Du Qi's death caused huge waves in Wanping County School, and also made scholars in Peiping have various criticisms of King Yan.

King Yan's killing of officials can be considered as a result of different positions. Zhang Bing and Xie Gui belonged to the imperial court, so there is nothing wrong with killing them.Song Zhong, Ma Xuan and others were unwilling to surrender after being captured. They died to repay the emperor's kindness, and they could also get the name of loyalty.But Du Qi was just a freshman, but he "admonished" King Yan with some fierce words and was killed after a few words, which is too unreasonable.

Zheng Shili, who dared to write a blunt letter to Zhu Yuanzhang in the empty seal case during the Hongwu period, was just exiled, but he was killed directly when he came to Zhu Di.If such a rebellion succeeds, is it a blessing or a curse?

In Wanping County High School, the instruction has repeatedly ordered that the students are not allowed to discuss this matter.Compared with the hot-blooded Lengtouqing, Jiaoyu saw it more clearly. Du Qi really didn't understand King Yan, so he went straight to the point of the gun.If he changed the object of advice, such as the son, he would not die so worthlessly.

When recommending Du Qi back then, there were also concerns in the edict. He was the one who scolded the King of Yan most for not being a minister. He was the first one to respond to the recruitment of talents in the Palace of King Yan.Now it seems that Du Qi's character is fine, what is problematic is his character, which is too upright.

Sigh, still too young.

"It's a pity that this son is talented."

The instructor sat aside and did not answer.What about talent?Everyone died.

Although the county student members were strictly ordered not to talk about this matter, there was still a lot of discussion in private.Some people admired Du Qi's courage to speak out, "Brother Du's actions will definitely leave a name in the history books."Some people think that Du Qi is ignorant of current affairs, and some people think that Du Qi is just trying to gain fame and misjudged King Yan's temper to suffer such a disaster.

In short, there are different opinions and no consensus.

Meng Qinghai hadn't arrived at the county school for many days, and when he returned to Mengjiatun that day, he fell ill and lay weak on the bed.Meng Guangxiao and Meng Liu's entrusted someone to ask for leave from the county school for him, and went to Wanping County to invite a doctor. He took a lot of medicine, but he still didn't feel better.

The doctor had nothing to do, Meng Guangxiao became anxious, and called the doctor a quack doctor. Fortunately, Meng Chongjiu came to persuade him, otherwise the doctors in Wanping County would not set foot in Mengjiatun again.

"Guangxiao, I know you feel sorry for Dalang, but you have seen Dalang like this. This is a heart disease."

Meng Chongjiu experienced the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Hongwu Dynasty, and saw all kinds of things in the world. He could tell at a glance that Meng Qinghai's illness was not simple.

"Be more enlightened about everything, and you will be selected as a scholar at the age of a weak crown, and you will be a top-notch in the field. There is nothing you can't think about. Even if you can't take the provincial examination this year, why not wait for three years?"

Meng Chongjiu held his hands behind his back, Meng Guangxiao's family behaved improperly, but they couldn't write two Meng characters in one stroke, no matter how distant they were, they were still relatives.Twelve men can understand the truth, how could Meng Chongjiu not know?

"Haosheng persuade Dalang, how can I be worthy of my parents after such a tossing? There is no difficulty in this world. Look at Twelve Lang now, and then look at Shiro. A few days ago, Shiro didn't write a letter, but said he also made a small flag? "

"Yes."

Meng Guangxiao responded repeatedly, sent Meng Chongjiu away, turned around to look at Meng Qinghai, and finally couldn't help but shed tears.

Could it be that he was plotting against his brother, killing people and taking their property, and bullying orphans and widows, God couldn't see it, so the retribution would be on his son?

He only has two sons, and Shiro has been divorced from his family since he went to the frontier fortress. It was he who was sorry for his son, which made Shiro resentful.Da Lang is like this now, what should he do if there is an emergency?

Meng Guangxiao regretted it. If he had known today, he would never have pushed Meng Guangzhi and his two nephews to a dead end, let alone persecuted that school of orphans and widows.

Looking at Meng Qinghai who was lying on the bed, getting thinner and thinner day by day, Meng Liu could not cry, "Da Lang, my son! You are killing your father and mother by doing this!"

Meng Qinghai's wife was standing at the door with a bowl of soup and medicine, and she kept crying when she heard her mother-in-law crying.Thinking of what mother said when she came to the house before, she bit her lips tightly.

