Ankangshan wore a specially made and spacious uniform for the military governor, with filial piety on his head and body.
Of course, this filial piety was not for the adopted son An Shouzhong, but for the late emperor's noble concubine and the prince.
After entering Beijing, Ankangshan went to the imperial mausoleum to cry for the late emperor and vowed to be a mourner for the late emperor's concubine and prince.
"Unless I kill the rebellious ministers and traitors, I won't get rid of them."
Now he did not kill the rebellious ministers and traitors, but his beloved adopted son was also killed by the rebellious ministers and traitors. Ankangshan sat on the ground crying and could not get up.
It was not that he was too sad to sit on the chair. He originally had a few chairs in the palace, but in recent months, the ministers responded to the people's voice and asked him to ascend the throne. Ankangshan flatly refused, so the ministers stole his several chairs and hid them.
, to force him to sit on the throne.
Ankangshan was frightened, angry and helpless and cried, so he simply sat on the floor.
"When I first arrived in Fanyang, I went to a barbarian banquet and was poisoned. I crawled and crawled in the mud pit, but the wild boar picked me up and carried me out."
"I was timid and wanted to go back to the capital to guard the late emperor and the imperial concubine and never leave. The wild boar hugged my leg and asked me if I didn't want to get rid of these barbarians for His Majesty and make great achievements, so I decided to stay in Fanyang."
"I calmed down Fan Yang and Pinglu. The wild boar is responsible for this."
Ankangshan sat on the ground crying until he couldn't breathe, slapping his fat body.
"My son was also fat originally, but because he was afraid that it would be inconvenient to take care of me, he starved himself and lost weight."
The ministers in the palace also started to cry: "Young Master Shouzhong was a hero of Daxia, so he was harmed by the rebellious ministers and traitors."
So everyone came forward to request again.
"Great Governor, please hurry up and inherit the late emperor's wishes and ascend the throne, bring order to the chaos, and kill these rebellious officials and traitors."
"These rebellious officials and traitors are using the name of the imperial court. If the governor does not ascend the throne, they will not be able to call on the world to bring order to the chaos."
As they spoke, they were about to lift Ankang Mountain up to the dragon throne.
Ankangshan waved his hands in panic: "How could I, how could I."
"Captain, you are the late emperor's most trusted person and the adopted son of the imperial concubine. If you can't do it, who can?"
"Captain, the Crown Prince also said before he died that he would entrust Daxia to you. The Crown Princess can bear witness to this."
Everyone rushed in and tried their best to lift Ankang Mountain, but a eunuch hurried in.
"Captain, it's not good, the princess hanged herself."
The noise in the palace suddenly disappeared, the ministers looked at each other, and anger also appeared on the face of the grieving Ankangshan.
Most of the people in the palace followed Cui Zhengwu Ya'er to Linzhou. The prince was seriously ill and could not go, so the princess voluntarily stayed with him. The prince passed away soon, and the princess has been hiding in the imperial mausoleum.
A few days ago, Ankangshan asked the Crown Princess to come forward and say that the Crown Prince entrusted Daxia to Ankang Mountain before his death. Now the Crown Princess has given an answer.
Ankang Mountain, supported by ministers, is like a mountain of flesh. It seems weak and powerless, but as long as you raise your hands and feet, it can overwhelm everyone.
The eunuch who was selected to report lay on the ground without raising his head, waiting for the verdict of life or death.
There was a slight fluff of clothes in the hall, which was someone shivering.
I don’t know how many times the ministers in the palace have changed. Many people walked out today and will not be able to come in tomorrow. The reason why they cannot come in is also very simple. The whole family has disappeared from the capital.
At this time, no one in the capital cares about the disappearance of the family, not the people, and even less the government.
If they want not to disappear and continue to stand in this hall, they must solve problems for Ankang Mountain.
"Captain." Someone knelt down and cried loudly, "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess was in despair when she heard that Master Shouzhong died. Commander, we cannot delay any longer."
With him taking the lead, people on the ground suddenly fell to their knees, some crying and some shouting angry.
"The thieves are so powerful that even Lord Shouzhong is dead now. The princess is very disheartened."
"Captain, for the sake of the common people in the world, we cannot delay any longer."
Those who did not fall to their knees helped Ankangshan up again and sent him to the dragon throne. Ankangshan, who had been chased by ministers in the past, did not move at this time.
"My son was killed, and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess was also frightened to death. If they are not allowed to rest in peace, how can I comfort the people of the world." He said, "What qualifications do I have to shoulder your majesty's trust?"
Everyone in the palace was sad.
"Without the Grand Governor, Daxia would be hopeless."
If Ankangshan cannot successfully ascend to the throne, they don't know how many more tomorrows they can see.
A general walked in from the outside, interrupted the weak and sad mood in the palace, and whispered a few words to Ankangshan. Ankangshan looked suddenly enlightened and sneered: "I knew that woman was not that powerful. She really came down to earth, but it was behind her back."
A trick."
The general said: "That Wu Ya'er hasn't returned to Xiangzhou yet."
"Capture Xiangzhou for me immediately." Ankangshan said bitterly, "If he kills my son, I will kill his son too."
Although those young ladies can endure the hardships of being in the army, they are young ladies after all. They always do some arrogant things. They have to eat, drink and wear clothes. They are very ostentatious in the army. There are a few more young men from the Wu family in Xiangzhou.
, Ankangshan soon found out.
It doesn't matter where these adopted children came from or what their relationship with Wu Ya'er is. As long as they carry the name of Wu Ya'er's adopted sons, killing them would be a slap in Wu Ya'er's face.
The general responded and turned around and walked away quickly.
