I'm not Murong Chong

When Yao Song offered the city, the whole world was shocked.Especially Juqu Mengxun, who ruled Zhangye under the separatist regime, was the most shocked—he never expected that Yao Song would do everything possible to escape back to Houqin, not to protect the country and savior, but to make wedding clothes for others!Ren Zhen, no, Murong Chong, who was far away in Chang'an, easily became the biggest beneficiary!No wonder when Yao Song saw that he was actively planning the independence of Beiliang, he was completely happy to see the result and encouraged him. In fact, he had already set a dead end for him in his heart!With such a tactic, he immediately made Beiliang's lips feel cold and his teeth were cold, and he fell into a situation where he was under the enemy's back. Under the cracks between Fu Jian of Houliang and Murong Yong of Xiyan, how long can he survive as a small country?

His long-planned plan of stealing the country and arranging his position has become empty talk!

Frightened, Juqu Mengxun prepared his army for war and dared not slack off for a day. He immediately sent envoys to Zhongshan to ask for help from Murong Chui, the only Emperor Chengwu of Later Yan in northern China who might stand against Xiyan.

Everyone with a discerning eye knows that although the two Yans are from the same lineage, they have just signed a peace treaty.Sooner or later, a war will break out between the two countries, and no one dares to relax. Each of them is based on Tongguan and Puban as outposts, eyeing each other and guarding each other.

Zhongshan City is not so much the capital of the Houyan Kingdom, but a military fortress built with painstaking efforts.Emperor Murong Chui of Hou Yan spent his entire life in the army, with several ups and downs. He was only in his sixties when he was restored to the country and became a great treasure. Busy in attacking Mobei, they quietly dispatched troops to the south, captured Sizhou, Shangluo, and Nanyang successively, and at the same time firmly occupied the hometown of Yan State - Guandong, Jizhou, Qingzhou and other places. Front-line military defense, Houyan's current territory has already passed Tongguan, covering Guanzhong Yongzhou.

Now the founding emperor of Houyan is resting with his eyes closed in the bedroom of the Zhongshan Palace, with a thick stack of memorials beside his pillow.

There were crowds of people outside the palace gate, but they didn't hear a cough or pant, all because they were afraid of disturbing the rare lunch break for the old emperor.The prince Murong Bao who was still the leader paced back and forth for a long time, and couldn't help but whispered to the head servant, "When will father wake up?"

The head servant hurriedly waved his hand: "The emperor has been restless these days. Now that he has taken the medicine, it is very easy for him to take a rest for a while. Your highnesses and lords, please don't be alarmed."

Given Murong Bao's courage, he wouldn't dare to rush in and wake his father up - the fact that he attacked his younger brother Murong Xi repeatedly in Chang'an City that day has already been reported back to Zhongshan, and in the end he didn't bring his younger brother back to Zhongshan. Murong Chui Longyan was so angry that he almost abolished the position of the crown prince. This year has been like walking on thin ice, and he absolutely dare not twiddle his beard again.

Zhao Wang Muronglin, who had been following closely behind him, was dressed in a crimson gauze military robe, with the air of a sturdy military general, with narrow and long phoenix eyes exposed, and aggressive despite his heroic spirit. He pulled his elder brother's arm and lowered his voice: "The emperor Brother, the envoy from Beiliang has been here for a few days, and the emperor has been avoiding seeing him, so he must be really afraid of that little boy in the west and dare not take Juqu Mengxun in!"

Murong Bao hastily hissed, feeling very helpless with his younger brother who had always acted recklessly—Murong Chui defected to Qin and joined Fu Jian when Yan was still alive. At that time, Emperor Yan Murong Wei (Note 1) had reported the secret; later, his eldest brother Murong Ling was tricked by the former Qin Prime Minister Wang Meng and fled back to Qianyan. He reported to Murong Jun again, and his elder brother was defeated and died miserably—so for a long time, Murong Chui always hated this bastard who betrayed his father and brother many times.It wasn't until Fu Jian was defeated in the Feishui battle, the Central Plains was in chaos and all the heroes came together, Murong Chui raised his troops to restore the country, Murong Lin then relied on his martial arts skills, and made a lot of military exploits with Murong Chui's expeditions from south to north, which was gradually reused. Jin named Zhao Wang.

