v6 Chapter 4： First in the king

When Liu Mingming and others were detained, he was still crying for An An's life.

Unfortunately, Zhang Wence did not hear the voice of Wang An again. Obviously, this generation of wise kings who did not deliberately show coercion did not intend to open up to him because Liu is well-known as an old man in Wangfu.

Fortunately, Zhang Wence himself was not among the detained officials. He and another magistrate were still lying on the ground, and the soldiers did not do anything to them when they entered.

However, whether it was another county magistrate who had to turn grey, or Zhang Wence himself, at this time no less sweat was dripping on his face than Liu Mingming and others.

At this moment, they didn't even have the courage to look up. They could only stare at the floor that had been soaked with sweat.

"Well, you two get up."

An Wang's voice came again, clear in the ear, and there was a touch of intimacy beyond the stability. Although it was still thin, it was enough to let Zhang Wence's two people breathe a sigh of relief. At least, this shows that King An did not mean to drag them out and behead.

Zhang Wence and the old magistrate stood up and stood upright. King An said that if they got up, but they didn't let them sit, they wouldn't dare to move.

"Zhang County Decree, Qian County Decree ... You two don't have to be restless. Since the solitary king didn't tell someone to drag you down, now I won't take you suddenly. The two just raised their heads, Let the lone king look at what His Majesty the Official is like. "

There seemed to be a little smile in Wang An's voice, which made Zhang Wence and Qianxian Ling relax a lot.

Zhang Wence had never dared to face King An to see how heroic the other party was. Now he raised his head in accordance with King An's order, and finally he could see what kind of handsome God was able to truly control his destiny.

On the three-foot platform—from the bottom of my heart—three feet is not tall—there is a black lacquered desk that is one size larger than a normal book case, with two bases of books stacked on it. The man's upper body is large but not bloated, which is a bit different from the image of Zhang Wence's imagination.

The first purpose is to wear a black royal robe, a pair of unicorns and teeth dancing on the royal robes. The two eyes are lifelike, and they are very attractive. When you look at them, you can't help but feel a sense of fear. The upper body was sitting obliquely, with his right elbow resting on his back, his posture seemed a little unruly, relaxed, and relaxed.

As the line of sight moved, Zhang Wence finally saw the face of An Wang for the first time. He couldn't hold back the excitement of his heart and couldn't help but hold his breath. It was a resolute face, with a deep eyebrow and deep eyes, like a thunderbolt, giving people a sense of impact full of wisdom and thunderous power.

The first time he touched those eyes, Zhang Wence failed to control himself and couldn't help shaking his shoulders.

The king does not have a fixed face, and beauty and ugliness will not affect the achievement of the great cause, but if the king has a pair of different eyes, Zhang Wence must be able to be determined, that is the eyes in front of him!

Zhang Wence had a moment of disrespect and rudeness, but soon returned to his senses, and quickly lowered his head.

Zhang Wence felt that Wang An's eyes fell on himself.

An Wang said in a faint, mastery of all things: "Zhang Wence, you have served as Weixian County Magistrate for half a year, and have achieved great results. The whole Weizhou counts as your Weixian's" New Deal ". Properly, it has reached the standard of satisfying the solitary king. Tsing Yi Yemen reported that most of the people in Wei County praised your good name, which shows that your errand is indeed well done. "

Zhang Wence quickly said: "Xiaguan didn't dare to be praised by His Highness, and Xiaguan's heart ... was ashamed."

He saw An Wang smiled, and it was not surprising that he was ashamed of him, but he didn't care much. "The lone king knows what you feel guilty. When Liu Ming runs across Weizhou, you yield to his power. There are many money offerings every month. Just now, Wang Gu hoped that when you tell the truth about the political situation in Weizhou, you did not stand up. "

Zhang Wence was secretly ashamed, he did think so.

Being in the officialdom and bribing an officer is a major crime everywhere.

When Zhang Wence was in charge of Weixian County, because of the wealth of Weixian County, the canal was very rich, and Liu Mingming set a standard for his monthly financial account. Zhang Wence gave Liu Ming a lot of wealth. Of course, Liu Ming will not forget him. Whether for the purpose of pulling him into the water or soothing him, he will not lose all his interests.

Therefore, in the past six months, Zhang Wence also swelled his pockets.

According to his conscience, Zhang Wence felt that he was helpless on the one hand, but on the other hand he had secretly ecstatically. No one will refuse to swell their pockets and live a better life. They can eat good meat if they want to eat good meat, drink good wine if they want to drink good wine, and be beautiful when they want to sleep.

Zhang Wence is not a sage, he also likes these, and he did.

If he was a sage, he would not have stood up when King Cai Anzhou asked Zheng Weizhou.

It's just that Liu Ming is different. When he improved his life, he didn't forget to make the people live better. And most of the time, he puts the people in a place where they live and work in peace, and puts them in front of personal enjoyment. This is also the premise that he can feel a little at ease when drinking and eating meat.

If he had forgotten the moral integrity of Confucian students, he would not be determined to spend a lot of effort to rectify Weixian's defense in the face of the threat of Yicheng Army.

But only by Zhang Wence bribing Shangguan and filling his own pockets, King An could jail him, and he had no room to argue at all.

Therefore, even if An Wang is not seductive at the moment, Zhang Wence also feels hesitant.

