If you disobey the decree and disobey the monarch's father, you will be punished with a hundred rods!

Xiao Feng never dreamed that one day he would be reduced to the point of being like a wolf. After Queen Xiao Guanyin poisoned him that day, he was weak and had to live in the East Palace temporarily. The crown prince Yelu Jun is kind-hearted and admires Xiao Feng's bravery, but he is the same to him, arranging a lot of palace maids to take care of his daily life, and arranging for the prince's mansion Zhan Shi to share with him about the various forces in the court, and make up for his knowledge of officialdom.

If it was the seventh day, the Liao lord Yelu Hongji sent people several times to ask, would you like to lead the troops to attack the Song Dynasty? Xiao Feng sternly refused, and finally annoyed Yelu Hongji and wanted to take his life. When Xiao Guanyin and the prince heard about this, they both threw themselves at the bottom of the stairs and kowtowed again and again to intercede for him, and in the end, Yelu Hongji only beat him with a hundred sticks because of the face of his wife and children and the memory of Xiao Feng's rescue work.

Rao is Xiao Feng has internal strength to protect his body, and this hundred sticks are also beaten to the point that he is bedridden. Xu is Liao lord Yelu Hongji felt a little ashamed of him after he woke up, but in the past few days, he has sent many imperial doctors to treat him and give him good medicine. Queen Xiao Guanyin also came to visit several times, and she couldn't stop crying every time she sat at the head of his bed. However, even so, Xiao Guanyin still never mentioned the antidote for him. That day, Xiao Guanyin interceded for him, and did not hesitate to kowtow until his forehead was red, swollen and broken, and the dripping blood was stained with the jade steps, which made people feel miserable when they looked at it. But at that time, Xiao Guanyin also did not intend to give him an antidote, so that he fled for his life.

Xiao Feng has been in bed for the past few days to recuperate, thinking about Xiao Guanyin's words and deeds in the past few days, and finally realized that his cousin treats him very well. However, this goodness is built on the basis of not shaking their status as mother and child. Xiao Feng knew that he didn't care about imperial power, fame and fortune, but he couldn't ask the queen's mother and son not to care about him in general. For this, he could only sigh.

And the prince is really a thoughtful and good person. He was afraid that Xiao Feng would feel embarrassed, so during his recuperation, he no longer arranged for Zhan Shi of the Prince's Mansion to talk to him about the ancients, but took time to chat with him every day to relieve his boredom.

Originally, the two were just talking about the officialdom of Daliao, but there was a lot of gossip, but the topic inevitably diverged, and they talked nonsense all over the world. On this day, they talked about the martial arts conference in Shaolin in the seventh year of Yuan You. Yelu Jun couldn't help but stroking his palms and laughing when he heard Murong Fu forcing those martial arts heroes to kneel. "This Lord Murong is really a wonderful person!"

Xiao Feng obviously disagrees with this. "The prince doesn't know those martial arts heroes, they have their own heads and faces in the rivers and lakes, and they must have a grudge when they were forced to kneel to see Murong that day. It is really unwise for Murong to gain face but bury hidden dangers. ”

As soon as Xiao Feng said this, the prince couldn't help but look at him with strange eyes.

But Xiao Feng saw that the prince didn't say a word for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "What, what did I say wrong?" ”

"I see! I see! "I saw that the prince was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed." Uncle, Lone finally understands why you always have a dispute with your father, and why Lone is so close to you at first sight. Originally...... It turned out to be so simple! ”

Xiao Feng looked at him in surprise, as if he was at a loss.

I saw that the prince laughed for a while, and then said with a straight face: "Uncle, let me ask you, that Lord Murong's official residence is also ordered by the emperor to patrol all roads, do ordinary people want to kneel down to salute him when they see him?" ”

Xiao Feng nodded and replied, "It should be so." ”

"Since it should be so, then why do ordinary people kneel, but the rivers and lakes can't kneel? Could it be that they also have official merits and can be exempted from kneeling when they see officials? The prince asked again. This time, without waiting for Xiao Feng to speak, the prince already laughed and said coldly. "I don't think so! That being the case, according to the rules, they should kneel! These heroes refused to kneel down to see Shangguan, but they just relied on their personal martial arts and felt superior to others. However, in the face of the laws of the court, they were no different from those ordinary people. ”

Xiao Feng was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, he said: "These heroes are all loyal, and the court's slight courtesy makes them grateful, and if they can't say it, they will think about repaying ......."

