Reincarnation of the powerful minister

The sudden total solar eclipse not only made the besieged capital panic even more, but also the besieged Beimo army panicked. Many people got off their horses and knelt down to worship the Changshengtian, begging the god to calm their anger.

For this reason, Altan put on the costume of a shaman and great witch, wearing an eagle hat, wearing a five-color streamer vest, complete with magic instruments such as a mirror, a whip, and a pole bell. On the altar built temporarily with wood, it looks like a statue of a foreign god from a distance.

He announced to the army under his command that he would use psychic skills to divination the good or bad of the battle.

After a serious dance ceremony, the decree of the god came to the "son of the sacred tree" and the "holy lord of the grassland", and issued an oracle through his mouth: the sun covers its brilliance, just like a person covers his eyes If you walk blindly, you will fall into the abyss.Follow closely the guides, discern the right way and the wrong way, maybe there will be a new turning point.

The decree is a bit tortuous and complicated, and if it is replaced by the Central Plains' Qiqijiegua, it can be regarded as a chance to win the lottery.

However, most of the northern desert cavalry, including the leaders of each wing, still grasped the key word - "follow the leaders".Wodan raised his hands high and shouted: "I would like to obey the oracle and swear to follow the great Holy Khan!"

"Following" means losing leadership, but it also means being protected, and not being responsible for the correctness of decisions. If you can meet a strong leader, this is a life that most people are willing to accept Way.The more people who follow in common, the stronger the conformity.

When the emotions of the cavalry were ignited, and they half-kneeled towards the altar like a sea wave, and kowtowed to the noble monarch in their hearts, the words of "follow the oracle and swear to follow the great Holy Khan" Shouts resounded through the sky.

Standing on the top of the city wall and looking at this scene, the courtiers and soldiers and civilians of the Great Ming Dynasty became very dignified.

Yu Che pressed his hand on the old wound that was painful, and said with a calm face: "For more than [-] years since the north and south fought, I have never seen such a popular Di Chief."

Feng Sizhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, sighed: "It can be foreseen, what a tragic battle of life and death will follow."

King Ning changed into a military uniform, complete with a hood and a pocket. Because of his tall stature, he also showed a bit of heroism.He stared at Altan on the altar in the enemy formation, with an elusive glint in his eyes. For a moment, Su Yan felt that he was grateful and proud.

He seemed to sense Su Yan's gaze keenly, and turned to look over.Before he could move, Su Yan quickly looked away and pulled the hood of the satin cloak to cover half of his face.

Ning Wang said softly: "It's already April, is Mr. Su Ge still so afraid of the cold?"

Su Yan replied: "It's windy at the top of the city, it makes my head hurt."

King Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, because of the coquettishness of this key person, his vigilance in the bottom of his heart was lowered, and he said: "Then you have to take care of your body."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern." Su Yan said casually, squinting his eyes slightly, looking at the eye-catching Beimo Sacred Khan and Shaman Shaman in the enemy's mighty army formation, and said in his heart: "Dahei is a magic stick." It's really smooth.In order to twist so many clans and tribes on the grassland into a single rope, the unity of politics and religion is indeed the most efficient way of governing.This is a natural leadership talent, admiration.

As for whether Altan is the real son or the real stick, does it matter?

The times create heroes, and when the people need faith, faith is the real existence.Even in the doomed age of later generations, let a pope ask himself whether faith or secularism is more important in his heart, and what answer will he get?

Su Yan is a person with a great sense of boundaries. He has never had it before, and he will never force him to ask Altan: Is your so-called shamanic secret technique real?

So he and them are in harmony with each other, and each has become an independent individual.

So they can leave him and go their own way, but they can never leave him, put him in the only bright place in their hearts, look at him all the time, and miss him all the time.

At the same time, the figure on the gate tower of the city wall is just a black spot in Altan's eyes, but he knows that his Unig is there, and the player who is seeking the tiger's skin is also there.

