Chapter 19: The Old Thing Repeats Itself
When the people in Wangjiang Nanli were drunk and fell asleep until they were in a daze, Meng Jici and Dou Siyuan ran in while dressing up and shouted: "Crazy! Matsusho! Lose your marbles! Xie Songzhao! Lose your marbles! β
Xie Songzhao crawled out of the bamboo bushes of Xiangfei and said, "Who said I was crazy?!" I'm fine! β
Dou Siyuan patted his head and said, "Oh! Ah! It's the old emperor...... It was His Majesty who issued the decree. β
Gu Mingchao and Jiang Ning got up with a bone, and Meng sent a message: "Cultivating immortals, you? Swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon in the sky? β
Xie Song looked at the mud on his body and said, "Fart, get down to business." β
Gu Mingchao hadn't sobered up yet, and said in a daze: "Yes, say, hurry up, after speaking, our precious prince will change his clothes." β
Jiang Ning is much better as a military person, wiped his face and said, "What important thing do you two adults have to say?" β
Meng Zhici was just about to speak when Dou Siyuan covered his mouth, and Dou Siyuan said: "I'll tell you, I'm afraid that you will start scolding." β
The little servant neatly cleaned up the mess of the cups and plates in this courtyard, and the three of them changed their robes and sat in a circle.
Dou Siyuan said: "Your Majesty issued a decree to the Marquis of Jingping today. Does anyone else remember who Jing Pinghou is? β
Jiang Ning said: "I just found out yesterday, Young Master Lu. β
Dou Siyuan pursed his lips and said, "Okay, but you can't guess the content!" He crowned the daughter of Lu Shaofu as the lord of Liujing, and he had 1,000 households. You must know that the Marquis of Jingping's Mansion has been useless for nearly ten years, and Lu Baiyan has always been called a young master, and now, our Majesty has brought up the old matter again and named his daughter the county lord. β
Xie Song said: "This is slapping the royal family in the face, when did our majesty dare to act like this?" β
Dou Siyuan slapped the stone table and scolded: "This emperor is really useless!" Alchemy is his favorite, he is the best at trouble, the most suspicious of virtuous ministers, and the most fond of traitors! He...... He's really using all his brains in the same room! β
Jiang Ning said: "He crowned the daughter of the Lu family as the lord of Liujing, why did he slap the face of the clan?" β
Gu Mingchao said: "Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, there have been clear regulations that the daughter of the father who was martyred and whose parents were in the second rank or above was given a fief by the lord of the county, or who had made outstanding meritorious contributions. Moreover, the princess's fiefdom shall not exceed 500 households. Gu Mingchao pointed in the direction of the imperial tomb and said, "There are only two county lords with fiefdoms and food estates!" β
Jiang Ning said: "One is my grandmother. β
Xie Songzhao said: "The other is my mother. β
Jiang Ning understood and covered his face and said, "What kind of thing is this, he humiliated not only the Lu family, the clan, but also the hearts of the women in the border pass. β
Dou Siyuan nodded and said, "Exactly!" That's why I said that the old emperor had convulsions, and the matter of cutting the clan relatives back then was done by Lu Shaofu, and he was ...... Hey, this holy decree, more than 100 people in the Lu family all knelt and did not accept the decree. There was news from the palace that Emperor Chengde felt cold at night and was now bedridden. Hey......"