The ministers who were as quiet and well-behaved as quails stepped forward, but Ankangshan stopped them and tried to persuade them again.
"Let the Crown Princess be buried first before we talk about anything else." He said, regaining his sadness, and looked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground, "The Crown Prince and Crown Princess have already gone, it is not good to lie alone in the imperial mausoleum, let those people
Go down and serve them."
Life and death were decided. This time he won the lucky draw and went out to deliver the message. He was not hacked to death. The one who died was the one who stayed in the imperial mausoleum to guard the crown prince.
The eunuch was overjoyed and kowtowed heavily on the ground in response.
Some people are happy and others are sad. That is when they are leisurely and when they are fighting on the battlefield. They have no emotions at all. They are neither sad in death nor happy in life.
The sound of fighting outside Xiangzhou City has been going on for two days.
Since taking Xiangzhou, this is the first time the rebels have fought back, and it was fierce and sudden.
"It's not sudden." Wang Li said while standing on the city wall, looking at the rebel flags all over the sky in the distance, "This matter must not be hidden from Ankang Mountain."
As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderous shout could be heard rolling in from the distance.
"Wu Ya'er is dead!"
"Wu Ya'er is dead!"
Although they had already expected it, the expressions of the generals still changed. It came too soon...
"Why hurry up? I have already said that it is impossible to come back." Wang Li said angrily, angry and sad, and his words were incoherent, "It's so far away, and besides, it's a wild boar cub, will he be injured? Even worse if he is injured.
He is slow, but he is neither an iron man nor a god!"
A thought even came to mind, could he really die?
He was affected by the shouts of the rebels, and other soldiers were even more affected. Standing on the city wall, he could clearly see fluctuations in the originally tight military formation.
After all, Wu Ya'er hasn't appeared for a long time.
The lights in the main camp are bright day and night, the generals and soldiers are coming and going, and the laughter of military discussions can make you pretend that the general is there when there is no war.
But during the battle, if the general doesn't show up, it makes people suspicious.
The general alone cannot kill all the rebels, but the general is the brains of thousands of troops. Once he is cut off, the army will be in disarray.
What to do now?
"Now we can only say that the crows are in other places, no matter what state." A general said.
Wang Li was annoyed: "You don't even believe it, why did you go to other states? What's the reason? A raid? Well, even if it was a raid, were they killed by the rebels during the raid? That's why the rebels invaded in large numbers?"
It seems that it is indeed more troublesome. The generals are a little helpless, but there is no other way now. Suddenly, shouts are heard under the city gate.
"My foster father is looking for goat's milk for me."
"He's not dead!"
Everyone was startled, and hurriedly leaned over to look, and saw a young man wearing light armor riding on a horse. He had a crossbow on his back and a knife in his hand. He looked no different from other soldiers, but under the light armor he
The brocade robe and delicate pink face are obviously different from those of the soldiers.
"Ah Xiao?" The generals recognized him at a glance and shouted with frowns.
On a daily basis, they hang out in the military camp. During the war, these children had to stay back to avoid causing trouble. Why did they escape?
Wu Xiao ignored the people on the city wall and waved the long knife in his hand towards the city gate: "Open the city gate, I want to fight the rebels."
What a joke! Wang Li and others were angry.
"Young Master Xiao, don't be ridiculous!" they shouted.
Wu Xiao raised his head and looked serious: "I'm not fooling around. My foster father is looking for goat milk for me. Of course I have to lead the army for my foster father." After that, he ordered the soldiers again, "Open the city gate."
The soldiers were hesitant. Although Wu Xiao was a child and had no official position, his status was that of a young master...
After hesitating, a soldier gritted his teeth and opened the city gate.
Several generals tried to stop them, but Wang Li held them down.
"He's right, it's most appropriate for him to go now." He said, looking at the young man running out with a knife under the city gate with a complicated expression, "His explanation is also the most appropriate."
These young masters were pampered in the army. The reason they were pampered was not that they were lazy and refused to train, but that they sometimes wanted to eat or drink. Wang Li was too lazy to pay attention to them, while Wu Ya'er was more talkative and always gave them what he could find.
"So, if the filial son wants to eat goat's milk, it is not impossible for the crow to find it for him." Wang Li said, "If the crow is not around, a son who leads the army can appease the soldiers."
The generals understood that this was indeed more reasonable, and although finding goat milk was strange, the chance of death from a surprise attack was small.
only......
"He is still a child." A general said.
You just turned ten this year, right?
Wang Lidao: "There are no children in troubled times, especially since he changed his surname to Wu."
The child surnamed Wu ran out of the city gate with a knife in hand and rushed towards the military formation in the distance.
The generals on the city wall watched him go away, and the children inside the city gate also watched him go.
The girls clasped their hands.
"He is the youngest." A girl couldn't help but said, "Do you really want him to go?"
Wu Xin said: "It is precisely because he is young that he is the most suitable, as he said himself."
I'm young and haven't practiced any good martial arts. I don't need to be able to lead troops at this time, as long as I can be a flag bearer.
If Xiangzhou City is lost, brothers Axin are good at practicing martial arts. Xiaowan and sisters can save lives and heal the wounded. You can hold the troops and wait for the return of the adoptive father. Even if the adoptive father does not return, you can still wait until the Chu State Lady sends someone.
If something happens to you, I won't be able to lead and defend these troops.
"Xiao Wan." Wu Xin looked at Xiao Wan standing behind him, "If A Xiao is injured, you must try your best to save him."
The hand holding the small bowl hanging by his side was tightly grasped, and he nodded vigorously.
For the first time, he regretted that he was not like his father.
If he was as cruel and ruthless as his father, his medical skills would be even better and he could save people even after they died.
