Near the end of the new year, there is unrest on all sides. Even the people living in the capital feel a little uneasy.
It is known that the well-informed general who went to the west to level the barbarian rebellion has died. Now the imperial court has changed another one.
This message quickly spread among the people.
"Who is who?"
The people in the capital are curious. Who doesn''t want a good day? If it''s peaceful in the west, they can live in the capital far away and have a bottom of their heart.
In a few days.
"Hiss, how... How could it be that?"
"Old Xu, tell me who it is?"
"Chengen Hou!"
Now, the others were surprised and said strangely.
"Hou Chengen, isn''t that the Marquis who defeated the barbarian army five years ago and lost all the five cities in the west? I heard that he had an affair with foreign enemies... If it weren''t for the emperor''s benevolence, judging from the past achievements of the Marquis of Chengen, I believe they would have been beheaded! "
"It''s not that one. The one who went there in those years, along with his two sons. Now Chengen Hou is his last little son. Let me put it another way, waste hou... You know?"
"Ah, it was him."
"Why doesn''t he die together if he cooperates with the enemy and betrays the country? Is it really your Majesty''s kindness? "
For a time, these people all pointed at Chengen Hou and looked contemptuous. Suddenly, an old man nearby couldn''t see it anymore.
"Enough!"
Everyone looked.
The old man said angrily, "how dare you talk nonsense here about things without evidence? If he really cooperated with the enemy, how could the emperor bypass the Duke of Chengen? "
"That''s..."
"With the heroic spirit of old Chengen Hou, he was set up by the traitor and framed to death!"
Hiss——
Everyone took a sip.
"You young people don''t know what others say. What do you know?"
The rest of the people saw the sound of what he said, and there seemed to be a raging fire burning in their eyes. The flame was momentarily low, "this... Please make it clear."
The old man snorted, "you only know today''s peace. I want my old man to say that if there was no old Chengen Hou and the protection of previous generations, the foreign cavalry would have flattened our capital early!"
"I was lucky enough to see Lao Chengen Hou when I returned to the dynasty. I think he has a righteous face. The rest are full of spirit and will not do such a thing!"
"Don''t you look at these generals now and those who were sent to fight the chaos last time. It is said that they were killed by the town just after they went to the battlefield. They are just a bunch of wine bags and rice bags? It''s really up to them. Now you''re afraid to be slaves and slaves under the barbarians! "
“……”
The old man spoke loudly. As soon as the people around him listened, it seemed that this truth was gradually persuaded by him.
After all, as long as you''ve experienced everything.
Even though there are many bad rumors about this Chengen Hou in recent years, they still keep it in their hearts.
Besides, if the emperor is really a traitor, how can he bear it for the sake of the world and the common people?
It''s also strange that the emperor set up a man for the Ming monarch.
Someone found the key.
"Well... Who spread that rumor?"
Another middle-aged man stood up and snorted, "who knows? We don''t know about these big people. Anyway, they are all rotten butts. Are there few dog officials who don''t do anything with a salary? "
"Is it possible for Chengen hou to win the war and return?"
"I don''t know. Alas, in the war a few years ago, old Chengen Hou and his two sons died for the country. Even if the younger son survived, he lost all his martial arts and disabled his legs. He became a complete loser. His temperament has changed greatly since then."
"I''ve seen him once. He rode on a tall horse and smiled at us... Ah ~ what a handsome little gentleman. I heard that he was once a young genius."
"Girl Wang, you must have loved him?"
The woman blushed with shame.
"I''m afraid I can''t."
Seeing everyone''s eyes, the man lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the emperor only sent him 30000 troops and horses, and there were 100000 last. I''m afraid I don''t believe the strength of Chengen Hou."
"More than that, the grandson of my aunt''s second mother-in-law in my village is a soldier. It is said that 30000 soldiers appointed by the emperor are old, weak and disabled soldiers. Ouch, how can they be worth barbarian iron cavalry."
