Chapter 2: The Four Great Dynasties

"This ...... The students don't know. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 I only know that it was erected by the remnants of the chaotic war era at that time. ”

"Well, this is known to the mainland, and even most of the people know a little. But for the military leadership, this is clearly not enough. Think about it, how can some small remnants build an empire that can compete with my ancient Tang Dynasty?"

"After paying the lives of countless talents, we went deep into the enemy country again and again, and we finally found out the background of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Yang Li quietly talked about these secrets, even when he talked about the sacrifice of countless spy soldiers, there was not the slightest emotional fluctuation. Obviously, I am used to all this, war, often human lives are piled up, and every news is drenched with blood behind it.

"The foundation of the Tang Dynasty is the four major dynasties. The reason why they were able to compete with my ancient Tang Dynasty was because of the local natural dangers on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was because of the civilization, system, and even talents left over from the four major dynasties. ”

"What?!"

Chen Guyu raised his head suddenly, and information about the four dynasties suddenly appeared in his mind.

The four major dynasties are divided into Changhe, Sunset, Guyue, and Thai Emperor. In the history of the ancient Tang Dynasty, there is such a passage: In the tenth year of the Tang calendar, the ancient Tang Dynasty attacked the Changhe Dynasty in the west, resisted the Sunset Empire in the east, swept the ancient Yue world in the south, and attacked the Thai Emperor tribe in the north. In layman's terms, it is the ancient Tang Kingdom that fought against four enemies and finally pacified the world.

But for the upper echelons of the Empire, the war at that time was by no means as easy as these four sentences say. Because whether it is restoring war relics or consulting historical materials, the four major dynasties at that time were definitely not weaker than the ancient Tang Dynasty.

It's just that too much time has passed, and many historical truths have disappeared into the long river of time. There is a lack of direct evidence to prove and understand everything that happened at that time.

Chen Guyu remembered what his father inadvertently said when he was a child.

"The four major dynasties, take one of them, defeat the ancient Tang Dynasty, take the second, can be the enemy of the ancient Tang Dynasty, take the third, the ancient Tang Dynasty is not defeated, the four come out together, the ancient Tang Dynasty should be destroyed. But...... Why?"

If this sentence spreads, the world will be in turmoil!

Yang Li looked at Chen Guyu and didn't let him continue to think, and then told more secrets, including history, politics, and secrets.

"We have their men in the court. ”

"Regardless of the Tang Emperor in his later years, the 400,000 troops of the second generation of the Tang Emperor were inexplicably wiped out, which was inevitably related to them. ”

"It seems that there is no other in the world now, but in fact, the interior has long been rotten, and we have lost eight of the ten small wars with the Tang Dynasty in the last ten years. ”

Each of these news was earth-shattering, but it was said so quietly by Yang Li, without being surprised, indignant and worried, it was said so indifferently.

Chen Guyu was terrified when he heard this, and cold sweat broke out, drenching his back and the crimson brocade robe. Although he was born into a family, he was a teenager after all, and he suddenly heard so much bad news, in terms of military quality, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, it was actually quite good.

After a long time, Yang Li suddenly took out a handkerchief to help his students wipe the cold sweat off their heads, and comforted him with a smile: "But don't worry." ”

"Actually, this is what every student in the Tianzi Camp has to go through, tell them this news, let them understand that this world is not stable, and they still need to work hard to contribute to the empire. But as the saying goes, the sky is falling and there is a tall man on top, for you, all this is too far away, you just need to study hard now, I tell you this, for the sake of class, but also to let you not slack off. ”

Obviously, Chen Guyu's playful nature came out again a few days ago, which made him a little worried.

"Yes, sir. Chen Guyu bowed, his expression was deferential, and he was also ashamed in his heart.

Seeing Mr.'s worries and remembering the hard work that Mr. had spent on himself, Chen Guyu secretly decided, "I can't be greedy for fun in the future, I've grown up, it's time to be mature." ”

————

Outside the No. 10 training ground of Tianzi Camp, it was still sunny. The bright and unscorching autumn sun cast shadows on the green trees in the academy, and patches of shadows covered the ground. Some students hurried by, startling a stall of fallen leaves. The chrysanthemum fragrance drifted in the air with the wind, invaded the students' mouths and noses, and soothed the autumn sleepiness caused by reading.

When Yang Li was talking about the secret, Chen Guyu was experiencing ignorance and accepting it, no matter how shocking the news was, the academy was still dull and quiet. Like the empire in the eyes of the people, it is as calm as a clear lake, without waves.

At this time, on the Silver Hook Bridge, a team of centaurs was slowly moving forward, coming from the first road.

At the head was a father-in-law in a yellow palace robe, riding a big red horse and holding a silver staff, which matched his silver hair. Although he has gray hair, he does not look old on his face, at most he is a middle-aged man in his forties, and with silver hair, he shows a strange charm.

Behind the father-in-law were two teams of royal guards, spears in their bodies, with firm steps, walking in unison.

After walking through the Wuqu River, you will come to the first section of the second road, at this time. The Chen Mansion in the first section had already opened the main entrance, and a man who looked like a housekeeper was standing in front of the door, waiting for them with a smile on his face.

"Executives, long time no see. The father-in-law-like man arched his hand to the butler.

"Haha, Father-in-law Liu, it's been a long time, don't be in a hurry to leave this time, I booked a banquet at Rushui Restaurant in the capital, and today we won't get drunk or return. ”

Gonggong Liu smiled, but refused,

"This is not good, today I have an edict from the saint, to say that with your master, take me to see the lord quickly, it is a big mistake to miss the saint's affairs. ”

As they spoke, the two walked into the house side by side.

