retaliate

Enthronement is very cumbersome.

It stands to reason that such things should be handled by those old pedants.They would rummage through the collection of books, screen out various enthronement ceremonies, and then design a magnificent and shocking ceremony.

But Shi Zhongtang handed over the matter to Chunyu.

Not He Zun.

He Zun looked at Shi Zhongtang who was holding the head in his hand, and the sadness in his eyes became more and more intense.

Behind him, a counselor who used to be jealous of him whispered, "Is this crazy?"

He Zun shook his head, "No."

……

The scouts of the Northern Border Army had already appeared on the outskirts of Qinghe County.

Chunyu is busy.

"Here, here it is done!"

"The curtains must be new. There are stains here, and they need to be cleaned."

Shi Zhongtang was taking a bath.

He will fast before taking the throne to show his cleanliness.

This was the rule before the tribal khan came to power.

"The emperor of the Central Plains still eats and drinks."

Shi Zhongtang said contemptuously: "They despise our vulgarity and savagery, and despise us for wearing rough clothes... Look, the gorgeous clothes are so beautiful, but under the robes, there is a dirty body. "

He Zun agrees with this.

"My lord, the Northern Frontier Army scouts are approaching Qinghe."

He Zun said.

"Just block it."

Shi Zhongtang said lightly.

"Yes."

It was night, and for the first time in the distance, the scouts of the Northern Xinjiang Army saw the flames at the top of Qinghe City.

"Your Highness, the scouts saw Qinghe."

The closer he got to Qinghe, the calmer King Qin appeared.

"This is Li Ting sweeping acupuncture points, happy!" said the old thief.

The ease of this attack is unbelievable.

Later, King Qin simply ordered his generals to lead an army to attack.

Even the old thief took down two cities.

"Have you captured the surrounding area of ​​Qinghe?"

King Qin asked.

Inside the big tent, a candle was burning on the candlestick, illuminating all the officials beaming with joy.

"We've taken them all. Now we're preparing to encircle Qinghe."

Pei Jian said.

"Is there any news about Qinghe?" King Qin asked.

He Lianyan said: "The mansion next to the Jiedushi's mansion has been being repaired. Giant logs are being sent in continuously, and craftsmen are gathered. I don't know what they are doing."

"Could it be Xiuwangfu?" He Lianrong said.

"Why can't it be a palace?" Han Ji said sarcastically, "After all, who can refuse the temptation of being an emperor?"

"But the army is overwhelmed, isn't this emperor a joke?" Jiang Cunzhong said.

Li Xuan said: "Look, Shi Ni probably wants to ascend the throne."

Die if you get addicted!
"Go and rest. Tomorrow, the army will drive directly to Qinghe!"

"Yes!"

……

In Qinghe City, next door to Jiedushi's Mansion, several palaces have been completed at this moment, and the smell of paint is still a bit pungent.

The torch shone on the construction site, and the corners of Chun Yu's mouth were full of fire bubbles, and he kept checking everywhere.

There is no way, the construction period is tight and the task is heavy. According to Shi Zhongtang's current state, if something goes wrong, his childhood playmate will also die.

In the middle of the night, all inspections were completed.

"It's all good."

Those craftsmen are like amnesty.

Chun Yu waved his hand, "Go!"

The artisans leave.

Chun Yu sat alone in front of the hall, resting his chin on his hands.

The moonlight is quite good, and people are most likely to calm down at this time.

He heard footsteps.

But didn't look back.

A man came and sat beside him.

"That year, the king and you also sat like this."

"Hmm! Your woman was robbed and you wanted to kill the leader. I can't persuade you, so I'll go with you."

"This king really wanted to kill him that night."

"But in the end you left."

"The hatred of taking a wife is irreconcilable. At that time, the king was so angry that he wanted to fight with him even if the gods were in front of him. Even if it was death, he would have to vent his anger."

Shi Zhongtang narrowed his eyes and looked at the moonlight, "The moment I approached the leader's tent, this king heard the movement, suddenly woke up, and figured it out."

