Chapter 50: One Heart
This was the most passionate, concerted and unified speech in the history of Southern Qin.
Unite as one and attack Northern Qi.
and if there is no food, they shall donate their weapons, iron horses, and grass for the horses.
One state and county after another spread to be infected, and finally formed Punan Qin did so.
The people are loyal to the Marquis of Zhongyong, protected by the Xie family for many years, and now the Northern Qi is secretly plotting to set foot on the South Qin rivers and mountains, earlier, the border has been fought several battles, even if the Marquis Xie is not in good health, but also went to the desert north of the wind and sand to fight against the Northern Qi. The people have long known that the Northern Qi will fight the Southern Qin sooner or later, and they will not stop. Now, not only for the sake of the Southern Qin, but also for the sake of the people's own homeland, and in order to regain their dignity, not to be trampled and insulted by the Northern Qi Dynasty, and not to become ants of the country, the people have spontaneously left enough food at home for this year, went to the state and county governments, and automatically donated grain to the imperial court.
And the Northern Qi has always been secretly ambitious to raise troops, and the part of the Northern Qi Dynasty's higher taxes is used to increase national strength.
It is said that this is still the welfare sought by the people of the Xie Loyal and Yong Marquis Mansion when the dynasty was founded. In the past three hundred years, there have been several generations of emperors who want to change and increase taxes, and there has always been a loyal and brave marquis mansion, which has never changed.
For so many years, the people suddenly realized that the taxes of Southern Qin had always been lower than those of Northern Qi.
There are a lot of people, I heard that the imperial court has been preparing for war recently, because the Southern Qin Dynasty was repeatedly affected by disasters last year and this year, there has been no military reserves, and the grain, grass, soldiers, horses, and weapons are tight, it is said that the Yan Xiaohou of Yongkang Mansion in order to prepare for the war, day and night, are tired and sick, even if he is sick, he also dragged the sick body to prepare for the war, but even so, the new emperor did not order to increase taxes to the people.
With the capital as his loyalty, he spread all over the land of Southern Qin, and he was ready to fight with the Northern Qi.
For a time, the whole of Southern Qin vowed to return Xie Feng to Northern Qi.
In particular, the loyal and brave Marquis Mansion, Xie Shi, for many years, loyal to the country, daughter Xie Feng, married to the Northern Qi Dynasty, the people felt that it was a last resort, the old marquis Rong Ma all his life, for the Southern Qin, repeatedly won military exploits, defended the country, and made the people of Southern Qin peaceful for so many years. His only daughter, but married far away from the Northern Qi, so many years, although the Northern Qi Dynasty has a legend to the outside world, the king and the queen of the Northern Qi are deeply in love, but who knows if it is true or not? What did Xie Feng suffer in Northern Qi, and how could Southern Qin really know?
Up and down in Southern Qin, seeing that the Northern Qi listed in the edict had stopped all the time, the people were also aroused. Everyone was angry, bravely joined the army, and said that the Northern Qi Dynasty was too deceitful, and as the people of Southern Qin, he swore to stand on the same position with the new emperor and seek justice from the Northern Qi.
Compared with the Northern Qi Dynasty's earlier war against Southern Qin without saying a word, what they did stopped, and the secret ghost plotter, Southern Qin's war book was above board. And for good reason.
In addition, there was a fast horse from the Ministry of War, and it was urgent for 800 miles to send the war book to Mobei and submit it to Northern Qi.
The news of the early dynasty spread, and the documents announcing the world were first pasted all over the streets and alleys of Beijing, and the documents were expanded from Beijing to central China one after another, and it was not long before all the states and counties were plastered with notices announcing the world.
Qin Yu retired from the early dynasty.
Prince Ying nodded heavily.
Qin Yu waved his hand and said to Prince Ying, "The eldest uncle is still sitting in Beijing, Qin Zheng is now in Mobei, and there are many useful people in Mobei, so there is no need for the eldest uncle to go to Mobei for the time being." ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" When the courtiers heard this, they all returned to the ground, and the mountains shouted long live.
Qin Yu bowed his head, "Since all the ministers have no opinions, come here, plan to make a notice, announce to the world, Southern Qin, discuss Northern Qi, and return Miss Xie Feng of the Marquis of Zhongyong, limited to one month, if Southern Qin can't see Xie Feng who has returned intact, Southern Qin will set foot in Northern Qi in one fell swoop." When the words fell, he slapped the table and said angrily, "I hereby swear that I will not be ashamed of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and I am not worthy of being this dragon chair." ”
When the ministers heard this, they all kowtowed, "What the emperor said is very true, the ministers go to the soup and the fire, they must give an explanation to the Northern Qi, and they will not give up!" ”
Zuo Xiang's eyes rolled, and he immediately stepped forward, "Emperor Shengming!" The ambitions of the Northern Qi have disturbed my Southern Qin, and my Southern Qin is full of iron-clad sons, and he should not be bullied by this. Otherwise, if such a thing is regarded as if it did not happen, how can it be established? ”
The ministers all looked at Qin Yu.
