In the mid-heaven of the moon, a firework that shot straight into the sky suddenly ignited in the silent night sky.

Yao Song knelt in front of Yao Xingling in plain clothes, glanced out of the window lightly, then turned his head again, and continued to chant scriptures for his dead brother with clasped hands, his brows immersed in sorrow.

Suddenly there was a clatter of armor outside the mourning hall, and Di Bozhi, who was in armor and blood splattered all over his face, climbed up the stairs and stopped to listen. I personally invited Kumarajiva, an eminent monk from the Western Regions, to translate this scripture, and I couldn't put it down even more during my lifetime.Di Bozhi was filled with emotion, so he said in a low voice to the burly men who followed him: "I will go inside to report to Yao Gong, and I will pay homage to the late king. You can just wait outside and don't make any noise." Sure enough, he pushed the door to the hall alone, respectfully enshrined the head in his hand in front of the Zi Palace, then respectfully knelt down and kowtowed and said: "Shan Yu's ambition was not rewarded but he was murdered by the harem bitch. The corpse of the poisonous woman has been smashed to pieces, and now the great revenge has been avenged, Shan Yu can go with peace of mind!"

Yao Song lowered his eyelids, unwilling to look at the unsightly broken head, he choked up and said: "Brother Ren Ai left the Sun family a humble life, but she was poisoned and murdered by her, and he died in a terrible way. Every time Zijun thinks about it, it hurts his heart Split lung!"

Di Bozhi followed Yao Xing for more than ten years and was truly loyal to him. Hearing this, he couldn't help crying again. Yao Song wiped his tears and got up, took a libation before the coffin, spilled a cup on the ground, and served a cup in front of Di Bozhi, his eyes were red Authentic: "Thanks to the general for avenging Shan Yu, please drink this cup to comfort the heroic spirit." Di Bozhi did not doubt that he was there, so he drank it all at once.

Yao Song knelt down side by side with him again, and asked softly, "Now that there are few national suspects inside, and there are strong troops outside, what is the general's best strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Di Bozhi said categorically: "The last general is a rough man, he only knows how to fight to the death with loyalty to the Lord! If Xiyan is unjust and goes out to attack the funeral, I will lead the whole army to defend Huaiyuan to the death! It is better to fight without a single soldier than to retreat half a step! "

His righteous indignation filled his blood with enthusiasm, so he casually raised his hand to wipe his face and sweat, but when he wiped it on his lips, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he took it off, there was a purple-black bloodstain on the back of his hand. Startled, he wiped it hard again and again, only to find that more and more black blood gushed out from between his mouth and nose!Yao Song turned his head with concern and said, "Why did the general cough up blood suddenly? Could it be that he ate something by mistake?"

Di Bozhi suddenly screamed, but vomited a big mouthful of blood, staggered and fell to the ground convulsively, and stretched out his arms tremblingly, pointing at Yao Song: "Wine, the wine...is poisonous!"

Yao Song pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "Don't blame the general, the 'Queen Dowager' Yizhi, I am afraid that you will support your soldiers and bully her orphans and widows. I will follow orders."

Di Bozhi grabbed his neck violently, his whole face was horribly purple, black blood gushed from his eyes, ears, lips and nose, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yao, Yao Song! Everything is your fault. For! I, I fell for your trap!"

Yao Song knelt down and wiped away the old and new blood all over his face with a white silk handkerchief, and said softly: "I didn't want to kill you, but your stupid loyalty killed you."

"Why, why... you are also a descendant of the Yao family, why... you want to destroy the Great Wall yourself!"

Yao Song took a deep breath, stood up straight, and suddenly looked at him with a sneer smile, like a ghost in the dim light of the mourning hall: "Okay, let me tell you, what is the purpose of my planning for the rest of my life!"

Yao Song recalled Yao Xing's expression before he died.

Growing up in a powerful family with many heirs like the Yao family, both he and he have long understood what it means to be sinister. The so-called brothers, relatives and friends have no one to trust, and they can turn their faces against each other ruthlessly for self-interest.Yao Xing never cared about the so-called brotherhood in his normal affairs, from the very beginning when he deliberately planned to get rid of Yao Song who was competing with him, to later when he made public his own brother Yao Xuming's candid criminal lord, he never regretted it.But Yao Song himself knew that under his step-by-step guidance, Yao Xing really began to trust him, the only so-called "sibling" who survived at the moment when Hou Qin was almost at the end of his rope.

