Shuangji angrily smashed his favorite porcelain tea cup on the ground. Shuangzhe, who was sitting at the top, jumped up from his seat in fright and said in horror: "My son, why is this? Venting out anger cannot solve the problem.
.”
Shuangzhe is Shuangji's father.
After Shuang Ji became successful in Goryeo, Shuangzhe happily found Goryeo, defected to his son, and worshiped Zuo Cheng, which was regarded as a good job.
Shuangzhe thought that since his son was a high-ranking official, he would enjoy peace and happiness.
But they didn't expect that the political scene in Goryeo was very dangerous. Their founding heroes and local powerful people controlled most of Goryeo's power.
Wang Zhao, the king of Goryeo, used his son Shuang Ji as an ax to strengthen his royal power and offended the founders of Goryeo and local wealthy families.
As Zuo Cheng, he was walking on thin ice and was often criticized inexplicably. He was far less comfortable than the Central Plains. But fortunately, the strength of the Han ministers was not weak. Cai Renfan from Quanzhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wang Rong from Wuyue Kingdom, with the support of Wang Zhao
Next, a considerable force was formed.
However, with the invasion of Khitan and Japanese countries, Shuangzhe realized that the situation was not good, and the support of Goryeo King Wang Zhao for them was far less than before.
A few days ago, Wang Rong was directly imprisoned by a wealthy family on charges of collaborating with the enemy.
Wang Zhao ignored this.
Shuang Zhe understands that if the world is at peace, Wang Zhao needs them to deal with the nobles and powerful people and strengthen the royal power. But now during the war, the royal power has been decentralized, and Goryeo needs the noble people to fight against foreign enemies.
This time, that time.
In today's crisis-ridden court, their Han Chinese Party is no longer the one that can show off its power and influence the situation.
Keeping a low profile and hiding is the only way.
Shuangzhe's ability is not as good as his son Shuangji's, but his mood in reading is far better than his. When he sees his son losing control of his emotions, he quickly warns him.
Shuangji glanced at his father, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "My child has felt something is wrong these days, always feeling that there is something hidden. Just received the news, Chen Chuyao and Jiang Gongzhen led the prince out of the palace at night.
Beijing."
Shuangzhe's expression changed drastically and he exclaimed: "There are enemies all around, where can they go?"
Shuangji said with a gloomy face: "Goryeo is very mountainous, where can't we go? Your Majesty intends to leave a seed for Goryeo for the purpose of restoring the country in the future."
Thinking of this, he became more and more angry and roared: "Why did Your Majesty choose Chen Chuyao and not me Shuangji? In what way is my Shuangji inferior to Chen Chuyao? Why was the only way to survive given to him and not me?"
"
Shuangzhe shook his head slightly: "In order to consolidate the royal power, you have completely offended the noble family. If the prince is really entrusted to you, who is willing to listen to your orders?"
Shuangji actually understood this truth, but he was unwilling to do so.
He was originally an inspector and general of the Wusheng Army of the Later Zhou Dynasty. He tried to judge affairs in Dali, and was ordered to serve in Korea. In the end, he did not hesitate to abandon the Central Plains and join Korea, just to gain fame and fame, and to let the world know that his ambitions were not as good as those of Fan Zhi.
Wang Pu and Wei Renpu were inferior, it was just that the emperor of the Central Plains did not recognize talents and did not know how to use them.
Now he is trapped in Kaijing waiting to die?
Shuang Ji is unwilling to give up.
Especially in the past six months, when the situation in Goryeo was in crisis, Shuangji clearly felt Wang Zhao's alienation from him.
When you need yourself, you lift yourself up to the sky, but now you need the nobles and heroes to resist foreign enemies, and you trample yourself on the ground again.
Thinking about Wang Rong's fate and Chen Chuyao's departure.
A trace of resentment flashed in Shuangji's eyes, "If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
Open the military camp outside the capital.
Anmohe knelt on the ground and begged Brother Yelvxiu for his sins.
