Chapter 139: The Storm is Coming
On the way full of flowers and applause, Meng Li led the army to the outskirts of the capital slowly.
Just like the last time, a crowd appeared again under the willows of Baqiao, cheering for the Yannan Marquis who wiped out the Hun army in two sorties and beheaded the wolf god Maodun.
Compared with the last time, this time Meng Li's record does not have a little bit of moisture. Breaking the last 100,000 elite troops assembled by the Xiongnu, annihilating 50,000, capturing 50,000, plus the harvest along the way of Chen Qingzhi's first attack, this time is really too great, so big that the whole country of the Han Kingdom, which has been silent for 600 years, rejoices.
& Xi Yan Nanhou defeated the Huns, the old minister Zhang Yuan has seen His Royal Highness the Hou of Yan Nan~"
It stands to reason that even if it is an important person or a great achievement, according to the practice of the Han Kingdom, the person who has never let the person with the position of the right prime minister come out to greet him. But I don't know what kind of thoughts the emperor had in order to let the right prime minister Zhang Yuan come this time, and he was rejoicing in Meng Li's rare achievements in 600 years? Still, in order to sue all the forces in the capital, the ownership of this throne has been decided. Don't you see that the right prime minister above 10,000 people under one person has been sent to meet the future emperor~
&It's Prime Minister Zhang, Prime Minister Zhang, please get up quickly~"
After seeing the old man in front of him who was shaking his beard and reporting to the door, Meng Li, who was not surprised, hurriedly said on the horse.
Seeing this right prime minister of the Han Kingdom coming to greet him, this has already shown the emperor's thoughts. It seems that the speculation of the strategist group under Meng Li's command is completely correct, Emperor Meng Chang's body is already terminally ill, and the issue of the heir needs to be determined urgently. And he took a series of steps, whether it was sending an embroidered messenger to escort or the right prime minister to greet him. Or Meng Li's leading army into Kyoto clearly expressed his voice to the people of the world, that is, he was bent on establishing Mengli, Marquis of Yannan, as the next emperor of the Han Kingdom!
&Yannanhou~"
Although the spirit is radiant. But his body could no longer support him to bow down. Hearing Meng Li's invitation, he hurriedly straightened up and gasped for breath with some trembling.
To say that the sudden rise of this Yannan Marquis and the attention of the emperor were really beyond his expectations. However, he has to admit that if this Yannanhou continues according to his current state, he is really a rare Ming Lord, a British Lord. Or even the hegemon who created a generation of hegemony, but so what, and what does it have to do with his interests?
Although his family may have grown step by step because of the strength of the Han Kingdom. The phoenix tail is good, but there are still many families on it that suppress them, so how can the Zhang family, who has always been used to being the boss, be good? How can this psychological gap be bridged?
So this time it was not so much that the emperor sent him, but that he took the initiative to invite him. He wants to take a serious and careful look at this extraordinary Yannanhou, and see how good he is, worthy of a steady stream of people and families.
If Meng Li is really as good as he has been in the past four years, he needs to consider the future positioning of the family, and a wise emperor will not allow any of his courtiers to have a powerful opportunity. In that case, maybe he will have to take the initiative to give some of his years of accumulation in exchange for the trust of this current Yannanhou; Contrarily. If this Yannanhou himself is not outstanding, and his achievements in the past four years have all been obtained by the planning of his subordinates, he will resolutely oppose his ascent to the top. Because in that case, Yan Nanhou, who is not wise but relies on his command, will definitely reuse his current team. and despise the forces of the capital, so they will not have a chance to come out in the future. In addition, no matter how good the command is, if the monarch wastes firewood. In the troubled times in the future, it is not possible to grasp this boat that is about to collide with the world's heroes, and sooner or later the boat will be destroyed and people will die. It's better to get rid of it as soon as possible.
So the original intention of his coming this time was to observe this Yannanhou well, if it was suitable. It's also a good idea to find out the price of the bet!
&Nanhou, please accept the cheers of the people, and then please go to the capital quickly, His Majesty has been waiting for Yannanhou for a long time in front~"
The old man seemed to have done enough to do his work, and he had been standing here for a long time, and his breath was obvious. And the emperor seems to attach great importance to it, unlike the last time.
&Enter~"
With a wave of his hand, he rode forward with his newly acquired halberd. And Zhang Yuan, the right prime minister here, climbed into a carriage with the support of his subordinates, and followed the army slowly.
&Han Weiwu~"
&Han, Dahan~"
& years old, long live~"
……
This time, the cheering crowd was more numerous and more energetic. I don't know if someone arranged it or if the people were independent, but there was a small group of people chanting long live, which scared Meng Li.
