Chapter 382: Gong Gao (The first shift, the last day to ask for a monthly pass)
Xie Dongli has always given a sense of being polite and gentle as jade, even if he puts on armor and stands in front of you with an army, he also has a bright breeze and moon, which makes people feel like sitting in the spring breeze.
He doesn't look like a fierce and brave man, let alone a butcher who kills, but when he stands in front of you and coldly says "do it", no one can ignore the determination in his tone.
Qi Xuesheng, the empress of Nanzheng State, had not yet come back to her senses, and only caught a glimpse of the sword light in the corner of her eye, and the crown prince Zheng Cheng behind her let out a miserable scream, holding her wrist dripping with blood, and suddenly knelt down on the steps.
Queen Qi Xuesheng turned her head sharply and saw that the little finger of the prince Zheng Cheng's left hand had been cut off!
The figure of a guard beside Xie Dongli flickered, picked up the little finger of the prince Zheng Cheng from the ground, returned to Xie Dongli's horse, and held the little finger high.
Xie Dongli glanced at it and nodded to Ah Shun.
Ah Shun hurriedly took the little finger of the crown prince Zheng Cheng into his small box.
"Prince Yuan's matter is over, Xie is waiting for the Wu family to be wiped out." Xie Dongli bowed slightly to Emperor Changxing on the horse, "When does His Majesty Emperor Changxing plan to leave for the capital?" β
Emperor Changxing's face was indifferent, and he nodded, "Please wait and see what Generalissimo Xie is." With that, he turned around and walked into Beizhuang, as if he didn't take the army of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom in his eyes.
The sergeants and guards of Nan Zhengguo breathed a sigh of relief and had a little more confidence in his Imperial Majesty.
Empress Qi Xuesheng glared at Xie Dongli fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "Generalissimo Xie, it's so late." Are you still waiting here for dinner? β
The corners of Xie Dongli's lips curled slightly, and he said, "Why not?" As long as the queen is willing to stay with our Dongyuan army for dinner. β
This is just another village of the royal family of Nanzheng Kingdom, of course, it will not leave the army of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom for dinner =_=......
"We don't have that much food here. I'm afraid that the army of your country is hungry, so please go back. Empress Qi Xuesheng turned around and ordered someone to carry the crown prince Zheng Cheng and the crown princess Wu Qingqing in, and waved her hand, "Generalissimo Xie is going to leave or not." β
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Xie Dongli arched his hand and left with the army of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.
They were quite numerous, and they were still in good order when they retreated.
The people of the Southern Zheng Kingdom knew that the right army of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom was the weakest of the armies of the three major princes of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, but now they saw their military appearance. Nan Zheng Guoren was shocked.
If the weakest sergeant has such a lineup momentum, then how powerful is the other two armies!
After the battle of Daxingcheng, Dongyuan has always been regarded as a "weak chicken". The Southern Zheng Kingdom and the Northern Qi Kingdom, which were completely ignored, began to look at the Eastern Yuan Kingdom with admiration.
In the final analysis, the struggle between countries and trying to convince people with virtue is a fool's fork.
between countries. What is pursued is fear of power and not obedience to morality. In other words, justice and justice are within the range of the bow and arrow.
If you want to protect your family and defend the country, you must have soldiers who are not afraid of death, and you must also have strategists who are loyal to the country.
β¦β¦
As soon as Xie Dongli and their army withdrew to the Daxing City of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, the royal family of the Southern Zheng Kingdom hurriedly drove back to the capital.
As soon as they arrived in the capital, the crown prince Zheng Cheng, with the support of the remaining few people of the Wu family, staged a coup d'Γ©tat in the capital of Southern Zheng State, forcing Emperor Changxing to abdicate.
Qi Xuesheng, the empress of Southern Zhengguo, claimed to be sick. took his men and horses back to his mother's home, the Northern Qi Kingdom, to recuperate.
The forbidden army around Emperor Changxing fought with the prince's men and horses, and they only had time to take Emperor Changxing out of the palace of Nanzheng State. Flee into the mountains and disappear.
Nan Zhengguo suddenly fell into civil strife.
The Northern Qi State immediately sent troops to invade the Southern Zheng State under the guise of helping the Empress Qi Xuesheng find Emperor Changxing, occupying several cities bordering the Southern Zheng State and the Northern Qi State.
