，

Feng Yan held a black firearm in one hand, and shot a shot at the night sky above from the mouth of the firebolt, and shouted loudly: "Those who do not surrender will be killed." ”

The six words are loud, obviously just one person's voice, but with a peculiar penetrating power, sharp and awe-inspiring, making the whole street quiet.

The other Dasheng soldiers around also shouted in unison: "Those who do not surrender will be killed." ”

"Those who do not surrender will be killed."

The simple six words were shouted louder than the last, and thousands of voices overlapped neatly, as if even the cold air around them trembled.

Seeing that more and more of their comrades were dying at the hands of the Dasheng army, the morale of those remnants of Nanhuai had long been low, and their hearts and minds had completely collapsed at this moment!

"Bang dang! Bang Dang! Bang Dang ......"

The sound of the long knife falling to the ground sounded one after another, and more and more remnants of Nanhuai soldiers humbled their knees and knelt on the bloody ground like lost dogs.

Seeing that more and more of his comrades were dying at the hands of the Dasheng army, the morale of those remnants of Nanhuai had long been low, and their hearts were on the verge of collapse at this moment.

"Bang dang."

A certain Nanhuai soldier was the first to put down the long knife in his hand, his body was short, and he tried to kneel down tremblingly.

"Surrender, die!" When the long knife was pulled out, hot blood gushed out from the soldier's wound and splashed on the face of the Nanhuai soldier, making his face look hideous and terrifying.

"Bang!"

A deafening firing sound rang out like a bolt of lightning splitting the night sky.

In the next moment, there was an extra blood hole in the eyebrows of the Nanhuai soldier with a bloody face, and blood gushed out, and he could no longer tell whose blood it was.

"Bang dang." The bloody blade in his hand fell to the ground, and his body fell with him, like a mountain collapsing with a bang, and there was no sound again.

At this moment, the mental defense of those Nanhuai soldiers also completely collapsed, shattered, and collapsed.

Several Nanhuai soldiers around him put down their swords and knelt down.

It was like a few stones falling into the lake, causing countless ripples on the surface of the lake, spreading in circles and circles, and more and more remnants of Nanhuai soldiers humbled their knees, kneeling on the bloody ground like lost dogs.

"Bang dang! Bang Dang! Bang Dang ......"

The sound of the long knife landing sounded one after another, and most of the living Nanhuai soldiers knelt in the sea of corpses, prostrate on the ground.

The silver moonlight poured down from the night sky, adding a bit of coldness to this Dayue City, and the hearts of those who were alive in Nanhuai were even colder.

There is no suspense about the outcome of this war!

They have lost big, and they are about to become slaves of the country without a country and a home!

On the contrary, the morale of those Dasheng troops was even higher, and the soldiers were divided into several routes, like the turbulent river diverting in all directions little by little, and divided into a team to clean up the other Nanhuai soldiers in the capital, while the main force followed Feng Yan and pressed towards the Nanhuai Palace.

Along the way, all the soldiers of Nanhuai who resisted were killed.

The night is getting deeper and the weather is getting colder.

At the entrance to the palace, two flags embroidered with lions are blown in the night wind.

King Nanhuai was standing at the entrance of the palace, and dozens of ministers of civil and military affairs behind him stood there in panic, and on both sides of the palace gate were Nanhuai Janissaries armed with swords and guns, all of them lost their spirits.

They all knew that there were only two paths left in front of them, either death or ......

Everyone's eyes were on King Nanhuai, and next, it was up to them how the king chose.

King Nanhuai suddenly moved, walked forward slowly, step after step, his steps were so heavy, he walked out of the palace, his eyes fell on Feng Yan, who came on horseback, and his heart seemed to be pinched in the palm of his hand by an invisible hand.

He wished it was just a nightmare, and the next moment, he could wake up from it.

King Nanhuai raised his head for a moment and watched Feng Yan lead the Dasheng army closer and closer, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves hit his heart again and again.

The cold night breeze blew on his face, his hair was blown messy by the wind, and a few strands of broken hair were scattered on his pale cheeks, and the whole person seemed to have aged by more than ten years all of a sudden, revealing a powerless decadence and vicissitudes of life.

He was wrong, and they were defeated!

He has become the king of the fallen country!

The eyes of King Nanhuai were as desolate as frost, and he knelt down resolutely, put his right hand on the left side of his heart, and said with the etiquette of their great arms—

He fell!

Immediately afterwards, the minister of Nanhuai behind him and those Praetorian Guards also knelt down and prostrate on the ground.

