Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Liberation

The next day, Zhu Houcong launched a full-scale counterattack, which kicked off one of the largest court rods in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Except for those who were too old, high-ranked, and of poor physique, who would die if they were beaten, all the ministers who made trouble in Zuo Shun were stripped off their pants and spanked violently. This spanking was unprecedented. The total number of people reached more than 140 people. Although they had been screened in advance, 16 people were still seriously injured. But the worst thing is not these dozen or so brothers, they will be over once they die, but the other brothers still have to suffer.For example, Mr. Yang Shen, as a negative example, was beaten with a return stick along with the other six leaders.

The stick was the next thing to do. The problem was the execution time. Only ten days after the first spanking, Chief Yang and others received the second spanking. After all, he is a young man with excellent physical fitness. After the second court stick, Yang Shen still survived. However, because his outstanding performance in this operation left a deep impression on Zhu Houcong, His Majesty the Emperor returned to him He added a supplementary treatment - exile. Yang Shen's place of exile is Yongchang, Yunnan, where the land is sparsely populated and uncivilized, it is really not a suitable place to live. Arranging such a place for him shows that His Majesty the Emperor hates him to the extreme.

From the son of a high-ranking cadre to a troublemaker and exiled felon, Yang Shen's fate has undergone earth-shaking changes almost overnight, but this is no longer important. The only thing he has to do now is to pack his bags and prepare to go on the road. As the saying goes, "If you survive a catastrophe, you must have a future blessing."Yang Shen was not so lucky, the imperial staff did not kill him twice, and the emperor did not kill him, but there is no shortage of people who want to kill him. On his long journey, a group of people have already set up an ambush, ready to kill him. Let him be completely free.

But this group of people is not the Emperor's Jin Yiwei, nor Zhang Cong's subordinates. In fact, they don't know Yang Shen, and they don't have any enmity. This person is Yang Shen's father, Yang Tinghe. He never imagined that it was something he did back then that caused his son's death. Although Yang Tinghe has all kinds of shortcomings, he is still a person who has worked hard for the country. When he was in charge of the government, one day he settled accounts with the Ministry of Households. The Minister told him that he had lost money (fiscal deficit) this year, and he would be in big trouble if he continued. At that time, there was no expansion of domestic demand or increase of exports, but Mr. Yang Tinghe was capable. After thinking hard, his eyes lit up and he came up with a solution.

It is not feasible to increase taxes. If the common people are driven into a hurry, countless Zhu Chongba will emerge, and they will be addicted to rebellion. This is not a joke. Since open source is not enough, we can only cut down on expenditure. Yang Tinghe resorted to a trick that has been tried and tested for thousands of years - layoffs. It should be said that Mr. Yang Tinghe did a good job in streamlining the organization. Soon he cut off many redundant organizations and redundant personnel, and announced these people on the list to show justice. The country has saved a lot of resources in this way. He got into trouble.

You must know that it was not easy to get a job in the imperial court in those days. Soon, he got a famous comment for this move - thinking all day long to come up with a killing list! Although he offended many people, he was still the chief assistant of the imperial court after all. Many people only dared to scold him in private and could not do anything to him, but now the opportunity came. Because Yang Tinghe was too vigorous, people didn't dare to trouble him after he retired, but Yang Shen was different. He just offended the emperor, and he probably didn't care if he got hacked halfway, and his political influence was not big. If you don't kill, you will kill in vain.

At this time, Yang Shen was seriously injured, unable to move, and couldn't even ride a horse, but the court officials didn't care about this and asked him to go on the road immediately. It seems that Mr. Yang is at the end of his life. He offended the emperor and powerful officials, and lost the support of the court. In front, a group of desperadoes are waiting for him, and he doesn't even have the strength to escape, so he can only lie on his stomach all the way ( There is no way) to meet the call of Lord Yama. But this time, it seemed that even Lord Yan felt that his temple was too small to accommodate the world's number one talented person, and in the end he didn't dare to accept him, because Mr. Yang was really too smart.

Since the day he set off on the road, his driver has fallen into deep confusion, because this employer is so strange, he always gives strange instructions, stops and starts, and has no rules at all, and sometimes walks well Some people insist on stopping and resting, and sometimes they rush on without stopping. It wasn't until they arrived in Yunnan that Yang Shen solved the mystery to them: If it wasn't for me, everyone would have died together long ago! You must know that Mr. Yang was spanked on his butt, not his head. His consciousness is still very clear. He had expected that someone would trouble him. The servant scouts the way, reports the news at all times, and with good arithmetic skills, calculates (really quite complicated) his own travel speed and schedule based on the other party's position, distance from himself, and change in the other party's direction of travel.

