Devil’s Advent - Vol 4 Chapter 58
A Chu army is marching on the rugged mountain road. They are building bridges, they are paving roads, and they are building villages;
From the order issued by the highest peak, the level of control, the progress and precision of the construction, have reached an amazing level.
even,
Chen Xianba, who came to inspect, felt a little surprised;
Even if you want to stab, there is no place to do it for you.
Ahead, Xie Zhuyang, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was being pushed by guards to inspect the progress of the project. He also found the Yanjun cavalry that appeared in the distance.
Xie Zhuyang did not take the initiative to greet him, but asked the guards around him to order to speed up the progress.
…
“Master, the construction period is progressing very quickly.”
Chen Xianba, who returned to the handsome account, gave a report very honestly.
“Gu saw it.”
This march is obviously difficult, but the progress of the army has not slowed down much.
The difficult sections were laid early, and the long bridge has been built at the location of the cliff bypass. The location of the military village is also just right, as far as possible to ensure the marching speed of the army, while providing a proper rest. place.
Zheng Fan is no longer a baby on the battlefield. Of course, he knows a battle. The real effort is not to wave his hand before the battle, but to make various details and foreshadowing before that. Kind of preparation.
Xie Zhuyang really showed his ability as one of the four pillars of the Great Chu Kingdom.
The defeat in Gu Yuecheng belonged to the fact that under certain circumstances, two young generals who were not afraid of tigers were chased and beaten all the way. It was a bit miserable, but this does not mean that he Xie Zhuyang is really an idiot;
“Xianba, Tian Tian.”
“The end will be!”
Departure every day, standing beside Chen Xianba.
“Xie Zhuyang’s old dog is still capable. You two will take turns to lead the department to supervise the work. You must study his fine water milling skills and learn it.”
“Here!”
“Here!”
In the handsome tent, Xie Yuan quietly picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea.
After Xianba and Tiantian went out,
Zheng Fancai turned his eyes to Xie Yu’an and said:
“I heard that although your Xie family is one of the four pillar kingdoms, the four nobles of Chu originally did not have your Xie family.”
“Yes.” Xie Yuan replied.
“Gu now knows the reason.”
Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: “They think that my Xie family and the Shanyue people are playing too closely, so they can’t get on the stage.”
“No, in Gu’s opinion, other Chu aristocrats prefer to retreat, but you are more inclined to be pragmatic when you thank your family.”
Xie Yuan opened the mouth and said: “This is probably because my Xie family is in southern Chu. It’s like Yan Guo has been facing threats from the barbarians in the western desert for hundreds of years, so it tends to be light and… Efficient.
In my opinion, the reason why the country of Yan is strong is the merits of the first emperor of the country of Yan, the merits of the king of the north of Jingnan, and the merits of your lord;
But in fact,
Yan State has accumulated abuses, but has never been weak.
The first emperor and the two princes did not act to prosper and strengthen the country, but to break the shackles that were originally bound to Yan State. Even if the shackles were themselves, they broke the bones and were connected to them. Still firmly pressed his hand.
Dayan cavalry was not built overnight, and it is precisely because of the loss of these shackles that Dayan cavalry can fight in all directions more calmly. ”
Zheng Fan nodded.
Xie Yu’an continued: “In comparison, I think that the prince, your governance in Jindong, is actually another copy of the country of Yan that year, and it is even worse.”
“Oh?”
“Because Yan is mainly worried about the threat from the desert. In Jindong, you need to worry about the threat from the snowy field and the threat from the Chu country. At the same time, you need to be vigilant about the repetition of the land. More importantly, , The prince has always been worried and guarded against threats from the court of Yan Kingdom.
Because Jindong is the place of the Four World Wars, the military and civilians are able to stand up to their strengths;
The Jindong iron cavalry of the prince was a powerful army spawned in this environment. ”
“You can see clearly.”
“The prince is absurd. It’s easy to see through, but it’s… difficult to do.”
“Do it slowly, there is always a chance, just like your father did.”
“Yes, the kid is taught.”
Xie Zhuyang worked so hard, not hesitating to take advantage of the Xie family’s influence among the Shanyue tribes in the south of Chu, to recruit a large number of Shanyue people to open the way for the army, not just for this battle.
In fact, if only to deal with this war, Xie Zhuyang had done too much.
Obviously only one-time fortifications are needed, but Xie Zhuyang is doing it in accordance with the standard of sustainable use for ten and twenty years.
Why?
Because the Xie family’s basic board is here, after this time the cutting goes smoothly, Qianguo Jiangnan, after being ravaged by the iron hoof of the Yan people, will continue to open to Chunan Cave.
