855 Mandate of Heaven (2nd Update)
That's right! Xiao Tian suddenly clapped his hands heavily. He remembered that people like Yang Xuyao are called "double standards".
It is useless to talk too much about this kind of person, and it doesn't make sense at all.
Xiao Tian didn't plan to waste any more time, he high-fived twice in a row, and the two soldiers guarding under the eaves outside the hall came in.
"Take the people down." Xiao Tian didn't look at Yang Xuyao, and ordered.
Yang Xuyao couldn't believe his ears, and his bloodshot eyes were almost staring at the extreme. Xiao Tian, he was unmoved by his proposal.
The two soldiers immediately received the order, and dragged Yang Xuyao up from the ground with rude movements, and then dragged him out of the hall strongly, the rain outside stopped at some point, but the ground was still wet.
Yang Xuyao still didn't give up, and still turned around and shouted at Xiao Tian: "Xiao Tian, you will definitely regret not cooperating with me!" β
"Do you think Mu Yan is a good kind?! He's just holding you now when he needs you. The day you lose your usefulness is your time of death. β
"Do you really want to be stupid enough to be a pawn of the court?!"
ββ¦β¦β
Yang Xuyao's hoarse shouts gradually faded away, and finally nothing could be heard, only the sound of the breeze blowing through the grass and trees after the rain sounded from time to time.
As soon as the wind blew, raindrops fell from the leaves and branches of the trees, as if another light rain had fallen.
Xiao Tian didn't even raise his eyebrows, he had heard these clichΓ©s I don't know how many times. In the final analysis, Yang Xuyao is to treat others with himself, and he is the one who "dies with a cunning rabbit and cooks with a lackey"!
Xiao Tian leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and smiled with Ling Bai and the others beside him: "Three points of the world?!" This is not a playbook! β
"I'm just a mountain bandit, and it's good to be able to occupy one acre and three points of land in Jinju."
"I'm not that greedy."
They have so many brothers in Taichu Village, they are all born and died together, fought bloody battles together, and are friends of life and death who can hand over each other's backs to each other.
Greed is tantamount to risking the lives of your brothers.
Xiao Tian touched his chin and said with a smile: "I have to thank this Yang Gongzi more this time." β
"That's right." A bearded man laughed, and said with a fluttering eyebrow, "If it weren't for this Yang Xuyao helping us, we wouldn't be able to clean up Jin Dahu so quickly this time, and the rest of the people in Jinjiazhai are just miscellaneous and can't become the climate." β
The owner of Jinjiazhai was killed, and the others dispersed.
In the hall, several other people were also smiling and radiant, even Ling Bai, who was not smiling on weekdays, also had a smile in his eyes.
Xiao Tian looked around at everyone, for him, these brothers in Taichuzhai were also his relatives, just like ......
He subconsciously touched the position of his chest lightly, feeling the sensation of a foreign body underneath.
Hidden in his arms was a letter from the Chu family, a letter from Mrs. Chu.
In the letter, Mrs. Chu did not ask him when he would return to Beijing, nor did she ask him about the military situation, but only told him about the recent events between the Chu family and the capital, and said what she had done recently......
What was written in the letter were some ordinary and trivial things, but it made Xiao Tian feel warm, just like when he was in the Chu family, Mrs. Chu also gossiped with him in such a gentle tone.
He had read this letter many times, and every time he read it, he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth.
Xiao Tian's heart was soft: it's soon, he will be able to ...... soon
Immediately, he smiled bitterly in his heart.
This person, he really can't live too comfortably, even he will be reluctant to give up the warmth of the capital.
He had to admit that he missed Mrs. Tai, the old lady, and the Chu family......
He wanted to go back to Beijing soon.
Xiao Tian, who was leaning on the back of the chair, straightened up, looked at the brothers around him again, and called their names: "Ling Bai, A Ming, Liu Yong, Three Blades...... Let's get on with it! β
Xiao Tian just said such a simple sentence, and everyone felt their blood boiling.
