"Ares, Ares!"
"Master Yu is mighty!"
"Mighty and mighty!"
Jinghua finally held on, and a group of people worshiped Yu Qian as a god.
The soldiers, the common people, and the nobles were all very happy.
Xie Ming had already walked over and looked at Yu Qian with a sparkle in his eyes: "I love you and protect the country. I will definitely give you a big reward!"
"Reward!"
If it had been before, Yu Qian would have knelt down to thank him.
But now...
He gave a wry smile.
Now this dragon flame is not decided by you as the emperor at all.
Whether it's a reward or a promotion, it's Liu Zheng who can decide.
Xie Ming made a "verbal promise" and immediately turned around and hid back in the palace...
"Ah this?"
Yu Qian smiled bitterly again.
For the first time, he felt a wave of disappointment in his heart.
Can such an emperor really lead Long Yan to glory?
Is it really wrong to have a constitutional monarch?
Now it seems that is not the case...
"It's just good luck. Don't let down your guard. There's no chance that the Youzhou Army will turn around and come back."
Yu Qian ordered loudly.
When everyone who had just relaxed heard this, they suddenly became nervous again, picked up their weapons and stood at their respective shooting points.
Having said that, Yu Qian knew very well that the Youzhou Army would definitely not come back.
He knew that the current commander of the Youzhou Army was the military advisor Meng Zan.
In the current situation, he would definitely not attack the city to rescue King Zhao.
After all, it was he who suggested King Zhao enter the city. Once King Zhao was rescued, he would be the first to be liquidated.
If he is not saved, then he can return to Zhao Di, take over everything in Youzhou, and then support a puppet to come to power. Without the siege, they would not be rebels, and he could safely be the actual controller of Youzhou.
Therefore, without being sure of Xie Chao's life or death in the city, he would never come back to attack the city.
If you preserve the 200,000 troops in Youzhou, he will be able to conquer the whole world.
Nowadays, Long Yan is waging war on many fronts, and he will not go to conquer Youzhou just because of this matter.
Not worth it.
The gain outweighs the loss.
The imperial court will definitely face this matter and it will be over.
The reason why Yu Qian said this was to send the people around him away. He knew that he was going to die.
Killing the vassal king without permission is a capital crime for destroying the nine clans. The courtiers will not care whether King Zhao has any objections, they will only look at the results.
Yu Qian leaned against the wall and gave a bitter smile. He was devoted to Long Yan, but this was the result waiting for him in the end.
Although sad, he has no regrets.
If you live and die for the benefit of the country, why should you avoid it because of misfortunes and blessings?
He completed his mission, and let future generations comment on his merits and demerits.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
"Reinforcements are coming!"
At this moment, another large army appeared in people's sight.
At first, people thought it was the Youzhou Army coming back.
But when I took a closer look, it was the Hanzhong Army!
King Yong’s army!
When they thought that King Yong was a loyal fan of Liu Zheng, everyone roared excitedly.
He will never become an enemy!
King Yong also rushed slowly along the way. When he got Tiemucheng to lead the Mongolian army to raid Beijing, while he was shocked, he had already begun to organize troops to rush to Beijing's aid.
No matter what.
Most of the main force of the Hanzhong Army had already rushed to support the northwest battle.
In the current northwest war situation, Rumyantsev has been launching fierce attacks on the Yanqi area.
On Zou Sheng's side, it was very difficult to hold on.
A lot of military power was mobilized at one time.
This made King Qin's troops, except for the soldiers and horses in Youzhou, very slow. This gave the Youzhou army an opportunity to take advantage of the loophole.
Along the way, King Yong has naturally been receiving various intelligence from Jinghua.
Yu Qian......
Retreat the enemy...
Youzhou Army.
No matter the details.
Even the white flag was replaced on the city tower, but within half an hour, it was replaced with the dragon flame banner, and the Youzhou army also left Jinghua City.
King Yong has also mastered this kind of thing.
Shocking!
In addition to being shocked, it is still shocking!
It was hard for him to imagine that a scholar could resist the temptation of a high-ranking official and a generous salary under such circumstances! And when his subordinates were about to mutiny, he decisively hacked Xie Chao to death to demonstrate his military integrity...
Is this the scholar Long Yan?
When he finally arrived at Jinghua City.
Looking at the tired figure on the city wall, King Yong finally understood the meaning of the four words "unparalleled national scholar".
Yu Qian quickly led his people and came out to greet King Yong.
King Yong laughed jokingly: "Master Yu, won't you kill Gu too?"
Yu Qian's face changed drastically: "King Yong is joking, Yu Qian is really helpless, please punish King Yong!"
"Condemned?"
King Yong laughed and said: "Master Yu has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion. Xie Chao has committed his own sins and cannot survive. What crime is there?"
"Master Yu, I have never admired many people in my life, and you are one of them." King Yong walked to Yu Qian's side and said seriously.
Hearing this, Yu Qian had a look of surprise on his face: "To receive such high praise from King Yong, I, Yu Qian, will die with no regrets.
"Death? Why die?"
King Yong looked puzzled. After completing such a mission to save the world, he was about to achieve great success and become famous throughout the ages. But why did Yu Qian look so lifeless?
"The cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook it; the birds disappear and the good bow is hidden; the empire is destroyed and the king of advisers is gone."
Yu Qian sighed with a bitter smile.
"Master Yu, no, it's you who saved Jinghua. All the soldiers in Jinghua know it, and all the people in Jinghua also know that you are the hero who helped the building to collapse. You will be fine!"
King Yong laughed.
"I killed a vassal king, and he was a vassal king who did not rebel." Yu Qian shook his head.
"But, this is a vassal king with rebellious intentions... I can make the decision for you!"
King Yong shook his head.
