Chapter 384 The iron hoof of Western Qin shocked the capital
"Jiang Yuqing is a thief! He has the heart of a tiger and a wolf! His Jiang family has been favored by the emperor. The land of Western Qin is an important city on our border. Your Majesty treats him badly. How can he bear it? Mountains and rivers broken Broken, hundreds of millions of people are displaced, Li really wants to peel off his heart and see what he thinks..."
In Ruyifang, "Qiyun Tower", a certain prostitute looked up to the sky Yelled, tears streaming down my face.
Someone next to me advised: "Brother Li, there is no need to be so pessimistic. The Dianqian Army and the Shence Army have millions of troops guarding the border. It will be difficult for them to break in!"
"Having said that, , but Li is unwilling to give in. Li can’t wait to go to the battlefield with a three-foot green peak in his hand..."
"Ignorant kid!"
Someone was passing by on the depressed street downstairs. He was a man with a stocky face. He was not a big shot, just a restaurant owner. But he had read for several years and his feelings about family and country were deep in his heart. Shi sighed softly: "The tiger and wolf troops of the Western Qin are marching across the Western Regions. All of them are veterans of hundreds of battles. How to stop them and what to use to stop them? The sycophants of the entire dynasty forced the King of Qin to rebel..." < br>
As he spoke, he shook his head and walked a few steps, tears falling down drop by drop, and he murmured: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country..."
Suddenly I heard a burst of musical instruments and singing coming from the other side of the river. The female singer couldn't help but angrily scolded: "Shang girls don't know the hatred of the country's subjugation, but they still sing about the flowers in the backyard across the river..."
I was stunned. Wasn't this poem written by King Jiang Yuqing of Qin?
That’s right! Who doesn’t know that the poems Qiugong Pavilion brought back then were all written by today’s Jiang Thief?
“Why would a world-famous genius with such a wealth of knowledge and martial arts become a rebel?”
This is just a corner of the capital, and the same scene is being played out in many places.
The man is not a big shot, but he just feels that he is in a low position and cannot forget about the country.
The next moment, a few rapid hoofbeats completely crushed the patriotism of him and even a group of scholars upstairs, turning it into bone-chilling coldness.
The sound of horse hooves came from the urgent messenger who traveled thousands of miles away. The messenger's face was pale. I don't know whether he was tired or frightened. But the letter he held up was a gold-lettered urgent military letter. The words he shouted out made the people on the streets along the way even more excited. Guests in hundreds of brothels were like falling into the abyss:
“The Battle of Puyang broke out in the Western Qin Dynasty. The 800,000 Palace Front Army and the Shence Army were wiped out. The Western Qin Army has entered the pass..."< br>
"The Western Qin Army has entered the pass..."
The horse's hooves brushed against the man and left quickly. The man sat down on the ground: "It's over..."
Upstairs "Li" fell over and his face changed uncertainly: "Li is drunk, he must be drunk..."
The people around him were even more panicked and quickened their pace.
In front of the messenger, a carriage suddenly sprang out and stopped the messenger. A young green-robed official jumped out of the carriage and angrily grabbed the messenger's horse rein: "Bold soldier and thief" ! How dare you be so alarmist and cholera the people's hearts..."
Several messengers were also furious: "Western Qin The war report was urgently sent to the Ministry of War from the Governor's Office. The Western Qin Army has swept across the Central Plains. How can we not report the important events of our family and the country? "
The messenger finally gave in and threw off the reins: "That's fine! "
……
Jiang Mansion.
In the past, the scene of busy traffic, crowded guests, officials and dignitaries has disappeared. It is deserted, like a downtrodden family in the sunset.
Not only that, the front and rear gates have already been surrounded and guarded by the wolf-like and tiger-like imperial guards.
A few days ago, people who had been bullied by the Jiang family passed by, and they would take the opportunity to spit thick phlegm and add insult to injury. After all, a phoenix that has lost power is not as good as a chicken. Who is afraid of whom? But in the past few days, no one dared to do it. Not only did they not dare, but they also stayed away from each other.
The eldest grandson of this family has rebelled. If millions of Jiang family soldiers come to kill him, who can bear it?
Fuzhong is also deserted.
