Devil’s Advent

At the fingertips, the last bit of the fishy fragrance of spring's tail, which seemed to be stained with green grass juice, finally dissipated, and Xia Ri, who pretended to be harmless to humans and animals, came with a seemingly ignorant and honest look.

Then, after half a year of accumulation, rainy seasons continued one after another.

Even the literati in Qianguo lost the interest in playing with the spring rain in the face of this continuous rain "whipping". The broken bead curtain is something that can really be done now;

If you feel depressed,

You can take a long-term view. Under the rain, there are still people crawling and rolling in the mud.

...

Liang Guoguo Prime Minister Park Ji fell ill last winter, and his condition was very serious at that time. Many people thought that he might not survive the last winter;

Old age, serious illness, any one taken out alone is a hurdle for winter.

In the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, only winter can be preceded by the word "pass".

But in the end, Lao Guoxiang survived. After all, the sad winter is for ordinary Qianshou, and Lao Guoxiang survived by relying on various tonics.

But the bones of this body are really not strong anymore, and I can only be carried out by my family to bask in the sun from time to time when the weather clears up for a short time, so as to dispel the "musty smell" that can't be smelled by the nose but can be clearly seen by the naked eye. ".

People take tea to cool, this is the eternal truth;

After the old Prime Minister fell ill, the forces that originally represented the political pole of the Liang State began to quickly show the momentum of falling trees and dispersing monkeys.

Back then, it was the coup d'état launched by the old prime minister and the new lord, who overthrew the former lord and ordered the former lord to hang himself. Later, war broke out between Liang and Chu. With the help of the Yan people, the little Liang Guo carried it down.

And because of the subsequent battle between Yan and Chu, the Chu people were defeated, making the Chu people unable to take care of this little neighbor across the Qishan Mountains from the west.

As a result, Liang State completely fell to Yan State and became a veritable subsidiary state of Yan State. The Lord of Liang State had three sons, the second son was the eldest son, and this legitimate son had been sent to Yanjing as a proton.

To overthrow the former ruler with Xiong's blood, and then to block the liquidation of the Chu people, regardless of whether there is any help and contribution from the Yan people, and ordinary people and even ordinary Liang officials will not analyze and think about what big country game situation;

In short, in the past few years, it can be said that the old Prime Minister and the Lord have established a very high prestige in the country of Liang in a real sense.

However, as the old prime minister fell ill, the former ally, the current ruler of Liang country, did not hesitate to start to disintegrate the old prime minister's lineage.

In winter, I was just watching and letting the wind go;

In spring, it starts to grow like a new bud on the ground, and gradually scratches out;

Now, it's summer, and every move is like rain after rain, and the momentum is so huge... It makes people feel a little numb.

In this regard, Lao Guoxiang was able to deal with it calmly and did not make any resistance. First, resistance is useless. My own faction collapsed first because of the health problems of the leader. Besides, my sons don't have the ability to support the situation. In this situation, if I bear it quietly, I can still leave a face for my family. If the faction disbands, let it disband, and my children and grandchildren can still be preserved and treated with courtesy. ;

Secondly, the old Prime Minister originally wanted to ease the relationship with Chu State the year before last. As a small country, he has long sleeves and good dance skills, and carefully doing so is the real way for a small country to survive;

For this reason, in the eyes of the people of Yan, the old Prime Minister inevitably had some "does not know what is good or bad".

The new lord killed his elder brother to take over the throne, and he had an unresolvable hatred with the state of Chu, so he decided to fall firmly to the state of Yan early on. As the lord, his interests and future are actually related to his subjects, even Sometimes it is different from Liang Guo.

Moreover, Master Ran, the newly-appointed commander of Nanmen Pass of Yan State, was eager to reach out to enter the southern countries. Because he represented the will of Yan State, he quickly stood with the lord of the country.

With the support of the people of Yan, it is almost inevitable that the new ruler kicks off the old prime minister and completes the "arbitrary decision" in Liang's country. In other words, as long as the head of any country is still normal, it is necessary It will instinctively tighten the power that it should have in name.

