Devil’s Advent - Vol 4 Chapter 36

Yanjing City,

today,

It’s the Lantern Festival.

It is the tradition of Yan people to place lotus lanterns by the river on the day of the Lantern Festival, which means that the wick will bring the grief of strangers and bring rest to the dead.

After the winter, there are many festivals, and there are many important festivals. In fact, the Lantern Festival is not an important festival in Dayan.

The origin of this festival is that when the Yan people faced the threat of the barbarians, they fought every year when they were the most difficult. In this way, they paid homage to the Yandi Erlang who died in battle for his country.

For hundreds of years, along with the defense of the desert in Zhenbeihoufu, the barbarians have been suppressed. For the folks, this festival only stays at the level of knowing that it is today.

However, since the fighting began more than ten years ago, Dayan began to use foreign troops frequently, and the Lantern Festival gradually began to highlight its role.

And this year’s Lantern Festival, due to your majesty’s order, requesting the Ministry of Ritual to organize it, it can be said that this holiday that has been silent for a hundred years has been pushed up again.

Even today, court officials can get extra vacations.

The Liujin River where the lotus lanterns were placed was full of people. On the river, the lights were full of lights, like stars.

There is Dafang in the capital, set up a high platform, and the oiran dances, but the oiran no longer fights beauty but is all dressed in plain clothes;

Talented men gather in groups of two to sing in the army and sing poems, circumcised and frustrated, sonorous and powerful;

Dayan’s literati have always been looked down upon by other countries, as if things like culture and education were inherently dissatisfied in Dayan;

However, as the imperial examination system continued to operate year after year, Dayan’s style of writing was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But the literati of Dayan still don’t like wearing a fan but like a sword, and don’t like to ride a sedan chair, but like to ride a fierce horse.

Because the regent prince of Dayan not only wrote military books, he served as a military enlightenment for scholars in the world, but also was talented in literature and art, so that Qian Guowen Sheng cursed and played elegant things into flowing words.

The regent of Dayan didn’t like to make “poems” very much, because he thought it was unskillful;

This is actually what I said in my heart, but after spreading it out, the Qianguo who was interpreted by outsiders to specifically target the target, insinuates: it is useless to be a scholar.

Furthermore,

In recent years, from the Imperial Study Room of the Royal Palace, there have been continuous outflows of letterheads between your majesty and the regent.

The format of the letter is very formal, and it can be directly printed on the history books. In the letter, your majesty and the prince have worked hard for the present and future of Dayan and worked together to seek a common direction.

However, what really caught the attention of the people was the masterpiece of the regent that occasionally circulated in the letter.

A masterpiece, it is a real masterpiece, and each one is a masterpiece of the ages; coupled with the unparalleled popularity of the story of the regent in the teahouse and restaurant, every time his poems can be spread quickly.

Therefore, the current regent is not only the first mountain in the Great Yan Army, but also a role model of the Great Yan literati.

Upstairs in Wangchun on the Liujin River,

Ji Chengjue, dressed in casual clothes, stretched out his hand and patted the railing lightly.

Holding a glass of vinaigrette in hand,

Smiling at Mao Mingcai, Master Shoufu standing next to him:

“I hope that my Dayan literati can write poems, write articles, understand morals, and at the same time can ride a horse and hold a knife to secure the world. This is what a real scholar should look like;

Rather than the sour and rotten confucians of Qian Guo, they only know how old they are. ”

“Your Majesty Shengming, in fact, this should be what a scholar should look like.”

“It’s a pity, the surname Zheng is unwilling to be an official in the DPRK, otherwise…”

“If the regent wants to enter the court, the minister, the first assistant position, can only be handed to him obediently.”

“Hahahaha, don’t mention this, don’t mention this.”

The emperor turned around and walked into the box, followed by Mao Mingcai.

There were not many people in the box, and Grandpa Wei brought Nian Gongyi with the tableware.

The emperor sat down, and Mao Mingcai also sat down.

Nian Gonggong and Wei Gonggong were standing next to each other.

“Nian Yao.”

“The minion is here.”

“sit.”

“The slave follows the order.”

Nian Yao sat down.

