Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 958 Legendary Life 24.0

King Tong never thought about his sweetheart confessing to himself.

It's not how humble he thinks of himself or how low he puts his position, it's because in his heart, this will never happen.

As the emperor of a country, the responsibilities that Emperor Chongde had to bear and the heavy burdens on his shoulders were simply unimaginable without the people around him.Since he started to get in touch with the government, he has very little time to rest every day. Most of the time in a day is spent in meetings with courtiers and reviewing memorials.King Tong saw all these, distressed and helpless.

Therefore, even if the two of them knew each other's thoughts, even if Miss Zhen spared no effort to encourage them to clarify and face up to their feelings, they did not pierce the window paper.

Although they haven't talked about this topic, their thoughts coincide with each other. It doesn't really matter whether this matter is broken or not. The important thing is that this person can stay by my side for a long time.

"Emperor Chongde has awakened." Song Qiyun glanced at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha again, "After King Tong was attacked, he understood that the world is impermanent, and no one can tell which will come first, tomorrow or the accident. Yes. If he hasn't expressed his heart to his sweetheart, and his sweetheart leaves him forever because of an accident, then he will regret it for the rest of his life."

"That's right." Jin Miaomiao also glanced at the two guys who were pretending to be stupid, "In order not to make yourself or the other party regret, it is wise to express your true thoughts decisively. .”

She turned her head and exchanged a look with Song Qiyun. As friends and family members, they have done their best in this regard. Whether these two people will listen to persuasion and face up to their relationship is up to them. something happened.

"Where is King Tong?" Jin Miaomiao raised an eyebrow at Song Qiyun, "What does he think?"

"What else can I think? Just follow the trend and agree. However, he discussed it with Emperor Chongde. In private, the two of them can get bored, but they still have to keep a certain distance in front of outsiders, especially courtiers. "Song Qiyun shrugged, "Miss Zhen gave them two advice. If you don't want those nosy ministers to see their real relationship, you must not only keep a certain distance, but also put on a show in front of them. , a play that those ministers are most happy to see."

"The emperor and the ministers are at odds." Shen Cha's doze was completely awakened, "If the powerful emperor and the powerful prince are at odds, then the courtiers will have an excuse to fight against each other, and they will have a reason to attack each other , can also find their so-called position in the court, and even..." She paused, a sneer flashed across her face, "Their dirty things in private have found a good cover."

"It's disgusting." Jin Miaomiao's entire face was filled with disgust, "I remember that Emperor Chongde purged the court a few years after he ascended the throne, was it useless?"

"No." Song Qiyun shook his head, "Although the disposal of a batch can serve as a warning to others, but the effect is very short-lived. The new batch will still have the same virtue after a short time. Before As I said, the best way for him is to centralize power. Although he is tired, he can keep his own country, but unfortunately, due to various reasons, he missed the best time."

"On the second month after Emperor Chongde and King Tong exchanged their hearts, there was an urgent report from the border. Foreigners invaded the border. Although the frontier army fought hard, they still failed to hold it. The five most critical cities fell into the The hands of foreigners. Emperor Chongde and King Tong temporarily abandoned the relationship between their sons and daughters, and also abandoned the fights in the court, and began to formulate ways to deal with the enemy. They were very active, but unfortunately, the courtiers did not cooperate. "

"There are a lot of hosts, isn't it?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, Jin Miaomiao sneered, "It's expected! When fighting internally, everyone seems to have been beaten to death. When it is necessary to speak out, It’s like a short-tailed quail, with its head shrunk and silent.” She thought for a while, “It’s fine for civil servants to do this, but military generals can’t do the same? Emperor Chongde, besides King Tong, has another Two military generals with outstanding military exploits, they will not ask for peace, right?"

"Those generals with good strength are already on errands, and they can't spare their hands at all." Shen Cha sighed softly, "In the end, there was really no other way. King Tong asked for a battle and personally led the troops to the border. Chongde Although the emperor is reluctant, there is nothing he can do, he can't just watch the foreign tribes invade, and the people at the border pass live under the rough iron horses of the foreign tribes."

"King Tong made a statement, and those short-tailed quails raised their heads again. This time, they didn't criticize King Tong, but praised him desperately. Those compliments were thrown at King Tong as if they didn't want money. King Tong said , In the few days before the expedition, he was a little dazed, he thought that he had gone to the wrong place, or that the inner core of these courtiers had been replaced."

"Isn't it? King Tong led troops to meet the enemy and stay away from Xijing. For these quails, it is the best thing. He is not in the capital. They can criticize them as much as they want, criticize them, and slander them as much as they want. Anyway, His Majesty is at odds with him. If he loses a battle or makes any mistakes, it will give them an excuse to attack him. King Tong knows very well that all the ministers in the dynasty are thinking that he will be a thousand times away if he goes. Don't come back, it's best to die on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather."

"These people are too much, too vicious!" Jin Miaomiao slapped the table in front of him fiercely, "What does Emperor Chongde think?"

"They both acted as if they didn't know anything, and concentrated on making preparations before the expedition. On the night before the army set off, neither of them slept, and they cuddled together until dawn." Shen Cha looked at Jin Miaomiao, " In fact, King Tong was already prepared not to come back. After all, that time, when the foreign race came aggressively, he did not have the full confidence to drive these bastards out of his homeland. So, that night, he babbled He talked a lot, told Emperor Chongde what was in his heart, and explained what happened behind him."

"How did Emperor Chongde react?"

"The two of them are very sensible, and they both prepared for the worst. The army marched out the next day, and Emperor Chongde kept his promise to King Tong. He did not go to the city gate to see him off, but stood in the former East Palace , praying and blessing for her sweetheart from a distance, and the empress, who is indifferent to everything, entered the Buddhist hall from the day King Tong left Xijing, and for the next three months, she did not Take a step away from the Buddhist hall."

"This Ms. Zhen is a wonderful person. On the surface she is cold and aloof, but in fact she is more emotional than most people." Jin Miaomiao sighed, "So, the foreigners were repelled in three months?"

"Yes, although it didn't last long, the fight was extremely fierce." Shen Cha nodded, "However, after this battle, King Tong became famous and got the name of Ghost Sorrow. Later, when foreigners heard that Ghost Sorrow came , and ran away in a hurry.”

"A ghost? Why?"

"Exchanging your life for your life, isn't it a ghost's sorrow!"
