Chapter 85

Yu Chuxin took a look around. At this time, the Shenghuang square was in a mess. The soldiers of Xiajun Pro guard, Zuojian forbidden guard, Ziji Imperial Guard and Qianyang Imperial Guard were converging on the corpses of paoze. Everyone's face was full of anger and sadness. In the afternoon, there were some laughing brothers in the army. At this time, they had become a cold corpse.

In the war tonight, the four guards suffered more than 2000 casualties. The most serious casualties were the pro guards of the lower army and the forbidden guards of the left army. This kind of injury may not be much for the legions guarding the border, but it is the first time for these forbidden guards stationed in the Imperial city. Every soldier who belongs to the fourth guard has a breath in his heart. In addition to carefully covering his robe with white cloth and carrying it to the carriage, he throws away the dead soldiers of the Marquis's mansion and the Dark Phoenix assassins, as if he can vent his anger.

The pro guards of the upper army and the forbidden guards of the right army, who were originally stationed on both sides of the East and the north, sent some people to help, but they were driven back by the commander of the Fourth Army. Although they also knew that the two guards could not leave without permission because of their duties, and it was reasonable for them not to be reinforced, they were not hurt when they saw that they had half a battalion of casualties, It's a pity that they are the same guards.

Fengxiang army left a ten thousand people camp, led by Gu Jieyun, surrounded the whole Shenghuang square. The Phoenix flag, which symbolizes Fengxiang army, fluttered slowly in the wind. After the Fengxiang army entered the city, except for Su Leyi, the military adviser, who took a ten thousand people battalion to inspect the eighteen Marquis's residence, the remaining 100000 people came after they took over the imperial defense of the Changqing army.

Facing the Fengxiang army, who has made great achievements in the war and has an overwhelming advantage, the Houfu soldiers and the people recruited by the Houfu almost lost the courage to continue to fight for the first time. They defy their weapons and are bound, because they all know that the law of Daqian is not strict. Although they are plotting rebellion, they are only guilty of treason, and they will not be pulled out of Chaoyang Gate to get a knife, At most, if they are sentenced to hard labor or banished, their lives can still be saved. Therefore, although some people were injured in Fengxiang army, no one died.

Yu Yuanxu and Yu Chuqing follow Yu Chuxin's eyes, also quietly looking at all these, their expressions are a little complicated.

At this time, jingzhaoyin's house also sent more than a dozen Water Dragons to fight the fire. The water jet from the bamboo tube continuously cleaned the bluestone that had been dyed red by blood. The bluestone washed by the water dragon shows its original appearance again, but the washed blood is like a bloody stream flowing slowly towards the drainage ditch around the square.

Seeing such a scene, Yu Yuanxu, the emperor of Qian Dynasty, showed a trace of impatience on his face. He was benevolent and kind-hearted. After he ascended the throne, he was even more willing to accept the advice of the virtuous, and worked hard. Even if there were occasional physical discomfort, there was no neglect of the government. Although the self-consciousness is not as good as the sage emperor in ancient times, he can be regarded as a wise monarch. However, he had no choice but to have two rebellions during his reign, both of which took place in the capital of the emperor. He did not know how future generations would evaluate him as emperor Hongxi.

Yu Yuanxu stares at the bloody water, turns around, looks at the huge statue of the queen behind him, and murmurs, "I don't know what Taizu will think when he sees such a scene. It's my fault that all these men died of internal strife. "

With that, Yu Yuanxu took two steps forward. Regardless of the blood, he fell down on his knees under the statue of the empress with a plop. "Ancestors are on the top. Yuanxu is incompetent, which leads to today's disaster."

At this time, Yu Yuanxu, the emperor of Qian Dynasty, was extremely subdued. The first emperor died early, and he was not in the crown when he succeeded. In the early days, Yu Chuqing, the emperor's elder sister, was in charge of the government. Since the destruction of the Qingyang Empire, the eldest princess was still in charge of him. At this time, he realized that if he didn't want to be an emperor, it would be a miserable thing for those who ascended the throne.

After 20 years in charge of the universe, Yu Yuanxu almost never had a good sleep. He made great use of good officials and appointed capable officials. Although Daqian's Officialdom was not completely corrupt, it was much clearer than the corruption of the former Emperor.

At this time, the Empire of Daqian, with its people happy and prosperous, had begun to take shape. Yu Yuanxu has almost done what he can. But even so, it still can't contain some people's personal desires, so that something like this happened tonight.