In this way, the killers took strict precautions, and went around all over the east, west, north, south, but hoped that Mr. Qiushui would not come, so Yang Shen slipped past. Even so, Yang Shen who successfully arrived in Yunnan is still a prisoner after all, and what awaits him next will be loneliness and torture. But this man is really capable. He was exiled in exile, but he is like a fish in water. Mr. Yang has no power or money. Not long after he went there, he established a deep friendship with local officials (incomprehensible), and began to call him brothers. Not only did they ignore him, they even openly violated the order and allowed him to go back to his hometown in Sichuan to visit relatives.His ability to engage in relationships is truly astonishing.

In this way, Yang Shen settled down at home in Yunnan, started reciting poems and writing poems, devoted himself to writing books, and often went out to travel when he had nothing to do. He lived a good life, but he never found the answer to the mystery in his heart. Why did my father take the initiative to back down and go home after he became an official (retired)? With the power of the imperial court at that time, if he persisted in the struggle, he would never lose so quickly and so badly. As the chief minister of the cabinet with decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, he must be aware of this, but unexpectedly chose to give up.

Yang Shen wanted to break his head, but he couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't understand the reason. It wasn't until five years later that he finally found the answer. In the eighth year of Jiajing (1529), Yang Tinghe died in his hometown in Xindu, Sichuan, at the age of seventy-one. The man who had gone through three dynasties was finally rested in peace. Fortunately for Yang Shen, he got the news in time and attended his father's funeral. At the moment when his father's coffin was buried in the ground and it was over, Yang Shen finally understood his father's calm and calm smile when he left. From a young editorial officer to a seasoned chief minister of the cabinet, from Liu Jin, Jiang Bin to Zhang Cong, he has spent his whole life in struggle. Decades of struggles, ups and downs, this It's time for everything to come to an end. He has defeated countless enemies, but he cannot escape the fate of being defeated in the end. In this game of power, there will never be an eternal winner. Just a laughing stock. Guess you're tired of it!Yang Shen stood in front of his father's tombstone, looking up at the sky, he finally found the final answer. Leaving a sigh, Yang Shen drifted away, unraveling the mystery, he has nothing to worry about. He returned to his place of exile, and for more than 30 years, he traveled between Sichuan and Yunnan, concentrating on writing books, studying knowledge, and writing many books to be passed down to later generations.Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, in terms of erudition and talent, there are three people who are the strongest, and most scholars of later generations believe that Yang Shen is the most knowledgeable, enough to rank first. This is a rather remarkable evaluation, because the other two brothers are much more famous than he, one is dead, and the other is his contemporary, but just born. The person who has passed away is the editor-in-chief of "Yongle Dadian", Xie Jin, the number one talent in Yongle, and the one who has not yet appeared is called Xu Wei, who is usually called Xu Wenchang. Being able to rank above these two brothers shows how powerful Yang Shen is.In fact, for the sake of reading, Mr. Yang Shen also felt a little helpless. After all, the place where he stayed was inconvenient for transportation and language barriers. Apart from studying hard every day and making progress every day, he seemed to have nothing else to do. Yang Shen spent decades leisurely and leisurely in Yunnan like this, and it was considered safe and sound, but what he didn't expect was that the shadow of death still enveloped him. Because in the imperial court, there is still one person thinking about him. Zhu Houcong quelled the turmoil and won the title for his parents, but this overly clever emperor didn't seem to be a person who knew how to forgive, and he didn't intend to let the Yang family and his son go. But unexpectedly, he finally forgave Yang Tinghe because of a conversation. A few years later, there were frequent natural disasters and crop failures. He was very worried, so he asked Li Shi, a cabinet scholar, a question: "Can the surplus food in the past be sustained?" Li Shi replied confidently: "Yes, there are still a lot of grain reserves in Taicang. This is all due to His Majesty's wisdom." Zhu Houcong didn't understand, he looked at Li Shi suspiciously. Li Shi didn't dare to neglect, and immediately responded with a smile: "Your Majesty forgot, when you ascended the throne, you once issued an edict to cut down the organization and divert personnel, so that the food can be saved for emergency!" Zhu Houcong was