Chapter 3 Fang Hou Qingchen

"Damn, this team of Qin dogs, I don't plan to move the place as soon as the war-free card is hung out."

"So cowardly, why do you want Chen Chongbing to be on the border and refuse to retreat?"

"Don't you expect our handsome to return to Beijing soon? I said, Dashuai, you can just go back. If you don't move for a day, this group of guys who are scared by you will be determined to shrink their heads, and we won't suffocate to death. General Zhao Yonglie grinned and joked to the coach.

Fang Qingchen smiled at the generals who were shouting and drinking in the marshal's tent, alas, it seems that he is really a failure as a marshal, and he will always be the object of laughter among his generals.

Fang Qingchen smiled at the generals who were shouting and drinking in the marshal's tent, alas, it seems that he is really a failure as a marshal, and he will always be the object of laughter among his generals.

"There's nothing wrong with not fighting? The meaning of the existence of soldiers is to protect, not war, and if they can really be intimidated by me, I don't mind staying here forever. ”

"Dashuai, don't be kidding, what are you? Even if you are willing to stay, the emperor is reluctant to let you stay in the wind forever and fight with us old and rough people. The partial general Zhuo Lingyun laughed loudly.

Everyone roared together and laughed.

Fang Qingchen just smiled and shook his head, looking at his appearance, it was hard to believe that he was a general, surprisingly handsome, surprisingly young, always with an air of elegance, smiling gently at everyone. In the bright eyes, it seems that there is a faint warmth all the time. Anyone who is with him feels like a spring breeze.

Almost everyone who sees him is willing to get close to him and be friends with him, but he never believes that he can fight on the battlefield and command thousands of horses, but every general in the military tent at this moment has been saved more than once by Fang Qingchen on the battlefield.

The invincibility on the battlefield, the cordiality and gentleness on the battlefield, and the generalissimo who can laugh and laugh with the lowest soldiers make the Chu army the army that does not know how to respect its superiors among all countries. Almost all the generals like to joke about their bosses when they are idle.

And Fang Qingchen has always just smiled and indulged everything. At this time, he was teased by the love general, and he just said lightly: "I have been on the fold, which shows that the heart of the Qin army is a tiger and a wolf, and I have to peek into my country's land from time to time, I must guard the border, I believe that the emperor will not call me back......"

Before the words fell, a voice suddenly came from outside the tent. "Marshal, General Jingzhong Ji has an urgent envoy to see."

Fang Qingchen's eyes condensed slightly, and he ordered loudly, "Pass him in." ”

With the sound of rapid breathing, a person stumbled into the tent, covered with wind and dust, and the whole person turned yellow, which shows that this road is galloping, day and night, without stopping.

As soon as the people rushed in, they fell to the ground and shouted hoarsely: "Great commander, the emperor has issued an order to summon you back to Beijing." “

Fang Qingchen frowned slightly: "What's the matter, why did the emperor ......?"

The man gasped: "Three of our spies who were caught by the Qin people ran back from the Qin people, and they overheard the conversation of the Qin generals, saying that the commander had an agreement with them. He also stole a handwritten letter from the marshal from the Qin army, and the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty all sent in to ask the emperor to condemn the marshal. As soon as General Ji heard that the emperor had issued a decree to summon the general back to Beijing, he ordered me to come to deliver the letter day and night. ”

Fang Qingchen smiled slightly, still a gentle and bright smile, but it seemed to become hollow in an instant, his eyes were still warm, but suddenly there was no focus, but his tone was still gentle and calm: "I know, you have worked hard all the way, go down and rest." ”

The tired messenger was led out by the soldiers, and the handsome tent, which had been making a commotion just now, was suddenly so quiet that it was audible to drop a needle.