Qin Yu nodded and agreed, "Northern Qi is indeed too deceitful, and the eldest uncle is reasonable. Northern Qi should give Southern Qin an explanation, the loyal and brave Marquis Mansion is loyal to the country, the old marquis only has a daughter Xie Feng, for many years, they have not been able to meet, and now Northern Qi should return Xie Feng. ”
Although the matter of Yu Zhaotian is too hateful now, after all, more than twenty years have passed.
It's marrying, not acceptance.
Especially Xie Feng is the queen of Northern Qi, back then, although Southern Qin was at a loss, but the king of Northern Qi married her into Northern Qi.
Everyone was silent, thinking that Xie Feng was the queen of Northern Qi, and for more than 20 years, she had a deep relationship with the king of Northern Qi, and it was also because of her that Southern Qin and Northern Qi had been peaceful for more than 20 years. Now the king of Northern Qi took Xie Feng to the palace and handed over all the court affairs to Qi Yanqing. If Xie Feng is reclaimed at this time, will the king of Northern Qi give it?
Prince Ying nodded, "Since Yu Zhaotian is not dead, and he has done these evil things, Northern Qi deceived people too much, back then, Southern Qin was at a loss, and married his daughter to Northern Qi, and now Yu Zhaotian is not dead, and Northern Qi should return Xie Feng." ”
Qin Yu looked at Prince Ying, "Are you talking about Xie Feng?" Want to go back to Xie Feng? ”
Everyone was shocked again.
Prince Ying said angrily, "Return my daughter of Nan Qin!" ”
"How does the eldest uncle ask Northern Qi for an explanation?" Qin Yu asked in a deep voice.
The ministers were shocked when they heard this, thinking that Prince Ying had been staying in the capital all along, guarding the court, and was deeply valued by the emperor, and had not set foot in Kyoto for many years. At that time, he was also both civil and military, but for many years, he did not interfere with the art of war, which made many people forget that the prince also held a sword when he was young.
Prince Ying came out and said angrily, "Northern Qi has deceived people too much, and for more than 20 years, this king and Southern Qin have been kept in the dark. It was the minister's fault back then. The minister implored the emperor to decree that the minister would go to Mobei in person, and he would inevitably ask Northern Qi for an explanation. ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't understand what the emperor thinks in his heart, and he doesn't dare to speak for a while.
When everyone's discussion quieted down, Qin Yu said angrily, "Zhongqing has been discussing for a long time, but what results have they reached?" What should I do? ”
Qin Yu looked upwards early, his face was gloomy, and he looked at the ministers who were impassionedly discussing the Northern Qi Jade Zhaotian without saying a word.
Southern Qin prides itself on being a great country that competes with Northern Qi side by side, but in the conspiracy of Northern Qi for more than 20 years, even the royal guards have been mixed into the imperial relatives of Northern Qi, which has made Southern Qin turn upside down recently, which is really a resounding slap in the face of Southern Qin.
For more than 20 years, Southern Qin was fooled by Northern Qi.
After the news came, for a while, everyone in the government and the opposition was in an atmosphere.
Many things have made Southern Qin more chaotic.
Not only did he not die, but twenty years later, he infiltrated the Southern Qin royal hermit guard and became the figure of the Hidden Mountain Hidden Guard Grandmaster, which made the royal hidden mountain hermit guard launch the Southern Qin civil strife under his instigation. In addition, he secretly instructed Li Rubi to harm Xie Fanghua and kidnap the county lord of Qin Lian......
Now Yu Zhaotian is not dead?
More than 20 years ago, because Yu Zhaotian sent an envoy to Southern Qin, after being received by Prince Ying, he fell ill and died, which made the Northern Qi angry and raised troops. Although Nan Qin later won the battle under the leadership of the Marquis of Zhongyong, because of the loss, he married a daughter to the king of Northern Qi, and she was still the lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion of Princess Zunbi.
Up and down, the government and the opposition were in an uproar.
Yu Zhaotian did not die more than 20 years ago, and the news that Qin Zheng went to Mobei to rescue Qin Lian reached the capital three days later.
