These two articles by Luo Binwang have caused Zhou Ming to suffer a lot, but how these two articles passed the review and engraved and printed appeared in the "Zihua Collection of Essays" published by Zihua Bookstore, that is not a problem with Luo Binwang.

It was inside Zihua Bookstore that there was an insider!

Because as early as the beginning of Zihua Bookstore, Zhou Ming formulated three regulations on not publishing, namely: those involved in pornography and gangs will not publish, those involved in officials and politics will not publish, and those involved in national policies will not publish.

The purpose of formulating these "three no publications" is to avoid touching the sensitive and fragile nerves of the ruling class, to regard Zihua Bookstore as an obstacle, and to pull it out quickly.

This is why Zihua Bookstore has been standing firm for twenty years since its establishment and its influence has continued to expand. This bookstore and that bookstore have not lasted for a long time and have fallen into countless reasons.

But this time, the insider in Zihua Bookstore seriously violated these three regulations, and even cheated him as the "boss"!

Zhou Ming was also a little puzzled: these insiders joined forces with Luo Binwang to offend Wu Mei to death, wouldn’t they be afraid of raiding their homes and exterminating their clans?

However, Zhou Ming can't control the life and death of these insiders. Now he is the worst! He is most likely to be the first to lose his head!

Fortunately, during the half month when the prison was released from visiting the prison, Zhou Ming made some preparations. The two revolver pistols were secretly put in his pocket and were not taken away by the jailer (mainly because these two pistols were dismantled into parts and brought into the cell one by one, the jailer didn't know what it was for. In addition, the prison cell was built with fine iron, and ordinary people could not escape if they had wings. Before, Zhou Ming did not bring these two pistols into the palace, but the palace search was tight. He had to search three times each time he entered the palace, and he could not carry metal items).

In addition, not far from the prison, Zhou Ming also deployed a team of elite Tian family soldiers with 200 people, all equipped with bolt-action hand-pulled back-loading guns and revolvers. With just one order, he could enter the prison and rescue him.

But Zhou Ming was not sure about the timing of the launch. Now he has been transferred to a more strict death row. The news cannot be spread for a while, and he has another injury on his butt. He can only wait for the opportunity to observe...

Zhou Ming waited for three days and had no idea that it was already in full swing outside.

In Luo Binwang's "Edict on Wu", a nonsense sentence "The demon queen Wu Mei imprisoned famous scholars, tortured and forced the "Founder of Female Power" to correct his reputation" not only brought great trouble to Zhou Ming, but also brought great passiveness to Wu Mei.

Because this sentence in the manifesto is to some extent very close to the facts, Zhou Ming was indeed tortured by a stick and was imprisoned and imprisoned. He did not appear in public for more than half a month. He had to do it by writing "Female Power Fu". He just wanted to save his life from the demon queen Wu Mei and survive.

People also ask themselves: If they were themselves, could they persevere in the midst of a variety of tortures and torture and save a life? Tian Zihua could not bear it, lost some integrity, and wrote an article against his will, which was reasonable. Mr. Zihua was also a human being, not a god who was invulnerable and omnipotent.

As a result, in just three days, public opinion had a huge reversal, and countless readers and fans of Mr. Zihua created a sound and noise that even the ruling class felt scared.

The situation on the first day was like this:

"Mr. Zihua, I blame you wrongly! It turns out that you have no choice!"

"Mr. Zihua, are you really in that prison now, suffering all the hardships and life and death, and your life and death are all based on the poisonous poster's mood for a while?"

"So that's it, so that's it! Mr. Zihua was forced to do something against his will!"

"Save Mr. Zihua! The demon queen Wu Mei can kill anyone you want, but you will never be allowed to kill Mr. Zihua!"

The next day, people ran around and told each other, connected each other overnight, thought about methods and countermeasures, and tried their best to rescue Mr. Zihua.

Some people have a very extreme idea. They need to prepare swords and weapons, and directly kill into prison and rescue Mr. Zihua; some people advocate a joint letter, asking Wu Mei to release Zihua! Ten thousand people sign together and 100,000 people shout together, but they don’t believe that the demon queen Wu Mei will not let him go!

But there are too many opinions and it is difficult to unify. The scholar rebelled for ten years. As these discussions and refutations were getting more and more intense, a young scholar named Li Yuanfang slapped the table and said, "Don't argue anymore. I, Yuanfang, will kneel in front of the Daming Palace now, kneel down and die in front of the demon without eating, drinking, and saying nothing. If she still wants to kill Mr. Zihua, first step over my body!"

"Brother Yuanfang said it well! I'll go and kneel down to see if the demon queen dares to kill us!"

"I'll go too! If Mr. Zihua can be rescued, just a head will fall off, so what if it falls?"

"Go together! Go together!"

On the third day, a scene that shocked everyone in the palace appeared on the wide field at the Xuanwu Gate of the Daming Palace: At the Xuanwu Gate, there were a large number of literati in blue and white hats, with more than ten thousand people. In their hands, these literati were holding a song "Song of Righteousness" written by Mr. Hua, and recited it in unison, which shocked the whole city!