Fang Qingchen smiled and raised his wine glass and faced everyone: "Why don't you drink it?" ”

There was a loud bang, and it was Zhao Yonglie who slapped his palm on the case, shaking his glass and pouring wine: "Dashuai, don't go back." We have hundreds of thousands of troops, only your orders are obeyed, why go back and be idle and be questioned by a knife and pen. Damn, colluding with the Qin State, they can figure it out? Dashuai, you hold the military power in the world, if you want to rebel and become the emperor, it is also a simple matter, why is there any need to collude with the Qin State? ”

Zhuo Lingyun stood up and said coldly: "Dashuai, if you don't go back for a day, there are hundreds of thousands of troops to protect you, see what they can do to you?" ”

Fang Qingchen glared at him: "Nonsense, the army is not a person's private weapon, how can you use the country's army for personal gains and losses." ”

"Outside, the king's order is not affected, and the handsome ......" Deputy General Xiao Yuanfeng couldn't help but persuade him.

Fang Qingchen smiled slightly, and finally there was a sense of amazement in his eyes: "Outside, the king's order is not affected." However, I am not an ordinary general, but the generalissimo of the whole country, and at this moment I am involved in the crime of rebellion, if I resist the edict again and do not return, how will the people of the world look at me, how will the saint look at me, and where will the court still have the authority to control the army? ”

"But your safety is at stake, Dashuai," Zhao Yonglie shouted, "Since ancient times, have there been few cases of famous generals dying at the hands of kings?" We shed blood and sweat on the battlefield, and we finally established great feats, but we were punished for all kinds of crimes......"

"Shut up." Fang Qingchen stood up, and in his always gentle eyes, there was a rare Burning Sky Flame.

Zhao Yonglie was full of complaints, and he was so shocked by his expression that he couldn't say a word.

Fang Qingchen's eyes swept over everyone, and said slowly: "I want you to promise me that no matter what happens in the capital, you only need to do your duty as a military general." As long as you let the Qin people occupy half an inch of my Dachu land, it will be your dereliction of duty. ”

There was silence all around, and no one answered.

Fang Qingchen's voice sank, and a layer of frost was gathered on his face: "Did you hear it?" ”

Everyone was shocked and had to reply, "Yes!" ”

At this time, the generals did not dare to persuade him not to return to Beijing, but there was still some unwillingness in his heart, and the deputy general Xiao Yuanfeng was flexible, and said around the corner: "Dashuai, although the king's life is high, the national fortune is heavier." Among the Qin army, there are many generals, the commander of the third prince Qin Xufei, and the courage of ten thousand invincibles, if you are not in the army, in case you ......"

Fang Qingchen smiled slightly, staring at everyone: "I have confidence in you, the army of the Great Chu State is not supported by our Qingchen alone, and it will never leave our Qingchen, and they will all become cowards." “

"But ......" Zhao Yonglie wanted to say something, but Fang Qingchen had already smiled and said: "Yonglie, didn't you say that you are looking forward to me returning to Beijing as soon as possible, so that Qin Jun can dare to make a move, so that you can show your skills?" Now that the time has come, you're not happy. ”

Zhao Yonglie felt sad for a while, and he couldn't speak.

Fang Qingchen already raised his glass and smiled: "Don't let my business sweep everyone's interest, and continue to drink." ”

No one answered.

Fang Qingchen smiled and shook his head, looking up and drinking the wine in his glass.

***************************************

"Let go of me, everyone drink......"

"Dashuai, you're drunk."

"I'm not drunk, these days, I defend the Qin army every day, I don't dare to relax a little, and when I'm happy, I don't dare to drink to my heart's content, I finally want to go back, I always have to get drunk with everyone once......"

Zhao Yonglie helped Fang Qingchen, who was muttering to himself, to chuang, and felt indescribably sad in his heart. Who would have thought that the marshal, who was always calm and calm, and would never lose his temper at any time, would use wine to drown his sorrows and get drunk like this.

Fang Qingchen's eyes were confused, looking at Zhao Yonglie, but his eyes had clearly passed through him, and looked at someone far away in the capital: "Emperor, Emperor...... Why, this is ...... for me Why, you ......"

"Marshal, you take a break."

