The golden yellow of the daylight flowed in every corner of Kyoto, trying to give a little warmth to everyone who experienced the dark night, and also blowing away the haze in Seventeen's heart, he had never felt that the road to the palace gate was so far away.

In the end, this path was never chosen by the first emperor for them, he was good, the first emperor just guessed his choice in advance, but who said that the first emperor's choice must be right, at least, he never planned to put Xiao Yu'an in this game of chess, this game of chess Xiao Yu'an has been an outsider from beginning to end, and he is the protagonist of the story.

He saved the princess, punished the corrupt officials, and learned from the king, all of which were his own choices, and he was still him in the future.

Xiao Yu'an stopped at the gate of Chen, and met the Ye family soldiers and others who were standing in front of them, they experienced a fierce battle, different from the majesty and magnificence of the northern army, one by one looked exhausted, their clothes were full of blood, and they were guarding the city gate with missing arms and legs.

He didn't say a word, and he didn't say much on the right, they didn't have the power to resist at all, they only had less than 500 people left, Xiao Yu'an's 200,000 army pressed the city gate, as long as an order was given, they would definitely be defeated, but they still did not retreat.

Xiao Yu'an came faster than expected, he stopped at the gate of the city, the banner of the northern border was flying in the air, under the warm yellow, the wind and dust were flying, it can be seen that they were going through wind and rain, all the way straight over.

"Do you think you can stop me with just this little person?"

The right word is neither humble nor arrogant, holding a sword in his hand, and guarding the city gate majestically, "I don't know if I can hold it, but I know that as long as I am alive, as long as the general does not speak, I can't let you in?" ”

"I can't help myself!"

Saying that, with a wave of his big hand, he was about to start a war, and his indifferent eyes could not see the brilliance that everyone praised in the past, and his right hand slowly climbed up to the hilt of the sword, and was suddenly blocked by the figure in front of him.

Liang Wenjiu sat in a wheelchair, guarding in front of him, looking at Xiao Yu'an fearlessly.

I don't know when, the people have gathered around them, they are guarding the sides, surrounding the Ye family soldiers in the middle, without the slightest fear, and there is even some kind of expectation in their eyes.

The northern army, which was about to make a move, stopped moving, hesitated, and went to see the emperor on horseback.

Everyone couldn't see Xiao Yu'an's emotions, and heard him say: "Attack!" ”

"Wait!" The bow and arrow had already been mounted, and he was about to shoot out in the next second, so Qi Luo turned over and dismounted, kneeling in front of Xiao Yu'an's horse.

"Qi Luo!"

Xiao Yu'an rode into the horse, "Do you know what you're doing?" ”

Qi Luo kowtowed to the ground, "Please think twice." ”

He called him Gongzi again, and in such a situation, Xiao Yu'an didn't even know how to respond to him, he rode a horse and stopped in front of Liang Wenjiu's wheelchair, waiting for him to speak.

Liang Wenjiu saluted respectfully, "The general said that he will give His Majesty a clean Kyoto." ”

"Whatever he says, you will believe it?"

"I believe it."

"Do you know that if he enters the palace alone, he will die?"

"I know."

"But I prefer to believe that even if he dies, the general will fulfill his promise."

This is the charm of Seventeen, Xiao Yu'an knew it early on, so he was jealous, but he knew that he would never be able to do this.

The sun was blazing, hanging high in the sky, and the 200,000 troops in the north were motionless, and the people guarding the gate of the city stood for no reason.

Until the horse's hooves came from far and near, everyone turned back layer by layer, and saw the general dressed in a black robe and a black sword, heading towards thousands of troops and horses.

Everyone automatically opened a path for him, and Seventeen stopped in front of Xiao Yu'an like this.

He was dusty and devastated, and when he saw him again, he was still smiling brightly, and there was no haze.

"I'm here, I'll get you back the Kyoto you want, don't lose it again."

A high-pitched voice sounded behind him, and Li Ruyan hurried over with a group of hundreds of officials, holding a piece of white brocade silk in his hand, and shouted, "Welcome Your Majesty back to Beijing!" ”

Hearing this, the people knelt down one after another, and the uniform voice sounded, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

What kind of scene is that, many years later, Xiao Yu'an still can't let go, under the scorching sun that day, the people knelt on the ground reverently, full of expectations for him, without the slightest complaint.

He was puzzled, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"Xiao Ye has pleaded guilty and admitted that he rebelled, and what Master Li has in his hand is his confession, with only one condition, to let go of his family in the western border, and there are soldiers who cannot be blamed for his crimes."

