Chapter 113: Fighting Inside the Palace
Xu Zhitao's eldest son was newly mourned, but after Xu Chi ran to Xu's mansion to make a scene, there was no movement.
In the entire capital, except for the good people around him, this news was not revealed for half a minute.
only said that he drank too much wine that day and made a mistake.
Early the next morning, the Xu family sent someone to replace the gate of the Xu Mansion with a new one, and even the materials were better than before, and the style was more magnificent than before.
Lord Xu, who was about to go to the emperor to complain, dissipated his anger and let him go.
But there is no shortage of ugly words.
Mrs. Xu, who was already grief-stricken, learned that her family not only failed to please her, but also suffered such a big loss, and even her reputation with her second son plummeted in the capital.
Where can she accept it, she almost hanged herself for a while.
It's winter, and it's extremely cold.
The goose feather snow fell all night, and the entire Xu Mansion was dressed up in silver.
Inside the house there was a charcoal basin and incense burning.
Xu Zhitao sat on top with a cold face.
Mrs. Xu was dragged by the maid and the maid during the period, and her eyes were swollen from crying: "What kind of sin is this, as soon as Xu Yacheng dies, the news will come back immediately, and people can still wear linen and filial piety to give him a ride." It's good for us, knowing that Yuan'er was killed by the Qi King and his wife, but we can only say nothing! ”
Mrs. Xu has lived so much, and she has not suffered this kind of grievance: "My distant son is dead, and I am not alive anymore, instead of shrinking my brain to be a turtle with a shrunken head, I might as well fight with them to break the net!" ”
As she spoke, she was so emotional that she couldn't help but get up and run outside.
Xu Zhitao's face was extremely ugly, and he slapped the table suddenly: "Why are you going, do you also want to go to Xu's house to make trouble like Chi'er?" ”
Seeing that Mrs. Xu was slightly stunned, Xu Zhitao slammed the tea cup on the table to the ground.
The teacup shattered in an instant and fell apart.
"Nonsense!" Xu Zhitao was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and his beard was cocked, "It's just that he is a stinky boy who doesn't know what to do, and you have lost your mind, and you want to be embarrassed?!" ”
Mrs. Xu knew that she was at a loss and did not dare to speak.
Xu Zhitao flicked his sleeves and stood up: "Where did we get the news of Yuan'er's death, don't you know, then King Qi and his wife can do this kind of thing, who are they, don't you know?!" You still don't think things are messy enough, you don't think we've exposed enough! ”
He pointed at Mrs. Xu's nose and wanted to poke his finger in her face: "They have nothing to fear, now they must want to touch the melon along the vine, and now they are about to be in trouble, but you stupid woman is still so short-sighted!" ”
Mrs. Xu's mouth trembled, and her tears were frightened back by his roar.
In the end, he only dared to mutter: "Then, what should I do, we are far away, we can't just die in vain...... Also, I didn't even have a chance to send him on the last ride......"
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Xu suddenly cried again: "I don't know where those two brutes got Yuan'er's body, this ...... who killed a thousand knives."
She scolded and scolded, and the mother-in-law on the side hurriedly persuaded again.
Xu Zhitao paused for a while before he said coldly: "If the fish dies and the net is broken, then the fish will die and the net will be broken." You don't have to worry about this matter, it's not our family's business, someone will be more anxious than us. ”
"How?" Mrs. Xu couldn't help but ask.
But Xu Zhitao no longer spoke, only asked her mother-in-law to help her go back to rest, and stepped out to prepare for the court.
The army pressed the border, and Emperor Liang was already upset, but as a result, just after the early dynasty, the civil and military officials quarreled.
Xu Da didn't come to the court for several days, his young son died on the front line, although he didn't die on the battlefield, but he also sacrificed his life for the country, according to the battle report sent back by King Qi, it was very likely that he was killed by the people of Ning Guojian.
Emperor Liang issued an edict to seal him as a general of the Zhenguo, which can be regarded as appeasing Lord Xu's heart.
I thought that this old boy had been decadent for several days, and even if he could appear, he would be listless, but who knew that this dynasty found that his fighting spirit was still so high, even more than before.
Emperor Liang's head hurt, and he sat there looking at the noisy ministers below, eager to pick up the fold and smash them in the face.
At this moment, Xu Zhitao was impassioned: "Your Majesty, this time the Ning army is menacing, this is inevitable, instead of fighting with them to the death, the minister suggested sending additional envoys to see what the other party wants, and then discuss." ”
Qin Haifeng immediately followed: "The minister seconded the proposal, Your Majesty, the last time the Ning army attacked, now it seems that it was just a small fight, but His Royal Highness King Qi and Princess Qi led the army to repel the Ning army twice, which has completely angered the other party, and Princess Qi is the daughter of Ning Guo's rebel ministers after all, I am afraid that Ning Guo will not be good this time!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Rites immediately stood up to testify for him.