Looking at these Nanhuai people who were a little shorter, the young generals behind Feng Yan were all happy on their faces, but they did not slack off because of the enemy's surrender, and they were well-trained to order the soldiers under their command to surround these surrendered Nanhuai people.

The die is cast!

All the Dasheng soldiers were enthusiastic and their eyes were shining.

Nanhuai is their strong enemy in Dasheng for a hundred years, and they have invaded the border again and again, and over the years, I don't know how many soldiers and people have been killed on their Dasheng border, and how many people have been displaced.

So far, many cities in Qianzhou and Dianzhou are full of holes and are in ruins, and I am afraid that it will take several years to recuperate.

Now, King Nanhuai knelt in front of them, and Nanhuai surrendered!

This victory will remove the hidden dangers in the south for Dasheng, and will exchange peace and stability for Dasheng for many years in the south.

This night is particularly long and cruel for the people of Nanhuai; For the Dasheng army, it means victory and hope.

At some point, the sky was cloudy, and the first rays of dawn illuminated the eastern sky.

The rising sun slowly rose, casting a soft glow on the city walls, houses, and streets, and also gilding the sealing flames below with a golden halo......

Feng Yan rubbed the small seal of the blood fox worn on his waist, and he didn't sleep all night, but his phoenix eyes were still as bright as stars.

He looked up at the sky in the north, and said in his heart: It's about to be the New Year, and Zhen Zhen is very busy.

Approaching the Chinese New Year, Duanmu Fei was indeed very busy, busy making new clothes for Feng Yan, busy drawing paper kites for Cen Yin, and busy joining in the fun...... The busiest person in the house is naturally Duanmu Xian, in order to have a good year, he goes out early and returns late every day, and rests in the palace every other day.

Other officials were also too busy to treat one person as if it were two.

Looking back on this year, there are too many things that have happened in Dasheng, for the officials of Dasheng, it is unusually long, and they can finally rest until the New Year, and the court, including Duanmuxian, breathed a sigh of relief, and the year finally passed "peacefully".

From the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Duanmuxian began to rest.

It is only a few days before the New Year, and all parts of the mansion have been decorated, and the faces of the people under them are radiant, counting their fingers and looking forward to Chinese New Year's Eve. Unlike last year, the house relied on Duanmujun to take care of it alone last year, and this year Ji Lanzhou helped out.

It has been almost five months since Ji Lanzhou married into Duanmu Mansion, and during this time, Duanmu Jun has successively handed over some of the things in Zhongfang to her, and she can also have more time to do other things.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Tang found an opportunity to tentatively mention to Duanmu Xian to release Mrs. He to celebrate the New Year together, Duanmu Xian ignored it completely, Tang was afraid that he would annoy Duanmu Xian by saying too many mistakes, and he would be sent to Zhuangzi and Duanmu for the New Year, and he did not dare to mention it again.

On the 28th day of the lunar month, paste New Year's paintings, spring couplets and window flowers.

On the 29th day of the lunar month, the Chinese New Year's Eve, incense is burned outdoors.

On the 30th day of the lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve, the old cloth is new.

The smell of the New Year is getting stronger day by day, and in the sound of crackling firecrackers, the new year is coming.

The New Year's Day, every day inside and outside the house is lively, jubilant, from dignitaries to ordinary people are visiting relatives and friends every day, especially like the threshold of Duanmu Mansion is about to be broken, the concierge is busy entertaining guests who come to pay New Year's greetings every day and even his voice is dumb.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the day when the third prince Mu Youjing and Xie Xiangling got married finally arrived.

Duanmu's family also received an invitation to the wedding, but Duanmu Xian didn't look at it.

Not only the Duanmu family, but almost all the dignitaries' mansions in Beijing received invitations, but there were very few people who went to the banquet.

However, the woman's dowry was quite rich, with a dowry of two hundred and fifty-six lifts, and it is said that when the first dowry was delivered to the palace gate, the last one had not yet come out of the Cheng'en Mansion.

The first lift is a one-person tall red coral tree bonsai, the second lift is a whole box of gold ingots, the third lift is a box of mutton fat white jade, and the fourth lift is the unique calligraphy and painting of the famous calligraphy and painting master of the previous dynasty......

Everything is a rare treasure, and each box is pressed so tightly that it is almost impossible to close the box. When the dowry was raised, it attracted many people to watch, and people's eyes were straight. Some people hurriedly called relatives and friends to come over to see the excitement, and there were more and more onlookers along the way, and there were many discussions.

