Devil’s Advent

Chapter 733: A New Era

"Come on, do it!"

"Come on, drink!"

Old Guangtou and Old Hetou decided to get drunk today.

Bi He urged He Chu to go back and re-write the brand, and the price of pork has increased!

When a happy event comes, although it is still in the midst of a national mourning, it is not allowed to celebrate, but for ordinary people, especially those living in the capital, it is no problem to cut some meat and go back to have fun, and the price will not be raised at this time When will the price increase?

Zheng Fan also stood up. Since the good news came, the specific military situation must also have arrived, so he had to go to the palace to see.

Juggernaut didn't go with him,

Because he didn't want to drink tea with that eunuch Wei Zhonghe anymore.

Fan Li escorted Zheng Fan into the imperial city. Now, if Dayan Ping Xihou wants to enter the palace, he can enter whenever he wants, just like going back to his own home.

The graces of being allowed to ride horses in the palace and not kneeling before the emperor were added early on.

There is even a saying that His Majesty intends to make all three of his sons and daughters worship Ping Xihou as their second father.

This means that in the future Ping Xihou can even enter the harem at will.

This is of course unseemly, but assuming that His Majesty only has two concubines, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Of course,

Marquis Zheng is not interested in "godfather" or "godfather". In his eyes, the real godson is "Tian Tian", and the rest are gifts.

Now, what he wants to see is the military newspaper.

"Master Hou, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the imperial study."

Eunuch Qu seems to have been waiting for him early.

In fact, when the new monarch ascended the throne, the first to accept it was not the government, but the eunuchs in the inner palace.

If it is said that Wei Zhonghe stayed because of his special position for the stability of the transition of imperial power, then the red-robed eunuchs such as Eunuch Qu were all due to past affection.

It can be seen from this that when the new monarch was the prince, he had an affair with the eunuchs in the inner palace, which can almost be said to be obvious.

But now, no one dares to participate and no one dares to punish.

It can also be seen from this that it is not surprising that Ji Lao Liu was able to know everything about the palace in the palace back then.

Eunuchs love money, but eunuchs also value love. The foundation of their survival is actually the friendship with their masters. To a certain extent, they are actually more loyal than the so-called "princelings" and "six masters" in the outer dynasty.

Of course, eunuchs are not allowed to do things like politics, Zheng Fan believes that Ji Chengjue doesn't need to remind himself that the old Yanhuang's kind, once crossed the line at certain times, it will be frighteningly cold when it should be cold.

"Master Pingxi will see you."

The little eunuch outside just reported,

Inside the imperial study room, there were three loud laughs.

"Hahaha!"

Lord Zheng Hou walked in and saw Ji Chengjue sitting on a chair in the imperial study holding a memorial, with his other hand raised in front of his chest.

Deliberately, like a drama on stage.

Zheng Fan just stood there, staring at him;

Although throughout the ages, there have been many people who have been allowed to face the face saint without saluting Enrong, but the one who really did it so directly is probably the only one.

Ji Chengjue made a pose, but Zheng Fan didn't cooperate.

no way,

He can only let go of himself,

Throwing the folder on the table,

road:

"Great victory, Zheng Fan, great victory!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Zheng Fan stepped forward, picked it up and looked at it himself without waiting for Wei Zhonghe to help deliver it.

This is a military memorial, which will describe the process, development and results of the war, so there are a lot of words, and it is impossible to shorten it for you in a simple way.

Lord Zheng Hou pulled up a chair and sat down.

Then he said to Eunuch Wei next to him:

"Tea."

"The slave understands."

Eunuch Wei immediately served hot tea and snacks.

Ji Chengjue came down and said to Zheng Fan:

"Such a great victory, Zheng, how many years do you think the west side can be safe?"

Zheng Fan took a piece of walnut cake and put it into his mouth. He continued to look at it while chewing, and nodded at the same time, signaling to the emperor to be calm.

The emperor couldn't wait, he had no choice but to rule the country and do business, but unfortunately, he had never fought a war.