"Your Majesty." Seeing the lost expression on the emperor's face, empress Lu Qin went up to him and helped him up. "All the 18 Marquis's houses are people's ghosts. If you don't move, you'll be yourself. If you move, you'll be a disaster. As far as the country is concerned, your Majesty's move is to eliminate evil and to return a clear and just court situation in the world. As far as the family is concerned, his majesty also keeps Chuxin, and he is full of flesh and blood. There is nothing wrong with what we have done. "

Yu Yuanxu stared at Qin for a long time, then nodded. Then he turned and looked at the Chongsheng tower standing on the edge of Shenghuang square, and said with emotion, "although it is so, how can people live and how can soldiers live?"

"Your Majesty." The prime minister, Zhuge Xingzhi, came in a hurry. As soon as the ministers left, he, the Prime Minister of the cabinet, was unable to leave. After he ordered his son zhugewei to be sent home, he arranged for good aftercare.

Today is the festival of lunar night, and the full moon is in the sky. Originally, it was supposed to be the imperial court who came out to celebrate with the people. But this happened. Almost every family in the capital is closed now. Although the people don't know about the situation, the explosion of the altar and the subsequent shouting and killing can be heard in the whole capital. At this time, the hundred surnames are scared and hiding at home.

Zhugewei, who was supposed to appease the people, was injured again, so it is natural for him, the prime minister, to arrange his staff to appease the people and stabilize the people.

"Teacher, what's the situation in Beijing?" There was no outsider here, and Yu Yuanxu was no longer the old Prime Minister of Zhuge.

"Alas, when the rebellion broke out, every family closed, and every shop closed, and there was no more festive joy." Zhuge Xingzhi also had some helplessness in his mind. He would abdicate for a few more years at his age. However, such a thing happened during his assistant administration. Although the whole thing has nothing to do with him, the world may not think so. At least one of his mistakes should be put on him.

Now I think Luo canglan, the Duke of the state of an, asked to resign soon after the rebellion of the king of Dongping. It's estimated that he also had the idea of retreating bravely in order to block the world. It is estimated that he will not be Prime Minister for a long time. Although he is not a man who loves to be in power, if Lu Chun, Duke of Wei, does not take over the post of prime minister, there is no one who is qualified for the post of prime minister in terms of ability, character and prestige.

"Alas." The empress and the emperor also sighed and looked at the eternal moon in the sky, thinking about how to eliminate the influence of this incident.

"We can't hide such a big news. Tomorrow morning, we will issue a notice in the name of the cabinet to make clear what happened tonight, so as to reassure the people." At this time, Princess Yu Chuqing spoke. Although she had not touched the government for more than ten years, her character was more decisive than that of Emperor Yu Yuanxu. Since she could not hide it, she announced the truth, which saved people a lot of speculation and led to rumors and uneasiness.

After thinking about it, Yu Chuqing said, "Tomorrow your majesty will do the same. From tomorrow on, in the name of calming down the rebellion of the Marquis's house and reopening the lunar Lantern Festival, the gate of the city will not be closed, and the night square will not be able to help. The royal family will give a banquet in the streets of heaven and celebrate with the people for three days. Then the third division tried the case as soon as possible and announced the crime of the eighteen Marquis's house. After the three-day banquet, the punishment was given

"Well, sister Huang, is it too wasteful to give a banquet in Tianjie for three days?" Yu Yuanxu, the emperor of Qian Dynasty, has a painful look on his face. It's nothing to announce today's affairs in his mind. Although he wanted to check and balance the court for the emperor, he never used any shady tricks. He was originally a magnanimous person. He didn't intend to hide the things tonight.

But in Tianjie put out water mat, give banquet for three days, this let him flesh pain. You know, during his years in office, he was always thrifty and extravagant, which changed the atmosphere of Da Qian. Now it's time to give a banquet on the whole Tianjie street. That day, the street runs through the north and south of the capital. If you give a banquet in three days, you can't get it down.

"The hearts of the people are the foundation of a nation. As long as the hearts of the people can be stabilized, the money is worth it." Yu Chuqing can't help laughing when she sees Yu Yuanxu's expression as if he had been cut. He knew that the younger brother didn't like flashiness. After he ascended the throne, he didn't set up a garden or add a palace, and he could save money on the use of flowers in the back palace. Even so, he has always been generous in his military and political spending. As long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, even if it is half a year's tax, he will pay it. How can he be stingy now.

