The devil is coming

Chapter 878 You Are Scared
"He cried?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Ha ha."
Ji Chengjue put down the book in his hand and smiled.
Wei Zhonghe also laughed together.
"Your Majesty, I don't know why you rub him like this?"
In fact, the news of the attack on the capital arrived as early as the morning. The information from the Secret Service was much faster than the military report.
Because military reports have to be reported level by level, and they have to be responsible for inspections at all levels;
Furthermore, King Pingxi, who was fighting on the front line, probably didn't have the inclination to send someone to Yanjing early to report on this earth-shattering victory.
After all, he is no longer the Colonel Zheng who has never seen the world before. There are great victories here anyway, and he can't escape. It would be a shame to go out of his way to report the victory.
Moreover, King Pingxi himself was still running for his life at that time, and he had no intention of doing so.
The intelligence from the Secret Intelligence Department is first-hand, but it may not be really accurate. After all, some self-interested information was sent back under the guise of the Secret Intelligence Department. This kind of thing was not done by the emperor when he was still a prince.
And this news is so... exaggerated.
But such exaggerated news, coupled with the identity of the person involved,
Emperor,
After reading it, I was immediately convinced.
He Zheng Fan,
Really exposed Shangjingcheng!
Therefore, when the emperor went to see Nian Yao, he actually knew the news of the great victory, but he suppressed his emotions and did not reveal them.
Facing Wei Zhonghe’s inquiry,
The emperor smiled,
road;
"When you have something happy, you will be happier if you find someone to tell you about it; when you find someone to tell you something, it will be more interesting to pretend that you don't know.
After thinking about it, when such a person is needed, it seems that he is the only one. "
"Your Majesty, the cabinet is here to ask whether the news of the defeat in the capital needs to be spread inside and outside the capital to share the joy of the people."
"The person named Zheng still doesn't know if he can come back safely, so he should suppress the news first."
"The slave understands."
"If anything happens to the person named Zheng, even if he goes to the capital and is defeated ten times more, I will still feel that I have suffered a big loss."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The prince of Pingxi has his own destiny. I believe that the prince will definitely turn disaster into good luck."
"I also think he will not die. It seems that no one in this world can kill him."
Wei Zhonghe shut up, because the emperor's words included himself.
The implication may be that even the emperor cannot do this.
Regardless of whether the emperor really thinks so, as a personal servant, he cannot accept these words.
"It's a pity. If we, the Yan State, have sufficient reserves of national strength at this time, we can cooperate with the attack on the capital, and when the people are in chaos, we can send out a large army, recruit the people, and start another national war.
The entire north of Qianjiang River can be swallowed by my big swallow!
Ugh,
such a pity. "
The emperor was very upset because there was really no food left at home.
When his father was in power, he had already removed all the thorns in the country in order to fight the war, and the horse stepping on the door was the benchmark.
After he succeeded to the throne, he lived a frugal life, but Qian Chu was still restless;
The emperor wanted to slaughter the fat sheep, but my teeth were so good that there was no one left for him to operate on.
"Your Majesty, the flowery land of Qian Kingdom will definitely be the territory of my Dayan in the future. I am just asking Gan people to keep it for me, Dayan, for a few more years."
"I think so too. Now, I'm just waiting for the news that the man surnamed Zheng has returned safely. As long as he comes back safely and moves to the east of Shanxi, the Chu Kingdom will not be able to cause trouble;
After this experience, Ganren felt as if he had been cut. "
Wei Zhonghe immediately shrank in cooperation.
"Haha, after Qian Chu has settled down, I can let the people cultivate and recuperate for a few years;
However, Wei Zhonghe, do you think Nian Yao really made me a joke to make me happy, or did he really guess it? "
"Replying to Your Majesty, although Nian Yao was captured by Prince Pingxi, after all, he had fought against the two princes of Dayan. I think it's half and half."
"Ah."
The emperor nodded.
"Is Your Majesty really planning to use him?"
"Li Liangshen and I can continue to use it. He is still young, so why not?"
"Your Majesty, this is not what I mean. What I want to say is that ever since Nian Yao entered the palace, my servant has sent people to forcibly take medicine and break his veins every few days.
If His Majesty wants to use him, and really let him be the general manager, he is still a young warrior with a good physical foundation, and the slave is still..."
"Do you still need to ask? At this point, you have to learn from the man named Zheng."
