Several accompanying lieutenants were also speechless. They were originally surrendered generals from the Northern Han Kingdom.

"I've heard rumors about the Qin Army back then. They've been fighting everywhere these years. I thought it might be exaggerated. Now that I've seen it, I feel that the reputation is well-deserved..."

Everyone fell silent. Until then, they also realized that the taste of surrender was not pleasant. Neither Qin Jun nor the former comrades in arms on the opposite side looked at them so friendly.

When Qin Jun passed by occasionally, some people would nod to them, but most of them turned a blind eye.

"I knew I would have been killed by Qin Jun..." someone murmured.

"What nonsense, what will you do if you die?" Yang Jiye said. Fortunately, his home is in the east of the city. When the Qin army broke the city, he followed him in. He was afraid that his family would be killed. Fortunately, everything was dusty afterwards. It's settled, everyone in the family is fine.

Only then did he heave a sigh of relief, he didn't dare to die now even for the sake of his family, the lieutenant general stopped talking.

Yang Jixun said quickly: "People fight for breath, if we want them not to see it that way, we need to fight by ourselves." Yang Jiye said, "Everyone is angry in their hearts, but don't think about why Qin Jun's nostrils are up.

It was won one after another, including Shu, Chu, Jingzhou, Tang, Liao, and us.

If we want others to look up to us, we must first strive for ourselves..."

The lieutenant and entourage beside him stopped talking, with some hesitation in their expressions, and their eyes flickered as they looked at the other side of the river.

He understands everyone's thoughts, it's not that they don't want to prove themselves, it's not that they don't want to show the new emperor a good fight, but on the other side of the Fen River, many are their brothers and relatives...

"Yang Dushi, why don't you tell His Majesty, let's go to the north to fight the Khitan people. Wherever I go, I will show them how powerful the Hedong man is even if I go all out." Someone suggested.

After a while, many people looked at him, and some avoided him. Not all of them wanted to fight the Khitans, some wanted to win, and some didn't care.

Yang Jiye thought for a while: "That's right, I'll talk to the officials when I find a chance."

.......

On the other side of the Fen River, the shadow of fear enveloped the west of the city, and an uneasy atmosphere permeated the night.

Taiyuan has lost half of it...

From the outer gate to the inner gate avenue of the imperial city, there are guards in iron armor everywhere. The commander of the horse infantry, Guo Wanchao, personally sits on the tower of the outer gate of the imperial city to command, and the soldiers patrolling day and night.

The figures of people coming and going in and out of the imperial city were chaotic, and they were always in a hurry.

In the main hall, the main hall of the imperial palace, the lord Liu Jun was in great grief and tears. More than [-] important ministers, civil and military, were waiting in front of the hall, and there were more officials around him.

Liu Jun is in poor health and has no children so far. Because of this, his harem is also simple and not many.

"The fortified city that I worked so hard to build, the fortified city that was besieged by Zhou Shizong's [-] troops at the beginning, has only blocked Shi Congyun for two days!

Did I make a big mistake, and will God punish me? "Liu Jun's voice was sad and desolate, indescribably lonely, and his whole person was haggard.

The prince Liu Jien next to him also had no idea, so he could only cry along with him.

The father and son cried, and among the many courtiers waiting at the gate of the hall, none answered.

After a while, two armored men came in pushing a scribe with disheveled hair and beard. The prince rushed up and kicked and beat him, crying while beating, and yelling, "You dog thief, traitor!" stop.

The person who was escorted in turned out to be Guo Wuwei, one of the country's prime ministers.

Liu Jun looked at Guo Wuwei, who was caught in a panic, and said sharply: "I treat you well, and I also invite you with great courtesy. I promised you a high official and generous salary, why did you defect!"

Facing the harsh questioning, many civil and military officers nearby lowered their heads a little, as if they were the ones who were questioning them.

At noon today, Prime Minister Guo Wuwei wanted to lead his family across the Fen River to the east of the city to surrender to the Qin army, but was denounced by his servants.

The lord was furious and sent the forbidden army to arrest him. Soon Guo Wuwei's family was blocked by the Fen River. Except for his whole family of more than ten members, including the youngest two-year-old daughter, all were killed.

Facing the questioning, Guo Wuwei sighed weakly: "Your Majesty, why bother to ask, the military songs of the Qin army can be heard in the palace, and they invaded Taiyuan City in two days. At this time, if you can't protect yourself, what can we do? Birds and beasts also know that they are greedy for life, let alone people in the world, they just want to live.

We can't fight Shi Congyun's, the destiny is set, the world will be in chaos for a long time, who else can rule?

Dao follows nature, going against heaven will not end well..."

"You!" Liu Jun was so angry that he couldn't speak, so he quickly said in a low voice: "Kill him, kill him quickly, don't listen to the evil words to confuse the crowd, right here, I want to see him die!"

The soldiers of the imperial army moved swiftly, kicked Guo Wuwei to the knees, and pushed him to the ground like an animal waiting to be slaughtered. Guo Wuwei did not resist at all.

Raised the knife in his hand and dropped it, the head rolled several times, the blood was all over the ground, and the concubines in the palace screamed in fright.

