The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"They took off the father-in-law's clothes, knelt on the platform naked, and beheaded him in front of [-] soldiers, and used the father-in-law's blood to sacrifice the army flag!"

Chapter 19 Empress Dowager Min's anger!

"They also went down to the pass to fight to the death with the Jin army. We heard the news on the way back, and they all resolutely wiped out 30 elite Jin troops, and broke Huangshi Pass!"

"Yeah, they are simply too much!"

"They also said they wanted to kill you, Queen Mother!"

The six imperial guards all looked terrified. You said something to each other. Except for a few insiders who could understand the general meaning, the rest of the military officials who didn't know were dumbfounded. Battle to the death, what annihilated 30 Jin troops, what broke Huangshi Pass, what is going on!

"It's so interesting, haha!"

Yingchang laughed in his heart, no matter what Duyi's reason for resisting the decree, anyway, what he valued was Duyi's annihilation of 30 Jin troops, 30 Jin troops, at least the Jin Empire could not be slowed down for five to ten years, This relieved the pressure on him to attack the Jin Empire in the future!

"Shut up for the Ai family, and talk to yourself!" Empress Dowager Min's face turned green and pale, especially when she heard that Biao Zi's clothes were taken off, her heart suddenly burst into a monstrous anger!

It didn't even occur to her to kill her. Du resolutely resisted the edict. You know, there are more than 300 members of Du's family in the capital. Aren't they afraid of punishing the nine clans?Not only did she not think of it, Wei Huai, Qiu Yisheng and others didn't think of it, and the military officials even couldn't think of it.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, we traveled long distances for a month to convey His Majesty's imperial decree to Yu Duyi, but that night, the captain, headed by Du Changjing, drew his sword to demonstrate to us, and dragged us out without saying a word. Afterwards, after a long discussion, they finally killed Biao Gonggong, and led fifty thousand ever-victorious troops to the pass to fight to the death with the Jin army!"

"Du Yi didn't kill us, maybe he wanted us to bring the news back. On the way back, they heard the news that Du Yi annihilated 30 Jin troops and broke Huangshi Pass by surprise. Then we speeded up and rushed back overnight!" A royal guard told the whole story.

But when the military officials heard these words, they still didn't understand. For example, why did General Du Yi resist the decree? Was the family punished for resisting the decree?

The only question everyone has now is what is this purpose, and what is the purpose that can force General Du Yi to rebel.

An old official who was over [-] years old cautiously got up from his seat, walked to the center of the hall, and bent down to the Empress Dowager Min, saying: "Empress Dowager, General Du Yi has always been loyal to the Great Qin. What is the purpose of the Queen Mother, please ask the Queen Mother to clarify!"

This old official is the second-rank minister of the current dynasty, Tang Zemin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

"Hmph!" Empress Dowager Min snorted coldly, stared coldly, and said with an extremely cold expression: "Are you saying that the Ai family forced Du Yi back?"

"I dare not!" Tang Zemin bowed his head and replied.

Empress Dowager Min took a deep breath, and then said in a cold tone: "As we all know, since the establishment of the army, the Changsheng Army has always been in charge of the Du family. Worried that Du Yi had the intention of treason, he ordered him to report against Beijing to test whether he had any objection, but after this test, all the lovers saw it, could it be that the Ai family did something wrong for the stability of the Great Qin State?"

Empress Dowager Min's words for the stability of the Great Qin State completely blocked Tang Zemin's next words.

Although the ministers still had doubts, they did not dare to continue asking.

Tang Zemin sighed softly in his heart, and slowly walked back to his seat, with a look of sadness on his face. Even if the Great Jin Empire suffered such a heavy blow, he would definitely not let it go. The next aftermath is the biggest problem!

At this time, Yingchang also thought about the aftermath, the joy in his heart disappeared instantly, and he couldn't help but worry in his heart.

"This Duyi is simply arrogant. His behavior has already torn the face of the Great Jin Empire. How could the Great Jin Empire be willing to let it go after such a heavy blow!" Wei Huai cursed angrily.

