Devil’s Advent

Scent!

bow down!

Zhao Yuannian, who was dressed in a python robe, stood at the front, and behind him were relatives of the clan and officials of Chuzhou City.

There is one day in Qianguo every year, which is the etiquette of the clan.

On this day, whether it is the officials in the capital or the vassal kings from all over the place, they must be solemn and earnestly offer sacrifices.

Because this day is the official sacrifice of the Qian Kingdom.

Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong of the Qian Kingdom are brothers, and the day of official sacrifice is the day of sacrifice for the father of the two emperors.

Emperor Taizu's yellow robe added his body and seized the country. It is reasonable to posthumously confer titles to the previous three generations, and his father also received the honorary title of emperor.

After Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne as the emperor's younger brother, firstly, in order to block the mouth of the world, and secondly, to show his orthodoxy, he embedded his father's memorial day into the grand ceremony and set it as the public sacrifice of the world.

This means that the orthodoxy of Gan country has been promoted to his father's generation;

In short, it is to blur its sense of disobedience of taking the world from its elder brother, and to respect the father who started the family. The elder brother handed it over to himself, and in terms of etiquette, it was much more legitimate.

Emperor Renzong, the grandfather of today's Dagan official family, reduced the extravagance of the state sacrifice on this day and changed it to a clan sacrifice.

This Emperor Renzong has left an extremely beautiful mark in the history books of Qianguo. He has been in power for a long time, and he has always been frugal. The era was praised by scholar-bureaucrats.

But since his time,

The horse policy established by Emperor Taizong after the failure of the Northern Expedition began to gradually abolish, and the number of Qianguo cavalry, which was once slightly filled, began to decline, that is, the real number and combat power.

At the same time, the Southwest Tusi Rebellion appeared, and it was corrupted for decades;

The Northern Qiang rebellion started, causing disaster for one side, and once proclaimed itself king;

Pirates are rife along the coast, and a group of big merchants represented by the Wu family have almost become the uncrowned kings of the South China Sea;

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the largest peasant uprising started by local sects broke out in Qianguo.

It is said that

The third prince of the Yan Kingdom once submitted a book to his father, Ji Runhao, hoping to use the Renzong of the Qian Kingdom as a benchmark to establish a new guideline for the Great Yan;

At that time, there were many clans in Dayan, and the imperial power was under pressure. Officials loyal to the court were also trying their best to try to break this situation. The third prince just submitted his book.

Yan Huang Ji Runhao received the booklet, and soon issued a reward to the third prince.

But Eunuch Wei remembered that in the royal study that night, the emperor just shook his head casually after reading the third prince's excerpt, and said with a smile:

Renzong's benevolence lies in scholars; Renzong's virtue lies in scholar-bureaucrats.

It's a pity, my big swallow, there are few scholars.

Eunuch Wei remembered that the emperor broke the fold slowly, making a crisp sound.

in the future,

When Eunuch Wei came to the prince's mansion and witnessed Zheng Fan, who was just a garrison general, picked up the scabbard and threw it at the crotch of the third prince...

Crack!

In Eunuch Wei's mind, the scene of that night in the Imperial Study Room immediately appeared;

perhaps,

Some things are doomed early.

…

nowadays,

The identity and status of Prince Fu's Mansion has not been reduced, and it has even been raised much higher than when King Xianfu was there.

On the one hand, during King Xianfu's reign, he intentionally became extravagant and lustful, raising himself as a pig, and indeed turned himself into a fat pig. In the records of the court and officials, the court and officials have been admonishing King Fu to take good care of his body. Mo Fulu is too thick.

But, is it really just about your body?

Zhao Yuannian remembered that King Fu once said to himself,

In this world, unless your family members, others say you are too fat and advise you to lose a little bit, you think they are caring about you, but in fact, they are just watching your joke.

King Fu died in battle, and the cause of death was somewhat mysterious, because Mianzhou City was not breached that night, but King Fu was still decapitated.

later,

It is said that it was a garrison general who took the head of King Fu and went to King Jingnan to ask for credit;

Later, the garrison general climbed all the way, and finally became the king of Dayan's military exploits.