“Now, my Dayan is fighting your second national war with Chu, what do you think?”

Nian Yao replied:

“In response to your Majesty, when the national war is going on, the officials in the capital can rest, and the people can light up. The Dayan under your Majesty’s rule is much calmer than it was in the past and when it was the first emperor.”

“I believe that this is what you say in your heart.”

“Yes, in terms of national strength, Dayan is already above Chu State, not to mention that the battlefield is still in Chu State.

The report that your Majesty showed to the minions is a see-saw point. In the land of the three counties, the rich land of Chu is in the north, which is exactly the opposite of the Qianguo.

Moreover, this time the Great Yan army entered with a dignified division, not like in the past, it would retreat when hit, and the damage to Chu’s national strength would be extremely great. ”

“Go on, talk while eating.”

Ji Chengjue picked up a shrimp with his chopsticks, and Father Wei next to him was going to help peel it, but Ji Chengjue moved it away;

The emperor peeled the shrimp himself, twisted the shrimp head, dipped it in vinegar, took it to his mouth and took a bite before dropping it;

Then, slowly peel off the shrimp body, pull out the shrimp thread, dip it in vinegar, and finally put it in the mouth for chewing.

“In fact, the method currently used by the Chu State is the tactics used by the slave when he was a general in Chu State when he faced the Dayan army. If you can delay it, you will endure it.”

“Do you think it can go on?” The emperor caught another shrimp and continued to peel it.

“The minion feels that it can survive. Although it will greatly deplete Chu’s national strength, if you take the initiative to attack, the price is too great, and the chance of winning is really too low.”

“Ha ha.”

The emperor put the newly peeled shrimp in vinegar and threw it into Mao Mingcai’s bowl.

He took a wet towel from Wei Zhonghe and wiped his hands.

Tao;

“Why didn’t you hold on?”

“The minion is greedy.”

“Then how can you guarantee that your successor will not be greedy?”

“Minion… really can’t guarantee.”

“Actually, I don’t understand about the war, and I don’t bother to learn it, because I am the emperor. When I was a prince, I didn’t have that opportunity. After I became an emperor, I really couldn’t learn anything. I was most afraid of learning half a bucket of water. A little knowledge will harm the country.

Hehe, just like the Supreme Daojun emperor of Qianguo. ”

The most classic and the two most widely circulated examples of Qian Guoguan’s family,

One is that the defensive regent came to Beijing to meet the officials of the country and ridiculed him for not knowing the soldiers;

Then Qianguo officials “sneered”, thinking that Zhizhu was in their hands, and ordered the trilateral soldiers and horses not to return aid, so that the Yan army of less than 70,000 swaggered in in the northern territory of Qianguo, entered, and then withdrew. At the same time, the Zhenbei Army and Jingnan Army were allowed to take advantage of the way to advance to Jin.

The second example is that the Qianguo officials personally commanded their troops in an attempt to encircle and wipe out the regent who was still King Pingxi. In the end, the regent succeeded in breaking through the siege, but also divided his troops to end the country of the people.

After Qian Guoguan’s family returned to the ruined capital city, he was shocked to find that the prince who had escaped from the military disaster had already taken the throne, and he was given a posthumous posthumous title…

And it’s not a beautiful posthumous post, there is actually a “li” in it.

These two things,

The parties involved are the regents, so they can’t keep it at all. If they want to conceal it, Yan Ren will not agree to it. They will eagerly help him to promote it. Coupled with the self-proclaimed appearance of the Gan Ren, he has long been for Zhu Xia. The people of the people are not pleasing to the eye, so everyone will get together and arrange the fables of Ganren together.

However, the official Qianguo did make a mistake in these two matters;

But conscientiously speaking, it is truly excusable.

For the first time, the Qianguo official family lost to Jingnan Wang Tian Wujing. The Jingnan Wang saw his hands and feet completely broken, and he calmly borrowed the way, and even helped out.

For the second time, the Qianguo official faced Zheng Fan, the King of Pingxi who thought he was not good at fighting and was on the verge of “understanding”.

An official who likes cultivating the Tao and keeping in good health, who is proficient in the checks and balances of the emperor, is considered to be enough, but he has to go out in person to fight against the two generations of military gods, Dayan, and lose… It is also reasonable.

