The devil is coming

Chapter 849 Princess Fu
"Scent!"
"bow down!"
Zhao Yuannian, dressed in a python robe, stood at the front. Behind him were family members and officials from Chuzhou City.
There is one day every year in the Qian Kingdom, which is a ritual for the clan.
On this day, both the officials in the capital and the vassal kings from various places must treat it with solemnity and worship seriously.
Because this day is the official sacrifice of Qian Kingdom.
Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong of the Qian Kingdom were brothers, and the day of official sacrifice was the day of memorial ceremony for the fathers of the two emperors.
Huangpao, the emperor of Taizu, took over the country and seized the land. It stands to reason that he would be granted titles three generations earlier, and his father would also be given the title of emperor.
After Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne as the emperor's younger brother, firstly, in order to block the mouth of the world, and secondly, in order to show his orthodoxy, he incorporated his father's memorial day into the grand ceremony and made it a public sacrifice for the world.
This means that Jiang Qian’s country’s orthodoxy was raised to that of his father’s generation;
In short, it is to weaken the sense of "violation" of taking over the world from his brother. He respects the "father" who started the family. He and his brother are equal. Orthodoxy is passed down from his father. From the point of etiquette, it is much more legitimate and logical to hand it over to my brother.
Emperor Daqian Renzong, the grandfather of today's Daqian family, reduced the extravagance of state sacrifices on this day and changed it to a clan sacrifice.
This Emperor Renzong left a very "beautiful" mark in the history of the Qian Kingdom. He reigned for a long time and was always frugal. He appointed wise ministers and was considerate, creating a great dynasty of great Qian people. era, praised by scholar-bureaucrats.
But it was from his time,
The cavalry policy established by Emperor Taizong after the failure of the Northern Expedition began to gradually weaken. The number of the Qianguo cavalry, which was once somewhat plentiful, began to decline, that is, the actual number and combat power.
At the same time, the Southwest Tusi Rebellion emerged and lasted for decades;
The Northern Qiang began to rebel, causing trouble for one side, and once established themselves as kings;
The coastal bandits are infested, and a group of large merchants represented by the Wu family have almost become the uncrowned kings of the South China Sea;
The largest peasant uprising caused by local sects since the founding of the People's Republic of China broke out in Qian State.
It is said that
The third prince of the Yan Kingdom once wrote a zhezi to his father Ji Runhao, hoping to use the "Renzong" of the Qian Kingdom as a benchmark to establish a new plan for Yan;
At that time, there were many powerful families in Dayan, and the imperial power was under pressure. Officials loyal to the court were also trying every possible means to try to break the situation. The third prince just presented his piece of information.
Emperor Yan Ji Runhao received the discount and quickly rewarded the third prince.
But Eunuch Wei remembered that in the royal study that night, after watching the Third Prince's Excerpt, the emperor just shook his head casually and said with a smile:
"The benevolence of Renzong lies in the scholars; the virtue of Renzong lies in the scholar-bureaucrats.
It's a pity that I, Dayan, have few scholars. "
Eunuch Wei remembered that the emperor slowly broke the folds, making a crisp sound.
in the future,
When Eunuch Wei came to the prince's residence and witnessed with his own eyes Zheng Fan, who was just a guard general, picked up the scabbard and smashed it into the third prince's crotch...
"Crack!"
In Eunuch Wei's mind, the scene that night in the imperial study room immediately emerged;
perhaps,
Some things are doomed early on.
...
nowadays,
The identity and status of Prince Fu's Mansion has not been reduced, and has even increased a lot compared to when the former Prince Fu was there.
During the reign of the late King Fu, on the one hand, he was deliberately arrogant and extravagant, and raised himself like a pig, which indeed turned him into a fat pig. In the story, the court and the officials had been admonishing King Fu to take good care of his body, and to take care of his body. Mo Fulu is too thick.
But are you really just worried about your body?
Zhao Yuannian remembered that King Fu once said to him,
In this world, unless your family members say you are too fat and advise you to lose weight, you think they care about you, but in fact, they are looking at your jokes.
