I'm not Murong Chong
Chapter 156
The autumn wind is blowing, the flags are flying, and thousands of Wei soldiers on the school grounds are already dressed neatly and solemnly waiting for the emperor's inspection. According to the old customs of the country, every time a leader makes a major decision, he must perform a sacrificial ceremony, pray to the sky, cast a statue and ask for divination. A set of tedious prayer rituals is called "hand casting gold man".Tuobagui changed his country name to Wei, because he had the ambition to get rid of the grassland tribes and win the Central Plains, and the sacrificial etiquette was also changed to worship the Taimiao and perform court rites. The only way to send troops to fight is to rely on the eight tribes of Tuoba Xianbei who established the country of Wei. The soldiers, in order to boost the morale of the army, Tuobagui still followed the Xianbei rules, set up a platform to worship the sky before leaving, and inspected the three armies.
Tuoba Gui, wearing a golden dragon battle armor, a phoenix-tailed crown helmet, and holding the emperor's sword in both hands, stood quietly on the high altar, not angry and majestic.On both sides stood several high-ranking and important ministers, Wei Wang Tuobayi who commanded the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, Nanzhong General He Lanjun, Changsun Song, Uncle Sun Puluo, Zhang Yan, Cui's father and son and other Han officials were all present, Tuobagui But it seemed that he was still waiting for something, and he didn't speak for a long time.Until a sound of hooves pierced the stagnant sky.
Tuobagui raised his head and looked up, a flash of color flashed unconsciously in his eyes.
It was Ren Zhen who came - he didn't expect it to be such a big ostentation, with thousands of horses and horses, immobile as a mountain, watching his silver armored white horse gallop past.
When he arrived at Fengtan, Ren Zhen slammed the rein with one hand, the horse neighed, and the moment he raised his hoof, Ren Zhen turned over and jumped off neatly, nimble and handsome in one go, without any hindrance.Tuobagui took a step forward with admiration in his eyes, leaned slightly, and stretched out his hand to him. Ren Zhen took his arm and jumped onto the altar, standing side by side with Tuobagui. Only then did everyone discover the armor Ren Zhen was wearing. Except for the color and accessories, it is almost the same as Tuoba Gui!
Except for Cui Hao, everyone exclaimed in their hearts. Wei Wang Tuobayi knew a little bit about the inside story. The army was separated, and when there was no news, they were always secretly afraid that someone with ulterior motives would put this cousin who more represented the interests of the Xianbei nobles on the throne. After returning to Beijing, he immediately found an excuse to transfer Tuobayi away from the Yanwei border , put it under your nose to rest assured.Although Tuobayi has to be promoted to a higher position, but he is in the capital and has many constraints. How can he be as comfortable as the sky-high emperor in the past?He couldn't help muttering in his heart: He fought with the emperor for many years, he was born and died, and he commanded the garrison of the capital as a prince. Jun is very arrogant.
Cui Hong frowned and asked his son in a low voice: "Why does the emperor appoint this person? After all, he was once a hero, and he was just hiding in the palace. How can he let him gain military power again? The emperor is also fascinated—why don't you persuade him? "
Cui Hao stood silently - the reason why the Xianbei nobles headed by He Lanna were able to call the wind and rain in the Great Wei Dynasty was because they formed a party and formed a faction, so what Tuoba Gui most taboo is that they, the Han officials, are also side by side with these stubborn forces. The roots are wrong.The last time he slapped him because of his personal relationship with He Lanjun, it was already a hint of warning. Fortunately, he was eloquent and gave him advice to strengthen the holy family.After such an encounter, he was even more convinced of the weight of Murong Chong, the former king, in Tuoba Gui's heart. With him by his side, Tuoba Gui was a fearless hero, an invincible sword and sword—he naturally would not Willing to spend a lot of time to disobey Tuobagui. "The emperor's sacred heart shines alone, this time Beishou Gaoche is not even allowed to accompany me, even if I want to persuade, there is no way to persuade me."
Cui Hong was furious: "You are wise to protect yourself and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages!"
"Father, haven't you realized it yet? Since the Cui Tu incident happened not long ago, the emperor's attitude towards our family has changed, far from what it was at the beginning of the founding of the country. At this time, the most important thing is not to do something but to do something. Why, keep yourself first to have a future—otherwise, like Xu Qian, who is sick and stays at home to thank guests behind closed doors, and he is angry with the emperor, the emperor simply dismisses him, then there is really nothing left."
Cui Hong knew that he was talking about Cui Zhi, a member of the tribe whom he had recommended to Tuoba Gui.At first, Tuoba Gui admired him quite a lot, and worshiped him as an admonishing doctor, handling legal documents, but he was proud of his talents, boasted of his famous family and was arrogant, which had offended many Xianbei dignitaries.Tuobagui wanted to use troops in Mobei, so he didn't want to fight the Beifu army on two fronts, so he sent another younger brother, Tuoba Zun, to Jiankang as a pawn to show his intention to repair it. Wang Mian, Hongluqing, wrote a letter to Tuobazun, saying, "The virtuous brother walks in the Central Plains like a tiger".When the letter was sent back to Pingcheng, Tuobagui knew at a glance that Xie Xuan had no sincerity in cultivating, and he didn't recognize Tuoba Wei at all, so he played such a word game and downgraded him to a vassal, so he ordered Cui Xuan To draft a reply letter, the implication is to ask him to scold the Eastern Jin monarchs and ministers back.Unexpectedly, Cui Yi boasted that he came from the same lineage as Wang Xie's children, and was full of affection for the Han court. In his reply, he actually called Emperor Jin'an "your lord". Cui Cheng was executed.This matter does not seem to be a big deal, and it does not involve the Cui family and his son, but it is undoubtedly an obvious weathervane when the two civilizations and systems represented by the two factions of the Han family and the Xianbei nobles are colliding fiercely, marking the emperor's attitude. has officially leaned towards the latter.
"To govern the country and bring peace to the world, do nothing and do everything." Cui Hao coughed lowly, "What's more, the emperor is leading soldiers from the eight tribes of Xianbei. Even if Murong Chong recovers his memory, it won't be able to cause any trouble."
Cui Hong was still waiting to speak, when suddenly he heard the official chanting loudly, but it was time to come—Amidst the sound of witch music, a shaman with tattoos on his back and a ghost head covering his face, stepped onto the stage surrounded by many witches, and the copper bell rang, The voice of the witch prayed, one hand was louder than the other, and it became a roaring sound. The great mage held the secret magic weapon in his hand, chanting words in his mouth, dancing around Tuoba Gui like crazy, and everyone bowed down to pray.Finally, the vocal music stopped, and the shaman knelt on his knees, raised his arms high, and said loudly: "The Great Kunlun God blesses Your Majesty!" The witch with tattoos on both sides presented a pair of dark wooden boxes and knelt in front of Tuobagui Down.
