North Journey

"Ying'er, do you think the father did something wrong?"

His concubine was born in the Duke's Mansion, and her father was the most trusted right-hand man of his father.Since he married the princess, although he has treated her with respect as a guest and given her the greatest respect he can, he has never let the concubines in the mansion see any possibility of going past her, but once he declares war with his father, she It will become a bargaining chip for a political marriage. If it succeeds, it can be used as a link between him and his father-in-law. Within the nine clans, they are both "rebels", and it can also make the father suspicious of his father; I will face the dilemma of my husband fighting against his father and brothers on the battlefield.So these words, he can not say with his wife.

And his two sons... Qi Jun smiled wryly.No matter how many reasons he finds for himself, in the final analysis, he chose to go to the step of rebellion, and he insisted on directly confronting the court, but because he was arrogant and refused to give in to the weak in his eyes, and he regarded freedom and dignity above blood and family. and worldly ethics.It's a pity that among his three children, only Lin'an is somewhat like him.

"Father."

It was difficult for Qi Ying to answer such a question.Even in the eyes of others, she is already more rebellious than any woman in this world, but her heart is still soft and affectionate.Grandpa Huang treated her very well. If it was possible, she would not want her father to turn against her grandfather. Even if she could wait a few more months, it would be better than the current father and son killing each other.However, it is difficult to have both in the world, and people are close and distant.She can't guarantee the safety of the Yan Palace after the new emperor ascends the throne, and she can't let the whole palace be slaughtered. Since she can't persuade the emperor's grandfather, how can she stand up and persuade the father?

"It's just that the world is difficult..."

So in the end, they can only comfort so meaninglessly.

For a while, the city wall fell into silence again.

After a long time, Qi Jun spoke again.

"Mr. laughed."

Shi Yan smiled and shook his head,

"Your Highness hesitates, so Shi Mou can feel at ease."

The king can be cruel and decisive, but he must never be without a little bit of generosity and benevolence.If even father and brother can do it without hesitation, how can they love all people and benefit the world?

King Yan understood Shi Yan's implication, and the last trace of doubts about him in his heart finally dissipated.

"good very good!"

He laughed out loud, although Qi Ying didn't fully understand what his father was thinking, but he guessed a little bit, so he smiled lightly as well.

Although the King of Yan seemed to have trusted Shi Yan, a senior scholar who claimed to be Shi Mingxu, and was willing to keep him by his side even on such a private occasion, he still had some doubts about Shi Yan in his heart.

What he first fell in love with was actually the master next to Shi Yu who didn't know his surname, but had "Ming" in his single name. The heart-to-heart sympathy between warriors is often more magnanimous than that between literati and inkmen.King Yan, who is the champion of the three armies, rarely meets an opponent who can fight him heartily, so he is eager to drag the opponent back to the palace and the army, and fight another hundred rounds.

He has learned from his family since he was a child, and has experienced decades of experience in the battlefield. Except for being beaten up by his father since he was a child, he rarely meets a master who can beat him.However, the excitement of meeting the opponent turned into suspicion after the timing appeared.

It's not that he's overwhelmed, but because of his well-known martial idiot attributes, there are countless people from all walks of life who use experts to catch him.Not to mention, all three of his brothers have used this trick before.Except for the fact that the quality of the masters is particularly high this time, this routine is exactly the same as the previous ones.

However, the appearance of those staff members in his mansion looking at Shi Sequence eagerly, unable to even speak with excitement, reassured him a little bit of doubt.According to the stingy characters of his brothers, such a talent is not willing to use it on him, a "reckless man".But on the other hand, the guess that Time Sequence was sent by his father seems to have become a little more believable.

At that time, he and his father, Huangshang, were still in a state of testing each other and getting used to each other, so they were not in a hurry to pull out the nails.After seeing people's hearts for a long time, I also feel that this gentleman's temper and character are more and more suitable for him. He knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to measure, which is a rare talent.Until today, he can finally be sure that this gentleman is probably the kind of counselor with an overwhelming sense of responsibility who is so concerned about the country and the people that he insists on supporting the Ming Lord in his eyes to ascend the throne in order to make Haiyan, Heqing, and the world peaceful.

——It seems that a certain person's self-confidence is probably in the same line as his father's.

But speaking of it, at least I asked the will of the world to specially tailor the counselor version timing sequence according to the character of King Yan. If Qi Jun is still dissatisfied with his favorability, then I am afraid that he should be called the only one who knows everything. no.

In the spring of the 14th year of Jianwu in the Yong Dynasty, King Yan rebelled.

Emperor Tai/Zugao Qi Yu took Wei Guogong Zhao Jing as his general, Xingping Hou Li Huai, and his son-in-law captain Zhang Baolai as his left and right deputy generals, leading an army of 30 to attack Yan.At the same time, Xu Rui was secretly ordered to command the capital of Yan to assassinate King Yan in the army.

Unexpectedly, after Xu Rui received the secret decree, he disrespected his superiors and detained the envoy without authorization. After half a month, he brought the secret decree and the angel to King Yan.Most of the generals in the north are the former troops of the King of Yan, and many of them surrendered from the city.The next month, the Yan army and the right general Zhang Baolai's troops met in Wuying County. Zhang Baolai was defeated and fled to Yuzhou, and the right army collapsed.

