Chapter 357: Great Victory
In April, when the peach and plum are fragrant, the good news finally reaches the capital.
Great victory, great victory!
His Royal Highness the King of Han defeated King Qing without a single soldier, and forced him to surrender on the spot, committing suicide with a sword.
The people rejoiced and spontaneously danced the dragon and lion to celebrate the victory.
And the story of how His Royal Highness the King of Han was brave and witty and returned victorious was immediately processed into various stories by storytellers and circulated in the market.
Although they added too much oil and too much vinegar, they have lost their original face, but Min Bai's battle is indeed too beautiful.
Courage, faith, and resourcefulness.
It's not that there is no villain muttering behind his back, feeling that his battle accounts for too much luck.
The first two battles had already greatly consumed Uncle Qing's combat power, and when it was his turn, he could fight so easily.
But smart people don't say that.
Because of a war, when there is no winner or loser, no one knows how it will end.
If you talk about strength alone, the first two Dayan armies are all elite soldiers and strong generals with tens of thousands of people, and they are almost crushing in strength, why do they all lose?
On the contrary, it was Min Bai, who only brought 3,000 soldiers. Why did he force Uncle Qing to feel that he would definitely lose before the war started?
The time, the place, the people.
There are many factors that determine a war, but if it weren't for Min Bai's full preparation, the whole army being unanimous, and his willingness to take risks to protect his soldiers regardless of his safety, Dayan might not have won so easily.
So when he opened his mouth to agree to the bet, Uncle Qing knew that he had lost the most important things in the war-
Morale.
Fighting spirit.
Assertive.
And, of course, luck.
But throughout the ages, which war has not needed a little luck to win?
Therefore, His Royal Highness the King of Han still won the name and deservedly.
It is said that mercy is not in charge of the army, but appropriate mercy can make a general more heartily loved by the soldiers and the people.
But such an almost legendary victory, although it spread lively among the people, did not cause too many ripples in the court.
What do the courtiers say?
Except for a few people, do most of the courtiers have to admit that they are blind and have pig brains, so they keep holding on and not allowing His Royal Highness the King of Han to go down?
I had to send two people, fought two defeats, lost a mess, and lost face, before I remembered that Dayan still had such a wise and brave prince?
Bang bang bang.
Above the court, from top to bottom, I felt that my face hurt so much that I was about to be swollen!
The point is that this slap was made by themselves.
How much he opposed His Royal Highness the King of Han at the beginning, touting the defeat of the first two routes, how embarrassing it is now.
Especially the princes and nobles, the mood is more complicated.
At the Lantern Festival, Emperor Yan Cheng kicked the eldest princess of Ruyang in anger, and almost killed the two eldest princesses, but everyone watched it with their own eyes.
Although the emperor was also so angry that he vomited blood, he really kicked out his majesty and kicked out the difference between monarchs and ministers.
Most people in the world still deceive the good and fear the evil.
In the past, the emperor had a good temperament, and everyone thought of ways to bargain. Now that the emperor's temper has been forced, no one dares to take this matter anymore.
On the contrary, I think that the emperor is giving the two eldest princesses at this moment, isn't it also natural?
Xiao Dan, the concubine of the eldest princess of Deyang, was greedy for life and afraid of death, mean soldiers, and finally defected to the enemy.
Fang Sui, the general of the eldest princess of Ruyang, is also an incompetent rat, and it is a felony to involve the three armies.
The emperor immediately did not take away the titles of the two princesses, and it was already merciful to punish their crimes.
But this kindness will never last long, otherwise how can you explain it to the people of the world?
So this time, for the first time in my life, the princes and nobles of the main battle have experienced the feeling of being a human sword and I am a fish and meat.
I only felt that there was a knife hanging over my head day and night, and I didn't know when this knife would fall.
In this tangled and tormented mood, the two eldest princesses naturally fell "sick".
The eldest princess of Deyang was ashamed, annoyed and weak-hearted, pretending to be sick.
When Xiao Dan was a living horse, the eldest princess of Deyang, even for her own face, had to get him a hand and ask for personal favors.
But Xiao Dan is dead, and he died so disgracefully, it is very unnecessary.
The eldest princess of Deyang was already planning how to get out and pretending to be sick behind closed doors, but she didn't want the people of the Xiao family to come to the door.
In the end, over the years, he has taken many benefits from the Xiao family for nothing, and he refuses in person, which inevitably seems too ruthless.
But the stakes are so high that she will not protect anyone except her own children.
As for the eldest princess of Ruyang, she is really sick.
She also vomited blood and hurt her vitality that day.
At the same time, he recommended Fang Sui's uncompetitive thing, which greatly lost face, and the eldest princess of Ruyang was angry in her heart, and she was even more sick.
The concubine Xie Gui, looking at his arrogant and arrogant wife who has never been able to live since he got acquainted, is now lying on the bed with a yellow face and a sickly face, and it is no wonder that he is uncomfortable.
"Chang Ping, where is Chang Ping's dead girl? Didn't I die...... Ahem, she won't come back to see me......"
Seeing that she was panting, Xie Gui frowned and persuaded, "Good and dignified, what are you angry again?" Chang Ping didn't come back a few days ago, and he also sent those good medicinal materials. It's only that now the old lady Huang in the palace is sick, and she has the grace to raise her. Chang Ping is waiting in the palace, where can he divide the three heads and six arms? ”
"But I, I'm her mother!"
But the birth of grace is not as great as the cultivation of grace.
can see that the eldest princess of Ruyang is panting uncomfortably, Xie Gui didn't say this in the end.
"I know your intentions, it's just that you see that the current situation is not good, and you want to make the marriage between Changping and King Han. But at this juncture, how can you urge the emperor? ”
was poked in the center, the eldest princess of Ruyang's eyes flashed, but she said stubbornly, "This family affair was originally chosen by Chang Ping himself, and besides, for the sake of his father, he still lies on the ice and begs for carp, and now that her mother is in trouble, she dares to see death and not save her?" ”
Xie Gui shook his head.
He naturally understands his wife's thoughts.
Now that Min Bai has won a complete victory, the next step is that the emperor will naturally clean up these criminals.
The eldest princess of Ruyang is not yet given death, but it is very likely that she will be demoted to the title and cut the food.
But she didn't want to accept either.
She is used to living a good life of glory and wealth, and as long as there is a way, she does not want to suffer such humiliation.
Now that the king of Han has won a big victory, isn't it the best solution to urge him to conclude a good relationship with his daughter?
At that time, the emperor will not be able to cut the face of her own mother too much.
So at this moment, the eldest princess of Ruyang regrets that she didn't do it earlier and made her so passive now.
But Xie Gui thought that Min Bai didn't make this feat, so he dared to resist the pressure and refuse the marriage. Now that I have returned from victory, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult.
So he felt that it was better to retreat as advance.
The two eldest princesses of Ruyang and Deyang took the lead, and invited the relatives of the clan, it is best to enter the palace in plain clothes with this sick look now, and kneel down to reduce the title of the food, so that the emperor has a step to go down, but it will not be too heavy.
At that time, I will conclude a relationship with my children, firstly, to make my daughter a good person, and secondly, Min Bai is embarrassed to refuse.
