The general is easy to bully

Goudan snorted coldly: "Then he has to come back, not to mention whether that person is the Shen Xingfeng that Lord Hou is looking for, even if he is, he may have died a long time ago with his sick appearance. Got eaten by dogs on the side of the road."

Wei Xuan curled his lips and said nothing.

……

Xiao Qihan sent troops for three months, the Qi army retreated steadily, and the Jin soldiers came fiercely, once reaching the border of Qi.

For a while, people in Daqi Kingdom were panicked.

The common people don't care about which family becomes the emperor. They only know that if there is a war, people will inevitably die, and food will be collected as military pay.

The news of successive defeats in Beijiang cast a deep shadow on everyone's hearts.

For a while, rumors spread.

Some people even said that Xiao Qihan was seriously injured in northern Xinjiang, and it was precisely because the army had no generals and the dragons had no leader that he was forced into such a mess by the golden soldiers.

The winter of the sixth year of Daqi.

Emperor Yun Xiuming sent Fuping General Ning Yuan with [-] elite soldiers to support Xiao Qihan in northern Xinjiang.

One month later, battle reports came from the front.

Fuping General Ning Yuan was ambushed by the enemy and died of serious injuries.

The emperor was shocked and called a group of ministers to discuss.

All the civil and military officials were noisy all afternoon in the inner hall of Qinzheng Palace. General Yu Rui volunteered to invite Ying, expressing his willingness to lead a hundred thousand troops to the northern border.

A civil official questioned: "General Yu is old, how can he lead troops to fight? I think it is impossible."

Yu Rui sneered, "In the past, Huang Zhong's sword was not old, so what's wrong with the old minister? And when our Daqi Kingdom is employing people, you will only talk quickly here. What is your intention? If Grand Tutor Zhang thinks the old minister is incompetent, Is Grand Tutor Zhang willing to lead his troops to the northern border?"

Zhang Taifu's face was stiff.

The famous General Fuping was killed in northern Xinjiang, and Xiao Qihan, the God of War in the Great Qi Kingdom, was also retreating steadily. As a civil servant, how could he lead the army to fight?

Zhang Taifu took a deep breath: "The old minister is just thinking about the general."

Yu Rui sneered again, "Teacher Zhang, the old minister remembers that your son is serving as the commander of the Qiushan camp, and everyone said that the tiger father has no dogs, so why not let him go with the old minister, with your son by his side, this tough battle will definitely be won .”

Zhang Taifu is old enough to have a son, so how could he be willing to send him to northern Xinjiang to live the life of licking blood on the tip of a knife.

He immediately knelt down to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the child is too young to take on such a heavy responsibility. Your Majesty has learned from you!"

Yun Xiuming's mind was about to explode after being quarreled by the officials all afternoon.

He slapped the table with a gloomy face, "Shut up, everyone!"

All the people in the hall knelt down.

Yun Xiuming looked at the only one standing in the crowd, and said in a respectful tone, "Uncle Huang, what do you think about this?"

Yun Yingshen chuckled: "General Yu has experienced many battles, I think he is the most suitable candidate."

Yun Yingshen's words still carry a lot of weight in the court.

The emperor was young and had just ascended the throne not long ago, so he was not very familiar with many state affairs, so he had great respect for this uncle.

Seeing that Yun Ying opened his mouth cautiously, the emperor immediately made a decision in his mind.

……

Three days later, Yu Rui led [-] elite cavalry and rushed to the northern border to join Xiao Qihan.

This is already the last army that can be transferred from the capital.

The seventh day when the army left the city.

A vast army of [-] troops surrounded the entire imperial city overnight.

The emperor was awakened from his dream, and the outside was already full of flames.

He looked anxious, and the concubine beside him was so frightened that she shed tears.

The emperor shouted, "Come on, what's the matter?"

The eunuch stumbled over from outside the door, knelt down on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I'm here..."

"What's calling?"

"Prince... the remnants of the former prince... and the sixth prince is here!"

"Nonsense! Yun Xiurui died long ago!"

The eunuch stumbled: "It's true! Your Majesty! Many people saw with their own eyes that it was the sixth prince! Now the enemy army has reached the gate of the city!"