It's nothing more than how much money will be lost in the war, how much harm it will bring to the country, and how many difficulties it will have in foreign exchanges, in the end, Emperor Liang himself couldn't help but doubt it.
Is compromise the best option?
Why does it seem that the other party is coming, if they resist, it is not right, but they will die a miserable death?
Especially what Qin Haifeng said.
Forget about the side things, Emperor Liang couldn't help but say coldly: "What Qin Aiqing means by this, is it to blame King Qi and his wife for winning the battle but making a mistake?" ”
"That's not what the minister meant," Qin Haifeng hurriedly bowed down, with a sincere attitude, "The minister is just talking about things, this must be the main reason why the Ning army is so crazy this time." ”
Xu Zhitao immediately said: "Yes, the emperor, we don't need to withdraw immediately, but we can stay still, and wait for the envoy to go to Ningguo to discuss, and then make a decision, please think twice." ”
They chattered endlessly, but Xu Da never responded.
It wasn't until their saliva was dry and they stopped completely that Master Xu asked aloud: "Are you done?" ”
Xu Zhitao didn't say anything, but someone couldn't help but answer: "It's over." ”
Xu Da immediately stepped forward and said respectfully to Emperor Liang: "Since the adults have finished speaking, it is the turn of the ministers." ”
He didn't smile: "The minister asked in advance, the emperor has to testify for the minister, don't wait for the minister to talk, they start talking endlessly, the minister is impatient to talk nonsense with them." ”
The ministers on the side protested in low voices, and they hated that he spoke badly.
But Emperor Liang smiled: "Aiqing, please speak, I will testify for you." ”
Xu Da ignored everyone, his face was solemn, but the words he said were extremely difficult to hear: "The minister thinks that Lord Xu and Lord Qin are farting, and they stink." ”
Before the words fell, someone couldn't help but shout: "In front of Your Majesty, how can you be so wild? ”
Xu Da gave the other party a roll of his eyes, and he was not affected at all: "When the small army of the Ning army attacked, my Great Liang sent fewer troops than the other party, and I still won beautifully." Now the other side has gathered 800,000 soldiers and horses, which seems to be a large number, but the battle line is extremely long, and it may not be invincible. ”
"With His Royal Highness King Qi and his wife in commanding the troops, if you gather enough soldiers and horses, you will naturally be able to defend the city."
"Lord Xu himself is afraid of death and does not dare to go to the battlefield, I understand it below, but you actually want Your Majesty to learn from you to be a turtle with a shrunken head, won't our Daliang become the laughing stock of the world?!"
He scolded badly before, Xu Zhitao endured it, but when he heard the words "shrinking turtle", he suddenly remembered what his wife said in the morning, and suddenly an evil fire rushed to his head.
Xu Zhitao couldn't help but interrupt him: "You are talking nonsense, the eldest husband has done something and has not done anything, knowing that there is no way out, you have to hit the south wall, how can this be done by a courtier?" I think you are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and your heart can be punished! ”
"Whew!" Xu Da immediately sneered, "Don't say that greed for life and fear of death is so good, how do you know that there is no way forward, the big husband stands up to the sky, and the matter of defending the family and the country is to know that there are tigers in the mountains and go to the tiger mountain, what kind of hero is it to be afraid of the head and tail!" ”
He clenched his fists with both hands, and Lang Lang shouted and said the taste of Jin Ge Iron Horse: "My son Yacheng has sacrificed his life for the country, and as his father, I am willing to go out on his behalf to assist King Qi and his wife in defending against foreign enemies!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Zhitao was speechless.
I'm afraid the surname Xu is not crazy!
How old he is and he still has to go to the front.
Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, his son is dead, if he dies again, won't the Xu family fall? Although the Xu family still has two sons, they are all sons of concubines, and they can't be on the stage.
In the past, Xu Zhitao would probably say a few more words, but as soon as Xu Yuan died, he didn't dare to follow this madness again, so he was so angry that he trembled all over, and he didn't want to speak again.