This is not only because they respect Xiao Tian, so they follow him, but also because they are also from Jinju, and they also hope that the land that raised them can be restored to the peace they once had as soon as possible, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and smile again.
This is what all of them expect from Jinju!
They also trusted Xiao Tian's judgment and believed that he could set Jinju!
The bearded Hu and the others had already been gearing up, and they were eager to try: "Boss, can you finally do it?" I've been suffocating to death for half a month......"
"That's it! I'm so idle that I'm getting moldy! β
"What is moldy? I'm going crazy......"
ββ¦β¦β
Several people were unrestrained in front of Xiao Tian, and they talked playfully, attracting bursts of hearty laughter.
Xiao Tianhan said with a smile: "Pass my order, the whole army!" β
At the sound of an order, tens of thousands of soldiers were on standby, ready to go.
Jin Dahu's death had a great impact on Jinjiazhai, and the leaders and minions scattered everywhere were leaderless, and no one obeyed anyone, and they became divided.
On the contrary, the imperial army led by Xiao Tian and the Taichu army were united, and in the next few days, the army attacked the city and plundered the land in Jinju with a momentum of momentum.
When Xiao Tian led a large army to the city, many cities surrendered directly before the battle started, only begging Xiao Tianyun to say "surrender the troops and not kill".
Jinju has good news.
On the fifth day of the first month of April, another good news was sent to the capital in an expedited manner of 800 miles.
On the morning of this day, Mu Yan also rewarded Xiao Tianjia: "General Xiao is brave and good at fighting, but he quelled the Jinzhou Rebellion in a few months, and he is really a rare general, and he has meritorious service in the imperial court." β
The old lady Chu below listened, with a look of relief and honor.
He has been thinking in his heart that he wants to go home as soon as possible to tell his wife the good news, in the past few months, the old wife has been fasting and reciting Buddha for Xiaotian's child every day, copying scriptures and praying, and now she can rest assured.
Xiao Tian is worthy of being a child of their Chu family, no matter how difficult the situation is, he can also walk out of his own way!
No matter what the other ministers thought in their hearts, they all nodded frequently on the surface, and said secretly: The new emperor's soldiers appointed a mountain bandit as the chief soldier of Jinju in a dangerous move, and also entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, not only to hand over the army of the imperial court to this Xiao Tian to lead, but even Zhang Wenche and Wu Yanping had to obey the orders of a boy who was not even a weak crown, in fact, it was a little too risky.
Fortunately, this Xiao Tian is still useful, he did not disgrace the new emperor, and earned a reputation for the new emperor's meritocracy.
If Xiao Tian is defeated, the scene will be a little unsightly, and it will inevitably damage the prestige of the new emperor.
Mu Yan on the throne of Jinluan looked down at the ministers with different expressions below, and said loudly: "Spread my will, so that Xiao Tian will return to Beijing to be rewarded." β
As soon as he said this, a courtier immediately walked out of the queue and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, General Xiao has put down the Jinzhou Rebellion for Dasheng, and he deserves to be rewarded!" β
"The emperor is wise and knows heroes, this Xiao general soldier is young, and he is really a natural general." Immediately afterwards, another minister also stood up, not only praised Xiao Tian, but also attributed all the credit to Mu Yan by the way.
On the Jinluan Palace, all kinds of compliments come and go, and most of them are beautiful words.
A few ministers secretly choked their wrists, feeling that they were one step too late and let others seize the opportunity, and if they talk about it now, they will inevitably be suspected of picking up people's teeth.
Some people also pondered in their hearts: This Xiao Tian is just a mountain bandit after all. This time, the emperor recalled him back to Beijing, ostensibly as a reward, but I am afraid that there are other plans.
Next, it's time for the emperor to take back his military power.
