Devil’s Advent

In the previous life, when I watched various film and television literature works with ancient backgrounds, there was a sentence that was not used too much, so that every time Zheng Fan heard this sentence, he felt tired and flustered.

This sentence is: I hate that I was born in the emperor's family!

This sentence is generally yelled by female characters more, usually with a sad and helpless cry biting their lower lip, and it is usually used in plots where love and love cannot be autonomous.

It's as if if they weren't born in the emperor's family, they would have been able to bear the life of being born in a poor family, working in the fields early, not having enough food and clothing, and if there were younger brothers in the family, they would have to be exchanged for relatives.

But here with the sixth prince, Zheng Fan really understood the meaning of this sentence, or... the chill.

Many people have been to the Forbidden City in later generations. Some people still feel that it is magnificent and some people are disappointed after watching it. But no matter what kind of impression it is, when the palace is no longer the pinnacle of power center, it has actually faded a lot. Part of the halo.

The majesty and horror of imperial power, as well as the distortion and bloodyness it brings, often make people shudder directly once they are touched at close range.

"It seems that Marquis Jingnan appreciates you very much. You are doing well, kid."

"It's gold, it shines everywhere."

"Hey, I really miss your golden sentence."

"Next time I write a letter, I'll write to you a little bit."

"Are you really good at wholesale?"

"It's just a worthless thing."

The sixth prince brought up a roast duck from the fireplace, cut it open with a knife, and handed a duck leg to Zheng Fan, and took the other duck leg himself.

road:

"How does Qianguo feel? The adults here in the capital know about you. Hundreds of riders moved to Qianguo for hundreds of miles, and even broke Qianguo Mianzhou City, beheading all the guards and leaving.

Oh, to be honest, I have also imagined this kind of life. When I was a child, I also dreamed that I could have such an elegant demeanor. "

"That's the way it is. Except for the house repairs, the people of Gan country are doing well. The frontier army has long been decayed. Even the little ladies in the border areas of Qian country may not be as good as we Yan people. Water spirit."

In fact, Cui Liubao had already communicated with the sixth prince through letters for the specific details and process. After all, he is a big investor. If you invest in your business, you don't have to make a profit, but you have to make some noise;

In the words of Blind Beibei, whether you are bragging, doing PPT or talking about cross talk,

In short, investors have to be fooled into smiling and continue to be willing to invest money in it.

At this moment, the sixth prince asked Zheng Fan about going to work in the country, but he was just chatting casually, not holding a board meeting.

"Where did you go, girl from Qianguo, Xiahang is the most famous, and Xiahang is already in the south of Qianguo."

"In the future, if I have a chance, I will lead my troops to go to the south of Qianguo, and I will catch some women from Xiahang for you and come back to warm the kang."

"Yeah, that's so vulgar, it's embarrassing."

"Say it as if being a duck doesn't make you lose face."

"Is it embarrassing to make money by doing business and eating?"

"Will someone who robs with a knife lose face?"

"You seem to have some truth in what you say. Really, I find that you have always been very interesting to talk about. Although you have been gone for the past few months, your words will echo in orphaned ears from time to time. "

"..." Zheng Fan.

"Hehe, Hou Jingnan's return to Beijing this time is based on the imperial father's order. It is nominally for the empress's birthday, but because the old man of the Arita family is celebrating his birthday, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just an excuse."

"Well, look out."

"Currently, of the six towns of the Zhenbei Houfu, the Zhenbei Army, only two towns are left to stay in the desert. The remaining four towns have already garrisoned the border of Beifeng County, and the imperial army has also been mobilized. The situation is quite tense."

"Yeah, very nervous."

"Why don't you have any sense of urgency?"

"Don't you have one too?"

"Okay, let me remind you again. Many powerful families in the court objected to the father's continued intensification of conflicts and launched a war against the Northern Army. At first, they were frightened by the father's anger, so they didn't dare to make mistakes, and obediently Gather the private soldiers on their own land and gather in the capital.

Perhaps the original intention was to help the father to put on a show, to make a strong momentum, so that the Zhenbei Army would be afraid. In addition, Zhenbeihou himself is still in the capital, which is always a huge bargaining chip.

But it's not working now, something happened, and many people in these aristocratic families and my royal family began to panic. "

"What happened?"

"Young Master of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, it is said that he has appeared in the Hou Mansion."

"Young master?"

"Don't be surprised, don't say it's you, Gu has never seen him, and the lineage of Zhenbeihou has always had a poor heir.

