Chasing King

Three years later,

the stars change and the harvest comes in autumn and winter.

For thousands of years, no matter the change of dynasty or family name or the vicissitudes of life, there has never been any change in this world, with the alternation of cold and heat, the rise of the sun and the fall of the moon.

In the blink of an eye, three years later, the Dasheng Dynasty, which had enjoyed three years of peace and tranquility, rose again. It has been more than ten years since the great prince became zhuoletai, the emperor of the state of Jin, and once again raised its troops to attack Liaodong. Seventeen years ago, when the young and strong zhuoletai supported 100000 soldiers in an attempt to defeat Liaodong and make a direct attack on the capital, his great ambition and ambition stopped at guangningwei. This time, he vowed to win Liaodong.

On the Chang Dynasty, the officials were discussing the situation in northern Liaoning. The herald suddenly broke into the hall of Supreme Harmony: "Your Majesty, your majesty! As soon as emperor Zhaowu saw that he was in a panic, he said, "say it!"

"Liaodong messenger just arrived in Beijing, governor Han Governor Han I lost... "

Emperor Zhaowu's face was livid: "Yu, Yu Ji..."

Regardless of the etiquette, Yu Ji ran down to Danlong. He took the letter from the herald and ran back to the throne.

He is old and seems to run very hard, but the actual movement is very slow. Wenwu is worried about him and wishes he could do it for him. Emperor Zhaowu is also so anxious that he pats the armrest and his buttocks are already up.

Yan Sikong stood in the middle of the officials and watched emperor Zhaowu's ugly behavior coldly.

Han Zhaoxing will lose, as he expected.

The military newspaper finally arrived in the hands of emperor Zhaowu. He trembled and spread it out. He threw the newspaper up and said: "Taining is lost, general Di is dead!"

Yan Sikong narrowed his eyes, held his hands tightly in his sleeve, and pressed his fingers together. The pain made him awake.

Since the first World War of Guangning, the Jin soldiers were forced to retreat for hundreds of miles. Han Zhaoxing stepped on the bones of Yuanmao and enjoyed great achievements. With the support of the imperial court, he gradually recovered the lost land in northern Liaoning. In the past 17 years, seven prefectures in northern Liaoning have recovered four prefectures, and his hometown Taining is also among them.

After zhuoletai set up his army, Han Zhaoxing took the opportunity to ask the imperial court to dispatch troops. He wanted Datong's troops first, but resisting the remnant of Wala was very important. Many ministers opposed him. Finally, he sent 30000 troops from Henan government to support him, led by veteran general di. Now Taining was defeated again, and general Di died in a foreign land.

This war report exploded in the imperial court, and in the hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhuang solemnly and solemnly, there was a general clamor with the public.

"Silence," Yu Ji called out.

Emperor Zhaowu held his forehead with a look of pain: "Ai Qing, tell me, this What should we do? "

Meng duo stepped out and bowed himself to say, "Your Majesty, I think governor Han has been fighting with the Jin people for more than 20 years. I'm afraid he's afraid of the Jin people. Now he's defeated in the first battle, and general Di's morale is low. The situation after that is really worrying."

"Isn't that bullshit?" Emperor Zhaowu said angrily, "what's your opinion?"

"Your Majesty's atonement." Mengduo said, "I think we should choose another good general to guard Liaodong."

Xie Zhongren's party members naturally quit. The censor Ma Li jumped out and refuted: "governor Han retreated to attack the 100000 troops of zhuoletai, so we should be afraid, that's also zhuoletai's fear! Governor Han was unprepared for the surprise attack of zhuoletai. Although he lost Taining, there are still three states ahead of Huangshui. Since ancient times, victory or defeat is a matter of military affairs. It's ridiculous that Lord Tingwei will change his commander just because he is defeated

Since the death of Yan Zilian, the school of scholars has withered, but there are still upright and upright people who are dedicated to serving the country and the people. Meng duo, the Minister of Dali temple, is one of them.

"Yes, isn't general Di a good general? Even generals such as general Di were defeated by the hand of drollette. It can be seen that the strength of the Jin army is better than before. At this time, if they change their commanders, they will shake the morale of the army. "

"The defeat of general Di was not the result of his intelligence and bravery. It was clear that he was stationed in the central plains all the year round. When he arrived in Liaodong, it was cold and acclimatized. I would say that he should not have transferred troops from Yuzhou in the first place!"

"Hum, I didn't see your strong opposition when we discussed to dispatch troops from Yuzhou."

"It's not that you are fatuous and mistakenly master..."

The Confucianists and the scholar bureaucrats started to quarrel with each other.

"Don't make any noise!" Emperor Zhaowu beat the case hard and said in a loud voice: "Yang Yuqing!"

"I'm here."

Yang Yuqing, then Minister of the Ministry of war, came out.

Wen Youchi, then Minister of the Ministry of war, was designed by Yan Sikong to go back to his hometown. Now he is ill and unable to return to the imperial court. Feng Chuang, the right servant of the Ministry of war, was transferred to Jinan as governor. Yang Yuqing, who took office just last year, was formerly the left servant of the Ministry of industry and was in charge of ordnance manufacturing. Xie Zhongren finally took the Ministry of war back to his own hands.