In any case, she is already a member of the Meng family, and as long as the head of the family is still alive, there is absolutely no reason to remarry.Twelve Lang's two sister-in-laws can take care of their mother-in-law and daughter, so what's the matter if her husband-in-law is still alive and wants to remarry?Do you want to lose face?

Her husband's family didn't treat her badly, even if they knew that her parents were thinking of her, they couldn't do so.At least she can't implicate the younger siblings' marriage because of her. There is an elder sister who remarried because her husband was seriously ill. Who would talk to his family if word spread?

Not to mention that Meng Qinghai's illness can still be cured, even if it is impossible, she will stand by him for three years. Thinking of this, Xiao Liu finally made up her mind, "Father, mother, the medicine is ready."

Meng Guangxiao's family was gloomy, but Meng Wang and his two daughters-in-law received two copper coins, dozens of catties of rice noodles, and half a leaf of mutton from Meng Qing and his trustee.

The messenger drove the ox cart, and not only delivered things to Meng Wang's family, Meng Chongjiu's family also got the grain and two cotton cloths brought back by Meng Hu.

"The rice noodles and mutton are rewarded by the prince, and they are exchanged for the crops produced by the granted land." Sitting in the hall, Meng Wang unfolded Meng Qinghe's letter, and was relieved to learn that his son had been promoted again and was still working by the prince's side. .

Fortune tellers, monks and Taoists in Beiping City often visited the countryside, and even the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Meng Wang family who closed their doors and could hardly leave the yard often heard that the King of Yan was the real dragon emperor, who should rule the world.The Yan army's successive battles and victories against the imperial army have confirmed this point.If Twelve Lang can be reused by the son of King Yan, he will surely have the merits of following the dragon in the future.Every time I think of this, Meng Wang can't help but shed tears. The head of the family died too early, and the two eldest sons are also unlucky, leaving behind a widow and young son. It is not easy for Twelve Lang to support the family. .

"Mother, what did my uncle say in the letter?" Meng Xu and Meng Zhang counted the rice and grain together, sent the mutton to the kitchen, and there were two small bags of pepper and sugar cubes, which made the two sisters-in-law overjoyed. "Didn't the previous letter say to go home before the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Meng Wang shook her head, "I'm afraid it won't work."

"What?" Mrs. Meng Zhang also raised her head, "But something happened?"

"Twelve Lang didn't say it clearly." Meng Wang unfolded the second page, looked at the content on the paper, and his expression gradually changed, "For the Balang family, let the third sister go to invite Uncle Jiu, and said that there is something at home, please discuss it with Uncle Jiu .”

Meng Xu was stunned for a moment, seeing her mother-in-law's serious expression, she didn't dare to ask more questions, and immediately asked the third sister, who was holding a small piece of candy, to go quickly.

The third sister readily agreed, and the fifth sister also followed, Meng Wang didn't stop her, and the two sisters left the courtyard together.

Meng Xu and Meng Zhang sent the rice noodles to the warehouse together, and they just glanced at the two copper coins and didn't bother.Nowadays, the money, rice and food in the family are all entrusted to my uncle, so it is natural for my mother-in-law to keep it safe.

Meng Wang put the copper coins in the box and waited for Meng Chongjiu to come to the door. Thinking about what Meng Qinghe wrote in the letter, he felt a little nervous.

It is not difficult to persuade the tribe to erect earthen walls around the village and build suspension bridges and wooden doors. In the troubled times of the past three to forty years, the north was often invaded by Tartars. King Yan is now at war with the imperial court, and this is also for self-protection.

But why is it necessary to write "Long Live, Long Live, Emperor Taizu Gao" on wooden sign paper, hang it on the wall, and stick it on the door?

Although he couldn't figure it out, Meng Wang would never object to what Meng Qinghe was going to do.The purpose of inviting Meng Chongjiu here is to discuss a countermeasure and persuade the tribe.

In fact, what Meng Qinghe mentioned in his letter imitated Tie Xuan's method of guarding Jinan.Zhu Di personally led troops to attack Jinan. He was planning to bombard Jinan for several days. At that time, Tie Xuan, who participated in politics in Shandong, ordered the erection of "Taizu Gaodi's Divine Card" on the top of the city. Even if the products were fake and inferior, Zhu Di did not dare to act rashly , Not to dare to fire, but had no choice but to retreat, in order to keep Jinan City.

Meng Qinghe's family leave was canceled and he couldn't go home, so he simply wrote to the Meng Wang family and asked the family to arrange it.

This is not for one family, but for the whole family, and the whole Mengjiatun can benefit.He specifically stated that part of the money and food sent back to the family will be handed over to the clan, and he believes that the clan will not have too many voices of opposition.

