Devil’s Advent

The alliance between Yunchi and Chu is the biggest event in the recent past.

There is a saying in Qianguo that,

The emperor of Chu, with tears running down his cheeks, walked on his knees in front of the officials,

Crying that the Yan dog has no morals, is cruel to the country, and poisons the common people, begging the officials to help Chu fight Yan.

The officials solemnly helped Emperor Chu up,

road:

I think back then, when the four princes opened the frontier, they made contributions in Xia, and the country was here, which was bestowed by the destiny;

Now, the Yan thief has no virtue, and he is attacking the country of brothers.

Dagan should form a fraternal alliance with Chu, punish the violent Yan, help the Qingming of Zhuxia, and find peace and shelter for the people of Zhuxia.

In Chu State, there is a saying that,

His own Emperor Chu sits on the throne,

Emperor Qian ran over in a panic, begging the state of Chu to support him and continue to resist the state of Yan, and he also cited a lot of examples of death.

The officials of the Qian State also compared the State of Qian to the concubine Ji, saying that if there was no support from the State of Chu to block the pressure from the State of Yan, then the State of Qian would have ceased to exist.

The breadth of news dissemination has always been not in its authenticity, but in whether the audience likes and is keen to hear the news.

The confidence of the Chu people lies in that although they were defeated again and again, they were always defeated. After the defeat, the Yan people had to retreat;

The confidence of the Qian Kingdom lies in that they have not lost their land to Yan, and that the south of the Yangtze River is vast and rich in resources. Now that the officials are working hard and the people are in charge of the dynasty, the rise of the Great Qian is not far away.

But no matter how much it is passed on, no matter how it is modified, it cannot change the fact:

That is, in the face of the ever-expanding pressure of Yan State,

The two countries of Gan and Chu had to let go of their so-called pride and reserve, and chose to hold together to keep warm.

The Yan people have already won the hemp,

After hearing the news of the Ganchu League, he almost didn't care.

The vast majority of Yan people are still naive. They think that the Pingxi Hou Mansion in the east of Jin, oh no, the current Prince Pingxi alone is enough to suppress Chu;

Wouldn't it be easy to handle the rest?

Whether it's raining or windy,

day,

have to go on;

It's all over anyway, so I have to find some good hope for myself, good hope isn't it.

...

Emperor Chu's Luanjia entered Chenjun, and the Chen family of Chenjun received them according to the etiquette requirements, without exceeding the slightest.

When the Patriarch of the Chen family, together with the elders of the family and the talented children, greeted the Emperor of Chu in Luanjia,

Emperor Chu himself, wearing a blue gown, appeared in Meng Shou's house.

Beside him, there are only two people, one is a sword maker, and the other is a handsome young man.

The sword maker was even more sloppy than before. He didn't go back to attend Dugu Mu's funeral, the head was not there, and he couldn't bury the whole body. He didn't want to go.

That handsome young man has fair skin, red lips and white teeth, and every frown and smile reveals an alluring posture.

Men, too, can be beautiful.

At this time, it was raining lightly;

The swordmaker bathed in the rain alone, while the young man held the umbrella for the emperor of Chu.

After entering the courtyard,

The swordmaker sat alone under the threshold, leaning against the door panel, sipping the dry tea brought by the boy, and looking out of the eaves, it seemed to be a curtain of rain that was like pen and ink.

The Emperor Chu and Meng Shou were sitting opposite each other. Meng Shou was cooking tea very seriously, and his movements were slow, but the Emperor Chu did not stop or help.

The young man was sitting upright, with a slight smile on his lips, but he looked very solemn.

"I, I regret it a little."

Emperor Chu was the first to open the chatterbox.

Meng Shou shook his head and said:

"Chen, I don't believe His Majesty will regret it."

"Oh? I can't even tell if I regret it or not?"

"The former emperor of the Yan State has summoned his ministers several times to inquire about the revision of history. After returning to the country, the minister saw the shadow of the former emperor of the Yan State in you, Your Majesty."

"This is interesting. We all know that Nian Yao's slave respects King Jingnan of the Yan Kingdom, and now I have to add my reverence to the former emperor of the Yan Kingdom.

Monarchs and ministers all respect each other's monarchs and ministers, and I have found the reason why Da Chu ended up like this. "

"Blue comes from blue and is better than blue." Meng Shou brought the tea cup to the Emperor Chu, picked up another cup, and handed it to the handsome young man.

"In matters of state, if you fall behind by one step, you will fall behind step by step; I often introspect myself, but I get nothing.

