Chapter 376: The Hungry Wolf Awakens
Xue Ling's father is a loyal minister to Shen Run, who can be literate and martial, but Shen Run is more optimistic about Xue Ling, Xue Ling is not only outstanding in martial arts, the art of war replicates his father's supernatural mastery, and the most important thing is Xue Ling's temperament, which is not chaotic and not shocked.
Xue Ling has always followed Shen Run, followed him from the time he was the prince, and never gave up when Shen Run fell to the bottom, with a firm mind and unwavering. After Shen Run's rise to prominence, he did not use his power to suppress people, and he was calm and unassuming. Shen Run is very optimistic about him, and it is not surprising that Xue Ling will become the number one general of Long Xiguo in the future.
At that time, Shen Run hoped that Xue Chong could assist him by Xue Ling's side.
Xue Ling Xue Chong's brother is very good, Xue Chong has followed his brother around Shen Run since he was very young, Xue Chong is very close to Shen Run, and the degree of closeness is even closer than Shen Run's younger brother, Shen Run likes this follower, so he does not deliberately emphasize the courtesy of the monarch and minister, and occasionally recklessly Shen Run will forgive him for the sake of his childhood, because he knows that Xue Chong is loyal to him.
Xue Chong, this kid, is very strong in the charge, he has a lot of blood, and this blood is difficult to play on the battlefield. Although this hot blood will make him impulsive, irritable, hot-headed, and careless, these shortcomings are still within the tolerable range, Shen Run will turn a blind eye, he can't expect everyone to be flawless.
But this kid has a fatal weakness, he is unrequited in love with Bai Wanning, according to his age, Bai Wanning is two years older than him, but he just likes her, and he likes her passionately.
In the year when Chenguang faked his death, Xue Chong proposed to Bai Wanning and was rejected. After the Xue family's parents learned about it, they were trembling with anger, Mrs. Xue didn't like Bai Wanning at all, and immediately chose a family affair for Xue Chong, and finally got married after the national funeral, this kid still misses Bai Wanning.
Shen Run actually regarded Xue Chong as a younger brother, after all, when he was in his most difficult time, none of the brothers Xue Ling and Xue Chong left him, but desperately encouraged him, went around to help him make connections, and when his father snubbed his brother and trampled on him, they were always by his side.
Shen Run was not angry Xue Chongxiao wanted Bai Wanning, if they were really happy with each other, he would fulfill them. He was angry that this kid lacked heart, Bai Wanning didn't like it, but she didn't look down on Xue Chong at all, Bai Wanning was arrogant, she didn't marry if she wasn't a royal family, she couldn't marry an ordinary royal family. Xue Chong really made mistakes, and the cheap Shen Run couldn't stand it, he hated iron and couldn't make steel.
Xue Chong thought that his sinking face was because he mentioned his concubine, so he was angry, Xue Chong was surprised by his recklessness at this time, he stiffened, and hung his head in disdain, exactly the same expression as when he made a mistake when he was a child.
Shen Run didn't bother to bother with him, so he spoke lightly and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Xue Chong hurriedly stood upright.
A few days ago, his brother repeatedly told him not to do anything related to His Majesty's marriage in front of His Majesty, and he also knew that he should not mention it, but he didn't expect to meet Bai Wanning with tears on her face at the door, and she almost lost her mouth in a warm blood and forgot about business. Seeing that Shen Run was not to blame, he relieved himself and said:
??“ Back to Your Majesty, the envoy of Cangqiu State crossed the border, Emperor Cangqiu died, the prince was executed for rebellion, and the eighth prince was executed as an accomplice of the prince, and now the thirteenth prince ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, the Empress Dowager Gu hung the curtain, and the former Cangqiu State Yan Guoshi was named the King of Sakura by the Empress Dowager Gu. Empress Dowager Gu sent invitations to all countries, inviting them to go to Cangqiu Country Yicheng in May next year to participate in the Five Congresses. ”
Shen Run frowned, he had heard that Emperor Cangqiu was seriously ill, when he was in Flame City, he had also discussed with Chenguang who the new emperor of Cangqiu Kingdom would be, and now he heard that it was a small child of the Thirteen Princes who succeeded him, and his mother, Empress Dowager Gu, lowered the curtain, and he felt a burst of disgust. The boss of the Eighth Prince is not small, and it is useless to not even be able to fight a woman in the harem.