The abacus was well calculated, but suddenly someone turned the abacus away.

Hearing Wei Huai's words, all the ministers thought of the aftermath. The 30 elite army of the Jin Empire was annihilated, and the door was lost. No one can bear it!

"Since ancient times, the Qin and Jin Dynasties have been good and have been talked about by others, but now, alas!" Qiu Yisheng also sighed softly.

"Now we and the Jin Empire are completely torn apart. No matter how we explain, the Jin Empire will not listen. Now there are only two roads before us. The first road is to lose money and cede the land to appease the Jin Empire. Two ways, break the pot and smash it, and immediately dispatch the army to attack the Jin Empire!" Chang Zifei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said aloud.

When Queen Mother Min heard these words, the corners of her mouth twitched...

"That's right, the regular troops of the Jin Empire are only 40. This time, 30 were lost. The national elite is less than 15, and we still have [-]. With the three tiger generals of the Yang family and Prime Minister Wei, it might be impossible to defeat the Jin Empire!" Shangshu Jiang Xin also echoed.

Ying often heard this, and laughed in his heart. He can guarantee that the mood of Queen Mother Min and others must be very bad now. They originally thought that they could steal the country, but they did not expect to backhand.

"Ridiculous!" Empress Dowager Min said with a gloomy face and a cold tone: "The goodness of Qin and Jin was achieved through the joint efforts of the Great Qin Emperors and the Great Jin Emperors. This is also their long-cherished wish and the wish of the people of the two countries. Yi privately leads troops to attack the Jin Empire, which is already risking the displeasure of the world!"

"If we continue to send troops to attack the Jin Empire, how will the people of the world view us? How will the countries of the world view our Great Qin? Will future generations think that our Great Qin is a country that breaks promises and betrays righteousness? The sage said, if you know your mistakes Change, now we have time to remedy it!"

Wu Baiguan fell silent, Qiu Yisheng and Wei Huai were expressionless, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Ying Chang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and sure enough, he only heard Queen Mother Min continue to say in a deep voice: "Du Yi's crime is unforgivable, and the decree of mourning the family was passed on. Alright, against the long-cherished wish of the past emperors, kill the nine clans of the Du family!"

"The minister accepts the order!" Wei Huai stood up and responded solemnly.

"Queen Mother, isn't it too reckless to do this? How can you conclude that General Du Yi has rebelled just based on the verbal words of the six little guards? Yichen sees that someone should be sent to investigate the matter immediately, so as not to hurt innocent people." , It’s chilling for the soldiers!” Tang Zemin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, said with a sad face.

"Yeah, now there is no proof, so we can't make a conclusion lightly. If he is killed by mistake, General Du Yi may really turn against him, and the soldiers at the northern and southern borders will not accept it!"

"General Du Yi's reputation is far and wide. If he is killed by mistake, the consequences will be disastrous. Please think twice, Queen Mother!"

Chapter 20 Chop all over the door!

Many ministers stood up and said.

Ying often sees these people bravely stand up, and he is very pleased in his heart. Although the Queen Mother's party controls the government, not all the people in the court are from the Queen Mother, and there are many ministers who are loyal to the Great Qin and to himself.

Empress Dowager Min frowned slightly, lost in thought...

"Report!"

At this time, another Imperial Forest Army came in from outside the hall. This Imperial Forest Army ran to the center of the hall, knelt down on one knee, and reported to Empress Dowager Min: "Report to Empress Dowager, Governor of Hedong County, please see me!"

"The Prime Minister of Hedong County?"

"Why is the governor of Hedong County here? Could it be that he is here to report about Wu Jin?"

The military officials once again discussed that the east of Hedong County is Wujin Pass, which is under the jurisdiction of Hedong County.

Since the Prime Minister of Hedong County, many ministers have understood that it is true that they all resolutely resisted the decree, because according to common sense, when Hedong County wants to report things, only small officials are sent. , Now Juncheng came in person, indicating that the matter was urgent, and it was very likely that it was Du Yi's rebellion.