"Seventeen, don't play dumb, you know that's not what I meant."

He raised troops in the north, he abandoned the people of Kyoto, was about to crusade against Xiao Ye, and also threatened to establish a new dynasty in the north, it stands to reason that the people of Kyoto should not submit to him like this, and they all wish he forgave them.

Seventeen touched the wound on his neck and found that the blood had dried up, so he wiped it in disgust, "You said they? ”

He pointed to the kneeling people.

"The news you have along the way has made me suppress, they only know that I am on the order of the new emperor to crusade against Xiao Ye, and they are all looking forward to the arrival of the new emperor."

When Xiao Yu'an heard this, his face was a little ugly.

His actions naturally refuted his intentions, but so what, he had such courage at seventeen.

"You want to crusade against Xiao Ye, I was ordered to do it for you, you want to establish a new dynasty, No."

He took out the jade seal in Xiao Ye's hand, "The world will give it to you, whatever you want to build, as for the new northern border you want." ”

He smiled, "It's never been a battlefield of scheming, we only fight for the country." ”

"Kyoto shouldn't die, and the north shouldn't be like this muddy water, don't you think so?"

Coldly, Xiao Yu was stabbed by something, and he was in pain.

"Later, I thought for a long time, why can I return to Beijing so unharmed?"

"It's because you didn't plan to keep me in the first place."

"You know, just by relying on the strength of the northern border, it is impossible to confront Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye has a million troops in his hands, and the northern border, guarding the border, can mobilize less than half of the troops."

"If you don't do this, you know that war will inevitably bring casualties, and it is difficult to live in the four realms at the moment, and if it is a civil war, the troops consumed will not be enough for us to fight against the four realms, and the people will suffer unbearable hardships as a result."

"So, you forced me out in this way, just to make a show for others, but also to confuse Xiao Ye, and even more so to force me."

"Xiao Ye wouldn't have thought that I would go to Kyoto single-handedly, I was maneuvering around Kyoto, you know that I have no soldiers, I will definitely use the power of the people, you want them all to participate in this matter, because you want them to really understand that the development of a country is not a king's decision."

"Then you accelerated the pace of going north, because you knew that Xiao Ye was going to gather a large army, and I would definitely not be able to fight when the time came, so you accelerated the pace and disrupted Xiao Ye's pace, and you also forced me to act."

"At that time, if I win, this is the current situation, if I am defeated, Xiao Ye's army has not yet gathered, you can fight him, and there is still a chance of victory."

Everyone behind him was still kneeling, beads of sweat passed from Qi Luo's forehead, soaked in the loess, he froze, he didn't know what choice his son made, the people behind him knelt reverently, looking forward to their new king, seventeen was in such a scene, Xiao Yu'an's thoughts were said little by little.

Xiao Yu'an was not annoyed, and laughed at himself: "When did you know?"

"When I came out of the palace, I suddenly figured it out, if you really plan to attack Kyoto, you can arrive in Kyoto long before I act, and you won't tolerate the Ye family's soldiers staying here for so long."

"As for when you had such a plan, maybe it was the moment you knew your identity, or maybe you witnessed the death of Prince Xiao and Lord Zhiwei, no matter when, you never thought about abandoning the world."

"Your Majesty, you are very much like the first emperor."

I have to carry everything by myself, and I am good at layout, and I am also good at confusing others.

Xiao Yu'an smiled, "Maybe." ”

From the very beginning, he had decided to do this, not to tell Seventeen, because he knew that once Seventeen understood all the plans, it wouldn't be so perfect today.

The awakening of the people has become his plan, and the vigilance of the soldiers has also become his bargaining chips, only if he doesn't know anything, he can speculate and move forward, so that the people and soldiers can really wake up.

Now that he has come to this point, it is much better than he expected, at least he never thought that he would be a good king who is wise and foolish in the eyes of the people.

The sun was in full bloom, the task of seventeen was completed, he was worried, regardless of the injuries on his body, he said goodbye to Xiao Yu'an, the yellow sand was all over the sky, and he went to the east alone.

The sound of horses' hooves came, and Seventeen stopped and looked at Xiao Yu'an, who was rushing behind him, Xiao Yu'an took off his golden armor, and his white robe exuded such a different brilliance.

"I thought you'd blame me?"

"Blame!" Seventeen said truthfully, Xiao Yu'an's expression was a little frozen, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"I blame you for being too serious about acting, so that I was disappointed in you, I blame you for letting me be separated from the little lady for so long, I blame you for really thinking about giving up Kyoto."