When Emperor Liang heard this, he hurriedly rejected the proposal: "It's enough for Aiqing to have this heart, if your Xu family is missing you as a pillar, it won't work." ”
As soon as he said this, Xu Zhitao came back to his strength: "Your Majesty, Lord Xu thinks things too ideally, where can this war be achieved with momentum and passion, it depends on the actual situation." Now it is a harsh winter, and our Daliang has a cold climate, so if we really want to gather soldiers and horses, grain and grass are a huge problem. ”
"That's right," Xu Da immediately answered, "The problem of grain and grass is very big, where did the grain and grass last time go, please ask the emperor to investigate strictly!" ”
He looked at Qin Haifeng and said unceremoniously: "King Qi and his wife won the battle, and they actually spent their own money, and they didn't see the baggage you sent after the battle, so I'm embarrassed to say it here!" ”
"How can Lord Xu speak!" Qin Haifeng was immediately unhappy, "What do you mean, it seems that I deliberately neglected it, if I don't send the baggage in place, everyone is in a hurry, but the reality is here, the weather is not suitable for war, how can Lord Xu spew blood every word." ”
"Did I spray someone?" Xu Da rolled his eyes, "I'm obviously a beast!" ”
"You!" Qin Haifeng was so angry that his nose was crooked, "How can you be so unreasonable." ”
"I'm not reasonable, you're coming to bite me!" Xu Dan looked at him with his eyes, and the minister who was not used to seeing him rushed forward, pointed to his nose and said, "You have no king's law!" ”
With this move, Xu Da immediately stretched out his hand and pushed the other party out of the distance: "your eggs, what kind of green onion are you, you dare to point at my nose and scold!" ”
For a while, the two sides fought again, and the fight was in full swing.
In the Jinluan Palace, in the court, although such a large-scale group fight is not the first time, this time it is definitely the most intense, and Emperor Liang even knocked on the table a few times without interrupting the mutual beating between the two sides.
However, at this glance, it was quickly distinguished, which ones were with the Qin family and the Xu family, and which ones were with the Xu family, and the rest of the people were wise to protect themselves, and they all wanted to retreat outside the main hall at this time.
When there was a lot of noise in the capital, the beams had been lost one after another.
The Ning army was victorious, and the army gradually occupied Jeju and other important places, and many people fled frantically, wanting to flee to the capital, but because of the long distance, they had to give up.
The Ning army originally sent a large number of troops to besiege Binzhou City, but it was besieged for several days, wanting to consume the other party's grain and grass, but it was helpless.
The city still has the fragrance of barbecue every day.
The Ning army, who originally came to besiege the city, was uneasy.
They also tried to attack the city, but the newly built walls of Binzhou were like iron barrels.
As soon as the army arrived at the city gate, countless small holes in the city wall suddenly opened, and countless arrows were fired like crazy, and more than 100 people were immediately lost.
I wanted to erect a ladder, but the ladder had just been erected, and there was immediately hot gold juice pouring down on the top of the city wall, which almost killed people.
In the end, the Ning army had no choice but to retreat and attack other cities.
The war is raging everywhere in Binzhou, only Binzhou City stands still like a steel pillar, the people have defected, Ning Jun is afraid, and he is stunned to vacate this time, forming a huge gap.
Cui Shi'an was so angry that his nose was not his nose, his eyes were not his eyes, he wanted to immediately capture the city and kill the damn Jiang Mengyun, but he couldn't do anything about her, plus he was so damaged last time that he was a little scared in his heart, but he didn't dare to fight her head-on.
For a time, Binzhou City became an extremely important strategic location.
There are too many displaced people, according to the meaning of the lord Pu and the county Cheng, it is best not to accept too many people, but the king of Qi and his wife have other arrangements, but all the displaced people will be accepted.
However, instead of providing them with free food and drink, as is customary, they found jobs for them to work.
A group of people followed the craftsmen who built the city, a group of people followed the ironworkers, a group of people followed the researchers, and some of them were originally doctors, and they all went into the hospital to help.
There is also a special group of people who are responsible for the study of poisons and other substances.
Labor in exchange for revenge has never been seen among the displaced people in the past.
Jiang Mengyun did not let them all enter the inner city, but simply asked them to settle in the outer city, avoiding xenophobia caused by local differences.
Some daring merchants have spotted an opportunity here.
When there are many people, there will naturally be more business and trade, and there will be dangers in war, and there are also opportunities hidden in crises.
In the end, Binzhou City became more and more prosperous, and it expanded several times in a row, and gradually, the scale was comparable to the previous Liaozhou City.
Cui Shi'an watched the other party's high-rise rise from the ground, and almost vomited blood.
After he went back to complain last time, the second prince obviously made a move, but in the end he heard that both sides were defeated, so this time he instigated the emperor and sent so many soldiers and horses to attack Liang State.
But even if this battle is won, it won't succeed, Jiang Mengyun won't get rid of it for a day, and this day will not be stable!
