Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 63

Chapter 63 Attack and defense

　　"Send the dog out first. It has just recovered from illness. Don't be too affectionate with it!" When he walked to the table, he saw Sang Yu following him step by step, holding Er Bao in his arms. The situation was unsightly. Emperor Wu of Zhou ordered in a deep voice.

　　"Yes." Sensing the man's disgust for the second treasure, Meng Sangyu didn't feel any difference and handed the second treasure to Nanny Feng to carry him out.

　　The emperor has always disliked furry animals, which is well known in the palace. Meng Sangyu was indeed touched by the fact that he was able to find the second treasure for himself and deliver it to Cining Palace in person. It seemed that this man still had some sincerity towards her, but she did not feel ecstatic about it. Instead, she began to calmly calculate how much benefit she could get from his sincerity. Her love was gone long ago in her last life.

　　Seeing that Sang Yu's arms were finally empty, Emperor Wu of Zhou's face became slightly brighter. He picked up his imperial pen and quickly wrote the five cursive characters of "The Second Treasure of Bixiao Palace" and stamped his personal seal on it.

　　The domineering aura of an emperor is vividly displayed on the paper. Such powerful handwriting coupled with the royal seal in the corner makes it a priceless treasure when taken outside, but it is used to make a small dog tag. The empress De Fei is really a gift from nature. Chang Xi cursed while blowing the handwriting dry.

　　"The emperor's calligraphy skills have improved again!" Meng Sangyu couldn't put it down, picked up the silk paper and admired it, sighing.

　　"How do you know that my achievements have improved?" Emperor Wu of Zhou held her in his arms and pinched the tip of her nose teasingly to see how she could remedy the situation. Sang Yu gradually relaxed his vigilance towards him, and occasionally one or two clues would show up, which made him very interested.

　　"Ah, based on intuition. The emperor's handwriting is smoother than last time!" Meng Sangyu's eyes flashed slightly, but his face was confused. That charming and innocent look made men fall in love with him.

　　"Haha, last time I wrote in regular script, with clear strokes and a square structure. This time I wrote in running script, with connected strokes, indulgent and elegant, and it looks natural and smooth." Emperor Wu of Zhou laughed brightly and pinched Sang Yu's cheek. , thinking fondly in his heart: Smart little thing, you can’t come up with such a reason!

　　Meng Sangyu smiled sarcastically, turned her eyes, and changed the subject, "Your Majesty, the sachet you asked for last time has been prepared. Can you take a look?" She walked to the couch and took it out of the sewing box on the table. The two sachets, one large and one small, are both in the style of Liuhe treasure collection. The faint fragrance of plum blossoms comes out from between the fabrics, refreshing the heart and mind.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu's eyes lit up, he took the sachet, put it to his nose and sniffed it, with a joyful smile on his face, "Tie it on for me."

　　Meng Sangyu agreed, lowered her head and tied the sachet to his waist. The pink and white neck that was slightly exposed looked very sweet and delicious, and the trembling eyelashes were curled and curled, making people feel itchy. Emperor Zhou Wu's eyes were dark, his Adam's apple slid up and down, and he finally couldn't help but stretched out his hand, took her into his arms, and lay down on the soft couch.

　　"I'll tie it for you too." He whispered hoarsely, picked up another slightly smaller sachet, tied it tightly around the woman's waist, and finally blocked the woman's sandalwood mouth with his lips and kissed her. Before Meng Sangyu had time to exclaim, he was taken away by the man's superb kissing skills, and his arms unconsciously wrapped around his strong waist.

　　"Your Majesty, it's daytime now, and this is Cining Palace!" She noticed that the man's breathing was getting heavier and heavier, the movements of his hands were getting more and more wanton, and the hardness of his lower body was beating between his legs. Meng Sangyu came back to his senses, He quickly reminded in a low voice, stood up and took a look, and found that the palace maids in the palace had already been driven out by Chang Xi.

　　"Go back to Bixiao Palace tomorrow!" The man pushed her back and ordered with red eyes, his voice was hoarse.