stunned. He knew the edict, but he understood better that he was not the one who drafted and issued the order: "You are wrong," Zhu Houcong replied very solemnly, "This is Mr. Yang's credit, not mine." But the emperor couldn't admit his mistakes after all, it was a matter of face, so one year after his death, Yang Tinghe was officially restored and got the recognition he deserved. Zhu Houcong understood Yang Tinghe, but he never let go of Yang Shen who made trouble with him. So in the long years since then, when he has nothing to do, he often asks the ministers a question: "Where is Yang Shen now, what is he doing, and how is he doing?" Zhu Houcong asked this question, naturally not to improve Yang Shen's treatment. If he knew the living conditions of Mr. Yang at the moment, he would have jumped up and sent someone to kill the grass. Fortunately, Yang Shen's popularity was quite good. When the emperor asked about it, the ministers would put on a bitter face and tell Yang Shen's tragic experience, saying that he regretted it very much and washed his face with tears every day. Hearing this, His Majesty the Emperor would nod happily and leave in satisfaction, but after a while he would ask the question again, with repeated trials and failures, it can be said that the hatred is deeper than the sea. But Yang Shen finally got a good death. He lived to be seventy-two years old, one year longer than his father, and died peacefully in the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing. But what is more famous than his writings and himself is his familiar poems, which are the result of his lifelong perception and wisdom: For thousands of years, right and wrong, honor and disgrace, you fight over each other, but that's all! I believe that Mr. Yang Shen has already fully realized it, but Mr. Jiajing is far from reaching this level. It is obvious that his thinking is not advanced enough. He once naively thought that being an emperor was a very easy task, just like a male lion, as long as it roars, all animals will bow to it.But when his orders were dismissed, his orders were not obeyed, and his system was not implemented, he discovered that in this world, no one can be relied on, and only himself can be trusted. Therefore, in this life-and-death struggle, the victor Jiajing got the only revelation: only strategy and violence can conquer all people, and there is no other way. It is his philosophy of wisdom to make full use of the people around him, but not let anyone monopolize the power and threaten his position. So the minister he needs is not an assistant or a secretary, but a puppet—a puppet that he can manipulate. After expelling Yang Tinghe, he has found his first suitable puppet——Zhang Cong. Zhang Cong probably cannot be regarded as a bad person, of course, he is not a good person either. In fact, he is just a small person with low self-esteem. "It became popular, and was almost beaten to death, which is considered unlucky. After hard work and narrow escapes, he finally saw the dawn of victory. Yang Tinghe left, and Yang Shen also left. Zhang Cong, who thought he could be proud of this, was surprised to find that although he was the winner, he was not the beneficiary. Considering Comrade Zhang Cong's great contribution, he should have entered the cabinet and realized his dream many years ago, but at this time, Mr. Zhang realized that although he turned over, it was difficult for him to jump into the dragon's gate. Let me introduce here, in order to enter the cabinet, there are generally three conditions. First of all, this person should have entered the Imperial Academy and been a scholar. This is the basic condition, which is equivalent to academic capital.Secondly, it must be recommended by the Council of Ministers of the DPRK and China, which is the so-called democratic recommendation. Of course, it is not acceptable to recommend yourself.In the end, the cabinet made a list, and the emperor made a final decision, which counted as joining the cabinet. If we compare Comrade Zhang Cong's resume with the above conditions, we will find that he is really not qualified. Needless to say about his education background, he has never even worked as a doorman in the Imperial Academy, and it would be foolish to ask the ministers to push him away. Just a memorandum of scolding him can bury him alive. It was discussed by the whole court and punished by all the ministers. So Mr. Zhang Cong was left with the last straw-the emperor agreed. But it's not enough just to have the boss's approval. The public base is too weak, and no one recommends it. You are always embarrassed to recommend yourself. Even if the matter froze here, Mr. Zhang Cong still has hope, because His Majesty still has a special power in the hands of the emperor, which allows him to enter the cabinet smoothly, which is Zhongzhi. The so-called central purpose means that the emperor directly orders the appointment and dismissal of personnel or promulgates decrees without discussion and election by the cabinet, which can be described as a shortcut.But