In the last chapter, it was said that on October 30, the 31st year of Duanning, the city of Dingyi Mansion was finally attacked by the Marquis of Lechang, the generalissimo of the Hutao Army, Bai Chang, and the left and right armies of the Andong Army. And Zhao Jing, the concubine of Zhao Shu, the Marquis of Dingyi, who had just become the emperor for a few days, became the most aggrieved emperor in history because of drowning.

When the city of Dingyi was breached, immediately after that, Bai Chang had already led Jiang Qian and Feng Zhongguo to continue southward to attack Fukang Province, a fertile and rich land with a population of nearly 26 million and nearly a million hectares of cultivated land. The granary of this place is abundant, and it is guarded by the Marquis of Fukang and Yin Zhaochong, the governor of Fukang Prefecture. This Zhao Chong has long had the heart to be the emperor, but he didn't have a chance. However, now that the emperor has surrendered to himself, and he has a million soldiers in his hands, will he not be able to ascend the throne and become emperor? For him, this is a great opportunity for him to become emperor.

On the eighth day of November in the 31st year of Duanning, Zhao Chong proclaimed himself the emperor, and the emperor's throne was in the emperor's palace in Fukang Mansion. It's just that the first thing this emperor did was not to lead troops to resist the army of the Chitang Empire, but to first collect all the concubines prepared for the emperor in the emperor's palace in Fukang Mansion, and then he sang songs every day, completely forgetting that he was still in a dangerous environment!

For another person who claimed to be the emperor, Bai Chang and the two young generals Jiang Qian were extremely speechless when they fought with Feng Zhongguo. This person of the Zhao royal family, is it so strange that they still want to be emperors one by one when the country is ruined. However, since he is the emperor, shouldn't he first govern the people and resist the invasion of the army under their command? Do you think being an emperor is for fun?

Because Zhao Chong never thought that the army of the Chitang Empire would arrive so quickly, as a result, when he was still sleeping with a beautiful woman in his arms in the emperor's palace, the soldiers of the army of the Chitang Empire had completely swept away the outskirts of Fukang Mansion City, and soon surrounded Fukang Mansion City and the emperor's palace where Zhao Chong stayed. Because the army of the Chitang Empire had completely cut off the connection between the city of Fukang and the emperor's palace. The emperor's dormitory was short of grain and grass, and although the grain depot in Fukang Mansion was abundant, it fell into chaos because of the leaderless dragons.

Sure enough, before he could wait for three days, Zhao Chong finally tied himself up and surrendered to Bai Chang, Jiang Qian and Feng Zhongguo because of the lack of food and grass in the emperor's palace. After that, the city of Fukang Mansion also opened its gates to welcome the entry of the army of the Red Tang Empire.

After Bai Chang, Jiang Qian, and Feng Zhongguo occupied the city of Fukang Mansion, they ordered their soldiers to continue to attack the next city, Rao Xing Mansion, after a full meal.

However, Yin Xing Shilian, the governor of Rao Xing Mansion, was a rare loyal person in the Dongwu Empire, but in the face of the Red Tang Empire's army like a tide, he knew that the mandate of heaven could not be violated, and it was not worth it to be buried for a decaying dynasty. However, the most important thing for a minister is a word of loyalty. He was disloyal to his ministers and should not live in the world, so he prepared to commit suicide and martyrdom after dedicating the city. However, before he thought about it, his sons Xing Guozhong and Xing Guozhen stopped him and persuaded him: "Father, indeed, you are a minister of the Dongwu Empire, and you have fulfilled your duties as a minister, and you don't need to feel that you owe the country anything? Nowadays, it is the general trend for the Red Tang Empire to be the army of the king and crusade against the faint king. The army of the Red Tang Empire, with strict military discipline, did not commit any crimes in the autumn, and has won the hearts of the people. Why didn't my father do his duty for such a country? Father, it is true that a minister should be loyal, but a minister must also understand that those who are loyal are the people of the world, not a single husband with a surname. ”

Listening to the persuasion of his two sons, Xing Shilian finally gave up his desire to die for the country. After all, his original intention as an official was to let the people of Li be happy and prosperous, and let the world be peaceful. It's just that he is still a little pedantic, after all, he is a subject of the Tobu Empire, so since he doesn't want to commit suicide and martyrdom, he simply acts as an ordinary person and lives in seclusion in the countryside.

It's just that he never thought that Bai Chang heard that this mansion Yin Nai named Xing Shilian was a great talent, so he came to visit him in person.

Xing Shilian originally thought that he was a subordinate after all, and this victor didn't need to come to visit in person. It's just that he never thought that the old man in front of him with a childish face and sharp eyes was the generalissimo of the Tiger Tao Army, Bai Chang.