"What did you hear?"

"This king heard the sound of the leader and that woman tossing."

That woman is his childhood sweetheart, privately appointed lover for life.But in the end he fell in love with power, and on the morning of the day he proposed marriage, he became the leader's woman.

"The king heard that woman's charming praise for the leader. Chunyu, at that moment the king thought of those women in the clan. Every woman has a man who loves her deeply. In the eyes of those men, they are their own. Everything. Just like this king."

The corners of Shi Zhongtang's mouth twitched slightly, "But people are like this. If it's not your own pain, you won't empathize with it. You must have felt that the king was making a fuss out of a molehill that day, right?"

"Yes, I don't think it's worth it for a woman!"

"That's right! At that moment, this king figured it out. That woman is no different from thousands of women in the world, they are all the same. What about another woman? Will this king suffer from a more beautiful woman than her?"

Shi Zhongtang laughed more and more happily, "At that moment, I completely figured it out. It's not that I don't want to part with her, it's just that I don't want to be accompanied by someone every day, and I miss someone every day."

"At that moment, this king felt that he had discarded a dead tree, but in front of him was a jungle."

"At that moment, I swore that there will be countless women in this life."

"And to do this, this king must become a master."

Shi Zhongtang pointed to his chest, "Before this, this king was just an ignorant herdsman. After this, this king has a goal."

"So, was that woman brought everything?" Chun Yu looked at him sadly, "You said that woman didn't affect you, but in the end it was she who led you to where you are today."

"Don't you understand?" Shi Zhongtang said with a smile: "She just aroused the ambition in my heart."

"Chunyu, look!" Shi Zhongtang pointed outside, "Our tribe was so big before, but this king once owned half of the Tang Dynasty. No, more than half. This king once lived in the palace and enjoyed countless The humble service of the servants. Chun Yu, why is a man alive? Isn't it just for that moment?"

"But for that moment, you have to pay the price of death."

"Some people have lived for a hundred years, but they don't know what to do. Some people have lived for a hundred years, but they are as humble as an ant. But this past year was the happiest time in my life. My king, I don't regret it!"

"So, are you still going to be enthroned?"

"Correct."

"Then why didn't you rest earlier?"

"Because, this king is coming to see off his partner."

Chun Yu's body was trembling, "You know everything?"

Shi Zhongtang smiled and said, "You have three confidantes by your side."

"They betrayed me!"

"No, it's your wife who betrayed you!"

"impossible!"

Chun Yu's face turned pale, "She has been married to me for many years and has always been in love."

"But you have more and more women. Chun Yu, what I said earlier is to tell you that a woman's heart is hard to figure out. The loving woman in your eyes is already burning with jealousy."

"I am loyal to you."

"In the past, that's right. In the eyes of this king, Chun Yu was the most trustworthy person."

"After entering Chang'an, I followed you to enjoy the most intoxicating wealth in the world. I swear that I will be satisfied in this life. But in the battle of Daozhou, we lost."

"Yes! Daozhou is defeated, and the wealth is gone."

"I was never afraid of death before, but gradually, for some reason, I became more and more afraid of death."

"That's because you have enjoyed the wealth. Once people enjoy the wealth, they will never forget it. Do you understand? Why do Fangwai people stay away from the world of mortals?"

"Isn't it to stay away from the filth of the world of mortals?"

"No, I want to stay away from the temptation of the world of mortals. And wealth is the most difficult thing to give up. Once you enjoy it, you will never forget it. Therefore, you are afraid of death. Remember those powerful people in Guanzhong?"

"Remember!"

"At the beginning, they were the ones who scolded me the most, but when I entered Chang'an, who dared to speak up? Instead, it was the common people who dared to yell and scold me a few times."

Shi Zhongtang looked at the night, "It's almost time."

"What are you going to do with me?"

Chunyu stood up slowly.

Shi Zhongtang was still sitting, with his hands on his knees, "You just wanted to escape, but this king made me forgive you and let you leave freely, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of all those years of friendship. But at the last moment, you He hesitated, and wanted to betray this king. Chun Yu, this king has treated you with all kindness and righteousness."

