first minister

Chapter 75

The eerie night finally passed slowly. When the night was only torn apart by the skylight, the residents of Jiang'an City who had been terrified all night couldn't help but carefully removed a door panel.

Looking vigilantly at the street outside the house, there were no dead bodies everywhere, not even a trace of blood.

Nothing at all.

Whoosh!

As door panels were removed, the city came alive again.

The hustle and bustle last night that made people shiver under the quilt seemed to be really just a dream.

But some people still stay in the dream forever, and can never wake up again.

In a large house, the owner woke up with a pair of dark circles under his eyes. The lady beside him set breakfast and asked worriedly, "Will today's luncheon be held as usual?"

"Since the rebel army has been defeated, and the empress has no other orders, it will naturally be held as usual."

"Hey, master, be careful."

"What are you worried about, the sky is falling and there is someone tall enough to hold it up."

"Master, you are the god of our family!"

The man turned his head to look at his wife, his eyes were gratified, if you can say such things at any time, why does the old man keep so many concubines.

But then he shook his head again, that's not okay, you are not plump at the age of 20, the old man loves girls to death.

After shaking his head and shaking his head in confusion, the man put down the bowl and chopsticks, dressed neatly, walked out of the mansion, and went to contact his circle to inquire.

The circles quietly communicated and gathered, and finally all turned their attention to Yunfu.

"I naturally hope that the luncheon can be held as usual, but the current situation is unstable, and the rebels of the Zheng family have not yet been crowned. Whether the trip can take place, I still hope to discuss with General Jin. I have already sent someone to invite you. Please wait a moment."

In Yunfu, Concubine De looked at the few officials who were qualified to discuss matters with her, and spoke slowly.

As soon as the words were finished, Feng Xiuyun arrived in a hurry, bringing a soldier with a message.

Concubine De's heart jumped subconsciously, "What's the matter?"

The soldier glanced at the rest of the people, and Concubine De said directly: "All the gentlemen here are trusted by my palace, so feel free to speak."

The soldier stopped hesitating and said, "The rebels are coming again!"

De Fei stood up abruptly.

A moment later, the whole city was under martial law, and more than a dozen state dignitaries, led by Concubine De, walked to the top of the city.

Under the city wall, more than a thousand rebels stood again.

Jin Jiancheng stepped forward, "Mother, the Zheng family and his son actually have a backup. Last night, nearly a thousand people came from the south of the city. They were discovered by our army when they passed around the city. But the night was dark, and I didn't dare to chase after them rashly. After firing a few arrows, I could only sit and watch them join forces and make a comeback. The rebels had already launched a round of probing before, and after finding that we were prepared, they have not yet launched a large-scale attack."

He knelt down on one knee, "This is the failure of the general who did not complete all his achievements last night, please punish me."

Concubine De was silent for a moment, then stretched out her hand to help her up, "Don't do this, General Jin. It was my palace's consent not to pursue you last night. If you want to judge blame, it is also my responsibility. General Jin is also thinking about the danger of the public security in the city. He returned to the town in time. How can you be blamed? Please hurry up."

"Ms. De Concubine! Why don't you tell me face to face?"

Just as the other end was talking, Zheng Yuanwang's arrogant and proud voice sounded from under the city wall.

Concubine De walked slowly towards the city wall, and worried voices sounded from all around, "Your Majesty, be careful!"

Jin Jiancheng stood next to her with a shield in hand, always on guard.

Concubine De looked down calmly, and the rebels in sharp clothes formed a tight formation, facing Jiang'an city with murderous intent.

Her face was cold, and Xia Jingyun, like a witty dog ​​leg, handed over a horn at the right time.

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone gets it and punishes them, what face does it have, dare to stand in front of this palace!"

The cold sound was amplified by the loudspeaker, and it was clearly transmitted to the opposite side.

Zheng Yuanwang laughed, "Great Xia's energy is exhausted, and now he is just dying. The old man raises the flag of righteousness first, just as the world hopes, why not dare?"

Concubine De wanted to take a sip, but considering that moving away from the speaker would not be imposing, and facing the speaker was a bit indecent, she had to give up, and continued: "A rebel, who claims to be a rebel, is just ridiculous, and has a bad reputation for thousands of years, yet he is still complacent, which is extremely ridiculous."