As the second only royal prime minister's mansion, the Chen Mansion occupies a huge area. It is divided into three courtyards, and the Jiaolong Courtyard is located in front of the main hall for entertaining guests. The ink pond courtyard is located on both sides of the mansion, in which there are several acres of pond water, perennial flowers are fragrant, green trees are evergreen, it is a place to visit. And the last Wutong Courtyard, that is, the backyard, the place where the family lives and lives.

The three courtyards, one for the dragon, the royal name, Yu Prime Minister has high merit. The second is the ink pool, which is thought by Confucianism, and is like a year of water. The third is the sycamore, the phoenix perches on the sycamore, and takes the meaning of the phoenix's nirvana. It is rumored that it began in the year when Chen Ce's eldest son died, and he was pinned on the thoughts of a father.

Walking through the solemn Jiaolong courtyard, the two of them walked into the main hall. In the main hall, a middle-aged man who was a little fat was sitting on a pear wood chair, holding a book of statecraft thinking. Seeing someone enter, he slowly raised his head, was slightly stunned, and stood up.

"Meet Xiangye. ”

"It turned out to be Gonggong Liu in the palace, what did you do when you came to your mansion?" said the man quietly, but his tone was a little cold.

Gonggong Liu didn't mind the man's cold tone, but lowered his head even more, and his attitude was extremely deferential. Because this man who looks blessed and kind is the ancient Tang prime minister with tough means, Chen Ce, except for the Tang Emperor, he can hardly care about anyone.

He lowered his head, held the silver staff horizontally in front of his chest, and said softly: "Holy Lord's message, Xuan Xiangye will enter the palace immediately." ”

Chen Ce looked at the silver staff, the corners of his eyes jumped inexplicably, there was a slight deep meaning in his eyes, and after a long time, he said, "I know, Lao Gao, give a reward to my father-in-law." ”

The executive's family responded, bowed down with Gonggong Liu, and left Chen Ce alone in the main hall. Chen Ce stood quietly in the dark shadow, the deep meaning in his eyes deepened, and he snorted softly: "Silver staff, I didn't expect to use the silver staff, Your Majesty, what do you want to do again?"

The silver scepter is a symbol of royalty. The crown scepter sword, the golden crown, the silver scepter, and the Shang Fang sword, each appearance represents the appearance of something great. And in the past three hundred years, the golden crown has only appeared once, that year, the second generation of Tang Emperor sent troops to overthrow the Tang Dynasty, and then the whole army was wiped out, and the corpses were piled up in that distant valley.

……

Chen Ce sorted out the official clothes on his body, quietly walked into the upper study, and saluted slightly to the figure behind the screen.

"Meet Your Majesty. ”

The figure didn't speak, just sat at the desk, silently writing. Chen Ce didn't get up, just bowed and stood quietly.

A quarter of an hour later, the figure finally looked up and looked ahead, and a flat voice came from the screen.

"You see the silver rod. ”

"See. ”

"Do you know what's going on?"

"Weichen is stupid, he has been studying at home recently, and he doesn't know what happened in Beijing. Chen Ce still didn't look up, and responded indifferently in the face of Emperor Tang's words.

Emperor Tang paused, threw a booklet to the ground, and said coldly: "This was recently found out by my secret guards, and they are all remnants of the four major dynasties. It's just that now he is the official of my Gu Tang Dynasty, controlling my Gu Tang Dynasty's society and country, and every move. ”

Chen Ce bent down to pick up the booklet, glanced at it slightly, and replied, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the ministers will conduct a strict and thorough investigation in the next few days." If it is really the remnants of the four dynasties, the ministers will deal with it secretly. Keep the world from chaos. ”

"If there is nothing else to do in the saint, Weichen will retire first. After speaking, Chen Ce raised his head and looked at the figure in the screen, with a slight surprise in his eyes, and some of the names he had just seen appeared in his mind. Because, the status and power represented by those names are really heavy. At the same time, he was also a little puzzled, it stands to reason that although this matter is urgent, there is no need to use the silver staff.

Tang Huang was blocked by the screen, and he couldn't see his expression, but he could feel his sneer, and said lightly: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, the booklet you just now is incomplete." I also have a torn piece of paper here, with a name on it, maybe you will be familiar with it, Chen Guyu, have you heard of it?"

"And I have heard that after the death of your eldest son, you became seriously ill and lost your fertility. ”

Another bland sentence came out. Chen Ce raised his head and met the gaze of the person behind the screen, his expression did not change at all. It's just that the official robe behind him is already soaked.

Tang Huang's bland words echoed in the study, and I couldn't tell what expression was on his face, but I could imagine how angry he was in his heart. The prime minister of a country, but the descendants have become the remnants of the four major dynasties, the prime minister knows about it, but he does not report it, but raises it as an heir for decades, what is he going to do, subvert the country?

Outside the upper study, a winding road leads to the various palaces of the Imperial City. The midday sun shines directly on the Golden Luang Palace, rendering the pure golden eaves to a brilliant streamer. There were very few people in the entire imperial city, only a few guards patrolled it, but it finally added some popularity to this huge and deserted palace.

At this time, the imperial city was still calm.

At this time, the emperor's flat voice sounded in the upper study, indifferent as water, and there were no waves.

But in Chen Ce's heart, it was like thunder.

At that moment, it seemed that everything in more than ten years had been destroyed.