In the court, many people thought that I was too hasty in cutting the nobles' fiefdoms and cutting the powers and responsibilities of the nobles, and the fact that I was hollow in the Great Chu gave the Yan people an opportunity to take advantage of it.

However, I have never thought this way, the strategy I have taken is to continue the life of the Great Chu, otherwise, the collapse of the Great Chu will be nothing more than a matter of time.

Qu Tiannan was trapped in Yupan City to death, and I was busy exchanging interests with the great nobles of Chu in exchange for their support and stabilizing the situation. The imperial guards still needed to suppress the country and could not be dispatched, which made Qu Tiannan enter Jin alone;

In my position, in that situation, it would be very difficult for someone to do better than me. "

After all, the Emperor Chu at that time was just the prince who emerged in the chaos of the princes. What he wanted to defeat was not his brothers, but the great nobles standing behind each of them.

At that time, all the political forces in the country were unified to achieve a situation where one could rule the country. At the same time, Qu Tiannan, who was one of the four nobles and one of the Zhu kingdoms, led the army into Jin and became the king of Chu when Jin collapsed. bite off a piece of meat first;

He has done well enough.

"The people of Yan conquered Chu with all their power, and almost all of my imperial guards were handed over to Nian Yao, who set up iron barrels in front of Zhennan Pass.

I have handed over the power, and let the nobles of Chu Chu try their best to contribute their private soldiers, food, grass and various weapons;

But who would have thought that Yan people could walk by water?

Who would have thought that the Qingluan army led by Qu Peiluo would be defeated in a single battle on the green beach!

I am the emperor, not a general who rushes to kill on the battlefield. I have already done the best that an emperor can do.

I have tried my best, but I, but Chu, have been losing.

I don't know the battle report of the first battle in Fancheng, have you seen it, I saw it, and almost laughed out loud after reading it.

Nian Yao made the decision without authorization, and sent a surprise soldier to enter Mengshan through Jindi, hoping to go down to Fancheng in a single battle;

Dugu Mu sent the Dugu family's private soldiers to attack Fancheng from the south.

But who ever thought,

The young master of the Qu family, the lost dog who was defeated by Zheng Fan like a grass pig in the battle of Qingtan in the past, has stood firm in Fancheng for so long;

What's even more ridiculous is that the man surnamed Zheng mobilized all his elite troops out of Zhennanguan and down to Shanggu County, all the way to Fancheng. "

Chu Huang picked up the teacup, drank it down in one gulp, and didn't drink any more.

Meng Shou nodded and said with emotion:

"A person's life is like flipping through a history book. At first, he sees the freshness at the beginning. After reading it repeatedly, he gradually understands what loneliness and frustration are, and what is impermanence in the world."

"I am the emperor."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The people below can admit defeat, but the emperor alone cannot admit defeat."

"What His Majesty said is true."

Emperor Chu closed his eyes.

At this time, the handsome young man got up and saluted Meng Shou;

"Xie Yu'an, boy of the Xie family, has met Mr. Meng."

"But that thousand-mile horse from the Xie family?"

"Don't dare, kid, I'm ashamed."

Chu Huang opened his eyes,

road:

"I am determined to send my father Xie Zhuyang, the last pillar of Great Chu, to the north to take over Nian Yao's previous position and to take charge of the imperial guards along the Wei River!"

"Your Majesty, Shengming."

"I just don't believe in evil."

Emperor Chu pointed to Xie Yu'an and said:

"The people of Yan call them Marquis of Pingxi, and if one person defeats the third of the four great pillar kingdoms of my Great Chu, then I will also send the last pillar kingdom there.

If he is capable, I will give him a gift;

If he is impatient, it depends on whether my Xie Jiazhu Kingdom can hold the situation for me!

You say that a person's life is like flipping through a history book,

But in my opinion,

The glorious history, the rise and fall of dynasties, in fact, only wrote two words.

Destiny! "

Meng Shou nodded and said, "I don't know whether I should congratulate Your Majesty or advise His Majesty."

Chu Huang raised his hand and said, "You just need to speak your mind."

"I think, what is the difference between betting on your own fate and being a gambler in a gambling shop?"

"Master Meng, you are wrong." Xie Yu'an spoke first.

"Oh?" Meng Shou looked at Xie Yu'an, this young man who was so handsome that he was almost eerie.

Xie Yu'an cupped his hands;

"Lord Meng, what His Majesty is betting on is not His Majesty himself, but the fate of Great Chu!"

