The devil is coming

Chapter 605 The young Marquis, the past prince
Eunuch Huang came to Fengxin City again. This year, he seemed to be either on his way there or on his way back.
However, when you are in a hurry, you must seize the time to deliver your message;
When you are on your way back, you must seize the time to return to Yanjing to resume your duties. Your Majesty cannot be left waiting in a hurry;
This trip back and forth was too late.
Therefore, Eunuch Huang lost a lot of weight.
"There is a saying that has been circulating in his country that punishment is not enough for a scholar-official, but when he really wants to kill you, why would he care about those bullshit rules?
It is said that there is a saying that if the superiors see someone who is really displeased, they will be demoted to the southwest, and when they are about to arrive, they will be transferred to the northeast, and they will be sent back and forth on the road like this for a certain period of time.
This young man was suffering from an illness;
This old man will have to die on the way to his appointment. "
Because of the weak military power of Qian State, there are many "Qian Guo jokes" spread among the other three major countries.
"That's because Qian Guowen's bones are weak, but Eunuch Huang, your bones are very strong." A follower of the eunuch said flatteringly.
"Haha, tough? If the Zajia hadn't practiced the method of breathing in and nourishing Qi for two years, we might not be able to handle this continuous running. The Zajia understands that the higher-ups are using the Zajia as a good luck charm."
At that time, the imperial court issued an order for King Jingnan to lead the expedition in place of the eldest prince;
Two eunuchs in red robes came to deliver the order one after another. The door of the Hou Mansion was closed tightly. The two eunuchs in red robes, each with a stone lion, were killed one after another.
When it was his turn for Eunuch Huang to go, many colleagues invited him to drink in advance, so I thought it was a gift to you in advance.
When Eunuch Huang arrived at Litian City and was about to gather his strength to hit the steps,
The door of the Hou Mansion opened.
Since then,
As long as the imperial edict was conveyed to King Jingnan alone, it would be his Eunuch Huang who took the initiative.
Good luck!
"It's just that Uncle Pingye, why did he go back to Xueguan Pass just after the battle against Chu? There are still a lot of things to do here in Zhennan Pass.
Hehe, I guess Uncle Hirano probably misses the princess; as the saying goes, since ancient times, heroes have always had a hard time with beauties..."
"Snapped!"
Eunuch Huang slapped the attendant eunuch on the face. The slap had no force and directly broke one of his front teeth.
"How come you dare to say anything out of your mouth, you bastard?" Eunuch Huang cursed angrily, "What kind of person is Uncle Pingye? Just as soon as the imperial edict is issued, he will be the Marquis;
Lord Hou, Lord Hou;
How dare you, a frustrated cat-harnessed thing without Luan Zi, make fun of the Marquis? "
"Eunuch Huang, I was wrong. I don't dare to do it anymore. I don't dare anymore."
"Pull him out and give him ten more lashes."
"Eunuch Huang, Eunuch Huang..."
After the accompanying eunuch was dragged out,
inside the house,
The other eunuchs and attendants did not dare to speak for a while.
Eunuch Huang's eyes slowly swept across the entire audience.
Road:
"Others say that the Zajia family has a good life, but the Zajia family just listens to it, because the Zajia family understands in their hearts that no matter how good your life is, it can't compare to you rushing to the ground to commit suicide!"
……
"I really don't know. You're going to Fengxin City to be granted a title, and you're not going to fight on the battlefield. Why are you dragging me along?"
During a break to eat, the sword master asked.
Like Zheng Fan, the Sword Master had just returned home not long ago, and then Zheng Fan was about to receive his title, and he came calling for him again.
Do not,
To be precise,
Zheng Fan didn't come to call him, and he didn't even come to his door.
But in the name of being entrusted with the new city,
He asked the headmaster of the academy to help him select a few students with the best academic performance and to accompany Uncle Hirano to Fengxin City to receive the title and witness this glorious and great moment.
This is a reward for outstanding students. When these students come back, they will tell their classmates what happened on the day they were awarded the title.
Liu Dahu,
was chosen!
then,
The sword master saw this silly boy in his family running home happily, roaring and screaming to vent his excitement.
"I'm going to Fengxin City!"
"I was chosen to follow my uncle to Fengxin City!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"
The sword master holds his forehead,
On that day, I had to tidy up, put on a veil, picked up Long Yuan who had not yet tiptoed the table to warm it up, and walked into Uncle Zheng's team to Fengxin City.
