"I advise you to take out your heart, lungs and intestines, dry them, wash them and tidy them up! It is becoming clearer to me now that the trouble on my mind is not outside, not the barbarians, but You, in this room!"
"I am guilty, I am waiting for death!"
In the main hall, everyone from the prime minister to the ordinary civil and military officials are here! Kneel on the ground.
Yan Emperor Ji Runhao was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the kneeling crowd of civil and military officials below. In his heart, he did not feel the sense of accomplishment at all as a ninth-five-year-old man.
This position belongs to that family;
This position belongs to that family;
And this position has always belonged to whose family.
His court, his civil and military affairs are not arranged according to what he wants, but are inherent to the various powerful families in the past hundred years.
Occasionally there are back and forth, and occasionally there is strife.
It’s nothing more than one family getting better than another.
Official positions, the most important weapon of the country, are like Stalls at the wet market.
My grandfather sold vegetables here, and my father also sold vegetables here, so of course I should sell vegetables here too!
Even if I know the distribution of the dishes, I still have to occupy this stall.
It is a joke among the peasant uncles on the ground that the emperor can eat ten big oily pancakes in the morning;
But in the court of the Emperor of Yan State, and the peasant uncle There is really no essential difference between the markets that I go to every day.
Although Ji Runhao has promoted many ministers from poor families since he succeeded to the throne, they are still far from being successful. Compared with the powerful clans, they are far behind.
However, at any rate, everyone is still pursuing a sense of ritual.
The one on the dragon throne got angry,
The one under the dragon throne who should kneel down immediately knelt down,
Everyone asked for forgiveness calmly,
Finish the drama today.
Of course, the emperor's anger today is also due to his original reasons. In recent years, the conflict between the imperial court and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion has become almost intense.
But with the issuance of the sinner edict, this originally turbulent situation is being broken. Soon, the antagonistic relationship between the central government and local powerful vassals will be brought to the surface. .
Once it is placed on the table, there is no way to continue to reconcile it.
The Sinner's Edict is the letter of war issued by Emperor Yan to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
For this reason,
in the past two days,
the ministers in the court quickly became active, representing their respective families to put pressure on the emperor.
It is said that the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is the pillar of the northern frontier of the empire and cannot be lightly touched;
It is said that the 300,000 Zhenbei Army is the foundation for the survival of the Yan Dynasty;
p>
There are those who say that the move to cut down vassal vassals will shake the foundation of the country;
In short,
Because of the emperor’s edict of sin, the ministers had to stand up immediatelyLater, he became a conservative who opposed the reduction of vassalage.
But only Ji Runhao knew that
These people,
were all willing to see him attack the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
If the prosperity of the aristocratic family is excluded, then the Beihou Mansion in Beifeng County is undoubtedly the first aristocratic family in Dayan!
It is normal for the emperor to want to reduce his vassal status, and the ministers and the aristocratic families behind them can also understand;
After all, as long as the emperor is not stupid, he will definitely want to reduce his vassal status Centralization of power and supremacy are the lifelong pursuit of every emperor.
Since it is necessary to cut it, then the emperor goes to gnaw the hardest bone of the Zhenbeihou Mansion. This is naturally what everyone is most happy to see happen.
Because it is hard, because it is not easy to chew. Then, Emperor, please go and grind it yourself.
But things are different now. The emperor is determined to tear open that fig leaf!
Once the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is completely cornered,
Will the 300,000 Zhenbei Army be easy to deal with?
Beifeng County is only such a big place, and it borders the desert. It really doesn’t have much oil and water.
But once the 300,000 cavalry are released, can the six counties of Lesha, Tiancheng, Xiahu, Sanshi, Huwei and Yinlang escape?
The foundation of the clan is not in the court. The court is only their spokesperson. Their foundation is in the place.
And once the local weapons come together, who knows who you are?
At that time, without the suppression of the Zhenbei Houfu, the barbarians follow suit and come in again, well, the Yan Kingdom will be completely reduced to a pot of porridge.
Although the Qian Kingdom is not doing well outside, and the Jin Kingdom is also in internal strife, this does not mean that the emperor of the Qian Kingdom and the wealthy families of the Jin Kingdom are really willing to give up this good situation and take advantage of the Yan Kingdom. It’s such a mess and don’t do something about it.
In short,
You can’t fight, you must not fight!
“The Zhenbei Army has troops from six towns, three of which have already been deployed.
One town is stationed in Tongcheng at the junction of Beifeng County and Lesha County; Liangcheng at the junction of Beifeng County and Sanshi County; one town is stationed in the border city at the junction of Beifeng County and Xiahu County.
What is the intention of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion? I think you all should. It’s clear.
This is forcing me to retreat, this is waving a knife in front of my eyes, asking me, are you afraid?”