So when there was no one around, Yao Xing, who was dying, held his younger brother's hand tightly, coughing up blood while explaining the funeral: Let him swear to the death not to surrender to Xiyan, to protect his last little blood and flee westward to Mobei Yunyun.After Yao Song listened quietly, he suddenly leaned over and whispered in the ear of Yao Xing, who had a red complexion and pale lips: "What I don't understand is, if the crown prince is too dull to help, so what?"

These words are no longer the words of a minister. Yao Xing heard a gurgling sound in his throat, and then vomited a mouthful of blood. After a long while, he gasped helplessly and said: "Then...you can replace him..."

Yao Song couldn't help but chuckle: "Shanyu, if Zijun really wanted to fight for the position, how could he sit back and watch Qin Lian lose and retreat all these years, and end up in the current dismal situation?"

Yao Xing's cloudy eyes widened. He wanted to move, but his whole body was stiff and he couldn't exert any strength: "You, what do you mean? You are also my Yao family's descendant... Why, how can you be willing to ruin the country and family!"

Yao Song shook his head and sighed, "When Shan Yu used his power to force me to be a prostitute, why didn't he think that I am also a descendant of the Yao family?"

Yao Xing was so shocked that he vomited a large amount of blood again: "Bitch! Dang, it was clear that you deliberately seduced me that day!"

"Yes, who told Shan Yu to do everything possible to get rid of me at that time? Everything I said to you was a lie, and it was all for self-protection." Yao Song looked down at him, and sarcastically said every word, " However, thanks to Shan Yu's lack of concentration, otherwise Yin Wei would have killed me many times that day, if Shan Yu's heartache hadn't stopped him, Zi Jun would have become a ghost under the sword!"

It turned out that even the death of the number one counselor beside him was the result of his deliberate planning!Yao Xing trembled all over his body, his chest heaved and panted like a dilapidated bellows: "Beast! What face do you have to see your father in the ground?!"

"Who wants to see him?" Yao Song sneered, "Because I sent him on the road with my own hands, 'Brother'!"

"Nizi!" Yao jumped up excitedly and rushed forward, but he could only roll off the bed and lie on the ground—the blood gushed out and formed a small puddle under his body.

"Nizi?" Yao Song stood up, shook his head and said regretfully, "Hasn't Shanyu come to his senses yet? I dare to do this because—"

"I am not a descendant of the Yao family."

Under the dim candlelight in front of the mourning hall, Yao Xing once again said these words indifferently to Di Bozhi, who was about to die, and saw the same expression of horror, unwillingness and even anger and hatred on his distorted face. , I couldn't help but feel a little secret pleasure in my heart - for more than ten years, he has hidden it from everyone in the world - even himself!

Everyone thought that his mother was just a lowly slave girl who was called by Yao Chang and would come and go. Even surviving was an extravagant wish. How could it be possible for her to have other people, and even have an affair with others to give birth to a wild species? !Yep, bastard.Yao Song didn't know the name of his biological father, and he never asked. Every time he took a selfie in the mirror, he knew very clearly that he had no blood relationship with anyone in the Yao family -- but it didn't matter, he was either in name or not. The concubine of the Yao family can always protect the lives of his mother and son in the mansion.However, he was too naive. Di Ren was still the first wife, and a simple word from the mistress of the family could kill an insignificant little slave girl.Afterwards, he didn't even have the qualifications to lay down on the dead body and cry bitterly. He just watched his mother wrapped in a torn mat and carried out of the house, where she was hastily buried.He thought it was because Yao Chang doted on his mother that the mistress killed her because of jealousy, but he was wrong again. He found out later that Yao Chang had long forgotten who his mother was, and the mistress killed her only because of the eldest son. A word from Yao Xing!

Yao Xing said: "This female slave is clumsy and obstinate, and is annoying." His biological mother ordered the female slave to confess to Yao Xing. Execution—of course she wouldn't know that Yao Xing was furious because he failed to rape—for this superior woman, executing a servant could be forgotten in a moment.

Everything in the whole family remains the same, only Yao Song's world collapsed - he lost his mother, but his nominal father and brother couldn't even remember such a humble woman in his life.

In this world, the strongest is always king!

He doesn't want to be like his mother, humble all his life, and live and die!

So in order to survive, he began to do everything possible to please "father", trying his best to stand out from the huge number of concubine sons. For this reason, he did not hesitate to use all schemes and tricks-until he met him in the city of Afang, which was full of phoenix trees.

At that time, he was full of scheming and acting, but he was unprepared and treated each other sincerely.

He is not Murong Chong, he is Ren Zhen.

