The First Tyrant of Daxia

An old military advisor stepped out from the White Lotus Army, his hair as white as frost, standing in the wind and snow, looking frail and vulnerable.

"Little Master."

"We've received news from Shanhaiguan that there are very few garrison troops in various counties and prefectures. I guess that old man Shi Zhongtian has concentrated all his troops in Yuzhou City."

"Why don't we turn back and take down the counties near Shanhaiguan first, and then encircle and suppress Yuzhou?"

As soon as this statement was made, it received support from a large number of generals.

Countless pairs of eyes looked at Yang Taian.

"no!"

Yang Taian shook his head directly: "The news here will reach the emperor's ears in two days at most."

"Once his reinforcements arrive, we will be in trouble."

"It's useless to occupy various counties. Only by conquering Yuzhou can we have our own territory."

The old military advisor was worried: "My lord, if our retreat is cut off by the emperor..."

Hearing this, he sneered.

"When it comes to using troops, ten Qin Yuns can't compare to me."

"Besides, could he have known in advance that we would attack Yuzhou during the Lantern Festival?"

Everyone looked at each other and nodded: "Yes, young master."

Yang Taian was full of vigor and vitality, and the rolling darkness became his backdrop.

He shouted, "Let the purple and blue flags join the battle."

"Within two days, I want to see Yuzhou City fall, use Shi Zhongtian's blood to sacrifice the souls of the Sui Dynasty, and announce to the Central Plains that the Yang family is back!!"

"Yes!"

Thousands of soldiers roared, and their blood was quickly ignited!

After so many years of keeping a low profile, the outcome is now at hand!

Soon after, another 20,000 people joined the battle. Their equipment was not very sophisticated, but they were as good as the regular army in fighting.

The land of Yuzhou was shaking with mountains collapsing and the ground cracking, as if the world was about to end.

Both sides were roaring and fighting.

It was not until dawn, when both sides were exhausted, that the White Lotus Army chose to retreat, rest temporarily, and prepare for the next siege.

What they didn't know was that there was another elite force of the imperial court, which, under Qin Yun's advance arrangements, had quickly moved into the Yuzhou area.

They then encircled the area towards Shanhaiguan.

……

Two days later, it’s the Lantern Festival.

The flying snow is like broken jade, and the people's heads are covered with white.

The bustle of the imperial capital formed a sharp contrast with the battlefield in Yuzhou.

Merchants from the Western Regions performed street shows, breathing fire and playing with monkeys, and vendors from all over the country set up stalls and shouted constantly.

People put new peach charms on their doorsteps and then go out to the streets to watch the fun and enjoy the annual Lantern Festival.

day.

Qin Yun, along with his concubines, civil and military officials, traveled to various major academies and climbed to high places to meet and greet the common people.

In the evening, there were constant sounds of firecrackers and the place was extremely lively.

The endless red lanterns set off the brilliant lights of the ancient imperial capital, which was at its peak!

Qin Yun hosted a banquet for all officials in the Weiyang Palace.

At the same time, it was announced that there would be no curfew all night and everyone could take to the streets to enjoy the full moon of the Lantern Festival.

To share happiness with the people.

He issued an order to announce the prize and set up fifty stalls of different sizes. Whoever could match the first couplet he came up with would be rewarded with ten taels of silver.

In addition, all elderly people and children can receive a piece of chicken for the New Year at the government office.

When the news came out, the whole city was shocked.

The people were delighted and their eyes were filled with tears.

I just exclaimed, Your Majesty is wise!

Long live His Majesty...

The Weiyang Palace, with hanging ribbons and continuous lanterns, looks like thousands of lights, and is extremely charming.

Thousands of people gathered here, truly symbolizing the most glorious side of Daxia!

"Your Majesty, please write another poem to pray for the new year?" Xiao Yuxiang pulled his sleeve and said expectantly.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Li Mu and others all looked at her like little fans.

Not only that, Qin Yun discovered that the eyes of all the civil and military officials, as well as the many talented men and beautiful women who had been invited, all lit up.