He can lie to everyone, but Seventeen knows that when he was desperate, he also thought about giving up Kyoto.

When Xiao Yu'an heard this, he smiled, "I'm sorry to disappoint you." ”

Seventeen stroked Ma'er's sideburns and looked directly at him, "The Kyoto you want, I fought it for you, and the three states you want to abandon are also carried by someone for you, your imperial road is clean after all, not stained with any blood, and did not disappoint the ancestors." ”

The emperor's road that the first emperor wanted him to take, he understood that his journey was without wind and waves, clean, and unstained, and finally fulfilled the wishes of all of them.

A new dynasty will eventually come, and now this battle should be the trumpet blowing and the emperor returning.

"The next road, Your Majesty can only go by himself, Seventeen has his own want to walk, there are people there who are still waiting for me."

"Take care all the way."

The black figure disappeared from the dust, the flamboyant ponytail disappeared at the other end of the hillside, and Xiao Yu'an should also go to do his own thing.

The two turned around and walked on different roads, the seventeenth road, lonely and lonely, Xiao Yu'an's road, brilliant and noisy, all the people welcomed each other, the hundred official city mansions, and the seventeenth gave him a good Kyoto.

He galloped into Beijing amid cheers, not only remembering the past points, but also remembering everything in the swearing, and they finally lived up to themselves.

The sun fell on a high place and began to set slowly, Xiao Yu'an looked up, and his thoughts drifted to the far north, where the snow was falling, and he also remembered the east border where the yellow sand was full of sky, where there was chaos and chaos.

After the second pot boiled, Xiao Pick distributed a bowl to them, and the second pot didn't even have the taste of meat foam, like a pot that had not been cleaned, rusty, and the boiling water was flushed and let them drink.

The taste was unacceptable, and they smeared the broth one after another, and even worse, directly scolded the Iraqi people.

"You think this bowl of soup is hard to swallow, but my border soldiers can't even share a bowl of meat soup now."

Everyone stopped, curiously probing her, and Yiren slowly walked in front of everyone, "The daughter of the general of the northern realm of the little girl, she is ordered to support the eastern realm. ”

"The lord of this county, not the emperor's noble daughter, but I have ten miles of red makeup and thousands of pictures, but the bowl of soup you are holding in your hands was given to me by a beggar on the street."

The people could clearly hear their whispers, and everyone's curiosity about her seemed to grow stronger.

The Yiren were unhurried, "My Dayan soldiers are suffering in the east, and the food and grass are not in a hurry at the moment, and I hope you will support." ”

Her plea was too pale and weak, and no one answered her, and even one put down the bowl and turned away, and the second one would not stay long.

The Yi people were a little sad, "They are the subjects of Dayan, if it weren't for the protection of this land, they should also be like you, sneering at this bowl of broth that can't be put on the table, they could have reunited with their wives and daughters, and be filial to their parents at home, but now, they are guarding the eastern border, on this wall behind you." ”

Some stopped, others looked at her hypocritically to see what else she could say.

"After winning the battle, you praise them for their bravery, and then you forget about them, and enjoy the pain they have borne for you with peace of mind, and if you are defeated, your spitting and reproach will come even faster than their frustration, blame them for not being able to do anything, blame them for eating only rice, blame them for making you innocent."

"But there is no one in this world more innocent than the soldiers, they rush to the front, they die and die, there is no one to collect their bodies, if they are lucky enough to survive, they will either live in the panic of defeat, or, live in your senseless praise, live in fear."

Yiren choked up a little, "Why are you so at ease? If they hadn't been there, this city would have been broken a long time ago, and you think you could still discuss this bowl of broth here? If I take any of these soldiers from this bowl of soup, they will be grateful and swear to repay the favor of this bowl of broth. ”

The sun had set, and it was time for the smoke to rise, and it was time for the people to stop their work and have a warm meal in peace, but now, they were here to listen to her words with these high-sounding words.

Yiren was a little tired, took a deep breath, "I don't want to kidnap your morality because of my "righteous and awe-inspiring" words, I just hope that everyone can do a favor and help Dongjing to tide over this difficult time. ”

"For every penny of food you donate today, as long as I am alive, I will spend my whole life and will pay it back double."

As she spoke, she bent her back slightly, "Everyone, please." ”

Behind him, Xiao Xiao burst into tears, leaned down and knelt down, in a gesture of request, Yan Zijun, who had always stood straight, also bent his back, he was still wearing iron armor, and it was stained with mud.
