Devil’s Advent

After the bell strikes nine,

The entire city of Yanjing was plunged into great grief, the streets and alleys, inside and outside the courtyard, were full of crying.

The people of Yanjing City have known for a long time that their emperor is not in good health, not to mention whether it was true or not that the Tibetan master entered Yanjing to cut off the dragon's veins, and his emperor had recuperated in the back garden for a long time. For a period of time, if it wasn't for the fact that the body was really unable to support state affairs, why would His Majesty the Emperor leave his palace?

but,

It's one thing to know, it's one thing to have a hunch,

And when the bell was actually tolled,

In an instant, it was still a bolt from the blue;

The emperor of the big guy died like this?

In their cognition, even if the emperor is sick, he will still get better, even if the emperor is really dying, then he will definitely not die;

he is the emperor,

He is the supreme being of Dayan,

he,

It really should be like being called by Wanmin Mountain, long live.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

An old man was kneeling on the street, crying loudly.

He is not a dignitary, nor an official, he is just a vegetable farmer, so his crying at this time has no other purpose, and no one will monitor whether a vegetable farmer is really sad;

Because no one cares, it seems real.

The old vegetable farmer made a living by selling vegetables. There were three sons in his family. The eldest son died on the bank of the Shouwang River, the second son was guarding Nanwang City, and the youngest son was still young.

A few years ago, when the news of the death of the eldest son came, the old wife was sad for too long, and her body collapsed, and she passed away not long after.

The old vegetable farmer lived alone with his youngest son;

Last year, there was another disaster in the country, which caused the tax collection in Fangshi to be twice as high as before. Life is actually very difficult.

It stands to reason,

What he should hate, at least, in the poems of the scholars of the Qian Kingdom, the people of the Yan Kingdom should hate their militaristic emperor, that is a thief of the people, that is a solitary husband, that is a tyrant whose people want to eat his flesh and drink his blood .

But the old vegetable farmer did not,

he is crying

Crying "Your Majesty" over and over again,

He is suffering from the heart and mourning from the heart.

He was sitting on the ground, obviously very old, but he kept patting the ground with his hands like a child, howling until tears flowed down his face.

When the news came that his eldest son had died in battle,

He just wiped away his tears, and then forcibly held back, he is a man, a big man, how can he cry like an aunt?

But today,

But he didn't care about losing face at all, he just wanted to cry, he just wanted to shout.

On the street, no one laughed at him, because many people were crying.

The boss of the shop was lying on the counter, wiping away his tears, and the buddy was also leaning against the door panel, his eyes were red.

Many passers-by who were in a hurry before were sitting by the side of the road at this time. All of them were soaked in this huge atmosphere of sadness, and each of them was a part of this atmosphere of sadness.

Most of them, even when the emperor was out of the palace, had never really seen the emperor, and even did not know what the emperor looked like, but today, they felt sad from the bottom of their hearts.

Outside Yanjing City,

As winter is approaching, some refugees have migrated here;

Last year's locust plague, although the imperial court made a large-scale rearrangement and relief this year, there are still many impoverished people who came to the capital early with the desire to survive, hoping that they can rely on the feet of the emperor to survive this winter.

The government has also made preparations for relief, and the porridge distribution has also begun.

But when the bell rang,

Many refugees who had just received porridge and rice did not rush to gobble it up, but silently put the porridge bowl on the ground, and put their chopsticks horizontally on the porridge bowl.

They wanted to stand up the chopsticks, but the porridge was too watery, not rice, so they couldn't stand up.

They are also crying, they are also howling.

It is obvious that the emperor raised troops year after year, conscripted labor, and emptied the country's strength, which caused a natural disaster, and they had to live in abject poverty;

However, they didn't think it was the emperor's fault;

emperor,

correct.

This is not a blind belief, but because the people of Yandi no longer endure the threat from the desert, and it has only been a hundred years.

A hundred years is not enough to wipe away the memories passed down from the ancestors. Barbarians crossed the border, butcher knives were raised, and countless Yan Dierlang followed the emperor to fight. In storytelling.

The people of Yan still remember the pain of the war that broke into their own homes, and the pain of foreign troops trampling their land;

so,

The people of Yandi can actually understand their emperor.

Only by beating up foreign countries and foreign nationalities, beating them down, and subduing them can we ensure the safety of our own homes, and only then can we ensure that the flames of war will not reach our own homes.

For this reason, it is really understandable for the common people to be hungry and empty out a little money.

