city ??break(1/2)
Because of a Western envoy, the morning quarrel made people dizzy. After the court was dispersed, Chang Geng ignored the large group of people who had their own worries and wanted to find out about his words, and helped the elderly Feng Hangong out of the palace.
People in the capital were panic, and there were very few cars and horses. Gu Yun usually asked Huo Dan to lead a horse outside the palace to wait for him, but Huo Dan was delayed by something and no one was seen for a while.
Chang Geng didn't care at first, and walked side by side with the old director of Lingshu Courtyard and slowly walked back.
Gong Feng Han lived in Lingshu Courtyard all day long, his eyes were already concave, and his whole body was like a radish that had been drained from water, leaving only a pair of eyes shining brightly, which looked particularly uncomfortable.
"It is hard for Your Highness to have the patience to accompany us old people like us," said Feng Hangong. "Is there any news about reinforcements? When will we come?"
Chang Geng: "The four riots have stumbled on the five major military regions. You also know that in recent years, the military expenditure and purple gold quotas of each state have been reduced repeatedly, and it is basically impossible to afford a few heavy armors, all of which are light coats. Although the light coats are fast and easy to mobilize, they are also very easy to be blocked. Once the enemy sets up heavy armor or chariots along the way, if the general has little experience, it is easy to trap the team in the enemy's siege - foreigners don't even have to send many people."
"Your Highness really makes me feel ashamed. Lingshu Courtyard hasn't produced anything decent for several years," Zhang Fenghan shook his head mockingly, "I, a useless old man, are also a corpse. I originally thought that I would die with the emperor after the New Year, but I was afraid that I would have a good end in the country in a disaster."
Chang Geng said in a gentle voice: "The merits of the Han Gong will be forever, and you should not underestimate yourself."
"Qianqiu... Is there a big beam after Qianqiu?" Zhang Fenghan pursed, "I thought that after entering Lingshu Courtyard, I could turn a blind eye to the outside world, deal with lighters and steel armor all my life, and concentrate on doing my own work. But it turns out that the world is bustling, and even if gentlemen and villains go their own way, they can always collide with each other. The more you don't want to interfere with anything, the more you want to do something, the more you can't do anything - even if you just want to be a low-ranking guy full of mobile phone oil."
Chang Geng knew that Feng Hangong was just expressing his feelings and did not want to hear his answer, so he smiled and said nothing.
As Daliang has come to this point, the conflict between imperial power and military power has certainly been □□, but it is not the most fundamental reason. The chronic disease has already destined to be a bleak ending when the treasury is getting worse year by year.
Zhang Fenghan: "The ban on air nets of Qiyuanlou are adjusted every day. Nowadays, those foreigners only dare to steer the military chariots, and a large number of eagle armor dare not go up, but the power in the stake is always limited. I heard that foreigners use strings to pull wooden kites to "fly kites" outside the city every day. I am afraid that in a few days, the iron arrows stored in the stake will be unsustainable. What should I do then? Does Gu Shuai have a constitution?"
The existing Xuanying in Beidaying, including those with short legs, is less than a hundred. Once the banned air network fails, it is probably the time when the city is broken.
Chang Geng: "Well, he knows, he is trying to figure out a solution."
Zhang Fenghan, who was full of worries, was amused and laughed at this. He didn't know whether he should say that King Yanbei was a "hero-born boy" or that he was less stubborn. It seemed that even if the sky fell in front of him, the little prince would have nothing to do with him.
Zhang Fenghan deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Today, I disappeared Commander Han from the Imperial Guard. Did the prince see it? There are rumors in the court that the emperor angrily scolded the Western envoys on the surface, but actually planned to move the capital."
Chang Geng smiled, calmly: "Your Majesty doesn't know, we are not at the end of our lives. I saw the car from Lingshuyuan and help you up... Well, is Huo Bo here?"
Huo Dan walked in a hurry, his face full of restlessness, and came to Chang Geng: "I'm late today. Please forgive me."
"No," Chang Geng waved his hand, "What's the matter with Huo Bo delayed today?"
"..." Huo Dan looked at his expression carefully, "The Marquis was injured by Western arrows last night. I only heard it early in the morning that I just went there... Alas, Prince!"
With Huo Dan and Zhang Fenghan stunned, Chang Geng's face, who was still wandering just now, suddenly changed his expression. He turned over and jumped onto the horse's back, and disappeared like a gust of wind.
The smell of gunpowder in front of the Nine Gate Formation had not yet dissipated, and the Western army had just stopped and retreated at dawn, and Gu Yun was able to breathe for a moment.
A piece of black iron's shoulder armor was concave, and the arrow was already there. Two military doctors surrounded Gu Yun, holding up pliers and scissors, and carefully pried down his deformed shoulder armor. The clothes and flesh inside had mixed into a ball.