Some people say that it was because the first Marquis of Zhenbei buried hundreds of thousands of troops in Yinlang County a hundred years ago, causing too many murders and receiving karmic debts; Cutting off children and grandchildren in the Beihou Mansion of Curse Town has achieved results.

This generation of Lord Zhenbei has only one son and one daughter. As for the woman, she is the princess, you have seen her before, and I guess she will be my sister-in-law in a short time, and then she will be the princess.

As for the son, it is said that he was born with extremely weak health, often fell ill, and almost died young.

However, when he grew up a little, he was sent by the Hou Mansion to train in the Zhenbei Army. It has been almost ten years now. Except for the Hou Ye himself, no one knows which town the little Hou Ye is in. What kind of soldier, what is his current official position, Paoze and Shangfeng beside him don't know his identity.

The Secret Service of the imperial court and the spies of various families have spent a lot of money to find this young master over the years, but they have not been successful. "

"Hiding one person among 300,000 people is really looking for a needle in a haystack."

"A few years ago, there were even rumors that the young master of Zhenbeihou's family had died, possibly from a disease, or from a conflict with the barbarians.

This means that the Zhenbei Hou Mansion will cut off the incense.

In addition, my sister-in-law of the princess has obviously started to take care of things in the past few years, which can't help but deepen the speculation that the young master is dead. Without a man in the family, we can only rely on women to support the sky. "

"So, this time, it was the young master who came out?"

"It's not announced publicly, but the eyeliners of each family in the Zhenbeihou Mansion have received the news that the young master has indeed appeared.

You know, what does that mean? "

"It means that the 300,000 Zhenbei army has a young master, and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion has an heir."

"Yeah, just like the crown prince is the foundation of the country, no matter how big the foundation is, if there is no heir, people's hearts will not be able to gather together, because if you follow you, there may be no future, and everyone will be confused.

Originally, the nobles of the aristocratic family thought that the Marquis of Zhenbei himself was still in the capital, and no matter how much the Zhenbei Army made a fuss, it was just a posturing. Now, they were completely panicked.

The little Hou Ye appeared, no matter whether the Zhenbei Hou himself was alive or dead in the capital, the 300,000 Zhenbei Army would have a target to continue to follow. It's not impossible to become the throne, don't you think?

I don't know how excited those Qiu Ba are, but this is... Conglong, no, it is the founding meritorious service. "

"So, how will those aristocratic families deal with it?"

"The prince."

The sixth prince bit out these two words.

According to the Great Yan ancestor system, titles with different surnames are capped at the top of the marquis, and non-princes are not allowed to be crowned kings.

"The gatekeepers are really scared. They are afraid that the two sides will fight. At that time, the entire Yan Kingdom will be reduced to a battlefield. They themselves have no choice but to take sides. They don't want to bet, and they dare not bet. To maintain the stability of the situation, That’s what they most want to see.”

"This king, won't there be only one king?"

"Didn't I tell you in the letter that the Jin Kingdom and the Qian Kingdom are already arguing that the Marquis of Jingnan is the King of Jingnan? Do you think it's groundless?"

"It turns out that flies don't bite seamless eggs."

"Tsk, another golden sentence, isn't it too cheap?"

"polite."

"The meaning of the great clans is to ask my father to grant Zhenbei Hou the title of Zhenbei King, and continue to guard the northern border for my Dayan. At the same time, for the sake of balance, seal Jingnanhou as the Jingnan King to guard the southern border.

At the same time, add another hereditary replacement to King Jingnan. "

In the past, "Marquis of Jingnan" sounded like a noble title, but in fact it was more like an official position, replacing the Jingnan Army in charge of the southern border of Emperor Yan. With his status, he can start a government and build a government office.

"Is there any contribution from the Tian family?"

"Although the Tian family is not the most powerful of the four big clans in my Dayan, they are also the best after the four big clans, and they themselves belong to the list of the big clans, what do you think?

Moreover, the hereditary Wang Jue, it is true that the Tian family is now a foreign relative, but the respect of the foreign relative is destined to not last long, at most it will last for a few more years after my second brother succeeds to the throne, but when my second brother's child What about after succession?

A prince, a hereditary prince, to be honest, if I were the old man of the Tian family, I wouldn't be able to bear it. "

"In this way, the country is equivalent to being divided."

"You look at things from a far-sighted perspective."

The Kingdom of Yan has the most powerful iron cavalry among the four eastern kingdoms. For a hundred years, it has used the power of a country to suppress the barbarians in the desert. However, because of domestic political reasons, the Emperor Yan was unable to launch a unification war against Gan or Jin in the south. .

