Zhongqing City, Yun State, in the imperial palace.
Although it is late at night, today is the New Year's Eve watch, and the palace at this time is even more festive than usual, with lights and colors everywhere.
As soon as Zishi arrived, which was the New Year, I heard the clear jade bell ringing leisurely on the tower of the imperial city.
The palace attendants who had been prepared immediately held up lanterns and walked around the palace, shouting congratulations and saying:
"The Yuan Dynasty was just starting from the beginning, and all things were new. I accepted the time and rested with the sky."
The second year of Zhaosheng has arrived!
"Yuanzhengling Festival is a great celebration. I wish you a long life of ten million years."
Xiao Cheng heard the movement outside the hall and raised his head slightly.
Feng Bao on the side quickly handed over the brush and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, please open the imperial pen!"
With the increasing national power, the Dayun Kingdom has gradually revealed its ambition to take over the Central Plains.
Therefore, in order to legitimately send troops to the Central Plains in the future, the DPRK has already begun to establish the orthodox status of the Yun Kingdom.
One of the most important manifestations is that the Ministry of Rites began to be responsible for the study and implementation of various complicated etiquette systems to show that the Xiao family of the Dayun Kingdom was from the Central Plains and inherited the Central Plains civilization. The Dayun Kingdom followed the Central Plains
etiquette.
There are some inexplicable extra etiquettes during the New Year this year. I don’t know which official from the Ministry of Etiquette came up with it.
Xiao Cheng didn't think that relying on some cumbersome etiquette that was said to pay attention to ancient books and ancient systems, but was indeed dispensable, could have much effect.
But it’s the New Year after all, and he doesn’t mind getting lucky!
He casually took the imperial pen handed over by Feng Bao and wrote in large strokes on the paper he had prepared.
"The oceans and rivers are clear, and all the surnames are at peace. Follow wherever you go, and the dust around you will rest forever."
The title is neither beautiful nor ugly, but it steadily performs at the level of "Literature: 47".
But perhaps because he is on the throne of the emperor and has the ambition to rule the world and sweep the world away, Xiao Cheng's handwriting has an air of an emperor who dominates the world and is domineering.
The congratulatory message written casually, "I will follow you wherever you go, and I will live forever" unabashedly revealed Xiao Cheng's great achievements in his heart!
After admiring the congratulatory message he wrote casually, Xiao Cheng suddenly moved his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"What I ordered before,
Although most of the people mobilized are from the stick-stick department, after all, you are in charge of the Dongchang, so tell me how it goes!"
When Feng Bao heard this, he quickly bowed and replied:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I don't dare to neglect you! Since being ordered, Guard Guo Duyi and your servant have cooperated tacitly, and all the people are in place. If there is no problem with the plan, we should have started taking action by now!"
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he nodded slightly and continued without looking back:
"Don't be careless on Li Chao's side! Keep an eye on your troops."
"yes!"
When Xiao Cheng said this, he suddenly looked at Feng Bao and said with a smile:
"This year, what's going on? Is it someone else's fault?"
When Feng Bao heard this, his eyebrows lit up and he quickly bowed and said:
"Serving your Majesty is already a great honor for me. I dare not expect anything else..."
When Xiao Cheng heard the words, he responded casually and said indifferently:
"Since you don't want anything, then I won't give it to you!"
With one sentence, Feng Bao's face suddenly froze and he was embarrassed on the spot.
Your Majesty, this is just a courtesy...
Xiao Cheng glanced at Feng Bao, looking half-smiling but not smiling, but said nothing.
When Feng Bao saw this, he could only laugh twice.
"Last year, Xia Guo plotted against me. Although it didn't work out, I was always a little unhappy about this matter. If you can vent your anger for me this time, I am not a stingy person!" Xiao Cheng said solemnly.
.
When Feng Bao heard this, he was immediately shocked and said quickly:
"Someone is so bold and dares to plot against me, Dayun. This time, I have deployed all my elite personnel, and I will definitely punish the person behind this for Your Majesty!"
Xiao Cheng smiled slightly when he heard this.
When everything is updated, you should draw a card!
Thinking of this, with a thought, a huge golden turntable suddenly appeared.
As it rotates, the lights of various colors flow continuously and are extremely dazzling.
On the golden finger panel, the special skill [Manifest Destiny] immediately shines.
In the dark, as Xiao Cheng turned on the turntable, the Yun Kingdom's Golden Dragon of National Fortune entrenched in the sky suddenly sensed and opened its golden dragon eyes.
The vast golden auspicious clouds were rolling continuously at this time, and all kinds of auspicious visions condensed and changed completely. Then they turned into a ray of light and converged directly on Xiao Cheng. The invisible force suddenly pushed the golden turntable to a slow stop.
In an instant, golden light filled his sight.
When Xiao Cheng saw this, the corners of his mouth suddenly curved.
As expected, this skill [Destiny Zhaozhao] can help him in the lottery every time the national fortune improves!