Ironically, because King Fu died at his hands, the death of King Fu was accompanied by the rising tide of that person, and the value of his death also rose.

There was even a saying that Fu Wang could have survived, but after seeing the garrison general, he sensed that he would become a big trouble in the future, so he took the risk to get rid of him, but unfortunately, he failed.

The death of King Xianfu left a political legacy to the Palace of King Fu. After all, King Xianfu settled down in Mianzhou City by order. The officials and the court felt somewhat guilty. reputation.

Unlike the former and current emperors of Great Yan, they were so harsh on the clan that they were almost shameless.

But now King Fu, after the Yan army broke through Chuzhou City, abided by the etiquette.

The Wen family betrayed the country, and moved to the country of Yan with the Yan army. Only by contrast can it be better highlighted. The Fuwang Mansion can be said to have withstood the temptation and kept the bottom line.

after that,

Zhao Yuannian, who was canonized to inherit the title, began to take the initiative to ask the court to cut his salary and treatment, in order to reduce the pressure on the court and train his troops to become stronger.

He took the lead in this way, and the other vassals were embarrassed not to follow along.

Next, there were a series of other things. In the name of the clan, Zhao Yuannian did not hesitate to sell his own class interests in exchange for favor from the court and officials.

Not only is Fu Wang's position as stable as Mount Tai, but his power is constantly being elevated.

The imperial court needed him, a sensible vassal king, to attack the clan, and for this reason, he would be willing to give some sweet dates.

nowadays,

In Chuzhou City's Prince Fu Mansion, the number of guards under its jurisdiction has been raised to five thousand.

Back then, there were two camps on the outskirts of Chuzhou City. When the Yan army invaded, one of the camps was transferred to the three sides, and the remaining camp was directly overwhelmed by the Yan army.

Now, there are three large camps in Chuzhou City, and there are also guards from the Fuwang Mansion outside.

When the Yan people went south that year, they tore the face of the Qian Kingdom to pieces. For this reason, the entire Qian Kingdom did expand its armaments after the war, and also eliminated a lot of water on the books as much as possible.

Especially in the north of Qianguo, because they realized that relying on three sides alone could not really stop the Yan people's iron cavalry from going south, they expanded their army among the major towns of various state capitals.

The purpose is to hope that when the Yan people want to go south again in the future, they can be stopped here, and they can no longer be flattened.

the end of the ceremony;

Zhao Yuannian turned around, thanked the clan and officials present, and everyone returned the gift.

It can be seen that the expressions of everyone are somewhat solemn;

This is not a deliberate expression on such a sacrificial occasion, but because bad news keeps coming from the north, especially from the northeast.

These days, some rumors have gradually spread in the city, saying that the Yan army will attack Chuzhou City again.

There was no way, I had been here before, and now I heard that Yan Jun seemed to be coming in again, so I would naturally think that Yan Jun was still coming towards my house.

so the people,

These gentlemen in Chuzhou city were naturally more disturbed.

I'm tired of being lonely, please wait a moment, I will go to the back house and ask my mother and concubine, and then I will meet with all your lords.

Your Majesty, do as you please.

Your Majesty, do as you please.

Zhao Yuannian bowed slightly and walked into the back house.

He has grown up and matured, his beard has grown, his python robe is on his body, and he sways slightly with his steps, he has the air of a clan and vassal king.

After what happened that year, he seemed to be a different person.

At the back, he stopped first and sighed.

Immediately, he reorganized his emotions and walked into the back house where his mother's queen was.

The eunuchs and maidservants outside tiptoed away under Zhao Yuannian's wave.

Zhao Yuannian stepped over the steps and walked in, seeing his princess and two side princesses kneeling on the futon with his mother.

They are also part of the clan, the men sacrifice outside, and the women in the back room are the same.

Zhao Yuannian looked at his mother and concubine. It seemed that the years had not left the slightest mark on her. She was still so familiar and gentle.

You all go down first, Gu and Concubine Mu have something to say.

Yes, my lord.