Murong Bao knew that although his brother, who was not a year or two younger than him, was brave in battle, he was reckless and greedy for profit, and he had lost his heart early—Murong Chui would use him to conquer the world, but he would never make such a disobedient son the heir apparent— As far as he is concerned, even if Murong Lin holds the military power, he is much safer than Murong Xi, who relies on the love of his parents to show off his power and show off his might!Therefore, they were also willing to win over King Zhao, and the two secretly united with each other and formed a party.He replied in a low voice: "It is said that Juqu Mengxun offended Murong Chong, and now Fu Jian and Murong Yong are going to attack him. He has no other way out, so he wants to join the father. Of course, Gu also hopes that the father can form an alliance with Beiliang And against Xiyan—”

Although he swallowed half a sentence, Murong Lin continued with a smile: "Once the relationship between the two Yans breaks down and the war resumes, Murong Xi, who is still in Chang'an as a hostage, will definitely be in danger." Coughing anxiously, the two brothers raised their eyes and looked up, only to see a middle-aged beautiful woman surrounded by emerald greens swaying towards her surrounded by maidservants. It was Murong Xi's biological mother Concubine Duan Yuan. Doting and holding the harem, most people at that time called it after a short paragraph.

At that moment, everyone saluted, only Prince Murong Bao bowed slightly, and called out "aunt" respectfully.After a short paragraph, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She was the sister of Murong Chui's main wife after the first paragraph. After all, the prince Murong Bao should indeed call her "Auntie", but now she rules the six palaces and is like a queen, but the prince Still deliberately not being called the aunt, it is indeed too disrespectful to her!

Murong Lin just smiled and said nothing, Duan Chong went out of the same door with her and it was not easy to talk, and the rest of the officials pretended not to hear them. When they were in a state of embarrassment, they suddenly heard the sound of changing clothes in the bedroom, followed by an old and A majestic voice sounded: "What are you waiting for outside? Come in!"

Everyone lowered their heads and filed in.

After a while, he stepped forward and offered Murong Chui the calming tea that he personally brewed, and said with a smile: "The emperor's complexion is rosy today, it is better than yesterday."

After Murong Chui drank, he closed his eyes and rested his mind for a while, before he felt his energy returned, so he opened his eyes and nodded slightly at her, and said in a harmonious voice: "You have merit in serving me." After speaking, he turned to Murong Bao, his tone steep Zhuan: "You are willing to wait outside for more than half an hour, presumably there is something urgent to catch up with Zou?"

Murong Bao hurriedly jumped up, and said respectfully: "My minister is here for the envoys of Beiliang—Zhangye is small but located in a strategic place. Since Juqu Mengxun is willing to be a minister of Houyan, accepting him is equivalent to the relationship between Guanzhong and Xiyang. A wedge has been inserted into the cool land, and they have to think about it before making any changes, which is of great benefit to our country."

Murong Chui said indifferently: "I'm afraid this action will anger Murong Chong, and give him a reason to tell the truth."

Zhao Wang Muronglin was the general of the Fujun at that time, and said at this moment: "Xiyan has just swallowed Houqin, and its strength has been damaged, and we have 20 elite soldiers. How can we be afraid of it? If Murong Chong tears up the covenant because of this, then we will just do it right here. This is an opportunity to march westward and plot Guanzhong!"

After a short period of time, he trembled slightly when he heard the words, raised his head and wanted to speak in panic, but dared not.Murong Chui glanced at her, coughed lightly, lowered his eyes and said: "It seems that King Zhao also agrees to start a war with Xiyan immediately?"

Murong Lin said: "While Murong Chong's vitality has not recovered and his foothold is unstable, we can immediately attack Tongguan and catch him by surprise!"

