Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

As for Cui Sheng, the only one with the highest rank was Lu Bocheng. read

Originally, he had many generals under his command, but his Fengxiang army not only ate meat, but also often couldn't even eat broth. As a result, many well-connected generals took their close subordinates and joined other marshals.

As a result, Cui Sheng has few trustworthy subordinates.

He was afraid that Lu Bocheng was the only one who was useful and loyal, so Cui Sheng let Lu Bocheng do the trouble.

So Fengxiang Army focused on developing its own power.

It is a gratifying and terrifying thing to have a general who begins to understand how to command power.

Lu Bocheng just wants to focus on development and quietly strengthen the team.

But even ground can make waves.

Life is too stable, and people who are so idle always want to do something.

After Wang Hu's death, rebel armies from all walks of life went into hibernation.

They don't have Wang Hu's power, they don't have as many soldiers and horses, and they don't have as much money as him.

Wang Hu was overthrown by Shuo's army, and he and all his wives and concubines were beheaded by Emperor Shuo. Naturally, other rebels did not dare to jump up and down anymore.

The rebel army was silent, but the various towns and military envoys respected themselves and began to separate themselves.

Doesn’t the court know?

of course I know.

It's just that the imperial court has long lost the ability to restrict local governments.

The total number of the Guanzhong Forbidden Army is only about 100,000. A large festival town has hundreds of thousands of people. Even the little Fengxiang has tens of thousands of troops.

What can Emperor Shuo do?

Just pretend you can't see it, what else can you do?

Anyway, there is food and drink, and there is no shortage of women in the palace. Every day, the palace is filled with joy and happiness.

Why do you deal with those annoying things?

A bunch of ambitious Jiezhen are eyeing Chang'an. Among these towns, Wu Quanzhong had the largest number of people and the strongest soldiers and horses.

Wu Quanzhong was responsible for most of Wang Hu's death.

First, he led his men and horses to surrender to Shuo's army, and then led his men and horses to chase Wang Hu's army several times, and continued to absorb Wang Hu's surrendered troops.

Finally, when Wang Hu was desperate, he heard that Wu Quanzhong also sent people to force him to commit suicide in exchange for the lives of his brothers.

After Wang Hu's death, Wu Quanzhong seemed to have become the number one hero of Dashuo.

In July, a capture ceremony was held in Daxuan Tower of Emperor Shuo, and the meritorious officials were awarded the title of meritorious officials. Wu Quanzhong was first granted the title of Inspector of the School, and later was granted the titles of Tongping Zhangshi and Pei Junhou.

He is already in a high position of authority.

During the Shuo Dynasty, the three provinces of Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province comprehensively managed government affairs. The three senior officials are also prime ministers.

Among them, Zhongshu and Menxiasheng are located in the palace and are regarded as the most important secrets. Often jointly referred to.

Wu Quanzhong's Tongpingzhangshi is called "Tongzhongshumenxiapingzhangshi".

Since these two provinces were located within the palace, Wu Quanzhong often went in and out of the palace to assist in political affairs.

In addition to often going in and out of the inner palace to assist in political affairs, Wu Quanzhong obtained most of Wanghu's troops. His troops expanded rapidly, and his territory also expanded rapidly.

Originally, when he first surrendered, he was appointed governor of Bianzhou. Later, the whole of Henan was gradually taken over. Put the prosperous Henan into his territory.

It also expanded from Henan to the surrounding areas, and successively acquired many vassal towns such as Northern Jiangsu, Shandong, and Hebei.

After Wang Hu's death, Wu Quanzhong became the most powerful force among the armies in the Central Plains.

At this time, Wu Quanzhong was granted the title of Tongping Zhangshi and was able to enter and exit the inner palace, which gave Wu Quanzhong many opportunities.

Emperor Shuo didn't know anything about it and only indulged in enjoying himself in the harem.

The court affairs were not dealt with once for a month or two. He trusted Wu Quanzhong and delegated all political affairs to him.

Wu Quanzhong had the opportunity to enter and leave the inner palace every day, and because he was busy with political affairs, he often stayed overnight in the inner palace.

