Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Five Cities for Hiring
Mao Lingfeng opened the letter and saw that there was a poem written in it, "Qingqing Zijin, take care of my heart." Even if I don't go, Zining won't make a sound? Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it. Even if I don't go, Zining won't come? Picky and embarrassed, in the city. I don't see it, like March. I don't see it, like March. The affection in the poem is exhausted.
Attached to the tail is a snow elixir that can cure all poisons, in case of emergency, please accept it.
Mao Lingfeng held the letter and the brocade box, his heart was like numbness, his love was gone, his heart was like ashes, how could he make waves again. She snorted softly, her eyes full of pain. Put the letter back in the brocade box, pick up the snow elixir and look at it, and put it back in the brocade box. Give it to Zhiqin and return it to Dark San. Kazuki lying on the bed, his heart was flying, the rainy season was about to pass, and it was autumn, the battle for imperial power in Xiyi was settled, and the second prince Li Chengkun imprisoned his brother, and finally sat on the throne and respected the first emperor as the emperor. It seems that a big war is inevitable.
Mao Lingfeng couldn't help but sigh, if he didn't do it to recuperate, he would definitely go to Xiyi to make trouble for him. Maybe Li Chengkun's battle for the throne was not so smooth. So far, it's useless to think about it, so it's better to prepare for what this battle should be. For a while, I was full of worries in my heart, I suddenly felt bored, my heart was anxious, I stood up, walked out of the camp, climbed the high slope, watched the sunset from afar, and Xie Wenjun's scenes appeared in front of me.
Mao Lingfeng sat on the hillside in a daze, a gust of wind blew, and he couldn't help but shiver, and suddenly felt that his body sank, and a robe was draped over him.
Mao Lingfeng got up, only to see Zheng Jie standing behind him at some point, and said in surprise: "When did you come over, why didn't you make a sound." ”
Zheng Jie smiled faintly: "I've been here for a while, but I saw that the general was in a trance, so it was inconvenient to disturb." ”
Mao Lingfeng said: "Find me something." ”
Can't I look for you if I'm fine? Zheng Jie said softly. He stepped forward and wanted to hug her into his arms.
Mao Lingfeng was stunned, took a few steps back, threw his clothes at Zheng Jie and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back to the camp first, and I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have business." After saying that, he turned around, and after a few leaps, he disappeared.
Zheng Jie looked at the figure of the young woman leaving in a hurry, speechless, stunned on the spot, and let out a long sigh for a long time.
In the early morning of the next day, Mao Lingfeng still got up to practice swords, and after breakfast, he came to the Feifeng camp with the four of them in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and just arrived at the camp gate, a deafening sound came from afar. "See the General." All the soldiers shouted in unison.
A smile flashed on the face of the young female general under the mask: "Hello brothers. ”
"Okay." The sound of the soldiers shook for nine nights.
Mao Lingfeng waved his hand, and all the soldiers left automatically to train separately, and the four of them also went to train together. The female general sat in the tent and handled military affairs.
Mao Lingfeng's side is preparing for battle, but she doesn't know that the court is in full swing because of her.
Nearly half a month later, Mao Lingfeng was preparing to send troops from Yangguan when a holy decree came, urgently summoning her back to Beijing. When Mao Lingfeng received the holy decree, it was like five thunderbolts, and he was stunned all of a sudden. The eighteenth generation of Li Chengkun's ancestors secretly greeted.
Li Chengkun, the king of Xiyi, sent an envoy to Beijing secretly from Nanyi, asking to see Emperor Yuan of Jin, willing to hire five cities and marry a female general as the queen, and ensure that the two countries were reconciled and did not invade each other.
In the court, there were Sima Shun and Taifu Wang Yan and Xie Wenjun who strongly refused. Led by Prince Yu Liang and Prince Ning, the uncle of the Taiguo, he is the main and pro-family. Sima Yan urgently summoned Mao Lingfeng back to Beijing to discuss.
