Devil’s Advent

Stepping into the Flower Appreciation Tower every day, Zhao Yuannian, the King of Fortune, also in armor, followed closely behind.

How delicate this building was before, now it is messy and filthy.

There is often only a thin line between beauty and ugliness;

For almost a whole day, the prince was in the private room upstairs, admiring the style of Jiangnan, but when Tiantian came in, the place was full of screaming female concubines and disheveled women who ran out of each room in panic. By.

Talented scholars, feather fan scarves and so on can basically only be seen from a distance and not played with, because after taking off their clothes, they will either have a big belly or a whole body of chicken ribs;

However, Tiantian is different from his "father", at least, in Tiantian's mind, there is no "fantasy" of Jiangnan style;

He was born in the palace and grew up in the military camp since he was a child. To a certain extent, he can be said to represent the general mentality of a group of young soldiers in Eastern Jin.

More than ten years ago, the Gan people called the Yan people barbarians, and the Yan people called the Gan people rotten.

Over the past decade or so, Dayan has had frequent foreign wars, and most of them ended with great victories. The harvest on the battlefield is not only population, wealth, land, food, but also... self-confidence.

Humans, no, regardless of whether they are human beings, monsters, beasts, etc., the most fundamental and essential culture is admiration and strength.

No martial arts, no matter how colorful the style of Wenhua is, in the eyes of outsiders, it is just an embroidered pillow, or even a joke.

Moreover, as early as the Xueguan period, Jindong, although Dayan held an imperial examination, but Jindong did not cooperate with it. Year after year, batch after batch, they cultivated either army seeds or hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The prevalence of labor and pragmatism has created a great sense of estrangement between Eastern Jin and Qianguo, which represents the peak of Zhuxia's culture, in terms of culture.

It cannot be said that Jindong is sufficiently advanced and excellent, and there is no absolute side to everything, but the facts that have been created today are:

Including Tian Tian, ​​​​and the Jindong warriors behind him who rushed into the flower appreciation building, they have nothing to do with these literati, these "rare things" and "exquisite things" such as scrolls and poems hanging in the building Feel.

All these bells and whistles, just like Chu people's songs, not only do not feel beautiful, but like watching a "monkey show".

And this kind of mentality did not exist in Dayan before Zheng Fan emerged more than ten years ago.

At that time, Jin people heard that people had a strong "literary style". At that time, the people of Yan would also ask Gan people to build a back garden outside the capital for the emperor to visit.

Originally, neither Zheng Fan nor the blind man had noticed this change.

But standing on the tall building at this moment, seeing the strong impact of his own soldiers rushing in and the previous environment, the prince shook the soot and frowned slightly.

Xie Yu'an, who has been "watching words and demeanor", took the initiative to send ladders to build ladders and set up ladders, noticed it, and immediately said:

"Exquisite objects are not broken, but fortunately they can be kneaded and reshaped at any time in the future."

Xie Yu'an is a smart person, and smart people often appear cold and out of place;

But it doesn't mean that he doesn't know what to say, it's just that he was too lazy to do it before and didn't need to do it.

However, when the need arises, he can "lick" better and more professionally than anyone else.

For example, Xie Yu'an clearly knew that the King Regent of Dayan, who was famous for his fierceness abroad, actually had the sentiment of "evening willows in the evening wind" in his bones;

So seeing this situation, he didn't directly praise "the prince is mighty" and "the prince's soldiers and horses are majestic", but followed the prince's temperament to talk to him.

But after hearing this,

The prince shook his head,

It didn't seem to be responding to Xie Yu'an, but more like talking to himself:

"It is not because of barbarism that an absolute military group is created, but because of an absolute military group, it will inevitably bring about barbarism."

Zheng Lin, who was standing beside him, couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard what his own father said;

Oh, it started again.

However, when Zheng Lin looked at Xie Yu'an, he found that Xie Yu'an's expression froze for a moment.

Zheng Lin believes that this is not an act, because these days, he has personally witnessed this Xie family horse sycophanting in front of his own father again and again. foil and contrast.

so……

Is it because I didn't understand this?

"My lord is far-sighted, boy, I admire you." Xie Yu'an said sincerely.

Because he could tell that this Lord Dayan was no longer limited to conquest... but was thinking about how to make conquest an orderly rule.