When the news of the civil strife in Nanzheng reached the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, Xie Dongli was on the way back to the capital with his army.
"Lord Marshal! The Southern Zheng State had a spies to report, the crown prince Zheng Cheng forced the palace, Emperor Changxing disappeared, the queen returned to the Northern Qi State, and the Northern Qi raised troops and occupied several cities in the Southern Zheng State! With a smile on his face, Ah Shun told Xie Dongli the news that the spies had just gotten.
Xie Dongli nodded slowly and said with a smile: "Prince Nan Zhengguo has finally made a move......
He wanted to exterminate the Wu family, although it was not entirely to sweep away the forces behind the prince of Nan Zhengguo, but in fact he achieved this goal.
"What shall we do? Do you want to go back quickly and kill Nan Zhengguo by surprise?! Ah Shun rubbed his palms and shook his fists, and said with great interest.
"No, you don't." Xie Dongli shook his head, "Nan Zhengguo's strength is more than that. Now it's their royal turmoil, and it's hard for us to interfere. But......" Xie Dongli paused, "you send this news back to the capital quickly, especially to let Zheng Hao know." β
"Yes!" Ah Shun comprehended, hurriedly responded, and hurried back to the capital.
Yingsleeve turned out from behind the screen and said worriedly: "What are you telling Zheng Hao about this?" He's going to marry my cousin soon......"
Xie Dongli glanced at her, "This is also for your cousin's good." Wait a little longer, your cousin won't be marrying a commoner prince without a title. β
Yingsleeve's heart moved, and her eyes lit up, "You mean, it is possible for my cousin to be the crown princess?!" β
Zheng Cheng, the crown prince of Nan Zheng Guo, and others conspired against him, as long as Emperor Changxing can be found out, the prince Zheng Cheng is just a "death" word, and as soon as he dies, Zheng Hao will be the largest among the princes of Nan Zheng Guo.
Although Zheng Hao has invited himself to be a commoner, he wants to restore his position as a prince, which is a matter of Emperor Changxing's words.
Xie Dongli smiled and asked her to sit down, "It's up to Zheng Hao." If he wants to, he can naturally be the crown prince. If he doesn't want to, can you force him to fail? So tell him the news first and see what he chooses. β
Yingsleeve nodded again and again, and said, "I hope it won't be delayed for too long, my cousin is still waiting to get married." β
Xie Dongli smiled and shook his head, these women know how to get married......
He wrote and sealed the letter in his hand, and said to Yingsleeve: "There are two days left to arrive in the capital." I'll have you sent you back first. β
Ying Sleeve knew that Xie Dongli had returned triumphantly this time, and there would be a grand ceremony waiting for them in the capital.
She should have left sooner.
"Hmm. Then I'll go first. Yingsleeve hurriedly answered, stood up, and she took two steps. Thinking of something, he turned to look at Xie Dongli and said worriedly: "You went back this time, have you thought of any countermeasures?" β
"What countermeasures?" Xie Dongli raised his eyes and looked at her with interest, and a trace of essence flashed in his eyes.
ββ¦β¦ Do you still need me to remind you? Ying Sleeve couldn't help but roll her eyes, she knew that this guy was as slippery as a fox, and ordinary people were not qualified to frame him. However, I am not afraid of 10,000, I am only afraid of what if. Right?
Xie Dongli played with the tiger talisman in his hand, and said with a smile: "You mean, the merit is high, or is it." Flying birds. Good bow hidden, cunning rabbit dead, lackey cooked? β
Ying Sleeve retracted his smile and looked at him worriedly, "You're prepared, aren't you?" β
There are many thieves in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, Ying Sleeve knows it, and Xie Dongli also knows it.
Ants are small. But there are many of them, and they rush to the top. It can also gnaw elephants down to skeletons.
Xie Dongli closed his eyes, nodded and said, "I know, don't worry." β
As long as Yingsleeve leaves, Xie Dongli can immediately "do it".
In the middle of the night, Ying Sleeve secretly left the army camp, and under the escort of Xie Yin, he took a small road to the capital of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.