"I'm afraid there are two hundred and fifty-six dowries, right?!"

"Yes, the princess's regulations are only one hundred and twenty-six! This dowry is twice as much as the regulations of princesses. ”

"Did you see the box of gold ingots before? It's so golden and bright that it almost blinds my eyes. ”

"It turns out that the Cheng'en Mansion is so rich, it deserves to be the queen's maiden family!"

“……”

How lively it is outside the palace, on the contrary, how deserted the wedding banquet in the palace is, and the wedding banquet is half empty, which is simply inferior to ordinary large families.

For more than 100 years in the Dasheng Dynasty, so many princes have married, and they have never been so lonely.

Mu Youjing, the third prince, was annoyed, and secretly hated that these civil and military officials were all people who stepped on high and low, and did not give him any face at all, but at the same time, he was secretly glad: No matter what, this marriage has finally come to pass, and the Xie family has been completely tied to him.

Those who have achieved great things are not informal, and he has lost too much for this supreme position, so he will definitely go on, and no one will want to stand in his way.

People block killing, Buddha blocks killing Buddha!

Mu Youjing made bold words in his heart with great ambition, and led Xie Xiangling on the other side into the cave room with red silk.

The red dragon and phoenix candles were not extinguished all night, and burned until dawn.

Early the next morning, Mu Youjing first took Xie Xiangling to kowtow to the emperor in front of the Yangxin Palace, and then the newlyweds went to Fengluan Palace to greet the queen together.

"See the queen mother, the son (daughter-in-law) greets the queen mother."

The newlywed Mu Youjing and Xie Xiangling walked side by side to the center of the main hall and knelt down in unison.

Both of them wore bright red robes, and their faces had the unique joy of the newlyweds, especially the bride, whose expressions were more charming and touching than when they were in the boudoir.

The queen, who was wearing a crown of nine Zhai and dressed in Zhai clothes, sat on a high gold-lacquered phoenix seat, looking down at Mu Youjing and Xie Xiangling who were kneeling in front of her, the corners of her lips pursed slightly, and she said lightly: "Get up." ”

The queen had mixed feelings.

Although she is a little dissatisfied with the slackness of the four princes these days, the four princes were raised by her own hands after all, to put it mildly, she has been raised for more than ten years, even if she raises a puppy, it will raise some feelings.

But at this point, an indelible gap has been drawn between their mother and son.

The queen sighed secretly in her heart, thinking back to what had happened in the last two months, and her heart became more complicated.

In fact, she didn't expect Concubine Jiang Ning to die.

Since the Duchess of Chengen was ordered by Cen Yin not to enter the palace, she cut off contact with the Duke of Chengen, and it was not until the day that the Duke of Chengen brought the Wang Divine Doctor into the palace, when they came out of the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, that the Duke of Chengen found an opportunity to tell her about Concubine Jiang Ning, and also said that he wanted to record the three princes in her name.

At that time, the queen's first reaction was unwilling, but Cheng Engong said that the four princes were weak and disobedient, and they were a dou who couldn't be supported, and they couldn't fight the eldest prince at all.

At that time, Cheng'en Gong was in a hurry, the queen couldn't think rationally at all, her heart was a little messy, and she reluctantly responded, but to tell the truth, the queen didn't believe that the third prince would kill her mother at all, but she didn't expect the third prince to really do it, and Concubine Jiang Ning really died.

As soon as Concubine Jiang Ning died, the queen was roasted on the fire.

She must not let Concubine Jiang Ning's death be related to the three princes, otherwise it will inevitably involve the Jiang family, the Xie family, and herself......

This is a big scandal!

For the sake of royal prestige, the Xie family and herself, the queen could only cooperate with the third prince to confuse Concubine Jiang Ning's death first.

After that, the matter of registration was put on the table.

Until that time, the queen was still a little hesitant about the name, and she also wanted to use this matter to force the four princes, so that he could be anxious, be obedient in the future, and stop going against the Xie family, but the four princes were still the same, but they just refused to bow their heads.

And the Xie family, the Jiang family, and the three princes pressed it tightly, and united with the clan courtiers to promote the matter of registering the name, and they really made the clan agree to this matter. At that point, it is already difficult to ride a tiger in the matter of registration, and the queen can no longer be allowed to "regret it".

Ay!

The queen sighed secretly in her heart, her heart was numb, she regretted, irritable, and helpless......

After Mu Youjing and Xie Xiangling got up, they continued to move forward and walked to the front of the phoenix seat, this time, Xie Xiangling knelt on the futon as a daughter-in-law and gave tea to the queen.

