Devil’s Advent

"Mother, let's eat."

Zhao Yuannian brought a bowl of noodles and delivered it to Princess Fu.

Princess Fu shook her head and said, "My son will use it first, mother is not hungry."

"Son, I've used it. I'm full today." Zhao Yuannian picked up the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks, and he could see the green onion and coriander inside.

Princess Fu reached out to take it and started eating.

Zhao Yuannian watched his mother eat with a smile on his face.

Concubine Fu was a little embarrassed, even in later generations, staring at a woman to eat is still something that can make a woman feel very shy;

What's more, the real officials of the Qian Kingdom now value ethics.

Even if it falls, the palace no longer exists, but some habits cannot be changed in a short period of time.

Zhao Yuannian immediately looked away and said, "People from Yan have sent someone here."

"Huh?" Concubine Fu was a little curious, a little excited, and even more apprehensive.

When King Pingxi led his army to break through, Prince Fu's Mansion was left behind because there were too many female relatives to join the battle.

After Qianjun entered Yanjun's military stronghold, what he saw was a group of Fuwang's mansion dressed in formal attire.

Right now, they are placed in a military fort north of the Bian River;

Outside the military fort, you can see a lot of refugees. Even though the imperial army has crossed the Bian River and recovered Shangjing, these people are still very nervous and dare not go back directly.

It is an exaggeration to say that Shangjingcheng was washed into nothingness.

But a capital city with such a large population lost its morality, law and reverence within a few days after the Yan people invaded;

In such a huge city, with so many people, no one urged them, but they started to "raise Gu" by themselves.

Burning, killing, looting, and all kinds of crimes have become a true portrayal of human nature at that time.

Zhao Yuannian heard the soldiers of the imperial guards chatting with him, but he didn't know exactly what Shangjing was like now.

"Mother, are you worried?" Zhao Yuannian seemed to be making fun of it on purpose.

It wasn't ridicule or ridicule, but between mother and child, at this moment, they were still interested in joking and relaxing.

It has to be said that Zhao Yuannian has grown a lot.

When Zheng Fan entered Chuzhou City for the first time, Zhao Yuannian, who had just lost his father, was like an ignorant little milk dog. He was at a loss in front of Zheng Fan, who was only on guard at that time;

This time when Zheng Fan entered Chuzhou, Zhao Yuannian became a little wolf dog, but in front of Zheng Fan, who was already King Pingxi, the young people of the "dog" family were really not enough to look at.

But now, in prison, he can do a lot more freely.

Leaving aside the aspect of practical work, the level of polishing of character is already extremely high. With the latter, the former can often get twice the result with half the effort.

"Mother is not worried that he will forget us." Princess Fu said, "A character like him doesn't care about us, so he won't forget us."

"Mother's words are very profound."

"If it's just an affair between a man and a woman, if necessary, it should be broken when it is necessary. Anyone will do it. Putting it on folk men and women, this is called affection since ancient times. pattern.

Niang doesn't have the face to say that she and him are having an affair. We, at best, are just a piece of his face. A person like him is not willing to lose his own face. "

"It's true. After the Yan people sent people here, our food will not be deducted immediately, and the full amount will be returned."

Princess Fu ate up a bowl of noodles, and there was not even soup left.

"Mother, what else?"

"Well, mother must be fatter."

...

"Official, you're getting fat."

Han Yi, Han Xianggong, who had just come out of Zixia Palace, said to Zhao Mugou who was standing in front of him when he returned to his residence.

"Fat?"

Zhao Mu was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses, which meant that it was swollen.

"Yeah, the country is in such a catastrophe, the upper capital is broken, and the center is damaged. The old man was most worried about the dragon body of the officials.

After all, this big job belongs to the officials. No matter what, as long as the officials can hold on, I can hold on if I work hard. "

Zhao Mugou nodded and said, "The official family is my hope now."

Grandpa and grandson,

eye contact,

The corners of the mouth are slightly curved.