Of course, the premise is that Dayan has won all the wars it has launched in the past few years, which makes the people's endurance stronger.

Since we have been winning battles,

That's good,

Tighten your belt and help His Majesty fight the field. After that, you can live a peaceful life.

This idea, even in the eyes of the current Marquis Zheng, is correct;

In the past, Lord Zheng Hou also had a feeling: fools are easy to fool, and they know what to do, but gradually, he also began to understand more and more: the profound meaning of the saying: the eyes of the masses are discerning.

Look at what the people of Jin have suffered in the past few years. Jinxi is better. When the people of Yan came to kill with iron hooves, they did not intentionally kill them, because the court of Yan State wanted to bring Jin into its territory instead of After burning, killing, looting, and leaving, but even so, the soldiers are like bandits, and they will be fed to the enemy. Don't think that the Yan army who just came in at the beginning will not commit any crimes, it is unrealistic;

As for Jindong, it was really tragic;

The savages came in and plundered the population wantonly. The land in the east of Jin was empty;

Later, when the Yan army and the savage Chu allied forces confronted each other, the savages and Chu people who were short of food even captured the nearby Jin people to serve as two-legged sheep for rations.

That's really miserable;

Later, the reason why the Marquis of Pingxi was able to absorb refugees in the east of Jin and at the same time start granting military farmland for reclamation was also because the original population on this land was almost gone. Therefore, there was no resistance at all. You can do whatever you want.

In the same way, you can see that in Yingdu, in Litian City, can you play in Yanjing?

Natural disasters, after a while, after a while, after the spring, you can look forward to getting better. At least, if you really have nothing to eat, you can still escape from the famine, and flee in the direction of the capital.

because,

Their Emperor, His Majesty, is here.

Now,

The emperor died.

...

"Squeak..."

The door of the house was pushed open from the inside.

It was Ji Chengjue who came out, his face was stained with blood, it was the blood of his father.

Behind him, the prince still knelt there, out of his wits.

And outside the door,

Lu Bing and Wei Zhonghe knelt down slowly.

"Chen, Lu Bing, see the new king, long live my emperor, long live long live long live!"

"Slave Wei Zhonghe, kowtow to the new emperor, long live my emperor!"

They are the most trusted and close people around Emperor Yan. Some things have already been guessed, not to mention, although the two are standing at the door, the movement inside, or even a word, cannot escape them. ear.

The emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. This moment is often the most chaotic time for an empire.

When the old emperor of Chu State died, it immediately caused chaos among the princes. When the previous emperor of the Ji family succeeded to the throne, the princes even competed in Yanjing City;

However, Emperor Yan would never allow such a thing to happen after his death.

What an emperor through the ages pursues is not only his own glory in life, but also his own peace after death;

Set the life and death with one hand,

That is the real consummation.

The head of Dayan's two major yamen is the best assistant arranged by Emperor Yan for his successor;

It's not to assist the new monarch in governing the country and the world,

Wei Zhonghe doesn't have that ability, even Lu Bing doesn't have that ability;

But they are enough to help Xinjun pass this time smoothly without any trouble.

Ji Chengjue stretched out his hand,

Wiping the blood off his face,

take a deep breath,

Looking at the two kneeling in front of them,

Opened the mouth and said:

"Father, you have passed away."

"Your Majesty, the Li bell in the palace has already rung, and the news of His Majesty's Dragon Yu's return to heaven has already been known to the whole capital. According to the system of Great Yan ancestors, when the universe changes, a new monarch should be established first, and then the country's funeral will be arranged.

Your Majesty, please enter the palace first. "

Dayan's ancestral system was inherited from the past. In fact, many systems will be constantly revised, especially when Emperor Yan was in power;

But there are some that will basically be reserved in the past dynasties, such as the etiquette system.

And establish a new monarch first, and then manage the country’s mourning, because the Yan Kingdom always had to face threats from the outside, and more than one emperor died in the battle. The situation, the funeral, wait a moment.

Take care of the affairs of the living first, and put aside the affairs of the dead.

This is due to the reality of the year, but even though the life of the Yan Kingdom has been much better in the past hundred years, the ancestral system has not been changed, in order to make it difficult for the new emperor to think of the ancestors to start a business.

Ganren Chu people call Yan people barbarians, and think that Yan is a country of tigers and wolves, and part of the reason comes from this. Yan people have used etiquette as paper to wipe their ass since ancient times. How comfortable they are, it is by no means a state of etiquette , Shame to be with him!