"The general was incompetent and allowed the thief to escape."
Brother Yelvxiu frowned and said, "How many people are there on the other side?"
Anmohe said: "There were about three hundred people. They were very familiar with the terrain. They left a hundred dead soldiers behind and then disappeared. The one hundred dead soldiers didn't buy them much time, but they couldn't be found."
"
Brother Yelvxiu said: "This matter is not your fault. Kaicheng is built on a mountain, and the terrain is complex. It is really difficult for more than a hundred people to search. We are surrounded by three and one is missing. A small group of thieves break through the gap. It is indeed difficult to intercept. Go down!"
"
Anmohe glanced at Brother Yelvxiu gratefully and left.
Han Kuangsi shook his head and said, "You are so talkative."
Brother Yelvxiu smiled indifferently and ignored him.
Everyone's military management style is different, and the results are also different.
Brother Yelvxiu was a humble man with noble virtues. Historically, he stationed troops in Youzhou. Although he was hostile to the Song Dynasty, he never violated the Song Dynasty and the people of the Song Dynasty. If the people of the Song Dynasty accidentally crossed the border, he would send people back. He was very tolerant of soldiers.
When he performed meritorious deeds, he often gave them to his subordinates, so that he was so grateful that his superiors and subordinates were willing to die for him.
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Han Kuangsi changed the subject and said, "Guess who ran away?"
Brother Yelvxiu shook his head and said, "I don't know, but Kaicheng won't last long."
Kaesong was the capital of Goryeo, and those who guarded the city gates were all trusted generals. Being able to allow these trusted generals to pass through Kaesong must have a high status.
It is enough to show that the morale in the city has reached rock bottom.
The next day, they learned that the person who left last night was actually the Crown Prince of Korea.
Brother Yelvxiu, Han Kuangsi was upset, but he also understood one thing, it would be impossible to leave Beijing soon.
Just as the two of them thought, not only Shuangji, but also many nobles in Kaijing City had other ideas.
For the sake of royal power, Wang Zhao used Shuangji to suppress the nobles and powerful men. The past events are still vivid in his mind.
Now that the crisis is coming, knowing the benefits of their noble power, they bow to them. If it were a peaceful era, they would still think this was a victory, but now Wang Zhao bows his head because he wants them to be buried with Goryeo.
The noble and powerful man is not an idiot, so who will buy it?
Especially the news about Chen Chuyao and Jiang Gongzhen leading the prince Wang Min spread.
The situation that was barely maintained began to get out of control. Even Wang Zhao, the king, began to arrange backup plans and lacked the confidence to win decisively. Naturally, the same goes for others.
On the tenth day after Chen Chuyao and Jiang Gongzhen broke through the siege, a fire broke out in a house in Kaicheng. The former Prime Minister Zuocheng persuaded the nobles to trick him into opening the north gate of Kaicheng.
The Khitan soldiers, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed into Kaijing.
King Wang Zhao of Goryeo, who had long lost his popularity, stood in the palace on the top of the mountain, watching thousands of torches pouring towards the palace, and his ambition turned into a ball of flames.
The moment he learned that the Khitan soldiers had entered the city, he had already ordered people to place kerosene wood everywhere in the palace and bury it in the fire together with the palace.
Brother Yeluxiu personally came outside the palace, looked at the fire in front of him that had not taken advantage of the situation, and ordered: "Tuwu, try your best to put out the fire! Hu Shenjun sent people to appease the people in the city, and all those in Alsa who took advantage of the chaos to disturb the people will be captured."
After capturing the most prosperous capital of Goryeo, Brother Yelvxiu did not loot or cause random killings. Instead, he sent generals to appease the people and maintain order.
It is recorded in the history books that Brother Yelvxiu "went through hundreds of battles and never killed an innocent person." This statement may be overly flattering, but it can also prove that Brother Yelvxiu's moral character is indeed very good.