This is Zixia Palace, the summer resort of the royal family outside Shangjing. The imperial army has recovered Shangjing, but the official residence has not returned to Shangjing.

because,

Can't watch it at all.

This majestic capital city, this magnificent palace, and the majestic Taimiao are all devastated right now.

However, Zixia Palace is Zixia Palace after all, not the military camp where the grandfather and grandson were previously.

At this extremely delicate moment, any disturbance is enough to make this official, who is already in a state of emotional tension, take actions that are not in line with his previous routine.

Not surprisingly, there must be eyes and ears of silver armored guards outside this room.

"Your Highness, what are your plans next?"

"I...I don't know." Zhao Mugou said.

He really didn't know that these words were not intended to be silly.

Leave?

Serve the officials, or help to collect and rectify the refugees, and then rectify and go to Beijing?

What are your intentions!

Go back, go back to your own Prince Rui's Mansion; then, what is your intention to go back in such a hurry when you go to the capital?

In many cases, the essence of the problem is not what you have done, but the suspicion of the superiors about you, and whether you have crossed that line.

"Stay here." Han Quan said, "When I met the official family today, the official family also mentioned you, saying that Prince Rui's residence is loyal to Daqian."

With that said, Han Quan took up the lid of the teacup and put it aside.

"Stay here and fulfill the obligations of the clan vassal king. When the Taizu Emperor divided the vassal kings, the role of the vassal kings was to protect the community. Cough cough cough..."

Han Quan coughed for a while, then took the teacup to the side of the teacup lid.

Zhao Mugou understood the meaning,

Own,

to seek to stay,

At the same time, let your father and king also come to Beijing.

And the father has been bedridden for several years, how could it be possible to move in such a way?

But, you have to come.

Prince Rui's Mansion represents the lineage of Emperor Taizu. Now the country is in a difficult situation, which corresponds to the hardships of the brothers of Emperor Taizu when they started their business. Now, the two lines should be combined to give people political hope and vision.

However, after his father came to Beijing, he was exhausted by horses and horses, so he might not be able to last long.

People who are seriously ill are most afraid of changing the environment and making troubles. This is common sense.

Zhao Mugou respected his father very much. He believed that if he sent a letter, his father would definitely come back with a seriously ill body. He also believed that his father could understand the deep meaning.

This is not "unfilial", this is fate;

Moreover, it was his own grandfather, his father's... father who made this arrangement.

"The old man proposed to the officials that you go to Yaocheng and bring the prince back."

Zhao Mugou's expression became serious;

After the Yan people entered Shangjing, they captured the queen and other princes and dignitaries, as well as many princes and court ladies.

The seventh prince died in battle in Shangjing. He wanted to turn the tide and defend Shangjing. Then, he was crushed to a pulp by the cavalry of the Jingnan Army led by Chen Yang himself.

The prince, on the other hand, escaped from the palace early, escaped from Shangjing, and went to Yaocheng, an acropolis that originally belonged to Shangjing, to the south of Shangjing.

The common people thought that the official family had died in battle, and the great power had collapsed, and the prince at that time and many ministers who fled to Yaocheng with the prince also thought so.

Otherwise, you can't explain why the people of Yan were able to come to Shangjing under the premise that there were officials in front of them to stop them.

In addition, at that time, the wind and rain were turbulent, and the hearts of the people were scattered. In line with the previous sentence: A country cannot live without a king.

Prince,

Just in Yaocheng, he ascended the throne.

After ascending the throne, the prince issued three decrees.

The first way is to mourn the whole country for the official family; this is to create a legitimate name for himself as a crown prince. After the death of the official family, he should take the throne of Daqian emperor.

The second way, in the name of the new king, sent people to Shangjing to contact the Yan army, asking the Yan army not to harm the people of "Zhen".

The third way is to send an order to the counties in the south of the Yangtze River, Qin Wang Weiguo.

