Devil’s Advent

v3 Chapter 303: Beacon

"Because the minister is there."

Say this with confidence.

Once, Dayan's uncle Ping Ye, the little prince of the barbarian, Nian Yao, the great general of Chu State, and Zhong Tianlang of Qian Guo were called the next generation's four outstanding soldiers.

But now, no one is clinging to this statement anymore, even people who are doing it will not mention it again.

Literati can rely on flattery. After all, at any time, literati always play with high and widowed things. If you bluff in your own circle and hold each other's stinky feet, it is difficult for outsiders to put a beak. If you dare to put a beak, you have no eyes and no good works. .

However, military commanders cannot stand up purely by flattery. Moreover, the merits of military commanders are not included, but on the external battlefield.

It is said that the little prince of the barbarian fought many tribes in the desert, but the desert was too far away from the eastern countries. Secondly, his demotion to his Majesty Emperor Dayan was too much to detract from his image.

Zhong Tianlang once ate several Yanren Fortresses on the border, but when the eldest prince came to Nanwang City, Zhong Tianlang also settled down there, quite a bit of bullying and fear of hardship.

In addition to capturing a few princes at home, General Nianyao's greatest foreign war feat was relying on Zhennan Pass and having played against Jingnan Hou.

Everyone knows how difficult it is to play against Jingnan Houtian Wujing, but this foreign record does sound a bit aggrieved.

Only Uncle Zheng,

Three hundred rides down Mianzhou City, and walks away from the prefect;

Qianqi went deep into the hinterland of the country, beheading the King of Fortune and leaving;

Three thousand riders followed Li Fusheng into a town and went to enjoy the snow outside the capital;

Thousands of horses rushed to seize the snow customs, ruining the main savages in one fell swoop.

Because Jingnan Hou is not likable among the people, there are a lot of people touting Hirano, and what's more, there is a saying that Hirano has more soldiers.

For the Dayan Chaotang bosses present, they had already passed their passionate age. If officials were also classified into ranks, they had already stepped into a state of immobility.

This is not just talking about it, but how the Tibetan master from Qianguo led his disciples in his early years to cultivate into concentration. He once took a group of disciples to Beijing and entered the imperial court.

The Hanlin of Qianguo is extremely noble, but if you want to be successful in the future, you must be tempered by the Hanlin Academy.

The Hanlins are cultivating in the Hanlin for the future Zhu Zigui and Qingliang Umbrella,

The Qi refiners watched them in the compartment as they practiced painstakingly to reach concentration;

What's more, the Tibetan master personally said that the mentality cultivation of the lords at the time was only higher than him.

The adults in the imperial study room are equivalent to the comradeship levels of Qianguo. They don't like Meng Lang, they only like to govern the big country like cooking small fresh food, thinking about stability, and they also dislike this too radical color.

But in the face of Uncle Hirano’s words,

There were no waves in their hearts.

After all, it was the emperor who was elected by Emperor Yan himself after the horse stepped on the door. Because of the monopoly of power and the stability of the monarchy, when selecting these officials, the emperor did not have to consider political balance and nobles and scholar-bureaucrats as much as the emperors of other countries did. The entanglement of factions.

Therefore, this group of officials may have different personalities, and in private, it is inevitable that they will have some personal hobbies, but in terms of major issues, they stand with the Emperor Yan.

Earlier, many people have stated their reasons.

However, Uncle Hirano’s reason seemed simple and rude, but it made everyone feel that it was the most tenable.

This young uncle Dayan has indeed never lost a war since he joined the army. Moreover, as long as he participated in it, he was a big winner, and he was also best at making big gains with his small ones.

Of course, besides him, there is also the Jingnan Hou standing behind him.

Taking the current situation of Dayan to force a national war, it is really a gambling. If you win, even if there are still problems, you can at least maintain the stability of the society in the general direction. If you lose, the society will be in danger of overthrowing. .

and so,

The thoughts of the big guys now, after Uncle Zheng’s words were said,

Turned out to be:

Since it's a gambling, why don't people who have a good spirits come to someone who has never lost?

Military affairs are not a trifling matter;

The major events of the country are worship and military;

But everyone just can't help thinking about that, without him, try to be auspicious.

At this time,

Xu Qiutai said:

"Your Majesty, the King of the North of Zhenbei needs to guard the Beifeng County. The court will not transfer him to leave as a last resort. The man who is the commander in the war of the country must be the Lord Jingnan.

