"The world is salty and righteous." ("The History of the Imperial Mirror of the Great Zhou Dynasty") In the description of the folk artist, Su Jin broke into Zhou Night City alone on a full moon night, dyeing the entire mansion into a bloody color. Su Jin didn't go to assassinate him, although this incident reflected that he was not a guts as a member of the Imperial Party's outlaws, but he was just trying to get an opportunity to speak directly at the secret meeting of the Ancestral Hall. Based on speculation, he analyzed the situation, persuaded the ancestral party to abandon the purge of the officers of the Northern Expedition, and told some facts that he knew. In fact, the officers of the Northern Expedition were also tired, most of them had been inspired by the emperor's idea of "unification of the whole world" when they were young, but now that they were old, they themselves began to question the significance of the Northern Expedition after suffering a major defeat in the north. The ancestral party regarded them as too dangerous, and although there were still hot-blooded men loyal to the emperor, these people were no longer able to call for a battle against the king.

The ancestral hall party showed a very cooperative attitude this time, and they accepted Su Jin's opinion. The description of this incident in the "History of the Imperial Mirror of the Great Zhou Dynasty" is extremely concise: "Jin went to see the ministers, and said it with leniency, and everyone said it, so he flattened the case and reduced the killing." "The record of such an event is so concise that many historians probably do not know about it, or even if they do, it is difficult to record it truthfully. However, this matter can hardly be said to be the credit of Su Jin alone, at least half of the credit goes to his enemy, Wen Fuming.

Wen Fuming is a very interesting person, as a top-notch figure of the younger generation of the Ancestral Party and trusted by the older generation of the Ancestral Party power, he is a loyal admirer of Su Jin and Bai Liyu. Wen Fuming has personally written a lot of poems to commemorate the Northern Expedition, especially describing Baili Yu's conspiracy and Su Jin's strategy, there is no lack of praise and even praise, some of the literati notes and wild histories that collect the stories of the Northern Expedition were also edited by Wen Fuming at his own expense, and printed into a book and published in the world. This cannot be said how clear and noble the political ideals of the Zhou Wu Iron Brigade are, but their personality and behavior have a strong appeal, or polluting force. Wen Fuming has a five-character poem praising Baili Yu: "The sword rises and the clear waves are raised, and the song destroys the enemy's courage." ”

What's interesting is that the only time Baili Yu seems to have revealed a little swordsmanship is in the Shanyang Pavilion of the Ming Guomei Palace, and that sword can be slashed on Wen Fuming's shoulder. Wen Fuming didn't seem to mind much about this, but he didn't know if he was "crushed" by Baili Yu's ruthlessness at that time. "Zhou Yesheng" Wen Fuming, a pillar figure of the ancestral party and a staunch admirer of the Zhou Wu military group, is always full of contradictions and inconsistencies in the history books of later generations. Wen Fuming was appreciated by Zhou Chun for his intelligence, and after successfully arranging the suppression of the imperial party, Wen Fuming was second only to Zhou Chun in the ancestral hall party, because of his youth and stability, and won the trust of many parties. But Wen Fuming, the biggest moderate in the ancestral party, repeatedly and openly stated the importance of the Zhou Qing dynasty to the stability of the imperial dynasty, and believed that the situation had been calmed down, that there was no need for a large-scale purge, and that those who survived should be treated kindly. But even with his status, this opinion is difficult to accept. So Wen Fuming ran among the ministers, and frequently lobbied, trying to alleviate the hostility of the ministers to the imperial party, and prevent these paranoid old people from rashly adopting radical and cruel measures in order to retaliate against Zhou Qing's suppression of them before. The meeting held at the Xie family's old residence at that time was probably to discuss this matter. Wen Fuming did this for a good reason, not just out of his personal admiration for Su Jin, his reason was a foreign enemy. He tried to explain to the elders of the ancestral party who did not understand military affairs that the barbarians had not completely lost their combat effectiveness, and that the Yu tribe was really not damaged in these two wars, and these were all threats outside the territory. Soon after his northern expedition, King Chindahan proved that he was indeed a warlike man with a number of examples.

Like Zhou Chun, Wen Fuming is a linguistic genius, a eloquent orator, and a sincere junior. After listening to his statement, the old people who had already killed the red eyes suddenly realized that Wen Fuming had also obtained the authorization he needed. He was given permission to urgently send an envoy to the Wu to cement the covenant between the Zhou dynasty and the Wu clan. That covenant was made under the auspices of Zhou Qing, and now the ancestral party needs this covenant to be ceded to them. This wizard who went to the Wu clan is Gao Gongdou who was the previous envoy to Zhou Qing, this person is undoubtedly a Wu clan, he has no other merits in his life, but he has truly achieved "everything related to the Wu clan He can solve, and he can't solve anything that is not related to the Wu clan." He's a stammer, and as an envoy that's a huge flaw. But he can't speak, but he is good at singing, and the god of the witch clan is very rich in rhyme, and when he speaks quickly, it is very like singing.