This kind of height and depth of thinking made Xie Yu'an feel admiration at this moment;

Because it has surpassed the pattern of an excellent general, an excellent handsome talent...or even an excellent emperor.

but,

The prince quickly adjusted his emotions,

He smiled,

Look at the many scrolls of poems hanging between the railings in the private room;

"Before, Gu was still teasing others. He was in a brothel, and his ambition was on the battlefield. Well, Gu has committed the same problem."

In this most upscale brothel in Jinghai City,

Looking at the panicked and disheveled men and women below,

I can actually think about the long-term stability and cultural identity of the entire Zhuxia in the future.

Si Niang laughed and said:

"Isn't this normal?"

talking,

Siniang continued to reach out and play with the prince's beard,

"In the entire world, the closest thing to the way of heaven is not the back mountain of Qianguo, nor is it Tianhushan, or the altar of the snowfield, or the witch festival of Chu, nor is it the Qintianjian.

but here.

To know,

I don't know how many men become Buddhas and saints here every day. "

"Hahahahaha."

The prince laughed out loud.

Xie Yu'an kept silent beside him.

He can't respond to the princess and the prince riding the horse-drawn carriage.

now,

below,

Walking in front of the oiran every day, the oiran wears the most beautiful and luxurious clothes, and has the most maids around her.

Facing this silver-armored young general,

The oiran restrained the panic on her face,

kneel down,

crisp voice:

"Little girl Susu, thank you General for saving me."

Normally speaking, most of the time, the guests in the red tent are not as rich as the girls, and...in fact, they are not as knowledgeable as the girls.

The oiran's reaction was extremely fast.

Looking at her every day, his eyes showed the color of thinking.

but,

Tiantian didn't say anything, just walked past him.

The oiran was going to say something else, at least she knew that under the sudden chaos, this silver-armored general could keep herself safe.

But the soldiers around Tian Tian immediately slashed their swords and stopped her.

Every day without looking back, I started to go upstairs,

joke,

Although Tian Tian is the most beloved son of his father, it stands to reason that he should be filial to his father;

But Tiantian is not so foolish as to send a woman to his father when he knows that the aunt is by his side.

"Father commander, the last general's headquarters and Nian Yao's department have already entered the city, and they are starting to take down the city gate and the arsenal and grain depot."

"good."

The prince nodded,

Then he turned around and said to the people in the private room:

"I've been here all day, and I can finally go out to get some fresh air."

Si Niang asked:

"My lord, do you want to change the python robe?"

The prince waved his hand,

road:

"It's not going to Shangjing City, it's just a Jinghai City, I'm too lazy to spend such effort."

The prince stretches out his hand,

His Royal Highness Shizi glanced at his mother and stretched out his hand.

Father and son hold hands,

The prince looked to the sky,

road:

"Your brother Tian has grown up, it's not appropriate to hold his hand again."

I laughed every day.

He still remembered that when his father took him to battle, he liked to hug him and sit on Pixiu's back.

Now watching his father holding his younger brother, this scene makes Tian Tian feel warm in his heart.

Zheng Lin pouted slightly,

The co-author isn't brother growing up, you still don't bother to hold me, do you?

If it wasn't for my mother watching from behind, I'll let you hold it, I'll let you hold it!

However, on the whole, Zheng Lin is still very well-behaved, one is because the mother who has been looking for reasons to break his legs recently is there;

The second is that he knows very well that Father Bei is also here, and he is very disgusted that he does not cooperate with the status of the son in public.

Therefore, no matter what, Zheng Lin has to cooperate well in this performance of fatherly kindness and filial piety.

but,

When you go downstairs,

Seeing the oiran stopped by the soldiers,

Zheng Lin whispered:

"Aren't you going to accept her? You've been staring at her for a long time."

The prince was not angry, but instead educated him earnestly:

"It's best not to touch the women of Qianguo. The silver armored guards of Qianren are best at giving away their wives."

Zheng Lin said: "If you have your mother guarding the gate for you, what is the Silver Armored Guard?"

"I'm middle-aged." The prince said with emotion, "When the battle is over, I'll think about going fishing and keeping healthy."

"Speaking so much, I'm not afraid of my mother."

Zheng Fan smiled "hehe\

,"road:

"Do you still have the nerve to tell me?"

The father and son muttered all the way, and walked outside the Flower Viewing Building.

Pixiu was already waiting here, and Zheng Fan turned on Paixiu.

"Where's my horse?" Zheng Lin asked the guard next to him.

Tian Tian, ​​who followed behind, directly hugged Zheng Lin;

"Your brother is not sick, is he?"

Tiantian's voice came behind him.

