The chaos in Jin's capital was calmed down after dawn. To be precise, except for the fact that Yu Huacheng led nearly two thousand Jin troops to try to turn the tide and create some trouble for the Yan army by "doing their best to obey fate". , after Yu Huacheng was beheaded by Liang Cheng, the Yan army was left with the main task of clearing out the defeated troops and stabilizing the situation.
A big country that has existed almost side by side with Yan for almost a year, the word "Jin", after experiencing many ups and downs, was completely trampled into the muddy sewage.
After this night, even if the Emperor of Jin is still there, even if the Queen Mother is still there, the two words "Da Jin" will completely lose their color.
This is not like the kind of time when a dynasty fell, and countless martyrs emerged, and how many people were worried about the previous dynasty and did not hesitate to rebel one after another, because the Jin royal family, in the previous decades, actually It has long been ignored by the three major families, and it has been exhausted. It only maintains a shelf. Now, there is no need for this shelf to continue to exist.
Zheng Fan and the Queen Mother sat together for half the night;
Until the sky turned white, Zheng Fan stretched his waist, looked at the Queen Mother who had not slept, and couldn't help but said curiously:
"Queen Mother, can you hold it in so well?"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she glared at Zheng Fan angrily.
Not to mention, the relationship between the two has become much more harmonious after last night. Normally, the Queen Mother has to put on an airs to maintain her image of being calm and self-reliant, but with Zheng Fan, a rogue and a scoundrel, In front of the arrogant Zi, she knew that all these were useless. She had been wearing the mask for too long and it was torn to pieces last night. On the contrary, she was able to get used to seeing people with her true face.
"Okay, is there a spittoon in the room? Is it the thing you can pee at at night?"
Zheng Fan gestured with his fingers.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was silent, Zheng Fan shook his head and said:
"Toilet? Gong bucket? Clean bucket? Night scent bucket?"
The Queen Mother remained silent.
"What do you Jin people call that thing? Forget it, you can figure it out yourself."
At this time, Siniang came over.
"My lord."
"Are they okay?" Zheng Fan stepped forward and grabbed Siniang's hand and asked.
The Queen Mother looked at Zheng Fan holding the hand of a fair and tender soldier, frowning slightly, but she soon felt relieved.
Just like your father smokes and your grandfather smokes, or your father drinks and your grandfather drinks, you won’t think that smoking and drinking are a big deal.
Due to the influence of Jin's customs, the nobles of Jin were very receptive to this hobby.
"A Cheng was slightly injured trying to kill Yu Huacheng, but the others are fine."
"That's good, that's good."
Si Niang cast her eyes on the Queen Mother. After seeing the Queen Mother's handsome appearance, Si Niang covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Haha, my lord, is the slave family going to have another sister?"
"General Zheng, the Marquis has been sent to the palace. "A soldier reported the report outside.
Sent to the palace?
Zheng Fan immediately understood the meaning and said to Siniang:
"You look at her. "
Immediately, Zheng Fan said to the Queen Mother again:
"She is a woman, don't be embarrassed, right? ”
The Queen Mother looked at Siniang in surprise: Woman?
Outside, there were Jingnan Army soldiers surrounding her, and inside, Siniang was guarding her. Zheng Fan believed that the Queen Mother There could be no accident.
After saying that, Zheng Fan hurried out of the palace. While getting on his horse, he asked the soldier who came to report earlier:
"Master Hou is here. where? "
"I just entered the palace from the south gate. "
" Got it. ”
Zheng Fan rode his horse towards the palace gate. The palace where the Queen Mother lived was considered the end of the Jin Palace. If he went from here to the main entrance, he should be able to meet her on the road.
In fact, the Imperial Palace of the Jin Dynasty was not very big. The reason was that the outer city of the original palace had become residential buildings, which greatly reduced the area of the palace to a certain extent, which was similar to the Forbidden City in later generations.