The emperor's face changed drastically, "Where's the Imperial Forest Army?"

"Three thousand imperial guards are already at the gate of the city, but, but..."

Only relying on the [-] Imperial Forest Army in the imperial city, how could it be worth the tens of thousands of troops brought by Yun Xiurui.

"Hurry up and call Yu Rui back!"

"I've already gone to call, but...it will take a few days for General Yu to rush back, but [-] soldiers from the Dongma Camp are rushing to escort him."

The sound of fighting outside was endless, and the impact of "Boom, boom, boom" seemed like the rebels outside knocked open the door.

Surrounded by ministers, the emperor fled in a hurry.

The rebels and the Qi army had a bloody fight. On the seventh day, the rebels finally broke through the city gates and entered one by one. The magnificent palace was full of beacon smoke, and screams could be heard endlessly.

In the afternoon, Yu Rui finally arrived with his troops.

One hundred thousand troops easily captured the rebels and killed them on the spot.

In the emperor's bedroom, the sound of wailing shook the sky.

The queen knelt under the bed, out of breath from crying.

"Your Majesty, why are you so cruel, you left me as a concubine..."

On the day the rebels broke into the palace, they hanged the emperor on the city wall, and when Yu Rui came back, it was already too late.

The emperor died, and the ministers of the Qi State were in a mess, busy dealing with the rebels and evil parties, while arguing for the establishment of a new king.

Wearing a white national mourning dress, Yun Yingshen stood up slowly.

He stood on the jade-white stone steps of the main hall, looked coldly at the noisy ministers, and said loudly: "A country cannot be without a king for a day. Your Majesty dies, and there is only one son under his knees. He should be embraced as the new emperor." .”

The ministers were in an uproar.

Yun Xiuming has only one prince, who is born of Concubine Li, who is only six years old this year.

A six-year-old child can't even recognize the words.

"The eldest prince is only six years old!"

Yun Yingshen sneered, staring at the man with sharp eyes and said: "Don't talk about six years old, even if he is only one year old, he is also the legitimate prince of the Great Qi Kingdom! Why, is it possible that you can find a second person to sit in this position?" people?"

The man was silently choked by the promise.

This is a big treasonous thing, who dares to run into this crime?

Under Yun Yingshen's order, the young eldest prince, Yun Rong, who was only six years old, was put on a yellow robe, and carried by the eunuch to the dragon chair.

The little emperor didn't know what happened, and was crying on the dragon chair to find his mother and concubine.

The officials were helpless against the young emperor, but they couldn't blame him.

Yu Rui knelt down in the commotion, "A country cannot be without a king for a day. Although His Majesty has already ascended the throne, because His Majesty is really young, I still ask the prince to govern and assist the young emperor."

Yun Yingshen smiled: "General Yu, don't embarrass me, I don't like to meddle in these things."

Yu Rui said sternly, "The war in northern Xinjiang is tense, and the rebellion in central Beijing has been settled. I also ask the prince to put Daqi as the most important thing!"

After speaking, he leaned over and kowtowed three times.

All the ministers in the hall knelt down together, "My Lord please assist me!"

Yun Yingshen's face was calm, and he glanced at the crowd, as if he had compromised: "Since everyone said so, and considering His Majesty's young age, this king will take care of state affairs for the time being."

"My lord, Shengming!"

……

Northern Xinjiang.

Ming Lan took an urgent letter and hurried into Xiao Qihan's tent.

"Master Hou, the matter in the palace...is over."

Xiao Qihan put down his pen, took the letter from Ming Lan, glanced at it quickly, and immediately burned the letter paper under the lamp.

"Minglan."

"exist."

"Notify Jin Guo and let them retreat."

"Yes."

……

It was already the second spring day when Xiao Qihan rushed back to the capital.

After not coming back for nearly a year, everything in Ningyuanhou's mansion remains the same.

Shen Jun had been waiting for Xiao Qihan at the gate of Hou Mansion early in the morning.

"Qi Han, you are finally back."