All of a sudden, Altan came up with an ambitious idea—if he didn’t go according to plan, would it be feasible to take Unig away after all obstacles were overcome, and let him be a godsend that only belonged to him?It's okay for Unig to leave the Central Plains, so he turns the capital into their winter palace. How will he react when it's done?

You can try.Su Yan's leisurely voice seemed to ring in his ears.How about using a desperate ending to bet on whether I will lose my will because of love?Come on, try it, Holy Khan.

In the warming morning wind, Altan suddenly shuddered, with a shudder running down his back: One thought can lead to a lifetime, and what the scriptures said is indeed true!Unig has never been a person who will be hijacked by the will of others. Once he is forced into a desperate situation, he is likely to be destroyed... Cough, he was almost possessed by a demon.

"Blow the horn." Altan ordered the messenger.

The low and loud sound of the horn spread throughout the city, making people's hearts tremble.Yu Chezhi said in a deep voice: "The enemy is about to attack!" Although he was unable to go into battle due to injury, he assumed the overall command of the battle.

According to the system, officials of the Ministry of War cannot directly command the army with official positions such as ministers and ministers. Therefore, at the suggestion of Su Yan, Yang Ting, the chief assistant of the cabinet holding the "Ju Shou Edict", issued an edict on behalf of the emperor, giving Yu Chezhi the title of "admiral of the army and horses of each battalion." "The power of the camp is controlled by the generals of the battalions in Beijing.

In a short period of time, Yu Chezhi did his best to make strategic deployments, relying on the city as his camp, dredging trenches, strengthening city defenses, and strictly guarding the nine gates.The Weapons Bureau and the Firearms Department of the Tiangong Institute rushed to make ordnance day and night, and allocated millions of shi to Beijing from nearby Tunwei such as Tongzhou and Shunyi.On the one hand, he divided the troops and ordered some Beijing troops to go out of the city in advance to set up an ambush, planning to attack from inside and outside;

His clear thinking, comprehensive planning, and skillful use of troops made Su Yan feel ashamed, and once again verified the truth of "professionals do professional things".As for his secondary assistant who holds the decision-making power, he only needs to be talented and employ people without doubt, and he doesn't have to direct blindly in the specific formation of troops.

King Ning asked himself to take the lead, and Yu Chezhi agreed, and arranged for him to lead his troops to guard the You'an Gate in the southwest of the outer city.King Ning felt that this arrangement was intended to take care of him, so he filed a petition again to go out of the city to fight.

Yu Chezhi did have the idea of ​​protecting the clan's safety as much as possible, so the three major battalions of the Beijing Army were sent out first.King Ning said that since he led the army to serve the king, there is no reason to choose the easy and fear the heavy. If everyone wants to protect themselves, who else will fight the enemy bravely?As the prince of the clan, he must take the lead and set an example for the army and people in the city.

King Ning's attitude was gentle but firm, but Yu Chezhi couldn't reach it. After sighing again and again, he adjusted his deployment slightly, and sent Tengxiang Guards from King Ning's army to go out of the city to fight, while the rest of the Beijing Army and the upper twelve guards stood firm at the city gate.

"Lord Su," Gao Shuo leaned close to Su Yan's ear, and whispered, "Why do you feel that His Highness King Ning's posture of sacrificing his life for righteousness is more like having nothing to fear?"

Su Yan nodded slightly with a smile: "As expected of being a spy, he has good eyesight. Of course he has nothing to worry about. Is the big dark area outside a strong enemy? They are all his allies."

"Allied army?" Gao Shuo was astonished, but suddenly Fu Zhi thought through the key point, "His Royal Highness Ning has colluded with Altan?! Planning to betray the enemy and help the other party break through the capital?"

"Think again." Su Yan said.

Gao Shuo tried his best to dig deeper into this collusion: "...he sent troops first to attack in order to satisfy the old man's reward that 'those who retreat from the enemy get a reserve'. Then the outcome of this confrontation is very likely It was Altan who pretended to be defeated and retreated, and King Ning won a complete victory, and then he was "forced" to accept the canonization under the popular will.

