Chapter 642, Princess Qionghua
Zhang Tong frowned and said, "Brother, you don't have to decide your life rashly for this reason!" Zhang Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not exactly for Miss Fang!" This time, I suddenly discovered what kind of man is a real man in a woman's heart! What is the use of a man who is sad and sad, the kind of man who is more feminine than a woman! A real man should be like a stag in a pack of deer, a male wolf in a pack of wolves, a man who protects the women and children of the pack, and a man who fights with the enemy in a bloody battle! The man who 'strategizes and decides thousands of miles away' is not a man, he is a coward! It's a man, it's time to fight! β
Zhang Tong showed a look of surprise, then nodded heavily, and said, "Brother, what he said couldn't be more right!" β
Zhang Feng said: "I have already decided!" When I get to Bianliang, I will take the military major in college, and I will definitely not lose to anyone! Zhang Tong showed a look of admiration, feeling that his brother at this moment had a little bit of the temperament of Brother Yanwang, and men should be like this.
Early the next morning, Yang Peng and his entourage bid farewell to Fang Jinzhi and continued on the road. Along the way, Zhang Feng always looked for opportunities to learn martial arts from Yang Peng, Zhang Feng originally thought that learning martial arts was much simpler than learning poetry and songs, but he didn't expect that things were far from being as simple as he imagined, and learning martial arts was much more difficult than learning poetry and songs; However, Zhang Feng was not discouraged, and insisted on asking Yang Peng for advice every day, although Yang Peng didn't know why Zhang Feng suddenly wanted to learn martial arts, but he was very happy to see him so studious, so he poured his experience into it.
Unconsciously, the group returned to Bianliang. Yang Peng said goodbye to the Zhang family brothers and sisters and returned to the palace. When the wives and concubines at home heard that Yang Peng was back, they were overjoyed and came out to greet them, "Dad! Yang Rui screamed happily and plunged into Yang Peng's arms. Yang Peng picked up Yang Rui and turned around in place, Yang Rui laughed happily. At this time, the other children also came, looking up at their father with a look of longing. Yang Peng put down Yang Rui, picked up the children one by one, kissed their faces, the children smiled happily, and for a while, Yang Peng and the children were happy. The wives stood aside and looked at it with a smile, looking happy with children, and the smiles without children couldn't help but reveal a trace of melancholy and hope.
That night, the palace held a family banquet, and Yang Peng and all the wives and children ate, drank and chatted, and enjoyed themselves.
Yang Peng sat in the study, looking at the report he had just received. All the members of the cabinet were present, looking at Yang Peng, who was sitting behind the bookcase.
Yang Peng put down the report and said with a smile: "The Japanese fight is really lively!" The two sides are evenly matched, and it is difficult to solve! Looking up at Zhang Ping and his wife, he asked with a smile: "The two of them are fighting lively, our business must be doing very well, right?" Zhang Ping and his wife laughed, Zhang Ping excitedly hugged his fists and said: "It can really be said to be a big fat city!" Both of them are constantly purchasing all kinds of ordnance and armor from us, as well as grain and grass baggage, and even now, this trade is still being done! How much you have earned, you can't count it yet, but it must have exceeded six million taels of silver! The number keeps increasing! Sun Er said with a smile: "I didn't expect this war money to be so easy to make, I really hope that our surrounding countries will fight each other endlessly, so that we will make a fortune!" The crowd laughed.
Yang Peng looked at Ya Yu Guanyin and asked, "Are there any other important reports?" β
Ya Yu Guanyin hugged his fists and said, "I was about to report to my eldest brother." A few days ago, I received a report that the Liao protector king Ye Yu Hucheng led a large army to attack the Goryeo rebels. That Wang Yue rebelled in Goryeo, the Liao State was defenseless, and with the full support of the people of Goryeo, he occupied the entire territory of Goryeo almost overnight and played the name of the country of Great Goryeo! Yang Peng smiled, and Huang Qiaoyun mocked: "Great Gaoli! is such a small country, I think it will be destroyed by the Liao State in an instant, and I dare to call it a great Goryeo! It's really shameless and self-conscious! β
Yang Peng remembered some things in the aftermath and said with a smile: "The Koreans are very interesting, the famous characters among our Han people have all become Koreans in their mouths!" In their culture, there is also the legendary Great Goryeo Empire, which covers almost the entire Central Plains! β
Everyone was in an uproar, and Sun Er couldn't help but scold: "What a bunch of idiots! Zhang Xiang waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid it's not just an idiot!" This shows that these Goryeo people have great ambitions, otherwise how could they fantasize about such a so-called Great Goryeo Empire! Everyone nodded thoughtfully, and Huang Qiaoyun mocked: "Just because they also want to enter the Central Plains?" That's a fool's dream! β
Yang Peng raised his hand, and everyone stopped talking.