At the Qing Courtyard, there were no business stewards or heads of small branch families to come to perform business, and naturally there was no need to deal with housework. Therefore, a large group of widowed ladies such as the old lady, Princess Zheng, and Princess Beihai moved small stools. Sit in the courtyard and bask in the sun.
Most of the groups of maids and servants around have been dismissed, leaving only Li Yun and a few old family members to serve.
The old lady’s hair was completely gray, and she had become senile. Her eyes no longer had the shrewd light before, only dullness and turbidity remained. She looked at the door silently, and then slowly closed it. Soon there was a slight snoring sound.
The dazed Princess Zheng stepped on an ant to death, and then looked at the old lady: "Old lady? Old lady?"
The old lady trembled, and sat up in confusion: "What? Yuqing is back?”
A group of princesses and ladies couldn’t help but look sad.
Li Yun on the side turned away, her eyes dim with tears, and she choked with sobs: "The prince... is in Western Qin!" "Really?"
The old lady looked toward the door, with a hint of excitement in her cloudy old eyes. She seemed to see the figure of the young and heroic eldest grandson of the Jiang family, the grandson who was extremely talented in martial arts and whose military ability far exceeded that of his ancestors.
The Jiang family’s Qilin’er!
Then he knelt in front of her and said with a smile: "Grandma, my grandson is back. He won the battle and brought glory to our ancestors!"
"Okay, okay! My dear grandson, no. You have brought shame to your ancestors. The Jiang family has risen again since you, but you must remember not to be proud and complacent. You must be loyal to the Zhou Dynasty, be a wise king, assist the emperor, and be a good minister who supports the country..."
< br>The old lady stood up with a smile, stretched out her hand to grab her grandson, but missed it and couldn't help but froze in place.
"Old lady..."
A group of princesses and ladies behind him couldn't help but get up.
The old lady regained some clarity in her eyes, and then turned around: "He...did he rebel?"
A group of princesses and ladies looked at each other in silence, and there were still people in the capital. Who doesn't know that he has rebelled?
The old lady was in a daze again, and suddenly shouted angrily: "This rebellious grandson is unfaithful and unfilial! My Jiang family has been loyal for generations, why do you do this? You have been gone for several years without any news. , are you leading the army back again? Are you still thinking about your grandmother? "
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly came over from the wall not far away, and hurriedly came closer, breathing rapidly and looking pale.
The old lady, princess, and ladies all looked at this person.
The man bowed respectfully and his voice trembled slightly: "The prince of the county led hundreds of thousands of troops from the Western Qin Dynasty and 500,000 slave soldiers of the Hu tribe to fight against Puyang and annihilate all the people in front of the palace and Shence. With an army of 800,000 soldiers heading straight towards the hinterland of the Central Plains, the Great Zhou Dynasty... will soon be full of war, and the world... will be in chaos!"
A group of princesses and ladies were horrified.
The old lady was breathing heavily, and there was a trace of fear in her eyes. Are the Jiang family really going to reach this point? Suddenly he said sharply: "Where is Yugui? Let him escape!"
Li Yun sighed: "The second young master has been invited into the palace by Your Majesty!"
"Where is Yuqi?" the old lady asked again.
Li Yun replied: "Miss Yuqi is pregnant and has been taken away by King Wu!"
"Where is Shengping?"
"The eldest princess has entered the palace. ! ”
The old lady didn't have any strength left and sat down slumped.
……
Royal Palace.
Kunxu Palace.
This is the emperor's palace. After the news came that the two armies in front of the palace and Shence were annihilated, Emperor Zhou Ji Chunjiu dismissed his ministers and came here alone.
There were no maids around, and none of the concubines who used to play around were gone.
Desolate and deserted.
The emperor just felt itchy in his head and removed the dragon crown. His hair was already messy. He did not sit on the dragon chair that represented the Nine-Five Supreme Being. He just sat on the ground on the chair with white jade wine in his hand. Kettle, took a deep sip.
The rejuvenating brew from the Western Regions is indeed spicy.
He smashed his mouth, his eyes were a little dull, and he chuckled: "How much good wine did Jiang Thief drink? How many beauties from the Western Regions did he play with? He lives a more comfortable life than me!"
< br>
At this moment, a voice of exhaustion and hatred came from outside the palace: "Chunjiu, you finally forced him to rebel!"
