Long Song Wanli Dingshan River

In the Tai Chi Hall, before the two rows of Chu officials stood still, the envoys of the Great Wei had already stepped up to the hall. As usual, they commented on each of the Chu officials, and then their eyes fell on the white crane incense burners on both sides of the red wall.

"Leisurely, leisurely." Wei envoy patted the bronze crane with his hands, and paced in front of the Danbi. He stretched his waist, and sat down cross-legged in front of Danbi, "You are leisurely, I am not leisurely, if you don't hand it over for a day? Princess Yingchuan, I will come? Ask for it? One day. After all, the king of Wei loves the princess so much, I If you return to Wei Ting empty-handed, it will be a serious crime of beheading."

A Chuchen had been bored by him for a few days, and said in a choked voice, "If you really love her, why would you send her here for a marriage? Now you're putting on an air of hypocrisy!"

The envoy Wei turned around from the hall and said, "It seems that the state of Chu also has some criticisms about this marriage. What you said just now may represent the state of Chu?"

Chu Chen, who made a loud noise, lost all confidence.

Ambassador Wei became more and more pleased: "It seems that Haohao Chu Ting really has no one who dares to speak the truth. I heard that a few days ago, there was a loyal minister of the state of Chu who told the truth. He was beheaded and hanged at the gate of the palace for public display—"

He deliberately paused, admiring the embarrassment on the faces of Chu Ting officials.

None of the courtiers present did not know that the palace had changed that day, and they all understood what he said. He meant that through the passing of Prime Minister Mei, the predecessor who made a fuss at the gate of the palace? The book servant shot Song Yu. Unceasingly, the Chu ministers present are all the courtiers of the Chu court? For fear of leaving something to say, they just kept silent.

"On that day, in the middle of the Song Dynasty, there was a letter in the body of the plum minister? What did you shout for?" The envoy Wei stood still in the hall, pretending not to remember clearly, "Oh! Sir Sikong, the current consul of the state of Chu, is Former Emperor Zhou? Congratulations!"

This topic became more and more sensitive, and the minister was even more silent.

On the left side of the Tai Chi Hall, the golden gauze curtain swayed slightly, and Zhu Zheng was on the inside of the gauze curtain, walking quietly and quietly.

The important ministers in the hall blocked it, and the Wei envoy couldn't see the people behind the curtain, let alone the Wei Guo envoy? The minister was so proud that he didn't notice anything unusual at all.

Seeing that no one dared to speak out, the envoys of the State of Wei became more and more pleased, and kept talking: "Last winter, Lord Sikong of your country was captured to Jinguan City in Yizhou. The Duke of Yizhou at that time sent people to I searched Lord Sikong's mansion, and found a jade sword from it—" Wei Envoy paused, and looked around, Fang pretended to be surprised, "It's the jade sword Huairen!"

It was the first time for the court officials to hear about this matter, and they only exchanged glances with each other, not daring to speak nonsense.

The envoy Wei went on to say: "You are living in the south, so I'm afraid you don't know the jade sword Huairen. My ancestral home is Chang'an, and I live in Gyeonggi. When I was enthroned, I had the honor to look at it from a distance. Zhou Tianzi respectfully, at that time, he His saber is the jade sword Huairen."

Chu Chen on the far left couldn't help squinting. Inside the gauze curtain, Zhu Zheng was pacing with a calm demeanor, and the soft white cloth draped softly across the ground, almost silently.

"It's a coincidence that this Duke of Yizhou came to Jiangling this time, and he was stabbed secretly." Wei envoy stroked his thin beard, "Could it be...in this Jiangling city, some people were afraid of revealing their identities, so they stayed overnight." Stabbed the Lord of Yizhou?"

"You... Hugh? Nonsense!" Yi Chuchen said.

The envoy Wei laughed, and continued, "When I came to Jiangling City, I saw the big black banner that was often sung by General Zhaowu of the former dynasty flying above the palace city. It's ridiculous, ridiculous!"

"General Zhaowu of the Great Zhou Dynasty often sang. He was vicious and violent. He was a general who brought disaster to the country. He conquered everywhere and exhausted the kingdom of the Great Zhou. He died for four generations. Now? There is a country that will control him? A pure black banner Worshiping him like a god is really a joke in the world!"

Behind the gauze curtain, Zhu Zheng's originally calm steps stopped suddenly.

