On October 6, the imperial army besieged the capital of Shang Dynasty.
On October 7, Shang Wang Buyi went out of the city, holding Xuanshu, a symbol of Shangzhou Nan's throne, and bowed his head to the Ji Dynasty.
On October 8, the imperial dynasty bestowed the title of “Marquis Cheng,” the king of Shang, and sent people to “escort” Marquis Cheng and more than 400 people from his clan to settle in Jizhou. Liu Yusheng, who was traveling with the three young masters of Youzhou, took the initiative to request an escort.
Emperor Capital, 672 years ago, Emperor Weilie proclaimed himself the emperor here, built palaces and walls, entrusted civil servants to reward military commanders, and edicted the establishment of the Great Eastern Empire, which opened up the most glorious and magnificent part of the Great Eastern Empire. page. More than six hundred years have passed. It looks like a lion overlooking the entire Central Plains. It has been ups and downs in majesty and dominance, wealth and beauty, power and conspiracy, luxury and corruption. The vicissitudes of the century have been exhausted. Today, it is just a The old and somewhat twilight capital has been slowly washed away by the long river of time with its former glory and splendor.
The Imperial Palace, Dingtao Palace.
"The minister sees your majesty!"
A loud voice sounded. In the south study room of Dingtao Palace, a veteran with all white hair and beard saluted the man in casual clothes who was concentrating on painting in front of the book.
"General Dong is here, please get up soon." The man who was painting motioned to the waiter beside him to help the old general on the ground.
"Thanks, Your Majesty!" The old general did not need anyone's support. He stood up and moved quickly.
This old general is General Dongshu Wang of the Dadong Dynasty. In this chaotic world of wars and conflicts, he loyally guards the Dadong Royal Family. Although he is over 60 years old, he looks like a knife cut from the outside, except for the frosty beard and hair. His face and tall and magnificent figure are like a man of about 40 years of age, and he has the ability to throw a thousand pounds with his hand. When everyone sees him, the thought in his mind must be: This man must be a general!
"Aiqing came just right. How about this "Flower under the Moon" that I copied?" The man who painted enthusiastically pointed to the nearly completed work on the case. He is the current emperor of the Dadong Dynasty, in his early forties, of medium build, white face and slight beard, and there is no emperor's domineering demeanor, on the contrary, he has a scholarly elegance.
"A minister is a vulgar person, who doesn't understand the writing and ink, how can he know the beauty of your majesty's masterpiece." Dong Shufang did not go up to look at the painting, but replied with a slight bow.
"Oh." Emperor Jing Yan was a little disappointed. He moved his gaze from Dongshu back to the painting, watching his painting, his gaze slowly changed, slowly becoming gentle, becoming fiery, and slowly Earth, the whole heart and soul seemed to sink into the painting, it looked like a man looking at his favorite beauty, focused and obsessed.
"I have copied the "Flower under the Moon" written by Mr. Yue for dozens of times, but this time is the best, it's just..." Emperor Jing Yan moved his feet, his eyes shifted from his painting to the book case. On a painting in front of me, then I moved back to the painting I was looking at. I watched it so repeatedly, and the muttering continued to overflow, "No, it’s not right! The picture of the Moon Writer is one of the scenes, which is very visible. It's like putting it in a painting, it's really wonderful! Look at this month, it seems to come out, it's as bright as jade, but it's hazy. This flower seems to be put out, with its core and petals, and it is ashamed. Beautiful lady... Wonderful! Wonderful! Really wonderful! No wonder being called the'Prince Yuexiu', how can I compare to him!" As soon as he finished speaking and loosened his hand, the pen fell on his own painting In the painting, an unfinished "Flower under the Moon" was ruined.
And Dong Shufang, who looked at him, couldn't hide the disappointment and worry in his eyes.
"Your Majesty!" he called in a deep voice.
"Well," Emperor Jing Yan turned to face the loyal veteran in front of him, "What's the matter with Dong Aiqing?"