"Father."

Today is another day of sunshine.

The old prime minister was carried to the courtyard by his youngest son and his servants.

"General Pu was ordered to return home for embezzling military pay."

Lao Guo was indifferent to this news, even though General Pu was the last general with real power in their lineage.

The soldiers and horses of Liang State are not too many. Before the quarrel with Chu State, there were less than 20,000 regular troops in the whole country. After holding Chu State with the help of Yan people, Liang State expanded its crops to a certain extent. The main army has an establishment of 40,000.

The lord of the country seems to want to continue to train the new army, because that General Ran wants to unite Liang, Zhao, Qi, Wei and other countries south of the south gate to form an alliance of many small countries , in name, Liang Guoguo is the leader of the alliance;

Of course, the real leader of the alliance is naturally Yan Guo.

Seeing that the father did not respond, the youngest son spoke again;

"Father, my son is worried, the king is going to attack my Pu family."

When the old country minister heard the words, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's not that he can't speak, he is seriously ill, but his brain is still clear, and his articulation is also considered clear, but he is really too lazy to waste any words with his son.

It really doesn't make any sense.

People, you can't be too smart. If you are too smart, you will look at your own sons, and you will always feel that they are so stupid that they are in a mess, and you will wonder, is this your own?

"My father often feels this way too, but he is the opposite of you."

A crisp voice sounded, as if it had seen through his mind.

Lao Guoxiang followed the sound and looked over, and found that at some time, there was a handsome young man standing behind him, and beside the young man was a maidservant.

Lao Guoxiang is not a master, and his health is not good now, so it is not surprising that someone came behind him quietly.

Xie Yu'an stepped forward, sat down on the chair beside Old Guoxiang, took out an orange, and began to peel it slowly.

The youngest son Pu Cheng immediately reported:

"Father, this is the young master of Da Chuxie's family."

"seek death……"

The old country minister spit out these two words.

Pu Cheng showed embarrassment on his face.

Xie Yu'an said with a smile: "Perhaps, in your opinion, Mr. Pu, it is safest for the Pu family to do nothing now. At the very least, it can preserve the wealth of the Pu family. After all, the leader of Liang Guo can sit on that The position also depends on you, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face.

But Mr. Pu seems to have forgotten one thing, you are not alone, even, you are not a simple Pu family, you can put it down because you still have face;

Well, I also think that your choice is wise, after all, I have been in touch with your sons, they are really stupid;

This is so stupid, just like when I look at my father, sometimes I always wonder if my mother put a hat on my father, otherwise how could he have given birth to such a smart son like me? "

"..." Pu Cheng.

There was a smile on the old country's face.

"Actually, I was not invited by your son. If you don't speak, it's just a waste of time to find your son;

yes,

Now the people of Yan are powerful, and my Great Chu has just been in that Pingxihou... oh no, now he has been officially crowned king, and Da Chu has just suffered a defeat.

But this is the same as when the sky is about to rain. If there is no rain, there will be drought, which is a drought; if there is too much rain, there will be waterlogging, which is a flood;

But the problem is that there are always a group of people in this world who don't depend on the sky for their food, so naturally they don't need to care about the day, whether it will rain or how much it will rain.

You can think that they are short-sighted, but among all living beings, who didn't come here like this? "

At this time,

A general in armor came in. He was a tall man, and standing there, he had the aura of an iron tower.

The third master knows this person.

At that time, the third master helped fight the war in Liang Guo as a guest army of the Yan army, and the Liang country even named the third master a general, but the reward from a small country, the third master did not look down upon, and after the battle, he immediately brought him with him. Hu Bamei went back to Jin to find the master.

And this General Pu was Xue San's partner when he fought against the Chu army. This man is brave and powerful, and he is proficient in the art of war.

And this General Pu was first promoted by the old Prime Minister, from a good family to the present.

Obviously, when Liang Guoguo wanted to clean up his remnants of the country's prime minister, he chose to resist.