"Ah? Isn''t that going to die? "
And when he had finished, he was speechless, saying, is the holy thing that they, the people, can talk in vain? They covered their mouths tightly, and their faces were full of fear.
Fortunately, these people around are just talking, and no one wants to sue.
"Keep your voice down. Who knows what the holy master means today? Alas, after the defeat, there were people scolding the Marquis of Chengen in the capital. But look at these generals now. Which one is promising?"
"So, it''s not easy for the young Marquis... He has been dressed as the Duke of Chengen for nearly a hundred years. Now there is only this single seedling left. He was assassinated some time ago. He survived by luck, but his wife hasn''t been seen yet. He was abandoned and was accompanied by such a person... It''s a pity to think so."
"Those big officials in the capital do their best to do nothing. Now when the country is in danger, they push a little Marquis out. If it is said that the former little Marquis could defeat the barbarians, but now... Hey, it''s just to find someone to act as a disaster for them."
Hearing the speech, the people who talked were silent.
"The dog officer killed that day!"
"Chengen Hou is a good man!"
"Your Majesty doesn''t care?"
"Shh - keep your voice down, let people hear you. It''s going to kill your head!"
No matter how stupid the people are, they also know that small life is important. Seeing that there is no salvation in the west, they are full of despair. They also feel pity for the little Marquis who went to resist the enemy with his sick and weak body.
Although the hope is slim
"I hope the little Marquis can inherit the looks of his parents and grandparents, successfully resist barbarians and return safely."
"Oh, I hope."
……
Initially speaking for Xie Jinglan, those people looked at each other, and a faint smile flowed from the bottom of their eyes. Obviously, they were prepared to say these words.
The emperor wanted to use this event to completely defeat Xie Jinglan or the last reputation of the Marquis of Chengen among the people. He didn''t want to be used by Xie Jinglan, and bit by bit washed away the grievances covered on the lintel of the Marquis of Chengen.
Thank the emperor, too.
At first, in line with the idea of tormenting him, he didn''t cut the super root, but had to leave him one more life.
Now he has climbed out of hell.
The emperor is calculating that Xie Jinglan will soon arrive at the battlefield at this time. He is lying on the bed of Chu Xiyue. The former Duanfei has now become a Duan concubine. Even Xie Jinglan''s fiancee will be played by him now!
The emperor even thought that Xie Jinglan''s body was working all the way. Maybe he would die before he reached the battlefield.
Unfortunately.
Although it is said that the death of a hundred people has solved a worry of the emperor, things have changed. Now it is better for Xie Jinglan to return alive after the defeat.
Then he can take this to completely smash the last reputation of the Hou house. As the last pulse of Chengen Hou house, Xie Jinglan will also become a sinner for thousands of people.
He is still the emperor of the world!
-
Three days later, I went to the hall and hurried eight hundred miles.
Only with Xie Jinglan now, the emperor knew that this must be bad news, but strangely, he was not much flustered at the bottom of his heart, but still with a smile.
However, we should still show concern: "how is the war?"
"Report - Pingxi general''s first victory defeated barbarian General Hu bituo, led our troops to kill countless barbarian armies all the way and recaptured Guanju city!!"
The emperor stood up with a bang. His wrinkled face was unbelievable, "what?!"

I''m very sorry to interrupt
I don''t like the number of words inserted in the text very much, but now there is a very important problem——
Does anyone remember what I named this dynasty? Qin? Wei? Jin? Summer? After going through the setting data and text, I didn''t find it. Please tell me if you know anything. My head should be useless (: з」 ∠)_
PS: from this chapter on, the little Marquis''s career line is about to be unyielding, one hand covering the sky is just around the corner, as for the emotional line... Chasing his wife crematorium XD
PPS: this book should be able to go up by 2 million. Although I''ve been suffering a lot recently, I still want to finish it according to the outline I set myself. This book won''t be written soon after.]
