Chapter 119 Contest
Ying Zhen continued: "At present, there are constant uprisings in various places, and the prefectures and counties will be defeated without attack. The border defense has long been vulnerable. Qi Yan is still eyeing him, and even Xihua, who has always been obedient, may not be waiting to get a share of the pie... The princess should have understood it long ago, and the trend is over."
Xiangcheng disagreed and sneered: "Just 100,000? The princes and ministers are too underestimating this princess. They are always deceiving the deception. How do you know that there are no ambushers hidden under my command? How do you know that Qi Yan will definitely be able to capture my Yujing? When the country is really at the moment of the rise and fall of the country, my Yujing man may not be as weak and incompetent as you think!"
"Even if you win for a while, you can win for a lifetime? Win for thousands of generations? Even if you have this ambition and ability to unify the world, who will succeed the world in the future?" Ying Zhen said lightly, but he pressed step by step. "You know very well that you can't pass this level. You are afraid that one day when you fall in the east, and you, the princess who used to be arrogant and domineering all countries, will end up in a bleak situation."
This time, Xiangcheng did not refute. She looked into the distance and seemed to have a scene in front of her father teaching her the military strategy... At that time, she was talented and intelligent, and could understand at a glance, but her father sighed repeatedly, but unfortunately she was a daughter...
"So what, I can kill you now."
"Kill me? Kill me can't stop this situation. If you kill me, there will be a second person in this world. The third person will achieve such unity. Can you kill me, but you can kill me all?"
Xiangcheng laughed, but there was no joy in his voice, "So you are sure I will let you go? Do you think I'm trying my best to discuss the situation with you?"
"You want me to save you." The sentence made Xiangcheng completely quiet.
"Then will you save me?" Sure enough, Xiangcheng remembered the words she told him that she really didn't want to be enemies with the ministers one day, and she had believed him without reservation.
She and Ying Zhen were on mission to Xihua to explore the reality of Xihua in Qing Dynasty. At that time, the world was divided and each occupied one side. Xiangcheng decided to join forces with Xihua to conquer Fengxia, which had a weak national strength, and then annex Qiyan with three sides to achieve unification. Unexpectedly, Ying Zhen secretly joined forces with Xihua Prime Minister Gu Zheng to stop the alliance between Xihua and Yujing, and wanted to destroy such a situation.
So Xiangcheng had to kill Gu Zheng, and then took the territory of Fengxia. She thought Ying Zhen was Gu Chen Yuan, so she showed mercy to Xihua's subordinates. She did not want to let Xihua fall too early, so Xiangcheng made up his mind and used Jin Xi's jealousy to execute Chen Yuan, so that Ying Zhen could not stabilize Fengxia's subjects for her. Instead, she secretly called on others to incite them to rebel and protest. Xiangcheng completely believed that for a long time, Ying Zhen was just using her to turn Yu Jing into a country with a tyrannical rule. What was the purpose of this? It was to make Yu Jing lose the hearts of the people and lose the world, but Ying Zhen could have a wise and sophistry reputation for serving the people.
But it was too late for Xiangcheng to see the situation clearly. If she abandoned Ying Zhen, she would follow his wishes and would anger the subjects of the world. If she did not abandon him, it would also hinder the future of Yujing...
At this point, Xiangcheng had to admit that she might have lost this game of chess.
"I will save..." Ying Zhen paused, and suddenly bowed to her, "Thank you for showing mercy to the princess, forgive her life."
Xiangcheng waved his hand, and at that moment she felt extremely relaxed. The sky was surrounded by colorful clouds, the fog in the mountains faded, and the eyes were quiet, "There is something that I don't understand. Since you know that I bewitched Li Mao to kill Emperor Qi Yan to seize the throne, why don't you stop him in advance? Instead, you arrest him for the current situation?"
Ying Zhen's eyes were deep and said lightly: "Li Mao is not the candidate of Emperor Liang, let alone the powerful party of the Crown Princess Wang. If Li Mao ascends the throne in the future, it may be difficult for him to control such a foreign relative. Now that he is allowed to rebel, the emperor still cares that he is being provoked by you for a moment and will not take his life. Wouldn't everyone be happy?"
Xiangcheng sighed loudly and said happily: "After that being said, I still want to bet with you."
“The battlefield is ruthless…”
"I let you go today, just to leave a chance to compete with you. In the future... I will not show mercy!"
