In a buffer zone between the Yan army and the Qin army's camp, Murong Chui and Wang Meng each took two guards and walked side by side.

"Wang Xianggong, I'm sorry to put you in danger."

Wang Meng said: "It's just a choice made under the cold lips and teeth, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Murong Chui nodded and said, "In the face of the current situation, I don't know what your army's plans are?" ”

Wang Meng stopped and turned to look at him, and said in a heavy tone, "You still made this choice. ”

Murong Chui was a little ashamed, and said after a while of silence: "The Dragon City is broken, and my Dayan monarchs and ministers are all in the Tang army camp opposite. ”

Wang Meng had already guessed this, and said: "I know, can you help me contact Tang Guo, just say that I want to visit Tang Huang." ”

Murong Chui said, "Okay, I will definitely convey your words." ”

……

Huan Wen handed over all the affairs of the army to Huan Chong to deal with, and he stayed in the big tent with Xi Chao, eating canned food and flipping through the books he brought back.

The two of them read day and night, and it took them three days to roughly read the books.

In fact, the only things that really need to spend time reading are "Rights and Responsibilities" and "The Soul of the Army", and there is really nothing to study about Chinese civilization and a brief history of China.

After reading it, Huan Wen took the map again and stared at it for a long time before he said: "People say that you can stand high and see far, and the height of Tang Guo is far more than us. ”

Xi Chao put down the book in his hand and said: "Yes, I used to think that the policies such as the imperial examination, the integration of officials and gentry, and the integration of food and errands were too radical. ”

Huan Wen shook his head and said, "No, you still haven't seen Emperor Tang's true thoughts. Although the imperial examinations, culture and education, tax reform, etc., limited the power of the wealthy clans, they also weakened the imperial power. ”

"Especially opening the wisdom of the people, it is the most dangerous for the imperial power, but he still did it."

Xi Chao was puzzled and said, "Then why did he do this?" ”

Huan Wen said: "The answer is on this map. He is not for the rise and fall of a family or a country, but for the entire group of civilizations......"

"What he wants to do is to make our Chinese civilization the real masters of the world...... But the world is too big for our current population to rule. ”

"Only when the population increases and the civilization becomes stronger can Shangzhou, Taizhou, and Rongzhou be included in the scope of rule, and can the people who conquer and even eliminate Yizhou be defeated......"

"As for the rise and fall of the Tang Kingdom, maybe he didn't think about it at all...... No, it should be said that compared to the rise and fall of Chinese civilization, the survival of the Tang State has become unimportant. ”

Xi Chao said in disbelief: "How is it possible, if he can really think like this, then isn't he a saint." ”

Huan Wen said: "I don't know if he is a saint, but what we can't deny is that there will never be a shortage of people in the world who die calmly for ideals and morality, isn't it?" ”

Xi Chao still didn't believe that Emperor Tang would be so selfless, there was indeed no shortage of people in this world who died for morality, but it did not include kings.

In his understanding, kings are usually selfish. It is precisely because they are selfish that they can succeed, otherwise they would have been destroyed long ago.

Huan Wen didn't argue with him about this issue, there was no need, but said: "I'm going to see Emperor Tang and talk to him in person." ”

Xi Chao seemed to think of something, and said in surprise: "Jungong, you...... Figured it out? ”

Huan Wen bowed his head and said: "If Emperor Tang is really as I think, then it is not unacceptable to be a courtier for him, is it." ”

Xi Chao said happily: "Okay, okay, I'll go and contact Tang Guo." ”

Before they could wait for news from Tang Guo, they got another piece of information first. On this day, Huan Chong rushed into the big tent and said, "Brother is not good, Murong Chui has surrendered to the Tang Kingdom." ”

Huan Wen was not surprised at all, but smiled instead: "Has it finally landed, it seems that this battle should also be over, and I should be more proactive." ”

"Don't wait for them to reply, I'll go to the Tang Army camp today to see Emperor Tang."

Huan Chong was shocked and said, "Brother, by all means." ”

Huan Wen said: "Why not, is there a difference between going and not going?" If you go, you might be able to talk to them about the conditions. ”

Huan Chong said: "You are the backbone of the army, if you are not under your command, there will definitely be chaos." And...... Not all of us are on the same page. ”

Huan Wen said with some annoyance: "How did I forget this, immediately upload my order, and put the ......"

