Lin Jue's brows were furrowed, his hands twisted the riding whip into a knot, and his teeth clenched loudly. He looked really scary.
Wanyan Mingyue looked at Lin Jue and panicked in her heart. She shouted in a low voice: "Husband, husband, don't be angry. Mingyue is sorry for you. Everything is my fault. Please don't be angry. I'm hurt."
body."
Lin Jue looked at Wanyan Mingyue, slowly shook his head and said: "How could this be your fault? It was my fault that I met you on Snake Island. Otherwise, what happened today would not have happened. There is nothing wrong between you and me."
Fate, how can a bad fate have a positive result? It doesn’t matter, it’s good to end this bad fate. Your brother knows my weakness, he knows that I will compromise for Nian’er. I admit that this is my weakness, I am too treating you.
Okay, so that you use my kindness to you to coerce me. Hey, this world is indeed cruel and ruthless people should live more freely. It took me a long time to understand this. It's not your fault. It's not your fault.
It’s just up to me.”
Wanyan Mingyue slowly knelt down, hugged Lin Nian and kowtowed to Lin Jue, and said sadly: "Husband, don't say that, it makes Mingyue feel ashamed. Mingyue's respect and love for her husband can be seen from the sun and moon, and Mingyue wishes she could stay here forever.
I serve my husband, even if it means working as a cow or a horse. However, the sky does not go as I wish, and Mingyue is a miserable person, so I encountered the situation in front of me. Husband, if it were you, how should you choose? Of course I
I can follow my husband regardless, pretending not to know anything, and not taking care of anything. But...if my entire clan is destroyed by others, and hundreds of thousands of my clan members are bullied and oppressed, can I still feel at ease in this life? Mingyue knows.
Today I am suspected of persecuting my husband, and I am unjust first. But...other than that, is there any other way I can do? If there is any other way, please husband, please teach me, even if it means Mingyue must die.
It’s all done.”
Lin Jue said slowly: "Do you know? What I hate most is that others coerce me, and it is my woman who plots against me. I can spare the Jurchens, but you should not use this method to plot against me. You
Before that brother died, he wanted to show off to me, and he really refused to repent. And you, hey! I don’t know what to say. Your move really hit my weakness, and I had to agree to you. That’s fine, just do it.
It's okay to spare these Jurchens, but you have to agree to a few conditions."
Wanyan Mingyue was in great pain. She had already heard the hint of breakup from Lin Jue's tone. She did not feel relieved or happy because Lin Jue agreed to her request. She knew that she was probably going to lose Lin Jue. This
It made her both painful and frightened.
"First, you must leave the territory of Dazhou within three days. From the moment you leave, if a Jurchen sets foot in our territory of Dazhou without permission, I will regard you as having evil intentions. Once there,
When the time comes, I will kill my relatives out of justice and punish them severely. Can you agree?" Lin Jue shouted coldly.
Wanyan Mingyue nodded with tears and cried: "I...I promise."
"Second, after you Jurchens return to your tribe, you must stay in your own land and no more military expansion is allowed. Even if it is the land of the Liao people, you are not allowed to covet it. In short,
I will not tolerate any ambitions from you. Your troops are not allowed to exceed 30,000. If you want to expand by one more person, you will be ruthlessly attacked by our troops.
Of course, you don't have to worry about the Liao people. We, the Zhou Dynasty, will settle the Liao people's debts with them. You only need to retain the ability to protect yourself. From now on, put away your fangs and don't have the slightest thought. Otherwise,
, it will be the disaster of annihilation. Can you agree?"
"Promise! I promise!" Wanyan Mingyue cried.
"Third, after you return to your tribe, you must surrender to me, the Great Zhou, and become a vassal state of my Great Zhou. I, the Great Zhou, will have the right to mobilize your troops to fight. This is your chance to forgive your sins. If you
If you can agree, it shows that you sincerely change your ways. You have surrendered to Dazhou and sincerely worked for Dazhou, so Dazhou has a reason to forgive you. Otherwise, how can this bloody feud, which has killed millions of soldiers and civilians, be resolved?" Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
road.
Wanyan Mingyue gritted her teeth and said, "Just do everything as your husband says."
Lin Jue nodded, took a breath, and said in a deep voice: "These three conditions just now are the conditions between me, in the name of the Grand Marshal of the Zhou Dynasty, and you, the actual leader of the Jurchen tribe. Now I want to
Your husband and Nian'er's father want to say a few words to you. Listen carefully."
Wanyan Mingyue hurriedly wiped her tears and nodded, standing silently and listening. Lin Jue stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the desolate mountains under the sun and the ruin-like city in the distance. He pondered for a long time and said softly: "Actually, you don't have to use Nian'er as a bargaining chip.
If you threaten me, even if you are the leader of the Jurchens, I will not kill you. After all, you and I are married, and you have suffered a lot and worried a lot for me. If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have
He died in the hands of your brother a long time ago. So, even for you, I can only spare your people. I could have asked Nian'er to come over and let you leave alone with your people. But... I
If I do that, it seems unfair to you. You are Nian'er's mother, and without Nian'er, I'm afraid you won't live long, so I will leave Nian'er to you to raise."