"Your Majesty, what the princess said is that now the imperial court needs to eliminate the influence of tonight. The Tianjie banquet is just right, and the cost is not much. In recent years, the tax has been sufficient, and the household department has a lot of money, so it should not be a problem." Prime Minister Zhuge Xingzhi also advised.

"But ~" Yu Yuanxu hesitated. "But zhugeju, commander of Tianhuo army, has just reported that the whole army of Tianhuo needs to change its weapons. I've already agreed that it will cost a lot of money. In addition, Hou Zheng of Wu'an is leading the army to confront CHIDI at piaoyueguan. He also needs a lot of money and food every month. This year, the tax has not been collected. Can the Ministry of accounts really support the end of the year? "

"This ~" when he heard that his son was involved in the incident, Zhuge Xingzhi stopped talking. Tianhuo had 150000 troops. If the whole army really changed its weapons, it would really need a lot of money, but the military affairs were handled by the foreign cabinet. Although zhugeju, commander-in-chief of Tianhuo army, was his son, he didn't ask much. At this time, he really didn't know the details.

"Your Majesty, the so-called" fifteen moon and sixteen round moon "stirred the people's happiness tonight. The imperial court should make some compensation." Queen Lu Qin also spoke. Although the harem could not be in charge of politics, she knew that the emperor was used to thrift, and she was not really reluctant to do so, so she said it.

"All right. According to the emperor's sister Yu Yuanxu nodded and agreed,

"The old minister retired." Zhuge Xingyan is about to leave. There are many things he needs to deal with tonight. It is estimated that he doesn't even have time to sleep. Naturally, he has no time to delay here.

"Prime minister Zhuge, stay here." Seeing that Zhuge was about to leave, Yu Chuxin quickly stopped him and said, "I don't know how Zhuge's injury is. Can I go to the government to see him?" At this time, in the face of his future father-in-law, where does Yu Chuxin still have the power of the master of Dark Phoenix? His words are shy and timid, and his face is even red before he finishes his words.

"It's natural for the Zhuge family to welcome the princess." Zhuge Xingzhi said with a smile, and then looked at the emperor and the princess. He only knew a part of the matter tonight. He always thought that the situation tonight was set up by these two people, just to lead the eighteen Marquis's house to start, so as to catch all of them. As for what role Yu Chuxin played in it, and whether the emperor and the eldest princess really want Yu Chuxin, the seventh princess, to return to Daqian, he doesn't know much about it. It all depends on the meaning of the two.

Yu Chuqing and Yu Yuanxu look at each other, then at Yu Chuxin. Seeing her little daughter's face, they can't help but smile and say, "old prime minister, choose an auspicious day and send two wild geese to the palace."

When Zhuge Xingzhi heard this, he was relieved, nodded with a smile on his face, saluted several people and left in a hurry.

The six rites of Daqian marriage alliance are: accept, ask for name, accept auspicious, accept, ask for date and welcome by relatives. In addition to accept the levy, the other five rites are required to be presided over by the man with high prestige, leading the goose. Taking the wild goose as a gift symbolizes the harmony and loyalty of a couple's marriage.

Now that the eldest princess said that she would send two Xiyan to the palace, it shows that there is no obstacle for the seventh Princess Yu Chuxin to return to Daqian. The eldest princess is the eldest daughter of the former Emperor, and the emperor is the eldest son. The so-called eldest brother is like the father, and the eldest sister is like the mother. At the moment when the former Emperor and the Empress Dowager are not in the world, these two can make the decision for Yu Chuxin's marriage.

"Thank you, elder sister Huang. Thank you, elder brother Huang." Yu Chuxin salutes Yu Chuqing and Yu Yuanxu with a touch of emotion. Although she was only exiled for ten years at the beginning, it's long past now, but today's affairs have a lot to do with her. If she returns to the capital as a Royal Princess, she will inevitably be criticized. You should know that the Imperial Envoys of Yushitai don't sell face.

But now that the eldest princess Yu Chuqing has said such a thing, it means that she and the emperor are responsible for it, and all the blame should be dealt with by them. Naturally, Yu Chuxin is grateful. The only thing she can't let go for so many years is Zhuge Wei. Now that her wish is coming true, Yu Chuxin can't help feeling happy. She has a feeling of seeing the moon through the clouds.