Seeing the sword master asking,
Uncle Zheng didn’t hide it either.
direct way;
“It’s true that the spring breeze is proud of the horse’s hooves, but in fact, the brighter the door, the higher the threshold, and the easier it is for you to stumble.
We are just being on the safe side, on the safe side. "
Uncle Zheng is a very talented person.
Especially in your own destiny.
There is no way, there are too many people around with the protagonist's script.
Either they can recover as before after being seriously injured, or even have great improvement in their skills;
Either he is almost alone and seeking defeat, unable to kill even the shadow of his totem, and he only wants to die, but cannot do so;
And myself,
Since the military,
I have to be on tenterhooks all the time for fear that I might accidentally receive the lunch box.
The journey from Xueguan to Fengxin City is not very close, but it is really not that far. If we hurry up, it won't take long.
But Uncle Zheng was just afraid that something might happen,
Then he burped on the eve of victory.
It's like the old man fulfilled his lifelong wish and died easily as soon as the camera turned, with a smile on his face.
Uncle Zheng feels that he is still young and has not reached that time yet.
You can't just say to the blind man before leaving home: I think this is the beginning.
Then reality will tell you immediately: it’s over.
"If you are too cautious, how can you improve your career as a martial artist? Physical strength, physical strength, and courage are courage. If you don't have the energy and spirit to support it, what is the courage?"
Uncle Zheng rolled his eyes at the Sword Master,
road;
"If my life is gone, do I want these three souls and six souls to become ghosts?"
The voice just fell,
The magic pill in the armor trembled,
He seemed to think his father's proposal was a good one.
The sword master was helpless and too lazy to speak any more. He could only say that in terms of shamelessness, the Lord Yan Zhun before him was far beyond his level as a martial artist;
Even if he opens the second level, the sword master feels that he can only fall behind in this aspect.
Uncle Zheng drank the water from his saliva bag, looked at Chen Daxia who was squatting next to him eating fried noodles, and said:
"Hero, are you in the fourth rank?"
Master Chen nodded and shook his head.
Uncle Zheng said: "You mean, you have entered the fourth rank, but whether you enter the fourth rank or not, it doesn't mean anything to you?"
Daxia Chen stared at Uncle Zheng with his eyes widened, his face full of shock.
"Are you waiting for me to ask you what you mean by nodding and shaking your head, and then you say what I just said to me again in a low and nonchalant tone?"
The look of shock on Daxia Chen's face became even more intense.
Uncle Zheng shook his head, sighed, and said, "Actually, I also want to advance."
Chen Daxia was somewhat injured internally and could only devour the fried noodles.
Uncle Zheng looked at Daxia Chen again and asked:
"How did you advance so quickly?"
Before Chen Daxia could answer, Uncle Zheng said again:
"I don't know why, but I just practice my sword every day and go up there, right?"
"..." Chen Daxia.
Uncle Zheng looked at the Sword Master again with a helpless expression.
The sword master said: "Chen..."
Uncle Zheng replied quickly:
"Daxia Chen has a pure heart, and I am too distracted by worldly troubles."
"Uh..." Sword Master.
"Actually, I understand all the principles, but it's useless to understand. Take your time. Life is pretty good now. Doesn't Li Liangting have average martial arts skills but he can still sit in the desert?
In time,
we,
No worse than him. "
Uncle Zheng took another sip of water.
Road:
"Have you eaten yet? Let's hurry up. We can only put aside the advancement matters for now. Fortunately, we can advance to the rank."
……
Because he had the motivation to join the imperial family, Uncle Zheng was as motivated as he was when he chased his uncle.
The people of Qian have always called the people of Yan Yan barbarians.
The barbarian here does not refer to blood,
In fact,
The four great countries in the East,
The Zhao Guan family of the Qian Kingdom is actually the least popular. The Ji family, the Yu family, and the Xiong family were all feudal lords of the Xia Dynasty 800 years ago. There is history to follow and they can reflect each other;
Only the Zhao family had a somewhat humble background, so they used their own literati to find a minister named "Zhao" as their ancestor in the history of Daxia, in order to prove that their ancestors were actually related to the other three families. Their ancestors were equal officials in the same dynasty.
But no matter what,
The Gan people mocked the Yan people for not knowing etiquette.
There is nothing wrong with that.
In many things, Yan people do not like trouble, nor do they like fussing, and they can keep things simple;
But no matter how simple it is, it still needs to be taken care of with the dignity it deserves.
