Chapter 20: Where is faith?

After Wei Hou said this, he looked left and right with a smile, and said no more, obviously handing over the next venue to Zhou and Han. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing Wei Hou's words, Ning Yue, who had already been prepared, suddenly jumped up as if he heard the sound of a horn, slowly walked to the middle of the earth platform, and after saluting Wei Hou and Han Hou successively, he gave up his hand and spoke.

"Gentlemen, in the past, the king of Kao sealed his brother in Luoyang, although the name is called the Principality of Zhou, but the Duke of Zhou is also a minister of Zhou, leading the position of my royal family, taking the responsibility of my court to participate in politics, and Luoyang is the royal city of the Zhou family built by Zhou Gongdan, and now Jiuding is still in Luoyang, for a hundred years, Luoyang still bears the grain and grass of the Zhou royal family, which shows that although Luoyang is the former Zhou Principality, it is still one with my Zhou royal family."

This is to start from the beginning of this incident, everyone present listened carefully, only to see Ning Yue take two steps and continue.

"Since Zhou Weigong went, his eldest son Ji Chao sealed my royal decree and assumed the position of Duke of Zhou, and his name is well deserved. However, there is still a class of young sons of Zhou Weigong, who was bewitched by others, occupied Gongyi, and wanted to usurp the position of Zhou Gong, so the Zhou Dynasty united with our royal division to send troops to the east to conquer Gongyi, although it was won in one fell swoop, but the Zhou Dynasty was unfortunately killed by traitors that night, so that he died young, what a pity! Speaking of this, Ning Yue couldn't help but show a painful expression.

But after a moment, Ning Yue returned to normal, and then said, "The Duke of Zhou Dynasty passed away, leaving only the eldest son of Gongzhi, who was only seven years old, and he was unworthy of the great responsibility of Duke Zhou, so he invited my royal family to return to Luoyang and preside over the overall situation." As I said earlier, the Duchy of Zhou and the royal family are one, and Luoyang is the royal city, so the return of the royal family to Luoyang is a matter of good luck. Unexpectedly, there was a class of the young son of Zhou Weigong who escaped and was obtained by South Korea, so the Korean general Han Hu actually led hundreds of thousands of troops to offend the land of my Wangji, and attacked our royal city Luoyang, so that Jiuding shook, and the ancestors of the past dynasties were uneasy in the Taimiao, woohoo, what a crime! Is this a deception to the poverty of my royal family? The following are more than this! ”

After saying that, Ning Yue looked at Han Houwu fiercely. In fact, these words, true or false, many of the stories behind them have not been told, but history is written by the victors, who will pay attention to whether the royal family's return to Luoyang is the son of the Zhou Dynasty, who will think about the seven-year-old child of the Gonggong, but the son of Zhou Tianzi is only nine years old, can he preside over the overall situation?

But Ning Yue's words were still sonorous and powerful, so Wei Hou and everyone on the party all looked at Han Hou, and Zhou Bian also cooperated with his eyes and made an angry look at Han Hou Wu. It's just that the appearance of a child who hasn't grown up should still be more cute.

However, Han Hou didn't pay attention to the glaring of the king of the Zhou family, but turned his head to Wei Hou and said.

"So that Wei Jun knows that the first king was deceived by the villain, and mistakenly thought that the Zhou royal family had been unfair in handling the internal affairs of the Zhou principality, so he raised troops for the public, not to despise Zhou Ding, but to hope that the prince and the marquis would forgive!"

Wei Hou waved his hand, "Zhou Tianzi is still here, let's say this to Zhou Jun." ”

Han Houwu turned his head at this time, "King, the first king was indeed deceived by the villain, so he was offended, but fortunately, Wei Hou is here to testify, and Dr. Guining explained the facts, and Han confessed his mistake." Now our Korean army has retreated from Luoyang, and has been requisitioned by the righteous division led by the Marquis of Wei, the ancestor has died, and the national strength has been damaged, and he has been punished. I hope that the king will be generous and forgive the sins of his courtiers! ”

After saying that, Han Hou stood up and bent down at Zhou Bian to salute.

