Chapter Seventy-Four: Death with the King
The change in Ruicheng touches the sensitive nerves of all parties. The Marquis of Jin had just landed on the shore, and the secret agent of Zheng Guo, who had been waiting for many days, quickly returned to report. So by the dawn of the next day, the digging had already gotten the news. He immediately rushed forward lightly, and rushed back with Xian Ke first. At this time, the Marquis of Jin retreated five miles to the east of the city and was stationed with some simple fortifications. Jing Sheng, who secretly opened the door last night, has also brought Shenhou and Ji Yijiu to meet.
Although Shenhou had promises and hints to dig out, he didn't know the plans behind them. So after he learned that the Marquis of Jin raided and captured Ji Yuchen, he was overjoyed. He boasted sensibly: "The Marquis of Jin is really a god!" You descended from heaven to exterminate the rebellious ministers and thieves, this merit can be compared to the 'Three Prisons Rebellion' of Zhou Fair in the past. ”
"How dare you, how dare you. The widow is just acting according to the strange plan laid out in advance, how dare he compare with the ancestors. Marquis Jin said modestly, "The really powerful one is Uncle Zheng." Where is he now? ”
Jing Sheng replied: "In Zhengcheng, you should have rushed back." If nothing else, I'll be there early tomorrow morning. ”
"Zheng Cheng?" Jin Hou obviously hadn't had time to figure out the ins and outs, and asked a little nervously, "Could it be that the Holy Sixth Master hasn't retreated?" ”
"I've retreated, and I've retreated to Hojing, which is three or four days away."
"That's good, that's good." The Marquis of Jin breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled happily, "The widow knows that Zheng Bo is resourceful, and there is nothing he plans that cannot be done." ”
"Of course. The son-in-law of the widow and the brother-in-law of the first king, that is a strange person who is not born in the world. Shenhou hurriedly pulled Ji Yijiu to rub the heat.
Jin Hou was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect such a thing to happen, and after reacting, he hurriedly said happily: "It turns out that you have finally got what you want, what a good thing." ”
Jing Sheng saw that the two parties were greeting each other, and the farther and farther away they were, and hurriedly reminded: "Everyone, the situation is tense, should we discuss how to go next?" ”
Jin Hou patted his head: "Yes, yes, this is a big deal." Now the top priority is to stabilize Rui Bo, and there are soldiers in his hands. The widow offended him thoroughly, so naturally he didn't have the face to come to the door. I'm going to have to bother you to get out of the way. ”
"No problem." Shen Hou patted his chest and said, "With the old face of the widow, Rui Bo always has to sell some face." Let's stand on the side of orthodoxy, and he will know the measure. ”
"Then please. When Uncle Zheng arrives, the next step will be easy. ”
So, Shenhou swaggered to see Rui Bo. He had already pinched Ji Yuchen in his hand, thinking that he would no longer need to throw a mouse bogey, and he had somewhat recovered the domineering momentum of the national ruler back then.
"Uncle Rui, don't come here to be harmed?"
"Humph! Ask while knowing the answer! You waited in my Ruicheng as if you were in a no-man's land, and you were embarrassed to lick your face and ask if the widow was okay? It's just brazen! ”
"Hehe, the widow is just polite. I'm afraid it's a bit rude for you to talk to the old man like this, right? ”
"Old man?" Rui Bo sniffed out the change in Shenhou's tone, "What happened to the Emperor of the City?" ”
"What is the son of the city? It's just a thief! ”
Rui Bo was taken aback, could it be that the Marquis of Jin had already abolished Ji Yuchen?
Shenhou saw that Rui Bo had lost his momentum, so he struck while the iron was hot: "If today's dispute between the sons is over, and the position of orthodoxy is clear, you have to stand in line!" Widow, this is your chance to make meritorious contributions. ”
Ruibo is caught in a struggle of ideas. He was unwilling to be led by the nose like a doll, but he was afraid that if the general situation was decided, it would be self-inflicted if he did not cooperate, so he waved a shot and said: "The widow has always been biased towards the son of Shencheng, you know this, but ......"
At this moment, the attendant interrupted Rui Bo's words and hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Wei is here." ”
"What?" Rui Bo was stunned, "Then ask him later." ”
"It's too late, he heard that Shenhou was inside, and immediately broke in......"
Sure enough, the Wei Hou people arrived before they appeared in the court: "Rui Bo Ah Rui Bo, Shen Hou is demagoguery, you can't mess up!" ”
The Tao is not the same, and the eyes are red. Shenhou was like a serf who had turned over, and he no longer wanted to look at Zhou Zhao's face. He immediately scolded: "Wei Hou Xiu wants to disturb the audio-visual, everyone should follow the destiny of heaven and take the avenue, and don't be obsessed with the orthodox right and wrong, otherwise they will be punished by the ancestors and ancestors." ”
"The widow is not interested in discussing with you which son of heaven is orthodox." Wei Hou sneered at Shen Hou's villain, "The widow asked Rui Bo, do you still want Rui Guo's face?" ”
Rui Bo didn't expect Wei Hou to be so aggressive, and he was frightened for a while.