King Fu died in battle, and the cause of his death was somewhat mysterious, because Mianzhou City was not breached that night, but King Fu was still beheaded.
later,
It is said that a garrison general took the head of King Fu and went to King Jingnan to claim credit;
Later, the garrison general climbed up the ranks, and eventually became the military meritorious king of Dayan.
Ironically, because King Fu died at his hands, the death of King Fu was accompanied by the rise of that person, and the value of his death also rose.
There is even a saying that King Fu could have survived, but after seeing the garrison general, he felt that he would become a close friend of Daqian in the future, so he took the risk to get rid of him, but unfortunately, he failed.
The death of the late King Fu left a political legacy to Prince Fu's Mansion. After all, the late King Fu settled in Mianzhou City on orders. The officials and the court felt somewhat guilty. No one was willing to take responsibility for the harsh clan and harsh relatives. reputation.
Unlike the former and current emperors of Dayan, they were almost shameless in their harshness towards the clan.
But King Fu now abides by the "etiquette" after the Yan army captured Chuzhou City.
The Wen family betrayed the country and moved to the Yan country with the Yan army. Only by contrast can it be better highlighted. Prince Fu's Mansion can be said to have withstood the temptation and adhered to the bottom line.
After that,
Zhao Yuannian, who was canonized and inherited the title, began to take the initiative to request the court to reduce his salary and treatment, in order to reduce the pressure on the court and train his troops to become stronger.
If he took the lead in this way, other vassal kings would be embarrassed not to follow suit.
Next, there were a series of other things. In the name of the clan, Zhao Yuannian did not hesitate to sell out the interests of his own class in order to gain favor from the court and officials.
Not only was King Fu's position as stable as Mount Tai, but also his power was constantly being elevated.
The imperial court needed him, a sensible vassal king, to attack the clan, and for this, he would definitely be willing to give some sweet dates.
nowadays,
The number of guards under the jurisdiction of Prince Fu's Mansion in Chuzhou City has been increased to five thousand.
There were originally two large camps outside Chuzhou City. When the Yan army invaded, one of the large battalions was transferred to three sides. The remaining large camp was directly overrun by the Yan army.
Nowadays, there are three large camps in Chuzhou City, and there are also the guards of Prince Fu's Mansion outside.
The Yan people's march south had torn the reputation of the Qian Kingdom to pieces. For this reason, the Qian Kingdom did expand their armaments after the war and eliminated as much water as possible from their books.
Especially in the north of Qian Kingdom, because they realized that relying solely on three sides could not really stop the Yan people's cavalry from going south, they expanded their troops among the important towns in various states.
The purpose is to hope that when the Yan people want to go south again in the future, they can be intercepted here and cannot be flattened again.
The festival is over;
Zhao Yuannian turned around and thanked all the clan members and officials who were present, and everyone returned the gift.
It can be seen that everyone's expressions are somewhat solemn;
This is not a deliberate expression on such a sacrificial occasion, but because bad news keeps coming from the north, especially the northeast.
In these days, some rumors began to spread in the city, saying that the Yan army would attack Chuzhou City again.
There was nothing I could do. I had been here before, and now that I heard that the Yan Army seemed to be invading again, I would naturally think that the Yan Army was still coming towards my home.
The people are like this,
These gentlemen in Chuzhou City were naturally even more uneasy.
"I'm tired of being alone. Please wait a moment. I will go to the back house to see my mother and concubine before I meet with you all."
"Your Majesty, do as you please."
"Your Majesty, do as you please."
Zhao Yuannian bowed slightly and walked into the back house.
He has grown up and matured. He has grown a beard, wears a python robe, and has a slight sway in his steps. He has the air of a clan lord.
After what happened that year, he seemed to be a changed person.
When he reached the back, he stopped and sighed.
Immediately, he regained his composure and walked into the back house where his mother was.
The eunuchs and maidservants outside quietly dispersed under Zhao Yuannian's wave.
Zhao Yuannian walked over the steps and saw his princess and two concubines kneeling on the futon with his mother.
They are also part of the clan. The men perform sacrifices outside and the women do the same in the inner room.
Zhao Yuannian looked at his mother-in-law. Time seemed to have left no mark on her mother-in-law. She was still so understanding and gentle.
"You all go down first. I have something to say to my mother and concubine."