"But this is the reverse effect!" Before Xiao Feng finished speaking, the prince interrupted him bluntly. "Uncle, don't forget, my uncle won the position of king of the Southern Courtyard for his father, and he was rewarded by his father first. If the uncle threatened his father with his official position, he would be unfaithful! ”

"This ......" This time, Xiao Feng couldn't answer anymore. His heart was very chaotic, and there was a faint thought that was about to come out, but it always seemed to be separated by a layer of fog, so that he could not see through it and could not touch it.

"Uncle, don't you understand?" I saw the prince looking at Xiao Feng and said slowly, "Uncle has been at ease in the rivers and lakes for a long time, so he doesn't take the imperial power in his eyes. Although he also knew that his father was the lord of the world, he never thought that his father could be his own master. However, even though your uncle is a martial champion, fearless of life and death, and regards fame and fortune as dung, if your father really sends a large army to deal with you, who do you say will win and who will lose? In the world, everyone is afraid of imperial power, why is my uncle not afraid? …… Uncle, ask yourself, do you really think you can be on an equal footing with your father? ”

The prince's words were like a thunderbolt falling on Xiao Feng's heart on a sunny day, teaching him to tremble with his hands and face to be snow-white, and he couldn't spit out a word for a long time.

"Uncle, you should be afraid of your father. Just like the queen mother and loneliness are afraid of him, just like the world is afraid of him! The prince said word by word, "In this world, only the imperial power is supreme, even if you don't love fame and fortune and are not afraid of life and death, your father also has other ways to make you feel painful, life is better than death!" ”

Xiao Feng's mind went blank, and he muttered a few words for a long time. "Class ...... Class...... Murong, you ......, "Why did you know that this class was insurmountable, but you were still willing to join the officialdom to drive others?" Is it because of the persuasion of Master Su and me, or because of the great cause of your Murong clan's rejuvenation?

The crown prince didn't know what Xiao Feng was thinking, and when he heard him mention Murong Fu, he smiled and said, "Lord Murong is an official residence, but my uncle was a commoner at that time. Originally, when my uncle saw Lord Murong, he also wanted to kneel down to see him. He forgave you from courtesy, and I think he came to be close to you. Uncle doesn't know that people in the world are afraid of imperial power, and they are afraid of being ruthless, but they inevitably give birth to servility, which is really unpleasant. ”

Xiao Feng shook his head, and suddenly asked, "What about martial arts?" The prince is close to me because I have never been afraid of the imperial power like a tiger, is the prince not afraid that I will kill people with martial arts, and the prince will not be able to resist? ”

The prince couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said with a smile: "With my uncle's martial arts, can he be an enemy of one person, ten enemies, a hundred enemies, maybe a thousand, ten thousand enemies?" ”

Xiao Feng shook his head honestly.

"If so, why should Lone be afraid?" The prince casually brushed the dust on his knees and said in a deep voice. "Jianghu people regard the unique martial arts cheats as strange and cherish their lives, but in the eyes of Lonely, how can they be the first master of martial arts in the world, and how can they be as strong as an arm? Lone doesn't hide it from his uncle, and we also have some strange people in Daliao who serve the imperial court, but most of the work they do can't see the light and can't be put on the stage. It was at that time that my uncle rescued and quelled the chaos, and the reason why he was able to succeed was that in addition to his uncle's one-man martial arts to subdue the three armies, the more important thing was that the heart of the army was in the emperor's father, and the soldiers were unwilling to oppose it! ”

"Original...... But it turned out to be ...... Martial arts, not important? Xiao Feng said in disbelief.

The prince looked at Xiao Feng with compassion on his face, and shook his head slowly but firmly. "Uncle, the rivers and lakes are different from officialdom. On the rivers and lakes, the uncle can subdue him if he disagrees with someone; In officialdom, can my uncle still do this? For example, Na Yelu Yixin repeatedly framed his uncle in front of the emperor, why didn't his uncle ......"

Xiao Feng really didn't want to listen to the rest of the words, and there was only one thought in his mind, which was like a thunderbolt, and he couldn't speak. Murong Bo is lying! Murong didn't befriend me because of my martial arts! He's lying! Ten years, why did Murong befriend me in the past ten years? Murong, why is this?!

On March 20 of the ninth year of Yuan You, the stagecoach moved, the fire forced the gold line, and the west was greatly benefited. It's better to send troops!

