Three anecdotes

Chapter 176 37

Cardinal Jin had never knelt so aggrieved before. The land in Chu was damp and damp. Even though it was August, the rain never stopped.The coolness of the night came up, and my knees were pressed against the platform paved with Qingyunying jade brought from Suzhou, which had been raining for several days. What was reflected in the bones was full of moisture. Cardinal Jin was shot in the shoulder by Shang Yuhan The hole was so open that it looked like countless ants were desperately eating away at the old dead tree. He knew that his father would not be able to get over his anger until he fell, but if he fell, Shang Chengbi on the other side of the river would never let him down easily. dry rest.

Kneeling until the next dawn, Jin Yuwang finally came out to see him in person, seeing that his face was as white as paper, and he was hanging on his breath with all his strength. In front of the little eunuchs lined up in a row, his father said condescendingly, "How can you?" I know I was wrong."

Cardinal Jin's eyes were only on the blue bricks under his feet, "My father is both a king and a father, and my ministers dare not show any disrespect." Knowing or not is not important, what matters is submission.

Jin Luwang stood in front of him, looked at him carefully for a while, and was sure that even the blooming morning glow would not dye his pale complexion red, knowing that he might not be able to get up if he knelt down again, so Shi Shiran said, "Since Understood, get up."

Cardinal Jin kowtowed in thanks, wanted to move, but couldn't move at all.

Jin Yiwang said it again.

Cardinal Jin didn't want to show weakness, so he just leaned down in the tunnel, "I'm afraid, I dare not get up."

Jin Yiwang saw that he couldn't stand up, but he still refused to let go, "It's good to know how to be in awe." Then he nodded, and only then did two young eunuchs come up to help Cardinal Jin.

Cardinal Jin didn't dare to let others see that he was weak. He was afraid of making the country's delicate situation worse, so he refused to use his strength. Fortunately, he struggled with all his strength and finally stood up.

Jin Yiwang turned around and left. Since he didn't ask Cardinal Jin to go back to his room and "think about his mistakes behind closed doors", Cardinal Jin had no choice but to follow him to the court.Upward, there are still only two things in dispute, one, how to fight against the enemy, and two, how to deal with Zha Yuntong's family members.

How to fight against the enemy, the prince has already returned, but the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth, there is nothing to fight.How to deal with Zha Yuntong's family has become delicate.

Everyone understood very well that it didn't matter whether Zha Yuntong's family members were alive or dead. Anyway, Zha Yuntong himself fell into the river to feed the fish, and they were not afraid of him climbing up again at night.The only thing to worry about is the turmoil of the Tu people.In the territory of Great Chu, the relationship between the Chu people and the natives is very delicate, and the Chu people are tolerant. Otherwise, Zha Yuntong would not be able to command the Great Chu water army as a foreigner and he would be trusted. Generally speaking, the boundary between the Chu people and the natives is not It is very clear, but at certain times, such as festivals, such as getting married, or for example, forming enemies, the distinction between soil and people will appear.The natives claim to be uncivilized savages, but the more savages they are, the more they risk their lives for you.What's more, there are also two factions within the Tu nationality. One faction advocates the same pronunciation as the Chu people, and the other part wants to live in the mountains to be self-sufficient. Very united.Especially regarding Zha Yun's same matter, if it is handled improperly, it is likely to cause turmoil in the Tu people. Although it is not enough to vote for Shang Chengbi, it is enough for Cardinal Jin to have a headache.

But in fact, the courtiers of Dachu are not worried about this, but now, everyone can see that the emperor is suspicious of the prince and his family. Just let the emperor go, the crown prince, the crown prince, is not a king after all.However, Da Chu is different.Everyone knows that the emperor doesn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, and the defeat of the water army is not only a big setback, but also a serious loss of vitality.Those elite soldiers in black robes and snow clothes guarding the border of the Chu Kingdom are all princes, and the big guys also faintly know that they can compete with the mighty and indestructible Emperor Daliang who will not give up on the other side of the river. Only the prince is fighting.