At that time, the emperor only needs to give Xiao Tian the title of a Ping'an Marquis, and then circle him in the capital to "honor". In this way, Xiao Tian can be regarded as having a good death, and the imperial court can justifiably hold Jinju in his hands again.
Their new emperor really has the means!
Several ministers who knew each other secretly exchanged glances, frightened. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that maybe the new emperor chose to entrust Xiao Tian with a heavy responsibility, and the real purpose was this.
People who are more active immediately moved their minds: once Xiao Tian enters Beijing to "Rongyang", it means that there is a vacancy in Jinzhou, and the emperor is bound to assign a new candidate to Jinzhou.
Now that Jinju has been pacified, it is equivalent to a ripe fruit in the treetops, which can be picked by anyone, depending on whose hands and feet are fast!
The opportunity must not be lost and the time will not come again, this is the eternal truth.
Just thinking about it, some people were already eager to try, thinking about how to be the first to ask Mu Yan for his life to go to Jinju.
However, this way of speaking is also exquisite, saying that it is urgent, which will make the new emperor feel that he is trying to grab credit; If you say it's late, it will let others take the lead, and then it's too late to regret it.
They were struggling, and they heard Mu Yan's voice in front of them sound again: "Xuan Guogong, Xiao Tian has made great achievements and returned triumphantly, and you and Mrs. Tai can rest assured." β
In the ears of others, Mu Yan's words seemed to have no beginning or end, and they were inexplicable.
Yes?!
What do you mean? What does Xiao Tian have to do with the Xuanguo Mansion?!
Most of the people looked at each other with a look of surprise and confusion, including several elders.
For a while, everyone's eyes fell on Old Lady Chu, wanting to see some clues from his face.
Old Lady Chu calmly walked out of the queue and waved at Mu Yan on the throne of Jinluan.
A sincere smile appeared on his elegant face, and he responded: "Thank you for the emperor's love for Weichen and the lowly one." β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
The expressions of the Manchu Dynasty were even more strange.
Last year, the new emperor appointed Xiao Tian as the chief soldier of Jinzhou as the regent, at that time, all the ministers thought that Xuanguo Gong would not sit idly by and watch Xiao Tian grab the merit, and Xuanguo Gong would definitely come out for his son-in-law Zhang Wenche, but he looked forward to it until Xiao Tian led the army to leave Beijing, and the Chu family did nothing.
At that time, many courtiers were secretly muttering that Xuanguo Gong was too cowardly, and it was only now that they realized that something was wrong, there seemed to be some secret hidden between the new emperor and the old lady Chu, and this secret was also related to Xiao Tian!
Everyone's eyes swept back and forth between the new emperor and the old lady Chu, some inquiring, some looking, some speculating, and some pondering......
Old Lady Chu didn't care about their gaze, or rather, he couldn't wait to tell Xiao Tian's identity to the world, and wanted the world to know that the Chu family had finally found their long-lost child.
"Xiao Tian is stubborn," Old Lady Chu smiled slightly and said modestly, "Thanks to the emperor's refusal." β
Mu Yan laughed and said affectionately: "No, no, this kid is clever!" β
"I have a temper with him, and when he returns to Beijing, I will play polo with him again."
Mu Yan and Old Lady Chu gossiped commonly.
The eyes of the ministers looked at Mu Yan for a while, and looked at Old Lady Chu for a while, and their mood became more subtle: Listening to Old Lady Chu's tone, could it be that Xiao Tian is very familiar with the Chu family?
Moreover, Xindi also played polo with Xiao Tian?
Then Xiao Tian was born as a mountain bandit in Jinzhou, how did he get on the line with the new emperor and the Chu family?!
The ministers were full of doubts in their hearts, and the more they listened, the more confused they became.