"Queen Mother, drink tea."

The queen took the tea handed by Xie Xiangling, pretended to take a sip, praised "good", and handed the teacup to the palace maid Lan Hui on the side, and rewarded Xie Xiangling with a set of ruby heads, as well as more than a dozen pieces of jewelry, all of which are luxurious and exquisite, such as the emerald ring the size of a pigeon's egg, the Hetian jade jade pendant and the colorful gemstone collar, etc., which are rare treasures at a glance.

"Thank you for the mother's reward." Xie Xiangling kowtowed to the queen respectfully, and the dissatisfaction caused by the shabby dowry and the coldness of the wedding banquet disappeared at this moment, and his eyes were unusually bright.

Yes. She was wronged for a while, but she was the future queen, and there was glory and wealth waiting for her in the future, and she was destined to sit on the high phoenix throne like her aunt in the future, and be bowed down by all the women.

When Xie Xiangling got up and looked at the queen, his expression had become docile, and he looked like a bride who wanted to talk.

The queen grabbed Xie Xiangling's hand and said a few more words, saying that in the future, she should be careful to abide by the way of women, husband and son Yunyun's polite words, Xie Xiangling responded softly one by one, and Mu Youjing added thoughtfully on the side: "In the future, Erchen and Ling'er will definitely be filial to their mother." ”

"Knowing your filial piety, sit down and talk." The queen said with a smile.

After Mu Youjing and his wife sat down, the palace maid served tea to the two masters, Mu Youjing picked up the tea cup, and suddenly asked, "Queen Mother, why didn't the fourth emperor brother come?" ”

He looked at it and just asked casually, but the corners of his lips hidden behind the teacup curled slightly, and his eyes flashed with a touch of pride.

Once, the four princes were the "sons-in-law" under the queen's knees, and they were the most promising ones to succeed to the throne, but in just over a month, the situation was completely reversed, and the current four princes were just an abandoned son who could be stepped on by anyone.

The queen's eyebrows frowned slightly, keenly aware of the lust in Mu Youjing's eyes, and she was a little unhappy in her heart.

There is a comparison, only to see the advantages and disadvantages.

The fourth prince was raised by her since she was a child, and she may not be outstanding enough in talent, but compared with the third prince, he is more down-to-earth, and he will never do this kind of beating of the water dog, and more importantly, he and his daughter Wuyang have had a good relationship since childhood.

Originally, the reason why the queen wanted the four princes to ascend the throne was for the Xie family on the one hand, and for her daughter Wuyang on the other hand.

But if the third prince ascends the throne in the future, he has his own sister, will he be good to his daughter?!

The queen's eyes became deeper and deeper, and she said a little casually: "Your fourth emperor brother has been caught with a cold recently...... Third Emperor, you and Ling'er have just gotten married, so you don't have to accompany the palace here, so you can go busily. The queen perfunctorily intended to send them away.

Mu Youjing is a good person, and he immediately felt that the queen's attitude had suddenly changed subtly, and he knew that he had not concealed his emotions.

When he put down the teacup, his expression became gentle again.

"The queen mother also said that the son and Ling'er are newly married, and there is nothing to do, so they should accompany the queen mother more and do their filial piety." Mu Youjing said decently.

Xie Xiangling beside him was not very happy, his pupils were dim, his cherry lips were pursed into a straight line, and a pair of plain hands played with the handkerchief in his hand.

She also wants to meet the Four Princes!

Until now, thinking of the incident of falling into the water in Luhua Pavilion, Xie Xiangling's heart is still very unhappy. She has never been humiliated in front of a large public in public!

She wants the four princes to see, it's not that he chose her, but she doesn't want him, and their Xie family doesn't have to be the four princes. Does the royal family still lack a prince, more of them want the status of their son-in-law, and more of them want the support of their Xie family.

She wanted to make the fourth prince regret his poor treatment of her at the beginning.

Xie Xiangling quietly glanced in the direction of the queen, she also saw the queen's unhappiness, but so what?!

The queen is in the deep palace, and she is tied to everything, and if she really wants to do anything, it is not up to them to Xie Jia!

Jiangnan's miracle doctor Wang Ren was found by their Xie family, and the queen was able to form an alliance with the Jiang and Xie families and the three princes because of their Xie family, otherwise what great things could the queen do with just a female in the deep palace!