He felt that Yu Qian was a little too worried.
"Prince Yong, things in the court are not as straightforward as those on the battlefield. You are the prince of Hanzhong, and you don't know the complexity of this capital. I, Yu Qian, am just a supplementary member, a foreign minister, and my rank is not higher than the sixth rank. I am a vassal. The king is a noble with royal blood. If a commoner kills the feudal king, this alone touches the bottom line of all nobles. For the absolute authority of the nobles, I must die. Only by my death can the authority of the nobles be maintained."
Yu Qian smiled bitterly.
When King Yong heard this, he was speechless.
Isn't he the noble that Yu Qian mentioned?
That's right...
Their aristocratic class naturally wants to always have privileges...
If anyone can kill nobles, then why are they valuable?
"Master Yu, this..."
Zhao Yan, who was on the side with a bruised nose and face, also had an angry look on his face, and said angrily: "These damn gang, we are fighting the enemy desperately in the front, but they are plotting against us from behind! Grandma! King Yong, don't look, I didn't say anything about you !”
"Ha ha ha ha!"
King Yong could only follow suit and fight haha.
In fact, Yu Qian said it right...
Killing Xie Chao on the spot was a big or small matter. Moreover, when Jinghua was besieged this time, the powerful people in Jinghua City lost a lot of face.
It is very likely that they will find a point to vent their anger.
At this point, it might be Yu Qian...
"I will help Mr. Yu mediate this matter..."
King Yong could only say this.
"General Yu, you don't have to be so discouraged. Now I, Longyan, am no longer the same as before. Longyan is no longer the world ruled by one person. Longyan has a council. If he wants to kill you, he must get the consent of the council!"
Zhao Yan said with relief.
"parliament?"
The three of them walked into the city together. Yu Qian glanced at King Yong and sneered:
"General, let me ask you, who are the members of the Council?"
"This...but the chief minister of the cabinet is Mr. Liu Zheng. Mr. Liu will uphold justice."
Zhao Yan said.
King Yong also nodded.
He knew Liu Zheng's character. He was a man who cherished his talents. If he knew that Jinghua had such a Yu Qian, he would definitely let him come to his house.
"Liu Shoufu? Humph, he is a great thief of the country."
Yu Qian looked disdainful and said something shocking.
"What?"
Zhao Yan was startled.
"you……"
King Yong also looked speechless.
"Why do you say this, sir? How can Liu Shoufang be a thief of the country! He brought my declining Longyan Dynasty back to its peak. Throughout the ages, there are not many people whose achievements can compare with Liu Shoufang."
Zhao Yan retorted with a red face.
He is a loyal fan of Liu Zheng.
Liu Shoufu's reputation in Long Yan is mixed, but it is undeniable that Liu Zheng has indeed brought Long Yan to a new level.
"Achievements cannot be concealed, but this man loves his achievements and engages in military affairs. All the tax revenue in Liangzhou is used for war. He abolishes the autocratic monarchy and changes to a constitutional monarchy. It seems that he is serving the country and the people, but in fact, he is using all his power to fight. If Long Yan really becomes his master, what does he want to do? Does he want to use all the country's finances for foreign wars?"
Yu Qian didn't care that King Yong was right next to him and shouted coldly.
Yu Qian is a Confucian scholar, and his mind is full of Confucian thoughts, while Liu Zheng's practices and ideas are exactly the opposite of Confucianism.
Confucianism emphasizes "lord" and "subordinates", but Liu Zheng abolished the absolute power of the monarch;
Confucianism emphasizes focusing on agriculture and suppressing business, but Liu Zheng is the largest businessman in Longyan!
Confucianism emphasizes benevolence, but Liu Zheng has a soft spot for expansion. Since Liu Zheng’s debut, foreign wars have been continuous...
The most annoying thing about Confucianism is Liu Zheng. Although he has achievements, Yu Qian is more disgusted with Liu Zheng.
Zhao Yan respects Liu Zheng, and at the same time, he also respects Yu Qian. When Yu Qian talks about Liu Zheng, he naturally can't say anything.
…
"Yu Qian, interesting, interesting..."
Liu Zheng on the ship also received information from Long Yan.
After receiving the news that the crisis in Jinghua had been resolved, Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
But this Yu Qian turned out to be someone who was against him...
He couldn't help crying or laughing.
But it doesn’t matter…
The wheel of history never changes based on the will of a few people.
"Change the channel and go to Li Chao!"
After Liu Zheng left Suez, he did not return to Longyan directly.
Liu Zheng first went to the East India Company, and after understanding some of the situation, he planned to return to China. But now, he wants to go to Li Chao first!
Li Hyuna's navy helped him solve the problem of the Tsarist Russian invading army in the outer northeast. As the chief minister of the suzerain, he had to express his gratitude.
In addition, he had to borrow troops from the Li Dynasty.
Liu Zheng's two trusted troops, one in the northeast and the other in the northwest, were unable to support him because of the plague in the northeast and the war in the northwest. Now that Long Yan was in troubled times, there would inevitably be some people with ulterior motives in the country. If he went back like this , it is inevitable that those people will not have second thoughts, and after much deliberation, it is safer to borrow a large army from the Li Dynasty to go back.
Liu Zheng landed from Incheon and received the news that Liu Zheng had arrived in Li Dynasty. Li Hyuna was very happy.
Publicly and privately, she really wanted Liu Zheng to come to the Li Dynasty.
Li Hyunya has long been secretly committed to Liu Zheng, privately, and now that they meet her, it relieves her pain of lovesickness. As for the public, she has also reached the end of her patience with some degenerate elements in the country. If Liu Zheng can help get rid of them, then Li Hyunya The administrative capabilities of the DPRK will be directly upgraded to a new level!
