Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 71 No one is a boy!

Meng Chang's chest rose and fell, and Luo Youdu's words deeply hurt the emperor's weak self-esteem.

Meng Chang is still very ambitious, at least in the early stage of his accession to the throne, his words and deeds are full of the demeanor of a wise monarch.

Especially the 24-sentence, 96-character "Official Proverbs" written by his own hand, every word and sentence, can be described as inspiring.

Among them, there are golden sentences such as "The people are easy to abuse, but the heavens are hard to bully", "Your salary is rich, the people anoint the people", "As a parent, you are not kind", etc., without any kindness and compassion, they cannot be written.

It's just that with the peace in the middle of Shu, Meng Chang has no ambition to compete for the world. He just wants to guard his one-acre three-point land and make Shu land a paradise on earth.

In fact he succeeded too.

When the Central Plains was in turmoil, it was not an exaggeration to call Jiangnan and Xishu a paradise on earth.

But with the accumulation of wealth, Meng Chang inevitably lived a life of extravagance.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

If the huge Shu Kingdom only supports Meng Chang alone, there will be no problem.

But there is a kind of behavior called up and down effect.

Meng Chang began to enjoy himself, and his courtiers followed suit.

Meng Chang is supported by the state treasury, what should the courtiers do if they have no money?Just go to be greedy, just go to collect people's fat and people's anointing.

Meng Chang is also very ordinary in employing people. He likes poetry and prose, and most of the talents he employs are those who recite poems, compose Fu and boast.

Everyone is boasting about the hype, and they are all better than Zhuge Liang, so that there is only one all-rounder in China for hundreds of years, and there are several in the court of Shu Kingdom.

For example, Zhao Jizha, who had already scared Jiang Weiwumou back to Chengdu, and Wang Zhaoyuan, who later announced that he would raise [-] troops and take the Central Plains with ease, but whose parents did not know Wang Quanbin and Cao Bin, all felt that they had Zhuge talent.

I don't know if Zhuge Liang will be so angry that he will lie to himself when he learns that everyone who compares himself to him has this kind of virtue.

The monarch is obsessed with pleasure, and the courtiers are more pompous, and the paradise on earth in Shu has gradually changed, with greed and ink rampant, and moths everywhere.

However, Meng Chang himself is still obsessed with the paradise he created, thinking that the land under his jurisdiction is still a paradise. He may not be a great unified emperor like Qin Huang, Han Wu, but he can also be compared with Wen Jing, a ruler of the world. .

Now let an enemy minister be so contemptuous and say that he is an idler?Not worthy to be equal to Guo Rong.

This made Meng Chang unbearable.

Fan Yuxi gnashed his teeth and said, "It's not just that, on the way back, I saw Zhou's soldiers gathered in the town, and they have the intention of attacking Xingyuan Mansion."

Meng Chang's expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "What should I do?"

The territory of the Kingdom of Shu is vast, but most of them are steep mountains. The only real fertile places are the Chengdu Plain, the land of abundance, and the Hanzhong Plain, where Xingyuan Mansion is located.

If the Xingyuan Mansion is lost, the Kingdom of Shu will lose a large amount of financial revenue.

What's more, there has been a saying since ancient times that you have to look forward to Shu.

This takes the Hanzhong Plain, so there is no reason not to covet the land of Shu.

Fan Yuxuan suggested: "At present, the only way to increase troops at Yangping Pass is the best strategy. The ministers see that Zhou's soldiers are brave and brave, and they cannot be compared with our soldiers. Only by taking advantage of the dangers of the pass and city walls can we fight against them."

Meng Chang hurriedly said: "Aiqing is right, I will issue an order to send troops to Yangping Pass."

Seeing obvious dredging marks on Fan Yuxi's forehead, scars on his face, and a flattened nose, he was moved and said, "I hate Zhou Chen for being rude and rude. Ai Qing has been wronged. You go down and treat her wounds. I don't care." I will forget Aiqing's utter loyalty."

That's what Fan Yuxi wanted, and he thanked and left moved.