the strange thing is that under normal circumstances, the emperor rarely uses Zhongzhi to promote ministers, and the reason for this can be described as surprising-the emperor is willing to give, but the ministers are not willing to ask. Officials in the Ming Dynasty did have a few tough bones. They despised officials directly appointed by the emperor. Only comrades who were rooted in the masses and had a wide support rate would get their support. Those who were promoted by the emperor's decree , Their unified evaluation is - shameless. Considering the issue of face, many people would rather not be promoted than take the path of Zhongzhi. But if you think that Mr. Zhang Cong did not rely on Zhongzhi to get promoted because of face, then you are wrong.Mr. Zhang Cong came from a humble background, and has always strongly demanded progress. It is hard to say whether he has any face. As for shame, that is really a very secondary issue. The reason why Zhongzhi was not used is that there is really no way to do it. To blame can only be blamed on Mr. Zhang Cong's bad reputation. Immediately use the right to refute and return the will! If things were done like this, it would be meaningless. It would be impossible to push back, and Zhongzhi had no hope. In desperation, Zhang Cong worked his brains, studied hard, and finally came up with a brilliant idea. Although he was hated by people in the court and was in a state of complete indifference, Zhang Cong believed that he could always find someone who supported him. After checking one by one, he finally confirmed the correctness of this judgment. The person who can help him join the cabinet is Yang Yiqing. Yang Yiqing can be regarded as Zhang Cong's loyal supporter. When he heard that Zhang Cong discussed the ceremony, he was lying in bed and taking an afternoon nap. He didn't pay much attention to it. Halfway through hearing it, he shook off his drowsiness, jumped out of bed refreshed, and uttered a terrible assertion: "Even if the sage is reborn, Zhang Cong can't be refuted!" Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it turns out that Yang Yiqing was right. After that, he became a loyal supporter of Zhang Cong and made great contributions to Yili. At the critical moment of joining the cabinet, Zhang Cong once again thought of this big man , I hope he will give his brother another hand when he comes out. Yang Yiqing agreed. For this well-tested officialdom veteran, re-entering the cabinet to play politics would be a pleasure before retirement. With this will, Yang Yiqing entered the cabinet and plunged into the political vortex again.As expected by Zhang Cong and others, the Emperor Jiajing made the decree, and the impeachment memorials were crushed like mountains and seas, and there were a lot of curses from the court. But no matter how excited the crowd was, it was not worth a word from the leader. Under Yang Yiqing's arrangement, the emperor's will was successfully implemented. Zhang Cong finally fulfilled Xiao Banxian's prophecy, and successfully entered the cabinet and became a bachelor. Zhang Cong is finally satisfied. He is naturally grateful to Mr. Yang Yiqing, and Yang Yiqing is also very pleased. Twenty years ago, Zhang Yong helped him and changed his fate ever since.Twenty years later, he gave Zhang Cong the same treatment, enabling this little man to achieve his ultimate dream. However, Yang Yiqing did not expect that his actions would not be rewarded with kindness, but would destroy half of his life's honor and fame. To be fair, in those days of disputes over rituals, Zhang Cong was still a person worthy of recognition. He stood up to speak for the helpless young emperor and against Yang Tinghe, who had power all over the world.It should be said that this is a brave act. Although he did it for speculative purposes, in fact, he did nothing wrong. Is it wrong for people to recognize their parents? But when he finally came to the fore and became a senior official in the court, things changed drastically. The cause of the change comes from Zhang Cong himself. This old man has suffered from a disease since he became famous. What's more troublesome is that what he got was not a simple fever and cold, but a terminal illness that could not be cured.In fact, there is no forensic medicine for this disease to this day, and its name is psychopathy. In Mr. Zhang Cong's body, the specific clinical manifestations are paranoia, selfishness, suspicion, dislike for anyone, stepping on whomever he sees, and so on. Unfortunately, the reason why Mr. Zhang contracted this problem was because he was scolded. Since his debut, he has been constantly scolded by people. First, he was bullied by the people in the Ministry of Rites, and he was not even given work arrangements. It is a rare animal, and the saliva on the memorial can drown him. Mr. Zhang had a psychological shadow in his youth, and was trampled by countless people in his middle age. Under extreme pressure and fear, his psychology was finally completely distorted. Not one is spared, not one is forgiven.This