Tuobagui pursed his lips, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull Ren Zhen to his side, then took out a gold-plated jizan mask covering his eyebrows and eyes from one of the wooden boxes, and gently placed it on Ren Zhen's forehead .Ren Zhen was taken aback, and turned to look at Tuoba Gui, only to see that he was also looking at him with a smile in his eyes: "The God of the Great Kunlun blessed you, and you will be invincible in killing all directions." Why is his face slightly hot - he knows that this is a special ceremony for the monarch to pray for blessings in the past. This mask was chanted by the shaman day and night for 49 days to pray for the triumphant return of the blessed person. Under the eyes of everyone, Tuoba Gui What's the point of giving this thing to him openly?
Ren Zhen turned his head and wanted to withdraw his hand, he would rather see naked women singing and dancing in front of him than meet Tuobagui's eyes again.Tuobagui gave a muffled smile and did not let go, but whispered: "There is another box, can you do it for me?" Ren Zhen was eager to get rid of his restraint, so he nodded indiscriminately, opened the remaining ebony box, Take out a solid gold figurine with a few arms length.
Tuobagui stepped forward, held Ren Zhen's left hand and raised it high, announcing the golden man to the public.
The archmage prostrated himself on the ground: "The golden statue is cast, God bless you!" Everyone on the stage also bowed after hearing the news: "Long live Your Majesty, the great Wei will surely win!" , Long live the mountain call—a gold and iron horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger!
Even Cui Hao didn't know about this twist - Tuobagui feared that Ren Zhen's sudden enlistment in the army would make someone dissatisfied and trip him up secretly, so he took pains to add power to his strong voice.
It was only then that Ren Zhen recalled: Tuoba Gui was afraid that he did it on purpose, so he couldn't help but turned his head and glared at him. Tuoba Gui responded with innocent eyes, but was slightly happy in his heart: Ren Zhen finally realized his feelings for him What is not simple, instinctively began to avoid.This kid was right, Ren Zhen was soft but not hard, but Xu Tu couldn't take hard.
Tuobagui raised his hand to split the score, and the sound of the drum was suffocated: "Gaoche thieves have repeatedly violated the border. I follow God's will to launch a crusade, and I will drive out these thieves and drive them out of my Wei territory forever! Great Kunlun God bless you! All the people of Wei - I am the world, and I am invincible!"
"Take back Chile and slaughter all the tall chariots!"
All the soldiers in the audience clamored again, hitting their shields with their halberds, roaring and shouting, the sound pierced the sky, startling flocks of birds in the sky.
This Northern Expedition is to return to the Mobei Grassland where Tuoba Xianbei originated, once again proclaiming their status as kings.All the soldiers who went to the expedition were carefully selected Xianbei warriors from the Central Army in Gyeonggi—in other words, the imperial conquest, the momentum is like a rainbow, and victory must be won.
Tuobagui stepped on the steed, tilted his head to Ren Zhen, and shook the fringe under the crown, unable to cover his lacquered eyes.
Ren Zhen hesitated for a moment, but he was not afraid. He got on the horse, pulled the rein with his left hand, and almost kept pace with Tuoba Gui.
Tuoba Gui's military parade, wherever the horse's hooves stepped, there were thunderous voices: "Long live Your Majesty!"
"Invincible!"
"Shoot into the North Sea and go straight to the royal court!"
"Kill all the Gaoche people!"
Zhang Yan was an old man, disturbed by the shock, but he didn't dare to show it. Cui Hong also felt very uncomfortable. He felt that the Xianbei people were barbaric and disorganized, and they were far from being kingly and sinicized.
Ren Zhen observed all this calmly under the mask. For some reason, he had stayed in the deep palace for a long time, but he felt that this scene was somewhat familiar and nostalgic. Surrounded and cheered - once upon a time?When Ren Zhenren's brain hurts, he was afraid that it was caused by not taking the decoction in the palace today, so he stopped thinking about it.
Tuobagui turned sideways, and said with a low laugh: "After the triumphant return, the elder brother and I enter the city hand in hand, the scene will be a hundred times more magnificent than this! Let the whole Pingcheng look up to you and me!"
Tuobagui is very confident, with food, grass, soldiers and horses, he has to drive himself to conquer, and he doesn't pay attention to the high chariot cavalry who once ravaged the border and ruled the prairie.
Ren Zhen glanced at him lightly, his face still sinking like water, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised, with a faint smile.
Tuobagui's heart sank, he didn't care whether others had doubts hanging in the sky for two days, he only had eyes for this handsome and extraordinary man in front of him-this made him almost return to the Weiyang Palace 12 years ago. The first encounter in the field - a handsome general appeared in front of him through the blood and gunpowder smoke all over the sky. He was dressed in military uniform and descended from the sky, looking down on the common people like a god of war.
At that time, he was still so tiny and weak, he only dared to peek at him, who would have thought that one glance would last ten thousand years.
Tuobagui originally wanted to hide him in the deep palace, but it was only because he was afraid that he would remember the past. After all, the two of them had an unbearable past. Many senior generals in the Yan army had seen him, even though he had already left. The password is sealed, but if someone else leaks one or two things, it will inevitably cause changes, so I only dare to let him see the light of day when I go out.
However, at this moment, he was overwhelmed by his awe-inspiring demeanor, and once again deeply realized that you are you, even if you forget all the past, you will still not change your character-this is the love I never forget.
Therefore, I don't want to break your wings and imprison your freedom like in the past. This time, I would like to give all of my life in exchange for your sincerity!
The three armies set off, meandering away, and gradually disappeared into the long march.Above the turret of the palace garden, a gray figure flashed past, hurried downstairs, got into a well-covered carriage, left the palace gate unimpeded, and drove straight to Zhao Guogong's mansion.
At today's expedition ceremony, He Lanna said that he was still ill, and was drinking a bowl of steaming butter tea on the tiger-skin felt. It has been a year since he left the tribe and moved to Pingcheng under Tuobagui's order. More than enough, but still not used to the way of life here.Although there are tall buildings and mansions, servants, children and concubines here, there are no cattle, sheep, water, grass, tents and tents. There are tens of thousands of his troops and people on the prairie, and his roots are still there.
Chao Ru pushed the door open, put his hands on his chest, and bowed respectfully to He Lanna.
