    It is impossible for a person's life to be smooth sailing, but people will be in a bad mood when reciting words. However, Xu Xianchun's current mood is very complicated.  He had been memorizing words for the first half of his life. He didn't expect that things would finally go smoothly in his middle age, but suddenly he fell from heaven back to hell. It was a big ups and downs.  Sitting under the pass of the city wall, smelling the burning smell around him, Xu Xianchun's face was neither happy nor sad, looking indifferent.  Thinking back to the first half of his life, Xu Xianchun sighed softly. He didn't understand it very well when he was young.  At that time, I thought that since my family was a member of the imperial family, I would have a good future even if I didn't work hard.  When I grew up, I finally realized that my identity was embarrassing, and being the prince-consort¡¯s grandfather was also embarrassing.  As a veteran of the current dynasty, all Xingjin families like him stayed away from him.  The civil servants of the current dynasty regarded people like themselves as dirt and disdained to associate with them.  Military generals are mostly hereditary nobles, and they look down on people like themselves. Their status is as embarrassing as it is embarrassing.  Smiling softly, he looked up at the dim sky. Xu Xianchun's eyes were unusually firm, 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 make all those who look down on me surrender under my feet.  But more than thirty years later, Xu Xianchun still achieved nothing. With the help of his grandma, he got into the frugal position of Jinyiwei.  At the beginning, he also wanted to make great achievements, but after being ostracized for many years in Jinyiwei, Xu Xianchun understood that it was really difficult to do something without a foundation and connections.  Until he met that person, the person sitting in the Dragon Court, Xu Xianchun knew that his opportunity had come.  In the Liaodong case, I worked hard, hoping to get that person's recognition. All my hopes for so many years were on him.  In order to gain power, he is willing to cooperate with the devil. Even if he steps on mountains of corpses and seas of blood and the bones of others, he must become a master.  As long as you can do it, your son will no longer receive that kind of glare, and your descendants will no longer keep their heads down and live a good life. Even if you die of capital punishment in the end, you will have no regrets.  Finally, after countless people died, he was promoted. Comrade Jinyiwei was ordered to promote Nanzhen Fusi.  At this moment, he became one of the few powerful figures among the Jin Yiwei, but he still refused to give in and had to stand up.  Looking at the corpse not far away and listening to the shouts around him, Xu Xianchun told himself in his heart that he must live.  For your own ideals, for your own ambitions, and for the sake of trampling those people under your feet, you must live!  Gently picking up the embroidered spring knife on one side and looking at the blood on it, Xu Xianchun's eyes became more and more determined.  Xu Xianchun stood up slowly and slowly held on to the wall. Xu Xianchun had a determined look on his face.  This is a small city, not very high or very thick. There are people underneath the city, all of them.  These people were all wearing different clothes, but everyone had a red scarf on their head, and they all had weapons in their hands.  "Sir, get out of here quickly! There are not many people in the city, so it is still possible to break through with people. I have prepared twenty horses. Your Excellency, please go first!" A man wearing an inspection uniform walked quickly.  He came over, wiped the blood on his face, and said breathlessly.  He smiled indifferently, smoothed the knife in his hand, and said with a smile: "I am an imperial envoy sent by the emperor. If I abandon the city and flee at this time, how can I go to see the emperor? Besides, I am the emperor.  As a pro-army soldier, you should always be on the front lines of the war. How could you leave at this time? Inspector Liu, please don¡¯t say anything like this again.¡± Listening to Xu Xianchun¡¯s words, Inspector Liu seemed to think he had heard wrong.  Have you ever been so brave?  Maybe this Shangguan is different!  Looking at Xu Xianchun carefully, Inspector Liu nodded seriously when he saw that Xu Xianchun didn't seem to be joking.  Standing behind Xu Xianchun, Inspector Liu slowly recalled the day when this person came. It was originally a very normal day.  However, this fellow Jin Yiwei brought more than a hundred people to Changlin where he was stationed, a place that was not even a county seat.  For these people, most of whom were injured, Inspector Liu did not dare to neglect them at all. After all, the leader was not only a member of the Jinyi Guards, but also an imperial envoy under the command of the king.  Before Inspector Liu had digested the news, the news brought by these people shook Inspector Liu to his head.  There was a rebellion in Shandong, and the Wenxiangmen rebelled.  Naturally, Liu Wenxiangmen had heard about the inspection, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He always thought it was just a Buddhist organization, or at worst, a money-scamming organization.  