"And it's impossible for Altan to just make wedding dresses for people, so what will they get? Money, silver, grain, salt and iron supplies, it's still going to hurt Daming even more..." He frowned deeply.

Su Yan explained his confusion: "It's Youyun Sixteen Prefectures."

Gao Shuo was completely stunned at first, then burst into anger, and almost blurted out: "Whoever dares to do such a thing that loses power and humiliates the country will be punished by heaven! Our ancestors hate it!"

"Look, you, a small general banner, are so furious when you hear that someone wants to cede land and capitalize on the enemy. What if all the ministers of the imperial court and the millions of soldiers and civilians in the city know about it?"

"One mouthful of spittle will put this person into the grave!"

Su Yan smiled, and asked: "I want you Jinyiwei to help find the technicians of Tiangong Institute to urgently customize the things. Are you ready? You didn't peek, did you?"

Gao Shuo shook his head: "My lord has an order, who dares to disobey. I didn't peek at it, and I wrapped it neatly and transported it to the gate tower. Some guards asked what was inside, and I only said it was to boost morale Banners and flagpoles."

Su Yan said: "Well done. You will be careful later. King Ning led all his troops out of the city. When they meet with the Beimo army, put this thing in the place I marked in advance and call it to the brothers." Set up."

Gao Shuo nodded vigorously.

The two looked down from the top of the city, and saw a continuous stream of people rushing out of the city gate like a long dragon, and the leader was King Ning.After the long dragon vomited out, the city gate was tightly closed again.

In front of the formation of the two armies, swords were on the verge of breaking out. King Ning pulled out his long sword loudly and shouted "attack", but he heard a strange sound of wind in the sky behind him.

He looked back subconsciously, and saw a huge white cloth hanging down from the gate tower like a waterfall, covering the entire city gate.This piece of cloth is like a giant curtain that fell from the sky, covering the city walls, with black characters bigger than the drumhead written on it, which can be seen clearly even if it is miles away.

"The one who is sincere is the way of heaven; the one who thinks sincerely is the way of man. There are two people, Altan, the Holy Khan of the Northern Desert, and Zhu Tanluo, King of Ning, the Ming Dynasty. Under the witness of the gods, they made a blood alliance and signed a covenant. as follows……"

Obviously, this is an enlarged version of the covenant.In this very visually impactful way, the person who hangs the book clearly reveals to everyone the contents of the collegial meeting of the two powerful careerists.

On the one hand, there is the Daming vassal, who is plotting for the throne, and even cedes the land in order to use the siege of the city to create an opportunity for supremacy;The precision and see-saw meaning between each line and each word, seems to be two people negotiating and bargaining in front of you.

At the end are the blood-red signatures and handprints of the two signatories, each stamped.

The huge book not only restores the handwriting of the covenant in proportion, but also the signature and seal are vivid, giving the viewer the illusion of being shrunk down between the pages and seeing the real work.

The full text uses Chinese characters, only at the end, after Altan's name, there is a signature in Beimo script.As soon as they saw it, they could imagine that there should be another version of this covenant written in Beimo language.

Two languages, in quadruplicate, with blood as ink, each signed and sealed, if one party breaks the promise and breaches the contract, the gods and men will abandon it, the other party can initiate punitive revenge against it, and it will never stop.

There is no language that can describe the mood of the subjects of the Great Ming who have seen this covenant clearly at this moment... Even if it is forged, the content is enough to make millions of Ming people stare, clench their fists, grit their teeth, and crack Its heart!

From the gate tower came the Jinyi guards shouting loudly: "The chess player will win! Beimo pretends to be defeated! The capital is out of trouble! King Ning ascends the throne!"

As if a signal flare hit the air, Teng Xiangwei, who went out of the city to fight with King Ning, also raised his arms and shouted: "The chess player will win! Beimo pretends to be defeated! The capital is out of trouble! King Ning ascends the throne!"