"..." Zheng Lin.

Zheng Lin was carried to Zheng Fan by Tiantian.

Immediately afterwards, Tiantian turned over and took on his own beast.

Wang Ye looked at Tiantian and said, "Yanjing has bred two more Pixiu, one for you."

"No need, father, my son has feelings for it."

Tiantian stroked the mane of the beast under his crotch.

Zheng Fan nodded, Tiantian is a child who is nostalgic and empathetic.

The team began to march, and the target was the government office of Jinghai City, which is the power center of Jinghai City.

The prince and the prince ride together on a wild animal, and beside them are Xie Yu'an, Tian Tian, ​​and Zhao Yuannian, the sword master and the sword maker, one in front of the other, and the guards in brocade clothes.

At this time,

Zheng Fan lowered his head and asked his son:

"What do you think should be done next?"

Zheng Lin replied calmly: "Loot the city to boost morale."

The army traveled a long distance, made a big circle around the Chu country, turned over and crossed the mountains on the way, and finally arrived here, so they must need some encouragement.

In addition, the army's military needs must also be resolved. It makes no sense to ask the rear to continue to deliver food and grass needs after entering the south of the Yangtze River.

"go on."

Zheng Lin continued:

"According to the military laws of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the captured proceeds must be collected first and then rewarded. This military law has been repeatedly ordered to the Chu army before, and you have already allocated the share with the Xie family.

Therefore, right now, let the Chu army loot and the Yan army watch the show, anyway, they will get a share of the looting. "

Xie Yu'an next to him heard this and subconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth.

Zheng Fan said: "Continue."

"After the Chu army has plundered, you can choose a few soldiers of the Chu army to find an excuse to kill, to appease the people's grievances, and to make a show.

When the Chu army plunders the gates and noble households, they can send people to watch them. After most of the plundering is completed, they will come forward to stop and protect them in the name of the palace;

Maximize the hatred of Ganren and transfer it to the contradiction between Ganchu. "

"..." Xie Yu'an.

"Anymore?"

"Try to capture the high-ranking officials of Jinghai City alive as much as possible, and force them to jointly issue a document in response to our army's entry into the army, in order to avenge the former Emperor Qian and overthrow the rebellion of Qian, so as to achieve justice."

"Is it over?"

Zheng Lin turned his head and looked at Zhao Yuannian who was riding a horse beside him. He was transferred by a royal decree when he was preparing to enter the army through Chu State. Originally, he had an errand in Jindong that belonged to him, and he had been doing very well. good.

However, he did not participate in the decisive battle with Chu State in the first stage;

Zheng Lin stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Yuannian,

road:

"Fake a posthumous edict of the late emperor and make him the new official of the Qian Kingdom."

Zhao Yuannian's breathing stagnated suddenly!

"He is from the lineage of the King of Fu and the lineage of the Emperor Taizong, so it is justifiable to change his name compared to Zhao Mugou."

Zhao Yuannian gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressed his emotional fluctuations so that they would not be too obvious.

"The first prince is still in Beijing, and the first emperor of Qianguo still has the prince alive."

Although the Yan army entered Shangjing back then, resulting in the death of several princes, for example, the prince with the most martial virtue died in a fight with his own family.

But Emperor Qianguo was a person who was good at keeping in good health. Because of his good health, he also had a lot of children.

"Don't you think it would be unjustifiable to establish him?" Zheng Fan asked.

Zheng Lin tilted his face and looked at his father;

He really wanted to say,

Then why did you specially transfer him to bring him in? Is it fun to take off your pants and fart?

However, the godfather of the blind man behind has been showing a look of approval, a child can be taught;

The mother looked at the rare "father-son harmony", and her eyes softened a lot;

Zheng Lin really didn't dare to dismantle the stage directly.

As he got older, he discovered more and more the fact that it seemed that many people around him wanted to beat him?

Then, he had to discover another fact, it seemed that the only one who could keep those people from beating him was his own father whom he despised.

these years,

He has been in a vicious circle,

The more he looks down on his own father, the easier it is to be beaten...

And if he can imitate the way this Xie family Qianliju treats his own father these days, twisting and licking again,

It seems that I can get a lot of freedom.

Because his own father is actually the one who can make everyone around him submit and dare not disobey him.

But his heart is full of shock!

Zheng Fan has never had a particularly bad impression of his son. In Zheng Fan's view, when ordinary people are children, their strangeness and fear of the world will make them instinctively worship and imitate their parents;

When they reach adolescence, they will show a rebellious attitude, thinking that their parents, oh, are just ordinary people.