　　Why do you want it if you want it, and don’t want it if you don’t want it? After the lust subsided, Meng Sangyu suddenly felt a rebellious mentality in his heart. Sure enough, a man's sweet words and gentle care are all for the final preparation to get a woman's body! She secretly cursed, but her face was confused. She grabbed the man's shirt and said softly, "But I still have a lot of things to learn. I am scared to manage such a large harem. Please ask the emperor to grant me some mercy for a while." "

　　Emperor Zhou Wu's eyes darkened for a moment. He took a deep breath and sat up straight. He held the woman on his lap. While tidying up her messy clothes, he said casually, "Your father killed 100,000 prisoners of war at the border. The blood dyed the white grassland red, and the smell of blood in the sky attracted vultures from the plateau thousands of miles away, lingering like dark clouds. Today I have received many memorials to impeach him."

　　Meng Sangyu clenched his fists and looked straight at the man.

　　"Many ministers have accused him of being unkind, cruel and unworthy of being in command. If he is not suppressed for a day or two, he may rebel. What do you think?" Emperor Wu of Zhou played with her green and tender fingertips as if casually. inquiry.

　　Hearing the words "fear of revolt", Meng Sangyu's heart tightened and his brain began to spin at high speed. After thinking about her words for a moment, she said tentatively, "How can I, my concubine, make rash comments on the political affairs of the previous dynasty?"

　　"You are the daughter of Duke Meng, and I want to hear your opinion. It doesn't matter, there are only you and me here, but it doesn't matter, I won't blame you!" Emperor Wu of Zhou kissed her fingertips with a look of doting on her face.

　　The man always told the truth, and with his assurance, Meng Sangyu calmed down and spoke slowly, "I dare to ask the emperor, if you don't kill these 100,000 prisoners of war, does the emperor have a perfect way to resettle them? Turn them into slaves? Set aside a piece of land for them to cultivate? Or let them live together with my people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and use the benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and ethics of the Great Zhou Dynasty to inspire them and assimilate them?"

　　Seeing the man frowning and showing worry, she said firmly, "None of these are the solution. The barbarians are martial and live a life of eating hair and drinking blood, and their wild nature has long been implanted in their bones. The humiliation of defeat and the hatred of national subjugation, their hatred of the Great Zhou The hostility is deep-rooted and cannot be eliminated. These 100,000 prisoners of war are all young and middle-aged men. How is it any different from raising tigers to keep them? In a few years, they will be a thorn in my side, and the war may start again! Has the emperor forgotten ten years ago? The Tongcheng Rebellion? Thousands of prisoners of war who settled in Tongcheng suddenly rioted, cooperated inside and outside, led the barbarian army into the city, and killed tens of thousands of people in the city, including their own sons and daughters. Tiger poison does not eat its seeds, which shows that the barbarians He is cruel by nature and cannot be taught, so he cannot be left alone!"

　　After finishing speaking, seeing the man's thoughtful expression, Meng Sangyu pursed his lips and continued, "The only way to deal with such violent people is to use violence to stop violence, to kill to stop killing, and to make them completely terrified! Kill these 100,000 prisoners of war. , the barbarians' vitality has been severely damaged, and it will be difficult for them to regain their strength within a hundred years. How many sufferings of swordsmanship can the people of our Zhou Dynasty be spared, and more than tens of millions of families can be saved? My father's move is also for the sake of the family and the country. Please give me your advice, Your Majesty!"

　　When there is war, there is killing. This is inevitable. Meng Sangyu is not a holy mother, and she will not distance herself from her father, hate him or even scold him just because his hands are stained with blood. Her father was the one who gave her life and raised her. In her heart, a hundred thousand lives could not be worth the weight of her father alone. Is it wrong for parents to protect their children? She doesn't think so.