is Zhang Cong's motto. So Mr. Zhang started his struggle career, but he gave the same treatment to anyone who refused to obey him, listen to him, or serve him - evil punishment.Either let you wear small shoes, or find an opportunity to dismiss you as an official, and never stop until you are half dead. Fight today, fight tomorrow, and finally become the enemy of thousands of people. Countless officials said nothing on the surface, but when they mentioned the name Zhang Cong behind their backs, they all gritted their teeth, beat their chests and feet, and some even hung his portrait at home. Cursed at the painting, and scolded every day, rain or shine. The ridiculous thing is that Zhang Xueshi has no self-knowledge at all. He often greets his colleagues enthusiastically on the way to work, and he feels really good about himself. Mr. Zhang Cong's struggle history vividly explained a profound truth for us-how people become stupid. Bullying his subordinates was fine, but as his condition worsened, he aimed at a more powerful target—Yang Yiqing. Yang Yiqing is actually a very talkative person, and he doesn't care much about Zhang Cong at ordinary times, but Zhang Cong is a person who starts panting when he says he is fat, and feels more and more that Yang Yiqing is in the way (Yang Yiqing is the chief assistant), so in order to be able to do whatever he wants, he decides to take risks , to impeach their own leaders. So in the eighth year of Jiajing (1529), Zhang Cong suddenly launched an attack. Mr. Zhang was really extraordinary. He sent all the main officials under his command to impeach Yang Yiqing. And in the memorial, Zhang Cong also gave Yang Yiqing a very resounding nickname-traitor. The reason why Zhang Cong dared to do this was due to careful calculations. The emperor had a good relationship with him, and he had a bunch of buddies in the court. Although Yang Yiqing was a veteran cadre, he had just arrived and his foundation was not strong. It should not be a problem to get rid of him. This plan should have been correct. If there is no accident, the emperor will definitely favor Mr. Zhang Cong, his loyal supporter, but life seems to be always full of surprises. Soon, Yang Yiqing learned that he had been sued, but he was not surprised. He had seen this trick many times, and he knew who did it even with his eyes closed. Feng Memorial defended himself, scolded Zhang Cong a few words by the way, and then solemnly offered to resign. Zhang Cong was very surprised. In his opinion, Yang Yiqing's move was tantamount to digging his own grave.This was because Yang Yiqing was recommended to the emperor in private, so he was able to enter the cabinet smoothly, and as far as he knew, this person had a mediocre relationship with Emperor Jiajing, far inferior to himself, and he could not threaten anyone even if he offered to resign voluntarily. Could it be that Yang Yiqing has seen through the world of mortals and realized it?That's the end of the matter? The existence of such a naive idea fully shows that Comrade Zhang Cong has not yet enlightened. You must know that Mr. Yang Yiqing was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Chenghua (1472) and has been working in the court for 57 years. about the same age.If you open Mr. Yang's heavy file, count the list of enemies he has killed (such as Liu Jin, Yang Tinghe, etc.), and then weigh yourself, I believe Zhang Cong will make a more rational judgment. Not long after, the result came out. Instead of agreeing to Yang Yiqing's resignation, His Majesty the Emperor severely reprimanded Zhang Cong and others, asking them to do a good job of self-criticism. Now Zhang Cong was puzzled, Yang Yiqing really had no relationship with Jiajing, why did he defend him so much? Zhang Cong really couldn't be blamed for this, because he really didn't know too many things. More than ten years ago, when Zhu Houcong was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy who was a local rich man in Anlu, Hubei, his father, King Xingxian, said to him repeatedly: "If there are three people in the court, the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe!" Zhu Houcong firmly remembered his father's words, as well as the names of these three people: Li Dongyang, Liu Daxia, and Yang Yiqing. In Zhu Houcong's view, Yang Yiqing is his idol, and Zhang Cong is just a follower. If the follower wants to fight against the idol, it can only be said that he is beyond his control. So under Zhu Houcong's repeated pleadings, the old cadre Yang reluctantly withdrew his resignation letter, expressing that he would not retire after being beaten to death, and was willing to continue to shine for the country. Zhang Cong was completely at a loss, but he didn't expect that even bigger troubles were yet to come. The officials have endured it for a long time, and most of them have suffered from Zhang Cong. If it weren't for the fact that this person is popular, they would have gone to fight him for a long time, and now the opportunity for revenge has finally come. Soon there was another