He Lanna opened his narrowed eyes: "The army is gone?" Seeing Chao Ru nodding, he propped himself up: "Okay, the morale is like a rainbow, and the whole city of Ping has heard the movement of the suburban school - how is the situation in the palace? "
When Chao Ru entered the palace, he was not only ordered to take care of the two Mrs. He, but also to serve as He Lanna's eyeliner. At this moment, he gave an overview of the situation with a blank face, and He Lanna smashed the food bowl in his hand: "I only visited Mi'er once in this month?! If it's true, as you said, the emperor has not summoned any concubines in the past month, and only discussed with the ministers about the expedition day and night, so what happened to him before?" It was all intentional, to trick me into agreeing to borrow troops! Outsiders still say that I, the Helan tribe, are blessed with a wealth of scenery, but they don’t know that this is because I filled it with a daughter for nothing and paid me tens of thousands of soldiers and horses!"
Chao Ru cleaned up the broken porcelain on the ground, and then continued unhurriedly: "Although the emperor is only borrowing soldiers, and will return the eagle talisman of the emperor when he returns in triumph, everyone knows the emperor's temperament, and he has a serious heart for killing. This time, the purpose of exterminating the Gaoche family is to gradually show off their force to the Rouran Khanate and other grassland countries. How many tens of thousands of sons are left, I'm afraid... can be predicted."
"Damn it! Last time he listened to the suggestion of the Han party, what he wanted to do was to 'separate the tribes and organize the households to make the people'. On the surface, we rewarded our high-ranking officials with rich salary and moved our family to Pingcheng. In fact, he disbanded the tribes, counted the population, and made The herdsmen of our tribe only farm the land and don’t herd sheep. They are fixed on the fields to pay taxes for the court and cultivate, and no longer belong to the tribal leader. This will imperceptibly disintegrate the strength of our Helan tribe—if you didn’t mention it, I still can’t see it. The move is to seize our military power and take it back to him alone, and cut off the roots of us old Xianbei! Fortunately, you ran away later, and the elders of our tribes united to resist many resistances, causing great resistance, and the emperor had to temporarily Stop. It's good now, I changed my method and lied to my military power!"
Seeing He Lanna, Chao Ru finally realized that he had been bullied: "Even if the emperor has nostalgia for the Xianbei people, it's just that the people around him always encourage him to respect the king and fight against barbarians like the Han Dynasty. If the monarch centralizes power, he must abandon the past. The political model of tribal alliances colluding to fight together—my lord... is naturally a big obstacle in the way. To put it bluntly, the emperor will stand on their side sooner or later, and this time's shady trick of borrowing troops is proof."
He Lanna blew his beard and stared at him and said: "I learn everything from the Han people. I don't understand the emperor, what's so good about the Han people's way of dressing and eating? What's the use of a war disaster?" Isn’t that what you told me last time about the Sima family who was partial to the Southern Dynasty!”
"The farming civilization of the Han people is to tie people to the fields and land, and they can't leave without it. If things go on like this, it will naturally wipe out people's desire to kill and fight; but the nomadic life of the Xianbei people is to live on the grass. All the property can be taken away with a horse, no worries, no traces, all the people are soldiers, if you want better supplies, you can only rely on plunder and war - the fighting power is naturally strong." Chao Ru licked his lips, Seeing that He Lanna was still puzzled, he made an analogy, "Hu people are wolves, and Han people are sheep. After the wolves captured the sheepfold, the wolf leader wanted to turn the rest of the wolves into sheep. Talent—I am alone.”
He Lanna understood now, and couldn't help but change his face in horror: "The emperor wants to destroy me and other heroes?!"
Chao Ru raised his hand and shook: "Until the last moment, the emperor doesn't want to fight with you. That's why this time we use such a roundabout way to weaken the Helan family's military power. If I guess right, this time After the emperor returned from his personal conquest, the top priority must be to force the Changsun family and other Xianbei tribes to hand over their military power. At that time, the Helan family's strength will be greatly damaged due to this northern expedition, and naturally they will no longer be able to be the leader. Orders are like a mess of loose sand, at that time, the plan we made earlier will be broken, and we can only let other fish break it one by one."
"——This must be the bad move of that old man Cui from the Shangshu Office! This group of Han Party is the most cunning!"
But Chao Ru said in his heart: According to his observations in the palace these days, Cui Hong is more than stable and lacks opportunities, so he may not be able to help Tuoba Gui with such a series of intertwined schemes. I am afraid that his opponent may have another There are people.
"In your opinion, how should you deal with it?"
Chao Ru covered her mouth and coughed a few times: "Once the emperor returns victorious, he will definitely use the power of victory to cut down the army, so if you want to avoid disaster, you can only let him fight an unwinnable battle."
He Lanna shook his head and said: "The emperor has always been a hero on horseback. He is good at fighting and has a persevering temperament. Even if he fights every soldier, he must achieve his goal. This time, he left the King of Wei Tuobayi in Pingcheng Sitting in the town, responsible for the stability of the rear and the transportation of food and grass, it can be seen that the planning is thorough. No matter how brave the Gaoche people are, they are mobs, and they will never be the emperor's opponent."
Chao Ru smiled slightly: "There is no general who is sure to win in this world. Once a war starts, it is full of variables and coincidences. If the two armies are at war, since the emperor remains the same, the only way is to let the Gaoche people change."
He Lanna waved his hand: "Is it up to me to decide whether Gao Che Shanyu Hulu's light changes or not?" As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, and stared at this unattractive domestic slave with dumbfounded eyes.
A flash of light flashed in Chao Ru's eyes, he nodded gently, and said in a low voice: "The emperor's heavy troops came out of the clouds, went to Daijun, and marched along the Shengle area. This is based on the previous route of Gaoche's southward invasion It is an active blocking strategy. But if Hu Luguang does not go to Shengle but instead attacks Yanmen, Guancheng City on the other side, the emperor's hard work is doomed to return in vain, and the king's private soldiers will also be unscathed , is still the number one wealthy family in Xianbei."
Some of the Yanmen Pass defenders had already gone north to support the Shengle battlefield in Daijun. Tuobagui arranged for them not to return to the defense for the time being, but to station on the flanks to wait for work and to support the main force on the move. Therefore, the troops in Yanmen Pass were empty and unprepared at this time. And the incident happened suddenly, once the battle started, the high chariot cavalry would not be able to stop.And once the Gaoche people break through the city, they will burn, kill, loot and loot everything, He Lanna didn't expect Chao Ru to look sick, and every word would be murderous and decisive: "You want me...to cooperate with the enemy? !"
Chao Ru said calmly: "Gao Che has no territorial claims on Wei State, and Hu Luguang's nature is greedy and easy to kill. He can't hold Yanmen Pass, but it's just a disaster and he will retreat after a few days." He raised his eyes and looked at He Lanna: "Besides, Yanmen Pass has always been Changsun Song's sphere of influence. The Changsun family, like King Wei, supports the eldest son of the emperor, Tuoba Si. If his strength is damaged, it will be beneficial to the emperor in the future."