"The Marquis of Jin first came uninvited, roared and said goodbye after the meeting, and now not only invaded for no reason, but also broke into the city, and even wantonly arrested people! All of this happened on the territory of Rui. If the widow is the king of the Rui country, he will suffer this great shame, it is better to cut the country and judge himself! ”
Shenhou had never seen such a "generous statement" from Wei Hou, and he suddenly felt bad in his heart. The old fox completely disregarded his feelings and etiquette, and made it clear that he was playing with the general!
Sure enough, the ministers of Rui began to stir, from whispering to righteous indignation in a matter of seconds. Several ministers who took the lead even began to shout that they wanted to recapture Ji Yuchen and humiliate the Marquis of Jin.
Shenhou panicked and hurriedly put down his shelf to persuade peace, but no one listened to him anymore. Faced with the current situation that is almost out of control, Rui Bo has to confront the Marquis of Jin head-on, whether he is forced by public opinion or really can't stand the humiliation.
"Ministers obey orders!" Rui Bo's face was solemn, and he roared in the boiling court, "Sima holds the talisman, the whole army is assembled, and the enemy is facing head-on!" Neizai held the festival, strictly warned the Marquis of Jin, and quickly retreated and released! ”
For a time, the court of Rui Guo was full of emotion. Wei Hou's stiff body stood in the hall, and a smug sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Shen Hou had unconsciously retreated to the side of the hall, panicking like a lost dog and finding an opportunity to quickly withdraw.
As soon as Shenhou returned to the camp, he cried, which made Jinhou nervous. Although the Rui army is a small country's army, it is a regular army. Although the Jin army came from a powerful country, it came by surprise. The flood drift was not comparable to normal shipping, not only the number of people transported, but also the chariots, horses, grain, grass and baggage were uneven. If you really want to fight, the Jin army is really hanging.
The Marquis of Jin had no choice but to order to dig a ditch and build a fence to strengthen the defense. Shenhou couldn't help but ask: "They want Ji Yuchen, do you pay it or not?" ”
"Of course, carry it first, at least you have to drag Uncle Zheng over, right?"
"According to the widow, kill it. Let them go to ghosts. Ji Yijiu, who had always let his grandfather be the spokesperson, finally jumped out, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he showed a murderous aura.
Shenhou was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and hurriedly helped to encourage the Marquis of Jin: "Yes, they should be killed, if you kill them, you will be unknown." ”
Jin Hou thought about it and actually nodded, which surprised Jing Sheng on the side. He quickly reminded, "This is not appropriate, right? Marquis of Jin, you are a prince, you should not kill people from the royal family, right? ”
"What about the royal family?" The Marquis of Jin suddenly became stern, "The most unaccustomed thing for the widow is these evil uncles who bully their nephews, and they should be killed if they usurp the throne!" ”
Jing Sheng listened, and then remembered the experience of being seized by his uncle when Marquis Jin was young, and instantly understood the reason for his main killing. Shenhou, a human spirit, naturally discovered this mystery and immediately began to add oil and vinegar: "What the Marquis of Jin said is very true, the royal family is such a scum, and the crime is added to the first. If it is not severely punished, the world does not know how many princes will follow suit. ”
"Such a big matter, at least wait for Uncle Zheng to come back and discuss it, right?" Jing Sheng had no choice but to move out of his master to block it. The Marquis of Jin still respected Uncle Zheng, and after hearing this, his right hand, which was about to give orders, was slowly lowered again.
Suddenly, the herald made an urgent report, saying that the Rui army had been assembled at the east gate, and was coming over with Rui's envoy to kill the generals violently, and it would arrive in an hour at most. Shenhou was anxious and shouted: "When it is broken, it will be broken, otherwise it will be too late!" ”
Jin Hou's expression was gloomy to the extreme, and he barely squeezed out a few words from his mouth that was almost deformed: "Then kill." Shenhou was overjoyed when he got the order, and hurriedly plucked Jin Sima and said, "Did you hear that?" Don't go yet! ”
Pity the son of heaven Ji Yuchen who took the city, he still had illusions when he set off, and after several ups and downs on the way to the meeting, he finally ended up dying in a foreign country. As the saying goes, "you can't do porcelain work without diamonds", Ji Yuchen can't compare to Ji Yijiu in terms of personal ability or the backer group behind him. It was precisely because of his incompetence that his trip to Ruicheng became a journey of death.
Soon, Rui Jun pressed to the front of the battle, and the envoy directly came to the door to ask for the guilt.
At this time, the number of seats in the Jin army tent has changed greatly. Ji Yijiu sat in the center in the name of Zhou Tianzi, and the Marquis of Shen and Marquis of Jin were on the left and right. Seeing this, Rui rebuked loudly: "Are you waiting for this to privately determine the orthodoxy of the Son of Heaven? Where are you going to take the son of heaven with you? ”
The Marquis of Jin didn't talk nonsense, threw Ji Yuchen's head out, grunted the blood all the way, and rolled directly to the feet of Rui Envoy.