The first one is nonsense;

The second way is more nonsense than the first way;

The third way has a very clear political intention. The so-called ordering the kings of the south of the Yangtze River to protect them, the implication is that you are ready, and if the momentum is not good, my new official family will probably "southern tour".

That is to say, the new king is ready to give up the north that has been "corrupted", at least for now, and go to the south of the Yangtze River to build a southern court.

When everything is ready,

The prince and his new court are waiting slowly in anxiety and nervous anticipation;

waiting,

It was the news that the officials led the imperial army back and regained the upper capital.

"..." Prince.

"..." Minister Cong Long.

this joke,

It's a little too big.

When he heard the news, the prince blurted out a sentence: Father, how come you are not dead?

And officials,

After experiencing a series of blows and witnessing the current situation of Shangjing, I was already depressed in my chest, and then I learned that the crown prince had actually ascended the throne. Not only did I not become the overlord, but I jumped into the post of "former emperor" ,

The official family fainted.

This is no longer something that a wise king or an unknown king can bear. Any emperor, facing this situation and suffering from this series of blows, cannot continue to be calm.

Han Yan picked up the lid of the teacup,

on the cup,

from top to bottom,

Little by little, the collision continued, and finally, the lid was placed on the table.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Mugou realized clearly;

Han Quan was telling him that going to Yaocheng was not very dangerous, mainly to leave a step for the people on the side of the prince to descend.

On the other side of Yaocheng, there are only a group of ministers and guards who escaped from Shangjing City, and they collected a little bit of broken soldiers and refugees.

This is to make preparations for the people of Yan to go south immediately if they have any intention of taking care of this side. Therefore, the power over there is actually very weak now;

As for the official family, there are 200,000 troops in their hands, and the elite of the Liangdi branch of the country will return to the country soon, and the three sides are also loyal to the official family;

Dayi is still on the side of the official family. After all, as long as the official family is not dead, the prince's move is a real usurpation and treason.

If the crown prince's strength and the official's were to be exchanged at this time, everyone might hold their noses and admit it. After all, your official family has created a tragic situation where the capital was destroyed. It is reasonable to take the blame and abdicate, but the problem is, The prince is alone and alone, how can he make trouble?

Even if the prince is unable to step down in the face of this situation, even if it is an explanation, it is difficult to explain it clearly.

That,

And after that?

Born in Tian's family, who is a fool?

However, this time I went to appease the prince, it was not aimed at the prince. The prince's career was over, but the people around him still had a chance, they could explain it, not to mention there were two gentlemen there.

Zhao Mugou's identity is just right. After he goes there, he can actually ignore the prince's wishes by giving him a step. When the people around him are about to go downhill, this farce of the "new king" will inevitably end .

And Zhao Mugou can also accumulate huge popularity because of this.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is an extremely dangerous trip, but in fact the danger is very low, and it contains extremely lucrative political speculation;

In addition, after Prince Rui arrived in Beijing, he died;

Sympathy for Taizu's lineage,

Respect to Prince Rui’s loyalty to the country for his achievements in righteousness,

And so on, all the goodwill from the people and the gentry will be blessed to Zhao Mugou.

"I go."

Zhao Mugou replied.

Han Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Zhao Mugou asked again;

"Will the Yan people release those relatives and princes who were looted in Beijing?"

Han Yu smiled,

road:

"If you can come back from Yaocheng, then this errand is still up to you."

What Han Yan said was generous.

Anyway, let the son of the vassal king go if he is going to die.

If he didn't die once, he wouldn't be so lucky the second time, right?

Therefore, when this word spread, even if it reached the ears of the officials, Han Quan was still confident.

after all,

The only people in this world who know the relationship between these three generations are grandfather, father and grandson, these three people.

"Okay, for the sake of the country, I am willing."

Han Quan glanced at the window twice,

Lightly said:

"The Yan people's request seems to be very simple. That Prince Pingxi is a kind person. He only wants someone from the Prince Fu's mansion to come back by name. Probably, what he wants is only a Princess Fu."

"Too much deceit." Zhao Mugou said, "It's shameful to exchange a woman..."

