Bright Spring

He was a little heavy and trembling, but after kowtowing, he knelt before the spirit and puffed out his chest.A sense of responsibility welled up in my heart.

Hearing the Taoist chanting and the crying of his family members, Zhang Fu kept silent.During the lengthy dojo etiquette, he thought a lot... Only relying on his father's merits and accumulation during his lifetime, such a large family will not last long.He, Zhang Fu, must build on the foundation laid by his late father and do more.

The dojo worked for a while, and the Taoist priests rested for a while.The guests came in one after another, bowed to Zhang Yu's coffin and coffin, and said something to Zhang Fu to comfort his family.

After Zhu Neng came in, he went straight to the coffin that was not covered with coffin boards, and squatted beside to see Zhang Yu inside.Everyone looked sideways, seeing that Zhang Fu hadn't said a word, they didn't step forward to interfere.Zhang Fu let Zhu Neng mutter inside.

There were a lot of guests here today. From this scene, Zhang Fu felt that the Zhang family's connections were still there, and everything didn't really collapse.

"King Yan is here!" Suddenly someone shouted.

Zhang Fu didn't care too much, he got up from the futon, went to the door, and greeted King Yan with a sad face.I saw King Yan and his three sons all coming, wearing plain robes.

Zhang Fu cried aloud and was about to bow down.King Yan supported him, "Zhang Fu, I'm sorry."

"Father's unfulfilled wish, son will do his best..." Zhang Fu cried sadly.

"Very good, with ambition." King Yan nodded.He then walked into the mourning hall, and went straight to the side of the coffin, looked at the corpse inside and said, "Zhang Yu, you left too early. You can rest assured and close your eyes. As long as I am here, the family members of the Zhang family will I will protect you."

Zhang Fu hurriedly said: "Father Quanxia knows, thank you for your kindness!"

King Yan sighed a few times, bowed to the coffin, then turned around, grabbed Zhang Fu's wrist and walked out, then turned back to his three sons and said, "You guys also go to salute."

The King of Yan pulled Zhang Fu outside under the eaves and said, "Generals in the palace, I am the closest to your late father."

Zhang Fu bowed and listened.

King Yan continued: "Before my eldest daughter-in-law mentioned that matter, she wanted your sister to be the second concubine, but your father... oh!"

"What the prince said is that the brothers and sisters of the last general must keep their filial piety." Zhang Fu said.

The concubine Shizi had mentioned this matter long ago, but Zhang Yu was noncommittal before, saying that he wanted to ask King Yan, but King Yan never mentioned it.

In fact, according to Zhang Fu's consideration, he coincided with his father Zhang Yu, and he didn't want to marry the eldest son so early at all in his heart!

In fact, he didn't think it mattered whether his sister was a concubine or not, but he thought it was too early... Now who doesn't know the credit of King Gaoyang, the second son of King Yan?Although the eldest son is the eldest son of King Yan, he is too fat and useless!I really can't tell what will happen in the future.

At this time, King Yan said again: "I agreed with it at first, and I was just looking for an opportunity to talk to your father. Now it will only be a while, and you should keep your filial piety for Zhang Yu first. But don't worry, your father is gone, and then I will replace you You brothers and sisters are the masters."

Hearing these words, Zhang Fu knew that everything was a foregone conclusion, and his little wait-and-see thinking was useless.

King Yan has already made up his mind, how dare Zhang Fu refuse?King Yan is still there, if Zhang Fu wants to show the intention of choosing a candidate, it is really a situation where his father dies and the Zhang family will surely end sooner or later!

Zhang Fu immediately bowed and said: "Everything is subject to the prince's arrangement."

Chapter 91 Punishment

According to the time, the first month is spring, but the first month in Beiping is still cold.

Early in the morning, Zhu Gaoxu crawled out of bed with great difficulty. He thought it was just an ordinary day in the cold first month; then he was summoned to Yanwang Mansion to discuss matters, and he thought it was just an ordinary war arrangement...

But as soon as he approached the front hall, he immediately felt the strangeness in the atmosphere.There were men in green clothes standing around the temple, with chain mail on their chests and weapons hanging around their waists, walking in different directions. At this time, it might be difficult for even a fly to fly in.

The last time I saw this kind of battle was when we were discussing military plans, and it seemed that this time was no exception.

The snow on the ground has not yet melted, but the snow on the stone steps in front of the hall has been swept away, and the remaining snow foam is mixed with the ashes when stepped on, making it even more slippery.Zhu Gaoxu walked up the stone steps carefully so as not to fall.

When he entered the front hall, he saw only a few people standing inside.Yao Guangxiao, Yuan Gong, Jin Zhong, and military generals Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, Zhang Fu, these people are all the most important civil and military descendants of Yan Wangfu!Even Fang Kuan and other generals from Daning were not there, so it can be seen that what was discussed today was a secret within a secret.

"King Gaoyang, King Gaoyang..." The generals first stepped forward to perform the salute.Then Yuan Gong and Jin Zhong also greeted each other, and Yao Guangxiao also gave Zhu Gaoxu a one-handed salute.

