Bian Cheng.
Today's Bian city is different from the past. At the South Gate of Bian City, the people of Bian city are already crowded. All the soldiers in black armor were standing outside the gate of the city, keeping the people behind. In front of the city gate, there are dozens of people in black armor and black robes. These people are not simple. They are generals and senior officials in the hall of the post Qin Dynasty. In ordinary times, the common people have no chance to see so many senior officials and generals, but this time the people are not the target of the crowd.
But in front of these high-ranking officials and powerful generals, there were four men, all dressed in yellow robes, which were embroidered with golden unicorn patterns. In the post Qin state, only a few princes of the latter Qin state could wear such clothes, and these four people were the big prince Yingshi, the second prince yingnai, the fourth Prince Yingqi and the fifth Prince Yingyang.
The four princes were in their thirties from the eldest prince to the fifth prince. Their age span was very large, but their expressions were the same, all of them were unhappy. The reason is simple. This time, they came to welcome the third prince, Yingzhen, who came back from the triumphant victory with the imperial edict of Ying Yan.
The southern expedition led by Ying Zhen made great contributions to the later Qin state. It not only recaptured the eight cities occupied by Dachang state, but also attacked the territory of Dachang state in one breath, extending the territory of the latter Qin state which had not been expanded for more than ten years. Although it was the vanguard General of Yingzhen who did all this, Ying Zhen himself did not fight a single battle. However, the vanguard general is the subordinate of Yingzhen. If he makes contributions, it means that Yingzhen has made contributions. After the four princes got the news, they all secretly envied that Yingzhen had found such a talent. Now Yingzhen has become a hot figure in the post Qin state. For them, that is not good news. The more famous the winner is, the more competitive it will be for the throne. They all covet the throne and naturally do not want to see the real benefits of winning.
But the emperor's life was hard to do. Now their father ordered them to come to meet Yingzhen. Even if they were unwilling to do so, they would come. In addition, Ying Yan also ordered them to bring all the civil and military officials in the imperial court to meet them, which gave rise to the scene of Bian city gate. And those people who were watching also heard that the army that had won a great victory in Dachang came back, and they all came to see the glory of the victorious division.
Among the four brothers, the eldest is the eldest prince. Winning is the worst patient. Although they only wait here for less than half an hour, he can't sit still. He looked up at the sun in the sky and the horizon in the distance. He said impatiently, "the third one is really big! How can we wait for him here for so long
In terms of self-restraint, it is the youngest fifth prince, Yingyang, who is the most outstanding. When he hears Yingshi's complaints, Yingyang just smiles, but says nothing. The second prince won because his eldest son had always looked down on the great prince who was born out of the common people. When he saw that he was complaining, he said with disdain: "if you are tired, you may as well go back first! Just have me here
Among the several princes, the relationship between Yingshi and yingnai was the worst. Hearing that Ying was a hidden sarcasm, Ying was immediately unable to contain himself. He jumped up from his seat, pointed to yingnai and said, "second! What do you mean by that
Yingnai doesn't pay any attention to Yingshi's shouting and drinking. The fourth Prince Yingqi, who sits beside yingnai, frowns and says, "brother! second elder brother! Stop arguing! Don't you see people all around here? Do you want to lose all the Royal faces in this public place? "
It's OK not to say that winning is good, but to say so is to make her face red with anger. She pointed to yingnai and then pointed to Yingqi. Finally, she said with anger and smile: "OK! Good! Good! How many of you are brothers? When do you pay attention to my elder brother? Shame on me, right? Today I want to see who is losing the face of the royal family! "
Seeing that the winning was more and more irritable, the civil and military officials behind him all frowned, and they knew why the win was like this. In recent years, winning is in the fight for the throne, and has gradually fallen behind. Although he is the eldest son of Yingyan, he is not out of the court. In terms of his identity, it is absolutely not better than winning, but the legitimate eldest son. In the past, we can still rely on the previous military achievements as the cornerstone, but with the third prince winning Zhen and the fourth Prince winning, they gradually show up in the army, and his previous advantages are almost exhausted.
