When he thought of Yang Shihou, Wang Jian's face covered with gullies seemed to have a little more hostility. After all, in the past, he suspected that his subordinates would be rebellious. Regardless of whether they were wrong or not, he would rather kill the wrong person than let him go, and just clean up the hidden dangers... However, Yang Shihou's army was successful in the southern expedition, but he refused to return to the court. It was obvious that he had any intention of being ill-telled, but Wang Jian could not do anything to him.

When he colluded with the barbarian chiefs of southern Sichuan and wanted to invade Shu, Dachang and the country were defeated several times. The king Zheng Renmin no longer had the opportunity to stop his troops and support the people. He was settled in a corner, and the entire Yunnan area fell. He died of fright on his way to escape. The scattered territory around him had been divided by Bagan, the little Brahmin, the queen... and so on. Dachang and the attack on Dachang was more than ten or twenty years earlier than the original trajectory. Of course, Yang Shihou had no reason to command the army and respect his own troops.

However, Yang Shihou, who was stationed in the important eastern town of Nanzhao, connecting Guizhou, Guizhou, Yunnan and Annan (the capital of Kunming, Yunnan Province later), was located in the Tuodongcheng (the capital of Yunnan Province), which was located in the important eastern town of Nanzhao, and even went to Daxing Mintun and the Zhuzhu Office, which was very popular to settle down here...

The court sent envoys to urge him, and Yang Shihou also refused to obey the orders on the grounds that "the remnants of Dachang and the remnants have not been eliminated, and the people of the Yunnan region have not yet surrendered. In order to protect the peace of the southern border of Shu, it is not convenient for me to return north." This is exactly the same as Wang Jian's act of expelling important officials of the Tang court, sending troops to guard the key pass of the Shu road, and seizing the connection between the two Sichuans and the Central Plains from one side.

Wang Jian also planned to assemble a large army to conquer Yang Shihou, but he knew that this meant he would completely break up with the other party. The other party commanded the old subordinates and successively recruited some tribes of the white barbarians. If Yang Shihou was completely angered, he would also become a sharp knife behind Shu Kingdom.

Who has any confidant under his command who is capable of competing with Yang Shihou, a famous Liang Dynasty general in the past? Wang Jian thought about it, but sadly found that there was not even a suitable candidate...

Not only Yang Shihou has already regarded himself as the King of Yunnan, but Wang Jian has no other choice. During this period, his parent-child relationship cannot make him worry, even Wang Jian is even more worried, and his illness is even more ill, and his body is like a candle in the wind, as if he may fall down at any time.

Another adopted son, Wang Zongji, who was originally highly valued, had a grudge with his favorite ministers and was proud of his great merits and formed a clique for personal gain. Wang Jian suspected that he no longer took him seriously, so he ordered the warrior to kill him. Wang Zongyi, who had just been appointed as the crown prince, made a mutiny and killed his close ministers, fled to the people to hide, and was eventually captured and sentenced to death. His adopted son Wang Zongxun guarded Qianzhou, but he was greedy and violent, arrogant and over-the-stop, and was also sentenced by Wang Jian to issue an edict...

In addition, Wang Zongdi, who was previously popular with the people and highly praised by the soldiers in the army, but hanged him because of his suspicion from Wang Jian; and Wang Zongwan, who was now implicated in the fury of Xu Cun and was about to be executed by poisoned wine. He seemed to have taken the surgery on his own son and adopted son, and Wang Jian, who was red-eyed, came back to his senses and realized:

I have been killed too many of them by myself...

In addition, the 100,000 troops were completely defeated, and they had to completely defeat the Wei Emperor Li Tianqu, which was such a major blow. Wang Jian felt even more empty. After explaining a few more words, he waved his hand powerlessly and announced that he would retreat to the court.

Song Guangsi, the powerful official who was very favored by the Emperor of Shu, hurried forward himself, like a filial son and virtuous grandson, and carefully supported Wang Jian to the back hall to roll the curtain. However, by gently holding his arms, Song Guangsi could clearly feel that the Shu Dynasty emperor who he had been flattering all day long was even weaker. Although there was still a look of concern for Wang Jian's health on his face, he kept saying, "I hope Your Majesty take care of the dragon body"... but there was a clear expression of cunning in his eyes that was fleeting.

The ministers of Shu Kingdom had their own thoughts and withdrew from the inner court. However, a strong-bodied and fierce-looking martial official now served as the Minister of the Central Secretariat. He was also from the same hometown as Wang Jian and belonged to Wang Zongbi, who was a veteran of many adopted sons accepted by the Emperor of Shu. Soon he lowered his voice and said to Wang Zongbi:

"King Zhongshu, Your Majesty's dragon body is worrying. Have you ever heard what the Imperial Doctor said?"

