Terjan, the son of Xifa, successfully brought back Hele's head after being silent for many days!
In fact, when Hele was defeated before, news often came out that he was bedridden.
But because he never died, no one could judge his true situation.
Now, after many Weihe leaders personally identified it and confirmed that it was Hele's head, the line led by Xifa can finally declare that they have avenged the old Khan and their father Khan!
As for the remnants of Hale, it doesn't matter, the chief culprit has been killed, and they are all worthy of their ancestors in terms of emotion and reason!
This is undoubtedly good news for Wei He, no, it should be said, for the Xifa lineage.
Not to mention anything else, anyway, they hold the Khan position firmly because of its orthodox inheritance.
But for Guochao, this is more embarrassing...
First of all, after Xifa confirmed that the head of Hale brought back from Terjiang was genuine, he immediately announced that the Wei He troops who had raided the country and massacred Huizhou were all under Hale and had nothing to do with their father and son. !
Secondly, Xifa then sent an envoy to tell Marquis Jingning that Wei He really needed the help of the imperial court because of the regicide rebellion of Hele in the past. That was why the two princes of the imperial court successively led troops into the country, but... now Since their great revenge has been avenged, there is no need for foreign troops to stay in the country.
What
You said that Marquis Jingning came here to avenge the soldiers and people of Huizhou
Don't worry, Hele's whole family will be given to you, Hele's die-hard old army will also be given to you, and there will be a group of remnants and defeated generals. If you like, you will be cut to pieces with a thousand knives, if you like, you will be cut into pieces, and we will not do it. opinion.
After all, we are all allies.
China is a huge country and a country of etiquette. It must have a reputation for its troops. It is impossible to send troops to other countries for no reason, right
Before, Uncle Zhaowu personally went on an expedition, and that was Prince Ying Xifa. Well, he will be the Khan soon. In short, he was invited to help avenge his father. This time, it was to avenge Huizhou... No matter which one, it has been solved now. , is it possible that the majestic country in the center will also attack their remote country on the frontier
Xifa's envoy made an impassioned speech in the Chinese military tent, which made the generals headed by Jingninghou look at each other...
It's not that they were really forced to do anything by the other party's words, but they were not sure what the court would think.
Today's Mingjun still has a heavy burden, and all the generals know this very well.
The emperor clearly wants to be a wise monarch, so his ministers should not be too naive in their actions.
Although Marquis Jingning neither believed that the destruction of Huizhou City was really the work of Hele's old troops, nor was he willing to be sent back after chasing him all the way up to this point, the envoy from the other side was right in what he said: How could the Holy Emperor be vindicated? Bullying other countries for no reason
That must be to attack an unjust country in the name of righteousness!
"The envoy has come a long way, so he should go down and rest." Marquis Jingning was silent for a moment, cupped his hands in the direction of the imperial capital, and said slowly, "This is a serious matter. We must discuss it before asking for instructions from the court."
The envoy expressed his understanding and followed Ke Ding, the second son of Marquis Jingning who was accompanying the army on the expedition.
After a while, the generals who were discussing the affairs of the Chinese army dispersed. Ke Ding came to find Marquis Jingning alone. After chatting for a while, he said: "Father, I just received some reports, and I want to report them alone."
Ke Cong had something on his mind, so he casually let people go and asked him what was going on.
"Father, based on your understanding of His Majesty, would Your Majesty compromise with Wei He like this?" Ke Ding considered his words and asked in a low voice.
"How is that possible?" Ke Cong said, "Nowadays, today's people are young, powerful and ambitious, and there is civil strife in Wei He. It has only been possible to put it down until now. If we miss this opportunity, let Xifa ascend the throne as khan and rest for a few years. , it is inevitable that it is another border trouble in the north. Your Majesty is so handsome and powerful, how can you tolerate it? "
Ke Ding said: "My child thinks so too..."
He hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice, "But, for generals like us, do you think it is better to compromise this time or not to compromise?"
"..." Ke Cong suddenly raised his head, looked at his second son with sharp eyes, and shouted sternly, "Do you know what you are talking about?!"
"The child knows!" Ke Ding shivered at the sight of him, but then he straightened up his chest and said seriously, "It is precisely because he knows that the child has to remind his father: When all birds are gone, a good bow..."
Ke Cong kicked him directly: "You traitor!!!"
"Father, I am a brave and powerful person today, so if I am not used at this moment, I will definitely not be given the status and treatment I have now!" Ke Ding fell to the ground, but immediately struggled to get up and said in a hissing voice, "It is even possible to follow in the footsteps of many military generals in the previous dynasty! Father, please don't forget that when His Majesty first broke away from the feudal clan, he promised to succeed him in exchange for the strong support of the four families of the Luo family, the Yin family, the Meng family, and the Ouyang family. In the end, he went back on his word and made the daughter of Uncle Zhaowu his queen instead! This shows that His Majesty has little intention of keeping his promise! In this case, why can't we, the ministers, think about ourselves?!"
"I, Mr. Ke, have been stationed on the border for our country for many years. I work hard and sleep hard at night, and I have never slacked off in the slightest!"
"Over the years, from Shenzong and Xiaozong to the present day, have the emperors of the three dynasties ever thought of us in normal times?!"
"Today we are going to kill Wei He. If His Majesty has no use for us in the future, why will he be merciful!?"
"Father, please think about the Ji family. They are your majesty's heirs. Even though they have all kinds of faults, they supported your majesty to ascend the throne and betrothed their carefully cultivated legitimate daughter to be the empress of the Yuan Dynasty. What was the result? Not only did the whole family of the Ji family fall, but also the Yuan Dynasty. The empress, and even Empress Xiao Zongyuan, will not end well!"
