Chapter 375: Pass

Yingchuan is surrounded by mountains, in terms of geographical location, it is a very suitable military fortress, after all, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it has also achieved the existence of tens of thousands of Jingwei around this town, which is one of the necessary places to enter Jian'an, and it is also an important pass to guard Jian'an. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, on top of a beacon tower at this important pass, all sides are very tightly guarded, and I am afraid that not even a single mosquito can fly in.

"Commander, be careful, it's a little shaking here, let's go over there. ”

"It's not easy to walk over there, Commander, why don't we rest for a while?"

"Commander, this place has been wiped clean, be careful. ”

The generals of the First Army, who are usually majestic and intimidating in the army, are all cautiously hugging an old man with a white beard and a very pale face, and he is whispering softly beside him, as if he is afraid that if the voice is a little louder, he will not be respectful enough, and he bows his head and says careful words to the old man.

And as long as it is the place where the old man has stepped on, even if the stone bricks are uneven a little, these majestic generals on weekdays will be afraid for a while.

Let the old man, that is, the old man Liang's face that had been tense, finally couldn't help it at this time.

"I'm not an old man in my seventies and eighties, I can't even walk, what are you rambling about?"

"Commander, you have not recovered from your serious injuries, so it's always right to be careful. The older one of the generals was pushed out by everyone at this time and explained to Old Man Liang.

"Be careful, I know my own body, but how is the fortress fort built?" Old Man Liang stood on the beacon tower at this time, condescendingly looked at a huge building that was being built in secret, and asked in a deep voice.

"Everything is normal, just like the commander you and the old man Yu envisioned, after the Ministry of Industry has secretly planned and designed in the past few years, as long as the fortress outside Yingchuan is established, the only way from Yingchuan to the imperial capital will definitely be safe, presumably when this fortress is built to take shape, His Majesty will definitely understand its importance, and will no longer resist like now. ”

As for what Emperor Cheng resisted, even if the general didn't say it, but who else didn't know, wasn't he resisting the state treasury silver that he originally wanted to use to squander pleasure and was "wasted" in vain?

These generals, who have been fighting bloody battles on the front line almost all their lives, will always be cold little by little when they think of how stingy the people sitting on the dragon chairs at this time are more stingy than quietly doing those ridiculous things.

"Whether to resist or not, it's not 'him' who has the final say. ”

The people here at this time, except for Old Man Liang, are the descendants of the old people who have been following him to Shanhaiguan.

Therefore, when they heard "him" at this time, the others did not react strangely at all, and they all listened attentively to Old Man Liang's teachings.

"This war with Hou Shu, although we Xiyin suffered heavy losses, but this also reminds us of a point, don't think that after a few years of peace, the world will be really quiet, and now it is a real troubled era - there is Chengyue in the east, there is Northern Chu in the north, and Hou Shu in the south. ”

Old Man Liang stroked the stone platform on the beacon tower that had gone through the wind and rain, and looked at the sky from afar.

I don't know what his old man's eyes saw through this diva in his eyes.

"Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he is not diligent and strict in the end, and now the concubine can still let him restrain himself, but I don't know how long this scene can last, I hope that while we are still there, this fortress can be built, otherwise if we are all gone, it will ........."

All these efforts that have gathered the efforts of countless people and hoped to make for this country will also come to naught.

Even if it was just for this, he, an old man, couldn't die at this time.

The sun is blazing in the sky, but for some reason, on the beacon tower where Old Man Liang and the others are located, there is a sense of depression, even if the sun in the sky is blazing at this time, it can't stop the spread of this bleakness.

At this time, it is the last bit of sunlight outside the house, and it is the warmest when it falls. The wind, blowing gently, blew the rustle of the leaves of the willows, and gently echoed in the ears, like the clear water of the tinkling dong.

And the peach trees in the middle of summer, now the peach blossoms have long withered, at this time only the dry branches remain, swaying slightly in the orange sun and wind, and it is also in this street full of dry peach trees, a peach tree that is already very old, and life is about to come to an end, the peach tree is full of fog and flowers, as if the peach blossoms are colorful.