Wanyan Mingyue was filled with fear. Yes, if Lin Jue insists on handing over Nian'er before letting his people go, then how should he make a decision? Nian'er is all his sustenance, and he can still survive without Nian'er.
Is it possible to survive? Fortunately, her husband did not do that. Even now, he is not unkind to her. This makes Wanyan Mingyue feel extremely guilty and painful.
"However, Nian'er is left to you, but you must promise me to teach him well. I want him to read the books of our southerners and learn the principles of our Zhou Dynasty. I will not allow you to let him become a barbarian. You
You must teach him to govern your Jurchen tribe well and change the appearance of your Jurchen tribe. Can you agree?" Lin Jue asked.
"Don't worry, husband, Nian'er is your son. He is from the Great Zhou Dynasty. I will naturally teach him well so that he will not embarrass you." Wanyan Mingyue said.
Lin Jue nodded, squinted at the child who was still sleeping soundly in Wanyan Mingyue's arms, and breathed out, "I'll leave Nian'er to you. I hope he will be an upright man in the future. At the same time, he will also be someone who understands righteousness and general principles."
A good man. Unlike his father, who has so many shortcomings that others can exploit his weaknesses."
"Husband..." Wanyan Mingyue cried out sadly.
Lin Jue waved his hands and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, you go ahead. I originally wanted to divorce you with a divorce letter, but I was afraid that someone would scold me in the future for Nian'er being a person without a father. I am a father to some extent.
I can support him. As long as I am here, who can do anything to him? However, as for you, you have lost my trust in you. Is that jade pendant still there? On Snake Island, I said
However, if you come here with that jade pendant, no matter what you ask me for, I will promise you. Today, I will fulfill my promise. Please return the jade pendant to me, I have already fulfilled my promise."
Wanyan Mingyue stood blankly for a long time, then reached out and took out the half of the jade pendant from her arms, but refused to throw it away. Lin Jue sighed and said: "You can keep it, but it is useless. You go ahead, and I will restrain you from now on."
Folks, live a good life."
Wanyan Mingyue burst into tears and said sadly: "Husband, will there ever be a day when we can meet again?"
Lin Jue turned around and walked to the side of the five-flowered horse, got on the horse, and shouted in a deep voice: "It is better not to see each other than not to see each other. What will happen if we do? If you can obey my instructions, restrain your people well, and raise Nian'er wholeheartedly.
Adulthood is the best ending for this bad relationship between you and me. And I hereby swear that from today on, I, Lin Jue, will never be coerced by anyone, and I will never think about the kindness of women again. I now
Only then did I understand why my teacher, Mr. Fang Dunru, was so harsh on the people around him. Because if you want to help people in the world, you have to become a person who does not recognize the six emotions in the eyes of the world. But in fact, in his heart, he treats those around him
People’s love for others is no less than anyone else’s. That is the painful dilemma of a person with a righteous mind. And I, unfortunately, have to go down this road.”
After Lin Jue said this, he turned his horse's head and galloped away with his whip raised. Wanyan Mingyue hugged Lin Nian and fell to the ground, crying bitterly.
Three days later, the 20,000 defeated Jurchen troops withdrew from the northeastern territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty and crossed the Sanggan River toward Liaodong. The joint southern invasion of the Jurchens and Liao people that lasted for nearly eight months finally came to an end.
Although it only lasted for seven or eight months, for the people of the world, it undoubtedly experienced a nightmare-like catastrophe. In just seven or eight months, the Third Northeast Road of Dazhou was almost reduced to scorched earth.
There were more than one million military and civilian casualties, millions more people were displaced, and hundreds of cities were destroyed by the war. The Great Zhou Dynasty also experienced great turmoil. Emperor Guo Xu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Lu Zhongtian, who only served as emperor for one day, both died in this war.
In the midst of the catastrophe, the originally peaceful people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were finally trampled by the sudden sound of iron hoofs to crush their sweet dreams. They finally understood that the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty had become corrupt to such an extent that it was on the verge of collapse at the push of others.
For the invaders, the final outcome was unacceptable. The Jurchen and Liao coalition forces invested nearly 600,000 people. They once triumphantly reached Bianliang, but in the end they were defeated with only 20,000 remaining soldiers.
Fortunately, they survived. Almost all the young people in the Liao Kingdom and the Jurchens were killed and injured, and their financial resources and supplies were completely empty. Especially the Liao Kingdom, which originally had a strong national power, has now become a mere illusion. As for the Jurchens, they
The great leader died on the way to conquer the world, everything was in vain, and they had to return to their white mountains and black waters again, which was obtained at the cost of their Golden Flower Princess losing her happiness.
This in itself is a great frustration for them.
Things in the world are like chess, and the wind and clouds are turbulent. Everything is like an arrangement in the dark, but everything is out of the control of the torrent. In this parallel world, everything has undergone tremendous changes.