Just after the Yin hour, the Yan Yan army was slightly pacified, and the envoy ordered the 100,000 soldiers of the Yan Yan army to assemble in the school field. The Yan army is a strong army in the world, and the order is forbidden. As soon as the order of the general of the plant was passed out of the camp tent, but in the time of half a pillar of incense, 100,000 soldiers were already waiting in the school field, and the cool breeze passed through, and they were slaughtered.

After a while, Chong Mo appeared, and saw him in full armor, majestically walking on the stage, and coldly looking around at the soldiers in the audience.

Hearing the light sound of armor, 100,000 soldiers bowed down and shouted: "I've seen the general!" ”

"Excuse me!" He said in a deep voice. When the soldiers got up, he said. "Brothers, what are we doing in the west for many years?"

This truth, one of the generals of the Yan Yan Army, has often heard Shangguan mention it since the Yuan You period, and it has long been cocooned in ears today. At this time, all the soldiers immediately replied in unison: "Destroy the Western Xia and protect the family and defend the country!" ”

"Good!" He put a fist into his heart and continued. "Yan Yanjun is united, diligent in training, and has never slackened for a day. The Empress Dowager knew that our army had worked hard in training, and there was never a shortage of food, equipment, and rewards. The Empress Dowager is so trusted, don't you feel sorry? ”

The eyes of the soldiers immediately lit up with fire, and they roared in unison: "Minggan Wunei, dare not forget if you die!" ”

"Now that the Empress Dowager has given flintlock pistols and artillery to help my Yan army quell the Western Xia, do you dare to go into battle to kill the enemy?" His eyes widened in anger and he yelled loudly.

"Nine deaths without regrets! Nine deaths without regrets! "There is no need to plant and motivate again, and there is already a voice of courage on the school field.

Seeing this, Ma Juan, who was wearing a six-grade civilian official uniform, couldn't help but smile at Murong Fu beside him: "The cultivation of the scriptures is highly respected and loyal in the army, don't say that these soldiers are like subordinate officials!" ”

Murong Fu smiled lightly and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a familiar voice shouted: "Cultivate the scriptures, and send troops slowly!" Holy Decree! The Divine Decree has arrived! Everyone followed the prestige, but saw that it was Lord Meng Taemeng, who had been promoted to the governor of Gyeongju, riding a fast horse and shouting "holy decree" to the school field.

After a while, Meng Tai, who was in turmoil because of the galloping horse, rolled off the horse, climbed onto the platform, pulled Chong Ge's arm and said breathlessly: "Seed ...... Grow a strategy, and send troops slowly! Divine Decree ...... The Divine Decree ......" I saw him gasp for a while, and suddenly burst into tears. "On the fifth day of the third month of the ninth year of Yuan You, the Empress Dowager died! The official family has a purpose, the music and dance are forbidden, and the military and civilians are mourned! ”

Meng Tai said that, Murong Fu's feet suddenly staggered, and his face turned pale. "The Empress Dowager...... Got it? ”

But the soldiers of the Yan army had already cried loudly. Over the years, Murong Fu has given the soldiers of the Yan Army a lot of preferential treatment in the name of the Empress Dowager, and everyone of the soldiers is grateful for the Empress Dowager's kindness and is willing to die for her. Now that the soldiers and horses have not moved, but the empress dowager has left the west, how can they not make them cry bitterly?

Meng Tai held Chong Ge's hand at this time and whispered: "Seed Jingluo, according to the rules, you can't send troops at this time!" ”

As soon as Meng Tai said this, Chong Ge's eyebrows twisted, and Murong Fu instantly raised his head and stared at Chong Ge.

The two people on and off the stage exchanged glances wordlessly, and suddenly smiled slightly, and turned to face the soldiers. "Soldiers, the Empress Dowager passed away, and everyone was heartbroken. But now there is something important that must be decided, and the brothers should stop crying and listen to a certain word! ”

There was a kind of saying, and the soldiers quieted down one after another, and looked at the seed in silence.

