Lanling covered the moon

Entering Jinyang City, Zimo first went to visit the wounded old general Duan Shao in the big tent of the Qi army.

"His Royal Highness Lanling, why are you here?!" The old general looked haggard, seeing that it was King Lanling who came, he was about to get up from the sick bed to greet him.

"General Duan, lie down, lie down!"

Zimo was also very surprised, he didn't expect General Duan Shao to be injured so badly, he had never seen the old general look so tired and exhausted when he was in court.

Duan's army has always been accustomed to guarding the capital, and almost all the soldiers in the camp are the children of high families.

Coming to Jinyang, facing the three-way Zhou army's enemies, and the court cut off food and pay, it must have caught Old General Duan by surprise.At this moment, the old general was plotted against by the Zhou army again, and the Duan family army was indeed seriously injured.

"Father, I'm back..." Duan Yi followed closely behind Zimo, and then thought of him coming back from a defeated battle, so he hurriedly tapped the well water in the yard to tidy himself up a bit .

However, Old General Duan's sharp eyes, listening to all directions and seeing all directions, knew that Duan Yi had been besieged by Wei Xiaokuan long before he entered the city.He was about to go out of the city to rescue himself with his wounds, but unexpectedly, it was really a surprise soldier, the King of Lanling is here!

"Kneel down!" Duan Shao shouted.

"father!"

Duan Yi really didn't want to lose face in front of Gao Changgong, so he stiffened his neck and said stubbornly, "I have no other choice, if I break out, although there are nine deaths, there is still a chance!

You don't know that the morale of the soldiers in the army is low now. It is said that the court has such an attitude. Could it be that the throne is empty and the country is about to change hands, so you can't take care of yourself and don't care about the battle in Jinyang! "

"You...!" Duan Shao was so angry that his face flushed, he picked up the crutch beside the couch and wanted to knock it down.

Duan Yi ran away with his head in his arms, but Zimo refused to stop him. In order to keep the old general Duan from getting too excited, he said, "You don't have to be so angry, your majesty should be back in the palace soon, and these rumors will come to nothing soon. break."

"Really?!" Hearing this, Old General Duan held his crutches and didn't want to hit the villain anymore. Wang Zimo nodded, as if he let go of his heart.

"Great! I'll say that Your Majesty's auspicious person has his own destiny."

Old General Duan was the old Huai who comforted him, but Duan Yi suddenly said ambiguously: "As expected, when you Gao Changgong appeared, His Majesty the Emperor also returned to the imperial city. Should we say that we are inseparable or follow each other? "

"Shut up! You think I can't beat you to death, don't you! If His Royal Highness Lan Ling hadn't just saved you, you wouldn't have the chance to talk too much!"

Duan Shao has clear grievances and grievances. Although he didn't have any affection for Gao Changgong because he was Hu Lu Mingyue's apprentice before, but now it can be regarded as this moment and the other moment. This openness is also gratifying.

Zimo smiled and stopped the old general Duan who was about to get angry, telling him to rest.

"Yu Wenyong ordered Yang Zhong, Wei Xiaokuan and Da Xiwu to attack Jinyang with heavy troops, and they came here for you, General Duan. Don't be angry. Wouldn't those Zhou people be satisfied by getting angry and hurting your body?"

Taking a rough look at the wound on General Duan Shao's shoulder, it should have been hit by a heavy crossbow. However, with Duan Shao's skill and combat experience, it is impossible to be targeted so easily.

"But there is a hidden formation? The old general Duan Shao was caught by the arrow because he was unprepared?" Zi Mo asked.

"Oh? It turns out that you have already experienced Zhou Bing's cunning and cunning! Exasperating, exasperating!

Unexpectedly, I, Duan Shao, and this Zhou army have been fighting for decades, from Emperor Shenwu to now, I was still thinking about Wei Xiaokuan, Yang Zhong and Da Xiwu knowing that there is nothing to worry about. There are so many people trying to scare the people of Jinyang!