Meng Qinghe had been to Tiegong Temple, heard about Tie Xuan's deeds, and even sighed for this loyal minister of Jianwen who was put into the frying pan by Zhu Di.

The king of Yan dared not bombard his father with a fake tablet, and the generals of the southern army dared to ignore "Long live the emperor Taizu Gao"?Obviously impossible.

Meng Qinghe kept this "favor" in his heart, and he would always have to repay him one or two in the future.

Meng Chongjiu had read Meng Qinghe's letter, and immediately invited the clan elders after returning home. Most of the elders had experienced troubled times, so they naturally knew how outdated the army was.

"Is this method feasible?"

"Always give it a try. Twelve Lang still cares about his clan even though he is in the army, and he must remember his affection no matter whether it succeeds or not."

"exactly."

After the elders made an agreement, they informed Meng Guangxiao, who is the head of the clan, to gather the clan members, and each family shared the money and food. All households with males had to go out to work and dig ditches outside the village every day.Behind the wall, a turret was built according to the drawings drawn by Meng Qinghe, and strong men were stationed every day. Once the southern army was found, the prepared wooden signs were immediately erected and pasted with paper.

This is also what Meng Qinghe specially reminded that the wooden sign can only be used at critical times, otherwise, it may be regarded as disrespectful to Emperor Hongwu.

A simple fortification around Mengjiatun gradually took shape, which not only attracted nearby villages to follow suit, but the Wanping county magistrate immediately reported the news.Most of the clansmen attributed their credit to Meng Qinghe, and Meng Twelve Lang's road to promotion immediately became much wider.

During the month, members of the Meng clan were busy building the fence, and Meng Qinghai also struggled to get up, picked up a pen to write on the wooden sign, after a few days, he took in less soup and medicine, but used more food, and his body miraculously began to improve.

Knowing that Meng Qinghe was the one who came up with the idea of ​​building the wall, Mrs. Meng Liu sent two bags of white flour to Mrs. Wang himself, but Mrs. Meng was confused. What do you mean?However, Meng Qinghe said that after the gift from the uncle in the lobby, Meng Wang didn't refuse, said a few kind words to Meng Liu, closed the door and continued to live his own life.

In mid-August, after the assembly of the Yan army was completed, Zhu Di personally led the army to station in Lousang.

Geng Bingwen in Zhending City learned of the movement of the Yan army, and quickly sent people to Xiongxian County and Zhuzhou, telling Pan Zhong and Yang Song to be careful of Yan Wang's sneak attack, but he was still a step too late.

In the eighth month of Renzi, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the King of Yan ordered Shen Xuan to lead his troops across the Baigou River to attack Xiong County.

Meng Qinghe led the army to follow Shen Xuan, and after crossing the river, the whole army accelerated and arrived at Xiong County in the middle of the night.

The defenders of Xiongxian County never expected that the Yan army would launch an attack on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, nor did they expect that the king of Yan would be so angry because of a raw man that he would have a hard time, and he did not intend to make others feel better.

The time Shen Xuan chose to attack was at the end of the ugly hour, which happened to be the most sleepy time of the day.

When the fire at the top of the city began to dim and the voices of the people died down, Meng Qinghe followed the example of other soldiers, tightened his waist knife, and climbed up the city wall.

The city wall of Xiong County is not high, and it is a bit dilapidated due to the wind and sun.After Yang Song moved in, he didn't do much repairs, and the uneven wall was just convenient for borrowing.

The bright moon hangs high, and the Chang'e Jade Rabbit is nowhere to be seen. On the city wall of Xiongxian County, there are quite a few soldiers of the Yan Army doing rock climbing.

Unlike the rock climbers of later generations, they climbed the city wall with bare hands not to prove themselves, but to fight and kill.

Meng Qinghe struggled to hold on to a raised city brick. While panting, he looked at a group of Yan soldiers who were vigorously moving forward, backward, left, and right, and were climbing upwards. Compared with these people, Spider-Man was absolutely childish, even Superman could return The family is unemployed.

Just as he was considering whether to ask someone to help him, it's not a problem if he can't get up and down like this, a strong arm suddenly grabbed his wrist, and then, a rope hung down in front of his eyes, "Hold on."

It turned out that the fastest soldiers had already climbed to the top of the city, silently eliminated the defenders, and several ropes hung down from the top of the city.

With the help of ropes, Meng Qinghe finally climbed up the city wall. In less than a moment, the attacking Yan army was discovered by a group of defenders who were changing guards.