Therefore, the minister thought that we should first attack Chu. "

This time, Xu Qiutai, who was Shang Shuling, directly killed Jingnan Hou in one bite.

Because last time the army of the Eastern Expedition was led by the prince, there were mistakes that led to the defeat of the Left Army and heavy casualties.

Although the command and conduct of the prince were not improper, and victory or defeat was commonplace in the military, everyone knew that if the Lord Jingnan was in charge at the first time, the defeat of Wangjiang would not happen for the first time.

Your Majesty wants to start a country war, we promised, but there are some things, your Majesty must also know in his heart.

Emperor Yan's gaze sank slightly.

He could hear Xu Qiutai's implication. He was worried that he would let the eldest prince lead the troops, or he would lead the troops in the early stage.

but,

Emperor Yan was not angry, because it was his own son who was once disappointed.

This time the national war, the commander-in-chief must be Tian Wujing, because Li Liangting's body is not good at all, and it is not suitable to go back and forth again.

and so,

Under the premise of Tian Wujing’s commanding troops, it is the most appropriate choice to let him send troops from the land of the Three Jins to attack Chu immediately. After all, the military power of the land of the Three Jins has actually fallen into Jingnan a long time ago. Hou is in control.

On the way to Beijing earlier,

Uncle Hirano can directly dispatch large camps outside Yingdu City with the order of Jingnan Hou Jun. This is the best proof.

at last,

Emperor Yan nodded,

Road:

"Tomorrow will meet, first fight, and then direct against Chu."

Below, all of the court officials kowtow together:

"The ministers follow the decree."

"The ministers follow the decree."

The meaning is very simple. The theme has been determined today. After you go back, you will have a chance with your respective forces. Tomorrow, everyone will determine these two policies together and take a form.

In fact, the words of Emperor Yan, like the previous words of the prince, are detrimental to the image of "Holy Monarch".

It is obviously inappropriate for this kind of black-box manipulation to control the affairs of the state to be so clear and straightforward.

But the big guy dared to criticize and question the prince,

But no one dared to question the Emperor Yan.

"Just stop here, Zheng Fan stay."

"The ministers retired."

"Children retired."

Both the adults and the two princes left.

Wei Zhonghe led a group of eunuchs to move the chair away, but still left one, and moved the chair forward, signaling Uncle Zheng to sit closer to His Majesty.

The emperor had a lot of things every day. Wherever there is any saliva wasted every day on "giving a seat," "giving tea", and "sit closer", he still has to rely on this personal **** to convey it.

Uncle Zheng sat down,

Emperor Yan stood up and left the imperial case.

The emperor stood up, Uncle Zheng could only stand up again.

"I and you have not seen each other for a long time."

"In response to your Majesty, it's been more than two years."

"Well, life flies so fast."

"Although the minister has never seen the face of the sky in the past two years, but the grace of the sky is majestic, he often accompanies him."

Emperor Yan laughed when he heard this, and said;

"It's hard for you. He's a general, but he's better at speaking beautiful words than those princes."

"..." Zheng Fan.

"Zheng Fan, do you think the times make the heroes, or the heroes make the times?"

"The minister thought it was both possible."

"I don't like hearing ambiguous answers from my ministers the last."

"Your Majesty forgive your sins, the minister does not mean that. Here, the times create heroes. If you don't catch up with the wise and powerful majesty, the minister will naturally not be able to rely on military merits to be nobles. Maybe, it is still only the head of Qian, or still Be a captain and guard in Hutou City or Cuiliu Fort;

But in your Majesty's case, it is heroes who make the times.

The national war is decided by your majesty's thoughts, and thousands of tigers open up territory for your majesty. The ebb and flow of tides are all controlled by your majesty's thoughts. "

Emperor Yan pointed his finger at Wei Zhonghe who was waiting next to him.

Road:

"study."

Wei Zhonghe immediately smiled and said, "The minion has been learning."

"Zheng Fan, I'll be with you now. Tell me how difficult it is to fight at Nanguan in this town."

"In response to your Majesty, Zhennan Pass has a towering city wall and a large number of troops stationed there. Chu people are also earnestly operating. It is really difficult to break through Zhennan Pass."

"It's difficult, but you promised me by slapping my chest."

"In response to your majesty, the minister has always despised the enemy strategically and valued the enemy tactically."

Emperor Yan tasted these words carefully and nodded slowly, "Something interesting."