Chang Geng rushed in and his eyes fell on Gu Yun for a moment, and he couldn't help but turn his eyes away. His face looked even worse than the injured one.
"Hiss..." Gu Yun took a deep breath, "I'm going to say, can you two be more happy? Embroidery is this - how about it?"
Chang Geng didn't answer, took a deep breath and stepped forward, waved the two military doctors back, bent down and carefully observed the armor pieces that could not be broken off from Gu Yun's body. He took out a small iron pliers that were long from his arms, hugged Gu Yun's shoulders tightly, and cut them down from the other side. His hands were extremely fast, and the sharp little pliers cut the iron like mud to open a hole in the deformed shoulder armor, and blood immediately stuck to his hand.
Chang Geng's cheeks tensed, and he couldn't breathe for a moment, and whispered: "Why are you so hurt like this, don't tell me?"
Gu Yun, who was still grinning, endured the pain and said gritting his teeth: "A small matter - what did the Western envoy at the meeting say?"
"What can I say? Let's talk nonsense in the Golden Palace," Chang Geng moved his unstable fingers and uncovered the broken armor that was stuck on Gu Yun's body by blood. "I say we can lift the 'persecution and plunder' of the countries in the Western Regions, and give up the territory outside Jiayuguan to be the commercial area of all countries. The laws in the commercial area shall follow their domestic rule of law, and... "
The deformed shoulder armor was removed. Chang Geng stared at Gu Yun's wound and took a deep breath. He stood up straight and relaxed for a moment.
"What else?" Gu Yun shivered and sweated coldly, "I said, doctor, why are you still dizzy?"
Chang Geng was as tight as an iron rod: "I'm dizzy in your blood."
He snatched Gu Yun's wine pot and drank two gulps hard. He was so dizzy that he wanted to vomit. He forced himself to breathe for a while. Chang Geng picked up the scissors on the side and cut the clothes that could not see the background.
"There are also allocated to the eighteen tribes north of the northern border, Xijing to Youzhou, Zhili, to the eighteen tribes, and the capital of Daliang was moved to the eastern capital of the Central Plains - and the other Princess He Ning was sent to the eighteen tribes as a staunch. From then on, I paid tribute to the eighteen tribes and paid annual tribute every year..."
He Ning is Li Feng's only daughter, only seven years old.
Gu Yun said angrily: "Fart!"
As soon as he struggled, blood suddenly poured out. Chang Geng couldn't bear it and shouted: "Don't move!"
The two of them were silent for a moment, and Gu Yun looked gloomy and gloomy. After a while, he said: "...you continue."
"In addition, they also forced Li Feng to order Chen Yi to withdraw the southern garrison troops occupying the Nanyang Islands, and to control the East China Sea Canal and the East China Sea canal are divided into rivers. The Jiangnan Navy retreated to Hanoi, and the outside of the river and the East China Sea line were transferred to the Western Far East District." Chang Geng's eyes were deep, but his hands were very gentle to wipe his wounds. He paused and said, "There is still compensation..."
Gu Yun tightened his muscles silently.
"In the morning court, Li Feng wanted to behead the envoy, but was persuaded by the ministers." Chang Geng held Gu Yun's uninjured shoulder, "I want to clean the wound, adoptive father, can you temporarily seal your consciousness?"
Gu Yun shook his head.
Chang Geng advised kindly: "I only use a little medicine. You are very resistant and can't sleep for long. If there is a change in the outer city, I will guard you..."
"Wash it, wash it," Gu Yun interrupted, "Don't talk nonsense."
Chang Geng glanced at him and realized that it was useless to reason with this person.
At this moment, Tan Hongfei ran over and said, "Master..."
As soon as Gu Yun turned around, he smelled a strange fragrance. He took a sip without any warning and his whole body suddenly became soft.
The wise and powerful Marquis of Anding never expected that His Highness the Prince would have such inconsistent methods as "the universe in his sleeves" and even used them on himself!
Gu Yun: "You..."
Chang Geng didn't blink, and quickly stabbed the thin needle into his acupoint, then grabbed Gu Yun's unconscious body.
Tan Hongfei, who watched the coach being knocked down, stared at the door, staring at His Royal Highness with his eyes: "..."
Chang Geng made a gesture of silence at him without changing his face, picked up Gu Yun and put it flat, and began to clean his wounds carefully.
Tan Hongfei was dumbfounded: "This...that..."
Chang Geng: "It's okay, let him sleep for a while and suffer less."
Tan Hongfei blinked - a long time ago, he always thought that His Highness Yanbei was like a kind scholar, but later he found out that he could do it. He was very impressed and felt close to him... It was not until this moment that Commander Tan felt a rising respect for him.