Nian Yao nodded, and said: “The two generations of the sages of Dayan know how to know, employ and believe in people. This is the foundation for the stronger Dayan.”

The emperor actually didn’t like to put himself and his Lao Tzu together to boast,

When I went to the hall, there was no way. I had to pinch my nose to recognize the remediation legacy and influence left by his father. In private…

“If my father really knows how to let go, he won’t have the first defeat of Wangjiang.”

How could Ji Chengjue not know what was going on with Wangjiang’s defeat for the first time?

Isn’t it because my father wanted to support the general surnamed Ji to arrange for his elder brother, but he almost destroyed his elder brother.

“So, here, I have to learn a lesson. People surnamed Zheng want food, food, people’s husbands, people’s husbands, soldiers and horses, soldiers and horses, whatever you want, you can make whatever you want.

It’s hard to buy money without worry. ”

“Your Majesty has a broad mind, the emperor of the ages, there are few who can match your Majesty.”

“Are you trying to say that Nian Yao didn’t have this treatment when you were in Chu State?”

“The minion dare not…”

“My surname is Ji, and I am not surnamed Xiong. Is there anything I dare not say? Actually, I really don’t blame the emperor of your family, Nian Yao, are you worthy of comparison with the surname Zheng?”

“Minion, unworthy.”

“It’s not that I’m unworthy of talent. I coaxed the surname Zheng, and gave him my heart, so I can take the prince with peace of mind and go to his house to sleep solidly.

You Nian Yao, a hungry wolf, the kind that is unfamiliar. ”

Nian Yao was silent.

“Nian Yao, there is something I have always wanted to ask you, in your heart, do you hate me more, or hate the surname Zheng, more?”

Nian Yao seemed to be thinking,

immediately,

Shook his head,

Road:

“Hate it.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“I don’t believe it.”

“Your Majesty, the minions are all like this, so where are there any other thoughts?”

“I still don’t believe me, you Nian Yao, you are not numb to that point. This is also the most surprising thing about me.

Ugh,

Too,

The tide of all beings, who can lead the wave, even if it is only for a while, will never be a simple character.

Nian Yao,

I am doing it for you, which is a pity.

I also asked the surname Zheng, and asked him, are you afraid of losing?

Zheng’s answer is: I’m afraid of death.

Yes, the more you win, the less you can’t afford to lose. God knows where to lose a game. ”

“Your Majesty, the minion really has nothing to do with others.”

The emperor leaned back on the chair,

Road:

“But when you just ate shrimp, you also smoked shrimp thread.”

“…” Nian Yao.

“Yes, when you eat shrimp, remember to draw the shrimp thread. It proves that you are a bit particular, and that you are careful, and that you have a mind.”

At this time, the waiter brought a new dish, a roast duck.

Saw roast duck,

The emperor smiled, pointed his finger at it and said:

“I have personally roasted ducks before, and the most famous Quande Building in Beijing is my previous industry.

So, sometimes I really feel that being an emperor is actually no different from being a cook.

The precious ingredients are topped with some salt after being steamed. It is simple but exquisite. You can also excuse that this is to eat its original taste.

And if you encounter poor ingredients, you have to add heavy oil to suppress the fishy or odor. Even so, it is easy to eat up your stomach.

Grandpa Huang won the relationship with Zhenbeihoufu. In order to pave the way for his father and not to delay his efforts, and to avoid stigmatizing his father, he took the pill and killed himself alive.

The father is an old beast…”

Mao Mingcai was eating vegetables, his chopsticks trembled, but he pretended not to hear anything.

“But this old beast, although he tossed Dayan too hard, he still remembered to help me raise the barbarian royal court before he died.

Ha ha,

When I succeeded to the throne,

Although there are worries inside, there are no major problems outside.

It was that Qian Chu teamed up and wanted to get some momentum out. I also had the surname Zheng as a helper and pushed them back.

When I was a prince, it was very hard and tiring, but I became a relative and gave birth to a child. After becoming an emperor, I became more comfortable.