Xie Yu'an broke off a piece of orange flesh and brought it to the old Prime Minister's mouth. The old Prime Minister opened his mouth and ate it.

"You are old and sick, so you can enjoy your evening with peace of mind. In addition, I will explain to you again. This time, I plan to play a big game;

The two countries of Gan and Chu have been bullied by Yan Guo in the past few years, and they are all suffocating in their hearts. "

The old Prime Minister swallowed the orange meat and said;

"Yan people are wolves."

"That's right." Xie Yu'an echoed.

"Chu people are dogs."

Xie Yu'an shrugged and did not comment.

"A dry man is a pig."

Xie Yu'an: "Hahahaha..."

After laughing,

Xie Yu'an looked at the old Prime Minister,

asked:

"What about the Liang people?"

Two lines of clear tears flowed down from the old Prime Minister's eyes,

muttered:

"It's nothing..."

…

The old prime minister was put under house arrest, by his own son.

The funny thing is,

Before putting the old Prime Minister under house arrest, Pu Cheng made a special trip to the palace to express his loyalty to the lord.

The ruler of the country was very useful and made a political promise to Pu Cheng in the future. At the same time, he hinted that he would temporarily put his father under house arrest.

Of course, the lord of the country would not directly say the word "house arrest". What the lord of the country said was that it has been rainy recently and the humidity outside is heavy, so it is not good for the old country to get less moisture.

What Liang Guoguo didn't know was that the young master Xie's family from Chu State was living in the old country's prime minister's house grandly at this time.

The old prime minister he had been wary of was also the one Chu people were wary of.

Xie Yu'an is making tea,

In front of him, sat Pu Cheng and his two elder brothers.

Tiger fathers have no dogs and sons, that’s just talking. In fact, there are often more examples of tiger fathers and dogs. The ability to be a father is too great, even if the son is much better than ordinary people, but in comparison, it will still appear. inability.

But although this is the Pu residence, the three sons of the Pu family can only sit with them.

The one sitting opposite Xie Yu'an, and the one who let Xie Yu'an cook tea for him himself, was a dry person.

"I heard that General Meng once fought against that Prince Pingxi from Yan Kingdom?"

It was Meng Gong who came.

Meng Gong is now the ruling general of Qian State, equivalent to the general soldier of Yan State.

Meng Gong smiled and said, "I'm ashamed."

Back then in Mianzhou City, he had indeed fought against King Pingxi who was only guarding Cuiliu Castle at that time.

Mianzhou City is defended;

But that group of soldiers suffered heavy losses, and King Fu's head was also moved.

If it hadn't been for the loss of face due to the first Mianzhou city destruction at that time, coupled with the appreciation and protection of Mr. Zhong, Meng Gong might have to go to jail at that time to wait for his punishment.

Not later,

When the battle between Ganchu and General Nian led his army to sweep across the southeast of Qianguo, Meng Gong made a move to block General Nian's fight by linking villages together.

However, the battle between Ganchu and Ganchu was just a small fight, with big movements, but it didn't really hit the brains, and with the continued strength of the Yan people, the two countries quickly concluded an alliance.

"This is fate, hehe." Xie Yu'an smiled and sighed, "Who would have imagined that after the loss of two princes in Yan Kingdom, there would be a Pingxi King immediately.

I do know that this King Pingxi had been to your Qian Kingdom Palace to meet your official family alone. "

Meng Gong also smiled and said: "I also remember that this King Pingxi once rode in a carriage with your Majesty the Great Chu Emperor, and even wrote a poem for your Great Chu Emperor."

Both of them laughed.

Sometimes, I have to sigh with emotion that fate is changeable. A fish fry that slipped through the fingers of a great man back then has grown to this point in the future.

"This time, there can be no more losses." Meng Gong said as he picked up his tea.

"It's natural. If we lose again, we don't have to wait for the Yan people to recuperate before we start. Our own courage will be dissipated in advance."

"That's right, but this time, we have to see whether the South Gate General Soldier of the Yan Kingdom will cooperate with us."

