Chapter 287: Departure from the Voyage
The news of Qi State's surrender reached the back hall, and Emperor Yinwen Long Yan Dayue, when the dynasty drafted a decree, named Situ Hao as the general of Zhenguo. Feng Ye Yuanhang is the left envoy of Liang Guozuo, and the official residence is a product. As soon as the decree was issued from the back hall, the voyage returned to the back hall.
Emperor Yinwen saw Yuanhang in the study, and after the monarch and ministers saw the ceremony, Emperor Yinwen could not hide his joy, and praised: "Yuanhang, now that my Liang State has unified the Central Plains, you have made immortal contributions to Liang, say, what reward do you want?" ”
Yuanhang hurriedly got up, bowed down and said: "The Holy One is a rare Ming monarch for thousands of years, the world should belong to you, even if there is no voyage, you will reign in the world, and all the people will congratulate you." ”
"Okay, my ears itch when I hear the compliments." Emperor Yin Wen smiled and waved his hand, knowing the temperament of the voyage, he would only slap the horse.
"Your Majesty, if you really want to reward it, then the minister is brave, please reward the minister with the house where the minister lives now."
"I live in it, but after all, it is an official family, and if you reward me, it will be my private house." Yuanhang smiled cheekily, deceived the house first, and then mentioned the matter of resignation.
"What's so hard about this, the house is given to you." Emperor Yin Wen disagreed, and readily agreed.
"Thank you to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."
"By the way, Yuantuan, this King of Qi has surrendered, but Nubei occupies Chenzhou, I want Situ Hao to continue to go north and drive away Nubei, what do you think?"
Yuanhang knew that the emperor would ask like this, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the minister came back this time for this matter." Yuanhang bowed, retreated and sat down, and said: "Our army has been fighting for a long time, and the soldiers are tired, but Nubei has a lot of recuperation for many days, and if the war starts, it will only be detrimental to our army. The minister believes that when the king of Qi descends, the saint should be lenient and should be given the city of the king of Qi, so that the people of the world will praise the benevolence of the saint. ”
"The city must be given, I have decided to give Luzhou to the King of Qi, what do you think?" Emperor Yin Wen is also stingy enough, although Luzhou has been repaired for several years, it has also appeared, but after all, it has been severely damaged, and it is still much worse than other cities.
"It's not right to be holy." Yuanhang shook his head and said: "Luzhou is in the south, and Nubei is in the north, if the king of Qi is unwilling and rebels, won't the saint face enemies?" ”
"We dissipated his forces and only trapped him in Luzhou, how did he turn against him?"
"According to the minister's opinion, Chen Zhou should be given to the king of Qi." Yuanhang said: "First, Chenzhou is a city that connects the Central Plains outside the Saiwai, and the king of Qi is in the middle of the two countries, so he will not dare to move lightly, and use the king of Qi to block the angry and humiliated, if the angry and humble soldiers, they will let them fight each other." Second, we have an agreement with Nubei, although he has lost the alliance by occupying Chenzhou, but our army is not conducive to fighting again at this time. It is better to throw the mess to the king of Qi, and if he retreats angrily, the king of Qi will enter Chenzhou. If he does not retreat, the saint will give the king of Qi the original troops, so that before going to recapture Chenzhou, our army can also sit on the mountain to watch the tiger, and then look for fighters. ”
After hearing this, Emperor Yin Wen suddenly opened his mouth and pointed to the distant voyage: "You still have a lot of scheming, so that they can fight each other, and you can also achieve me." Anyway, I gave you Chen Zhou, if you have the ability, you can take it yourself, no wonder you can't take it down. If you take it, you can only give it to me to garrison the border pass, so that they will lose both. Haha, brilliant plan. ”
Yuanhang also echoed and laughed, and while Emperor Yin Wen was happy, he proposed to resign.
"Your Majesty, now that the Central Plains has been leveled, the minister wants to resign from his official position and return to Jiangzhou to spend the rest of his life in peace."
"What?" Emperor Yin Wen thought that he had misheard, and blinked his eyes again and again, looking at him in disbelief, "You say it again." ”
"The minister wants to resign and return to Jiangzhou." Yuanhang straightened up and repeated.
"Why? I have just made a decree to promote you as the envoy of the left, and you are already an official residence, but don't you think it is enough? ”。 This time, Emperor Yin Wen heard it clearly, asked with a surprised face, and his hands clenched unconsciously.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood, the voyage is a grass people, and only after the love of the saint can you be fortunate to enter the court as an official. It's just that I have a lazy temperament and don't know how to be an official, so I just want to be unrestrained and carefree, and I ask the Holy Lord's permission. Yuanhang stood up and bowed to the ground, begging Emperor Yin Wen to agree.
"Yuanhang, since you have a lazy temperament, then I allow you not to go to the court every day, but only enter the palace when you have important matters to discuss, okay?" How could Emperor Yinwen be willing to sail away, and actually let go of his identity as an emperor and begged to get up.