To put it bluntly, the emperor of the Xiong clan in your family, and even the emperor of Qianguo Taijun, may not be worse than us if we change positions with me.

The situation is different, and the outlets are naturally different.

The surname Zheng once said that when the wind vents, a pig can be blown up to the sky and talk to you about the principle.

I,

My big swallow,

It’s on the wind now.

Nian Yao,

This time,

I am determined to give you another chance,

I,

Let you go to Jindong, let you report under the surname Zheng.

Firstly, you are familiar with Chu State; secondly, Chu State also has many of your old men to contact.

The surname Zheng didn’t actually tell me his plan of how to fight, so I don’t understand how he is going to fight this battle.

But I just think that he can win, and he can definitely win.

You also know what it means for Chu to lose another game in this situation and under this state of affairs?

Chu State could not afford to lose.

I let you go, and give me another push on the beam of Chu State.

I asked the surname Zheng in the letter, and he agreed.

and so,

Are you willing to go? ”

Nian Yao immediately left his seat, knelt down, and said sincerely:

“Chen, I am willing to share my worries for your majesty, and I am willing to be loyal to Dayan!”

Six years ago, Nian Yao said the same thing. The news that came was that his wife and children were drowning in the river.

Six years later, Nian Yao said the same thing again.

The emperor stood up, walked to the outer railing again, and looked at the scenery of the golden river flowing below.

The people below are shouting spontaneously:

“I wish the prince a great victory! I wish the prince a great victory!”

“The big swallow will win! The big swallow will win!”

The people of Yan people who are accustomed to victory in war have long lost the most primitive fear of war.

The father of Ji Chengjue once proved to him that as long as they can win, the Yan people can endure starvation, and their endurance will be terrible.

In fact, it’s not that the country of Yan is terrible, but the ethos of the old Yan people is the most terrible, because under this ethos, his father was born, the King of Jingnan and the King of Zhenbei were born, and a The people are willing to fight for the big Yan to open up the frontiers and expand the land.

The emperor took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and was enjoying the atmosphere at this time.

At this time, Nian Yao slowly walked over, seeming a little hesitant, but in the end he still spoke:

“Your Majesty, can the minister really go?”

“Do you think I’m lying to you? Jun has no jokes.

There is a general under the surname Zheng, who has been stationed in Fancheng for these years, that is the former savage king.

The man surnamed Zheng killed Qu Peiluo’s father and indirectly killed the family, but he still dared to use Qu Peiluo to establish the Chu character camp.

Nian Yao, what kind of special green onion is it?

It’s nothing more than the lower root being cut off by him.

Under the panic situation, all summers can be unified as soon as possible, and the world can be at peace as soon as possible. Compared with the unity of the whole world, anything will seem trivial.

I, giving you this opportunity, the surname Zheng, also promised to give you a chance.

you,

There is only one chance. ”

“Your majesty’s boldness, let the ministers admire.”

“How does it compare to your Emperor Chu?”

“The old master is actually a good emperor, and his heart is not bad. As your Majesty said earlier, the ingredients are different and the cooking skills are also different.”

“Really honest.”

“Chen, there is one more thing I want to ask. Although your majesty has just answered it, the minister still feels that your majesty suddenly trusts the minister like this, making the minister… somewhat flattered.

Your Majesty is really not afraid of the ministerial meeting…”

At this time, the cry of children came from the box next door.

The emperor frowned,

Road:

“It’s so noisy.”

Wei Zhonghe winked, and the two Ouchi guards standing at the door walked out and entered the next box.

After a while, he walked in with a baby in his arms, the child was still crying.

“The disgusting little things are so annoying.” The emperor beckoned, and at the same time continued to say to Nian Yao, “I originally thought that I would like children, but later discovered that I was actually very afraid of children crying and troublesome. The prince was well-behaved and sensible when he was a child, and knew that he would share the worries for his father.

The emperor reached out and grabbed the baby, too casually. The emperor was not a martial artist, and the child fell straight down.

Nian Yao subconsciously reached out to catch it.

He glanced down at the child, and his expression was abrupt;

This is a very inexplicable feeling, and when Yao hugged the child, the child stopped crying.

“Oh, it’s really a kiss from another generation, and so is my prince. The old beast spoils him exclusively.”

