Chapter 30: Whose Destiny Is It?

After leaving the royal court and returning to the mansion, Luo Cheng felt that the uneasiness in his heart was getting bigger and bigger.

He had just arrived in Hojing, and he hadn't had time to lay it out, and this kind of sudden occurrence was really beyond his ability to deal with it.

What Luo Cheng is best at is enriching the country, purging the rule of officials and reforming finances.

No matter which dynasty he puts it in, he can get the reputation of a capable minister, but his power struggle and royal people cannot reach the level of a capable minister.

It's okay to meet a normal monarch and court.

But when he encounters a monarch like Ji Nie and such a corrupt court, he can't properly coordinate the relationship.

The strongest governance is not needed, and the coordination and military strategy that are most needed now are not considered top-notch.

This is his predicament, he can only watch the whole situation slide towards the abyss but can not do anything.

He couldn't help but think of what the old ancestor had said, Bang Zhou's destiny was burning brightly, and it would soon flicker like a candle, but it would not be extinguished.

Luo Cheng, who had nothing to do, finally set his sights on the Heavenly Mandate Artifact, "The Heavenly Mandate Artifact given by the Ancestor is the only way to save the situation." ”

As if sensing Luo Cheng's thoughts, Ji Zhao's gaze turned over, how could just the few Xuan-rank and yellow-level props in Luo Cheng's hand go against the sky?

Luo Cheng has been deeply involved in it, and the authorities are fascinated, and he can't sit back and watch Hojing being attacked by the Rong people.

"Thousand Miles Talisman!"

Luo Cheng's eyes fell on this artifact for the first time, as long as he could determine the location of Shenhou and send a powerful assassin, he might be able to assassinate him directly.

"No way!"

As soon as the idea arose, Luo Cheng gave it up directly, "Shenhou is not worthy of using such a precious artifact." ”

In the years to come, Luo's may encounter an enemy that cannot be resisted, and the Thousand Miles Charm is extremely effective.

He can't selfishly waste his precious props here.

And the current situation cannot be solved by killing Shenhou.

Shen Guo has been tied to the Rong people, and they must break through Hojing or die.

"June Snow!"

Luo Cheng's eyes finally fell on this prop, and he remembered the record in the family classics that the ancestor Luo Wengong once used a bamboo stick to turn ice and said to retire Xiong Dun of Chu State.

"The doctrine of destiny, the world is skeptical, if you can really let Shenhou see such miracles, under the fear of your heart, you can't really retreat the army."

If it doesn't work, he will fight with the rebels, anyway, King Qin's army will always come, and Bang Zhou will not die.

Most of the ministers and nobles above the royal court know in their hearts that they should not look at the menacing Shenhou and the Rong people.

But the real danger is only the Son of Heaven Ji Ni alone.

Even if the Son of Heaven Ji Nie died on the spot, Bang Zhou would not die.

For more than 200 years in Bang Zhou, the orthodox Mandate of Heaven has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is impossible for Shenhou and Rong people to be the opponents of the army of King Qin in the world.

As soon as Shenhou and the Rong people left, King Qin's army supported the new king, and it was a brand-new Bangzhou.

After these nobles left the royal court, they asked the people of the public office to return to the mined city, and brought some of the private soldiers in the minar to the pickaxe capital.

The rest remained in the mincings, continuing to guard against possible enemies.

They brought elite private soldiers to Hokyung, mainly to protect their property.

Shenhou raised troops so decisively, and used one country to fight against the world's Xia, in fact, many people have already guessed what he wants to do.

It is nothing more than to kill the Son of Heaven Ji Nie and the crown prince, and support the prince in his hands to ascend to the throne.

The crown prince should have been the prince for so many years, and naturally there are a group of people who support him, if it can cause the established facts, the army of King Qin can only pinch his nose and admit it.

After all, when the time comes, the crown prince should be the only heir to the throne, what else can he do?

Judging the purpose of the Shen Hou, they knew that their nobles were not in danger.

After all, the new king still needs the support of these big nobles, and they bring private troops over, mainly to prevent the mansion from being directly attacked in the chaos of the army.

They are not afraid of nobles like Shenhou, but those small soldiers, who may not be able to see their identity.

If you are slashed with a knife, you will really die unjustly.

These thoughts are not humane to outsiders, but they are tacit.

……

The army led by Shenhou and King Rong was too fast.

All the way from the upper reaches of Jingshui is a flat avenue, and there are many of these Rong people, horses, chariots, which can be called instantaneous.

A hundred years ago, the vassal states that defended the Son of Heaven here have long disappeared in the previous turmoil.

Some moved into Wangji, some died and the country was destroyed, and some went to other vassal states to serve as ministers and doctors after the death of the country.

There was no decent obstacle along the way, and the coalition forces rushed straight towards the pickaxe capital.

Those princes of Jinnei directly let Shen Rong's army go, and Shen Hou and King Rong naturally knew that these people were afraid of fighting back and forth.

