After the Yan army had breakfast, they marched to the gates of Beiping City and launched an attack on the Ming army that was besieging the city. The Ming army surrounded the city on all sides and their forces were scattered. In one aspect, their military strength was not superior to that of the Yan army.
The morale of the army was high. The nearly 100,000 troops were elite soldiers brought from Daning Dusi. They had just gone through a battle yesterday, but the imperial army had been under the city of Peiping for a long time. They were tired of men and horses. As a result, the Ming army was at a disadvantage as soon as the battle began.【】
Seeing the sudden appearance of King Yan and the huge increase in troops, the generals of the Ming army wanted to ask Duke Li Daguo for countermeasures. Unfortunately, Li Jinglong, like a rabbit, had already gone to Dezhou to eat braised chicken, and the generals could not find him.
As a general who was fighting against rebellion, he had no choice but to fight on his own.
These generals are really good at fighting. They struggled for two full days and ran out of food and grass before they were defeated. The Yan army chased them with cavalry for a while and then withdrew their troops. The city defenders opened the city gate and the king of Yan
Zhu Di returned to Peiping in triumph.
Prince Yan and Concubine Xu have been surrounded by dangers for more than a month. The city of Beiping is about to be destroyed several times. Prince Yan seems to be in no danger outside. However, if the trip to Daning is delayed, there will be a narrow escape from death. Now the disaster is coming.
For the rest of their lives, the couple hugged each other and cried with joy.
But no matter what, once the big crisis was resolved, Zhu Di finally gained a foothold in the north. After acquiring 80,000 elite troops from Daning Dusi, the King of Yan not only greatly increased his military strength, but also gained a greater strategic space. The imperial court had an army of 500,000.
Once the news of such a complete defeat spread, one can imagine how much shock it would cause to the imperial court.
"Xuan!"
"Brother Shimei!" (Shimei, Zhang Yu)
"Haha, Xuan is here."
"Oh, brother Shihong, has the arrow wound on your arm healed?" (Shihong, Zhu Neng)
"Xuan is here. Today is Lao Qiu's birthday. There will be a family banquet tonight. It's just a few familiar friends. Let's have some drinks. I invited you. You kid is so elusive that I can't catch you here.
It’s just a coincidence that we bumped into each other, I must come at Xu time tonight.”
"Brother Qiu Fu, you're welcome. Brother, I will definitely arrive, I will definitely arrive."
Since Xia Xun entered Prince Yan's Mansion, all the people who came in and out were familiar faces. Whoever came out was the future Duke or Marquis of the Ming Dynasty. He just nodded to one and waved to another.
, a person walked towards him, and he quickly bent down to bow. Xia Xun knew everyone in the palace, and all of them were princes, which made him panic, like a drunken Sun Dasheng strolling through a peach feast, dancing and dancing all the way.
Xia Xun came to ask for pay. The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and fodder have gone first. Now his soldiers have gone first. What can he do without money? Money is needed to spy on military intelligence, and money is needed to place eyes and ears behind enemy lines. The funds for this activity were in Xingzhou when King Yan
Although I promised him, I haven't given it yet.
The money came from King Ning, and the money from the Yan Palace had long been turned into military pay for the defense of Beiping. Although King Ning was a little hesitant on important matters related to his life and future, he thought clearly about such matters. Now he and
The King of Yan is a grasshopper on a rope. If King Yan succeeds in peace, he will be able to get back all his money. If King Yan fails, the best outcome for him is to go to Nanjing and make a living in the face of his nephew. Therefore, he
He took out all the money from his palace to make up for the military needs. However, these belongings, including the personal belongings of Prince Ning, his concubines, and their families, were all packed together and sent to Prince Yan's Mansion. They were sorting them out at the moment, and Xia Xun could only
Come and get it here.
※※※※※※※
In the palace where King Ning was settled, King Ning was writing at his desk. King Yan Zhu Di was standing aside, writing brushes and ink to his brothers.
Ning Wang's pen did not stop, like a dragon and a snake, and a beautiful chapter was written in a moment. Zhu Quan put down the brush and put it aside, with a slightly proud look on his face. King Yan Zhu Di lifted up the calligraphy he had just written and blew
I picked up the dripping ink and held it in my hand to look at it carefully: "Li said: "The hatred between the king and the father is irreconcilable, and the hatred between the brothers will not be counterattacked." Today, I, Taizu Gao, Prince Gao, will not avenge the king and his relatives.
Huh?
I have always remembered my father’s existence. Because the spring and autumn are high, I call all the kings to come to the court once or twice every year. My father said to the kings: “The reason why I call all your sons to come to see you once or twice every year.
Why? I am old and worried about the possibility of illness. I cannot see you. How can I not know the toil of crawling back and forth?" My father is still in such good health. Since I have been ill for a long time, how can I not come and summon me?
Zi Jian also...
The ritual said: "If you are sick and drink medicine, your ministers will taste it first. If you are sick and drink medicine, your son will taste it first." Today, Yi is the son of his father, and he is entrusted to Yan. He goes to Beijing three thousand miles away and goes to Hajj every year.
The horse can only travel for seven days. Since my father has been ill for a long time, why don't people come to report it? So that when I see my father, I can know what the disease is and what medicine to use, so that I can fulfill the courtesy of a son. How can a father be ill and not let the son know about it?
?How can anyone be a son and not know that his father is ill? Is there any country in the world where there is no father and son? Is it evil? Those who do not have the courtesy of father and son are not human beings!
Emperor Kuang's father died before the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, and he was buried at Yinshi. I don't know why he was so quick. The ceremony said: "I will be buried in three days, and I will wait for his resurrection." Isn't it etiquette to not be buried in one day? In ancient times, it was like this.
