Chapter Eighty-Three: After the War, the Aftermath

The entire Jade Tang Empire was boiling almost instantly!

Nine Manifestations, Breaking the Enemy Army!

This thing with a strong legendary and strange color was said vividly from the mouths of hundreds of thousands of troops on the battlefield...... God knows how much of a shock it will cause!

Three thousand miles to hurry, quickly report the good news; desperately howling along the way, just seven or eight days of effort, the entire Yutang Empire was completely bombed by this news!

The battlefield is victorious, the national territory is protected, the strong enemy retreats, and the country is secured. And in such a war, the legend of the Nine Statues was born.

Teahouse.

"You know? The Nine Lords have reappeared!"

"I only know, I heard that the Nine Lords have appeared and repelled the Dongxuan army. ”

"Yes, yes, a fire burned the millions of male soldiers of the Dongxuan army! Let the first general in the mainland, Shenhan Shan He, return with a feather, and it will be very happy. ”

"Thanks to the Nine Lords, otherwise ......"

"I know that good people have good rewards, and the nine adults are definitely not dead!"

"Supposedly dead...... This time it's a apparition......" someone said hesitantly.

Suddenly, the lively atmosphere was stagnant.

Several people looked unkind and turned their heads to look at the guy who said that Jiuzun was dead.

The thing suddenly panicked: "I didn't mean that......"

"Then what do you mean?" someone shouted: "Dare to say that the Nine Great Men are dead...... him, brothers!"

A crowd of people flocked to it!

"Shut up if you can't speak! Fuck you Ella...... Your whole family is dead, and the Nine Lords won't die......"

"Spare ......"

The whole country was jubilant.

......

A thick stack was written on the top of the iron zheng.

"The minister is guilty,...... Almost defeated, please punish your majesty ......"

"The minister has something to say...... In this battle, the minister saw the remnants of the army spontaneously participate in the war...... Sacrifice your life and fight to the death...... On behalf of the 300,000 soldiers, the minister asked for merit for the remnants of the army! ”

“...... 100,000 iron horsemen, 37,500 killed, 300,000 troops, now more than 200,000...... Our soldiers should have shed their blood and sacrificed their lives, but the remnants of the soldiers spontaneously responded to the battle, and the whole country gathered 83,000 remnants of the army, and 27,360 were killed in the battle. ”

"In the face of such war damage, the minister has no place to be ashamed ......"

......

Tie Zheng's letter, half of which is a plea.

Half of it is to ask for credit.

Excuse yourself for your guilt and ask for merit for the remnants of the army.

However, in the entire text of the book, there is not a single sentence that mentions the word "Nine Honors".

Morning upwards.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at him with emotion and read it out.

"There are so many hot-blooded warriors in my Yutang! With such a citizen, what is my Yutang afraid of! It's just ...... In the past, it was I who treated these heroes badly!"

The old marshal of Qiu Jian Han and Leng Dao Yin came out at the same time.

"When a war broke out at the border pass, our army was in danger, and the disabled retired sergeants spontaneously participated in the war, and there were ...... everywhere Even, a few days after the end of the war, on the road, I kept encountering the remnants of the distant army who spontaneously formed a team to participate in the battle......"

“...... Zhao Zhao is loyal, awe-inspiring and hot-blooded, and the soul of the Jade Tang Army is ......"

"Lao Chen, there are also remnants of the army and soldiers who collectively write books. Please, old man, transfer it to Your Majesty. ”

Qiu Jianhan said.

"Read!" His Majesty the Emperor's face was flushed with excitement, and he said loudly: "Read, read it to our civil and military officials, so that everyone can remember and teach in the future...... Officials at all levels, how to do a good job, parents and officials everywhere!"

"Yes. ”

The old marshal agreed, took out a letter from his bosom, opened it and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment. Immediately, the burly body trembled, and the tiger's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Just a few words. The old marshal's voice trembled.

"Long live Your Majesty, your subjects are fortunate, and you can see the face of the sky...... Xiaomin and others were originally soldiers in the army, but they only hated their low ability and disability on the battlefield, and they couldn't fight on the battlefield with their comrades again and contribute to the country, and they were ashamed in their hearts......"