But the emperor is the sky, he is his own father, even if the prince wins the emperor of Liang, the world is still the emperor's name, not to mention, no matter from the past or now, the prince is a filial person. It is even more impossible to bear the charge of patricide without the infamy of paternity.Therefore, whether the Zha family should be killed or released, and who will fight the Liang people has become a problem.

The emperor and the prince, whose team are they on?

This question will soon be unnecessary.

Because, when everyone was arguing, there was a good news from the front line. Five thousand Xuanpao troops passed through Phoenix Mountain, pushing the front line that had not been pushed for a long time to the north by two counties.

The big guy understood from the emperor's bewildered face and the prince's calmness. I am afraid that this is a chess game that His Royal Highness has already laid out. Because Phoenix Mountain is steep, it is not a day's work to conquer the city. His Royal Highness just arrived yesterday, so it is impossible. It was only when I came back that I got the order. Sure enough, I heard His Highness play to the emperor, "The villagers in the Yin of Fenghuang Mountain have a tradition of worshiping the moon. My ministers were ordered to cross the mountain overnight during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and attack the city while their men and women feasted and relaxed their guards. We have been at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain for a long time, but we have been reluctant to move lightly. I personally led the troops to the sea. After careful deployment, the soldiers put their lives to good use, and finally paid off.”

The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty had long heard of the talent of Chonghua, who was able to predict the enemy's planes and win thousands of miles first, but now he heard with his own ears his extraordinary talent for planning and strategizing, so those who hesitated congratulated the emperor one after another. My son, with the prince's ingenious plan, revenge is just around the corner.

Shang Chengbi, who was still planning how to take advantage of the victory and chase after the victory, and then write a legend about crossing the river in white clothes that surpassed the ancients, heard the news that Xuanpao leaped Phoenix Mountain by force. , Jin Chonghua, Jin Chonghua, I thought you went down to the sea when you went up the mountain, and now I am waiting for you by the river, and you actually ran over the mountain again, you really regard my country as your racetrack, and want to go Where to go, how to play how to play!Shang Chengbi waved his hand, "I'm not happy to send a letter to Cardinal Jin. Starting today, his three useless brothers will have nothing to eat."

Shang Chengbi sat in front of the sand table and rearranged the decisive battle.In the evening, Cardinal Jin's reply came from the other side of the river, "I respect the emperor for being a hero of the generation, so he devoted himself to the world. If the emperor treats Chu as an opponent, Cardinal Jin will be happy to accompany you no matter whether the army crosses the river or makes a surprise attack with elite soldiers. If you I thought that the millions of soldiers under your command were living in thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, so please open up the map to see how much land is left in your thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. I'm talking about war or no war."

When Shang Quhan received the reply, he replied, "The world's surnames are decided by the people of the world. You have already been surnamed Shang."

As soon as Shang Chengbi said this, there was an uproar on both sides of the river.The people of Dachu are eager to fight, wipe their swords, and vow to fight Shang Chengbi to avenge their shame. However, the army of Daliang is full of ghosts and ghosts. It's not for the emperor to play games to grab beauties.

After hearing the message, Cardinal Jin saw that the attendants around him had expressions of disapproval on their faces, but they just smiled.He could only smile. Over the years, he had heard so many harsh words than this, but in the land of his hometown, in front of his sisters and brothers, it was still a bit sad to be stabbed in the spine like this.However, the sadder he was, the calmer he became, he just nodded his head calmly, "Arrogant soldiers are sure to lose. Shang Chengbi regards the war between the two countries as a trifling matter. Being so arrogant is exactly ours." Opportunity." The hand on the map was steady, "Tell Xueyi that crossing the river in white is already a legend, and Xueyi's landing on the shore should be a follow-up."

Yun Shu was excited for a while, "The prince wants to send troops?"

Cardinal Jin said, "The natural moat of the great river is enough to keep the foundation. But if you only rely on An Dachu, you will not win."