Chen Yuan, who was waiting anxiously here, finally saw the two of them coming back. Xiangcheng looked at her and smiled and said, "You are blessed." After that, she turned over and tied the reins with one hand, and said, "My grandson, don't forget to promise this princess!" Then she smiled meaningfully at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan was stunned. She let them go like this? What did the young master agree to her? Chen Yuan hurriedly looked at Ying Zhen, afraid that Ying Zhen would do something to compromise for her.
Ying Zhen walked to her, looked at her thin shoulders, and gave her a calm look, "Let's go, let's go home." Is this matter that Xiangcheng said before parting with him refers to the matter of saving her in times of trouble or fighting for the world? He didn't say it, maybe God's will had long been doomed.
Ying Zhen squatted down halfway and signaled that he would carry Chen Yuan on his back. Chen Yuan did not refuse and lay quietly and docilely on his broad back, suddenly feeling very satisfied.
She was thinking that God is still fair and may not give you everything you want, but she will definitely keep the most worthy of your protection and cherishment by your side.
"Young Master..." Chen Yuan leaned on his shoulder and shouted softly.
Ying Zhen turned around halfway, nodded, and continued to walk carefully.
"I'm so tired." She closed her eyes slightly, her voice was very small, and she seemed lazy. Perhaps she had experienced too much displaced and suddenly someone was guarding her, so she was extremely relaxed at this moment.
"Sleep, I'm here."
In the autumn of the 36th year of Qi Yanhongqiu, Prince Li Mao was convicted of assassinating the emperor. Later, the ministers asked for an imperial edict that he was bewitched by others. In addition, he was quite repentant, Emperor Qi Yan issued an edict to abolish Prince Li Mao and demoted him to the King of Yongxiang. Although the princess Wang's clan did not participate in the conspiracy, he had failed to investigate the matter, and demoted him to the inherited title of the Wang family and regained the military power in the hands of Wang. Prince Liangdi Sikong instigated the prince to participate in the assassination and sentenced him to hanging. The Grand Tutor Tao Li was not in good supervision, but he was killed in Yujing and did not investigate his faults...
On the day when the prince Li Mao was deposed, Emperor Qi Yan issued an order to appoint King Qi Li Xi as the crown prince, and handed over the military power collected from the Wang family to the Zhao clan of Qianrong Marquis Zhao, ordered the Zhao and Jiang families to rectify their troops. After the autumn harvest, he raised an army again to attack Yujingrongxi, Saixian and Bingzhou counties, and seized the important roads eastward.
In September of the 36th year of Qi Yanhongqiu, Emperor Qi Yan ordered Qianrong to be the commander, gathered 200,000 troops to send troops to advance eastward. At the same time, at the suggestion of Prince Li Xi, Shangyu Jiang Shuwei ordered Shangyu to lead 6,000 troops to set up an ambush on the border of Xihua to block the connection between Xihua and Yujing countries, in order to prevent Xihua from ambushing Qiyan's hinterland from behind when he was invited by Yujing.
Ying Zhen followed the troops of the Gan Ronghou and marched eastward. Emperor Qi Yan secretly ordered the Gan Ronghou to obey Ying Zhen's arrangements in everything. Although the Gan Ronghou took the order on the surface, he was not very comfortable. He was the head coach, but he had to put the young master first in everything.
So when Shu Yao and Chen Yuan talked about this, they vaguely felt worried for Ying Zhen.
Chen Yuan looked at the book in his hand and smiled indifferently, "People with ability can be roughly divided into three levels. With their own diligence and hard work, the middle level has more keenness than the lower level to use the time and place, and the upper level has more keenness to capture people's harmony than the middle level. Therefore, the lower level is a general, the middle level is a commander, and the upper level is a real leader. But you cannot underestimate the word "people and harmony". Although people's hearts cannot be seen or touched, they are the source of everything."
"I don't understand what you said so much. What does it have to do with Ying Zhen?"
"The young master is the one I have ever seen who is best at controlling people's hearts. For example, the ambitious Princess Xiangcheng was able to be impressed by the young master's talent at the beginning. Do you think the young master will not be able to solve the suspicion of a Marquis of Rong?" Chen Yuan's tone was full of admiration. Maybe it could not be said that the young master is omnipotent, but at least in her eyes, no one can resist him.
"So as you say, since he is so powerful, why didn't he steal the princess's position, ascend the throne as king by himself, and then seize the states in the world?" Shu Yao's seemingly inadvertent words made Chen Yuan hear the unusual temptation in her words.