"Xuan!" Empress Dowager Min hurriedly preached, impatient to convict the Du family.

"Yang Guang, Prime Minister of Xuandong County, see you!" Li Sanfang shouted loudly outside the hall!

After the words fell, Yang Guang, who was kneeling outside the hall, trotted into the Fengtian Hall immediately. When Yang Guang came to the center of the hall, Yang Guang knelt down on one knee facing Ying Chang and wrote a report: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I will serve you as the governor of the county." The order returned to Beijing to send a letter, Du Yi, the commander of the Changsheng Army, went to Xiaguan on the night of February 30th to fight with the Jin army in Guanxia, ​​and [-] Jin troops were wiped out in this battle, and then Huangshi was captured the next day!"

"When the governor heard the news, he immediately sent a thousand jugs of fine wine and a thousand pigs to Huangshiguan as rewards to all the soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army!" Yang Guang was very excited with a smile on his face.

Now the people of Hedong County already know that the front line has won a great victory, but they don't know that Du Yi is an action made against the order. The people of Hedong County think that the imperial court ordered Du Yi to go to the pass to attack the Jin Empire, so the county guard got the news , Without further ado, I sent wine and meat to reward.

"boom!"

Empress Dowager Min threw the wine glass angrily, and smashed it hard in front of Yang Guang. Yang Guang was startled, subconsciously shook his head and glanced at both sides of the hall, and found that all the military officials were frowning, and the Queen Mother was furious. Seeing this, Yang Guang was even more confused.

Isn't this good news? 30 Jin army elite, this is an unprecedented victory, why are the ministers sitting here and the queen mother so angry?Could it be that they all betrayed?Into the den of thieves?

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager...what the...what...what happened?" Yang Guang said hesitantly.

"What happened?" Queen Mother Min sneered.

Empress Dowager Min was about to explode with anger. At this time, the sheriff of Hedong County sent something to the Changsheng Army. Didn't this mean to tell others that this was the intention of the Daqin court?

Seeing this, Li Sanfang said expressionlessly: "The Empress Dowager ordered Du Yi to return to Beijing to report on his duties, but Du Yi disobeyed the order and killed the father-in-law who passed the order. In order to harm Great Qin, Du Yi did not hesitate to destroy the relationship between Qin and Jin Alright, let’s fight against the Jin Empire and risk the disgrace of the world, just now, the Empress Dowager has issued an order to kill the nine clans of the Du family!"

"What?" Yang Guang was stunned, his eyes widened.

"This...how is this possible? General Du has been serving Daqin all his life. He is so loyal. How could he do such a thing!" Yang Guang didn't believe that Du Yi would rebel.

"How is it impossible? Now that the facts are before your eyes, you still don't believe it. Could it be that you want to rebel too?" Empress Dowager Min shouted coldly.

"I don't dare, I beg the queen mother to calm down!" Yang Guang quickly kowtowed to apologize.

"The fact of Du Yi's rebellion has been established, let the world know it immediately!" Empress Dowager Min shouted coldly.

"I will obey your orders!" All the military officials responded in unison, no one came forward to say that there was something strange about this matter, and the matter of Du Yi's rebellion had already been confirmed.

Next, all the military officials left one after another, and Wei Huai also took the imperial army out of the palace. That night, a member of Du’s family 360 was brutally killed, and the news of Du Yi’s rebellion quickly spread. It has to be said that six of them returned to Beijing. The reinstated Imperial Forest Army disappeared inexplicably...

At the moment of Haishi, Xianyang Palace!

In the bedroom of Xianyang Palace, Ying Chang was sitting on the side of the dragon couch in a daze, with a look of sadness on his face. Bai Qi, who was imprisoned in the iron cage, saw Ying Chang's expression and couldn't help asking: "Look at you, Did something bad happen?"