Ya Kannon continued: "The Protector King is storming Goryeo, and the battle situation is very bad for Goryeo; The Khitan army was divided into two routes, and the balance of strength was like a bamboo, and the Goryeo army was defeated and retreated, which was difficult to resist. Now the Khitan army has approached Kaijing. According to the current situation, it is estimated that the Liao State can completely destroy the Goryeo Kingdom before the Spring Festival this year! Yang Peng showed a thoughtful look, and he was considering whether to take advantage of this time to send troops to Liao. After thinking for a moment, I felt that this was not the time, I would enter Jiangnan and just be reunified, and all aspects were not yet on the right track, and many main forces still needed to stay in Jiangnan to stabilize the situation. Besides, the Liao State is not defenseless, they have deployed 300,000 troops at the border, and it is not easy to break through the defense of those 300,000 troops!
As soon as he thought of this, he gave up his plan to send troops to Liao.
Ya Yu Guanyin said: "The envoy of Goryeo has arrived in Bianliang two days ago and wants to seek our help. β
Yang Peng said with a smile: "There is no aid, but if they use the money to buy grain, grass, heavy armor and weapons, they can." β
Ya Kannon asked, "Doesn't the eldest brother see him?" Yang Peng said: "There is no need for that!" Guanyin, you can see him. Ye Yu Guanyin hugged his fists and promised, and said: "Yang Yanzhao's chief has sent a report that he is dispatching troops to prepare to recapture Yumen Pass. Yang Peng nodded thoughtfully. Wanyan Qingfeng continued: "In addition, the envoy of the Yue Li Dynasty has arrived and wants to see the eldest brother!" The envoys of Tibet and Dali also arrived, and they all came to seek peace. β
Yang Peng said: "I don't see any of these people, and your cabinet can deal with it." The Tibetans could negotiate peace with him, and the Yue Li Dynasty could, but they had to compensate for the losses and return the captive population; As for Dali, hum, wouldn't it be too unreasonable if the betrayer could have a good end! Glancing at everyone, "For Dali, you only need to remember one thing, let them understand, either surrender or perish!" And they all agreed together.
As soon as Princess Qionghua saw Duan Zhixing, the envoy of Dali, she asked angrily: "Why are my father and uncle so unwise!" actually betrayed the alliance with Yan Yun and openly invaded Yan Yun's territory! β
Duan Zhixing said depressedly: "At that time, I thought that the Liao Kingdom was also involved, and there were those Confucian scholars as internal responses, thinking that great things could be accomplished!" Who would have thought that the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, there was civil strife in the Liao State, the army was withdrawn, and those Confucian scholars were even rice buckets, and they were all wiped out without any waves! The other parties either made no progress, or the army was defeated like a mountain, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Eighth Prince and Zhao Heng, such a good time, not only did not play much role, but was completely wiped out by Yan Yun's army in three or two strokes! Alas, the situation was reversed in an instant, which was really unexpected! β
Princess Qionghua said angrily: "You are too naΓ―ve! I said a long time ago that Yan Yun is different from any previous Central Plains Dynasty, and you must not look at Yan Yun with the same concept as the previous Central Plains Dynasty! The real strength of Yanyun is not only the millions of Yanyun troops, but tens of millions of Yanyun people! Once needed, Yan Yun can mobilize the vast majority of the people and forces in the country for war! Yan Yun is a fierce beast, a war-centered society, and they have become a fighting nation! Glancing at Duan Zhixing, "Hmph! Not to mention the six-party alliance, even double the strength can't help Yan Yun! β
Duan Zhixing's heart sank, his face turned pale, and he said, "We really underestimated Yan Yun!" Looking at Princess Qionghua, he said hopefully: "Princess, the safety of our Dali depends on the princess!" β
Princess Qionghua smiled bitterly and said, "What can I do?" Duan Zhixing hurriedly said: "The princess can go and beg King Yan and beg him to let Dali go......" Princess Qionghua shook her head and said: "Don't say that he has never touched me, even if I am already her woman, it will not be useful to beg him!" β