"I didn't think about it, the beauty is late, the hero is white-headed, and I am Duan Shao! I can't guarantee it in the evening, I can't guarantee it in the evening!"

Old General Duan lamented that he had enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the capital for so many years, and yet he was bullied by the people of Zhou. He was really ashamed of Emperor Shenwu and the people of Qi.

"No, the people who set up the formation are not your old opponents, General, but the fledgling Zhou Emperor Yu Wenyong.

In addition to being the fourth son of Yu Wentai, this Yu Wenyong is also the closed disciple of the divine monk Fo Tucheng.Since he was a child, he has learned the strengths of many families, learned the essence of martial arts from various schools, and is also good at setting up formations. Chang Gong and him had a battle in Mang Mountain. If it was not a coincidence, it would be difficult to get back unscathed. "

Zi Mo said.

"So that's how it is! What a formidable young man! The little emperor of the Zhou Kingdom is so capable, no wonder that Yu Wenhu also stumbled, and was imprisoned by this young man in Chang'an, so he couldn't come out to make trouble again.

The state of Zhou has such an outstanding rising star. Looking at my dynasty, apart from His Highness Chang Gong, it is really difficult to find a second young general who can rival that Yu Wenyong! "

Duan Shao stroked his beard and said with emotion.

Duan Yiben was still shy of his father, but when he heard this, he suddenly felt very depressed, so he said:

"As expected of Gao Changgong, King of Lanling, the Emperor of Zhou Kingdom has only been on the throne for two years, yet you know his details so well. Does it mean that His Highness Chang Gong has many eyes and ears, or that you have many friends?

I heard that Murong rushed back to the Yan Kingdom and became the emperor. When he was a foreign minister of Qi in Yecheng, he and your Highness were in pairs. Could it be that Yu Wenyong is also an old acquaintance of His Highness Lanling?Have you talked and laughed happily with your highness and have a good friendship? ! "

Zimo was taken aback, it seemed that what Brother Yan said on the road was not groundless.

Duan Yi didn't seem to be talking nonsense on a whim.

"I..." Just as Zimo was about to say something, Duan Shao raised his hand and threw the cup beside the couch viciously, and shouted:

"Nizi! You can't fight a war, but you are quick to grind your lips. It's embarrassing to my Duan family!"

"Father, I'm not the only one who said this!" Duan Yi retorted.

"The rumors in the market are only told by the foolish, and so are you, Duan Yi?!

Lanling King Gao Changgong is the grandson of Emperor Shenwu and the son of Emperor Wenxiang. His blood is from the Northern Qi royal family. His Majesty understands who he is. Your father and I know it well. Why do you need to provoke him?

Go down and get punished!Ignoring the military regulations and going out of the city without authorization, and being so bold as to humiliate my Daqi royal family, if you refuse to go by yourself, I will let someone drag you down! "

Duan Shao shouted.

Duan Yi was so angry that his face changed color, but he didn't dare to disobey his father, so he could only roll his eyes and go out to receive the punishment.

"Old General Duan, I..."

"Needless to say, I, Duan Shao, didn't get along with your master Hu Luguang because of his broken mouth and annoying people. As for the rest, I, Duan Shao, have no grudges against your master or Gao Changgong. Let's discuss the matter, you can come today Jinyang is enough to show his sincerity towards Daqi."

Hearing the words, Zimo stood up and bowed respectfully: "General Duan's open mind deserves a respectful bow."

"Okay, okay, don't be polite.

You have helped me a lot by being able to come. To be honest, my injury is not serious. If I didn't only have Duan Yi who is worthless by my side, I would have been able to take a good rest.Since you are here, I will give this thing to Gao Changgong first. "

After Duan Shao finished speaking, he actually took out an object from his girdle, and Zimo saw it was the military talisman of the Duan family army.

"This... How can Chang Gong accept it?" When Zi Mo was surprised.

"No, you are the one who will take care of the old man first. The old man is not doing well now, and this thing cannot be given to my idiot son, so I will first hand over this important task to His Highness Chang Gong."

Zimo looked at General Duan Shao's distressed state, nodded his head, respectfully took the talisman, and said, "When General Duan Shen arrives, I will give it to him."

