I am the carpenter king

Chapter 252 Human ambition

It is impossible for a person's life to be smooth and smooth, but when reciting words, people will feel very bad, but Xu Xianchun's mood now is very complicated.He spent the first half of his life reciting words. He didn't expect that in middle age, he would finally go smoothly, but he suddenly fell back from heaven to hell, which can be described as ups and downs.

Sitting under the pass of the city wall, smelling the burnt smell around, Xu Xianchun's face was neither happy nor sad, with an indifferent look.Thinking back on his first half of life, Xu Xianchun sighed softly, he didn't understand it very well when he was young.At that time, I thought that my family was a dignitary, and even if I didn't work hard, I would have a good future in the future.

When I gradually grew up, I finally gradually realized that my identity is very embarrassing, and being the grandpa of the son-in-law is also very embarrassing.As a veteran nobleman of the dynasty, he respectfully respects all prosperous families like himself.The civil officials of the current dynasty treat people like themselves like dung and disdain to be with them.Most of the military generals are hereditary nobles, and they look down on people like themselves, as embarrassing as their status is.

Smiling lightly, he looked up at the dark sky, Xu Xianchun's eyes were unusually determined, and the flames of his body kept burning.After knowing where he was, Xu Xianchun told himself that he must change everything.I want to be a master, and let all those who look down on me submit to my feet.

But after more than 30 years, Xu Xianchun still failed to achieve anything, and relied on his grandmother's help to get into the frugal job of Jinyiwei.At the beginning, I also wanted to make a big splash, but after years of being excluded in Jinyiwei, Xu Xianchun understood that it was really difficult for him to do something without a foundation and connections.

Until he met that person, the person sitting on the Dragon Court, Xu Xianchun knew that his chance had come.The Liaodong case worked hard on its own.I hope to be recognized by that person, all my hopes for so many years should be on him.In order to gain power, even if he cooperates with the devil, he is willing, even if he steps on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, he must become a master of others.

As long as I can do it, my son will not receive that kind of blank stare.My descendants will no longer be human with their heads down, and even if they die in the end, they will not regret it.

Finally, after countless deaths, he himself was promoted, and Jin Yiwei Tongzhi was ordered to mention Nanzhen Fusi.At this moment, I have become one of the few powerful figures in Jinyiwei, but I am still not reconciled, and I have to stand up.

Looking at the corpse not far away and listening to the shouts around him, Xu Xianchun told himself in his heart.I must live on.For my own ideals, for my ambitions, and to trample those people under my feet, I must live on!

Gently picked up the Xiuchun knife on one side, looking at the blood on it, Xu Xianchun's gaze became more and more determined.Standing up slowly, slowly supporting the city wall, Xu Xianchun had a determined face.

This is a small city.It is neither very tall nor very thick, and there are people under the city.All people.These people wore different clothes, but each had a red turban on his head, and all carried weapons in their hands.

"My lord, get out of here quickly! There are not many people in the city, and it is still possible to bring people to break through. I have prepared twenty horses. My lord, go first!" A man in a patrol uniform walked over quickly. , wiped the blood from his face, and said out of breath.

He smiled calmly, and straightened the knife in his hand, Xu Xianchun said with a smile: "I am an imperial envoy sent by the emperor. At this time, I have abandoned the city and fled. How can I go to see the emperor. Besides, I am the emperor Pro-army, whenever there is a war, you should charge forward, how can you leave at this time. Liu Xunjian, don't say such things in the future."

Listening to Xu Xianchun's words, Liu Xunjian seemed to think that he had heard wrongly. When did Jin Yiwei have so much backbone?Maybe this Shangguan is different!Looking at Xu Xianchun carefully, seeing that Xu Xianchun didn't seem to be joking, Liu Xunjian nodded quite seriously.

Standing behind Xu Xianchun, Liu Xunjian slowly recalled the day this person came, which was a very normal day.However, this Jinyiwei Tongzhi brought more than 100 people to Changlin where he was stationed, a place that is not even a county seat.

For most of these people with injuries, Liu Xunjian did not dare to neglect at all, after all, the leader was not only Jin Yiwei Tongzhi, but also an imperial envoy ordered by King Kouxian.Liu Xunjian hadn't digested the news yet, but the news brought by these people shocked Liu Xunjian.

A rebellion broke out in Shandong, and Wenxiangmen rebelled.Of course, Liu Xunjian of the Wenxiangmen has heard of this for a long time, but he didn't pay attention to it. He always thought that it was just a Buddhist organization, and at worst it was just an organization that cheated money.No matter what, Liu Xunjian never thought that Wenxiangmen would be a branch of the White Lotus Sect, and he had been carefully preparing for 20 years for the purpose of rebellion.

