I haven't made a system for many years.

In the 64th year of Jiayuan, the great defeat was great, the general Yan Xie died in this battle, and hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war were detained in Qi State.

The King of Dayue obeyed the advice of his courtiers, surrendered the letter to Qi, paid tens of millions of silver, and returned all the lands occupied by Dayue to Qi.

Emperor Jiayuan of Qi State, Dragon Heart Joy, sent the third prince to deal with the matter in Qianfeng City, Song Xun, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Zheng Xuan, Minister of Rites, as assistants.

Outside Qianfeng City

"Meet Your Highness the Third Prince!"

"Please hurry up, General Sima is very polite."

Meng Qing raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. He was a son of the royal family. His appearance and temperament were undeniable. He looked somewhat similar to his cheap cousin.

In a daze, the man stood in front of Meng Qing and said, "This is the great young general Meng Qing?"

Meng Qing calmed down and saluted, "The next official, Meng Qing, pays homage to Your Highness".

His sharp eyes swept over Meng Qing, "It really deserves its reputation when I saw it today" and patted Meng Qing on the shoulder as he said.

Meng Qing lowered his head, "I don't dare to be, but I'm just an ordinary man."

The third prince glanced at Meng Qing's face in an unclear manner, "Speaking of which, your surname is also Meng, and you are really somewhat similar to the God of War, General Meng Wei."

Meng Qing hurriedly knelt down, "The third prince is serious. Meng Qing is a reckless man, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and dare not be compared with General Meng."

The third prince knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly smiled and said, "I am ashamed to say that I have stayed in the capital for many years, and I don't understand the affairs of Qianfeng City. It is inevitable that all adults will help, especially Lord Song Xun."

Song Xun moved his hand, and said hastily, "The third prince is serious, and I will definitely do my best to help His Highness."

"The ministers should do their best," Sima Ji said in unison, leading all the officials.

The third prince laughed loudly, "Okay, today the palace is serving wine at the Zuixian Tower, and everyone will go together to thank you for your help."

A group of people followed the third prince to Zuixian Tower.

"Master Song, what's wrong with you? You don't look well, but are you sick?"

Song Xun waved his hand, "It's okay, maybe I've been a little tired recently."

Zhang Lingyuan showed worry, but the third prince's banquet cannot be shirked.

Meng Qing looked coldly at a group of officials surrounding the Third Prince. Even General Sima, who was always serious, smiled, giving the Third Prince enough face.

"It seems that the emperor really dotes on the third prince." Otherwise, why would he be sent to Qianfeng City to handle this matter.It seems that half of the credit for their victory will be given to the Third Prince.

Zheng Xuan smiled, "Is this not good? I can stay here for a while longer"

Meng Qing glared at him, really, he shouldn't have let him go like this.

"Your Highness, the old man Sima Ji has not let go until now, do you think he has voted for the Fifth Prince's camp?"

The third prince shook his wine glass, his eyes were cold, "He will regret what he did today."

"Kacha", the third prince let go of his hand, and a piece of white porcelain fell from his hand, "So what if you hold the military power? If you don't hold the sharp blade in your hand, there is no need for it to exist. Isn't the Wei family a very good example".

"My lord, if you are not feeling well, go back first, the third prince will understand you."

Song Xun shook his head, "Ling Yuan, I'll go back to the hotel first, you go and inform General Sima that I have important matters to discuss with him, be careful not to disturb anyone."

"understand".

"Try this, this is Zuixianlou's special dish." Meng Qing picked up a piece of barbecued meat with chopsticks and put it in Zheng Xuan's bowl.

Zheng Xuan's lips curled up, "It tastes good, but I still think your roast is the best."

Meng Qing grinned, "That's it", recalling the days in Zhengjiazhuang, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Meng Qing's eyes flashed, "Strange, where is Zhang Lingyuan going in such a hurry?"

Zheng Xuan snorted softly, "Where does he go, you also care about it?"

Meng Qing clapped her hands, a man who was jealous couldn't be offended. "The third prince is gone, and General Sima is gone, let's go back too, it's so boring to stay here."

