I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

May.

An ordinary morning.

As soon as the sky turned pale, Yirenju was full of diners.

On the stage, a storyteller wearing a robe sat upright, holding the latest Daqian monthly magazine in his hand, reading it intently, with an incomparably solemn expression.

"The former emperor and his ministers were cautious, so he sent his ministers to take important matters when he was about to collapse.

Since receiving the order, Suye has lamented, fearing that the entrustment will not work and hurt the late emperor's sagacity.

Now that the south has been set, the army is full, and the three armies will be rewarded, and the central plains will be set in the north.

May your Majesty entrust your ministers with the effect of reviving the thieves, if not effective, you will be punished, so as to sue the spirit of the late emperor."

"This is."

In the audience, the diners who were still pouring wine froze after hearing this, subconsciously looking at the storyteller.

The storyteller continued to recite: "Your Majesty should also seek advice on his own, to consult the good way, to study the elegant words, and to pursue the late emperor's last edict. I am very grateful for your kindness. Now you should stay away, and you will cry when you look at the table, and you don't know what to say."

The voice fell.

The storyteller's vicissitudes of face showed a look of disappointment, he looked around, and said in a heavy tone: "This is the headline on the front page of the latest issue of Daqian Monthly, and it is called--Teacher's List!"

As soon as the three words of the list of teachers came out, the whole restaurant fell into silence.

A younger diner frowned and said in a low voice: "I don't know who wrote such an article in such a loud voice, condescending to teach the Holy One."

As soon as this word comes out.

Several middle-aged men next to him looked at the young diners together, with angry expressions on their faces, and said under pressure: "Fang Xiang's article is simple in words, every word comes from the heart, full of affection, how did it come to you?" The mouth has changed!"

Hearing this, the young diner was startled for a moment, then panicked on his face, and hurriedly said: "I didn't know that this article was written by Fang Xiang."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by another diner.

"Even if it wasn't written by Fang Xiang, the sincere words in this article are enough to make people cry!"

"For the imperial court and for His Majesty, Prime Minister Fang has devoted all his heart and soul, and now for the great cause of the late emperor, he has personally led the army to conquer Yan and Zhou in the north. He is so loyal and loyal. Why not teach His Majesty a few words?"

Hearing this, the young diner recalled Fang Xiang's efforts for the common people in the past two years, and recalled the content of the article just now. He couldn't help feeling ashamed, lowered his head, and said nothing.

at the same time.

More and more diners are coming to Yirenju.

Seeing this scene, the storyteller put away his complicated emotions, picked up the newspaper, and read it again.

The diners who were seated were all shocked when they heard the words "become a teacher". They subconsciously looked at the storyteller on the stage, pulled themselves together, and listened attentively.

When they heard that Fang Xiang was going to personally lead the army to conquer Yan and Zhou, they all showed excitement.

They have long heard about the matter of Chen Bing in Yan State.

Originally thought that the court would make a compromise and let General Bai withdraw from Zhou.

Unexpectedly, the imperial court chose to face Yan's army head-on.

And Fang Xiang personally led the army to go out.

Someone looked excited.

Naturally, someone looked worried.

"I heard that the Yan Kingdom has sent a full 30 troops this time, and 10 of them are Dayan cavalry. The main force of the imperial court is in the Zhou Kingdom. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to rashly start a war with the Yan Kingdom? "

"What's inappropriate! I have muskets, cannons, and a newly recruited army of 30. Why should I be afraid of Yan's cavalry!"

"However, Dayan's iron cavalry is powerful, so I'm afraid they won't be afraid of my artillery."

Before the words were finished, it aroused the dissatisfaction of the diners around.

"A year ago, you all said the same thing. Zhou Guohu's army was so powerful and invincible! The result? The imperial court's Northern Expedition only took half a year, and the army has already arrived in the south of Shanxi!"

"Now you are saying how powerful Yan's cavalry are. If they are as powerful as you say, with Fang Xiang's strategy, how can they personally lead the troops?"

"Furthermore, the war with the Yan Kingdom this time is not caused by us, but by the Yan Kingdom's initiative to invade. In order to protect the people and the generals, Prime Minister Fang personally leads the army and goes out to meet the enemy. What's wrong?"

"Even if you hold a sword in your hand and meet an enemy, you still want to kneel down and beg for mercy!"

"It's just that there are too many cowards like this, and I have been bullied by all countries because of my hard work!"

The diners looked indignant and talked a lot.

Originally worried that the imperial court would not be able to beat the diners of the Yan Kingdom, when they saw this scene, they immediately shut up and dared not speak again.

at the same time.