Brother Yelvxiu stood on a high place and looked at the majestic Kaesong. He was quite emotional. He initially thought that Kaesong was extremely difficult to conquer, but after learning about the chaos within the Goryeo court, he realized that Goryeo was just a grasshopper after the autumn.
As expected, there is much help in the right way, but little help in the wrong way.
He suddenly thought of Luo Youdu in the Central Plains.
The arrival of Han Kuangsi this time brought him a lot of news from the Central Plains. Among them was the news that the Forbidden Army went north to regulate the Yellow River, which touched him a lot. He sighed secretly: "It all shows that the Lord is hard to find, and it is difficult to find someone in troubled times.
It’s a big pity for the two masters of the Ming Dynasty.”
He looked at the foot of the mountain, his expression suddenly stunned, and wherever he looked, there was a sea of fire.
Is that the south direction of the city?
The south of the city was the direction that Japan was responsible for.
Is it possible that there is still resistance in the city?
Brother Yelvxiu had no time to think too much, so he shouted and led his soldiers to the south of the city.
As soon as Fang arrived at the south of the city, he saw that the general Arsa he had arranged before was leading his troops to confront the Japanese troops.
The two were at war with each other, one speaking Khitan and the other speaking Japanese.
Chirping and croaking, I have no idea what's going on.
However, the atmosphere between them was tense and there were strong signs of taking action.
"what happened?"
Brother Yelvxiu came nearby and asked.
Artha shouted in Khitan: "Master Tiyin, they looted and detained Hu Shenjun."
It turned out that brother Yelvxiu broke through the north gate and entered, and the news spread to the south gate.
When the guard at the south gate learned that the situation was approaching, he fled in a hurry.
The Japanese were able to seize the opportunity to enter the city.
The Japanese people are murderous and have a wolfish heart. In addition, the coastal areas have been bullied by Goryeo in recent years, and new and old hatreds are mixed together.
After entering the city, they broke down the houses and plundered them. Whether they killed the people in the city or not depended on their mood. Those who were a little bit pretty were raped and humiliated by many people. They pushed forward all the way. They behaved like animals, just like Yelvxiu.
The Khitan army led by my brother was in sharp contrast.
Hu Canjun's name is Hu Yi, a talent hand-picked by Brother Yelvxiu. He was a businessman in his early years. He is proficient in many languages and understands Silla language. He has been responsible for appeasing the local people.
He learned about the beastly behavior of the Japanese people and immediately came to stop it.
But people with dirty thoughts always think that others think as badly as themselves.
When the Japanese general Ju Haogu saw Hu Yi blocking him, he thought that Hu Yi was a woman who wanted to monopolize Kaijing's treasure, so he got angry and detained him.
This also led to a confrontation between the two sides.
Compared with the well-equipped Khitan army, Ju Haogu had mostly peasant soldiers except for his bodyguards who used leather and bamboo armor to defend themselves.
There was a big difference in strength, and Ju Haogu didn't dare to take action rashly.
Arsa, on the other hand, was bound by military discipline and did not dare to rob people, so they confronted each other.
Master Fujiwara also got the news at this moment and hurried over.
Accompanying him were the detained Hu Yi and ten Khitan guards.
Master Fujiwara had already learned the whole story and felt that Brother Yelvxiu was planning to monopolize the wealth of Kaijing, so he put him down first to calm down.
Brother Yelvxiu also asked Alsa to take five steps back and take back his weapon.
Hu Yi's eyes were blank and his body was trembling slightly. He saw a lot of eye-catching scenes from behind and was so frightened that he lost his mind.
The Khitan guard also looked a little ugly.
Shisuke Fujiwara shouted angrily: "You Khitans do not keep your word, you are extremely shameless."
The language he spoke was naturally Chinese, and within the scope of Chinese radiation, no matter how many languages there were.
Chinese is the only common language, not one of them.
A trace of anger flashed in Brother Yelvxiu's eyes. Although he didn't know what happened in the south of the city, he felt relieved when he looked at the flames soaring into the sky in the distance.
