There was a big fuss over the East City Gate, and almost everyone in the capital knew about it, including the palace. Even in the morning, when officials mentioned this matter, they received mixed reviews. Naturally, the positive opinion was with the Ninth Prince.
The people on this side absolutely resolutely and unconditionally support this. But the other side points out that this trip will hurt the foundation of the two countries. After all, the person being hanged is Princess Zongsui. This trip can easily cause conflicts between the two countries.
war. And the most injured people in war are innocent people. It is not a good thing for any country.
But there was still something to answer on the side. Right Prime Minister Feng Qing told people: "The new king of Zong Sui came to power, but he was forced to take the throne. When he took office, he expressed his unwillingness to surrender to me, Dashun. In such a country, what else can we talk about the two sides?
The foundation of the country?”
"But after all, Zong Sui didn't take the initiative to send troops!"
"Is it possible that Dashun has to wait until the opponent sends troops before Dashun can consider passively counterattacking?" Xuan Tianming said coldly: "It was like this in Qianzhou, like this in ancient Shu, and if Zong Sui continues to act like this, how can Dashun have any dignity left?
"
"What does His Highness Ninth Prince mean, is Dashun going to take the initiative to start a war against Zong Sui?" Some officials panicked, "Finally, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, but now we have to start a war again, which will not only waste people and money, but also mess up the people's hearts! That Zong Sui
If you don’t want to become a foreign country, let them be independent. We in Dashun don’t lack their annual tribute. As long as the country is safe and peaceful, that’s fine!”
Xuan Tianming stared at these old guys with a look of disdain on his face, "Has the peace and prosperity made your life so nourishing? That you don't even have the courage to exercise the rights of the master country when you encounter rebellion and provocation from the foreign country?"
"As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly, "What scares a country is not that someone will cause trouble, but that there will be such negative emotions in the court. You people are not worthy of being my ministers of great obedience."
As soon as he said this, the old ministers became nervous again, and they all guessed what the ninth prince meant. But before they could figure it out, they heard the sixth prince, who was responsible for supervising the country, speak from above the main hall.
He said: "Your Majesty is right. It is not terrible to cause rebellion, and it is even less terrible to force the emperor to take the throne. I am afraid that the hearts of the king and ministers will be shaken by you, and the hearts of the people will also be made negative by you. One day, we will look forward to great success.
, no one dares to confront the foreign enemy, everyone is holding on to their luck and holding on to their homeland. If the foreign enemy rebels and cedes territory, then the country will be destroyed." With regret on his face, he looked at the old ministers who raised objections and was silent for a long time.
, and finally said: "I, the great obedient, will not defend the world by giving in, and I, the great obedient, will not bow to any party. If you refute the true nature of the country, I, the great obedient, shake my heart, it is really inappropriate for you to appear in the court again."
superior."
After a few words, he went directly to the positions of these ministers. Then everyone understood that Dashun's attack on Zong Sui was already a certainty, and it could not be decided by someone's words.
Later, Xuan Tianming took the initiative to ask for help. After the eve of the lunar month, that is, on the morning of August 16th, the troops set off to the east to Pingzong and the Sui Dynasty. No one raised any questions.
At that time, Feng Yuheng was chatting with her mother-in-law at Prince Chun's Mansion. Ever since Xiangrong disappeared, Concubine Yun had been in a bad mood. She especially blamed herself because she was the one who urged Xiangrong to walk around the street to relax.
, she felt that what happened to Xiang Rong had something to do with her.
Feng Yuheng persuaded and said: "Concubine, I don't blame you for this. What is supposed to come will come. That Zong Sui's princess misses Brother Qi for more than a day or two. Let's think about it from another angle. Zong Sui is secretly doing this.
, we are in the dark, if the unexpected thing hadn't happened this time, I'm afraid they wouldn't have appeared. The day we can't find them, the more potential crises there will be. Now that the snake has come out of the hole, it's better than being in the dark.
It needs to be easy to fight."
Even though she said this, Concubine Yun's self-blame still did not lessen. Feng Yuxing didn't know how to persuade her, so she could only accompany her silently, telling her about things in the palace and about Emperor Tianwu from time to time. But Yun Yuxing didn't know what to say.
The concubine didn't care about Emperor Tianwu's affairs and just listened without expressing any opinions.
After leaving Prince Chun's Mansion, she went to the east of the city, went to the lower part of the city wall and looked at Yu Qianyin who was still hanging for a while, then dismounted and climbed up to the top of the city defense.
Wang Zhuo was also on duty here today. When he saw her coming, he hurried forward and said, "Princess, when I was feeding the princess water just now, she said in a hoarse voice that she wanted to see you and that she had something important to say."
Yu Qianyin wanted to say something to her, and Feng Yuheng was not surprised. She had been hanging for two and a half days, and if she didn't say something, she might not have the chance. She still didn't believe that Zong Sui's people would ignore the princess.
, it’s just that she didn’t want to let him go until the last moment. She could only control her for half a day, and the other party would definitely take action. She had already paid attention to the movements in the city. This was the best time to attack the other party’s lair.
Of course, in addition to this, there was one more thing in her mind. It would be bad if something happened to Rong, but she was kidnapped while following Feng Fendai out. She didn't believe it was a coincidence, and she was even more worried about Feng Fendai's sudden appearance.
Xian Xiangrong had reservations. When will the children of the Feng family remember the deep love between sisters?
