The devil is coming

Chapter 218
The chaos in Jin's capital had been calmed down after dawn. To be precise, except for the fact that Yu Huacheng led nearly two thousand Jin soldiers in an attempt to "do their best to obey fate" to turn the tide and create some trouble for the Yan army. After Huacheng was beheaded by Liang Cheng with a sword, 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 Dayan for about the same age, the word "Jin" has been completely trampled into the muddy sewage after experiencing many ups and downs.
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 and resist one after another, because the Jin royal family had actually been conquered by the three major families in the previous decades. The empty space was already wasted. It only maintained 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 and looked at the Queen Mother who had not slept, and couldn't help but curiously said:
"Queen Mother, can you hold it in so well?"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she glared at Zheng Fan angrily.
Needless to say, the relationship between the two had become much more harmonious after last night. Normally, the Queen Mother had to put on airs to maintain her image of being calm and self-reliant, but in front of Zheng Fan, a rogue and arrogant man, she knew that None of this is of use. I have been wearing a mask for too long and it was torn to pieces last night. On the contrary, I can get used to seeing people with my true face.
"Okay, is there a spittoon in the house? That thing where you can pee 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 incense 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.
"Lord."
"Are they okay?" Zheng Fan stepped forward and grabbed Siniang's hand and asked.
The Queen Mother frowned slightly when she saw Zheng Fan holding the hand of a fair and tender soldier, but she soon felt relieved.
Just like if your father smokes and your grandfather smokes, or if 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 accepting of this hobby.
"A Cheng was slightly injured trying to kill Yu Huacheng, but the others are fine."
"That's fine, that's fine."
Si Niang cast her eyes on the Queen Mother. After seeing the Queen Mother’s handsome appearance, Si Niang covered her mouth and smiled:
"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 outside.
Sent to the palace?
Zheng Fan immediately understood the meaning and said to Siniang:
"Look at her."
Immediately, Zheng Fan said to the Queen Mother:
"She is a woman, don't be embarrassed, right?"
The Queen Mother looked at Si Niang with some surprise: Woman?
Outside, there were Jingnan Army soldiers surrounding her, and inside, there were four mothers guarding her. Zheng Fan believed that nothing unexpected could happen to the Queen Mother.
After saying that, Zheng Fan hurried out of the palace, got on his horse and asked the soldier who came to report earlier:
"Where is Lord Hou?"
"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 headed towards the main entrance from here, 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 is that the outer city of the original imperial palace has become a residential building. To a certain extent, the area of ​​the imperial palace has been greatly reduced, which is similar to the Forbidden City in later generations.
In the small square in front of the Zhenghe Hall, Zheng Fan saw the team escorting Marquis Jingnan, led by Ren Juan himself. There were hundreds of soldiers around. In the center was a Pixiu, and a man could be seen leaning on Pixiu's back. .
"Master Hou!!!"
Zheng Fan certainly knew why Jingnan Marquis stayed alone in the suburbs last night, and during the entire offensive last night, there was no news from the Jin Sword Master, which was enough to show that the Sword Master went to find the Marquis.
"Lord Hou, Lord Hou!"
Zheng Fan turned over and dismounted 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" and then "choking" with a difficulty coefficient of 3.7.
Unexpectedly, Marquis Jingnan on Pixiu suddenly raised his head and looked at Zheng Fan who was running over.
Huh?
Ok?
Zheng Fan subconsciously slowed down,
Not in danger?
Not dying?
No vomiting blood?
Marquis Jingnan opened his mouth and 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 severely injured by the Sword Master, and was even close to being killed.
The biggest difference between a martial artist and a swordsman is that a martial artist can "bathe" in a sea of ​​soldiers, but a swordsman is invincible in single combat.
Looking at Jingnan Hou'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 Jingnan Hou. Not only his fighting skills were worthy of being called a military god, but also his personal strength was so strong. If he didn't have the stain of destroying his entire family...
"Ren Juan."
"Master Hou, the end is here!"
"For the next thing, you assist Zheng Chengshou."
Next, it is natural to make money.
The Yan State does not plan to send troops to stop the Jin State's capital area, because the new land on the Yan State's side has not been fully digested, so there is no need to bite off more than it can chew. At the same time, there is also a small gap between the Yan State and the Situ family. In the buffer zone, Yan State can continue to retain Xinsu City as the boundary.
