The devil is coming

Chapter 1001 Seal, open!
"Guan Jia, the stitching here needs to be changed again."
"No need, I think it's fine."
"Guan family, you have to call me me, but you have to change it."
"Haha, I'm afraid I won't be able to change it back if I need to."
Zhao Yuannian took off his dragon robe and said, "Eunuch Zhao, it's not too much trouble, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Cheng immediately knelt down and said:
"Please give the official a name to the slave."
Zhao Cheng, a native of Chu;
When Zheng Fan entered Chu to steal the princess, Zhao Cheng was kidnapped. Later, he even brandished a knife from the palace and boarded this boat;
For a long time, 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 the moment,
In the first year of Zhao's reign, King Fu proclaimed himself emperor in Jinghai, Jiangnan.
It can also be called "supporting the emperor".
Zhao Chengcheng was placed next to Zhao Yuannian.
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 paid by the public.
But because there are no eunuchs in the regent's palace,
Therefore,
How dare Prince Fu's Mansion, which is located in the same city, surpass the Prince Regent's Mansion in terms of expenses?
Of course, from another perspective...
If the prince brought Zhao Yuannian with him this time, if it was a coincidence, then he also brought with him the only "eunuch" in the palace. This really makes it impossible to use "coincidence" and "unintentional insertion". Come explain.
Everything has actually been in the prince's plan 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 an official?"
It is not that there are no non-royal people with the surname Zhao in the Qian Kingdom, and there are many of them;
First, because the three surnames Ji, Xiong, and Yu were originally Daxia clans before the Three Marquises opened the border, and 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. Yes, if nothing else, 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 back then, life was extremely difficult for the two brothers when they were young, but they still had the national surname.
The second is that the founding of the country was relatively late. Although they made up their own history and came up with some "four princes to open borders", the era was still not enough. No matter how tabooed it was by the Tian family, it was impossible for someone to have the surname Zhao. People have changed their surnames.
But anyway,
As a eunuch,
It is indeed inappropriate to dare to bear the surname "Zhao" in front of officials.
however,
How dare Zhao Yuannian change his surname to Zhao Cheng?
He is extremely clear about how he came to be an official, and he also knows what his mission and role are;
Furthermore, although Zhao Cheng was an eunuch, he entered the palace earlier than himself.
"Eunuch Zhao, you also know what is going on with me. We are all members of the palace, so we should stop worrying about these trivial matters.
You and I should work hard and contribute to the prince's plan. "
"I understand, I understand. I understand."
Zhao Cheng folded up the dragon robe on Zhao Yuannian and presented it to a woman behind a screen on one side;
The woman has a beautiful face, and is especially good at female beauty kung fu. She is Zhao Cheng's younger sister, and was given the name Zhao Xinniang by Xiong Liqing.
"Here, let's make some more changes. Hurry, 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, "The officials will gradually get used to it."
"Eunuch Zhao, I ask you, how long do you think I can be an official?"
"Of course it lasts forever, for thousands of generations." Zhao Cheng replied immediately.
"Hey, we are our own people, so what can't we say directly? I said, Eunuch Zhao, could you please stop acting like this and making me feel unhappy?
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 calling myself 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, 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: "When you sit up, you step up your legs first; when you get down, you 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 of the Xie family said that day?
What does this mean?
This is admitted. "
This is the role of national foundation, heirs, and successors. 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?"
"It's natural."
Zhao Yuannian made a splash;
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, and naturally he did not dare to take the initiative to call himself "brother" in front of the prince;
However, the feeling of the prince calling him "adopted brother" was so numb that it went to his bones, making him feel as if he was in the clouds. Looking back on it now, he still feels a little elated.
"Then when you step down from this throne, you can either become the head of the country like the Emperor of Chu... or you can have your own vassal like the Prince Cheng's Mansion. Take a step back and say, At least he can get a hereditary replacement like the Jin Palace.
Moreover, it is not the hereditary replacement of King Fu, but... King Qian. "
King Fu and King Qian may seem to be the same, but in fact they are quite different. As King Qian, hereditary succession 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 Guan, 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 to 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 naturally he 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 cursed:
"Where are you thinking? I'll beg my son to let my mother and concubine go and make peace."
"Then slave, please thank the official for your kindness."
Nowadays, people generally give birth at an early age, and there are usually many maids around the young master. Applying the standards of future generations, there are many examples of people who became fathers when they were still children.
Therefore, although Princess Fu is not much older than Zheng Fan, she has already become a grandmother.
Of course, another reason here is that Zheng Fan had a hard time raising children due to objective reasons, and it was relatively late.
Nowadays, Zhao Yuannian is an "official family", and his sister will marry Zhao Yuannian's son, and she will be the crown princess...
Zhao Cheng felt that this was an excellent destination.
In fact, both he and Zhao Yuannian were very ambitious masters, but under the palace, their ambitions seemed very pure;
Sometimes, limited ambition can ensure subjective initiative.