After receiving the holy decree, Mao Lingfeng's eyebrows tightened, and he urgently summoned the soldiers of each battalion to discuss in the tents and arrange the situation. The next day, he took the two sisters of Zhiqin and the two brothers of the dark three to be anxious, and they rushed back to Jiankang under the starry night.
After hearing the holy decree, the generals in the army couldn't help but be excited, led by Zheng Jie and Chang Wu, united the generals to send a letter of request for war, and sent people to send 800 li to Kyoto urgently.
After ten days of eating and sleeping, Mao Lingfeng and his party of five finally arrived in the capital, and as soon as they set foot in the capital, they had not had time to return to the palace, and they were urgently summoned to the palace by the emperor.
Mao Lingfeng and his entourage bathed and changed their clothes, put on the official robes specially prepared by the emperor, and hurried to the palace.
On the Qianning Palace, Sima Yan sat on the dragon chair, watching the civil and military officials arguing with each other, and couldn't help frowning. The guards outside the hall said, "General Feifeng will see you in the court." ”
Sima Xing's expression was relieved: "Announce quickly." ”
The young woman was wearing a purple and red court dress, with a purple and gold crown on her head, and her heroic posture was sassy, a little less of a woman's weakness, and a few more points of the majesty of the general, revealing fortitude in her stunning face, and stepping into the hall from the jade price outside the hall with her own brilliance. He was followed by two men and two women, each wearing five-grade court clothes. As soon as a group of five people stepped into the Qianning Palace, a chilling momentum rushed to their faces.
The civil and military ministers in the main hall were unconsciously breathing, and the young woman had been honed on the battlefield for a year, and her temperament was actually not inferior to the battle-hardened veterans present. The stunning appearance and the momentum of the body made everyone present feel a burst of murderous aura rushing to their faces, making many civil officials secretly tremble and dare not raise their heads.
A group of five people walked up the steps and came to the Qianning Palace. Mao Lingfeng lifted his court clothes, came to the palace and knelt on the ground: "Weichen see the emperor, long live, long live, long live." The other four fell to their knees behind her.
Sima Yan looked at the young woman kneeling in front of the hall, her face was haggard, but she could not hide her stunning beauty, and her grace and bearing were unmatched.
Sima Yan breathed for a while, and said happily: "The general is exempt from courtesy, please get up." ”
Mao Lingfeng: "Thank you for Emperor Longen." "Get up and stand aside.
Sima Yan smiled slightly and said: "Today, the general is urgently summoned back to Beijing, presumably the general knows the reason for it, and I don't know what the Qing family wants." ”
Mao Lingfeng knelt on the ground and snorted: "Enlighten the emperor, the minister is unwilling, please make a clear decision." ”
Sima Yan said quietly: "The king of Xiyi is willing to hire you with five cities, marry you as the queen, if you agree, then the two countries will be reconciled, and the sword soldiers will be eliminated, which will benefit the country and the people and be harmless, and the general is also a country, why don't you want to." ”
Mao Lingfeng raised his head and looked directly at Sima Yan and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, he has married princesses of the same country, and several princesses and relatives have died well for a long time. Now the king of Xiyi is using the city as an appointment to marry a micro-minister, and his heart can be seen to be insincere. If the minister failed to break through the Yangguan Pass and annihilated hundreds of thousands of Xiyi's army, how could the king of Xiyi use the city as an appointment to marry Weichen. Thinking about the battle of Yangguan, the king of Xiyi was disgraced, hating the ministers to the bone, how could he be kind to the ministers, it must be in the name of harmony, and the ministers entered the country. Exchange the city for a good general of a country, please think twice, leave the ministers a way to live, in order to repay the suburban country, and die on the battlefield, and the ministers have no grievances. ”
Sima Shun looked at the young woman's slender and thin, proud figure kneeling on the ground a little sadly, crying blood, and the words were sad. couldn't help but feel a great pain in his heart, and knelt on the ground: "Brother Huang, the general is reasonable, if you lose a good general, even if you win the city, you will eventually lose it, and how can the peace obtained by selling women last long."