Duan Zhixing showed a look of surprise, "He, he's such a person who hasn't touched the princess?!" Then his face was like ashes, "This, how is this good!" Princess Qionghua glanced at Duan Zhixing and couldn't help but feel very sad. Said: "King Yan is a hero, he will not let anyone go!" None of the countries around him can run, and one day they will all be destroyed by Yan Yun's iron hooves! β
Duan Zhixing pleaded: "Her Royal Highness the princess has to give it a try no matter what!" Princess Qionghua sighed and nodded, "Naturally, I can't sit idly by. He stood up and said, "I'll go and ask to see King Yan." Duan Zhixing bowed and said: "Everything depends on Her Royal Highness the Princess!" β
After Yang Peng finished the meeting with the cabinet, he left the hall and returned to the back. When he came to Han Bing's room, he saw Han Bing coming to greet him with a big belly, so he hurriedly stepped forward, supported Han Bing, and said with concern: "You are pregnant, you can't move!" Han Bingyan smiled and said, "The medical officer said that it is actually beneficial to exercise properly while you are pregnant!" Yang Peng helped Han Bing to stroll in the yard, and Han Bing, who was about to become a mother, was very excited, and kept talking about the child. glanced at Yang Peng and said with a smile: "If it were a boy, I hope he would be as heroic and invincible as his eldest brother!" Yang Peng smiled and said, "That's difficult!" Han Bing glanced at Yang Peng and said angrily: "Really, I don't have confidence in my son!" β
Yang Peng stopped, bent down and stroked Han Bing's high bulging abdomen, and smiled: "I still hope to be a girl, as beautiful as her mother!" Han Bingyan smiled, and then said with a straight face: "Big brother, I beg you for one thing!" Yang Peng straightened up and said with a smile: "What do you want between husband and wife!" As long as your husband and I can do it, I will definitely do it for you! Han Bing's beautiful face showed a gentle look, and said, "I hope that even if it is a girl, let her learn martial arts!" Yang Peng smiled, "What's wrong with this!" "Thank you, big brother!" Then he took the initiative to kiss Yang Peng's cheek.
Yang Peng said: "It's useless for us to say anything here, it also depends on his own mind!" If your child doesn't like to practice martial arts, you can't force him! β
Han Bing said with great certainty: "I believe that our children must like martial arts!" β
Yang Peng smiled, "That's hard to say!" Then he held Han Bing's hands and said, "Han Bing, what does the child want to do in the future, we parents can't be reluctant!" Han Bing frowned, glanced at Yang Peng, and said angrily: "It's as if our kid must be a guy who doesn't like martial arts!" In that case, I would not recognize him! Yang Peng was stunned. Han Bing suddenly sneered, and his beautiful eyes flowed: "I'm laughing with you!" Even if it's not like us, it's my sweetheart! Don't worry, I will never force a child! But I believe that our children cannot be neither like their fathers nor like their mothers! Yang Peng smiled and nodded.
Han Bing looked at Yang Peng affectionately and said, "It's so good! The war ended so soon, and when I gave birth, my eldest brother could be by my side! Yang Peng only felt a thousand turns of tenderness, and gently hugged Han Bing into his arms. Han Bing snuggled in her lover's arms, only hoping that this moment would be eternal, forever and sometimes, and this love would be endless for a long time!
Han Bing, who has a big belly, is very easy to get tired, and after only a long time of shopping, he obviously shows a tired color. Yang Peng was worried about her body, so he helped her back to her room to rest. Accompanied by Yang Peng, Han Bing was very relieved, leaned on the soft chair, and soon fell asleep.
Jiang Li gently walked behind Yang Peng and glanced at Han Bing, who had fallen asleep. Leaned down and whispered in Yang Peng's ear: "Princess Dali Qionghua asks to see." β
Yang Peng nodded, stood up, and very carefully straightened the quilt covering Han Bing's body, and turned to leave. When they arrived at the door, several maids guarding the door bowed together. Yang Peng advised: "Take good care of Han Bing, and report to me immediately if there is any situation." A few maids agreed.