Yuanhang was moved in his heart, Emperor Yin Wen was really interesting to himself. "Holy Lord, won't this corrupt the court." Yuanhang straightened up and said: "Although I am a citizen, but my heart is about the saint, as long as the country is in trouble, there is no need for the saint to recruit him, the voyage will go to the soup and fire, and I will not give up." ”
Emperor Yin Wen saw that he had made up his mind about the voyage, so he didn't say much, but he was a little regretful, "Since you have made up your mind, I don't think you will change it, so I will approve you." But you must remember that you will always be the humerus of the Great Liang, and my palace will come and go with you. ”
Yuanhang was moved in his heart, knelt down on his knees, kowtowed to Emperor Yinwen three times, got up and said: "Thank you for the saint's love, I will live in the garrison mansion, you can build a new garrison." ”
When Emperor Yinwen said this, Emperor Yinwen remembered why he had to go to that house before, he dared to be premeditated, and he fell into his trap again.
After asking Emperor Yinwen, he sailed out of the study and was led by Wang Jin to Fuxi Palace, where he wanted to see the Queen Mother.
"I said Lord Ye, you don't want to be a good official, but you want to be an ordinary person, our family is really confused about you." Wang Jin listened carefully outside the door of the study, and he was anxious. He hoped that Yuanhang would change his mind, and that the emperor would not allow him. Until Yuanhang came out of the study, Wang Jin had already complained about him all the way.
"Hehe, the prince, everyone has their own ambitions, now I am for the people, and I will need the prince to take care of me in the future." It's okay for Yuanhang to be idle, and he played tricks with Wang Jin.
"Come on, it's already like this, it's useless for us to talk about it." Wang Jin waved his hand, stopped his steps and turned sideways to salute Yuanhang, "Our family remembers Lord Ye's goodness for the rest of my life, don't say that adults need it, as long as anyone dares to be disrespectful to you, our family will call him good-looking." ”
Yuanhang returned the salute and helped Wang Jin up, reached out to pat him on the shoulder, turned around and walked forward. It seems that the rootless guy is also emotional.
Entering Fuxi Palace, he sailed to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, telling her that he had resigned and was about to return to Jiangzhou. After the Empress Dowager knew about Chen Fu, she was calm here, and it was all the work of the voyage. After telling Yuanhang to treat Princess Pingyao well, the Queen Mother personally selected all kinds of jewelry and gave them to several ladies of Yuanhang. After waiting for them to thank them, Yuanhang left Fuxi Palace.
The unofficial was light, sailed out of the palace, stood outside the palace gate and exhaled. I suddenly remembered that there was another person, and he must go to say goodbye before leaving the back hall, that is, he has the grace of knowing himself.
Zhan Hu had nothing to do, he was taking a nap at noon, and suddenly felt some pain in his jaw, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Yuanhang was pulling his beard and smiling at himself.
"Ouch, you bastard." Zhan Hu got up and didn't get up. Yuanhang hurriedly loosened his beard and reached out to help him.
Zhan Hu sat up, turned and put his legs down on the bed, and tucked them into his shoes.
"Voyage, the old man heard that you have made great contributions in front of me a while ago, and I am so happy in my heart. The saint issued a decree to appoint you as the left envoy, and the official positions went to the front of the old man. Zhan Hu loves Yuanhang from the bottom of his heart, and always inquires about his news. Knowing that the Qi State was destroyed and sailing away to make meritorious contributions, it was as if he had made meritorious contributions, and he drunk himself that night.
"Don't dare, don't dare, kid is always behind your ass." Yuanhang smiled and helped him up, and walked to the outer hall together.
Zhan Hu asked him to sit down, and then asked, "When did you go back to the back hall, and why did you go back?" ”
Yuanhang didn't hide it, and said that he was here to resign, and he shook his head when he listened.
"You bastard, no matter how many people ask for it, you still resigned, didn't you hurt your head in the war." Zhan Hu was angry, and reached out to touch Yuanhang's forehead. Yuanhang dodged his head in a flash, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my head is very valuable, how can it hurt." ”
"Alas!" Zhan Hu shook his head helplessly, and looked at Yuanhang with strange eyes, "What are you going to do after you resign?" Or go back and open a restaurant? ”
Yuanhang snorted and laughed, and the laughter was inexplicable.
"I said Lord Zhan, did I hurt my head or you?" Yuanhang leaned over and whispered: "I've been an official for a few years, why don't you get some money to cross the river, and you still need to open a restaurant." ”
"Ah, too, too." Zhan Hu laughed a few times, and suddenly stretched out his hand and gave Yuanhang a bang, "It's not a small courage, it seems that you haven't made a lot of money." ”
"Oh, you're so old, how can you have such a big hand." Yuanhang covered his head and rubbed it vigorously, and said a little wronged: "I deserve it, and the emperor intends to reward me." ”
Zhan Hu nodded, and said earnestly: "Even if it is a reward from the emperor, you will naturally keep it, but don't loot it on the people." ”
"Look at what you said, even if I loot you, I won't loot the people." Yuanhang joked, muttering to himself, "The people only have a few money......