Inside the mourning hall are white flags, and outside the mourning hall the moonlight is dim.Yao Song finally closed his eyes tiredly, stepped over the dead body of Di Bozhi at his feet, and walked out of the palace step by step——

Outside the door was the trembling Empress Qi and the crown prince—oh, it’s the new Chanyu now, and the corpses strewn all over the ground—the several personal lieutenants brought by Di Bozhi had already been ambushed and killed. .Yao Song bowed and paid his respects, Fang smiled and said: "The powerful ministers have been removed, the Queen Mother can rest assured. Di Bozhi's direct army stationed outside the city has also been handed over safely and fell into my hands-from now on, the new king will take the throne, so there is no need to be afraid of being killed again." There is a man with a heavy hand who dares to point fingers and speak lightly to abolish establishment."

Although the Qi family could only let it go under the pressure of Yao Song, but in fact, they had always secretly feared that Yao Song, who is also a member of the clan, would rob his nephew of the throne, and now he was relieved to hear his assurance: "Thank you, Mr. Yao, We orphans and widows will rely more on your support in the future."

Yao Song tried to comfort him again and again, and assured him that he "will do his best to keep the young master safe", which made the mother and son leave with peace of mind.He stood with his hands behind his back and looked back, only to realize that the dawn was already dawning behind him, and the sky was approaching.

There were many changes in the post-Qin Dynasty, and the world looked sideways at it.Ren Zhen in Chang'an, Fu Jian in Guzang, Meng Xun in Zhangye, and even Murong Chui in Zhongshan all knew about it, and they were all speculating on Yao Song, who had actually taken control of the military, what would happen next.

Any one of his choices will deeply affect the layout and plans of other countries and even the territory ownership of the entire Central Plains.

There was only one voice in the Xiyan court: "Fight!"

Everyone said that Yao Song was aiming at the throne. In order to eliminate dissidents, he actually killed the last general of his country when the army was overwhelming. Ping Huaiyuan!

Every day, Ren Zhen received countless such impassioned and impassioned invitations to fight. It seemed that to say a word late or to say a word was disloyal to the emperor and unpatriotic. Even Fu Jian, who was far away in Guzang, sent letters and agreed to send troops to each other, and at the same time attacked Beiliang. Compared with Hou Qin—on the contrary, Murong Yong, the commander-in-chief of the three armies who was on the front line, never called for a fight.

Ren Zhen knew that the current situation in Huaiyuan City was unclear, and it was related to Yao Song, and Murong Yong was waiting for his instructions - if it was the past, Murong Yong would have sent his troops to the west without hesitation, and would be quick to get rid of it.He thought mockingly to himself: Does this mean that Shu Ming finally started to trust Yao Song?

After waiting day after day, Ren Zhen ignored the calls for war from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and resolutely refused to issue a battle order—he could no longer meet Yao Song in arms, and he believed that Yao Song's various plans up to now would not Only for self-reliance.He asked himself, even if Yao Song really wanted to separate Mobei and establish himself as the king, he would probably just retreat to make it happen—it must be impossible, and he really couldn't bear it.

When Chang'an finally received the letter of credence from the Later Qin Dynasty, Ren Zhen in the Jinhua Palace heard the news. On the surface, the officials just ordered people to "present it" lightly, but in fact they almost jumped up from the dragon chair with excitement.

He hastily read all ten lines at a glance, and immediately issued an imperial edict ordering Murong Yong to cross the river to the west.

When the Xiyan army approached Huaiyuan, there was no post-Qin garrison around, and the city gate in the middle was already opened, and a white horse plain cart slowly drove out from the inside.

In March of Yangchun, Mobei is still cold and windy, and when it blows across the cheeks, it is like a knife cutting.The generals and soldiers of the Yan army were neat and tidy, watching the lone car slowly approaching silently under the fluttering banners.

Only Murong Zhong, the leader of the team, muttered with a little dissatisfaction immediately: "I didn't even fight, so I allowed them to ask for peace and surrender. This is not to divide the great achievements of our three battalions of Jiaoqi!" Murong Yong in front left Glancing over coldly, Murong Zhong flinched, and reluctantly responded: "The last general is worthless to be a general! Hou Qin has been forced by us to have no strength to fight and can only surrender, but the emperor is halfway through!" To stop the troops and promise to preserve the lives of the Queen Qin royal family, it is clear that General Ji’s victory in capturing Huaiyuan is great——!”

Diao Yun, who was standing side by side, interrupted him coldly and said: "Whether the general's merit is high or not is known to all courts, and the emperor naturally knows it well. How can we allow us to add more beaks."