"Your Majesty, you are the prince of a country. You should focus on national affairs, and don't be obsessed with these... leisurely and elegant things!" Dong Shufang tried his best to speak tactfully. If the person above is not the emperor but his descendants or subordinates, with his temperament, he would have cursed and punched him.
Although the Dadong Dynasty exists in name only now, as long as the emperor is still there, as long as the emperor is still there, the dynasty will be there. And this Emperor Jingyan, since he became the throne, has never put his mind on the affairs of the court, and entrusts everything to Dongshufang alone, and is not afraid of being replaced. He is not as good as his predecessors, like wine, lust, wealth, war, and killing... His hobby is more elegant and gentle, he only loves painting and calligraphy. He has great enthusiasm for painting and calligraphy. He has copied the paintings of famous artists of various generations all day long, but he has never painted a painting of his own.
"Oh," Regarding Dong Shufang's advice, Emperor Jing Yan still didn't care, "With Aiqing, I don't have to worry about those nosy matters."
Dongshu can't laugh or cry when he hears it. Throughout history, it is probably only the emperor in front of him who treats government affairs as nosy, and writing and painting as business. Facing such an emperor, what should he do? After sighing, Dong Shu put his mind back on the purpose of entering the palace this time, "Your Majesty, the Nichen Bai has led the army to the mall, and after Jiaocheng, he will arrive at the imperial capital, and that person is holding the banner of'Su Tianxia' King Yong of China followed closely, the situation is already very critical, please..."
Dongshu put it in his stomach for a whole night before saying the beginning, and then he couldn't continue, because the emperor who was supposed to be terrified by hearing the words in front of him smiled at this time. This smile has been so many years For the first time, he felt that the man in front of him was an emperor, the supreme emperor!
Emperor Jing Yan smiled and looked at the worried minister in front of him. He was worried about this dying Dadong dynasty. It's a pity...the mockery appeared in his eyes involuntarily, but when he saw it The veteran's anxious but firm eyes turned his mockery into gratitude and sighs.
"General Dong, I have been in the throne for more than 20 years." Emperor Jing Yan said lightly, not wanting to calculate exactly how many years he had been. "Since I became the throne, I have pushed everything to the general. But I was hiding in this Dingtao Palace, writing and painting~IndoMTL.com~Listening to music..." He laughed self-deprecatingly as he said, "Speaking of which, I am really a monarch. For so many years, I have really suffered a general. The general is dedicated to assisting me and protecting the Great Eastern Empire. For decades, this loyalty is hard to come by!"
"These are the duties of a minister." Dong Shufang respectfully said, but he was a little surprised how the emperor said these words at this time.
Emperor Jing Yan shook his head, his gaze passed through Dongshufang, falling far away leisurely, as if looking at the scenery ahead. "You just said that King Yong is about to arrive at the mall, right? So fast, you deserve to be the descendant of King Zhaominglan. Where is the second king of the Qing Dynasty? And the descendants of King Flame, he Where is it?"
"Qing Wang moved to Juancheng after he had taken Yancheng, but Ji Wang had already taken Shangzhou and captured the six cities of the King's Domain, and now he has reached Chengcheng." Dong Shufang replied, While speaking, his brows were involuntarily frowned, and his eyes were sharp and disdainful. These rioters, huh!
"Well, they are all good." Emperor Jingyan nodded when he heard the words, "They do not insult their ancestors' fame, only our unscrupulous descendants who failed to inherit the ancestors' glory... Well, I don't know who will be the first. Arrived in the imperial capital."
"Your Majesty!" Dong Shufang shouted suddenly.
"Hehe." Emperor Jing Yan seemed to smile boredly, and the loyal veteran who looked at him had clear eyes like a mirror, no longer inattentive.
Dongshu couldn't help but look at the emperor in awe and awe. Has your majesty finally remembered the important task of being the king of the country?
"General Dong, how many do we have?" Emperor Jing Yan asked, seeing Dong Shufang's puzzled eyes, he added another sentence, "I mean, how many troops do we have?"