"I just think……"

"You just want to seek wealth from the King of Qin. You think that telling the King of Qin where the king's sons are hiding will not only save their lives, but also make them rich, but you don't know what the superior is thinking."

Shi Zhongtang sighed: "King Qin said that no rebels will stay. Do you understand? The words of the superiors are nails and cannot be shaken!"

"That is to say, am I crazy?"

"Yes, you are crazy! You are crazy for wealth."

"But what about you?"

Chun Yu suddenly laughed, "What about you? You are willing to guard Qinghe in order to ascend the throne. Are you not crazy? Shi Ming!"

"Shi Ming!" Shi Zhongtang was startled, "It's been a long time since the name of my king has been mentioned."

Chun Yu suddenly bent his knees, "Shi Ming, please forgive me! I swear, I will never betray you again!"

"You shouldn't kneel!"

Shi Zhongtang shook his head, "Wealth has corroded your bones."

Several guards came out of the darkness.

One person draws a knife.

"This king will personally send him away!"

Shi Zhongtang reached out to take the horizontal knife.

Chunyu laughed loudly: "Hahahaha..."

Knife light flashed.

Shi Zhongtang walked into the hall slowly, and the headless corpse outside fell down.

He walked to the throne, turned around and sat down.

Ask: "I, can you be mighty?"

……

Day two.

He Zun got up early, nothing to do today, after breakfast, he was reading in the study, and after some time, he heard exclamations outside.

"The northern army is here."

When He Zun walked out of the house, he saw people running in panic on the street.

A group of sergeants hurried past, He Zun stopped them.

"Where is the Northern Border Army?"

A sergeant said, "Mr. He, the rangers from the Northern Border Army are here."

Wang Lao Er is just outside the city.

"It's not big!"

He thought that Qinghe would be a mighty city, but it was not as good as Jianzhou City.

This time the old thief followed him to attack, and heard the words said: "Southern Xinjiang is facing the Southern Zhou Dynasty. The Southern Zhou Dynasty is weak, so how dare it attack Datang, so Qinghe City has not been expanded."

"Didn't you fight last time? What about the Northern Expedition?"

"That's why the Nanzhou people are crazy."

"Yaowu!" Wang Laoer said.

Teams of cavalry began to rush towards the city.

Detours out of range of crossbow bolts.

Someone went to report to Shi Zhongtang.

"Go and see."

Shi Zhongtang looked energetic today.

He Zun frowned, and asked a civil servant he had a good relationship with, "Where's Chun Yu?"

Chun Yu and Shi Zhongtang were like shadows, but they were gone today.

The civil servant shook his head, "I don't know."

Everyone followed Shi Zhongtang to the top of the city, and they saw the northern border army rangers showing off their martial arts back and forth.

"Your Majesty, do you want to attack?" someone asked.

He Zun took a look at that man, he was a well-known idiot in the army.

Shi Zhongtang shook his head.

He's even smiling.

"Where is King Qin?" he asked.

Puff puff!
Puff puff!
The sound of neat footsteps came from the end of the sky.

When everyone looked up, they saw smoke billowing in the distance.

Rows of pawns appeared neatly.

Then cavalry appeared on both sides.

Countless cavalry galloped.

But the most shocking thing is the pawns.

Puff puff!
The sound of neat footsteps resounded throughout the world, standing on the top of the wall, He Zun felt a little shaken.

He looked at the crowd.

Face as white as paper!

Except for Shi Zhongtang.

The Shang king still had a ruddy complexion.

Red and purple!

"King Qin!"

Someone pointed at the banner and shouted.

Under the banner, King Qin calmly reined in his horse and looked at the city from afar.

City head.

Shi Zhongtang cupped his hands at King Qin under the banner, "Come here?"

So far away, the King of Qin naturally couldn't hear it.

But he nodded and said:
"Gulai, I'll send you on your way!"