And once the north and the south are crowned with another king, the imperial power will undoubtedly be further weakened. The contemporary Emperor Yan has been cutting the feudal clan since he succeeded to the throne, but in the end, he went back more and more.

"How is your father feeling recently?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Let's tell the truth first."

"Very angry, more than a dozen eunuchs and court ladies who made mistakes have been shot in succession in the imperial study room, and it has been ten days since the imperial eunuchs. These nights, they have been sleeping with a few beauties whom they have never met before."

The beauty here refers to the official position in the harem.

"So, what about lies?"

"It's my family's story to tell a lie. Those beauties were dedicated to the palace a few years ago. It is said that the Qianhuang has three daughters from the Yang family. How can my Emperor Dayan fall behind?"

"A girl from Xiahang?"

"It's the girl from Xiahang."

"Go ahead and listen to what your family has to say."

"I actually think that my father, working so hard these days, wants to get me a few brothers and sisters who are half-blooded.

Hehe, what the family said is a lie. "

words fall,

The Sixth Prince and Zheng Fan looked at each other,

Everyone smiled,

hey-hey……

"The Tian family has a manor outside the capital, which is extravagant. It is said that half a year ago, the emperor promised the empress to return to the manor to visit his relatives after his birthday. The Tian family deliberately pushed down the old house and rebuilt a family visit garden.

There are mountains and waters inside, pavilions, terraces and pavilions. Even in winter, the grass grows and the warblers fly. It is not inferior to the West Garden that was originally built with the help of the people of Qianguo, where Zhenbei Hou is now living.

If you follow Jingnanhou, you will definitely be able to go in and watch it. To be honest, Gu is quite envious of you. "

"You want to see if they can let you in?"

"Heh, I'm asking for the scenery I'm looking at, it's a fart of elegance."

"However, half a year ago..."

"That's right, according to the outside world, this newly built manor mansion is to welcome the queen's relatives, but just before the start of construction, it happened that Zhenbeihou was recalled to Beijing by several imperial edicts."

"Really."

"So, the Tian family said that what he built was the provincial court for the empress, and that is the provincial court. They can't say that they knew this day would come, so they repaired the Jingnan Palace in advance, right?"

"It feels like this group of people are all old foxes."

"Patriarch, none of them are stupid, but the smarter they are, the more unfavorable they are to my Yan." The voice of the sixth prince carried a little resentment.

Apparently, the ass decides the head.

His father abused him thousands of times, but his surname is Ji after all, and the blood of the Dayan royal family runs through his body.

That is to say, in front of Zheng Fan, he can freely show his true emotions, but in front of other people, he is just an idle prince who eats and waits to die to earn a little money.

Zheng Fan nodded and said:

"Yeah, right now Jin is in conflict, the three major clans are vying for power and threatening the royal family; Qian is rotten and depraved, and it no longer has the heart to make progress, and it seems that it has no strength to make progress; Chu is like closing its doors. The sleeping lion, although vast in size, is covered in lice. The barbarian royal court is already in the most decadent state in history."

The sixth prince took a deep breath, nodded and said:

"That's right, people can't be without foresight. Right now, my Dayan relies on these possessions and these iron cavalry to keep the barbarians and the other three kingdoms from making mistakes.

But if the barbarian royal court rises again, when Qianguo has an iron-fisted prime minister, it will suddenly start to rejuvenate, when the internal strife in Jin is over, and when Chu country suddenly appears a hero.

Then where will I, Dayan, be placed? "

"Don't get excited, don't get excited." Zheng Fan patted the Sixth Prince's shoulder and said, "That's why I chose to assist you, because you have the world in mind, and because you can see the long-term."

The sixth prince sniffed, as if he wanted to try his best to look very moved.

However, he failed. In the end, he gave up on himself and said:

"Fake."

"The truth hurts too much."

"Then stop talking, stop."

"But I can't hide anything from you."

"Shut up."

"It's only you, a down and out prince who has done so poorly, that you can see me, a former miscellaneous school lieutenant. If it's any other prince with real power, no one cares about me."

"Bitch!"

…………

"Have you finished talking?"

When Zheng Fan came back, the Marquis of Jingnan happened to be wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.

"It's over, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'll talk a little more."

"Ah."

Jingnanhou stood up and went downstairs.

Zheng Fan naturally followed behind.