However, Zhou Bian pouted, did not calm down, confessed his guilt to the Son of Heaven, and did not kneel, which clearly despised the Son of Heaven.

Ning Yue, who was already standing on the side, suddenly spoke again, "Since Han Hou kept saying that he was deceived by the villain, then hand over the villain now." ”

Taking advantage of Ning Yue's words, Han Houwu stood up, turned his head and replied to Ning Yue, "Doctor Ning, forgive me, when the Han army attacked Luoyang for a long time, that son's class saw that my Han Shi was weak, so he left without saying goodbye. ”

Ning Yue frowned, "Among the hundreds of thousands of troops, how can you say goodbye without saying goodbye?" Could it be that Han Hou still wants to shield that sinner? ”

"Doctor Guining, the first Junxing army of 150,000, I thought that Luoyang would be broken in a few days, who would watch the Gongzi class, so the army let it come and go freely, but I didn't want to go all out, or I didn't want to attack Luoyang for a long time, our generals were anxious, who still paid attention to the Gongzi class, so they let it escape, so that now they offended the big country, but they can't explain." Han Hou replied word by word.

Is that really the case? Zhou Bian shook his head but didn't believe it, Gongzi Ban was an important figure after the capture of Luoyang, how could he not be strictly guarded? So South Korea must be lying, thinking of this, Zhou Bian looked at Wei Hou to see what Wei Hou's reaction was.

Unexpectedly, he saw this, but found that Wei Hou looked thoughtful, Zhou Bian's heart suddenly moved, it was broken, Han Hou wanted to exaggerate the strength of the Zhou royal family in front of Wei Hou, what went all out or couldn't attack for a long time, this was clearly said to Wei Hou, always reminding Wei Hou of how far the Zhou room has developed.

It seems that the exchanges between major countries are still inevitably deceitful and intriguing, and Han Hou wants to use the hand of Wei Hou to suppress the Zhou royal family.

So Zhou Bian shook his head lightly at Ning Yue, who immediately understood and said loudly.

"If this is the case, it is still the luck of the sinner, but from today on, although the world is big, there will be no place for the sinner, and the son's class will eventually end in fear."

Immediately after Ning Yue's voice changed, "However, because the Han army was mistakenly provoked, my royal family suffered heavy casualties, inside and outside Luoyi, there were constant cries every night, and the royal family was insufficient, so that the palace collapsed and could not be repaired, who is to blame?" Woohoo, it's all the fault of the Korean army. Jin Ning is here, taking advantage of the prestige of Wei Hou, and dares to ask Han Hou, how to apologize? ”

I said a lot earlier, and finally got to the point, Zhou Bian suddenly perked up and pricked up his ears.

I only heard Han Houwu reply in a deep voice. "Han is willing to compensate for the loss of the Zhou room on behalf of the ancestors. I, South Korea, am willing to sacrifice 2,000 slaves and 2,000 female slaves to serve the king in Luoyang. ”

"Humph!"

Ning Yue sneered.

"In order to protect my Luoyang royal city, so that the temple Jiuding from being frightened, under the command of my king, the people of Wang Ji died more than 25,000, more than 10,000 seriously injured, more than 50,000 wounded, the Son of Heaven pro-army general Pang Xing also died, in addition to Gongyi City burned down, Luoyang city wall gate was damaged, for the purpose of defending the city, demolished 5,000 people in the city, and then demolished 20 palace halls, and in addition, this autumn grain and grass income was damaged, Luoyang was trapped for two months, grain and grass consumption is innumerable, and now the palace has been in short supply, the queen mother can only eat and dress in the palace. With such a huge loss, today Han Hou only wants to be accompanied by a mere 2,000 male slaves and 2,000 female slaves, so he wants to do it, not to mention that Wei Hou can't stand it here, even if it is rumored in the future, how will the people of the world think of you Hanren? ”

The more he spoke, the more stern Ning Yue's tone became, and in the end he almost roared, and it was really imposing.

