Chapter 582 Dayi Spring and Autumn
The three city gates of Yingdu were taken down, leaving one in the hands of the Chu people.
There is no new idea but it is often very useful. As for the remaining city gate, the Jingnan Army has already been deployed outside, sharpening its swords.
Tian Wujing didn't know what was going on over there, and he didn't bother to find out.
When he led his army to kill here,
The fate of this city, this imperial capital, has actually been decided, and now he is just following a process.
Look at that guy,
what kind of final dish did he leave for himself?
This city is in a panic now, but wherever King Jingnan walks, it is extremely quiet. Ice and fire are clearly distinguishable here.
The imperial city is in front,
This towering city wall, this majestic palace gate, this neat and solemn staircase looking down, to a great extent, restores the grand scene when Daxia was still there.
Chu people love to be retro and respect ancient rituals. Where do they come from? Coming from Daxia.
In comparison,
Whether it is the Yan, Jin or the Qian established later, in addition to the name, they all regard themselves as the inheritors of Zhu Xia, and preach that the orthodoxy of Zhu Xia is mine. In fact, the etiquette, laws and regulations of Daxia in the Three Kingdoms have long been changed beyond recognition.
What they say is the fate of the summer, but in their hearts, they have long regarded this as a business to make money.
Outside the imperial city, there is an alley. On one side of the alley is the imperial palace, and on the other side is a royal palace.
At this time,
the palace is closed,
there should be someone inside.
Tian Wujing didn't know whose family this palace belonged to, but he thought that being able to live next to the palace must have been extremely glorious for his ancestors.
But,
Now,
when the Yan people’s horse hooves have stepped on the steps of the imperial city, the palace remains silent.
And today,
Silence,
is the real theme,
those who can speak out and those who dare to speak out are the minority.
Actually,
if other generals of the Yan army had entered Yingdu today, they would never be so deserted.
Especially when the high-ranking nobles discover that their king is probably no longer in the palace, the nobles' current awareness will be reflected.
Because the true heritage of the Da Chu nobles is not in the capital of Ying, but in the local fiefdoms.
In fact, they still have the capital to negotiate a deal. The Yan Emperor's horse stepping on the door conveys the idea of a centralized monarch. Conquering Yan does not mean that you will be liquidated immediately, but what about the next generation of Emperor Yan? ? What about the next generation?
The nobles resisted the Yan State because, with their political acumen, they had already seen clearly what kind of path Yan was planning to take;
On one side, there were the hereditary and irreplaceable nobles. ;
On one side, there is wealth that will be liquidated and ended by the next generation at the latest.
If you had a choice,
which one would you choose?
But in front of us, many family heads or family elites are already in Yingdu. Are they really going to be wiped out like this? Or, in other words, are they gone now and will the next generation choose to be gone?
Which one would you choose?
When things cannot be done,
it is better to choose to survive first and then enjoy it, and no longer worry about the flood after death.
But why was it the Nanhou of Yan who broke into the imperial city?
A demon who destroyed his whole family,
A god of murder who slaughtered 40,000 Qingluan troops under the Yupan City,
How to lower it?
How to drop?
Kneel down in front of him, wagging your tail and begging for mercy,
Are you waiting for his fluttering "execute him"?
If it were today,
It was not King Jingnan who came, but Bo Pingye.
As Pingye Bo Da Chu's consort,
After the nobles saw the wind clearly, although there will be a large number of "old and young" who choose to be buried in Da Chu, the vast majority will still come. Set is close.
After all,
is considered half of one’s own family, right?
It's not that the people of Chu don't know how to be enthusiastic, nor are they incapable of being enthusiastic, but facing King Jingnan, they really don't know how to be enthusiastic.
Therefore,
The city is now divided into two larger factions.
One faction is already organizing an escape. They will go out from that city gate, but slightly Anyone with a bit of military common sense knows that this is a dead end.
The Yan people even saved themselves the trouble of searching from house to house, and could finish the job with just a few charges in the wilderness.
The other sect is called the Immovable Mountain Sect.
It is not about surrendering, nor is it about resisting desperately. Just sitting like this, drinking tea, pretending that the mountain is collapsing in front of you without changing color.
