"Guanjia, the stitching here needs to be changed."
"No need, I think it's good."
"Guanjia, you have to call me, You have to change it."
"Haha, I'm afraid I won't be able to change it when I need to."
Zhao Yuannian took off his dragon robe and said, "Eunuch Zhao, it's better. Isn't it troublesome?"
Hearing this, Zhao Cheng immediately knelt down and said:
"Please give me a name from the official."
Zhao Cheng, Chu State. People;
When Zheng Fan entered Chu to snatch the princess, Zhao Cheng was kidnapped, and later he even brandished a knife from the palace and boarded this boat;
For a long time, he He was Xiong Liqing's true confidant in the palace. Later, when the prince moved into the palace, he replaced Little Eunuch Zhang as the prince's personal companion.
However, when Prince Ji Chuanye returned to the capital, Zhao Cheng, who could have been taken back with him, chose to refuse and continued to stay in the palace.
At present,
Fu Wang Zhao proclaimed himself emperor in Jinghai, Jiangnan in the first year of his reign.
It can also be called "supporting the emperor".
Zhao Chengcheng was arranged By Zhao Yuannian's side.
In these years, although Prince Fu’s Mansion was located in Fengxin City, there were servants and servants in the Prince’s Mansion but no eunuchs.
Originally, according to regulations, Prince Fu's Mansion was eligible to use eunuch quotas. For example, whether it was Prince Jin's Mansion in the capital or Prince Cheng's Mansion in Yingdu, there were eunuchs, and their salaries were also paid. The public middle school.
But because there are no eunuchs in the Prince Regent’s Palace,
So,
How can Prince Fu’s Palace, which is in the same city, dare to surpass the Prince Regent’s Palace in terms of expenses? Go up?
Of course, from another perspective...
If it is a coincidence that the prince brought Zhao Yuannian with him this time, then even the only one in the prince's palace The "eunuch" was also brought along, which really couldn't be explained by "coincidence" or "accidental intervention".
Everything has actually been planned by the prince for a long time.
"Give me a name?" Zhao Yuannian was stunned for a moment.
"How can a slave be worthy of the surname Zhao in front of the officials?"
It is not that there are no non-royal people with the surname Zhao in the Qian Kingdom, and there are many;
一This is because the three surnames Ji, Xiong, and Yu were originally Daxia clans before the Three Marquises opened the border. After the Sanhous opened the border, the Three Marquises established the country. Therefore, in Yan, Jin, and Chu, the distinction between the royal surnames is still very high. , if nothing else happens, people with these three surnames can all call themselves "blood of the Tian family", but some of them may have been lost to everyone for a long time.
Just like the Sword Master and his younger brother, life was extremely difficult for the two brothers when they were young, but they still had the national surname.
Secondly, the founding of the country by the Great Qian lineage was relatively late. Even though they made up their own history and came up with something like "the four princes opened their borders", the age was still not enough. No matter how tabooed it was by the Tian family, it would not Maybe someone with the original surname Zhao was asked to change their surname.
But no matter what,
As a eunuch,
it is really inappropriate to dare to bear the "surname Zhao" in front of officials.
However,
How could Zhao Yuannian dare to change his surname to Zhao Cheng?
He is extremely clear about where he came from as an official, and he also knows what his mission and role are;
Furthermore, although Zhao Cheng is an eunuch, But he entered the palace earlier than himself.
"Eunuch Zhao, you also know what my situation is. We are all from the palace, so we should stop worrying about these trivial matters.
You and I You should do your best and contribute to the prince's plan."
"I understand, I understand."
Zhao Cheng folded up the dragon robe on Zhao Yuannian and sent it to someone. In front of a woman behind the side screen;
The woman has a beautiful face and is especially good at female beauty kung fu. She is Zhao Cheng's sister and was named Zhao Xinniang by Xiong Liqing.
"Here, make some more changes, hurry up, the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China is about to begin." Zhao Cheng said.
"Sister knows, brother, don't worry."
Xin Niang took the dragon robe and began to trim it.
Immediately,
Zhao Cheng walked away first and brought tea to Zhao Yuannian.
Zhao Yuannian sat on a chair, holding tea in his hand, and said with a smile:
"A little nervous."
Zhao Cheng smiled slightly and said: " Officials will gradually get used to it."
"Eunuch Zhao, let me ask you, how long can I be an official?"