The Yan army was still rushing to the top of the city, Shen Xuan beheaded a hundred households, ordered Zhou Rong to lead people to open the city gate, and let the rear army enter the city.

Knowing that the Yan army attacked at night and had already reached the top of the city, Yang Song was shocked, and he didn't dare to take it seriously, so he immediately sent someone to report to Pan Zhong.I don't know how many people from the Yan army came, and whether the thousands of people in his hands can support until the reinforcements arrive.

Time is equally important for the Yan army that invaded the city and the army that defended the city.

Zhou Rong finally killed the defenders of the city gate and opened the gate of Xiong County.

Zhu Neng, who had been waiting for a long time, led the cavalry into the city, and the defenders fell into chaos and bitter fighting.

Yang Song personally put on armor and went into battle, he knew that persistence is victory!Persevere until the reinforcements arrive, and under the internal and external attacks, the Yan army will surely retreat.

Shen Xuan and Zhu Neng didn't intend to give him this chance, more and more Yan troops invaded the city, the shouts of killing at the top of the city became smaller and smaller, and the bright moon hanging high in the sky seemed to be stained with blood.

With Meng Qinghe's back against the city wall, Gao Fu and several other familiar Yan soldiers were fighting around him. Once caught in a melee, the formation of many people would be easily disrupted, and a team of more than a dozen people would easily advance and retreat.

Meng Qinghe chopped down a southern army forcefully, wiped away the blood that blurred his vision, and by the moonlight, saw a general of the southern army on a horse rushing towards here.

"Gao Zongqi," Meng Qinghe raised his voice, and said to Gao Fu, "Shoot that general!"

Gao Fu didn't speak, he took two steps back and set up his long bow, and Yan Jun immediately took his place.

With the sound of the wind, three sharp arrows shot at Yang Song one after another. Without realizing it, Yang Song was shot in the shoulder by one arrow, but the other two arrows missed one after another.

"Rush over, cut off the horse's legs!"

At this moment, the experience of the frontier army fighting against the Northern Yuan cavalry all the year round played a huge role.

Gao Fu rushed up first, followed by Meng Qinghe and others. They didn't know that they were about to catch a big fish.

Yang Song was injured, and the horses under his crotch were still rampaging. The other Yan troops were also held back by the Southern Army who was fighting bravely to rescue the coach, which happened to be cheap for Gao Fu and others.

Holding the saber horizontally, the huge impact almost dragged Gao Fu down, the blade rolled, the horse whined, and fell to his knees on the ground, Yang Song rolled off the horse like a gourd, and rolled directly to Meng Qinghe. in front of.

Out of the instincts trained on the battlefield, before Yang Song could stand up, Meng Twelve Lang raised his saber and made it up again. Commander Yang, whose strength was not as strong as Zhu Neng and Shen Xuan, but much higher than him, hated him. , I didn't see what the guy who chopped off his head looked like until he died.

Perhaps, not knowing is happier than knowing.

Yang Song died in battle, and died under the sword of an inconspicuous Yan army. The Xiongxian defenders who were desperately approaching him were dumbfounded. The coach is gone. How can this battle be fought?

The morale of the defenders fell to the bottom, but the fighting spirit of the Yan army instantly increased by [-]%.

"Yang Song is dead, kill him!"

Chopping melons and chopping vegetables was like chopping melons and vegetables. The entire army of the defenders in Jiuqianxiong County was wiped out. The Yan Army captured countless rations and more than [-] horses.

Zhu Neng jumped off his horse, looked at Meng Qinghe who had killed Yang Song, and punched Shen Xuan on the shoulder, "No wonder the fifty cavalry didn't change, and I can't change here!"

Shen Xuan punched Zhu Neng back with no seriousness, which shows that the friendship between the two is quite good.

At this moment, Meng Qinghe realized what character he had killed, and suddenly felt a sense of happiness being hit by a pie.

Not to mention continuing to be promoted, the rewards will not be less, right?

Xiong County was taken down, but Pan Zhong didn't know it, and was leading the cavalry to rush here anxiously.He didn't expect Yang Song to die so aggrieved, nor did he expect that Xiongxian County would not be able to defend for one night, nor did he expect that the Yan army would set up an ambush on his way to help.

So, after Yang Song, Pan Zhong was caught by Fu Jun at Yueyang Bridge.

After a bombardment, the Yan army lurking at the bottom of the bridge came out one after another. After waiting for almost a night, you boy finally came!