Although this man surnamed Zheng didn't regard himself as an outsider, which made him a bit shameless as an emperor, but who told him to really believe in the vision and opinions of this surname Zheng.

However, looking at it from another angle, if one day this gentleman surnamed Zheng treats himself as the emperor respectfully, then Ji Chengjue probably won't be able to sleep at night.

Eat the third piece of walnut cake,

Zheng Houye finally finished watching it.

He was not in a hurry to answer Ji Chengjue's question,

Instead:

"No, what's the matter with King Jingnan and his 800 cavalry chasing and fleeing the little prince?"

"It's just a pursuit." Ji Chengjue was a little confused, "I guess this letter is here now, but now in Beifeng County, King Jingnan should have captured the little prince or returned with his head. .”

It doesn't matter whether you know soldiers or not, you must recognize King Jingnan's ability.

"Take 800 riders and chase westward, and the prince himself will go after him?"

Zheng Fan suddenly had an ominous premonition.

This kind of premonition did not mean that any accident would happen to Lao Tian, but, in the dark, he felt that it seemed that he would not see Lao Tian again for a long, long time.

"What do you mean?" the emperor demanded.

Zheng Fan wiped the finger that took the walnut cake on Eunuch Wei's clothes,

Then touched his forehead,

gritted his teeth,

road:

"I feel, my lord, he may have chased after him on purpose. No, he didn't chase after him. He chose a way to exile himself."

Liang Cheng is the introductory teacher of Zheng Fan's Art of War.

Lao Tian, on the other hand, has further improved and sublimated.

It's not that Liang Cheng's ability to lead troops to fight is much worse than Lao Tian's, but that the platforms of the two sides are different.

Once upon a time, Lao Tian let himself handle hundreds of thousands of military affairs for a period of time. To be honest, which teacher in this world can provide his students with this level of "practice class"?

Therefore, Zheng Fan knows Lao Tian very well.

It is also clear that at that time, at that juncture, how impulsive it must have been, to be dazzled by the victory, so that the commander of the first army would personally lead his troops to chase after the fleeing target?

Is Lao Tian an impulsive person?

There is only one explanation left, he did it on purpose.

Compared with Zheng Fan's disappointment and sadness, Ji Chengjue, the emperor, seemed to be truly devastated.

He staggered a few steps back. Fortunately, Eunuch Wei quickly dragged the chair over with his eyes and hands, which prevented the emperor from falling to the ground.

Ji Chengjue stretched out his hands and rubbed his face vigorously,

Asked in disbelief:

"Surnamed Zheng, what do you mean, King Jingnan of my Dayan abandoned Dayan and me just like that?"

It's not a fake,

This is true.

To a certain extent, Ji Chengjue doesn't want Tian Wujing to leave even more than Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan can still sigh with emotion, this may be the best way, Lao Tian is chasing the enemy all the way to the west, and it is also a kind of exile for himself, because returning means facing endless pain.

Change the place and change the mood. Although it is a bit frivolous to apply this to Lao Tian, it is undeniable that it is actually useful.

But Ji Chengjue, the emperor, lost Dayan's true military god!

Father is gone,

The king of Zhenbei was also in poor health, and the memorial also mentioned that he wanted to ask for a seal for his son. In fact, this was an act of Tuogu.

Your Majesty, I'm about to die, my son, please give me some face, take care of me, and be gentle with me.

And Tian Wujing,

When he is in his prime of life and at the peak of his energy and blood, if he leads the army out, the morale of his own soldiers will be immediately improved. Once the enemy country knows that the Great Yannan King is in command, their morale will immediately drop by 20 to 30 percent.

the most important is,

Everyone thinks that King Nan's achievements are so high that there is no reward and no seal, which will become a great unstable factor for the country and the imperial power, but only the emperor Ji Chengjue knows that,

King Jingnan, it is impossible to rebel!

and……

The emperor raised his head,

Take a deep breath,

Looking at Zheng Fan who was also depressed sitting across from him,

and,

As long as Tian Wujing is around one day,

surnamed Zheng,

It is impossible to dare to make a mistake.

