The devil is coming

Chapter 819 Pretty
"Like peeling oranges?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xie Yuan picked up another orange and said:
"Your Majesty, there are many ways to peel an orange. Pinch it in the middle with your fingernails, then slowly peel it around along the opening, and finally, slowly pull out some of the remaining white whiskers.
You can also dig it out from the side and peel it along, one piece at a time. In the end, the front and back parts are connected together, and your fingertips will be stained with more green juice.
You can also peel a little bit and eat a little bit. After eating half of it, the remaining half is still wrapped in orange peel. The next time you want to eat it, it will still feel fresh..."
"A few days ago, during the alliance meeting in Yunchi, I ate crabs with an official from the Qian Kingdom. The official gave me a set of utensils, including a hook, shovel, and hammer. They are also exquisite. You should like them, so I gave them to you. .”
"Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty, but I only eat crab sauce at home on weekdays."
"Why haven't I seen you eat these days?"
"When I reply to His Majesty, I feel so strong that I'm afraid of bumping into His Majesty."
"How could I care about this?"
"Your Majesty is right, but a king is a king and a minister is a minister."
"It's over."
"I am frightened."
"A new royal garden will be built outside Yingdu. I will order people to plant many orange trees to prepare it for you."
"Thank you Lord Ron."
"Third of the four pillars of the country have been eliminated. The country is at the time of employing people. The Xie family..."
"The Xie family will definitely be in a state of disgrace. They will serve the country, your majesty, and the great Chu, and relieve their worries!"
Emperor Chu nodded and waved casually, and the waiter next to him replaced the sandalwood.
"Have you gained anything from staying with me these days?"
"To answer your Majesty's question, I feel that if I continue to accompany His Majesty back to Yingdu, His Majesty's reputation may become worse."
"Ha ha ha ha ha..."
Emperor Chu laughed and said,
Subsequently,
open the way;
"This is Dachu, not Jin. Besides, temporary rumors don't matter. If someone else has his mouth, even I can't stop the world from talking.
After you have made achievements and established meritorious service for Da Chu, naturally no one will comment or daydream about it anymore. "
"For the sake of your Majesty's reputation, I will do my best."
"Tell me about it. When your father went to Weihe to take up his post, he told me that you had a strategy to submit. I deliberately didn't ask you these days and wanted you to think about it carefully.
now,
Do you think it can be submitted? "
"can."
"Are you so confident?"
"Your Majesty, do you know what I, the great Chu, lack most now?"
Before the Emperor of Chu could answer,
Xie Yuan replied first:
"It's confidence."
Xie Yu'an stood up, the young man's handsomeness clearly revealed.
"I ask your Majesty to forgive me for my sin!"
"I never like to be punished for my words, so just say it, say it happily."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xie Yuan placed the orange in his hand on the table.
open the way;
“Qi practitioners like to observe the wind and clouds to identify qi, believing that the word qi contains the most fundamental principles in the world;
Jianghu people like to show off and compete for momentum. As the saying goes, if you lose, you don't lose.
But I believe that national affairs are also national power.
The power of a country, whether it is prosperous or declining, is like the roaring waves of the East China Sea.
More than a hundred years ago, the Qian Kingdom was newly established. Qian Taizu unified the fertile land of ancient Xia. He had strong soldiers and horses under his command. The momentum of founding the country should be upward. The elite soldiers and generals who founded the country were also formidable.
However, Emperor Taizong of Qian State's Northern Expedition was ruined by Yan. Since then, the power of Qian State has been cut in half and has been running rampant to this day. "
"The words are a bit far away." Emperor Chu reminded.
As an emperor, his time is precious, and he doesn't like the people he talks to constantly quoting classics. If he listens too much, he will easily get bored.
"Your Majesty, what I want to say is that before the First Battle of Wangjiang, the first emperor of the Yan Kingdom obviously wanted to push his eldest prince to the throne and suppress the lineage of the King of Jingnan. However, the people of Yan failed in the First Battle of Wangjiang. After the defeat, the first emperor of Yan State issued three imperial edicts and killed two eunuchs who issued the edicts. Finally, he was able to invite King Jingnan to come out and lead the army again.
Because the Yan people understand that if they want to compete in this world of great competition, they must have the potential for great competition;
Over the years, the Yan people have fought in the north and south, and their national power has been empty, but they have always held on and survived.