　　Emperor Zhou Wu played with a strand of Sang Yu's black hair and remained silent for a long time. Seeing her eyes twinkling and frequently glancing at his face, he smiled lightly and said, "That's very well said! It really speaks to my heart!" Sang Yu has such a clear view of the general trend of the world, how can he not manage a small harem? How about taking the Phoenix Seal tomorrow and moving back to Bixiao Palace?"

　　The man's dark eyes were as deep as the night sky, and his extremely aggressive gaze seemed to be able to see through people inside and out. Only then did Meng Sangyu realize that in order to defend his father, he revealed his talents that he had painstakingly hidden. Seeing the man's understanding expression, she could no longer pretend to be blunt, so she could only agree with a stiff smile. Damn it, she seems to have been taken into a cage by this man!

　　Seeing that the woman was clearly upset but did not dare to show it, her pink lips pursed unconsciously, looking indescribably cute and cute. Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled brightly, grabbed her chin and bit her lips hard. Sang Yu loves to pretend, so he wants to set a trap, peel off her disguise layer by layer, and let her reveal her true nature bit by bit. This is also a kind of fun to get along with, isn't it?

　　"I'm going to say hello to the Queen Mother right now. You pack your things and go back early tomorrow morning." Rubbing the tooth marks left by himself with his fingertips, Emperor Zhou Wu left with a satisfied look on his face.

　　Meng Sangyu stared at his tall back, his expression changing. She is not a fool, she can feel that the man cares about her. But this feeling was too inexplicable, which made her quite uneasy. That's all, as long as things are good for you, why do you think so much?

　　She shook her head, took out the account book she had hidden earlier, and continued to look at it.

　　In the morning of the next day, there were more than a dozen memorials impeaching Duke Meng on the imperial table. Emperor Wu of Zhou picked up the book and flipped through it, then asked quietly, "What do you think I should do to Duke Meng?"

　　"I believe that Duke Meng's disregard of human life and torture of prisoners of war has brought disgrace to the reputation of our benevolent and righteous country. Moreover, he has a cruel temperament and vicious methods. He is also in charge of an army of millions. He is suspected of shocking the emperor with his great achievements. He may soon become the emperor's confidant. Big trouble!" A censor came out, full of heart-wrenching words. The emperor had previously intended to suppress Meng Guogong. Seeing that Meng Guogong's reputation was unprecedentedly high after this battle, he acted in this way because he secretly figured out the holy will.

　　Many civil servants came out to list Meng Guogong's crimes in detail. Among the generals, Meng Yanzhou's eyes were already red with anger, and his back teeth were clenching. If Yan Junwei hadn't pulled him, he would have rushed out to defend his father.

　　"Have you finished speaking?" After everyone was quiet, Emperor Wu of Zhou slowly spoke. Although there was a smile on his face, the smile was not as funny as his cold eyes, which made several ministers standing at the front tremble with fear.

　　"When the late Emperor was here, we, the Great Zhou Dynasty, would often have conflicts with the barbarians. After the war, we would return the prisoners, sign a truce contract, and even send the princess to get married, so that there would be no more wars on the border. But is the border really peaceful? There was no time when the barbarians were not the same. They just broke the contract and burned, killed, and robbed our people at will? Over the past few decades, they killed more than millions of our people? To deal with such thugs who are cruel in nature, it is useless to convince people with virtue. The only way It's killing! What Duke Meng Guo did was actually my instruction." At this point, he paused slightly and looked at the officials below.

　　There was a dead silence in the court, and the ministers involved in the impeachment of Duke Meng all turned pale. Meng Yanzhou was stunned and looked towards the emperor in disbelief.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou knocked on the royal table, and his powerful voice echoed through the hall, "Suffering such heavy losses, it will be difficult for the barbarians to rise again within a hundred years. The price of exchanging a mere hundred thousand lives for a hundred years of peace and tranquility in the Zhou Dynasty is a very small price in my opinion! Among you, Anyone who has an opinion, please stand up. I will hand over the remaining 60,000 prisoners of war to your management. If you can guarantee that they will be tamed from wild beasts into lambs, and there will be no trouble within five years, I will issue a criminal edict. Tell the world!"