Only when I was a little older and experienced self-precipitation in the heat and cold of the world, could I realize that being an ordinary person and a parent...is not easy.

My son,

It just skipped the first stage and went directly to the second stage.

Who has never been young, who has never been arrogant?

After all, which parent would really be angry with an adolescent child? They are all coming here.

Oh no, Si Niang is an exception, because she is forever young.

Zheng Lin said:

"It's justified, it's useless."

"oh?"

"As soon as the call to action comes out, those who are willing to bet and agree with the dry land, including this Jiangnan, are not looking at the integrity of the name, but the strength behind it.

If we randomly pick a vassal of the Qian Kingdom, even if we save the first prince of the Qian Kingdom from the custody of Shangjing and put it here, it will be of no use.

For those who might gather, what they see, is the actual thing.

Really practical ones that make them feel at ease and willing to re-bet,

It's our Prince Regent's Mansion... and Yan Kingdom. "

Next,

Zheng Lin's eyes softened a little, and his tone slowed down a bit:

"Auntie is your father's woman, he..."

Zheng Lin pointed at Zhao Yuannian again;

"He is my righteous brother, a member of our palace. If he is the puppet emperor, the palace will not give up. If the palace does not give up, the country of Yan will not give up. Only those who sit on the wall dare to come down and stand in line. Cohesion."

The word "puppet" did not fluctuate in Zhao Yuannian.

He never thought that after he became the emperor, he would revive his work, he must be crazy!

But Zheng Lin's phrase "Brother Yi\

,"But Zhao Yuannian felt deeply flattered;

This is not flattery, because Zheng Lin's status is already much higher than him, and the calmness, courage and wisdom he presents already have a strong father's style.

Although, the word "Father Xiao" is really not a compliment to Zheng Lin, and it will even make him mad and angry.

However, thanks to the fact that Si Niang was so tired of her son not long after the baby was born, and threw it to Princess Fu to take care of her like a shopkeeper;

As a result, the relationship between Zheng Lin and Concubine Fu is not as close as an ordinary mother and child. After all, it is impossible for Zheng Lin to be as sweet as a big girl, but in Zheng Lin's heart, he is actually close to Concubine Fu.

Even, she was... polite to her son.

You know, when the Crown Prince of Chu called him "Brother", if he hadn't just been sealed, Zheng Lin might have punched him in the head.

Zheng Lin continued:

"The news of our army's entry into the army has spread to Shangjing, and Shangjing may continue to grit its teeth and not withdraw its troops from the north, but to find other ways to continue to delay, because you have used too many similar tricks in the past.

But if we set up a small imperial court in the south of the Yangtze River, it would be tantamount to going to Beijing, which is a conspiracy.

For the sake of the overall situation of the war, if he doesn't care, then the south will collapse;

If he manages, the north will collapse.

No matter how you choose, you have to collapse. "

hear here,

Zheng Fan turned his head subconsciously and looked at the blind man.

These words, you taught?

Zheng Fan couldn't help but think about it, after all, back then, he also went to Lao Tian's place to transcribe the answers after memorizing the answers in advance at Liang Cheng's place.

The blind man "seeed" Zheng Fan's gaze and shook his head slightly, indicating that it was not him.

That... is what Zheng Lin thought.

Zheng Fan didn't think that the blind man would cover for Zheng Lin. After all, he was only the son of a legitimate son, which was equivalent to the emperor's only prince. Does this prince still need to fight for favor?

Even if it was Tiantian, no one would think that Tiantian would compete with Zheng Lin for the seat in the future.

Because everyone in the family knew it, including Tian Tian himself, if he wanted it, Zheng Fan would give half of everything he owned without hesitation and give it to the eldest son directly.

But Tiantian’s ambition is not here... The blind man used "Shaqima" to brainwash and seduce Tiantian when he was very young, but he failed to wash him successfully, which is enough to show the firmness of this child's mind.

What Tiantian wants is to give all the good things to his younger siblings, and then he will personally help them protect them. He is a big brother, and he is willing to be this big brother forever.

This has nothing to do with whether it is the seed of the old field;

Because in the original trajectory, Tian Tian, ​​as the main force, overturned all of this.

The fundamental reason is that when Zheng Fan was very young, he cared for him by precept and example. In his previous life, Zheng Fan did not have a healthy and warm home, and there was no such thing in Tiantian's original trajectory;

In this life, father and son are real father and son, and they also attach great importance to this "family".

so……

This brat,

Is it so powerful?

