Although it had been many years since he came to the Tang Dynasty, Yun Chu still couldn't understand that the people of the Tang Dynasty, who had experienced so many wars, famines, plagues, hunger and diseases, were always dying.
Just like tonight's killing, those who died must be the strongest, bravest, and smartest people in the Tang Dynasty. If this scale of killing the elites of the tribe falls on a tribe in the Western Region, that tribe will soon
There is absolutely no doubt that it will disappear in the long river of history.
In view of this, Yunchu could only think that there were too many talented people in the Tang Dynasty, so many that they had become a nuisance and needed Qingli.
Come to think of it.
At this moment, there are just one Yun family and countless talented people who are busy non-stop.
Yunchu stayed in the study to play chess with the foreign woman who was spying on his beauty, and listened to the news Yin Erhu heard from outside.
His wife Yu Xiurong was beating a military drum, covering up the sounds of battle not far away with a loud sound.
His daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law were fighting each other.
His eldest son walked around restlessly on the roof like a giant cat, with the sword on his waist unsheathed and retracted, eager to fight.
His youngest son was feeding the most noble princess of the Tang Dynasty like a fool, so that he could keep her by his side. If something went wrong, he could use this princess as a human shield to protect him and escape.
Cui Yao, the tutor, wears a wide underskirt. If something goes wrong, she can tear off the underskirt in an instant, revealing the powerful clothing underneath. Under the tightly wrapped clothing, there is soft armor next to the body.
If she summons her again, her maid will immediately present her the usual crossbow, quiver, and six gunpowder shells with terrifying explosive power.
Together with the two armed maids who have been with her for more than ten years, such an armed group can ensure that she can take several women and children out of danger without any difficulty.
His pock-marked groom, together with four thin but extremely capable grooms, had been guarding a long and narrow carriage. The carriage was being pulled by four majestic armored war horses that looked like beasts.
As long as the wife, the two young ladies at home, and the young master enter the carriage, the flower wall in front of the carriage will move to both sides, and the carriage can run rampant in Luoyang City.
Outside the flower wall, there were one hundred fully armed retainers, each with two war horses behind them. The retainers were as quiet as a mountain, but the war horses were anxiously pawing the ground with their hooves. It was obvious that this was a sign that they had nowhere to vent their energy.
Behind the wall in front of the knight, the sound of hawking can be heard constantly. There is a bustling street, and a fat woman sells yellow mounted paper. Even if no one pays attention to the goods in front of her all night, she still plays with them without arrogance or impatience.
The goods are just looking at the endless flow of people, as if they are actively waiting for the target customers.
"Huan Yanfan, a bachelor of Hongwen Hall, was beheaded in the light."
Yunchu heard the news coming from the window, sighed and said to Jin Yiru: "It's a pity. Although there are many capable people around the queen, this person is definitely one of them. Three years ago, this person's "Admonition to Eliminate Alchemists and Offer Wine to the Crown Prince"
"Music" was very popular with me, and now it has become my last song."
Jin Yiru said: "You can't be considered a good person, his family in Jinzhou can be called bullies."
Yun Chu put a black stone on the chessboard and said: "No one is perfect, even if he kills all his bully family, he is still a sincere gentleman."
Jin Yuru pulled open the hem of her clothes and said, "The queen was planning to do this, but she was too soft-hearted and couldn't bear to leave her clan members, so she ended up with a violent death."
Yun Chu took a look at the content inside Jin Yuru's clothes and said strangely: "It wasn't so spectacular when I was in school."
Jin Yiru said resentfully: "You would have looked better if you had less punched me in the chest."
Yun Chu pondered for a moment and said, "You must have been tortured terribly by the Queen back then."
Jin Yiru lowered her eyes and whispered: "Giving your body to the emperor is the thing I hate the most in my life."
"Why, the emperor is not brave in bed?"
Jin Yiru looked up at Yun Chu and said sadly: "Why must the gentleman humiliate me?"
Yunchu put down the chess piece in his hand, wiped his handle and said: "The King of Silla is still drifting overseas and refuses to surrender, and the Silla people are still unwilling to change their customs and call themselves Tang people... So, Jin Yuru, you have suffered everything in your life.
No suffering deserves sympathy.