"Of course it will be a long time. , for generations to come." Zhao Cheng replied immediately.
"Hey, we are our own people, so what can't we say directly? I said, Eunuch Zhao, can you please stop acting like this and making me feel uncomfortable?
To put it bluntly, my life is saved by the relationship between my mother and the prince. My position is also due to the affection earned by my mother who brought up the prince. .
How can I really think about being a loner? If you continue to put a high hat on me like this, you really won’t be afraid of me drifting off, and then..."
Zhao Yuannian lowered his jaw. He slumped down, meaning, you know.
Zhao Chengze said: "The servants naturally understand what the officials mean, but have they ever thought about it? Since ancient times, sitting on this dragon chair may mean you can reach the sky in one step, and when you step back..."
Zhao Yuannian answered: "Sit up and step up your legs first; when you get down, turn around first."
"Does the official think he will be disloyal to the prince?"
"How is that possible?" Zhao Yuannian immediately denied, "In my whole life, I have been treated and obeyed by the prince from top to bottom. In addition, look at His Royal Highness...
Did you hear what Qianliju from the Xie family said that day?
What does this mean?
This is an admission. ”
The role of country, heir, and successor lies in this, and they can maintain the long-term stability of a group to a great extent.
Zhao Chengdao: "Since you, the official, will not have any second thoughts about the prince, why would the prince let the official, your head fall first?"
"This is natural."
Zhao Yuannian is very impressive;
He... is the person who was called sworn brother by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Although the relationship between his mother-in-law and the prince is well known to the world;
But Zhao Yuannian did not dare to call the prince his "father" or "adopted father" when he was outside. He didn't dare to call himself "brother" in front of the prince;
However, when the prince called him "sworn brother", the feeling was numb to the bones, making the whole person float to the clouds. Now that I think about it, I still feel... I feel a little carried away.
"Then when you step down from this dragon throne, you will either become the head of the country like the Emperor of Chu...or you will have your own vassal like the Prince Cheng's Mansion. Taking a step back, at least I can get a hereditary replacement like the Jin Palace.
And it’s not the hereditary replacement of King Fu, but... King Qian.”
The King of Fu and the King of Qian may seem the same, but in reality they are quite different. The status of King Qian is hereditary and can be grafted onto the inheritance of the entire Qian Kingdom. The difference is like a clan prince and a military meritorious prince.
"You still see it clearly." Zhao Yuannian praised.
"Actually, Guan Jia, you are just like Ming Jing in your heart." Zhao Cheng said with a smile.
Zhao Yuannian turned sideways and looked at Xin Niang who was modifying her dragon robe behind the screen.
"Let's get married." Zhao Yuannian said.
"Xin Niang must be married by the princess." Zhao Cheng reminded.
"I'll go and beg." Zhao Yuannian said.
"This..." Zhao Cheng was actually not very willing.
He cherishes this girl very much, so he naturally wants to find a good family. A good family here does not mean rich and powerful. At the very least, his girl should be a big wife, right?
Zhao Yuannian came back to his senses and laughed and scolded:
"Where are you thinking? I will ask my son to let my mother and concubine make peace."
"That slave, I would like to thank the official family for their kindness."
People nowadays generally give birth at an early age. It is common for a young master to have many female attendants around him. Applying the standards of later generations, he would have been a father when he was still a child. Examples abound.
So, although Princess Fu is not much older than Zheng Fan, she has already become a grandmother.
Of course, another reason here is that due to objective reasons, Zheng Fan had a hard time raising children, and it was relatively late.
Now, Zhao Yuannian is an "official family", and his sister will marry Zhao Yuannian's son, and she will be the crown princess...
Zhao Cheng feels that this is an excellent destination.
In fact, both he and Zhao Yuannian are very ambitious masters, but under the palace,Their ambition seems very pure;
Sometimes, limited ambition can ensure subjective initiative.
"Official, brother, the changes have been made."
Zhao Cheng came over immediately, took the dragon robe back, and served Zhao Yuannian to put it on.
This set of dragon robes was originally modified from the dried vassal robes carried by Zhao Yuannian. If you look closely, there are still many nondescript parts, but from a distance, it is indeed the style of the dragon robes worn by officials in the state of Qian.
After redressing, Zhao Yuannian took a deep breath and asked:
"How are the preparations outside?"
"The official's house will be here later, I will go there. Ask."