Yan Sikong, since he became the emperor's son-in-law, has made great progress in the past three years. However, in his early years, he has succeeded Feng Chuang to become the right servant of the Ministry of war, ranking the third grade official.

Of course, if he was only a son-in-law, he would not have risen so fast. With extraordinary skill, he was not only introduced by Xie Zhongren as a confidant, but also used Xie Zhongren and his son-in-law's identity to become a close Minister of emperor Zhaowu. He tried his best to give up all his honesty, shame and integrity, and coaxed emperor Zhaowu into cheerfulness, making emperor Zhaowu's favor more and more prosperous.Although he is now the right servant, Yang Yuqing still has to give him three points, and the power of the Ministry of war is falling into his hands step by step.

Emperor Zhaowu pointed to Yang Yuqing and said, "you proposed to dispatch troops from Henan Province. What do you have to say?"

Yang Yuqing knelt to the ground and said in a deep voice: "I wrote that day. I have listed the gains and losses. Except for Yuzhou, other places are not suitable."

"Yang Sima is clearly avoiding the heavy and taking the light." Mengduo refuted, "at that time, we were still debating whether to dispatch troops. The 70000 troops in Liaodong were well prepared and had enough food and grass to resist drolteben. Why go all the way to send troops to support us? In my opinion, governor Han seized the opportunity to take over military power. General Di's death is not clear. "

"What do you mean, Mr. Ting Wei?" A speech official jumped up, "but allude to Han governor for seizing military power let general Di to die? You have a sinister mind

"I didn't say that." Mendor snorted coldly.

General Chen Shu stood up and said in a thick voice: "on that day, Yang Sima proposed to dispatch troops from Yuzhou, but all the officials opposed. Now general Di died in the war, and Taining was lost. The military department can't shirk its responsibility." He suddenly glared at Yan Sikong fiercely, "Yan's son-in-law also strongly encouraged the troops to be transferred from Yuzhou that day. Why don't you put a fart now?"

All the officials swept their eyes to Yan Sikong, including disgust, contempt, disdain and resentment. Yan Sikong's name as a courtier has been broadcast all over the world in three years and is destined to be recorded in history forever.

Yan Si bowed to Emperor Zhaowu and said calmly: "as Yang Shangshu said, the deployment of troops in Yuzhou is not a decision made on a whim. The gains and losses have been clarified. As Ma Yushi said, how can heroes be judged on the basis of the success or failure of the first World War? It's a taboo for military strategists to change commanders. I think your majesty should trust governor Han."

As soon as his voice fell, the ministers quarreled again. They pointed to Yan Sikong's nose and scolded him for "mistaking the Lord."

Yan Sikong is neither humble nor overbearing, his face is expressionless, and all sorts of things in his heart have already made plans.

Emperor Zhaowu was more and more favored by him, but less and less fortunate to Xie Zhongren. First, Xie Zhongren was arrogant because he had been favored for many years, and the castration party was too powerful to be suspected by the Lord. Second, he was too old to please emperor Zhaowu. He wanted Han Zhaoxing to be the last straw to crush Xie Zhongren.

Han Zhaoxing's support of 70000 troops seems to be small, but it's also a great threat to be so close to the capital. He and Xie Zhongren are greedy and want to take over more military power. They want to borrow gold soldiers to go south and transfer troops from Henan government to help them.

Yan Sikong, like many people, has already seen the end. When general Di goes, most of them will never come back. If general Di does not die, how can he submit to Han Zhaoxing with 30000 soldiers and horses in Yuzhou? He knows Han Zhaoxing's true face better than "many people" and knows that even if Han Zhaoxing has 700000 soldiers and horses, he will lose to Zhuo Letai. He couldn't save his hometown, so he had to make a plan to win over Xie Zhongren with the defeat of Han Zhaoxing. Only in this way can he really save Liaodong and the Central Plains.

Yan Sikong dragged his tired body and mind to the carriage. When the curtain was down, he collapsed on the cushion and stared at the empty air.

Three years.

There was no news from Fengye.

Three years ago, more than 200 people in Feng's family were beheaded. Feng Jianping committed suicide and escaped from prison. Feng Ye's uncle was originally stationed in Datong on behalf of Feng Jianping. He was implicated and wanted to be executed at the same time. He fled with 3000 Feng family troops and disappeared in the vast northwest.

The trace of Fengjia gradually disappeared from the world. How vigorous it was in those days, and how calm it is now. It seems that the great feat of Fengjia army has never existed. This surname has become a taboo in this dynasty, and no one dares to mention it.

Over the past three years, Yan Sikong has become a calculating zombie. He doesn't believe anyone. He is cruel and insidious. He goes after the crowd and slanders and flatters the Lord. He helps Xie Zhongren eradicate his dissidents. He is greedy for money and has become infamous. His every step and every word has its own purpose.

He doesn't care about being spurned by others, or being scolded behind him, or the gain or loss of life or death. He seems to care nothing. He gives up everything as long as his goal is achieved.

But there was only one thing, only one thing, and he cared.

That's the safety of Fengye.

Feng Ye, are you still alive.
