Han Shizu

Chapter 126 Guilty
At dawn the next day, before dawn, the soldiers ate quickly, and before the temperature rose, the brigade set off southward.Not hurrying, traveling for more than forty li, to the city of Longgang, the governor of Xingzhou.

Forcing the city, going down to the stronghold.

At this time, Xue Huairang, the Anguo Army Jiedu envoy in the city, was woken up early because of Liu Chengyou's visit, but he was very upset.

Xue Huairang is over fifty and a half years old, but his body is quite strong. He eats meat, drinks alcohol thirsty, and guards women at night. Although his behavior is greedy and violent, his appearance is still decent. As long as he doesn't open his mouth to speak, he can't tell that he is a vulgar warrior.

"What kind of second prince is this, is he deliberately disturbing people's dreams?" Xinna's young concubine crawled up from her chest, cursing, expressing her dissatisfaction while tidying up.His old face was a little pale, as if he had consumed too much last night.

"Jie Shuai, the Second Prince sent an envoy into the city to ask you to meet at the barracks." When going to the hall, a Jie Du Tui officer walked crampedly to make way for the yawning Xue Huai.

"Huh?" As soon as his footsteps stopped, Xue Huai let his beard curl up: "What kind of second prince is this, so domineering? Why is this old man so strict? He personally appointed him, but he is so arrogant to me, isn't it too arrogant!"

After finishing speaking, Xue Huairang, who was originally dissatisfied, turned his head and wanted to return the room, and waved his hands: "Leave him alone!"

Seeing his waywardness, the Tui Guan hurriedly persuaded him: "Don't be handsome! After all, he is the second prince, a nobleman of the Tian family, with a great reputation. He is young and vigorous, if he offends him, it will inevitably lead to disaster."

If you want to push the official, you'll just tell Xue Huairang directly that you can't afford to offend him.

After calming down a bit, Xue Huairang snorted as if venting: "It's just a child, I want to see what kind of character this second prince who beat Khitan hard is like."

No matter how upset he was, he honestly led people out of the city to Liu Chengyou's camp.

In front of the gate, looking at the two rows of soldiers who set up the sword bridge, the sunlight reflected by the steel swords flashed so painfully in the eyes.Seeing this battle, Xue Huairang was still whimpering, and muttered to himself: "Is this trying to give me a bad blow? It's ridiculous. With this trick, you want to scare the old man?"

Raising his eyebrows and beard, Xue Huairang led his followers and walked in with their heads held high. The soldiers put away their sabers in time and let them walk to the tent of the Chinese army.Then, he was stopped by Li Chongju.

"Mr. Xue, please release the weapon!" The young commander didn't show any arrogance on his face, but calmly pointed at the saber on Xue Huairang's waist.

"Oh!" A look of anger flashed across his face, Xue Huairang glanced at the tent, and he could vaguely see the figure on the chief seat from behind the tent, and shouted deliberately: "The second prince is so arrogant, when the old man met you Zhuang Zong and Jin Zu both allow weapons to be near their bodies!"

Li Chongju still looked honest, and smiled at Xue Huairang: "Please envoy Xue to untie the weapon, and I will keep it for you in person, so that it will not be contaminated with dust."

With a cold face, Xue Huairang clenched his fists until his joints creaked, staring at Li Chongju, almost spraying all the evil spirit accumulated in his life at him: "Do you really think I'm a veteran?"

"Don't dare. Please let the king untie the weapon. If the last general does it himself, it would be ugly!" Li Chongju grinned.

Seeing the innocent young man baring his fangs, Xue Huai made his face twitch, took a step back, untied the knife from his waist, and said angrily: "Today, I really learned a lot! What taboos do I have to see your Highness? "

"Only you can enter the account." Li Chongju followed the words.

"You!" Pointing at Li Chongju, he pushed the knife and sheath to his chest forcefully: "I will keep it for the old man. If there is a speck of dust on it, I will ask you!"

This guy is quite powerful, he was not aware of it for a while, and almost pushed Li Chongju down.Stiff, breathless, blushing.

Liu Chengyou noticed the movement outside the tent early in the morning, and he didn't pretend to do anything else, just quietly looked at Xue Huairang who walked in.

"Meet the second prince! Please forgive me for being far away."

Similarly, Xue Huairang also stared at Liu Chengyou, raised his neck, and casually arched his hands. He glanced at Liu Chengyou from the corner of his eye, without giving his official name, and his tone was particularly aggressive.This person, at this moment, is in a particularly unhappy mood.However, in Liu Chengyou's eyes, he felt that these warlords were so rebellious.

Xue Huairang is domineering, Liu Chengyou is also arrogant at this time, Sima's face is numb, staring at Xue Huairang: "Xue Shijun! Famous is worse than meeting."

Looking at Liu Chengyou, seeing such a yellow-haired boy, Xue Huairang seemed to relax, only thinking that he was praising himself, and replied: "The prestige of His Royal Highness is already like thunder in my commander's ears."