Gao Gongdou's talent is fully applied in the Divine Envoy Text, he can sing songs and communicate with witches, not only with beautiful timbre, but also elegant words, which makes people feel a sense of trust. He was a born singer, poet and philosopher. Emperor Yu liked this envoy of the Eastern Continent very much, and affectionately called him "the lark of the Eastern Continent". Wen Fuming also used his sister, Achinmotu of the Da Yan clan of the Shuofeng Clan, to entrust her to explain to King Chindahan that it would be not beneficial for either side to start a war between the barbarians and the Eastern Continent now. Perhaps the young King of Chindahan could take advantage of the internal strife of the Zhou clan to destroy the Zhou dynasty, but he would not be able to obtain any piece of land in the Eastern Continent, because even if the rule of the Zhou clan ceased to exist, the vassal states would still fight against the enemy from the northern continent, and the unsettled situation between the barbarian tribes would be a great problem for the king of Chindahan, and if he rashly set out to conquer, he would face the same predicament as Zhou Qing.

Wen Fuming also told King Qin Dahan very "kindly" that the communication between his envoys and Emperor Yu was very successful, and Emperor Yu realized that although the Eastern Continent had suffered some losses, it still had a strong national strength, and across the strait, Ningzhou was beyond the reach of the Eastern Continent, and the huge strategic depth of the Eastern Continent would also bring great trouble to the Wu people, because the Wu population was relatively small and it was difficult to rule a huge territory. The Witch Emperor still recognized the Eastern Continent Emperor's kindness to the Witches, but regarded the barbarians as his fierce rivals. Wen Fuming advised King Qin Dahan to pay more attention to the feather people east of the Cloud Pass. King Chindahan's guess is that although he is belligerent, he is extremely intelligent. He saw Wen Fuming's good intentions in these seemingly threatening persuasions, so he wrote back to Wen Fuming in his own hand, stating that the covenant between him and Zhou Qing was valid for anyone in power in the Eastern Continent, and that in his lifetime, the barbarians would not set foot on the land of the Eastern Continent. He also sent someone to send a giant horn of "Kui" to Wen Fuming as a dowry for marrying Aqin Motu, and very politely called Wen Fuming "respectable brother" in the letter.

Wen Fuming was ecstatic when he received this reply, he was boating and singing with the ministers on the lake, and when he received the news, he lost his composure, danced and even fell into the water. He immediately borrowed 50,000 stone of grain from the ministers and gave it to the king of Chindahan as a return gift, calling it the dowry of Achin Motu. It is quite difficult to let these ministers cut meat and give gifts to the barbarians, and in order to make up this amount, Wen Fuming not only donated all his family property, but also went to the point of asking for help from door to door. In the end, it was Zhou Chun's letter, which was conveyed to the masters of the family, asking them to lend food according to Wen Fuming's amount, and to protect it from the royal treasury, so that Wen Fuming could barely make up enough for his sister to make up this rare high dowry in history. Of course, Zhou Chun didn't care about Aqin Motu's happiness, but he deeply understood Wen Fuming's intentions. The barbarians have indeed declined, but what Wen Fuming is worried about is whether the barbarians will survive the next winter after losing their cattle and sheep and a large number of people. If they can't survive, with the character of the barbarians, they will choose to burn the jade and stones, desperately go south to plunder, and then start the war. And King Chindahan will also be difficult to suppress. So in order to circumvent the war, the Eastern Continent had to feed the barbarians this winter, even if they were hungry for it.

However, Wen Fuming's contributions were annihilated by Su Jin's brilliance, and what people remember is the lonely night raid-style "negotiation" and the courage to not return alone. Various literati notes during the Zhou Wu Dynasty have mentioned this negotiation, and the accounts are different, some say that Su Jin talked eloquently, and the sound boomed for several miles, and the surrounding residents could hear the grand arguments in Zhou Ye City at night, and some people said that Su Jin was able to break through many defenses and enter Zhou Ye City, and it was a witch who took him to fly in the air and let him fall, and so on. These literati wrote notes from some sources, and read them more or less with a shadow of reality, but the storytellers in the market ignored them altogether, and only wanted to tell the story of this legendary past to the fullest, so that the listeners would be fascinated, and then generously sprinkled the money.