"My Majesty, there are one hundred thousand imperial guards under the ministers who have been guarding the imperial capital. Together with the defenders of other cities, we can gather at least two hundred thousand troops." Dong Shufang replied.
"Oh, so there are so many people." Emperor Jing Yan seemed to be a little surprised, he pondered a little, and then said, "Then General Dong will lead the 80,000 Imperial Guards to defeat the King Qing?"
"Crack against the Qing King?" Dong Shufang thought he had misheard, staring at Emperor Jing Yan with wide eyes, "Your Majesty, how can this be?" He couldn't care whether he would smash the emperor when he spoke. What about the imperial capital when I lead the imperial guards to crusade against the Azure King? The Northern King and Yongwang have hundreds of thousands of troops. How can the imperial capital's 20,000 imperial guards resist? At that time..."
Emperor Jing Yan waved his hand indifferently. "Didn't General Dong say just now. If you gather the guards of each city, there can be at least 200,000 troops. Then I will mobilize troops from each city to guard the capital. As long as the Eastern General will take the Qing King, and then go around from Juancheng to behind the Yong King, and then attack me on both sides, the Yong King will be like a turtle in the urn, and it will be captured by himself. Take the Yong King, and the general will wave his army to conquer Hebei. Wang, defeat Wang Ji, the world will be settled, right?"
"This..." Dong Shu said dumbly. The emperor's words seemed very reasonable, but was it so simple and smooth?
"Is General Dong not sure that he can defeat King Qing? Or is General Dong not believing that I can protect the imperial capital?" Emperor Jing Yan's voice suddenly revealed a sharpness.
"The old minister dare not!" Dong Shufang hurriedly bowed his head.
"That's good." Emperor Jingyan's voice resumed as usual, "Then General Dong will set out to fight against King Qing the next day."
"Your Majesty, it is not a day for the army to defeat the enemy, and all kinds of pre-war preparations are needed..." Dong Shu Fanggang spoke, but was interrupted by Emperor Jing Yan.
"What? Is the general afraid?" Emperor Jing Yan said coldly, his eyes seemed to have some contempt, "it seems that the general is really old, the Qing King Feng Xiyun heard that his reputation has been extremely high over the years. All literary talents and martial arts are good, and the Fengyunqi under his command is even more sturdy and invincible. If you want to come to the generals, you dare not fight against one!"
"Chen..." Dong Shufang looked at the emperor for a long time, then knelt on the ground, with his head hanging low, his grief and anger couldn't be concealed in his voice, "The minister will follow your majesty's will!"
"Yeah." Emperor Jing Yan nodded with satisfaction, "I have an imperial decree. You take it with you. If you can recruit the Qing King, it would be best. After all, she is my Dadong's courtier. How can I not give it? She is turning back, and this can also show my magnanimity. If she returns, then King Yong and King Ji might follow suit, then I will calm the world without a single soldier!" He drew out one hand. A piece of paper, a pen to write, and the edict is not long, but it will be over in a moment, and then he signaled to the waiter to bring the bag and seal it.
Dong Shufang took the sacred bag handed by the servant, looked up at the emperor, then lowered his head to cover up the bitter smile and full of disappointment, "Your Majesty is so kind, I hope Nichen can appreciate the Sacred Heart, early Surrender, be loyal to your Majesty!"
"Okay, you go." Emperor Jing Yan waved his hand.
"The minister retire." Dong Shu put a bow and retreated, his leaving back now looks old and tired.
The silence in the Dingtao Palace was restored again. Emperor Jing Yan's gaze fell back to the "Flower under the Moon" that the wind wrote about the moon. He watched for a long time, and then laughed softly. The sneer and cynicism were all sandwiched here. In a smile, there was a hint of incomprehensible relief, "Dong Aiqing, if a person's body is rotten, then no matter how clear-headed and clever, it is hopeless! You haven't figured it out for so many years. Right?"
Mall, government office.
He Qishu looked at the letter just sent on the case and mumbled: "It's really troublesome!"
"What's the trouble?" There was a chuckle from the door, Ren Chuanyu paced Fang stepping lightly, "What can make the shrewd General He trouble?"
