History of Yongwu

Dongjiao

"General, the road is slippery at night, why don't you take a rest on the small hill in front, and return after dawn," the guard stepped forward and suggested.

Wang Menglema looked around. Under the dark night, a little bit of starlight really couldn't illuminate the distance, and it was even more difficult to move under the strong wind. "Okay, take a rest."

On the leeward side, the soldiers of the first battalion hid behind the hills, huddled together with weapons, drowsy.Suddenly, on the official road not far away, the sound of the wind, mixed with the sound of horseshoes, was getting closer.

Wang Meng leaned on the weapon, opened his eyes quickly, touched the guard next to him, his eyes froze.

The guards close to him were extremely vigilant, and immediately turned out of the hill without making a sound, stuck behind the tree and looked towards the official road.Under the faint light, the guard carefully identified the flag floating in front of his eyes, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he retreated quietly.

"General" the guard's lowered voice was a little nervous, "That's the Fenglin army, and they are heading for the capital."

Fenglin Army!Wang Meng's face changed, and he was about to get up and chase after him, but then stopped, "You return to the barracks immediately, and lead the army to station near Tianlong Temple in the southern suburbs, and no one is allowed to approach the capital."

"Yes" the guard took the order and left quickly.

Wang Meng took a look, led the rest of the people, flew on the horse, and returned to the capital.

On the west gate, Ji'an is holding a golden order, and behind him is the Fenglin army. The general on the city looks at the banner, and then at the person holding the golden order. With a wave of his hand, his subordinates immediately open the city gate.

King Jin's Mansion

"Open the door... open the door quickly"

"Who?!" The person inside spoke in a bad tone.

"I am Yue Hong, the right general. I have something to ask to see the King of Jin."

The door opened suddenly, and the people inside saw Yue Hong, and hurriedly handed over to "General Yue"

"Where is King Jin?" Yue Hong didn't have time to politely say, he quickly entered the door and went straight to the back garden. The guard who opened the door was stunned for a moment, glanced at his face, and didn't dare to stop him.

In the bedroom, the howling wind made people feel uneasy. Qin Yu tossed and turned with a headache for a long time, and finally fell asleep in a daze.

"Who!"

"Your Majesty, General Yue seeks an audience"

Cousin Yuehong?Qin Yu was surprised, put on his clothes and opened the door. Before he could ask, Yue Hong rushed in and took his hand.

"Your Highness, General Li attacked the palace at night"

"Imperial Palace!" Qin Yu exclaimed, his expression changed immediately, "Go to the Imperial Palace with me immediately."

After fastening the buttons, Qin Yu hurriedly dragged Yue Hong out of the gate of the mansion. Before he could pass through the atrium, he heard a commotion in front of him, and Xiao Fuzi ran in quickly.

"My lord, the Fenglin army has surrounded the palace and is... attacking"

Fenglin Army... Qin Yu understood what was going on after a little thought, his eyes twitched, he pondered for a moment, and said to Yue Hong next to him, "Come with me"

Passing through the pine forest in the back garden, Yue Hong followed King Jin, walked for a while, and found that this place was no longer Prince Jin's mansion, before he could ask, his gaze fell on the person in front of the door, and he suddenly froze.

"Mu Xiaohou?" He muttered uncertainly.

Qin Yu glanced at him, and looked at the guard "Bei Ma" who was beside Sima Shaojun. The guard left in a hurry and returned after a while.

Getting on his horse, Qin Yu waved at the guards, "Follow me into the palace"

"Prince" Sima Shaojun stood in front of the door all the time, suddenly looked at him and said, "I said, it's not me"

"Yue Hong, watch him"

The night wind finally subsided, and in the darkness, the sound of horses' hoofs beating on the bluestone slab was crisp and loud. Qin Yu looked at the imperial palace not far away under the night, and suddenly remembered that night many years ago.

He had a premonition that, like many years ago, after tonight, some things might change forever.

Outside the west guard gate, Wang Meng led his army to stand under the city, the tall city tower showed a silhouette, just as his men were about to step forward, Wang Meng raised his hand to stop them.

"General Qi Yang of the Forbidden Army was ordered to return to the city, please open the door."

Above the city tower, the general guarding the city was surprised, stood up and looked down the city, "General Qi, why are you here... ah!" An arrow feather pierced the night sky, and pierced his chest, the general guarding the city fell It shook a bit, and fell to the top of the wall with a slap.

"Jin King's army was ordered to put down the rebellion and quickly opened the city gate"

The soldiers guarding the city looked shocked. Hearing the shouting from the city, they opened the city gate in a panic without thinking too much.Just as the city gate was opened, Wang Meng stood on the horse, his expression changed, and he led his army roaring in, heading straight for the Jin Palace.

In front of the gate of the Vermilion Palace, Qin Yu stood on the horse, saw the corpse lying on the ground, his brows trembled, and with the horse's belly clamped, he walked in quickly, praying that it was not too late for some things.