"It's all my own family. Don't say that." Yu Yuanxu opens his mouth and says that Yu Chuxin's ability to return to Beijing has also cleared his mind of a matter that has been on his mind for many years.

"Yes, it's all from your own family. Seven elder sister, you can come back." Yu Yuanpu, the king of Zhongyang, also says with a smile, but his eyes are full of excitement. There are only five people left in the imperial family now. You can see that Yu Chuxin returns to the royal family, and the family can get together. For Yu Yuanpu, who is very affectionate, nothing is more important.

"Eight, thank you." Yu Chuxin smiles and pats Yu Yuanpu on the shoulder, just like when he was young. The reason why she said thank you is that Yu Yuanpu, the king of Zhongyang, provided her with a lot of convenience in secret when she was just exiled in Shahai. Let her through the most difficult period at the beginning.

"You're my sister. I should do everything." Yu Yuanpu doesn't shy away from Yu Chuqing and Yu Yuanxu either, because he knows that at the beginning, whether he sent someone to protect him secretly or entrusted Daqian caravan to deliver materials to Yu Chuxin, the seventh elder sister, these two people were all aware of it, but they just didn't know it.

"Yuanpu, all the soldiers and soldiers who died in the battle tonight have to register and make a good pension. On the way near, they sent the corpses back to their hometown. On the way far away, they burned them separately and sent the ashes to their families Yu Yuanxu looked at the four guards who carried the corpse and said.

"I know, brother. I've already ordered this matter to go on." Yu Yuanpu's face became solemn when he heard that he was one of the three soldiers in the military. All the soldiers who died in the battle could be regarded as his soldiers. He just learned about the loss in this battle, and he had a hard time in his heart.

"Not only that." Yu Chuqing, the eldest princess, said that "the craftsman of the Ministry of industry engraved the pictures of their faces on the wall of the imperial capital to show their achievements today, and let their spirits guard our imperial city forever."

Zhongyang Wang Wenyan looked at Qian Huang Yu Yuanxu again. He nodded his head, straightened his body, and gave a military salute with his hands clasping his fists. "My brother thanks my brother and sister for the dead soldiers."

In the former frontier fortresses of blue city, HeiShiGuan, and now the important border towns of piaoyueguan and Hanshan pass, the walls of these frontier fortresses are engraved with relief sculptures of soldiers who died to protect Daqian, so as to show their achievements for later generations to look forward to and remember. But in this capital, it is the first time. This is tantamount to giving infinite honor to the soldiers who died tonight. As a military prime minister, Yu Yuanpu naturally wants to thank each other.

"Seven younger sisters, what do you want to say?" Yu Yuanxu sees Yu Chuxin's lips wriggle twice, with an expression of desire to talk and stop.

"The people in the Dark Phoenix have been with me for many years. I don't want to be buried in a beautiful place. Can I find a beautiful place to bury my bones?" Yu Chuxin some hesitant said, said the words are some stumbling. Although she is divided into eight parts, she built them up by herself. All the people who brought her to the capital this time are ferocious, and they all have their own ways of death. After all, she has been called to her for so many years. Lord, she can't bear to watch them kill themselves in the wilderness and eat for wild animals.

"Seven younger sisters, as far as I know, although the Dark Phoenix is eight, what you directly master is the sum of the other seven. It's not all the people who have entered the capital this time. " Yu Chuqing did not answer Yu Chuxin's words, but asked.

"Now that I'm back in Beijing, how can I not give my second brother a big gift? The leader of Tianxing is old, and all the sons are covetous for the throne. For example, today, the Xingchao hall has been divided into four groups, and they are constantly criticizing each other, but the king of Tianxing is still alive, which controls the contradictions within a certain range. If he suddenly dies suddenly, his country will be in chaos, and then the imperial brother will send a general, Then we can take the country as our great qianbian county. " When Yu Chuxin said this, he became the master of the Dark Phoenix who killed decisively. His eyes were full of killing intention.

"In this case, the death penalty will be eliminated. Eight younger brothers, you should send someone to bury the people who died tonight in the mountains beside Tingtao lake. It's a good place to bury bones there Yu Chuqing thought about it and said.

"I see." Yu Yuanpu nodded.

"Chuxin thanks Huang Changjie." Yu Chuxin salutes and thanks, and the Red Eagle and orange cuckoo standing behind him are also relieved. Since they are allowed to bury the Dark Phoenix, they will not be investigated again.