Inside the hotel,

The dim yellow light was on and off, shining on Song Xun's face, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.

"Knock knock knock, knock knock knock".

A sudden knock on the door awakened the man who was in deep thought.

"Who"?

"My lord, the little one is here to deliver water."

Song Xun breathed a sigh of relief, "Wait a minute, the officer will come right away."

Song Xun opened the door, and when he saw the person standing at the door, his face changed, "Why are you?"

Zhang Lingyuan searched all over Zuixianlou but did not find General Sima, his face became anxious, at this moment a waiter happened to pass by, "Hey, wait, did you see General Sima?" Zhang Lingyuan stopped the passing waiter.

"General Sima? He seems to be drinking with all the adults in Xiting."

"Xiting, thank you."Zhang Lingyuan, who was in a hurry, didn't realize that there was a person following behind him.

"Why, Master Song is surprised?"

"Lord Song doesn't intend to let Ben Gong go in and sit around."

Song Xun's face was stiff, and he slowly closed the door.

"I don't know if adults know this?"

When Song Xun saw the things on the table, there was still something he didn't understand.

"Since you know, the next official has nothing to say."

The man brought the object close to the candle, and the object was instantly ignited and quickly turned into ashes.

"Master Song, you are so naive."

Song Xun closed his eyes, "Why?"

"Why? You don't need to know this."

Zhang Lingyuan soon realized that something was wrong, how could a small waiter know the whereabouts of General Sima?

As soon as he turned his head, he noticed someone approaching behind him.

"Bang", Meng Qing knocked him down.

"Are you okay? I saw this man sneaking after you from a long distance."

Zhang Lingyuan looked happy when he saw Meng Qing and Zheng Xuan, and then hurriedly said, "No, Mr. Song may have had an accident."

When the three of them rushed to the hotel, what they saw was the sky full of fire.

Zhang Lingyuan rushed in like crazy, Meng Qing grabbed him, "You are crazy, the fire is like this, are you going to die?"

Zhang Lingyuan collapsed on the ground, "I knew something was wrong with Mr. Song today. If I found out earlier, things might not be like this."

Meng Qing and Zheng Xuan looked at each other with serious expressions.

"Xiancheng, how did this fire come back? Mr. Song is still inside, can you be rescued?"

The county magistrate wiped the sweat from his brow, and said tremblingly, "General Meng, when the officials arrived, the fire started, and we don't know exactly what happened. As for Mr. Song, the officials really don't know." .

Meng Qing frowned, and was about to ask a question, when a deep voice sounded behind him.

"What the hell is going on, how did it catch fire?"

Meng Qing turned around and found that the third prince, General Sima and other officials had arrived, and it was General Sima who spoke.

The county magistrate thumped and knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling, "The lower official just found out that the hotel was on fire."

General Sima waved his hand, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, and quickly arrange for people to put out the fire."

Meng Qing looked at the fire that was spreading all over the sky, if Mr. Song was really inside, he would definitely die.

An hour later, the fire was completely extinguished, and the entire hotel was reduced to ruins.

A few soldiers dragged out a charred corpse from the ruins, "Report to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, General Sima, this corpse was found from Mr. Song's residence, if there is no accident."After that, everyone understood what he meant.

General Sima said in a deep voice, "Where did the fire start? Why did it start? When did you find out?"

"The fire started from the kitchen in the east. The adults in the hotel were not here today, so the servants went to rest. The fire in the kitchen city was not extinguished, so the fire started. The fire burned too fast. By the time people discovered it, the fire had gone to the west.”

The third prince was furious, "Who is serving Mr. Song? You let Mr. Song stay in the hotel by himself."

Zhang Lingyuan came to his senses, and quickly knelt down, "Master Song is not feeling well today, and he wanted to ask for leave, so he asked the younger one to go to General Sima to ask for leave first, but the younger one couldn't find him, and he was worried about Master Song's health, so he went back to the hotel , who would have known that as soon as he came, he would see the fire."

