Born short-lived

Chapter 166 Check and Balance

Dong Sheng had read the historical biography of Huaxu in the previous dynasty when he was studying with his master. He remembered that when he read that book for the first time, the historian who compiled it had just passed away for a year and a half.The content in it is also very general, "Dongwen Benji" is called "Hua Taizu Benji", and there is no "Biography of Feng Huo Hou".The content about Vulcan is only mentioned in a few strokes in Taizu's Benji. On the contrary, there are many anecdotes and anecdotes written in the market, but most of them are fantasy, and each one is better than the other.

"I remember that there is no such article in Hua Xu's former annals." Dong Sheng casually flipped through two pages, and found that there were not only written records, but also occasional pictures. Suddenly, he seemed to have seen something interesting, and the corner of his mouth raised a Radian, "Who is this?"

On the yellowed pages of the book, a big man with a beard and copper bell eyes was outlined with ink pen, and a line of words was annotated with a small pen next to it. .”

Dong Sheng was amused: "Does it really look like this?"

Those who knew it was Vulcan, but those who didn't know thought it was a butcher.

Wang Sheng came over to take a look, and immediately his face was distorted, and he said with disgust: "Blind painting, Vulcan was notoriously elegant back then, and his transformation form was also upright, not to mention how handsome, at least he is also handsome... This, this It's nothing."

Dong Sheng smiled and quickly flipped through the pages, so as not to be reborn, he raised his head and said to Han Jin: "Boss Han, please help me translate this book into Jin Wen when you have time."

"Okay, Your Highness."

"What's your name, Your Highness?" Dong Sheng waved his hand, "There's no one here. You don't feel tired and I'm nervous when you take one Highness to another. When there are no outsiders, you just... just call me Xuanzheng."

Dong Sheng also just remembered that this word has been around for quite a while, and he has never used it. It just so happens that Han Jin looks not much older than him, and it is reasonable to scream—besides, Han Jin is the one who whipped him , Let a person who has whipped him call him His Highness, Dong Sheng can't wait to hear it and be terrified.

However, as soon as Dong Sheng said this, the two people present were stunned for a moment, obviously they still couldn't react to the word "Xuan Zheng".

The atmosphere was silent for a while, before Han Jin blinked twice, and tentatively called out: "Xuan...zheng?"

"Yeah." Dong Sheng smiled and nodded, and then he didn't know what to say. After the second awkward silence between the three of them, Dong Sheng lowered his head and coughed twice, then changed the subject and said, "By the way, I let you You deployed people according to my deployment plan, how is it?"

Han Jin quickly said: "It's all set up, and the guns are being fired."

"Okay, you can watch the guns yourself, don't put them all out at once, leave a few doors," Dong Sheng instructed, and then turned to the past life, "Is there any movement at the bottom of the mountain now?"

"They attacked twice before and didn't come up, so they just stayed at the bottom and didn't move. It seems that they want to consume us to death." They can't deceive themselves. Although there is a natural barrier right now, if they can't find a way to go down the mountain, they may be trapped and die on the mountain. Living."

Dong Sheng sensed that there was something hidden in the words of passing away, and immediately asked again: "What do you mean basically controlled?"

"That is to say, although our army has the upper hand, the Panyang people are defeated and will not retreat," Xiangsheng said, "It seems that they are waiting for some east wind."

Where are you waiting for the east wind?It's nothing more than waiting for Dong Sheng to die.

Dong Sheng was silent, wiping the ashes on the book in his hands unconsciously with his fingers. When he was thinking hard, he suddenly felt a dull pain in the back of his head, and suddenly became dizzy. He leaned forward and almost fell on the box. He quickly supported the ground with his hands. Only then did he stabilize his figure.

Xiangsheng hurriedly said: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay," Dong Sheng casually said, before Wang Sheng began to scold him, "I will write a letter in hand, and when Zhou Zirong comes, I will send it to Chengguan with a spirit bird."

Wang Sheng raised his eyebrows, looked at him with a very strange look, said "Yo" with a half-smile, and said, "Are you so sure that he will come?"