He Lanna was not stupid, and after thinking about it again, he realized what was going on. He gritted his teeth and said, "This matter is very confidential and very dangerous. It needs a bold and careful person to tip off the news."
Chao Ru got up slowly, raised his hands to press his chest and bowed in a salute: "If there is no leader, I would have died of an incurable disease in the wilderness even if I didn't die under the sword of the army. "
He Lanna was overjoyed, and immediately began to arrange for Chao Ru to leave the capital. Chao Ru returned to the palace overnight before the curfew for fear of arousing suspicion.Sitting in the rickety car, Chao Ru raised the corner of the curtain, looked up at the vast night sky.
After half a day, I don't know where the army of the Northern Expedition has gone; and after this battle, how many people will there be left?
There was a wave of light in Chao Ru's eyes. He let go of the curtain and sat back with a blank expression on his face: Tuoba Gui knew that the Yanmen Pass had been lost, and with his nature, he would never let it go and return empty-handed. He would chase all night and take the initiative The decisive battle—from Shengle to Yanmen, it took thousands of miles, and it took a long time. No one can guarantee what will happen on the way.
From then on, it depends on who is the one who turns the clouds and rains.
Chao Ru smiled silently in the deep night, but a line of tears fell silently and slowly.
At this time Liaodong Dragon City
After a while, the Houyan Palace was as quiet as death, suddenly there was the sound of a horseshoe stepping through the void, a Pegasus galloped on the galloping road, and in a blink of an eye it had arrived at the gate of the palace.The knight dismounted from his horse, and just knocked once, when the heavy palace door opened in response, but a guard in solid armor poked his head out and whispered, "How is it?"
It turned out that no one in the whole palace fell asleep, they were all on the alert, like surrounding the palace with a subway barrel.
The person who reported the letter nodded fiercely: "The emperor was murdered by the traitor Duan Ji during the autumn hunt, and has already passed away. General Feng is sending troops to quell the chaos, and will lead the army into the city soon, please report to His Royal Highness Hejian King! "
The palace guard nodded, turned around and raised his hand, and immediately someone was holding a lantern and rushed away. Soon, the fire dragons lit up along the pavilions and pavilions, and instantly lit the Yanhuang Palace in the dark like daytime, dormant all the time. The people in the dark have all flocked out so far, rushing towards the depths of the palace.
The commotion outside the hall quickly alarmed the people inside. Empress Dowager Ding stood up with the brocade quilt in her arms, her face paled in fright, and she hurriedly buried herself in the naked chest behind her: "Xi... what, what's going on here? Didn't the emperor come back suddenly? I...we..."
Murong Xi kissed Empress Dowager Ding's disheveled temples, and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, I'll go out and have a look, you stay here and don't go out, no one will dare to hurt you."
He got up and sat down on the bed, pulled a loose kimono and tied it on, and strode out of the palace. Seeing that Feng Jun's soldiers were guarding the door with open fire, the leader strode forward, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, it's your turn." !"
Murong Xi nodded, stepped down the steps, and ordered: "Immediately seal the four gates, all palace rooms, everyone is allowed to enter and not to leave, including Queen Mother Ding—until Feng Ba's army enters the city!"
Everyone was ordered to disperse, only Murong Xi was left standing there with a pale face.A few years passed by, and he had grown from an indistinguishable young man into a handsome and slender young man. The softness and charm of the past were gone, only his eyes still had a bit of enchanting beauty.
He looked back at the ghostly palaces and pools in the dark night, and coldly raised the corners of his lips: After so many years of swords and swords, he wandered through the gate of ghosts countless times, and from now on he can finally sleep peacefully!
Since Murong Bao was defeated by Tuobagui five years ago and retreated to Dragon City, Houyan, who lost the territory of the Central Plains, has fallen into a series of turmoil.It's ridiculous that Murong Bao, whose throne is in turmoil, never forgets to get rid of his brother whom he has hated for a long time. Just before he was about to do it, his uncle Lan Khan rebelled and wiped out the Emperor Houyan who was too unworthy of his father. King Changli, the men of the Murong family in the Later Yan Dynasty were of course unwilling to resign themselves to imperial power. After a series of bloody battles, Murong Bao's eldest son Murong Sheng tried his best to put down the chaos of Lan Khan, wiped out the whole family of the Lan family, and finally got to report to his father. Qiu, and respected his mother Ding as the queen mother, and regained control of the Houyan regime.
Empress Dowager Ding was a young widow and lonely in the palace, so she fell in love with the handsome uncle. Murong Sheng also held a grudge against Murong Xi and tried to kill the only remaining uncle for many times. At the same time, Murong Sheng summoned Feng Ba, who was already a general, to lead the army into the city to put down the rebellion overnight.
"Congratulations, General, Your Highness for fulfilling his wish." A thick and deep voice behind him brought him back to his senses, and a gnawing smile appeared on the corner of Murong Xi's lips: "Isn't the king's wish the general's wish?" He approached a few Stepping forward, he stretched out his hand to caress the hair on Feng Ba's sideburns, "Is it because the general doesn't want me to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan and go further?"
Feng Ba said bluntly: "The emperor's son is still in his infancy, and His Highness has the backing of Queen Mother Ding, so it is reasonable to seize the throne from my nephew."
Murong Xi laughed, turned his head to him, and whispered in his ear: "Is Ai Qing jealous? I am Queen Mother Ding's man, but I am also your woman~"
Feng Ba's scalp went numb, he clutched his neck and staggered back a step, looking at Murong Xi with infatuation, bewilderment but also a trace of hatred.Over the years, Murong Xi has relied on his good appearance to be a good husband and wife, so why has he ever had a little sincerity towards him under his unrestrained appearance?But he was stuck in the mud and couldn't extricate himself, he was willing to be driven by him and used by him, and even launched a palace coup to bloody Dragon City in order to put him on the dragon chair-but even so, Murong Xi didn't really have him in his heart, he insisted If you don't know yourself, how can you not hate?
Murong Xi was not afraid of Feng Ba's disloyalty at all, he just smiled and said with a flick of his sleeves, "Tomorrow morning, this king will invite the queen mother to come to the court to announce the death of Emperor Daxing, and order me to ascend the throne, please General Feng led [-] soldiers to ambush under the tent, if anyone disagrees, he will be killed immediately!"
Feng Ba shuddered all over, and bowed in response—whether he wanted to or not, since the tonight palace coup, his fate has been tied to Murong Xi's.
Murong Xi lowered his eyelids and looked at Feng Ba - from this angle, the tall and straight man in armor in front of him vaguely resembled Tuoba Gui.When I met him for the first time, he was also like the silver helmet and black armor, with extraordinary heroism, like a god of war coming to the world.
