After hearing Eunuch Lin's report, Patriarch Xuanqing smiled and said, "King Feng, you are digging your own grave."
As soon as the words 'dig your own grave' came out, Qi Bao'er was also happy, "It didn't look like she was smart. If she hadn't been secretly protected by people from the Wuying Army, she would have been able to
You can’t get out of Qilin Country at all.”
Speaking of this, Qi Baoer thought of another person, "It's the King of Chu..."
Prince Renyin's faint voice came, "The King of Chu is dead."
Several eyes looked at him at the same time.
It seems that Crown Prince Renyin knew about this incident accidentally. On his way to pursue Suzaku, he met several old men of King Chu of Suzaku Kingdom.
Those old men are being hunted by the Suzaku Emperor's secret guards.
Prince Renyin was too lazy to take care of him at first, but the secret guards had already caused serious injuries to his old subordinates. He seemed to think that everything was safe, so he began to press him and ask where the King of Chu's order to mobilize troops was.
After Prince Renyin stayed with Qi Bao'er for a while, he unknowingly developed a hobby of eating melons. How can I put it, people seem to get closer if they often eat melons together.
When encountering such a situation of asking for a token, a big drama unfolded in my mind, and I moved towards it as if I was being sucked.
Afterwards, as expected, from the questioning and cursing from both sides, we heard a drama of "the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked".
Uh, something doesn’t seem right;
Forget it, that’s pretty much the meaning anyway.
The King of Chu is one of the few kings with different surnames in the Suzaku Kingdom, and he is the only one among these rare kings with different surnames who holds real power [army].
In the hearts of the people of the Suzaku Kingdom, he is almost the same as Qi Baoer's status in the past and future generations towards General Yue.
Although he was not stationed at the border, the Chu army under him was always in danger. He was never defeated in any battle, and he was a truly victorious general.
Therefore, the status of the King of Chu in the Suzaku Kingdom was different from that of ordinary people. Even the prince's children could not compare with him. Even among the people, the Suzaku Emperor was not as prestigious as him.
How should I put it, this is actually not a good thing.
If you meet a tolerant and generous emperor, that's fine, and you may be happy to have such a strong general; but if you are the kind of petty and narrow-minded, your reputation among the people will actually be higher than that of him/her as an emperor.
Even higher. The people may not remember who the emperor is, but they will definitely remember you. So who else will be eliminated if not you?
As a result, the King of Chu was seriously injured after being assassinated, and was poisoned during treatment. The emperor searched all over the country but could not find an antidote, and unfortunately he died of poisoning.
Eunuch Lin spat bitterly, "That Suzaku Emperor is nothing."
When the King of Chu's Chu family army was needed to protect Suzaku, he was an important minister who had the utmost trust of the emperor; when he was no longer needed, he assassinated and poisoned, and pretended to be a wise king.
凎.
Not to mention Eunuch Lin, everyone was upset when they heard about King Chu's plight.
The three people in the three scenes, except Eunuch Lin, Qi Baoer and Yuchi, are all generals guarding the Qilin Kingdom.
They have not met an emperor like the Suzaku Emperor like the King of Chu, but, due to similar status, they will have a deeper feeling about this and feel more unworthy of the King of Chu.
The word "guard" is so easy to write, so much blood and tears of soldiers, so much hard work of generals...
Qi Bao'er is special, she has a super strong outer hexagram body, there is no comparison;
Take Yuchi as an example. His clothes were lifted, and there were no fewer than thirty scars on his body. Yuchi himself could no longer remember the number of times he had wandered between life and death.
Why are they working so hard?
We are all human beings, is it possible that they are so world-weary that they don’t want to go to the battlefield alive and be used as firewood?
no.
Because of faith, because of family, because of loyalty; because putting on those clothes means carrying the word "protection" on your back.
But if the result of desperate efforts is the emperor's jealousy and dissatisfaction, and even the desire to get rid of it quickly, it feels very special just thinking about it.
In this comparison, they are really lucky.
The emperors of the Qilin Kingdom were not so petty. Even the late emperor, who in Qi Bao'er's eyes lacked great virtue, honestly did not feel sorry for any of his courtiers.
Let’s just say that the family of Shang Shu, who initially gave way to Qi Baoer, could no longer serve as officials due to various reasons. The late emperor issued an order for the whole family to be exiled, but the late emperor sent someone to wait at the pavilion outside Beijing.
After the family arrived at the farewell pavilion, they were redirected and sent to the south to live an ordinary life.
You want to be replaced by an emperor. The Minister has indeed exchanged letters with the generals of other countries. It would be generous to save you from death and just go into exile. How can it be possible for all of you to have all the eyesight and send a special mission?
Are you being escorted away?
Looking at the generals, there have been many generals who have held military power since the founding of the Kirin Kingdom. Some of them, such as Yi'an Bofu and Yong'an Houfu, have had military power in their hands for generations. However, the emperors of the Kirin Kingdom throughout the ages have no matter what they think in their hearts.
, there has never been a military general who has never made a big mistake and was convicted of an unnecessary crime.
Of course, this situation of benevolence and loyalty is related to many aspects, but it cannot be denied that the lineage of the Qilin Kingdom's monarch is quite qualified in being an emperor.
None of them are crooked, and they are all strong enough.
I've gone too far, come back.
The King of Chu was a hero, but not the hero of the Qilin Kingdom. The three of them and Erpiao lamented his situation and stopped talking in detail, and the topic returned to Lianzhou.
It was Eunuch Lin who continued to talk about the news he had learned from Fat Aunt:
Because Lianzhou is already the state capital closest to the border, people coming from other states are reluctant to come to Nigyuan Town, which is still located in remote Lianzhou.
Fat Aunt and the others were the first to take the initiative to come to Niyuan Town.
It is said that all the silver taels were spent on buying the house, but it was actually very cheap. If it were a larger house, it only cost 10 taels of silver, and you could still afford the installment payment.
Of course, there is no such thing as installment payment, but the meaning is similar. The house will be given to you to live in first, and you just need to pay back the money within the agreed time.
It can be said to be quite benevolent and righteous.
Fat Aunt and others were the first group to come to Niyuan Town on their own initiative, and they were also the only ones to come to Niyuan Town on their own initiative. Not long after Fat Aunt and others came, they were forced to be sent to live in Ningning Town.
people.
After Niyuan Town could no longer accommodate the residents, they were distributed to surrounding villages.
Niyuan Town does have mountains and water for planting, and there are several silver mines in the mountains about twenty miles to the north.
As more and more people come to Ninyuan Town, whether they are farmers who choose to work as farmers or miners who choose to work in silver mines, they have a way out.
The more people there are, the more demand there will be, and the number of people running business will also increase.
As a result, Ningyuan Town became more and more lively. Looking back now, who can still remember that this place was a dead city for a long time.
"There is a government in Niyuan Town, but the real people in charge are the four merchants in the town. After King Feng returned to Beijing, he had almost no control over Niyuan Town. In the past, the silver mines belonged to the imperial court. After King Feng left,
Then it was occupied by each of the four families."