Xiao Qihan stood at the gate of the Hou's Mansion, and the entire Hou's Mansion seemed to have run out to welcome the owner of the Hou's Mansion back.

He stood where he was, his eyes slowly sweeping across the crowd.

It seems to be looking for something.

Watch carefully over and over again.

"Qi Han, what are you looking at?"

Xiao Qihan came back to his senses, covering up the disappointment and loneliness in his eyes, "I still have to go to the palace, and I'll come back to see you later."

Shen Jun nodded: "OK."

Xiao Qihan changed into a suit of clothes, and took Ming Lan out of the Hou Mansion.

Ming Lan saw him riding a horse, walking towards the opposite direction of the palace, and frowned: "Master Hou, don't you want to go to the palace?"

"To see that six-year-old child?" Xiao Qihan pursed his lips and smiled for no reason.

Holding the horse's belly between his legs, he quickly ran towards Moshan.

Xiao Qihan dismounted, hurried to a tombstone, squatted down, looked softly, and reached out to caress it.

He has been buried here for more than a year.

It seems that Shen Xingfeng's tomb has never been worshiped by anyone, and there are some weeds growing around it. Xiao Qihan used his hands to remove the weeds in front of the tomb little by little.

Ming Lan frowned: "Master, should you come down and do this kind of thing?"

Xiao Qihan frowned and blocked Kai Minglan's hand, "You go back first."

Ming Lan frowned, and finally turned around and left.

Xiao Qihan removed the weeds little by little, and wiped the tombstone with a handkerchief.

He just sat down cross-legged, and his voice, which had been soaked in the wind and sand in northern Xinjiang for too long, became even hoarse and deep: "Xingfeng, I'm back."

"Did you know? Yun Xiuming is dead."

Xiao Qihan's eyes turned red: "Back then, he was the one who gave the order to sell Sui Yao... I haven't forgotten, I remember it all, and I will avenge Sui Yao and you."

The surroundings were quiet and quiet. He was used to the gravel wind in northern Xinjiang, but the calm and warm spring breeze in the capital made him a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Qihan stretched out his hand and stroked the nameless stele.

The eyes are full of dense red silk: "I dreamed of you last night, you were wearing a red wedding dress, so beautiful..." Xiao Qihan choked up, "I really don't want to wake up, I'll tell you secretly, when I wake up from the dream, I We all cried..."

Xiao Qihan put his head on the cold tombstone bit by bit, a strong sourness spread along his heart, the black hole in his body devoured him all the time, he clenched his teeth, Resisting the urge to cry, intermittent, suppressed cries escaped from his throat.

……

Yangzhou.

Qingquan Town.

Wen Jue limped back to the dilapidated Earth Temple.

"Shen Xingfeng?"

The boy on the ground got up full and looked at him walking strangely: "Wen Jue, are you looking for a man again?"

Wen Jue shrugged indifferently, walked up to him, took out a pancake wrapped in oil paper from his bosom, and stuffed it to Shen Xingfeng: "Today's guest is very generous, he gave me two taels of silver, he Said that I will look for me in the future, we will have a good life in the future, at least we don't have to live here."

Shen Xingfeng frowned: "Don't use this method to make money, I'd rather beg for food."

Wen Jue winked, and took out a pancake, biting it bit by bit.

"Little Xingfeng, don't be so twisted in life. Hey, you can only earn ten copper coins a day when you move goods at the dock, and you can only earn ten copper coins a day. I will find a man to sleep with them once, let alone a tael of silver. I'm so weak, you are another Sick man, going to fight against the goods, will you die of exhaustion? Well, I know that if you have dignity, dignity, huh, can dignity be eaten? Anyway, don’t steal or grab, there is nothing shameful, and if you meet better customers, you can still eat. It can make me happy." If Wen Jue took a bite of the pancake, he was vague: "Besides, if you save money earlier, you can find a good doctor for you."

Shen Xingfeng frowned, "I'm sorry, I'm the one who dragged you down."

He hesitated for a moment, as if he had compromised, "I'll also find the man tomorrow..."

"Don't." Wen Jue interrupted him: "Those men can torture people on the bed, just like you, it is possible to die on the bed, you better forget it."