When Liu Jun saw the blood, he felt happy and laughed, but he couldn't hide his helplessness and fear, so he laughed a few times and burst into tears.

"Tell me, tell me what you can do now..."

The hall was very quiet, no one spoke, Guo Wuwei's body was cleaned up, the blood was not dry, and no one dared to speak.

"Are you all dumb!"

Zhao Huari came out, "Your Majesty, we still have envoys from the Qin State in our hands. They were sent by Li Yun back then. Maybe they can help spread the message..."

As soon as the words came out, the hall was quiet for a while, and everyone knew the meaning of the words.

"The country of our Liu family, the foundation of our ancestors, is it going to be buried in my hands..." Liu Jun wailed, and immediately passed out covering his head.

Everyone was in a hurry, and even stepped forward to check.

There were also people who took advantage of the night and the panic, and quietly withdrew...

.......

It wasn't until dawn that Liu Jun slowly woke up.

When he woke up, there were quite a few people waiting outside, not even the Crown Prince Liu Ji'en, so he asked with difficulty: "What's going on outside?"

The twenty people who were still in the hall did not answer.

In the end, Zhao Rihua came out, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, before dawn today, the Qin army began to attack the west of the city. Zhang Huan and Feng Jinke died in battle..."

Liu Jun hurriedly asked, "Where's Shi Bin?"

"I don't know whereabouts yet, the west of the city is in chaos."

"Where's Guo Wanchao? Where is Guo Wanchao! Tell him to gather all the soldiers and horses outside the imperial city to defend against Shi Congyun for me!"

Zhao Rihua sighed: "Your Majesty, Guo Wanchao... has surrendered to the Qin army, and the Qin army has entered the imperial city."

Liu Junru was struck by lightning, and then he wanted to struggle to stand up, but the only eunuch who hadn't escaped even supported him and struggled to get up.

Everyone remained silent, knowing in their hearts that the Northern Han Kingdom had perished...

Liu Jun walked out of the hall, outside were hundreds of guards from the imperial guards with tense expressions guarding the door, and at the gate of the palace more than a hundred steps away, there were black armored Qin soldiers, densely packed, and they had already surrounded them.

Looking up, the flags of Qin State fluttered on the four corners of the imperial city, and there was a large amount of bright red blood stains on the white jade bricks in the distance, which was particularly conspicuous. It must have been a battle, and there were many corpses piled up.

Qin Jun surrounded the hall but didn't come close, just watched from a distance.

Liu Jun looked at Qin Jun who surrounded them heavily, with empty eyes, and asked, "Where is the prince?"

"Dead..." A soldier pointed to the pile of corpses in the distance, and the pale prince was inside, "He wanted to escape, so someone told him that the Qin army's bow and crossbow don't have eyes." , but the crown prince is in a hurry."

Liu Jun raised his head and looked at the dark Qin army in the distance, like a fortified wall, making him breathless.

"They don't come here, what are they waiting for..." someone whispered.

"Wait until we surrender, or wait for someone."

Everyone swallowed, and had similar guesses in their hearts.

"Waiting......"

"Maybe....."

"..."

After a long time, the formidable Qin army in the distance suddenly moved. They all moved out of the way, and saw a loud voice riding on horseback in the distance, slowly approaching the back of the hall.

He was clad in armor, and his shiny shoulder glistened in the sun.

Behind him was a Senhan iron cavalry accompanying him, his whole body wrapped in thick iron armor, with a ferocious bronze animal mask on his face, and there was nothing leaking out of his whole body.

No matter whether they were officials or soldiers, they couldn't help stretching their necks to look at it. Everyone knew in their hearts that it must be the legendary character Shi Congyun. The huge Luan behind him was only qualified by the emperor of Qin.

I saw him slowing down his horse and coming slowly, followed by the animal-faced guard behind him, and many soldiers of the Qin Army also followed with neat steps, and the sound of neat footsteps was separated by more than a hundred steps. It was frightening to hear.

As the legendary figure and the army behind him got closer and closer, everyone couldn't help breathing quickly, and their hands and feet trembled.

His power, his terror, his cruelty, his lust, his bravery, his combat prowess... all kinds of rumors and stories, all kinds of earth-shattering deeds, seem to come with him majestic and vast , Every step I take makes my heart tremble and my knees feel weak.

I don't know who was nervous, and suddenly dropped the knife on the ground, making a loud bang, and then others followed suit, throwing away their weapons one after another, knelt on the ground unevenly.

Hundreds of forbidden soldiers all dropped their weapons and prostrated on the ground in a short time. No one from Wenwu and Liu Jun in the rear spoke, and many people had sweat on their foreheads, looking left and right.

When the tall figure in the distance walked within fifty steps, someone couldn't bear it anymore and knelt down with a plop.

This kneeling seemed to be contagious, and many civil and military people around also bowed in the direction of the emperor of Qin.

When Emperor Qin and the armored guards around him stopped more than ten steps outside the main hall, only three people stood in front of him.

Liu Jun, supported the eunuch Liu Jun, and the prime minister Zhao Huari.