"Yes, my lord."
"Yes, my lord."
The two concubines helped the princess and went down together.
The mother and son were the only ones left in the hall where the memorial objects were placed.
Zhao Yuannian walked over and helped his mother and concubine up.
Princess Fu stood up and sat down.
Zhao Yuannian offered tea, and Princess Fu accepted it.
Princess Fu said, "I heard that there are a lot of officials coming today."
Zhao Yuannian nodded and said: "A lot of news came from the northeast. One moment, it was said that the main force of the Yan Army had invaded. The next moment, it was said that a partial division of the Yan Army had left the battlefield. The next moment, it was said that the Yan Army was attacking. The flag of King Pingxi has everything.
A few days ago, it was said that Lanyang City was captured by the Yan people, but the latest news is that Lanyang City has been recaptured by the official army and the Yan army was repulsed. "
Princess Fu looked at her son and said, "What does my son think?"
Zhao Yuannian shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. Commander Zu is on the third side, and Meng Shuai is leading the army in Liangdi. The three sides are not stable either. They have also dispatched several soldiers and horses to Liangdi. Meng Shuai wants to It is impossible to come back in time, the Yan people may attack in the east and attack in the west, Meng Shuai will definitely consider this."
The relationship between Prince Fu and Meng Gong can be described as excellent;
At the beginning, Meng Gong was dragged down by his father's affairs, but when he reached middle age, he was depressed and frustrated;
It was the old King Fu who appreciated him and recommended him. In the end, Meng Gong fell into the eyes of old Xianggong Zhong and was able to rise in the army.
Back then, the Chu army led by General Nian invaded the border. It was Meng Gong who organized the army to intercept General Nian. That battle established Meng Gong's status in the army.
During the New Year and holidays, Meng Gong and Prince Fu's Mansion also exchanged gifts and favors.
"What mother means is, do you think he is here?"
Zhao Yuannian understood.
Said: "He is a prince now, mother. The prince of the Yan Kingdom is different from the prince of our Qian Kingdom. No, I am the vassal king, hiss... no, he is also the vassal king, that..."
The current King Fu, who had been dignified and dignified during the sacrificial ceremony outside, suddenly had his tongue and thoughts knotted.
Because his mother-in-law mentioned that person in front of him.
When the image of that person changed from the so-called "Ping Xiwang of Yan State" to a specific person, the memory that had been buried for many years seemed to suddenly come back to him.
"Ugh."
Zhao Yuannian sighed,
Road:
"In the Yan Kingdom, he is now one person below ten thousand people. Even the emperor of the Yan Kingdom has to coax him to let him go. The prince of the Yan Kingdom is even sent to him to raise him.
Since ancient times, only the vassal town had sent protons to the capital, but when it came to him, it was the other way around.
The son felt that there was no need for him to be so desperate. "
"No, he's different."
Princess Fu spoke.
Zhao Yuannian was stunned for a moment.
"Will my son be angry if my mother talks about him like this?"
"My son can't. He understands his mother's sacrifice. If there was no mother back then, it would be hard to say whether the son would be able to inherit Prince Fu's title or whether Prince Fu's Mansion would still exist."
In Zhao Yuannian’s understanding,
His own mother-in-law had personally served King Pingxi for one night.
But he would not think that his mother was debauched because of the situation at that time. The Yan army, like wolves and tigers, poured into Chuzhou City and destroyed countless families. The preservation of Prince Fu's Mansion depended on his mother.
He wanted to hate, and he should hate that man, because that man once carried his father's head to claim credit, that man once asked his mother to serve him;
On this point, Zhao Yuannian's understanding is correct.
At least, it's a lot more demanding than men who are insulted by the women around them because they are unable to protect them, and end up insulting and hating women for their own indiscretions.
just,
What Zhao Yuannian didn't know was that nothing really happened between King Pingxi and his mother.
My mother was ready to "sacrifice" at that time, but she didn't fall for it.
Princess Fu always thinks of this,
In the early years, I secretly scolded the man for being ignorant, even though he was like that, he still refused to pretend to be aloof.
A woman's mind, no, to be precise, it's a human mind. After stripping away the big things, she often has an unusual thought in the absolutely safe place in her heart.