Taifu Wang Yan, Xie Wenjun and Xie Tao, Mao Xuwen and some generals all knelt on the ground and echoed in unison, willing to ask the emperor to make a clear decision and refuse Xiyi and his relatives.
At this time, I only heard a cold cry, and I saw the servant Yu Liang stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the general keeps saying that he is for the country and his family, and he does not hesitate to die, this and his parents are a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but the general is unwilling, is the general's loyalty just talking about himself." ”
Mao Lingfeng was furious, his eyes were like knives, he looked directly at Yu Liang and said: "The husband has something to do, and he doesn't do something, although the minister is a woman, he would rather die on the battlefield, if he is calculated by the villain, he will die in vain at the hands of the enemy, although he is unwilling to die, it is difficult to see." If the emperor is greedy for immediate interests, he will force Weichen to death. Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies? Uncle Taiguo was aggressive and wanted to kill Ling Feng, could it be that he accepted the benefits of the king of Xiyi, colluded with Waiyi, and trapped the emperor in injustice, causing the safety of the people of the Jin Kingdom to be disregarded. ”
Yu Liang was shocked, and a cold sweat broke out: "Don't talk about it and slander me." ”
Mao Lingfeng smiled coldly, slowly rolled up his sleeves, and exposed his arms, only to see a few hideous wounds on Ruyu's skin: "Your Majesty, please see clearly, the scars on the minister's body are not all injured on the battlefield, most of them are due to the ministers of the court who have sent people to assassinate them many times. Presumably, the assassination failed, and he wished that the ministers would die in a foreign country, so he strongly advocated sending the ministers to other countries. ”
Everyone's eyes fell on the hideous wound on the jade-like arm, and they couldn't help but gasp.
Zhiqi stepped forward to put down his sleeves for his own young lady, and Zhiqin both knelt on the ground, knocking on the ground with his head: "Your Majesty, on the occasion of this national event, the ministers and other lowly positions are few, and they should not say much, but our sisters have been grateful for the kindness of the young lady, and have been following the young lady, the young lady has a stubborn personality, if the emperor listens to the villain's slander and wants the young lady to go to Xiyi and kiss, it will definitely make the young lady have no way to live, can the emperor bear to let one for the safety of the country, abandon the love in his heart, put on armor and go into battle, work hard for the emperor, and destroy hundreds of thousands of enemies, The woman covered in scars has embarked on a dead end, could it be that the emperor treats the good generals of the country like this. If you give the young lady time, don't say that it is just five cities, even if you destroy the entire Xiyi, it is not impossible. Zhiqi finished.
Sima Shun couldn't help but look sideways, a little maidservant dared to point out that the emperor was not, what a bold son.
Sima Yan was also stunned, the dragon swept away, and saw the two women kneeling on the ground, straightening their backs, heroic and compelling, looking directly at each other, but there was no trace of timidity. I couldn't help but be surprised, and admired in my heart, there is really a master and a servant, which shows the deep affection of the master and servant.
Sima Yan made up his mind in his heart, but his face remained silent and said: "Xuanxi Yi's envoy will go to the court to see you." ”
Mao Lingfeng didn't know how the emperor decided, he was anxious, so he moved his mind, bit the tip of his tongue, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body fell directly. Zhiqi and Zhiqin were shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Mao Lingfeng, seeing that her eyes were closed and her face was pale, they couldn't help but scream.
Sima Shun and Xie Wenjun were also taken aback, and they both took a step forward, but were stopped by two maids.
All the people in the hall also craned their necks and looked at the young woman vomiting blood and falling to the ground. I couldn't bear it in my heart, and secretly sighed.
Sima Yan was also shocked, and hurriedly announced that the imperial doctor went to the palace to diagnose and treat the woman who vomited blood, and for a while, the hall was in chaos. The imperial doctor hurriedly came, and after some diagnosis and treatment, he said that it was due to the rush to attack the heart, causing old injuries, and there was no major problem.
