Please ask me to be the emperor
Chapter 876: Surrender first (Part 1)
On this day in the prison of Prince Fu's Mansion, Lu Xiangsheng was boxing "hem ha ha ha" in prison.
This guy was only thirty-five or six years old, in the prime of his life, but he had a lot of strength, and he only punched him with great force.
It's just that the shepherd Yang Lukai and the servant Gu Xian who followed him to jail were so used to it and turned a blind eye that they didn't even bother to flatter him.
Why?
Originally, only Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou were imprisoned. It has been more than three months.
The rebels did not abuse them, but provided them with good food and drink.
At first, the four of them were in high spirits. They went to bed early and got up early. Apart from eating and drinking, they sat and discussed Taoism, or made some fist and foot gestures, and enjoyed themselves.
But as time passed, all four of them got tired of it. No matter what he did, he was all out of interest, and he was almost driven crazy by being bored in this small prison.
Lu Xiangsheng fought for a long time without even breathing. But no one cheered, and it wasn't very interesting.
He closed his fist and shouted: "Hong Junmen, don't sleep. Let's play a game of chess if it's okay!"
"No interest!" Hong Chengchou said lazily while lying on the haystack, "No matter how good you are in boxing, what's the use? Maybe one day the thieves will rush in, hold us down and tie us up, and then drag us to the entrance of the market to chop us. Got it!"
"It's all over once and for all!" Lu Xiangsheng sighed after hearing this and said, "Looking at it like this, could it be that the 'shun thief' locked us up here and forgot about it?"
"How is it possible? You are the governor of Yunyang, and I am the governor of the five provinces. In the eyes of those white people, they are great officials!" Hong Chengchou couldn't help but emphasize. "How could you forget?"
"Then why have we been imprisoned for so long and no one cares about us except giving us some meals every day?" Lu Xiangsheng asked.
"This" Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, was speechless.
"You two have been waiting for a long time! Zhang has been busy with trivial matters these days, so he only has time to visit you two today!" Just as the two looked at each other, Zhang Shun's voice rang out at the right time.
"Huh!" The two people quickly turned their heads when they heard the sound.
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives. The two were just talking about the "Shun Thief" here, and the "Shun Thief" happened to appear. It seems like we really want to see him. Isn't this just throwing an old man into the haystack - throwing an adult?
Wow, you are so arrogant!
Zhang Shun said with a smile: "You two don't know. The reason Zhang hasn't come here these days is just that he left Luoyang for the Eastern and Southern Expeditions!"
"Eastern Expedition, Southern Expedition?" Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng were stunned when they heard this. Their expressions changed greatly and they asked in surprise, "What happened to Governor Tang Hui of Huguang and Governor Xuanmo of Henan?"
But listening to the change in his voice, it is obvious that Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang, cares more about Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, while Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, cares more about Xuanmo, the governor of Henan.
It turns out that when Lu Xiangsheng was the governor of Yunyang, he had no troops and no money. He only managed to survive with the support of Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang. I am very grateful to him.
As for Xuan Mo, the former governor of Henan, although his military and political affairs were quite satisfactory, he was at least obedient and useful.
At the beginning, both Chen Qiyu and Hong Chengchou, the governors of the five provinces, had a good impression of him.
When Zhang Shun heard this, he knew that the two people had different concerns, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Hong doesn't know something. It turns out that during the war between you and me, Xuanmo, the governor of Henan, also fought with the 'Cao Ying', 'Chuang Ying', and 'Xian Ying' rebels. In a fierce battle, Xuan Mo didn't know how to fight, so he was defeated and died because of his defeat!"
"The governor of Huguang, Tang Hui, led his elite troops and fought with me all the way to the north. I attacked Nanyang City and massacred the Tang royal clan. The imperial court was horrified, so he was deprived of his status as a citizen and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to wait for processing!"
"This... this, how could it be like this!" Hong Chengchou never expected that Xuan Mo, the governor of Henan, was even worse than himself and died immediately.
And Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang, couldn't help but sigh: "It's all my fault that I was so conceited that I harmed Tang Fujun!"