He said the names of more than two dozen people in one breath: "Control these people, and if you resist, you will be killed." ”

Huan Chong calmed down and said, "Have you really decided?" Our family is still in the Jin Kingdom. ”

Huan Wen said solemnly: "One of the reasons why I went to see Emperor Tang was to discuss this matter, rest assured, I will try my best to protect them." ”

Huan Chong knew that he had made up his mind, and he no longer persuaded him, and said, "Okay, I know, what should Xie Wuyi do over there?" ”

Huan Wen was silent, Xie Yi's side was indeed very tricky. If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn't have paid attention to it at all. Either surrender with me or die.

But Xie Yi is his old friend, in order to cooperate with him, he first attacked Shimen regardless of casualties, and later preferred to die in order to defend this place.

If he abandons the other party regardless of it, he will not be able to pass the level in his heart, and he will not be able to bear the notoriety it brings.

"Go and invite Xie Wuyi over, I'll make amends to him in person."

Shimen is more than 300 miles away from Fangtou, and it is too much time to come and go. The most convenient way is to contact the Tang Army and take the waterway.

And the best way to contact Tang Guo is through Liang Xian.

When Liang Xian knew their purpose, his expression was not to mention weird, but he didn't say anything.

Many things must be explained by the parties themselves, and if outsiders say it, it is likely to cause a major misunderstanding.

For example, if Liang Xian opened his mouth to tell Huan Wen that the queen of the Tang Kingdom was Xie Yi's daughter Xie Daoyun, it is estimated that these two old friends would soon break up and never get along.

So he didn't say anything, wrote a letter, stamped it with his own seal, and handed it to Huan Wen. This is a pass that allows a speedboat to go to Shimen.

Huan Wen immediately ordered several of the most skilled boat operators to pick up Xie Yi.

Xi Chao was afraid that Xie Yi would not come, so he wanted Huan Wen to write a letter to him. But Huan Wen refused: "With the wisdom of Brother Wuyi, you can guess my plan when you see our envoy passing over from the water." ”

"If he doesn't object to my choice, he'll come along. If I object, it's useless even if I go there myself. ”

Xi Chao stopped talking.

Indeed, the Yellow River has been controlled by the Tang State Navy, and Huan Wen's boat can pass freely, and fools know what is going on.

Now what they need to worry about is whether Xie Yi is willing to come, and how they will give each other an explanation after coming.

It's just that what Huan Wen couldn't have imagined was that Xie Yi was also having a headache, how to explain to his old friend that his daughter was the queen of the enemy country.

But fortunately, Huan Wen decided to surrender, and things were much easier.

The clippers worked day and night, and the next morning they returned to the camp.

Huan Wen personally went to the dock to greet him, and as soon as he met, he bowed and said, "Brother Wuyi, I'm sorry for you." ”

Then they found that Xie Yi also bowed heavily: "County Prince, I'm sorry for you." ”

This...... Huan Wen and the others were a little dazed, what was going on?

Xi Chao reacted the fastest, and hurriedly said: "This is not the place to talk, it's not too late for us to go back to the big tent." ”

Naturally, the crowd would not object, so they returned to the big tent together, and retreated left and right and did not allow anyone to approach.

After sitting down, Xie Yi preemptively said: "County Lord, in fact, there is something I have been hiding from you...... It's hard to talk about. ”

Huan Wen smiled: "Haha, Brother Wuyi, this is not your temperament." You and I have been friends for decades, and it doesn't hurt to say anything directly. ”

Xie Yi inked for a long time before saying, "You must know about the disappearance of my eldest daughter." ”

Huan Wen was even more surprised, Xie Daoyun's disappearance was big news back then, but what does this have to do with me?

"Actually...... We already know where she is. ”

Huan Wen said sincerely: "This is a good thing, I want to congratulate you, I don't know where my niece is now?" ”

Xie Yi felt even more guilty in his heart, sighed and said, "She is in the Tang Kingdom." ”

Huan Wen's expression froze, and he said, "Tang Guo? ”

"Yes, she...... It was the Empress of the Tang Kingdom. ”

“……”

Huan Wen took a deep breath and said, "Brother Wuyi, this joke is not funny at all. ”

Xie Yi said ashamedly: "I'm not joking, the little girl is indeed the queen of the Tang Kingdom." The Tang envoy is still here, and he can be called over to confirm it. ”

“……”

Huan Chong said angrily: "Xie Yi, you despicable villain, my brother trusts you so much, I didn't expect you to betray us." ”

Xie Yi's face turned red, and he raised his hand and said, "If I Xie Yi betrays the county prince, I will die under the arrows." ”

Huan Chong wanted to say something, but was stopped by Huan Wen.

"I believe that Wu Yi is not such a person."