But looking at the disregarded gazes of the soldiers around him, Meng Li hesitated for a moment and didn't stop them.
And Zhang Yuan in the back frame heard the sound of 'Long live', but his heart moved suddenly, and he opened the curtain of the frame at a lightning speed, and his sensitive appearance seemed to use up all his energy.
After a little hesitation, Zhang Yuan still opened the corner of the curtain and secretly aimed at the people who were chanting long live. I don't know if he saw something, or if he was mocking something. On the old face, the dungeon's frowning brow tightened even more, and the originally lifeless eyes narrowed, bursting out with a thousand essences, and then seemed to think about something. After grinning bitterly, he shook his head and lowered the corner of the curtain.
……
If it is said that under the willows of the Baqiao, the people of the ten-mile long pavilion are redundant clouds, then the two sides of the gallop road at the west gate of the capital are like clouds. People are crowded, people are on both sides of the road, some are cheering for Meng Li's exploits, and some are cheering for the glory of the Han people, anyway, today's capital is immersed in laughter.
& Chen Mengli has seen his father, long live his father, long live long live~"
He was led to the horse twenty meters in front of the emperor's frame, and the official holding the horse stopped the horse and drove the horse forward, which was the glory given by the emperor! Then Meng Li took a leap, stepped off the horse, and galloped two steps to worship and sing five meters in front of the emperor's frame.
>&
This time, the emperor did not say 'flat' as in the past, but three strong cheers.
& It is the duty of the children of the Han family. ”
Hearing the praise of the cheap father, Meng Li couldn't recognize it with a grin. In that case, he would be considered arrogant and unpopular by the world, but now his mellow words, which are rich in 'experience', make the scene even more beautiful.
&cough~, Lao Jiu is well done! ”
It seemed that the three strong cheers just now had used up his energy, and the emperor Meng Chang, who coughed twice, praised Meng Li again, making the surrounding ministers look at him with gloom or thoughtfulness, and the princes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred fermenting, the red eyes and clenched mouths, as if they were about to eat Meng Li raw, this Lao Jiu, who robbed them of all hope, is really damned!
With the cheers of the people and the praise of the emperor, Meng Li's mood was also surging, but he continued to kneel on one knee without saying a word, and then looked at the emperor's frame.
&9, ahem, you come with me! ”
Although the words were accompanied by bursts of coughing, the emperor's tone at the moment was so strong, as if he had made up his mind to go all the way to the black, as if the gambler had pressed all the assets!
& >
In the frame of a car that was obviously a concubine on the side, there was a voice of doubt. It doesn't seem to be in their minds!
& Questioning me? ”
Meng Li didn't know who this concubine was, but the emperor knew it. This is the favorite concubine who accompanies him day and night, the mother of the third prince Meng Xiang! But for the sake of the future of this thousand-year-old inheritance kingdom, everyone has to stand aside! The > in the way of the road
&The concubine doesn't dare~"
Hearing the emperor's eerie tone, how could the concubine, who had been with him for more than twenty years, not know his anger. However, if he Meng Li wants to go with you, where should my son Meng Xiang go?
The battle for the throne, a hundred deaths!
&Ahem~"
The emperor's body was really bad, and the cold snort seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and with another coughing sound, the emperor in the frame suddenly took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth, and then wiped it and quickly stuffed the handkerchief into his chest, without even looking at it.
&I'm gone~"
This time, his voice seemed to be weaker, he could no longer pretend to be full of energy, the dark wound had eaten away at most of his physical strength. However, for the sake of the kingdom, no, the tomorrow of the empire, he has been holding on, supporting it with all his might, just for the sake of the empire's tomorrow, there will be a British lord to restore the prosperity of the Han Dynasty again!
&Ministers obey~"
Meng Li, who got up, saw that the person who had just held the horse for him hesitated for a moment, and then led the horse to his face.
&
Meng Li, who flew on the horse again, gently pulled the reins of the horse, rode the horse and slowly walked behind the frame of Emperor Meng Chang, and followed him all the way through the streets and alleys to the imperial city.
……
> Zi, what a majesty, a man deserves to be like this! ”
Under an inconspicuous tree on the side of the road in Beijing, two men were there looking at the slowly passing frame with envy, and one of them said a young man with inverted triangular eyes.
> Tang Zhou, the majesty of the man is all obtained by himself with his fists, what's the use of you just envy, it's better to do your business well~"
Another man who was five big and three rough, but his eyes were full of fine eyes, heard the young man's words and immediately retorted.
&& How slow it is, it's better to ......" (to be continued......)