Although Xie Xiangling thought so in his heart, he still suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and pretended to be concerned and said: "Queen Mother, the fourth emperor brother is unwell, can you let the imperial doctor see it?" ”

Without waiting for the queen to answer, she said to Mu Youjing again: "Your Highness, why don't you go and see the fourth emperor brother later." ”

Mu Youjing smiled slightly, describing the warmth and warmth of the spring breeze, and his chin should be lowered.

The queen looked at Xie Xiangling, and then at Mu Youjing, they were young couples who had a discussion, she should have felt relieved, but the queen felt even more uncomfortable in her heart, and the corners of her lips pursed.

Xie Xiangling didn't seem to feel the queen's distress at all, and said casually: "Queen Mother, it's been cold recently, and my daughter-in-law heard from my aunt that Queen Mother is prone to night coughing at night in winter, I don't know how it is lately?" The doctor Wang Shen invited by the eldest uncle from Jiangnan is not only good at treating stroke, but also has some insight in typhoid fever and wind cold, and the loquat paste he made is very good for treating cough, so it is better for his daughter-in-law to send some to the palace. Xie Xiangling looked considerate and filial.

Xie Xiangling's words and deeds at the moment can't find anything wrong, but at this moment, the queen has a knot in her heart for the three princes, and looking at this little couple, she feels that they seem to be singing and harmonizing.

The queen rubbed her eyebrows and responded casually, a little absent-mindedly.

Until there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps outside the hall, a little waiter in Tsing Yi ran quickly in the direction of Fengluan Palace with his robe, and he was out of breath.

After Xiao Nei entered the palace, he smiled and said to the queen on the phoenix throne: "Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has returned to Beijing!" ”

Wuyang is back! The queen was overjoyed, and the whole person was refreshed at once, as if she had taken some kind of panacea. It has been four months since Wuyang left the capital with Princess Jane, and the queen has never seen her daughter for so long, so she naturally misses her very much.

Mu Youjing was shocked at first, for Wuyang, the eldest sister, the younger brothers and sisters below were more or less afraid of her.

But soon, he was happy again, and an unusually bright light flashed under his eyes.

Wuyang is not only the eldest princess now, the person she married is Jun Ran, and now she is also Princess Jane, representing King Jane's mansion.

A few years ago, Jun Ran just sent back the military report of the great victory in the north, since Jun Ran went to the north, the situation of the northern army is very good, and it is only a matter of time before the Northern Yan people are beaten out of the north.

Wuyang is the queen's daughter, and now she is registered in the queen's name, and she is Wuyang's younger brother, and she will definitely let King Jian's mansion stand on her side.

Mu Youjing's heartbeat accelerated as he thought about it, and his heart was surging with excitement.

If he can get the support of King Jian's mansion, plus the Jinzhou side, then his chances of winning will be even greater, and the eldest brother of the emperor can't compare with himself at all with the Duanmu family alone!

The queen didn't pay attention to Mu Youjing at all, and urgently ordered: "Hurry, go and enter the palace of Princess Xuan!" ”

Zhou Hao, the chief eunuch on the side, reminded with some hesitation: "Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess still has filial piety." ”

The whole palace of King Jian is guarding filial piety for the first King Jian, and Wuyang has filial piety, and he cannot enter the palace according to the rules of the ancestors.

"......" The queen was stunned, and then she remembered this.

There is a way that once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea.

She is the queen, and it is not easy to get out of the palace, either to follow the emperor to escape the summer, sacrifice, travel, avoid disasters, etc., or to leave the palace with the emperor's special approval, and now the emperor is still sick, no matter what it is.

Mu Youjing's eyes lit up, and he seized the opportunity and hurriedly proposed: "Queen Mother, it's better for your son to go and see the eldest sister on behalf of your mother." The queen mother has something to give to the eldest sister, and the sons and daughters help the queen mother bring it. ”

Mu Youjing's heart was hot, and he secretly said that it was fortunate that the fourth emperor brother was not here, otherwise I was afraid that it would not be his turn.

This is a great opportunity to get closer to Wuyang.

The queen's eyes lit up, and she bowed her head and said, "That's fine." Three Emperors, then you can run for the palace. ”

Saying that, the queen hurriedly instructed the palace maid Lan Hui: "Lan Hui, you go and pack up the things prepared for Wuyang in the palace...... Hey, Wuyang has been out for so long, and I don't know how he eats, whether he has lost weight, and he must have suffered after living in the temple for so long. Hey, Princess Jane is really, Wuyang is a princess, and she even took Wuyang to the temple to serve her...... "The more the queen thought about it, the more distressed she became, and she couldn't help but chatter.
