Summer is here in the Central Plains, but Luoyan City is still very cool, and Juicong has returned to Anyang.
Jiang Heng has not yet found it, this is the only variable, and it is also a thorn in Juicong's heart.
What will it do? When Geng Shu was burned to death that day, where did the poisonous smoke coming from the ground come from
When Ju Cong thought of the changes in Anyang, he was faintly frightened. Now, he is standing in front of the huge platform of Anyang Palace, facing this slowly recovering city. After occupying the capital of King Liang, the Yong people moved in one after another from outside the customs, bringing the dead city back to life again.
The accident that day happened right under his nose. What happened to Geng Shu? Was the firewood soaked in poison? Juicong thought about it, there was only one possibility. The only explanation is that the Ying people expected that the Yong army would risk their lives and come to save Geng Shu, and the poisonous smoke ignited at that time could kill people thousands of paces away.
It's just that they are not as good as the sky, and they underestimated the lethality of the poisonous smoke, and the 100,000 army died in the wind.
This was a lesson given to Juicong by God in advance, reminding him not to pack an army full of troops into the same city.
Lu Jizeng said to him that it is best to avoid Anyang for the location of Xindu, because more than 100,000 people died in this city, I am afraid that the grievances will not be scattered, and the Yin Qi is too heavy. Unexpectedly, Lu Jiyi's strategy spread all over the world, and when he came to old age, he actually believed this illusory theory of ghosts and gods.
Juicong's answer to this was: "I wasn't afraid when I was alive, what can I do when I die?"
Yong Jun's masculinity is very strong, and Juicong is confident that he can suppress the grievances here, don't you believe it? Look at Anyang now, isn't it recovering
Now that Geng Shu is dead, Jiang Heng has escaped without a trace. He will come to seek revenge one day, and Juicong must find out his whereabouts as soon as possible.
What is even more annoying is that the death of the prince has caused many unpleasant voices from the East Palace, which has always bowed his head.
On the first day of moving to Anyang, the decision of the East Palace was actually to issue a king order to let the people of the Liang country move back to Anyang, and promise to leave nothing to chance... What a joke? Fortunately, this decree was stopped by Juicong in time. So many people were finally driven out, just to make room for the people of Yongguo to live in. Their houses are ready-made residences, and their money and food are even left in Anyang. Isn't this just right
Thousands of miles came from Luoyan, this is not a dove occupying a magpie's nest, this is their trophy! Juicong has not let his subordinates plunder, because the fruit of victory is bound to be theirs.
Prince Taki actually wants to return Anyang to Liang people? !
"Here?" Juicong said solemnly.
His own son also came. He left Luoyan a month ago, and now he has arrived in Anyang.
Prince Taki walked behind Ju Cong and saluted his father, but Ju Cong did not turn around.
"When you were young, you often said that you want to come to the south and read the Central Plains Paradise recorded in the book," Juicong said solemnly, "Dad answers you, one day, we will come back. Well, you see, it is not a guest, now the Central Plains is already a yours."
tsxsw.la
He pointed his hand straight ahead, indicating that Prince Taki could see clearly that this was given to him. His father never gave anything to his son since he was a child, but now, it has been given to him throughout his life. the only gift.
Juicong turned his head, looking forward to seeing the happy look in his son's eyes.
Prince Taki did not speak, with a complicated look in his eyes.
"I haven't figured it out yet?" Juicong interpreted it as Prince Taki still immersed in the grief of Geng Shu's death, and slowly came to him.
Prince Taki has water in his eyes, very much like his mother, Princess Yinshuang. After marrying into the palace, she has this unhappy look all day long.
"People will always leave." Ju Cong stretched out his left hand and put it on his son's face, wiping the corner of his eye with his thumb, "Your grandmother will die, your aunt will die, and so will your father. , everyone will leave you eventually."
Prince Taki dodged imperceptibly for a split second, and was finally discovered by Juicong.
"What do you want to say?" Juicong put down his hands and said displeasedly, "You will soon be the emperor of Shenzhou, just say whatever you want, don't always be so timid."
Prince Taki looked up at Juicong.
"This is not what I want, Father." Prince Taki whispered.
Juicong suddenly lost his interest. In these days, he felt the obvious change in his son.
"Who taught you this?" Juicong's tone became indifferent.
"No one taught me." Prince Taki's tone was very firm, "Father, is this what you want?"
"What are you doing crazy?" Juicong took a step forward, and said to Prince Taki with a dangerous tone, "You are pitying the enemy? When Liangren and Zhengren launched the war to destroy the country, why did you ever pity us?!"
Prince Taki took a deep breath and looked up at his father.
"Father..." Prince Taki said.
"Have you ever said this to your soldiers?" Juicong was so angry that his hands trembled slightly, "You have sacrificed your life for the Yong Kingdom, if you hear what you say, I don't know how many people there are. It will be cold!"