Romantic,
just need to be able to pretend,
pretend,
Who wouldn't be like that?
As long as he doesn’t die now, it will be another good story in the future.
However, it is a pity that the two people who can influence its destiny no longer care about what this city is.
"Wontons, selling wontons!"
At the entrance of the alley, there is a wonton stall.
The stall is not big and there are no seats.
Behind, there is a flag with "Wu Ji" written on it.
There are time-honored brands in the alleys outside the imperial city of every country.
But it is not a time-honored store with a shop, but a stall.
Before going to court, the ministers naturally have to wait at the palace gate early, and they will inevitably feel hungry.
Therefore, it was the first choice to order my servants to buy some food at the entrance of the alley to satisfy my hunger.
It’s not that you can’t bring it from home, but if you bring it from home, firstly, it will lack the heat, and secondly, you will have to eat in a sedan chair or carriage, which is rickety, inconvenient and easy to stain the court clothes.
As for coming to court with a cook and ingredients, that would be too ostentatious.
Even if some of the great nobles' families have vast acreage of fertile land and countless servants, they still have to maintain the dignity of being "poor" under the imperial city. This has been a necessary quality for officials for thousands of years.
So these small stalls and vendors in Huangcheng Lane can play a great role.
Of course, don’t think that these stall vendors are really stall vendors.
Those who can set up a stall here,
even if it is just a small stall selling cakes or pancakes, the energy behind it is huge, and ordinary vendors cannot afford it. The stall fee here.
First of all, the Fengchao Internal Guard will review the vendors who set up stalls here and check their backgrounds. Otherwise, it would be a big joke to find out who poisoned a group of high-ranking officials. ?
Secondly, the stalls in Huangcheng Lane have to be bid for, which can be regarded as one of the extra income for Fengchao Neiwei. Here, the breakfast sellers all have flags on their backs, and they are all from Yingdu City. A century-old grand restaurant.
You will definitely not be able to make back your money by selling breakfast food. No matter how expensive you sell it, you will never be able to make back your money. But because those who eat it are the courtiers, you have to do this advertisement and this face. If you don't do it, others will do it.
However,
If we don’t go to court today, it won’t be at this point. Even if we go to court, it will be at this point. No vendors dare to come out and set up stalls here.
But by chance, a wonton stall appeared here.
Below, there is a small stove, burning charcoal. On the table, there are freshly wrapped wontons, both large and small. All kinds of seasonings are also prepared, and you can add them according to the customer's taste.
The stall owner is a middle-aged man wearing a bib. Perhaps he often works with flour, so he looks a little white.
The Wu Ji behind it is actually a time-honored brand.
Many courtiers heard from their elders that they had eaten Wu Ji’s wontons when they first came to court.
There were also good people who thought the wontons tasted good and went to look for Wu Ji’s wontons. Which shop in Yingdu set up a facade in Huangcheng Lane, but nothing was found.
Wu Ji seems to be a simple wonton vendor.
But even a fool knows that this is impossible.
But since it can’t be found out, no one will continue to investigate.
Since Fengchao Neiwei has let people sell wontons here and has sold a century-old brand, he certainly has his reasons.
Today,
Wu Ji is out again,
It's a pity that
the darkness in front of them is not the courtiers of Chu before going to court, but the people of Yan.
"Your Majesty, are you hungry? Would you like a bowl of wontons to warm your stomach?"
The stall owner Wu Mazi shouted enthusiastically.
He didn't bother to hide or pretend.
Since he has already appeared here, there is no need to add any further details. Tea house drinkers like to hear such stories, but the person involved does not like to act them out like this stupidly.
King Jingnan walked over,
At this time,
at the gate of the palace,
a small sedan chair appeared,
< br>
The two bearers put down the sedan,
an old man got out.
This person is Da Chu Ling Yin, equivalent to the prime minister of Da Chu.
He is short in stature. As he gets older, he seems to have shrunk and become smaller.
The two bearers are just ordinary people, and there is no need to say that they are loyal. However, at this time, facing a group of Jingnan Army cavalry that looked like wolves and tigers, they still trembled.
"Hahaha, go back, go back."