[Golden Cerka, murderous intent from heaven
Card effect: After using it, you can get any kind of tactics
Card description: The sky sends murderous intentions, and the stars move to different places. The earth sends murderous intentions, and dragons and snakes rise from the land. Human beings send murderous intentions, and the heaven and earth turn upside down.]
The effect is simple and crude, and does not have the long-lasting effects of other golden cards.
However, Xiao Cheng still remembers the tactics very clearly
, when I was equipped with the golden emperor card [Overlord of Western Chu - Xiang Yu], I launched the tactics of "breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat", and I was able to directly defeat the 100,000 army that was the last legacy of the Li Dynasty with tens of thousands of improvised mobs.
, and since then the final outcome of the Li Dynasty has been completely established.
So, what strategy should I choose...
Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but touch his chin.
-------------------
At this time, Xia Kingdom was in Jinling City.
It is the day when the old and the new are changing. Compared with Qingcheng, which is like spring all year round, the climate in Jinling City is colder. But even so, it cannot stop the people's enthusiasm for the New Year.
And even though the war in the southwest was unfavorable at this time, it did not have much impact on the people under the rule of the capital. At midnight, the people who stayed up late went out to congratulate each other. There were endless carriages and horses, and there were many vendors, and they were still singing and dancing.
A scene of peace and prosperity.
Compared to the cheerful scenes with lights and colorful decorations in most places, there are several mansions in Jinling City that are dead silent at this time, without any festive atmosphere, and even make people feel extremely depressed.
Most of the street in front of the palace was blocked by officials who came to pay New Year's greetings. New Year's gifts were piled up and laid out in the huge gatehouse in front of the palace.
But this year, after the King of Jin was appointed as the embroidered envoy by Emperor Xia to "attend the palace", as time went by, the officials in the court gradually figured out a little bit about it.
The King of Jin lost power and the court became completely deserted!
King Jin, who was thin, with most of his hair gray, and his face full of desolation, was shutting himself in the study alone, drinking wine bitterly.
The battle for the throne has always been cruel. However, it is foreseeable that although King Jin is destined to be trapped in this palace, he is still alive.
It seems that the result is not bad. But for someone like King Jin, who has experienced the highest scenery, the situation at this time can be regarded as a kind of torture for him!
At this time, I heard a "squeak" and the study door slowly opened.
King Jin frowned, looked at the door with drunken eyes, and scolded:
"This king said that no one is allowed to come in, you..."
Before he finished speaking, several people walked into the study and looked at King Jin.
King Jin was not completely drunk yet, but he suddenly realized something was wrong. He suddenly stirred up his spirit, and most of his drunkenness had disappeared.
Taking a closer look, there were several people standing in the study, including several guards in the mansion, but they all had unfamiliar faces.
King Jin suddenly frowned, stood up and scolded:
"Who are you and why haven't I seen you before?"
The leader bowed slightly to King Jin, cupped his fists and said:
"Dayun Shangyu's backup department, Yiwei Envoy Ju Meng, has met His Highness the King of Jin!"
"Dayun Shangyu's backup place..."
King Jin pondered for a while, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he exclaimed:
"Yun Guo sticks to the pole!"
Ju Meng immediately made a gesture of silence, lowered his voice, and said with a half-smile:
"His Royal Highness Prince Jin, you don't want the embroidered envoys outside to hear the noise!"
King Jin looked at the drama in front of Meng Yi and others, and his heart was full of vigilance.
Thinking of the group of embroiderers waiting outside the courtyard, King Jin subconsciously wanted to shout.
But when the words came to his mouth, looking at Ju Meng who was holding a sharp knife and smiling half-smiling, his throat moved slightly, his voice lowered, and he asked:
"What do you want to do? And how did you get in?"
Ju Meng heard this and said:
"According to the order of my Majesty Dayun, I am here to help His Royal Highness the King of Jin! As for how to get in? The embroiderers are all human beings. It is inevitable that there will be some slack during the New Year!"
Upon hearing this, King Jin frowned immediately.
The men and horses Yu Yingyao transferred to guard her were all capable men among the embroidery envoys. Even if it was the New Year's Day, there was absolutely no chance that there would be any slacking off like what Ju Meng said.
Seeing the disbelief on King Jin's face, Ju Meng had no choice but to explain:
"What my Shang Yu backup department is best at is this infiltration method!"
[Purple Ceka, sticky rod
Card effect: After use... all actions, personnel, and detection rates are reduced by 30%, and the success rate of various tasks is increased by 30%...
Card description: Factory guards in the Qing Dynasty were harsh, even worse than those in the Ming Dynasty...]
After hearing this, King Jin chose to believe this rhetoric. He took a deep breath and said:
"I have no relationship with you in the Yun Kingdom, so I want to help you? What does this mean?"
After hearing this, Ju Meng turned his head and looked at the people around him.
The man next to him took off his hat, revealing his shiny bald head, clasped his hands in front of King Jin, gave a slight salute, and said:
"The poor monk Dao Yan has met His Highness the King of Jin!"