Huan Chong said unwillingly: "Brother." ”

Xie Yi said gratefully: "Xie Jungong trusts. ”

Huan Wen said: "But I also want to know what happened. ”

Xie Yi said: "I will tell you everything I know." ”

But before he could speak, Huan Wen stopped him, and then called Liang Xian over.

After entering the big tent, Liang Xian respectfully saluted Xie Yi: "General Xie." ”

Xie Yi didn't dare to hold it up, so he got up and returned the salute.

Seeing this attitude, Huan Wen and the others had almost affirmed Xie Yi's words, but still asked: "Mr. Liang, General Xie said that the queen of your country is his eldest daughter, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Liang Xian affirmed: "This is indeed the case." ”

Huan Wen bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Brother Wuyi can tell me what you know." ”

So Xie Yi told him what happened, of course, what he said was what Tang Guo wanted him to know.

“…… I was shocked when we found out about it, but there was nothing I could do about it......"

"But I dare to swear to heaven that the Xie family has never done anything to harm the Jin Kingdom, and they have never helped the Tang Kingdom."

Huan Wen and the others obviously didn't believe it.

At this time, Liang Xian interjected: "There is something I want to tell General Xie, but this matter may have a bit of a big impact on you, please be mentally prepared." ”

Xie Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "You say." ”

Liang Xiandao: "The information you know, except for the queen's identity is true, the rest are fake." ”

Xie Yiluo stood up and said, "What did you say?" ”

This change is really unexpected, Huan Wen and the others also look at each other, what is this going to do? But...... It's exciting.

"Brother Wuyi, don't be impatient, listen to Mr. Liang." Huan Wen persuaded.

Xie Yi took a deep breath and said, "You say, what's going on?" ”

Liang Xian said unhurriedly: "Where to start...... Let's put it this way, the Tang State is not a country that has been established for hundreds of years, he has been established for a very short time, just fifteen years. ”

"What?" This time it was Huan Wen and the others' turn to accept it.

"How is it possible, simplified characters, these books, blue and white porcelain, white porcelain, colored glass...... Where did it all come from? ”

Liang Xian said: "All this was created by His Majesty, including the Tang Kingdom. ”

Xi Chao said: "Impossible, how can one person do this." ”

Liang Xian said: "Believe it or not, it's up to you, that's the case." ”

Huan Wen's brain was in a mess, but he still stopped everyone: "Let's not speak, let him slowly explain things clearly, I am now more and more curious about how many secrets Tang Guo has." ”

Xie Yi added: "You won't lie again this time, will you?" ”

Liang Xian smiled: "Don't worry, there is no need to hide it from you anymore when things come to this point." ”

"Seventeen years ago, Ran Wei perished, and tens of thousands of us went south to the Jin Kingdom to survive. It's just that the half-way wandering marshal was killed by Yan Guo, and our group of people lost their leader......"

"I don't need to tell you what will happen to the homeless people who don't have the handsomeness, right?"

No one answered him, because this was the disgraceful side of the court and of those in power.

"Tens of thousands of us were divided, and in the end, only more than 2,000 old, young, sick and disabled were driven to the Huiji Mountains to fend for themselves."

"It was the ninth year of Yonghe, and His Majesty was seventeen years old, and he became the leader of these two thousand...... At that time, I was only ten years old, and my parents and family had all died in the rebellion, and I had to rely on His Majesty's help to survive. ”

When he talked about the pain at that time, his eyes were moist.

"If it had been normal, we would have died quietly in the mountains...... But the road to heaven and earth came just when we were desperate. ”

"Wang Xizhi held a literary meeting in Lanting, and His Majesty wanted to ask for some leftover food from the nobles to come back to satisfy everyone's hunger."

"Even His Majesty has prepared a long poem, if you have the opportunity to take it out, maybe it will be appreciated by a nobleman, and more than 2,000 of us will be able to live."

Xie Yi interjected: "Spring River Flower Moonlit Night? ”

This long poem has been widely circulated and has caused a lot of controversy because of the format, but everyone has to admit that it is indeed a masterpiece and opens up a whole new genre.

Many people are imitating its rhyme to write poems, which are named new style poems.

Liang Xian said: "Yes. But His Majesty didn't have a chance to speak at all, and he almost lost his life because he was beaten with a stick because he got in the way of a nobleman's eyes. ”

"Your Majesty has a great life, and he survived by relying on the herbs in the mountains. After he woke up, he said a word to us: Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. ”

Then he asked, "Why?" A group of things that lose power and humiliate the country will only be in the nest, groveling and fleeing like reservoir dogs in front of foreigners, why? ”

"Ahem......" There was a coughing sound in the tent.
