The devil is coming

Chapter 121 Revenge!
In my previous life, I watched various film and television literary works with ancient backgrounds, and one sentence was used so little that Zheng Fan felt bored every time he heard it.
This sentence is: What a shame that I was born in an emperor’s family!
This sentence is usually shouted by female characters more often, usually with a sad and helpless cry biting the lower lip. It is usually used in plots where love cannot be controlled independently.
It's as if they could endure the life of being born in a poor family without being born into an imperial family. They would have to work in the fields early without having enough food or clothing to keep them warm. If they had younger brothers at home, they would have to be exchanged for marriage.
But with the Sixth Prince, Zheng Fan really felt the meaning of this sentence, or... the chill.
Many people have been to the Forbidden City in later generations. Some people still think it is magnificent. Some people are disappointed after seeing it. But no matter what the perception is, when the palace is no longer the pinnacle of the center of power, it has actually lost most of its power. Part of the aura.
The majesty and terror of imperial power, as well as the distortion and bloodshed it brings, can often make people shudder when touched up close.
"It seems that Marquis Jingnan appreciates you very much. You are doing well."
"It is gold, it will shine wherever it is."
"Hey, I really missed your wise words."
"Next time I write, I'll write a little to you."
"Can you really do wholesale?"
"It's just a worthless thing."
The Sixth Prince brought up a roast duck from the fireplace, cut it with a knife without removing the slices, handed Zheng Fan a duck leg, and took the other duck leg for himself.
Road:
"How do you feel over there in the Qian Kingdom? The adults here in the capital all know about you. Hundreds of cavalry moved hundreds of miles to fight in the Qian Kingdom. They also broke through the Mianzhou City of the Qian Kingdom and beheaded a group of guards.
Oh, to be honest, I have also imagined this kind of life. When I was a child, I also dreamed that I could have such grace. "
"That's it. Apart from repairing houses, the Qian people are doing a good job in everything else. The border army has long been rotten. Even the little ladies on the border of Qian are not as good as our Yan people. Shui Ling.”
In fact, Cuiliu Bao had already communicated the specific details and process with the Sixth Prince through letters. After all, they are big investors. If they invest in your business, you don’t have to make a profit, but you have to make some noise;
In the words of Xiazibei, whether you are bragging, making PPT or talking about cross talk,
In short, investors must be fooled into laughing and continuing to be willing to invest money in it.
At this moment, the Sixth Prince asked Zheng Fan about the affairs of the country. It was just a casual chat, not a board meeting.
"Where are you then? Among the women of Qian Kingdom, Xiahang is the most famous. Xiahang is already in the south of the Yangtze River of Qian Kingdom."
"If there is a chance in the future, I will lead my troops to the south of the Yangtze River in the Qian Kingdom, and I will capture some women from Xiahang and bring them back to warm the Kang."
"Yes, this is too vulgar to say, and it's embarrassing for me."
"It's as if it's not shameful to be a duck."
"Is it a shame to make money, do business and make a living by relying on your own skills?"
"Is it a shame to rob someone with a knife?"
"What you said seems to make sense. Really, I find that your words have always been very interesting. Although you have been away for the past few months, your words will echo in my lonely ears from time to time. "
"..." Zheng Fan.
"Haha, Marquis Jingnan returned to Beijing this time in compliance with the imperial edict of his father. It was nominally for the birthday of the empress, but because the old man of the Tian family is celebrating his birthday in front of him, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just an excuse."
"Well, I can see it."
"Right now, the Zhenbei Army in the six towns of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion has only left two towns to continue to guard the desert. The remaining four towns have all been stationed at the border of Beifeng County. The imperial army has also been mobilized. The situation is quite tense."
"Yeah, I'm very nervous."
"Why don't you have any sense of urgency?"
"You don't have one either?"
"Okay, let me remind you again. Many powerful families in the imperial court were opposed to my father continuing to intensify conflicts and start a war against the Zhenbei Army. At first, they were frightened by my father's anger and did not dare to make any mistakes. They also behaved obediently. Gather the private military tribes on their own land and converge on the capital.
Maybe the original intention was to help his father show off and build up his momentum to make the Zhenbei Army fearful.In addition, Zhenbei Hou himself is still in the capital, which is always a huge bargaining chip.
But it doesn't work anymore. Something happened that caused many people in these aristocratic families and my royal family to panic. "
"What happened?"
"The young Marquis of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is said to have appeared in the Marquis Mansion."
"Young Master?"
"Don't be surprised, let alone you. I have never seen him before. The Zhenbei Marquis lineage has always been short of heirs.