Build roads more solidly, a bit like ‘build roads if you want to get rich’;
Opening up the connection between southwestern Chu and Ganjiangnan will be of great benefit to the development of the entire southwestern Chu in the future.
Similarly, as the only great noble who took root here, the future development of the Xie family will naturally be better.
Therefore, Zheng Fan, the regent of Dayan, had such a high evaluation of Xie Zhuyang.
When there is still hope in Da Chu, Xie Zhuyang is willing to use his example as a bait to fight for a chance to comeback;
After Da Chu had no hope, he was able to bend and stretch again. Under Zheng Fan’s orders, he dragged the sick body to the front line, opening the way for the Yan people;
When working, he did not grind foreign work, but focused on the future of the Xie family;
This person,
It’s terribly pragmatic.
Zheng Fan picked up the teacup, Yu Guang glanced at Xie Yu’an again;
Without the father Xie Zhuyang, under the original trajectory, it would be difficult for Xie Yu’an to take the Xiong clan and replace Chu in such a smooth manner.
“Master, is the speed of our army marching too fast?” Xie Yuan asked.
Zheng Fan shook his head and said, “Fortunately, it’s too slow for loneliness.”
The prince stretched,
He has been yearning for Jiangnan for too long;
From the earliest days when I ate sand in Hutou City, I was looking forward to the Huahua Jiangnan of Qianguo. To a certain extent, you can say that it is rotten, you can criticize it for its depravity, and you can count its extravagance. The ground is smashed up without being wronged;
But you can’t deny that
From Zheng Fan’s perspective,
That Jiangnan,
This is the most in line with Zheng Fan’s perception of the ancient “picturesque country”.
Brothel Oiran,
Poems and songs,
A gifted man,
This **** thing is called life.
In contrast, Dayan’s golden iron horse is okay, but compared with the thin horses in Jiangnan, the “red tent” is nothing short of scum;
If it weren’t for Siniang to set up some high-end venues in Jindong to save a bit of face, then the entire north, the land of Yanjin, would really be a bunch of buns.
Earlier, Zheng Fan and the demon kings also discussed, in case something is not going to happen, the big deal is to go to the south of the Yangtze River to be chic and unrestrained.
But things went counterproductive. With Zheng Fan’s rise in the country of Yan, the rising of his status and status, early cut off the possibility of Zheng Fan going to the south of the Yangtze River to see the scenery;
The reason is just one… fear of Yinjiawei.
I gathered my mind,
Zheng Fan waved his hand.
Road:
“I know what you are worried about, but it doesn’t matter. On the other hand, they can cooperate well.”
Xie Yuan opened his mouth, and finally could only say:
“I’m so…envious.”
Even if the eldest prince and Li Liangshen are eliminated and Liang Cheng and Gou Moli are sitting on the northern battlefield, Zheng Fan does not have to worry about not being able to cooperate and respond;
Even if limited by the way of message transmission, there is bound to be a large degree of sluggishness, but it does not matter, who is Dayan, who calls him Jindong… how handsome?
At this time, Liu Dahu walked in:
“Master, it’s time for lunch.”
“it is good.”
Liu Dahu ordered someone to bring lunch, and a group of younger guards brought it up, and Zheng Lin was also there;
However, this son of my own has a bad temper, but when he gets things done, he really doesn’t have to worry. He has been hiding very well, and he hasn’t shown any sense of alienation.
This kind of concealment will at least last until the army enters the south of the Yangtze River.
The Juggernaut and the Sword Maker also walked in and ate together. The four of them sat at a table and divided meals;
A meal is not a pleasant one, but it also adds a lot of softness to the daily life.
After a meal,
Zheng Fan stepped out of the handsome account and began to practice the sword at the same time.
The Juggernaut and the sword maker began to play chess;
At dusk, the handsome account moved and everyone started on the road again. However, leaving aside Xie Zhuyang’s side and Nian Yao’s side, the fifty thousand Chinese army led by Zheng Fan was divided into two parts;
Therefore, the migration of the handsome account is much simpler, from the end to the front end, and then you can continue to wait to become the end.
The reason for this is not for marching and command considerations.
It is purely that you can take a day off;
After following the handsome account,
Xie Yu’an also slowly discovered the ease of the regent, and silently admired it in his heart.
When I think of my previous game with him, my side is very nervous, and the regent on the opposite side is still this kind of calm posture…
Losing may really not be injustice.
…
Yanjing City
An uproar has been set off in the capital.
The state of Chu declared himself a minister to the regent mansion of the east of Shanxi, and surrendered to the state. At the same time, the state of Chu’s envoys still used the “state of Chu” when sending envoys to the imperial court.
