Chapter 332: Lan Yu's Guilty(1/2)
Wang Bi is dead.
He committed suicide at home, blood splattered three feet away, extremely miserable!
The capital was shocked now, and it was countless times more violent than usual... Old Zhu killed many nobles, and Wang Bi was just a marquis of Dingyuan, even the Duke of the Kingdom, so why was he so sad and angry?
Could it be that he is more influential than Li Shanchang and Fu Youde? More important?
If you want to find out the reason, you might as well take a look at Wang Bi's resume.
Wang Bi was also from Fengyang, but he was not the first group to join Zhu Yuanzhang. In the chaotic times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Bi first built a village to protect himself. Because of his good martial arts, he gradually gained a reputation.
Later, he led his fellow villagers to join Zhu Yuanzhang.
It is because of this time difference that Wang Bi is one step behind others everywhere.
When he arrived at Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates, he first served as the guard to protect Lao Zhu's safety.
Later, he worked under Chang Yuchun.
During the battle with Zhang Shicheng, Wang Bi showed his extraordinary features for the first time. He led his troops to fight Zhang Shicheng's elite, and killed Zhang Shicheng back.
Chang Yuchun took the opportunity to chase and kill Zhang Shicheng fell into the pool and almost lost his life.
Wang Bi became famous in one battle, and then followed Xu Da's Northern Expedition and restored Dadu. In just one year, he recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that had not been brought back for hundreds of years in the Song Dynasty.
Wang Bi made many contributions in the army. Afterwards, he followed Lan Yu, Tang He, Fu Youde, Mu Ying, Feng Sheng and others to go on a constant battle, almost without any slaughter.
From the grassland in the north to the south of the colorful clouds, Wang Bi killed everyone.
Although he did not lead the troops alone, his contributions were extraordinary every time. In the 17th year of Hongwu, he was finally granted the title of Marquis of Dingyuan.
It seems irrelevant that Wang Bi was one of the nobles in Huaixi who was awarded the title very late.
But God is unwilling to bury a famous general. The great responsibility comes and the carp turns into a dragon!
In the 20th year of Hongwu, Wang Bi followed Lan Yu north, first defeated Nahachu, and then chased him to the sea of fishing.
In the battle, the Northern Yuan Emperor was captured alive and the jade seal was passed back.
This battle allowed Wang Bi to reach the peak of his life.
Some people even say that Wang Bi should be granted the title of Duke in terms of merit and reward.
In fact, according to the contribution of Hunyuerhai, two dukes, Lan Yu and Wang Bi, were all included, but Wang Bi was very humble and did not dare to go along with Lan Yu, so he only received some rewards.
After returning to Beijing, Wang Bi was shocked by the low-keyness. He was always responsible for training troops and had almost no movement.
Afterwards, Lan Yu went to Fengyang, and Wang Bi simply stopped training troops. He was arranged to take charge of the military storage warehouse. Obviously, Wang Bi also had the intention to retreat.
As a veteran on the battlefield, Wang Bi is so glorious that he is invincible on the battlefield. But as an official, Wang Bi is so low-key and honest that it makes people feel distressed. If he was willing to fight, he might have been granted the title of Duke.
Such an honest man ended in the most tragic way and committed suicide at home.
Can you avoid entering the city from shock?
Everyone was asking why Wang Bi died?
Not only the capital city, but the news reached Fengyang, Lan Yu, who had been staying in the door, was furious!
"Wang Bi! You fool!"
Without saying a word, Lan Yu got on his horse and rushed out of the mansion. He wanted to enter Beijing and seek justice for Wang Bi!
Just when Lan Yu beat the horse Rufei and arrived at the city gate, three people suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
"Lan Yu, are you crazy?" The person who asked was Feng Sheng, Duke of Song!
The old man angrily scolded: "We are ordered to live in Fengyang. Without the emperor's will, how can we enter the capital easily?"
Next to Feng Sheng, the chubby Duke of Xinguo Tang He also said in a hoarse voice: "That's right, Lan Yu, don't act irritating."
As for the third one, Lan Yu's nephew, Chang Mao, Duke of Zheng.
"uncle……"
He was about to speak, but Lan Yu slapped her backhand.
"Baby, you dare to teach me a lesson!" Lan Yu seemed crazy and said angrily with red eyes: "Wang Bi, Wang Bi, Dingyuan Hou Wang Bi! He is dead! He is dying! You two old people know Wang Bi's character! Why did he die? What kind of things did he do that harm the world?"
Lan Yu snorted angrily: "Even Wang Bi is dead, is there any law of the Heavenly Li King?"
Lan Yu felt like she was about to explode.
In the past, he followed Liu Chun's advice and felt that he would retreat bravely.
But now, Lan Yu doesn’t want to retreat anymore, and he can’t retreat either!