He is an emperor, and from the moment he stabbed the dagger into his father's chest, he has already been crowned emperor with his father's blood.

Getting along with Zheng Fan in harmony, or even "feeling like a brother", is not pretending, but he really won't refuse to have King Jingnan in charge, so that he can completely relax.

Now,

Dinghaishenzhen, left.

The emperor began to have a headache.

Eunuch Wei stood aside silently, looking at the two people in the imperial study room, feeling helpless and sad for one person's departure.

after a long time,

Zheng Fan took a deep breath,

reach out,

Wipe the tears that don't exist,

road:

"It's good, he's tired, so it's good."

"Zhen, it's very bad." Ji Chengjue beat his chest lightly with his hands, "I'm very uncomfortable."

"He will come back." Zheng Fan said.

"Did I tell you beforehand?" Ji Chengjue asked.

Zheng Fan shook his head and said:

"But he said that he would kill himself in front of Tian's ancestor's grave."

"..." Ji Chengjue.

"Going west, send more caravans over there to inquire about news. I, Great Yannan King, brought eight hundred knights with me. After going west, it is impossible that there will be no news.

Little six. "

"Um?"

"Let's hurry up."

"What's the meaning?"

"What about you, the emperor, restore the national strength as soon as possible, and let's destroy the Chu and Qianguo as soon as possible. After the reunification, I want to go to the West."

"Going west for what? An expedition?"

"Can't?"

"It's not impossible, you tell your uncle and the official of Qianguo to submit a form as soon as possible next month, and you will probably be able to march west by the end of the year."

"Little Six, let me talk to you seriously."

"I too, Zheng Fan, I know your mood, but my mood is actually several times more depressed than yours, but people of our status, we can't be chaotic, can't be eager, and haste makes waste.

Let's take our time, do it slowly, and be steady, but we can go faster, okay? "

Zheng Fan smiled, noncommittal.

"Wei Zhonghe."

"The slave is here."

"For Ping Xihou, serve a bowl of ginseng soup that I drank earlier."

"No need."

"You have to take good care of yourself. My eldest brother is not here now, so I can tell the truth. Old Zheng, King Jingnan is gone. King Zhenbei is watching the posture in the memorial. I also feel that he is going to chase after the emperor. up.

I, Big Yan, have lost two pillars of the country at once. As the emperor, I am equivalent to sitting under the golden palace who has lost two main beams. I, panic.

You gotta take care, you gotta hold on,

It was said before that you are Dayan's future military god, but now, the word "future" can be removed. "

"It's all right in the west, and the south is Qianguo. There is nothing wrong with me. Isn't Ganguo and Chuguo still fighting?"

"Just received the news that Ganchu has negotiated peace." The emperor said.

"oh?"

"Chu State has occupied a lot of cities, and then, Qian State plans to give Chu State some old coins, stop fighting, and negotiate a peace. Once they negotiate a peace, they will definitely point their fingers at me, Dayan."

"Can he have some backbone in running the country?"

"So, now we can't mess around, I plan to stabilize the two countries first, the most important thing is Chu, and Gan is one of them, and dare not fight against me Dayan alone.

Zheng Fan, after you return to Jindong, you have to suppress that uncle of yours, whether it's acting or doing something else, you understand this better than me, even if we don't want to fight now, we have to pretend that we want to fight His posture forced Chu State not to dare to make a real move. "

"I see."

"Two years, two years of cultivation and recuperation, we will start to take care of them slowly."

Ginseng soup is served,

Wei Zhonghe sent it to Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan waved his hand and said, "I won't drink anymore."

"It's delicious, not bitter, and tastes good." Ji Chengjue said.

"I just ate half a bowl of lard bibimbap at your uncle's shop, and now my throat is still tired."

"Oh, hehe, is it delicious?"

"You probably won't be able to eat it."

"Well, I ate it before. At that time, there was little oil in my stomach, and I was tortured by cornmeal every day. The lard is really fragrant."