"It seems that you have a lot of things, and the old man wants to give you some items......"
"You don't need any items, if you have a granddaughter, and your granddaughter is of the right age, you can give it to me." After Yuanhang finished speaking, he saw Zhanhu's beard trembling, and knew that he was going to be beaten again, so he laughed and ran away.
Cang Xiangtian led his troops back to Chenzhou, and when King Qian learned that Qi had surrendered, he failed to see the scene of their defeat, so he recalled the Alilu army on the east road to Chenzhou. After all, the main forces of the Liang army are all there, and they still can't compete with them.
"King Qian, Ye Yuanhang once came to our army and persuaded us to give up Chenzhou and return to Saiwai." Cang Xiangtian stood beside King Qian, watching King Qian lie on the table, which was covered with a simple map of the Central Plains.
"Give up Chenzhou?" King Qian turned his head, looked up at Cang Xiangtian, and suddenly laughed, "Haha, this Ye Yuanhang actually gave me orders." King Rhi stood up, walked to the other side of the table, brought the teacup to his lips, and suddenly stopped. said: "Chen Zhou was defeated by us, and many warriors were killed in battle, and it was a joke that he returned it to him with a word." ”
Cang Xiangtian replied: "King Qian, if King Liang is angry and sends troops over, what about it?" ”
King Qian snorted coldly, "The three cities outside the fortress are all in my hands, the Liang State is attacking, even if Chenzhou is not guaranteed, you can also retreat to the outside of the fortress, with the Chenzhou Bridge as a barrier, can they still attack the past?" ”。
"King Qian, with all due respect, if you don't retreat outside the Saiwai, I'm afraid it will be in line with Liang Guo's wishes, but I'm afraid that it will be impossible to retreat again."
King Qian frowned and asked, "Why did Xiang Tian say this?" ”
Cang Xiangtian said: "Ye Yuanhang told me that King Liang would give Chen Zhou to the King of Qi, crown him as the King of Chen Zhou, and order him to garrison Chen Zhou. When the decree comes, the king of Qi will come to Chenzhou. If we let it, we can, if we don't, the king of Liang will give the original soldiers of Qi to the king of Qi. At that time, the king of Qi had nowhere to stay, and he would attack Chenzhou with all his might, and no matter what the victory or defeat, the king of Liang would reap the benefits. If it really hurts his vitality, how could Liang Guo let go of such an opportunity? ”
"What if we form an alliance with the Qi State and join forces to attack the Liang State?"
Cang Xiangtian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "King Qian, you underestimated Ye Yuanhang. He can take the king of Qi as a hostage and let the Qi army attack Chenzhou, how can the Qi army ally with us. ”
The king was silent, but pondered. This Ye Yuanhang is indeed scheming, and he threw the spearhead to the Qi army and himself, if the two sides fight, the Liang army will have a final net, but I am afraid that the Qi country and the anger will be erased. But just let out Chenzhou like this, and I was unwilling, this city was piled up by the corpses of angry warriors.
"King Qian, when Ye Yuanhang was leaving, he also left a sentence for his subordinates to convey to you."
"What?"
He said that the Central Plains is too big to gallop a horse. The outside of the plug is wide, so that the eagle can fly. Cang Xiangtian paused word by word, and said what Yuanhang said.
The King was silent, savoring the words of the voyage. Yes, I have enough to live in the realm of anger, why bother to invade the Central Plains ambitiously. Only in one's own place can one live freely.
A few days later, the holy decree of Emperor Yinwen reached the hands of Situ Hao, who sent an envoy to Chenzhou to deliver the book, and the King of Qi would come to Chenzhou five days later. King Qian responded and sent an order down, the army was prepared, and three days later he evacuated Chenzhou.
On the morning of the third day, the Nubei army drove out of Chenzhou and returned to Saiwai in the north. King Qian looked back in the car, and Chen Zhou gradually moved away. King Qian secretly made a decision, and if there was a voyage in one day, he would not enter the Central Plains. This is a later story, the king kept his promise, until the voyage died, Nubei re-entered the Central Plains, and started a protracted war with the Great Liang.
The voyage hummed a little song, and hurried without hurrying or slowing. They looked at each other behind their horses, and chuckled.
"My lord seems to be even happier when he has stepped down." As soon as Dao Zi finished speaking, Wuying continued: "Didn't the Lord instruct me to change my name to Young Master from now on." ”
Ah Jin smiled and pointed at him, "Aren't you also called an adult." ”
Wuying paused, and laughed, "It's really hard to change your words for a while." ”
Yuanhang listened carefully from the front, and shouted without looking back: "There are officials pressing the mountain, and no officials are light, from now on, we can all live happily." ”
Several people laughed, let go of their mounts, and trotted forward.