Ling Yin waved his hand and asked the two sedan bearers to go back.
These two bearers have been carrying his sedan chair since their grandfathers.
Immediately,
Ling Yin also came to the wonton stall, sniffed,
Said:
“Oh, I haven’t had this bite for a long time, I’m really panicking about it.”
Wu Mazi said with a smile; “Lord Ling Yin is tired of eating.”
< br>"Yes, yes, haha, in the early years, When Lao Wu was here, I ate them every now and then. Over the years since I got them, these wontons really don’t have the same flavor as when Lao Wu was here.”
Wu Mazi smiled and said nothing. Place two portions of wontons into the pot and cover the pot.
Then, he took out two bowls and started mixing the condiments into them.
"Lord Ling Yin, still follow the old rules, more green onions, more coriander, more spicy food, more sauce?"
Ling Yin stretched out his hand, rubbed his red nose, and said:
< br>"It's good that you haven't forgotten."
"Where are you, Your Majesty?"
King Jingnan said: "Whatever."
"Okay."
Wu Mazi said to Ling Yin again: "Look at the prince of Yan State, he just doesn't pay attention to food and clothing. We have a lot of people here." It's not even close."
"Humph."
Ling Yin rubbed his nose again, obviously not liking this very much, but he had to admit that it was the truth. .
"Eat, drink, eat and drink. It's nothing more than eating and drinking. Do you really want to eat well and be better than the gods in the sky?"
Wu Mazi seemed to have opened up his chat box,
Again:
“Look at our Imperial City Lane, what are the white bergamot hands? Dishes, such as exquisite steamed buns, and fresh fish soup. People who don’t know it sound like they think that our courtiers in Dachu are more down-to-earth, and eating and drinking are simple;
But they don’t know, that mentions How many chickens and ducks need to be boiled to make fresh soup? How many natural materials and treasures need to be thrown away?
With such a precious thing in your mouth,
with such a precious soup base in your bowl,
you said,
this mouth also says that people’s livelihood is many Hard and caring for all people, who believes it? "
"Wu Mazi, why do you talk so much today! Ling Yin couldn't help it anymore and cursed loudly, "Don't Yan people know how to be luxurious and enjoy themselves?"
Let me tell you, those people I knew back then..."
"They are all dead. "
"......" Ling Yin.
The Yan people will certainly enjoy it. The great Yan clan, like the great Chu nobles, owns land and has private soldiers.
Enjoy it,
Who wouldn't.
While enjoying it, the mood has arisen. It is already close to the people and natural enough to have a "meal and simple meal" that ordinary people can only eat during the Chinese New Year.
Chu people are human beings, but Yan people are not human beings?
But,
Ling Yin knew that what he said was right. The disciples of the great Yan clan that he knew at the beginning were all gone now.
He might be doing hard labor somewhere, or he might be suffering as a prisoner in the army.
All at once,
sweep them all, sweep them all, clean.
Ling Yin sighed and said: "It's not good to do this. After your Yan Kingdom has conquered the country, there is still dry land to fight, and there is Jin land to fight. As long as you win the battle, No matter how bad the situation is, you can always breathe a sigh of relief, right?
Where is my Da Chu?
Where can I fight?
The hundreds of tribes in Shanyue have been sorted together, and the remaining ones have either been assimilated and become docile, or they have been wiped out long ago but are still resurrecting.
People’s hearts are on fire, so we have to find a place to spread the fire, right? ”
“It’s yourselves, isn’t it? ”
“………” Ling Yin.
Wu Mazi took out the wontons and put them into a bowl. Then he took out a spoon and handed it over.
Ling Yin picked up the bowl, ate one, and sipped it while saying:
"It can't be done, it can't be done. The Xiong family of Dachu is rooted in the nobility. It is because we support him, so he Talent is the emperor, and without the nobles to support him, he will not be in the right position."
King Jingnan seemed not to be afraid of the other party's poison, and took a sip of the soup,
said:
"My elders in the field family thought the same way back then."
"..." Ling Yin.
"I have never believed in the divine right of kings, nor have I believed in anything. Since ancient times, the great Xia in the past has collapsed into a mess?
