On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month in the seventh year of Jingping, the Mongolian army aggressively attacked Dayong, and Dayong was in an uproar.

On the third day of the first month of the eighth year of Jingping, Dali Temple Minister Fu Jin asked himself to supervise the army and escort the grain and grass to the frontier.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month of the same year, He Zhijing, the general of the town's auxiliary government, led [-] elite soldiers into the frontier to fight against the enemy.

On the [-]th day of the first month, He Jun arrived at the frontier, took the Shenji cannon of the Military Aircraft Battalion as the vanguard, and fought the Mongolian cavalry for the first time, winning the first battle.The Mongolian army retreated ten miles and withdrew from Ningyuan.

Three days later, the Mongolian army attacked and attacked the city in the middle of the night.

In Ningyuan City, the lights were brightly lit all night, and there were constant roars and killings.On the second day, blood flowed into rivers and bones piled up into mountains.Both armies were severely wounded.

Nine days later, the three armies of the Mongolian Army converged and attacked the city again with the Iron Buddha as the vanguard.Ningyuan closed the city gate tightly and only fired firearms from the high platform. No one from He Jun fought.

On February [-]th in Jingping, the north gate of Ningyuan City fell.On the second day, the east gate fell, and on the third day, the Mongolian army suddenly retreated.

On February [-]th in Jingping, the Tatars attacked the rear of the Mongolian army. The Mongolians were caught off guard and retreated hastily.On that day, the Mongolian army was ambushed by He Jun in Zaofengling, causing heavy casualties.

On the 23rd of February in Jingping, the eldest Mongolian prince was captured; on the 24th, the second Mongolian prince was killed by rebels on the way to escape, leaving no bones left.

On the seventh day of March in Jingping, the third prince led the remaining one thousand tribes northward, crossed the border of Loulan, and disappeared into the Gobi.

"Brother He!" Zhi Lan watched in horror as the blood continued to flow from Yan Yan's body, and it didn't take long before the horse's back was wet.He turned his head towards the barracks and shouted loudly, "Where's the doctor? Where's the doctor?"

During the chaotic battle, his voice was quickly covered by the sound of fighting.

Excessive blood loss made Yan Yan dizzy for a while. He gritted his teeth, forced himself to straighten his back, tightened his fist, drew half an arc in the air, and picked a cavalryman off the horse with his backhand.As soon as the cavalryman fell off his horse, he died under the horse's hooves in an instant.

He took a deep breath, swallowed the blood in his mouth, and said to Zhilan, "I'm fine." While speaking, he held a long whip in his hand, and his body suddenly heaved. Shocked, the long whip wrapped around the neck of the Mongolian cavalry like a poisonous snake, and with a loud shout, the Mongolian cavalry was dragged off the horse.

After these actions, his physical strength was finally completely exhausted, his eyes went dark, and he fell off the horse directly.

"General!" One-eyed Li, who was not far away, heard Zhilan's voice and rushed over on horseback brandishing a big knife, just in time to catch Yan Yan's falling body.

He said loudly to Zhilan: "The doctor is in the back camp, let General Huang take the lead here first, and you and I will escort the general back first!"

in the tent

The old doctor put his finger on Yan Yan's wrist tremblingly, retracted it after a while, and shook his head at the other two who were staring at him eagerly: "General He's body has been depressing for a long time, and the past two years There is no good treatment. Now that the old and new injuries are added together, I am afraid that there is no way to recover."

After he finished speaking, the two of them stood on the spot blankly, Zhilan's eyes turned red instantly, she stepped forward and pulled the old doctor, and shouted: "Impossible! Brother He is in such good health, except for leg problems, he has never been born in the frontier in the past two years." Sick!"

The old doctor sighed: "That's it. General He has a lot of old injuries on his body. Over the years, he has been holding on, and his illness has been stagnant and unable to disperse. So it accumulates more and more, and in the end, he can only suffer from it." body."

While they were talking, Yan Yan on the bed lightly moved his eyelashes and woke up.

"Now, I will issue the last military order to you two." Yan Yan leaned against the head of the bed, struggling to say every word.

Zhilan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and stood with One-Eyed Li in a standard military posture: "Yes!"

"Until the end of the war, no one is allowed to tell about my illness! Anyone who violates the order will be punished!" Yan Yan said sternly, and while he was speaking, his eyes glanced at the old doctor standing aside: "As for Doctor Deng, you Do not leave the military tent for a few days."

Frightened by his sharp eyes, the old doctor hastily assured him: "This old man should serve in the military tent."

"Zhilan, don't cry. You are a boy who cries all day long, what do you look like?" Yan Yan stretched out his hand with great effort, and stroked Zhilan's head.

"I didn't cry!" Zhi Lan said with red eyes, "Who said I was crying?"

"It's fine if you don't cry." Yan Yan smiled, "After I die, you don't have to escort my body to Beijing with Huang Huaishi."

"I don't! Brother He, you won't die!" Zhi Lan said stubbornly.

"I'm not dead yet! You won't listen to me?"

