Chapter 13 Choosing the Elite
How do you know that another traitor has made a statement to Emperor Ming's mourning, saying that the Jiu Ming Mu clan is already trying to escape when they see that their fellow sect is trapped and their hearts are broken!
Emperor Ming Ai immediately ordered the Jiuming Mu clan to send 20,000 horses and horses to gallop to Qingmi, there must be no mistake!
Jiu Ming Mu begged bitterly: In a small place, there are less than 20,000 elite people, how can you draw another 20,000? The road is far away, and the rush to help is half the effort, but it threatens the defense of Jiuming's side, why bother?
The more he listened to his explanation, the more he refused, the more disgusted he became. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jiuming Mu had no choice but to pull out a team of people, known as 20,000 people, to go to Qingmi to rescue his family.
It was only halfway to the road, and sure enough, there was a general on Wang Chen's side who pulled up the army and went to fight Jiuming.
What's even more unfortunate was that Qingmi also had news at that time: the family was defeated.
Jiu Ming Mu's love is broken, and the Mu family over there is more than lucky, and it is useless to rush there. He issued a military order, ordering the team to choose the elite to return to Jiuming as soon as possible to save his own people. The three words "choose the elite" are quite exquisite.
Afterwards, others reported to Emperor Ming Ai: Jiu Ming Mu sent people and horses according to the king's orders, claiming to be 20,000 people, in fact, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they can't fight at all. As soon as the news of Qingmi's murder came out, the Jiu Ming Mu clan transferred back the only elite among the 20,000 people, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were all left on the road, with murderous intentions!
After Emperor Ming Ai heard this, he hated Jiu Ming Mu for being too selfish, and mourned that Qing Mi Mu died too miserably. Later, Qingmi was recovered, and it was already a scorched earth. The Mu clan of the Qingmi family not only perished, but also had no bones. Emperor Ming Wai personally wrote a eulogy, with the sentence "The green mountains bury loyal bones everywhere, and the scorched earth is all I bain". As an emperor, Emperor Ming Ai's merits are varied, and the coffin is still inconclusive, but his poetry, especially calligraphy, is well-known.
His title of "I Mu" actually did not include the Jiuming Mu clan. Because soon Jiu Ming came with good news, saying that he had defended Jiu Ming and repelled the enemy, but there was no joy on Emperor Ming's face.
The imperial court then issued a commendation decree to Jiu Ming, in which Jiu Ming Mu Youyou was given to the crown prince. It is clear that it is Rong'en, but in fact, he wants to take Mu Youyou as a hostage to prevent the Jiu Ming Mu clan from really rebelling.
This Mu Youyou is not an ordinary person, she is the only daughter of the Jiuming Mu family, and she is a female general in the army. Where would she be willing to marry a prince and leave her hometown and brother?
However, the emperor's order has been issued, and he must not obey it, otherwise it will be a rebellion against the decree.
Jiu Ming Mu has guarded the border for the country for many years, and he is brave and loyal, but he really doesn't want to take on the name of rebellion at this moment.
What's more, the world is in turmoil, if the Jiu Ming Mu clan rebels, I don't know how much the situation will deteriorate, and I don't know how many Li people will die because of it.
Jiu Ming Mu faced a difficult choice, and Mu Youyou himself was even more broken, swallowed tears, and said to his relatives: "I'll go." ”
She was ordered to enter Beijing, and when she saw the walls of the capital, she committed suicide.
She did not resist the decree, but only used death to express the resentment in her heart and the situation that it was difficult to obey.
A woman like her, in the face of thousands of troops, can exhale and fight hard. If you have a choice, how can you die?
When Emperor Ming Ai heard this, he was furious. But anyone who has a heart, when they hear about this, will sigh, or at least hang their heads.
And Emperor Ming's reaction was actually furious. After this person has been the emperor for a long time, his heart is indeed different from ordinary people.
How angry is the Emperor Wailing? Mu Youyou's corpse will be broken into thousands of pieces. However, he was not really crazy after all, and he knew that this would not be the case, so the official statement that Jiuming Mu got was: Mu Youyou died of a sudden illness. The emperor was very sad, and specially named the prince of Jiuming as the prince's companion, and the princess, who set off for his post and got married on the same day.
What a fucking edict! If a daughter dies, ask someone to send another son as a hostage!
This is also the Emperor of Ming Ai for Mu Youyou's death, angry, but also scared in his heart, worried that the Jiuming Mu clan would raise troops to take revenge, and hurriedly forced them to show their loyalty again, and it was also necessary to weaken their power.