In this world,
what is really important? There are not many people;
There are many people who feel that they are important. "
"But now there are powerful enemies outside, Yingdu is lost, and the people's hearts are scattered. My lord, tell me, how can we do this? How can we do this? I know that you, Dayan, are going all out to attack Chu in a national war.
It is difficult to persevere, but if we are in this great situation, no matter how difficult it is, we will persevere, right?
What should we use to block it?
He,
What to block? "
King Jingnan shook his head,
said:
"I don't know. ”
He knows what the regent’s purpose is,
But he really didn't know what the regent of Dachu had the confidence to do.
"The emperor uses the world as a chessboard. My lord, tell me, if there is no way out, would he dare to let go of his own door like this?"
"Are you asking me?"
“Yes "My lord, it's still too late to go back now. Please leave some dignity to me, Da Chu. I, Da Chu, can satisfy you, King Jingnan, by ceding land, paying annual coins, and paying tribute."
Laughed,
Said:
“It is better to teach a man how to fish than to teach him how to fish.”
“What do you mean?”
“It is your business to do what I do. , but I prefer to get it myself.”
"Your Majesty, from now on, the nobles of Da Chu will inevitably become disloyal to that person, and Da Chu will even fall into chaos. Wouldn't it be better for the prince to watch the fire from the other side and reap the benefits of the fishermen?"
< br>
"You can't fight."
"Why is the prince so determined?"
"My surname is Tian."
"..." Ling Yin.
Wu Mazi held the stall with his hands, listened carefully to the two men talking, and smiled:
"That's right, if the Yan Kingdom can produce a Jingnan King, why can't we, the Chu nobles, also produce someone who dares to create a pattern for the country?"
I don't understand,
I think The Southern Marquis of Yan State, who destroyed his whole family, is a complete devil;
Understand,
you know how important Tian Wujing is to a country.
Ling Yin said helplessly:
“But a person like the prince is really unparalleled in the world.”
Is it difficult to destroy a whole family by oneself?
There are many people who are willing to be filial sons under coercion and inducement.
But the difficulty lies in the fact that the person himself was from a first-class family in the country.
The difficulty lies in the fact that after destroying the whole family, he can lead an army to go on an expedition and be invincible!
"My lord, are you not allowed to change your mind? My lord, are you not afraid that once you enter this palace gate, you will not be able to get out?
Even if you trample on my face and foundation. At this foot, without you, you don’t have to worry about the future. "After?"
"Don't worry."
"Is the prince so sure that you will be able to enter and leave the palace, or that you will die?" Is everything arranged? ”
"I don't believe that this palace gate can trap me. I also believe that in the future, even if I am not here, your Chu country's desire to go north is just wishful thinking."
"Your Majesty, Rong. Little old man, say some more nonsense.”
King Jingnan was noncommittal.
“Harmony is the most important thing. Let’s keep a line in life so that we can meet each other in the future.”
King Jingnan looked at Ling Yin,
Said:
“Do you think there is a future for you?
Or do you think there is a future for this city?”
Ling Yin put down the wonton bowl. , burst into tears.
He staggered towards the closed palace door,
Said:
"That's all. After all, I am the Ling Yin of the Chu State. The Ling Yin is also the Prime Minister of the country. I should pledge myself to the country. It's a pity that I don't know martial arts, and I can't lift a sword when I'm old.
I am standing at the entrance of the palace,
Please give me a good time before entering the palace.”
Walk on,
Ling Yin paused again,
said:
“Please also ask the prince to leave the whole body of the young old man.”
Paused,
Ling Yin said again;
"It's best, you have to spray some blood and make it look like blood is splattered on the palace door."
He paused again,
"If you want to spray blood, you have to have a whole corpse."
After a final pause,
“My lord, you are troubled.”
Ling Yin walked straight to the door of the palace,
opened his hands,
and shouted:
"I'm here. Yan Gou wants to enter the gate of my Da Chu Palace, so he has to Step over the old man’s body!”
Wu Mazi laughed twice,
Turning to look at King Jingnan,
said:
"What do you think of the wontons, Your Majesty?"
"It's acceptable."