Some people say that it is because the first generation of Zhenbei Hou buried hundreds of thousands of troops in Yinlang County a hundred years ago, causing too many murders and incurring karmic debts; others say that it is because the barbarian priests buried hundreds of thousands of troops day and night. Cursing the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to exterminate descendants has produced results.
This generation of Zhenbei Marquis has only one son and one daughter.As for the girl, she is the princess you have met. I guess it won’t be long before she becomes my sister-in-law, and then the crown princess.
As for the son, it is said that he was extremely weak when he was born, often fell ill and almost died.
However, after he grew up a little, he was sent by the Marquis Mansion to join the Zhenbei Army for training. It has been almost ten years now. Except for the Marquis himself, no one probably knows which town and which department the young Marquis served in. What kind of soldier is he? What is his current official position? Pao Ze and Shang Feng beside him don't know his identity.
The imperial espionage department and spies from various families have spent a lot of money to find this young prince over the years, but they have failed. "
"Hiding one person among 30 people is really like finding a needle in a haystack."
"In the past few years, there were even rumors that the young prince of the Zhenbei Hou family had died, perhaps from a disease or from a conflict with the barbarians.
This means that the Zhenbei Hou Mansion will be cut off.
In addition, my sister-in-law, the princess, has obviously started to take charge of things in recent years, which can not help but deepen the speculation that the young prince is dead. Without a male in the family, the only way to support the family is through women. "
"So, this time, the young prince came out?"
"It's not announced openly, but the informants in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion have received the news that the young Marquis has indeed appeared.
You know what this means? "
"It means that the 30 Zhenbei Army has a young master, and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion has an heir."
"Yes, just like the prince is the foundation of the country, no matter how big the foundation is, if there is no heir, people's hearts will not be able to unite, because with you, there is probably no future, and everyone will be confused.
Originally, the family members believed that the Marquis of Zhenbei was still in the capital and that the Zhenbei army was just pretending no matter how much trouble they made. Now, they were completely panicked.
The young marquis appeared. Regardless of whether Zhenbei Hou himself was alive or dead in the capital, the 30 Zhenbei army had a target to continue to follow. When the time came, the young marquis gave an order for the Zhenbei army to enter the capital and seize the throne. It's not impossible to ascend the throne, right?
I wonder how excited those Qiu Ba people must be, this is... Conglong, no, it is the founding of the country. "
"So, how do those aristocratic families deal with it?"
"The prince."
The Sixth Prince bit out these two words.
In the Great Yanzu system, titles with different surnames were capped at marquis, and non-princes could not be crowned kings.
"The clansmen are really scared. They are afraid that if the two sides really fight, then the entire Yan Kingdom will become a battlefield, and they themselves will not be able to choose sides. They do not want to gamble, and they dare not gamble to maintain the stability of the situation. That’s what they most want to see.”
"You won't be able to confer only one king title, right?"
"Didn't I tell you in my letter that Jin and Qian are already clamoring to identify the Marquis of Jingnan as the King of Jingnan? Do you think this is really groundless?"
"It turns out that the flies don't bite the eggs."
"Tsk, it's a golden sentence again, isn't it too cheap?"
"polite."
"What the powerful families want is for my father to grant the title of King of Zhenbei to the Marquis of Zhenbei, so that I, Dayan, can continue to guard the northern border for generations. At the same time, for the sake of balance, I can grant the title of Marquis of Jingnan as the King of Jingnan to guard the southern border.
At the same time, add a hereditary replacement to King Jingnan. "
In the past, "Jingnan Marquis" sounded like a title, but in fact it was more like an official position. He took charge of the Jingnan Army in southern Xinjiang on behalf of Emperor Yan. If the queen was granted the title of Queen and a hereditary replacement was added, it would mean that she would be completely confirmed. With his status, he can open a government office.
"Is there any contribution from the Tian family here?"
"Although the Tian family is not the most powerful of the four great clans in our country, it is still the leader after the four great clans. It is one of the great clans in itself, what do you think?
Moreover, the hereditary prince, it is true that the Tian family is now a relative, but the respect of the relatives is destined to not last long. At most, after my second brother succeeds to the throne, he can still dance for a few more years, but wait for my second brother’s child What about after taking the throne?
A prince, a prince who is hereditary and irreplaceable. To be honest, if I were the old man of the Tian family, I wouldn’t be able to bear it. "
"In this way, the country is equivalent to being divided."
"You have a really far-sighted perspective on things."