Ji Runhao stood up from the dragon chair,
continued to say loudly:
"We, the Great Yan, have never had the difficulty of establishing and defending our country!
< p>Among the emperors of the Yan Dynasty, there are very few who have not conquered the country personally, and even three of them died in battle!I know what you are worried about, and I also understand what you are worried about, but at the moment, It is no longer time to cover your eyes and pretend that nothing happened.
Tomorrow, once the 150,000 Zhenbei Army cavalry move south, the three counties of Lesha, Sanshi and Xiahu will be destroyed. , can be strongHow long?
If the Zhenbei Hou Mansion really dares to be more bold and leave the desert barbarians alone, or even directly borrow troops from the barbarian royal court, then hundreds of thousands of cavalry can march straight in, and it won't take long. If you can reach Tiancheng County, you can reach the capital!
You are now persuading me to take a step back, but have you ever thought about what would happen if I retreated and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion did not retreat?
Have you ever thought about it,
I am the emperor who talks better, I, the Ji family, talk better,
It is the cavalry swordsmen of Zhenbei Hou Mansion who talk better ? "
The ministers below did not dare to speak. They could only bury their heads lower and lower.
"That's all for what I said. Yesterday, the eldest prince Ji Wujiang was ordered to lead the troops of Tiancheng County to the Shishan Camp;
The garrisons of Huwei County and Yinlang County also received my order yesterday and began to mobilize to the capital, and the Forbidden Army in Beijing has also been ordered to prepare for war. .
I give you half a month,
Within half a month,
I want to see your attitude!
For hundreds of years, the emperors of our Ji family have always used the imperial army as the main force in their expeditions, supplemented by tribes of various ethnic groups. After many hardships, they have been able to protect the Yan Kingdom Zuo to this day;
< p>I don’t want to hear the rest of the words of persuasion anymore, I have made up my mind;As long as Fanna Zhenbei Hou Mansion and Fanna Zhenbei Army dare to make any changes again,
Look directly at the conspiracy! "
After finishing speaking,
Ji Runhao waved and turned around,
"Retreat! "
…………
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is waiting at the Yangxin Hall. "
"You will send someone to tell him later, let him pay more attention to the Imperial Army, and stop running to me to ask for instructions. He is no longer a child. ”
“This slave obeys the order. "
"Change. ”
“Where Your Majesty is going to leave the palace, I will arrange it for you. ”
“West Garden. ”
…………
The West Garden was built during the reign of the late emperor.
When the late emperor was old, he lamented the inconvenience of living in Beijing, so he decided to He sent an envoy to the State of Qian and said that he was envious of the Jiangnan gardens of the State of Qian.
In order to establish diplomatic relations, the Emperor of the State of Qian ordered his Minister of Industry to lead a group of skilled craftsmen to the State of Yan to help the State of Yan build it.
The Qian Kingdom even used this as propaganda, saying that the barbarians of the Yan people loved the culture of the Qian Kingdom, and the emperor of the Qian Kingdom was kind and sent people to build a garden for them, which brought the Yan people to the west. But I was so happy that they were all country bumpkins who had never seen the world.
However, most people in the Qian Kingdom did not know that there was an extra piece of silver in the annual tribute given to the Yan Kingdom by the Qian Kingdom. The pen is the capital to build the garden.
The late emperor died in this West Garden, but Ji Runhao did not like the small bridges and flowing water in the West Garden and basically never lived there.
p>It’s just that when the man from the north comesAfter the guest entered the capital, Ji Runhao ordered him to stay in the West Garden.
When Ji Runhao and Wei Zhonghe first walked into the front hall of the West Garden, they smelled the aroma of wine and meat.
In the courtyard,
a man over fifty with white temples was sitting at the stone table.
At his feet, there were five large Jars of wine and more than ten plates of hard dishes were placed on the table, ranging from chicken, duck, fish, to pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep.
After seeing this, Ji Runhao took off his cloak and threw it to Wei Zhonghe next to him, while he walked in while adjusting his cuffs.
At the same time He scolded:
"You have a good appetite."
Zhenbei Hou saw Ji Runhao coming,
smiled,
He didn’t even get up.
He just sat like that and said directly:
“It’s true that I have lived in the Hou Mansion for too long with clear soup and little water. How do I eat this meat and wine? I can’t eat enough, and the food in the north is also rough. How can it compare with the skills of the imperial chefs in the restaurants in the capital?"
As he said that, the Marquis of Zhenbei tore off a stick himself. The duck legs were handed directly to Ji Runhao.
Ji Runhao didn’t dislike it, reached out to take it, and took a big bite after sitting down.
Zhenbei Hou stood up, poured a glass of wine into the wine bowl in front of Ji Runhao, and asked at the same time:
"Did you curse?"
