tribute male queen

1. Wedge

In the first year of Shengwu in the new calendar of Beicang, the new emperor Yuan Wenjing came to the throne.

At the beginning of Emperor Shengwu's ascension to the throne, in the imperial court, he purged the court, punished the sycophants, and recruited virtuous officials;And set up a direct admonition office among the people, which is responsible for investigating the grievances of the people in various places, and then reporting to the court. Once it is verified that it is an unjust, false or wrong case, it will immediately give justice and severely punish the officials involved.

In less than two years, the people of Beicang Kingdom are full of praise for this young and wise emperor who came to the throne at the age of 15 and managed the country from chaos to order in less than two years.

In the summer of the third year of Shengwu, a group of uniformed men in black guarded a carriage vigilantly, driving in the narrow valley of Beicang Kingdom.

Inside the carriage with plain curtains, I saw a handsome man tied up in the carriage by ropes.The thumb-thick rope cut the man's hands tightly behind his back and tied them tightly. After binding his legs, he crossed them back around his neck, and finally tied a knot in his back.The advantage of this method of binding is that no matter who is caught, no matter how skilled he is in martial arts, once he tries to break free from the rope, the rope crossed around his neck will inevitably be tightened and tightened, and he will eventually suffocate to death.Probably because he was afraid that the man would bite his tongue and kill himself, so he stuffed his mouth with soft silk.

The man seemed a little unwilling. Along the way, since he was captured alive by the Ouchi dark guards of the Beicang Kingdom and secretly sent to the capital of the Beicang Kingdom, he tried several times to break free from the rope, but all because of this weird way of knotting the rope. And fail.

He moved his somewhat numb arms, and immediately felt a suffocation in his neck. Helpless, he stopped struggling, and closed his eyes resignedly.

How did he know that the knotting method of the rope was specially designed by the young emperor of Beicang Kingdom who had made great achievements in governing the country to capture him.

The highest pavilion in the Imperial Palace of Beicang Kingdom is the Canglan Palace, the emperor's bedroom.

In front of the majestic hall, the young Emperor Shengwu was wearing a dazzling bright yellow costume, standing in front of the white marble railing, looking at the Taiye Pool in the distance, with erratic deep eyes.

"According to the itinerary, they should have reached Hongkou Pass, right?"

Ning Yu, the leader of the hidden guard behind the emperor, replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I just received the letter from Fei Ge, and they have already arrived at Hongkou Pass."

"Did they say that he is okay?" The little emperor asked coldly, without any warmth.

"Going back to His Majesty, it's a little troublesome. He's always thinking of running away. Yu Hai and the others are watching closely, but they are afraid of hurting him, so there are many delays on the journey." Ning Yu carefully observed the emperor's expression, and saw that the emperor hadn't shown up. Displeased color, a little relieved.

The little emperor clenched his fists, and snorted, "That's right, this is the style of Marquis Yanping of Donglin. Write back to Yu Hai and the others, asking them to pay more attention to our 'guests' of Beicang Kingdom!"

"Subordinates obey!"

Turning his head, the little emperor squinted his long and narrow phoenix eyes, and an unknown smile curled up on the corner of his mouth. In his ears, there was an immature but desperate cry of a child of his age: Presumptuous, how dare you do something to my wife and my son! ?Wow...it hurts, stop...you dare to spank my ass, I will kill you, kill you...

Then, a hearty voice came to my ears again: Okay, I am waiting for you to kill me, but you have to make yourself strong enough to kill me before you can...

"He Lancong, now that you are my prisoner, does that mean that I am strong enough to do whatever I want with you?"

The little emperor raised his head and looked at a group of wild geese flying south in the sky, thinking, time flies so fast, it is autumn again...

2. Strange conditions

In the late autumn of the second year of Shengwu in Beicang, the king of Beicang tore up the peace agreement between the two countries, and sent General Han Chaohui with 30 troops to attack the southern neighbor Donglin.

Beicang Kingdom, which is good at fighting in cold weather, avoided the scorching summer and made a large-scale invasion in autumn. It can be seen that its goal is not as simple as capturing a few cities and passes.

The two countries have been fighting for several days, and Beicang has already reached several cities in a row, marching forward triumphantly all the way, pointing directly at Fancheng, the gateway to the north of Donglin.Here, the footsteps of the Beicang army were finally forced to stop, and they encountered the tenacious resistance of the defenders of the Donglin Kingdom.

In Fancheng, Han Chaohui also met He Lancong, Marquis of Yanping, the legendary Master General of Lin Guo in the Middle East.To Han Chaohui's surprise, the confrontation between the two armies lasted for more than three months.

Han Chaohui, who attacked the city without encountering any major resistance along the way, really couldn't figure out what kind of extraordinary ability that man, who was not much different from a white-faced scholar from a distance, had to hold back his army. Fancheng.

Later, Han Chaohui summed up the reasons why the army is now stagnant, and defined his opponent in four words: bravery and wisdom.