"The slave understands."
"Ah."
"His Majesty."
Outside, someone is telling me.
Generally speaking, when someone asks for an audience, a small eunuch will report it, but some people have special status and can report it themselves.
"Come in."
The person who walked in was the little eunuch in red robe. He knelt down in front of the imperial court.
"What's the matter?"
"I'm telling you, your majesty, I observed the stars at night a few days ago and got the response from the cauldron. Finally, I confirmed one thing through the communication between the brave and the brave under the cauldron."
"This should be the errand of Qin Tianjian." The emperor said.
At this time, Duke Wei next to him said: "Your Majesty, in the early years when my grandpa was here, he supervised the Qintian Prison."
What Wei Zhonghe meant was that although the Grand Master had been gone for a long time, as the Grand Master's successor, this little red-robed eunuch had the qualifications to take charge of the Qin Tianjian's errands.
"Oh." The emperor nodded, reached for the teacup in front of him, and blew on it, "What's wrong?"
The little eunuch in red robe sighed slightly in his heart. The emperor in front of him was really very similar in temperament to the previous emperor;
They are all the same, disdainful of things involving heavenly secrets, ghosts and gods.
Sometimes, it's just a matter of coping.
But there was no way, he couldn't hide this.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Black Dragon Star Array will light up again."
"Black Dragon Star Array?" Ji Chengjue frowned slightly. As a Ji family member, he knew what this was.
At that time, the three princes opened the border, but with the collapse of Daxia, it became the three princes' establishment.
According to the tradition of the Xia Dynasty, the establishment of a country should "uphold the will of heaven and earth", which is the so-called emperor.
At the same time, when the country is established, the celestial phenomena will be brought into the country's urn;
To put it bluntly, it means picking out a string in the starry sky and declaring it to be your own star array.
The star array of the Yan Kingdom is in the shape of a dragon and is called the Black Dragon Star Array.
"Your Majesty, the Black Dragon Star Array has become dim after King Jingnan traveled westward and King Zhenbei died of illness. But just the night before yesterday, the star array suddenly brightened.
This is the symbol of holding the murderous weapon again, and it is the main symbol of killing. "
"Oh, I know."
The emperor's response was simple.
The little eunuch in red robe then said: "Your Majesty, please hold the murderous weapon again and kill the attacker. I think the only way for today's Dayan is..."
"What you want to say is, Prince Pingxi?"
"Slave..."
"You slave, what are you going to say next? Do you want to say that it is not good for me if the murder weapon is in the hands of a minister?"
"The slave dare not, the slave dare not!"
"No, you are so brave. I am surprised. Did Zheng Fan offend you at some point and make you want to give him eye drops so impatiently?
I haven't asked yet, why are you reminding me? "
"Your Majesty, this slave is just a duty officer and I dare not hide it. I am a slave out of loyalty to Your Majesty and have no selfish motives!
Furthermore, the servant has no grudges against Prince Ping Xi. In fact, the servant even treats Prince Ping Xi’s subordinates as close friends on the wine trail. "
"Ha ha."
The emperor laughed twice, but there was a kind of teasing in this laughter.
"I ask you, the last time the Black Dragon Star Array was bright, was the Great Yan River overturned?"
"Your Majesty...slave..."
"answer."
"Never."
"Okay, since King Jingnan, King Zhenbei and the late emperor did not act disobediently when they were there, why do you conclude that King Pingxi will be detrimental to me after lighting up the Black Dragon Star Array?
I feel that I am not as good as the late Emperor, and I have always been humble and self-reflective. However, there is no need for you, a slave, to point at my nose in front of me and say, I am not as far away as the late Emperor. Therefore, the situation that the late Emperor can suppress, I I can't hold down those who the late emperor can hold down, but I can't do what the late emperor can do! "
"boom!"
The tea cup was smashed to the ground by the emperor.
The little eunuch in red robe rested his forehead on the blue brick of the imperial study room, and Wei Zhonghe on one side immediately knelt down.
The eunuchs waiting at the gate of the imperial study immediately knelt down, and the maids and eunuchs in the imperial garden outside also knelt down.
When the emperor is angry, no one dares to stand.
"Your Majesty, calm down, slave... slave really..."
The emperor said seriously:
"Tomorrow at the court meeting, I want to see the astrological performance that Qintian Supervisor Zheng personally sent. The black dragon star formation is bright, which means that our military god of Great Yan will be re-established and our military fortune will not diminish.