In this era, people's yearning for poetry, singing and dancing goes beyond any other entertainment.

The name of Qin Yun, the immortal poet, is widely known.

Who doesn't want to listen to His Majesty's impromptu poetry?

Alas, a tall tree attracts the wind, Qin Yun sighed in his heart in a pretentious manner.

"Cough cough..."

"In that case, I will embarrass myself in front of you all."

Everyone smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. If you are just trying to embarrass yourself, then we should find a hole in the ground to hide in."

"Hurry up."

Several women urged him on, and they looked especially beautiful under the glass lamps.

Qin Yun had guessed that this would happen, so he came up with an absolutely awesome poem a few days ago!

He first pretended to stand up, put one hand behind his back, frowned slightly, and seemed to be in deep thought or brewing something.

At this moment, Weiyang Palace suddenly became quiet.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he looked particularly majestic.

The girls were so impatient that they even swallowed saliva in their white throats.

Murong Shunhua couldn't help but laugh secretly. This cunning man, he just wrote poetry and deliberately kept people in suspense.

at last!

Qin Yun spoke.

"The sound of firecrackers eliminates one year old, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. Thousands of households always replace old talismans with new peaches."

He did it in one go without pausing for even a second!

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.

There was a moment of daze in everyone's pupils, as if they were deeply immersed in the artistic conception of the poem, which directly overlapped with the scene in the imperial capital today and was extremely appropriate.

Qin Yun raised the corners of his mouth and muttered to himself, Wang Anshi's New Year's Day poem may not be the best poem of all time, but it is not far from it. It is definitely one of those poems that is easy to remember.

Once this poem comes out, won’t it shock the whole audience? !

Sure enough, the next second.

The whole audience was thunderous and cheered!

Fanatically shouting: "Good poetry, good poetry!"

"Your Majesty's literary talent is unmatched throughout history!!"

"I admire you."

"Quick, eunuchs, write this down quickly and spread it across the country!"

Thousands of people cheered in amazement.

Xiao Yuxiang, Li Mu, Su Yan and the others all had their beautiful eyes lit up, showing admiration.

They don't have the slightest idea that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but they really think she is good.

The deans of the three academies looked at each other at this moment, all with bitter smiles and shame.

"I'm afraid that all the poems written to celebrate the New Year this year will be overshadowed by your Majesty."

“This poem deserves the crown!”

Qin Yun touched the tip of his nose. Every time he plagiarized someone else's poem to show off, he would feel a little embarrassed.

"Everyone, it's just a poem, don't pay too much attention to it."

"Let us drink this cup to the full and pray for a good harvest in the new year, a long-lasting victory in the army, and peace and prosperity for the country and the people."

As he spoke, he walked out of the platform, stood on the most dazzling white jade steps, holding up a wine glass, wearing a dragon robe, looking extremely majestic.

Thousands of people here were suddenly shocked!

Your Majesty has a very broad vision!

What is being pretended is not a poem, but the whole world.

For a time, there were waves of turmoil.

Thousands of people knelt down one after another, and their voices echoed throughout the resplendent Weiyang Palace.

"Your Majesty is wise and wise. We are ashamed!"

"I wish the country peace and prosperity, your majesty will be content, and our Great Xia will be strong!"

"..."

Qin Yun grinned and said, "Drink!"

He drank the whole drink heroically. The wine went into his throat and gathered into a white mist, which he then exhaled. He felt refreshed and full of manliness.

The beautiful girls in Weiyang Palace all had rosy eyes.

Most of them are ladies from prominent families in the imperial capital. They were brought into the palace by their elders on this day just to win Qin Yun's favor.

But they were the first to fall under Qin Yun's heroic presence!

Afterwards, Qin Yun held up his wine glass and began to drink with civil and military officials, as well as business celebrities, demonstrating his friendly and benevolent character.

Xiao Yuxiang, Dou Ji and others began to secretly select concubines for him.

"Sister Queen, take a look at that girl. She is the youngest daughter of the Imperial Censor, and she is eighteen years old."