Zhao Cheng was about to go out, but he seemed to have thought of something again. He untied his red robe eunuch uniform, revealing the inner armor, and said:
"Official, my servant brings this inner armor. You can wear it inside."
He had not planned to take it out before, but when he thought of getting married, he took it out. Eunuch Zhao is extremely realistic.
Zhao Yuannian pursed his lips and took the inner armor that Zhao Cheng replaced without refusing.
Seeing that Zhao Cheng was coming to change his clothes again,
Zhao Yuannian immediately waved his hand and said: "You go outside and ask, I can do it myself."
"Yes."
Zhao Cheng ran out immediately.
In the pavilion in the outer courtyard, I saw the prince and the prince sitting face to face and talking.
Zhao Cheng immediately stopped and waited;
Obviously, the official matter behind was not important.
At least, in Zhao Cheng's view, it is far less important than the words between the prince and his son.
......
"Outside or here, which one do you choose?"
Zheng Fan asked his son.
Zheng Lin said: "I'll just stay here, too lazy to make room."
"I thought you preferred the scene outside."
"That's a more suitable position for you, dad."
Zheng Fan nodded, stood up, seemed to have thought of something again, and said:
"Oh, by the way, your mother I'll be here later."
"What!"
Zheng Lin's expression changed immediately.
Zheng Fan smiled, with an expression that said I know everything about you.
Zheng Lin's expression began to become gloomy;
It was not that he was angry at anyone, but that the originally expected scene of itchy hands was gradually going away from him, so he instinctively unhappy.
"Dad will take your mother out later." Zheng Fan said.
Zheng Lin's facial expression suddenly relaxed;
"Please stay with your godfather, blind man, and I will take him out too."
Zheng Lin stood up. Zi softened and leaned back on the chair.
"If you don't speak, do you disagree?"
"Agree." Zheng Lin said immediately.
"Oh, that means I don't agree."
"Thank you...Dad."
Zheng Fan smiled, waved his hands and said, "That's right."
The prince left the palace .
After seeing the prince leave, Zhao Chengcai approached His Royal Highness and asked:
"Your Highness, will you start on time?"
Zheng Lin nodded,
Dao:
"Yes."
......
The Yan Army, also known as the Yan-Chu Allied Army, is entering Ganna After entering Jinghai City, they did not continue to carry out any large-scale military operations;
Although they took advantage of the situation and captured several upstream and downstream buildings near Jinghai City as well as nearby county towns to expand their military influence, they did not Did not continue to go deep into the south of the Yangtze River.
This is mainly due to two reasons. From a military perspective, Zheng Fan personally brought 50,000 Jindong elites this time, plus 30,000 Chu troops, plus the Shanyue tribe servants recruited by the Xie family. There is an army of one hundred thousand.
But a hundred thousand troops is indeed enough for a city and a place, but for a region, it is not enough.
Splitting your troops to attack in four directions will only destroy your own strength. After all, half of the 100,000 troops are "friendly troops". When they are separated to cooperate, they have to beware of each other, five plus five. Less than ten;
If it is just for robbery and destruction, thus dividing one's local military advantages, it is really losing the watermelon and gaining sesame seeds.
The second is the political level. In the name of the regent of Dayan, the announcement of the new king of Zhao Yuannian's accession to the throne has a much greater influence than the army's four expeditions.
Today, the officials and gentry in Jinghai City, as well as many representatives of the wealthy families who came from other places in the south of the Yangtze River, gathered in a former emperor's palace outside Jinghai City to hold the enthronement ceremony;
In addition, Du Sheng, the commander of Anhai Town, will lead his troops to surrender.
At that time, Nian Yao led the Chu army to attack Qian and defeated Qian's army. In the end, it was Meng Gong who took command and was able to stop Nian Yao.
This general, who had fought against the regent in Mianzhou City more than ten years ago, was best at defensive operations. He even personally managed and established the towns of Yi'anhai, Menhai, and Dongru Town's defense system against Chu was called the Small Three Sides by Gan people.
It’s just that when the Yan army came in before, they took a detour and directly jumped over this line of defense.
From a military perspective, this is a big adventure, because your rear is within the range that the enemy can cut off;
The premise for daring to do this is that, Yan Jun has that self-confidence. As long as Gan Jun dares to come out of the military town, he will defeat him in the wild.
Judging from today's situation,
the new king has ascended the throne.
