Chapter 212: The young master can't be the Guangwu Emperor
The night slowly shrouded the city of Fuzhou.
On the treetops of the moon, Orihiko stood in his yard looking at the crescent moon in the sky, but his heart was extremely nervous and complicated.
The reason for the nervousness was that the 10,000 Xinwang soldiers outside the city were one of the few old friends he had in awe of in his life, the original Jingyuan Jinglu Liu Qi.
The complicated thing is, is it really for the sake of loyalty to his father to completely turn against him, to open the city gate and let the king soldiers enter the city?
If you let the Xinwang soldiers enter the city, I heard that the deputy marshal of the Xinwang soldiers is a guy who has cultivated the human form of a demon snake. It is said that the demon snake is a guy who likes to swallow the golden dog Neidan on the battlefield to smelt the new god pill, and he is a guy who loves to kill. Will he follow Liu Qi's orders and really treat the more than 60,000 villagers in the city with no murder and courtesy?
If you let Wang Bing enter the city, you can really protect your family and the fathers and elders of the city, then it is okay to be an unfilial person once.
But if that demon snake breaks his promise after entering the city, he will inevitably lose his filial piety first, and then lose his righteousness, and in the end, he will be so troubled that he has no chance to serve the court, and becomes a thorough, disloyal, unrighteous and unfilial person. In the future, where will there be a place for oneself......
"Saburo, what are you thinking?" Just as Orihiko was looking at the moon and thinking alone, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind him.
Looking back, after seeing the person who spoke, Zhi Yanzhi smiled and said, "Girl, why haven't you rested so late?" ”
The title of the girl and the younger generation to the aunt. Although this person is the same age as Orihiko, he is even a year younger than him. But in terms of seniority, it is his elder and his cousin. The last generation of seven Zhi Kexi's baby daughter Zhi Meifeng.
I saw Orihiko's smile on his face. Zhi Meifeng walked up to him and said, "But in order to open the city to welcome Liu Duhu, you are in trouble?" ”
Nodding slightly. Zhi Yan said straightly: "The girl really knows her nephew, and I am indeed embarrassed about this matter." ”
"Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, loyalty and filial piety in the front, benevolence and righteousness in the back."
Zhi Meifeng raised her hand to dust off a fallen leaf on her shoulder for Zhi Yanzhi, and said in a look of elders who loved their juniors who were extremely inconsistent with their age: "For loyalty, filial piety should be secondary." If it is filial piety, righteousness should be done again. San Lang, you should know these truths! ”
"But, but what if after I open the city, the demon snake will not be controlled by Liu Duhu after entering the city, and will kill innocent people indiscriminately? After all, it was a snake, a cold-blooded animal, and it was transformed into a human! ”
Orihiko didn't want to hide too many words from this aunt. Because although the two are of the same age, only this aunt cares for him the most in the entire folding family.
This has a lot to do with the fact that both of them are born of concubines, and they are often ostracized by those who come out of the main house.
Sympathy for the same disease, folded beauty and phoenix generations are placed there. Although they were not very kind to Zhe Meifeng in their generation, in the past, those young brothers in the main room still had to take into account some seniority, and they didn't dare to be too disrespectful to Zhe Meifeng.
With the identity of an elder, since Orihiko can remember, whenever those children from the main room bully him, this little aunt will stand up to protect him and help him......
Hearing Zhi Yanzhi say this, Zhi Meifeng smiled faintly and said: "You only remember that the deputy commander of the Xinwang soldiers outside the city is a snake who transforms into a human form, but how can you forget how that snake cultivated to this level?" That snake was raised and domesticated by Mrs. Liu with his own essence and blood, and it was already similar to Mrs. Liu in nature. Have you ever seen Mrs. Liu kill Han people indiscriminately and kill innocents? ”
Hear this. Zhi Yan stared at Zhi Meifeng with wide eyes and said, "Girl, do you really think." Could that demon snake have exactly the same temperament as Mrs. Liu? After all, he's a demon, not a human! ”
"Whether it's a demon or a demon, its temperament comes from where it was generated. Demons are born in the wilderness, so the wildness is often difficult to control. Demons are born in the abyss, and their evil will never change. Zhe Meifeng repeated some of the truths in the scriptures again.
After a slight pause in the middle of the sentence, he continued to look at Orihiko and said, "If you can't believe that demon snake, I can go out of the city first to test that demon snake." After all, I'm just a concubine daughter who is not loved by my brother, even if the demon snake wants to cheat, he will not want to use me to blackmail you, let alone use me to force your father to open the city. ”
"No, never."
As soon as he heard that Zhi Meifeng was going out of the city to test the golden slave first, Zhi Yanzhi immediately shook his head like a rattle and said urgently: "I will never let you be suspected, girl, absolutely not." ”
"Alright."
Seeing him like this, Zhe Meifeng once again showed a maturity that did not match her age, and waved her hand at him and said, "Your girl is also a disciple of Fairy Xiyao, although her cultivation may not be the opponent of that demon snake and Liu Duhu." But if they really want to catch me, it will not be easy. That's it, I'm going out of town......"
"Girl, don't ......"
Hearing this, Orihiko didn't wait to stop it, but after a sentence, Ori Meifeng flew up and flew out of the courtyard.
only threw down Orihiko and looked at the place where she disappeared in a daze, and only after a long time did he whisper leisurely: "I hope the girl is not in any danger!" Otherwise, I will have to bear a layer of infamy of unfilial piety and injustice! ”
……
Wutai City, Taifu Mansion.
