Chapter 365: If you don't break it, you can't stand it
Zuo Mansha and Xiahou Shuojie heard Sima Hongyan's words and looked at Xiahou Yan, only to see that their emperor was staring at Sima Hongyan with straight eyes at the moment, with a greedy and evil look on his face. In addition to the expression of the next work, where is there half a point of shame!
The two of them were even more ashamed of their self-esteem, and Xiahou Shuojie helplessly squeezed out a sentence: "What can we do?" That's our emperor! ”
At this time, a loud and heavy bell suddenly sounded, echoing in the sky above the entire Xiyue Palace. Sima Hongyan looked out, and it was already white in the east outside, and the sky was getting brighter.
The bell sounded like a clock, and it seemed to be a signal, and the ministers who were originally standing behind Xiahou Yan suddenly moved, and one of the leaders shouted to the back in a sharp voice: "It's time, it's time for the emperor to have breakfast, go and prepare!" ”
At this time, he even wanted to serve the emperor's breakfast, what kind of minister is this, it is purely a group of subordinates raised by Xiahou. Hearing the bell is like a reflex, and thinking about preparing a meal for their master!
Xiahou Yan didn't even stop it, and his attitude was extremely natural.
Looking at the farce in front of him, Sima Hongyan was extremely shocked, it was really a bleak sadness that a dynasty could be deaf and decayed to this point.
In comparison, the emperor of Yanling is really a Ming monarch, and he still takes the country and the people seriously, and the royal family of Xiyue is simply a joke.
Sima Hongyan was angry by this scene, and she said to Xiao Hongying: "Except for Xiahou Yan's waste, no one else will be left!" ”
In a blink of an eye, Sima Hongyan gave a fierce order.
The three hundred female soldiers who protected Sima Hongyan belonged to five squads, and after Xiao Hongying received the order, she shouted: "The two teams of big sleeves and two sleeves follow me!" I saw the big-sleeved master Tingying and the second-sleeved Su Wanyu beckoning to their subordinates, and more than a hundred people followed Xiao Hongying and drew their swords.
In an instant, blood splattered on the hall, screaming again and again, and the group of ministers, like servants, fell under the swords of the female soldiers one after another.
Xiahou Shuojie and Zuo Mansha's expressions changed, and they wanted to say something but didn't say anything, because there was a feeling of joy in their hearts.
The female soldiers were really ruthless, either cutting their throats or piercing their hearts, and more than 100 eunuchs and ministers were all corpses all over the ground in a short time.
Only then did Xiahou Yan feel fear, a look of horror appeared in his eyes, and he shouted angrily at Sima Hongyan: "You dare to kill my minister? He shouted at Xiahou Shuojie and Zuo Mansha: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you take these little girls down for me? ”
It just so happened that Xiao Hongying walked back and passed by Xiahou Yan, and when she heard his scream, she slapped her backhand with a big slap and scolded: "Who do you say is the little girl?" ”
Xiahou Yan was beaten, his face was full of anger, and he suddenly found that he was also a beautiful girl, so he turned to say with a hippie smile: "The girl is so beautiful!" It's so crisp and powerful, I like it. What's the girl's name? ”
This abnormal behavior and language startled Xiao Hongying, she retreated to Sima Hongyan's side, and asked in surprise, "Sister, what's wrong with this person?" ”
Sima Hongyan replied with a smile: "He may be like that!" ”
Zhong Liying really felt that Xiahou Yan's behavior was too weird and abnormal, so he asked Zuo Mansha, "What's going on with your emperor?" Why is it so weird? ”
Zuo Mansha's injury was treated by Zhong Liying, she admitted this feeling, sighed, and said helplessly: "Xiyue has always emphasized martial arts and light literature, and whoever becomes the emperor will see whose martial arts are strong, without considering knowledge and character. This may have been possible hundreds of years ago when the world was conquered by force, but now countries use tactics and stratagems instead of just brute force. I am afraid that only the Xiahou clan is still following the ancient tradition and relying on the strength of force to inherit the throne.
Since our emperor ascended the throne, in order to reproduce children and expand his harem by recruiting beautiful women, he has even entered a state of almost obsession with the pursuit of beauty. And in order to ensure that the harem women would not betray them, they also demoted or expelled the original ministers, but instead made a group of obedient eunuchs become important ministers in the court. In fact, I don't know that if Xiyue continues like this, sooner or later it will face the possibility of destruction. But we have nothing to do about eating the monarch and being loyal to the monarch. As he spoke, his face showed deep helplessness.
Sima Hongyan also heard Zuo Mansha's words, and she said to Zuo Mansha and Xiahou Shuojie: "If Xiyue doesn't make changes, you just wait to be buried in the yellow sand." Once I set up effective precautionary measures on the border of Yanling, so that you can no longer grab any supplies, I guarantee that within three years, Xiyue will be completely wiped out. ”
Xiahou Shuojie and Zuo Mansha both knew that what Sima Hongyan said was true, they used to rely on confusing other countries to cheat and deceive everywhere, and they could barely survive robbery and looting, but now Sima Hongyan has fully understood the real national conditions of Xiyue, as long as targeted strategies are used, Xiyue really can't last long.
But Xiyue lives in the middle of the desert, has no resources to supply, and does not rely on robbery, what else can he rely on?
