After King Cheng finished speaking, he inexplicably felt that his head on his shoulders had grown bigger again, and his ears seemed to recall his father's instructions to him before he died.
"You can't be too arrogant, you can't save face, and you can't help others take the blame even if you don't agree with them."
The clan recommended him to be the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, and he knew it was because he was big-headed and willing to take the blame.
Now it's better, when people sit at home, the accusation of rebellion will come to them.
"Let's go, I don't want to see you again." King Cheng began to drive away Prince Shunyang.
Prince Shunyang's pit has been dug and filled with soil. Whether he dies or not depends on him. King Cheng suddenly felt sad when he thought of this.
"I will stay and help you," Prince Shunyang said. "This is a big deal. Only when I send you to the capital can I feel at ease."
Cheng Wang said: "Then what?"
Prince Shunyang licked his lips: "Then I have to go find Prince Ning."
King Cheng nodded. Seeing that he was not the only one left at the bottom of the pit unable to climb out, King Ning must have been more miserable than him. That boy was as timid as a mouse and had to suffer every day. Thinking of this, King Cheng no longer felt so uncomfortable.
Already.
"You'd better go to Prince Ning first," King Cheng said, "He needs you more than me. At this time, I won't be polite. We are all friends of life and death, and we feel the same pain."
"Really?" Prince Shunyang looked at King Cheng in surprise.
"After all, I am Lord Zongzhengji. I need to take responsibility at this time. You go ahead!"
Prince Shunyang was actually a little moved when he saw Cheng Wang's appearance.
"Take care," Prince Shunyang said with cupped hands, "I hope everyone is safe and sound."
Looking at the back of Prince Shunyang, King Cheng sighed. If he was still alive after this battle, he would find a few people to find Prince Shunyang to settle the score.
…
Wang Shi headed to the capital in mighty force, but met the Zhang family's troops on the way.
Zhang Yuchi had spent many years recuperating his strength in northern Xinjiang. He had a very impressive cavalry team, and for a moment the king's commander was unable to do anything about him.
The emperor was furious. If the Zhang family had spent all their energy on the northern frontier, how could they be defeated by the Tatars?
"You can't even deal with a small cavalry." The emperor was furious.
The soldiers in the tent bowed their heads one after another.
Marquis Rongping stepped forward and said: "The horses used by the Zhang family's cavalry are the best in the Zhou Dynasty."
The emperor's forehead tightened: "Is Master Wang's horse inferior to the Zhang family's?"
Marquis Rongping said: "Many of the Zhang family's horses are from Tatars. We use all official horses from the imperial court. The official horses look strong and strong, and they will tell the difference immediately when they go to the battlefield."
The officials and horses of Zhou Dynasty were so useless. The emperor said: "Do you mean to say that the capital cannot be recaptured in a short while?"
Marquis Rongping looked ugly, unless he attacked the capital with all his strength, but that was the capital of Zhou Dynasty. What would be the consequences of attacking the capital at such a time?
The entire tent fell into silence.
The emperor's eyes were getting redder and redder. It had been many years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, and he could not be the emperor who was blocked from the capital. Such a shame would never be washed away in his lifetime.
"Attack the capital with all your strength," the emperor said, "and take back the capital at all costs."
Marquis Rongping said in surprise: "The Tatars are right in front of us. Should we slow down for a moment? First..."
The emperor looked at Marquis Rongping: "Only by stabilizing the internal affairs of the Zhou Dynasty can we deal with the Tatars." If the Zhang family continues like this, his throne will be unstable. These days, fewer and fewer soldiers and horses come to escort him from various guards. Many people are
Watching the fire from the other side.
If he can no longer take down the Zhang family, where will his dignity as an emperor remain?
King Cheng still wanted to persuade.
"No need to say any more," the emperor said with an angry face, "If it weren't for your disadvantage in the battle, I would not have made such a determination. When the officials in the capital see that I am here in good order, they will rebel against the Zhang family together."
King Cheng came out of the tent and looked at the sky with his hands. In the end, the emperor still chose this way. He was too obsessed with the throne in the palace. It seemed that only by sitting in that position could he hold Dazhou in his hands.
Everything is cause and effect. The things the late emperor did only taught the emperor how to keep an eye on the throne, but they did not teach him how to govern the country.
At that time, Taizu was not even an emperor, not even a noble, but he had the courage to fight for the people. In the previous dynasty, he had been sitting on the throne. What would happen in the end?
King Cheng finally figured out one thing. Since the emperor had stopped doing what he should do, why should he have trouble with himself?
…
The emperor sat on his horse and watched the army move forward.
After this battle, I don’t know what the capital will be like, but everything will be worth it.
About half an hour later, Zhai Song hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, something doesn't seem right with King Cheng."
The emperor couldn't help but frowned: "What happened to King Cheng?"
"King Cheng's troops suddenly changed direction. Instead of attacking the city, they bypassed the capital and headed north."
The emperor's eyes widened with a look of astonishment on his face: "What did you say?"
"King Cheng... he led his troops north... and left here." Zhai Song said again tremblingly.
"Qiang" The emperor drew out the long sword from his waist. Zhai Song felt the cold light coming towards him. He closed his eyes subconsciously. He was also afraid that the emperor would attack him in anger.
The sword in the emperor's hand trembled: "What are you still doing? Bring King Cheng back to me." After saying this, the emperor felt a pain in his chest and could hardly breathe.
At such a time, King Cheng actually betrayed him. He dared to do this.
He had been gone for half an hour, and it was impossible to chase him back. Zhai Song swallowed: "Your Majesty, let's think about what to do next. I'm afraid Zhang Yuchi has also gotten the news. Wei Chen is afraid that the Zhang family will take advantage of this opportunity.
Come and attack, Your Majesty’s safety is of paramount importance.”
As soon as Zhai Song finished speaking, he heard a commotion in front of him, and then someone said: "The soldiers and horses of the Zhang family are attacking."
King Cheng suddenly left with half of the king's army, and the situation suddenly fell into chaos. The king's army collapsed and some people began to run away.
Seeing such a scene, the emperor's eyes seemed to be on fire.
"If you become king, I will kill him." A rush of blood rushed to his head, and the emperor's vision blurred for an instant, and he almost fell off his horse.
"Why is this happening?" The emperor didn't understand why he ended up in this situation.
"Your Majesty," Yu Jiang stepped forward and said, "I will protect your Majesty from here before making any further arrangements, so as not to let the Zhang family take advantage of the chaos."
The emperor stood there motionless.
Song Chengxuan rebelled, the Zhang family rebelled, the Tatars invaded, and now Prince Liancheng rebelled, where else could he go?
"Let's go to Fengyang," Yu Jiang said. "There are still imperial soldiers and horses stationed in Fengyang. Let's move the Fengyang garrison into the Wang Division and plan for the funeral."
The emperor's eyes were still distracted. Yu Jiang made up his mind and immediately ordered the people around him: "Let's go, protect the emperor and leave first."
…
King Cheng led his troops and horses all the way to the north. Soon after, he saw a few figures standing not far away. He couldn't help but feel happy. At this moment, the long-standing burden was finally put down.
Finally he found them, he was like a lost man who had stumbled around for so long and finally found his way back.
King Cheng said: "Fight the enemy with King Wei, drive out the Tatars, and protect the people of Zhou Dynasty. Even if you die, you will have no regrets. This is what Master Wang should do."