Not far away, the noise gradually came, and Li Han led the King Jin army to confront each other in front of the imperial steps of Changxin Hall.

With a glance, Qin Yu saw Chu Qian and the others, his eyelids twitched, "Stop!!"

With a yell, the people on both sides were stunned at the same time. Following the sound, King Jin was standing on the horse with a solemn and solemn expression. Chu Qian and Xianghou glanced at each other and lifted their sleeves.

"The minister waits to see the prince"

In Changxin Hall, Wang Gonggong stood behind Nangong Yuliang, saw Jin Wang coming from the window, his brows trembled, and he whispered "Queen Dowager"

Nangong Yuliang didn't answer, he was also terrified and scared in his heart, Ji'an should have led his men to capture King Jin, but King Jin appeared here.Did you expect it again?

"Wait and see what happens," he said calmly.

Suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps behind them, the two turned around at the same time, the young emperor stopped in fright, and called timidly, "Daddy, why is it so noisy outside?"

"It's okay." Nangong Yuliang smiled, still comforting, "Let the father-in-law take you to sleep for a while, so you don't have to wake up early today."

"Your Majesty, let's go." The prince consciously took the young emperor's hand and led him to the inner hall.

The sky has already shown a blue light, Nangong Yuliang looked down the imperial steps again, the outline of King Jin was finally clear, without the white jade hair crown, and the black hairband was floating. For some reason, it reminded him of the capital city in his youth. dandies.

"What's going on?" Qin Yu glanced at Chu Qian and the others, then looked at Li Han.

"Back to the prince..." Li Han was stunned, he looked at King Jin's expression, obviously feeling bad.

"Your Majesty" Chu Qian, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head, looking much calmer than the others. , clarify the government and the public, please the prince to rule the world, and save the people from the fire and water."

Qin Yu looked down at him, his temples twitched, and suddenly there was the sound of orderly footsteps behind him, as well as the sound of armor colliding.He turned around abruptly, and saw Wang Meng leading his army towards here, and the Jin army surrounded by Wang Qianhe, Xu Han and other important officials of the court.

"My humble servant sees the lord." Wang Meng knelt down, his eyebrows sank and said, "Fenglin's army is disobedient, and the last general has been killed!"

It's over... Qin Yu glanced across Wang Meng's blood-stained armor, and looked at the people kneeling behind him. Wang Qianhe and Xu Han stood with their hands behind their backs, looking at him full of hatred and complexity.

The imperial guards looked at the black-armored Jin army in front of them, the hand holding the knife was trembling, and they retreated unconsciously. They knew that being loyal at this moment was the difference between life and death.

"Prince" Wang Qianhe stood in front of the imperial steps and looked up at King Jin, "If you do something unrighteous, please step over the corpse of the old minister."

Xu Han and others were also standing behind him. In front of the Changxin Hall, there were only a handful of veteran officials who were overwhelmed and the trembling imperial guards.

Nangong Yuliang stood in the hall, looked at the person standing under the imperial steps, smiled self-deprecatingly, straightened his sleeves, and pushed open the door of the hall.

Squeak... The subtle sound of the palace gate was very clear at this moment. Everyone looked up there, the sun was just rising, and a ray of sunlight fell on Nangong Yuliang. Qin Yu looked up and suddenly felt tired .

"See the Queen Mother" Wang Qianhe and others knelt down.

In this silence, only King Jin and Nangong Yuliang stared at each other up and down. The sunlight dazzled him so much that he couldn't open his eyes. In the dimness, Nangong Yuliang saw that King Jin seemed to smile at him, and then the sword was unsheathed. Weng Ming sounded, his eyes blurred, and he heard a scream.

"I am late to rescue you, please forgive the Queen Mother." Throwing down his sword, Qin Yu kneeled on the ground like everyone else in his robe.

These long years are always endless, I am tired, I want to rest!

Everyone froze in place, only Nangong Yuliang stood there soberly, he didn't understand why he wasn't surprised.

"King Jin's loyalty can be learned from, how can he bear to blame, please ask the prince to eradicate the traitors for the court"

"The Minister's Order"

King Jin stood up slowly, and glanced at him before leaving. Nangong Yuliang always remembered the look in his eyes, as if he wanted to tell him something, but couldn't say it in the palace.

outside the palace gate

"Bastard" Qin Yu raised his hand and slapped Li Han somersault, "How dare you... how dare you take the initiative and dispatch troops to attack the imperial city?"

"Death penalty" Li Han immediately fell to his knees.

"Of course you are a capital crime!" Qin Yu stepped forward and pulled out Wang Meng's saber.

"My lord," Xianghou said suddenly, and knelt beside Li Han, "Chu Qian stole the lord's token and passed on false edicts. The ministers and General Li were both deceived by him. I beg the lord to pardon General Li."

King Jin turned to look at him. Qi Jinyu found that King Jin had hatred in his eyes. Before he could react, King Jin spoke again.

"Very good, since that's the case, you and Dr. Qi will lead people together and personally arrest Chu and other rebels."