I saw Chong Ge clasping his fists to the south and saluting, and said loudly: "Although the Empress Dowager is a woman, she is ambitious, and she is dedicated to completing the legacy of her ancestors and leveling the Western Xia!" Now, the Empress Dowager has given a powerful firearm to order our army to destroy the Xia Kingdom, but the official family has issued a holy decree to our army to mourn, who should we listen to? ”

As soon as the words fell, there was an immediate buzz in the school yard, and there was an uproar. Some said: "When you follow the order of the Empress Dowager, you will fight the Xia Kingdom first!" ”； Some said: "The official family has a purpose, and the official family should listen to it!" ”。 Someone was clever and said, "We should mourn first, and then send troops!" ”； How do you know that there was a more clever retort immediately: "Then why don't you send troops first, and then mourn?" The two sides disagreed, and everyone looked at the seed again, and said in unison: "Please show the general!" ”

"The military situation is like fire, and the national mourning is like a mountain!" He was silent for a long time, and finally spoke in a deep voice. I saw him tear off a piece of white cloth from the mezzanine of his clothes and armor and tie it to his forehead, and said sharply: "The soldiers of the Yan Yan Army listen to the order, today we will take filial piety to the expedition, extinguish the Western Xia, and pay tribute to the spirit of the Empress Dowager in the sky!" ”

There was a deathly silence in the entire school yard!

After a while, all the soldiers suddenly burst into a bang, and everyone shouted in unison with tears: "Take filial piety to go on the expedition, extinguish the Western Xia, and pay tribute to the spirit of the Empress Dowager in the sky!" This cry is clearly like a tsunami in the mountains, but it is faintly filled with a bit of down-to-earth sadness, which is unforgettable in people's ears for a long time.

The mourning soldiers will win!

Murong reminisced about the affection he had with the Empress Dowager over the years, and his eyes were slightly red at this time, and he tore off his robe and tied it on his forehead like Yan Yanjun to bring filial piety to the Empress Dowager.

But it was Meng Tai who couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that Chong Ge was acting so recklessly, and he grabbed Chong Ge's arm and shouted: "Chong Jinglu, if you ignore the holy order and act arbitrarily, aren't you afraid that the official family will punish you for the crime of resisting the decree?" ”

Disobeying the holy decree is a great crime for the nine clans, and all the soldiers can't help but look at the seed with apprehension.

I saw that he was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled, and said loudly: "Soldiers, do you still remember what Prince Yue said when he received twelve gold medals in Zhuxian Town and ordered his class to return to the court?" ”

When he asked this, Murong Fu let out a "pop" in his heart, and said secretly: It's over!

Who knew that all the soldiers of the Yan army laughed loudly at this time, and shouted loudly: "The general is outside, and the king's order is not affected!" ”

"Good!" He immediately saluted the soldiers in the audience and said loudly: "Brothers, pull out the camp!" Let's go! ”

"Pull out the camp! Let's go! Pull out the camp! Let's go! "100,000 soldiers shouted in unison, and the majestic and stirring cries were like a monstrous wave rising from the ground, vowing to stir up the wind and clouds and change the world!

From hell to heaven, that's it! I saw Murong Fu trembling his arm to support Ma Juan, and said in disbelief: "Lord Yue received twelve gold medals...... Isn't it said that 'the king's order is difficult to disobey'? ”

Unbeknownst to him, Ma Juan glanced at him with disdain, and said in a low voice: "My lord, hide clumsy!" Hidden! ”

Murong Fu choked immediately, and then suddenly remembered that "The Complete Biography of Yue Yue" had already been transformed by Qin Guan. Senior Brother Qin, I will never forget your great kindness today! Murong Fu burst into tears in an instant, only to see him bow his head and take out two copies of the music from his sleeve and hand it to Ma Juan and said, "These two pieces, you will send the first one for me today, and the second one will be sent three days later, remember!" Remember! ”

Murong Fu was going to go out with the army, but Ma Juan was left behind to take care of his family. Seeing that Murong Fu was down to business, he immediately nodded and said categorically: "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will never dare to delay the big thing!" ”

"You guys! You ......" Seeing that there was no way to return to the sky, Meng Tai couldn't help but sigh weakly. "That's it! I'm going with you! ”

"Lord Meng, aren't you afraid of the crime of resisting the decree?" He laughed.

Meng Tai's eyes widened, and he made a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water and said: "This official will fight with Jingluo, but if you have the merit of size, you can also redeem the merit!" If the official family does not recognize it...... If you don't recognize it...... I'll go home and farm!" ”

"Good! Good! Good! Meng Tai was so frank, and he was also excited, and he couldn't help but sigh three times in a row.

Murong Fu was also full of emotion when he heard this conversation in his ears, he knew that they would definitely win this battle! With such soldiers who sacrifice their lives and forget their lives, and such loyal officials who serve the country, if the victory in this war does not belong to them, who else can it belong to?!