A Chu minister said: "Wei envoy, your letter of war has been issued, and you still go to the court every day, with harsh words, what do you want to do! Princess Yingchuan has become my queen of Chu. If I, Chu, listen to you, I will A king and queen donate at will, how will they stand in the land of six heroes?"

"What I want to do, I wrote it clearly in the letter of war. Either hand it over to the princess, or... hand it over to Changge, to thank the world!"

The gauze curtain was lifted lightly, and Chu Ting suddenly fell silent.

The envoys of the Great Wei Dynasty were blocked by the ministers, thinking that they were intimidating the crowd, and said comfortably: "Chang Ge six rejects the ghost army, kills the Yue clan, suppresses Yuzhou, seizes Yizhou and enters the main road to Shu, and the Five Kingdoms Lianheng him offended? Six and a half offences, the current princes, which one does not hate him deeply, if your Chu State insists on worshiping Chang Ge, today I will also put the words here, do not kill Chang Ge, do not hand Chang Ge The iron hoofs of my five armies will eventually walk all over your Southern Chu territory!"

All the ministers of Chu bowed their heads like a wheat wave, and took three steps back.

Envoy Wei was still enjoying himself, but he heard a sentence from behind him, "You just said, where is your ancestral home?"

The sound was as cold as ice. Wei envoy turned around and saw a white-clothed official standing above the court hall. He gave a short laugh and said, "Chu Ting, this is the one who finally came out with a long mouth."

Zhu Zheng walked out from among the ministers of Chu. Along the way, the ministers of Chu respectfully bowed and gave way. Although the envoy Wei did not know the person who came, seeing the ministers of Chu like this, he wondered in his heart that he did not know this person. Who is it, and why is it so coercive.

Zhu Zheng's eyes darkened, and he said coldly? He asked again: "Where is your ancestral home?"

This person's face is cold and serious, and when his face is downcast, it is full of divine power. Wei envoy tried his best to keep his pace, not letting himself back down: "Three generations of my ancestors are all from Chang'an, and they know everything about the Great Zhou Dynasty like the palm of their hands! I just said that." It’s even more true!”

Zhu Zheng turned his face to the side, and gave a very light smile? That smile was as cold as the winter wind, suddenly blowing the Chu court quite a bit colder.

Zhu Zheng held back his hands and said in a deep voice, "Drag it out, fifty big boards."

The soldiers of Chu State entered in response, and the envoy of Wei shouted in a panic: "The two armies are fighting, and if you don't kill them? Envoys, Chu State is so disregarding etiquette. It is in vain that it is called Liuxiong and a big country!"

Zhu Zheng only glanced at him, and the Chu soldiers rushed forward, pushed him down, and dragged him out by his ankles.

The stick punishment is just outside the hall. This envoy of Wei? Thinking about it? He is used to rich clothes and jade food. Where has he suffered? This kind of pain is even worse with one cry? It is miserable. He was covered in blood, and he didn't even have much strength left to breathe.

Zhu Zheng circled around the envoy Wei, walked around slowly, lowered his eyes and asked, "Do you know why you were beaten?"

The envoy of Wei only answered in a tone of voice: "Chu country... barbarians! Harsh treatment? Envoy?! I..."

Zhu Zheng lightly raised his right hand: "Drag it out again."

"Here!"

Envoy Wei was muttering something in his mouth, but he was dragged out by the guards of Chu state indiscriminately. On the Tai Chi Hall, where envoy Wei passed by, there was a deep bloodstain.

The envoy of the State of Wei was dragged at the entrance of the main hall, gritted his teeth in resentment.

Zhu Zheng stood in the hall and said calmly: "If according to what you said, you were once a Zhou man, and I am the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. If you are the son of Zhou, then you are your father. The father is on the top, and the son? The people come out? Words are not rude. , as a stick."

Even envoy Wei never imagined that he would use what he said to oppress people, but what he said was so well-founded that he could not refute it.

At this time, Zhu Zheng slowed down his tone: "Now, you can enter the palace as Wei envoy."

Above the Chu court, all the courtiers did not dare to breathe, and no one dared to help the envoy of Wei State who was beaten so hard to stand.

The State of Chu summoned the envoys to go to the palace. If the envoys of the State of Wei did not come, it means that Wei had made a mistake first. Then the envoys of Wei could not even move. Clamping on the bluestone slab, he crawled a few steps with his elbows, gritted his teeth and supported the threshold, and then touched the palace door along the threshold, and forced himself to stand up. Just as he was about to take a step up to the hall, he heard Zhu Zheng ask Said: "I came late. Just now, the envoy Wei said clearly that he came here on this trip, so why?"