"Father, everything has been arranged, isn't it?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the late emperor has already arranged everything." Lu Bing replied.

Ji Chengjue nodded,

road:

"Wait."

"Sir, obey the order."

"Slave, obey the order."

Ji Chengjue turned around, walked back, and walked into the house.

Yanhuang,

still sitting on the chair,

chest,

Stabbed a dagger.

However, there was no trace of pain and resentment on Emperor Yan's face, only a sense of relief.

"well."

Ji Chengjue sighed,

Walking to the side of his father's body, he stretched out his hand and picked up the three imperial decrees placed on the tea table.

In the house, candles were lit.

He put the decree enshrining Xiaoqi in front of the candle, watched it burn, and threw it on the ground when it was almost burning his fingers.

That's it,

Still continue to look at completely burned to ashes, and then look away.

then,

He took the remaining two imperial edicts and walked to the prince.

With the decree in his right arm,

bend over,

left hand,

Supporting the prince's arm, pulling him up:

"Second brother, get up first, let's do things first."

The prince nodded, stood up slowly, but still couldn't help it, and then turned to look at his father.

"Don't look, you're relieved and comfortable."

Ji Chengjue pursed his lips,

"Come on, let's explain things first."

"Yes... Your Majesty."

When Ji Chengjue pulled the second prince out of the house, he saw the old matriarch standing behind Lu Bing and Wei Zhonghe.

The old lady knelt down slowly,

Salute to Ji Chengjue.

Ji Chengjue stood there, accepting it.

After the old lady stood up with Lu Bing's support,

Ji Chengjue looked at her,

road:

"My father's body, I also ask grandma to decorate it."

When the deceased departs, the relatives and elders should be selected to wipe their bodies, put on their shrouds, and put on make-up for them, so that they can have a good last time.

The new emperor enters the palace first, and then the body of Emperor Yan will also enter the palace.

Previously, Lu Bing and Wei Zhonghe worshiped the new emperor early without even crying. It wasn't that they were eager to embrace the new emperor's thigh, but that they knew what they should do now.

As the late emperor's confidantes, they have no time to grieve now, and even wiping away their tears is a luxury. Only after the new emperor is settled properly according to the late emperor's last wish, they may have time to think about it. Their majesty has already left. .

Emperor Yan died in the Lu Mansion, which is actually very convenient, because although the Lu Mansion has many incompetent clansmen, it is Lu Bing's mansion after all, and there are many trustworthy subordinates in it. It is impossible to manage the situation here. question.

As for how Emperor Yan died, he died of illness, and it was impossible for the sixth prince to stab him to death with a dagger.

Today, they are the only ones who know the whole thing.

Later, the people who were brought by the old lady to sort out the remains of the late emperor will also be quickly silenced.

The late emperor's will,

He wants the new king he chooses to succeed him cleanly.

Prince,

Will read out the imperial edict to abolish his crown prince;

Wei Zhonghe, or Zhao Jiulang, will read out the imperial edict to establish the sixth prince as the new king.

The knife wound on the late emperor's body will be covered up;

Even if someone in later generations wants to discredit the new monarch, they will not be able to create an unnecessary "candle shadow and ax sound" in the matter of passing on the throne.

Even if, the new monarch is really a regicide.

But the first emperor will still give him a "righteousness".

Ji Chengjue got into the carriage arranged by Lu Bing, and the prince also sat in it.

Wei Zhonghe drove the car,

Lu Bing was also sitting in the carriage.

At the same time, Lu Bing's yamen and secret agents also received orders from their respective bosses almost at the same time, and began to fully operate. Everything is for the success of the new king's affairs.

Ji Chengjue's face has been wiped clean, and the clothes on his body have also been changed.

Sitting in the carriage, leaning back, his eyes are open, but in fact, he is not really thinking about anything.

The prince lowered his head and sat opposite.

At least, he is still the prince now;

"Second brother."

"Well, Your Majesty."

Hearing the sound, Ji Chenglang raised his head and looked at his sixth younger brother.

"Just don't change your mouth, wait until you change your mouth."

"Okay, sixth brother."

"He's gone, this family, this country, now depends on us."

Ji Chenglang nodded, and said, "I'll help you for a year, and then I'll resign and go back home to read and fix books."