Meng sent a message: "The excerpts played by the Imperial History Observatory today are piled up with a few cases, and the people kneeling outside the imperial study are all dead soldiers. β
Xie Songzhao rubbed his hangover and numb face and said, "It's all humerus ministers, if you kneel out...... What about the Prince? β
Dou Siyuan sighed: "I also kneel, but I kneel outside Zhengyang Palace." β
Meng Zhizi played the tea foam and said: "The queen is kneeling in the inner hall, the queen mother is sitting in the main hall, the prince is kneeling outside the hall, and the minister is kneeling outside the imperial study." I'm also chilling, Lord Xu asked me to come out, don't kneel in the palace, he was afraid that I would really scold Emperor Chengde. He put the teacup upside down on the table, the tea rolled along the edge of the table on his robe, and sighed: "Who wants to scold him, anyway, I don't want to scold, I just hope that he can really become an immortal today." In the end, he gritted his teeth, Dou Siyuan hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "Dry traces!" Be careful! β
Meng's words came from a moment of sadness, who didn't want to show their ambitions when they entered the office? Who doesn't crave the wise and virtuous to support each other? Who wants to abandon the king halfway? For the monarch to disregard the people's livelihood, for the ministers to hold their own authority, the local power is all thanks to the general's suppression, the result is ...... Emperor Chengde was embarrassed in every way, and the soldiers and officials were terrified.
The ancients often said that it is difficult to cool the blood after drinking ice for ten years. He is only in his fourth year of employment, but he is already old.
Everyone saw him weeping at his desk, and their hearts were filled with unspeakable sorrow.
Outside the South Counties.
"General, no matter how you call the battle, it's useless, as soon as the battle card is hung, the entire Nanjun will pretend to be dead!" The striker wiped his sweaty head and said decadently.
Qian Caoguan frowned and said: "General, the grain and grass consumed by our army on the trek is four times that of the usual war with Chen Liu, and the grain and grass in the army do not support a long war, please make a quick cut!" β
Wang Feng looked at the regent's edict on the case - be sure to bring back Li Wuchan. He panicked, looked at the soldiers in the big tent and could only say: "Everyone, tonight will follow me to attack at night, and then both Cheng and Cheng will quickly withdraw the army at the second moment." Don't let anyone catch a turtle in an urn. β
Hai time. The first soldiers on the ladder had just touched the city wall, and what awaited them was not the victory of silence and blood, but the scimitars of the soldiers of Nanjun. The death of a knife without a shout was more touching than the whimper of the beauty, and the blood was sprinkled on the heads of the soldiers who were still on the ladder to the clouds, and they looked up in shock, and the beacon tower of the nine counties suddenly lit up, as if to illuminate their way home.
The march was hasty, not only was there not enough food and grass, but there were no wells, stone throwing carts or eight or six crossbows, only ladders to climb the clouds, but the soldiers defending the city in Nanjun were under martial law in shifts, and the Chen army did not get any benefits from the night attack.
The beacon fire lit up the city along the southern county, and the stones larger than the head of a person smashed on the heads of the soldiers on the ladder, and the brain burst out like a firework that no one appreciated. The chaotic shadow under the shadow made Chen Guo's soldiers inevitably hit by the bodies of their comrades.
Wang Feng wiped the blood on his face, looked back and said, "Withdraw the troops!" β
Nanjun is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the siege of the city is less than an hour, Chen Guo lost one-third of the soldiers, Wang Feng can only take the army to evacuate in a hurry, the reinforcements of Nanjun did not arrive, Qin Zong only led three thousand defenders of the city to pursue with light cavalry, only seeking a blow, never in love with war.
Fifty miles away, a group of Chen soldiers was all surrounded and suppressed, Qin Zong stripped off their armor, took away their weapons, cut off their left ear, and led his troops back to the city.
"The drinks and meals have been prepared, please rest for a while." Yin Xianglan opened the city gate to welcome the light horse.
Qin Zong sighed: "Wang Feng is not good at words, but his heart is extremely ruthless, and he left a team of soldiers behind. Gambit isn't bad either. It's an opponent. β
Yin Xianglan said with a smile: "The general cherishes each other, so you might as well come to Japan to fight." β
Qin Zong said: "Exactly. It's just a pity that I'm stationed in Nanjun, so it's hard to fight him."
The border pass was waiting for the emperor, and Emperor Yandu pretended to be dead.
Not yet, Zhengyang Palace.