"The humble minister led the decree" and the two kowtowed.

King Jin glanced at it, then flicked his sleeves and got on his horse to leave. Qi Jinyu turned his head to look in the direction where King Jin was leaving, and said to Xianghou in a low voice, "King Jin already hates you and me."

"That's right." Xiang Hou looked at him, "But...my lord, is there any other way to save your life and mine today?"

Qi Jinyu glanced back at him, got up slowly, and didn't answer.

In front of the gate of King Jin's Mansion, the corpses all over the ground had been cleaned up, but the blood stains still remained on the ground. Qin Yu got off his horse and stepped on the blood stains, and walked in with a cold face.

In the back garden, he pushed open the courtyard door of the side princess. Chu Lan was sitting in the room. Hearing the sound, she stood up subconsciously. When she saw King Jin, her face turned pale.

"Drag it out for the king"

"My lord... my lord" Chu Lan dodged the guards, rushed towards King Jin, and grabbed his sleeve, "I'm innocent... I'm just... just..."

"Listen to me!" Qin Yu grabbed her arm and said, "Chu Lan, I told you to be loyal!"

"I'm not a subject, I don't want to be loyal, what I want is not loyalty." Chu Lan struggled, looking at King Jin, "You lied to me, you have always been"

But what this king wants is loyalty!Qin Yu looked at her, the anger disappeared from his face, and he said calmly, "For your sake, Mrs. Chu can be saved from death, don't... have delusions, otherwise you won't even get this little bit of guilt."

Chu Lan was dragged away, her face was ashen and lifeless.

In front of the study door, Qin Yu hurried back and was taken aback when he saw Yue Hong and Sima Shaojun waiting outside the door.

"Prince" Sima Shaojun saluted, looked at him and said, "King Zhao should have escaped."

King Zhao?Qin Yu was puzzled for a moment, and immediately realized everything, looked at Yue Hong and said, "Let Wang Meng lead the army to intercept immediately, and be sure to capture King Zhao."

"Yes" Yue Hong left immediately.

The courtyard fell silent, and Xiao Fuzi in the distance caught a glimpse of the two of them and quietly retreated out.Qin Yu stood there watching for a while, then pushed the door and walked in. Sima Shaojun hesitated at the door for a moment, then followed in.

"Your Highness, why did you remind me?" Qin Yu sat behind the table and subconsciously glanced at the wooden box on the table.

"To prove that I did not deceive the prince, the queen mother... is already the queen mother," Sima Shaojun replied.

"and then?"

Sima Shaojun lowered his head slightly and didn't answer. Qin Yu looked at him for a while, and then said, "If your Highness has any thoughts, it's better to tell the truth, otherwise... I'm afraid something will happen."

"Today's incident was not accidental." Sima Shaojun was still in the same posture, without looking at him and continued, "General Li will be ordered by a token because everyone has already believed that this will happen sooner or later."

"so?"

"So you have no choice but to go further"

"Sima Shaojun" Qin Yu looked at him, squinting his eyes slightly, "What I'm asking is, what are you plotting so much about my advance and retreat?"

Conspiracy... Sima Shaojun folded his hands together, finally looked at him, took a breath and said, "If you want to implement your state affairs in Mingyue, An Ziqi alone will never be able to do it. You need someone who is familiar with Mingyue and understands Mingyue." There is no one who is more suitable than me for a person with an intricate and noble relationship.”

"Your Highness wants to go back to China?" Qin Yu smiled.

"I would be wrong if I didn't think so, wouldn't I?" Sima Shaojun looked at him and said.

"That's right." Qin Yu nodded in agreement with his words, and said with a slight smile, "This king's further progress is the real disaster for Mingyue. You, Sima Shaojun, will never leave the capital even half a step away."

Qin Yu walked out, Sima Shaojun quickly stood up, caught up with him and said, "My lord, this is good for you and me, you should know that now you have..."

"His Royal Highness, not everyone is like you. They insist on ruling the world and fighting for the Nine Tripods." Qin Yu suddenly turned around and looked at him coldly.

His face changed, Sima Shaojun clenched his hands, looked at him and said, "You think you still have a way out..."

"I have!" Qin Yu yelled, raised his hand to grab his lapel, put it down again, and said with a trembling brow, "It's not enough for you to destroy Lord Mu, once is not enough, you have to destroy it." Is it okay if I retreat a second time?"

"Hehe...you think you can escape all of this without me, do you think it's really because of me? Your Highness! You were born here!!" Sima Shaojun looked at his back and calmed down a bit, sighing sadly said "There is no retreat!"

King Jin walked slowly, as if he didn't hear his words, and left here. Sima Shaojun looked up at the tree in the yard. More than ten years ago, there were two children standing under the tree, one of them was holding a long scroll, Reading Tang Sheng's romantic sentences.

Your Highness, you are still so naive, you can see through the general trend of the world, you can see those conspiracies and schemes clearly, but you just can't see clearly everything in front of you.