Yingchang shook his head, "I don't know whether this is good or bad. I was watching a play in Fengtian Temple today, and a big show was staged later. They said that Du Yi, the commander of the Changsheng Army of the First Tiger Division of the Great Qin Dynasty, rebelled. Lead 30 soldiers in a bloody battle at the pass, behead [-] elite Jin troops, and break Huangshi Pass!"

"Isn't this a good thing?" Bai Qi asked with some doubts.

"This incident was a good thing at the beginning, but it is not a good thing after that. The three hearts of the empress dowager, the prime minister and the Taifu are attached to their mother country. They were going to steal the Great Qin, but now they are resolute and disrespectful, and they have severely damaged their mother country. How could they Let it go, if my guess is right, the queen mother's next step is to pay compensation and cede land to appease the state of Jin, and I think it is definitely not that simple for Du Yi to rebel!" Ying Chang said worriedly.

Fighting back and forth, Daqin still cannot avoid losses!

"How about Du Yi?" Bai Qi asked again.

Ying Chang shook his head again and said: "I don't know, but judging from the expressions of all the officials, Du Yi should be a loyal person. When those ministers heard that Du Yi rebelled, they all showed disbelief, so I Only then did I think that Du Yi's rebellion was definitely not because the Queen Mother ordered him to report his duties against Beijing!"

"Then it's definitely different!" Bai Qi said with certainty.

"Phew!" Ying Chang let out a deep breath, with a helpless expression on his face, he said: "No matter what is different, it is not what I need to care about at the moment, everything will follow, just wait and see how it changes!"

Yingchang’s protection is age, and helplessness is also age. If he is now [-] or [-] years old, it should not be a problem to launch a palace change to seize power. After all, there are still many people in the court who are loyal to the Ying family, such as Yang Guang, the governor of Hedong County, When he came, he first worshiped himself and then the queen mother, which showed that in his heart, the emperor will always be the emperor, even if he is young.

Bai Qi didn't answer and chose to remain silent.

Tonight is tragic. The 360 ​​members of the Du family were massacred by the Imperial Forest Army, and the [-] family members of the generals of the Changsheng Army were also slaughtered. The night in Xianyang seemed to turn red, and one could smell it from far away from the capital. Strong bloody smell.

Chapter 21 Emperor Jin's heart is bleeding!

At the same time, Jinling City, the imperial capital of the Great Jin Empire, the Imperial Palace, and the Taihe Palace!

The Taihe Palace is the residence of the Jin Emperor. In the Taihe Palace at this time, dozens of oil lamps are lit to illuminate the main hall of the Taihe Palace. On the high platform above the main hall, a man about 30 years old sits firmly on the dragon On the chair, this man was dressed in a yellow dragon robe and a golden crown on his head. He was heroic and handsome. He was a man standing at the pinnacle of power in the Great Jin Empire.

The emperor of the Great Jin Empire, Min Ziyi!

Emperor Jin's eyes were shining brightly, and he looked at the territory map on the imperial table blinking and blinking. After a while, Emperor Jin picked up the brush next to him, dipped it in a little ink, and wrote in the area of ​​the Great Qindong and Huainan counties The next "Jin" character!

After finishing writing, the corners of Emperor Jin's mouth curled up, and his eye sockets became moist involuntarily. He only watched Emperor Jin look up at the night outside the palace, and muttered to himself: "Father, all the former emperors, the Great Jin Empire In my hands, the rising sun is rising like the sun. It won't be long before the Great Jin Empire will be able to capture the Qin Empire's Hedong, Huainan and Wujin Pass, one of the top ten passes in the world. splendor!"

"Hahaha!"

After the Emperor Jin talked to himself, he burst out laughing again...

step..step..

Suddenly at this moment, an old eunuch walked in outside the palace. This eunuch was able to enter the emperor's bedroom without notification. Naturally, he was not an ordinary eunuch. It's called Fu Sheng!

Fu Sheng's face was a bit ugly at this time, with a hint of fear in his expression. Seeing Fu Sheng's expression, Emperor Jin couldn't help frowning slightly, "Didn't I tell you to wait outside?"