"Hmph! The reason why I am so troublesome is not because of you." He Qishu frowned and looked at Ren Chuanyu, "If it weren't because you had a malignant heart and you turned your direction, the Lord would Will the preparations for the grain and grass be left to me? All these troublesome and trivial things were originally entrusted to you, an indifferent person!"
"Oh?" Ren Chuanyu touched his chin, not paying attention to He Qishu's vicious accusations, "Isn't it because General He is smart and capable, so the Lord entrusted you with a heavy responsibility?"
"My intelligence and talents must be used and used to kill the enemy on the battlefield of bright swords and guns, not like someone dedicated to those dark grooves." He Qishu said that he was merciless. Mo Yu rides four generals in terms of eloquence, and only He Qishu's viciousness can compete with Ren Chuanyu's sophistry.
"Discard special."
Seeing that a battle of words was about to begin, but was interrupted by someone striding in at the door.
"Why haven't the grain and grass arrived? The city has only five days' worth of grain and grass." Qiao Jin asked Xiang He Qishu, followed by Duanmu Wensheng and Ren Chuanyun.
"Hey!" He Qishu sighed heavily, "Pashan has been raining heavily for days, and the mud and rocks washed down on the mountain blocked the road, and the grain and grass could not be transported."
Qiao Jin frowned when he heard this, and looked at He Qishu, "A soldier with an empty stomach can't win the battle."
"I know." He Qishu rubbed his head in annoyance. "But if the grain and grass are to be delivered, the passage must be cleared first. If the grain and grass in the shopping mall are used sparingly, plus the ones from Yicheng, it should be able to support it. In about ten days, the grain and grass should be delivered by then, but..." He raised his head to look at his colleagues, "The Northern King has fled to Jiaocheng, and then it will be the imperial capital, so we cannot stay here for ten days. , I must set off in these two days, but if there is no food and grass, how can the army make it?"
"It's really troublesome." Duan Mu Wensheng repeated He Qishu's troubles unconsciously, "The army's departure cannot be delayed. The Northern King can attack the emperor, but he can't really get the emperor. "
"Is there no other way?" Ren Chuanyun asked.
"Yes." He Qishu glanced at the youngest General Chuanyun among them with a smile, "Go grab it! Would you like to lead the soldiers to grab the people?"
Ren Chuanyun rolled his eyes when he heard the words, "It would be no embarrassment to rob me, but our lord can't promise me to do such things that destroy his reputation and reputation."
"This is not the time to make a joke." Qiao waved his hand and looked at He Qishu, "Is there any other way?"
"Yes." He Qishu nodded. When a few people were too happy to be happy, he picked up the letter in his hand, "But I just received this news, so I haven't figured out a way yet."
"Do you have to wait until the army sets out on an empty stomach to figure it out?" Duan Muwen said.
"Well, it's just such a small matter, which bothers you so much." Ren Chuanyu silently shook his head and sighed.
"Brother, do you have a way?" Ren Chuanyun's eyes lit up.
"Of course." Ren Chuanyu stroked his chin and nodded, "You can revise the book, please ask Qingwang. Before the imperial capital takes it down, Fengyunqi should not go out easily. It must be taking a break. So we can set off as planned. We went to Jiaocheng, and Liangcao asked Qingwang from Juancheng to allocate part of it to us first, and then asked him to send troops to Pashan Shutong Road, and then **** the food team to catch up with us. This is not enough."
The four generals were stunned when they heard the words. The way to let the rain seem to be good, just think about it...
"I have always been puzzled." He Qishu stared at Ren Chuanyu, "It seems that from the beginning, I haven't seen the Qing Wang, so you have targeted her everywhere and Fengyunqi. Why? You know Qing The relationship between the king and the master is not just as simple as a marriage alliance. They have known each other for ten years, and the friendship between them is not comparable to that of ordinary people. The two states of Qing and Yong are even more so integrated because of the combination of the two armies. Take Beizhou. But why do you have to do something that separates the two kings and the two armies? Why do you, a conceited and intelligent person who is only under the Lord, always make some unknown and unwise actions?"