Fang Qingchen grabbed Zhao Yonglie: "You tell me, why did the emperor do this to me?" I've always done my best for him, why doesn't he believe me? I have received too high a knighthood, but that is because the emperor was too young to handle government affairs independently when he ascended the throne, and if I could not hold a high position, I would not have the right to help him deal with state affairs. So far, I have held the power of the whole country, and I have never pulled out a single personal cronie or connected with a single party member. I saw that he was getting older, and he should be able to govern alone, so in order not to affect his judgment, I deliberately left Beijing, let him independently hold the highest power, so that the ministers would no longer welcome me, but in turn be loyal to him, is really ridiculous, as soon as I leave the center of power, everyone will come to join me? If I really have the heart of disobedience, and unite with the courtiers, form a party for personal gain, or cultivate a few private individuals to serve me, how can I allow them to be so unscrupulous? I know that the military power I have in my hands is too heavy, but if the emperor ascended the throne at a young age, the princes and clans everywhere, who is not eyeing the tiger, which family has no heavy troops in his hands, if I do not control the military power, how can I ensure the safety of the emperor. I know that everything about me will be criticized, but I don't care, I know that the emperor will not listen to these words, the emperor will definitely believe me, it turns out that I was wrong, he is the emperor, haha, he is the emperor......"

He burst out laughing, and there was indescribable grief and indignation in his laughter.

Zhao Yonglie endured his grief and called out one after another: "Dashuai, you are drunk, sleep, everything will be fine." ”

Fang Qingchen suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand: "Yonglie, you shed tears, haha, you are such a big man, what kind of tears are you shed?" ”

Zhao Yonglie smiled dryly, "You are drunk, you are dazzled." ”

Fang Qingchen shook his head vigorously: "I'm not drunk, Yonglie, are you feeling sorry for me?" ”

Zhao Yongyeol continued to laugh dryly.

Fang Qingchen looked at him with drunken eyes: "Yonglie, you are all very good to me, aren't you?" You're all going to trust me, not doubt me, and be willing to entrust me with your life and death, right? ”

Zhao Yonglie nodded and said solemnly, "Yes." ”

Fang Qingchen laughed deliciously: "If I choose your righteous anger, I will not be betrayed, I will not be abandoned, and I will not be hurt, right?" However, I chose the emperor, so I was destined to be abandoned, and there was nothing to be sad about. It's just that I have done so much for the emperor, and the emperor doesn't care, and I haven't done anything for you, why are you so good to me? ”

Zhao Yonglie was sad for a while: "Dashuai, because, you are too good to us." Before you, there was no generalissimo who could put down the shelf and be with us rough people like brothers, no generalissimo, not only did not take the credit from his subordinates, but always pushed the credit to his subordinates, and there was no generalissimo who would go in and out a few times in order to save the next general, and enter the enemy formation, and you ...... the general."

Fang Qingchen laughed: "Yonglie, don't get me wrong, I'm not a good person, right?" I'm actually selfish to the extreme, expecting others to be good to me all day long, hoping that others will treat me as the most important person. As long as someone is willing to be good to me wholeheartedly, I am willing to give everything I have to him, and I am willing to die for him, but if someone hurts me, I will repay him a hundred times and a thousand times, so that he will live for a lifetime, and the pain is inexplicable, and life is better than death. Yongyeol, I'm not a good person. ”

He kept screaming like crazy: "Yongyeol, I'm not a good person, really. ”

Zhao Yonglie nodded perfunctorily, almost coaxing him to lie down like a child: "Okay, okay, you're not a good person, go to sleep." Gently reach out and pull the quilt for him. But he couldn't bear to withdraw from the account.

He stood in front of Fang Qingchen's bed in a daze, only to feel full of pain and sadness. O god-like marshal, now sad and fragile as a helpless baby. Chu Ruohong, that ignorant little emperor, what kind of sin are you doing, there is no handsome, how can you be today, how negative the emperors of ancient times are, you are really ......

He lowered his head and buried his face in his palm sadly, not seeing Fang Qingchen's suddenly opened eyes, such clear eyes, without a trace of drunkenness, such indifferent eyes, as cold as eternal Xuanbing.

He only glanced at Zhao Yonglie lightly, and closed his eyes again, as if he was really asleep.

Yongyeol, I didn't lie to you. I'm not a good person, really.