The third prince said angrily, "Even if he made a mistake, he still dares to argue! Someone, drag him down, and beat him back forty times."

Meng Qing's eyes flashed, "His Royal Highness redeemed his sins, and the officials can prove that what he said is true, and Mr. Song still needs to take care of the affairs after his death. He is following Mr. Song these days, so it is more appropriate for him to take care of this matter."

Seeing the third prince's complexion, Sima Ji said in a deep voice, "Meng Qing, you have overstepped. The third prince has always been benevolent and will definitely not hurt the innocent."

The third prince glanced at Zhang Lingyuan, wondering what to think, "Since General Si and General Meng have spoken, I will let you go, but you should do your duty and take care of Master Song's affairs."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your forgiveness."

Meng Qing glanced at Zheng Xuan, and their hearts sank.

The fire started strangely. It seemed that there were many things they didn't know. The two of them looked at Zhang Lingyuan at the same time. He might know something.

Then on the second day, Zhang Lingyuan disappeared suddenly and no one could find him anywhere. The third prince thought that there was something wrong with him and that he was the chief culprit who killed Song Xun.

Five days later, Yan Kun, the envoy of Dayue, arrived at Qianfeng City.

The third prince led all the officials to receive him at the posthouse, and the two sides started a ten-day-long contact.

"Yan Kun, what are your intentions when you shirked it for a few days?" Sima Ji asked with a serious face.

Yan Kun moved his fingers, "General Sima's words are serious. Our emperor sent an official to negotiate a peace. Naturally, we have to negotiate to make peace. Although we lost a battle in Dayue, it didn't hurt the root cause. My emperor is sympathetic to the people." There will be a truce, and the conditions you put forward are really embarrassing for us."

The third prince snorted coldly, "The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. You have no qualifications."

Yan Kun slapped the table and stood up, "Third Prince's words are too much. Although we have lost this battle in Da Viet, we may not lose every time."

Sima Ji frowned, "Yan Kun, this general feels a little uncomfortable, let's discuss this matter tomorrow."

Yan Kun shook his hands and left.

Sima Ji turned around and said to the third prince, "Your Highness, I don't know if His Highness has increased the conditions without authorization this time, can Your Majesty know?"

The prince said lightly, "Da Viet is begging us now, we have the absolute initiative."

Sima Ji was about to refute, but the third prince waved his hands and said, "General Sima, I hope you understand that this time, the emperor father will be in charge of this peace negotiation."

Sima Ji paused for a moment, "It's because the official has too much trouble, and the official is not feeling well, so I will resign for the time being."

The third prince waved his hand, signaling him to back down.The third prince said humanely behind him, "Your Highness, this General Sima is really paying more and more attention to you."

The third prince snorted coldly, "Don't worry, he won't be jumping for long. After the plan is successful, I will definitely give him a big gift, so that he can be with the Wei family."

"Confused, confused!" Sima sent back to the tent, venting his dissatisfaction loudly, "Da Yue is comparable to the power of Qi. Although we killed 10,000+ people and captured 10 people this time, it did not cause any fundamental damage to Dai Yue. Sexual harm. It would be too ugly for the third prince to sit on the ground and raise the price like this."

The staff said in a deep voice, "According to what I know about the third prince, he doesn't seem to be such a short-sighted person. Could there be some insider information?"

Sima Ji glanced at his staff, calmed down, and began to meditate.

In November, the weather is cold. After nightfall, people get into bed early and fall asleep.

"It really is you."Yan Kun turned around and looked at Humanity in front of him.

"You still dare to see me? My elder brother was killed by you in the battle of Qianfeng City, and Dayue was also defeated and suffered heavy losses. How dare you come to see me?" Straight cut over.

The man didn't move at all. Sure enough, although the long sword touched his skin, it didn't hurt him at all.

Seeing this, Yan Kun withdrew his sword, squinted his eyes and nodded appreciatively, and then said, "You were the one who sent me a letter last time, right? Now I've followed your request. It's time to tell me your purpose." !"

The man shook his head and said, "Do you know why your brother cooperates with me?"