"I am indeed very qualified to be the king today. This may be a blessing for the people, but it is definitely not a blessing for high-ranking families like us, especially for the generals who hold military power, father!"
Ke Ding crept forward, took hold of Ke Cong's robe corner, and urged, "Father, please think again! My child is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is actually afraid that hundreds of members of my Ke family will follow the footsteps of the Ji family, Yuan’s footsteps!!!”
Ke Cong narrowed his eyes and looked at him coldly. After a moment, he said quietly: "Did the messenger tell you these words?"
"..." Ke Ding hesitated for a moment and said, "Not entirely. In fact, ever since I found out that His Majesty had gone back on his promise, the child has found it hard to settle down."
"How can an envoy from an enemy country be kind?" Ke Cong sneered, suddenly raised his foot, kicked him away again, turned around, strode to the seat at the top and sat down, and said in a cold voice, "You... Idiot, it doesn’t matter if you were used as a gun by the messenger, don’t drag down my Ke family! Get out of here with me!!!”
Ke Ding cried bitterly and paused again and again, asking him to think twice and not to ignore the hundreds of people in the Ke family... Finally, when he saw Ke Cong's expression was gloomy, as if he wanted to get violent, he hid his face and left in tears.
When he got outside, he calmed down, wiped his face three times, and returned to his tent as if nothing had happened.
Someone was waiting in this tent early in the morning, but his face was hidden in the shadows and could not be clearly seen.
Ke Ding didn't care, put down the curtain with his backhand, and whispered: "My father said he kicked me out, but actually he had some thoughts in his heart."
"Thank you." The voice from the corner was hoarse, as if it had been deliberately changed.
"This is not all for you." Ke Ding said in a relaxed tone, "I may seem generous, but in my heart I am mean and ungrateful! The Yun family was the first to surrender. So far, apart from the legitimate daughter of the late emperor who made trouble for nothing, how many benefits has Yiguo received? Both of the father's biological daughters died in the palace for no apparent reason, and the fourth prince born to Yun Jieyu died before he could even grow up... His Majesty did not think so, and instead preferred the little Yun family with a low bloodline! It can be seen that this emperor , no matter how extraordinary you are, it is not true kindness after all. There are many members of the Ke family who can die for the country, the people, or the king, but they must not leave for no reason because of the emperor's suspicion. !”
The man smiled and didn't say anything. He just said, "After all, you will be rewarded generously in the future for your hard work."
"I'm just afraid that the emperor has made up his mind. Even if father and others deliberately conceal the news and mislead, they won't be able to stop him." Ke Ding hesitated for a moment and whispered, "When the time comes, even if it takes a few years, I'm just afraid that the war here will happen again."
The man laughed louder and said slowly: "Don't worry about this. What did the emperor do in such a hurry in the past two years to eradicate the hidden dangers in the harem of the previous dynasty? Why can't he wait to use troops against Wei He? ? Even if there was no such thing as the destruction of Huizhou City, sooner or later he would find other reasons to take action... Just because his eldest son was almost ten years old, so he would not take the opportunity to resolve several major issues now. In a few years, As my sons grow up, the battle for the crown prince will inevitably break out! By then, these things will become more complicated and even involve each other, making them even more troublesome than they are now!"
Ke Ding's heart moved and he couldn't help but frown: "Is this also what Wei He thought of? Is it possible that they plan to intervene in the dispute between the country and the prince?"
"I didn't say anything like that." The man muttered, "After all..."
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly startled and blurted out, "Someone is coming!"
Ke Ding was also startled, but he didn't take it to heart and said, "Maybe someone is looking for me, please cover up."
He walked to the door unprepared and then raised the curtain, only to be met with an arrow pointing straight at his throat!
The next moment, countless bowstrings sounded, and it turned out that at some point, three circles of archers had surrounded Ke Ding's tent!
At this moment, they all let go, and the feather arrows temporarily obscured the darkness of this small piece of heaven and earth.
The person in the tent felt a "thump" in his heart, and then secretly yelled "no", only to hear the sound of several layers of cloth tearing, and then he was pierced into a hedgehog.
At the end of September, the urgent report from the frontier arrived at the Chunjia case amid the anxious sound of horse hooves. In addition to reporting Wei He's tactful peace proposal, Ke Cong also wrote a letter of apology, pleading guilty for his failure to educate his son, so that his second son Ke Ding was deceived by Wei He's envoy, and persuaded him to go against the grain and deceive the king... The excerpt stated that he didn't know when Ke Ding was bewitched or by whom, so he made an emotional move on the spot and let Ke Ding go back to his tent. , quickly searched the three armies, and after finding that the only suspicious thing was Ke Ding's tent, they immediately dispatched archers and shot all the living creatures in the tent.
"The treasonous son Ke Ding was killed on the spot, and one person was captured alive. He was originally a sergeant in the army. The root cause is that he was an old soldier of Uncle Zhaowu, and was under the command of Xie Wuzheng, the school captain... It is a pity that he was a dead soldier. Although I tried every means, the torture was not completed. He then tried to commit suicide... This is my fault... "
After looking at it, Chunjia's expression changed. After a moment, he sighed softly and said: "The Marquis Jingning is loyal and loyal. He passed on my orders and ordered the Ministry of Rites to draw up a decree to commend him."
No matter what, for someone to kill a biological son so simply, he was still a direct biological son.
When you are an emperor, you must always show something.
but…
By doing this, was Ke Cong loyal to the emperor, or was he deliberately using his own son's life to buy the emperor's heart? From Chunjia's point of view, he still needed a thorough investigation by the Imperial City Secretary before he would believe it.
What also caught his attention was the man who bewitched Ke Ding, who was first captured alive and then committed suicide.
Is it a coincidence that I am vaguely related to the Queen and Yun Fenghuang? ?