Murong Xi has also heard about all the major events that have happened in the Central Plains, which has gone away from him. Now that man has been kicked out of the throne, and the entire Xiyan Empire has been handed over to others; on the other hand, he is no longer powerless and helpless Tuobagui, who is about to become the veritable emperor of Houyan in the name of a lord, will you look at me with admiration as time has changed?
Tuoba Gui, wearing a golden dragon battle armor, a phoenix-tailed crown helmet, and holding the emperor's sword in both hands, stood quietly on the high altar, not angry and majestic.On both sides stood several high-ranking and important ministers, Wei Wang Tuobayi who commanded the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, Nanzhong General He Lanjun, Changsun Song, Uncle Sun Puluo, Zhang Yan, Cui's father and son and other Han officials were all present, Tuobagui But it seemed that he was still waiting for something, and he didn't speak for a long time.Until a sound of hooves pierced the stagnant sky.
Tuobagui raised his head and looked up, a flash of color flashed unconsciously in his eyes.
It was Ren Zhen who came - he didn't expect it to be such a big ostentation, with thousands of horses and horses, immobile as a mountain, watching his silver armored white horse gallop past.
When he arrived at Fengtan, Ren Zhen slammed the rein with one hand, the horse neighed, and the moment he raised his hoof, Ren Zhen turned over and jumped off neatly, nimble and handsome in one go, without any hindrance.Tuobagui took a step forward with admiration in his eyes, leaned slightly, and stretched out his hand to him. Ren Zhen took his arm and jumped onto the altar, standing side by side with Tuobagui. Only then did everyone discover the armor Ren Zhen was wearing. Except for the color and accessories, it is almost the same as Tuoba Gui!
Except for Cui Hao, everyone exclaimed in their hearts. Wei Wang Tuobayi knew a little bit about the inside story. The army was separated, and when there was no news, they were always secretly afraid that someone with ulterior motives would put this cousin who more represented the interests of the Xianbei nobles on the throne. After returning to Beijing, he immediately found an excuse to transfer Tuobayi away from the Yanwei border , put it under your nose to rest assured.Although Tuobayi has to be promoted to a higher position, but he is in the capital and has many constraints. How can he be as comfortable as the sky-high emperor in the past?He couldn't help muttering in his heart: He fought with the emperor for many years, he was born and died, and he commanded the garrison of the capital as a prince. Jun is very arrogant.
Cui Hong frowned and asked his son in a low voice: "Why does the emperor appoint this person? After all, he was once a hero, and he was just hiding in the palace. How can he let him gain military power again? The emperor is also fascinated—why don't you persuade him? "
Cui Hao stood silently - the reason why the Xianbei nobles headed by He Lanna were able to call the wind and rain in the Great Wei Dynasty was because they formed a party and formed a faction, so what Tuoba Gui most taboo is that they, the Han officials, are also side by side with these stubborn forces. The roots are wrong.The last time he slapped him because of his personal relationship with He Lanjun, it was already a hint of warning. Fortunately, he was eloquent and gave him advice to strengthen the holy family.After such an encounter, he was even more convinced of the weight of Murong Chong, the former king, in Tuoba Gui's heart. With him by his side, Tuoba Gui was a fearless hero, an invincible sword and sword—he naturally would not Willing to spend a lot of time to disobey Tuobagui. "The emperor's sacred heart shines alone, this time Beishou Gaoche is not even allowed to accompany me, even if I want to persuade, there is no way to persuade me."
Cui Hong was furious: "You are wise to protect yourself and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages!"
"Father, haven't you realized it yet? Since the Cui Tu incident happened not long ago, the emperor's attitude towards our family has changed, far from what it was at the beginning of the founding of the country. At this time, the most important thing is not to do something but to do something. Why, keep yourself first to have a future—otherwise, like Xu Qian, who is sick and stays at home to thank guests behind closed doors, and he is angry with the emperor, the emperor simply dismisses him, then there is really nothing left."
Cui Hong knew that he was talking about Cui Zhi, a member of the tribe whom he had recommended to Tuoba Gui.At first, Tuoba Gui admired him quite a lot, and worshiped him as an admonishing doctor, handling legal documents, but he was proud of his talents, boasted of his famous family and was arrogant, which had offended many Xianbei dignitaries.Tuobagui wanted to use troops in Mobei, so he didn't want to fight the Beifu army on two fronts, so he sent another younger brother, Tuoba Zun, to Jiankang as a pawn to show his intention to repair it. Wang Mian, Hongluqing, wrote a letter to Tuobazun, saying, "The virtuous brother walks in the Central Plains like a tiger".When the letter was sent back to Pingcheng, Tuobagui knew at a glance that Xie Xuan had no sincerity in cultivating, and he didn't recognize Tuoba Wei at all, so he played such a word game and downgraded him to a vassal, so he ordered Cui Xuan To draft a reply letter, the implication is to ask him to scold the Eastern Jin monarchs and ministers back.Unexpectedly, Cui Yi boasted that he came from the same lineage as Wang Xie's children, and was full of affection for the Han court. In his reply, he actually called Emperor Jin'an "your lord". Cui Cheng was executed.This matter does not seem to be a big deal, and it does not involve the Cui family and his son, but it is undoubtedly an obvious weathervane when the two civilizations and systems represented by the two factions of the Han family and the Xianbei nobles are colliding fiercely, marking the emperor's attitude. has officially leaned towards the latter.
"To govern the country and bring peace to the world, do nothing and do everything." Cui Hao coughed lowly, "What's more, the emperor is leading soldiers from the eight tribes of Xianbei. Even if Murong Chong recovers his memory, it won't be able to cause any trouble."
Cui Hong was still waiting to speak, when suddenly he heard the official chanting loudly, but it was time to come—Amidst the sound of witch music, a shaman with tattoos on his back and a ghost head covering his face, stepped onto the stage surrounded by many witches, and the copper bell rang, The voice of the witch prayed, one hand was louder than the other, and it became a roaring sound. The great mage held the secret magic weapon in his hand, chanting words in his mouth, dancing around Tuoba Gui like crazy, and everyone bowed down to pray.Finally, the vocal music stopped, and the shaman knelt on his knees, raised his arms high, and said loudly: "The Great Kunlun God blesses Your Majesty!" The witch with tattoos on both sides presented a pair of dark wooden boxes and knelt in front of Tuobagui Down.
