Seventy-seven meeting GL

Not long after discussing the Northern Expedition in the south, just as summer arrived, the Dongcheng army once again attacked the Tianlang border from the north.

Dong Shiqi, the lord of the Dongcheng Kingdom, has always been a restless person. After learning that Tianlang was separated from the north and the south and internal relations were tense, he couldn't sit still again. He quickly mobilized [-] Dongcheng troops and stormed the northeastern border of Tianlang .

This move may seem sudden, but for Dong Cheng, who always likes to take advantage of the fire, it can only be regarded as a routine operation.

With the change of Emperor Tianlang and the unstable position of the new emperor, how could such a good opportunity to seize the territory be missed?The Dongcheng soldiers and horses, led by general Song Yu, tried many times to break through the defense line and plunder Tianlang's town.

Song Yu is also full of fighting spirit, eager to use this battle to avenge his shame.

Due to the massive withdrawal of the Northwest Army, the northern part of Tianlang was empty, and Langkangzhe's court did not expect Dongcheng's actions at all.For a while, the situation on the border of Tianlang was worrying, and it almost gave away several towns in Dongcheng for nothing.

When the incident happened suddenly, Lang Kangzhe immediately called an emergency meeting. He didn't have many trustworthy military ministers, so he promoted Li Sitong to the head of the army and horses, sent him to the north immediately to help, and sent He Chong to take charge of the military mission to the south. Military Governor.All defense work in the capital was in charge of Zhang Teng, the former commander of the Imperial Forest Army, also known as the commander of the Kyoto Guard.

At the same time, it is extremely surprising that the Xiling Kingdom, which has always advocated peace, also took action immediately.

Xiling quickly dispatched 20 troops and arrived at the northwestern border of Tianlang within half a month. They not only stationed here, but also used the name of "emergency foreign defense".

The 20 troops were led by Mo Wencong, the prince of Xiling Kingdom. The name of the prince of Xiling has been heard by all countries. People only know that among the six princes of Xiling, this prince is the only one who is diligent in government affairs and handles state affairs with ease. He seldom attends activities, is low-key and unpredictable.The prince's intention behind leading the troops this time cannot be underestimated.

Lang Kangzhe read in the letter written by Mo Wencong: "The ambition of Dongcheng is well known in the world. This time the attack on Tianlang will cause a lot of coercion in the northern part of Xiling, so we have to be vigilant and send troops to control and defend."

After Lang Kangzhe read the letter, his expression changed many times.

On the one hand, Xiling hastily dispatched troops to stare at the border, which is obviously not a simple defensive intention.

Even if Xiling doesn't intervene, this move is more or less like sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, and there is no good thing to designate.Lang Kangzhe was very disturbed by this.

On the other hand, he is eager to persuade Xiling to help him, and cooperate with Tianlang to contain Dongcheng and attack Dongcheng.As long as Xiling distracts Dongcheng's attention, he can deal with Lang Yinshi's southern forces with peace of mind.

A single Lang Yinshi is enough for him to worry about, and a flank attack is the last thing Lang Kangzhe wants to happen.

But who made Dong Cheng covet Tianlang's piece of fat all the time, and would pounce on him whenever there was a sign of trouble.

Because of this, Lang Kangzhe scolded Dong Cheng annoyedly.

"A dog can't change eating shit, it's just a shit stick!"

"Like fly maggots, when they smell a fishy smell, they swarm up, extremely difficult!"

"Despicable and forgetful! She simply treats Tianlang as a girl who can be played around with!"

Although there are many contempt in the words, but in real confrontation, it has to be taken seriously.During the emergency court meeting for three consecutive days, Lang Kangzhe showed a look of despair.

Although he has strengthened his conscription, his foreign combat experience is obviously far from that of Lang Yinshi.

The one in his hands who knows how to fight against the outside world is Lang Yinshi.Previously, when Lang Yinshi was guarding the border, the entire defense system was very stable, and he didn't need to worry about the details at all.Fortunately, Lang Yinshi took Tianlang's most elite Yinzi army and ran to the south. The south was safe and sound, leaving him alone to fight against the foreign enemies in the north.

In terms of government, he still can't calm down the hearts of his scattered subjects. In terms of war, if Dong Dong is allowed to continue, then the new emperor of his generation may not even be able to sit firmly on the throne.Internal and external troubles pushed Lang Kangzhe to the brink of collapse.

After several rounds of reshuffle, where are the courts still available?Even if they searched everywhere, they couldn't find it. Most of the imperial court was already dead.Ministers such as Bloomberg and Feng Xiao are first-class masters in building momentum and taking credit in prosperous times, but they have no experience in peace in troubled times. They are all peace ministers.

Lang Kangzhe was very depressed. Whenever he went to court, he would sit back in the hall alone and drink wine.

The more I drank, the more my thoughts became heavier.

One evening, Lang Kangzhe went to see the Supreme Emperor on purpose.

Lang Muwei's hair was messy, and he lived in seclusion in the huge palace of the Supreme Emperor with gray temples.There are mountains and seas here, and you can enjoy the scenery of the world without leaving your home. If others look at it, they will definitely say that Lang Kangzhe is a dutiful son.

Lang Muwei's former majesty is long gone, his stature is sluggish, his description is more than sloppy, his skin is dry and yellow, except for his dull expression, it is difficult to find suitable words to describe him.I heard from the servants that Lang Muwei's appetite is so small that he can't even eat a bowl of rice. His burly figure seems to be blown to the ground by the wind, and he feels that time is running out.

