Chapter 403: Driving in Hanoi
The sky was dark, with lightning and thunder.
Brother Cong squatted by the river and watched the guards catching fish one by one.
This is Fenshui, with beautiful mountains and clear waters and pleasant scenery.
It’s okay to come here occasionally to relax. The problem is that Brother Cong has been staying by the river for seven or eight days. He doesn’t leave at night and just lives by the river. I enjoy watching people fishing all day long. People who don’t know it think this is some kind of stress relief program.
The sound of horse hooves sounded from the riverside.
After a while, a veteran got off his horse and angrily came to where Liu Cong was.
When the guards saw that it was Wang Zhang, the general of the Chinese army, they did not dare to stop him. They just took off his saber and let him go.
"It's Wang Qing, eating fish at night." Liu Cong glanced at it, then turned to continue watching the fishing.
"Your Majesty is responsible for the great responsibility of the country, how can he act so rashly?" Wang Zhang frowned and admonished.
"Why am I so rash?" Liu Cong asked, unhappy.
Wang Zhang also had a bad temper, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty refused to offer fish and crabs, and beheaded the envoy of Zuodushui, King Xiangling. Now I am watching the fishermen in Fenshui, but they don't come back at night. Comparative observation What your Majesty has done, I am truly heartbroken. The ignorant people today have no ambition to return to the Han Dynasty, and they still miss the Jin Dynasty. Liu Kun is so close, and the emperor is so easy to attack, and one man is in his ear-"
"That's enough. !" Liu Cong stood up suddenly and said: "Since I used the army, I have occupied Shangdang, conquered Hanoi, captured Hongnong, and regained Chang'an. What happened to Guanyu?"
"Your Majesty!" Seeing Liu Cong's anger, Wang Zhang did not show any weakness and persuaded with the intention of admonishing him: "Since this year, Your Majesty has ignored political affairs and committed many killings, which is resented by both China and foreign countries. If this continues, the foundation created by the late emperor will be destroyed. ”
Liu Cong’s eyes widened and he was furious.
In the past few months this year, he has indeed killed many people.
The troops besieging Jinyang have been defeated. Tuoba Xianbei intervened and attacked Liu Kun internally and externally. Bu Jue was defeated first, Jin Chong beheaded him, gathered the defeated troops and retreated slowly. Liu Cong was furious after hearing this and sent envoys to kill Jin Chong on the grounds that he was good at killing generals.
Later, he refused to offer fish and crabs, so he beheaded Liu Xin, King of Xiangling, the envoy of Zuodu Water.
As the Wenming and Huiguang palaces were not completed, he beheaded the generals to become the great craftsman and Wangdu Gong Jinling.
Such things are frightening.
Today, Wang Zhang contradicted him again. Liu Cong happened to drink some wine, and his anger could no longer be suppressed.
But Wang Zhang was still chattering there: "I advise your Majesty to go to Xiulai instead, it will be a great blessing!"
"Come here!" Liu Cong shouted.
The guards immediately stepped forward.
"Behead this old guy!" Liu Cong pointed at Wang Zhang and said.
"Yes." The guard stepped forward and grabbed Wang Zhang's arm, intending to drag him away.
Wang Zhang did not resist, but cried silently.
"Your Majesty!" A woman suddenly rushed out of the tent. When she arrived in front of Liu Cong, she knelt down directly, hugged his legs, and cried: "Your Majesty, please spare my father!"
After saying that, his head bang bang bang bang on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
Liu Cong took a look and saw that it was the palace lady Wang.
Wang was still kowtow and begging.
Liu Cong looked at the father and daughter steadily.
After a long time, he snorted coldly and said: "Let Wang Zhang be imprisoned first."
"As ordered." The guards escorted Wang Zhang away, but their movements were much gentler.
"Disappointment! Go back to the palace!" Liu Cong stopped watching the fishing, got on the carriage directly, and ordered to go back to the palace.
The downpour fell quickly.
The convoy and horse team trudged forward in the heavy rain and returned to Pingyang early the next morning.
As soon as they entered the city, Zhonghuangmen came to report: The Queen Mother has not eaten for three days.
Liu Cong originally wanted to see the Queen Mother, but he heard a report from Zhonghuangmen: "The Queen Mother does not want to see her because Her Majesty kills too many people."
Liu Cong was so angry after hearing this that he threw off his robe. Sleeve, returned to the main hall.
Not long after I sat down, the miserable Zhonghuangmen came again.
“Do you want to die?” Liu Cong looked at Zhonghuang Gate angrily.
If this guy hadn’t always been diligent and diligent, I would have killed him with one sword just now.
"Your Majesty." Zhong Huangmen's body was trembling slightly, but he still reported: "The emperor's younger brother, the King of Hanoi, carried the coffin outside the palace and said that he would die to remonstrate."
Liu Cong He sneered and said, "You can't wait to die so much?"
Zhong Huangmen muttered twice, but stopped talking.
"What else is there? Let me finish it in one breath so that I can send you down as soon as possible." Liu Cong slapped the table and said angrily.
"Your Majesty." Zhonghuangmen gritted his teeth and said: "The Dazai, Taibao and other ministers, as well as more than a hundred princes, are all outside the palace..."
Liu Cong stopped smiling, or rather I can't laugh anymore.
There are more than a hundred ministers and princes, including almost most of the high-ranking officials in the court, tribal leaders, and military generals. Liu Cong still has a good idea of what these people represent.