Tuobagui pursed his lips, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull Ren Zhen to his side, then took out a gold-plated jizan mask covering his eyebrows and eyes from one of the wooden boxes, and gently placed it on Ren Zhen's forehead .Ren Zhen was taken aback, and turned to look at Tuoba Gui, only to see that he was also looking at him with a smile in his eyes: "The God of the Great Kunlun blessed you, and you will be invincible in killing all directions." Why is his face slightly hot - he knows that this is a special ceremony for the monarch to pray for blessings in the past. This mask was chanted by the shaman day and night for 49 days to pray for the triumphant return of the blessed person. Under the eyes of everyone, Tuoba Gui What's the point of giving this thing to him openly?
Ren Zhen turned his head and wanted to withdraw his hand, he would rather see naked women singing and dancing in front of him than meet Tuobagui's eyes again.Tuobagui gave a muffled smile and did not let go, but whispered: "There is another box, can you do it for me?" Ren Zhen was eager to get rid of his restraint, so he nodded indiscriminately, opened the remaining ebony box, Take out a solid gold figurine with a few arms length.
Tuobagui stepped forward, held Ren Zhen's left hand and raised it high, announcing the golden man to the public.
The archmage prostrated himself on the ground: "The golden statue is cast, God bless you!" Everyone on the stage also bowed after hearing the news: "Long live Your Majesty, the great Wei will surely win!" , Long live the mountain call—a gold and iron horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger!
Even Cui Hao didn't know about this twist - Tuobagui feared that Ren Zhen's sudden enlistment in the army would make someone dissatisfied and trip him up secretly, so he took pains to add power to his strong voice.
It was only then that Ren Zhen recalled: Tuoba Gui was afraid that he did it on purpose, so he couldn't help but turned his head and glared at him. Tuoba Gui responded with innocent eyes, but was slightly happy in his heart: Ren Zhen finally realized his feelings for him What is not simple, instinctively began to avoid.This kid was right, Ren Zhen was soft but not hard, but Xu Tu couldn't take hard.
Tuobagui raised his hand to split the score, and the sound of the drum was suffocated: "Gaoche thieves have repeatedly violated the border. I follow God's will to launch a crusade, and I will drive out these thieves and drive them out of my Wei territory forever! Great Kunlun God bless you! All the people of Wei - I am the world, and I am invincible!"
"Take back Chile and slaughter all the tall chariots!"
All the soldiers in the audience clamored again, hitting their shields with their halberds, roaring and shouting, the sound pierced the sky, startling flocks of birds in the sky.
This Northern Expedition is to return to the Mobei Grassland where Tuoba Xianbei originated, once again proclaiming their status as kings.All the soldiers who went to the expedition were carefully selected Xianbei warriors from the Central Army in Gyeonggi—in other words, the imperial conquest, the momentum is like a rainbow, and victory must be won.
Tuobagui stepped on the steed, tilted his head to Ren Zhen, and shook the fringe under the crown, unable to cover his lacquered eyes.
Ren Zhen hesitated for a moment, but he was not afraid. He got on the horse, pulled the rein with his left hand, and almost kept pace with Tuoba Gui.
Tuoba Gui's military parade, wherever the horse's hooves stepped, there were thunderous voices: "Long live Your Majesty!"
"Invincible!"
"Shoot into the North Sea and go straight to the royal court!"
"Kill all the Gaoche people!"
Zhang Yan was an old man, disturbed by the shock, but he didn't dare to show it. Cui Hong also felt very uncomfortable. He felt that the Xianbei people were barbaric and disorganized, and they were far from being kingly and sinicized.
Ren Zhen observed all this calmly under the mask. For some reason, he had stayed in the deep palace for a long time, but he felt that this scene was somewhat familiar and nostalgic. Surrounded and cheered - once upon a time?When Ren Zhenren's brain hurts, he was afraid that it was caused by not taking the decoction in the palace today, so he stopped thinking about it.
Tuobagui turned sideways, and said with a low laugh: "After the triumphant return, the elder brother and I enter the city hand in hand, the scene will be a hundred times more magnificent than this! Let the whole Pingcheng look up to you and me!"
Tuobagui is very confident, with food, grass, soldiers and horses, he has to drive himself to conquer, and he doesn't pay attention to the high chariot cavalry who once ravaged the border and ruled the prairie.
Ren Zhen glanced at him lightly, his face still sinking like water, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised, with a faint smile.
Tuobagui's heart sank, he didn't care whether others had doubts hanging in the sky for two days, he only had eyes for this handsome and extraordinary man in front of him-this made him almost return to the Weiyang Palace 12 years ago. The first encounter in the field - a handsome general appeared in front of him through the blood and gunpowder smoke all over the sky. He was dressed in military uniform and descended from the sky, looking down on the common people like a god of war.
At that time, he was still so tiny and weak, he only dared to peek at him, who would have thought that one glance would last ten thousand years.
Tuobagui originally wanted to hide him in the deep palace, but it was only because he was afraid that he would remember the past. After all, the two of them had an unbearable past. Many senior generals in the Yan army had seen him, even though he had already left. The password is sealed, but if someone else leaks one or two things, it will inevitably cause changes, so I only dare to let him see the light of day when I go out.
However, at this moment, he was overwhelmed by his awe-inspiring demeanor, and once again deeply realized that you are you, even if you forget all the past, you will still not change your character-this is the love I never forget.
Therefore, I don't want to break your wings and imprison your freedom like in the past. This time, I would like to give all of my life in exchange for your sincerity!
The three armies set off, meandering away, and gradually disappeared into the long march.Above the turret of the palace garden, a gray figure flashed past, hurried downstairs, got into a well-covered carriage, left the palace gate unimpeded, and drove straight to Zhao Guogong's mansion.
At today's expedition ceremony, He Lanna said that he was still ill, and was drinking a bowl of steaming butter tea on the tiger-skin felt. It has been a year since he left the tribe and moved to Pingcheng under Tuobagui's order. More than enough, but still not used to the way of life here.Although there are tall buildings and mansions, servants, children and concubines here, there are no cattle, sheep, water, grass, tents and tents. There are tens of thousands of his troops and people on the prairie, and his roots are still there.
Chao Ru pushed the door open, put his hands on his chest, and bowed respectfully to He Lanna.
He Lanna opened his narrowed eyes: "The army is gone?" Seeing Chao Ru nodding, he propped himself up: "Okay, the morale is like a rainbow, and the whole city of Ping has heard the movement of the suburban school - how is the situation in the palace? "
When Chao Ru entered the palace, he was not only ordered to take care of the two Mrs. He, but also to serve as He Lanna's eyeliner. At this moment, he gave an overview of the situation with a blank face, and He Lanna smashed the food bowl in his hand: "I only visited Mi'er once in this month?! If it's true, as you said, the emperor has not summoned any concubines in the past month, and only discussed with the ministers about the expedition day and night, so what happened to him before?" It was all intentional, to trick me into agreeing to borrow troops! Outsiders still say that I, the Helan tribe, are blessed with a wealth of scenery, but they don’t know that this is because I filled it with a daughter for nothing and paid me tens of thousands of soldiers and horses!"