Zuo Mansha saw that Sima Hongyan's eyes were shining, and couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if Lord Feng has a way to make me change the current situation in Xiyue?" ”
Sima Hongyan replied without hesitation: "Yes!" ”
Zuo Mansha and Xiahou Shuojie glanced at each other, and suddenly knelt down together and said, "If Lord Feng has a way to save millions of people in my Yanling, we are willing to admit defeat to Lord Feng and become vassals." ”
Sima Hongyan said: "Did you two make a mistake?" I am now your enemy, I have come to completely destroy the enemy of Xiyue, who has been harassing us all the year round, and you are also my enemy, why should I help my enemy? ”
Xiahou Shuojie and Zuo Mansha looked at each other, but Xiahou Shuojie reacted quickly and replied: "Although Lord Feng came from an expedition, I know that Lord Feng is not a person who kills innocents indiscriminately. Now that Xiyue has been occupied by the Feng Lord, unless the Feng Lord slaughters all the millions of people in Xiyue, even if the Feng Lord kills all the Xiahou clans, it will not be able to solve the fundamental problem of Xiyue. It won't be long before the West Vietnamese will rob and grab it in order to survive. The border of Yanling will still not be peaceful, so it is a symptom rather than a root cause. ”
Sima Hongyan couldn't help but praise Xiahou Shuojie's quick thinking: "Look at your five big and three thick, but your head turns much faster than others." Since you understand this truth, then I will speak directly about my conditions. If you want to change the Western Yue, you must eliminate the Western Yue and attach it to Yanling. Only then will I think of a way for Xiyue! ”
Xiahou Shuojie and Zuo Mansha were not surprised, Xiahou Shuojie said: "I want to hear what the specific thoughts of the Feng Lord are." ”
Sima Hongyan made her request!
First, Xiyue declared that the country was broken, and from now on, the name of Xiyue no longer existed, and only belonged to the subject state of Yanling.
Second, the Xiahou royal family could not be killed, but they had to be escorted back to Yanling by Sima Hongyan and imprisoned, which could be regarded as an explanation for the Yanling people who were slaughtered by the officers and soldiers of the West Vietnam, as well as the years of aggression against Yanling.
Third, after becoming a vassal state, the rulers of Western Vietnam would report to the capital of Yanling in April and October every year to report in detail on the progress of the development of Western Vietnam.
Fourth, every year, Xiyue should dedicate 20% of the total annual income to Yanling as a year of worship to show loyalty.
Fifth, the new rulers were to send their children to the capital of Yanling after the age of five to receive education, and they were not allowed to return until they reached the age of sixteen.
Sixth, open a school, abandon the old custom of emphasizing military force and abandoning literature, so that everyone can read and understand etiquette, and get rid of stupidity.
Sima Hongyan said that if he could agree to these six demands, he would help Xiyue get out of his current situation.
Xiahou Shuojie and Zuo Mansha had solemn expressions, and they both silently shed tears after pondering for a long time, once they agreed to these conditions, the Xiyue Kingdom, which had been established for more than three hundred years, would no longer exist.
Zhong Liying comforted on the side: "As the saying goes, if it is not broken, it is better to create a new and prosperous strong country than to guard a dilapidated old country." Both of you are ministers who love the people, and seeking a way for the people to live is the right way, so why bother with a name? ”
Xiahou Shuojie and Zuo Mansha glanced at each other, knelt down to Sima Hongyan together, and said, "We are willing to obey Lord Feng's orders!" Respect the Lord of the Phoenix of Yanling, and only ask the Lord of the Phoenix to bring new life to the people of Xiyue. ”
Sima Hongyan helped the two of them up and said, "Since you agree, then remember first that the rule of Yanling is that except for worshiping ancestors and parents, you are not allowed to bow and bow, and I hope this will start with you." ”
Xiahou Shuojie and Zuo Mansha were helped up by Sima Hongyan, and at the same time clasped their fists and saluted: "Yes!" ”
Sima Hongyan said: "In the future, Xiyue will not exist, so let's change the name to Yanling Xidu!" We don't know each other, in the future, the command of this Western Capital will be in the hands of the two of you, you are all loyal and righteous people, I believe in you very much, there is no doubt about the use of people, and the appointment and dismissal power here will also be fully responsible for the two of you in the future. I also heard that the two of you already have a relationship, I think it is better to get married and work together to govern the newborn Yanling Western Capital, I don't know what the two of you think? ”
Since they have chosen to surrender, Xiahou Shuojie and Zuo Mansha will naturally not refute, and besides, the two do have feelings for each other, so they responded without hesitation: "Then we will thank Lord Feng for his kindness!" ”
These people set the future of Xiyue in just a few words, and even the name of Xiyue Kingdom became a thing of the past, and it was immediately renamed Yanling Xidu.
Xiahou Yan watched everything that happened coldly from the side, seeing that everyone in front of him had completely ignored him, and even changed the name of Xiyue, and only then did he realize the seriousness of the problem.
He shouted loudly, and shouted at Sima Hongyan and the others who were speaking: "You shameless woman, I see that you are a little beautiful, and I wanted to take you as a wife." Who knew that you dared to collude with these two shameless traitors to seize my Xiyue country, which is extremely despicable. I advise you to rein in the precipice, turn back to the shore, I can also consider accepting you as a concubine, don't go the wrong way further and further! ”
This Xiahou Yan is completely sick, his brain can't think about things normally, and the words he says are all upside down and logically confused. But one thing is clear, he is still coveting Sima Hongyan's beauty, and he is still dreaming of delusional dreams.
Xiao Hongying saw that Sima Hongyan frowned slightly when he heard Xiahou Yan's words, so he stepped forward and grabbed Xiahou Yan's beard and pulled it hard, Xiahou Yan suddenly grinned in pain, Xiao Hongying took the opportunity to put the dagger in his hand into his mouth and stir it around. While stirring, he scolded: "Let you talk nonsense, let you insult my sister Hongyan, go crazy and don't forget to talk nonsense, I'll let you say it again." ”
Xiahou Yan's mouth was trembling with pain, and Xiao Hongying's subordinates were not light or heavy, and they stirred up Xiahou Yan's mouth, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