What the Yan people are afraid of is not that they will be defeated in the war. They will come again immediately after the defeat. What they are afraid of is that the momentum of the Yan country will be interrupted and will not come back.
In my opinion, the death of Qu Zhuguo in Yupan City was nothing, and he could just fight back. However, in the subsequent national war between Chu and Yan, General Nian used the strategy of cowardly killing Yan. Jun, this seems to be a mature method, but in fact, it dissipates all the remaining breath of my great Chu.
Ping Xihou of the Yan Kingdom once claimed that his army of cavalry was invincible;
In fact, it was us who pushed them to the top. It was us who told ourselves over and over again that we could not defeat the Yan people.
Therefore,
This time, Ping Xihou led his army out of Shanggu County and headed west. It was like entering an uninhabited land. If there were garrison troops along the way who dared to take the initiative to block it for a moment, so that the military information could be conveyed, the Dugu family's army would not be beaten at the foot of Fan City. Caught off guard.
It can only be said that General Nian took the initiative to bow his head in front of the Yan people, and his final end was just... sowing causes and reaping consequences. "
"Strategy."
"For the current plan, we should take the initiative to attack and seek a victory in one place as much as possible to restore the people's hearts, the morale of the military, and the national power."
"That's what Nian Yao did."
"General Nian is taking risks and playing with fire..."
Emperor Chu took a deep look at Xie Yuan and said, "How to do it?"
"Persimmons need to be picked soft. Since Zhennan Pass is guarded by the Pingxihou Mansion, let's eat it somewhere else, such as... Nanmen Pass.
In the past, when Yan was strong, his army in Zhenbei was strong and his army in Jingnan was strong;
Today, the strength of the Yan State is the strength of the Pingxi Houfu;
But how could the Yan people be elites throughout the country?
In the first battle of Wangjiang, I, Da Chuerlang, was also able to drive the Yan army into Wangjiang to feed the fish! "
"I'm tired, please leave first."
"My minister retire."
After Xie Yuan went down, Xiong Tingshan walked out from behind.
"Fifth brother, what do you think?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, I think this Xie family's thousand-mile horse is nothing more than that.
Listening to the whole article, they are all general remarks, which seem to make sense, but in fact, they are floating in the sky, much like the scribes that are abundant in Qian Kingdom.
The most uncomfortable thing for my brother is that Nian Yao's slave was caught and castrated in public by Zheng. It was indeed a great humiliation for our country of Chu, but the humiliation did not belong to Nian Yao;
He wanted to cater to his superiors and throw dirty water on Nian Yao, that slave.
This is not a gentleman's behavior. "
Emperor Chu nodded,
Holding his chin with both hands,
Looking at his fifth brother,
road;
"Fifth brother, do you know what I am thinking about now?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know."
"I'm wondering if this kid is hiding his clumsiness in front of me on purpose."
"Hidden clumsy?"
"The Xie family is the only one left in the four pillar countries. The Xie family is afraid..."
"The Xie family is worried..."
Emperor Chu shook his head and said: "The Xie family should not be worried, but I should be worried."
"The Xie family has any objections?"
"At that time, the Qu family of the four pillar countries was on my side, and Qu Tiannan also led the Qingluan Army into Jin under my persuasion; Shi Yuantang was a fair man, and he would listen to whoever was the regent, but in the final analysis After all, you still favor me;
The Dugu family is used to being disorganized and proud, but Dugu Mu also has a heart for the country.
Only this Xie family;
Wasn't there a saying back then that Shanyue was in chaos? First, Wutong County, where you were staying, and secondly, whether the Xie family was in chaos. The ancestors of the Xie family had a tradition of intermarrying with Shanyue.
Originally, the Xie family should not only be ranked among the four pillars of the country, but also be among the four major nobles. After all, the strength of their family was not inferior to that of the Qu family at its peak.
But because of his family background, he was not able to get in, and Mr. Xie has always kept a low profile.
A live fish is so slippery and full of scales that I can't catch it at all. "
"Your Majesty, isn't Xie Zhuyang already at the Weihe River?"
“The position of the Zhuguo is only because the power behind it is strong enough to have this title and to sit in this position, not because of the person who bears the name of the Zhuguo.