But later, I heard that the man was fighting all the way in the Jin Kingdom, and that the man was at the height of his power in the Yan Kingdom;
Princess Fu sometimes couldn't help but think,
That man's original "reservation",
Is he already convinced in his heart that he will become famous in the future?
If we really want to compare the two parties according to their current status, she is the old princess of the clan, and that one is a serious military king with a different surname. Even if she blatantly recommends herself as a pillow, in the eyes of outsiders, they will probably think that she is trying to reach a higher level?
Of course,
Although the guy didn't really want him at the beginning, he still ate less tofu. He even advised him to eat more, but not to become haggard and lose weight. If he loses weight, his hand will feel bad.
This misunderstanding,
A mother would never explain to her son. She could never tell her son that that man didn’t sleep with me in the first place.
It is impossible for your son to ask how that man slept with you in the first place.
Mother and son, each with their own thoughts and thoughts, just sat like this.
Princess Fu raised her head, looked at her son, and said:
"In the past few days, my mother always dreams when she sleeps, and she feels very restless."
"Son, go and ask for a doctor right now. Mother doesn't have to worry about things outside. Mother has to take good care of herself."
Princess Fu bit her lip and said:
"He's coming."
"Where did mother find out?"
Princess Fu stretched out her hand and pointed at her chest,
Road:
"Feel."
"..." Zhao Yuannian.
When Princess Fu saw this, she smiled mockingly and said, "Son, don't blame me for not respecting yourself."
Zhao Yuannian immediately knelt down and
Road:
"My son never meant this, and my son would never think like this. Mother, when my father was here, my son was a little ridiculous and did not do his job properly.
Later, after the Yan army invaded Chuzhou City, his son was even more frightened and made all kinds of ugly appearances.
It was only through his mother's turn that he was able to save the palace.
Since then, in the past few years, my son has been reflecting and thinking about his mistakes. His son has grown up and matured. His son is not a bastard.
Since the mother said this to her son,
It means that the mother is really worried that her son will not have time to react. It is the mother who is thinking about her son and does not hesitate to harm her own face. The son is grateful and grateful. "
"My son..."
Princess Fu also knelt down and hugged her son's head.
"Okay, mother said he is here, which proves that among the news coming from the front, the one about King Pingxi personally leading his army south to Wigan Country is very close to ten.
In fact, it is very likely that the Yan army will pass through Chuzhou City just like the last time a few years ago. "
"Does my son really believe what my mother says?"
Zhao Yuannian said: "Once it is raw, it will be familiar again."
Princess Fu's face immediately turned red.
Zhao Yuannian continued: "March and fight are extremely dangerous things. Every step cannot be made without mistakes. Since we succeeded last time, why not continue on the same path this time?"
Only then did Princess Fu realize that she had misunderstood her son's meaning.
"What do you want, my son? Can the army outside the city defend Chuzhou City?"
Zhao Yuannian shook his head and said, "My mother didn't know something, but the officials gave me grace. My palace guard army was expanded to five thousand, and I was appointed to take on part of the defense of Chuzhou City.
But over the years, my son has not dared to take a step beyond the realm of thunder. The guard army nominally belongs to my palace, but except for my son who goes to reward me during holidays, no one has been really placed there.
Over the years, the imperial court has organized and trained many new armies, and also transferred many generals and veterans from other ministries.As for the local troops and horses, the establishment seemed to have expanded, but the amount of troops, food, grass and weapons could not keep up in time.
The number of soldiers and horses outside Chuzhou City is much larger than before, but in fact it is still just a showpiece. If a fight really breaks out...and if it is the one who personally leads the army, his subordinates must be the real elite of the Yan army. My son thinks …”
Zhao Yuannian shook his head at his mother-in-law.
Princess Fu immediately asked: "What should we do?"
"It's easy."
The mother and son were startled at the same time. They raised their heads and found a dwarf hanging upside down from the beam.
With a "scratch", San Ye did a backflip, followed by a three-and-a-half-turn turn, and landed smoothly.
"It was our master who sent me here in advance."
After Zhao Yuannian was shocked, he immediately reacted,
Road:
"How are you, father?"