Ji Runhao heard this He said, not caring that there was still duck meat in his mouth. He held the duck leg in one hand and pointed at Zhenbei Hou with the other hand.
He cursed:
"These gangs Beast, I have just gone to court, and someone has sent you a message?”
“Isn’t it right? This message must be sent as early as possible, and this goodwill must be sent as early as possible. You deliberately use the city defense camp. The soldiers came to station in Xiyuan instead of the imperial army. Isn't it just convenient for them to deliver letters to me?
There is also a large box of letters in my toilet. Every house has them, and they use good paper. , Hey, I have been thinking about wiping it for a long time, and I can get some more scholarly scent down there.
If you want to see, go to my latrine and pull it out yourself, there are still a lot of useless things. "I passed."
Ji Runhao swallowed the duck meat in his mouth, picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip,
said:
"I'm just here. Don’t look at it, I don’t like it, it smells bad!”
“Oh, there is really no need to look at it, anyway, in the end, it will be thrown into the pit.”
After eating the duck legs,
Ji Runhao picked up the chopsticks, brought a plate of fish in front of him, and started eating on his own.
Not to be outdone, the Marquis of Zhenbei picked up a basin of elbows and put it in front of him, chewing on it while cursing:
"If the people of Qian country see your eating, you may be blamed. When I get back, I have to say that the Emperor of Yan is so poor that he can’t even afford to eat!”
“Mom, it’s great to eat with you!”
“Hahaha! , also, when we were young, we fought over a chicken leg, whoWhoever wins eats it, the taste of the chicken legs is so damn delicious;
I still can’t forget it now. "
"I was really crazy at first, and I actually competed with you to see who could eat more. "
"Hahahaha, who calls you stupid? I grew up in the north and ate the same food as the big-headed soldiers. Now that I have entered your palace, my eyes will go blank when I look at the food. The green light is on, and you actually compete with me, hahaha! ”
“Come on, let’s go.” ”
“Okay, let’s go.” ”
The emperor and Zhenbeihou picked up the wine bowls together and touched one bowl.
Zhenbeihou pressed down the mouth of the bowl, and the emperor also pressed down the mouth of the bowl, making it flush with the ground. Banged.
Then he drank it all in one gulp,
while wiping his mouth with his sleeve in an awkward manner.
"Shu Lan's fiftieth birthday. I can't let you stay with Shulan. When I meet Shulan in the future, she may scold me. ”
“Hey, Shulan Xianhui will understand. "
"Of course I know she is virtuous! "
After two large bowls of wine, Ji Runhao's mood was obviously a little high, and he continued:
"If you hadn't been so shameless back then, how could Shu Lan have followed you here? Have you been exposed to sandstorms in the north for most of your life? "
"Get out! Shulan and I are right. In my life, I am the only woman named Shulan. What about you? "
"I did it for the future of the royal family. I had no choice but to..."
"Yes, yes, don't talk about yourself being so great. So helpless, I didn’t see you feeling so guilty when you took off your pants, and I didn’t see you feeling so melancholy when you were comfortable.
I said,
Can the work be done even when you are forced, helpless and unwilling?
The emperor is worthy of being an emperor, I admire this! "
"..." Ji Runhao.
"Ahhhhh! "
Ji Runhao shouted,
picked up the wine jar and started to pour wine for himself.
Then, he slapped the wine jar on the table,
p>
Pointing at Zhenbei Hou and scolding:
“You bastard, you deliberately stab Shulan in front of me every time! "
"I said, Ji Runhao, don't just drink some horse urine and accuse people unjustly. Who the hell brought up Shu Lan first this time? "
"It's you, it's you, it's you! "
"......" Zhenbei Hou.
"However, Qian girl looks exactly like Shu Lan. She is exactly the same as Shu Lan when she was young. "
Zhenbei Hou immediately stood up,
pointed his finger at Ji Runhao,
and cursed:
"You are such a shameless thing. Have you ever said that to your daughter-in-law and your father-in-law? "
"Bah, Qian Yatou is my daughter-in-law. My son wants to marry your daughter. I am happy, I am happy. From now on, Qian Yatou's children will have my surname Ji, not Li!”
“Don’t think that I don’t know about the bad things in your royal family. How rare are they in the past? "
" Damn it, I won't let you take advantage of me. You don't want me to call you daddy! "
"What are you calling me? "
"..." Ji Runhao.
Ji Runhao held back his words.
Zhenbei Hou sat down with some disappointment.
“To be honest, I really don’t want my girl to marry into the royal family. ”
“As long as Qian Yatou gives birth to an emperor’s grandson, I will make him the emperor’s grandson. If I live long enough to live until the emperor’s grandson reaches adulthood, I can directly let the emperor’s grandson succeed me.” ! "
"Oh, I'm not worried about my girl being bullied in the palace. "
"Then what are you worried about? "
"I am worried that after you die, your old Ji family will be bullied by Qian Yatou. "
"..." Ji Runhao.