"Haha, Your Highness is really smart, this old man has exactly that intention.

Although Yi'er is the eldest son, he is self-willed, so it's hard to become a master!However, Shen'er is still in Yecheng, so I don't know what's going on? "

"Your Majesty has returned to the court, and everything will be back on track. Don't worry about the old general."

Zi Mo reports good news but not bad news.

Gao Zhanlong's illness is related to the country and the country. Although he is very worried, he can't reveal half of it.

Now, soldiers can only come to cover up the water and earth, he said, Gao Changgong wants to protect the country of Qi through this difficult time, and he will surely get his wish!

. . . . . .

In Yecheng, in the imperial garden of the imperial palace, it is already full of peach blossoms in March and beautiful vines in April, full of vitality.

"Oh, Your Highness is so amazing~~ I have surrendered!"

Orioles and swallows, with laughter like silver bells.

A delicate-looking girl limply was thrown onto the grass by the little crown prince. Gao Wei lifted the white silk covering his eyes and smiled triumphantly.

"Stop playing, you're all fooling around and letting the prince down, it's boring!" Lifting the hem of his boa robe, Gao Wei got up from the maid, and walked back with the white silk in his hand feeling bored.

"What does Your Highness want to play? How about swinging?" The young girl with seductive eyes chased after her and said.

"Huh? That's a good idea. What about my lord? Why doesn't he come over there to play with the prince?"

Gao Wei looked at He Shikai in the gazebo over there, a little childish and pouted slightly.

He was coaxed by the maid to sit on the swing, with blue sky and white clouds above his head, green grass under his feet, and two little maids behind him to help push him. Gao Wei was only five years old, and soon became happy again. I feel very comfortable.

"Hahaha, my lord and my lord, come and play on the swing with the prince!"

His Highness the Crown Prince beckoned He Shi to drive over with his little hand, and the adults smiled and nodded at the young master.

In the gazebo, He Shikai is drinking authentic new tea from early spring in the south of the Yangtze River.The fragrance was tangy, and the left minister seemed to be in a good mood.

On the stone table in the gazebo was a thick stack of military memorials, and His Royal Highness He Shikai, the assistant prince, quickly divided the unprocessed official documents into left and right sides.

If he wanted to deal with it, he quickly picked up the ink pen and handed it over to the herald to send it down. If he didn't want to deal with it, he tossed it in the boiling water like the new tea, waiting quietly for it to toss up and down.

There were three people standing in front of him respectfully, with their heads bowed like saints, ready to ask He Shi anytime.

"Has the right minister's eyes improved?" He Shikai casually asked the imperial physician on duty in front of him.

The imperial doctor's face tightened, and he stepped forward and lowered his head and whispered softly: "It's much better, the right minister can already see things."

"What?!" He Shikai's face turned serious, he put down the ink pen in his hand, and looked at the man like a knife, "Who treated him? The truth is, I don't want Master Zu to work hard to let him rest in the house. Who dares to do this? eventful?"

"I'm telling you to the left, it's the Imperial Physician Order Master Guo." The man said timidly.

"Heh, it's this old man again! I, Daqi, have too many old courtiers who rely on the old and sell the old, so the government will be depressed. He dared to go out to practice medicine in the imperial hospital without the order of the crown prince, presumptuous!"

He Shikai said harshly.

With silver hair and blue eyes, he was a rare handsome man, but because of his hostility, his face seemed ferocious.

"Yes, you are right with your lord. Guo Shuhuai just relies on himself as the elder of the three dynasties, so he usually doesn't take anyone seriously."

The imperial physician said flatteringly.

"My lord, I have something to tell His Highness the Crown Prince." A man dressed as a military general didn't care about He Shikai's expression, and reported anxiously.

"Let's talk." He Shi let him continue without raising his head.The general looked at His Royal Highness who was swinging happily on the swing, and could only continue to report:

"Old General Duan Shao has submitted three requests for reinforcements in a row, and Jinyang's military pay and rations have been suppressed for more than two months. This is really hurting the country and our country. I heard that the old general was also injured. , if things go on like this, if there is an eventuality in Jinyang, I am afraid that Yecheng will be in crisis in an instant!"