The general who quietly asked Wang Jian about his physical condition was called An Chongba. He was originally from Yunzhou under the Later Tang Dynasty, but because of his escape, he joined the Shu Kingdom. The Shu Emperor Jian was born in the north and was good at riding and shooting, so he entrusted him with important tasks.

However, if Li Tianqu heard the name of An Chongba, he would inevitably sneer... Because this guy is cunning and greedy according to historical records, he is also because he is good at pleasing the powerful and nobles. According to the official history line, the Later Tang destroyed Shu, and most of the powerful officials in the court were not allowed to die well. However, An Chongba surrendered to the Later Tang Dynasty, but he used his ability to understand the superiors and to his preferences. After ascending the throne, he was greatly rectified the administration of the officials and severely punished the greedy Li Siyuan... So he became a fish that broke the corrupt officials during the remedial period of Emperor Mingzong of the Later Tang Dynasty. He also served as a military governor who was in charge of the territory. He survived until he was old and retired and died of illness in the house.

So in recent days, seeing that the Shu Emperor Jian's body was getting worse day by day, An Chongba's political sense was extremely sharp, and he soon realized that it seemed that it was not far from the time when the Shu Kingdom changed its lord... So regarding the palace, especially the physical condition of the emperor and the candidate for the crown prince, he naturally wanted to speak out against Wang Zongbi, who was a hero of the founding country of Shu Kingdom and one of the adopted sons who was highly valued by the Shu Emperor.

Seeing An Chongba approaching to ask, Wang Zongbi glanced at him, sneered a few times, and said:

"General An, I know that General An, you have always been close to the eunuch of King Chengxiu, and you can ask him. Don't be embarrassed by me, let alone Your Majesty is still alive, and you still need to be careful... As a court official, we only hope that Your Majesty's dragon body will be healthy. Even if something big happens in the near future... shouldn't we still have to do our best to the Emperor?"

"Hey, Wang Zhongshu, you are not unaware that although the eunuch of the king is favored, among the eunuchs who serve the imperial family, there are also the envoy of the Song Yuan, and the envoy of the flying dragon in the inner dragon. They are also popular people around His Majesty. During this period, people were also panic during the palace. The eunuch of the king is rich in affairs. As a military minister, it is not convenient for him to take the initiative to go and ask..."

Even though he knew that Wang Zongbi and him were not honest, An Chonggui still smiled with his face and asked again:

"Because the eldest prince was disabled, His Majesty originally appointed the second prince as the crown prince, but he was in a desperate situation. He really dared to lead troops to kill His Majesty's favorite ministers, so he committed the death penalty and was demoted to a commoner and was punished... The country cannot be without a master for a day, but now our dynasty has no crown prince, so the last general is certainly loyal to His Majesty, but after all, the emperor and the other ministers... Just to be able to point out a clear way for the last general, he will definitely hold a circle and build a straw in the future to repay you with great rewards."

The reason why An Chonggui was so eager to ask Wang Zongbi for his inquiries was that his status in the mind of the Emperor of Shu Dynasty was even more special than that of other adopted sons... After all, Wang Jian was extremely suspicious. No matter whether he was a parent-child or a son, he had outstanding abilities and had prestige among the military and civilians, he would be suspected of threatening his status and would be killed; he was arrogant and over-the-court, and thought that he would no longer take him as the lord of Shu Kingdom seriously. Even if it was a disaster, anyone who was implicated in anger would still have to kill him...

But Wang Zongbi did surrender because of his defeat, and then returned to Xichuan again and again... Wang Jian still treated this adopted son who once betrayed him as before.

When Wang Jian occupied Xichuan, he immediately sent troops to annex Dongchuan, which was ruled by Gu Yanhui. Wang Zongbi was defeated and captured, so he surrendered to Gu Yanhui and was appointed as his adopted son. He was once renamed Gu Chen. Then his two godfathers continued to fight, and Wang Jian was better. Gu Yanhui was defeated many times and was defeated by Yu Zizhou. When the city was broken, he committed suicide, but said to Wang Zongbi, "You are not my son, you can survive by yourself." Wang Zongbi then returned to Wang Jian's command. To this day, he even plays a significant role in the Shu Kingdom.

Therefore, An Chonggui could conclude that if the Shu Kingdom really needs to establish a new king, Wang Zongbi must have known the inside story.