Yes, my lord.

The two side concubines supported the princess and went down together.

In the hall where the sacrificial objects were placed, only the mother and son were left.

Zhao Yuannian walked over and helped his mother and concubine get up.

Princess Fu got up and sat down.

Zhao Yuannian served tea, and Princess Fu took it.

Princess Fu said: I heard that there are a lot of officials here today.

Zhao Yuannian nodded, and said: A lot of news came from the northeast. For a while, it was said that the main force of the Yan army had entered, and for a while, it was said that a partial division of the Yan army had left the battlefield. King Pingxi's banner can say anything.

A few days ago, it was said that Lanyang City was taken down by the Yan people, but the latest news is that Lanyang City has been recovered by the government army, and the Yan army was repelled.

Princess Fu looked at her son and said, What does my son think?

Zhao Yuannian shook his head and said: It's hard to say, Marshal Zu is on the three sides, and Meng Shuai leads the army in Liangdi. The three sides are not stable, and they have dispatched several soldiers and horses to Liangdi. Meng Shuai thinks It's impossible to come back in time, the Yan people may make a fuss, and Meng Shuai will definitely think about it.

The relationship between Prince Fu's Mansion and Meng Gong is very good;

At the beginning, Meng Gong was dragged down because of his father's affairs, but he was depressed in middle age;

It was Lao Fu Wang who appreciated him and recommended him. In the end, Meng Gong fell into the eyes of Lao Zhong Xianggong and was able to rise in the army.

At that time, the Chu army was led by General Nian to invade the border, and it was Meng Gong who organized the army to intercept General Nian. That battle established Meng Gong's position in the army.

During the festivals, Meng Gong and Fu Wangfu also exchanged gifts and favors.

What mother means is, do you think he's here?

Zhao Yuannian understands,

Said: He is the prince now, mother, the prince of Yan country is different from the prince of our Gan country, no, I am the prince of the vassal, hiss... no, he is also the prince of the vassal, that...

The incumbent King Fu, who had a dignified demeanor during a sacrificial occasion outside, suddenly had his tongue and thoughts tied up.

Because his mother and concubine mentioned that person in front of him.

When the image of that person changed from the so-called Yan Guoping Xiwang to a specific person, the memory that had been buried for many years seemed to come up again all of a sudden.

well.

Zhao Yuannian sighed,

road:

He is in the country of Yan, and now he is under one person and over ten thousand people. Even the emperor of the country of Yan has to coax him into letting him go, and the crown prince of the country of Yan was even sent to him to be raised.

Since ancient times, the only reason for the feudal town to send protons to the capital is to go to him, but the opposite is true.

The son felt that there was no need for him to work so hard.

No, he's different.

Princess Fu said.

Zhao Yuannian froze for a moment.

Will my son be angry if Mother says that about him?

Son won't, son understands mother's sacrifice. If there was no mother back then, not to mention whether the son can inherit the noble title of King Fu, it's hard to say whether the Palace of King Fu will still exist or not.

In Zhao Yuannian's cognition,

His own mother and concubine had personally served that King Pingxi for one night.

But he didn't think that his mother was dissolute because of the situation at that time, the wolf-like army of Yan poured into Chuzhou City, and many families were destroyed.

If he wants to hate, he should hate that man, because that man once took his father's head to claim credit, and that man once asked his mother to serve him;

On this point, Zhao Yuannian's cognition is very correct.

At least, compared to those men who insulted the women around them because of their inability to protect them, but ended up insulting and hating women for their indiscretions, they were much, much more manly.

only,

What Zhao Yuannian didn't know was that King Pingxi didn't really have anything to do with his mother.

My own mother was ready to sacrifice at that time, but no matter what, she didn't fall for it.

Every time Princess Fu thinks of this,

In the early years, he secretly scolded that man for not knowing what was good or bad, and he was like that, but he refused to pretend to be aloof.

A woman's mind, no, to be precise, it's the human mind. After stripping away the big things, there will often be an unusual idea in a place that is absolutely safe in my heart.

