Chapter 5: The Awakening of the Emperor
The remnant sun is like blood, Xianyang Palace, the main hall.
The military commander knelt under Danxi, and on the throne was still a majestic and arrogant man, and on the other side of Danxi stood a scribe in Tsing Yi.
Time passed slowly, and the slight sound of the tick of timekeeping seemed loud in the empty hall.
After a stick of incense, there were fine beads of sweat on the tip of Meng Tian's nose, Li Si's brows were already wrinkled, he still had a good impression of this young general of the Great Qin Empire, King Qin was still carrying a faint voice with his hands, tepid but with a trace of irresistible majesty.
"Today's matter, what do you say, two thousand dragon and tiger cavalry actually let a few rebels run away like this?"
"King Qiqi, the last general lost the war, and he is willing to lead the army to engage in it."
"Military law? How does the Mo family giant compare to you? The rebellion and escape of the Mo family will threaten the eternal foundation of my Great Qin, Yan Dan's return to the Yan Kingdom will definitely boost its morale, and it will cost more troops if I want to conquer it, who will bear this responsibility? You! Meng Tian replied to the widow.
Meng Tian was silent for a long time, his face was uncertain, and there were already slight beads of sweat on his sideburns, and King Qin's face was still sinking like water, waiting for the answer of this confidant general.
Time still passed minute by minute, and finally Meng Tian's eyes regained firmness, and the heroism and wildness that crisscrossed the battlefield returned to this imperial general. I only heard Meng Tian say loudly.
"The last general is willing to be the vanguard and lead the army to capture Jicheng, take down the head of King Yan and present it to the king, and ask the king to allow the last general to make meritorious contributions."
"Oh? Meng Tian: Do you think you can really do this? An expression that seemed to be a smile appeared on King Qin's face.
"The last general is willing to gamble on the glory of the Meng family for generations and the lives of the nine clans of the Meng family, and promises the king that one day the empire will attack the Yan country, and the last general will definitely take off the head of the king of Yan with his own hands and dedicate it to the king."
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and glanced at Li Si who was standing aside, Li Si and Ying Zheng's tacit understanding was not high, and he instantly understood the meaning, so he stepped forward slightly and saluted.
"King, Weichen, please accept Meng Tian's request."
Ying Zheng gave Li Si an appreciative look and then said.
"Oh? Li Si, do you also think that the widow should agree to Meng Tian's request and allow him to make meritorious contributions? Here's why. β
"Back to the king, General Meng Tian is the general star of Great Qin, and he can be said to be the mainstay among the third generation of generals of Great Qin, and now Great Qin is actively preparing to attack the Six Kingdoms It is an eventful season, and General Meng's talent is exactly the talent that Great Qin needs, so Weichen implored the king to give General Meng a chance to make meritorious contributions."
Since Li Si said this, Ying Zheng also happened to pardon Meng Tian's crime by taking advantage of the donkey to get off the slope, but let Meng Tian go to the Tingwei Mansion to lead the army for fifty and the matter was concluded.
After Meng Tian left, Ying Zheng slowly walked down Danxi and said to Li Si beside him, "Li Si, how about accompanying the widow for a walk?" The tone was surprisingly soft, not as resolute and domineering as just now.
"Dare to disobey." The humility of the tone actually reveals the cordiality between confidants.
What kind of story did this pair of monarchs and ministers have?
The two figures stretched longer and longer in the setting sun, and as for what was said between the monarchs and ministers during this twilight stroll, no third person knew, knowing that it would be revealed after many years, and it was already a different scene in the world.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Yan country, the outskirts of Jicheng, small forest.
Suzaku has landed steadily, Yan Dan quietly looked at the city wall of Jicheng not far away, memories poured out little by little, and gradually two lines of clear tears slowly dripped down with the extension of his thoughts, but he didn't realize it, and knew that a gentle voice sounded.
"My husband is home, let's go back."
"That's right! Right! It's home, Aifei, Hong'er, let's go home. β
"The commander is in charge, and the disciples and others will retire first." Master Ban and other Mo family disciples said.
"Go, in a few days, when the situation in Yanjing is stable, I will go to the organ city, and Hong'er will accompany him at that time, and now Yingzheng must be planning his "great unification" plan, at this time, it is an eventful time to tell the disciples to be cautious and cautious, and not to be caught by the minions of the Qin State.
"Yes, the disciple respectfully obeys the order."