The storyteller on the stage was still reciting the list of teachers on the headlines.

The beginning part describes the significance and legitimacy of going out to meet the enemy.

The middle part tells about the friendship between Fang Xiang and the first emperor, and the entrustment of Fang Xiang before the death of the late emperor.

The words were simple, but very earnest, and everyone present showed sentimentality when they heard it.

In the latter part, Fang Xiang taught His Majesty how to govern the country, from civil to military, from inside to outside, very clear.

After hearing this, many of the diners, who had read poetry and books, showed signs of agreement and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"It is really a blessing through the ages to be able to have a good face in my work!"

With the release of the latest issue of Dagan Monthly.

In a very short period of time, the list of teachers spread throughout Daqian.

Even Emperor Zhou and Emperor Yan, who were thousands of miles away, saw this article.

State of Zhou, Imperial Palace, Qianqing Palace.

The slightly haggard Zhou Huang looked at the newspaper in his hand with an incomparably dignified expression.

I saw "I should stay away now, and I don't know what to say.".

Complex emotions appeared in his eyes.

On the one hand, he sincerely admires Fang Xiu for writing such an article.

On the other hand, he hated the empress of the Qian Kingdom for getting such a virtuous minister.

In addition, there is anxiety, apprehension, and resentment.

After reading this list of teachers, he felt more and more that it was so terrible to fight against this enemy who was dismissive before.

If Fang Xiu survived, even if Zhou and Yan repelled the Qian Kingdom this time, it would not take long for the Qian Kingdom to rise again and make a comeback.

this moment.

He clearly realized that the Qian Kingdom is no longer what it used to be!

Even if he did not carry out the New Deal, and there was no turmoil in various ways, the imperial court may not necessarily be the opponent of Qianguo!
Thinking of this.

His expression became more and more haggard. He looked at the eunuch beside him and asked, "Is there any news from the eldest princess?"

The eunuch hurriedly said: "Return to Your Majesty, the spies of Dongchang have found out that there is indeed a woman hiding in Xiangguo's mansion, but I don't know if it is His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Hearing this, Emperor Zhou basically confirmed his guess. If nothing unexpected happened, his sister should be imprisoned by Fang Xiu, but he didn't know why he did it.

Sighing in my heart, I stopped thinking about these minutiae, but asked, "How is the situation on the front line?"

The eunuch hesitated for a moment, and said: "Bai Qi's army resisted desperately, and the Huben army still hasn't broken through the first line of defense."

Hearing this, Zhou Huang was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Continue to recruit guards from all over the country, and let them rush to Lingbei Road within half a month to support the Huben army at all costs!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

A certain hunting ground on the outskirts of Yan Country.

The white-haired Emperor Yan put the bow in his hand on the table, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and asked: "Can the envoys I sent to the Qian Kingdom send back news?"

The personal eunuch at the side hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy is still in Chang'an, but"

Emperor Yan raised his eyes to look at him, frowned and said, "Say what you have to say, don't hesitate in front of me."

Hearing this, the eunuch hurriedly said, "I want to say, although the envoy hasn't sent back the news, there is an article on the front page of the Dagan Monthly Magazine, which is called "Teacher's Biao", which was written by the Prime Minister of the Qian Kingdom, Fang Xiu."

The voice fell.

Emperor Yan was startled for a moment, then showed an expression of interest, looked at the eunuch, waved his hand and said, "Read it for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The eunuch stood in front of Emperor Yan, took out a newspaper from his arms, and read it seriously.

"Now the south has been set, the soldiers are full, and the three armies will be rewarded, and the central plains will be set in the north. The common people will be exhausted, the villains will be wiped out, and the cadres will be revived. This is why this minister repays the late emperor and is loyal to your majesty."

At the beginning.

Yan Huang's expression was still full of disdain.

However, as he listened, his expression gradually became serious, and when he heard the ending, his expression was already very serious.

this moment.

In a trance, he actually had some doubts about the accuracy of his information.

Although this article by Prime Minister Qian Guo has the power of overwhelming the country, it means a desperate fight.

But between the words, there is an indescribable calmness.

If he remembered correctly, the Prime Minister of the Qian Kingdom is not yet in his thirties, how could he write such a vicissitudes of life.

"If Prime Minister Qian is allowed to govern the country, within ten years, he will definitely become my confidant's big trouble!"

Thinking of this, Emperor Yan's old face showed a stern look, and a strong killing intent burst out from his body.