Before he had time to think too much, Liu Xunjian closed the city gate immediately, and organized people to prepare to defend the city.If Xu Xianchun wasn't here, Liu Xunjian might have run away.There are only five hundred officers and troops in Linchang, and many of them have gone through the back door through their connections. There are many old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, and there are less than three hundred soldiers capable of fighting.Facing the more than 3000 traitors who became traitors, it was simply courting death.

But Xu Xianchun didn't retreat, and Liu Xunjian didn't dare to say anything, even if he killed Xu Xianchun.Liu Xunjian has been in Shandong for many years. Although he has never left this acre of land, he knows in his heart that these traitors are just looking for death.Now that I am running away, I will find some reason why the thieves are powerful in the future, and I will not lose my official position as a gift giver. After all, no one will have trouble with my inspection, and there are people above me.

If Xu Xianchun was killed, it would be tantamount to betrayal. I don't even want to be a thief, so why would I do such a stupid thing.Liu Xunjian also thought about killing Xu Xianchun and blaming the rebels, but he dismissed the idea without thinking about it.It's hard to say whether these people in my hands can beat Xu Xianchun's people. Once the matter is revealed, I am afraid that I will be ransacked and beheaded.

Looking at the steadfast Xu Xianchun, Liu Xunjian suddenly had another idea. People like himself have been here for two days. If they can persist until the reinforcements arrive, it will be a great achievement for him.I have been in this ninth-rank position for so many years, spent a lot of money, and dredged up a lot of relationships, but I still failed to get promoted.Liu Xunjian believes that with this credit, he will definitely be able to make further progress.

Looking back at Xunjian Liu, Xu Xianchun suddenly had an idea of ​​his own, pondered for a while and said: "Xunjian Liu, this officer came to Shandong this time under the orders of the emperor, I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, but the emperor Shengming, I believe that reinforcements will come soon. Liu Xunjian defended the isolated city this time, and led five hundred battalions to fight bloody battles. He would rather die than surrender. He is worthy of being a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. After this incident is over, I will decide I will ask the imperial court for your credit!"

Hearing Xu Xianchun's words, Liu Xunjian was taken aback for a moment, and then he was ecstatic. He clasped his fists at Xu Xianchun, and said loudly: "Thanks to the promotion of the humble adults, Liu Huayu will be driven by the adults in the future!"

Nodding his head in satisfaction, he really saw the right person, this patrol inspector Liu is indeed a delicate person.But this alone is obviously not enough. After thinking about it with his head down, Liu Xunjian said with a smile: "Liu Xunjian, you are indeed a member of our Jinyiwei. It is not easy to be a spy for so many years! But it's nothing, you I have recorded your credit, and when I return to the capital, I will naturally promote you!"

Liu Xunjian was stunned on the spot, what did he say, when he saw Xu Xianchun's eyes, Liu Xunjian was stunned.Regardless of the sudden awakening, this is not the time for him to be in a daze, he lifted up his clothes and knelt down on the ground, and said loudly: "I will obey the teachings of adults!"

Nodding in satisfaction again, Xu Xianchun felt that this person was interesting and thoughtful, but he didn't know how to do things.If the method is not bad, then you can cultivate it well.

Gently waving his hand, Xu Xianchun said calmly: "Get up! Look at the rebels below the city, they are about to attack again!" Looking at the city, Xu Xianchun said solemnly.

Also coming to the city wall, Liu Xunjian's face is not very good-looking, the joy just now is gone, replaced by a look of worry.Now that I have a good future, I naturally have to work hard for it. As long as I can make it through, I will be able to flourish!

Facing Xu Xianchun, Liu Xunjian clasped his fists, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, I will select some young men and let them come to the city wall to help defend the city. Naturally, my lord will not retreat, and I will stick to this place with my lord!"

After listening to Liu Xunjian's words, Xu Xianchun nodded slowly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.I can't retreat no matter what, if I leave now, it must be a stain on myself, a stain that can't be washed away.If Emperor Tianqi knew that he ran away like this, even if he was not beheaded, he would have no hope of advancing in the future.

There are two possibilities for guarding here. The first is that the city is breached, and you will be dead.However, whether it is his descendants or the Xu family, they will all be rewarded by the imperial court.The second is to stick to it until the reinforcements arrive. At that time, one great achievement will definitely become a step forward for him.

After much thought, Xu Xianchun still decided to take a gamble. There are not many good opportunities in life, and now that he has such an opportunity, he must take a chance.

Looking at the rebels who were busy in the city, Xu Xianchun suddenly felt sympathetic to them. Many of these people were ordinary people.Every day, the sun rises and the sun sets and rests. Although life is difficult, it is peaceful and joyful.Now that people from Wenxiangmen have tricked them into coming here, I am afraid that many people will die here. (To be continued..)