"I……"

"Listen to me." Yan Yan slowed down his voice, "Before Zhu Mingwen ascended the throne, He Zhijing promised Empress Dowager Lu that if the Lu family was in trouble in the future, no matter what, he would help her leave a bloodline for the Lu family .”

"At the beginning, He Zhijing wanted to send you to his hometown, but he didn't expect that the emperor would almost notice him before he started his action. In desperation, he had no choice but to temporarily use Fu Jin to mix you with the exiled prisoners in order to preserve your name. "

Zhilan lowered her head and stared at Xiaowa on the ground: "My surname is not Lu! I believe in congratulations! You said it! Let me take your surname." He was the illegitimate son of a young master of the Lu family outside, until He Zhijing found him. He had never met his father before, so naturally he had no affection for the so-called Lu family.

"That's fine." Yan Yan looked at the young man's stubborn eyes, and nodded slowly.He Zhijing was not married before his death, the boy said he called him big brother, but in fact He Zhijing raised him as his own child.

"Now, kneel down and kowtow to me three times." Yan Yan instructed him.

Although Zhilan didn't understand what he meant, she did it right away.

"From now on, you can no longer call me big brother." Yan Yan said, ignoring Zhilan's sudden change of expression, he continued, "From now on, you will be He Zhijing's adopted son! After I die, you don't have to go north, just take me with you. Take my letter to the He family in Hubei and enter the He family tree."

In this way, even if Zhu Mingwen finds out about Zhilan's background in the future, she can't attack him openly.He Zhijing sacrificed his life for the country, even if it was to stop the mouth of the world, he would not lay hands on He Zhijing's adopted son!

After saying such a long series of words, Yan Yan felt a little tired, and he couldn't help leaning against the head of the bed to rest.

"Master Fu is here!" In a blur of consciousness, he seemed to hear Zhilan talking to another familiar voice, but he couldn't accurately judge whether the other party was him.

"You go out first." The man told Zhilan.

Zhi Lan looked hesitantly at Fu Jin, who was in a hurry and covered in dust, thought for a while, and finally withdrew.

"I really want to tell you who I am." Yan Yan felt a cool hand on his forehead.

He opened his mouth and wanted to ask the other party what was the matter, but he couldn't even open his eyes.

"But... I can't break the rules." The hand moved down slowly and rested on Yan Yan's lips.

"I, like, like, you." At the last moment of consciousness, Yan Yan's lips warmed up, and a few vague words overflowed from between the lips and teeth.

Waves of darkness hit in front of him, Yan Yan took a breath and sank into the darkness completely.

"Dear customer, due to the system upgrade of this product, part of the memory of the customer in this world will become blurred. Are we sorry for this, and sincerely hope you can understand."

As soon as Yan Yan's consciousness returned to reality, he heard a sweet mechanical female voice ringing in his ears.The corners of his eyes twitched, and he couldn't help saying: "*!"

He took off the 'wormhole glasses' with one hand, threw them on the bed at any time, stood up, and went out of the bedroom to eat.

This experience took almost a day and a night. Although Yan Yan didn't feel thirsty or hungry, he still decided to reward his stomach.

nonsense!Although the 'wormhole glasses' can pass through the blood vessels and inject certain nutrients into the user's body during operation, this kind of nutrient-like thing has no smell at all, and ghosts will like it!

"We won! We won!" Zhilan lifted the curtain abruptly and said excitedly, "Brother He, we won!"

Hearing that, there was no surprise on Fu Jin's face. He covered Yan Yan's body with the quilt, stood up from the bed, and said calmly: "I tell the three armies, the whole army Su Xing, the general of the township assistant government, He Zhijing, passed away."

After he finished speaking, he walked past Zhilan, and when he stepped through the door, his body softened and he fell to the ground.

Fu Jin was congenitally deficient and was a posthumous child who was born dissatisfied with Yue.Before his death, the doctor once said: Deep love will not live long, and wisdom will hurt extremely.So I want him to refrain from great joy and great sorrow, just for fear that one day he will hurt his body for love and end up dying young.

Just like He Zhijing, Fu Jin's body continued to suffer from old ailments and new injuries. Coupled with the ups and downs, he also died.

On the 24th of the eighth year of Jingping, the auxiliary general of Zhen Guo died of illness while chasing the Mongolian army.On the same day, Dali Siqing died suddenly in the military tent.

When King Lian arrived at Yuan'an Palace, Zhu Mingwen was standing under an old plum tree in the yard.In the desolate and dilapidated small yard, apart from this sickly old tree, there are only some weeds.

"Your Majesty." He stood for a while and couldn't help calling out.

"Why is the Prince Regent free to come to this small place like me today?" Zhu Mingwen turned around, looked at King Lian and asked.

Upon hearing this, King Lian smiled wryly and said, "Brother Huang, don't make fun of my younger brother."

Zhu Mingwen saw that there was worry hidden in his eyebrows, so he couldn't help blurting out: "Did the border war change?"