However, King An did not ask him for his sin, but instead used a magnanimous and wise voice: "You have indeed bribed Liu Ming a lot of money in the past six months, and you have also shared a lot of benefits. If only by this You really should go to jail. "

"However, the lone king is not just looking at people with one eye. You ca n’t turn a blind eye to your achievements in Weizhou. The life of the people in Weizhou is really much better because of you. Especially when facing the threat of the Yicheng Army, You can resolutely rectify the defense of Weixian County, at the cost of offending the nobles and wicked squires, so that the lone king can see what a Confucian scholar should do. "

Hearing these words, Zhang Wence was like a cloud on the whole person. He could not speak easily, and his throat was a little itchy. When rectifying Weixian's military defense, he actually received a lot of squires and tyrants. Almost killed by Liu Mingming, I still feel wronged.

Now that these actions have been acknowledged by King An, Zhang Wence has a feeling of conscience right in front of him.

King An is indeed wise and wise, unlike those who are full of righteousness and morals, but do not know the difficulty of doing practical things, and the clear stream of being able to be an official, they know that Dayi slams the bureaucracy. Being able to do business under such a king is a rare blessing.

However, Wang An's remarks made Zhang Wence's heart tremble.

Wang An's voice was two minutes cold, revealing some dissatisfaction and a little disappointment, and heard Zhang Wence ashamed. "The lone king thought that you could always stick to the moral bottom line of Confucian scholars, and you would not forget the Confucian students' original pursuit. When Wang Guzheng asked Zhengzhou, you did n’t even stand up and tell the truth to the King Wang, even if you were honest. Zhang Wence, you know, King Wang had high hopes for you, hoping that you could become a role model for local officials? What you said and done today really disappointed and saddened the lone king! "

"His Royal Highness!" Zhang Wence bowed to the ground suddenly. When he heard the words "high hope", "example", "disappointment", and "grief", he could no longer control his emotions and could not help crying.

He knew that he missed the most important opportunity to rewrite his destiny and future.

The king who dominates dozens of states in nine towns can know his district and county decrees, and can have high hopes for his county decrees. What a rare thing, and how glorious he is, but he has failed the other side.

He also lived up to his Confucian ethics, lived up to his country's aspirations, and lived up to his father's last-minute teachings—for a moment, Zhang Wence was ashamed and complacent as he is now.

He regretted it, and he blamed himself. He knew that he had made the wrong choice, and should not give up his heart and go with Liu Mingming.

He had never felt so remorse and self-blame.

But there is no regret medicine in the world.

Just when Zhang Wence felt that the sky had fallen, King An got up from the main seat, bypassed the crime table, stepped down, and came to his presence, supporting him in his remorse and sorrow. Arms.

"His Royal Highness An?" Zhang Wence looked up in surprise, at a loss.

How can a king reach out to help a district or county magistrate?

And it's not virtual help!

Since ancient times, there has been no doctor, no courtesy, and this society has different esteem and rank.

But at this moment, a wise and wise king came to help him, a guilty county official who had Confucian moral standards?

Zhang Wence saw An An's complex sigh, and those deep, wise, hidden thunder eyes stared at him with some expectation, "It's not easy to be an official, how easy is it for the king? The solitary king conquers the four sides, Dominates dozens of states in Nine Towns, and enjoys the night at night. The difficulty is no less than you. The wish of the lone king is nothing else. I just hope that people with lofty ideals can work together and go forward with the lone king. The world will help Tang's community to save the times. "

"Kunxing, the lone king now asks you, would you be willing to fight the hardships and stand side by side with the lone king for the Tang Dynasty?"

Zhang Wence was there and almost thought he heard it wrong.

At this time, An Wang didn't even dislike him, and was willing to give him a chance to reform?

"His Highness, King An!" Zhang Wence bowed to the ground again, and Xi Si was flowing, his heart was surging, "Wen Ce is willing to die for His Highness, to lead His Horse to fall, only to repay his own sin!"

At this moment, Zhang Wence vowed secretly that even if he died on the battlefield and buried yellow sand for King An, he would have no complaints.

Zhang Wence felt the powerful arms and lifted him up again.

Zhang Wence couldn't describe his feelings or even words. He could only look at the majestic An An in front of him with the eyes of the dead as a confidant.

King An's hand rested heavily on his shoulder.

At that moment, I wonder if it was an illusion. Zhang Wence felt that King An had laid a river and mountains on his shoulder.

If it weren't for the mountains, why would he feel that this button was so heavy?

He watched King An walk back to the main seat, turned around and stood with his hands, staring at him with a gaze, and yelled, "Zhang Wence, the lone king wants you to be a stabbing history of Weizhou, and to lead the military and political affairs of Weizhou. You may wish to shoulder this burden Then, worry for the lone king? "

Zhang Wence was shocked.

His gaze fluttered for a while, as if the sun had set in front of him.

He did not hesitate to worship, and replied in the most sacred and powerful voice: "If you can share your sorrow for His Royal Highness, Wen Ce will never regret it even though he is dead!"

At that moment, he understood that it was not the sun that fell before him, but his original heart and ambition.

Because of the king in front of him, he can pick up again and have the opportunity to shine brightly, the scholar's ambition and scholarship!