The Yan Kingdom has the most powerful cavalry among the four eastern kingdoms. For hundreds of years, it has suppressed the desert barbarians with the power of one country. However, due to domestic politics, the Yan Emperor was unable to launch a war of unification southward against Qian or against Jin. .
And once the north and the south really seal another king each, the imperial power will undoubtedly be further weakened. The contemporary Emperor Yan has been doing the work of reducing the vassal since he succeeded to the throne, but in the end, he reduced it further and further.
"How is your father feeling lately?"
"Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?"
"Tell the truth first."
"I was very angry. I killed more than ten erring eunuchs and maids in the imperial study room with a cane. They have been out of court for ten days. In the past few nights, I have stayed with a few beauties I have never touched before."
The beauty here refers to the official position in the harem.
"So, what about lies?"
"It's my family's fault to lie. Those beauties were brought to the palace a few years ago. It is said that Emperor Qian has three daughters of the Yang family. How can I, the Emperor of Dayan, lag behind?"
"Is she also a girl from Xiahang?"
"It's the girl from Xiahang."
"Go on and listen to what your family has to say."
"I think that my father, who has been working so hard these days, wants to give me some younger brothers and sisters who are half Ganren.
Haha, what one family says is a lie. "
words fell,
The Sixth Prince and Zheng Fan looked at each other.
There was a smile on each corner of their mouth,
hey-hey……
"The Tian family has a manor outside the capital, which is extremely luxurious. It is said that half a year ago, the father promised the queen to allow him to return to his hometown to visit his relatives after his birthday. The Tian family deliberately demolished the old house and rebuilt it as a visitor garden.
There are mountains, rivers, pavilions and pavilions inside. Even in winter, the grass is growing and the orioles are flying. It is not inferior to the West Garden that was originally built with the help of the Qianguo people where Zhenbei Marquis currently lives.
If you follow Marquis Jingnan, you will definitely be able to go in and watch. To be honest, Gu is quite envious of you. "
"If you want to go see them, can they let you in?"
"Oh, I hope the scenery you see here is so interesting."
"However, half a year ago..."
"Right. According to external reports, this newly built manor house was built to welcome the Queen to visit the Queen. However, just before the construction started, the Marquis of Zhenbei was recalled to the capital by several imperial edicts."
"Really."
"So, the Tian family said that what they built was the Queen's Provincial Courtyard, that is, the Provincial Courtyard. You can't say that they knew this day would come, so they built the Jingnan Prince's Mansion in advance, right?"
"I feel like these people are all old foxes."
"None of the powerful family heads are stupid, but the smarter they are, the more disadvantageous they will be to me, Dayan." There was a hint of resentment in the voice of the sixth prince.
Apparently, the butt determines the head.
His father had tortured him thousands of times, but his surname was Ji after all, and he had the blood of the Dayan royal family flowing through him.
That is to say, in front of Zheng Fan, he can show his true emotions without restraint. In front of others, he is just an idle prince who waits to die to earn a little money.
Zheng Fan nodded and said:
"Yes, the Jin State is currently in internal strife, with three major clans vying for power and coercing the royal family; the Qian State is decaying and has no ambition and power to make progress; the Chu State seems to have closed its doors. The sleeping lion, despite its vast territory, is covered in lice. The barbarian royal court is already at its most decadent stage in history."
The Sixth Prince took a deep breath, nodded and said:
"Yes, one cannot be without foresight. At present, relying on these possessions and these iron cavalry, I, Dayan, can still prevent the barbarians and the other three countries from making trouble.
But if we wait for the barbarian royal court to rise again, wait for the Qian Kingdom to have an iron-fisted prime minister to suddenly start to revive, wait for the internal strife in Jin to end, and wait for the Chu Kingdom to suddenly have a heroic leader.
Then where will I, Dayan, be placed? "
"Don't be excited, don't be excited." Zheng Fan patted the sixth prince on the shoulder and said, "This is why I chose to assist you, because you have the world in mind, and because you can see the long term."
The Sixth Prince sniffed, as if trying to look touched.
However, he failed. In the end, he gave up a little on himself and said:
"It's fake."
"The truth hurts so much."
"Then stop talking and stop."
"But I can't hide anything from you."
"To shut up."
"Only a prince like you, a down-and-out prince, who has such a bad record, can like me, a former miscellaneous school captain. If it is other powerful princes, who will look down on me?"
"Bitch!"
…………
"Have you finished talking?"
When Zheng Fan came back, Marquis Jingnan happened to be wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.
"That's it. It's been a long time since we last met, so I've had a lot to say."
"Ah."