Chao Ru cleaned up the broken porcelain on the ground, and then continued unhurriedly: "Although the emperor is only borrowing soldiers, and will return the eagle talisman of the emperor when he returns in triumph, everyone knows the emperor's temperament, and he has a serious heart for killing. This time, the purpose of exterminating the Gaoche family is to gradually show off their force to the Rouran Khanate and other grassland countries. How many tens of thousands of sons are left, I'm afraid... can be predicted."
"Damn it! Last time he listened to the suggestion of the Han party, what he wanted to do was to 'separate the tribes and organize the households to make the people'. On the surface, we rewarded our high-ranking officials with rich salary and moved our family to Pingcheng. In fact, he disbanded the tribes, counted the population, and made The herdsmen of our tribe only farm the land and don’t herd sheep. They are fixed on the fields to pay taxes for the court and cultivate, and no longer belong to the tribal leader. This will imperceptibly disintegrate the strength of our Helan tribe—if you didn’t mention it, I still can’t see it. The move is to seize our military power and take it back to him alone, and cut off the roots of us old Xianbei! Fortunately, you ran away later, and the elders of our tribes united to resist many resistances, causing great resistance, and the emperor had to temporarily Stop. It's good now, I changed my method and lied to my military power!"
Seeing He Lanna, Chao Ru finally realized that he had been bullied: "Even if the emperor has nostalgia for the Xianbei people, it's just that the people around him always encourage him to respect the king and fight against barbarians like the Han Dynasty. If the monarch centralizes power, he must abandon the past. The political model of tribal alliances colluding to fight together—my lord... is naturally a big obstacle in the way. To put it bluntly, the emperor will stand on their side sooner or later, and this time's shady trick of borrowing troops is proof."
He Lanna blew his beard and stared at him and said: "I learn everything from the Han people. I don't understand the emperor, what's so good about the Han people's way of dressing and eating? What's the use of a war disaster?" Isn’t that what you told me last time about the Sima family who was partial to the Southern Dynasty!”
"The farming civilization of the Han people is to tie people to the fields and land, and they can't leave without it. If things go on like this, it will naturally wipe out people's desire to kill and fight; but the nomadic life of the Xianbei people is to live on the grass. All the property can be taken away with a horse, no worries, no traces, all the people are soldiers, if you want better supplies, you can only rely on plunder and war - the fighting power is naturally strong." Chao Ru licked his lips, Seeing that He Lanna was still puzzled, he made an analogy, "Hu people are wolves, and Han people are sheep. After the wolves captured the sheepfold, the wolf leader wanted to turn the rest of the wolves into sheep. Talent—I am alone.”
He Lanna understood now, and couldn't help but change his face in horror: "The emperor wants to destroy me and other heroes?!"
Chao Ru raised his hand and shook: "Until the last moment, the emperor doesn't want to fight with you. That's why this time we use such a roundabout way to weaken the Helan family's military power. If I guess right, this time After the emperor returned from his personal conquest, the top priority must be to force the Changsun family and other Xianbei tribes to hand over their military power. At that time, the Helan family's strength will be greatly damaged due to this northern expedition, and naturally they will no longer be able to be the leader. Orders are like a mess of loose sand, at that time, the plan we made earlier will be broken, and we can only let other fish break it one by one."
"——This must be the bad move of that old man Cui from the Shangshu Office! This group of Han Party is the most cunning!"
But Chao Ru said in his heart: According to his observations in the palace these days, Cui Hong is more than stable and lacks opportunities, so he may not be able to help Tuoba Gui with such a series of intertwined schemes. I am afraid that his opponent may have another There are people.
"In your opinion, how should you deal with it?"
Chao Ru covered her mouth and coughed a few times: "Once the emperor returns victorious, he will definitely use the power of victory to cut down the army, so if you want to avoid disaster, you can only let him fight an unwinnable battle."
He Lanna shook his head and said: "The emperor has always been a hero on horseback. He is good at fighting and has a persevering temperament. Even if he fights every soldier, he must achieve his goal. This time, he left the King of Wei Tuobayi in Pingcheng Sitting in the town, responsible for the stability of the rear and the transportation of food and grass, it can be seen that the planning is thorough. No matter how brave the Gaoche people are, they are mobs, and they will never be the emperor's opponent."
Chao Ru smiled slightly: "There is no general who is sure to win in this world. Once a war starts, it is full of variables and coincidences. If the two armies are at war, since the emperor remains the same, the only way is to let the Gaoche people change."
He Lanna waved his hand: "Is it up to me to decide whether Gao Che Shanyu Hulu's light changes or not?" As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, and stared at this unattractive domestic slave with dumbfounded eyes.
A flash of light flashed in Chao Ru's eyes, he nodded gently, and said in a low voice: "The emperor's heavy troops came out of the clouds, went to Daijun, and marched along the Shengle area. This is based on the previous route of Gaoche's southward invasion It is an active blocking strategy. But if Hu Luguang does not go to Shengle but instead attacks Yanmen, Guancheng City on the other side, the emperor's hard work is doomed to return in vain, and the king's private soldiers will also be unscathed , is still the number one wealthy family in Xianbei."
Some of the Yanmen Pass defenders had already gone north to support the Shengle battlefield in Daijun. Tuobagui arranged for them not to return to the defense for the time being, but to station on the flanks to wait for work and to support the main force on the move. Therefore, the troops in Yanmen Pass were empty and unprepared at this time. And the incident happened suddenly, once the battle started, the high chariot cavalry would not be able to stop.And once the Gaoche people break through the city, they will burn, kill, loot and loot everything, He Lanna didn't expect Chao Ru to look sick, and every word would be murderous and decisive: "You want me...to cooperate with the enemy? !"
Chao Ru said calmly: "Gao Che has no territorial claims on Wei State, and Hu Luguang's nature is greedy and easy to kill. He can't hold Yanmen Pass, but it's just a disaster and he will retreat after a few days." He raised his eyes and looked at He Lanna: "Besides, Yanmen Pass has always been Changsun Song's sphere of influence. The Changsun family, like King Wei, supports the eldest son of the emperor, Tuoba Si. If his strength is damaged, it will be beneficial to the emperor in the future."
He Lanna was not stupid, and after thinking about it again, he realized what was going on. He gritted his teeth and said, "This matter is very confidential and very dangerous. It needs a bold and careful person to tip off the news."