She walked to the middle of the city wall and faced the place where Yu Qianyin was hung. She stood with her elbows on the wall. She looked at Yu Qianyin with a smile and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, have you decided to tell me where your stronghold is?"
Yu Qianyin stared at her, her half-broken face looked like a ghost. This was because Feng Yuheng was a doctor and had seen all kinds of wounds. Otherwise, if it were an ordinary woman, she would be disgusted to the point of vomiting. Yu Qianyin hated it.
Feng Yuheng, she hated her a few years ago, and now she hates her even more. She is now full of hope that her troops will appear soon and rescue her. She has to wait for more than two days. Sometimes in autumn, she
She was a little desperate under the sun, feeling that her own people had abandoned her. But at night, when the weather cooled down and her mind cleared up, she felt that it was not possible. After all, she was a princess. If something happened to her, there was nothing those people could do if they returned to Zong Sui.
explain.
Right now, Feng Yuheng was right in front of her. She wanted to go up and tear Feng Yuheng's face apart, but unfortunately, she couldn't reach it. Even if she could, she wouldn't have the ability. Feng Yuheng was too powerful, she
He couldn't beat them at all, so he could only say harshly: "You have a beautiful idea! I will never tell you where they are, unless they show up on their own, otherwise, if I die, your sister will also follow me.
Buried with him!"
"Oh!" Feng Yuheng nodded, "For a civilian girl to be buried with the princess of a country, that is also her blessing."
Yu Qianyin was blocked by one sentence, so that the hanging man subconsciously asked again: "Do you really not care about your sister's life or death?"
Feng Yuheng shook his head, "It's not that I don't care, but I know that she won't die. Yu Qianyin, put away your luck. How about we make a bet? Tonight, your people will definitely take me with you."
The people you want all appear under this city wall, and then put a knife on their necks and ask me to let you go?"
Yu Qianyin's eyes lit up, but when he saw Feng Yuheng's unattractive look, he asked in confusion: "The knife is placed on your neck, why can't you see that you are even a little anxious?"
"What should I be anxious about?" Feng Yuheng chuckled, "Yu Qianyin, believe it or not, as long as I see them, I can save them. No matter how fast their knives are, they can't be faster than my actions.
, even if I am so high and so far away from them."
Her words reminded Yu Qianyin of something. During the Zong Sui Dynasty, he heard that when Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng attacked ancient Shu, they used something called sky thunder and a long-range shooting object, which was better than the shooting weapon.
It is much easier to use. It is said to be called a gun. It can hit people between the eyebrows from a long distance, and the speed is a hundred times faster than an arrow.》≠》≠》≠》≠,
Her body trembled, and she suddenly realized that she was actually hopeless. They just wanted to use her to lure people out. She never thought about any exchange. She was just waiting for those people to show up. And she
, he is still here dreaming of being rescued. With such a weapon in hand, who will Dashun be afraid of?
Yu Qianyin was unwilling to give in. She looked at Feng Yuheng and said fiercely: "I can't fight you, you are indeed powerful. But Feng Yuheng, you also have your failures. Did you know that I could successfully capture Feng Xiangrong?
Who do you rely on?"
"It depends on Feng Fendai." Feng Yuheng answered quickly and also had her own analysis. "You want to say that my failure is that everyone betrayed me. The sisters of the Feng family were not of the same mind as me, and even took the initiative to harm themselves.
"Family, right?" She shook her head as she spoke, "Yu Qianyin, you don't need to use this to provoke, not to mention that Feng Fendai and I don't have any sisterhood in the first place. Even if we do, when you use Xiaobao as a threat
Under the premise, how can I fall out with her? In anything, there is always a wrongdoer and a debtor. I, Feng Yuheng, am not a fool, and I don’t have the leisure to be led by your nose. Let me tell the truth, no matter what you do this time
There is no possibility of living anymore, just keep hanging until your people show up, and I will give you a happy life. If your people never show up, I will cut off your food and water, and you will be hanged until the end."
Feng Yuheng's words made Yu Qianyin despair, and the inevitable fate replayed in her mind over and over again, so much so that by the time it got dark, she was not quite clear-headed and would cry sometimes.
Laughing, one moment begging Feng Yuheng for mercy, the other moment he cursed her.
But Feng Yuheng turned a blind eye to this, and only sat on the city wall chatting with the soldiers. Wangchuan Huangquan also went to the teahouse under the city to order good tea, and even opened a table for dinner on the city wall.
Watching Yu Qianyin eat it made him collapse even more.
Xuan Tianming went to the camp after going to court today. Since the troops were ordered to go out at 16 o'clock on August 16, there must be arrangements at the camp. Someone had long told him that Feng Yuheng was arrogant on the east city wall, but he
He just smiled slightly, with a face of doting, and said the same words as Xuan Tianhua: "Okay! Even if that girl pokes a hole in the sky, I will help her fill it up later. Even if
If it can’t be repaired, even if the sky falls, I will hold it up for her. It’s okay, just let her play!”
When night fell completely, Xuan Tianhua came to the East City Tower to accompany her. Facts proved that Feng Yuheng's guess was correct. At three o'clock that night, a group of people appeared under the East City Wall. And they were killed by that group.
There were also three people escorting them. When Feng Yuheng looked down, she saw Feng Xiangrong and Xiaobao first, and then the other one. After seeing it, even she couldn't help but grin.