"So that your Majesty knows that Zhennan Pass is like a thorn in the throat. If you don't pull out this thorn, it will be difficult for Jin to be safe."

"I know the importance of Zhennan Pass, but I know better that there is no wall that cannot be conquered in this world. I believe you can do it, and I believe that no mirror can do it.

You are fighting on the front lines,

What i can do,

Just sit in the capital to protect you from worries. "

"The minister must do his best to die without hesitation!"

"Come, tell me in detail, what kind of customs are the regent king of the Chu Kingdom and the official of the Qian Kingdom?"

Uncle Zheng finally understood that Emperor Yan allowed himself to stay. He said that Zhennan Pass was just a casual mention. The real reason was that Emperor Yan wanted to understand his two colleagues through his own understanding.

"Your Majesty, which one will you talk about first?"

"The official of Qianguo, I heard that he is good at raising one's health?"

"In response to your majesty, the official of Qianguo is indeed very good at self-cultivation. He should have practiced some spit-na meditation methods. When the minister saw him, he was wearing a Taoist robe and was half-open."

"What is his personality? How about comparing with Zhen?"

"The minister is terrified."

"You can speak frankly, I forgive you for not guilty, don't ask mother-in-law, tell the truth."

"Yes, the minister believes that the official of the Qianguo is a master of mind, and his person is extremely clever in terms of character and means. Compared with your majesty, the minister feels that he lacks your majesty's vision and Bold.

Your Majesty is the hero of the foundation of all generations, and he is Shoucheng Mingjun. "

"Then, what about the regent of Chu State?"

"Back to your Majesty, he is young."

As an emperor, the regent of Chu is undoubtedly young.

Moreover, the regent of Chu also has a spirit around him, which means that the regent of Chu himself is a cultivator.

Yan Huangpin smacked these two words,

Let out a sigh.

young,

If he can be young for another ten years,

If Li Liangting is also flourishing,

This world,

How difficult is it to completely flatten?

"I see, you can withdraw, the day after tomorrow, you can leave Beijing and go back."

"The minister follows the decree."

"Do things well, I am a worthy minister."

"The minister understands."

When coming out of the palace, Zheng Fan found Father Zhang's carriage waiting at the gate of the palace.

After Ji Laoliu left the Imperial Study Room, he went to the household department, and the carriage was temporarily out of use.

In fact, this carriage also meant that all the masters who were protecting the carriage nearby were also ready. After all, Zheng Fan knew that Ji Laoliu was not inferior to himself in the matter of saving his life.

After Uncle Zheng got in the car, Grandpa Zhang asked diligently:

"Uncle, are you going back to the house?"

"Prince Jin's Mansion."

Grandpa Zhang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said: "The slave knows."

in fact,

The last time I went to see the Three Princes, Uncle Zheng planned to go to the Prince Jin’s Mansion to see, but who told me to have a Juggernaut sitting next to him.

Right now, just as Ji Lao Liu's master was guarding himself by the side, he was able to watch it safely.

They are all old acquaintances. After I enter Beijing, I have to pay a visit.

King Jin’s Mansion is located on Dongsan Street. On the west side, is the inspectorate Siyamen, and on the east side, is the Yinyamen of Yanjing Mansion. It can be said to be heavily guarded.

Of course, apart from this, Emperor Yan did not treat King Jin's family harshly. At this point, Emperor Yan has always been grandiose.

There are hundreds of servants in King Jin's Mansion, and they are supported by Dayan Neiku every year, so they can maintain a luxurious life without a problem.

In addition to the need for King Jin to show his face in a formal attire during the holidays, Emperor Yan did not deliberately issue an edict to announce that he would enter the palace.

The gate of Prince Jin's Mansion was very angry, and there were many guards in front of it.

When Father Zhang drove the carriage to the gate of the palace, a platoon of soldiers immediately came down and surrounded the carriage.

King Jin was originally under house arrest in the mansion, giving you glory and wealth, but it is impossible to give you freedom, and no one in Yanjing will come to visit him.

Even Your Majesty would not treat him as a monkey, and gave the most basic face. Even if the other princes and ministers want to show off their power, how can they have the courage?

When Uncle Zheng got out of the carriage,

The surrounding soldiers knelt together:

"See Uncle Hirano!"

"See Uncle Hirano!"

This golden armor is indeed highly recognizable.

Today, because he wants to enter the palace, Uncle Zheng is still wearing gold armor.