Ju Meng said from the side:
"Perhaps His Highness the King of Jin has never heard of Master Daoyan's name, but Aohou of the Li Dynasty, ah, no! It's me, His Highness King Dayun'an. It was only with the help of Master Daoyan that I was able to reach my current position!"
After hearing this, King Jin frowned and said in confusion:
"Aohou Lihu? Isn't your King An of Yun Kingdom Li Weining? When did he become Li Hu again?"
During this period, King Jin was under house arrest, so he missed these days.
The situation in the world has changed. So when Ju Meng mentioned it, he looked confused.
"Haha, I forgot that His Highness, Prince Jin, is not very well-informed now..."
Before Ju Meng could finish speaking, Dao Yan suddenly interrupted:
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin only needs to know that the poor monk helped King An ascend to the throne!"
When King Jin heard this, his heart suddenly moved. He looked at Dao Yan and said in a deep voice:
"You mean, you are here to help me seize the throne?"
Before Ju Meng and Dao Yan could reply, King Jin suddenly laughed out loud, shook his head and said:
"It's ridiculous! I don't know what your idea is, but I'm not stupid, so I guess it's not a good thing!"
Having said this, King Jin's face became solemn and he said:
"I refuse! If you have nothing else to do, please come back!"
Seeing King Jin's reaction, Ju Meng immediately looked at Dao Yan beside him.
But Dao Yan smiled slightly, with an unsightly smile on his sinister face, and said:
"Your Highness, Prince Jin, is worried that failure will only affect your family?"
Having said this, Dao Yan nodded repeatedly and said:
"It's understandable! I heard that in three months, it will be the birthday ceremony for the little prince and grandson. It is natural for the prince to have concerns!"
When the King of Jin heard this, he responded silently.
Despite the fierce competition between the princes before, each of them seems to be able to influence some of the courtiers, and their power is not small.
But in fact, the power of money, food, troops, and officials in the court had always been firmly in the hands of Emperor Xia.
At this time, the Emperor of Xia had chosen King Yiqi as his heir apparent, and a group of die-hard imperialists in the court, who were just outsiders among the officials, and marginal officials who did not want to fight with the party, still gathered around King Qi, and the situation was established.
Besides, he himself is still under house arrest and has no way to fight against King Qi!
In his opinion, Yun Guo's sticky men came to visit him, and he had no intention of helping him win the position. He just wanted to use his reputation to create something!
Therefore, King Jin at this time was naturally unwilling to risk the lives of his entire family for an inevitable result of defeat.
Seeing this, Dao Yan continued to chuckle and said:
"His Royal Highness, King Jin, you might as well go to our old friend first!"
After saying that, Dao Yan retreated slightly and gave up his position.
The people who came in with Ju Meng all took a step forward, looked up at King Jin, and said in unison:
"Your Highness!"
When King Jin heard the voices of these people, his whole body trembled subconsciously.
Former Imperial Servant, former Chief Executive, former Imperial Censor...
Only then did King Jin suddenly realize that the people who came together were either his former confidants in the court, members of his mother's family, or members of the concubine's natal family. In short, they were all interested in him.
People who are closely connected.
When the King of Jin gained power, these people were naturally majestic and respected by the officials in the court.
But after the King of Jin lost power, these people were either dismissed from their posts and investigated, or were exiled from the capital, and they no longer had the power they once had!
These former confidants of King Jin came to King Jin at this time, their eyes were firm and they gritted their teeth and said:
"Your Highness, please cheer up! Everything has not been settled yet!"
"Please don't be discouraged, Your Highness. I will do my best to protect Your Highness!"
King Jin shook his head slightly, and just when he was about to open his mouth to refuse, he suddenly bumped into a group of his cronies, whose eyes were so hot that they seemed to be able to burn King Jin.
The servant who was half-kind to King Jin, with his gray hair, stepped forward suddenly, grabbed King Jin's hand tightly, stared at King Jin with his eyes, and said word by word:
"Your Highness, please rest assured that Master Daoyan is a great talent and will definitely be able to help you turn things around and achieve great success!"
King Jin panicked and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, saying repeatedly:
"Your Majesty, uukanshu www.uukanshu.com This matter is absolutely unacceptable..."
But in the past, the elegant and gentle servant was holding on to Prince Jin's hand, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Stubborn, crazy, determined...
King Jin felt a lump in his throat and raised his head to look at his other confidants.
I saw that everyone had such a determined expression, their eyes were firm, and they looked at King Jin closely.
After choosing the King of Jin, these people have spent countless manpower, financial and material resources on their way to the throne for more than ten years to firmly bind themselves and their entire families to the King of Jin. At this time, the Jin Dynasty
The king can retreat, but they can't!
King Jin looked at the expressions of his confidants, and his reply was immediately blocked in his throat.
After a long time, it just turned into a silent sigh.
"How do you plan to do it?"
I had never thought about being rewarded by the Silver Alliance before. After all, this book had too many problems. After the initial joy, I only felt a sense of inexplicable fear and inexplicable fear...
In short, I don’t dare to slack off now, so I will just follow the rules and add more updates.