"Although it's small, I know that Your Majesty is not a particular person about food, but I still feel honored to receive such a word from Your Majesty.”
After saying that,
Wu Mazi took two steps back,
pointed at the wonton stand,
said:
"Old man Ling Yin is right. , Actually, the wontons cooked by my master are indeed more delicious than those cooked by me, because I am better than my master.
Before he died, he was worthy of the third rank. As for me, I was a little better than my master.
This principle applies to everything you do.
The more time you practice, the more your kungfu will improve. The more time you spend cooking wontons, the more delicious the wontons will be. . "
Wu Mazi glanced at the wonton stall again, with a lingering look in his eyes.
King Jingnan looked at the man in front of him who was cooking the wontons quickly before,
Said:
“I heard that there is always a shadow in the Imperial City of Dachu.”
There is always a shadow guarding the Imperial City of Dachu, which is isolated from the inner guards of Fengchao. , only loyal to the previous Chu emperors.
Few people know who that shadow is and where he is.
Now,
The truth is revealed.
The shadow lineage is a single generation, setting up a stall in Huangcheng Lane, selling wontons.
Since the founding of Da Chu, the imperial palace has never been breached by a coup.
It’s not that there have been no coups, and it’s not that no coups have been successful.
But as long as the Emperor of Chu is in the imperial city, he is safe.
"Five years ago, His Highness the Fourth, who was not the King, came to my stall and ate a bowl of wontons." Wu Mazi's eyes revealed a trace of reminiscence, "His Highness asked, I was really hungry, so I just ate wontons. It can be eaten even if it is boiled in hot water.
I said:
No,
There are rules for cooking wontons. The rules are set down by the master, the master's master, and the master's master.
Wontons must be cooked. It needs to be cooked thoroughly and cooked until it is hot enough to be really delicious.”
The Emperor of Chu died, and the rebellion among the princes began, but those brothers were defeated and arrested one by one by the regent.
The Royal Imperial Guard, the Shi family, and several first-class nobles all stood behind the regent early.
It can be said that
the Regent has long been the default winner.
But the late emperor was lying on the bed for several years, which meant that Da Chu wasted several years.
In the past few years,
Dayan Ma stepped on the door and attacked Qian to destroy Jin.
When Da Chu was about to annex Cheng State, Chu State, which had just escaped from the rebellion among the princes, had time to send Qu Tiannan to lead a Qingluan army northward.
If the State of Chu had not been "lost" in the past few years, and if the regent had been given a few more years, perhaps the ownership of the land of the Three Jins, and even the current situation of Dayan's troops approaching the city, would not have happened. .
Wu Mazi told a secret from that year.
At that time, the regent had not thought of launching an early attack so that his father, who was seriously ill, would die early.
But in the end,
The regent still chose to wait. Maybe, he wanted to wait for someone with a legitimate reputation. Maybe, he didn’t want to bear the notoriety of patricide. Maybe, he was not completely ready yet. , failed to appease the ruling and opposition parties and the noble forces;
Of course,
it is also possible,
He failed to persuade a vendor selling wontons at a stall in Huangcheng Lane.
"My lord, I have been thinking about one thing today. If I had made an exception back then, maybe today, my lord, you would not be able to enter the capital of Ying, and you would not be able to knock on the palace gates of the imperial city?
The villain wants to keep this rule Rules, because in the past, the villain has always believed that abiding by these rules is the best for Da Chu.
But today,
I want to protect it because of mine. Guard and will be lost
Your Majesty,
I dare to ask you,
Do you think
Did I do anything wrong?
The villain must have done something wrong. The king must also think that the villain did something wrong, so he didn’t take the villain away.
Although
the villain will not leave, but the king did not even ask.
Alas. "
Asked,
Wu Mazi began to release the tyrannical aura belonging to a third-grade peak martial artist, like the rising sun rising from the ground!
A third-grade peak warrior guards the Imperial City Lane.
Any prince who wants to commit a crime must weigh it first
before he commits a crime!
Tian Wujing stood there,
alone carrying the energy that burst out from the wonton stall owner,
He slowly said:
"It is only the Spring and Autumn Period that you know that I have sinned against you." (End of Chapter)
