Outside Daxing City, there is the Youxiao Guard Camp.
The military camp was very quiet at night. Except for the night watch soldiers, most of them were fast asleep, but the camp commander's light was still on.
King Qi was reading the briefing from the Ministry of War. He couldn't sleep. His eldest brother had won another battle. The confused old man was paying less and less attention to him now. The salary of the Ministry of War had not come down yet, and he was already stretched. Forging swords
On the other side of the mountain, I'm afraid a son-in-law who will ride a dragon has already been chosen.
There were many things, but none of them made him happy.
"Yugou, do you think the old man is getting more and more confused? Chen Jian defeated a group of mud-legged people, but the old man used it to publicize it."
King Qi no longer regarded Shentu Yugou as an outsider, and he could say whatever he wanted in front of her without any scruples.
I saw Shentu Yugou smiling slightly, with shallow dimples, very beautiful and charming.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is old, and the Crown Prince will return to Daxing in a while. I'm afraid..."
Shentu Jade Hook, he wanted to speak but stopped.
King Qi raised his head, looked at Shentu Yugou and frowned, "What are you afraid of? Just tell me."
"When the prince returns to the imperial city, I'm afraid that he will take advantage of the emperor's confusion to deceive the emperor into passing the throne to him. I think that after the prince comes back, the prince should not stay in the army. He should return to the palace so that he can be at the emperor's house at any time.
Please show your filial piety as a son of man."
"Perhaps, the prince should return to the city tomorrow to see His Majesty. Maybe the Holy One will ask the Emperor if he is happy..."
Shentu Yugou didn't say the next words, but King Qi knew what she wanted to say.
King Qi frowned and said: "I don't want to do that before we get to that point. Even if Chen Jian persuades the old man, I can still find a way to prevent the imperial edict from leaving the palace. You know, Li Fuguo's old dog is dead."
When Shentu Yugou saw that King Qi still didn't intend to show off, he couldn't help but frowned and said: "Peng Geng is too square and doesn't know how to adapt. If your Majesty..."
King Qi waved his hand and said: "The prince's left and right Yi guards are in the three counties. Peng Gengqie only has Jinwu guards. I hold half of the twelve guards. I can hold up the sky even if it falls."
"Military God..."
King Qi looked at Shentu Yugou and smiled and said: "If the old man, the God of War, is alive, he will stand by my side. If the old man goes away one day, then the twelve guards will fall into my hands. I just want to be honest, and I don't want anyone to
Talking behind your back."
Shentu Yugou knew that King Qi still couldn't make up his mind to force the old emperor to abdicate. Then it would seem that he had ulterior motives if he wasted his words on this matter again.
I saw Shentu Yugou smiling and saying: "Your Majesty has the pearl of wisdom in his hands, and he will definitely achieve great treasures..."
King Qi raised his lips slightly: "The old fool thought that by leaving me the right guard and building momentum for Chen Jian, my influence in the army could be weakened. It seems that he is really old."
"In the army of the Qian Dynasty, Peng Gengqie is good at defense, and King Qi is good at offense. Everyone knows it, and everyone doesn't know it. By winning two battles with Nangong Guard, Chen Jian is a serious soldier. Ridiculous, ridiculous..."
After all, the vision of young people is a bit poor, no matter whether it is the King of Qi or the prince. They focus on the three-acre area of Daxing City, but they fail to see that the world's structure is no longer what it used to be.
Tianxia City occupies the territory of Shu, with no less than 100,000 elite soldiers, and many masters. The Tuoba family controls the Jiangnan area, and its tentacles have extended to Ruyin. The counties of Daqian are controlled by aristocratic families, waiting for the military god
When the old man passes away, everyone must carry the banner and do the disobedient things.
Military God's Mansion, Lotus Pond.
Military God has been fishing for half a day, but the fish basket is empty, not even a small fish has been caught.
I saw that the old man's face was very ugly. He dragged out the fish basket on the side and said angrily: "I'm unconscious. I won't fish anymore. Go back and eat fish."
"Hey! Hey! What are you doing? If you don't fish, you won't fish. Why are you dragging my fish basket? I caught a dozen big fish, and I will let my wife stew them later."
Peng Gengqie stood up quickly and took back the fish basket.
The God of War pinched his waist and said, "Why are you becoming more and more unreasonable? You catch my fish in my pond, and you take it home to eat. I think it's not the city you're good at guarding, but the fish."
"What are you talking about? Everyone fishes according to their ability. If you can't catch it, who will blame you? Look, I'm hooked again."
Peng Gengqie beamed with joy and caught another big fish...
As the weather gets warmer, Peng Gengqie comes to chat and fish with the Army God from time to time, but the Army God's luck has been bad recently.
Zu Buqi failed to enter the academy, but he did not return to the army. He had been accompanying the old man for more than a year. Seeing this, he hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Lunch is ready, two big fish, one steamed, one braised..."
But he saw the military god pulling Zu Buqi away, glaring at Peng Gengqie and saying, "If you don't give it to him, if you want to eat, just eat from his fish basket."
Zu Buqi hurriedly said: "Ancestor, that fish is from General Peng's fish basket. Bu Qi took it out half an hour ago. You forgot."
Military God frowned and said, "Really? Why don't I remember this?"
Hearing this, Peng Gengqie sighed slightly. The military god who once stamped his feet would make the world tremble, but he also had a day when he became an old fool.