The ambassador of Chu even vowed to shout: I, Da Chu, was only defeated by the regent, not by Yan.
This time, not only the Chaotang Fryer, but also the Shilin and the folks were caught in a situation of endless disputes between the two factions.
Some people argue that this is really an obvious divorce scheme by the people of Chu, in order to divide the court and the palace, and must not be fooled;
But there are also many people who argue that with such an obvious divorce, his regent is going to go up, which is obviously ambition!
In fact, in recent years, the argument about the threat of Jindong’s royal mansion to the central government has been unbroken;
But just like in Jindong, it was Zheng Fan who held the reins and made the soldiers of Jindong hold back and watch the rebellion. On the court side, Ji Laoliu was also on the tie, and the Jindong threat theory did not become the mainstream.
…
“call…”
Emperor Dayan is resting on the queen’s lap, and the queen is picking ears for it.
Ji Chengjue liked He Sisi’s legs very much. In comparison, Lingxiang’s figure was slightly thinner, and it was uncomfortable to put it on the pillow.
Especially after the weather is hot, the touch of the hand makes it not only soft but also Ryujitsu, not to mention how comfortable it is.
“Father.”
The prince came in;
Because there is no barrier, the intimacy and demeanor of the father and mother are completely in the eyes of the prince.
Ji Chuanye…has been used to it a long time ago.
The emperor also deliberately did not make any taboos. It is true that the family’s relatives are weak, but in many cases, it is nothing more than an upward effect;
Because I have eaten enough of my father’s hardship in the ethical relationship between family,
In fact, Ji Chengjue paid great attention to cultivating the tenderness of his own generation.
There is nothing wrong with letting the son see the deep feelings between the parents;
Of course, Ji Chengjue knows more clearly that the key to ensuring harmony for the next generation is not moral essays, and his own “leading by example” is not very accurate;
The main thing is to let the prince, there is always no doubt that it is the prince, not to give the other boys a little chance.
Among brothers, under the premise that there is no competition for interests, no emperor is willing to bear the infamy of cruelty to siblings.
“Is it noisy outside?”
“Yes.”
“What do you think?” the emperor asked.
“In response to the emperor’s father, the child minister felt that it had nothing to do with the emperor and the child minister.”
“Oh?”
“Because whether it is the court or the people, what is arguing is nothing more than the attitude of the regent, the heavenly family can completely stay out of the matter.”
Supporting the regent is still Dayan Zhongliang, it must also be loyal to His Majesty;
It is believed that the regent’s concealment of evil intentions is almost obvious, but also for the sake of the court for the sake of the emperor;
On this basis, no matter how fierce the quarrel outside is, what does it have to do with the heavens?
“Where is the cabinet?”
“In return to the emperor, the elders in the cabinet, because the emperor has greeted him a long time ago, so they are all quiet.”
“Well, you remember, as long as the cabinet is not messy, the people below can be ignored no matter how noisy they are.”
“Children remember.”
The emperor sat up on the empress’s lap, and the empress helped pat the dragon robe on the shoulder;
“I talk to the prince.”
“The concubine will go down and prepare some snacks for you father and son?”
“No, I’ll go out for a walk and get some breath.”
The emperor came out, followed by the prince.
Wei Zhonghe and Zhang Banban followed, one left and the other right, and at the same time, they stepped back and left, leaving their privacy completely to the heavenly father and son.
“Passing the industry.”
“Father.”
“What you said earlier was correct, but you said it again.”
“Father, please correct me.”
“No matter how much they quarrel, they really have nothing to do with me or you; but you, the prince, shouldn’t say these things.”
“Erchen just feels that in front of the father, there should be no concealment.”
“Ugh…”
The emperor sighed.
Reach out,
Put it on the shoulder of the prince,
Bow your head,
Looking at the face of the prince;
The crown prince was actually about the same height as the emperor, but at this time, he appeared to be lower because he was bowing.
“Are you wrong?”
“Children…”
The prince took a deep breath and said: “Wrong.”
“Ok.”
The emperor didn’t ask him where he was wrong, but patted him on the shoulder, and then withdrew his hand.
“You are very smart. You were smart when you were young, and you can get started quickly in government affairs. You are a good grandson appointed by your grandfather.
But sometimes, it is inevitable to be clever and mistaken by cleverness. The cabinet is a good place to train people, and the cabinet is also a place where people are easily trapped.
The sirs of the cabinet,
Most of them have a common heart;
But where they are open, it is Dayan;
And you and my father and son, surnamed Ji, the so-called Gongxin, here, it is inevitable that we are more inclined to our world.
