Jin'an Emperor

Chapter 290 New Year's Eve

People often say that anger is a beauty. Although Lu Qiang's anger does not rule out the factors of women, he obviously did not expect that the consequences of this anger would be so serious.

This winter is not as cold as in previous years, but the two countries of Wei and Qin, which were blocked by the Jin Dynasty, were not so good. Just when Tuoba, who had slightly improved, was at a loss, a secret letter from the State of Qin was sent to him.

After reading this letter, Tuoba Kui's eyes suddenly lit up, and a heartfelt smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, muttering, "Qin Guo is indeed a capable person"

As the New Year was approaching, Gao Tan also received a letter from Chang'an. After reading it, Gao Tande also smiled.

Only Li Wei hesitated after reading the letter from Chang'an. As early as after the Jin army defeated the Wei army's iron horse, he sent the 4,000 war horses he owed last time to Hanzhong. It can be said that he took nine oxen and two tigers to get the effort in exchange for the Jin army not to attack, but now the State of Qin wants to unite with him to fight against the State of Jin. Can he not hesitate? Besides, my son is still detained in Luoyang!

However, Li Wei also agrees with the threat theory of the State of Jin mentioned in the letter. Looking at Lu Qiang's series of behaviors, once the State of Qin is destroyed by him, the next one must be Xiliang.

Li Wei and Yao Xing don't have a friendship at all, but can he not understand the reason why his lips are dead and his teeth are cold?

Invited the confidants Zhang Mio, Tang Yao and others to discuss, and almost no one objected. The ministers agreed that the Qin people's method was feasible, and the next step was how to save Luoyang's proton Zhang Xin.

As the Spring Festival approaches, Lu Qiang is also particularly busy. The matter of Tuoba Mingzhu has come to an end. Although he likes that girl very much, he is not so busy for her.

According to his will, Yao Xing has gone to the emperor, called himself the king of Qin, and sent a large number of tributes, which is a temporary repressing Lu Qiang's thunderous anger.

And Sheng Le finally sent the news that Tuoba Mingzhu would rather die for Tuoba's arrangement, and Tuoba Kui could not bear to force this goddaughter too much, so this matter was temporarily put aside.

However, due to the blockade of the Jin Dynasty, the State of Wei began to use troops on the border of Qin on a large scale, plunder villages and towns, and attack cities and land, which was very lively.

This result is exactly what Lu Qiang wanted. It was decreed that Tan Daoji, Wen Chumao, Shi Yanzu and others should strengthen their vigilance, closely monitor the movement of the Wei army, and never let them come to the Jin territory to plunder.

I don't know if it was afraid of being beaten by the Jin army, but the Wei army has never used troops against the State of Jin.

Tomorrow is the annual Spring Festival. Although other countries are lively, the Jin Dynasty is surprisingly calm. It turns out that the three-way army that besieged Qin has also returned to the station.

According to the usual practice in previous years, these generals stationed on one side will take the opportunity of the New Year to return to Beijing to report on their duties, but because of the frequent mobilization of troops before, they will not be able to come back this year anyway.

Looking at the petition of a general from all over the world because he could not enter Beijing, Lu Qiang's heart was empty. No matter which general guarded, he was his most direct subordinate and confidant. Compared with these officials in Luoyang, he was obviously more willing to celebrate the Spring Festival with those generals.

"Your Majesty, Tao Taifu is coming"

Zhao Yong's voice interrupted Lu Qiang's meditation and said without raising his head: "Fly!"

Tao Yuanming was recruited by Lu Qiang, because Lu Qiang recently found that his four-year-old son was a little old, which made him feel that Mr. Tao's education method was too rigid?

For a crown prince, some education is necessary, but if it is too rigid, it will make children lose their spirituality. A crown prince who can only follow the rules will lack the spirit of pioneering and enterprising. This is not what Lu Qiang wants, so he intends to have a good talk with Tao Yuanming.

Soon, Tao Yuanming, with a red face, quickly walked in.

"See Your Majesty"

Lu Qiang put down the memorial in his hand, raised his head and smiled and ordered Zhao Yong to move the pier for Tao Yuanming and asked him to sit down.

"Thank you for your hard work, I thank you on behalf of the Queen"

"I am afraid. It is my duty to teach the prince. Why is it hard to say? Moreover, the prince is smart and often draw inferences from others, which makes the old minister admire him and saves a lot of energy for the old minister. The old minister should congratulate your majesty. I have talented people in the Jin Dynasty!"

Lu Qiang couldn't help laughing. A four-year-old child, no matter how much he can go there? But as a father, who doesn't want to hear others praise his son?

"Taifu is flattered. The child is still young, and he has to bother Taifu. Today, I found Taifu. In fact, I want to ask Taifu if he can add some subjects to the prince?"

Tao Yuanming was slightly stunned. He was proud of his knowledge, but he also knew that in a gentleman's six arts, not only simple literature, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as riding and shooting were included.

Tao Yuanming is dedicated to cultivating the prince into a benevolent king. Don't be so easy to kill Lu Qiang, and his scheming can't be too heavy, so he ignores other disciplines. Now when he hears Lu Qiang's question, his forehead suddenly sweats.

Hasty stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I think the prince is still young, and there are some things that can be touched slowly. When the prince is eight years old, please ask your majesty to find more Taifu for the prince."