Early the next morning, in the capital of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, Vice Minister Zhang, Vice Minister Wang, Vice Minister Lu, and Prime Minister Shen Dacheng among the five prime ministers, all gathered in the imperial study of Emperor Yuan Hong to discuss matters.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Another fierce general! Zhang Shaohong smiled at Emperor Yuanhong, "This time Generalissimo Xie really opened our eyes, this small deputy position can no longer accommodate him, Your Majesty, are you considering giving him the title of marquis?" As he spoke, he glanced at Changxing Hou Murong Chen and Wanning Hou Ning Penghou, who were silently beside him.
It has been a long time since the Eastern Yuan Kingdom has been knighted for military exploits.
It's not that there is no knighthood, but that there is no military merit.
In the past 30 years, the Eastern Yuan Kingdom has basically not fought such a high-profile battle.
"That's right! Such a talented person who is meticulous in Wen Taowu is really rare. Vice Minister Wang said with a smile, "The ancestors of our founding country back then were nothing more than that. β
These words are clearly deprecating and extremely damaging, which simply implies that Xie Dongli has the potential to rebel.
The smile on Emperor Yuan Hong's face did not change, but his expression was slightly suffocated.
Prime Minister Shen Dacheng saw it in his eyes, and his heart was anxious, but he couldn't think of a way to say it for a while, so he had to quickly change the topic and said, "This time, Prince Yuan heard that he was rescued, but he was only cut off his finger. However, Xie Dongli also cut off the fingers of the crown prince and the crown princess of Nan Zhengguo, which can be regarded as a tooth for a tooth. β
Emperor Yuan Hong nodded, smiled and did not speak.
Zhang Shaohong hurriedly said: "I think Dongli has gone too far in this matter. Although Prince Yuan suffered a loss, but in a fit of anger, he went to cut off the fingers of the crown prince and the crown princess of Nanzheng Kingdom, if the emperor of Nanzheng State was a little bloody, he would have already started a war against our Dongyuan Kingdom, wouldn't it be a big loss because of a small loss? β
"Hehe, Vice Minister Zhang, what do you mean by this? Isn't the finger of our Prince Yuan a finger? When they cut off the fingers of our Prince Yuan, weren't they afraid that we would have blood, and in a fit of rage, we would also wage war against the southern Zheng Kingdom? Wan Ninghou sneered and said, very disapprovingly of his statement.
Zhang Shaohong's mind didn't turn for a while.
For some people who come and kneel as slaves for a long time, and you make him stand up and tell him that we don't have to be slaves anymore, he will still think that you are lying to him......
"Marquis Wanning, you don't really want to go to war with Nan Zhengguo, do you?! You know, the Wu family is just a family of Nan Zhengguo, and they can occupy our Daxing City, and then we used a large army to take it back, do you have any misunderstanding of our military strength, do you think we can single out Nan Zhengguo's army? People are just playing with us! Zhang Shaohong was very unhappy that Xie Dongli was in the limelight, and gave him eye medicine openly and secretly.
Changxing Marquis Murong Chen couldn't listen to it anymore, sneered, and said, "Vice Minister Zhang, I think you have a misunderstanding of the military strength of our Eastern Yuan Kingdom. We may not be able to defeat the Northern Qi army, but against the Southern Zheng State, we really don't need to kneel and lick. β
"That's it!" Emperor Yuanhong snorted, "Let you discuss the issue of rewarding this time, not for you to say cool things." Forget it, you go back and write the recital and hand it in. After speaking, he remembered something again, and said, "Didn't the queen go back to the Northern Qi Kingdom?" Why did you go to Daxing City again? β
Everyone didn't know about it, so they shook their heads and left.
β¦β¦
Xie Dongli led the army on the way back to the capital, but on the way to spend the night on the last night, an assassin suddenly attacked the Shuai camp and stabbed Xie Dongli to serious injury.
When the news reached the capital, the people and officials in the capital were in an uproar, and they vowed to arrest the murderer of Generalissimo Xie.
Some officials who had been connected in tandem and planned to impeach Xie Dongli for "supporting the army and respecting themselves," "having no monarch," "being arrogant and domineering," and "indiscriminately killing the people" had no choice but to silence their flags and not dare to sprinkle salt on Xie Dongli's wounds at the cusp of this storm.
When Yingsleeve heard the news, she immediately burst into tears, immediately got on her horse, broke out of the city gate alone, and ran to the military camp where Xie Dongli was parked outside the city.