Murong Chui suddenly stretched out his hand, and knocked the empty soup bowl on the ground. Amidst the sound of brittle porcelain shattering, he raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "Have you two elder brothers forgotten that your real brother is still here?" In the city of Chang’an! Feng Ba has news that Murong Chong has refused his resignation many times, and there are many hidden lines around the post house to monitor, and it is impossible to leave secretly—Murong Chong has long Watch out for us! It's good for you, you don't care about Xi'er's safety or death at all! The descendants of the Tian family don't care about brotherhood at all!"

When he got angry, his two sons knelt down together, and the rest of them also knelt on the ground suddenly. It was Duan Chong, the uncle of the crown prince's mother's family, who tremblingly advised: "The emperor calm down. Murong rushes to this place." Ju also shows that he is more afraid of the war between the two countries, so he has been holding on to King Hejian as a hostage, the crown prince and King Zhao are also concerned about chaos, and want to force peace through war, so that he will obediently send King Hejian back to Zhongshan."

Murong Chui took a deep breath, and shook his gray beard: "Then we must rely on victory to establish our prestige! Let me ask you, if there is a war at this time, will Tongguan guard Tuobagui be sure of victory?"

Murong Lin curled his lips inwardly - he felt that Murong Chong was nothing but a vain name for this young general who was able to take charge of his life alone.Even if Tuoba Gui won a small victory two years ago, it was because Murong Xi was incompetent, reckless and rash, and made Zhu Zi famous. !

Just as he was about to speak, Murong Bao hurriedly waved his hands secretly, and he kowtowed again to admit his mistake, admitting that he was "not thoughtful".

Murong Chui turned his head and ignored it, his chest was heaving up and down, his eyes were sharp after a short period of time, he hurriedly got up to support him, he kept stroking his back, and when everyone left, Murong Chui also recovered his breath, and then he choked up and said: " Concubines, mothers and children are useless, dragging down the great cause of the emperor..."

Murong Chui pressed her hand, patted her hand reassuringly, shook his head and said, "Xi'er is also my own flesh and blood, how can I just sit idly by? Besides, now is not a good time to declare war on Xiyan. Otherwise, they will send troops to the northwest, I have already sent troops to attack Tongguan when I have no time to fight against Qin and he has no time to care about it." After a pause, he knew that his beloved concubine was submissive and gentle but had no interest in important matters of state affairs, so naturally he would not respond to this topic , but also because of this, he was not afraid of her secretly colluding with his mother's family, the Xianbei wealthy Duan family, and he was willing to say something to her: "Why don't I want to unify the Central Plains? But Puban guard Zhai Bin is Chief Dingling He is not from our Xianbei tribe. He has meritorious service in the founding of the country, he is arrogant and arrogant, he has repeatedly asked for officials, and he is insatiable. Internally, how dare I take the risk of going to war when the internal worries are still unresolved?"

After a short paragraph, he half-knowledged and said: "Since Zhai Bin is arrogant and arrogant, why doesn't the emperor just get rid of him?"

"Back then when I rebelled against the former Qin Dynasty and made myself king, Zhai Bin led the whole family's elite soldiers to help, and just now I captured Sizhou, Jizhou, and was able to restore the country." Murong Chui said with a wry smile, "Now that he has no rebellion and hastily killed him, people will surely It is said that I am afraid of his merits; we recruit heroes to achieve great success, and we must not show others that we are narrow-minded and lose the hope of the world." The most important thing is that Zhai Bin also has good friends with the Duan family, and he has a large army. He can know the court in Puban In PepsiCo, it will take a lot of hard work for him to uproot Zhai Bin's influence without leaving future troubles.