But there are so many troops they have brought with them, as long as they directly attack Hokyo, these people will not pose any threat to them at all.

Shen Guo was too close to Haojing, and King Qin's army was still walking on the road, and the Shenrong coalition army directly killed under Haojing.

On the tower of the city gate of Hojing, the ministers of Wang Ji looked at the dense army not far from the city, and they were all shocked and inexplicable.

Ji Nie asked with some panic: "Gong Yu, how many people are here?" ”

He has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he has never seen the danger on the battle array, and the alliance between the Shen State and the Rong people is overwhelming, and he can't see the edge at all.

I can only see the soldiers standing in a row, the majestic chariots, and the big chariots fluttering in the wind.

Where did Father Yu Shi understand this, he could only answer vaguely: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there are 100,000 troops." But our army has more tanks, and it can still fight with the thief army. ”

"Luohou!"

Ji Nie's gaze fell on Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

……

Shenhou and King Rong looked at the pickaxe capital in front of them, their eyes were full of pride, and they ordered the army to camp and rest, and then attack the city.

They themselves didn't expect to come to the city of Haojing so smoothly, according to the time when the beacon fire was ignited, it was too early for King Qin's army to come, and they had enough time to break through the capital of Hao.

The top management of the Shen Kingdom is studying the next siege and the aftermath of the city.

A messenger walked into the tent, knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, there is a letter from Hojing." ”

"What did Ji Ni Xuan say?"

"The letter must be a humiliating word!"

"Damn! And let them run rampant for a moment. ”

As soon as they heard the letter again, the ministers and doctors of Shen began to angrily scold Ji Ne in the pickaxe capital.

Shenhou opened the letter and looked at it, and said, "It's a letter from Luohou." ”

As soon as they heard that it was Luohou's letter, everyone stopped scolding and asked with some curiosity: "Letter from Luohou?" Is it for us to surrender? ”

Shen Hou quickly read the letter, and said in a somewhat inexplicable tone: "Luo Hou wants to come to the camp and talk to Lone." ”

As soon as Shenhou's words came out, there was laughter in the big tent.

"Is there anything else to talk about now?"

"Luo Hou won't be, I want to imitate Luo Wengong to talk about the old things about retreating from Xiong Dun!"

The laughter in the big tent suddenly stopped, and the Duke of Luo Wen let Xiong Dun, who had the advantage, suffer a big loss and retreated.

Xiong Dun also left the words of "respecting heaven and knowing fate".

To this day, the state of Chu is one of the nations that believe in the Mandate of Heaven the most, and this story is still widely circulated to this day.

"Ji Nie has ascended to the throne, isn't this God's disgrace to Bang Zhou?

Lone's grandson is a virtuous gentleman, and this is the king chosen by Destiny.

We led our troops to defeat the faint king, and took the real king as the son of heaven, which is a move that conforms to the will of heaven. ”

After Shen Hou briefly appeased his minister, he looked at the letter in his hand with a smile and said: "Reply to Luohou, since he wants to see Gu, he will come to the camp, and Gu also wants to hear what he has to say." ”

So in the midst of all the attention, Luo Cheng came to Shenhou's camp.

In order to avoid suspicion, Shenhou not only all the ministers of Shen were present, but even King Rong was also invited.

Luo Cheng walked through the swords without changing his face.

"Luohou is really good, you came to Lone's tent regardless of the danger, but you came to persuade him to surrender?"

Luo Cheng had a trace of solemnity on his face, and said loudly: "Shenhou, Gu is here to give Bang Zhou and Shen Guo a chance to live. ”

King Rong had a sneer on his face.

The Xia Kingdoms have always had a trace of awe for the mysterious Luo Clan, but as a member of the Xia Jun Yi people who are ruled by the people, he has no natural good impression of the Luo Clan.

Luo Cheng didn't care about this, but continued: "Shenhou, the surname Jiang is a descendant of the Shennong clan.

The Shen clan is one of the great clans with the surname Jiang, and even among the summers, this is a noble bloodline.

The Mandate of Heaven once shone on Yin Shang, when Bangzhou was only a small country in the land of Qishan, and the ancestors surnamed Jiang and the ancestors of the surname Ji survived together in the land of Xiqi.

What a long-standing blood and water feeling?

More than 100 years ago, the lonely ancestor Luo Wengong sealed the Shen family in the land of Jingshui, and only then did he have the current foundation of the Shen Kingdom.

Between the surname Ji and the surname Jiang, between the Luo family and the Shen family, what a deep friendship this is!

Are you willing to ruin this relationship?

Son of Heaven, he was deceived by flattering villains, so he did such a wrong thing, leading you to lead your troops to Hojing.

This is the fault of the Son of Heaven, and Heaven will naturally punish him.