He looked at the eunuch beside him, and ordered solemnly: "Send a letter to Ban Hongfei, seize every opportunity, and kill Fang Xiu, Prime Minister of Qian Kingdom!"

Ban Hongfei was the chief general sent by Emperor Yan.

Before leaving.

Yan Guo once told him that if Bai Qi did not return to defense, he would fight all the way to Chang'an.

If you can capture Chang'an, you will do your best. If you can't, you will shrink your defenses and occupy the relatively wealthy three states in the northern part of Qian Kingdom.

If Bai Qi returns to defense, turn around and attack Bai Qi.

in short.

Ban Hongfei has two goals in his expedition this time.

Either come to Chang'an, or kill Bai Qi.

but.

After reading the list of teachers, Yan Huang changed his original mind.

In addition to the soldiers approaching Chang'an and beheading Bai Qi, a more important goal was added, which was to behead the prime minister of the Qian Kingdom——Fang Xiu!
It has been a day since the list of teachers was published.

There was a storm in Chang'an City.

The officials who originally advocated peace talks were all affected to varying degrees.

At the behest of the Empress, the Minister of Rites headed by the Zhuhe faction returned home and retired early.

The reason for this is simple.

Fang Xiang is about to go on an expedition and leave Chang'an, so his control over the officials will definitely decline.

He didn't want to fight bloody battles at the border. When he turned his head, the officials in Chang'an had already started discussing how to make peace with Yan.

Now that you have decided to fight Yan, you must have the determination to lose everything. Only in this way can you win the final victory.

If you hold on to it from the beginning, fight if you can beat it, and negotiate a peace if you can't win it, the final result will definitely be unsatisfactory!
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The little empress was holding a teacher list in her hands, her eyes were slightly red and swollen.

She has read this article dozens of times, and every time, she can read new insights from it.

She knew that Fang Xiu, that traitor, couldn't write such an article.

Maybe it was another snowy day, an article taught to him by an expert outsider.

but.

The sincere and sincere feelings in it, the little empress felt very clearly.

"Fang Xiu. Xiangfu"

Wu Mingkong was holding the newspaper, his beautiful peach eyes filled with tears.

It has been more than a year since turning a deer into a horse.

Her feelings for Fang Xiu had undergone a huge change.

From disgust and resentment at the beginning, to liking and dependence later.

She clearly knew that both her body and mind, she had completely belonged to this traitor who once called a deer a horse.

If Fang Xiu hadn't made up his mind, he would have personally led the army.

The little empress would not agree to anything, so she asked him to come to Yongzhou in person.

"Damn traitor, you know how to disobey me!"

"This time, I won't send you off without saying anything!"

Wu Mingkong looked at the teacher's list, remembered his decisive tone before, and said through gritted teeth.

The voice fell.

A familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty's golden words, you can't go back on your word when the time comes."

Fang Xiu stood in front of the curtain with a smile on his face.

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu in front of him, pouted his lips, and said angrily: "What are you doing here, you are not welcome in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Fang Xiudao: "I come to bid farewell to Your Majesty."

Wu Mingkong was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously said: "So fast?"

Fang Xiudao: "All preparations have been made. It is meaningless to stay in Chang'an for a few more days."

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong was silent for a while, and said: "However, according to the usual practice, a minister like you should have a farewell etiquette when he leads troops to go out on an expedition. I have already sent the Ministry of Rites to handle this matter, and it will be ready within two days at most. .”

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "It is enough for His Majesty to send me off."

Wu Mingkong opened his mouth, wanting to say something, seeing Fang Xiu's expression, he didn't want to keep him after all.

War is no child's play.

Compared with the love between them and those cumbersome etiquettes, time is more important.

Thinking of this.

Wu Mingkong didn't say any more, stood up from the dragon chair, walked up to Fang Xiu, stretched out his arms to hug him, and pressed his head against his chest.

a while.

She slowly opened her arms, and before Fang Xiu could speak, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Fang Xiu again.

"Let's go, I'll see you off"

Wu Mingkong held back his tears, trying to make himself look stronger, and said in a trembling voice.

[Emotion value +10000]

The system beep sounds.

Fang Xiu sighed in his heart, turned and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

An hour later.

The outskirts of Chang'an City.

Fang Xiu, dressed in a brocade robe, stood where he was.

Wu Mingkong, who put on women's clothes, stared at him with watery peach blossom eyes, and said in a trembling voice:
"Father, promise me, you must"

Not finished yet.

Fang Xiu covered his mouth.

"Your Majesty, don't set the flag"
