For half an hour, there was still not even a ghost in Youzhou. No one came out, and the guards on the city gate either looked like they were facing an enemy, or were looking at them from a distance.
They are all old tricks. It can be concluded that there is no ambush in the city, and there is no conspiracy. If there is an ambush, the guards on the wall cannot look like that and can't pretend.
Jiang Zhui came back and found nothing unusual.
"Since there is no ambush, it is simply not giving face. It seems that not only His Royal Highness the King of Han is not giving face, but also the squires and aristocratic families in Youzhou City are not giving face. No one comes out."
Han You laughed at himself, and then became murderous: "Enter the city, occupy the gate, clear the inner and outer walls of the west city gate, unfurl the imperial flag, and those who resist the uniform and attack with swords will be killed without mercy!"
After finishing speaking, Han You looked at Tie Chen, who was watching the excitement, and sighed: "I'll give you fifty people. Go ahead and dig a grave."
Tie Chen laughed loudly, randomly ordered fifty people, and walked away. Before leaving, he called out, "Han You is in charge."
Fu Yuxiang got on his horse, drew out his long sword, and the old soldiers behind him quickly formed a siege formation.
The city guards on the city wall who seemed to be alright finally panicked, shouting something, and many people ran down the city wall.
Fu Yuxiang was deeply afraid that the guards would close the city gate, so with a command, the war horses galloped forward.
Seeing that these people were about to rush into the city, someone finally came out, a man, alone, old and frail, at least sixty years old, walking slowly and leisurely, like a sloth in Crazy Animal City.
That is to say, before Fuyuxiang could speed up his horse, a group of fierce soldiers also had amazing riding skills and almost collided with the old man. The distance was only five or six steps before they could stop the horse's hooves.
The old man's reaction was obviously a little slow, and the fish and elephant were already pulling in the reins. He was startled, trembled, and subconsciously took two steps back, and then became furious.
"You bastard, a fool who doesn't know how to fight for life or death!"
Fu Yuxiang was stunned and didn't dare to reply. One reason was that the other person was older, and the other was because of his clothes.
Brown clothes, crab claw sleeves, and gold belt at the waist.
The main thing is this "belt". The previous dynasty is different from the current dynasty. The current dynasty wears a jade belt, which is also a cloth belt, but with jade and other decorations, which vary according to the grade.
The previous dynasty was different. Low-level officials in the previous dynasty, such as those of the eighth or ninth rank, were equipped with stone belts, while those of the sixth and seventh rank were equipped with silver belts. Starting from the fifth rank, to the fourth, third, second and first ranks, they were all equipped with gold belts.
If these high-ranking officials retire and return to their hometowns, and they have a normal retirement, they can continue to wear the gold belt, but only retired officials above the fifth rank can wear it.
This means that the person who stopped the fish elephant was a retired official, and he was at least fifth grade.
Fifth grade, Fuyuxiang doesn’t care.
He doesn't really care about the fourth grade.
But, if you only look at the gold belt and not the official robe, it is very likely that this old man will be a third-grade, or even a second-grade, before he retires.
Of course it can't be the first rank, because all the first rank officials in the previous dynasty were relatives of the emperor, and basically all of them were allowed to "commit suicide" on the night when Lao Ba seized the palace, and the rest were also allowed to "tour the mountains and rivers" Yes, these people are very playful. They disappear when they visit the mountains and rivers. It has been more than a year and I don’t even have a message. I don’t know where they went. It seems that there are still many people who are missing. ten years.
"Old thing!"
Shu Hua, who has been eager to get ahead recently, said coldly: "A good dog doesn't block the road. If you don't care about life and death, get out of here!"
"What a brave man!" The old man said angrily: "I am the former envoy of the Oversight Station, I am Pang Pan, who are you?"
As soon as the old man announced his name, the air seemed to freeze, and his pupils shrank like pinpoints.
Shu Hua was stunned for a moment, then snorted: "My name is Jiang Zhui. Jiang drowned in the river. He was overtaken and broke his dog's legs."