Prince Taki: "Father!"
Juicong: "I regret it now. I should take you with me and let you have a good look. Anyone who has seen the purgatory-like battlefield will never say it..."
"Father!" Prince Taki roared, "Have you ever been willing to be serious and listen to me?!"
Juicong was silent for a moment.
"Did you give me a chance to speak?" Prince Taki asked rhetorically.
The father and son were relatively silent.
"Say." Juicong replied indifferently.
Prince Taki: "Father, who is the enemy?"
Juicy Cong: "… "
Prince Taki walked to the front of the high platform, overlooking the whole city of Anyang, and then turned around and said to Ju Cong: "Who is your enemy? You have no enemy, ten years later, you will become the emperor, all of them are subjects, and they are all yours. Once lost subjects. Why not return their homes to everyone? You are their new king, and the people of Liang have become your people. I have always understood that war is essential, so that China will be unified again , there will be a tragic sacrifice, a heavy price to be paid... just..."
Prince Taki pointed to the city and said in disbelief: "Father, your decision is to take away their homes and let them wander and die, leaving only the Yong people!"
The city of Anyang has become desolate, and all the people have fled, like a ghost town. Soon, the Yong people will move in one after another, but Juicong will never let the Liang people come back.
"Who told you to say that?" Juicong asked him indifferently.
Jiang Heng escaped, Geng Shu died, and now there is no one to teach his son bad, but why? Until now, behind Prince Taki, there seems to be a ghost standing? !
"No one," Prince Taki replied, "from the beginning to the end, it was me who said, "Father, why don't you believe it?"
Is it Zeng Rong? Traveling around? Or those scholars from the Han family
"You can't control your subjects," Ju Cong felt that it was necessary to re-evaluate Prince Taki's ability and his qualities as a monarch, almost ruthlessly, "You can't control their mouths, let alone their emotions. You were taught badly by Jiang Heng, you are full of benevolence between women and children, mean to yourself and kind to enemies."
Prince Taki knew that Juicong would never listen, and today was the limit of his resistance. He knew that Juicong had understood, and next, he would face monstrous anger.
"Go back and reflect," Juicong said coldly, "Reflect on your cowardice."
"Yes." Prince Taki whispered and turned to leave.
This "yes" is like saying "no". Although the force is light, it is more persistent than before. Prince Taki successfully aroused Juicong's more violent anger. Standing on the high platform, he roared at his son: " Give me a good reflection! When did you realize that you were wrong! Come up to the court!"
The next day, Prince Taki faced the wall, and Juicong began to face the fierce resistance of the guests in the East Palace. Even Zeng Rong, Zhou You and others who rarely opposed Juicong's arguments on weekdays could not sit still and began to question the monarch.
"Your Majesty," Zeng Rong said, "Anyang has just arrived, and the government affairs are complicated. Why did you let the Prince's Highness go down the wall at this time, what did you do wrong?!"
Zhou Youdao said: "The original proposal for the Five Nations League meeting has not yet been held. The capture of Anyang will make the people of the four countries panic, and we must be able to appease them."
"Isn't this still you?" Juicong told the truth mercilessly, "If the prince does not go out, the responsibilities of the East Palace will remain the same, what's wrong?"
The East Palace is already rotten, rotten to the root. This is the only thought of Ju Cong. He only needs to fight all the year round, regardless of government affairs. Jiang Heng's arrival is actually corrupting the young officials of Prince Taki and his wife.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, Zeng Rong still couldn't help arguing: "His Royal Highness is banned, and there must be some faults. The world can't see the prince, and there are rumors everywhere, how to deal with it?"
"Sympathy for the enemy! This is his sin!" Juicong roared suddenly.
I thought that the officials of the East Palace would be silent, but they didn't say anything and looked at Juicong, but they were still persistent and stubborn.
Even if Juicong understood from the sentiment that Zeng Rong represented the Zeng family, and the children of the gentry should always show some affection, but at this moment, he still couldn't hold back his violent thoughts.
I felt that it was necessary to kill a few more people so that Donggong would completely surrender to him.
"Your Majesty, what about government decisions?" Zeng Rong said.
"Gu is the monarch," Ju Cong said slowly, "Gu is here in person. Do you think that Gu has entrusted government affairs to the Eastern Palace and will not be the monarch for so many years?"
No one spoke, Zeng Rong finally gave in.
Zhou You said: "Now we must send envoys as soon as possible to the two kingdoms of Ying and Zheng, mainly for temporary peace talks..."
"Negotiate peace?" Juicong said, "What peace do you negotiate?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was no longer delusional.
"Let's go!" Juicong reiterated, "Next month, we will send troops to attack Zheng State! I want to pay back the blood debt of the battle of Luoyan! I want the world to know that whoever dares to offend Dayong, I will let him have a debt. It will be paid! Send your government documents to the study! After the solitary place is over, I will go to the expedition in person!"