Tan Hongfei subconsciously reached out and touched his face - the scar on his face had not yet been removed - he thought to himself: "The prince is too brave."
Chang Geng: "By the way, what's the matter?"
Tan Hongfei then came back and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, the emperor is here, the car is right behind, look..."
While speaking, Li Feng, who was haggard, came in casual clothes, with only Zhu Xiaojiao beside him.
Li Feng looked down at Gu Yun in a coma, then reached out to touch his forehead: "Is the emperor okay?"
"Skin wounds." Chang Geng bandaged the wound, put a thin layer of silk robe on Gu Yun, and packed his silver needles: "It's just that I used some anesthetic for him and I won't wake up for a while. Don't be surprised by the emperor brother."
After Chang Geng finished speaking, he got up and picked up Gu Yun's wind-cutting blade, without wearing any armor, turned around and walked out.
Li Feng hurriedly asked, "What?"
"I will guard the city for my adoptive father for a while," said Chang Geng. "Although the messenger is in Beijing, he is probably a maze of Westerners. Maybe he will attack the city while we relax our vigilance. Be cautious."
Li Feng stood there for a while, suddenly grabbed a sword and followed him out, Zhu Xiaojiao was shocked: "Master!"
Li Feng ignored him and went up to the city wall.
With the eyes of his hand, Emperor Long'an saw that the Western Army's camp was not far away, and the fertile soil of the suburbs of the capital was now full of devastation. In the past, the nine gates of the capital, which were like flowing water and horses, were so depressed that it was so depressed that the collapsed city wall was held tightly by the scrapped black iron armor, shaking and unchanging.
The ordinary soldiers and generals in Beidaying knew Chang Geng and came forward to greet him, but they did not know Li Feng. They just saw that he was well-dressed and had extraordinary temperament. They regarded him as a civil servant, and they all called him "adults" ambiguously.
The two brothers of the Li family, who were both in appearance and in harmony, stood side by side on the city wall, and were not at all similar in appearance to their bodies. Their relationship was as weak as if a finger could pierce the window paper.
Li Feng suddenly said to Changgeng: "Han Qi should be able to come back in the afternoon. Please give me a message to the emperor and ask him to find someone who can trust him to answer him."
Chang Geng didn't ask, and seemed not curious at all, and just replied casually: "Yes."
Li Feng: "Don't ask where I asked Han Qi to go?"
Chang Geng lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the stone bricks on the city wall, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I have dispatched the Ziliujin and military supplies of the Ministry of Revenue. I found that there are some questions about the entry and exit of Ziliujin in the court in a few years... But it may be that the emperor's own arrangement."
Emperor Long'an knew as soon as he heard this that the little purple gold he had hidden had long been noticed by Chang Geng.
Li Feng said a little embarrassedly: "Well, there is a secret passage leading to Jinghuayuan in Desheng Gate. I asked Han Qi to lead his troops out of the city from here and open the private warehouse of Jinghuayuan. There are... Wow, I have not yet been able to deliver the 160,000 kilograms of purple gold that I have not yet delivered - don't say it, the people in the court are unstable at the moment. If I know about the secret passage, I am afraid that someone will be in a state of mind."
Chang Geng nodded, not very surprised - Li Feng took out his family's fortune.
He was as stubborn as Emperor Long'an, and he could not lose his power and humiliate the country and submit to anyone. He would rather be buried under the Nine Gates.
As soon as he was silent, there was nothing to say between the two of them-in fact, except for the government affairs in the court and the polite nonsense when paying homage, there was really nothing to say between the Li brothers.
Li Feng: "How old do you know the emperor's uncle?"
Chang Geng: "…the twelve years of vain."
Li Feng said "Hmm" and said, "He has not started a family and has been leading troops in the northwest for a long time. I guess he will not be able to take care of you, right?"
Chang Geng's eyes fluctuated slightly: "No, he is very fond of people."
Li Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at the vast skylight, remembering that he had the love he had grown up with Gu Yun. When he was a child, he was occasionally jealous of his father treating Gu Yun better and more gentlely, but in most cases he still felt that although this little emperor did not play with them, he was very good.
He also thought that this little teenage affection would last for a lifetime.
But it has only been like this for more than ten years.
"Amin," Li Feng said, "If the city is broken, I will be in you. You will take the harem and all officials to go through the secret passage first, move the capital to Luoyang... and then slowly plan to make a comeback, and you will always make a comeback."
Chang Geng finally glanced at him.
"If there really is one day," Li Feng's eyes were flat and he looked into the distance, and continued, "You don't have to be in the prince, just give your nephews a place to stay."
To be continued...