"Yes, this person, my Fengchao inner guard, has done investigations a long time ago. He was born in Nan'an County, the capital city of Yan State. He walked through Shang, and then killed a loan lender for his brother.

Later, he was sent to Jin as a prisoner, climbed up step by step by relying on military merits, and was appreciated by the two prefects of Yingdu, so he was able to rise to the top.

A person who has drowned before, in the future, as long as he is given a rope, he will hold on to it, and will climb up at all costs.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill a concubine for merit.

After he became the commander-in-chief of Nanmenguan, he wanted to integrate these small countries in advance for the use of Yan in order to achieve his own merits. This time, if we give him this opportunity, I will bet on his character. Willing to step forward.

Besides,

This is still a golden opportunity, huh, huh. "

"Yandi is rich in such people." Meng Gong said.

"hehe."

Xie Yu'an nodded, then shook his head again,

"The Yan people take their King Pingxi as an example, but they don't know that that Prince Pingxi lives a truly comfortable life. They can't learn this."

"Comfortable but not disadvantaged." Meng Gong added.

"If you can be great, all walks of life have great abilities, and when you reach a certain level, you can live a smoother life, and you don't have to look at other people's faces anymore.

Why is it talking about King Pingxi again, ha ha.

You know, we avoided him this time.

In the early years, Yan State had King Jingnan, which was really difficult to defeat. Later, Yan State also had King Pingxi, which was still difficult;

Now,

We learned well,

Why do you have to fight against the most powerful person in Yan Kingdom every time? Pick and choose, you can always find a soft persimmon. "

"What you want to pinch is not just soft persimmons." Meng Gong said.

"Pinch one or squeeze one basket, it depends on fate. For example, in the last battle between Chu and Yan, the floods caused disasters, which made the Jin land suffer, and made the logistics of the Yan people difficult, but allowed the Yan people to take this opportunity to change the waterway. into Chu.

What's this,

This is life.

The people of Yan have been smooth for many years, and it is impossible to always be so smooth.

It's up to man to make things happen, it's up to God to see. "

Xie Yu'an stood up,

Patted his pant leg,

Said with emotion:

"Feng Shui takes turns, it's our turn."

...

night,

Outside the house, already asleep, someone knocked on the door.

The servant girl who waits on the bed rises to open the door,

The door was opened, and she was stunned.

Xie Yuan sat up from the bed and said:

"Don't strike so hard in the future."

"Is the young master distressed?" the old man asked.

"Nobody serves my chamber pot at night."

Xie Yu'an shook his hands, sat down at the tea table, poured himself a glass of water from the teapot, drank half of the glass, and habitually picked up an orange on top.

After the old man came in, he brought a man with him, who was Shopkeeper Xiao.

"Meet the young master."

Shopkeeper Xiao saluted Xie Yu'an.

"Oh, why did you come here?"

Shopkeeper Xiao immediately explained the matter.

"Eat less oranges to protect your eyes?"

Xie Yu'an looked at the half-peeled orange in his hand, smiled and shook his head.

"He definitely doesn't know, I don't like to eat oranges, I just like to peel them."

Shopkeeper Xiao suddenly remembered that that guy also seemed to like to peel it and give it to people. Last time, after the blind man peeled it, he gave it to Boss Dai.

But he didn't dare to continue answering.

The old man said: "Young master, the people of Yan have already seen our plan ahead of time, is it now..."

"No, it's not Yan people, it's just the Pingxi Palace. When will the Pingxi Palace represent the Yan Kingdom?"

The old man was speechless for a while.

Xie Yuan threw the orange meat to shopkeeper Xiao,

At the same time:

"Where's the letter?"

Shopkeeper Xiao showed a wry smile on his face, and said: "After he gave the letter to his subordinate, the next day before his subordinate was about to leave Fengxin City, Dai Li snatched it away."

"Stolen?" Xie Yu'an felt a little ridiculous.

"Yes, after snatching it away, the one said that their husband said, you don't need this letter, young master, he has to read it first..."

"What should I see first?"

"See if you... are worthy."

at night