"Xue Huairang, a native of Taiyuan, whose ancestor was Northwest Hu, was young and brave. He was aggressive by nature. He defected to Zhuang Zong's command. Governor of the state. At the end of the Kaiyun period, he followed Fu Yanqing and Du Chongwei to resist the Khitan with the horse army platoon envoy and the vanguard commander. Tianfu 12 years, killed the Liao general in Mingzhou, and sent a letter to our court."

Without any waves in his voice, Liu Chengyou simply narrated Xue Huairang's resume, which made Xue Huairang a little confused.Frowning, he looked at Liu Chengyou suspiciously: "Your Highness, what does this mean?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that after a lifetime of fighting and ruling several states, there is no progress." Liu Chengyou said.

Liu Chengyou was a little rude, Xue Huairang felt that something was wrong, this kid was not just arrogance, it seemed that some of the visitors were not kind.Suspicious eyes flew to Liu Chengyou, Xue Huairang asked with a serious face: "What do you mean, let's be blunt, why bother to humiliate the veteran by saying these twists and turns?"

Obviously, Xue Huairang really didn't have much fear of Liu Chengyou.

"Master Neiqiu, was appointed by Shijun Xue?" Seeing this, Liu Chengyou asked.

"Yes!" Xue Huairang replied simply: "So what?"

"This person has been in office for more than a month. How do you think he is doing as the county magistrate?"

"Of course the people I use are not bad!" Xue Huairang said subconsciously, as if thinking of the money and rations handed in by Chief Neiqiu.

This time it was Liu Chengyou's turn to frown, and he wondered if Xue Huairang was really crazy.He took a deep breath: "I stayed in Neiqiu last night, and I have already dismissed him, so I will come south by car."

Hearing Liu Chengyou's words, Xue Huairang's expression changed: "This is the old man's subordinate, an official under the Anguo Army's Jiedu. His Highness appoints and removes the prisoner without knowing it. Isn't that a little overreaching!"

"Gu, by the order of my father, I am still in charge of the military administration of Hebei Daozhou." Liu Chengyou immediately replied.

Originally, he wanted to talk to Xue Huairang again about the matter of Neiqiu county magistrate, but seeing Xue Huairang's performance, Liu Chengyou suddenly lost interest. Can you be found guilty?"

Seeing Liu Chengyou's attack, Xue Huairang replied calmly: "What's wrong with me?"

"Excessive solicitation, exploitation and extortion, private punishment, tyranny of the people, connivance of subordinates, bullying of good people, and in the territory of Xingzhou, all industries have been shattered, and complaints are rife. Aren't these crimes?" Liu Chengyou said coldly.

"Are these counted as crimes?" Xue Huairang smiled directly and asked back.

Liu Chengyou was stunned now.This question left him speechless.

Xue Huairang took the time to calm down: "Your Highness has put up such a big battle today, is he here to inquire about my crime?"

"Yes, so what?" Liu Chengyou looked at this domineering veteran, a little surprised, he was so arrogant that he didn't have any respect for him as a prince.

It is impossible to say that Xue Huairang is not false at all.It's just that he has always been rebellious, and after decades of life and death, he has also understood many things.If you are good, I am good, everyone is good, then he will naturally restrain himself, but now Liu Chengyou is obviously not kind, and he will not "beg for perfection".

Xue Huairang took a step forward, lowered his head slightly, and stared at Liu Chengyou: "Your Highness, why should I ask this commander a crime? I am a township appointed by the emperor, do you have the right?"

Could it be that this is where your confidence lies, Xue Huairang?
Liu Chengyou smirked inwardly, staring at him without blinking his eyes: "There is a word called "cut first and play later!"

Liu Chengyou's gaze at this time was so cold that even Xue Huairang felt a chill down his back.Looking at Liu Chengyou seriously, probably because the weather was too hot, unconsciously, a little sweat broke out on his body, Xue Huairang finally lost his momentum: "Your Highness, you are joking with me."

"Does Mr. Xue think that such a big battle is just to joke with you?" After Liu Chengyou finished speaking, he waved to the guards in the tent impatiently: "Take it down!"

Seeing Liu Chengyou coming for real, Xue Huairang subconsciously stretched his hand towards his waist, but it was a pity that his waist was empty.Two guards immediately stepped forward and grabbed it. This man was old, but he was really brave, and almost let him break free.The guards around Liu Chengyou were not good people either, they slapped Liu Chengyou twice on his stomach before subduing him.

"Let go of me! I am the Anguo Army Jiedu, appointed by the emperor and ordered by the court! Why should I be taken?" Xue Huai made a look of astonishment appear on his painful face, and then he was full of ferocious anger.

His legs were hit twice again, and he knelt heavily on the ground, only then did Xue Huairang calm down.Looking at such a scene of bullying the elderly, it seems that Liu Chengyou is a villain.

"Why do you want me to be handsome?" Xue Huairang's head was pressed down, but those bull's eyes stared at Liu Chengyou firmly, bursting with anger.