Seeing the growing coldness in Murong Yong's eyes, Murong Zhong angrily kept silent.

The carriage stopped not far away, the curtain was raised, and Yao Song, who was dressed in plain clothes, jumped out of the carriage first, then turned around and helped out two women and children in the same attire inside the carriage.The three of them walked in front of Murong Yong and knelt down one by one. The woman in the middle couldn't help but shed tears first—it was the Qi family who was forced to surrender and abdicate after less than a month in the empress dowager's seat.The child beside him didn't understand, so he also cried loudly with his mother, only Yao Song who was left at the back said: "The empress dowager of the country is sympathetic to the world, and she can't bear the misery of the people, so she would like to turn hostility into jade silk, please come out of the city, and welcome the master Wang."

Murong Zhong secretly snorted mockingly in his heart, but unexpectedly saw his coach get off his horse and help the three of them up himself.Murong Yong looked at Yao Song and said calmly: "Mr. Yao has a compassionate heart. I hope that the beauty of an adult will stop the confrontation between the two countries. Our army is grateful for the great kindness."

Yao Song replied calmly, neither humble nor overbearing: "General, please follow the imperial edict of Emperor Yan, restrain the troops after entering the city, and autumn will not commit any crime."

Murong Yong's expression changed slightly, and he said after a while, "This is natural."

So the army marched out and filed into the city. Yao Song escorted the weeping mother and son of the Qi family to follow at the end of the team, silent - because no matter how much he said at this time, it would be in vain.It was he who forced the country to surrender in order to save the lives of the mother and son; it was he who threatened that the Yan army would become so powerful that the later Qin guards would be defenseless. The Empress Dowager; it was he who removed the remnants of the main force in the army, and even disbanded the army; it was he who drove the white horse and plain chariot with his own hands, and sent the last emperor of the Qin Dynasty out of the city to ask for surrender, ending all Yao's ambitions and glory in the Central Plains .

But he doesn't regret it.

He used to think that it would be his revenge if he finally seized the Yao family, and he thought that it would be a man's ambition to become the king of the world.But I don’t know how long ago I changed my mind—is it worth it?He doesn't want to know.But he knows that if there is true love in his heart, then learning to be perfect for this person is another kind of liberation and fulfillment.

Ren Zhen——

I want you to conquer the whole territory of Hou Qin without bloodshed!

I want you to be an army of the whole country without any worries, and compete with Murong Chui in the Central Plains!

I want you to look back at the territory of Jiangshan every time, and you will never forget my achievements of Yao Zijun!

After Murong Yong entered the city, he really kept his promise, and made three chapters of the agreement, and did not pursue or humiliate the relatives of the Yao family who lived in the palace. They were only put under house arrest and sent to Chang'an soon.At the same time, all useful materials were collected and organized in the palace for reconstruction purposes.When the search reached Yao Xing's bedroom that day, Yan Jun found the extremely delicate sand table - it marked all the water channels, ditches, and river dams that criss-crossed in Huaiyuan City.And all the main canals for diverting the Yellow River are linked together, and finally converge at a point directly opposite the city gate.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, knowing that this was the last line of defense left by Yao Qin—and once they broke through the city and the Yellow River burst its embankment, the huge water dragon that rushed over in an instant was enough to destroy thousands of troops!

Murong Yong stepped forward, raised the curtain to cover the sand table again, then glanced at Murong Zhong who was covered in cold sweat, and said indifferently: "Now you still think that the soldiers are not able to fight when they are approaching the city, is it our army's loss?" Murong Zhong gritted his teeth He bowed his head and couldn't say another word.Murong Yong ignored him, raised his hand and beckoned someone to carefully carry him away, and immediately sent him to Chang'an—the water conservancy facilities in Guanzhong, such as Zhengguo Canal and Bai Canal, have been in disrepair for many years and often silted up. If you can learn the essence of Huaiyuan Canal Construction, Under irrigation, the land in Guanzhong can get fertile land for thousands of miles.

He turned his head and looked out the window, and saw Yao Song in plain clothes coming from afar holding documents, seals and other things, his slender body looked like a banished fairy, and he sighed in his heart for the first time——Yao Zijun, thanks to you in this life In this world, he is no longer the enemy of the Murong clan!

In the late spring of 391 A.D., the Later Qin Dynasty officially delivered a surrender form to Xiyan, dedicating one county and three counties, and the west bank of the Yellow River was completely returned to the territory of Yan State. The three masters of the Later Qin Dynasty died in six years.