Yan Kun remained silent, and the man continued, "I can give you the twelve cities north of Qianfeng City, as long as you cooperate with me."

Yan Kun was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

"You don't have to know who I am, you just have to say whether you want to cooperate with me."

Yan Kun thought for a while and said, "Then you have to tell me what I need to do."

"It's very simple, you just need to cooperate with me."

The corners of Yan Kun's lips curled up, "If so, I naturally agree, but should we write an agreement? Otherwise, what if you don't admit it when it's done."

"That's natural, this is a document drawn up by the palace, you just need to sign it."

Yan Kun glanced at it and signed it. After the man left, Yan Kun looked at his back and snorted coldly, "I really don't know who you are? I want to see what tricks you can do!"

After the two left one after another, the tree shadow moved, and a black shadow flashed past.

Yan Kun and the third prince were at loggerheads and refused to sign the armistice agreement for a long time.In Qianfeng City, the surface is calm and the waves are calm, but secretly, it is already turbulent.

After Yan Kun met with that person a few times, he secretly began to gather troops in Qianfeng City, and the battle seemed to be imminent.

In November of the 64th year of Jiayuan, a major event happened in Qianfeng City that shocked the government and the public.

The three princes colluded with Dayue and the generals in the army to join forces with the [-] prisoners of war in the city in an attempt to capture Qianfeng City.

General Sima and General Fuyuan Meng Qing turned the tide and saved the situation again.

Afterwards, it was discovered that the third prince had colluded with Dai Viet many years ago, and the peace talks in 63 was also his "masterpiece".As an insider, Song Xun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was brutally killed by him. The third prince's faction also detained the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites' documents in an attempt to hide the truth.

Fortunately, Song Xun was well prepared, and before he died, he rewrote a document and handed it to his entourage, Zhang Lingyuan.

Because Zhang Lingyuan was hunted down by the third prince, fortunately General Fuyuan Meng Qing rescued him in time and learned the secret.The two informed General Sima of the matter, and decided to stand still and do nothing.The third prince was secretly detained, and Zheng Xuan, Minister of Rites, played the role of the third prince, and dealt with Yan Kun, the general of Da Yue.

At the end of November, the two sides fought with Qianfeng City, and more than [-] people captured by Dayue died in this battle.Qi also suffered heavy losses, nearly [-] soldiers died in this battle.

When the news came back, Emperor Jiayuan was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the third prince and his henchmen. This investigation unearthed many shocking secrets.

Emperor Jiayuan was furious, demoted the three princes to common people, imprisoned in the mansion, and could not leave the mansion forever.

The third prince was Emperor Jiayuan's beloved son. After this incident, Emperor Jiayuan was mentally and mentally exhausted, and his health deteriorated. He handed over the affairs of state to the Eldest Prince.

After the eldest prince supervised the country, he eliminated all the party members of the third prince and excluded the faction of the fifth prince with excuses.

Meng Qing made outstanding military exploits many times and was appreciated by General Sima. In the next two years, he led the Qi army to counterattack and occupied more than 20 cities in Dayue, gaining fame.

Dayue was defeated again and again, and sent more than [-] cities in the territory to Qi State, praying for good relations between the two countries.

Zheng Xuan, the Minister of Rites, has repeatedly assisted General Sima and others to turn the tide of the battle. Emperor Jiayuan, because he was originally a member of the third prince, turned against him in the end, so he did not want to see him and did not award him a reward.

However, since Zheng Xuan entered the imperial court, he has repeatedly put forward many proposals that are beneficial to the country and the people, which won the approval of some courtiers, and his reputation has continued to increase.

In the 67th year of Jiayuan, Emperor Jiayuan was 78 years old at this time. Since the incident with the third prince, he has been lingering on the sick bed all year round, and all state affairs are handled by the eldest prince.

Unwilling to be relegated to the northwest, the fifth prince took the opportunity of returning to Beijing to attend the funeral and staged a coup.

Although the eldest prince has been in power for a long time, he was not reused by Emperor Jiayuan before, and his background is poor.