Yang Peng, accompanied by Jiang Li, left Han Bing's courtyard and walked towards the front. Jiang Li said: "The concubine thinks that the master must want to have a good talk with that princess Qionghua, so she has already led her to the back hall." Yang Peng smiled slightly.
The two walked into the back hall, and saw Princess Qionghua, who was very beautiful in palace clothes, standing there waiting, and seeing Yang Peng coming, she hurriedly bowed: "I've seen King Yan, long live King Yan, long live Long live!" β
Yang Peng walked to the top and sat down, and Jiang Li stood beside him with his sword. Yang Peng glanced at Princess Qionghua and asked, "Princess Qionghua is visiting, I don't know what to do?" β
Qionghua pounced and knelt down. Yang Peng remained silent, only listening to Qiong Hua's words: "The criminal minister has specially come to ask King Yan for his guilt!" Please also ask Lord Yan to forgive our Dali's sins! From now on, Dali will be the most loyal vassal of King Yan, King Yan has an order, and Dali obeys it! β
Yang Peng looked at Qiong Hua and said lightly: "Is Dali willing to grovel to me Yanyun from now on?" Qionghua nodded and said, "Yes!" As long as King Yan can believe in Dali's sincerity, he can make any request! β
Yang Peng said: "In this way, won't Dali lose all its dignity? In that case, why don't you simply merge into my Yanyun? Qionghua didn't know how to answer this question for a while, was silent for a moment, and said: "Although I have lost a lot, I still have the Zongmiao Sheji!" β
Yang Peng smiled and said, "It should be said that although the face is gone, at least the royal family and nobles of Dali have kept their glory and wealth." For them, the face of the country and the honor and disgrace of the people are not important, what matters is their glory and wealth! As long as you can keep this, anything can be sold! I could have betrayed you, the princess, before, but now I can betray the glory of the country! β
Princess Qionghua was shocked, raised her head suddenly, shook her head and said, "No, it is definitely not like this!" However, although she was so fiercely opposed, her heart was full of sadness, although she didn't want to admit it, but deep down she felt that what King Yan said seemed to be true, but the truth was so cruel.
Yang Peng stood up, walked in front of Qionghua, looked at her, sighed, and said, "You are a woman, why do you have to bear such a burden!" Qionghua's heart trembled, and she had the urge to cry. Yang Peng and Qiong Hua passed by, walked to the door, looked up at the clear sky in the sky, and said, "I once said that if this country is to rely on a woman's body to maintain stability, then it should perish!" If a nation can survive by the sacrifice of a woman, then it should not exist! Because it has lost the most basic dignity and glory, life is better than death, so why should it be disgusting to exist in the world! β
turned around and said to Qiong Hua: "You Dali are the same!" What is the point of the existence of this country? β
Qionghua's heart was shocked, and she shook her head firmly: "No matter what, I must save it, this is my responsibility!" β
"It's a man's responsibility!"
Qiong Hua turned to look at Yang Peng, only to feel that this man seemed to exude an indescribable spirit, which made people just want to bow at his feet!
Yang Peng walked up to Qionghua and said, "The survival of Dali has nothing to do with you!" But since you must do your part for Dali, then you go back and tell your father! Now there are only two ways to choose in front of him, either surrender to me Yanyun, and I can guarantee that I will not be guilty of the past; Either resist to the end," Speaking of this, the corners of Yang Peng's mouth twitched, revealing a cold smile, Qionghua saw this, and couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, only to hear Yang Peng say: "The army of Yanyun will appear on the land of Dali in the near future, and completely end this country with iron and blood!" β
Qionghua stared at Yang Peng, and Yang Peng looked at Qionghua. Qionghua suddenly felt extremely aggrieved, and tears welled up in her eyes. Yang Peng was a little surprised when he saw her crying suddenly, and suddenly, he felt like a demon who bullied women.
Yang Peng said with a smile; "What's there to cry about?"
Qiong Hua said aggrievedly: "You big villain! will bully a little girl like me! β
Yang Peng was speechless and depressed, and muttered to himself: "What kind of trouble is this?" He smiled bitterly and said, "Where did I bully you?" Just tell the truth! Then Zhengse said: "Little sister, the earth is so cruel!" If you can't get used to it, you'll have to go back to Mars! Qionghua stared at the tearful Yanjing and looked at Yang Peng, looking dazed, she obviously didn't understand what Yang Peng was saying.