Bang Zhou's destiny is still as bright as the sun, and if you insist on breaking through Hojing, I am afraid that the heavens will soon send a natural disaster to punish you. ”

Shenhou was not angry, but asked interestingly: "In the past, Luo Wengong also used the Mandate of Heaven to let Xiong Dun withdraw from the army?"

King Zhao is indeed a generation of Ming monarchs, and it is normal for God to bless him.

However, since Ji Ne's accession to the throne, the three rivers have been cut off, the Qishan Mountain has collapsed, trampled on the patriarchal law, and abolished the heirs.

Ten days and ten nights of his crime are not enough.

Could it be that the heavens would favor such a monarch?

Lone thinks this is not true! ”

King Rong watched the play quietly, and couldn't help but sneer: "The Zhou people are troublesome, my destiny is probably fake, it is better to learn from us to sacrifice to the gods." ”

King Rong's words made everyone in the big tent couldn't help but look at him angrily, and Doctor Shen Guoqing was still proud of his identity as a nobleman of Zhuxia.

"Heaven does not favor you, and the defeat of the Rong people is doomed."

said this lightly, and didn't care about King Rong's reaction, looked at Shenhou and said: "When Gu came to Wangji, the ancestor of King Su dreamed of Gu, saying that Ji Ne had no virtue, so God sent natural disasters to punish his dynasty.

If Shenhou is willing to withdraw from the army, Ji Ne will not have the favor of the mandate of heaven, so he will naturally not be able to sit on the throne again.

Lone is willing to lead the princes and support the crown prince as the son of heaven. ”

"Luo Hou laughed!" Shenhou said disapprerovingly: "It is true that the Luo clan is an important minister of Bangzhou, but how can other princes obey your call?" ”

Luo Cheng looked around and said with emotion: "It seems that Shenhou doesn't believe in Luo's prestige, but he doesn't believe in the Mandate of Heaven, how can he not usher in failure?" ”

Shenhou was about to speak, but there was a sudden uproar outside the big tent.

"Where did this stele come from?"

"There's handwriting on it!"

Shenhou hurriedly asked the secretary to see what was going on, and the secretary quickly ran in in a panic, but he just looked at Luo Cheng in horror and couldn't say a word.

When everyone saw this, they ran outside the tent, and then they shook the place one by one, only to see a stone tablet standing in front of the tent.

The stele is carved very magnificently, full of a vast sense of beauty, and the stele is also engraved with 16 big characters of "rebel thieves and soldiers, cholera state week, flying frost in June, in order to show the power of heaven".

"Immediately surround this stone tablet, and no one will be allowed to pass it out!"

Shen Hou woke up from his stunned and immediately ordered, a trace of darkness flashed in Luo Cheng's eyes, and he saw Shen Hou come over and ask, "Luo Hou, what is this?" ”

From Shenhou's actions, Luo Cheng already knew that he was afraid that he would return in vain, but he still made a final effort and said: "The divine artifact appeared out of thin air to warn the world, this is probably the last chance given to Shenhou by God." ”

Shenhou glanced at King Rong and saw that even King Rong was stunned, but he knew that if he dared to mention the matter of withdrawing from the army, King Rong would be able to fight with him on the spot.

"Destroy this stele at once!"

"Luohou, Shen Guo migrated from Wangji and came to the current point, do you know how much hardship it has took?"

Shenhou looked at Luo Cheng and said: "Shen Guo has merit to Bang Zhou, and King Su said that the Son of Heaven and the princes share wealth.

When Luo Wengong asked Lone's ancestor to move out of Wangji, he also said that he would enjoy the destiny of heaven forever.

Is it possible not to count now? ”

Luo Cheng was silent for a moment, looked at the camp of the Rong people, and said, "Shenhou, Zhu Xia is righteous, Xia Jun Yimin."

This is Zhuxia's family matter, you shouldn't bring the Rong people with you, otherwise Lone won't appear here. ”

Shenhou understood, Luo Cheng didn't care about the life and death of Ji Nie, the faint king.

If there is no Rong here, Luo Cheng will sit back and watch him break through Hojing, and may even cover up the killing of the Son of Heaven Ji Nie for him.

After all, Ji Wan died in the chaos, and Luo Hou at that time did not hold anyone responsible.

Shenhou regretted it for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Luo's is really it, let the lonely have nothing to say." ”

"Shenhou's meaning, Lone knows."

Shenhou has already given his answer, even if it is really the Mandate of Heaven in Bangzhou, but not necessarily in Ji Nie, Ji Yi is also the legitimate heir to the throne.

There are some things that must be done once you start, and there is no room for reversal.

He wants to kill into Hojing, pluck Ji Ne's head, and ask Heaven what the destiny is!

……

Shen Rong led the troops, cholera Wang Ji, and the god stone descended from the sky and said: The rebel thief raises the army, the cholera state week, and the frost flies in June to show the power of the sky.

Shenhou Furan, Xue Yu Feng Ho.

The sky is unpredictable, like mountains and seas. - "Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty"