The people of the Mo family boarded the Vermilion Bird and headed towards the organ city, but Yan Dan also rode slowly towards the city gate, where there was his home, his relatives, his own subjects, and an unavoidable responsibility of his Yan Dan. Gradually, the city gate is near, close, the heart seems to be close, warm, quiet, this is an indescribable desire for home, and at this time Yan Hong is not so optimistic, he believes that with the heart of Yan Wang and Yan Chunjun now, the city will not face family affection, joy, but their family of three will face the competition of scheming, the confrontation of scheming, the contest of the emperor's heart, although this is not written in the history books, but born in the emperor's family, which dynasty and which generation is not so, For the laurel who symbolizes the highest power can abandon a qiΔ or even put his own life out of the way, this is the helplessness and sorrow of being born in the emperor's family, if you want to live, you must go on, and go on towards this road of no return, success is supremacy, failure is a different place, so looking at the city gate that is getting closer and closer, Yan Hong's heart is calm, his eyes are extremely firm, Yan Hong's imperial road officially began at this moment, Decades later, when he stepped on the white bones to reach the top, it was a different experience.
The city gate is near, it has arrived, the car has slowed down, it has stopped.
"Who, get checked." The Qin State is strong, and of course the Six Kingdoms have also strengthened their vigilance, and history will not deviate from the track because of the arrival of a small butterfly, or that the strength of this butterfly is not strong enough.
"Give this token to your general, and tell him to come out to see you." I saw a cyan token, the front is a big order, and the back is a unicorn stepping on the clouds, revealing majesty in the simplicity of the shape.
Xiao Xiao is also a clever person, knowing that such a token is not something that ordinary people can have, so he bowed slightly and walked briskly like a front tooth to report. After a while, the crowd suddenly quieted down, and the sound of neat armor crashing sounded, and the crowd gradually separated, and out of the middle came a group of well-trained troops, with silver armor, protecting the soldiers from head to toe, this is the most elite forbidden army of Yan State--Iron Guard. I saw a person wearing a general's uniform walk out of the procession, kneeling towards the carriage.
"The last general, Captain Tie Niu of the North Gate, sees His Royal Highness Prince Dan to welcome His Royal Highness back to the country."
What followed was the sound of bowing and bowing, which could show that the army and the people saw that this prince who was willing to sacrifice for the country still had prestige, which would be good news for Yan Hong.
The roller shutter of the carriage was pulled up, Yan Dan walked down first, the crown princess led Yan Hong and walked down slowly, and the three of them quietly watched the people present thinking about each other.
Crown Princess: [Finally home, Hong'er doesn't have to endure hardships anymore.] This is a mother's simple and unpretentious idea, but it contains infinite love and pity.
Yan Dan; [I'm back, Yingzheng, have you seen it? ] I will use all my strength to defeat you and prove to you that I am better than you. This is an oath made by a king to his opponent, unwavering.
Yan Hong: [These are my forces to dominate the world in the future, one day I will want me to this day, I can't cover my eyes anymore, I want this land, I can't bury my heart anymore, I want all living beings to understand my intentions, and I want all the princes of the world to surrender to my feet! ] This is an oath of an emperor to rule the world.
"Tie Niu, how have you been doing all these years?" The voice is cordial and peaceful, showing the bearing and demeanor of the king.
The captain named Tie Niu listened to such a cordial greeting, his eyes were red, and he choked up, and said: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, at the end of the year, you will only be one of Your Highness's personal guards, I don't want Your Highness to remember the last general, Your Highness has been trapped in the Qin State for many years, and the last general has always wanted to rescue His Highness back to China, but his soldiers are few and weak, please forgive Your Highness." β
Yan Dan looked at the guards he had personally selected back then, slowly walked to Tie Niu's side, stretched out his hand, stroked the giant hammer tied to Tie Niu's back, and said softly: "Back then, I saw that you were born with divine power, so I built this giant hammer for you, but now it is rusty, the sword is in storage, drunk and dreaming of death, is this Yan Country still our Yan Kingdom?" The Qin State is fighting and our weapons are rusty, can we still hold on to our homeland? You're going to beat me, and you're going to answer Loneβ"
"Your Highness will be incompetent in the end, and you will have to ask Your Highness to punish your Highness." "Your Highness, we are incapable of asking Your Highness to punish the crime."
All the soldiers present pleaded guilty in unison.
"What we have to do now is not to repent, not to plead guilty, but to be strong, pick up the weapons in your hands, burn your fighting spirit, and use your strength to unite together to defeat Yingzheng and defeat the tyrannical Qin."
The immature voice suddenly sounded, although it was not loud, but the moment he sounded, the audience became silent, and the needle could be heard, he was Yan Hong, he shouted his wish with that immature voice, and also shouted out the wishes of all the soldiers and civilians. Soon, the voices became one, "Defeat Yingzheng and defeat the tyrannical Qin." β
It was this sentence that made the people of Yan Kingdom remember the eldest son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the young monarch of Yan Kingdom, among which the sledgehammer and the thief foot engraved this sentence in their hearts.
Yan Dan, the crown princess looked at her eldest son in surprise, this eldest son who has been smart since childhood gave them a big surprise, in that moment Yan Dan seemed to see an emperor, because Yan Hong's body has a demeanor that he can only see in Yingzheng - the spirit of the emperor.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
A glass of wine tastes the trend, pointing to the country and looking at it.
Spread your wings and fly high one day, and I will only be drunk and free in life.