There is no hypocrisy or tweaking, everything is very straightforward.

now,

In fact, Ji Chenglang didn't have the heart to fight any more, he was convinced;

Ever since I saw Lao Liu pinching his father's neck, seeing Lao Liu stabbing his father's chest with a dagger,

He was frightened, terribly frightened,

But at the same time, he felt liberated.

The father and the queen are gone, and the mother is also gone. The hatred and grievances seem to be stripped of the main body all at once.

He wants to stay, to act, and he has to be in the new dynasty. This deposed prince will continue to help with some things. At the same time, he also knows that his sixth younger brother will arrange a very important position for him.

He had to use his actual actions to tell the world that it was the will of his father that he was deposed and his younger brother was established, and that he, the crown prince, was not forced to abdicate.

certainly,

There is nothing to be wronged, it is not even considered acting, after all, what he saw with his own eyes was the sixth younger brother passed on to him by his father.

"Repairing books requires a lot of money." Ji Chengjue actually said this at this moment.

Ji Chenglang smiled,

really,

It costs a lot of money to repair books, and it is a big project.

"Father fights the world, you rule the world, I have to find something to do, just leave some real Wenhua for Dayan, so that I won't be told that I have no culture when I deal with people from Yan and Chu." Daoshi didn't have any confidence in his heart.

The most important thing is that after my father leaves, I'm afraid that after I lose my energy, maybe something will happen to my body.

Brother, if I really get sick early and leave, I don't care. It's not good for you, sixth brother. "

Ji Chengjue nodded.

The prince is like an eel, and the Emperor Yan is like a pike. Without the stimulation of a pike, a group of eels will easily become lifeless, and then die quickly.

"Wait another two years, and now the treasury is running a mouse."

"This, I'm not in a hurry."

The two brothers, at this moment, just after the death of their father, they actually showed a true brotherhood.

When the first emperor left, he took away with him, as well as the rift between brothers.

Ji Chengjue was also not sure if his old man had counted this before his death.

The carriage has entered the street.

The cries of the people on both sides came, and the two brothers were instantly surrounded by the sadness of the capital.

Ji Chenglang took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Ji Chengjue said:

"Anyway, he is indeed a good emperor." After a pause, Ji Chengjue added an attributive, "In the eyes of the common people."

immediately,

Ji Chengjue seemed to have thought of something,

shouted to the front;

"Eunuch Wei."

"The slave is here."

"Can I make an order now?"

Theoretically, it is impossible, after all, the new monarch has not ascended the throne, and even many ministers don't know that Dayan's new monarch is not the crown prince but the sixth prince.

But, in fact, with Wei Zhonghe and Lu Bing around, at this moment, the imperial decree can be passed on as the last emperor's will;

Well, the effect may be better than Xinjun's.

"Your Majesty, it is possible."

Ji Chengjue nodded,

road;

"Pass down the decree, order Pingxihou to transfer the Jingnan Army outside the city into Beijing."

—————

The plot of the first two days exhausted my emotions and energy too much, and I just forcibly reversed my schedule today, so my mind was basically empty and numb during the day, so I will update it today; in fact, the brain behind the plot There are, but I am not satisfied with the status of writing, so I will write it tomorrow after a good night's sleep.

Thank you for your rewards and votes in the past two days, I really appreciate everyone.

When I first wrote "Magic Landing", I told everyone in a single chapter that "Magic Landing" is a book I practiced myself, so when I decided to publish the book, I had already done a good job of achieving better results than the previous "Magic Landing". "Late Night Bookstore" is ready for a sharp decline. I just want to write happily and enjoy myself. It can play a role in exercising myself and precipitating myself. After all, I plan to take writing as a career for the rest of my life. If I pursue achievements , You can wait for the future, don't worry, sharpen the knife and cut the firewood by mistake.

So, I can’t say that "Magic Comes" is a transformational work, but it can be said that it is a new attempt. At the beginning, I wrote infinite streams, and then I wrote ghosts. Well, now I write "Da Yan War".

And now the results of "Magic Landing" are not as high as "Late Night Bookstore", but other statistics have surpassed the bookstore, and it is only a matter of time before the average rating catches up.

Well, a book for practicing pens can actually have a chance to surpass the book of the Great God's Promise,

akimbo,

I'm so proud, but I've blown myself away.

Therefore, in the future, I will continue to write down with great enthusiasm, and I will not disappoint everyone's support for me.

I think that as an author, the happiest thing is that when you are seriously dreaming, there are many people who support and like your dream.

Dreams don't disappoint people.

Hold on everyone!