Holding on to his crutches and supported by the little eunuch, he staggered step by step and said that he was going to row a boat in the inland sea. When he was informed that Lang Kangzhe had come in, he couldn't help but put on a straight face and shook his head repeatedly to say no.

"Father, why are you unhappy to see your son?" Standing by the pier, Lang Kangzhe laughed in his narrow eyes, feeling that his once great father now looked so weak and ridiculous.

"My son is here to see my father." Lang Kangzhe said while insisting on helping Lang Muwei get on the dragon carving boat. "You won't blame me, it took you so long to come here, right?" The little eunuch at the stern slowly propped up the wooden pole and pushed the boat away from the shore.

"Recently the border is unstable, and there is no one available in the court. Erchen came here to ask the godfather to see if there is any suitable candidate to recommend."

Lang Muwei, who had dull eyes, suddenly reacted, and a deep sneer and sneer appeared on his old face.

"Aren't you able to chase away and kill all the suitable candidates? Are you going to ask the King of Hades for someone?"

Lang Kangzhe reluctantly smiled along with him when he heard the words, rather uncomfortable, he slowly rowed the oar with him.

There is an island in the center of the inner sea, a large courtyard surrounded by white marble railings, weeping willows leaning on the shore, and branches and leaves hanging on the water.

"In your opinion, does Tianlang still have a chance?"

"With you here, Tianlang would have no future." Lang Muwei said bluntly without concealing his disdain.

"Hehe, I'm not surprised." Lang Kangzhe replied with a smile, "After all these years, who has he tolerated in the eyes of the emperor? Even if Tianlang will destroy the country tomorrow, you will not say a good word about me." of."

"...Where is your brother? Where is Lao Qi?" Lang Muwei ignored him, but instead asked about Lang Yinshi's news. "He is the best candidate to fight against foreign enemies. As long as he is alive, there will be a piece of Tianlang's land."

"It's a pity, your good boy, Lao Qi, is hiding in the south." Lang Kangzhe said lightly, as if unwilling to mention it.

"He won't be used by you, right?" Lang Muwei stared at Lang Kangzhe's gloomy face, guessed what was going on, and laughed gleefully. "It should have been like this a long time ago... Everyone betrayed their relatives, you will always follow my old path."

"Don't think that if you force me to write the edict of abdication, you will be able to seize the throne in a fair and honest manner. Those who lose their way will have little help, and the eyes of the world are discerning. Sooner or later, you will fall from this position."

"The eyes of the world?" Lang Kangzhe gritted his teeth and laughed out loud. "People in the world are just a group of fooled ants and pawns. They don't know anything, they only see what they want to see and hear."

"For example, your most important seventh son, is he filial and majestic? But he is not even a son!" Lang Kangzhe stood up abruptly, "Lang Yinshi is a woman through and through! Your daughter has guarded you for seven years You are kept in the dark from the beginning to the end! Is this what you call vision?"

"It's really proud, isn't it?! The prince is a traitor, the sixth and ninth brothers are thugs who killed brothers, I took the throne, and the most proud seventh is a daughter—Tianlang's land, who A woman protected for seven years!"

"The members of the Lang clan, how proud and how ridiculous! Where do all these evil sources come from? Don't they all come from you, Father?!"

"Your most trusted mother and concubine did not hesitate to tell big lies back then, just to hide the truth from this daughter! Just because she never loved you, nor me," Lang Kangzhe suddenly softened his tone, as if he had an epiphany. , "After all, I am just a product of a dirty man. I am so similar to you, how could my concubine like me? ... And you, a sad old man, are still laughing at me now!"

When Lang Muwei heard this, the paddle in his hand trembled violently. He suddenly choked for some reason, and coughed violently. Soon his face turned into a liver color, his veins burst out, and he stared into a pair of terrifying eyes .

"Nizi, you're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense!" He grabbed the side of the boat with his hands, gasped heavily, and tried hard to stand up, but his burly but weak body was no longer in control.

"I don't allow you to say that about your concubine mother...I don't allow anyone to say that about your concubine mother!"

Lang Kangzhe was as calm as stagnant water, "What I said is the truth, you should admit your failure."

"...You bastard!" After the deathly silence, Lang Muwei suddenly clenched his fists, and suddenly wanted to step forward and grab Lang Kangzhe's neck, wanting to teach his son a lesson. "Why don't you die?! Without you, I would be much better off!"

He rushed forward, his eyes were bloodshot fiercely.With a wave of Lang Kangzhe's hand, he blocked Lang Muwei's attack. The huge momentum caused Lang Muwei to stagger to the side of the boat, accidentally overturned, and fell into the inner sea with a "plop", stirring up A splash.

"Ah, ah..." Lang Muwei was frightened, he struggled to lift his head out of the water, his fat face twisted, and he kept swallowing the lake water.Although summer is here, the lake water in the inner sea is still cold and cool.

Lang Kangzhe stood on the boat, watching coldly and numbly, until Lang Muwei lost his strength and could no longer struggle, and his pale hair gradually floated on the lake, then he sent someone to fish him out.

"Give the Supreme Emperor a good bath, and then boil some ginger soup to warm him up. As an old man, if you are frightened, you always have to rest well to recover."

After Lang Kangzhe finished speaking, he left by boat expressionlessly.

Not many days later, Lang Muwei, the lord of the Tianlang Kingdom who ruled the world 20 years ago, died in the palace because his condition worsened after falling into the water.

Strangely, the whole Tianlang did not cause a sensation.

On the contrary, Xiling, Dongcheng and other countries sent condolences from their monarchs out of etiquette.

Everyone can see that the end is getting closer.