When Jingnanhou walked downstairs, the guards were already at the entrance of the Quandelou Roast Duck Restaurant.

Jingnanhou's extremely high-blooded beast was dozing there, as if sensing Jingnanhou's breath, it opened its eyes and stood up slowly.

Jingnanhou stood by the threshold, not in a hurry to go out, but suddenly asked:

"Say, next, where should we go?"

"Hou Ye has the world in his heart, and he dare not make wild guesses in his humble position."

"Okay, then let's go to Wei Zhonghe."

"Master Hou, I think Master Hou is going to enter the palace to face the saint."

Jingnan Hou shook his head and said:

"Miansheng, don't be in a hurry. Your Majesty only ordered Benhou to return to the capital, but did not order Benhou to enter the palace."

This means guessing wrong.

"Then Lord Hou is going home next time? I heard that Master just celebrated his birthday."

"Father's big birthday, Benhou, has already been missed. If you go back sooner or later, you will miss it."

Does this mean you guessed wrong again?

Zheng Fan was silent.

If you don't enter the palace and don't go home, where else can you go?

Go to a nunnery to find your lover who has been waiting for you for a long time? The good friend is Du Juan's sister?

I can fucking guess the flower for you, but I dare not say it.

The notebook, it sounds like someone can't draw.

"Keep guessing."

"Master Hou, I really can't figure out the humble position."

Jingnan Hou turned his head, looked at Zheng Fan, and suddenly raised his voice, asking:

"Zheng Shoubei."

"The end is here!"

Zheng Fan immediately knelt down on one knee.

"Do you know why this Marquis specially brought you to Beijing?"

"The end will be dull, the end will not know."

Zheng Fan knew that this was a question and answer on a formal occasion. Jingnanhou returned to Beijing, and it was still such a tense moment, and all forces must be watching here.

Any sign of trouble here will be passed on immediately.

This loud question and answer at the door,

It is a bit similar to the ancient emperor's daily notes or the formal style of the monarch and his ministers.

When the ancient emperors generally made such requests, the monarchs and ministers would immediately sit upright and ask questions seriously, because they knew that what they said next would be recorded in the daily notes and imported into the history books. Today's play is right.

"Zheng Shoubei, although you are not from the Jingnan Army, but this Marquis asks you, you are my soldier!"

"Returning to Master Hou, if Master Hou had not led the army to rescue him that day, the general would have died in the army of thieves, and Master Hou had the grace to save the general.

The last general is Lord Hou's soldier! "

These words are a bit shameless, and they are very taboo.

Because the content of the words has already violated some kind of political correctness. For example, before doing anything in ancient times, civil servants and military generals would shout that this is His Majesty’s world, and I am His Majesty’s subjects. Everything in front of things has to be named in the name of the people.

The Marquis of Jingnan actually asked a local fortress in Yan State if his soldiers were the guards. It is estimated that the imperial censor will write a letter to impeach this matter tomorrow.

But since the Marquis of Jingnan asked this question, Zheng Fan just answered it like that.

"Okay, the Marquis of Zhenbei once said in the desert that any barbarian tribe who dares to harass the people of Beifeng County will be wiped out by the Zhenbei army's iron cavalry!

I, Tian Wujing, I, Marquis of Jingnan, I, Jingnan Army,

Self-confessed that he really did not have the feats of suppressing the barbarians in the desert for a hundred years like the Zhenbeihou Mansion,

but one thing,

Ben Hou can still put down a word,

That is,

Those who dare to murder the soldiers under the Marquis' command behind their backs without reason,

Ben Hou, and all the officers and men of the Jingnan Army,

He must be killed! "

As soon as Jingnanhou finished speaking,

Hundreds of Jingnan Army soldiers and their personal guards on the street raised their weapons and shouted repeatedly:

"Tiger!"

"Tiger!"

"Tiger!"

Jingnanhou walked up to his Pi Beast and turned over.

The brave beast straightened its four hooves, and breathed out a scorching white mist.

Jingnanhou looked at Zheng Fan who was still kneeling there,

Opened the mouth and said:

"Do you know where Benhou is going next?"

Zheng Fan, who was kneeling on the ground, was a little dazed.

Marquis Jingnan raised the whip in his hand, Pi Beast raised its front hooves and stomped violently, the green bricks under its feet shattered.

"Jingnan Army, take this order from the Marquis!"

"Shua! Shua!"

All the soldiers knelt down on one knee, with an awe-inspiring look!

Hou Jingnan's face sank like water, and he said:

"revenge!"
