"Stop, the general has an order, no one is allowed to leave the city, and those who violate the order will be beheaded. The carriage was ten feet away from the city gate when the angry rebuke of the guards was heard.

"Phew. The coachman grabbed the reins, beckoned to the soldiers who were shouting, looked at the soldiers who were coming, took out the token from his arms, and whispered: "Go out of the city by the order of the general." ”

"Commander Wu, forgive the little clumsiness, why are you here, why are you dressed like this. The soldier walked in, only to find that the driver of the car was actually Commander Wu, and looked at him with a stunned face, and then looked at the carriage behind him. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Commander Wu is a coachman, is it a general inside?"

"Presumptuous, is this what you should be asking?"

Commander Wu's low reprimand made the soldiers tremble, and his hands trembled as he returned the token, saying, "Yes, the little one is mouthy, Commander Wu Haihan." ”

"The matter of leaving the city today must not be leaked, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law. Saying that, Commander Wu jumped into the carriage and said, "Why are you still standing here, go open the door." ”

"Driving ......"

The carriage drove out of Mocheng, and there were three people in the car, only one of whom was as steady as Mount Tai. The other two stared at each other, looking at each other helplessly.

"Brother Chen, I really didn't expect that he would personally escort him to Kyoto, if I knew that this was the case, I would definitely not agree. Li Wanwan looked at Chen Yichen innocently, thinking that he was just an ordinary coachman, but a commander came to be a coachman.

"It's okay, there should be a chance to escape. While Chen Yichen comforted her, he was also extremely helpless. Turning his head to see Xiao Zichen calming down, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zichen, how many days does Mocheng take to travel from Kyoto?"

"Three days on a fast horse, at our pace, I'm afraid it will take eight or nine days to reach Kyoto. Xiao Zichen smiled and comforted: "You two might as well listen to me and take the car steadily." When I get to Kyoto, I'll find a way to send them home. ”

"I don't know how much time I waste. Chen Yichen shook his head and said, "It's better to look for an opportunity to slip away on the road." ”

"What Brother Chen said makes sense. Li Wanwan seemed to approve of his plan. "We can wait for him to fall asleep at night and then sneak away." ”

"It's not me who hits both. Xiao Zichen said confidently: "Since you can send a commander to escort you, you must have a deep meaning, if the two insist on escaping, I am afraid that it will lead to unwarranted right and wrong." ”

"What right and wrong can there be, does he dare to kill people and kill people. Chen Yichen subconsciously turned his head to look at the back outside, secretly wondering what the possibility was.

"Not really. Xiao Zichen looked at the two of them meaningfully, and said slowly: "I just think that this trip is not simple. ”

"Brother Chen, let's take the opportunity. After listening to Xiao Zichen's words, Li Wanwan was a little more worried, and said: "If there is really no chance, it is not a good thing for us to go to Kyoto." ”

"Good. Chen Yichen nodded, but his heart was confused. I vaguely felt that I was sent to Kyoto, and I was afraid that it had nothing to do with last night's incident. I'm afraid that's ***, and at this time, the only people who know about this matter are the commander of the car and himself. In order not to worry Juan'er, she finally buried the matter deep in her heart.

For several days, Chen Yichen was always looking for an opportunity to escape. And Commander Wu always appeared in front of him at a critical moment as if he knew it in advance. Chen Yichen began to wonder if he was a human or a ghost, so didn't he sleep.

Dachen Kyoto-Luancheng.

After days of gloomy weather, the clouds finally cleared in the early morning, and unlike the previous days, the whole of Kyoto was covered in snow. This year's snow seems to be much earlier than usual, and the weather is getting colder, so Kyoto is covered in white and covered in snow.