Lu Qiang knew that Tao Yuanming was an honest man, and it was not difficult for him. He smiled and said, "Taifu, don't be nervous. Sit down and talk. I think so. I sent people to understand that the youngest son of General Zhao and the youngest son of General Tan are all the same age as the prince. Can they be recruited into the palace and taught by Taifu? While teaching them their studies, it can also let them build feelings. In addition, I also suggest that Taifu can give children more time to play. After all, they are still young."

Hearing this, Tao Yuanming finally understood that the emperor had objection to his education method, and letting Zhao Lunwen and Tan Daoji's son receive education together was just to cultivate the prince's team.

Sweat oozed from Tao Yuanming's forehead again and nodded, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will live up to your expectations and teach the prince to become a material."

Lu Qiang saw that Tao Yuanming understood what he meant, so he nodded and was about to ask him to go back, but after seeing someone whispering something to Zhao Yong outside the hall, Zhao Yong walked in with a solemn expression.

"The New Year is approaching, and there must be a lot of things in Taifu's family. Go back first. I will call you if there is anything."

Following Lu Qiang's order, Tao Yuanming got up and left.

Facing Lu Qiang's questioning eyes, Zhao Yong quickly came to the side of the Longshu case and said, "Your Majesty, the people from the military government just came to report that Li Xin is missing."

"Li Xin?"

The name circled in Lu Qiang's mind, and then he remembered that Li Xin was Li Wei's son, didn't he? How did he disappear?

People like Li Xin who are hostage in Luoyang are generally closely monitored by Black Panther's own military government. Although their movements are not restricted, it is definitely impossible to come out of the city.

As the capital of a country, Luoyang is the most rigorous, and the center of the Black Panther's army is also here, so it is almost impossible for Li Xin to escape under such circumstances. But there seems to be an exception to everything. Under such strict defense, people are still missing.

Lu Qiang knows that if a person is only temporarily lost, it is impossible for Feng Ping to report to himself. Tomorrow is the New Year. Li Xin disappeared at this time. Where will he go?

My intuition tells Lu Qiang that this matter is not that simple. Another possibility of Li Xin's disappearance is that Li Wei has decided to be independent and completely get rid of his control of him, so he let Li Xin run for his life quickly.

Whether it is Zhifengtang or Black Panther's military government, there are secret branches in Xiliang, Shengle, Chang'an and other places, but they have not received any information.

That is to say, these neighboring countries did not do anything unusual, and for a while, Lu Qiang was also a little confused.

There are too many things to deal with at this time of the New Year. Lu Qiang obviously did not have much energy to pay attention to Li Xin's disappearance. Feng Ping was rumored to try his best to find people, to see people and corpses to die. At the same time, he had to fully cooperate with the search on behalf of Qianqiu.

One day passed quickly, and the next day was the traditional Spring Festival of the Han people.

It's not just Luoyang, but all the towns across the country are decorated with lanterns to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. People change into new clothes and children in bright clothes are running wildly all over the streets, a scene of prosperity.

On such a day, Lu Qiang still dealt with the memorial all morning and changed into new clothes in the afternoon. After dinner with his family, he waited for the night to come. The people were waiting for the New Year's bell of Luoyang Palace!

Lu Qiang didn't know that there were several war horses galloping towards Luoyang from several directions.

I didn't know what news they were going to report, so that they rushed all night, and even the carrier pigeons didn't have time to release them.

Hexi County, located on the east bank of the Yellow River, is also full of festive festivals. In addition to the necessary police posts at the head of the city, most of the soldiers and officers have returned to the barracks for New Year's Eve dinner.

The Jin army is strict. On New Year's Eve, the soldiers in charge of patrolling the city are still meticulously patrolling the city, but the number is still much less than usual.

A few days ago, there was a heavy snow, and the Yellow River and farmland in the distance were covered with a thick layer of snow. Although the sky was completely dark, the sky and the earth were still silvery against the moonlight.

The person responsible for guarding the West City was a newly promoted captain. After patrolling the city for a while, he saw that there was nothing wrong, so he hid in the backwind with several brothers and chatted.

"Captain Yang, I heard that at the beginning of the spring of next year, your majesty will rise to pacify the State of Qin. At that time, the world will be unified, and your majesty can be called an emperor for thousands of years."

"Hehe! Your Majesty can't hear you say good things here. You have been reading for several years, and it is clear when your majesty has visited here. You write a letter to your majesty and beg your majesty to reward you as a Japanese woman. I heard that the woman is obedient, and you can do whatever you want."

"Do whatever you really want?"

"Of course, a businessman came from the seaside the other day and said..."

Women are an eternal topic among men, especially when it comes to foreign women, more than a dozen soldiers suddenly came to the spirit and chatted.

"Captain Yang, come and have a look. Is it my eyes dazzled? The snow on the Yellow River seems to be moving"

A soldier who ran to the wall to pee suddenly pointed to the Yellow River in the distance and shouted.

After crossing the Yellow River is the State of Qin, so Hexi County is stationed with experienced veterans.

Captain Yang listened to the soldiers' words, quickly pushed away the other soldiers and quickly walked to the wall. As soon as he took a few steps, his eyes suddenly widened.

The soldier who had just shouted at him suddenly had a long arrow on his chest. The soldier's hand was still pointing to the Yellow River in the distance, with an unbelievable look. After a moment, he said, "Enemy, enemy attack..." After saying that, he fell down to the city.

Before Lieutenant Yang could see the situation, another rain of arrows were shot in the city. Captain Yang and a dozen brothers were immediately shot down by arrows, and then they heard a crisp sound, and the flying tiger claws hit the city.

Soon, dozens of shadows quickly climbed up...