"Okay, I will remember you." Pang Pan snorted heavily, then looked at the dumbfounded Fu Yuxiang: "Who are you?"
Fu Yuxiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and forced himself to calm down: "I am General Lu Baichuan."
A group of people looked at each other, and for some reason they didn't dare to tell their real names.
Fu Yuxiang was really dumbfounded. Of course he knew about the Pang family. He had already learned about it on the way here. He didn't care about the Pang family. The problem was that this old man was the envoy of the former Supervisory Station and a fourth-rank official!
The officials of the previous dynasty were almost meaningless in this dynasty, let alone Han You and others. The main reason is that this old man is very famous. He is so famous that even Fu Yuxiang, who was hanging out in Nanguan before, has heard of such a number. figure.
The Pang family has been famous in the East China Sea for a long time, but there are only a handful of officials, and the most famous one is Pang Pan.
This old guy can be said to have raised the supervisory profession, a profession based on trolling, to a level it should not have had. When people are supervisors, they just troll people, while Pang Pan directly kills them.
The old man is not good at teasing others. He loses every time he gets into a fight with others in the court. He can't even talk to others. He can't do it. His qualities are not that good. When he comes down from court, he blocks people at the gate of the palace. When he comes up, he beats them with all his teeth and claws.
If it were just like that, this old guy wouldn't be so famous. The main reason is that he can't spray him, but he can't beat him after all.
Just look at his current body, he is as thin as a big wolfdog that just came out of the breeding farm. When he was young, he was also a weak scholar who could be knocked down by the wind.
If you can’t spray me, you can’t beat me, but this old man is a tough guy. If you can’t spray me, keep spraying me. If you can’t beat me, I’ll continue to fight you. Otherwise, you can spray me to death. You, one of us will die anyway.
It can be said that even the former Demon King Ma Rulong and Mr. Ma were tortured by this old man and there was no way he could do anything about it.
Faced with such an old man, you can tell me what to do with Mr. Ma. Mr. Ma does not go to court, but he always wanders around the capital, riding his horse and preparing to go to the brothel. An old man jumps up and wants to fuck you. Not to mention fighting back, Ma Rulong has to pull in the reins, fearing that his horse will be frightened and kick the old man.
Besides, in the court environment at that time, there was one kind of person who was indispensable for the mediocre emperor, and that was his favored ministers. In many cases, favored ministers were basically linked to treacherous ministers.
Many people were very surprised why the whole court, including the emperor, knew that this favorite minister was a traitor, but the emperor refused to get rid of him.
There is nothing to understand about this. For example, when you were a child, you went to school and did not study hard and skipped classes every day. Then, instead of beating you, your father would give you hundreds of dollars a day to go to an Internet cafe. So for your son, Is this good or bad?
My son must be happy. Even though he knows it is wrong to skip school and go to an Internet cafe, he still feels that his father is good to him.
Mom, I will beat you every day to make you study hard and be a good person.
The son knows that his mother is doing it for his own good, but he just doesn’t like his mother and likes his father.
To give another example, Bao Zheng and Hai Rui are first-class loyal ministers and loyal ministers. Why don't they be welcomed by the emperor? Even though they know that they are good people and are doing it for the good of the court, they still don't welcome them.
It’s still easy to understand. How can the emperor not be angry? Today he kills a relative of mine who loves his concubine, tomorrow he scolds me for being late for work, and the day after tomorrow he blocks me from building a palace. It would be strange if he is not angry.
Pang Pan is not this kind of person, but another kind of minister, another kind of minister that the emperor with a brain must need, that is, "Zhengchen".
The old man can fight against the sky, the earth, and the air in between. He can fight against everyone except his wife.
This old man is famous for his toughness. The three previous emperors all valued this old man's toughness.
Lao Pang never cares about who the other person is, no matter how many people there are, let alone what background the other person has, he only asks where the person who should be insulted is.
The three emperors of the previous dynasty liked this old man so much that there was only one kind of person that Pang Pan hated, the bad guy.