Hearing this, he nodded, "Anyway, you can just be obedient." ”
Qin Lianbian flattened his mouth, "I know, I'm not really ignorant." I was caught by that dead zombie Yu Zhaotian, I didn't expect it either. ”
"The barracks don't accept female soldiers, it's better for the county lord to live here, it's best not to make trouble." Hearing this, he glanced back, and saw Xie Mohan, Wang Gui, and Qin Yi going to the council hall to discuss the matter, and he whispered, "Just don't make trouble, didn't you see that Hou Ye is thinner?" He is already in poor health, although Mobei is peaceful these days, and he has not fought again, but he has always been mentally prepared for the battle, maybe when this battle will start, you don't let Hou Ye worry about it anymore. ”
"The lord of this county is not afraid." Qin Lian jumped up and down, "I got a tan, and I happened to be a soldier in Mobei." ”
"The county lord is almost unrecognizable, and he said that me, the wind and sand in the north of the desert are big, and your skin can't help but get sunburned, wait for ten days and half a month, you can look at yourself again, it is estimated that it is darker than me." Hearing this, he muttered, thinking that this little aunt is here, and he deserves more work.
Qin Lian patted Tingyan's head, "Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, I can't recognize you when I hear you." ”
Tingyan nodded.
Xie Mohan shook his head helplessly, and instructed him, "Place the county lord in my nearest house, and you will take the county lord to freshen up and change clothes now." ”
Seeing her agree, Qin Lian almost cheered.
Xie Mohan thought for a moment when he heard this, but he really couldn't think of any good way to settle Qin Lian, so he said helplessly, "Okay, since that's the case, you can live in the barracks first." ”
Qin Lian immediately struck while the iron was hot, "I think that although there will be a war at any time, there will always be no one injured if you don't go online, is there still someone who comes to the barracks to kill the fire head army behind?" Once the war starts, I will stay in the barracks and not go out, don't tell me, you can't even protect the barracks. ”
Xie Mohan stopped talking when he heard this.
Qin Lian looked at him, and seeing that he had made up his mind, her eyes rolled, and she immediately said, "Think about it, you can't send me back to Beijing in person, you send someone else to send me, it may not be safe, although that Yu Zhaotian got out of Nanqin, but I can't help someone else to arrest me behind my back, but what should I do, I can't always let my brother save me." ”
Xie Mohan's eyebrows twisted into a rope when he heard this, "Then you can't always stay in the barracks, I came to Mobei when I asked you earlier, that's because there is no war in Mobei, and there is peace and quiet, and now Northern Qi and Mobei will start up at any time, and it is not safe here." ”
Qin Lian grabbed his sleeve and shook his head, "I'm not the county lord now. ”
Xie Mohan looked at her and threw off her sleeves, "You are the county lord, pay attention to the number of identity etiquette." ”
"No, how can one day be enough?" Qin Lian shook her head, stepped forward and grabbed Xie Mohan's sleeve, and looked at her pitifully, "Look at me, this way in order to come here to find you, the toss is not good, you originally promised my brother to take me from the capital to Mobei to see, but halfway through Lin'an City, you left me behind, you are not trustworthy." Now that my brother hasn't explained anything, that is, he agrees that I'm here, so don't rush to catch me. ”
Xie Mo stiffened his face and said, "At most, you will have a day off tomorrow, and you will have to leave and return to Beijing the day after tomorrow." ”
Qin Lian was startled, and hurriedly said, "Xie Mohan, don't drive me away now, my brother is in a hurry, send me to chase him, I will be a drag on him, isn't there no war now?" I promise that if there is a war, I will leave immediately, and I will never make trouble for you here again. ”
Someone answered "yes" and immediately stepped forward.
Xie Mohan looked at him, suddenly changed his gentleness, and said with a straight face, "Come on, send the county lord to chase after Brother Qin Zheng now, and hand over the county lord to him for placement." ”
"Isn't there no war yet?" Qin Lian made up her mind not to leave.
"Don't mess around." Xie Mohan frowned, "After all, this is a military camp, once the war starts, I won't have time to take care of you." ”
"I'm not leaving anyway." Qin Lian shook his head, "I won't leave." ”
Xie Mo choked.
Qin Lian shook her head, "Why is it inconvenient?" Didn't there be no women living in this barracks before? Don't think I don't know. Your mother and your aunt both lived in the barracks. ”
Xie Mohan shook his head, "The barracks are all men, and you are the county lord, so it is inconvenient." After you rest for the night, I will arrange for someone to send you back to Beijing. Brother Qin Zheng should have something urgent to go back to, so he didn't settle you. ”
"It's best if you don't confess." Qin Lian became happy, "I finally came to Mobei after hard work, and I was afraid that he would arrest me back just now. He didn't arrest me, which means he allowed me to stay here, which is great. ”
Wang Gui shook his head, "I didn't explain." ”
Xie Mohan glanced back at Qin Lian and said with a headache, "What should he do if he didn't explain what to do with the county lord?" Why don't you bring the county lord back with you? ”
"Little Prince Zheng should be in a hurry." Wang Gui said, "I just said that let the humble post tell the Hou Ye that he is gone." ”
Xie Mohan rubbed his eyebrows, "Why is he in such a hurry to leave?" Don't wait for me to come back? It's not a bad moment. ”
Wang Gui nodded.