Jin Yuwang also heard the news of his dispatch of troops. Cardinal Jin's astonishing talent is not only in poetry and martial arts, he became famous at a young age, and he relied on his ability to fight against five bandits with his sword.He admired everything in the black robe and snow clothes, and now he manipulates them calmly, as easily as using his arms and fingers, with ease.Jin Yuwang personally patrolled the camp and labored. Seeing that the army was clean-up and morale was high, he knew that a great victory was expected, so he immediately made up his mind.He had just ascended the throne, and he needed a big victory to appease the hearts of the people, but he didn't want to lose the first battle. The naval army was defeated, and it was inevitable that they would lose the hearts of the people. Zha Yun said the same thing, and everyone at the court was facing Cardinal Jin, which was also because of the lack of momentum in the army.Therefore, after a major event, Cardinal Jin was called immediately.In the first sentence, I said that my son has worked hard.

Cardinal Jin just bowed his head and respected his ears as usual, "I will be filial to my father and loyal to my country, and I dare not call it hard work."

Jin Yiwang nodded in satisfaction, and immediately hit the snake with the stick, "My son has both loyalty and filial piety, and is good at charging. My father and son are of the same heart, why worry about big things not being done?"

Cardinal Jin knew that he must have something to say, so he didn't dare to answer casually.

Sure enough, Jin Yiwang said, "Business thieves are rampant, openly shouting at the riverside, my father would like to send you as a vanguard, you are willing."

Cardinal Jin replied, "This is the duty of a son of man and a minister, and a son or minister is obliged to do so."

"Okay!" Jin Yiwang raised his palms, "I will be the emperor's personal conquest, and my son will lead the way, it must be a good story!"

Cardinal Jin knew he had this idea when he said that he was good at charging, so he didn't think it was surprising at the moment, he just said, "How can the father's daughter's body go to the dangerous place in person, or let the son fight to the other side for the father, and meet the emperor?" Father, let's cross the river." Since Jin Youwang ascended the throne, he has never called the word "Father Huang", only called him "Father King", but now, he uses "Father Emperor" to stop Jin Youwang's mouth.

But Jin Yiwang had planned for a long time, how could he easily give in, "He, Shang Chengbi, can lead his troops to the south. Although his father is a martyr in his twilight years, he has a long-term ambition, so he can avoid guarding the river bank?"

Hearing that he actually said these two sentences, Cardinal Jin said in his heart, follow the story of Wei Wu? Emperor. Father, please sit in peace." The tone of the words was very decisive.

Jin Luwang heard that his tone was too harsh, he was silent for a moment, and then suddenly slowed down, with a serious look, "My son Chonghua, you are not suitable for a decisive battle with Shang Chengbi."

There was a dull pain in Cardinal Jin's heart, and he simply stabbed himself again, "My son is stupid, please make it clear, father."

Jin Yiwang sighed leisurely, "Six years ago, I really wronged you. You and him have an old sword, and he still misses you so far. The army is under your command. How can you rest assured in the army of the country?" ?”

As soon as Jin Yanwang said this, Cardinal Jin couldn't even feel the pain. He smiled first, then counted silently for three seconds in his heart, and suddenly passed out on the white jade hall of Chongguang Hall. Before the throne, everything is unknown.

When Cardinal Jin fainted, it was Jin Luwang who panicked first. He knew that his son was not in good health, and he also knew that what he said was really heart-wrenching, but he didn't expect him to faint like this.After a moment of panic, he became angry from embarrassment.Zun's buttocks were lifted a few times on the throne, but for some reason he refused to go down to look, so he just winked at the person who served him close by.

The little eunuch next to him was also beating his heart. What is the crown prince—the emperor's words were too poignant. It's fine for others to say that. How can a father stab a son like this.

Jin Luwang stretched his neck on the throne to watch, the little eunuch first stretched out his hand to carefully check Cardinal Jin's breath, which immediately angered Jin Luwang, "If you touch anything, my bones are rotten and he will die too. No!"