This is God’s blessing for Dayan, God’s will is on Yan! "
Having said that,
The emperor's eyes fell coldly on the little eunuch in red robe.
The little eunuch in red robe immediately said:
"Slave...obey the order!"
……
Harem, Taoyuan.
When the new emperor first came to the throne, the empress lived in the main palace of the harem. Her location was actually just behind the imperial study room. After the emperor finished handling government affairs in the imperial study room, he came out and walked north. He walked straight past the two courtyard gates and reached the palace. The queen's bedroom.
But later, the queen moved to a remote palace to live. She cleared a piece of land and planted some vegetables. A side hall was built as a silkworm room, and there were spinning utensils in it.
There are some silkworms raised in the silkworm room, but the Queen will not do these things herself. The purpose of reserving these is to show that the Queen personally teaches Dayan women to work hard at home;
But the queen took care of the vegetable garden carefully.
As soon as the emperor came in, he saw the queen squatting there washing cucumbers.
The queen did not wear formal clothes, but dressed as a peasant woman;
In fact, the peasant woman's dress is quite beautiful. Her clothes are neither dirty nor torn, and she is not dirty but also very plump. When squatting, her figure looks very enchanting.
When the emperor saw it, he swallowed subconsciously.
The queen had given birth to two sons for herself, but the emperor's interest in the queen remained undiminished.
All the servants in the palace who should retire have also retired, and those who remain are our own people who are discerning.
The emperor stepped forward and hugged the queen.
The queen had actually heard the footsteps a long time ago. She looked back and brought a freshly washed cucumber to the emperor.
Ji Chengjue opened his mouth and took a bite. The home-grown cucumber was crisp and refreshing, and it tasted very different.
"Is it delicious, Your Majesty?"
"It's delicious, but you planted too much."
"It's hot, so it can be eaten cold with every meal, and it can also be used to pickle pickled cucumbers. I feel like I haven't planted enough."
The emperor was helpless. In fact, if the man named Zheng hadn't made a dirty joke about cucumbers with him, he wouldn't have thought much about it.
But unfortunately, after you have this idea in your mind, and then look at the large area of ​​cucumbers planted, you always feel that you have been too busy with state affairs recently and neglected someone?
"Has your Majesty had a meal?"
"I've used it. Do you have any ice drinks?"
"The imperial doctor said that your majesty has heavy state affairs and is very angry, so you should drink herbal tea."
"it is good."
The queen personally brought the herbal tea over, and the emperor drank the cup directly.
"Have you heard about what's going on outside?" the emperor asked.
"What's going on outside?" The queen shook her head, "I don't have any spies in front. We only have two people in our harem, Chen Concubine and my sister, so we don't need to arrange for more people to do anything."
The queen is telling the truth;
The two princes of Dayan were both born to her, and one of them was the eldest son and the prince.
For the rest of her life, all she had to do was do nothing.
One month later, I advised His Majesty to be frugal and asked the historian to record it, and then asked Wei Zhonghe to send someone to the cabinet.
After another month, I advised His Majesty to hold the draft, and asked the historian to record it, and then asked Wei Zhonghe to send someone to the cabinet;
In the meantime, if the emperor wanted to exalt someone, he would arrange for the empress to come forward to persuade him to be merciful, and the emperor would borrow the donkey from Poxia.
Therefore, although she has not been the queen for a short time, her virtuous reputation is praised by both the government and the public.
After dealing with the persona facing the foreign dynasty, the queen can stay in her own palace and play with herself.
"To the south, Zheng Fan invaded the capital of Qian Kingdom."
"Really?" Seeing that the emperor was not joking, the queen immediately knelt down and said, "I congratulate your majesty!"
"Get up, we two are doing this."
"No, I don't think it would be possible to show my inner excitement if I don't do this. This Zheng Fan is really good at fighting. Didn't he fight in Liangdi? Why did he end up in Shangjing?"
"He's just messing around like this, but he has the ability to pull it off. However, now that the news has just come back, we don't know when the person named Zheng will be fully recovered."
"Your Majesty, didn't you break the plan to go to Beijing?"
"It's a breakthrough. It's of great significance. However, we, Dayan, no longer have the ability to send troops to expand the results. The troops and horses entangled with the Qianchu coalition forces at Nanmen Pass have become somewhat unsustainable in terms of logistics."