As soon as He Qishu said this, the other three also turned to look at Ren Chuanyu, which is also the doubt that has always been in their hearts.
"Well, it seems that it is always difficult for a good person to do it." Ren Chuanyu was looked at by the four people, and couldn't help smiling bitterly. "In your eyes, I Ren Chuanyu is really a villain?"
"I don't know if you are a villain, but you are definitely not a gentleman." Duan Muwen said, "but we never doubted your loyalty to the Lord!"
"Oh." Ren Chuanyu listened, but smiled without discerning the joys and sorrows. He fixed his eyes on the sword on the sword rack. After a long time, he asked, "What do you think of Qing Wang? "
The four were silent for a moment, and finally Qiao Jin said: "Tianzi Fengyi, talent is unparalleled."
This is a compliment that is widely circulated in the world. It used to be a bit too much, but now they are truly convinced from the bottom of their hearts that she deserves her name.
Ren Chuanyu nodded, feeling the same, "Since ancient times, there have been two types of women who admire the world, but they can also be the world."
The four of them were all shocked when they heard this. They seemed to knock on a door, and something they had never thought of before flew out of the door.
"The first type is the beauty of the country." Ren Chuanyu's eyes still fixed on the sword, "These women all have beautiful features, which can be charming, charming, confusing, and stunned. The soul, so that everyone is infatuated, sacrificed their lives, separated from relatives and friends, sellers and abandoned the country... Even if they fell into the **** of Abi, they would not hesitate to ask for a relative Fangze. This is a disaster for a beauty! /
"The other kind is the intellect." Ren Chuanyu moved his eyes and looked at Qiao Jin brightly. "This kind of woman is extremely intelligent, and she is in the wild, which can convince the heroes. In the court, the dragon bows her head. The world also plays in the palm of the hand. Such a woman must also be conceited and intelligent, ambitious, and will not be reconciled to others. The light one holds a family and a country, and the heavy one must hold the world in the palm!"
The four of them looked awe-inspiring when they heard this.
"Qing Wang, she not only has beauty..." Ren Chuanyu smiled suddenly, smiling with infinite emotion, "She has talent, wisdom, virtue, and martial arts, and even... she has a country, There are wealth, people, soldiers, and a group of civil servants and generals who are loyal to her, and they are attached to Qingzhou's thousands of people! Such a woman...can she stand behind others?"
There was silence in the room, no one said anything. They were all thinking, thinking about the beautiful, elegant, talented queen, who seemed peaceful, but often she only took a look, but they were deeply in awe.
"She has a marriage alliance with the Lord. After her marriage with the Lord, she will be the queen who stands behind the king." Duan Mu Wensheng said in a deep voice, hasn't it been this way since ancient times?
"This is even more worrying." Ren Chuanyu's eyes flashed with hidden worry, "The flower path paved to welcome the Qing King, the wind platform built for the ceremony of peace, and the orchid planted for her for eight years. Yin Biyue... can't you see these?"
"What's wrong with this? The two kings have a deep affection, which will only benefit the friendship between the two states." Duan Mu Wensheng was happy to see that the Lord could do something for someone. This kind of Lord seemed to be somewhat Human touch, not a perfect but ruthless person who is not like flesh and blood.
"Huh! The deep friendship can make the two states more integrated? You think too simple!" Ren Chuanyu smiled coldly.
"Is the king's way a lone way?" Ren Chuanyun, who has been silent, looked at his elder brother and sighed heavily. Since childhood, he has been dependent on his brother for life, and only his brother can know one or two things in his heart.
"Yes, the kingly way is a solitary way, it is a way to walk one person!" Ren Chuanyu sighed long and raised his brows. "Since ancient times, any emperor has always stood at the highest point and walked at the highest point. No one can stand in front of him, no one can stand in front of him, everyone can only follow him and stand behind him!"
The four generals were choked.