Without saying a word, Fu Sheng took out a memorial from his sleeve nervously, walked up to the high platform with trembling hands, and handed the memorial to Emperor Jin. Emperor Jin had a bad premonition in his heart, and accepted the memorial nervously , when unfolding it, Emperor Jin's eyes almost popped out!

Huang An urgent report: Your Majesty, Qin General Du Yi led a 30 victorious army to attack the Hussar General's camp at night on February [-], resulting in the annihilation of the [-] Jin elite army. The next day and night, Qin General Du Yi Jingqi seized Huangshi, and Huangshi fell. On the second day, more than [-] victorious troops marched towards Huang'an. Zuo Lan, the county magistrate of Huang'an County, begged His Majesty for quick support!Seal of the magistrate of Huang'an County

"This... how is this possible!"

Emperor Jin had an incredulous look on his face, his eyes were wide open, and his mind was a little dazed. All this happened so suddenly, how could the Qin Empire go out to attack the Jin army?This is not at all the same as my sister's plan!

"Where is Li Jiang? Where did Li Jiang die?"

Emperor Jin's eyes widened with anger, veins popped out of his forehead, and he made a deep, beast-like voice.

"General Hushi also died. According to reports, he died suddenly of a chest attack. Coincidentally, on the day of his sudden death, the Qin army launched a night attack!" Fu Sheng replied cautiously with his head down.

The current Emperor Jin is a wounded beast, very sensitive, if he is not careful, he will become manic and furious.

Emperor Jin raised his hand to cover his forehead in pain, blood was dripping from his heart, and he lost 30 elites at once, which was the heaviest injury in the history of Dajin in more than 100 years. He slapped him hard.

"Damn Du Yi, damn Qin, if you don't avenge this revenge, I swear that you will not be a human being, and immediately send the prime minister into the palace to discuss matters!" Emperor Jin shouted with an extremely angry expression.

"Obey!" Fu Sheng hurriedly left the Taihe Palace as if he had received an amnesty.

"Snapped!"

"A group of idiots, trash, 30 to [-] and still wiped out, Li Jiang, you bastard, what are you doing!"

"Bang!"

"Trash, it's all trash!"

As soon as Fu Sheng left, Emperor Jin became even more agitated. The furnishings on the imperial table and the surrounding porcelain all fell to the ground fiercely. Trembling, not daring to make an extra sound.

After about two sticks of incense, Qiu Yixiao, the Prime Minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, finally came to the Taihe Palace. Qiu Yixiao was the eldest son of Qiu Yisheng. He wears a silver hairpin engraved with the pattern of a white crane, and wears a dark blue official hat with two red ribbons hanging on the curtain corners of the official hat.

The official position of the Jin Empire is the same as that of the Qin Empire. It is also a six-part nine-rank system. Officials from the sixth to ninth ranks have copper seals with yellow ribbons, officials from the third to fifth ranks have silver seals with green ribbons, and officials from the first to second ranks have gold seals with red ribbons. The seal is the official seal, and the ribbon is the official seal. A strip of cloth hanging from the corner of the hat curtain.

These are all symbols of status!

As soon as Qiu Yixiao walked into the main hall of the Taihe Palace, he was frightened by the scene in front of him. He thought he had gone to the wrong place. This is not the emperor's palace, but the warehouse of the Porcelain Manufacturing Department. Look, the floor is full of It is a shard of porcelain.

Qiu Yixiao walked cautiously, for fear that his feet would be cut by broken porcelain.

Emperor Jin dropped so many things, and the anger in his heart was also vented. Emperor Jin sat on the dragon chair, watching Qiu Yixiao approaching quietly.

At this point, Emperor Jin also understood that it is useless to be angry at this time, anger will only make you lose your mind, look how calm this prime minister is.

Chou Yixiao wasted a little effort, and finally walked safely to the high platform. After he got there, Qiu Yixiao bowed to Emperor Jin with a smile and saluted: "Chou Yixiao, see Your Majesty!"
