The sky was dark, with lightning and thunder.
Brother Cong squatted by the river and watched the guards fishing in nets.
This is Fenshui, with beautiful mountains and clear waters and pleasant scenery.
It's okay to come here to relax occasionally. The problem is that Brother Cong has been staying by the river for seven or eight days. He doesn't leave at night and just lives by the river. He watches people fishing all day long and never tires of it. People who don't know it think this is...
What kind of stress relief program is this?
The sound of horse hooves sounded from the riverside.
After a while, a veteran got off his horse and angrily came to where Liu Cong was.
When the guards saw that it was Wang Zhang, the general of the Chinese army, they did not dare to stop him. They just took off his saber and let him go.
"It's Wang Qing. Let's eat fish tonight." Liu Cong glanced at it, then turned to continue watching the fishing.
"Your Majesty is responsible for the great responsibility of the country, how could he act so rashly?" Wang Zhang frowned and admonished.
"Why am I so rash?" Liu Cong asked, unhappy.
Wang Zhang also had a bad temper, and he said bluntly: "Your Majesty refused to offer fish and crabs, and beheaded the king of Xiangling, the envoy of Zuodu River. Now I watch the fishermen in Fenshui, but they don't come back at night. Compared with what your Majesty did, I am honest.
I am heartbroken and heartbroken. Today's stupid people have not fully aspired to return to the Han Dynasty, but they still yearn for the Jin Dynasty. Liu Kun is so close, assassins are everywhere. The emperor steps out lightly, and one man is the enemy of the ear——"
"That's enough!" Liu Cong stood up suddenly and said: "Since I used my troops, I have occupied Shangdang, destroyed Hanoi, harvested Hongnong, and recaptured Chang'an. With such achievements, what happened to Guanyu?"
"Your Majesty!" Seeing Liu Cong's anger, Wang Zhang did not show any weakness and persuaded with the intention of admonishing him: "Since this year, Your Majesty has ignored political affairs and committed many killings, which has caused resentment both at home and abroad. If this continues, the foundation created by the late Emperor will be lost."
Destroyed."
Liu Cong's eyes widened and he was furious.
In the past few months this year, he has indeed killed many people.
The troops besieging Jinyang had been defeated. Tuoba Xianbei intervened and attacked Liu Kun from both inside and outside. Bu Jue was defeated first, and Jin Chong killed him. He gathered the defeated troops and retreated slowly. Liu Cong was furious after hearing this, and sent envoys to control the situation, and Jin Chong was good at killing.
The general will behead him.
Later, because he refused to offer fish and crabs, he beheaded Liu Xin, the king of Xiangling, who was the water envoy of Zuodu.
After Wen Ming's death, the Huiguang Palace and the Second Hall were not completed, so he cut off the general and became a great craftsman, looking for Duke Jinling.
All this is so scary.
Today, Wang Zhang contradicted him again. Liu Cong happened to drink some wine, and his anger could no longer be suppressed.
However, Wang Zhang was still chattering there: "I advise your Majesty to go to practice cultivation instead, it will be a great blessing!"
"Come here!" Liu Cong shouted.
The guards immediately stepped forward.
"Behead this old guy!" Liu Cong pointed at Wang Zhang and said.
"As ordered." The guard stepped forward and grabbed Wang Zhang's arm, intending to drag him away.
Wang Zhang did not resist and just cried silently.
"Your Majesty!" A woman suddenly rushed out of the tent. When she came to Liu Cong, she knelt down directly, hugged his legs, and cried: "Please forgive my father!"
After saying that, his head banged on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
Liu Cong took a look and saw that it was the palace lady Wang.
Mrs. Wang was still kowtowing and begging.
Liu Cong looked at the father and daughter intently.
After a long time, he snorted coldly and said: "Let Wang Zhang be imprisoned first."
"As ordered." The guard escorted Wang Zhang away, but his movements were much gentler.
"Disappointment! Go back to the palace!" Liu Cong stopped watching the fishing, got on the carriage directly, and ordered to go back to the palace.
The downpour fell quickly.
The convoy and horse team trudged forward in the heavy rain and returned to Pingyang early the next morning.
As soon as they entered the city, Zhonghuangmen came to report: The Queen Mother has not eaten for three days.
Liu Cong originally wanted to see the Queen Mother, but he heard a report from Zhonghuangmen: "The Queen Mother does not want to see her because Her Majesty is too prolific in killing people."
Liu Cong was furious when he heard this. He flicked his sleeves and returned to the main hall.
Not long after I sat down, the miserable Zhonghuangmen came again.
"Do you want to die?" Liu Cong looked at Zhonghuang Gate angrily.
If this guy hadn't always been diligent and diligent, I would have killed him with one sword just now.
"Your Majesty." Zhong Huangmen's body was trembling slightly, but he still reported: "Brother of the Emperor, the King of Hanoi carried the coffin outside the palace and said that he wanted to die."
Liu Cong sneered and said, "You can't wait to die?"
Zhonghuangmen murmured twice, but stopped talking.
"What else is there? Let me finish it in one breath so that I can send you down as soon as possible." Liu Cong slapped the table and said angrily.
"Your Majesty." Zhonghuangmen gritted his teeth and said, "The Grand Prix, Taibao and other ministers, as well as more than a hundred princes, are all outside the palace..."
Liu Cong stopped laughing, or rather couldn't laugh.
There are more than a hundred ministers and princes, including almost most of the high-ranking officials in the court, tribal leaders, and generals in the army. Liu Cong still has a good idea of ​​what these people represent.
Liu Cong was silent for a long time, and the expression on his face was very exciting, almost like a face-changing stunt.