As soon as the little eunuch reached out his hand, he was taken aback. Fortunately, he could feel the breath, and replied tremblingly, "Your Highness fainted."

After Jin Yiwang yelled that sentence, he felt rude, but it was not too much, he just said, "Quickly order the imperial doctor to see it." Then he added, "The crown prince is too tired to work on state affairs."

No one in the whole hall dared to answer, so they had to announce the imperial physician. What the imperial physician could say was lack of energy, loss of pure energy, exhaustion of heart, loss of energy and blood, no one dared to say , His Highness's pulse condition looks like it may not be a long-lived person.

Jin Yi took a look at the prescriptions, they were all medicines for stabilizing shock, soothing the pulse, strengthening the body and strengthening the body, and he knew that he was angry, but he was displeased and said, "Use my chariot to send the prince back." Left and right Naturally, he praised the father's kindness and son's filial piety.

It's a pity that Cardinal Jin didn't wake up for three days after sleeping.

On the first day, Jin Yuwang didn't take it seriously, on the second day, he was a little flustered, and on the third day, he couldn't help thinking that he wouldn't just die like this.Then he thought, if he died, then his black robe and snow clothes——

Thinking of this, his face turned red suddenly, but he was not ashamed, but excited. Fortunately, he is not too stupid, and he also knows the situation at this moment. If Cardinal Jin dies, there will be a chaos in the country, so he ordered to let the wind out slowly. , Speaking of Prince Da Chu's serious illness, he invited a famous doctor.

Cardinal Jin didn't go to the camp for a day, so he couldn't hide the news. After sleeping for three days, the news that he was carried out of the Jinyuwang Hall spread like wildfire. Shang Chengbi, who was on the other side of the river, heard it clearly.Shang Chengbi smiled lightly, "See what tricks you have." Jin Zhonghua would not give up his death if he had not trampled on his own thousands of miles of rivers and mountains for thousands of years.

However, soon, news came that the needles and stones were not working and the dragon heart grass was missing for medicine.Shang Chengbi summoned the accompanying imperial doctor to ask what dragon heart grass was. The accompanying imperial doctor said that it was a kind of herb for emergency treatment of heart vessels. It is said that people who have been intoxicated will wake up after taking one dose.But it's just a rumor. No one has heard of whether this kind of grass really exists.

Shang Chengbi felt that this was Cardinal Jin's trick again, but he was worried after all, so he called Chu Yi over.

When asked the word Longxincao, before Chu Yiqing said anything, Yunze jumped up first, "He, why is he so worried, him!"

Shang Chengbi had seen so many storms, but he suddenly became flustered after hearing the boy's complaint.Staring straight at Chu Yiqing, Chu Yiqing was still calm, and only used his fingers to draw eight characters, "Life and death are fate, success or failure depends on God."

Shang Chengbi stood up abruptly, "What do you mean?"

Chu Yiqing even ignored him.

Shang Chengbi was in a hurry, "Don't just think that you can not speak because you are dumb!"

Chu Yi smiled slightly, turned around and left without moving the curtain on his face.

Shang Chengbi suddenly ran down and slapped him on the back of the heart, Chu Yiqing didn't dodge or dodge, Shang Chengbi didn't really want to make a move, but when his inner strength came, he withdrew his momentum and turned over in front of him, but Grabbing Yunze's neck, "You tell me."

"No one knows about this medicine. My young master told the maid next to him with dimples to find this medicine if he can't wake up." Yun Ze said.

"What disease to treat?" Shang Chengbi asked urgently.

Yunze raised his eyelids, then drooped again, "There is no cure."

Shang Chengbi suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and he was waiting to ask again, but Chu Yiqing suddenly flicked his sleeves and took Yunze to leave.

Shang Chengbi stretched his arms horizontally to block and then blocked, "Speak clearly."

Yun Ze said two words, the words were clear and clear, "Collect the corpse."