"Prime Minister Jin, you're early. This mink is good. ”

"Hey, it turned out to be Lord Liu, you were early enough, why didn't you take a sedan chair today, but came on horseback. ”

"Alas, there is no way, the city is covered with heavy snow, the road is difficult to walk, I am afraid that it will be too late for the court. ”

"This snow did come a little early, and even this dress was made overnight. But this heavy snow came in time, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, this is God bless me Chen Guotai Min'an, Lord Liu. ”

"What Prime Minister Jin said is extremely true. However, I heard that the war in the southwest was beginning to appear, and a few days ago, the Yan army attacked our border town at night. ”

"Hahaha, isn't this famous? Lord Liu doesn't have to worry, I'm Da Chen, tens of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals have already rushed to the border, and I am afraid that they will arrive soon. When my heavenly soldiers come, the barbarian state will be full of urine. ”

As soon as the gate of the imperial capital opened, all the adults got off their horses and got off the sedan chair. The roads in the Imperial City are covered with snow, and I don't know when they have already cleared to both sides. The ministers walked to the main hall and talked all the way.

"Da Chen's law, if there is a war at the border, you can break into the palace and go straight to the sky. If anyone stands in the way, shoot and kill. Da Chen's law ordered, there is a war at the border, and you can break into the palace on horseback to hear it to the sky. If anyone stands in the way, shoot and kill. ”

Accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, the shouts from behind him caused the ministers to slow down their pace, and they all stood aside and looked back. I saw a soldier riding a tall horse, entering from the gate of Huangcheng, galloping all the way, ignoring many adults on the road.

"What's going on?"

"Is there a battle report at the border gate?"

"Could it be that the rebel army of the Yan Kingdom has launched a war against me. ”

"This battle is still going on in the end, and I don't know how the battle is going?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't speculate. Prime Minister Jin Cheng, who was dressed in mink, saw that the soldiers had already gone away, waved his hands lightly, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, listen to me, this matter cannot be criticized for the time being, and it is better to discuss it after meeting Your Majesty." ”

There was a rush of footsteps in the corridor, which caused the eunuchs in the palace to look around from time to time, and secretly said in their hearts: I don't know which blind slave is so presumptuous, if he startles His Majesty, I am afraid that even he will be reprimanded.

"What's going on out there?" said the man on the bed, half-leaning, in his fifties, holding a book in his hand, but his eyes were still glued to the book in his hand as he spoke.

The person who spoke was the generation of monarchs of the Great Chen Empire, Emperor Jing.

"Your Majesty, it snowed heavily last night, I'm afraid it was the sound made when clearing the snow. The eunuch who was waiting on the side was shocked into a cold sweat, afraid of something, and hurriedly said: "The old slave will go and tell them to be quiet." ”

After turning around, the father-in-law let out a sigh of relief, and walked out the door with broken steps. When he was about to reach the door, a little eunuch suddenly came in outside, and when he saw the father-in-law in charge, he lowered his voice out of breath and said a few words in his ear. His originally angry face gradually became shocked, and when the little eunuch finished speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for him to retreat.

"Your Majesty, there is a messenger from Mocheng to report. When the father-in-law spoke, his eyes peeked at the emperor on the bed, and his head thought of various contingencies.

"Mocheng?" Emperor Jing was stunned for a moment, the book in his hand was not held steady for a while, fell on his leg, and said, "Pass quickly." ”

"The messenger of the city of Chuan Mo has come to see you. ”

As soon as the end of the sentence fell, the soldiers entered the room under the leadership of the eunuch, and they were still three zhang away from the emperor, knelt on the ground, and said, "The last general will join Your Majesty." ”

"Excuse me, what are you doing in Kyoto, and is there a war ahead?"

"Your Majesty, three days ago, the enemy army of Yan State intended to attack Mocheng at night, and the trick was discovered by General Fuji Zhe. Led 4,000 soldiers in the city, annihilated more than 7,000 enemy vanguards in one fell swoop, the rebels temporarily retreated, and our army won a great victory. ”

"Well, General Fuji Zhe really lived up to my trust. When Emperor Jing heard the victory in Mocheng, he was overjoyed.