Zheng Yuanwang snorted coldly, "Great Xia has no principles, amassing money without restraint, arrogance and lust, and fulfilling one's own desires, causing the people's families to have no money and no food to eat. The old man does the opposite, how can he not be justified?"

"If the rotten tree in the court is an official, he doesn't care about the feelings of the people, causing the people to be displaced, without constant property and business. If the old man does the opposite, how can he not be justified?"

"The world's animals and beasts feed on the salary, which has been passed down from generation to generation, so that the world's elites have to bow down and die in depression. If the old man is the opposite, why can't he be justified?"

"The wealthy gentry are greedy and amass, the fields are countless, and the houses are endless, but the poor have no land to stand on, and the weak have little clothing to cover their bodies. The old man is the opposite, how can he not be justified?"

Pointing his horsewhip at the city wall, he said in a loud voice: "Just like you, you only know how to sing, drink, and enjoy yourself every day. How have you ever seen the suffering of the world and the suffering of the people? Today, the old man leads the army and will make you prisoners of the ranks. Only then can you relieve your heart and mind!"

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

The blood boiled and the murderous words boosted the morale of the rebel army, and they clamored collectively.

And above the city wall, there was silence.

Because, Daxia is really not good!
What Zheng Yuanwang said was basically the truth, and it was impossible to refute it.

Besides, they are all approaching the city. If you say anything about putting down your weapons, let's discuss it carefully. If there is any dissatisfaction, we will study it carefully, report it to the court, and then come up with countermeasures. Isn't that treating people like fools!

Concubine De was also silent, the silence was the beating of conscience.

"Fuck your mother's fart!"

At this moment, Xia Jingyun picked up the small horn and let out a loud roar, which shocked everyone on the city wall.

"I won't comment on how your majesty and the masters of the central government are doing, but you two dogs, father and son, are worthy of talking about the rebel army here?"

"I didn't want to scold you today, but I didn't expect you to jump out so shamelessly. Then I will slap your pig faces hard!"

"You privately store soldiers, pretending to be bandits and bandits, and causing chaos everywhere. How many innocent people have been harmed, how many people have destroyed their homes and cried miserably, is this righteousness?"

"In order to increase your odds of winning the siege, in one county, you set up prisons, let countless stable families lose the wealth accumulated for several generations, the whole family was distributed, suffered in labor camps, lost innocence, dignity, and even life, to become a stepping stone for your great cause of rebellion. Are you righteous?"

"You are good at swordsmanship, innocent people were kidnapped and driven by you, and they were buried in the wilderness, eaten by vicious dogs and wild beasts. There are many bones and souls, are you righteous?"

"You two, father and son, the old one is a sheriff of a county. He doesn't want to be loyal to the country, doesn't think about working hard and loving the people. In the place where he is in charge, he secretly raises the dead and allows them to do evil. He is planning to plot rebellion and create chaos? It is disloyal!"

"A young man who is responsible for the prestige of a state, does not think about economics and helps the people, and acts as an example for the youth. He secretly colludes with bandits, commits many evil deeds, plots to commit rebellion, and disregards the teachings of sages. Is it inhumane?"

"Concubine De, as an imperial concubine, you actually say that you are disrespectful in front of your face. You have no king and no father. You are not filial!"

"Unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous bastards like your father and son, dare to raise the flag of righteousness and raise the righteous army. Will those souls who died tragically under the bandits' swords agree? Will the bones in the mass graves agree? Will the swords and guns in the hands of us truly loyal and patriotic people agree?"

"Go to your mother's rebels! Pooh!"

Xia Jingyun was impassioned and instantly reversed the situation between the two parties.

The people on the city wall also reacted from his words, yes, we can't say whether the court is good or not, but you are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks about the shitty things you have done!

Everyone's morale was instantly boosted, and they regained the moral high ground.

Zheng Yuanwang, who was originally complacent, was speechless for a while after his scars were exposed face to face.

Zheng Tianyu snorted coldly, and retorted loudly: "Those who have achieved great things since ancient times, regardless of trivial matters, whichever new dynasty is established, if they don't experience a rebirth from the ashes, if they can exchange for the world's peace and prosperity, they will be considered worthy of death!"