"You two don't need to be sad and blame yourself. Emperor Chongzhen was jealous of talents and could not use them to their full potential. This is the fate of heaven!" Zhang Shun opened his eyes and lied.
"Previously, in order to reassure you two, I specially sent my confidants to their hometowns to welcome back their family members."
"Mrs. Lu understands the righteousness well and has brought your wife and two brothers to our rebel army. Now your wife and my wife and concubines are very good, and your brother is also alert and brave, and he has become a general of our army!"
"Nonsense!" Lu Xiangsheng was furious when he heard this. He stood up suddenly and stepped forward to grab Zhang Shun.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun took two steps back slightly and avoided Lu Xiangsheng's hands.
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't reach him and couldn't help but said angrily: "I heard that a benevolent person will not harm the enemy's family, and a person who has the world in mind will not persecute a loyal person. Although the overlord in the past was violent, he never killed the father of Han Gaozu; although Cao Cao was traitorous, he never Prevent Guan Yunchang from seeking refuge with his master. Since King Shun has the world in mind, how can he act like this!"
"General Lu has misunderstood. Your Majesty, your wife, and your brother have really defected to our army. Here is a handwritten letter from them. Please read it carefully!"
"Nonsense, nonsense!" Lu Xiangsheng said angrily, "My parents have always taught me to put loyalty first, how could I do such a shameless thing?"
Lu Xiangsheng was very angry when he suddenly saw Zhang Shun handed over the letter in front of him, and he couldn't help but stop suddenly.
Familiar handwriting is written on the envelope of the book: My son Lu Xiangsheng is hereby proclaimed!
"Mother!" Lu Xiangsheng was so excited that he quickly tore it open and took a look.
"Have you forgotten how I fell into this guy's evil trap in the first place!" Unexpectedly, Hong Chengchou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly reminded him.
"Ah? Yes! Yes, are you trying to deceive me again?" Lu Xiangsheng glared angrily.
"Haha, General Lu has always been shrewd, how can he make people laugh now?" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing and said, "Firstly, I don't know the handwriting of your Majesty, Madam and others, and secondly, you don't know the handwriting. The mud sealing of the royal hall?"
Lu Xiangsheng was stunned, and quickly looked at the seal of the letter, which was covered with a familiar seal mark, which he had carved with his own hands.
It turns out that during the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was popular to bundle important documents into packages, seal the book with clay in the open position, and then stamp it with an inscription seal to prevent others from opening it without authorization.
This is called "mud seal", "mud seal" or "seal". It is a very ancient anti-counterfeiting method. The lacquer seal that became popular in Europe later was almost the same method.
The seal between Zhang Shundi and Lu Xiangsheng was clearly stamped with his seal, and he couldn't help but disbelieve it.
At Zhang Shun's signal, Lu Xiangsheng opened the letter in surprise and saw more than one letter inside.
He opened it and took a quick look, and found that there were those belonging to his mother, Mrs. Lu, of the Li family, his wife, the Wang family, and his younger brothers, Lu Xiangjin and Lu Xiangguan.
Lu Xiangsheng looked around in panic and saw that Mrs. Lu was just mumbling something like, "Work hard for King Shun. Everything at home is fine, please don't worry about me."
His wife Wang said nonsense like "King Shun's wife Li has a son, who is smart and lovely, and she has adopted him as her adopted son", which hinted at urging him to go home and see each other as soon as possible.
The two brothers Lu Xiangjin and Lu Xiangguan said nonsense, "King Shun treated me very well, please don't worry about me, brother."
"Before, my brother and I were the best in the world in martial arts, and we brothers were second and third respectively. Now after fighting against King Shun's guards Wukong and Wang Jinyi, I realized that there are mountains beyond the mountains and there is a sky beyond the sky. Now I only see the two of us. It’s a shame to be ranked third or fourth in the world!”
"Now, King Shun is recruiting troops. The two of us have gone to Yiyang with General Wei to recruit troops and train soldiers. If we do well, we can hopefully lead another army and serve as King Shun's wing." Waiting for different reasons. And enough.
The author worked overtime today and came home very late. There is only one update. Please forgive me. If time permits, I’ll try to make it up tomorrow!