Nian Yao trembled, turned his head in astonishment, and looked at the emperor:

“Your Majesty… what did you just say?”

The emperor leaned over and looked at the child in Nian Yao’s arms,

Road:

“His surname is Nian, called Nianfu, and he is your grandson.”

“I…he…” Nian Yao’s eyes began to turn red, staring at the child in disbelief, and then at the emperor, “Your Majesty…this…”

Wei Zhonghe spoke at this moment:

“Your wife’s body has been ill since last year. After the imperial doctor’s diagnosis and treatment, there is no major problem. The eyes are not very visible, and the bones of the hands, feet and body are still neat.

Your son has long been married and married a poor daughter, but he looks good and has two sons. This is the newborn son, called Nianfu; your eldest grandson, is called Nianli.

Your daughter is also married, she has a son-in-law, and has a son named Nian Kuan. Now your daughter is pregnant again.

Father-in-law Nian, our family is so envious of you that you cry.

Our family can only accept a bunch of godsons and grandchildren, but for you, the father-in-law is in front of you. ”

Nian Yao opened his mouth, inhaling and exhaling, tears in his eyes.

The emperor stretched out his hand and patted Nian Yao on the shoulder.

Say to him

“Did you just ask me why you let you go out with such confidence.

Because I am not at a loss,

If you Nian Yao never return,

Yes,

After one year’s father-in-law walked in the palace, he was able to enter a group of…

Instead, I made a profit,

What do you say,

General of the year. ”

Nian Yao took a deep breath and delivered the child to the guard. Then, he stepped back two steps, knelt down on one knee, and pressed his fist against the floor:

“Final General, I would like to destroy Chu for your Majesty!”

The emperor turned around and stopped looking at Nian Yao.

Wei Zhonghe leaned in and said: “General Nian, go down and pick up things, get ready to go, your majesty has ordered our family to choose a house in the capital, and there is only one plaque for Nianfu.”

Nian Yao nodded, got up, and glanced at the baby one last time. Under the guidance of another guard, he walked out of the box. Then until he entered Jindong and saw the regent, there would be people from the Secret Service… escorting him all the way.

Mao Mingcai was also requesting to retire at this time, and he had to go to the cabinet to keep on duty. Tonight is his shift, and the officials are off, and it is impossible for everyone to take off.

all of a sudden,

Only the emperor and Duke Wei were left in the box.

“Wei Zhonghe.”

“The minion is here.”

“Let Lu Bing accompany Nian Yao to Jindong. After a few years of rest, it is time for Lu Bing to come out for activities.”

“The slave follows the order.”

Facing the Liujin River below, the emperor stretched his waist and said:

“So, Nian Yao is far behind that named Zheng.”

“No, Nian Yao is the defeated general of the regent after all.”

The emperor shook his head.

Road:

“I’m not the one I’m talking about, but the thing I’m talking about.”

“His Majesty?”

“You said, what would happen if it was brought here earlier, not his Nian Yao’s grandson, but the child surnamed Zheng?”

“hiss…”

Grandpa Wei, who accompanied the two generations of emperors with extraordinary strength and was originally a gas refiner, broke the power directly after this hypothesis was thrown out, and took a breath.

“Hahahahaha.”

When the emperor saw this, he burst into laughter and laughed very happily.

Father Wei also laughed along with him: “He…hehe…hehehe…”

You know, when Zheng Fan killed the previous generation Zaifu Zhao Jiulang on Pingxi Street in Beijing, his father Wei “witnessed” the whole process.

Dignified Dayan Zaifu, UU reading www.uukanshu.com was killed by the regent at that time like a chicken.

However, Wei Zhonghe knew that his Majesty would never do such a thing.

Is it love?

Do not,

It’s not just affection, it has far surpassed affection, and because of this, the affection between your majesty and the regent will be suppressed, and it will be extremely…unswerving;

The emperor raised his head,

Facing the bright moon,

With emotion:

“Fortunately, there is only one Zheng Fan in this world.”

Wei Gonggong just intends to go along,

The emperor said with emotion:

“Fortunately, there is Zheng Fan in this world.”