On the other hand, looking at his own children and grandchildren, Murong Ling, the eldest son who was the most sympathetic to his father, died under Wang Meng's tricks. Although Murong Chui remembered his dead wife and made his second son Murong Bao the heir apparent, in daily life, judging by his talents, he was not enough to keep his success, let alone unify the world?If it weren't for a group of veteran officials in the court, such as Duan Chong and Lan Han, who tried their best to protect the crown prince, Murong Chui would have thought of abolishing him sooner rather than later.But if Murong Bao is not established, who should be established?Although he has many descendants, except for a few who are still young, among the next generation, he can't pick out a person who is outstanding and worthy of great responsibility.

After a short paragraph, it is true that I don't understand much at this time, so I can only repeatedly touch my husband's chest, expressing silent comfort.Murong Chui was stunned for a long while, then suddenly he let out a long sigh, and his words were desolate: "I was enthroned in the same year as that Murong Chong, and he was still in his prime, and I am already sitting on the throne!"

This is Hou Yan's most fatal weakness - no successor!If there is a holiday in the future, it is not yet known who will die, but now he can't wait anymore-some things have to be rushed.

The three gates on the west wall of Chang'an are opened, and the official road of Yongmen in the middle is lined with honor guards and banners, and it is the emperor who is driving in person.

Ren Zhen was wearing the top-of-the-sky crown, and was sitting in the brilliant Longyu, but he was restless like a horse monkey. From time to time, he had to get up and stretch his neck to look out. Dressed in layers, upon seeing this, he immediately leaned over with a smile and said, "According to what General Diao said in his letter, it will be about this time. Don't worry, the emperor. Don't worry." Since ancient times, how can an emperor receive surrendered ministers? So excited to dress up in the morning and wait at the gate of the city in person?His own emperor is really very different.

Ren Zhen turned his head impatiently, the jade tassels under the crown swayed wildly due to the force, dazzled him for a while, and the crown on his head was really heavy, it really weighed on his heart Fire started.Wu Lie felt ashamed, knowing that the master was impatient now, he had better say less and make less mistakes.So a group of people waited silently with the emperor under the big sun—until a cloud of smoke and dust rose in the distance, it was obvious that a group of people and horses were coming, and there was a slight commotion in the crowd—under the sky The biggest subjugated minister has finally arrived!

Hearing this, Ren Zhen lifted the curtain and stepped down, seeing that it meant to greet him on foot—Wu Lie hurriedly got off his horse, and bit the bullet to stop him: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wan Cheng, you must not do this, so—"

Ren Zhen gave him a silent look, and managed to swallow the second half of the sentence.Fortunately, I came back rationally, knowing that I could not be rude to others, so I had to stand still and look forward to it.

After finally driving the car to a steady stop on the official road, Ren Zhen strode forward. It was probably the first time for Yan Jun, who was in charge of the guards, to see Long Yan. They all knelt down to pay their respects like the wind blowing wheat waves, but they all felt that there was a blur in front of them. , I saw that the dragon would rush all the way like a fire-breathing wind and clouds. It can be called a dragon that sees its head but never its tail.

Ren Zhen came to the leading carriage and took a breath before lifting the curtain. On the silk mat sat a beautiful woman with a silver hairpin and plain clothes, who was huddled in a corner, looking at him in horror.

"... Excuse me." Ren Zhen threw down the curtain, and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain on the second carriage following behind. Inside was a three-year-old child, wearing a white gauze long-distance travel crown, sitting on the lap of the nurse. Sobbing in a low voice, now staring blankly at this strange sorghum with eyes and mouth open as if frightened.

Just as Ren Zhen frowned and clicked his tongue, he heard a lazy and deep voice behind him: "The emperor is so eager and helpless under everyone's eyes, isn't he afraid of being recorded one by one by the Spring and Autumn History?"

Ren Zhen turned around slowly, and the nine pearls and jade tassels in front of him kept shaking, but they couldn't hide his burning gaze—it had been nearly three years since Gu Zang said goodbye in a hurry, and he finally came back again. saw him!

Ren Zhen raised his hand, gathered the bridle, looked up at Yao Song who was sitting on the horse, and said in a low voice: "I lost my favorite thing and was eager to find it, so I was so abnormal."