"Let's not dig through it. Let's do it. Since King Jingnan won't be returning to the capital, I'll go back to my Marquis Mansion as soon as possible. If I stay in the capital for too long, it will delay things."

Actually, don't delay.

Because of Pingxihou's mansion, whether he is with Pingxihou or not, it will not affect his healthy and healthy operation.

but,

Lao Tian is gone,

Zheng Fan missed his godson more and more.

Distressed,

What a lovely and gratifying child, now, he really has no father or mother.

"Don't worry, we are not short of these few days. At the court meeting tomorrow, I will take advantage of the prestige gained by this great victory to clean up the court. I will work hard on you and help me put the pressure on the table again.

King Jingnan is gone, and you are now the representative of the entire Jingnan Army.

In addition, the coffin of the father will also enter the mausoleum in three days, and you will accompany me to send the father off. "

"Why, are you afraid?" Zheng Fan asked.

If others dare to ask this question to the current Emperor Dayan, they will surely die a miserable death, and they may even be punished by the nine clans.

But he, Ping Xihou, is an exception.

"I'm afraid it won't happen, aren't we good brothers?"

"uh-huh?"

"Brother's family has a funeral, don't you have to come to help? Besides, there is another matter. I have to choose a place for my mausoleum."

When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will often face two things connected together.

One is to send the first emperor to the mausoleum, and the other is to start building his own mausoleum.

"So anxious?"

"It's just a matter of choosing a place. I don't plan to repair it in the near future. It's a waste of money and food."

"Tsk, Your Majesty, I think, this can't be delayed, in case there is no place to lie down when needed, how urgent is that?"

"Oh." Ji Chengjue sneered, "What I mean is that I want to choose a place, and next to it, I will also reserve a place for you, Ping Xihou.

Let's make a good story about the monarch and his ministers. In the future, after death, we can be buried next door.

In the words of the history books, it is a great honor to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. "

"You must be sick. If the two of us are buried together, after thousands of years, maybe we will be played in TV dramas. Damn, it's disgusting to think about it."

"What TV show?"

"It's just singing, the libretto."

"This is naturally a match between the monarch and his ministers."

"It's not pretty. Let me tell you, either I coveted your beauty, so I didn't rebel, or you coveted my beauty, so you kept delegating power."

"It's up to you, but no matter what, there will be a space for you on the side of my mausoleum. If you leave early, you can live in first. If I leave early, you can heat the kang in the ground first. "

"Go to hell with you."

Zheng Houye yelled at Dayan's emperor angrily.

Ji Chengjue was really not angry at all, he got up and opened his arms, Wei Zhonghe immediately stepped forward to help her tidy up her clothes.

"Zheng Fan, I'm going to convene some important ministers to discuss matters in the Hall of Mental Cultivation later, so you can join me."

"I'm tired, I want to go back to rest and take care of myself."

"No, you have to go with me."

"I don't know what you're thinking? Isn't it just a great victory? You, who were tortured by Zhao Jiulang's death a while ago, have finally raised your eyebrows. Do you want to take the emperor's prestige in front of the ministers?"

"Oh, I thought you forgot who killed Zhao Jiulang."

"No."

Zheng Houye continued to sit there with his legs crossed.

"The surname is Zheng!"

"What?"

"Come with me. You can do more of these things now, and you can do less in the future. I have taken care of the affairs of the court. From now on, you can support King Jingnan in the war just like when your father was here." I support you now.

You fight your battle in the front, and I will be responsible for sending you food, grass, civilian husband and recruits in the back. "

"All right."

Lord Zheng Hou stood up.

Ji Chengjue walked out of the imperial study first,

outside,

The sun is just right.

Master Zheng Hou came out after him.

Ji Chengjue reached out and grabbed Zheng Fan's wrist.

Zheng Fan opened it.

The emperor reached out again and grabbed his wrist.

Lord Zheng Hou opened it again.

"Be cooperative, think about how I cooperated with you in the past, or what you told me at the beginning, life requires a sense of ritual."