Especially now, despite the fact that Dayan is looking at how "the people are in dire straits" at home, externally, by destroying Jin and attacking Chu to deter the barbarians, the largest country in the East has already raised its arrogance;
After becoming wealthy, it is natural to start looking for some rules to decorate the appearance and enhance the ostentation.
Therefore, before entering Fengxin City, Uncle Zheng and his party were stopped.
The people who stopped him were a group of civil servants and their entourage.
Some of them came from Yanjing with Eunuch Huang, and some were borrowed from Yingdu officials who came with them on the way. They were originally from the Ministry of Rites of Dacheng State.
No one can tell clearly,
Why did the general of the Yan State appoint a ceremonial officer from the Jin people to clean up the rules?
But at least,
This ceremonial officer from Jin Dynasty is very capable and pays great attention to details. He studies everywhere and conducts archeology everywhere. He does not use the etiquette rules of Jin Dynasty. He speaks and talks about what happened when Daxia was granted the title of Marquis.
Whether this is actually the case, no one can tell clearly, unless Meng Shou of Chu State is invited here to serve as a consultant;
but,
It's a courtesy,
Those who point a lot, draw a lot, ramble a lot, and quote a lot from other sources.
The sense of ritual also arises,
make,
It's really like that.
After arranging all the rules and precautions for entering Fengxin City tomorrow, this old etiquette officer named Zhu Nian, who is over [-] years old,
Looking at Uncle Zheng again,
asked cautiously;
"Uncle, where is your golden armor?"
"Oh, it was damaged on the battlefield."
"That's a pity. You should bring the gift given by the emperor. By the way, uncle, where is the sword you received from the emperor?"
"I exchanged it with the Emperor of Chu as a token during the peace talks. At that time, I didn't have any tokens that I could use."
The Man Dao was given to my uncle,
But my uncle sent someone back the next day;
It means that as a half-elder, he doesn't have to worry about giving something in return.
But he was afraid of offending Zheng Fan, so Man Dao was secretly sent back.
When Uncle Zheng came out of the customs, Xiong Liqing specifically asked if the princess knew that in this formal occasion where she was granted a title and was a prince, all the gifts given by the emperor should be carried or worn according to etiquette.
But Uncle Zheng has already expanded,
Man Dao, who was sent back by his uncle, was sent directly to Shatuo Queshi to keep him company.
"Tomorrow's etiquette and rules, please take a closer look at it. There are only a few people in Dayan who have made military achievements. Every military meritorious person is a ground-breaking event for Dayan. My uncle must not be careless. ah."
The scene tomorrow will be huge.
Because of the long distance, not many officials from Yanjing came.
Eunuch Huang who announced the decree was accompanied by a Marquis named Ji, who was the younger brother of the current emperor and a member of the clan.
According to the rules of the Dayan clan, when a prince reaches adulthood, he will basically be crowned king;
When their father dies and someone succeeds to the throne among their brothers, the princes will immediately go to court and request that the royal title be removed and that they be granted the title of Duke instead.
After their reigning brother dies and a new king takes the throne, the Dukes surnamed Ji will come to the table again to ask for the removal of the duke and reduce him to a marquis.
After you become a Marquis, it will be calculated as you change from generation to generation, and the number will decrease from generation to generation. It doesn't matter if you are directly related to the Tian family on the Dragon Throne.
After His Majesty the Emperor of Yan succeeded to the throne, he was even more ruthless. When his brother requested to remove the prince's title according to the previous rules, the Emperor of Yan agreed and then jumped to become a marquis.
This suppressed the clan as soon as he came to power. Moreover, following the brilliant and scheming life of Emperor Yan, after his death, the rules he changed would naturally become the new ancestral system.
After all, lowering the salary of the clan is also to save money for the treasury, so that the country can afford less food and wine.
In addition to those who came from Yanjing to announce the decree and observe the ceremony, many officials came from Yingdu. Sun Youdao, the Grand Tutor, came in person, and Prince Ding himself also came;
Originally, some general commanders had already led their troops back to their bases. After hearing the news, they simply led a few guards alone and rushed back to Fengxin City to watch the ceremony and congratulate them.
Although everyone knows that the eldest prince in Nanwang City has been granted the title of Marquis Andong,
But what to say,
The eldest prince's battle formation killed the so-called Zhong Wenmian, who was also the commander-in-chief of the three sides of the Qian Kingdom. It seemed to be a great achievement, but laymen watched the excitement, and experts watched the door. As a man in the army, he naturally understood the battle of defeating Chu. , is the real difficulty!