Old lady Chu smiled again, the whole person seemed to be several years younger, and said with a smile: "Weichen thanks the emperor for his grandson's kindness." When he returns, Weichen will definitely let him play polo with the emperor. β
Old lady Chu originally just followed Mu Yan's words to say this, but after the words came out, he also felt that this idea was good, and planned to hold a polo match in the mansion when Xiao Tian returned to Beijing, and invited Duanmujun, Duanmufei, Hanxing, Li Tingyou, Mu Jinfan, and other children who had a good time with their grandchildren to come to the mansion to play and have a good time.
It was like a dry thunder on the flat ground, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were dumbfounded, and they couldn't believe their ears.
Xiao Tian is the grandson of Xuan Guogong?!
How is this possible?!
Many ministers were so shocked that they didn't come back to their senses for a while, and they almost pinched their thighs. They're not dreaming, are they?!
From Mu Yan's position, he could clearly take in the expressions of the ministers below, and the smile on his face became even thicker.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Yan's words changed: "In the near future, there will be a dragon turning over in the south, and the household department will prepare for disaster relief as soon as possible." β
Mu Yan had already ordered people to go to the southern border and Huaizhou, planning to assist the local government to teach the people how to evacuate, and prepare shelters for the people in advance.
Since there is a ground dragon to turn over, no matter how much preparation is made, it will inevitably cause some unpredictable damage to the local area, so disaster relief matters must also be prepared in advance.
Many ministers have not yet reacted from Xiao Tian's life experience, and they are all stunned when they hear that there will be an earth dragon turning over this year.
On the Jinluan Palace, there was silence, and the atmosphere was slightly condensed.
Some of the ministers looked at Shoufu Duanmuxian and wanted to ask him if he knew.
"......" Duanmuxian has a headache, can't the new emperor tell the cabinet in advance about such a big matter?
Duanmu Xian, as the first assistant and the head of the household department, since the new emperor asked the household department to prepare for disaster relief, Duanmu Xian naturally had to express it.
"Your Majesty, but the signs that Qin Tianjian found when he was observing the heavens at night?" Duanmu Xian asked, his eyes glancing at Qin Tianjian.
Qin Tianjian is even more confused than the others, there is nothing wrong with the celestial phenomena recently.
"It's not." Mu Yan shook his head and replied solemnly, "It was the fourth girl who got the apocalypse and dreamed of it." β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
The Jinluan Hall was quiet again, and the atmosphere was even more strange.
The person who will be called the fourth girl is, of course, the fourth granddaughter of the first assistant Duanmuxian.
As a result, the eyes of the ministers looking at Duanmu Xian and Mu Yan became weird. Shousuke should have known about it a long time ago, right? Just now, he also took the trouble to ask the new emperor if Qin Tianjian saw the celestial phenomena at night, this play is too real!
After Duanmu Xian was stunned, he happily accepted Mu Yan's words, thinking: Since his granddaughter saw it, there must be an earth dragon turned over, so he must hurry up and get ready, so as not to be in a hurry and be in a hurry.
The earth dragon turned over, and it was as light as thunder, and it was not in the way; If it is serious, it will be easy to destroy a few cities, and then there will be corpses all over the field, like hell on earth.
Just thinking about it, Duanmu Xian felt frightened, and only felt that Dasheng was really a wave of square peace, wave after wave.
Previously, he was worried that there would be a drought in the capital, Jizhou, and Yuzhou, but he looked forward to it, begged and begged, and the rain finally came. But it's only been a few days, and now there is actually another disaster of the earth dragon turning over.
Duanmu Xian's eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly understood why Mu Yan wanted to tell the ministers in the Jinluan Hall that it was his little granddaughter who discovered the "Earth Dragon Turning Over".
After the sacrifice on March 29, the folk rumors about whether Duanmu Fei was evil finally stopped, but at this time, there was a earth dragon turned over, and the time was really delicate, and I am afraid that some ignorant people will bring up the old things again.
Therefore, Mu Yan deliberately chose this moment to announce.
Mu Yan regarded the "Earth Dragon Turnover" as an apocalypse given by God, and since the little granddaughter can get the apocalypse, she must be the one who is destined by heaven.