“...... Your Majesty is blessed every year, and we deserve it...... Now, when the country is in danger, it is within our duty to kill the enemy on our own initiative, and we do not ask for a reward. After the war, we will be disarmed and returned to the field. ”

"But I beg your majesty to die this time and die in battle...... Each family has wives and children, please Your Majesty Hong Grace and give generous condolences. I'll have my wish fulfilled and nothing else to ask for!"

"I used to be a man in the army, and I have my own blood in my chest, and when my family and country need it, I must fight on the battlefield again!"

When the representative of the remnants of the army wrote the letter, it can be clearly seen that although it has been retouched, the letter is really not well written, the wording is average, and even a little upside down, not to mention any literary brilliance.

But the mighty loyalty and boiling blood are incisive!

The old marshal Qiu Jianhan read it out word for word, and the entire court hall was silent!

"Good, good, good!" After a long time, His Majesty the Emperor praised three times with tears in his eyes, and said loudly: "This is my people! This is the children of the Yutang Dynasty!

"In the face of such iron-clad blood, Geng Geng's heart is not commended......"

Before His Majesty the Emperor finished speaking, the old marshal confessed and said, "Your Majesty is angry and allows the old minister to interject...... These remnants, since the end of the war, have returned to their respective homes, and now the stars are scattered...... I'm afraid, it's hard to get together again. ”

It was extremely rude to interrupt the emperor. But Marshal Qiu couldn't help but say it, because&...... If His Majesty the Emperor says commendation or something, what kind of ceremony is needed...... Well, it's really hard to get people together, and it will become an embarrassing thing.

His Majesty the Emperor was a little disappointed: "This ...... Wouldn't it be a disgrace to the heroes......"

Leng Dao groaned on one side, sighed, and said, "The thoughts of these old brothers, the minister can also speculate a thing or two...... They don't think they have done much, they think they deserve it......"

"Moreover, they also feel that they can't live with those brothers who went out together but didn't come back together......" Leng Dao Yin sighed long: "Your Majesty...... Everyone who lives on the battlefield will feel ...... To be alive is already the greatest gift from God!"

"No matter how bad it is...... Life is hard...... It is also much stronger and happier than those brothers who are already lying on the battlefield......" Marshal Qiu also knew this mood.

"Hey......" His Majesty the Emperor sighed.

"In that case, the ...... who died in battle 27,360 remnants of the army...... "His Majesty the Emperor said heavily: "Every household...... Pension, ten taels of gold, children in the family, subsidized schooling. ”

"Also, this pension must be supervised in place, if there is a greedy ink misappropriater......" His Majesty the Emperor said in a solemn voice: "...... The Nine Clans are all punished!"

......

Scattered backwards.

Everyone dispersed.

But Marshal Qiu was left behind by His Majesty the Emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor was a little impatient: "Is there any news?"

Qiu Jianhan shook his head: "No." ”

"No?" His Majesty the Emperor looked at Marshal Qiu suspiciously: "Tie Zheng didn't tell you?"

Old Marshal Qiu smiled bitterly: "The letter is here." ”

He took it from his bosom and handed it to His Majesty the Emperor.

"This ......" His Majesty the Emperor read it carefully, and his eyes widened in disbelief: "Tie Zheng...... He also said...... Apparitions?!"

Marshal Qiu had a dark face and didn't know what to say.

"Bastard!" His Majesty the Emperor finally couldn't help it, and jumped to his feet and roared: "Do you believe it?!"

Old Marshal Qiu grinned: "I don't believe it either." ”

"That'...... Tie Zheng, is he fooling the ghost?" His Majesty the Emperor was furious: "I am so mediocre?!

"Your Majesty, slow down!" Old Marshal Qiu hurriedly stopped, and said after consideration: "Tie Zheng's thoughts, the old minister can also understand some ...... Moreover, it is indeed a manifestation from the present point of view...... More appropriate. ”

His Majesty the Emperor gasped, but his heart finally began to think.

After all, he is not a stupid person, he is just concerned and chaotic, and he was nodded by Qiu Jianhan, and he suddenly understood a little in his heart.

"Nine Statues...... It has always been nine people in unison...... But this time, only the Wind and Fire Twin Figures appeared. Old Marshal Qiu Jianhan's face was heavy: "Moreover, Tie Zheng's secret letter said that he felt that the ability shown by the Wind and Fire Twin Venerables was greatly inferior to before......"

His Majesty the Emperor's face sank.