The little emperor far away in the capital of Beicang Kingdom was admiring the snow under the plum tree in the imperial garden. After quietly listening to the Babaili urgent battle report, a strange sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "That's right, the Marquis of Yanping is famous all over the world, isn't it? He Han Chaohui said that if he wins, he can win. I am very excited to compete with this kind of person, Ning Yu, send someone to send a letter to the spy who sneaked into Donglin, telling them that they can act."

Let's say that the monarch of the Donglin Kingdom indulges in his sensuality all day long, and doesn't think about government affairs. After handing over the affairs of the court to the left and right prime ministers, no matter how powerful the enemy in the north is, they have conquered several cities in succession, and still have a good time with all the concubines and beauties every night. I don't want to miss Shu.

The urgent military newspapers have been piled high, and they are all piled up in the court office, and no one cares about them. The two prime ministers on the left and right ignored how tight the military situation is, blocked the court office, and suppressed all reports despite the opposition from the court .

Upstairs in Fancheng, the deputy general handed over a letter and said, "Master Hou, this is sent by a secret messenger from the Marquis of Dingguo."

With a groan, He Lancong opened the letter that his uncle had written to him, glanced at it hastily, his long and bony hands tightly clenched into fists, and his body trembled slightly with anger.

One by one, those who asked for reinforcements, those who asked for food and grass, those who asked for military pay, and the reports analyzing the current military situation all fell to nothing.

At Dayuguan, Gange was worried about the emergency of Fancheng's military situation, and asked for support from the disease. In the end, he could not transfer troops because he did not have a tiger talisman, so he was stopped by King Yi.

What made him most distressed was that the emperor actually listened to the prime minister's advice and made him give up Fancheng, which had been holding on for more than three months.It is clear in the letter that the imperial decree to abandon the city will be delivered to Fancheng in a short time.

The lieutenant general saw that the head coach had a bad complexion, and asked cautiously, "Master Hou, is something wrong in the capital?"

He Lancong didn't answer, but handed his uncle's letter to his loyal lieutenant Gao Ying.

Gao Ying read the heart at the fastest speed, and said in a nasty way: "How could this happen? Once you abandon the city, won't your hard work of more than three months be in vain, Lord Hou!"

"Efforts are nothing. What hurts me is that once Fancheng falls into the hands of the enemy, Donglin will lose half of the country, and the people will also be in trouble. As a general, if you give up your position, how can you be worthy of the emperor and the empress? After a few months, the people who defend the city with our enemies!"

He Lancong looked up to the sky and sighed, could it be that the sky is going to kill me in Donglin?

The imperial edict arrived soon, and the moment he received the imperial edict, He Lancong's heart was broken.

Lord Hou, do you want to withdraw your troops?

Lord Hou, does the court ignore us?

Lord Hou, you can't leave, what can we do if you leave!

When the people in the city learned that He Lancong had to withdraw his troops according to the order, they flocked to the residence where he usually handles military affairs, hoping to save their spiritual support in front of foreign enemies.

In fact, the simple people don't know that He Lancong is extremely unwilling to leave, but the sacred order is hard to violate, and if he doesn't leave, he is disobeying the order and disrespecting it.

He Lancong, who returned to the capital, was not able to meet the emperor, but was relieved of his military power and returned home unemployed.

He Lancong, who was worried about the military situation ahead at home every day, finally waited for the news from Gao Ying that Beicang's army did not continue to march south, but stopped in Fancheng.What reassured him a little was that the Beicang army did not kill the people, but set up camp outside the city. They mostly appeased the guarding officials and people in the city, and sent troops to arrest the bandits outside the city and maintain law and order.

Although he was glad that the common people were not harassed, the thoughtful He Lancong was thinking that things were far from that simple.

A month later, Beicang Kingdom's peace envoy arrived at Donglin Capital.

Emperor Donglin, who had lost half of his country due to negligence, was severely reprimanded by the queen mother, and the early court was restored. The first thing the court faced was how to deal with the peace negotiations brought by the envoys of the Beicang Kingdom.

Beicang Kingdom set out two conditions, which seemed simple, but were very tricky.First, Donglin was attached to Beicang and became a subordinate state; second, Marquis Helancong of Yanping was offered to Beicang as a year-old tribute this year.

At this time, Donglin Kingdom, apart from King Yi's subordinates, still has a small number of soldiers and horses, and can no longer mobilize extra soldiers. If they don't agree to the first condition, they will just sit and wait for the country to perish.No matter what, the emperor didn't want to be the king of subjugation.Therefore, regardless of the remonstrance of a group of conservative ministers, Emperor Donglin readily agreed to Beicang's first condition.

As for the weird second condition, there was an uproar in the court.

He Lancong is Marquis of Yanping, General Shence, and both civil and military. He is a pillar of the country. If you donate him, there will be no Donglin generals, except for the mighty generals who fight.Furthermore, the majestic Marquis of Yanping, who is the empress dowager's nephew and the current emperor's cousin, was presented to Beicang as a tribute, which was an insult to Dong Lin and He Lancong himself.Regarding this condition, even the left and right prime ministers who secretly tripped He Lancong felt that it was a bit too much.