fistfight and drooling, Zhang Cong couldn't stand it anymore, and Zhu Houcong didn't want him to continue to stand up, so he made a heartbroken decision-dismiss Zhang Cong. And Zhang Cong really surprised the emperor. After hearing the news, he didn't die hard or cry bitterly, but took an unexpected move-run away. Mr. Zhang Cong seems to be rude, no matter what, there is no need to run so fast. runs fast?If you don't run fast, you will be beaten to death! In fact, Brother Zhang Cong has a clear understanding of his situation. Although those people seem to be submissive now, once they capsize, they will definitely step on it without hesitation, and then spit . So he and Gui E didn't even pack their luggage, and escaped overnight, the speed was really jaw-dropping. The moment Zhang Cong escaped from the capital, he was almost in complete despair. He had experienced so many turmoil and setbacks before he sat where he is today, and in this embarrassing night, he would lose everything. It seems too fast! Maybe God also thinks so, so he didn't abandon Zhang Cong, this time he just made a little joke with Mr. Zhang, Zhang Cong will get back everything that belongs to him soon.His glory will continue until he meets the true enemy of his destiny. Facts have proved that Zhang Cong is a very efficient person. He ran out in August, but he came back in less than a month.Of course, His Majesty the Emperor called him back. The reason why such a change happened was that one of Zhang Cong's colleagues wrote a letter to scold Yang Yiqing.In fact, it’s no big deal to be scolded. In those days, from the emperor to the county magistrate, people who had never been scolded could count them with their fingers. not give a damn about. But the problem is, the emperor cares. He drove Zhang Cong away in a moment of anger. He still has feelings for this man who has made great contributions to him, and he doesn't want to kill him.After calming down, he decided to withdraw his decision and let Zhang Cong continue to be his cabinet minister. Zhang Cong was reinstated as an official, but at the same time, Yang Yiqing filed another application for retirement. After fighting for decades, there is really no need to continue, so let's end here. But this is just Yang Yiqing's personal wish and has nothing to do with Zhang Cong.After experiencing this blow, his mental illness has developed to an extremely serious level, and he will never let Yang Yiqing go. In fact, the emperor didn't want his idol to leave, and he didn't intend to approve his resignation, but this time, Zhang Cong achieved his goal in a very clever way and drove away Yang Yiqing. When many speech officials attacked Yang Yiqing against the wind and demanded that he be demoted to the people, Zhang Cong made an unexpected move-to intercede for Yang Yiqing. The classic sentence of Mr. Zhang’s intercession is as follows: "Your Majesty, please treat Yang Yiqing leniently for the sake of Yang Yiqing's great achievements!" In this way, without knowing it, Yang Yiqing was naturally convicted by Zhang Cong, and compared with being demoted to the people, the honorable retirement is really a great grace, and he was frankly lenient. So Yang Yiqing got the emperor's permission and returned home, preparing to spend his old age in peace. But this time he didn't get his wish. In his hometown, before Mr. Yang Yiqing had time to learn how to raise birds and play Tai Chi, he received a cruel order—cut off his official position, withdraw his rewards, and wait for processing. Mr. Yang was charged with embezzlement and bribery. Specifically, he received money that should not be collected, money from a dead person——Zhang Yong. It is said that after Zhang Yong's death, Yang Yiqing received two hundred taels of gold from Zhang Yong's family - not for nothing, and he will not be rewarded for his merits. He wrote an epitaph for Zhang Yong. Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong are old friends, so taking some money is nothing, but in Zhang Cong's view, this is a form of bribery in disguise (with a strong sense of anti-corruption), so he gathered his subordinates and sued him severely . Yang Yiqing did receive two hundred taels, but it was not gold, but silver. With his identity and calligraphy, this amount was not too much, but in political struggles, means are never important, what matters is the purpose. Yang Yiqing finally broke down. After countless years of ups and downs, at the last moment of his life, he got such a fate.He uttered a final lament, and departed: "Struggle all your life, but get hurt by villains!" In fact, such an exclamation is meaningless. Everyone who participates in this cruel game will eventually give everything they have.In a sense, this is also a relief. Zhang Cong was happy, he actually defeated Yang Yiqing!Victory came so quickly and so easily, no one dared to touch his authority again! Zhang Cong laughed triumphantly. In his opinion, the future is already bright. But he didn't know that his luck had come to an end, and an enemy had appeared in front of him.
