News of good news spread frequently across the capital, and wherever the roaring voice of the messenger passed by, the long street fell silent.
Ever since the news came that the Allied Forces of the Thirteen Kingdoms in the Western Regions raided the Western Qin a few months ago and half of the elite of the Western Qin were lost, claims of "the situation in the Western Regions is corrupt" and "the Western Regions are in chaos" have been rampant.
In fact, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are absolutely vigilant and fearful of the countries in the Western Regions. In tribal countries, nomadic countries, and demon blood countries, basically all the people are soldiers, and their combat power is by no means comparable to that of the agricultural civilization of the Great Zhou Dynasty, especially those countries many years ago. It has become a tradition that if a country is forcibly combined, it will be difficult for other countries to support it.
Even though the Jiang family has been running the land of Western Qin for hundreds of years, and there are endless famous generals with amazing talents, such as Jiang Wen, the dragon among men, it only took a lot of effort to destroy the Three Kingdoms, and it took another three years. , after the game between all parties, using the style of benevolence, he barely appeased the survivors of the Three Kingdoms, and finally he was able to reach a vast land thousands of miles away!
Not long ago, there was an analysis by the imperial censor that if the imperial court sent Confucian generals there, and used benevolent and righteous troops to cooperate with extremely powerful envoys, and rationally counterattack and use them, the Thirteen Kingdoms in the Western Regions could temporarily withdraw their troops, stabilize the land of Western Qin, and then slowly plan Of!
Some officials in the imperial court even suggested a marriage alliance, His Majesty also has several younger sisters and princesses, and ceding some useless uninhabited land, and so on.
Frankly speaking, these suggestions are inappropriate and lose national prestige, but they are mature advice for the country.
Unexpectedly, Western Qin belongs to the Jiang family, and foreign ministers are not allowed to interfere, which makes people sigh.
But what happens now? The 17-year-old second king of Western Qin, Jiang Yuqing, only took office for four months. With only a small number of remaining troops, he defeated a large number with a small number and completely annihilated the millions of armies of the Thirteen Kingdoms in the Western Regions.
This feeling... was like thunder exploding on the ground, causing all those who paid attention to the affairs of the Western Region to change their colors.
How did he do that? How did he do it?
This is a bit too dreamy.
…
Qinglanfang.
The only way to go to the Ministry of War is through Zhuque Gate in the west of the capital.
It is a spectacular and magnificent mansion. The five characters "Nanli County Prince's Mansion" on the door plaque are like an ax and a knife. It is said to be the handwriting of the late emperor.
It can truly be said to be the residence of princes and nobles, the home of bells and dishes.
At this moment, a four-person sedan chair slowly descended in the front yard, and dozens of maids from a distance had already hurriedly greeted it.
The curtain of the sedan chair was opened, and a woman in her thirties with a delicate figure and a handsome and charming face walked out. Before anyone could salute her, she scolded her in a sharp and harsh tone: "I don't know what this girl Miaojin is thinking about." What about Jiang's brat? Xiao Mu, the genius of Tianji Pavilion, although I have never met her, must be a top student. However, she has been reluctant to go to Tianji Pavilion.
Even Ji Cunxiao, the eldest son of the Nanling Prince, and Ji Peiyu, the Prince of Wu, are also close relatives of the Emperor and talented members of the royal family, alas! "
I don’t know if she was talking to herself or nagging her servants. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they became silent.
However, there was an old steward with a higher status who said with a sad face: "Mrs. Hua, be silent!"
This lady has a shrewd temper. She was punished by the prince last time, but she still doesn't remember it.
"I must say this! What has become of the Jiang family? The Western Region is besieged by a million troops. That kid will die in the Western Region sooner or later, hum!"
Mrs. Hua clapped her handkerchief, rebuked coldly, and then asked: "Where is the prince..."
She wanted to ask where the prince was, but before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the rapid sound of horse hooves outside the gate and the roar of the messenger:
"A great victory for the Western Qin Dynasty! Jiang Yuqing, the king of the Western Qin Dynasty, led the old soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty to completely annihilate the millions of coalition forces of the Thirteen Kingdoms in the Western Region in Xiaofeichuan!"
All the servants in the courtyard could not help but look horrified.
Mrs. Hua's body froze, her handkerchief fell to the ground, her face turned pale, and there was a hint of panic in her eyes.
She had lived in Nanli for a long time and witnessed a battle involving hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of soldiers. How cruel was it? Bright red blood, curling blades, dense bones and a hill-like pile of corpses...