Inspection Liu never expected that the Wenxiang Sect would be a branch of the White Lotus Sect. They had been preparing for it for twenty years, just to rebel. ?Without time to think too much, Inspector Liu immediately closed the city gate and organized people to prepare to defend the city.  If Xu Xianchun hadn't been here, Inspector Liu might have run away.  There are only five hundred officers and soldiers in Linchang, and many of them are people who use the back door through connections. The old, weak, sick and disabled gather here, and there are less than three hundred soldiers capable of fighting.  Facing the more than 3,000 rebels, they were simply looking for death.  But Xu Xianchun refused to retreat, and Inspector Liu did not dare to say anything, nor did he dare to kill Xu Xianchun.  Inspector Liu has been in Shandong for many years. Although he has never left this three-acre land, he knows in his heart that these rebels are just looking for death.  Now that I have run away, I will find some reason to be a powerful thief in the future, so I can't lose my official position in giving gifts. After all, no one will have trouble with my patrol, and there are people above me.  "If you kill Xu Xianchun, it would be tantamount to rebellion. You don't want to be a thief, so why do you do such a stupid thing."  Inspector Liu also thought about killing Xu Xianchun and putting the blame on the rebels, but he gave up the idea without thinking.  It's hard to say whether the people in his hands can defeat the people under Xu Xianchun. Once the matter is exposed, he will probably be executed.  Looking at the determined Xu Xianchun, Inspector Liu suddenly had another idea. He and his men had been holding on here for two days. If they could persist until reinforcements arrived, it would be a great achievement for him.  I have been in this ninth-grade position for so many years, spent a lot of money, and cultivated a lot of relationships, but I still haven't been able to get promoted.  Inspector Liu believes that with this contribution, he will definitely be able to make further progress.  Looking back at Inspector Liu, Xu Xianchun suddenly had an idea of ??his own. He pondered for a moment and said: "Inspector Liu, I came to Shandong this time on the orders of the emperor. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, but the emperor  Sheng Ming, I believe that reinforcements will come soon. Inspector Liu is trapped in the isolated city this time and fought bloody battles with his five hundred soldiers. He is indeed a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. After this incident is over, I will decide.  I will ask the court for credit!" After hearing Xu Xianchun's words, Inspector Liu was stunned, and then he was ecstatic. He clasped his fists at Xu Xianchun and said loudly: "It's a shame for me to promote you, but Liu Huayu will let you do whatever you want from now on.  Chi!" He nodded with satisfaction. He had indeed seen the right person. Inspector Liu was indeed an exquisite person.  But this alone is obviously not enough. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Inspector Liu, you are worthy of being a member of our Jinyiwei. It is not easy to be a spy for so many years! But it's okay, you  I have recorded your merits. When I return to the capital, I will naturally promote you!" Inspection Liu was stunned on the spot. What did he say? When he saw Xu Xianchun's eyes, he was stunned.  Stunned.  Regardless, he suddenly realized that this was not the time for him to be in a daze. He picked up his clothes, knelt down on the ground, and said loudly: "In this humble position, I will obey your teachings!" Xu Xianchun nodded with satisfaction again. Xu Xianchun thought this person was a bit interesting.  , I have a smart mind, but I just don¡¯t know how to do things.  If the means are not bad, then you can cultivate them well.  With a gentle wave of 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 with a solemn expression.  When they also came to the city wall, Inspector Liu¡¯s face was not very good-looking either. The joy just now was 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 survive it, I will be able to flourish!  Holding a fist towards Xu Xianchun, Liu Xunjian said in a deep voice: "My lord, I have humbled my post to select some young men and asked them to come to the city wall to help defend the city. Of course, I will not retreat, so I will naturally stay here with you!" After listening to Liu Xun  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 will definitely be a stain on myself, a stain that cannot be washed away.  If Emperor Tianqi knew that he had run away like this, even if he was not beheaded, there would be no hope of advancement in the future.  There are two possibilities for defending here. The first is that if the city is breached, you will be dead.  However, both his descendants and the Xu family will be highly rewarded by the court.  The second is to hold on until the reinforcements arrive. By then, a great achievement will definitely become a step forward for him.  After repeated thinking, Xu Xianchun decided to take a gamble. There are not many good opportunities in life. Now that he has such an opportunity, he must give it a try.  Looking at the busy rebels below the city, Xu Xianchun suddenly felt sympathy for them. Many of these people were ordinary people.  The sun rises and sets and rests every day. Although life is difficult, it is peaceful and joyful.  Now that people from Wenxiang Sect have tricked them here, I'm afraid many people will die here.  (To be continued.