After the last invasion of the Three Kingdoms, the state of Qin was ordered to repel the enemy of the state of Zhou. This was an excellent opportunity for the state to win, and it just allowed him to revive his military power. However, I didn't expect that winning was really a strategy. Relying on a letter, the enemy who was used to show his victory was withdrawn. Winning was useless at all and could only come back indignantly. On the contrary, it helped win Zhen's reputation. At the thought of this matter, winning is a lot of fire. Originally, the soldiers were divided into three groups, each of them played their own way, and no one was in the way of anyone. But winning really had to be done horizontally. Fortunately, I heard that winning really made the plan of winning the game yellow. I was able to balance my mind.
Winning is a good thing in his heart, which is more and more hate, but his father asked him to meet Yingzhen, which of course made him unhappy. Therefore, the irony of winning was to let Yingshi's anger burst out. Although those civil and military officials understood the reason, how could they manage the emperor's family affairs? So they only looked at the sky and the earth one by one, pretending to see nothing and hear nothing.These irrelevant people can pretend that they can't see or hear, but after winning, he ye, who is the chief think tank of his subordinates, can't ignore it. Immediately, he quickly walked to win Yee's side, and hugged Yingshi and called out: "Your Highness! It's hot and dry. Please drink tea to eliminate the dryness. " Then he picked up the tea cup that had been prepared for a long time, poured the tea, and handed it to the winner.
When it was delivered to the winner, he said in a low voice, "Your Highness! Don't make trouble here. Otherwise, not only your Highness's face is not good-looking, but also it will be very harmful to your highness! Please think again, your highness After that, he immediately stepped back, as if nothing had happened. He really just wanted to give a cup of tea to win, and returned directly to the team at the back.
Win is that although he has a bad temper, one thing is that he is obedient to his mastermind and listen to what he Ye says. Winning is that this is forcing his anger down. He thought carefully and knew that what he ye said was not wrong. This time they came under the orders of the emperor. If he made trouble here and was known by his father, he was afraid that his impression in his father's heart would be greatly reduced. Immediately, win is a cold hum, holding a cup of water, then angrily sat back to his seat, sulking.
The other princes are also men Qing in their hearts about the little Jiu between winning and he Ye. It's a pity in their hearts that it's a pity to catch the fire of winning and wait for it to be a fool to win. It's all over. In addition, the several princes also secretly envied that winning was that his subordinates could have such talents, and they all had a kind of idea of casting pearls and shadows.
However, they also know that he Ye is loyal to win, and it is impossible to change his heart. Therefore, they have no idea to win over he Ye. They can only secretly cry out a pity and turn their mind to other aspects. Now that they won't have any action for the time being, they all began to set their goal on the third prince who was about to arrive in Biancheng.
This win really made a great achievement. Not only was it a displeasure to win, but also the other princes were not in a good mood. They were all thinking about how to deal with the brother who now has the upper hand. As the so-called royal family has no kinship, a dragon chair is enough to make them fraternal. As long as they can successfully ascend the throne, even if they are brothers, they should do whatever they can!
As time goes by, the people around have become impatient and disperse a lot, but most of the young people still stay. After all, young people are hot-blooded elements. They always have some fanatical admiration for the victorious soldiers. They also hope to see with their own eyes Li Yuanhe, the vanguard general who slaughtered the southern barbarians in Jiangcheng, to see if he has three heads and six arms, or how he can make such great contributions.
And those civil servants can't bear it. They can't compare with the four princes. They have special treatment and chairs. All of them had to wait at the gate of the city. For a long time, the military officers could still resist, but the civil servants who had no strength to tie the chicken could not bear it. If it had not been for maintaining their dignity as officials in front of the people, I would have sat on the ground for a rest. But even so, they also feel their legs, back are numb, as if not their own general. In their hearts, these civil servants can only wish constantly to let the army of Yingzhen arrive quickly, so that they can at least move about.
I don't know if their wish had worked. Before long, I heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the front. On the horizon in the distance, a piece of dust slowly rose. Seeing this, all the people could not help but feel refreshed, and the four princes all stood up from their seats and looked into the distance.