"The heaven and earth have righteous energy, and they are mixed with manifolds. The lower part is the river and the upper part is the sun and the higher part is the sun and the others are called Haoran, and the beautiful and beautiful... Wu Mei, our righteous energy is here! Come and kill us!"

"Wu Mei, can you kill Mr. Zihua and all the scholars in the world?"

"Wu Mei, you have killed countless people over the years, and you have slaughtered all the loyal and righteous men! You don't think that everyone in the world is convinced by you, right? It's ridiculous! There are tens of thousands of heads that don't accept you here, come! Just chop your butcher knife!"

"Mr. Zihua is the most respected famous scholar. I am very lucky to be able to die with him!"

"Lu Wencai from Qingzhou came to help, boss, thank you for your hard work in prison, I wish I could bear it with you!"

"Tang Junming from Qingzhou came to help. Boss, brothers once said, share blessings with each other, and share difficulties with each other! When you encounter this difficulty, brothers will also take responsibility!"

"Yangzhou Wang Ping came to help..."

"Liu Anzhi, Hongzhou..."

"Shuzhou..."

There are more and more scholars from all over the country who come to the imperial capital to support him. These scholars have different accents, from all over the world, and from all over the world. After they heard that Mr. Zihua was wrongly imprisoned, they rushed over from other places and gathered outside Xuanwu Gate to sit quietly, and the number of people increased.

Ten thousand, twenty thousand, three thousand...

In just one day, the number of people sitting in meditation exceeded 30,000. Even in the imperial capital, thousands of female compatriots who admired Mr. Zihua's virtue and talent appeared in the meditation crowd, crying and begging the Queen Mother Wu Mei to let Mr. Zihua go and spare his life.

"Bastard, bastard! Do you really think that the Ai family dare not kill you? Order the General of Jinwu Guard, Zhang Xuan, came to lead the Imperial Guard, to eliminate the rebellion!"

Seeing this scene outside the palace, Wu Mei was furious and was boundlessly murderous, wanting to kill all these protesters and opponents!

"The Queen Mother must not!"

Several officials around Wu Mei hurriedly dissuaded him. One of them, named Di Renjie, knelt down and advised: "Empress Dowager, if you kill these literati and famous scholars today, the world will be rebelled tomorrow!"

"Yes, the Queen Mother, these famous scholars are all future pillars of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If they were killed, the court would have no talent to use and would be able to cut off the literati from all over the world. The Great Zhou Dynasty would not last more than a hundred years! Didn't the Queen Mother hear the lesson of "The Eastern Jin Dynasty was destroyed and the Nine Husses of the Shang Dynasty"?"

The official said that the Eastern Jin Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty in history. This dynasty had a national life of less than a hundred years. Because the emperor of this dynasty, Sima, used a conspiracy to usurp the throne and gained the wrong country. However, in order to block the world's long-lasting mouth, Emperor Wen of Jin killed the famous hermit Kang Shuye, who was famous all over the world, causing the scholars from all over the world to live in seclusion and the talent was cut off. Soon, the Nine Husbands of Shang Dynasty occurred, and the Chinese province was almost destroyed, and the Shang clan was almost destroyed.

"this……"

Wu Mei took a step back with a hint of panic on her face. She knew the story of the demise of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the turbulent merchants of the Nine Husbands. She also knew that the reason for the rapid demise of the Sima family, which was not upright in the country, was that in two words, it was "losing the people's hearts."

The "people's heart" here does not refer to the hearts of the people at the bottom. These people are just ants who only seek to live a life of food and clothing. The true heart of the people refers to the "people" of the sub-class of literati. If the dynasty loses the hearts of this class, it is equivalent to the computer uninstalling the operating system and driving away the steering wheel and engine, and sooner or later it will collapse and perish!

Wu Mei did not take the throne with "virtue", and she had long known that morality had been thrown away by her! If she lost the hearts of the people again, even if she ascended the throne and became the queen, there would be criticism from the world, and no one would serve her and defend this country that had finally usurped.

"The Empress Dowager, Tian Zihua's reputation and talent are far more than Kang Shuye! If he kills him, the scholars of all over the world will rebel! Then join the rebellious army of Xu Jingye and others. Those who are ready to move will seize the opportunity and raise the flag. The enemy countries such as the Turks and Tufan will also invade. The border is in urgent need, and the beacon is everywhere! The Empress Dowager, you can kill anyone, but Tian Zihua alone cannot kill!"

Di Renjie solemnly persuaded again.

"this……"

Wu Mei took two more steps back, her face pale and so depressed that she almost vomited blood!

But it is not possible to not retreat, because as Di Renjie said, she has received many urgent military reports in the past two or three days. First, after Xu Jingye of Yangzhou rose up, his troops were powerful and conquered Changzhou, Runzhou and other cities, approaching Luoyang, which is not far from the emperor; second, Li Chong, the king of Langya, Bozhou, and Li Zhen, the king of Yue of Yuzhou, have also rebelled one after another recently, and many responded!