The person in front of him taught that he was a little thinner back then, but the rolling yellow sand on the Longshang did not leave a trace of dust on his fair and handsome face. His eyes were still lacquered, and his lips seemed to be painted vermilion. It was his Yao Zijun.

He originally thought that he had been used to the impermanence of coming and going for so many years, but after losing and recovering, he realized that he would never be able to treat him calmly!The moment when the four eyes meet each other, the feeling of knowing each other, thinking about each other, getting along with each other and loving each other is vivid and never forgotten.

Yao Song stared at him condescendingly, and smiled slightly for a while: "Then you can find it now?"

Ren Zhen let go of the rein, and tightly held Yao Song's hands that were especially cold in the hot weather, feeling his unknown trembling and throbbing, and sighed, "Now I finally...return my pearl."

After the surrender of the Qin Dynasty, Xiyan avoided a series of wars and won the land of Mobei without bloodshed, controlled the Western Regions remotely, and pushed the northwest territory of the empire to the north of Yumen Pass.And because many disarmed post-Qin soldiers were still displaced in the Mobei area, General Murong Yong temporarily stayed in Huaiyuan to reassure the people and restore their jobs and stabilize people's hearts.Fortunately, Ren Zhen never intended to embarrass the orphans and widows who have been treated by generations. The humiliation of Qingyi Yujiu, the king of subjugation, which has been common in the past dynasties, did not happen. With "Antai Junjun", the two mothers and sons spent the rest of their lives in fine clothes and fine food. Among the rest of the ministers, except those who had no intention of official career, they were all given official positions according to their talents-only An Cheng, who was once the number one powerful figure in the later Qin Dynasty, But Gong Yaosong didn't see any news for a long time.

At nightfall, Yao Song opened the door and entered the room with half-dry and wet hair loose after taking a bath, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Does the king of a country have uninvited bad habits?" Ren Zhen never said anything in front of him. With a face, he walked over with a smile, grabbed him and said, "I also want to report when I enter my house?"

Yao Song couldn't help it, he burst out laughing, and suddenly his color was like a spring flower, illuminating the whole room brightly: "Then please let the emperor let me out of the palace as soon as possible."

Ren Zhen saw that his body was full of moisture, so he pulled him to sit down by the couch, took a silk handkerchief and dried his long hair strand by strand after him, and said poorly, "Where are you going, there is My family, why bother to look far away?"

Yao Song gave him a sideways glance: "You're always so preposterous. It's useless to scare people into dying for you—" Ren Zhen put down his silk handkerchief, hugged him from behind, and said seriously, "I don't want you to die for me anymore. Yes! The changes in Guzang and Huaiyuan, you didn’t have a single word to say beforehand, but have you ever thought about how to deal with it if it doesn’t work out? How should I deal with it if I’m thousands of miles away and can’t save it?” Yao Song Silent and speechless, I heard him continue: "That day outside Chang'an City, I saw that although you were in high spirits, your appearance was thin, and you seemed to have deficiencies. You have always been weak, but you always want to be strong. You have always worked hard. Is food and clothing a long-term solution? If there is no such thing as a world to share with you, what use would I want? Now that I have been reluctant to reveal your merits, and reward you for reuse, I just want to hide you in the palace to recuperate and recuperate first. Some time." Ren Zhen stroked Yao Song's black hair affectionately back and forth, and said softly, "Zi Jun, you are too tired."

Yao Song's heart twitched, and there seemed to be a warm current rushing through his limbs and bones in a trance. He turned his head and looked straight into Ren Zhen's eyes.

At this moment, thousands of words were like wasteland, Ren Zhen couldn't help but leaned slightly, kissing the treasure he had lost and recovered.

Note 1: Murong Wei, the former emperor of the last Yan Dynasty, was Murong Chong's eldest brother. When his mother Ke Zuhun was the queen mother, he forced the wife of Murong Chui, who was then king of Wu at that time, to take poison and commit suicide after a long period of time. The two descendants became enemies .