...

Today's Fengxin City is extremely lively.

Outside the west gate, almost all the people in the city rushed out, because the imperial court's imperial envoys had finally arrived.

The people in Fengxin City are not very interested in the imperial court's imperial envoy and the so-called imperial decree itself, but they know that the purpose of the imperial envoy's visit this time is to confer...

Livelihood, honor, and even future generations are all on the prince alone. The soldiers and civilians of Xincheng may be more excited about their prince's continuous upward progress than the prince himself.

Coupled with the fact that the two wives are pregnant, this sense of steadfastness is really hard to describe in words.

The imperial envoy came very slowly this time,

It is estimated that Eunuch Huang has already returned to Yanjing City to face the saint at this moment, and they have only arrived in Fengxin City.

But things can’t be compared this way. Firstly, Eunuch Huang has been tempered. Secondly, the imperial envoy team is too large. He made up his mind to give the new king surnamed Zheng a big show. scribbled.

The imperial envoy is an old acquaintance, and Mao Mingcai, the prefect of Qianyingdu.

After Mao Mingcai left Yingdu and returned to Beijing, he had been idle for a period of time, and then transferred to Sanshi County as the prefect for a period of time. After the former emperor passed away and the new king succeeded him, he was recalled to the court to serve as the prime minister.

The deputy envoy of the imperial envoy is Ji Chengwen, the former fifth prince and the current minister of the Ministry of Industry.

The emperor's prime minister and the emperor's brothers presided over the ceremony as envoys, and the honor is extremely deep.

When the imperial envoy team is about to enter Fengxin City,

Teams of cavalry drove out in neat formations, and the people around them all separated in order and got out of the way.

Mao Ming, who was sitting on the beast, saw this scene, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

Although he had been neighbors with the former Marquis Zheng for a long time, he had never actually visited Pingxihou in person.

see you today

It is indeed shocking.

It wasn't the knights who had participated in the battle of entering Chu and still had the smell of blood on their bodies, but these ordinary people who knew order spontaneously.

Mao Mingcai was a figure who had been a parent of one place and an official of the frontier. Such a common people symbolizes the absolute control of the upper class over the lower class, and also means the absolute echo of the lower class to the upper class.

Applied is,

Whenever there is a need for war,

These common people, as auxiliary soldiers, civilian husbands, on-site production, etc., can immediately make very clear arrangements and mobilization.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

The desolate trumpet sounded,

immediately,

The row of military drums on the city wall began to beat!

All the generals under the command of the Pingxihou Mansion in Eastern Jin, except Gou Moli, who was still guarding Fancheng in Chu, all returned to participate in the ceremony of conferring the king.

The Juggernaut held his young son and his wife, and stood among the crowd.

As for the Juggernaut's mother-in-law, because she has an "official status", she is leading a group of women and aunts on the official road in Fengxin City, doing the final cleaning and laying out.

All the general soldiers under the command of the Hou Mansion, together with their own troops, have already cleaned up and lined up.

The soldiers and horses responsible for the garrison of Fengxin City were also arranged around, and the person in charge was Qu Peiluo.

Everything is ready, it's just a matter of the master.

…

"My lord, everyone outside the city is waiting."

"Anyway, it's not too late."

Zheng Fan reached out and hugged Siniang.

Siniang kept her hands on her hands, and the gang leader tied the last knots on the Xuanjia.

After that, he gently stretched out his hand to push the master away, and looked at it for himself, and was quite satisfied.

Prince Pingxi, who was wearing Xuanjia, laughed;

"The most exciting thing was the time when I was awarded the uncle in Xuehaiguan. The subsequent titles and the current titles seem to be going through the process, and I don't feel much."

"My lord, good Versailles."

"hehe."

"My lord."

At this time, the princess in a fancy dress was already waiting outside. Her belly was much bigger than Siniang's.

But today's occasion, as a prince's woman, can be present.

"My lord, let's go with sister Liqing." Si Niang said.

Zheng Fan smiled,

Xiong Liqing walked in, and behind him, several maidservants came in with fancy dresses.

"Si Niang, you can change it too."

Si Niang looked at Zheng Fan, and said: "My lord knows that this slave family doesn't like the excitement, so my master doesn't have to worry that my slave family will be jealous of this."

"I like this kind of excitement." Zheng Fan said.

Si Niang looked at Xiong Liqing.

Xiong Liqing smiled slightly.