Zhonghuangmen lowered his head and waited quietly.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He knew His Majesty too well. He would not retaliate on the spot if he had any hatred, and would vent his anger immediately. The fact that he was still silent until now only meant that he was afraid.
At the same time, I am somewhat relieved: after all, the foundation established by the late emperor still has loyal ministers to maintain it.
"Go and get the silk quickly." Liu Cong whispered, and then left the palace gate.
The first thing I saw was the emperor's brother Liu Yi and the King of Hanoi Liu Can.
The two of them knelt on the ground, followed by a large group of people in darkness.
Liu Cong's heart suddenly flashed, and he said loudly: "You and others are all members of the country, how can we do this? Get up quickly."
After that, he personally helped up the emperor's brother Liu Yi, King Liu Can of Hanoi, Grand Prime Minister Liu Yannian, Taibao Liu Yin and others.
Liu Yin and others did not just let it go, but took off the crowns on their heads and cried: "Your Majesty has great merits and virtues, and is unparalleled in the world. But just now, he has been beheading the prince for a small amount of non-compliance and bluntly disobeyed the decree."
, the general was imprisoned suddenly. The theft of this minister and others has not been solved, so I am worried about him and forget to sleep and eat."
After Liu Cong was silent for a moment, he put on a face of shame and said: "I was very drunk yesterday. What I said and what I did was not my intention. Fortunately, I have a minister who stabbed me in the face. I have heard it.
However, I hope you and others will not take it personally and continue to work hard on state affairs, and I will be rich and noble with you and others in the future."
When Liu Yin heard this, a happy smile appeared on his face.
This old man who contributed six daughters and granddaughters to Liu Cong wiped his tears and said: "Your Majesty will change it after hearing it. This is the ancient sage."
"In the past, you were the emperor of Tang Dynasty, and now you are your majesty. You are the sage king of ancient times." All the ministers also praised him one after another.
Liu Cong's face returned to rosy.
It happened that at this time, Zhonghuangmen brought someone with silk and said: "I have to reward you for your concern about state affairs. Now I will give you a hundred pieces of silk to appease your desire to serve the country."
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness." All the ministers said in unison.
Liu Cong smiled and said: "Everyone, get up."
After saying that, he added: "I am deeply ashamed of what happened to Wang Qing (Wang Zhang). Taige can send his servants to pardon the general of the Chinese army. You can say to him, 'The late emperor relies on you like his right and left hands. You will be reborn with honors. I will Do you dare to forget it? I am wrong about this matter, and I wish you nothing. From now on, you should directly attack me and don't worry about it. 'Well, I will be promoted to Wang Qing as a hussar general, and I will be appointed as the Duke of Xiangjun."
"Your Majesty is wise," the ministers congratulated.
After finally dealing with the courtiers, Liu Cong sat back behind the Dragon Case with a hesitant look on his face.
After a long time, a sigh came from the empty palace room.
Even the emperor cannot really be willful.
He is still an emperor with many military exploits, but he cannot do whatever he wants, let alone the next generation.
After opening the memorials from various places that had been covered in dust for many days, he read patiently for a long time.
Liu Yao actually asked for reinforcements again!
The single expedition brought more than 10,000 reinforcements, but it still couldn't be won. There were more than 30,000 infantry and cavalry at the front and rear, but they couldn't win against the Jin army with less than 60,000 infantry and cavalry. What kind of battle was this?
Liu Cong was frustrated and wanted to write some words of rebuke, but when he thought of the scene where the ministers had just come to remonstrate, he couldn't hold it back.
After throwing this memorial aside, he turned over another one.
Shi Chao fought with Wang Jun and was killed by an arrow. Anping was captured by Jun.
Damn it, another defeat!
Liu Congti wrote a bunch of notes with a brush, to the effect that he sent Zhenyuan General Liang Fuzun to march eastward to attack Wang Jun with Shi Le.
Duan Bu Xianbei had just been taught a lesson by Murong Xianbei for a while, and he probably didn't have enough time to support Wang Jun. As for the Wuhuan people, it was possible, but their combat power was just that.
There is no serious problem with these two troops attacking Wang Jun. But if they can't do it, they can squeeze out a few more soldiers and horses, and Wang Jun will definitely be wiped out, so as not to keep jumping around in the rear and making people sick.
After reviewing this copy, he opened the third copy and was stunned after reading it roughly.
Sanzhu!
What are the people of Jin doing? Will building the floating bridge make it easier for our Han soldiers to march south to Luoyang?
Of course this is impossible.
Liu Cong thought about it and felt that there was only one possibility: the Jin people wanted to block Mengjin and prevent the heavenly troops from going south.
Moreover, now we are only building pontoon bridges between the south bank and Hezhu. In the future, will we build bridges and build cities in the Zhamati area on the north bank?
This is to take the initiative to attack the big man!
Liu Cong could hardly remember the last time the Jin army took the initiative to attack. It felt like it was before Sima Yue's death.
One time was the Battle of Changping, where he personally led an army to attack and annihilated more than 30,000 Jin soldiers.
One time was the Battle of Dayang, where they killed Jin generals Cao Wu and Peng Mo, and captured and killed more than 20,000 people.
After defeating these two Jin offensives, Luoyang only had to defend.
Only a few years have passed? Do you want to attack the big man again?
Could it be that the forced retreat of the Wang Division in Gaoping last year gave them unrealistic illusions?
"Password, I am going to Hanoi for inspection." Liu Cong slapped the table and ordered.
He had a vague hunch that he might see that person this time.
The man who punched him hard when he was conquering cities and territories and at the height of the sun.
(Use the guaranteed monthly ticket to slap me in the face. Be more energetic. If you’re excited, I’ll do another chapter in the afternoon.)