Chao Ru got up slowly, raised his hands to press his chest and bowed in a salute: "If there is no leader, I would have died of an incurable disease in the wilderness even if I didn't die under the sword of the army. "
He Lanna was overjoyed, and immediately began to arrange for Chao Ru to leave the capital. Chao Ru returned to the palace overnight before the curfew for fear of arousing suspicion.Sitting in the rickety car, Chao Ru raised the corner of the curtain, looked up at the vast night sky.
After half a day, I don't know where the army of the Northern Expedition has gone; and after this battle, how many people will there be left?
There was a wave of light in Chao Ru's eyes. He let go of the curtain and sat back with a blank expression on his face: Tuoba Gui knew that the Yanmen Pass had been lost, and with his nature, he would never let it go and return empty-handed. He would chase all night and take the initiative The decisive battle—from Shengle to Yanmen, it took thousands of miles, and it took a long time. No one can guarantee what will happen on the way.
From then on, it depends on who is the one who turns the clouds and rains.
Chao Ru smiled silently in the deep night, but a line of tears fell silently and slowly.
At this time Liaodong Dragon City
After a while, the Houyan Palace was as quiet as death, suddenly there was the sound of a horseshoe stepping through the void, a Pegasus galloped on the galloping road, and in a blink of an eye it had arrived at the gate of the palace.The knight dismounted from his horse, and just knocked once, when the heavy palace door opened in response, but a guard in solid armor poked his head out and whispered, "How is it?"
It turned out that no one in the whole palace fell asleep, they were all on the alert, like surrounding the palace with a subway barrel.
The person who reported the letter nodded fiercely: "The emperor was murdered by the traitor Duan Ji during the autumn hunt, and has already passed away. General Feng is sending troops to quell the chaos, and will lead the army into the city soon, please report to His Royal Highness Hejian King! "
The palace guard nodded, turned around and raised his hand, and immediately someone was holding a lantern and rushed away. Soon, the fire dragons lit up along the pavilions and pavilions, and instantly lit the Yanhuang Palace in the dark like daytime, dormant all the time. The people in the dark have all flocked out so far, rushing towards the depths of the palace.
The commotion outside the hall quickly alarmed the people inside. Empress Dowager Ding stood up with the brocade quilt in her arms, her face paled in fright, and she hurriedly buried herself in the naked chest behind her: "Xi... what, what's going on here? Didn't the emperor come back suddenly? I...we..."
Murong Xi kissed Empress Dowager Ding's disheveled temples, and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, I'll go out and have a look, you stay here and don't go out, no one will dare to hurt you."
He got up and sat down on the bed, pulled a loose kimono and tied it on, and strode out of the palace. Seeing that Feng Jun's soldiers were guarding the door with open fire, the leader strode forward, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, it's your turn." !"
Murong Xi nodded, stepped down the steps, and ordered: "Immediately seal the four gates, all palace rooms, everyone is allowed to enter and not to leave, including Queen Mother Ding—until Feng Ba's army enters the city!"
Everyone was ordered to disperse, only Murong Xi was left standing there with a pale face.A few years passed by, and he had grown from an indistinguishable young man into a handsome and slender young man. The softness and charm of the past were gone, only his eyes still had a bit of enchanting beauty.
He looked back at the ghostly palaces and pools in the dark night, and coldly raised the corners of his lips: After so many years of swords and swords, he wandered through the gate of ghosts countless times, and from now on he can finally sleep peacefully!
Since Murong Bao was defeated by Tuobagui five years ago and retreated to Dragon City, Houyan, who lost the territory of the Central Plains, has fallen into a series of turmoil.It's ridiculous that Murong Bao, whose throne is in turmoil, never forgets to get rid of his brother whom he has hated for a long time. Just before he was about to do it, his uncle Lan Khan rebelled and wiped out the Emperor Houyan who was too unworthy of his father. King Changli, the men of the Murong family in the Later Yan Dynasty were of course unwilling to resign themselves to imperial power. After a series of bloody battles, Murong Bao's eldest son Murong Sheng tried his best to put down the chaos of Lan Khan, wiped out the whole family of the Lan family, and finally got to report to his father. Qiu, and respected his mother Ding as the queen mother, and regained control of the Houyan regime.
Empress Dowager Ding was a young widow and lonely in the palace, so she fell in love with the handsome uncle. Murong Sheng also held a grudge against Murong Xi and tried to kill the only remaining uncle for many times. At the same time, Murong Sheng summoned Feng Ba, who was already a general, to lead the army into the city to put down the rebellion overnight.
"Congratulations, General, Your Highness for fulfilling his wish." A thick and deep voice behind him brought him back to his senses, and a gnawing smile appeared on the corner of Murong Xi's lips: "Isn't the king's wish the general's wish?" He approached a few Stepping forward, he stretched out his hand to caress the hair on Feng Ba's sideburns, "Is it because the general doesn't want me to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan and go further?"
Feng Ba said bluntly: "The emperor's son is still in his infancy, and His Highness has the backing of Queen Mother Ding, so it is reasonable to seize the throne from my nephew."
Murong Xi laughed, turned his head to him, and whispered in his ear: "Is Ai Qing jealous? I am Queen Mother Ding's man, but I am also your woman~"
Feng Ba's scalp went numb, he clutched his neck and staggered back a step, looking at Murong Xi with infatuation, bewilderment but also a trace of hatred.Over the years, Murong Xi has relied on his good appearance to be a good husband and wife, so why has he ever had a little sincerity towards him under his unrestrained appearance?But he was stuck in the mud and couldn't extricate himself, he was willing to be driven by him and used by him, and even launched a palace coup to bloody Dragon City in order to put him on the dragon chair-but even so, Murong Xi didn't really have him in his heart, he insisted If you don't know yourself, how can you not hate?
Murong Xi was not afraid of Feng Ba's disloyalty at all, he just smiled and said with a flick of his sleeves, "Tomorrow morning, this king will invite the queen mother to come to the court to announce the death of Emperor Daxing, and order me to ascend the throne, please General Feng led [-] soldiers to ambush under the tent, if anyone disagrees, he will be killed immediately!"
Feng Ba shuddered all over, and bowed in response—whether he wanted to or not, since the tonight palace coup, his fate has been tied to Murong Xi's.
Murong Xi lowered his eyelids and looked at Feng Ba - from this angle, the tall and straight man in armor in front of him vaguely resembled Tuoba Gui.When I met him for the first time, he was also like the silver helmet and black armor, with extraordinary heroism, like a god of war coming to the world.
Murong Xi has also heard about all the major events that have happened in the Central Plains, which has gone away from him. Now that man has been kicked out of the throne, and the entire Xiyan Empire has been handed over to others; on the other hand, he is no longer powerless and helpless Tuobagui, who is about to become the veritable emperor of Houyan in the name of a lord, will you look at me with admiration as time has changed?