I think that Emperor Cangqiu was also a powerful generation of heroes when he was young, but because he was old, one was careless, and the other was careless, so he was calculated by his pillow person. Not to mention whether Emperor Cangqiu was killed by the Empress Dowager Gu, even if he was not killed by the Empress Dowager Gu, the new emperor succeeded to the throne and the Empress Dowager hung the curtain, this is definitely not Emperor Cangqiu's edict. What's more, throughout the ages, there have been fewer emperors who were killed by their own sons by the people next to them, saying that they are lonely and widows, and they can't trust others, this is not alarmism, this is a lesson in blood.
The most poisonous woman's heart.
Power is the poison that can drive people crazy.
As long as you sit on the supreme seat, you can't have the slightest slackness, let alone show the slightest weakness and flaw, you can't retreat, you can't be distracted, even if you rest, it's not really rest, and the real moment of rest is only long sleep. He must arm himself tightly in order to be invulnerable and indestructible, even if he is old and sick, he can't slack off, otherwise, there are too many lessons from the past, the first emperor, Emperor Fengming, Emperor Cangqiu, Emperor Chiyang, none of them died well.
From the moment you sit on the dragon chair, it's a real walk on thin ice.
Shen Run was a little dull, after a while, he remembered that Chenguang would also participate in the Five Congresses, and his mood was better, and now probably only when he thought of Chenguang, his mood would be happier, and he would get a little comfort from exhaustion.
He didn't think about how the two would live after they got married, and at that time he was hot-headed and impulsively promised that she could continue to live in Fengming Kingdom after marriage, but it was not always a way for the husband and wife to live in two countries, and he had never heard of a queen living in another country. It is easy to get married, as long as he insists, but how to arrange it after marriage is the beginning of their disagreement and civil criticism.
Simply coaxing her over will definitely not work, unless you get her phoenix underworld together.
Therefore, Shen Run chose to propose first, otherwise she would be angry, she would definitely be angry, she would be angry, she would kill him if she was angry. If you become husband and wife first, even if she is still angry...... Maybe she'll still kill him, but at least it's less likely, he thought.
In short, he was still a little confident that he could appease her after becoming a husband and wife first, let alone a husband and wife, she would become one of the enemies who hunted him down, and he didn't want to do this. Although the matter of wanting to marry her was also mixed with some impurities, it was a sincerity that he had never paid in his life, and he really wanted to marry her.
Shen Run began to have a headache, he decided to give up thinking about these unpleasant things, he should think of some happy things, such as calling an embroidery girl with outstanding craftsmanship to make her a wedding dress, and she wanted a bright red one.
……
At the end of March, news finally came from the territory of Feng Ming that the Feng Ming army broke through the defense of the rebels of the South Vietnamese Society and completely recovered Sichuan Prefecture.
Subsequently, Lord Feng ordered that all those who joined the South Vietnam Association in the Sichuan Prefecture area, whether it were rebels or ordinary people, would be beheaded, and those who joined the South Vietnam Association were made into portraits and posted everywhere, this time she did not deal with the family members of the participants, but the New South Vietnam Association created tragedies in various places, which made the people hateful, and those who joined the South Vietnam Society, their families were also implicated, scolded, and could not raise their heads. The impact was so widespread that for a long time, every family was wary of having a family member join the South Vietnamese Society.
"What tactics did they use?" Shen Run asked with interest.
The terrain of Sichuan Prefecture is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Shen Run thought that this battle would last longer, but the result was an unexpectedly quick victory.
"If there is no tactic, it is a strong attack." Xue Ling said with a serious expression.
Shen Run finally knew why Xue Ling was very serious from the beginning, in just a few months, the army of the Feng Ming Kingdom was able to storm Xiachuan Prefecture, which showed that the combat effectiveness of the Feng Ying Kingdom army was very strong.
A smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
Shen Run had the illusion that the hungry wolf that had cowered in the desert had fully awakened.