Although there are not many civil and military officials, they all have them, at least the most basic of this "pseudo court" Decentness has been initially achieved.
If... this is really the case.
……
On the high platform, the prince is sitting in a handsome seatSet.
Six Niang and the blind man separated their left and right sides.
With his current status, accepting the surrender of the commander-in-chief of Ganren is a great honor. Even a corporal of courtesy and virtue is not enough. He should be worth a thousand pieces of gold and a horse's bones.
Not far away,
Du Sheng came with 800 horsemen. His own troops and horses were camped twenty miles away from here.
However,
Commander Du came, but stopped when he approached.
Liu Hui stepped forward at this time and said: "Your Majesty, Commander Du may still have doubts, or maybe he still wants to... that point. Please go forward and persuade him to dispel his doubts."
Du Sheng was persuaded by Liu Hui to surrender. This was Liu Hui's first contribution in the "new dynasty", no, in front of the palace.
In Liu Hui's view, Du Sheng's move was a deliberate step for him to get on stage and perform the last part together, with everyone carrying the sedan chair.
Zheng Fan glanced at Liu Hui beside him, and
smiled;
I didn’t say he was allowed to go, and I didn’t say he was not allowed to go.
Xie Yuan next to him understood and stepped forward to ask Liu Hui:
"Master Liu."
"Here."
"You Here, let’s look at who is more distasteful, such as your subordinates. Do you think he might be dissatisfied with you or dissatisfied with the new court and still do what he did before?”
“The subordinates in humble positions are all loyal to the prince, and they are absolutely... ..."
Xie Yuan's eyes darkened;
Liu Hui opened his mouth and said: "Wang Le'an, he, there is a gap between him and me."
p>
Wang Le'an was the former deputy commander of Jinghai City. When Liu Hui opened the city gate to dedicate the city, he was guarded and detained by Liu Hui in advance. After the Yan army entered the city, Wang Le'an had no choice but to surrender, but he has been He was always cursing, and when he was drinking these past few days, he often scolded Liu Hui for committing adultery and reading sages' books in vain.
"Okay, then send him."
"Yes."
The military order is issued, and even Wang Lean who is standing below is not qualified to stand up to Wang Lean on the stage. Zi was a little dazed, but in an instant, ecstasy surged into his heart.
He scolded Liu Hui, mostly because you damn wanted to surrender to the Yan people. Why did you tie me up? It made me surrender now but I have no sense of existence at all;
Now, the opportunity to show his presence has come. Wang Lean thought that he might be famous and Jane was in the king's heart;
Or maybe the Yan people wanted to promote themselves to divide and balance Liu Hui .
Therefore, Wang Lean accepted the order happily.
Wang Le'an went,
Not long after,
Wang Le'an went;
His head was chopped off by Du Sheng, A personal guard was sent to the stage where the surrender ceremony was to take place.
Liu Hui was so frightened that his eyes widened and he felt a chill from his spine to his tailbone.
If the prince had allowed him to go before, now this head may be his.
After Du Sheng’s bodyguard sent his head back,
he also shouted:
“Yangou, are you bullying me into doing things with no one else!”
p>......
"Yangou, do you really think that I am bloodless?"
During the enthronement ceremony,
originally came to congratulate and Those who accepted the official positions include many local middle and low-level officials and students in Jinghai City, guards and worshipers from wealthy families who came from out of town to congratulate them, local powerful men, and sect leaders... all kinds of people. In this originally "solemn" ceremony, There were bursts of roars.
All of a sudden,
Three out of ten "ministers of the new dynasty who followed the dragon" in the hall drew their weapons.
Some of them are kung fu masters, but more than half of them don’t know kung fu, but this momentum is extremely majestic.
Immediately afterwards,
Many soldiers of the Qian Kingdom who had originally taken over from Jinghai City turned against them and sided with them.
Although many of the remaining cadres have no intention of rebelling against Yan, it is not realistic if you want them to fight to the death to protect the "new king" they have just met.
So in an instant,
in this palace,
the power of the loyal and righteous people completely overwhelmed the "loyal and righteous people".
On the day he "ascended to the throne", the originally "prosperous" situation was suddenly reversed, and Zhao Yuannian also lost his composure;
Wearing a dragon robe, he calmly followed He ran down from the dragon chair.
But at any rate, he was also someone who had been oppressed by the regent's army several times. He also marched with the regent. He had been doing things in eastern Shanxi these years, and at least he had developed a good foundation.