The civil strife in Qi began from this point. Years of internal and external wars, coupled with previous floods and droughts, made the people miserable.

The war lasted for a year, and the twelve princes assigned to Chenzhou Mansion mobilized the local people, formed an army, and joined the war under the banner of purging the government and the opposition. When the eldest prince and the fifth prince were both defeated, the twelve princes finally became The final winner.

This result was beyond everyone's expectations. Many courtiers believed that the Twelfth Prince was just reaping the benefits of a fisherman, but who knew that he had been lurking for ten years, cultivating his own power, and then stirring up this pool of water, fishing in troubled waters? .

After the Twelve Princes ascended the throne, they changed the name of the country to Jianing.

In the first year of Jianing, the Twelve Princes reversed the case for their mother’s Wei family. Facts have proved that the so-called collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country was fabricated by the then political enemy General Chen Zai. After the incident of the Third Prince, Chen Zai was also removed from his position by Emperor Jiayuan , exiled to the northwest.

Meng Qing resumed his identity as a descendant of the Wei family. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the political situation at home and abroad was unstable.

After Sima Ji resigned, Meng Qing took over his position as a general and stationed at the border. In the past few years, he repelled the covetous countries around Qi.

In China, the new emperor reused Zheng Xuan, the Minister of Rites, and became the prime minister at the age of 26.

Of course, what Zheng Xuan did was worthy of his promotion speed.In the past four years, with his help, Emperor Jianing quickly wiped out the ruling and opposition parties, and won over a group of poor children, which made Emperor Jianing's reputation in the cultural circle unprecedentedly improved, and he discovered many talents for the country and benefited the people.

The name Zheng Xuan also resounded throughout the country of Qi and even the surrounding families.Inside there is Prime Minister Zheng, outside there is General Meng, Wen has Zheng Xuan, Wu has Meng Qing, Dingguo Anbang, celebrities Qingshi.

But what is puzzling is that Zheng Xuan and Meng Qing have never been married.

In the seventh year of Jiayuan, the two resigned and returned to their hometowns. With the digging of their backgrounds, later generations speculated that these two celebrities and historical figures had an inexplicable relationship.Although there are pornographic things for them to talk about, the status of the two of them in the hearts of the people has not diminished at all.

After Zheng Xuan and Meng Qing returned to Zhengjia Village, many people in Qinghe Town and even Chenzhou Mansion were alarmed.

With the existence of two great Buddhas, Meng Qing and Zheng Xuan, plus, with the efforts of Zheng Xuan, Qi State opened up trade with other countries, especially Da Viet, and Qinghe Town instantly transformed from a border town into an important economic center within a few years. , was extremely prosperous, and the people of Qinghe Town, in order to commemorate Zheng Xuan and Meng Qing, built a shrine for them for worship.

Compared with the vigorous legends in the outside world, the secluded life of the two seems to be more ordinary but much warmer.

One day, the weather was fine and everything recovered.

Meng Qing looked at the increasingly mature and black-bellied Zheng Xuan and said, "Do you remember that you once promised me a condition, let me be on top"!

Zheng Xuan took a deep look at him, "Of course I remember."

Meng Qing said cheaply, "Then I ask for the promise to be exchanged now, you said you would not go back on your word."

Zheng Xuan leaned close to his ear and said ambiguously, "Of course I won't go back on my word."

Meng Qing was so excited that he pressed Zheng Xuan on the bed and kissed him.

The clothes came off one by one, the temperature in the room rose instantly, and the sound of heavy breathing echoed in the room.

"Um"

Meng Qing yelled impatiently, looked at the person below him confusedly, and said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you say that you let me be the person above, you liar!"

Zheng Xuan moved his hips vigorously, panting heavily, "Aren't you on top?"

Meng Qing slandered, shit, what I said above refers to the attack and the subject, not the body position!

Zheng Xuan pushed hard again, looked at him and said, "At this time, you are not concentrating, huh?"

Soon, the two fell into it.

"Congratulations to the host, this trial task is completed, within ten seconds, you will enter the next world"

"What?" Meng Qing felt the system's deep malice.