Zheng Fan couldn't help it,

He reached out and pinched his son's face,

I rubbed my head again,

Zheng Lin was breathing fast, holding back his anger,

Don't go too far, go too far!

Seeing that my own rubbing pissed off my son,

Zheng Fan laughed "hahaha".

Strange to say,

He, Zheng Fan, could accept the "smartness" of Tiantian back then, and he could also accept the "sophistication" of the prince Ji Chuanye back then,

But after all, it was... someone else's child.

Zheng Fan has never felt that his own son can be very promising in terms of "brains". What's more, he considers his blood from the side.

However,

It cannot be denied that,

Zheng Lin, who has the blood of the demon king and has been nurtured by the precepts and deeds of the seven demon kings,

he,

It's more like... No, he is the real evildoer in this world!

this moment,

Only then did Zheng Fan realize that he seemed to have been walking into a misunderstanding. The blind men sealed Zheng Lin's power when he was just born, saying that they were worried that Zheng Lin would lose control and turn himself into a "beast";

Possibly, what the blind men valued was not only the so-called blood, but also wisdom.

The King Regent of Dayan did not break away from the role and instinct of an "old father" after all;

He looked at Xie Yuan beside him,

asked:

"how?"

The cubs in the family can recite ancient poems, so they have to pull them out to present a treasure in front of relatives and friends;

Not to mention, what my son just said is Ping Guoce, although he is a little immature and too focused on skills, but you have to see his age!

Compared with being a prince, Xie Yu'an's inner shock was actually greater, because this His Royal Highness, after changing his appearance, often served tea and water for himself in the handsome tent, and they were in close contact with each other almost every day, but he did not. Unaware.

Coupled with the previous words, Xie Yu'an did not believe that this was well-arranged. First, the prince had no reason to let him cheat by reciting the book in order to show off his son. unusual.

"My lord, if my majesty could get to know and recognize his nephew sooner, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid I won't fight anymore?" Zheng Fan asked with a smile.

Xie Yu'an shook his head, and said, "I'm afraid I would have fought long ago, because if I wait, there is no hope."

"hehe."

Ahead, the "sight-sighted" swordmaker turned his head and looked here,

shouted:

"Does His Royal Highness need a saber?"

Zheng Lin shouted back:

"I like axes."

"Coincidentally, what I am best at in my life is making axes." Said the ax maker of Chu State.

"First year."

Zheng Fan shouted.

Zhao Yuannian was agitated. He on the horseback subconsciously saluted, and then his body twisted. Thanks to the sword master beside him, he stretched out his hand and released a burst of energy to support him, otherwise he would really fall off the horse.

Zheng Lin sighed,

He deserves that his master has been "eat" by his own father for so many years,

I didn't realize that my "righteous brother" deliberately wanted to throw a dog and eat mud to pave the way for the next scene. What are you supporting?

The Juggernaut didn't know that he was despised by his proud disciple just now.

Zhao Yuannian, who didn't fall into an ugly face,

A little embarrassingly just right my figure,

road:

"My lord, my humble position is here!"

"My son said that he wants you to be an official. Are you right?"

Zhao Yuannian swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, did not speculate, did not refuse, he is not qualified, he repeatedly remonstrated and pushed, so he said directly:

"His Royal Highness asked me to do it, so I will do it, and I will listen to His Royal Highness!"

Zheng Fan reined in,

Pixiu stops;

Immediately, the entire team stopped together.

Zheng Fan waved his hand,

road:

"I haven't met the officials yet."

For a moment, Jinyi's personal guards, together with Xie Yu'an, the swordmaker and others, all said in unison:

"Meet the officials of Qian State!"

"Meet the officials of Qian State!"

Zhao Yuannian... Oh no, Zhao Guan's face was flushed, he quickly got off his horse, walked quickly to Zheng Fan's Pixiu, knelt down, put his forehead against the green brick, and spread his hands on the ground,

Shouted loudly in a five-body throwing way:

"I'm going down to the official family, and I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Regent of Dayan, long live the prince, long live the prince, long live the prince!"

The prince reached out, grabbed his son's right hand, and helped him lift it up;

Zheng Lin felt that this scene was similar to that of lighting cigarettes in the flower-viewing building before.

But in the end it is for the sake of Princess Fu,

Zheng Lin chose to continue to cooperate,

road:

"Stay flat."