Shang Shuling took a step forward: "Mr. Bao, the envoy Wei said...'Jiao Changge, to thank the world'. He also said, no matter whether it is Jiao Princess or Jiao Changge, we must wait for the last one today. reply."

"It's simple."

Zhu Zheng took a few steps forward, bent down slightly, and lowered his eyes to look down at the envoy of the State of Wei who was holding the gate of the Taiji Palace.There was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, and he said softly: "Drag it out, and I will punish you another fifty."

Chu Chen was shocked, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Sir, think twice, come again? Fifty sticks, after the beating, I'm afraid there will be no one left!"

"It's just fine if it's gone." Zhu Zheng turned around, "If the person is gone, he will be thrown to the Five Army camp, and he will say that this is my answer."

Chu Ting was silent for a moment.

Zhu Zheng raised his hand: "Hit."

The Chu soldiers rushed forward and dragged the envoy from the door. Immediately afterwards, there were wailing sounds outside the hall.

Zhu Zheng turned around and looked around lightly: "How can such a small matter disturb you? You have not resolved it for two days."

Wishing the government money to go to Danbi, Chu Chen heard the sound of screams outside the hall, and his face was full of anxiety.

Where is this stick beating the envoy of Wei? Although the court stick hit the envoy of Wei? What was destroyed was the arrogance of the five kingdoms, and it was the cowardice and incompetence of the ministers of Chu.

Zhu Zheng turned his face slightly, and revealed the matter: "Deliberate."

During the two days that Zhu Zhengchangge left, the weather was fine, and the disease in Jiangling City was slightly relaxed.

At this time, the sun was setting, and Chang Ge stood on the top of the bell tower, leaning against the wooden railing behind him, watching the golden sun slowly sinking into the river.

On the bank of the great river, with the sun behind it, the giant statue casts a thick shadow obliquely on Jiangling City.Bounded by this shadow, submerged in the darkness? Dongcheng District is exceptionally quiet, like a ghost town.

Zhu Zheng was busy in the court, so he helped to deal with the epidemic.White Perilla? Although it provides short-term inhibitory drugs, the symptoms of the affected people are slightly relieved, but it cannot eradicate the toxins in the body.

Chang Ge led people to measure the groundwater in Dongcheng District, residents' homes? Wells, streets, food stations, shopping malls, and even the roof tiles in Dongcheng District? He thought he would find the source of the poison in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly Surprisingly, it was discovered that——toxicity can be found everywhere in Dongcheng District, even the weeds in the cracks in the ground are poisonous.

With such a large area, as long as the civilians stay in Dongcheng District, it is impossible to take precautions.In desperation, Chang Ge could only order Jiangling's three armies to set up tents in the spare parts of Xicheng District, and move all men, women and children from Dongcheng District to Xicheng District for temporary residence.It's a bit crowded, but at least it's safe enough.

Right now, the vast Dongcheng District is deserted, and the wind that blows through the streets is getting colder and colder.

There was a sound of reining in the horse and neighing from behind. Chang Ge turned around, and Zhu Zheng reined in and dismounted from the white horse, looking up at him.The horse was still bouncing on the spot, and Zhu Zheng's clothes were fluttering like clouds and mist.

Chang Ge looked at him in a daze, only to realize that there was only one white horse left on the long street, and Zhu Zheng had no idea where he was going.

Then he warmed his waist, and the cold fragrance was brought by the warm wind. Zhu Zheng gently embraced him and asked softly, "Did you go home to catch up on sleep?"

The bell tower was not used for viewing. There is only a wooden partition one or two feet wide on the top floor, barely enough for one person to stand. Except for the wooden partition, the entire bell tower is connected through the whole body. If you are not careful, you will fall to the ground and be crushed ? Crushed bones.The two had no choice but to stand close to each other, standing close to each other.

Hearing Zhu Zheng's question, Chang Ge shook his head, but turned around and faced Zhu Zheng.

The half-slanted golden light flowed over Zhu Zheng's side cheeks, and splashed on his frosty white coat, making him look even more handsome.

Chang Ge followed the leather belt around his waist and touched the jade ribbon.The ribbon is exquisite, but the white jade he wears is extremely cold.

Chang Ge lowered his eyes, gently caressed Zhu Zheng's jade pendant, and said in a low voice, "I heard that today, Mister got angry again in the courtroom."