　　There was deathly silence in the hall, and no one dared to come out. The Tongcheng Rebellion is still fresh in our minds, and the ferocity of the barbarians is daunting. Who has the courage and confidence to educate them? Anyone with any brains knows that this hot potato is impossible to handle!

　　"Hmph! All day long, I have been benevolent, righteous, moral, courteous and honest, but I don't even understand the most basic righteousness of the family and the country! A bunch of short-sighted people with high ambitions and low abilities! Take the fold back! Reflect on whether you are still qualified to serve as an official in the government!"

　　The man on the throne threw a stack of memorials to the ground, and all the officials in the palace were as quiet as ice.

　　"Commander Yan, please report the recent thorough investigation of Jin Yiwei." Leaning back in his chair, the man calmed down his power a little.

　　"Reporting to your Majesty, Xiao Shouchen's crime of forming a clique has been found to be true, and he will be put in a prison to be executed. Luo Bingzhong's crime of leaving his post without permission has been found to be true, and he will be sentenced to death in a prison sentence..." Yan Junwei stepped out of the queue, raised his hand and replied. One person's words "to be investigated and executed" made all the officials in the palace feel cold.

　　Returning to the emperor, in addition to Shen Zhongliang's twenty-three charges, the ministers accused him of collaborating with the enemy and treason. This is evidence. Please see it before the emperor. "At the end, Yan Junwei made another shocking statement, which made many people involved with Grand Master Shen tremble with sweat.

　　After reading the stack of secret letters in his hand, Emperor Wu of Zhou handed the letter to Chang Xi and said in a solemn tone, "Show it to all the officials!"

　　The contents of the letters were very detailed and shocking. They were stamped with Grand Master Shen’s personal seal, and some of them were even stamped with the royal seal of King Yelu Khan. The letter contains various details about how Master Shen plotted to kill Duke Meng, how he colluded with Xie Zhenghao to pretend to be defeated, how he killed Zhongliang and ceded the city, etc. After the ministers circulated the letter, there was a layer of cold sweat on their palms. He was secretly glad that he had nothing to do with Master Shen, but he almost fainted on the spot because he was slightly involved with Master Shen! Master Shen, how can this be as simple as forming a clique for personal gain? The more I look at it, the more it looks like someone plotting to usurp the throne!

　　"Shen Zhongliang's twenty-four charges were found to be true after investigation. He was sent to the heavenly prison to be executed. All the nine Shen clans were exterminated, and their property was confiscated. This is the judgment of the ministers. Please make your decision, the emperor." Re-read the evidence that has been turned around. After being brought to the royal table, Yan Junwei spoke murderously.

　　"Punish the Nine Clan? Not enough!" The man on the throne said slowly, "I will add another clan, punish the Ten Clan, and order the Jin Yiwei to take full responsibility. The court will be here today, let's disperse!" Leaving behind the pale-faced officials, the man Just give up and leave.

　　Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, we have only heard of the execution of the nine tribes, but there has never been any precedent of the execution of the ten tribes. The ten clans would be added to the clan of disciples and disciples, which would be equivalent to exterminating the entire Shen clan!

　　All the ministers walked out of the palace in a daze, and when they encountered the cold wind, they all shivered. The emperor's methods are becoming more and more iron-blooded, but judging from the current national conditions of Zhou Dynasty, this seems to be a good thing!

　　Yan Junwei caught up with Meng Yanzhou who was unconscious and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him. After all, he is a newcomer and has not seen the court affairs yet, so he will inevitably be intimidated.

　　Meng Yanzhou woke up, and the burning light in his eyes made it difficult for Yan Junwei to look directly at him. "What is your expression?" he asked hesitantly.

　　"Killing one person is a crime, killing ten thousand people is a hero, and killing tens of thousands of people is a hero among heroes! I used to think that my father was a great hero, but I didn't expect that the emperor is the hero of the world!" Meng Yanzhou sounded very excited, and his cheeks turned red.