Marquis Jingnan stood up and walked downstairs.
Zheng Fan naturally followed behind.
When Marquis Jingnan walked downstairs, the guards were already ready at the entrance of Quande Building Roast Duck Restaurant.
Marquis Jingnan's highly-blooded beast was lying there taking a nap. It seemed to have sensed Marquis Jingnan's aura. It opened its eyes and stood up slowly.
Marquis Jingnan stood at the threshold, not in a hurry to go out, but suddenly asked:
"Tell me, where should we go next?"
"The Lord Marquis has a heart for the world, and I don't dare to make wild guesses despite my humble position."
"Okay, then let's go find Wei Zhonghe."
"Master Hou, I think Master Hou will enter the palace to face the saint."
Marquis Jingnan shook his head and said:
"Holy face, don't be in a hurry. Your Majesty only ordered me to return to the capital, but did not order me to enter the palace."
This means that the guess was wrong.
"Then the Marquis is going home? I heard that he just celebrated his birthday."
"I have already missed my father's birthday. If I go back earlier or later, I will miss it."
Does this mean I guessed wrong again?
Zheng Fan fell silent.
If you don’t go to the palace and don’t go home, where else can you go?
Go to a nunnery to find your sweetheart who has been waiting for you for a long time?Is the sweetheart still Du Juan's biological sister?
I can fucking guess the flowers for you, but I dare not tell you.
This book sounds like someone who can't draw.
"Keep guessing."
"Master Marquis, I have such a humble position. I really can't guess."
Marquis Jingnan turned around and looked at Zheng Fan, his voice suddenly rose and he asked:
"Zheng Shoubei."
"The end is here!"
Zheng Fan immediately knelt down on one knee.
"Do you know why I brought you to Beijing specifically?"
"The last general is stupid, the last general is ignorant."
Zheng Fan knew that this was a formal question and answer. Marquis Jingnan returned to Beijing, and at such a tense moment, all forces must be watching here.
Any disturbance here will be passed on immediately.
This loud question and answer standing at the door,
It is somewhat similar to the ancient emperor's daily notes or the formal memorial to the emperor and his ministers.
When ancient emperors usually made such requests, the monarchs and ministers would immediately sit upright and ask questions seriously, because they knew that what they said next would be recorded in daily notes and included in history books. People in a hundred years and thousands of years can still read them. Today's performance is correct.
"Zheng Shoubei, although you are not from the Jingnan Army, I ask you, you are my soldier!"
"Returning to the Marquis, if the Marquis had not led the army to rescue him that day, the general would have died in the army of thieves. The Marquis had a life-saving grace for the general.
The last general is the Marquis’s soldier! "
These words were a bit shameless and quite taboo.
Because the content of the words has violated a certain kind of political correctness. For example, in ancient times, before doing anything, civil servants and generals had to shout that this is your Majesty’s world, you are your Majesty’s subjects, and in front of you are your Majesty’s people and country, and any future generations. Everything must be preceded by the name of the people.
The Marquis of Jingnan actually asked a Yan State local fort garrison if they were his soldiers. It is estimated that the censor will write a letter of impeachment tomorrow.
But since Marquis Jingnan asked this question, Zheng Fan just replied like this.
"Okay, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion once said in the desert that any barbarian tribe that dares to invade the people of Beifeng County will be exterminated by the Zhenbei Army's cavalry!
I, Tian Wujing, I, the Marquis of Jingnan, I, the Jingnan Army,
I admit that I really don’t have the unparalleled feats of Zhenbei Houfu to suppress the desert barbarians for hundreds of years.
But there is one thing,
I can still put down a sentence,
That is,
Those who dare to kill the soldiers under my command secretly without any reason,
I, and all the officers and men of the Jingnan Army,
He must be punished! "
Just as Marquis Jingnan finished speaking,
Hundreds of Jingnan Army soldiers and their personal guards on the street raised their weapons and shouted:
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
Marquis Jingnan walked to his brave beast and turned over it.
The brave beast straightened its hooves and breathed out burning white mist.
Marquis Jingnan looked at Zheng Fan who was still kneeling there.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Now do you know where I am going next?"
Zheng Fan, who was kneeling on the ground, was a little confused.
Marquis Jingnan raised the whip in his hand, and Pi beast raised his front hooves and stamped hard, causing the green bricks under his feet to shatter.
"Jingnan Army, take the order from me!"
"Shh! Shh!"
All the soldiers knelt down on one knee, with a solemn and murderous air!
Marquis Jingnan’s face was as sinking as water and he said:
"revenge!"