In the small square in front of the Zhenghe Hall, Zheng Fan saw the team escorting the Marquis of Jingnan, led by Ren Juan himself. There were hundreds of soldiers around, and in the center was a brave. A man could be seen leaning against it. On Pixiu’s back
“Master Hou! ! ! ”
Of course Zheng Fan knew why Jingnan Hou stayed alone in the suburbs last night, and during the entire offensive last night, there was no news from the Jin Sword Master. This is enough to show that the Sword Master is looking for
“Master Hou, Master Hou! "
Zheng Fan got off his horse and ran over there. He was just about to do a set of "falling down" followed by "getting up" followed by "falling down" followed by "getting up" followed by "choking" An action with a difficulty level of 3.7,
Unexpectedly, Marquis Jingnan on Pixiu suddenly raised his head and looked at Zheng Fan running over.
Huh? ?
Zheng Fan subconsciously slowed down,
Not dying?
Not vomiting blood?
Jingnan Hou said:
"Are you in a hurry to mourn me? "
"No, this..."
Zheng Fan was a little embarrassed.
When he first heard the news, he really thought that Marquis Jingnan had been killed by a sword. The saint was seriously injured and almost killed.
The biggest difference between a warrior and a swordsman is that a warrior can "bathe" in a sea of soldiers, but a swordsman is invincible in a single fight.
Looking at Jingnanhou’s current appearance, doesn’t it mean that he has defeated the Sword Master?
For a moment, Zheng Fan didn’t know how to describe Jingnanhou. His fighting ability was comparable to that of a soldier? God doesn’t say it, but his personal strength is so strong. If he didn’t have the stain of destroying his whole family...
"Ren Juan. ”
“Master Hou, the last generalexist! "
"For the next thing, you assist Zheng Chengshou. ”
Next, it’s natural to make money.
The Yan State does not plan to send troops to stop in the capital of Jin State, because the new land over there has not been fully digested. There is no need to bite off more than you can chew. At the same time, there needs to be a small buffer zone between the Yan State and the Situ Family. The Yan State can just keep Xinsu City as the boundary.
But the wealth here is enough. , must not be let go, Zheng Fan needs money, Jingnan Marquis also needs it, along with weapons, encouragement before the war, rewards after the war, and maintenance of rule on weekdays, this money can be said to be spent like water.
"I will obey your orders!" ”
This job fell to Zheng Fan.
Of course, Zheng Fan is just an intermediary, and he will definitely subcontract this job in the future.< /p>
Furthermore, Zheng Fan believed that Siniang and the blind man would be more skilled in keeping accounts and hiding their pockets after practicing in Chuzhou City last time.
I don’t believe it. No matter how versatile Tian Wujing is, can he still hold the title of senior accountant?
"Master Hou, please go and rest first, we will eventually hire the best doctor here. "Ren Juan reminded.
Jingnan Marquis did not speak.
Ren Juan silently signaled the team to continue moving forward, and Zhenghe Palace was just ahead.
Just as the team was moving forward again, Zheng Fan couldn't help but said to Ren Juan:
"Sir Ren, is it inappropriate for the Marquis to go to Zhenghe Hall to rest? ”
The Zhenghe Hall is located on the central axis of the Jin Palace. The hall is not large and is not a place for court meetings. However, it is the place where the Jin Emperor and his close ministers held small meetings. It also served as the imperial study room.
When Ren Juan heard this, he immediately stared at Zheng Fan.
"Ren Juan. "
Jingnan Hou spoke.
"Master Hou? "
"Although I just had a fight with the Jin Sword Master, I can still do it by twisting your head off now. ”
“Master Marquis, if you want to cut off the head, I will personally cut it off and deliver it to you!” It was the general who was negligent. ”
Jingnanhou closed his eyes, and he didn’t know whether it was because of the injury or because he didn’t want to talk.
Ren Juan could only wave his hand, indicating that the team changed direction and went to the west side
Zheng Fan continued to follow. After Jingnan Hou was settled, he waved his hand and said:
"You all go and do your work. I will take care of myself. "
Everyone then retreated.