Wei Hou, who only spoke, also nodded again and again, and everyone turned to Han Hou to look.

At this time, Han Hou had already returned to his seat and sat down, but he didn't expect that someone jumped out behind Han Hou, but it was a young son.

This prince first bent down to Wei Hou, and then arched his hand at Zhou Bian, and then said, "Wei Hou, Zhou Jun, my lords, I am Han Gongziqing, the son of the first monarch and the declining prince. Since we are talking about casualties, then I South Korea offended Luoyang in the first battle, more than 45,000 people died, more than 10,000 were seriously injured, and more than 30,000 were injured. Therefore, I thought that since my marquis has confessed his guilt and the Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, why don't you just laugh at it, and it will also be a good reputation of the royal family, I don't know what Dr. Ning thinks? ”

As soon as Gongziqing's words fell, Ning Yue immediately began to fight back, "Your Xianjun Gonghou lost 40,000 soldiers, but he misheard the words of others. Otherwise, does the child's class have Korean soldiers? Can the childe class say that the general Han Hu is moved? No, neither. Therefore, the losses of the Han army were self-inflicted, but they talked about asking others to compensate for them, wouldn't it be in vain to make the world laugh? And my royal family is not, the loss of the royal family is due to the burden of the Korean army, and as everyone knows, the land occupied by my royal family is only between Heluo, and the two towns in Hedong of Hebei were taken by South Korea the year before last, and the royal family has long been insufficient, and now it has to rely on the business to subsidize one or two, and the embarrassment can be seen. Therefore, our king decided that the offense of the Han army should not be put down gently, lest the people of the world think that my royal family is easy to bully. ”

Ning Yue's answer is not inappropriate, but the behavior of the Han people always makes Zhou Bian feel that something is wrong, if the Han people only want the royal family to accept a small amount of compensation, then there is no need to say that the Han army died more than 45,000 people, and ask who to find for compensation, isn't it a joke? But Gongziqing just said it, since Gongziqing can stand behind Han Hou today, it means that he is a carefully selected courtier, and he is by no means a rash person.

So what's the point of saying this? Suddenly, Zhou Bian squinted and caught a glimpse of Wei Hou's eyes flickering a little, and Zhou Bian suddenly understood in his heart that Gongziqing deliberately said it to Wei Hou, the purpose was to emphasize that the Han army had died more than 40,000, and it was after Ning Yue had just said that Luoyang had died 25,000, so Gongziqing said this in order to form a sharp contrast with the loss of the royal family, which was to remind Wei Hou that the combat effectiveness of the Zhou royal family was no longer what it used to be.

The Koreans are really cunning, and they are really calculating. However, Zhou Bian quickly thought of a way to deal with it, and before Ning Yue could finish speaking, Zhou Bian turned around and secretly whispered to Wang Sunman, who immediately nodded in understanding.

So, as soon as Ning Yue's words fell, Wang Sunman jumped out, and after saluting Wei Hou Han Hou, he asked that Gongzi Qing, "Gongzi Qingxiu wants to talk nonsense, the strength of the Han army is far better than my Luoyang Wang Shi, Gongzi Qing said that more than 45,000 people died, I am afraid that most of them were damaged by Shiqiu, Huayang and Xinzheng, but it should be counted on the head of my royal family, and deliberately said to listen to Wei Hou, what is the intention?" Could it be that Wei Hou can't compensate you? ”

was refuted by the two ministers of the royal family, Gongziqing suddenly felt a little unbearable, waved his hand and said, "I didn't say that I wanted Wei Hou to compensate, I just want both of you and me to be damaged, and I have been punished in South Korea, the royal family is generous, why not laugh at it?" ”

"Then why exaggerate that there are more than 45,000 dead? Could it be that there are many people who die, so that they can win the sympathy of the king of my family? What a lie. Ning Yue, who reacted, immediately had a seizure.