Mr. Xie,
In my heart, I can’t let go. "
Speaking of which,
Emperor Chu leaned back,
Fu forehead said:
"If it weren't for that slave Nian Yao who came to me and caused the situation to almost get out of control, I would not have taken advantage of the opportunity after the Yunchi alliance to invite Xie to come out.
Ha ha,
In the early years,
These nobles of our Da Chu pride themselves on having noble blood and believe that they are inherited from the oldest bloodline in the Xia Dynasty. They look down upon the Xie family and you. "
Xiong Tingshan married a Shanyue woman. If he and Wutong County had not surrendered to his fourth brother, and the fourth brother finally won, otherwise, such a treasonous act would have inevitably been suppressed by the aristocratic forces;
When the late emperor was on the throne, the nobles had no choice but to force the Xiong family to clean up the family by themselves.
"now what?"
Emperor Chu spread his hands,
road;
"They shouted, if the Xie family doesn't come out, what will happen to the common people in Chu?
The Xie family that they once looked down upon has now become their hope.
I've cut them too hard, and now one by one, they're on the verge of running to Mr. Xie to get married to our ancestors. "
"Since Your Majesty has already understood, why do you still want to hand over the imperial guards along the Wei River to Xie Zhuyang?"
"The first emperor of Yan State could tolerate the king of Jingnan and the king of Zhenbei. The current emperor of Yan State can also accommodate my sister-in-law. Why can't I tolerate the Xie family?
I believe that Mr. Xie also understands the principle of keeping the eggs intact even after the nest is overturned.
correct,
After summer, the money and food from Qian Kingdom will also arrive. It is up to you to continue to organize and train the new army.
in addition……"
Emperor Chu’s eyes darkened slightly,
"I plan to follow what Xie Qianliju said and ask him to go outside the South Gate and knock on the door."
"Your Majesty, he is only 13 years old."
"If Da Chu still has its national destiny, if Da Chu does not deserve to die, and God is not so kind to one, then
Ah,
It’s time to cast down a monster or two for me, right? "
……
"Young master, you are back."
The maid stepped forward to serve him kindly, but at this moment, a shadow came from behind and hit the maid between her eyebrows. The maid immediately passed out.
The shadow materialized, revealing the old man's figure.
"Young master, you are back."
"Ah."
Xie Yuan put his hands into a basin of hot water and washed his hands.
The old man placed the maid on a chair and waved incense in front of her nose.
This maid was a member of the Phoenix Nest Guards. It was obvious that Xie Yuan did not want to spread the following conversation.
"The master is very worried about the safety of the young master." The old man said.
"Let dad take care of himself. What he is facing is Zhennanguan. He cannot protect our great prince who is opposite and wants to go out and go crazy while the weather is fine."
"The master said that his side will be careful, and the Yan people have dismissed the savage servants at the Snow Customs. There should be no more military action in the near future."
"Well, who knows this."
Xie Yu'an picked up the handkerchief and wiped his face. His skin was very good, but he never took care of it. Perhaps this was the "natural beauty" that women envied.
"Young Master, does your Majesty want to do something to our Xie family..."
Xie Yu'an shook his head and said, "Maybe he did this before, or even maybe he did this before, but now, he doesn't. His Majesty thought he had enough time to pick up the broken jars and put them back together again;
Who knows that although the Yan people have changed their emperors and princes, they still seem to want to take advantage of your illness to kill you.
The Yanren are really the beasts with the biggest appetites that I have ever seen in my life. "
"If that's the case, then..."
"Don't worry about that. When I first met the Holy Spirit, I told His Majesty a lot of nonsense. His Majesty should have heard it."
"Young Master, are you hiding your shame in front of Your Majesty?"
"Look at what you said, am I that smart?"
"The young master is the smartest person I have ever seen in my life."
"I just like to hear such honest words from you, but Your Majesty is by no means taking it easy. Let’s not talk about the former emperor of Yan State. I even feel that the only country in Chu State that is no worse than Yan State from top to bottom is now. That is, His Majesty, our Emperor.
To digress, tell dad when you go to his place that I will probably be sent to the Liang Kingdom. "
"Where do you want to go, young master?"
The previous emperor of the Liang Kingdom had the blood of the Great Chu Xiong family, and could be said to be one of his own, but the current emperor rose to the throne by launching a coup with the prime minister, and later fought a battle with the Chu army. Now he is determined to be the servant of the Yan people.