……

During the juvenile reign of Emperor Wen, a great war broke out between Xiyin and Houshu, and it was this great war that made Liang Hu, the general of Zhendong in Xiyin, begin to show his edge and amaze the world - Liang Hu led the only 100,000 troops left in Xiyin at that time, repelled the wolf army of Houshu, and invaded Shu nearly thousands of miles away, forcing Houshu to take the initiative to negotiate peace.

At that time, although Xiyin was like a rainbow at that time, but in fact, the national strength was extremely weak, and it was really a fantasy to take advantage of this to annex Houshu. Emperor Wen knew this very well, so this war between the two countries provoked by Hou Shu first, and finally ended with Hou Shu's initiative to negotiate peace. After many unequal treaties were signed in Houshu and a prince was sent to Xiyin as a proton, the war was completely quelled.

As for the lord of Dongyu County...... Chu Gu's mother, that is, at that time, arrived with Proton.

Concubine Meng is one of the four concubines of the first emperor, and the queen of the first emperor has only one in her life, and that is Empress Yuan Houzhen. After Empress Zhen's red face and early death, the first emperor did not establish a new one, and took charge of the power of the six palaces, but in the end, she was the favorite concubine of Emperor Cheng, Li Guifei.

Li Guifei is a person who is authoritarian and domineering, and has great ambitions, and has always wanted to meddle in national affairs, and when the first emperor was critically ill, she conspired with the imperial doctor to falsely announce the edict, and deceived all the adult princes into the Guangming Palace, and poisoned them all.

In the end, Li Guifei and her father and brother also launched the Chengdemen Mutiny, wanting to establish his three-year-old son as the emperor, if it weren't for the fact that at the last moment, Concubine Meng risked her life to rescue the widow of Empress Yuan Houzhen - Emperor Wen and King Li, who were only eleven years old at the time, and King Li, so that the three princes had a reason to fight back, then it is estimated that Li Guifei's poisonous plan would have been successful.

It's just that after everything was settled, people suddenly discovered that Concubine Meng's eldest son and youngest son had all died in the conspiracy in Guangming Palace.

And these are also so profound and clear in Liang Cheng's previous life, on the eve of his father and mother being beheaded.

Emperor Wen died, Emperor Huai ascended the throne, and compared with Emperor Wen's name of Mingjun, Emperor Huai's cruelty and mediocrity are even more ugly.

All those who had offended him were dismissed from office and sentenced to prison within a month, and none of them were spared.

Among them, although the worst cannot be regarded as the Liang family, after Liang Sixuan was convicted of capital crime and imprisoned, and the Shen family was also convicted of insulting Emperor Huai and Shen Yunchong's secret troublemakers, Liang Sixuan used the last strength of the Liang family to save their lives, and she knew everything.

And speaking of this, we can't help but talk about the King of England, Liang Cheng's appearance at this time is not very good, that is the King of England! He is one of the only three kings with different surnames in Xiyin today, although the power is not comparable to that of King Li, but the King of England is also the overlord of the defense line of the Xiyin Sea with 50,000 sea divisions in his hands, and he has blocked countless invasions of the sea invaders throughout the year for Xiyin, and he is the greatest contributor to the preservation of peace in the western territory.

Such a hero, no matter who it is, will not ignore it and cannot ignore it, Liang Cheng is naturally the same, but she looked at Zhong Qing in front of her, but she began to worry about her a little, after all, the daughter of the king, that is, the girl who is now being surrounded in the center of the field, almost became Qi Xuan's wife.

The British prince has a lot of heirs, but what he loves the most is his youngest daughter Tang Menglan, and Tang Menglan, as the daughter of the British king, is already the proud daughter of the sky, not to mention that she has been loved by the British king, and her personality has been raised a little rough since she was a child.

But anything that Tang Menglan likes and wants, whether it is a person or a thing, there is almost nothing that cannot be obtained.