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about this siege battle. Has Dayan ever really fought it with such fanfare before?
Furthermore, the eldest prince had hoped for Jiang Zhi's defeat earlier. Even if he made new achievements this time, from the perspective of the clan, the prince's transition from a prince to a marquis still felt a little unprofitable.
For people in the military, the clan is the clan. The eldest prince, Marquis Andong, is not regarded as a "marquis of military merit" in the traditional sense. On the contrary, the one on the side of Hirano Bo is a member of the military. a true role model;
after all,
Your surname is not Ji.
Uncle Zheng yawned,
Road:
"Uncle Ben, I understand."
The old ceremony officer took two steps back slightly.
Kneel down,
Salute:
"Your Majesty, please congratulate the Marquis in advance!"
The surrounding officials who came with the old ritual officer to arrange the ceremony also knelt down.
Uncle Zheng smiled and said,
Road:
"Uncle Ben, no..."
I'm not prepared to spend money.
At this time,
Xiao Yibo came out and led a group of guards who were holding small bags filled with golden beans.
Uncle Zheng looked at Xiao Yibo,
Xiao Yibo hurriedly came up and whispered:
"The princess asked her subordinates to prepare it."
Uncle Zheng nodded,
Road:
"Look at the reward."
…………
The next day,
early morning;
early,
Outside Fengxin City,
Tens of thousands of knights from the Jingnan Army Headquarters have already lined up in a large formation.
From the perspective of the Jingnan Army,
Mr. Hirano is actually one of his own family members.
He is the close disciple of his own prince, and he raises the heir apparent. If he is not from his own family, what is he?
In addition, King Jingnan deliberately cultivated him, and even handed over the affairs of the general to Zheng Fan for a period of time, and even established this "family" relationship.
How could Zheng Fan, who was not one of his own, mobilize the Jingnan Army garrison without the prince's order?
winter day,
frost,
King Jingnan, wearing a fur cloak, stood on the city wall.
The King of Jingnan is still the King of Jingnan;
But King Jingnan no longer looks like King Jingnan;
Everyone in the Jingnan Army knew very well that their prince was very weak at this time.
But everyone firmly believes that after a period of cultivation, the prince will become the same prince again.
At this time,
A secret agent Si Qian, who was in charge of security affairs on the way, accompanied the edict-proclaiming team, and slowly walked over.
This is an inconspicuous little official,
But at this time, being able to come here and stand so close to King Jingnan proves that he is extraordinary.
Lu Bing looked at Tian Wujing carefully.
finally,
Slowly said:
"My lord, take care of yourself."
Tian Wujing did not look at him. He still stood there and said calmly:
"What did he want you to say?"
"Yes, your Majesty means that in the future of Dayan, Your Majesty will be the pillar of the sky. His Majesty heard that Your Majesty went into the Chu Palace alone to fight against the Fire Phoenix Spirit, and Long Yan was furious."
"What is he angry about?"
This is a truly taboo statement.
Your Majesty is of course angry that King Jingnan, the God of the Yan Army, does not care about his own safety;
But ask specifically,
There seems to be a kind of
Even the fire phoenix and the Yingdu could not burn Tian Wujing's anger to death.
Lu Bing did not answer. His identity meant that he could only send messages.
There are three people in Dayan, and they can communicate with each other, but no one has the qualifications to figure it out.
for a while,
Lu Bing said:
"Your Majesty, Lu Bing wants to say something of his own."
"You are His Majesty's nanny. Of course you have the right to speak your mind."
Think at the beginning,
When everyone was still young,
Ji Runhao and Li Liangting walked in front, Tian Wujing followed, but at the very back, there was another person who was responsible for carrying the food basket. That person was Lu Bing.
"The prince should have been the youngest, but now he looks like... old."
"My king, am I old?" Tian Wujing asked.
Lu Bing nodded and said, "It seems so."
Tian Wujing was noncommittal;
reach out,
Pointing to the outside of the city,
Pointing to the northeast,
There,
There was a general with a heroic figure, riding Pixiu, and came slowly amidst the cheers of thousands of troops.
"What about him?"
Lu Bing looked over and said,
a long time,
Road:
"You look very much like the prince you used to be."
Uncle Hirano,
He is really very similar to Tian Wujing, who had just been granted the title of Marquis of Jingnan.
Tian Wujing smiled,
He finally looked at Lu Bing,
At the same time, he said very seriously:
"Do not,
He will not live like this king,
Will not. "