If Mu Youyou is the heart and liver of the Jiuming Mu family, this world is the hands. After losing both hands, how can you take revenge on the royal family? Emperor Ming Ai thought so. If the Jiu Ming Mu clan does not comply, then they have other ambitions, and they must be resolutely annihilated as if they were rebels!
Under such circumstances, Jiu Ming Mu still knocked out his front teeth and bloody throat, received the grace, sent the prince to Beijing, and told him thousands of times, the son must not die! At this time, if you are also angry and die, only the relatives will be happy and the enemies will be happy.
The prince of Jiu Ming nodded, asking the elders to rest assured. He's going to put the big picture first! He did keep his promise and went to Mingjing to be a hostage. The relationship between Emperor Wai and Jiu Ming has been temporarily eased.
Then, Wang Chen's rebel troops divided into different routes, marching all the way to the army division, and cutting off the support of Jiuming and other military regions to the central government.
Jiu Ming, who lost the two young talents of Mu Youyou and Shizi, parried very hard and was completely unable to break through the defense line.
To add insult to injury: Beihai Zhu Yunmo mutinied.
As soon as the Zhu family rebelled, the northern kingdom fell, and rumors spread.
The rumor that Emperor Ming heard was that the Jiu Ming Mu clan had also rebelled. That's what he suspected. He trusted his own judgment so much, and the rumor was so clever in pandering to his psyche. He was convinced.
He put the prince of Jiu Ming to death in a very cruel way. When people are afraid, they are more cruel than usual.
In the short time that he was besieged, how many cruel things happened in Mingjing, it was difficult for the most curious people to remember them all.
And the death of the prince of Jiu Ming was quickly reported back to Jiu Ming. Since the Jiuming Mu clan didn't really surrender, Wang Chen didn't mind helping them. For example, to send them sad news.
That rumor was not invented by Wang Chen. There were already enough rumors on the market, and Wang Chen's spy was at most adding fuel to the fire. In fact, they were a bit of a psychological burden at first. After all, I feel that as a time-tested soldier, I feel a little embarrassed to come up with this kind of Ba Po mission. What's more, instead of killing people on the battlefield, they want to create rumors about the Jiu Ming Mu clan...... Alas! They admire Mu a lot!
But looking at it later, all kinds of people in the Bright Empire are happy to make rumors about all kinds of people, and they don't blush. There's nothing to be ashamed of! This group of mollusks who are spoiled in their shells and do not know the height of the earth deserve to be cut off and burned with their hands and feet.
Wang Chen did boil Ming Jing in the most chopped way. In the end, the only one who could escape from the Bright Royal Family was Li Tianyao.
And for the rest of the non-royal magnates in Mingjing, Wang Chen did not show more mercy. Maybe he was ruthless, maybe he was bloodthirsty, maybe he had already started cultivating evil laws and was ruthless, or maybe he was just disappointed in humanity in general and therefore didn't care. Who knows?
Even historians don't know Wang Chen's psychology, and they don't even care. They only need to remember "In the first year of the bloody storm, Wang Tu Mingjing." ”
In the first year of the so-called blood storm, when Wang Chenhuo burned the Ming capital, the late Ming Emperor touched the carved railing on the tallest building in the capital and murmured: "Blood storm." ”
As mentioned earlier, the late Ming Emperor's attainments in writing and calligraphy are well-known. The two words he uttered, as an accurate description of that night, have since become the chronology of the last year of the Empire of Light.
The Empire of Light, on that night, changed its yuan to a bloody storm, and it also fell on that night.
It is commendable that the Mu clan of Jiuming, even after receiving the news of the death of the prince, did not open the city wall to Wang Chen.
The son of Jiu Ming died a very tragic death. Before his death, Emperor Ming Ai, out of too much spare time and too distorted interest preferences, learned some methods of torture of the human body, and under the fear of destroying the country, he vented happily on the body of the prince of Jiuming.
Wang Chen's spies didn't need to add fuel to his death. In fact, they need to be a little more tactful, lest the sufferer hear it and not accept it and not want to believe it.
It was indeed very difficult for the Jiuming Mu family to accept this fact, but they still resolutely guarded Jiuming, that is, they did not rebel, and they did not claim to be the king and hegemon. God knows what they want to wait for!
Maybe their loyalty and patriotism are engraved into the bone marrow, and they don't know what to do except be loyal! Education in the Empire of Light has been improved and tempered over countless generations, and the results are outstanding. It's just that their empire's own emperor doesn't believe in the results of his systematic brainwashing, and he cuts off his hands and feet and destroys the Great Wall.