"Your Majesty, the last general will carry a letter from the general with him, which needs to be shown to His Majesty. The soldier took out the letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands.

"Bring it up. ”

After receiving the letter from his father-in-law, Emperor Jing hurriedly tore it open, just looked at a page, looked up at the soldiers, and said, "Oh, you have worked hard, rest for a day first, and then return to Mocheng tomorrow after taking my will, wait for my own reward, retreat." ”

"Wow. ”

"God bless Da Chen, the first battle was won, and so far the first battle has terrified the enemy army. It is enough to prove that His Majesty is really a saint and a wise man, an emperor through the ages. ”

"What a saint Mingjun, an emperor through the ages, just say some. Emperor Jing glared at his father-in-law.

"Your Majesty taught you a lesson. I wanted to flatter a few words, but when I saw the emperor's face, I could only keep silent.

"Gonggong Li, who do you say is loyal and who is traitor in the court?"

"Your Majesty, spare the old slave. The old slave has served His Majesty for more than 30 years, and he has been conscientious and conscientious, and he has never thought of asking the government. Hearing the emperor's question, Gonggong Li puffed and fell to his knees.

Emperor Jing looked at the letter and said, "You old thing, I just asked casually, when did I say that you participated in the government, get up." ”

"Your Majesty, you can scare the old slave to death. Gonggong Li got up from the ground and said tentatively: "The old slave thinks that all the people in the court are finally Your Majesty, but they are just ......."

"Just what, go on, forgive your innocence. Emperor Jing put the letter away and stared at Gonggong Li with cold eyes.

"Slaves are foolish, and it is also normal for ministers to have political disagreements, and this has been the case in all dynasties. Take the conquest of Yan as an example, there is a main battle and a master, and the minions think that as long as His Majesty has a holy decree, the ministers will still work together. Gonggong Li was extremely careful every word he said, and the rest of his eyes peeked at Emperor Long Yan, for fear that he would make Long Yan angry if he said the wrong word.

"Political discord will inevitably lead to a struggle between the parties. Emperor Jing sighed and said: "Spread the decree, Mocheng won the first battle, stop the day today, wait for a banquet in the Qingyuan Pavilion, and the monarch and the ministers will celebrate together." ”

"Well, the old slave is going to deliver the decree. ”

"Slow. ”

"What else does Your Majesty command? ”

"How long has it been since the Third Prince left Kyoto?"

"Your Majesty, the third prince returned yesterday evening, and when he came to meet the saint, His Majesty had already rested. ”

"You're already back?" I don't know what Emperor Jing was thinking, he pondered for a moment and said, "Let him enter the palace to see me." ”

The news of the victory in the first battle of Mocheng soon spread in Kyoto, from the court ministers to the common people, all of whom talked about the strength of Chen Guo and the victory. And this small victory was also deliberately processed before it spread in the community. Strategically, it greatly boosted the morale of Da Chen's army and people.

"Erchen Mingxu attends Your Majesty. ”

"Flatten, give me a seat. ”

The words of the emperor are the decree of the saint. Even his son did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. During the period when Erchen left Beijing, I didn't know if His Majesty's dragon body was good. After the third prince Xiao Mingxu thanked him, he sat down slowly.

"It's very good. Emperor Jing was holding a letter in his hand over and over again, looking at the light, as if he was observing the secrecy of the letter.

"Your Majesty doesn't seem to be happy when he hears that Mocheng has won a great victory, but what's the worry?" Seeing his father's strange behavior, he didn't seem to take this matter to heart.

"Haha, happy. The first battle was a great victory, killing thousands of enemies, how could I not be happy. Obviously, Emperor Jing's laughter did not come from the heart, I just heard him say: "What I am worried about is not the war, what I am worried about is in this temple, and what I am worried about is the hearts of the people in this small imperial city." ”