, from the emperor to the common people, how can there be a father who dies but the son does not know about it? How can there be a father who dies but the son cannot go to the funeral? After more than one month, the prince and the world will know about it. If so, my parents and children will be the same as the common people.
I don’t know why my father, Huang Zigong, was buried in seven days, or why he was buried so quickly? The ceremony said: “The emperor was buried in the seventh month.” He will be buried in seven days, how about the ceremony? Now the edict says: “The father and son of the common people of Yan
, How can you bury your father with the courtesy of a common man? "Can it be mourning!"
Zhu Di praised: "Wonderful, wonderful, our good nephew keeps saying benevolence, justice, loyalty and forgiveness, and being most benevolent and filial. Is this filial piety? Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng pay attention to the word etiquette in everything. Is this in line with etiquette? Brothers have a pen, like a gun.
Halberd, every word attacks the heart!"
Zhu Quan laughed and said: "Fourth brother is ridiculous. Fourth brother, please say this: Confucius said: "The father is watching his ambitions, and the father is dead watching his actions. If you do not change your father's ways for three years, you can be called filial."
Human beings behave evilly, deceive with clever words, and confuse the ancestral laws. The imperial preface of "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" says: "All my descendants, who accept my orders, do not be clever and mess with my ancestral laws."
It cannot be changed! The treacherous minister Qi Tai and others did not abide by the laws of the ancestors and committed treachery. They are so rebellious and unethical. How should they be punished!"
Prince Ning had just moved into Prince Yan's Mansion. He didn't have time to take care of everything, and he didn't care about many rules for a while. Shan Ning was waiting aside. She became more and more angry, turned around angrily, and walked out of the palace. When she came, Yan
The king is a king, and King Ning is also a king. King Ning is especially stronger than King Yan, so there is no need to grovel and act like a swordsman in front of others. King Ning is not ashamed, but she is full of humiliation.
When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw that Xia Xun had received the order from King Yan and made a deal with the steward of Prince Ning's Mansion. The steward had been ordered by Prince Ning and the order was correct, so he took him to carry the property. Xia Xun brought several people over.
They were the members of the Flying Dragon Secret Agent that he selected from the army, and they would move back the selected belongings.
Xia Xun's secret espionage agency has the functions of both an intelligence agency and a special force. It can spy on the enemy, assassinate enemy chiefs, and monitor internal military movements. After all, a large number of officials came to the imperial court, and their loyalty has yet to be tested. In short, everything is extraordinary.
They all have to bear the responsibilities of regularity but the means of serving the war. Therefore, Xia Xun is an eclectic mix of talents of all kinds.
When Shan Ning arrived at Xia Xun, he couldn't help but walked over and sneered happily: "This is not Yang..., I'm sorry, I really don't know what you are doing next to the Yanwang Palace. Logically speaking.
He said, "Your Highness, King Yan, was able to successfully escape the border and bring back an army of 80,000 men. You have the greatest contribution. How come... you are not even a general?"
Xia Xun smiled, cupped his hands and said: "I have met the empress in humble position. What the empress said is that I am now at the side of the palace, that is, I am a low-level servant, doing some small things that other generals are not willing to do, charging into battle, I am not brave enough, so I will
Are you sending generals? I haven’t read the book of war. You know what you are doing, so I am very satisfied with my current position."
When Shan Ning heard what he said, he couldn't help but put on a pretty face and snorted coldly.
Xia Xun saw that his men had not finished moving the belongings, so he said to Shan Ning: "The empress has just entered the palace and hasn't settled down yet. How are you, Your Highness Prince Ning?"
Shan Ning said bitterly: "Okay, why not? Your Highness is so full of thoughts that he just wrote another message, which was highly appreciated by His Highness King Yan?"
Xia Xun stared deeply at Shan Ning, glanced around, and saw no one was around to listen to them, so he said seriously: "Mother, Xia Xun will leave Peiping tomorrow to go to the local area to raise food and grass for His Highness Prince Yan.
, I have something to say before leaving, I don’t know whether to say it or not.”
Shan Ning glanced at him in surprise and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Xia Xun said solemnly: "Empress, a hero can only be called a hero if he does what others cannot do. But those who do what others cannot do are all forced. If possible, who would be willing to do these things? Only those who become heroes can become heroes.
Suffering, His Highness Prince Ning is happy with ease, so what’s wrong with it? What does it mean to be ambitious? If possible, I would only be willing to accompany my beloved wife and son, under the fence of the fields. If possible, His Highness Prince Yan will also be his peacemaker.
Your Majesty, I don’t want to embark on this uncertain road.
Your Majesty is the wife of His Highness Prince Ning, and she is the woman who will accompany him throughout his life. Do you want your man to charge into battle all day long, and be afraid of him, or would you rather be with him day and night, loving each other? Your Majesty, I know, the children on the grassland worship them
A hero, because a man who is not strong cannot protect his people, wife and children, and his family will not be able to survive in the event of a natural disaster. He must be a strong man. But His Highness Prince Ning does not need to be like this, right? Heroes are for
Those who worship are not meant to live together."
Shan Ning felt moved after hearing this. His original angry expression disappeared, and his eyes fell into deep thought.
When Xia Xun saw that his men had already moved all their belongings, he bowed to Shan Ning and said, "This is all Xia Xun said. I hope the empress will think twice and say goodbye."
Shan Ning was still standing there, the sun shining on her pretty figure, making it dazzling. She silently followed Xia Xun away, without moving even a step for a long time...