That Wang Chen defeated the capital and personally led the army to the city of Jiuming to persuade the Mu clan to surrender.
His method of persuasion was very simple and crude: a heavy siege of the city. If you don't surrender, all the people will starve to death with you.
In this case, the Jiu Ming Mu clan fell. At this time, there was no formal Imperial Court of Light. They can't be called rebels either. Helping the new master, they cleaned up some places, most of them were bandits and grass kings, and they were not in the first place, and they would almost only be a disaster behind closed doors, so it was better to clean up and put them under the unified management of the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, although the Jiu Ming Mu clan was transferred from the old master to the new master, no one could laugh at them for being disloyal. A straight-hearted person like Da Ying who is determined to the ground, when he sees an ordinary retainer of the two sexes, he has to snort in his nose, but when he saw Chenxing's background, he didn't even dare to put a fart, but as if he had done something wrong, there was a kind of shame of lowering his ears and holding his tail, Ren Chenxing carried his hands and was majestic in the mountains and rivers:
"Then I am the Jiu Ming Mu clan, the upper and lower stars, and the Xuanwu Captain!"
"It's very dragging." This is Si Ling's secret evaluation of him. And it seems to be dragging even more than her princess! After all, their family has reached the realm of "I don't owe the world, and everyone in the world owes me".
Then, it is easy to estimate what Mu Chenxing will do next: expose the truth, take away the soldiers who helped him rob the prison, and participate in Shen Yiluo on the table. Maybe there will be oil and vinegar added to the seal, and what opponent of the Mu clan will be pulled into the water? It's hard to say.
Mu Chenxing himself may still be young and can't think of many means, but the ancient family behind him will definitely make up for all the shortcomings, give full play to his credits, and squeeze the greatest benefits for the whole family.
How can a family that can survive in troubled times, regain glory, and occupy all moral praise, for a hundred years, how can they all be fools in power? Si Ling was not surprised that they gave birth to a smart and aged genius child like Chenxing.
The genius child has a lot of grudge against her: "You already know my identity." What is your purpose? "Wouldn't it be as simple as just to take a look at "what kind of child is Captain Xuanwu"?
Si Ling smiled: "My purpose is a long story. ”
The implication is that this is not the place to speak. Let's take your soldiers out of prison and into your barracks, and let's talk again!
Mu Chenxing nodded. And the group went to the prison. As a lieutenant who has been stationed in the city for a long time, he is very concerned about the location of the prison. He's still quite familiar. showed his military seal all the way, and no one was embarrassed.
"Is this the little boy beside the captain? The lieutenant sent him on an errand? As they walked past, the guards exchanged words and discussions. It turned out that none of them recognized the true face of Captain Xuanwu. It turned out that Chen Muxing knew that he was young, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to convince the public, so he usually came out to meet people only when he wore golden helmets and iron armor and painted his face with extremely powerful tiger stripes.
The armor covered three sides of his face, and then smeared black and yellow lines on the sides, so that people could not really see his face at all.
In this way, it is also beneficial, when he has special circumstances that require a mission, such as rescuing Yang Qun, he will open his eyes and tell nonsense to Si Ling that he is a child in the bandit's den, and he is not afraid to go all the way.
Ah of course, in the end, Si Ling still exposed his true identity. It has nothing to do with his face, though.
As for now in the city guard's mansion, Chenxing comes and goes with military talismans, and people think that he is sent by the commander to be on an errand, and he does not correct it.
Anyway, with this military talisman, he can already ask someone to help him run an errand: "Go to the city wall to spread the message, tell the Xuanwu not to worry, the captain will be there soon." At this time, it was almost dawn, and everyone was already very uneasy about the tension by the city wall, and when they heard the right words, they hurriedly rushed to deliver the message. Li Yan yawned and said, "You guys go to prison?" It's too bad there, so I won't go. Let me go out of the city and wait for your good news. ”
He was not expected to play any role in prison. In fact, it should be enough for Chenxing to go alone. Si Ling wants to go, but it's just to see and listen more, and find out information.
Since Li Yan didn't have that kind of curiosity, he looked really tired, so everyone left with him first. The rest of Chenxing and the others soon arrived at the prison.
It didn't matter if they arrived at the prison compound, no one came to see their cards or check their identities, but arrows and ropes flew in front of them! The arrows had no iron heads, because the iron arrows were only available to the army and could only be used after completing the formalities if necessary. And here it is only the officials, who only use wooden arrows. The hardwood is sharpened, and the blood can be seen when the person is shot, and the pain can be increased by smearing the salt, and the poisoning effect can be added if you wipe a mouse medicine or something~ (To be continued.) )