Liu Cong was silent for a long time, and the expression on his face was very exciting, almost like a face-changing stunt. Zhonghuangmen lowered his head and waited quietly.
He was secretly relieved. He understands His Majesty very well. If he has hatred, he should not retaliate on the spot. If he is angry, he will vent it immediately. The fact that he is still silent now only shows one thing: he is afraid.
At the same time, I am a little relieved: after all, the foundation created by the late emperor still has loyal ministers to maintain it.
"Go and get the silk quickly." Liu Cong whispered, and then left the palace gate.
The first thing I saw was the emperor's younger brother Liu Yi and the King of Hanoi Liu Can.
The two of them knelt on the ground, followed by a large group of people in darkness.
Liu Cong had a sudden thought and said loudly: "You and others are all members of the country, how can we do this? Get up quickly."
After that, he personally sent Liu Yi, the emperor's brother, and Hanoi to the throne. Wang Liucan, Dazai Liu Yannian, Taibao Liu Yin and others helped him up.
Liu Yin and others did not just let it go. Instead, they took off the crowns on their heads and cried: "Your Majesty has great merit and virtue, and is unparalleled in the world. But just now, for a small reason, he is urgently needed. The prince was killed; he spoke out about his disobedience and imprisoned the general. The ministers and others had not solved the problem, so they worried about him and forgot to sleep and eat. "
After Liu Cong was silent for a moment, he put on a face of shame and said: "I was very drunk yesterday. What I said and what I did was not my intention. Fortunately, I have a minister who stabbed me in the face. I have heard it. However, I hope you and others will not be concerned and continue to work hard on state affairs. We will be rich and noble together in the future."
Liu Yin heard this and smiled happily.
This old man who contributed six daughters and granddaughters to Liu Cong wiped his tears and said: "Your Majesty will change it after hearing it. This is the ancient sage."
"Go to Your Majesty, Tang Yu, is the sage king of ancient times." All the ministers also praised.
Liu Cong’s face returned to rosy.
It happened that at this time, Zhonghuangmen led someone with silk and silk, and then ordered: "I have to reward you for your concern about state affairs. Now I will give you a hundred pieces of silk to comfort you and others. The heart of serving the country.”
“I thank you for your kindness,” the ministers said in unison.
Liu Cong smiled and said: "Everyone, get up."
After saying that, he added: "I feel deeply ashamed about Wang Qing (Wang Zhang). Taige can send his servants. Chijie pardoned the general of the Chinese army. But he said, "The late emperor relied on you as his right hand. I dare to forget this matter after your death. I hope you will ignore it in the future. Don't worry about it." Jin Wangqing is the Hushi General and the Duke of Dingxiang County."
"Your Majesty," the ministers congratulated.
After finally dealing with the courtiers, Liu Cong sat back behind the dragon case with a hesitant expression.
After a long time, a sigh came from the empty palace room.
Even the emperor cannot be willful.
He is still an emperor with many military exploits, but he cannot do whatever he wants, let alone the next generation.
After opening the memorials from various places that had been covered in dust for many days, he read patiently for a long time.
Liu Yao actually asked for reinforcements again!
Shan Zheng brought more than 10,000 reinforcements, but he still couldn't win. With more than 30,000 infantry and cavalry at the front and rear, they could not defeat the Jin army with less than 60,000 infantry and cavalry. What kind of battle was this?
Liu Cong wanted to write some words of rebuke in frustration, but he couldn't hold it back when he thought of the scene where the ministers came to remonstrate just now.
After throwing this memorial aside, he turned over another one.
Shi Chao fought with Wang Jun and died in the middle of the attack. Anping was captured by Jun.
Damn it, another defeat!
Liu Congti wrote a bunch of notes with a brush, to the effect that he sent Zhenyuan General Liang Fuzun to march eastward to attack Wang Jun with Shi Le.
Duan Bu Xianbei had just been taught a lesson by Murong Xianbei for a while, and he probably didn't have enough time to support Wang Jun. As for the Wuhuan people, it's possible, but their combat power is just that.
It's no big deal for these two troops to attack Wang Jun, but if it really doesn't work, they can squeeze out a few more soldiers and horses, and Wang Jun will definitely be wiped out, so as not to be disgusting by jumping around in the rear.
After reviewing this copy, he opened the third copy and was stunned after reading it roughly.
Sanzhu!
What are the Jin people doing? Will building the pontoon bridge make it easier for our Han soldiers to march south to Luoyang?
Of course this is impossible.
Liu Cong thought about it and felt that there was only one possibility: the Jin people wanted to block Meng Jin and prevent the heavenly soldiers from going south.
Moreover, currently we are only building pontoon bridges between the south bank and Hezhu. In the future, will we build bridges and cities in the Zamati area on the north bank?
This is to take the initiative to attack the big man!
Liu Cong could hardly remember the last time the Jin army took the initiative to attack. It felt like it was before Sima Yue's death.
One time was the Battle of Changping. He personally led his army to attack and annihilated more than 30,000 Jin soldiers.
One time was the Battle of Dayang, where Jin generals Cao Wu and Peng Mo were killed, and more than 20,000 people were captured and killed.
After defeating the two offensives of the Jin people, Luoyang only had to defend.
How many years has it been? Do you want to attack the big man again?
Could it be that the forced retreat of the Wang Division in Gaoping last year gave them unrealistic illusions?
"By decree, I am going to Hanoi for inspection." Liu Cong slapped the table and ordered.
He had a vague hunch that he might see that person this time.
The man who punched him hard when he was conquering cities and territories and at the height of the sun.