These words are half true and half false. It can be regarded as Zhao Mugou's helplessness in the current situation, and it can also reflect the arrogance of his "child", a little bit of contradicting and complaining, and the superior will feel more real and at ease.

"Tolerance is the country."

Han Yan added:

"The old man thinks that Princess Fu is quite willing to go."

...

"She can't wait to go."

The official lying on the bed trembled a little on his already swollen face in the face of the report from his subordinates.

not angry

But under a series of collapses, the matter of Concubine Fu and Prince Xi can only be regarded as a side dish.

"Officials, please pay attention to the dragon's body." Li Xundao comforted him.

"I understand, don't worry, Ai Qing, I have no other strengths, only one, it is better than that old opponent of Yan Guo, my body is better than him, hehehe."

The official reached out and touched his face, then put it down again.

"Let Xundao take care of the outside affairs for me. I have to take good care of my body."

talking,

The official looked at the servant;

The servant stepped forward and sent a decree to Li Xundao.

Li Xundao opened it, it was a will to rehabilitate.

"It's not that I'm stingy. This purpose was made by me a long time ago, and it's definitely not that I want to ask you for favors now. Just look at the signature."

Li Xundao looked at the signature.

"This is the decree I personally wrote down when I first ascended the throne." The official sighed. From the Renzong Dynasty.

If I can also be that mud-bodied emperor who hangs down and rules, and wants to be a self-styled and unrestrained person who will be famous in history, that's all.

Both the government and the public know exactly what the assassination of the face-to-face is about.

I originally planned to do justice to the stabbed face after I succeeded to the throne, but at that time Han Xianggong and other officials of the Renzong Dynasty were still standing in the court hall. I had to be cautious when facing them, so why would I dare to show this?

Later, when I initially sat on the dragon chair, I realized that in order to be fair and rebellious, what I had to face was not only those gentlemen, but also my centuries-old tradition of emphasizing civility and restraining martial arts.

When I finally drove Han Xianggong and the others back to their hometown.

I finally waited until you went down the mountain,

I thought I could take advantage of this great victory to straighten things out, but who knows..."

"I understand the officials' intentions."

"Xun Dao, I don't bother to pretend to be in front of you anymore, I'm afraid I can't handle this situation by myself, I can only rely on you.

Chaotang, military affairs, this damaged north, you have to tidy up for me, I will avoid the limelight and take care of myself. "

"Thank you for the trust of the officials. I am willing to serve the officials and devote myself to death."

"Okay, let's talk about it ugly. When that time comes, the situation will be stable, the family and country will be stable, and the Yan people will not be able to go south in the end. When I see that it is almost the same, I will kill the donkey."

Li Xundao nodded when he heard the words, and said, "It should."

"But I won't kill you. After the world is settled down, you can go up the mountain again. When you need it, come down again. We can also get along with each other."

"good."

At this time,

A servant from outside came in and reported:

"Officials, the people of Yan have sent envoys again."

...

"The envoy of Yan is really... you Yan people, are there no one left?"

The third master stood there, looking at a minister of the country, with a fearless spirit, using personal attacks here to regain a little bit of dignity for the country.

honestly,

It's ridiculous and pathetic.

"Hey, there is a rule in our palace, everything should be done equally.

When you go to a big country, you have to find a tall person, and when you go to a small country, you have to find a short person. In today's Qian country, I'm the only one who is tall. "

"you……"

The third master rolled his eyes, I am standing here well, you have to give me a stage to perform "Yanzi makes Chu".

"Prince Pingxi, what do you want to say?"

Li Xundao walked in, and the other officials backed away.

The third master stood with his hands behind his back,

road;

"Our prince said that he likes Concubine Fu's plump body. If you are not good at serving, when you send it back, Concubine Fu will lose a few ounces of flesh;

hey-hey,

Our prince is benevolent and likes to repay grievances with virtue,

Just let your empress wear a few taels of meat back, and give it away for free! "