"The battle of Tianxuan Cliff must be true...... Even if the Nine Venerables are lucky, someone survived...... But others...... I'm afraid ......"

"And the ability to be impaired, too...... Expected......"

"In that case, there are too many strange things in the battle of Tianxuan Cliff...... Old Marshal Qiu pondered and said word by word: "It's better to confirm this news as a manifestation...... Then, ...... again So and so ......"

"In this way, the country can be stable, the enemy can be paralyzed, and the major empires will definitely be suspicious and dare not attack...... This gives us a chance to breathe......"

"The Tribulation of the Nine Venerables...... Don't talk about foreign countries and rivers and lakes, but, even ...... in the court ...... among the major classes The traitor must be found, otherwise, there will be endless troubles. If they can make the Heavenly Mystery Cliff, can't they do it a second time?"

"What if that's the case...... It's really ...... Catastrophe ......"

Marshal Qiu spoke bitterly and tried his best to persuade.

"As for Tie Zheng, now that Tie Gu Guan is in ruins, let him sort it out over there first...... When the foreign affairs are calmed down and the reconstruction of the Iron Bone Pass is completed, it has been determined that there will be no external troubles in Dongxuan...... Then summon Tie Zheng to Beijing and let him report to His Majesty in detail...... It's not too late. ”

"When the time comes, Your Majesty will beat and punish this kid...... It's not a matter of words......"

Marshal Qiu said.

"That's reasonable......

"Tie Zheng has one request, though. Marshal Qiu said.

"What request?" asked His Majesty the Emperor.

"He wants to get married, and then, invite all the brothers in the army, to drink his wedding wine, including...... Soldiers killed in battle!"

Marshal Qiu's face was heavy, he told all the circumstances of the matter, and the causes and consequences were also introduced in detail, and sighed: "This ......"

His Majesty the Emperor grinned: "Tie Zheng...... Invite so many people to drink, does he have so much money?"

Marshal Qiu coughed and did not speak.

Inviting hundreds of thousands of troops to drink, inviting brothers who died in battle to drink, this is really astronomical.

"I'm here to pay this money!" His Majesty the Emperor gritted his teeth: "Although the treasury is empty, this wine money ...... Yes, it is to be given. ”

Old Marshal Qiu sighed, and stopped talking.

Now, year after year of war, the state's money has been spent on the army and on pensions, and His Majesty the Emperor has never been soft on this.

However, now the country is really out of money.

The money for this drink...... Definitely an astronomical amount.

If it is spent, I am afraid that it will cause a riot and even impeachment. The emperor will be under great pressure: now that the people are struggling to make a living, you spend such a large sum of money to buy wine and pour it on the grave?

But if you don't spend ...... So, the last wish of tens of thousands of heroic souls, and such an insignificant last wish, is not satisfied?

They just want to drink a glass of handsome wine!

The old marshal felt that it was really not easy for His Majesty the Emperor.

......

His Majesty the Emperor paced, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Old Qiu, you say...... The Wind and Fire Twin Figures are still alive...... This should be true, right?"

Qiu Jianhan has a black line.

To make it clear, we'd better not talk about it anymore...... How do you ......

Lao Chen felt ...... It's like, it's not like ......" Qiu Jianhan hesitated.

His Majesty the Emperor is becoming more and more interested: Then what do you say...... If the Wind and Fire Twin Statues are still alive, then is it possible that the other statues are still alive?"

The old marshal's eyes have been.

You're thinking too much, aren't you?

Even if it's these two, it's impossible to say if it's true or not......

"My child...... His Majesty the Emperor was full of hope: "...... Isn't it still ......?"

Speaking of this, a pair of eyes were full of light: "...... Still alive?!"

“......”

Old Marshal Qiu felt that he was going crazy.

There is a 1 in 10,000 chance that others will be alive, but it is absolutely impossible for Tuzun...... If Tuzun is still alive, even if there is only one breath left, the only one who knows the news first can only be His Majesty the Emperor!

"This ...... It's a bit of a hang. ”

The old marshal was honest.

His Majesty the Emperor suddenly widened his eyes, and in an instant, anger surged up again: "Bold Qiu Jian Han, dare to bully the king!"

“......”

The old marshal was speechless for a moment.

When did the old man deceive the king again? Even if you are the emperor, you can't just accuse you of crimes!

......
