Chapter 99: Aftermath of the Red Dust

Yue Jia wept, and the guards wept.

Hua Lanting silently helped Yue Ye close his eyes, and said to everyone: "You have to go out and wait first, and our brothers will discuss it." ”

After everyone withdrew, Hualan Ting sorted out the bodies of Yue Ye and the King of the Eastern Qing Dynasty, and Yue Jia vented his grief.

After a long time, Yue Jia stopped his sad voice and stood beside Yue Ye, Hua Lanting patted him on the shoulder with his hand and shouted: "Big brother......"

Yue Jia raised his head, looked at Hua Lanting and said, "Don't persuade me, I'm fine, it's enough to have your big brother." Now is not the time to grieve, providence makes people, as soon as it is concerned, you and my brother will deal with the current crisis first, and then talk about it later. ”

Hua Lanting nodded vigorously: "According to what I told you outside the city, I will contact the helper to solve the external threat, and it will be up to you in Zhongping City." ”

Yue Jia let out a long sigh and said, "Okay, let's go our separate ways." I will lead the army into the city to quell the rebellion, and the rest will be decided by the saints. ”

The two discussed some details in a low voice, and Hua Lanting was about to get up, when Yue Jia hugged him and clamped him tightly a few times:

"Little brother, be careful yourself. After the situation eases, what do you do, brother does not interfere with you, and supports you. The Yue family, in the end, still depends on you. ”

Hua Lanting was stunned for a moment, then replied with a hug and said: "Let's go together, don't worry, I want to be stronger than you imagined, big brother, you and I join forces, and the world can go." Take care!"

After Hua Lanting left, Yue Jia first led people out of the city to deploy the 5,000 army, and then led the army into the city and went straight to the palace.

With the pressure of the Marquis of Qingyuan's cronies and the deterrence of 5,000 elite soldiers, the siege of the palace was relieved without too many twists and turns, and then the troops were divided into several places to disarm the rebels in other parts of the city.

Eventually, all the rebel soldiers laid down their arms and surrendered on the spot and were taken into custody.

Yue Jia did not wait for the request, but made the decision to let the cronies and generals who were worried about settling accounts after the autumn fall leave the city immediately, and wait for the will to be decided in the future before discussing the future.

At this point, the rebellion was largely subsided.

Yue Jia unexpectedly did not go to the palace to greet him in person, but returned to the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion with a small number of personal soldiers.

He sent his deputy to the inner city of the palace to explain the situation, and the forbidden army in the inner city had already discovered the abnormality, and after several confirmations, he flew to report to Emperor Qingyun.

Emperor Qingyun began to can't believe it after hearing the news, but later he didn't understand what was going on, but he was sure that the crisis had passed, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, looking back on the past two days was really like a dream.

Emperor Qingyun quickly summoned the few remaining courtiers around him to discuss the aftermath.

First, after screening, some credible officials from the six ministries and nine secretaries who had been captured by the rebels were immediately released in order to restore and maintain the basic operation of the court.

The second is to order the generals of his cronies to lead troops to take over the defense of the whole city and continue to impose martial law in case of accidents.

The third is to send messengers and horses to various places to report the situation and listen to the news, and at the same time, gather soldiers and horses from all walks of life to enter the king of Beijing.

During the discussion, Emperor Qingyun has not seen Yue Jia, who rebelled against his father, and after asking, someone told him that Yue Jia said that he left the Pingnan camp without permission, and he was the son of a traitor, and he was now returning to the house to wait for the decree.

Emperor Qingyun said: "Yue Qing is well aware of the righteousness, does not go with the rebels, resists his father and quells the rebellion, and has made great contributions to the country. ”

Emperor Qingyun and his ministers were busy dealing with court affairs in the excitement of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, when an official of the Ministry of War went to the palace to urgently report that the Northern Blue Flag had just sent back an urgent military situation.

In a hurry, Emperor Qingyun ordered Ma Lanqi to go directly to the palace.

Tanma entered the hall and shouted: "Enlighten the saint, the big thing is not good." Heng Dynasty took advantage of the turmoil in our dynasty, gathered more than 100,000 troops to invade the south, the deputy marshal of the border pass Tu Meng was already plotted to rebel against the country and surrender to the enemy, he captured and killed the commander Tong Guogong, the switch was locked, and the enemy army was released into the pass, and the army guarding the pass was dispersed. ”

"The army of the Heng Dynasty is divided into three routes, the middle road is straight into the middle, the two wings are roundabout, and the front of the army is directed at Zhongping. ”

Among them, the vanguard officer of the front of the Central Route Army, Cha Chahui, led 30,000 light cavalry to march quickly, all the way or cut the general to break through the pass or go around the city, and now it is less than 100 miles away from Zhongping, and it is estimated that the troops will come to the city within two days. ”

When Emperor Qingyun and the ministers heard this, they were shocked into a cold sweat, like falling into an ice cave, this is the house leak happened to rain overnight, and they had expected that the surrounding area would not be stable, and they didn't want the bad news to come so quickly.