Wang Bi is dead, he doesn’t even protect Wang Bi. Does he still have the face to live?
"I tell you, who dares to stop me, Lan Yu, fights with him!"
Chang Mao was kicked by Lan Yu. As for Duke Song Feng Sheng and Duke Xin Tang He, both of them were gray-haired and did not have Lan Yu's opponents!
Facing the fierce Lan Yu, the two old men looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"Forget it... At this age, you'll be crazy!"
Feng Sheng coughed and said, "Duke Liang, don't be impulsive. After I write a letter, let us four major kings set off together!"
"What?" Lan Yu was shocked, "You dare to go to Beijing with me? I heard it right?"
Tang He didn't like to listen, "Who is the only hero in the Ming Dynasty? Wang Bi has also served as a deputy to me, and he can't die without understanding! I want to stand up for him!"
Lan Yu was really stupid, "Duke Xinguo, this is not a trivial matter. If you investigate and involve important people, you are so old that there is no need to follow the muddy waters!"
"snort!"
Tang He snorted hard, "You are not affectionate and righteous, but reckless! If you go to Beijing alone, you are seeking death! We are with you, everyone is tied together, and no one can dare to kill four dukes at once!"
Lan Yu said that she was not moved was fake, and her heart was so warm.
The so-called Huaixi nobles, the same spirit and branches are all reflected at this time.
Lan Yu put away his anger and said with a smile: "That Duke Xin, aren't you afraid of being implicated in the future?"
Tang He snorted: "I'm afraid it's useless! My old bones may die tomorrow, and the account will not be settled on me!"
While they were talking, Feng Sheng had already written a letter, which was handed over to the Jinyiwei.
"We will leave now. The Jinyiwei will send the news to the palace before us. After His Majesty's decree, we will enter the capital again. If His Majesty's decree is not allowed, you must not enter the capital, do you understand?"
He is worthy of being an old man, Feng Sheng is too clever.
Their four great kings came out together, of course, to express their anger.
However, if anger is inappropriate, it becomes domineering and challenging the emperor.
So, I first sent a letter to Beijing so that Lao Zhu knew that they had no other intentions, just for the case of Wang Bi. Moreover, the Jinyiwei was in charge of Liu Chun, so how to grasp the heat here is better than them!
What else can Lan Yu say, only admiration!
Four people were on the road, and all kinds of news kept coming.
Gradually, the cause of Wang Bi's death was also spread.
Before Wang Bi committed suicide, he left a desperate letter.
Wang Bi mentioned that he was in charge of the military storage warehouse, and there was a serious mistake in the storage of grain in the warehouse, which was to blame. As a warrior, he was willing to bear all the blame.
Moreover, he was over fifty years old and did not want to be humiliated by a minor official with a sword and pen. Therefore, he imitated Li Guang, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, committed suicide and rewarded His Majesty with his life for his gratitude for knowing his favor!
Wang Bi also said that he would not have any kindness. If the emperor would be kind, he would allow his family to return to his hometown to farm and be an ordinary citizen, and never become an official again.
"Wang Bi was forced to death!"
Lan Yu and Wang Bi have been fighting for the longest time and know the personality of this subordinate best.
"Wang Bi cannot embezzle the grain from the military storage warehouse. He is not as tempted as a person, even if Kingsoft is placed in front of him."
Tang He nodded, "You are right, but Wang Bi may not be unaware of it!"
Feng Sheng also said: "Yes, he compared himself to Li Guang. Li Guang was lost and missed the military opportunity. Although it was an unintentional mistake, he did make a mistake, so he committed suicide. According to what Wang Bi said, he should know the whole story, but he couldn't speak or tell the truth, so he could only commit suicide!"
Tang He frowned, and the flesh on the old man's face kept twitching.
"That... Lan Yu, I think this is the case. Why don't we go back to Fengyang? This is a bit big!"
Not a bit big!
It's surprisingly big!
Lan Yu is not stupid either. Can Wang Bi be helpless and die. Is this still young?
Wang Bi couldn't bear it, and he might not be able to do it even if he was Lan Yu!
Thinking of this, Lan Yu held the war horse and clasped his fists at the two old dukes and Chang Mao.
"It's time to go back to Fengyang, whether to die or live, I, Lan Yu, have fought! In any case, I want to seek justice for Wang Bi and can't let him die inexplicably!"
After Lan Yu finished speaking, the first person who refused to agree was Chang Mao!
"Uncle, no matter what you think, the case of the prince was the Dengwen Drum I beat, and the King of Jin that I asked His Majesty to arrest... I was the one who had turned around from the gates of hell... If this time I really implicated..." Chang Mao paused, "I will fight them to the death!"
Obviously, Chang Mao realized something.
To be continued...