He handles political affairs for Emperor Shuo every day and does some hard and dirty work, but in the blink of an eye he sees Emperor Shuo eating and drinking deliciously, holding a woman in his arms and listening to musicians playing and singing...

How could Wu Quanzhong not tolerate a little disturbance in his heart?

How is he worse than Emperor Shuo?

Is it because he can't fight, or because he looks worse than Emperor Shuo?

It seems to be a bit inferior, not as tender and fair as his skin.

But aren’t his muscles more powerful than Shuohuang’s? More endurance?

Put down that woman and let me do it!

Wu Quanzhong sees this kind of thing every day and wants to yell every day.

This status of being inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people no longer satisfies him.

But he endured it.

This winter, not only was it unusually cold all over the country, but it was also unusually uneasy.

It turned out that since Emperor Shuo ascended the throne, the court had been unstable, and uprisings continued in various places. In the end, he was forced to move his capital to Bashu.

Finally, I went back to Chang'an. I was shocked, frightened, and exhausted. My health was not very good to begin with, and I was prone to drinking and sex.

I don’t know why, but just after the New Year, Emperor Shuo died suddenly in his palace.

A lot of people were shocked.

Now, the precarious Shuo Dynasty may be even more chaotic.

The news of Shuohuang's sudden death reached Fengxiang.

Cui Sheng immediately knelt down in the direction of Chaodu and cried: "My emperor... I am so sad..."

Lu Bocheng felt nothing.

He also wanted to shed a few tears, but he couldn't squeeze them out.

He lowered his head and knelt next to Cui Sheng: "Marshal, it's better to prepare and bring people to Beijing to express condolences."

"Exactly."

Cui Sheng came to his senses and hurriedly ordered the entire army to wear linen and mourn. White cloths were hung everywhere, and all colored things were put away.

He hurriedly put on silk clothes, ordered Lu Bocheng to temporarily take over his duties and guard Fengxiang's army, and then led a group of troops to the capital.

Lu Bocheng went around the military camp and collected everything that was taboo and should be collected.

Meat was also ordered to be put away.

Be vegetarian for a month.

After giving the order, not to mention the drumming, everyone even walked lightly. But we can't just do nothing and cry bitterly face to face, right?

Therefore, Lu Bocheng ordered him to do whatever he was supposed to do at other times except kneeling down and wailing in the direction of Chang'an twice a day. Training was essential.

Practice military posture when you should practice military posture, practice skills when you should practice skills, and run when you should run.

All the soldiers thought that Lu Bocheng was a devil.

They were only given one day off during the Chinese New Year. The emperor was gone and they were not given time to grieve. They were either practicing or training every day.

But no one backed down.

All want to live. Although as tired as a dog. But no one complained.

Another month passed and Cui Sheng did not come back.

At this time, Lu Bocheng received news that the late emperor's half-brother had succeeded him.

Another piece of news is that Wu Quanzhong was named King of Liang. And most of Shanxi and part of Hebei were placed under the jurisdiction of Wu Quanzhong.

Lu Bocheng frowned when he heard the news.

He was just a demoted general from Wang Hu, how did he step by step from the governor to the king of Liang?

His father, a private school teacher, did not teach him to be a scholar or a scholar. Instead, Wu Quanzhong, who had been prone to fighting and causing trouble since childhood, started his career in the rebel army.

Even if a group of generals from Shuo Dynasty said that he was of improper origin and looked down upon his status as a subordinated general.

But it didn't affect his promotion at all. Look at this person, he was inferior to one person and inferior to ten thousand people in a blink of an eye.

How long has it been?

Lu Bocheng didn't understand.

Is the promotion path for some people too smooth? God's biological son, right? Climb so fast?

Another month passed and Cui Sheng still hadn't come back.

Lu Bocheng became a little uneasy. Throughout the dynasties, when the old emperor was replaced by the new emperor, something would always happen.

You won't carry it like this, right? Is this really going to happen?

Do you want to take someone to greet you?

Just when Lu Bocheng was planning to recruit men from the army, Cui Sheng came back.