If you think that this kind of cannibalism between the Tang people will weaken the Tang Dynasty, you are wrong. The prince is a man who understands farming. If the seedlings in the fields are too thick, it will affect the harvest. Therefore, thinning out the seedlings is a matter of course.
things."
Jin Yiru said: "The people of Silla just want to remember the lives of their ancestors."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "Don't you forget the late king?"
Jin Yuru added: "We also want to enter Chang'an."
Yunchu said nonchalantly: "Come on."
"You won't kill them?"
"Chang'an's goal is to become the King of Ten Thousand Cities. As long as your people come to Chang'an and abide by the laws, they are Chang'an people."
When Jin Yiru wanted to further ask Yunchu for a guarantee, another voice came from the window.
"Liu Yuzhi, a member of Zhongshushe, died on the spot."
Yun Chu was surprised when he heard this: "Death in battle?"
Xiao Zuo outside the window responded quickly: "Liu Yinzhi is very skilled in martial arts. The Queen's Qianniu Guards killed two generals before killing this man."
Yun Chu turned to Jin Yuru and said: "This guy is a very good person. I have met him in the East Palace before. He has been working for the British Duke. Last year, I heard that he had completed six volumes of "The Story of Duke Wen Zhen".
He also said that he would complete the compilation of the four volumes of "The Story of Lord Zhenwu" this year, but I don't know if it has been completed yet."
Jin Yiru shook his head and said: "It's not finished yet. It can even be said that the following "The Story of British Zhenwu Gong" has just begun. He was busy helping the queen compile the "Biography of Women" and was delayed."
In this case, Yunchu felt that this guy's life and death had little to do with him, so he started playing chess with Jin Yuru again, but Jin Yuru was always willing to lean forward, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Because, there are always waves of subtle footsteps coming from above the head, which should be coming from Yun Jin who is standing on the roof.
Yu Xiurong beat the three-way war drum in one breath.
One drum beat lasts about five minutes, and three drum beats lasts for a quarter of an hour.
This is consistent with the time of the war drums in the army. After all, the soldiers are wearing heavy armor and holding weapons to attack in a wave of five minutes. If the enemy cannot be captured in one wave, the second war drum will be beaten.
If the enemy is already on the verge of collapse after the second drum beat, then beat the third drum for the final decisive battle.
This is the so-called principle of making great efforts in one go, then failing again, and finally exhausting yourself in three attempts.
After Yu Xiurong finished beating the three-way war drum, Li Si and Yun Jin, who were fighting endlessly in the field, immediately stopped fighting and stood on both sides supporting Ma Shan, their chests rising and falling violently.
The fierce battle just now left the noble ladies who came to Yun's clan stunned. They never imagined that the two green and beautiful girls in the field would look like tigresses once they started fighting.
Even though Yu Xiurong was playing the drum very hard, the sound of the drum was loud. After all, what Wu Mei should know could not be hidden from her. She did not leave, but sat calmly in the middle, looking at her with an unclear expression.
Yu Xiurong was also out of breath.
Yu Xiurong, who was dripping with sweat, picked up a glass of wine and invited the queen to drink: "Drink to win."
Wu Mei put on a smile and raised her glass and said, "Drink to win."
Li Si slowly came behind Wu Mei with the horse in hand, while Yun Jin returned to behind his mother Yu Xiurong with the horse in hand. The ladies present finally heard the sound of fighting not far away, and their beautiful faces turned pale.
, both sides trembled, but because the queen had no intention of leaving, they had no choice but to stay where they were, but they were no longer in the mood to watch the singing and dancing.
Wu Mei said to Yu Xiurong: "Is the prince in the house?"
Yu Xiurong drank a glass of wine boldly and said: "Idiot, all the dogs and sons are in the house, and none of the Yun family's retainers or servants have gone out."
Wu Mei took a sip of wine and said, "Very good."
Yu Xiurong added: "Inviting the Queen to the mansion for a banquet is the only thing Yunshi can do for the Queen."
Wu Mei stared into Yu Xiurong's eyes and said, "Where is the prince?"
Yu Xiurong said: "I went to Hebi Palace with Yun Na."
Wu Mei glanced at the Crown Princess Pei Wanying sitting below her and said, "You don't know?"
The Crown Princess stood up and knelt down and said, "My daughter-in-law knows."