The monarchs and ministers urgently discussed countermeasures, and their opinions were divided into two factions, one faction for the main battle and the other faction for fleeing.

The main battle faction believes that the battalions of the Beijing garrison and the 5,000 troops and horses of the Pingnan battalion together exceed 20,000, and they can stick to Zhongping and wait for reinforcements, and when the army of the king of Qin arrives one after another, when it fights to the death with the Heng Dynasty, it will definitely win or lose, and the battle will be resolved quickly, otherwise once the other three countries join the siege, the situation will be more passive.

The main fugitive faction believed that the situation of the reinforcements was still unknown, and it was too risky to carry out a decisive battle according to Zhongping, so they should abandon the capital and hinterland, or go south to join the Pingnan camp of the king of Beiyan, or take the approach to the east and surrender to the king of Nan'an County, and use one of these two places as a base to gather the army and fight a protracted battle with the Heng Dynasty, and then try to counterattack.

The two factions expressed their opinions and disputed, making it difficult for Emperor Qingyun to decide.

At this time, there was a report from the Malay, after the king of Nan'an County in the east learned of the rebellion in Zhongping, he ordered the deputy marshal to lead most of the troops to stay, and he personally led 25,000 elite soldiers to rush to the king of Zhongping Qin day and night, and the front team of men and horses is expected to arrive within two days, and the Pingnan battalion of the king of Beiyan also sent 50,000 troops after the victory, and arrived in a few days.

After getting this news, Emperor Qingyun's spirit was greatly lifted, and he immediately made a decision, and decided to defend Zhongping and fight the Heng Dynasty.

The monarch and ministers continued to discuss a series of pending matters after the rebellion, and when it came to the end, the guards of the Marquis of Qingyuan asked to see them.

After announcing the palace, the people who came came with red eyes and played: "Long live, the prince of Qingyuan and Yue Jia, the commander of the Pingnan camp, died in the house, leaving a letter to be forwarded to the saint." ”

Emperor Qingyun was shocked, Zhanxin watched, and his face changed several times one after another.

In the letter, Yue Jia detailed to Emperor Qingyun the main reasons before and after Yue Ye launched the rebellion, and finally wrote:

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve both.

The minister's family is favored by the country, and the minister should be loyal to the country, and dare not or forget. Killing the enemy on the battlefield and wielding troops to quell the rebellion are all things that are within their duty.

However, the minister disobeyed his father's order first, and his father died later, which was a great violation of filial piety.

Although the monarch's family and country have priority, what is the face of the minister to live in the world, and the minister is the heir of the Zhao family of the Heng Dynasty, and he cannot continue to serve the monarch and serve the country.

In this situation, I only want to die.

The minister did not dare to invite rewards for the great victory in Pingnan and the rebellion, but hoped that the saint would treat the Yue family and the rebel soldiers well.

There is nothing to love in life, and there is nothing to complain about in death. It's better to go back.

Chen Yuejia wept bloodily.

Emperor Qingyun was silent, so it was.

He sighed at the case, and while circulating it to the ministers, he said in a deep voice:

"Yue Jia has no merit, first put the remains of the emperor and uncle of the Changqing Dynasty, Yue Jia, and Yue Ye into the coffin, take care of them, and then agree on rewards and punishments. ”

Two days later, just when the monarchs and ministers of the Dust Dynasty were preparing for the battle to meet the army of the king of Nan'an County and the vanguard troops of the Heng Dynasty, the Blue Flag Tanma, which could enter the main hall of the palace, was invited again.

Tanma came here, but the color of joy overflowed on the face, and he shouted loudly:

"Long live my lord, and there is earth-shattering good news ahead. ”

"A day ago, the Heng Dynasty's left, center and right enemy armies, including the vanguard army, up to the commander, the main general, down to the deputy general, partial general, tooth general, a total of about 400 middle and senior generals, all of them were beheaded, and their heads were piled up under the banner of the Chinese army. ”

"The army of the Heng Dynasty is leaderless, the command system collapses, and it is chaotic without a fight. After standing in place for a day, the remaining generals were ordered to lead the army to retreat slowly, and the danger of Zhongping was solved without a fight!"

