Volume 3 Chaos in Chang'an Chapter 94 After all, it flows eastward? (Kakaga 3)
In the twentieth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the eighth day of the second month.
The military flag hunted, and the song was once again played on the bar.
“...... Qin ordered the old marshal Zhang Oy, commanding 50,000 troops to go north, suppress the rebellion, and stabilize the seven counties outside the Saiwai. ”
After suppressing the frustrated will, accompanied by a high "Qin this", Gonggong Li closed the holy decree and handed it over to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao nodded to the ground on one knee, took the holy decree, and shouted: "The old minister will definitely take the head of the Tuoba Jue dog and dedicate it to Your Majesty!" ”
Gonggong Li said respectfully: "Our family will convey the words of the old man to His Majesty, and I hope that the old man will cherish it after many years!" ”
It is generally the work of eunuchs to pass on the decree, and it is normal for Gonggong Li to come to deliver the decree. In the past, the Blue Fly Division was often responsible for transmitting the decree during the southeast campaign, but this was actually just a special case, mainly because the Blue Fly Division was fast and efficient, so as not to delay the fighters. Now that the war in the southeast is over, everything is back to normal, Pei Shengqin thought that he could see the Qing who came to deliver the decree again today, but unfortunately he guessed wrong.
Today, Zhang Shuai led an army of 50,000 to the north, and there were not too many people to see him off, and the scene was a little deserted. This is also normal, after all, this battle is different from the previous battles to expand the territory. Since the fall of the Northern Dynasty, the seven counties outside the Saiwai have long been Qin soil, and the likes of Tuoba Jue and Dugu Kuren are also Qin ministers. Zhang Hao's northward journey this time can only be regarded as suppressing the rebellion, not a conquest of foreign enemies.
In waging war with foreign countries, we should do our best to propagate and arouse the feelings of hatred and hatred among the people. To quell internal turmoil, it is necessary to cover up as much as possible, so that the people feel that there is no chaos in the country. This is a common problem in all dynasties, and the former Qin Dynasty was no exception, so Zhang Oyster's expedition this time was very low-key.
Pei Shengqin came with Wang Guo'an's brothers, and Wang Guo'an's uncle Wang Pi was also there.
"Zhang Shuai, the kid toasts you with a glass of wine, I wish you a victorious start and return to the dynasty as soon as possible!"
Pei Shengqin stepped forward to raise his glass and respectfully toasted Zhang Oyster.
Deng Zhang Ershuai deserves the respect of every Qin person! If there is still a god of war in this era, then there is no dispute that the god of war can only be Deng Qiang and Zhang Oy! The two of them are the Optimus Prime of the Great Qin Dynasty, and they are the patron saints of this country!
Zhang Oyster, who had white sideburns, laughed, raised his wine glass and drank it all, then patted Pei Shengqin's shoulder and said: "Pei boy, work hard in the capital, clean up those traitors, as early as Xuzhou, Lao Tzu felt that you kid was different, and dared to compete with evil ghosts, Lao Tzu is optimistic about you." This grenade is really a good thing, and when Tuoba Jue is suppressed, Lao Tzu will also give you a credit! ”
Pei Shengqin couldn't help but feel a little guilty again, and said, "Speaking of which, it's still the kid's fault. If it weren't for the kid's easy action and startling the snake, which made Tuoba Jue attack in advance, Zhang Shuai would not have to suffer from this rush now. Tuoba is cunning and scheming, Zhang Shuai must be careful when he goes, don't fall for this thief's trick. ”
Zhang Oyster smiled again, and said loudly: "This matter has nothing to do with you kid, Tuoba Jue's dog thief is naturally rebellious, and sooner or later he will rebel." He reversed earlier, just cleaned him up earlier, lest he continue to waste air alive! ”
Zhang Hao didn't seem to care about Pei Shengqin's reminder in the second half of his sentence at all, and Pei Shengqin withdrew with a wry smile. He persuaded him, I hope Zhang Oyster can be more vigilant, this Tuoba Jue is really not easy to deal with.
Immediately afterwards, the three members of the Wang family stepped forward to say goodbye to Zhang Oyster, and Zhang Oyster also drank a glass of wine with the Wang Guoan brothers. The Wang family and Deng Zhang have a deep love for the two old marshals, after all, the two old marshals were promoted by the late Prime Minister Wang Meng back then, and it was Wang Meng who led the two old marshals to fight many times and gave careful guidance, so that they gradually exercised the ability of the two old marshals to command the army. If it weren't for Wang Meng's teaching, even if Deng and Zhang were invincible in the world in martial arts, they would be just two horsemen after all, and they would not be able to command the army.
When it was Wang Pi's turn, he whispered in a voice that only Zhang Hao could hear: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue entrusted me to give the old man a ride on his behalf, and I hope the old man will pacify the seven counties as soon as possible and return to the dynasty with victory!" ”
Zhang Hao frowned, was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "As far as the prime minister was concerned, he was also a senior brother and a brother, and Lao Tzu owed you the Wang family!" Wang Pi, Lao Tzu watched you grow up and knew that you were a good boy. For the sake of the prime minister's affection, Lao Tzu will advise you again. The green mountains can't cover it, after all, it flows eastward! ”
"Zhang Oyster, the old man is also here to see you off, the old horseman!"
Zhang Hao immediately smiled and scolded: "The surname Deng, you don't have your share in this war, you can only look at you Lao Tzu and I laugh proudly on the battlefield!" ”
With that, Zhang Hao no longer paid attention to Wang Pi, turned around and walked towards Deng Qiang, who came to see him off.
The only one who can speak so unceremoniously to Zhang Shuai is Deng Shuai; The only one who can speak so politely to Deng Shuai is Zhang Shuai!