He Shikai raised his eyes to look at the general, and said lightly:

"Of course His Royal Highness is aware of the importance of Jinyang's military defense and the urgency of military affairs, but the memorials written by Old General Duan Shao are all requests for orders from His Majesty the Emperor. Do you think it is hateful to treat the Prince as nothing?!

The crown prince's visit is just a small punishment and a big commandment, so that this family army will know how to distinguish the difference between the monarch and his subjects in the future, and it is understandable to punish him for the crime of belittling the young master!

Otherwise, how can those humerus veterans who hold the military power in my court wholeheartedly assist the prince in the future to keep the country safe and sound? ! "

. . . . . .

The general at the military aircraft department frowned and looked at He Shikai, and could only say yes with his hands clasped.

But he also knew very well in his heart that He Shikai took the opportunity to weaken the strength of the Duan family, and it was also for the purpose of weakening the old honors in the court and cultivating new nobles in the future.

Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor really can't come back?

Even if the emperor really disappeared and never returned, the crown prince is only five years old, and it is time that he needs the help of the old officials in the court, but this man is too selfish, and he can't wait to stand up and help the new lord, I am afraid that there will be no one in the court. Really let the foreign enemy take the lead!

"Can the back-up baggage of the Duan family army be ordered by the last general to leave for Jinyang today?"

The general reported eagerly again.

"Don't worry, it won't be too late to set off after Old General Duan is willing to respectfully present a request for help to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." He Shikai said.

"This... Alas!" The general blushed, and he was really anxious.

How did He Shikai, a civil servant, know that the rescue of soldiers is like putting out a fire, and the country of Qi is doomed!

As soon as he shook his hand, he turned angrily and left!

"What do you have to report to His Highness the Crown Prince?" He Shikai asked the last minister.

"My lord, this is a document sent by Zhou Guogang's envoy." The man submitted it.

"Zhou Guo?" Even He Shikai absolutely did not expect Zhou Guo's envoys to send documents at this moment, and his face was full of doubts.

"Yes, it is still the messenger of Emperor Yu Wenyong of the Zhou Kingdom. The minister is also very puzzled, so he can only present it to the left minister for a review."

Hastily tearing off the seal, He Shikai glanced at the ten lines on the document, and suddenly his eyes lit up, full of surprise.

"Hahahaha! God bless Daqi! Hahahaha, God bless Daqi!"

The minister standing below looked at it and couldn't help being even more curious.

"Could it be possible that the emperor of Zhou came to negotiate a peace?" The minister thought it was incredible, now that the Zhou army has won a complete victory, everyone in Qi is in danger, what is the purpose of coming to negotiate peace at this moment?Isn't this the weasel's New Year greetings to the chicken!

"Yes, it's peace negotiations! Daqi has his own blessing, and His Royal Highness also has God's blessing!" He Shi opened his eyes and smiled.

"This...is there a fraud in it? Zhou Guo has been coveting our territory for many years, how can he say that he will retreat when he withdraws? But he wants our country to cede land and ask for peace?"

"No, no, Yu Wenyong, the emperor of the Zhou Kingdom, not only does not want an inch of territory and an ingot of gold and silver from our Qi Kingdom, but he is also willing to return to Daqi the East Jingzhou that the Zhou Kingdom forcibly occupied decades ago."

He Shikai said with joy.

"It's really such a good thing?! Then what is Yu Wenyong planning? What are the conditions?" The minister was puzzled.

"Yes, the Emperor Zhou has only one condition - he wants Lanling King Gao Changgong to go to Chang'an as a hostage!"

He Shikai had deep meaning hidden in his eyes, and after finishing speaking with a playful and sly face, he raised his head and laughed heartily at the sky, making Gao Wei, who was playing not far away, keep looking this way curiously.

The author has something to say:

Ahh~~ I think it’s better to do it in one go.