"We are now crowned king. There are not many people who need to care about or be afraid of. We should hurry up and do what we want. This dress was made by Liqing in private. It must be without your needlework." The work is good, but if you weave this kind of costume by yourself, you will lose some expectation and meaning.

Be good, be obedient, put on.

You promised me that you will be the master on the bed, and I will be the master under the bed. "

The prince and the eldest lady said these couple's words like no one else, but none of the maidservants around dared to laugh. The maidservants in the mansion were all trained by Si Niang and knew the rules.

It's the princess, and her expression doesn't change much. They often exchange some experiences with each other.

"Okay, then the servant will put it on."

Zheng Fan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Come, serve the lonely princess to change clothes."

"Yes, my lord."

"Yes, my lord."

This is the first time that Zheng Fan changed his name and called himself lonely. Others thought it was nothing, as it should be.

But Zheng Fan felt very interesting in his heart. When the princess helped Si Niang change her clothes, he walked out first.

"solitary."

"solitary."

"solitary."

Zheng Fan, who was intoxicated by this kind of self-proclaiming, realized that Tiantian and the prince were walking over not far away, holding hands.

The two children were very curious, not knowing what their "godfather" was learning.

Prince Pingxi's face was neither red nor his heart beat,

continue;

"Cuckoo, the song sings to the sky, the white hair floats in the green water, and the red palm touches the clear waves.

This is a song about the goose that the king just made, do you remember it? "

"Yes, my child remembers."

"The child also remembers."

The crown prince scratched his head and said, "Yong Goose, is that what the goose is called?"

Tiantian explained: "The goose choked on the water, so it cuckooed."

"Yeah, brother is amazing."

"hey-hey."

Zheng Fan walked in front of the two children. Today, the crown prince was crowned king, and the prince was wearing a four-clawed golden dragon robe, which was really dignified.

Tian Tian is dressed in brocade robes, still cute and chubby like a Fuwa.

I beat him last time, but after a few days, Zheng Fan went to eat breakfast as usual, and peeled salted duck eggs for himself every day as usual.

The child did not quarrel with him, did not complain about his grievances, and did not ask for an apology;

This made Zheng Fan sometimes feel that he was a failure as a father.

The child is so sensible, but he still wants to save face.

Maybe it's because the child is too sensible. If the child is a little more ordinary, maybe I can relax a little more. It's a pity that it's not easy to say this kind of thing to outsiders. Others will just think you are showing off on purpose.

"Congratulations to Uncle Zheng for being crowned king."

The prince took half a step back and saluted seriously.

It's the same every day, saluting earnestly:

"Congratulations to Daddy for becoming king!"

Zheng Fan pointed at Tiantian and said:

"The prince is wearing formal clothes, why aren't you wearing them?"

"I?"

Tian Tian was a little puzzled, did he also have formal clothes?

"Come on."

"The subordinates are here."

Xiao Yibo walked over with several maidservants, each holding a tray in their hands, on which were hats, clothes, boots and ornaments.

"Your aunt embroidered this for you."

Tian Tian blinked.

Xiao Yibo stepped forward and said, "Little master, go down with your subordinates and change clothes."

Children, it is faster to change clothes, unlike women who have to make a bun.

Soon, Tian Tian came out after changing into a boa robe and prince's clothes. This python robe didn't look very heroic, but it gave people a very cute feeling.

Zheng Fan squatted down and helped Tiantian tidy up the collar of his collar which had been tidied well and was a little messed up after he tidied it up.

Tian Tian smiled and said:

"Thank you dad for the clothes, thank you aunt for your hard work."

Zheng Fan shook his head,

road;

"This is the clothes your own father earned for you."

Zheng Fan said,

hug Tiantian

Little guy, it's getting heavier and heavier.

"Father is crowned king today, you will attend the grand ceremony with your father."

Everyone in the world knows that Prince Jingnan's son was raised in Pingxihou's mansion. This is an almost open secret.

And today,

King Pingxi intends to tear up this secret completely.

In the past, this was a kind of tacit understanding. Under this kind of tacit understanding, children are the safest, and they only need to block back arrows.

Now,

Ming gun, don't be afraid.

Lao Tian,

I'm crowned king

Your son,

There is no need to hide it anymore.

King Pingxi, holding Tiantian in his arms, even pointed to the prince Ji Chuanye standing there with great interest,

asked with a smile;

"Tiantian, do you like the color of my brother's clothes?"

The prince was taken aback when he heard this.

Tian Tian shook his head,

road:

"I'm fatter than my younger brother every day, so I can't fit in it."