It was true that he had never read about massacres and looting in books, but it was hard for him to accept it happening before his eyes.
Moreover, Goryeo did not resist fiercely, and the Japanese participated in the siege for only a few months.
They had no siege equipment and did not participate in the siege. There were almost no casualties.
The Khitan side also informed them in advance that Kaicheng would be given to them free of charge to show the friendship between the two countries and to jointly fight against the enemy.
Sooner or later, Kaicheng belonged to the Japanese country.
Brother Yelvxiu really can't understand why they still do such evil things under this situation.
Taking a deep breath, Brother Yelvxiu said: "The Khitan people keep their word, and Kaicheng will be handed over to you. Before handing it over, the commander here has the final say!"
"Come here! Guard along the street. Anyone who dares to break through will be shot to death!"
He didn't want to talk to Shisuke Fujiwara and turned around and left.
However, for the sake of the overall situation, Brother Yeluxiu sent someone to invite Han Kuangsi to negotiate.
He really didn't want to talk to the Japanese people.
Brother Yelvxiu came to the top of the mountain in a depressed mood. At this time, the fire on the top of the mountain had gradually dissipated.
It is early spring now. The climate in Haidong Peninsula is humid, and the wind on the top of the mountain is strong. Due to climate reasons, the wind carries moisture, which does not contribute to the spread of the fire. In addition, the city built on the mountain has already put a lot of effort into fire prevention.
The reason was that the fire in the Goryeo Palace did not spread and was quickly brought under control.
"Lord Tiyin! There is a Han official asking to see..."
Brother Yelvxiu cheered up and said, "Let him come up."
Yin Shenzheng held his head high and his chest high, with a resolute look on his face. He strode up to Brother Yelvxiu, bowed respectfully and said, "I have seen the general, Yin Shenzheng, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy!"
Brother Yelvxiu asked, "What's the matter with you?"
Yin Shenzheng said: "I would like to offer you some advice for the general. Goryeo has been destroyed, and your country wants long-term peace and stability. To avoid delay, the priority is to bring peace to the people. Wang Zhao once implemented the 'slave-servant inspection method', which won the hearts of the people. If the general is willing to accept Wang Zhao's burial
Burying the bones in a grand manner will calm the hearts of the people of Goryeo and will be of great benefit to the general's expedition."
Brother Yelvxiu saw what he meant and said, "Sir, do you want to collect Wang Zhao's body?"
Yin Shenzheng was a little embarrassed, and bowed again: "The general clearly knows this, but he has this intention. Your Majesty will stay with you, and you don't want his body to be left without anyone to mourn him. What I said is absolutely not false. If the general can be buried,
Your Majesty, there is only a hundred benefits and no harm."
Yin Shenzheng was sleeping in his house. When he learned that the Khitan soldiers had entered the city, he trembled with fear and hid in a well in fear.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
But as time passed, Yin Shenzheng found that no one was disturbing him.
Although he couldn't believe it, Yin Shenzheng realized that he had met a benevolent teacher of the Khitan.
What a treacherous minister like Yin Shenzheng is best at is charming.
This general who commanded the army of benevolent men must be a man of benevolence and loyalty. Yin Shenzheng plucked up the courage to ask for an audience and collected Wang Zhao's body to reflect his noble character.
Brother Yelvxiu glanced at Yin Shenzheng and said, "Wait a moment, the fire has not been completely extinguished! Once everything is clear, I will ask someone to help you and bury Wang Zhao's body together."
Yin Shenzheng's heart dropped to the ground, and he bowed his head and said, "Thank you, General."
Brother Yelvxiu asked: "Aren't you from Korea, sir?"
Yin Shenzheng said: "The general has good eyesight. I am a native of Bingzhou. My father followed the great ancestor of Shu to Shu and settled in Shu. After the destruction of Shu, he wandered here with his friends. He originally wanted to invest in Qidan, but his Majesty invited him again and again. I am grateful for the kindness of knowing him.