Apart from a little personal grievances between Zhu Gaoxu and Yao Guangxiao, the main reason is that they have unavoidable internal conflicts with the princes, but these are all secondary to the safety and interests of the entire Yan Palace... After all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes It is an unavoidable reality, so when Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Gaoxu meet, they will not be like enemies.

After a while, King Yan also strode in.Everyone stood up in order, clasped their fists together and bent down, saying, "Meet the prince (father)!"

"No." Yan Wang said, and sat down on the public seat.Then he said again, "I called everyone here today because I have a very important matter to discuss. You must keep your mouth shut and don't even talk about it when you go home."

Several people said one after another: "Take orders!"

King Yan clapped his hands on the armrest of the chair, and said: "After the battle of Baigou River, Dao Yan secretly entered into a strategy: don't go down to the city, face the river for a decisive battle, and rush to the capital!"

Several generals immediately muttered below.

King Yan raised his hand and pressed it down lightly, "I have the same concerns as some of you. If you can't cross the river, or you can't take down the capital, and the army goes deep, and there is nowhere to go, it must be very dangerous! Or It was Beiping that was defeated by the officers and soldiers of Shandong and Liaodong, and even their hometown was gone..."

Zhu Neng and others agreed one after another.

King Yan frowned and said, "But since the second half of last year, our army has fought several times in Zhending, Dezhou and other cities. These cities have changed hands several times, but we can't expand the territory, but continue to consume elite soldiers..."

He sighed, "There are now more troops in Yanwang's mansion than when we started the army, but those old brothers are getting fewer and fewer. At the end of last year, there was a battle in Dongchang, which caused heavy losses. Going on like this is not an option! Therefore, Dao Yan's method has to be considered."

At this time, everyone calmed down instead, because there was no better way to solve King Yan's problem.

Zhu Gaoxu even agrees in his heart. He doesn't like the triangular-eyed Yao Guangxiao, but he can't deny his knowledge... This person came to King Yan's side to subvert the world, and he didn't know how many ways to rebel After all, if there is a better way, Yao Guangxiao will not ask Yan Jun to take risks!

King Yan looked around and said again: "If there is no proper preparation, it will definitely fail! The river has been naturally dangerous since ancient times, and a weak dynasty in ancient times can rely on natural danger to support it for decades. The capital is also a big city and important town. The emperor carefully built it as his foundation.

If I wait for the strong attack and cannot break through, if there is a slight delay, the army of the waiting king will gather, and our army will be trapped!Therefore, there must be an internal response. "

At this moment, Yao Guangxiao spoke up: "There are two people in the capital who can win over. The old man asked someone to get in touch with the most important one of them, but he didn't trust our people, and instead suspected that it was a trap set up by the political enemies of the court!

Later, the old monk asked King Yan to write a letter and send it to the capital.But that person was not familiar with the prince's handwriting, and he didn't dare to search for the prince's handwriting or find someone to check it, and he was still suspicious. "

Who is this guy?The first thing Zhu Gaoxu thought of was Li Jinglong, the most trusted person in the world, but there are many reasons why he might fall to King Yan.

Yao Guangxiao went on to say: "My old guess, that person should worry about two things. One is whether the person who contacted him is one of our people; the other is whether the Yan Palace is sincere and will repay it in the future. So we took the prince When I contacted him personally, he left a word... The man said: The Holy Majesty treats him with great kindness, even if Prince Yan and his son come in person, he is not very willing to betray the Holy Majesty."

King Yan pondered and said: "That man just wants my father and son to talk about it in person, otherwise why mention this sentence?"

Yao Guangxiao nodded slightly.

King Yan took a deep breath and said solemnly: "This king, let's go!"

Everyone was stunned, and immediately objected and dissuaded them, "How can that be done?" "The prince is in charge of the overall situation, how can he take risks alone..." Several people talked at once, and they couldn't understand some words.

King Yan shook his head and said: "It's a very important matter! If this matter is not guaranteed, the strategy of rushing to the capital will never be realized. The people in the court are worried, why is this king not worried? If that guy is falsely surrendering, our entire army They all fell to the capital city!"

Zhu Neng said: "Your Majesty's noble body, no matter what, you can't take risks. If it's not possible, brothers will fight to the death on the battlefield!"

King Yan's face was heavy, and he said: "It's the third year that we have fought against the whole country in Beiping. If we continue to spend like this, we will run out of capital, and we will never recover!"

He paused for a moment and then said: "In the battlefield, there are mountains of swords and seas of fire. Didn't this king personally lead the troops into the battle and take several adventures? Speaking of adventures, since we started our army, when have we not been fighting with our heads up?"

While following several people to dissuade Zhu Gaoxu, he also muttered in his heart: Looking at the situation, do you really want me to go? !

The situation is still developing, but Zhu Gaoxu really doesn't want to say that!You can be upright about other things, but this kind of thing, if you have a way, you must hide!

The two armies are incompatible with each other. After fighting for two years, there are no casualties. Going to the capital of the imperial court at this time is really risky... Once the news leaks, it is very likely that there will be no return!Besides, King Yan also said he was worried, did "that person" in the capital really want to surrender?