Just providing food to the enemy is not a long-term solution. The army still has to be transferred and adjusted according to the needs of the battlefield. It is not like the wandering bandits. After eating here, they will go to a new place to continue eating, so there is still a food supply at Nanmen Pass. The army's task of transporting grain, grass and military supplies is now under increasing pressure.
In Nanwang City, His Highness and Li Liangshen's army only created some pressure with the three armies of the Qian Kingdom by shouting and going in and out. There was no serious army sent out to fight a big battle, and the logistics could not keep up. The army cannot get out.
"However, Zheng Fan has completely suppressed Jiang Ganren's arrogance for me. I can finally free my hands to gather some energy for Dayan."
"Conquering Shangjing is a feat that even the first marquis of Zhenbei could not accomplish. How is Your Majesty going to reward him?"
"How to reward?
He is already a prince, how else can he be rewarded?
My son has been sent to him, so I can’t send my wife this time, right?
Oh, yes, you can send your daughter-in-law there. The man named Zheng has such a good reputation. I wonder if he will be really happy, haha. "
The queen opened her mouth and bit the emperor's shoulder.
"Hey... it hurts..."
The queen bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty is willing to give it away, so I'll go and see who feels sorry for you."
"Ha ha."
The eunuchs and maids nearby were all indifferent, like sculptures.
The emperor and the empress were acquainted among the people and had a deep relationship. Between husband and wife, some stimulating private words were nothing at all. They were just to add a bit of fun.
After having fun for a while,
Queen He said tangledly;
"Looking at it this way, it seems there is nothing to reward him?"
Wei Zhonghe, who was standing next to him, heard the Queen's words, and his spine began to tremble, and his heart felt like a thousand horses galloping.
What does the Queen mean by this?
Isn't it Prince Pingxi who has run out of rewards?
Wei Zhonghe knew that the Empress did not mean this. The Empress was very smart and very good at dealing with people, but he wanted a woman who came from a butcher's family to suddenly understand what was going on in the court after being a queen for such a short period of time. Storms and taboos are also impossible.
It’s just that the speaker has no intention, but the listener?
Eunuch Wei glanced at the emperor's face from the corner of his eye, and found that the emperor's expression was as usual, and he felt relieved.
"The prime ministers and I will discuss matters tonight, so I won't come back to sleep tonight."
"Well, I understand."
The emperor and the queen were intimate for a while, then he stood up, took two washed cucumbers, gnawed them and walked out.
Eunuch Wei followed behind, following suit.
The discussion in the imperial study room in the evening lasted for too long. Basically, the emperor said it, and the ministers and assistants listened and then integrated the procedures for tomorrow's court meeting.
After finishing, all the prime ministers and assistants resigned.
The emperor, served by Eunuch Wei, lay down in the side hall where he was staying.
This was once his father's favorite resting place;
Ji Chengjue also stayed here on the first night after he succeeded to the throne.
The emperor rested, and Eunuch Wei stood at the door, leaning his back against a pillar and half-squinting.
In the hall, Ji Chengjue was lying with his eyes open;
Lie down for a while,
He sat up again;
"Are you afraid?"
A familiar voice came.
Ji Chengjue raised his head and saw his "father" standing in front of him.
His father bent down and put his face very close to his. On the corner of his mouth was the kind of smile that his father was accustomed to, as if he was mocking everything in front of him.
"Father, weren't you afraid at the beginning?"
"Do you think I'm scared?"
"It should be, there will be a little bit, right?"
"I am the emperor."
"Me too."
"No, you are not, you are not as good as me."
"Am I not as good as you?"
"I told you, Emperor, that you should eradicate your emotions and desires. Have you done it?"
"Father, do you mean to let me sever my relationship with Zheng Fan?"
"Look, look, look, hehehe..."
"Father, why are you laughing? What's so funny?"
"You told me at the beginning that you would not be a ruthless emperor like me. Now it sounds really funny."
"Father..."
“Being ruthless may not be truly ruthless, and being sentimental may not necessarily mean being truly ruthless, hahaha.
As an emperor who has cut off all emotions and desires, I have no fear at all.
And you
This self-proclaimed emperor will not learn from me in this regard,
But here he said to me,
you,
Harmful,
Afraid,
Now! ”