"Your second son is an honest person. He may not be so honest, but even if he is not honest, among your children, , and also the most honest one.
Girl Qian, like Shu Lan when she was young, is naturally smart and thoughtful;
But unlike her mother, she has been taken by me to kill barbarians since she was a child. .
In case, I say just in case, just in case one day;
You are gone, your second son has ascended the throne, your second son is gone again..."
"..." Ji Runhao
"Tsk, tsk, you princes and nobles of the Ji family, don't be slaughtered by Qian. If that's the case, we are here. Drinking in the underworld, I still feel a little sorry for you. "
After hearing this, Ji Runhao was not angry at all.
He said directly:
"The gang of drunkards from the clan are still alive. It's just a waste of rice and food. I can't kill them, but Qian girl can kill them well, kill them well! ”
“You are really open-minded. "
"Haha, I chose the second child to be the future prince. I don't know what kind of virtue the second child has?
I chose Qian Yatou to be the Crown Princess. I don’t know what Qian Yatou is..."
"What is it? "
"What kind of tutor? "
"What happened to my Li family tutor! ”
“I didn’t say what was wrong, so you just glared at me and looked at me, you felt guilty first.” ”
“I didn’t! ”
“You have. ”
“I didn’t. ”
“You have it! "
"Okay, I have. "
"That's right. You and I can live for another ten or twenty years. Isn't that a problem?
When the two of us work together to do what we really want to do,
Give it to Dayan,
Give it to us Yan people,
< p>Lay a big piece of territory,Leave a big piece of land for your children and grandchildren.Foundation!
As long as your family has a big business, you are not afraid of what they did!
Take a step back and say, even if Qian girl really wants Si Chen and wants to be the queen of my Dayan, just do it!
The child in her belly is still my grandson. She can take it as her own. Finally, she has had enough playing. She is old. She can’t play anymore. She wants to take a rest. No. Do I have to return the government to my grandson? ”
Speaking of this,
Ji Runhao reached out and grabbed Zhenbei Hou’s hand.
Emperor Yan’s eyes were completely red.
p>“I can really look past anything and let go of anything.
The only thing I can’t let go of is one thing!
Hundreds of years,
Hundreds of years!
I, the Yan people, have been fighting barbarians for the entire East for hundreds of years!
If it were not for us, the Yan people, dying in the desert generation after generation, relying on the trash of the Three Kingdoms, they would have become slaves to the barbarians!
But even so, they still call me Yan people barbarians!
You know,
In their eyes,
I, the Yan people,
and the barbarians,
It's the same!
They are all barbarians, uncivilized savages! "
Hearing this, the Marquis of Zhenbei let Ji Runhao hold his hand, closed his eyes, nodded, and said:
"Yes, that's right. "
"I can't forget that a hundred years ago, the barbarian army went south to fight against me, Dayan!
The emperor of the Qian Kingdom actually dared to bring 500,000 troops to sneak attack on our empty rear of Dayan! ”
Hearing this, Zhenbeihou also gritted his teeth.
His family, the Zhenbeihou lineage, started from the battle that defeated the 500,000-strong army of the Qian Kingdom. The foundation has been laid!
"Liang Ting, do you still remember what we said when we were young? "
Zhenbei Hou nodded and responded:
"I remember. ”
…………
At that time,
Two ten-year-old boys,
for a chicken drumstick,
There was a fight just now
Ten-year-old Li Liangting was enjoying chicken drumsticks,
Ten-year-old Ji Runhao looked on admiringly with a bruised nose and face;
p>After a while,
Ji Runhao said:
"I heard from outsiders that the people of Qian country call us Yan people and Yan barbarians, just like we call barbarians. "
"Yes, I heard about it too. ”
“It’s okay for them to call us barbarians; in the future, when I become emperor, I want them to see how terrible real barbarians are;
I want them to Their emperors and princesses were all brought to the capital, locked up in a pigsty, and asked to dance, sing, and recite poems for me!
I want to trample everything they think they are right under my feet! "
"It's a pity, I can’t be the emperor. "
Li Liangting, who is ten years old and has just finished eating chicken legs, said fearlessly.
"Then you are really useless. If someone calls you a barbarian, you can't even take it back. ”十岁且刚刚被揍了一顿的姬润豪讽刺道。
十岁的还在舔着嘴角油花且还在回味着鸡腿美味的李梁亭听了，
He smacked his mouth in dissatisfaction,
trying hard to think of any way he could fight back,
thinking about it,
finally seemed to think of it
He said:
“My family has 300,000 soldiers. ”