Liu Chengyou got up, walked slowly in front of Xue Huairang, squatted down and looked at him: "Mr. Xue, have you always been so domineering? If the festivals of all states are like this, then it is not incomprehensible that the world cannot be stable. .”

"I counted your sins alone just now. Is it because you are stubborn, or you didn't listen at all?" Liu Chengyou said sarcastically and with a cold expression.

Hearing this, Xue Huairang came to his senses, opened his mouth, and spit out some saliva: "It's ridiculous, you want to take down my town's Jiedu because of this little mistake? What a big man prince, so domineering!"

A stench rushed towards his face, Liu Chengyou shivered and got up, covered his mouth and nose, and looked at the old man with disgust: "In the past, it was because we were too kind to you, which caused the government to abolish and the people to suffer! Evil is hard to get rid of!"

As soon as Liu Chengyou said this, Xue Huairang seemed to understand something, looked at Liu Chengyou, and blurted out: "You, you want to use me to make an example of others?"

Liu Chengyou was a little surprised to see that this domineering veteran turned out to be smart for a while, but his eyes directly answered Xue Huairang.

This time, Xue Huairang couldn't bear it anymore, he struggled hard and roared: "I don't accept it! Dao state envoys in the world, which one is not like this, a bunch of untouchables, I will keep them safe, and they support me, what is wrong with me. In the world, there are people who are ten times more violent than me, why don't you take them? I don't accept it!"

Who taught you to hit the muzzle?
Listening to his remarks, Liu Chengyou suddenly felt a sense of exhaustion, and it probably didn't make sense to reason.Turning to look at Wei Renpu who was sitting low-key aside: "Mr. Wei, did you hear that?"

Wei Renpu showed a bitter expression, but he wasn't too surprised.

"Since you already guessed that I'm going to make an example of others, what's the use of not accepting it?" Liu Chengyou's eyes remained as cold as before.

His expression froze, Xue Huairang gasped for breath, and was already a little flustered: "This commander is a hero who expelled the Khitan and returned to the Han. Your Highness really dares to do such a disgraceful thing in the world?"

I don't know where this guy heard these words, it's just useless.

With his hands in his arms, Liu Chengyou said slowly: "This is too serious! I just plead for the people and act according to the law."

"No, I am the Commander-in-Chief of the emperor, you have no right to kill me! If you kill me, how will you explain to the emperor and the court!" Liu Chengyou's tone became more and more flat, while Xue Huairang became more and more flustered.

Liu Zhiyuan was mentioned again, as if Liu Zhiyuan could really bless him.

"How to explain to my father and the court, don't bother Mr. Xue!" Liu Chengyou replied. The word "my father" has a strong accent.

Feeling depressed, Xue Huairang blushed and even dared to threaten Liu Chengyou: "I still have thousands of soldiers under my command, isn't Your Highness afraid of causing military chaos?"

"Pass the order to Xiang Xun, lead the army to Longgang, take over the guards, control the city, and those who dare to make trouble will be killed without mercy!" In front of Xue Huairang, Liu Chengyou ordered calmly, with a cold tone.

His old face turned pale, and Xue Huairang lost all his energy and energy, and went limp miserably, and then buried his head forcefully: "Your Highness, please forgive me!"

This sudden face change is really surprising.Liu Chengyou thought that he would be tough to the end.

"If Your Highness wants to frighten the world, why not go to Yedu to find Du Chongwei, he is ten times more corrupt and exploitative than me!"

Liu Chengyou blinked violently subconsciously, he didn't care to listen to what he said, and waved his hand: "Pull him down first, look!"

After Xue Huairang was taken down yelling, Liu Chengyou paced around in the tent for a long time, and said with emotion: "This question is right, I have a deeper understanding of the arrogance of these warriors."

Hearing this, Wei Renpu persuaded him: "Although there are many people like Xue Huairang, they are not all like that. There are also many people who are handsome in the world, known for their character and intelligence."

"for example?"

"Fu Yanqing, Gao Xingzhou, An Shenqi" Wei Renpu said a series of names, and they were all familiar people.

However, Liu Chengyou didn't take it too seriously. These famous generals and veteran ministers in the court are probably full of black materials behind the scenes.In this world, good people can't get ahead.Of course, those people above have a better reputation.

"Your Highness, are you really planning to kill Xue Huairang?" After Liu Chengyou thought for a while, Wei Renpu couldn't help but speak.

Raising his hand to stop him, Liu Chengyou said: "I know what you want to say. Killing, I guess you can't kill him. Just now, Xue Huairang mentioned Du Chongwei, maybe it was out of choice, but it reminded me, I have to Be careful!"

PS: I saw a book review, it’s very interesting, share it with those who are still chasing this book: This post-Han is from Shatuo, which is the same as the Manchu Qing Dynasty.The biggest relationship with the Han Dynasty is that it was given the surname Liu by the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.His demise is one of the important symbols of the re-emergence of the Han nation.Now in this article, the rise of the Han nation was put out by this Yoo Seung Woo.From then on, there is no need to wait for Yashan, China is gone, only the history of foreigners like India enslaving local peoples.