In the past six months, the military god has been sometimes sober and sometimes confused. Even the people in Daxing City know that the old man's time is running out.
At the dinner table, the military god drank a large bowl of old wine and became clear-headed again.
"Gengqie, tell me which prince you support."
Peng Gengqie, who had already avoided drinking, always had a few sips with the Army God. When he saw him, he put down the wine bowl in his hand, looked at the Army God and shook his head.
"Old general, I forgive Gengqie for being disrespectful. Gengqie doesn't like the prince or the King of Qi. It would be a good choice if they become one person."
The military god smiled and said: "Gengqie is optimistic about King Jin."
Peng Gengche shook his head and said: "Stand at the last post. This is all Gengche can do."
The Military God sighed: "Gengqie, are you so unoptimistic about Daqian's future? Maybe there will be a turn for the better by the end of the year, but I don't know for sure."
Peng Gengqie said nothing, just picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
For Peng Gengqie, today's Hongdao Emperor is no more sober than the old man in front of him. Both princes have gone to war for the throne, and the other is hiding in the academy. What better chance can there be for Da Qian? What can the old man in front of him do? There are two things to say about not being able to survive this year.
The military god saw that the old boy opposite was just drinking and keeping silent, but he felt bad in his heart. They were all old and no longer had the fearlessness they had when they were young.
"Gengqie, promise me, don't give up yet. No matter what happens, we'll talk about it after the New Year."
Peng Gengqie nodded and sighed: "I have listened to you all my life, and this year is not the last time."
Many things can happen in a year. For Tuoba Jiong, as long as he waits until the last autumn, the Silla Kingdom will have a steady stream of food and grass coming by boat. At that time, as long as the military god dies, Daqian will breathe his last breath. The Tuoba family's black-armored army can sweep across the world.
Jiangning City, the old residence of the Tuoba family.
King Bao Yan put on his helmet and carried his armor, held his sword in his hand, and personally stood guard outside the study. Ye Fangshan came back today, which was agreed upon before.
The weather after entering the ambush was very hot, and Ye Fangshan's head was covered with sweat when he walked in.
Tuoba Jiong stood up in person and took Ye Fangshan's hand, saying: "Fangshan, don't rely on the efficacy of longevity pills and not take your body and bones seriously. Seeing that big things are about to happen, you, the military marshal, can't get sick.
"Ye Fangshan smiled slightly: "I was in a hurry, but it made my father laugh."
Saying that, Ye Fangshan asked straight to the point: "Is there any news from Daxing?"
Tuoba Jiong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not easy to come back, but when we meet, we won't even let you talk about common things."
Ye Fangshan sighed helplessly: "There is no hurry. The little girl from the Tantai family has started to make trouble again. With the accurate news from Daxing, I want to move to Xuanhu City."
Tuoba Jiong nodded and said: "The military god is sometimes sober and sometimes confused. It seems that the end is approaching."
"I'm confused, I'm confused. This time I go back and I'm going to take action. We can't wait for the death of the military god to take action. We have to get ahead of the Li Gang and the army will be prosperous."
Tuoba Jiong frowned and said: "The Twelve Guards are still capable of fighting. If we move here first, wouldn't it be an advantage to those guys from the Li Gang?"
Ye Fangshan smiled and said: "One move can affect the whole body. As soon as we move, Li Gang wants to endure it but can't. There will definitely be a fierce battle in Daxing City. I want the military god to use some of his residual heat. It's best to take Li Gang away."
Help one or two people."
Tuoba Jiong nodded and said with a smile: "To seek skin from a tiger, you need to be more ruthless. Then follow Fang Shan's wishes. My father will personally go to Silla to see if they can send troops to cooperate.
"
The Great Qian Dynasty is now in a mess. It is difficult to distinguish between friends and foes internally, but some foreign and small countries outside are not honest. Fortunately, the Tiemo Le clan has been defeated, otherwise the world will no longer be ruled by the Han people.
The Li Gang's big game was planned decades ago, so how could an accident happen?
In the small town closest to Famen Temple, there is a large family of the Jiang family. At noon, there are loud gongs and drums and firecrackers blasting in front of the gate, making it very lively.
There were dozens of tables set up in the courtyard, and people with dignity from all over the country were invited.
Today, the old man of the Jiang family is very happy. Of course, the old man is already seventy-three, and he is powerless to take concubines. Moreover, this age is just on the threshold, and it is definitely not a birthday celebration.
There is only one reason for the big banquet. The official title document that the old man bought for five hundred taels of silver has arrived. Now I have to respect the master.
Emperor Hongdao was selling his officials like crazy. As long as he was willing to pay money, he would give it to officials, especially foreign officials.
Nowadays, foreign officials are no longer on the streets. They just have official status in the imperial court. But for big families who can't get the honors, it's money well spent. In the future, you don't have to kneel when you meet officials, and it will be more convenient to do things.
Emperor Hongdao didn't care about the officials, but many people cared about them. Especially for the Li Gang, this casual official was very useful. Although the big bosses in the past had appeal, they had an unjustified reputation. Now it's different. With an official status,
When the time comes, the ignorant people will not obey and follow the officials to make a fortune.
In a secluded room at the back of Jiang's wife's house, two people were sitting in front of the table.
A gentle middle-aged scholar, an old man with white eyebrows and red eyes...