Therefore, according to the statement of "Zhou Ye City's Breaking the Army and Killing the Champion", on the night of the full moon, Su Jin broke into Zhou Ye City, rode a dragon's blood horse, held two iron spears, rushed left and right in Zhou Night City and suddenly entered a no-man's land, and overturned seventy-two "Ti Kui" (the leader of the Ti Wei is called "Ti Kui" in the performing arts, but this official position does not exist in the Ti Wei) and five thousand elites, killing the peerless assassin of Tianluo, covered in red blood, like a ghost, and finally he climbed the iron tower with his bare hands, and appeared in front of the traitors of the ancestral hall party like a god general. Of course, the old guys of the ancestral hall party were frightened, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, Su Jin threw the sword "blood river" in front of Wen Fuming, the leader of the ancestral hall, and vowed that if there was another case of party rebellion, he would kill everyone on the spot. In the end, he calmly walked out of the night city, no one dared to stop him, and he won the name of "breaking the army".

Zhou Chun also decided to end the party rebellion case, but he didn't want to release anyone. This person is Ye Wang. Ye Wang's status is too special, he is the emperor of the imperial party, his elder brother died in the hands of the ancestral party, and he is not in the same place with these people. He is also the head of the Tian Yuan Ye family, and he may affect the Cargo Colony Mansion. He is also the commander of the three armies of the Ming Kingdom, and has extremely high authority in the Wind Tiger Cavalry, and it can even be said that this army was formed by him. Worst of all, he was still the Templar Sect Master, a secret organization that still worried Zhou Chun. If Zhou Chun ordered Zhu Yichuan to release Ye Wang, the dying Imperial Party would immediately regain some of its vitality. Ye Wang is another person who is difficult to be placed, if he is placed in the Ming Kingdom, he will affect the Wind Tiger, and if he is placed in the imperial capital, he will affect the Cargo Colony Mansion and the Ye Clan. Zhou Chun ordered Ye Wang to be detained in the Ming Kingdom, just because of the influence of this family head on the ministers. He hesitated again and again and ordered Ye Wang to be executed.

Ye Wang's crime is the first among all the people in the imperial party, and the seven imperial histories of Tianyuan have helped him weave more than 400 major crimes, including "slandering the lord", "connecting with the northern barbarians", "arguing about military aircraft", "conspiracy association", "murdering the minister", etc., etc., it seems that the two northern expeditions of the Zhou Wutie Brigade are because of the leader of a secret society called Ye Wang, who deceived the emperor with slander, secretly killed the minister, and secretly colluded with the barbarians, in order to let his secret society gain unparalleled power. This secret society is called the "Templar Order". Zhou Qing and Bai Li Yu in prison used all means to rescue Ye Wang, but at this time, the emperor's authority and Bai Li Yu's power skills could no longer be transmitted to the distant Ming Kingdom.

Ye Wang, a Templar warrior, was killed in the deep winter of Emperor Wu's twenty-first year, when the hero of the Northern Expedition was deprived of all his military exploits and titles, and was removed from the family tree, and the elder Ye Weien, who had supported him as the head of the family, had died in the cold autumn of the nineteenth year of Emperor Wu. After Ye Weien, Ye Wang lost his last pillar in the ancestral hall, the Ye ancestral hall was completely occupied by the vassals of the ancestral hall, and the huge Ye family also went into decline step by step. Before Ye Weien died, he wrote a letter to the samurai who personally held the position of the head of the family, this letter was recorded in Ye's family history "Tiger Wing Seven Wheels", in the letter, Ye Weien called himself "dry bones in the mound", saying that he was surrounded by "wolves", which had hinted that Ye Wang had prepared early, but Ye Wang, who was immersed in the dream of the Northern Expedition at that time, did not pay attention to the earnest advice of this distant elder brother.

History repeats the story of Ye Weicheng. Both brothers were once honored as the heads of the Tian Yuan Ye clan, one of the seven great families of the Eastern Continent, and were later removed as the scum of the family. The former had sacrificed himself to save hundreds of Ye clan's children, and the latter held the Ye family's heirloom soul seal weapon to dominate the Northern Regions, the two should have been the glory of the family, but the Ye family's descendants were even ashamed to mention these two ancestors. Of course, there are exceptions to the Ye family, and King Lie admires his great-ancestor Ye Wang very much.

The end of the hero is unusually sad, the history is recorded on the day of the execution, thousands of soldiers in the city are fortified along the road, Ye Wang was locked in heavy flail and iron shackles, stepping on the snow that has just fallen step by step to the execution ground, he said to everyone on the side of the road: "My Great Zhou Emperor, the Ming State Prince's seat under the command of the three armies are all commanded, not a traitor!" ”