Xie Mohan was stunned for a moment, "He just arrived, he didn't stop, he didn't even stand on his feet, and then he turned back?" ”
Wang Gui said, "The little prince Zheng has returned to Beijing." ”
"Where did he go?" Xie Mohan asked immediately.
Wang Gui said, "Little Prince Zheng didn't enter the barracks. ”
Returning to the Mobei military camp, Qin Zheng was nowhere to be seen, Xie Mohan immediately asked Wang Gui and Qin Yi who were guarding the military camp, "Where is Qin Zheng?" ”
Xie Mohan ordered someone to bring a horse to Qin Lian.
Qin Lian nodded.
"Since the Southern Qin and Northern Qi dynasties were separated from the north and the south, they have been quiet for many years, and there has been no major war, and now the two countries are ready to fly. It's not that we in Southern Qin don't want to fight, so we won't fight, Northern Qi has been planning for many years, and even Yu Zhaotian, who has been dead for more than 20 years, was planned by Northern Qi to fake his death, and Northern Qi has been preparing for a long time, how can it be okay to give up. Xie Mohan said with words, "Go back to the barracks." ”
"Do you have to fight?" Qin Lian frowned.
"Once the war breaks out, the smoke of gunpowder fills the air, and the blood stains the soil, this will be the Shura field, and how many souls will be buried here." Xie Mo said.
Qin Lian looked at him.
Xie Mohan smiled, "Soon Mobei will be uncomfortable." ”
Qin Lian took a deep breath, "The blue sky in the north of the desert is so good, this season in our capital is still a hot summer, right?" But Mobei is already in the autumn air, it's really comfortable. ”
Xie Mohan stopped talking.
Hearing this, Qin Lian scolded again, "This Jade Zhaotian is really hateful, not human. ”
"She's not in good health, and now I'm afraid it's even worse, but in order to reassure me, I didn't say much when I wrote the letter." Xie Mo said.
Qin Lian immediately asked, "Does my sister-in-law's injury matter?" Why is this Jade Zhaotian so bad? Hurting my sister-in-law and grabbing me again, it's just hateful. ”
Xie Mohan shook his head, "No, she is in Beijing, she was persecuted by Yu Zhaotian a few days ago, and now she is seriously injured again, and she is recuperating in Beijing." ”
Qin Lian scratched her head, "What about my sister-in-law?" Did she come? ”
Xie Mo smiled, "After all, you are his own sister, how can he know that something happened to you and ignore it?" ”
Qin Lian sighed "hmm" and muttered, "I know that he has always been duplicitous, and he has bullied me since he was a child, and as soon as I had something, he came to save me again." ”
Xie Mohan nodded.
Qin Lian blinked, "My brother came to Mobei from the capital and came to save me?" ”
Xie Mohan saw that she was dirty and broken, and she didn't have the appearance of a county lord, even if she was energetic, she couldn't bear to look at it, she was held hostage by Yu Zhaotian along the way, and she suffered a lot, and she couldn't bear to train her again, "Fortunately, Brother Qin Zheng rushed to Mobei to save you, otherwise I wouldn't know how to deal with this Jade Zhaotian." ”
Qin Lian retracted her gaze and pursed her lips, "How did I know that I would meet such a big villain." ”
Xie Mohan glanced at Qin Lian, and saw her looking at the desolate land around Mobei, his face was full of curiosity, he rubbed his forehead helplessly, "County Lord, you are too nonsense, thousands of miles away, no one follows you, thousands of miles love Mobei, what if I can't save you and something happens?" ”
The general of the Northern Qi ordered the troops to be collected, and 100,000 soldiers and horses returned to the Northern Qi military camp.
"Goodbye." Xie Mohan arched his hand.
The Northern Qi general wiped the dirty blood from the wound on his shoulder, and said to Xie Mohan, "Master Xie, see you another day." ”
Yu Zhaotian snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Qin Lian stuck out her tongue at him, "You old monster, what kind of ability is it to bully a little woman." ”
When Yu Zhaotian heard her words, his footsteps stopped, turned his head, and said coldly, "Little girl, don't fall into my hands next time, otherwise you won't be as good as you are today." ”
"How did I get here?" Qin Lian's eyes looked around at the situation here, the two armies were facing each other, there was a murderous atmosphere, the general of the Northern Qi on the opposite side had already detoxified, Yu Zhaotian also walked towards the Mobei military camp when Qin Zheng turned his horse's head, she recognized him at a glance, and shouted, "He is the villain who caught me." ”
Xie Mohan nodded to her, "It's Mobei." ”
Qin Lian blinked, scratched her head, turned her head to look at Xie Mohan, her eyes lit up, "Xie Mohan, is this Mobei?" ”
Qin Zheng glanced at Qin Lian expressionlessly, turned his horse's head, and turned back to the Mobei military camp.