There are many bad guys, even the emperor can't easily move them. So if Lao Pang takes action, the emperor can borrow a donkey to go downhill. Of course, the cost is quite high, because Lao Pang even denounces the emperor.
After fighting against the emperor for three dynasties, Lao Pang could no longer fight against him, so he resigned and returned to his hometown, returning to Youzhou to serve as the head of the Pang family.
Seeing the legendary troll from the previous dynasty, Fu Yuxiang was really trembling, because after Lao Ba came to the throne, he wanted to recruit some people, including Pang Pan. It is worth mentioning that he still wanted to make Pang Pan the leader. Auxiliary, that is, the work Shen Tugang did.
If Pang Pan was grouped together, where would it be Shentu Gang's turn to be the prime minister and assistant minister?
At the beginning, Lao Ba wanted to conquer Pang Pan, mainly because of the cost-effectiveness. First, the old man was famous, second, he valued the Pang family's influence in the East China Sea, and third, he also wanted to follow the example of those emperors who used Pang Pan's words to get rid of them. Drop some people.
As a result, Pang Pan did not agree and wrote a reply. Several letters were well known to everyone. The first letter contained only one sentence and four words. It was no different from the previous king.
The ancients wrote letters without punctuation, so it is different from the previous emperor. The four words are thought-provoking.
It’s either a period or a question mark. There’s a huge gap between a period and a question mark.
The former king refers to the faint king of the previous dynasty.
What's the difference? It's easy to understand. What's the difference?
If it is a full stop, it is an affirmative sentence, which means that there is no difference between Lao Ba and the foolish king from the previous dynasty.
You must know that the Pang family attaches great importance to "ritual" and "system". Ritual is the etiquette of etiquette, and system is the system of system. The word "ritual" contains too many things. It is not justifiable for Lao Ba to ascend the throne and obtain the throne. He will definitely be looked upon by the Pang family. Unaccustomed to it, Lao Ba's surname is Zhou, not Kang. Although he did not cause chaos in the world, he still "conspired" to ascend the throne.
So the old man who rebelled and ascended the throne had an unfair position and an unfair name. In the eyes of the old man, there is no difference from the foolish king of the previous dynasty. The foolish king of the previous dynasty was fatuous and unprincipled. You, Zhou Ke, Zhou Laoba, are not a good bird either. ,rebellion!
At that time, Lao Ba was still thinking about these four words. Pang Pan couldn't be so ignorant, so the four words "How is the former emperor different?" should be a question mark, meaning what is the difference between me and the previous emperor.
Question marks also have different understandings. For example, a woman asks her suitor, are you different from the scumbag of my ex-boyfriend?
Maybe it means that there is no difference between you and my ex-boyfriend, and the tone is very contemptuous.
Or maybe I want to ask if you are different from my ex-boyfriend and not such a scumbag.
The old man is born arrogant and arrogant. He thought it was the latter, and then he started to reply to the letter, and there were a lot of excuses. The letter said that I will definitely be a wise king, I will treat the people well, and I will treat the scholars well. What can I do? How about this? Anyway, I said a lot of good things, mainly to brag and market myself.
Soon, Pang Pan replied. It was still one sentence, four words, why did the former king die?
Lao Ba was very confused. Everyone knew that the previous emperor committed suicide and committed suicide by stabbing his back seven or eight times.
Looking at the four words "Why did my ex-lord die?", Lao Ba thought about it all night.
He knew how the previous emperor died, and he also knew that Pang Pan knew how the previous emperor died.
Since the old man asked the question knowingly, the old man simply thought about being an "open" person and telling the truth. The former emperor committed suicide with my help and received seven or eight stabs.
Lao Ba's main image is to be upright and aboveboard. Then, he received the third letter from Pang Pan. This time it was not four words, but a paragraph.
Keeping you alive is exactly what I mean today. There is nothing to ask about today’s affairs.
It can be said that if it were not for the desperate hold of civil and military forces at that time, Lao Ba would definitely take Jingwei to Youzhou to cut Pang Pan into pieces!