Can be biased,
Your grandfather, the brotherhood with the two princes of the north and the south, has supported Dayan’s sky;
Your father and me, relying on the brotherhood with that surname Zheng, continue to open up territory for Dayan;
When you wait…”
“Father, my son understands.”
“Thanks for your hard work, the emperor, you are a lonely man. From the day you became the prince, no, from the day when your grandfather picked you up, you have to learn to gradually become less like a person;
When you are almost ready to do it, you have to learn how to be a person again.
Think about your Uncle Zheng, and think about your brother Tiantian;
Think more about love, don’t calculate, and don’t watch out;
In fact, you don’t have to think so much, it’s the best way.
Not to mention that this world hasn’t been completely defeated yet, even if your father and your uncle Zheng join hands, in the father’s generation, all of this world will be included in the bag;
The next generation of you, the ruler of success, don’t you still need someone to quell the chaos for you?
Be generous, free and easy. ”
The prince nodded.
“Go ahead.”
“Children retired.”
The prince left
At this time, Wei Zhonghe approached the emperor’s ears and reported something.
“Oh?”
The emperor was a little surprised.
In the recent wave of public opinion in Beijing, some of the people in the Prince’s Mansion turned out to be inciting behind the scenes;
After the instigation, the group of people on the face of the Prince’s Mansion took the initiative to stand on the front line supporting the regent, Dayan Zhongliang, to “charge into battle.”
This thing is done very concealedly;
“It’s me, I think too much.”
Wei Zhonghe and Zhang Gonggong stood on the side and didn’t interrupt.
The good news is that my son always remembers and knows which side he should stand on;
What made the emperor feel a little depressed,
The son didn’t tell the truth to himself;
This is because the prince and his princelings, the team, are completely different from the Min family team he had when he was the prince;
The first emperor’s control over himself was not as strong as his control over the prince.
The emperor took a deep breath.
Reach out,
Grabbing the wrinkles on his forehead that have not been fully unfolded;
As an emperor, when you realize that your son has begun to become the heir to the country, you will instinctively perceive a threat…
“Be generous, free and easy, you have to think about love…”
The emperor repeated to himself what he had said about educating the prince.
“By the way, Wei Zhonghe.”
“The minion is here.”
“Day, is it almost.”
“In response to your Majesty, it is indeed almost the case.”
“are you ready?”
“According to your majesty’s orders, the minion is ready.”
The emperor nodded,
The little depressive air from before was swept away in an instant.
“Order the cabinet to make a plan.”
“The slave follows the order.”
The emperor patted his cuff,
Road:
“Come on, I want to take a look. It’s wrong with this book, can you Ji Chuanye keep up with me!”
…
The next day,
A decree shook the entire Yanjing city.
Emperor Dayan made a clear order for the world and rebuked the regent for being bold and reckless!
The emperor’s personal end,
Let the fire burst out completely.
That afternoon,
The prince led a group of Eastern Palace ministers and ministers who were in support of the Regent to meet in front of the palace gate, and intercede for the Regent.
The emperor was furious,
Wei Zhonghe was ordered to use the secret spy secretary to punish the ministers who followed the prince’s petition, and more than half of them were sent to the secret spy secretary’s prison;
The prince himself was punished by the emperor to face the wall in the east palace for three months;
That night, the emperor ordered the second prince and the third prince to enter the imperial study room to inquire about homework;
Another prince’s wind sounded, suddenly a drum!
Three days later,
The emperor announced that he would travel to Yinlang County in the south;
The world knows that the army led by the Great Prince and Li Liangshen in Yinlang County is an elite group that the court has mastered that can fight against the Jindong Iron Cavalry in the field.
…
A series of news,
Through the Yinjiawei system, it was delivered to Shangjing at the fastest speed;
All of a sudden, the people and officials in the capital cheered, coming, coming, they finally look forward to it!
And in the imperial study room,
The official Zhao Mugou, who had recently enthroned, sat on the dragon chair,
Li Xundao and other Xianggong sat down;
This is the real core center of the current state of the country. After the coup, their group has mastered the real power of the current state of the country.
but,
Right now, it was dead and silent, and the atmosphere seemed extremely depressing.
finally,
With a “bang”, UU read www.uukanshu.com
The official slapped the royal case with a slap,
Yelled:
“Come again, come again!
Yan Ren’s trick,
Is it not tired of playing? ”
Li Xundao opened his mouth and said, “The price of meat and wine in Shangjing City has risen today.”
The people are celebrating, celebrating that Yan Gou is finally about to civil strife.
Li Xundao sighed.
Road:
“The Yan people don’t care if this trick is used or not.
Because every time,
There will be a group of fools who believe it. ”