"Guan family, brother, it has been changed."
Zhao Cheng came over immediately, took back the dragon robe, and then helped Zhao Yuannian put it on.
This set of dragon robes was originally modified from the dried vassal king's 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 of the state of Qian.
After putting it on again, Zhao Yuannian took a deep breath and asked:
"How are the preparations going outside?"
"The official will ask you later."
Zhao Chenggang 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:
"Mandarin, please bring me this inner armor. You can wear it."
He had not planned to take it out before, but when he thought of getting married, he took it out. Eunuch Zhao was extremely realistic.
Zhao Yuannian pursed his lips and took the inner armor that Zhao Cheng had 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 later is not important.
At least, in Zhao Cheng's view, it was 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, I'm too lazy to make room."
"I thought you preferred the scene outside."
"That's the position you're more suited to, Dad."
Zheng Fan nodded, stood up, seemed to have thought of something again, and said:
"Oh, by the way, your mother will be here later."
"what!"
Zheng Lin's expression changed immediately.
Zheng Fan smiled, with an expression that said I know everything about what you are thinking.
Zheng Lin's expression began to turn gloomy;
It's not that I'm angry at anyone, but that the originally expected scene of itchy hands is gradually going away from me, so I'm 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's body suddenly softened and he leaned on the chair.
"If you don't speak, does that mean 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 Highness the Crown Prince and asked:
"Your Highness, will it start on time?"
Zheng Lin nodded,
Road:
"Ah."
……
The Yan Army, or the Yan-Chu Allied Army, did not continue to carry out any large-scale military operations after entering Jinghai City;
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 continue to penetrate deep into the south of the Yangtze River.
Mainly for two reasons. From a military perspective, Zheng Fan personally brought [-] Jindong elites this time, plus [-] Chu troops, plus the Shanyue tribe servants recruited by the Xie family, there were [-] troops. .
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 [-] troops are "friendly troops". When they are separated to cooperate, they have to be wary of each other. Five plus five is less than ten;
If it is just for robbery and destruction, thus dividing one's local military advantages, it will really lose the watermelon and gain the sesame seeds.
The second is the political level. The announcement of Zhao Yuannian's new king's enthronement in the name of the Regent of Dayan has a much greater influence than the army's four expeditions.
Today, the officials and gentry in Jinghai City, as well as many representatives from other places in the south of the Yangtze River, gathered in a former emperor's palace outside Jinghai City to hold a coronation 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 defense against Chu in Anhai Town, Menhai Town, and Dongru Town. The system is called the Little Three Sides by the gangsters.
It's just that when the Yan army came in before, they took a detour and directly jumped over this line of defense.
This is a great adventure on a military level because your rear is within range that the enemy can cut off;
The premise for daring to do this is that Yan Jun has the self-confidence. As long as Qian Jun dares to come out of the military town, he will defeat him in the wild.
Judging from today’s situation,
The new king ascends the throne,
Although there are not many civil and military personnel, they all have them. At least the most basic dignity of this "pseudo court" has been initially achieved.
If...that's really the case.
……
On the high platform, the prince sat in the handsome seat.
Siniang and the blind man separated their left and right sides.
With his current status, accepting the surrender of the commander-in-chief of Gan Ren was a great honor. Even the courtesy of a corporal was not enough. He should be worth a thousand pieces of gold and a horse's bones.
not far away,
Du Sheng came with [-] horsemen and his own troops and horses camped twenty miles away from here.
however,
Commander Du came, but when he approached, he stopped.
Liu Hui stepped forward at this time and said: "Your Majesty, Commander Du may still have doubts in his heart, 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 together for the last part, with everyone carrying the sedan chair.
Zheng Fan glanced at Liu Hui beside him.
smiled;
It didn't say he was allowed to go, and it didn't say he wasn't allowed to go.
Xie Yuan, who was beside him, understood and stepped forward to ask Liu Hui:
"Master Liu."
"exist."
"You are here to see who is more distasteful to you, such as your subordinates. Do you think he may not obey you or not obey the new court and still do things in the past?"
"All my humble subordinates are loyal to the prince, there is absolutely no..."
Xie Yuan's eyes darkened;
Liu Hui opened his mouth,
Said: "Wang Le'an, he, there is a gap between him and me."
Wang Le'an was the former deputy commander of Jinghai City. When Liu Hui opened the city gate to dedicate the city, he was detained by Liu Hui in advance. After the Yan army entered the city, Wang Le'an had no choice but to surrender, but he kept cursing. While drinking that day, he often scolded Liu Hui for committing adultery and reading sages' books in vain.
"Okay, then send him."
"Yes."
The military order was issued, and Wang Le'an, who was standing below and not qualified to stand on the platform, was a little confused for a moment, but in an instant, ecstasy filled his heart.