The blood color faded from King Ning's face like flying.In his mind full of swindles and tricks, full of twists and turns, he has never seen such a rough and unskilled way of exposing the bottom line, playing the fool so clearly, Sewage splashed all eyes.

If you say you are a villain, you are a villain. If you say I am not, thousands of people will call you yes.what can you doStand up and speak out, clarify yourself, and say that the signature on the covenant is "Yi Zhe" instead of "Ning Wang Zhu Tanluo"?

The signing parties identified in the giant book are now facing each other and leading their troops to confront each other.If he wins Altan, it is in line with "the chess player must win, Beimo pretends to be defeated"; if he loses, he will bid farewell to the crown prince.This is not to mention that Altan, seeing the situation was revealed, did not stop doing anything, simply tore up the covenant and took the opportunity to kill him, and then attacked the capital.

It's true that the technique is extremely rough, but the timing of this exposure was chosen too cunningly!The momentum is too huge!It was as if he wanted to tell him and the whole world so nakedly: what is Dali Poqiao!What is one force drop ten meetings!

Thousands of voices are like thunder, and Wan Dao's eyes are like rain of arrows. King Ning, who is trapped in this torrent, no matter how gentle and straightforward he is, there is no way for anyone to hear his voice and see his demeanor at this moment. .

Beimo Shenghan was really furious. He pointed the magic weapon, the bell, at King Ning on the horseback. Using the power of his dantian, he shouted: "Only you and I know the inside story of the Chanyuan alliance. How can every word be exposed? In front of others?! Chess player Zhu Tanluo, you are dishonest and framed me, and god and man will abandon it!"

King Ning felt a throbbing pain in his chest, as if he could wring out a lot of hard work——If he couldn't see through the affair between Altan and the book hanger, then he would be a fool!

What is the "Chanyuan Alliance"? The Song Dynasty signed a treaty to pay 30 silver to the Liao Kingdom, and the sixteen prefectures of Youyun were also eliminated.This northern barbarian who is proficient in the culture of the Central Plains clearly used the wrong allusion on purpose, implying that he lost power and humiliated the country. Even if he knew that the signing of the covenant itself was a fraud, he should be charged with the crime.

Set up a game, set up a game, and finally be trapped by the game, move the child and move the child, and finally be backed by the chess pieces.Seeing that the tall building was about to be completed, it collapsed in an instant, why didn't it make him hate him!

The shouting on the city gate continued, and even drowned out a group of courtiers who were full of astonishment and asked left and right.

Chief Assistant Yang Ting said in shock: "This, what's going on...how is this possible..."

Feng Sizhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, frowned and shouted: "Who is planning! Who do you brocade guards obey?" It's a pity that no one answered him, and even his question was swallowed up by the shouts of tens of thousands of Tengxiang guards in the city.

Yu Chezhi suddenly turned to look at Su Yan.

Su Yan put his hands into his cuffs and was looking down at the city calmly.Yu Chezhi asked: "Master Su, is this matter related to you?"

"What's the matter?" Su Yan didn't turn his face away, and even tilted his head to the other side in order to see the chaos under the city more clearly, "Oh, are you talking about the huge social death scene below? It doesn't matter, Qing It’s self-clearing, if His Highness King Ning has a clear conscience, after defeating Altan and returning to the city, he can naturally explain it clearly to the princes in the court.”

Yu Chezhi pointed to the bizarre melee under the city—the northern desert cavalry launched a fierce attack on King Ning's army.While Tengxiang Guards shouted slogans and withdrew from the battle circle to both sides, the enemy did not send any troops to stop them. They just strolled around the corner of the city wall, went to Guang'an Gate on the west side, and asked the defenders to open the gate to let them enter the city. up.

Su Yan murmured: "In the past ten years of operation, the gold-rich copper mine in Zhongshan, Nanjing, has almost been hollowed out. I don't know how many others have been dug in other places. Could it be that there are only tens of thousands of people? No, he There must be heavy soldiers hidden in his hands. He was caught off guard at the moment, and when he regained his senses and calmed down, there must be another move."