Yang Peng said: "In short, this is my attitude, you bring my words to your father." How to choose, it's up to him. If your father is really a good emperor who puts the safety and well-being of the people first, he should make the right choice. Otherwise, he will use the lives of millions of people in Dali to gamble his own crown! β
Qionghua looked at Yang Peng and asked, "Are you going to let me go?" β
Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "Of course." Actually, I didn't mean to keep you in the first place, but if I didn't accept it, your father would definitely not be at ease. Now in such a situation, there is no need to leave you in Bianliang, you go back! β
Qiong Hua suddenly became extremely angry, glared at Yang Peng, her delicate face turned red from anger, and scolded: "Yang Peng, you are a bastard man!" Then he ran out crying.
Yang Peng was surprised, turned his head to look at Jiang Li in the west, and asked, "Is this the case?" Jiang Li shook her head strangely.
Yang Peng muttered to himself, "Why did Her Royal Highness the princess suddenly become so angry? Hehe, I'm so stupid, I'm going to destroy her country, it's strange if she's not angry! He shook his head and put the matter behind him.
Just then, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door. Yang Peng looked up and looked outside, only to see Yan Ji in armor and majestic come in. Yang Peng saw Yan Ji in armor for the first time, and couldn't help but light up in front of him, so stunning and enchanting, after wearing the armor, he added a bit of strong temperament, it really has a unique charm, or this is the temptation of uniforms!
Just when Yang Peng was intoxicated, Yan Ji came in, glanced at Ailang with beautiful eyes, hugged her fists and said, "Big brother!" Yang Peng smiled slightly. Yan Ji then hugged her fists at Jiang Li, who was walking over, and said, "Sister." Jiang Li replied: "Sister doesn't have to be polite. β
Yang Peng stretched out his right hand to hold Yan Ji's slender hand, then stretched out his left hand to hold Jiang Li's slender hand, and said with a smile: "It's all a family, how can there be so many etiquette!" The two women smiled and glanced at each other. Yang Peng pulled the two girls and walked to the side, and the three of them sat down separately.
Yang Peng looked at Yan Ji and said with a smile: "I was still thinking just now, I wanted to discuss something with Ai Ji, but I didn't expect that your wish would come true, and you would come." Yan Ji smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes flowing, revealing an infinite and moving charm, and then she thought of something and asked curiously: "Big brother, when I came in just now, I saw that Princess Dali crying and running out, did something happen?" He asked, with a strange look in his eyes.
Yang Peng hurriedly said: "Don't think about it!" I didn't do anything! β
Yan Ji pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Big brother, what you said is a little suspicious of three hundred taels of silver here!" β
Yang Peng rolled his eyes, his eyes glanced at Yan Ji's buttocks, and then glared at her fiercely, which meant to say: "Nonsense, be careful of family law!" Yan Ji glanced at Yang Peng charmingly, and straightened her chest, which obviously said: "People are not afraid of you!" β
Yang Peng's heart fluttered, and he couldn't help licking his lips. Thinking of Qionghua's matter, I couldn't help but sigh and said, "I don't know what's going on?" When the little girl suddenly saw it, she burst into tears and burst into tears! I think it's for the sake of destroying Dali! Yan Ji glanced at Yang Peng, and said angrily: "You, although you have so many wives at home, you still don't know anything about women's hearts!" β
Yang Peng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't she sad and angry because I want to destroy Dali?" Then he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't bother to care about this matter." He glanced at Yan Ji and said, "I have something to discuss with you." Yan Ji stopped gossiping, looked at Yang Peng, and waited for him to show him.
Yang Peng said: "I have already issued an ultimatum to Dali, and I think Dali will definitely become a mess in the country." It may not be possible to give us any chances. I want you to send the power of 'Hua Xu' to infiltrate Dali, first, to investigate, and second, to wait for an opportunity to act. I won't say much about this reconnaissance, but as for waiting for an opportunistic action, it is to see the opportunity to create even greater chaos so that our army can attack. β
Yan Ji nodded, hugged her fists and said, "The concubine will go to Dali in person!" Yang Peng shook his head, "That's not good!" I'll be worried if you go! Just send your men there! You are the great commander of Hua Xu, and you can't take the lead in everything! Yan Ji looked at Yang Peng, her beautiful eyes were full of gentle feelings.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