What's more, after the return of the king of Xitai, Qiu Madu, the deputy marshal of Xiyuguan, did not agree to support the army and stand on his own, and led 10,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to fight out of the pass, and joined forces with the old department Fang Qingya. ”

Somehow, the two of them were able to travel thousands of miles in advance to ambush the northern border pass, and sneak attack the Heng Dynasty to return to the army. ”

"Now that the Heng Dynasty army has all retreated to the pass, the border pass has been lost and recovered, and the second general Qiu Fang is gathering the northern battalion to break the soldiers to stabilize the border defense. ”

The monarchs of the first palace were pleasantly surprised and couldn't believe it. Emperor Qingyun asked urgently: "God bless my dynasty! Who did it?"

Tanma replied: "The two generals of Qiu Fang sent a message that Yue Jingqin, the second son of the Marquis of Qingyuan, led a team of dozens of people composed of the top masters of the Western Kunlun Phantom Sky Mountain in the Western Regions, the Yiwei Temple of Songmur Mountain in the Central Plains, and the top masters of the Sanqing Mountain Sea Sword Sect, and separately carried out the beheading operation at the bottom of the kettle! Qiu Fang's military horses were also ambushed by Yue Jing in advance. ”

Emperor Qingyun hadn't paid much attention to Yue Jing's existence before, and in the face of this earth-shattering reversal, he understood that his country had been saved, his eyes moistened, and he muttered: "The defeat is also the Yue family, the success is also the Yue family, and the Qingyuan family is really a ...... for me, let me ."

A few days later, on the top of the Cutting Dragon Ridge at the junction of the Dust Dynasty and the Great Qi, Hua Lan Ting stood in the wind, surrounded by dozens of people such as Wu Ding, Yuan Miao, Tai Mianzi, etc., all of whom were the top masters of the three factions, and it was this group of people arranged by Hua Lan Ting in advance to kill hundreds of commanders and generals of the Heng Dynasty, causing the army to collapse without a fight.

Hua Lanting bowed his hand: "Everyone, thank you for your support for this action, and I will ask for things in the future." Your observation of my passage will be beneficial to all of you, and it will be counted as my reward. Let's see you soon. ”

Everyone joined hands or clasped their hands, and said indefinitely: "Yue Shaoxia doesn't have to be polite, this kind of opportunity is a blessing for us." What is entrusted will be done. ”

Hua Lanting looked up at the sky, and silently cherished Dai Luosi and Zhao Lingyu in his heart, and said: There will be no time in the future.

He took out a bag he had with him and opened it, revealing that there was something inside, but it was the heirloom jade seal of the Dust Dynasty.

The jade seal was actually stolen by Yue Ye, and was later taken away by the king of the Eastern Qing Dynasty when he infiltrated the Hou Mansion with the intention of assassination, and was left to Hualan Court before his death.

Ordinary people only know that the jade seal is a symbol of monarchy, but they don't know that this jade seal of Lantian white jade and tiger button that has been passed down for a long time and has gone through several dynasties can absorb the qi and hide the gods, and absorb the aura of heaven and earth and the feng shui of the imperial city and the qi of the Son of Heaven, which is a rare treasure for cultivating the truth.

Hua Lanting has not yet cultivated to the point of opening up the second vein of Ren Du here, but with the jade seal of the country, he can use the qi in it to forcibly rush through the pass to summon the heavenly thunder, and use it to assist in crossing the calamity, so as to break through the shackles of this heaven and earth.

As for the coordinates of the place from which he came, Mu Qitian said that if he returned in the form of a breakthrough, he would have his own sense of the boundary.

After the preparation, Hua Lanting thought in his heart: A spring and autumn dream in the world, and there is a time to return. The major events here have been decided, and it is not appropriate to be involved again. There is a place to come from in life, and there is a way to return from death. Why don't you go back!

Wu Ding and the others had dispersed far away, and the sky above the Dragon Cutting Ridge was suddenly overcast, overlapping and rolling, and thunder flashed......

A few days before and after Hualan Ting's crossing of the Xiaolei Tribulation, several battles took place in front of Xiyu Pass.

Daqi kept his agreement with the Heng Dynasty, and sent troops almost at the same time as the Heng Dynasty to engage in a fierce battle with the defenders of the King of Xitai.

When the war was stalemate, the five clans of the Hung Hung League rose from behind the Great Ambition to attack, and the Great Ambition suffered a great defeat from the enemy, and the remnants retreated to the barren land further west, and the territory of the Great Confusion was divided by the five tribes, forming a separatist trend.

The princess Dai Luosi has been missing since.

After many days, the Dust Dynasty, which had experienced a rebellion, initially returned to peace.