Only later, I heard that the man was fighting all the way in Jindi, and heard that the man was at the height of the sun in the country of Yan;

Sometimes Princess Fu can't help but think,

That man's original reservedness\

,"Whether or not he has made up his mind in his heart, he will surely flourish in the future.

If we really want to compare according to the current status of the two parties, she is the old princess of the clan, and that one is a serious military king with a different surname. Even if I blatantly recommend myself as a pillow, in the eyes of outsiders, they will probably think that I am trying to win?

Of course,

Although that guy didn't really want him at the beginning, he didn't eat less tofu, and he advised himself to eat more, so don't lose weight. If you lose weight, it won't feel good.

this misunderstanding,

As a mother, I will never explain to my son, and I can't tell my son that that man didn't sleep with me;

It is impossible for the son to ask how that man slept with you in the first place.

The mother and son, each with their own thoughts and thoughts, just sat like this.

Princess Fu raised her head, looked at her son, and said:

In the past few days, my mother always dreams when she sleeps, and she is very restless.

My son is going to call for a doctor right now. Mother doesn't have to worry about external affairs. Mother has to take good care of herself.

Princess Fu bit her lips and said:

He's coming.

Where did mother learn about it?

Princess Fu stretched out her hand and pointed to her chest,

road:

Feel.

... Zhao Yuannian.

Seeing this, Princess Fu smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, Son, don't blame Mother for not being self-respecting.

Zhao Yuannian knelt down immediately,

road:

My son has no such intentions, my son will never think like this, mother, when my father was here, my son was a bit absurd and did not do his job properly.

Later, after the Yan army entered the city of Chuzhou, his son was even more frightened and made a lot of ugly appearances.

It was only thanks to his mother's help that the palace could be preserved.

Since then, in the past few years, my son has been reflecting and thinking about his mistakes. He has grown up and matured, and his son is not a jerk.

Since the mother has said this to her son,

It means that the mother is really worried that the son will not have time to react. It is the mother who thinks about her son and does not hesitate to damage her face. The son is grateful and grateful.

My son...

Princess Fu also knelt down and hugged her son's head.

Okay, mother said he's here, so that proves that among the news from the front, the one about King Pingxi personally leading the army to the south of Wogan Kingdom is almost the same.

Even, it is very likely that Yan Jun will pass by my Chuzhou City just like the last time a few years ago.

My son really believed what mother said?

Zhao Yuannian said: The first time is born and the second time is familiar.

Concubine Fu's face immediately showed a red glow.

Zhao Yuannian continued: Marching and fighting is an extremely dangerous thing. You can't give any mistakes in every step. Since you succeeded last time, why don't you continue to follow the same path this time?

Only then did Princess Fu realize that she had misunderstood what her son meant.

What do you want my son to do? Can the army outside the city hold Chuzhou City?

Zhao Yuannian shook his head and said, My mother didn't know something, but the officials bestowed grace on me, and my palace guards expanded to 5,000, and even led me to take part in the defense of Chuzhou City;

But these years, my son didn't dare to go one step further, and the guards belonged to my palace in name, but except for the rewards my son would give during the festivals, I didn't really install anyone.

Over the years, the imperial court has trained many new armies, and even transferred many generals and veterans from other ministries. As for the local soldiers and horses, it seems that the establishment has expanded, but the amount of troops, food, grass and military equipment has not been able to keep up with it in time.

There are many more soldiers and horses outside the city of Chuzhou than in the past, but in fact, it is still a show at the moment, and it is really going to fight... And if it is the one who leads the army himself, his subordinates must be the real elite of the Yan army, the son thinks ...

Zhao Yuannian shook his head at his mother and concubine.

Princess Fu immediately asked, Then what should I do?

Easy to handle.

The mother and son were startled at the same time. When they raised their heads, they found a dwarf hanging upside down from the beam.

The third master gave a crush, and landed smoothly in three and a half weeks of backflip and swivel.

It was our master who sent me here in advance.

After Zhao Yuannian was astonished, he immediately realized,

road:

Is your father alright?

Ask for a monthly pass, I will continue to code, hold everyone tight!