After Liu Xing received Liu Qi's report, he stared at Liang Xing with a torch and said, "Then why did Zhi Yanzhi turn against his father?" ”
Liang Xing answered the question and replied calmly: "Zhi Yanzhi is a concubine, and he has been blinded and bullied by his clan since he was a child. ”
"And how did he get his military power?" When the second question was asked, Liu Xing said secretly in his heart: This Zhi Yanzhi is from the same background as the master, if he can open the city gate and let the master get Fuzhou City without a fight, then the master will definitely not treat him badly in the future.
Liang Xing's face still did not change, and he replied calmly: "Zhi Yanzhi was sent to Wangwushan to learn art since he was a child, and he studied under the hidden masters. He studied art for seven years, and when he returned to his hometown, he encountered the Xixia attack Lin and the mansion. At the age of sixteen, he single-handedly challenged seven party members. Since then, he has become famous in a war, and has been personally sealed and summoned by the Emperor Taishang, so that he has today's military power. ”
"I see, then it seems that Zhi Yanzhi is also an unyielding boy who is unwilling to be crushed to death by his background under the world." After listening to Liang Xing's answer, Liu Xing's feeling of sympathy in his heart became even stronger.
After a short pause, Liu Xingyin had a feeling of the same fate, and immediately said with a straight face: "Then you immediately go and give a direct order to the Tiance Lux in the city and tell them." As long as Orihiko is willing to open the city, I will give him three guarantees. The first guarantee is that those who are stubborn will not be killed except for the reduction of gold. The second guarantee is that the soldiers of his family will continue to be managed for generations. The third guarantee is that I would like to give Zhang Yang the position of deputy secretary of the palace, and I am willing to grant it to him. Moreover, as long as he opens the city, I will ask the emperor to give him a title, no longer the so-called class, and this time he will be directly named an earl or even a marquis. ”
"I'm afraid that's all there is to it, and it can't completely dispel his concerns." Liu Xing's voice fell, and Ma Kuo, who was sitting on the side, suddenly spoke: "I'm afraid that Zheyan wants to open the city but has not opened the city for a long time, or the concern is that the young marshal is an alien who has transformed into a human with a fairy snake." In his heart, he must have designated the young marshal as a demon, and he was afraid that the young marshal would break his promise after entering the city and kill the people in the city and his family indiscriminately. ”
Ma Kuo, who was born in Wuju, is not only good at diplomacy, but also very good at reading people.
He was able to read some of Liu Xing's thoughts, so Liu Xing did not completely abandon him and Wang Gao and Ye Mengde from the critical moment when he made decisions on important matters.
Since he can even read some of Liu Xing's thoughts, it is naturally not difficult for him to read Zhiyanzhi.
So after Ma Kuo fell, Liu Xing immediately turned his head sideways and asked him, "If that's the case, does Governor Ma have any other way to let him open the city immediately?" ”
Frowning and pondering for a while, when Ma Kuo looked at Liu Xing again, a mysterious smile appeared on his face: "Taifu has never been married yet, right?" ”
I don't know what to do, Liu Xingdao: "I want Fuzhou to surrender without a fight, so that Zhiyan will open the city directly so that my army's own hands and feet will be killed, what does this have to do with whether the master is married or not?" ”
"Zhi Yan has a girl named Zhi Meifeng, who is one year younger than him."
Ma Kuo did not immediately relieve his doubts, but continued to smile mysteriously: "That Zhe Meifeng is also said to be a disciple of the Immortal Family, and she has learned some immortal methods since she was a child. and is also the daughter of a concubine, who grew up being bullied by the clansmen. Because of the similar circumstances, when Zhi Yanzhi was young, until now he has grown into a general, Zhi Meifeng is the closest person to Zhi Yanzhi. ”
"What are you talking about?" Liu Xing felt unconscious, and said with some anger: "The master already has a kind of seven ladies, even if I have one husband and two wives, the other wife will only be Yang San Niangzi." You can't let me learn Han Guangwu, right? ”
"If you want to achieve great things, why be small?" Ma Kuo's mysterious smile disappeared, and he looked at Liu Xingdao with a straight face: "Taifu is really a good thinker, and the lower officials came up with a plan that can make Zhi Yanzhi completely dispel his worries, and you saw through it." ”
"I'll go to your grandfather's!"
Liu Xing never thought that Ma Kuo's so-called method was to let him marry Zhi Yanzhi's closest aunt.
In the past, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu attacked Hebei, had no soldiers, no generals, and had to marry Guo Shengtong, and only with the help of Guo Shengtong's maternal uncle did he settle Hebei, and had the great cause of sweeping the world and recovering the Han Dynasty in the future.
But as a result of what Liu Xiu did back then, although he made a huge personal and emotional sacrifice to the world and the country. But what was really harmed by him was Yin Lihua, who was happy with him and loved each other when he was poor.
Today's Yan Ling is obviously not the kind of woman who is good at forbearance like Yin Lihua, even if Yang Ling'er is willing to accept herself in the future, I am afraid that she will not be willing to give up the main room and do the side room by herself.
Because he knew the two women around him, Liu Xing knew that he couldn't be Emperor Guangwu. What's more important is that Liu Xing's own thinking has decided that it may be okay to deal with two women, and no matter how much he has, he will feel tired and heartbroken.
So after scolding Ma Kuo, Liu Xing stood up "rubbing", shook his head and said: "Absolutely not, the master is not Liu Xiu, and he can't deal with the people he loves and the people he doesn't love at the same time." I will marry what I love, and I will not marry what I don't love. (To be continued......)