"This 'he', Master Su is referring to King Ning?"

"I'm talking about chess players."

"The chess player... is King Ning?" Not only Yu Che couldn't believe it, but Yang Ting and others who surrounded him also showed unbelievable expressions.

"What do you think?"

"Where is the evidence? To identify the prince as a traitor, there must be solid evidence!" Yang Ting was both a reminder and a warning.

Su Yan spread his hands: "I said he is, and he is. Who told me to be the number one minister of the Ming Dynasty now?"

Yang Ting was full of anger, and reprimanded: "Su Qinghe, you are a good and loyal minister, why are you so rampant now! If you can't show evidence that King Ning is a traitor, I will punish you for framing the prince and monopolizing power. A crime against the country!"

Su Yan smiled at him, and honestly stretched out his wrists: "If you want to give solid evidence, I really can't produce it for a while. Otherwise, Lord Shoufu will handcuff me first, and then send troops out of the city to help King Ning return to the city. Open the door and bow to the robbers, let's use the safety of the capital to gamble on whether King Ning is a chess player, how about it?"

Yang Ting was so angry that his heart ached, and he said in a trembling voice: "You are a rascal, you are a rascal!"

"My ancestor scolded me for saying that a long time ago." Su Yan said, "At the Jinshi's Enrong Banquet, I wrote a doggerel, and my ancestor pointed at me with a fan and scolded me, 'The boy is not good enough', See, uncle, after all these years, I am still the unrighteous brat you described."

"Shut up! Don't call me Shishu anymore, Zhu Guogong Shizu, we can't afford it!"

Su Yan let out a long sigh: "Hey. If you don't believe me, go down and save King Ning. I don't wait for Lord Shoufu to punish me, so I'll go to prison." He brushed his sleeves and went down the tower alone. .

Seeing that he was about to leave, the royal guards didn't bother to shout slogans, and quickly followed him.

Yang Ting slowed down the angry tone, choked up and said: "Why come here, why come here..."

Yu Chezhi knew that the chief minister was angry, so he couldn't be cruel enough to bring Su Qinghe, who had taken some wrong medicine, to question him—I'm afraid that if he really tried to question him, he wouldn't be able to question him.

But this incident is full of weirdness. If it is said that Su Yan framed King Ning in order to pave the way for King Yu to succeed to the throne, he feels something is wrong.

Could it be that what Su Yan said was the truth, and that King Ning was really weird?Yu Chezhi fell into deep thought.

Gao Shuo caught up with Su Yan: "Master Su, please stop."

Su Yan stopped and looked back at him.Gao Shuo anxiously said, "What are you doing, my lord? Are you really going to prison? Even if Yang Shoufu really wants to punish you, there are so many Jinyiwei and Tengxiangwei guarding him. How can he have this ability. Besides, the emperor—"

"Hush." ​​Su Yan raised a finger in front of his lips, "I just thought of something."

"what's up?"

"Why do they hide it and ask me to find it, huh? I owe someone or owe someone, so passive? Damn, I quit! Now I want to hide it and let them take the initiative Show up and come find me!"

Su Yan shook his sleeves and continued walking.

Gao Shuo caught up again: "My lord, the emperor is still waiting for your signal at the waterside pavilion outside the city, he didn't hide."

"I didn't tell him."

"Then...my lord just leaves like this, what about King Ning outside the city? What about the Beimo army?"

Su Yan said: "What to do with love, without me, the earth will continue to rotate. Anyway, I have paved the way, and we will see how all parties end up. Master Gao——"

"Don't dare!"

"Gao Shuo, go and get a set of Go, I want to calm down in the imperial prison and nourish my spirit."

Gao Shuo smiled wryly: "Where can the imperial prison of Fusi in Beizhen put your big Buddha down, I'm afraid it won't be demolished."