Pei Shengqin also turned his head to see that Deng Qiang was wearing a blue brocade robe today. Deng Li and Xu Yujie followed behind Deng Qiang, Deng Li found Pei Shengqin and was squeezing his eyebrows at Pei Shengqin.
"After all, it's going eastward?"
Wang Pi froze in place, and his eyes flashed with unwillingness.
"Third uncle, are you okay?"
Wang Zhenwei felt that something was wrong with Wang Pi, and asked worriedly.
Wang Pi's face immediately changed, and he returned to the appearance of a hippie smile, and said with a smile: "What can you do with your third uncle, it's rare that the weather is good today, do you want the third uncle to take you and Guoan to visit the kiln tonight?" ”
Wang Zhenwei really doesn't know what the good weather has to do with visiting the kiln, but the third uncle has always been not serious, and Wang Zhenwei has long been accustomed to it. Seeing that the third uncle was fine, Wang Zhenwei trotted next to Pei Shengqin and Wang Guoan - Pei Shengqin was introducing Deng Li and Xu Yujie to Wang Guoan.
Wang Pi stood in place, his body trembling imperceptibly, Zhang Hao's previous words seemed to touch his pain point.
Wang Pi slowly closed his eyes, and his thoughts went back to a long, long time ago.
That is, the third year of Shouguang, the night of the full moon. The moon is like blood.
That night, Chang'an City was so quiet that people were frightened, in this silence, the Hanging Mirror Envoy personally knocked on the door of the Wang family, and he brought a holy decree - he was the last Hanging Mirror Envoy of the Great Qin Dynasty, after he was executed by Ling Chi, the Hanging Mirror Division was renamed the Blue Fly Division, and the position of the Hanging Mirror Envoy no longer existed.
His father, Wang Meng, has always been the smartest and wisest person in Wang Pi's mind, and he is also the idol of little Wang Pi. Wang Meng has taught Wang Pi since he was a child, and if he eats the Yulu of the Great Qin Dynasty, he should be loyal to the Emperor of Great Qin, loyal to the people of Great Qin, and loyal to the country!
This time, Wang Pi thought that his father Wang Meng would open the incense case as usual and respectfully accept the holy decree. However, what Wang Pi didn't expect was that Wang Meng not only did not welcome the Hanging Mirror Envoy into the mansion to receive the order, but instead came to the door with a wooden stick, knocked the Hanging Mirror Envoy to the ground with a split head and face, and threw it out of the door.
Then, Wang Meng also spat vigorously at the holy decree that fell to the ground, and then stepped on it several times.
Wang Pi looked at his father's still tall back, and felt a little strange, is this still his father, is this still the father who taught him to eat the king's Lu and divide the king's worries since he was a child?
That's the hanging mirror envoy who represents the Great Qin Emperor outside, how can my father knock him to the ground? That was the holy decree of Emperor Daqin, how could my father trample on it like this!
Wang Pi wanted to pick up the dirty holy decree on the ground, but Wang Meng kicked him fiercely and reprimanded: "This is the root of the bane, you are not allowed to touch it!" ”
Then, Wang Meng actually looked at the sky again, sneered and said to himself: "Emperor Great Qin? Phew! ”
At this moment, Wang Pi saw a group of figures walking in the street outside the door, carrying clubs, knives and guns, and they were dressed in the clothes of the family with narrow sleeves and short plackets. Wang Pi recognized it, and a few people here seemed to be the family members of the East China Sea King Fujian's mansion; A few people over there seem to be the family members of the Qinghe Wang Fufa Mansion.
They were so murderous that they were walking in the direction of the palace!
The hanging mirror that was thrown out of the gate of the royal family made him paralyzed outside the door, this big man who called for wind and rain in the Great Qin Dynasty was now like a wild dog that was about to die, and Wang Pi even saw his desperate and sad eyes.
No one noticed that the young king was in the confusion and secretly picked up the holy decree on the ground......
The next day, many, many people were taken to the vegetable market to be killed, and the heads were piled up like a mountain. Wang Meng didn't allow his family to go out, but Wang Pi sneaked out to see. The government pronounced the crime that these beheaders were guilty of treason.
Wang Pi counted the rebellious felons who killed the head, among them, one hundred and fifty-eight were armed in front of the emperor, two hundred and seventy-seven were deacons of the Hanging Mirror Division, and many, many loyal founding ministers...... These people are obviously the most loyal people to the Great Qin Dynasty! How could they rebel?
On the way home, Wang Pi passed by the East Palace again. He saw the prince of the East China Sea standing at the gate of the East Palace surrounded by a large group of soldiers, looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a mocking smile. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince put a dagger to his throat and roared hysterically: "This is the home of the main palace, and the main palace will not move!" Fu Hong, if you want to live in, you thief, you will kill the palace! ”
It wasn't until much later, as Wang Pi grew older, that he finally understood what had happened that night. That's something that the loyal and patriotic ideas he has believed in since he was a child will never allow it to happen, and that's a shameless thing that he should absolutely spurn!
So, Wang Pi found an opportunity to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had become the King of Yue, and showed the King of Yue the holy decree that he had stolen back then.
He told the king of Yue that he was willing to obey!
"The things of the past were contrary to the way of a gentleman, the way of a monarch and a minister, and the way of good and evil. It is even more contrary to the loyalty and righteousness of my king's skin! ”
Wang Pi opened his eyes, and his thoughts returned to reality.
The 50,000-strong army was ready to go, Zhang Hao and Deng Qiang talked, and Pei Shengqin and Deng Li and other juniors were communicating.
Ba water, flowing slowly under the Ba Bridge.
"After all, it's going east? I disagree! ”