After a cup of tea, Bai Chang asked, "Xing Fuyin, why did you resign? Did we do something wrong in the city?"

Xing Shilian looked at the generalissimo in front of him, his heart was full of respect for this generalissimo, after all, the army of the Red Tang Empire did not commit any crimes, which showed that the generalissimo strongly restrained his soldiers. What made him even more respectful was that many of the former sages of the Tobu Empire in Fukang Mansion were actually protected, and they would soon be recruited into the court by the emperor of the Chitang Empire and become the pillars of the Chitang Empire.

However, thinking of his identity, Xing Shilian still felt a touch of reluctance in his heart, and he said lightly: "Generalissimo, Shilian is a person who has lost his country, and it is not appropriate to be an official in the Chitang Empire anymore. Therefore, the resignation of the official position was the wish of Shi Lian in his heart, and he asked the generalissimo to forgive. ”

Bai Chang's eyes flashed with a hint of clarity, and he said: "It seems that Xing Fu Yin really has no intention of pursuing a career in office! However, has Xing Fu Yin ever heard of it? Especially for the world, talents like Xing Fuyin are even more thirsty. If you wish, we can escort you into the capital. ”

It's just that Xing Shilian looked at Bai Chang lightly, he took a sip of tea and said, "There is no need to be like this, I am only a shallow learner, and I am not enough to take on a big responsibility." I still hope that the imperial court can create another talent, but I hope to see the peace of the world and the health of the people. ”

Bai Chang looked at the person in front of him who refused to be an official, and he was not easy to persuade him, so he took his leave. In fact, for Bai Chang, it is a great thing that all the talents in the world can be used by the imperial court. However, Bai Chang didn't want to force this person.

It's just that when he watched Bai Chang leave, Xing Shilian suddenly stopped him and said to him: "Generalissimo, if the imperial court really needs talents, I can recommend someone to you." ”

Bai Chang suddenly said happily: "Okay, please tell me! Who is this person? The person you recommend must be good." ”

Xing Shilian said: "This person has the talent of the heavens and the earth, but it is a pity that he asked for the life of the people as a civilian, offended the Zhao royal family, was imprisoned, suffered cruel torture, and was directly crippled by the enemy. This person is indeed a talented ruler, and his name is Shen Yi. If the Generalissimo is sincere, I can go for you. ”

Bai Chang was very happy, and immediately said: "Okay, then thank Xing Fuyin!"

Xing Shilian actually didn't think that he could move this Mr. Shen Yi Shen, after all, he had been tortured for so long, but he still didn't change his mind, such a character, I'm afraid he couldn't say anything. Still, he wanted to give it a try.

It's just that Xing Shilian didn't know that this Shen Yi at this time was already determined to go out of the mountain. Although this man with one leg has always seemed to live a reclusive life, how could he bear to let his talent be buried? His greatest hope is to be able to assist a master of the Ming Dynasty, so that the world can be unified and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Originally, he had lost much hope. However, the emperor of the Chitang Empire named Duanmu Gang stood out, and Shen Yi felt a little admired by this emperor who was obscure, so he had been paying attention to the policies promulgated by this emperor. Finally, as he got to know the emperor more and more clearly, he already knew that the time was coming for him to come out of the mountain.

When Xing Shilian personally came to the place where Shen Yi lived, he came to invite this great talent to come out of the mountain. It's just that he didn't expect that this talent was already waiting for him!

Xing Shilian asked him, "Mr. Shen, do you know the purpose of my coming today?"

Shen Yi said lightly: "Aren't you the generalissimo of the Chitang Empire who invited me out of the mountain?"

Xing Shilian was extremely surprised, because how did the master in front of him know his intention?

Just as Xing Shilian was about to ask, Shen Yi had already replied: "Don't be so confused, although I live in seclusion, I am not isolated from the outside world. The destruction of the Tobu Empire is the trend of the times, you are a loyal servant of the Tobu Empire, but now that the Tobu Empire has become a thing of the past, you don't have to dwell on the past. The purpose of you and me is to assist the Ming monarch, so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment, and share the peace, not to be loyal to a faint monarch and let the world be miserable. I know what you call a steadfast courtier, but you have to understand, what is the ideal in our hearts?"

Xing Shilian looked at the master in front of him, he admitted that what he said was true, but he was still a little reluctant in his heart.

Shen Yi saw the contradiction in his heart and continued to say to him: "Brother Xing, according to your talent, a mere mansion Yin is simply useless. I hope you will listen to my advice, after all, the emperor of the Chitang Empire is a heroic lord, and assisting him will be one step closer to our ideals. ”

Xing Shilian was actually a little moved by what he said, but he still chose to be silent.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