So even though I was panicking, I still remembered to run over and wanted to pull His Highness the Crown Prince to retreat together.
However,
Although Zhao Yuannian’s hand grabbed Zheng Lin’s wrist, he was unable to pull him. Instead, he staggered;
This kid has such great strength!
Zheng Lin turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yuannian who was lying on the ground.
For the sake of Princess Fu, Zheng Lin did not sneer at him. Instead, he suppressed a certain contempt for "all living beings are equal" in his body and squeezed out some of his own feelings. He thought his tone was quite gentle,
said:
"Don't be anxious."
...
"Don't panic."< /p>
Seeing Liu Hui's frightened look, the prince gave him a rare comfort.
In any case, Liu Hui's opening of the city did bring great convenience to the army.
At this time,
military reports continued to come in.
Not only Du Sheng’s soldiers and horses from Anhai Town stationed twenty miles away came out of the stronghold to come here. When the killing came, the troops from Menhai Town and Donghai Town who had been hiding from the other two directions suddenly came out.
This surrender ceremony has evolved into a classic counterattack of fake surrender.
Liu Hui is trueHe was afraid not only that his work would be ruined, but also that the Yan people would mistakenly think that he, Liu Hui, was doing something in the Yan camp while he was playing here, and he was afraid that he would end up not being a human being inside and outside.
Fortunately, the prince's words immediately calmed him down and made him feel moved.
Conscience of heaven and earth, I am really committed to being a gangster. Fortunately, the prince understands me.
Zheng Fan stopped looking at Liu Hui,
turned to Xie Yuan,
and said:
"Let's get started."< /p>
......
"Is it okay?"
Zheng Lin looked at A Ming,
It is difficult for blind people to speak, but A Ming is easy to talk. .
So, when his own father said he wanted to take the blind man away, Zheng Lin rarely said "thank you".
Indeed, A Ming had no principles when it came to pampering his children. He immediately used blood magic to temporarily break Zheng Lin's seal.
His Royal Highness the Prince Regent of Dayan, who had been released from the seal,
slowly stood up from the chair.
His hair was flowing, and the Prince's python robe was covered with anger. He blew vigorously, with a faint smile on his lips.
He was originally a dragon, but he had been sealed since he was a child and his range of activities had been delineated. What he faced was
strong maternal love,
and the love from a family. The supreme care of all the godfathers made His Royal Highness have a violent streak in his heart for a long time, but he had no chance to display it.
Just like... killing people happily.
Now,
the opportunity to kill someone legitimately has finally come.
Zheng Lin clenched his fists,
raised his head, and
let out a low roar, like a wild beast out of its cage, patrolling the prey he had brought to his door.
The next moment,
The Sword Master and the Sword Maker appeared from behind Zheng Lin.
Outside the palace, the bodyguards in brocade robes arrived in formation, leading them A terrifying deterrent.
Zheng Lin took a step forward and shouted:
“Kill!”
…
< p>"Let's do it."The prince continued to sit on the chair lazily, and Siniang reached out to help him press the acupuncture points on his head.
At the same time,
Nian Yao and Xie Zhuyang, who had already completed their arrangements and were ready to go, each led their troops to charge out;
In addition ,
The Jindong Iron Cavalry led by Tiantian and Chen Xianba respectively have also entered the battlefield.
The surrounding battlefields are filled with dust and fog, but it is foreseeable that in the face of absolute elites and even absolute numerical superiority, the dust... has actually settled long ago.
In other words, this is a battle without any suspense.
So much so that the prince could not muster the slightest energy.
The princess continued to helpWhile massaging the prince, he whispered in the prince's ear with a slightly complaining tone:
"How can I be a father like you."
Obviously, Zheng Fan's arrangement will naturally escape. But Siniang’s eyes;
This is the fact. In fact, Zheng Lin knows this very well. His good-for-nothing dad is the only one who can deal with his mother and all the godfathers and masters.
They knew what their biological father was going to do, but... they just couldn't stop it.
The prince reached out and gently held Siniang's hand,
and said:
"My son has been quite tired in recent years. He has to work and rest." "Combined."
"But how can my son combine work and rest like this?"
The prince shook his head and said:
"I am here to cultivate the relationship between father and son."
As he said that,
The prince himself also laughed,
said:
"Family-child bonding."