And it is such a proud daughter of heaven who wants to be windy and rainy, and her personality is still a little rude, but in front of Emperor Wen and even Concubine Meng, she is quite loved, and her Chinese emperor will put it aside, after all, there are too many things to consider in the emperor's heart, in terms of the importance of the British king to the Xiyin Sea Realm, that Emperor Wen's love for Tang Menglan is only because of the British king.

But Concubine Meng is different.

In addition to Chu Gu and Liang Cheng, the juniors who can get into the eyes of Concubine Meng, now Liang Cheng only knows a Princess Changping and a Qi Jue, and the rest is only Tang Menglan, the youngest daughter of the British King.

After all, if Tang Menglan is really as the outside world says, she is just a proud girl with a noble status and a brutal personality, then how can she be favored by Concubine Meng and her old man? How can she make Concubine De and her old man have the idea of marrying Qi Ling and Tang Menglan?

Although in the end, Tang Menglan made Jian'an almost full of trouble because of the words of the second princess Yang, and her relationship with Qi Ling failed to take shape in the end, but it only made Concubine Meng have such an idea, which can show that Tang Menglan is not what outsiders say at all.

It's just that Liang Cheng is very jealous of her, but the person who is even more jealous of her is Zhong Qing.

"Back then, the second princess said, 'This woman is a little rude', so that Tang Menglan, who had already nodded and agreed to have a relationship with His Royal Highness Qi Xuan, made Jian'an a storm overnight, not only ran to His Majesty to cry, but also 'coincidentally' met Princess Li, who has always been good friends with Princess Ying, in Xiaoyu Temple, and was so aggrieved that she cried bitterly on the spot, and then went into the palace with her mother, Princess Ying, to ask for peace to Concubine Feng, and she also cried in the palace of Concubine Feng......... It's just a short day, and the entire Jian'an is rumored that the second princess doesn't like Tang Menglan, and even bullies her as a mother-in-law, and finally makes Feng Guifei find a reason to have a seizure, and even Concubine Hui has been snubbed by Emperor Wen for a long time, and the second princess has not even taken another step out of the palace gate for a long time. ”

Liang Cheng looked at Zhong Qing, who was silent, and continued: "After that, if it weren't for the sudden swarming of the Haikou from the west, which caused the war in the sea to break out, Princess Ying and Tang Menglan would not have hurried back to the King of England, and the matter back then might not have been so simple to settle down." ”

This matter was something that even Liang Cheng, who was at the gate of the Liang family at that time, had heard of it, let alone Zhong Qing.

Compared with Liang Ming, she was even fortunate to witness Tang Menglan's unscrupulousness even in front of the second princess Yang, in front of the second princess who made her feel so stressed in Zhong Qing's opinion, Tang Menglan could actually be so unscrupulous.

Maybe Tang Menglan is the only person who can make concessions like the second princess Yang since Liang Cheng and Princess Changping, but no matter whether Liang Cheng or Princess Changping, they will not be like Tang Menglan, and the second princess Yang will tear their faces directly and completely.

Not to mention that there is Emperor Wen behind Princess Changping, it is impossible for her to ignore Emperor Wen's face, even Liang Cheng has the entire Liang family behind her, even if she doesn't like the second princess of the Yang family, it is also impossible for her to act like Tang Menglan.

In today's Jian'an, there will be no one who can be as noble as Tang Menglan, and his father is also a general who guards one side, so he has not been trapped in the intricate power network of Jian'an.

No one can have anything to do with the King of England, and because the King of England is both a prince with a different surname and a general who guards one side, everyone in the court even deliberately keeps a distance from the King of England, so as not to make Emperor Dewen suspect that he has any bad intentions, then it is indefensible.

Even if Emperor Wen attached great importance to the British king, even the unwritten rule that the relatives and children of the generals guarding the border must stay in Jian'an as hidden hostages, Emperor Wen directly abolished it for the sake of the British king

But that's just a manifestation of Emperor Wen's favor to the King of England, Emperor Wen can use it, but if others dare to do this, waiting for their fate without thinking too much, they can know what it is, so everyone dare not approach this very special existence.