But the wealth here must not be let go. Zheng Fan needs money, and so does the Marquis of Jingnan. With weapons, encouragement before the war, rewards after the war, and maintenance of rule on weekdays, this money can be said to be a waste of money. Like flowing water.
"The last will obey!"
This job fell to Zheng Fan.
Of course, Zheng Fan is just an intermediary, and he will definitely subcontract this job in the future.
Moreover, Zheng Fan believed that Siniang and the blind man would be more comfortable with their skills in keeping accounts and pockets due to their training 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 Marquis, please go in and rest first. I will send someone to invite the best doctor here." Ren Juan reminded.
Marquis Jingnan said nothing.
Ren Juan silently signaled the team to continue moving forward, and Zhenghe Hall 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. It is not a large hall and is not a place for court meetings. However, it is the place where the Jin emperor and his close ministers held small meetings, and it also served as the imperial study room.
When Ren Juan heard this, he immediately glared at Zheng Fan.
"Ren Juan."
Marquis Jingnan spoke.
"Master Hou?"
"Although I just had a fight with the Sword Master of Jin, I can still do it by twisting your head off now."
"Master Marquis, if you give me your head, I can personally cut it off and deliver it to you! It was General Mo who was negligent."
Marquis Jingnan closed his eyes, not knowing whether it was due to injury or because he didn't want to talk.
Ren Juan could only wave his hand, signaling the team to change direction and go to the side hall on the west side.
Zheng Fan continued to follow,
After being settled down, Marquis Jingnan waved his hand and said:
"You all go and do your work, I will take care of myself."
Only then did everyone retreat.
When he walked outside, Ren Juan looked at Zheng Fan and said:
"I was negligent just now, but thank you Zheng Chengshou for reminding me."
Zheng Fan immediately raised his hands and saluted and responded:
"It is understandable that Sir Ren is exhausted after a night of fighting and is not thinking clearly 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.
Zhenghe Hall was a place that could only be used by the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, and it had a strong symbolic meaning of imperial power. After Jingnan Marquis moved in, once this matter spread to Yanjing, interested people would definitely make a fuss about it.
If it were before, 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: "Sit on my dragon chair and see how it compares with Emperor Jin's." Look, which one is more comfortable?
Originally, this was nothing.
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 Marquis Jingnan hinted to himself that there might be something wrong with Emperor Yan’s body.
Once this guess is true,
So an emperor in the prime of life and an emperor with physical problems,
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 soldiers, and the guerrillas, who would not want to To become a Conglong Gong?
"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:
"Sir, it is precisely because he is one of our own that the general has no choice but to remind him."
"What do you mean?"
At Ren Juan's signal, the surrounding soldiers had dispersed, so there was no need to worry about anyone eavesdropping.
"What is your purpose for 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 should know what kind of person the Marquis is. It is not an exaggeration to describe the Marquis as being loyal to the country and the pillar of the country.
Mr. Hou, I will not rebel! "
"that's it?"
"Sir, the test you just conducted shows that the Marquis is really capable of killing people."
"Oh, I'm not afraid of death."
"But it's not worth dying like this."
"Oh? Not worth it? Then what do you think is worth it?"
"Sir, this should be done. This is a great contribution. Why do you think about eating alone? Besides, can you eat it alone?"
"so what should I do now?"
"My lord, don't be impatient. Just listen to what I have to say. If you do this alone, the Marquis will definitely kill you for the sake of the country as a warning to others.
After all, my lord, although you are the commander-in-chief, I, Dayan, will not collapse without you as the commander-in-chief. "
"..." Ren Juan.
"Sir, you should bury these thoughts and meanings in your heart first, and don't show them casually. This is a big deal, not about marriage. All kinds of etiquette follow the rhythm and sequence step by step.
Your Excellency, you can take your time to contact other commander-in-chiefs of the Jingnan Army, the guerrilla generals, and trustworthy people. Then they can contact the guerrilla generals, city guards, and many others from their own ranks. Lieutenant Colonel.
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 we do?
At least the main force of the Jingnan Army must be by the Marquis' side. "
"Tell me quickly, what will you do after contacting me?"
Zheng Fan took a deep breath,
Road:
"Everyone rushed forward and put a dragon robe directly on the Marquis. Then, from you and many general soldiers to thousands of Jingnan soldiers, they knelt down and shouted in unison:
Long live my emperor Long live Long live! "