In addition, there were also urgent reports from the border of Liangzhou: Tufanlun Zanqin and Turkic King Ashinagu jointly sent 500,000 troops to sweep the Western Regions, and were attacking Yumen Pass fiercely. If reinforcements were not arrived, at most, not only the Western Regions would be lost. After the fall of Yumen Pass, Liangzhou, the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty, will face the military fronts of the two countries!

The situation Wu Mei is facing now, which is described in eight words, is "being furious from all sides, internal and external troubles"!

At this critical moment, if you kill the famous scholar Tian Zihua again, it is equivalent to pouring a bottle of gasoline on the fire...

The confidant Lai Junchen also stepped forward and whispered: "Empress Dowager, if you oppose it today... Now, the plan is to pardon Tian Zihua's death penalty and let him be released from prison. It is better to calm the hearts of the people of the world first!"

Wu Mei thought with a gloomy face for a while, and had to grit her teeth and said, "The order is to pardon Tian Zihua for death and release it immediately! I ordered him to come to Xuanwu Gate quickly and clean up this mess!"

"No, Queen Mother!"

...

Half a day later.

In Xuanwu Gate Square, there was cheering like tsunami, but Mr. Zihua, who had disappeared for many days, had a pale face, and was limping while walking, and was supported by others. He appeared in the sight of everyone like a triumphant general, and was welcomed by heroes. Countless people held him in the center, hugged him enthusiastically, shook hands, and some people burst into tears, shouting excitedly: "We won! We won!"

Zhou Ming kept reaching out his hands to press them, asking them not to be too excited, and ordered people to carry big buckets of meat soup for food, have dinner and talk with them, and after expressing gratitude to countless people, they made various promises of reunion. People's emotions finally fell back and slowly left. In the evening, after Zhou Ming and the last group of people left, there were only countless smelly domestic garbage at the empty Xuanwu gate.

...

The next morning.

Zhou Ming, who ordered someone to pack his luggage overnight and was about to take his family back to his hometown in Qingzhou, received an imperial edict.

The imperial edict said: "The Empress Dowager has an order... to be appointed as the general of the Wuwei Army, and lead 50,000 troops from the inner government to send troops to the Western Regions to lift the siege of Yumen Pass! The military situation is urgent, take office immediately and no delays shall be allowed!"

What?

Zhou Ming was shocked when he received this imperial edict.

What exactly did Wu Mei want to do when she suddenly appointed herself as the general? What conspiracy is there?

Zhou Ming thought of rejection at the first time, but the imperial edict was stern, and there was also explanation in it, saying that he was "proficient in military affairs and understood the situation in the Western Regions. At this time, the Western Regions were in crisis and the court was in the process of employing people, so he should promote those who knew the military."... Zhou Ming met these requirements in all aspects and was the best candidate for the army.

In fact, the choice of Zhou Ming as the general who sent troops to the Western Regions was a decision made by Wu Mei and the ministers after discussing for a long time last night. Tian Zihua knew about the army, which was recognized by everyone, because Tian Zihua had advised Wu Mei countless times before, and advised her not to deal with those generals and make predictions. If these generals and generals were not allowed, what would happen to the surrounding borders? He said one by one...

However, Wu Mei just refused to listen. Now the entire Western Regions are in danger of falling, and the imperial court cannot come up with a decent general. At the last moment, he actually put his ideas on him.

In addition, Wu Mei's move has another purpose, which is to suppress Zhou Ming's reputation! If he agrees to hang the seal to fight, 50,000 troops will definitely not be the opponent of the Tufan coalition. It would be fine if he was defeated and died in battle. If he fled back, he would still be destined to die!

Of course, Zhou Ming can resist the orders and disrespect, which gave the court a remark. However, yesterday's petition storm just passed, and the court will not do anything to him for the time being, but when all the disasters are pacified, Wu Mei will still turn around and deal with him when she thinks of this matter!

Because she will never swallow the breath in her heart!

"Zihua received the order! He will definitely take office as soon as possible and lead the army to the war!"

What surprised the eunuch Xuanzhi was that Mr. Zihua, who was making a big fuss at the gate of the palace yesterday, just thought for a moment and nodded in the leader's order.

Holding the imperial edict in his hand, Zhou Ming planned to take the trick and promised the general, and then let those who did not plan to let him go and make a big fight!

He sneered in his heart: "You think I will be fooled by you, and I can't see through this little conspiracy that even idiots won't be fooled? But, it's better to play with you, let the people of the world see how idiots are you!"

Because, as long as he leaves the imperial capital and kills the five martial arts masters who still follow him, even if he fights Wu Mei ten times, he will not be afraid at all!

...

In the Liang Palace.

"What? Tian Zihua received the imperial edict and agreed to lead troops to the Western Regions? OK, okay! Tian Zihua, I will give you all the worst people, the worst equipment, and the least food and grass supplies! I will see how you will die on the battlefield without a burial place!"