Meng Chang walked left and right angrily, wanting to send troops to save face, but thinking that even Li Tinggui was defeated so miserably, how could anyone in the court be an opponent?
What's more, it is now a game of offensive and defensive swaps.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Huarui and Li Zhaorong are asking for an audience outside the palace together."

Meng Chang took several deep breaths, suppressed his anger and said, "Let them in quickly."

The woman in white and the charming woman entered the palace together.

The beautiful woman in white is none other than Mrs. Huarui, with icy muscles and bones, as delicate and beautiful as a stamen.

The charming woman is Li Yanniang, who has a slender waist and a hundred thousand dollars.

"The two ladies are not playing in the back hall, what are you doing here in the front hall?"

Mrs. Huarui paid homage: "Your Majesty eats vegetarian food on the first day of every month, and my concubine personally made some sweet potato medicine and sent it to His Majesty."

Meng Chang dissipated all his worries and worries in an instant, and said softly, "Madam has a heart. If it wasn't for state affairs hiding, I wish I could spend all day with Madam in the mountains and rivers."

Mrs. Huarui said: "I don't understand state affairs, but I know that the millions of people living in Sichuan are happy, and I belong to the king, so I should take state affairs as the most important thing. I heard that the backyard has reduced capital, and the ministers and concubines usually get more rewards, and they are all stored in the back hall. .I would like to dedicate it to His Majesty for national use."

Meng Chang was annoyed from the bottom of his heart, and said angrily, "There is no reason to take back what was rewarded to you..."

Just when the military report came, Zhou Bing was approaching Baishui Pass.

Meng Chang was even more furious, suppressed his anger, and said softly: "You two ladies, go down first, I will deal with state affairs first."

Mrs. Huarui pays her respects.

Li Yanniang didn't dare to say a word, bowed and walked away quickly.

When the two walked to the backyard, Li Yanniang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister is so confused, what the official family needs most at this time is comfort, why are you adding fuel to the flames? You really angered the official family, so what should I do?"

Mrs. Huarui stopped, looked at Li Yanniang, and said in the same tone, "Sister, have you ever thought about what will happen to you and me if the enemy breaks through Chengdu?"

Li Yanniang's face was pale, she looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "How dare you think about it? Don't you?"

Mrs. Huarui laughed at herself and thought, "Sooner or later!"

Ever since she first entered the palace, she inadvertently said that she likes peony flowers and red mast flowers.

It's just that in those days, peonies were blooming all over Chengdu, and the fragrance of jasmine flowers was flying for hundreds of miles.

All kinds of peonies and red mast flowers bloom forty miles along the city, as if paved with brocade.

Therefore, Chengdu also won the reputation of Hibiscus City.

Looking at Meng Chang offering treasures, he said to her: "The peonies in Luoyang are the best in the world, and the peonies in Chengdu will be the best in Luoyang in the future."

From that moment on, Mrs. Huarui didn't dare to say that she liked her anymore, and even faintly sensed the future.

All day long, I see Meng Chang focusing on the mountains and rivers, reciting poems and composing Fu with Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty, and discussing the world freely.

Mrs. Huarui only felt sad and ridiculous in her heart.

Just these things, compared to Xie An and Zhuge?
Mrs. Huarui even wondered if they were men.

But how?
I am just the most insignificant woman in the troubled times. With the grace bestowed by the gods, can I still set things right and help the generals of the Great Xia?
All he can do is treat her the same way Meng Chang treats her.

Then she waited for the Kingdom of Shu to perish, and finally gave herself the title of Demon Concubine.

And the peonies all over the city are the best proof.

Who would have thought that she was the only one who was truly sober in this temple of the Shu kingdom?
As in her "Poetry on the Fall of the Country":
The flag was raised on the King's City, did the concubine learn about it in the deep palace?
14 people were disarmed, and none of them were men!

　Brothers and sisters, work hard!Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is too unpopular, which made Yu feel uneasy when writing it.But how should I put it, as I said in the preface, I couldn’t suppress my impulse, and I wrote it as soon as I went all out.Unpopular topics are not easy to get results, so I didn't pay much attention to the new book list, but I got a reminder from a book friend today, and rushed to the first place.Although the new book period is almost over, but I sat on it anyway, I can only say that the brothers and sisters are so awesome, thank you for your support!