On the seventh day, a strange man and a horse broke into the tent of the Zuo army and executed Marquis Xingping in the tent.When morning and evening intersect, there is a thunderbolt in the clear sky, the sky is cracked and there are gaps, and the camp of Yongjun is dark, except for a ray of sunlight like a pillar, shining around the body of the stranger, like a god.

On the same day, the main force of the Yong army and the Yan army met in Yuzhou.It was three o'clock in the night, the sky was raining heavily, and the thunderbolt destroyed the commander-in-chief flag.Zhao Jing sighed three times and said "God's will", so he led his army to surrender to King Yan in the early morning of the next day.But Zhang Baolai, captain-in-law captain, fled with a small army of horses and ran to Liangzhou.

When the military report reached the capital, Qi Yu was inquired. He vomited three liters of blood and died of illness.

Prince Qi Qin succeeded to the throne hastily, but eventually lost to King Yan. After 47 days in office, he ordered Zen to be located in Qi Jun, and was imprisoned in another palace. He died of depression at the age of 47.

"What do you want sir?"

King Yan, no, Qi Jun, who should be called "Your Majesty" now, looked at Shi Yan. Although there was suspicion in his eyes, he still showed the arrogance that an emperor should have.

Everything he has done in the past three months can be said to have been extremely smooth.There is nothing to complain about, but in the past dynasties, which prince rebelled as smoothly as he did.

Others only said that he was like a divine help, but he was the only one who was suspicious, a little shocked and apprehensive.He was born in the army since he was a child, and what he saw, heard, and experienced made him firmly believe that man can conquer the sky, life and death are up to him, and he has always been noncommittal about those ghosts and gods.Yet every time his father mentioned it, it was reticent, meaningful, and deliberate, as if there was something to it.

Now, if his guess is correct, his "divine help" along the way is likely to be that there is an existence beyond ordinary people interfering in every major event during these three months.

Shi Yan admired such a creature, calm and rational enough.He will not be blinded after receiving benefits, but he will not regard those who are far superior to him as enemies because of the power he holds.

"Your Majesty, don't bother, everything has been decided, and the destiny has returned. Our destiny is here, and we will never see each other again."

Shi Yan's figure gradually faded away, and together with Ming Qi, he disappeared in front of the emperor, leaving only the hero who had just enthroned as emperor, thinking thoughtfully in the empty imperial study.

"He didn't believe in ghosts and gods."

Shi Yan and Ming Qi didn't actually leave, they just concealed their figures and strolled in the palace.

Qi Qin was cowardly and unable to organize an effective resistance at all.Qi Jun took over the palace smoothly, and with the new emperor ascending the throne, the subordinates were busy performing, so this palace that just changed hands can be regarded as a coincidence.

"If it wasn't for his disbelief in ghosts and gods, you wouldn't have to work so hard to pretend to be a counselor." Ming Qi habitually interlocked his fingers at the same time, then turned to look at him, "Ah Shi, where shall we go next?"

He is no longer like when they were raising Qi Yu before, he insisted on dominating Shi Ying, and he didn't want anyone to distract Shi Ying from his attention, and he was able to enjoy the interaction between the two of them playing different roles. the fun it brings.A weak counselor and loyal guard, seeing Ah Shi relying on him for everything and relying on him for protection, there is indeed an unspeakable kindness.However, he hoped that it would be wonderful if there were only him and Ah Shi, no matter what they did, without other people disturbing them.

Seeing Ming Qi's mood, Shi Yan no longer struggled with what he originally wanted to say.He originally wanted to try his best to understand the emotions of ordinary beings, to understand Ming Qi's thoughts, so that he could better respond to Ming Qi's thoughts.After all, the character of the gods of destruction in the past dynasties cannot be tested, but the one he raised in front of him is innocent and lively. Rather than saying that he is born with the same nature as himself and has no emotions, it is better to say that he is closer to those gods with rich emotions. of ordinary creatures.

However, before he could answer Ming Qi's question, a figure suddenly rushed in front of them.

"Sir, why?!"

When Qi Yu saw Shi Qi and Ming Qi, and saw them together with Qi Jun, there was something he didn't understand.Winner and loser, he never had any resentment towards Qi Jun's entry into the capital, but when he saw Shi Yan and Ming Qi, he suddenly felt unwilling.

Before he died, he couldn't figure out why Zhao Jing and Xu Rui would betray him.Not to mention that it was because Qi Jun married Zhao Jing's daughter, he dared to let Qi Jun marry him, and dared to make Zhao Jing his general, so he was sure that he would not betray.In his response, Zhao Jing and Xu Rui were both bright and dark, especially because he believed that he would never betray his confidants.Li Huai is upright and upright, he uses soldiers like a god, he can be a vanguard, and he is not worried that he will betray the country and prepare for the master.As for Zhang Baolai, although he was a waste, he had a good reincarnation. The Zhang family of Weiliang was very famous. After several generations, this only seedling of a single lineage was placed in the army, so he no longer had to worry about the safety of the western border and food and grass.

But he didn't expect that Li Huai died before he left his teacher, and Zhao Jing and Xu Rui took refuge in King Yan one after another. Only Zhang Baolai, a waste that he didn't pay attention to at first, although he had been defeated repeatedly, he relied on his support for Chang Shan. With such love, he insisted on borrowing [-] soldiers from Liangzhou, and went back to the capital to rescue his wife.