Emperor Chengde pretended to be dead and couldn't escape from the empty stomach, he opened his eyes and saw the queen sitting in the inner hall eating snacks elegantly, and when he saw him "awake", he sarcastically said: "Someone, please come to the imperial study to manage the government." β
Emperor Chengde said angrily: "I want to eat!" β
Outside, Qin Yu said: "Niangniang, the Queen Mother was so angry that Her Majesty's words fainted. β
The queen glanced at him and said, "Quickly ask the imperial doctor." β
In Emperor Chengde's stunned gaze, he turned his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, look at you, you are so unfilial, the first emperor is afraid that he will be from the imperial mausoleum...... Come out and kill you, an unfilial son. β
Wan Shen came in with a dragon robe, regardless of Emperor Chengde's struggle, put it on him neatly, and summoned the chamberlain to carry Emperor Chengde to the imperial study.
The ministers knelt down from three o'clock to one o'clock before they saw the arrival of Emperor Chengde's royal car. The hungry ministers shouted long live, and the chamberlains helped the kneeling ministers up one by one.
Emperor Chengde's face was ugly, and he sat behind the imperial case without saying a word. The ministers who drank the mung bean soup came back to their senses, and the old ministers did not wait for Emperor Chengde to sit down, they were already cold, so they could only persuade Emperor Chengde to withdraw his fate.
"Your Majesty, the lord of Liujing can be sealed, but it is never possible to fief the land and eat the eup!" Zhao Huaijin made concessions.
Emperor Chengde's face was stormy, he listened to the courtiers below echoing Zhao Huaijin's words, whether it was the Ninth Five-Year Plan or the selection of talents, he, the emperor, had never held real power, and now he couldn't do it if he wanted to seal a county lord!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more unwilling he became, he suddenly slapped the case, and shouted in despair: "You want to refute my face for the sake of two dead people!" I am the Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou! It's the Ninety-Five Supreme! You don't look down on me...... Then, why don't you find an emperor yourself?! β
The words are like a thunderbolt, and the meaning is like a thunderbolt hammer in the heart. Zhao Huaijin pointed at Emperor Chengde and was speechless for a while. He and Yin Beichen are brothers in the same school, the first lesson he learned is not to form a party for personal gain, Emperor Chengde forced Yin Beichen away in the name of autocratic party, and now he Zhao Huaijin has acted in a bright and upright life, only Xie Songzhao is just a protΓ©gΓ©, and today he just advises, but he ended up like this.
It is not only Zhao Huaijin who is pulling out the cold, but also the minister in this imperial study. Whether the emperor dies or not, it is just a change of power, but he lives to say such murderous words...... If the historical records are not clear, they will really become rebellious ministers and thieves, and their name will be lost.
Zhao Huaijin took off the black gauze hat and put it on the ground with both hands, kneeling down with a straight waist, he said: "Minister Zhao Huaijin, since the second year of Taizu Yuanjia, to now, he thinks he is loyal, and he does not dare not be prepared for danger in peace. Your Majesty's permission! β
More than ten years ago, Yin Beichen also knelt down like this and said, please Your Majesty's permission!
He suddenly remembered that Yin Beichen didn't tell him about the title of county lord at all, and he said this when he wanted to show himself in front of Yin Beichen, Yin Beichen only mentioned the title, not the grade...... He suddenly felt hopeless and powerless, not the despair and powerlessness of twenty years without real power, but the suffocation of water running through his neck and sealing his mouth and nose.
But he clearly knew that Zhao Huaijin couldn't go, although he didn't have a protΓ©gΓ© and an old official to follow, but he would make the students who would enter the office fall to the prince. He took a deep breath and said, "Elder Ge said that he laughed, I have just recovered from a serious illness, and I don't choose what to say. Elder Ge, please get up. I didn't think it was appropriate to think about it, so I only named the daughter of the Lu family as the lord of Liujing, and did not eat it. What is the old man's mind? β