"Where is there any lie? This is true. Gongzi Qingqiang replied, but his face was already a little bad.

Taking advantage of Gongziqing's answer, Zhou Bian peeked over and saw that the expression on Wei Hou's face became wonderful.

On Han Hou's side, seeing that Gongziqing couldn't cope anymore, an old man with white hair and beard immediately jumped out behind Han Houwu, waved his hand and signaled Gongziqing to retreat, and then the old man replied after saluting, "The old man is Han Chao, the king of Zhou and the marquis of Wei are current, how dare the old man talk nonsense." Don't be afraid of Wei Hou's jokes, our army attacked Luoyang, the number of casualties, what Gongziqing said is true. Now that King Zhou and Marquis Wei are here, how dare we deceive? ”

Han Chao is an old minister of South Korea, and even Wei Hou has heard a lot, so after hearing Han Chao's words, he nodded again and again.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Ning Yue also became more temperamental, and after hearing this, he took his eyes sideways and said, "There is no basis for empty words, Dr. Han can say it in many more places, who knows?" ”

This is clearly a pick, Han Chao's eyes were on fire, he held the one-foot white flower's long beard with his hand, and said angrily, "The old man is here, it is the evidence, and the kid is not talking nonsense." Since the kid said that there is no basis for my empty words, what is the basis for the words of the others to say that more than 25,000 people died in Luoyang? ”

I didn't think that this Han Chao would be so easily provoked, but he startled Zhou Bian, and when he squinted, Wei Hou also had a slight disdain in his eyes, indeed, such an old person, he couldn't wait to jump up and scold other people's boys, it was indeed not very elegant.

However, Ning Yue was very calm, and said after sneering, "Since my royal family is here for a claim, how can it not be convincing. Come, take the letter! ”

This latter sentence was shouted under the platform.

Hearing this roar, everyone on the earthen platform couldn't help but look down, only to see a few people coming out of the royal guards, each with a pile of bamboo slips in their hands, and when they heard the sound, they walked towards the earthen platform, but they didn't want to let Wei Hou's guards stop them.

Wei Hou was also full of curiosity, and waved his hand lightly, and naturally the general ordered him to go down and let him go. So the ten men walked up one by one, but the area on the earthen platform was small, and the royal guards behind them could only stand on the steps.

Ning Yue turned around and took the large pile of bamboo slips from the first guard, turned around and put them in front of Wei Hou, "Lord Wei, please see, this is copied from Luoyang overnight after learning that Han Hou Ken confessed. When the Korean army attacked Luoyang, our royal family asked people to record the soldiers who died in battle every day. ”

While he was talking here, Wei Hou opened the first bamboo slip on the face, and saw that it was written with a neat small seal, "On the first day, on the city, Gongyi West Liu's black, Chengzhou North Li Qi." And so on and so forth.

After introducing Wei Hou here, Ning Yue turned around and went to fetch a bunch of bamboo slips and put them in front of Han Hou. "Han Hou can also take a look, and he will know that what I said is more than 25,000 true. There are clear records in this book, of which day, where, and why he died, whether he died on the spot in the city or died of serious injuries after the battle. This is the letter of my royal family. ”

Ning Yue landed on the ground, not only Han Hou, but also Wei Hou was also shocked, even Han Chao also grabbed a volume to watch it carefully, and they all read one book after another. In the world of the ancients, the atmosphere was still relatively simple, so what was written on the text was considered true, so no one on both sides of Han and Wei objected.

I only heard Ning Yue continue, "I am ten people, each holding twenty-five volumes, each volume records one hundred people, exactly more than twenty-five thousand, but some of them can't find their names and surnames, or some are still seriously injured, and they are not in the record. Anyway, it's mostly here. ”

(Thank you very much Lin Yunyi for the three consecutive days of rewarding, which made me happy.) )