This kind of thing has definitely risen to the level of changes in the national society and the pattern of the Western Regions.
She still has this kind of vision.
"Da da da……"
The horse's hooves have gone away.
"Your Majesty!"
Madam Hua suddenly rushed to the inner house and hurriedly entered an elegant courtyard: "Your Majesty, that boy..."
The words suddenly stopped, and there were only three people sitting in the room, the majestic and domineering Su Wuji, Nanli Military Advisor Mr. Shenji, and Nanli Princess Su Miaojin.
Su Miaojin, whose realm is as changeable as water flow, is advancing by leaps and bounds. Against the background of her white clothes, she looks even more stunning. She has three thousand green hair and a snake bun. She has a graceful and handsome appearance. However, the corners of her mouth are slightly raised at this moment, as if she is holding back a smile. .
On the other hand, Su Wuji and Mr. Shenji looked solemn and frowned.
Mrs. Hua bowed restrainedly and sat aside obediently, no longer aggressive.
"Sir, why are you teaching me?" Su Wuji, who looked at the world, played with the court, and even allowed the Nanling King to reorganize the Nanli Army. Su Wuji, who regarded him as nothing, suddenly spoke up, with a somewhat incomprehensible dullness in his tone.
Mr. Shenji was about seventy years old. He was energetic and had deep eyes. He stroked his beard and smiled faintly: "This matter is not a good thing for the prince. Next, the court will be very energetic and try its best to deal with Xi Jinping." Qin has no time to worry about Nanli!"
Su Wuji glanced at his daughter, who was sitting upright but with a strange look on her face, and sighed, "How did this kid do it?"
Mr. Shenji was also a little hard to answer and pondered for a moment: "Perhaps we can only wait for the detailed secret performance of the Nanli Eagle Guard!"
Su Wuji stood up and walked to the window, silently looking at the jade pond of spiritual grass in the courtyard, and said after a long time: "After all, I have underestimated this Jiang Yuqing! With such military exploits, I am afraid that a famous general in the world will not be able to escape. Just on the battlefield. He said that his time has come!"
…
Jiang Mansion.
Lanqingyuan, with its hundreds of gold and jade pavilions, is as busy as ever, but with a little pessimism in its busyness.
The servants were all in a hurry and had lost the arrogance of servants of wealthy families in the past.
The chief steward, Li Yun, led his servants carrying lotus seed soup and cautiously entered the main hall. They saw more than twenty stewards from various places sitting cross-legged in the hall, all with sad faces.
After the emperor's "playing" in the past few days, the Jiang family was shocked. Coupled with the corruption of the war in the Western Regions, the 300,000-strong Western Qin army that the Jiang family relied on for support was likely to be wiped out. In fact, the Jiang family was no longer weak. And weak.
The officials of the state government below him were disloyal, and the servants of the major pawnshops, banks, restaurants, and silk shops also began to have other thoughts. There were no less than a hundred high-ranking officials who fled to avoid danger.
If things go on like this, the majesty of the Jiang family will no longer exist, and it is inevitable that the family will gradually decline over the centuries.
More importantly, the life and death of Jiang Hu, the eldest grandson of the Jiang family, the head of the family, Prince Xi Qin, and the third master, Jiang Hu, are in danger.
"Princess, use soup."
Li Yun carefully placed the lotus seed soup on the desk.
In the past, the old lady sat cross-legged and handled the housework desk, but now she has become Princess Shengping. Now she is writing annotations in her slender hand, and her small characters are elegant and graceful.
Dressed in brocade embroidered with phoenix, the married woman wears a bun with golden steps and phoenix hairpins that are particularly dazzling. She has a beautiful face that is happy and sweet, and with a slim figure, she looks like a fairy on earth. Just a casual glance, It makes people's bones feel weak by three points.
The most beautiful princess in the capital, she is the fairy in the dreams of young master Mu Ai.
It's a pity that the county king dismissed it and abandoned it like worn out shoes, which is heartbreaking.
There was a little sadness between her brows, and her red lips parted slightly: "Send it off with the old lady in the inner palace!"
"Here!"
Li Yun looked at the inner hall, with a trace of sadness on her face. The old lady had been eating only one meal a day, worshiping Buddha and praying for the war in the Western Regions, and was gradually losing weight.
As soon as he picked up the lotus seed soup, he saw the second young master Jiang Yugui, his face glowing red and his eyes glowing like a wolf, staggering in. He laughed before he said a word, and he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha! How happy!"