When they walked outside, Ren Juan looked at Zheng Fan and said:
"I was negligent just now. Thank you very much. Zheng Chengshou reminded. "
Zheng Fan immediately raised his hands and saluted and responded:
" Sir Ren has been exhausted after a night of fighting, and it is understandable that he is not thinking well due to lack of energy. ”
“Haha, actually, it’s not a big deal at all, is it? "
Zheng Fan heard the hidden meaning in Ren Juan’s words.
A general who can become the commander-in-chief may have some special personalities and hobbies, but he will never be a fool.
The Zhenghe Hall is a place that can only be used by the emperor of Jin. It has a strong symbolic meaning of imperial power. After the Marquis of Jingnan moves in, once this matter spreads to Yanjing, interested people will definitely take it. Make a fuss.
If it were in the past, Marquis Jingnan would have stayed there. Zheng Fan felt that even if Emperor Yan knew about it, he would smile and ask Marquis Jingnan in the future, would you like to sit on my dragon chair and see? Compare it with Jinhuang’s one, which one is more comfortable?
Originally, this was not a big deal.
Because the relationship between the two princes and Emperor Yan is really the kind of porcelain that is difficult for outsiders to understand.
But yesterday Jingnanhou hinted to himself that there might be something wrong with Emperor Yan’s body.
Once this guess is true,
then a The emperor in his prime and the emperor with physical problems are definitely two completely different creatures.
However, Ren Juan did not deliberately trick the Marquis of Jingnan, but whether he was in the Zhenbei Army or the Jingnan Army, even if the two Marquises were "wholeheartedly serving the public", the people under him, the General Soldier, We, guerrillas, who don’t want to be a follower of the dragon?
"Haha, I originally thought that the Marquis appreciated and supported Zheng Chengshou so much. Zheng Chengshou should be his own talent."
Zheng Fan immediately responded:
p>"Sir, it is precisely because he is one of our own that the last general has to remind him."
"What do you mean?"
At Ren Juan's signal, the surrounding people All the soldiers had dispersed, so there was no need to worry about anyone eavesdropping.
"What is the purpose of doing this? Is it to test the Marquis's mind, or do you want to prove your own thoughts to the Marquis?"
"Continue." Ren Juan looked at Zheng Fan.
"Your Excellency, you should know what kind of person the Marquis is. It is not an exaggeration to describe the Marquis as someone who is loyal to the country and the pillar of the country.
My lord, no. Will you resist!"
"That's it?"
"The test you just made, Master Hou is really capable of killing people."
"Oh, I'm not afraid of death."
"But it's not worth it."
"Oh, what's the point?"
< p>"Sir, this is how you should do it. This is a great contribution. Why do you think about eating alone? Besides, can you eat it alone?""What should I do?"
p>"Don't be impatient, sir. Please wait and listen to what I have to say. If you do this alone, for the sake of the country, the Marquis will definitely kill you as a warning to others.
After all, sir Although you are the commander-in-chief, I, Dayan, will not collapse without you as the commander-in-chief."
"..." Ren Juan.
"Sir, these thoughts, these thoughtsThoughts, you should bury it in your heart first and don't show it casually. This is a big deal, not about marriage. All kinds of etiquette should be followed step by step.
Your Excellency, you can take your time to contact other commander-in-chiefs and guerrilla generals of the Jingnan Army in the next time. You must contact trustworthy people, and then let them contact you from your own command. Guerrilla generals guard the city and many backbone captains.
After the contact is completed, choose a suitable opportunity, a suitable time, and a suitable place.
We have thousands of tired troops here, what use can they do?
At least the main force of the Jingnan Army must be with the Marquis. "
"Tell me quickly, what will you do after contacting me? "
Zheng Fan took a deep breath,
and said:
"Everyone rushed forward and put a dragon robe directly on the Marquis. Many guerrilla soldiers and thousands of Jingnan soldiers knelt down and shouted in unison:
Long live my emperor! ”