Dong Sheng smiled without saying a word.

Facts proved that Dong Sheng was right. When the second news came to Beijing, Zhou Zirong had already arrived outside Xuanwu Gate, accompanied by [-] soldiers and horses.

——Jiang Kun was furious in the Jinluan Hall, which was surrounded by wind.

It wasn't just Zhou Zirong who made him angry. He received four informants in one day, one from Zhou Zirong, one from the Zhuo family in Northern Xinjiang, and one from the Southern Xinjiang Command...there was another one, which was actually It was written by King Silan of Nanyang who wished to be caught in the fire.

Now the empress has not mourned for a long time, and the prince has been sealed on Liaoshan by him. Zhou Zirong's 15 troops have already crushed the Xuanwu Gate, and he said grandly that he came to "bring good news"; The child brought [-] people to "report in Beijing"; Luo Geng from southern Xinjiang brought [-] "road builders" back to Beijing to "list the three-year performance of southern Xinjiang"—even Aldan is not a fuel-efficient lamp , I want to talk to the prince about the black oil trade, the meaning is obvious, if I don't see Dongsheng people in the future, then don't do this business.

Just like what Dong Sheng said - "I'm not really alone yet".

The purpose of the Quartet is very clear, and almost all the people are here. In the end, it all depends on Jiang Kun's attitude whether it is a hundred birds facing the phoenix or a group of demons dancing wildly.

Zhou Zirong also added a sentence with ulterior motives - "One thought becomes a Buddha and one thought becomes a demon".

And there is only one thing that Jiang Kun regrets, that is, he should never have let Dong Sheng run away from the Golden Luan Hall.

Now Zhou Zirong's people are stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate, Zhuo's army is about to arrive at the Zhuque Gate, and the "craftsmen" in southern Xinjiang are estimated to be entering Beijing soon.Jiang Kun originally wanted to blast the mountain directly, but what he didn't expect was that the prince's influence was so wide and deep-rooted. If he really blasted the mountain, the capital might also fall.

So now that he is surrounding the mountain, Zhou Zirong doesn't dare to enter the pass rashly, but he also doesn't dare to bombard the mountain casually.

These things were overheard by the princess who had just arrived at the gate of the palace. She had come to find Jiang Kun, and when she heard the shocking news, she completely forgot what she wanted to say.

The Golden Luan Hall was being repaired, and she wandered outside for a long time, and finally got out of nowhere, supported her stomach with one hand, and staggered slowly in. She stumbled a few times because of some broken boards, and finally groaned. He called loudly: "Uncle...uncle."

Jiang Kun was taken aback by the voice behind him, only to realize that the princess had arrived, and said in surprise, "Your Highness? Why do you..."

The princess cautiously took two steps forward, hesitated for a moment, and then said bluntly, "I want to talk to Brother Huang."

At the moment when the trend of seizing the heir is extremely vicious, the relationship between Dong Li and Dong Sheng is strangely relaxed. Jiang Kun also thinks that it is more appropriate for Dong Li to come forward at this time, but he will never let the princess go up the mountain, so he simply wrote the speech. Then let the princess transcribe it again, and then hand it over to the guards to send it up the mountain.

When Xiangsheng went to the bedroom to look for Dong Sheng with the boiled ginger tea, he had just finished reading the princess's letter and knocked on the door beside him, which caught his attention.

Dong Sheng raised his head and saw him, a tepid smile habitually broke out on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Come in, thank you for your hard work." Then he put the letter on the bedside cabinet calmly with one hand, and pressed the letter with the book. Live in a corner.

Wang Sheng hummed lightly, stepped over the threshold very naturally, and went straight into the room. He put the tea tray on the table casually, then glanced back, and the first thing he noticed was the book: "What book is that?" ?”

"Han Jin translated the biography of Feng Huo Hou."

After a while, he tidied up the messy drawings on the table, and at the same time remembered the letter Dong Sheng was reading when he entered the door, so he asked again: "What did the princess say in the letter?"

"Her," Dong Sheng smiled and shook his head, "She asked me to persuade Zhou Zirong to hand over his military power."