King Lian hurriedly said: "Everything is under General He's control, Your Majesty need not worry." Seeing Zhu Mingwen heaved a sigh of relief, he continued: "The two parties in Zhaojiang and the court have almost been cleaned up. I don't know what your Majesty plans to do. Shi Huichao presides over the overall situation?"

Zhu Mingwen asked instead: "Tell me, did He Zhijing know about my plan?"

King Lian immediately said: "Impossible! Apart from you and me, there is absolutely no third person in the world who knows His Majesty's plan."

Zhu Mingwen said with a gloomy expression, "But before he left for the expedition, he gave me something." He carefully took out the jade pendant from his caring arms.

"This is?" Lian Wang looked at the jade pendant with rough workmanship and ordinary jade color in front of him.

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Mingwen's mouth, he seemed to have entered into the memory, after a long time, he said: "I made this by myself." Then he gave it to He Zhijing.

"What does he mean?" King Lian asked.

Zhu Mingwen looked troubled and said: "He asked me to go to No. 76, Erli Lane tomorrow, and find a man named He Liu, and get something." anything I've ever wanted."

King Lian was puzzled, and said, "Didn't He Zhijing take out the late emperor's suicide note long ago?"

Zhu Mingwen said with a half smile but not a smile: "He was willing to take it out in order to confine me. King Lian, tell me, if I hadn't made arrangements in advance, would he have decided to depose me after he came back and support you to ascend the throne? "

Hearing what he said, a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on King Lian's body. With a thud, he knelt down and said, "Brother Huang, I have learned from you, my younger brother has absolutely no intention of disobedience."

"Really?" Zhu Mingwen looked straight into his eyes.

King Lian gritted his teeth and raised two fingers to swear: "I swear here, if I have such thoughts one day, I will never get Zhu Yu's response in this life."

Zhu Mingwen's expression slowed down, and he helped King Lian himself: "My good brother, I believe you are just fine. But," he said a little puzzled, "I don't understand why you must let my general, the emperor Dismissed from the clan."

Lian Wang said: "Then why did the emperor have to trap He Zhijing in the capital? Why did he have to remove his military power and send him to the frontier?"

"It turns out that you and my brother are actually the same person in our bones." Hearing this, Zhu Mingwen said calmly.

Because I like it, I want to break the other party's wings so that the other party can never leave me.

King Lian's eyes were dark: "Uncle Huang has been obsessed with the throne and power all his life. Apart from that, he can't see anything. So he can only see me if he falls from the clouds into the mud."

"Aren't you afraid that he will hate you?"

"I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid that he will ignore me for the rest of his life!"

"Your Majesty." Eunuch Wei took the black box from He Liu and handed it to Zhu Mingwen.

Zhu Mingwen opened the box, and there was a letter inside, writing: He Qing personally.He opened the envelope, and inside was a letter written by the late emperor to He Zhijing.

Zhu Mingwen's heart couldn't help beating wildly. He shook his fingers and picked up the letter.

"...Since Lu Shi took charge of the harem, she has had nothing to do for many years, and she is jealous by nature. Thanks to the merits, there is no hard work, so I did not promulgate this decree. If in the future, the Lu family dares to be a rooster to rule the morning, and the Lu family's tail will not be lost, hindering the new emperor from taking power, you can come up with this decree..."

Zhu Mingwen reached into the box and groped for a while. His fingertips touched a raised spot. With a light press, the inner bottom of the box split from the middle, and a bright yellow Gongjuan was placed in the dark compartment. .

He picked it up and saw that it was indeed the will of the first emperor to abolish the latter.

On February [-]th of the eighth year of Jingping, during the court meeting, Emperor Ximing, who had been "sick" for more than two months, appeared in the court hall and read out the decree of the former emperor after he was abolished.Since then, Emperor Ximing's murder of his mother and brother has been solved without attack.

On the 26th, Emperor Ximing resorted to thunderous tactics and decreed that Zhao Lian and Jiang Xia beheaded in the city, and their family members were beheaded after autumn; He will never be hired, and if he is serious, he will be executed. Anyone in his family who is over ten years old will be executed after autumn.

As a result, nearly half of the officials in the entire Yong Dynasty were questioned.What is commendable is that since then, for nearly a hundred years, there have been no ministers who dared to openly form a party for personal gain in the Yong Dynasty, and there have been no corrupt officials like Zhao Lian and Jiang Xia.

Some historians in later generations once commented on Emperor Ximing like this: It took three years to endure and indulge two treacherous ministers who have been outstanding since ancient times, and then use these two people to find out the moths in the entire Dayong Dynasty, and finally catch them all. In exchange for the political clarity of Dayong for nearly a hundred years.

As for the relationship between emperor Ximing and He Zhijing, some people speculated that: at the beginning, they were both teachers and friends, but they separated due to political differences.Fortunately, this disagreement between the monarch and his subjects was just a play between the monarch and his subjects.And they used this scene to bring an unprecedented prosperity to Dayong.

All the truth, as time fades away, is covered up under the cover called 'History Book'.

Eternal romance, emperors and generals, in the end, nothing more than a cup of loess.