After a fight, Pan Zhong and the reinforcements led by him suffered a tragedy.

Pan Zhong was arrested, so Wuzhou naturally couldn't hold it.The Yan army achieved another great victory, and the depression in the king's chest finally dissipated. He rode on his horse and looked in the direction of Zhending City. Marquis Changxing, next is you!

Even if he didn't eat mooncakes, King Yan had a great time this Mid-Autumn Festival.

Emperor Jianwen of Nanjing was very upset.

The supervisory censor in the imperial court seemed to be specifically against him, admonishing him for not being as filial as the son of King Yan, and also pointing fingers at him about cutting down the vassal.

Shangshu didn't get a response, so the censor, who took "clank and iron bones" as his benchmark, simply spoke directly in front of the court's civil and military officials!

Headed by the censor Kang Yu, he put on a posture of not fearing power, and breathed his nostrils at Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and other radicals who cut the feudal clan. Starting from the point of "the master kisses his relatives, and then not only kisses his relatives", he made the following remarks:

The vassal king is the son of Emperor Hongwu, the brother of Zhu Biao, and the uncle of Emperor Jianwen, with a distinguished status.

The Confucianism favored by the emperor, instigating His Majesty to disregard family affection, abolish the Taizu's decrees, seize the feudal vassals, and cruelly persecute the emperor's relatives and uncles, it is not a thing!

Now the king of Zhou was sent to the frontier for labor reform, the king of Qi was imprisoned in the capital, the king of Min was thrown to the sea to be exposed to the wind and the sun, the king of Xiang was the most miserable, and his whole family was buried in the sea of ​​fire. It is said that King Yan is not a minister, but is the emperor's reputation good?

Speaking of this, Kang Yu burst into tears, "People in the world will say: If you don't raise your troops, disasters will happen. It's the court that forced the vassals to rebel."

"For Your Majesty's sake, release the prisoner of King Qi, seal the tomb of King Xiang, return King Min of Zhou to the fiefdom, welcome King Chu and King Shu to the capital, and order their sons to hold letters to persuade Yan to stop fighting. The relatives of Yidun, the world is very fortunate!

In short, the king of Qi was released, the abolished vassal king was rehabilitated, the tomb was repaired for the king of Xiang, and the king of Chu and the king of Shu were asked to be a peacemaker to persuade the king of Yan to stop the army. Dear, hello, hello, hello everyone.

Kang Yu bowed down on the ground, crying uncontrollably while calling His Majesty, that was a heartbreak.

Those who knew it were the above words, but those who didn't know thought that Emperor Jianwen was going back west with the crane.

The imperial envoys left and right of the Metropolitan Procuratorate silently bowed their heads and stood in the queue of the officials, hiding their identity and reputation, without saying a word.

Yu Shishu was able to think of a way, but he jumped out and spoke out, but there was nothing he could do. Could it be that he dragged it back?

Smoke was coming from the top of Jianwen Emperor's head, pointing at Kang Yu with trembling hands, taking the salary he gave him, refusing to do things for him, and pointing at his nose to scold? !

But Emperor Jianwen was not the King of Yan. The King of Yan could kill Du Qi, so Emperor Jianwen had to think twice about giving Kang Yu a royal stick.

Kang Yu cried even harder, and Emperor Jianwen was so angry that his eyes turned black, he just waved his hand and retreated!

If you can't afford to provoke, you can afford to hide. As for Kang Yu who is still crying in the hall, you can cry if you want.

Facts have proved that Emperor Jianwen deserves to be the grandson of Emperor Hongwu, and he does not lack the willpower to go all the way to the dark.

The day after Kang Yu's speech, Emperor Jianwen ordered Liao King Ning Wang to enter Beijing.

King Liao didn't say anything, and immediately packed his luggage.King Ning, however, excused himself from being unwell, just not moving.Emperor Jianwen was also unambiguous, and immediately ordered to cut King Ning's guards.

As soon as this order came out, King Yan was so happy that he slapped his thighs, thinking about whatever he wanted, and was worried that no one would rebel with him, so his nephew helped him solve the problem.

Dao Yan clasped his hands together, Amitabha, the emperor is really a good man.

Meng Qinghe got the news from Shen Xuan, and his only thought was that if there were too many lice, it would not itch if there were too many debts, and if there were too many debts, he would not worry about it. Did Emperor Jianwen feel that only the rebellion of King Yan was not enough, and he wanted King Ning to rebel too? Is it lively when there are many people?

It is said that Emperor Jianwen's head shape is very characteristic. Could it be that his head was hit by a stone?