On this day, several holy decrees were issued, which were to the effect that:

Qingyuan Marquis Yueye colluded with the Heng Dynasty, treasoned and defected to the enemy, committed rebellion, and the crime was not punishable, so he cut off all the titles.

Because he has died, the grace of heaven is immense, and he will no longer pursue other things, and remember his past merits, and still bury him. Except for a few foreign and important accomplices, the rest of the rebels will not be implicated.

Pingnan camp capital Yue Jia, loyal to the country, brave and benevolent, refused to obey, righteous and annihilated, for the country's Pingnan victory and rebellion to save the merit, so that the shamed Qingyuan title can wash away the shame. Specially chased Yue Jia as the king of Qingyuan, Yi Wuyong, because of his death, his son attacked his king.

Yue Jia's younger brother Yue Jing, well aware of righteousness, martial arts, participated in the counterinsurgency, and led the crowd to kill hundreds of enemy chieftains, it was difficult to save the country, and the tide was about to fall.

The Yue brothers worked together to quell the rebellion, and made immortal contributions to the country and the people, and immediately changed the name of the year to Jiajing, in order to show their virtue and pass it on to future generations.

The true identity of the Yue clan was concealed in the holy decree, and the rewards were all honorable. However, considering the fact that the Yue family is the heir of the Zhao family of the Heng Dynasty, Emperor Qingyun's change of year name and other rewards are actually fair and generous.

In addition, Emperor Qingyun ordered to select people with good character and learning from the children of the clan to succeed him, inherit the title of king of the Eastern Qing Dynasty, extend his incense, and reward those related to the rebellion.

Another month later, Master Wunian of Yiwei Zen Temple entered Beijing to face the saint, saying that he was ordered by Yue Jing to return the old things.

Emperor Qingyun opened the yellow silk package, first read Hua Lanting's handwritten letter, and was overjoyed, and the inner layer was engraved with the jade seal of the country that was engraved with "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and prosperity".

A few months later, the king of Xitai established himself in the west, rebelling against the dusty dynasty.

At the end of the same year, Emperor Qingyun took Qiu Madu as his commander and gathered heavy troops to defeat the king of Xitai, who committed suicide in defeat and the dust dynasty regained its lost territory.

During the war, Fang Qingya, who married Lu Xiaocui and Min Yuemei, made outstanding achievements and was repeatedly promoted.

In the second year of Jiajing, the old emperor Wen Wei died, and after the fifth prince Hongshi succeeded to the throne, he exterminated the coastal Japanese invaders according to his words, and crossed the sea to the east, and raised troops to slaughter Dongying.

In the same year, Zhao Hanfei, the crown prince of the Heng Dynasty, died in an accident while fighting with the Kazakhs, and Emperor Zhao died of illness due to the failure of the attack and the loss of his son in old age, and Zhao Lingyu helped Zhao Hanfei's son to ascend the throne, because of his young age, Zhao Lingyu was the regent of the country.

The following year, the Heng Dynasty raised troops to the north to avenge its revenge, defeated the Kazakh rangers, and expanded its territory to the north for 200 miles.

In the fourth year of Jiajing, Emperor Qingyun ordered the Pingnan camp of the Dust Dynasty to pour out of the nest to attack the south, the Jing Dynasty was destroyed, and the south to the sea was included in the territory of the Dust Dynasty.

In the tenth year of Jiajing, the five tribes of the Western Regions were in a civil war, and the Dust Dynasty took Fang Qingya as the commander to attack and win a big victory, and the Western Regions were subjugated to the dust.

In the thirteenth year of Jiajing, Yue Jia's son, King Qingyuan, resigned and went into seclusion, went to the Western Regions to devote himself to the West Kunlun Cultivation, and the Qingyuan Yue clan never appeared in the dust dynasty again.

In the eighteenth year of Jiajing, a war broke out between the Dust Dynasty and Wen Hui, the war lasted for several years, and there were mutual victories and defeats, and finally the Dust Dynasty won with difficulty, occupying the eastern part of the mainland.

In the forty-first year of Jiajing, Emperor Qingyun ascended the throne.

Throughout his life, Emperor Qingyun complied with Hua Lanting's request in the letter wrapped in the jade seal, and never met with the soldiers of the Heng Dynasty.

In the following decades, there were constant border frictions between the two Koreas, and small-scale local wars occurred from time to time. Although the dust dynasty has the advantage of national strength and military strength, it has not been able to completely defeat the iron cavalry of the Heng Dynasty.

It was not until Zhao Lingyu, the eldest princess of the Heng Dynasty, who had never married for life, died at the age of 100 that the Dust Dynasty defeated the enemy and drove the Heng Dynasty to the extreme north.

At this point, the dust dynasty completed its hegemony and unified the eastern land.