Qin Emperor Shi Congyun looked at the three of them condescendingly, standing in front of hundreds of people who were prostrate on the ground, and asked in a stern voice: "Since you have seen the emperor, why don't you worship?"

Zhao Huari bowed his hands and saluted, his legs and lips were trembling, but he never knelt down, "The king is right behind him, so there is no reason to worship the king of another country."

Liu Jun over there did not speak.

Shi Congyun glanced at him: "You were once the lord of a country, I beg you to spare your life."

Liu Jun's face changed for a while, and finally he bowed slowly with the support of the old eunuch: "Meet the emperor of China..."

Shi Congyun laughed loudly, pointed at Zhao Huari and said, "Look now, where is your lord? There will be no more Han kingdoms in the world, and this is my Daqin's Taiyuan Mansion!"

Chapter 341: Empress Dowager Fu's Situation

"Don't look at them when you talk, your eyes should be one foot higher than them, look at their heads, don't look at people.

Those who study in the court are okay, but many of them who have been fighting all the year round are vicious and fierce, maybe they will scare you and lose their majesty. "In the small courtyard of Kunning Palace, Empress Dowager Fu was sitting opposite Sixth Sister, teaching her a lot about being a queen.

Fu Ermei also sat with her for a while, but soon she couldn't sit still, and ran to find the maid next to her.

"Officials also fight wars, but they are never fierce." Sixth Sister said, when talking about officialdoms, her eyes were shining brightly.

"Silly girl..." Empress Dowager Fu thought to herself, don't look at him not being mean to you, but he's really bad...

He said, "Of course the officials are different. They are the most powerful figures in the world. Others are different. If you think bad of them, it's good for you."

Sixth Sister seems to understand but not understand, Empress Dowager Fu thought, Sixth Sister is still young, and she has never experienced wars, never escaped from death, and has always been held in the palm of the hand and protected by the officials. I understand, but after thinking about it, I suddenly felt sour.

Thinking of how she was married into Hezhong all the way, but just after she passed, the Li family rebelled, and after that, there was more than a year of war, and she hadn't experienced her husband's care. After that, the Li family was defeated, and the whole family died. She also nearly died.

Later, she was married to Emperor Shizong of the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the emperor just married her a widow who had been married, but she had no heirs for several years.

Thinking about the sixth younger sister, thinking about how the officials cared for her, before leaving, she had to be taken care of by Luqiu Zhongqing, Wang Zhong and others, leaving Zhaoyuan (Fu Zhaoyuan) to protect her, and let her and Zhao Shijian take care of her in the palace. Thinking, Sixth Sister is really blessed.

But suddenly thinking about her and the official family, I was flustered, and I didn't have time to be jealous. I just felt guilty and sorry for Liumei, so I wanted to treat her better...

While thinking wildly, Empress Dowager Fu earnestly taught her own experience to the sixth younger sister: "You can't ask people when you are talking, just tell them. You like to say to Lin Shanggong and the others on weekdays, 'Can you help me get some tea?'" Let me get some candied fruit', I can't say this kind of thing in the future.

You are a queen, except for the official family, the sixth sister is the most honorable. You can just say 'get tea' and 'get preserves', don't say please.

The same is true for ministers outside, don't say please, don't ask them, just let them do it. "

"But if you don't understand, what should you do if you make a mistake?" Sixth Sister was puzzled.

"If you don't understand, let them say it, and you can't admit it if you're wrong. Most of the time, they don't understand. Except for those prime ministers, others rarely dare to refute.

If several prime ministers refute, let him say..."

Sixth Sister listened carefully, her beautiful brows were frowned, and her little hands were tightly holding the corners of her clothes, obviously very serious.

Empress Dowager Fu thought to herself, in fact, the second younger sister is the most similar to her, but the sixth younger sister is not quite like them, because the age is far behind, but the sixth younger sister is good-looking and more lively.

After talking for a while, she said that she wanted to test Liumei and asked her to repeat what she had said.

Sixth Sister's memory is not bad, but when she can't say it out, she will sneak into her arms coquettishly, trying to get past her coquettishly.

Empress Dowager Fu even stopped her tricks: "You are not allowed to act like a baby, you are a queen, and you are the mother of the world. You will not be allowed to do this in the future."

"Ah..." Sixth Sister was a little disappointed.

Seeing her disappointed expression and her beautiful eyes looking at her with expectation, Empress Fu had no choice but to let go: "You can't do that in front of outsiders..."

Sixth Sister quarreled with her for a while, then started again, then stopped on her chest, and said in disbelief, "Sister, yours seems to have grown up?"

Empress Dowager Fu blushed and panicked, but she quickly covered it up, "Why, don't talk nonsense, it's because you haven't seen me for a long time, and you almost can't remember, you only have officials in your heart."

As soon as he talked about the official family, Sixth Sister put on a sweet smile on her face, and stopped asking.

After that, Empress Dowager Fu did not continue to teach, and the sixth sister ran to play with the second sister.

She looked at it from a distance, she didn't see the past, she was used to being dignified, and she was actually very envious of Sixth Sister in her heart.