"Ben Bo, just came out of the palace."

Uncle Zheng has already gained experience in the matter of playing tiger skins. He just came out of the palace, but he didn't have an order to see King Jin's family, but the meaning is actually the same.

In Jindi, Uncle Zheng is used to it. In Yanjing, he actually didn't constrain much. The reason is that he can live in strange goods, can fight and do things, and is arrogant and arrogant.

Even if this matter was known to Emperor Yan, he would not take it seriously. When he is using himself, nothing counts;

And when I really want to pinch you,

Even if you bathe and burn incense at home and pray every day for the Emperor Yan to live a long life and happiness, you can be cured of the sin of cursing the emperor.

Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers retreated immediately, and the leader of the school lieutenant immediately ordered his subordinates,

"Open the door!"

The gate of the house was opened.

But the school lieutenant stepped forward, kicked his men, and cursed again.

The gate of the mansion was closed again, and then the main gate was opened.

The side door opened earlier.

"Uncle, please."

Zheng Fan smiled and shook his head, but got out of the carriage without letting the carriage in directly through the front door.

In King Jin’s Mansion, flowers and plants are flourishing, and the garden is well maintained.

A group of servants were rushed over because of the sound of opening the door.

"Thank you to report to His Royal Highness King Jin and say that your old friend is visiting."

...

Uncle Zheng was placed in the living room by the servants of the Jin Dynasty and served tea.

Waited a while,

I noticed the sound of footsteps outside the hall,

But coming in,

It was not Jin Wang Yu Ciming, but the Queen Mother of Jin in a red dress.

Uncle Zheng immediately got up and saluted:

"I have seen the Queen Mother."

"I heard someone say that a Jinjia general came to the mansion, and the Aijia guessed who it was. Without looking at it, it turned out to be Uncle Hirano."

"Queen dowager, where is His Royal Highness King Jin?"

It makes no sense to let a woman come to treat guests.

"Unfortunately, yesterday was the day of offering sacrifices to the Taimiao. The prince needs to serve his ancestors behind closed doors for three days."

"It's a coincidence."

"..." Queen Mother.

Uncle Zheng sat down again and asked, "Queen dowager, how was your time in Beijing?"

"The days have been very good. Your Majesty has given us enough decent."

"Ok."

Zheng Fan nodded and looked around. He knew that there must be a lot of Secret Agents in this mansion, so it was inconvenient to say some things.

scene,

It also took advantage of the trend to cool down.

The Queen Mother broke the silence and said; "The Aijia must also thank Uncle Hirano for helping me expel the savages from the Jin area and freeing my people from the Jin area."

"This is what I should do."

then,

It was another awkward silence~lightnovelpub.net~ Queen Mother said:

"Uncle Hirano came this time, what he did..."

"Oh, I don't have many acquaintances in Beijing, and it's rare to come back once, just thinking about visiting."

"That's it, in fact, there are no guests in the palace on weekdays."

then,

Continue to be cold.

Uncle Zheng sat so uncomfortably that he could only get up and prepare to leave.

Seeing this, the queen mother also got up, ready to see each other.

She shouldn't have come out to meet guests, but Yu Ciming was still retreating in the prince's shrines and temples, and secondly, all the guests who could enter the prince's palace were not ordinary noble.

"Then, I will leave, and later I will send someone to send some specialties from Shanxi province."

"Thank you, Uncle."

"Is there anything the Queen Mother is missing? Ben can send it to you."

The queen mother's face suddenly flushed, and she hurriedly shook her head and said: "No need, no need, here, nothing is missing."

"Well."

Uncle Zheng walked out of Prince Jin's Mansion and sat back in the carriage.

"Tsk tut..."

This is boring.

Uncle Zheng felt unhappy in his heart.

"Uncle, go next?"

"Go home."

"Yes, uncle."

The carriage went out from Dongsan Street. At the junction of the street, it encountered another carriage. The one driving it was Father Zhang.

Lifting the curtain, the blind man got out of the carriage and got into Zheng Fan's carriage.

"Is the Lord going to Prince Jin's Mansion?"

"Well, go and see, how about you?"

"The subordinate is going to see the old man."

"Oh, yes, you still have an old man in Beijing."

"Do you want to go with your subordinates?"

"Go and see, it's also an old friend."

"By the way, Lord, haven't you asked about the result of the Royal Study Room today?"

Uncle Zheng smiled.

Tao;

"Ready to fight."