"It's good to go there. Anyway, it's easier than going to dad's place to face our prince-in-law with him.
Damn,
Gee,
Tell me, why does this great Chu just say no and then stop?
When I was eight years old, I persuaded my father. I held a knife to my lower body and threatened my father with the two beads. If he dared to take the initiative to stand with the fourth prince, I would make his lineage extinct. "
Xie Zhuyang had many wives and concubines, but he had only one son, not even a daughter.
Therefore, this threat is very serious.
"What have become of the Qu family and the Shi family that were the first to recognize the Fourth Prince and choose to stand firmly by his side and support him?
Our Majesty, in the past few years, we wanted to imitate the late Emperor of Yan State, and we also played a Chu-style horse-stepping, and put our heads in advance. Not only would people not be grateful, but they would also feel satisfied. With one knife, click... …”
"But young master, this time..."
"This time I persuaded my father not to listen to the deception of those guys and send troops to clear the emperor. Back then, those nobles looked down on our Xie family and felt that our Xie family had dirty blood and was not worthy of being ranked among the nobles;
Now, one by one, they are coming together like dogs, hoping that I, Mr. Xie, will come forward to reorganize Dachu and return Dachu to what it was like before.
They treat me, Mrs. Xie, as a fool.
He also treated His Majesty as a fool.
Wangjiang was defeated,
The national war was defeated,
The capital of Ying was burned,
Nian Yao was captured,
After several wars in the past few years, our elite generals in Da Chu have been damaged too much, but the foundation of the Xiong family, the royal forbidden army, has actually been preserved.
Without Nian Yao and the Fifth Highness, it is impossible to pick out another servant. If those nobles were the nobles back then, they would be able to play, but they have even dug up their ancestral graves. To say that they are strong outsiders and hardworking among them is considered a compliment. If they are defeated and Xie takes the lead on her own, that is just looking for trouble. "
"Master he..."
"It's so embarrassing to tell you. I fought with a knife once when I was eight years old. Now I'm 13, I have to fight again. Alas, I don't dare to play with the maid now. I accidentally got a seed...
Now that Dad has a grandson, he won’t be afraid of me if I can’t stand my sword, and I won’t be able to threaten him.
You said it would be fine if my father had bad health and bones and would not live long. But apart from being unable to give birth to younger brothers and sisters, my father has a very strong body and bones. Unless he died in battle, he would look like he would live a long life.
Ugh……"
The old man's face twitched, he couldn't answer these words.
"Alas, I'm not good at cultivation. I'm a loser in martial arts. I can't sense Qi in Qi training. It's witchcraft. Looking at those snakes, insects, rats and ants makes me feel sick in my stomach.
They are 13 years old, some are married, some are fathers, but we don’t dare to really go into the alley, I am worried to death. "
The handsome young man muttered to himself, saying these "unpalatable" dirty words.
The old man stood silently on the side, like a wooden man.
"By the way, give me an extra message for my dad."
"Young Master, please tell me."
"I want to make some achievements this time. Firstly, it is to improve the situation in my Dachu where everyone is panicking now. Secondly, it is to show the Xie family, that is, the old people in our family.
In the past, they only knew that I was smart and that Qianliju and other things were passed down by them themselves, but they still thought that I was young and needed my father to support the situation.
After this time, I have to let them see my ability, and I can stand alone. "
Xie Yuan took out another orange.
While peeling it off he said:
"Tell my dad to listen to me more in the future. If you are stupid, you have to realize that you are stupid. After this time, if you don't obey again, I won't bother to use the knife on myself.
I think,
Let’s see if my aunts are pretty after wearing Xiaohou. "
"This……"
"The original message is here. Don't worry. The old guy will get mad and beat you up, but he won't cut off your head, because he has to ask you to come back to send me a message again. Who is called Xie Shi? Your Qinggong is the best. What’s the easiest way?”
"Old slave..."
Xie Yu'an brought the peeled orange flesh to the old man's mouth. The old man opened his mouth and swallowed. It was obviously not the first time.
clap hands,
The young master of the Xie family smiled and said,
Road:
"Actually, I already know what the old guy will tell you to say to me.
He will say:
If others are gone,
As a son, I also have to wear sackcloth and wear filial piety.
The custody is more beautiful than those aunts! "