"Tsk tsk!" Xia Jingyun said with emotion, "Based on Jun Mo's words to seal the marquis, one will be successful, right?"

His voice suddenly rose, "You are worthy of saying such things? Then why don't you be that dry bone! Why don't you fucking die!"

Zheng Tianyu's tone faltered, and Zheng Yuanwang snorted coldly, "You glib man, I won't wait to talk too much with you! Do you think that Jiang'an City will be safe if you guard it? Have you ever thought about this small city, and it takes so much effort for you to guard it? Why isn't this old man worried that I won't be able to defend it in the future?"

Concubine De frowned, and everyone on the city wall was stunned.

Immediately afterward, Zheng Yuanwang laughed wildly and said: "This morning, the old man's confidantes and staff members have personally led a group of hundreds of elite soldiers, pretending to be the defeated army of Jiang'an City, and went to the state city to report the rescue! When they enter the city, the state city with strong food and sufficient food is the old man's reliance on this success!"

"You! All of you are just playthings in the hands of this old man! Hahahaha!"

A nobleman in the state said eagerly: "You are talking nonsense, there is Li Shilang sitting in the state city, how could you easily let you in!"

"Hahahaha! To tell you the truth, the governor of the prefecture has already made an agreement with the old man. When the old man arrives, he will cooperate with the outside, control the new Li Shilang who has no foundation, and then open the city gate! Concubine De, concubine De, thanks to you for taking down Weizhou Mu, otherwise the old man's plan would not be so easy! Hahahaha!"

Amidst Zheng Yuanwang's triumphant laughter, everyone on the city wall was dumbfounded.

This Zheng Yuanwang, who usually doesn't show his mountains or dew his water, actually has such a plan?
If the state city is really stolen by the rebels, the rebels may really be able to make a big deal!

Wudang Army is a powerful army in the world, and Jin Jiancheng is also a man who knows soldiers. The bandits along the way are centered on Jiang'an City and pushed in all directions. They would rather be slow than clean up along the way. But under such circumstances, Zheng Yuanwang was able to sneak in two thousand armored men under the nose of Wudang Army!

At the same time, a team was sent to Zhouzhou City as a serial killer.

Many dignitaries couldn't help thinking that their families and properties were all in the state city, and when the rebels threatened their families and relatives, how would they deal with themselves?

Great summer is about to fall, shouldn't it be time for me to change my mind?
Various thoughts quietly emerged from the hearts of these dignitaries, and their eyes began to become hesitant.

Concubine De said coldly: "Don't try to confuse people here! The governor of Surabaya, Shi Lu Fengyuan, is Concubine Shu's cousin, a British descendant, how could he collude with a traitor like you!"

Zheng Yuanwang smiled triumphantly, "Concubine De, concubine De, you are so innocent! Concubine Shu? She wishes you could die here! Haha!"

He leaned forward slightly on his horseback, "How about we have a discussion, you open the city and surrender, the old man promises that you will not be hurt, and let you go back to Beijing for revenge, how about?"

"Rebellious officials and thieves, don't even think about it!" Concubine De refused without hesitation.

"In that case, my sons and daughters!" Zheng Yuanwang held up his hands, "Get ready to attack the city!"

On the city wall, the rich and powerful felt their hearts tense for a moment, and spoke in a panic.

"Your Majesty is the body of a thousand pieces of gold, the old minister will escort you back to your residence and wait!"

"Yes, this place is very dangerous, your empress must not put yourself in danger."

Concubine De turned her head and glanced at them, she did not expose their mischief, but calmly withdrew her gaze, "Soldiers, I am standing here, advancing and retreating with you!"

The Wudang army on the city wall suddenly burst into a sky-shattering roar.

"Sister, don't worry."

Xia Jingyun suddenly comforted him from the side, then took a deep breath, holding the horn and shouted: "If you don't come out, you will really die!"

Jin Jiancheng took out the whistle from his pocket, moved to the horn, and blew a sharp sound.

With the sound of the whistle, behind the rebel army formation, a cloud of smoke slowly rises in the eyes of everyone's astonishment, gradually covering the sky and covering the sun.

　and also.