He scolded Liu Hui, mostly because you damn wanted to surrender to Yan. Why did the people 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 Le'an 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 Le'an accepted the order happily.
Wang Le'an has gone,
Not long after,
Wang Le'an went;
His head was chopped off by Du Sheng, and a personal guard was sent to the stage where he was preparing to accept the surrender ceremony.
Liu Hui's eyes widened in fear, and he felt a chill from his spine to his tailbone.
If the prince had allowed him to go before, now the head is probably his.
Du Sheng's bodyguard sent the head back,
He also shouted:
"Yangou, are you trying to bully me?"
……
"Yangou, do you really think that I am bloodless when I fuck someone?"
During the enthronement ceremony,
Those who originally came to congratulate and accept official positions were many local middle and low-level officials and students in Jinghai City, rich family guards and worshipers from other places who came to congratulate, local powerful people, and sect leaders... all kinds of people, in this originally "solemn and solemn" place. At the ceremony, there were roars.
all of a sudden,
The original hall full of "New Dynasty Conglong Ministers", three out of ten, drew their weapons.
Some of them are kung fu masters, but more than half don't know kung fu, but the momentum is extremely majestic.
Then,
Many soldiers of the Qian Kingdom who originally took 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 unrealistic 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 loyal people completely outweighs the "loyal and righteous people".
On the day he "ascended to the throne", the originally "prosperous" situation was suddenly turned upside down, and Zhao Yuannian also lost his composure;
Wearing a dragon robe, he ran down from the dragon chair in a hurry.
But at any rate, he was 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 he was panicking, he still remembered to run over and wanted to pull His Royal Highness 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 actually has such great strength!
Zheng Lin turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yuannian who was lying on the ground.
After all, it was for the sake of Princess Fu that Zheng Lin did not sneer at him. Instead, he suppressed a certain contempt for "all living beings are equal" in his body and forced out a tone that he thought was quite gentle.
Road:
"Don't worry."
……
"Don't panic."
Seeing Liu Hui's frightened look, the prince gave him a rare comfort.
In any case, Liu Hui's opening the door to the city did bring great convenience to the army.
And then,
Military reports kept coming,
Not only did the soldiers and horses of Du Sheng's Anhai Town stationed twenty miles away come out to fight here, but the troops from Menhai Town and Donghai Town who had been hiding from the other two directions also suddenly came out.
This surrender ceremony has evolved into a classic counterattack of fake surrender.
Liu Hui was really afraid, not only that his work would be ruined, but also that the Yan people would mistakenly think that Liu Hui was playing here and was doing something in the Yan camp, and he was afraid that he would end up not being a human being inside and outside.
Fortunately, the prince's words immediately made him feel at ease, and he was also moved spontaneously.
In the 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.
Turning to look at Xie Yuan,
Road:
"let's start."
……
"Is it alright?"
Zheng Lin looked at A Ming,
It is difficult for a blind man to speak, but A Ming is easy to speak.
Therefore, when his own father said that he wanted to take the blind man away, Zheng Lin rarely said "thank you".
Indeed, when it came to pampering his children, A Ming was much more unprincipled. He immediately used blood magic to temporarily break Zheng Lin's seal.
His Royal Highness the Prince Regent of Dayan, who was released from the seal,
Slowly stood up from the chair,
His hair was flowing, the crown prince's python robe was blown up with energy, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
He was originally a dragon, but he had been sealed since he was a child and had his range of activities delineated. He faced...
It is strong maternal love,
And the supreme care from all the godfathers,
As a result, His Royal Highness had long been accumulating violence in his heart, but he had no chance to display it.
Just like...killing people happily.
right now,
The opportunity to kill someone legitimately finally came.
Zheng Lin clenched his fists,
look up,
He let out a low growl, like a wild beast out of its cage, patrolling the prey he had brought to his door.
next moment,
The sword master and sword maker appeared from behind Zheng Lin,
On the periphery of the palace, the royal guards arrayed themselves in formation, bringing a terrifying intimidation.
Zheng Lin took a step forward,
He said in a low voice:
"kill!"
...
"Go ahead."
The prince continued to sit on the chair lazily, and Siniang stretched out her hands 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 cavalry led by Tiantian and Chen Xianba respectively have also entered the battlefield.
The surrounding battlefield is full of 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.
While the princess continued to massage the prince, she whispered in the prince's ear with a slightly complaining tone:
"How can I be a father like you?"
Obviously, Zheng Fan’s arrangement could not escape Siniang’s eyes;
This is the fact. In fact, Zheng Lin knows this very well. His good-for-nothing father 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.
Road:
"My son has been living a very tiring life these past few years. He needs to balance work with rest."
"But how can I let my son have such a good balance between work and rest?"
The prince shook his head,
Road:
"I'm here to cultivate the relationship between father and son."
said,
The prince himself also laughed,
Road:
"It's a parent-child bonding."