"Furthermore, an emperor, who is always the first in his heart can only be Jiangshan Sheji! No one or anything can be overstepped! Otherwise, it will be a fetter, which will only prevent him from reaching the highest position!" Ren Chuan Yu slightly clenched his fists, "Emperor Weilie, who won the world with a piece of common clothes, what a majestic strategy, but today... the Great Eastern Dynasty is torn apart, the princes are fighting for hegemony, the war is chaotic, the people are not living... But this situation is awe-inspiring. It was made by Emperor Lie! The entrustment of the king and the country was splitting the soil and decentralizing power. The seven generals were loyal to him, but the descendants of the seven generals will be loyal to him in a hundred years? Does Emperor Weilie know that? But he did. He still wants to grant the king to the country! And why is he like this? Isn't it just for the Fengwang! If the country is set for a woman, such an emperor is not a qualified king at all, and he is not worthy of being a king!"
These words, like a cold knife and sharp blade, made the four generals frightened.
Ren Chuanyu's gaze is like a sword, "Do you want to see the Lord walk the old way of Emperor Weilie? Want us to return to the world with our flesh and blood to end today?" He raised his eyes and looked across the four. The sunlight from outside the window was folded by the copper sheath of the sword, and fell in his eyes little by little, but he couldn't warm those eyes. Those eyes were cold, and the sound was not warm, like ice falling. Han Tan, "You all have seen that Fengyunqi and the people of Qingzhou are only loyal to her and surrendered to her. If one day... draw the sword, she will be us... She will be the Lord's biggest and most dangerous enemy! Therefore, either weaken her strength, or...she can't keep it, because there is only one monarch who swears allegiance to the death!"
The sun is shining outside the window. Although the weather in October is not too hot, it is never cold. But in the room, it was chilly at this moment, and the four people standing quietly had turbulent waves in their hearts.
When Feng Xiyun saw the letter sent by Mo Yuqi, he did not hesitate or doubt.
"Cheng Zhi, allocate half of the food and grass from the city, and you will **** three thousand people to Mo Yuqi."
"Xu Yuan, you lead five thousand people to Pashan Shutong Road."
"Yes!" Xu Yuan and Cheng Zhi led the way.
Looking at the backs of them leaving, Xiu Jiurong's heart moved and said: "Master, we have been attacking the city for several months. Although our casualties are small, we have lost nearly a thousand people, and there are also two injured. Thousands of people, plus the defenders left after the capture of each city, at this time another 8,000 people were dispatched, and after careful calculation, there are less than 30,000 people in the city. And Mo Yuqi has an army of 200,000. Can't even allocate 10,000 people to transport grain and grass? The Northern Army is not a warrior."
"Don't care, Jiurong." Feng Xiyun smiled and soothed his beloved general, "Anyway, we will stay here to rest before King Yong takes the imperial capital, so it's nothing to help them transport food and grass."
At this moment, they didn't know that Dong Shufang was ordered to lead the 80,000 Imperial Guards coming to Juancheng.
Feng Xiyun is a famous general who uses soldiers like gods, but she is not a prophet. She thinks with the mind of a military strategist. Jizhou Zhengtianqi is busy taking the land and soil city of the kingdom into his palm, while the Northern Army is too busy to escape. The imperial capital should be busy preparing to resist the army of the Northern King and the Yong King. I really can't think of what war would come if she hadn't taken the initiative to send troops. It was also because she was thinking with the mind of a soldier, so she did not expect that Emperor Jing Yan in the imperial capital did not know how to use soldiers, so that in the future countless heroic souls in the Luoying Mountain played a heroic heartbroken song with blood and swords. .
If they can predict what will happen in the future, Ren Chuanyu will happily send out letters, and Feng Xiyun, she would definitely rather split the two armies than send troops to deliver food!
It's just that if they predicted further, Ren Chuanyu might not target Feng Xiyun at the beginning, he might enshrine it like a **** and bodhisattva from the beginning.
And Feng Xiyun, if she can learn about the future, will she be engaged with Feng Lanxi and form an alliance with Yongzhou? Will he still help Feng Lanxi conquer the world so unselfishly?