Wu Mei sighed: "It's useless after all."
Yu Xiurong said: "I say that the power of God is unpredictable. After all, Luoyang City is your Majesty's Luoyang City. Whatever your Majesty wants to do in Luoyang City, whatever you do is God's grace."
Wu Mei said: "When the sky opens tomorrow, Luoyang will probably be flooded with blood."
Yu Xiurong said: "When the sky opens tomorrow, Luoyang City will be the same as yesterday."
"When did your Yun family leave Luoyang?"
"After singing and drinking, it's time for Yun to leave Luoyang."
Wu Mei was a very decisive person. She looked back at Li Si, who was standing behind her with his horse in his hand, and sighed: "Now that the matter has come to this, let's continue playing music and dancing!"
Li Si said loudly and expressionlessly: "Play music, sing and dance!"
So, after a rapid sound of the tambourine, twelve two-foot-square wool blankets were spread on the ground. Twelve Bodhisattvas from the Western Regions, dressed in cool clothes and wearing bells, came out with their hands clasped and their legs turned, shaking their shoulders and kicking
Behind the legs, the bells sounded uniformly, beating on the hearts of every guest like a war drum.
Not far away, there were bursts of explosions of thunder and fire bombs, and large plumes of flames and black smoke rose from time to time. Whether it was the singing and dancing of the Yun family, or the battle between the prince and the queen, everything entered a fierce state.
This battle was fought by the empress and the prince's men, but the person who promoted this battle was the emperor Li Zhi who lived in Ziwei Palace.
Today is a full moon night, and the emperor is sitting on a high platform with a giant bear leaning behind him.
Ziwei Palace is located at a high place, occupying the highest point of the city like Chang'an Palace.
Looking back at Chang'an, there are piles of embroidery, thousands of gates are opened on the top of the mountain, and the emperor is sitting at the top, and the city of Luoyang is exposed in front of his eyes without any concealment.
Putting down the monocular telescope specially made for him by Wen Wenwen, Li Zhi said to Rui Chun who was accompanying him: "Give me the order. Thunder bombs and kerosene bombs are not allowed to be used. It will not be good to smash Luoyang."
Ruichun looked at the flames rising from time to time in Luoyang City, as well as the thunderous explosions, and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, the two sides are already fighting. No one will listen to anything you say at this time."
Li Zhi smiled disapprovingly and said, "It blew up and burned down my Luoyang. I have to pay for it."
Ruichun said softly: "Your Majesty, General Xue has been waiting for you for a long time..."
Li Zhi raised his hand and said, "Then let him come in."
Xue Rengui, who was dressed in armor, arrived at the high platform in a short time. As soon as he entered, he bowed to the ground respectfully, lowering his head and not daring to look at Li Zhi's face.
Li Zhi said softly: "Don't be afraid, Xue Qing, this matter has nothing to do with you."
Xue Rengui said in a low voice: "There is chaos in Luoyang, and it is the fault of Weichen, the Luoyang guard."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, this is the war initiated by me. As long as Aiqing can control the war within a certain range, it will be a great achievement."
Xue Rengui raised his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, Zuo Sanqi often serves Guo Daiju, Shangshu Zuocheng Wei Xuantong, the minister Liu Qixian, the minister Wei Hongmin, the scholar Huan Yanfan of the Hongwen Museum, the doctor Wang Dezhen of the Ministry of official affairs, and the scholar Liu Yezhi Feishang.
Immediately after death, Qianniu Guards and Hwarang disciples suffered heavy casualties. Please tell me when to end the war."
Li Zhi frowned slightly and said, "It's not enough!"
Xue Rengui raised his head and looked at the emperor with his hands clasped in his fists and said: "Your Majesty, if the war is prolonged for one minute, the casualties will be heavier, and the elites of the Tang Dynasty will be reduced by one point. Please show mercy to your majesty."
Li Zhi looked at Xue Rengui and said, "What Ai Qing did is quite ancient."
Xue Rengui immediately closed his mouth when he heard this.
Li Zhi waved to Xue Rengui and said, "The bright moon is in the sky. My dear, you'd better have a drink with me."
Xue Rengui knelt down in front of the emperor. The giant bear behind the emperor suddenly got up and stared at Xue Rengui for a while, then obediently lay down on the ground under the emperor's comfort.
