Chapter 838 Counterattack
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard behind him, and the personal eunuch panicked: "Your Highness, Concubine Shu...she died of dystocia!" Xiao Jingyan took the opportunity to launch a general attack, and the city gate collapsed under the impact of battering rams. When Xiao Jingheng was surrounded by the chaotic army, he finally saw the jade pendant on Xiao Jingyan's waist - it was left at the scene when he sent people to assassinate the Prince's tutor! It turned out that from the beginning, Xiao Jingyan had set a trap and waited for him to get in. Chapter 7 Bloody Ascension to the Throne In the Qianqing Palace, Xiao Jingyan sat on the dragon chair, looking at Xiao Jingheng kneeling on the steps. The brother who was once high-spirited and high-spirited is now in a miserable state. "Why?" Xiao Jingheng raised his head, his eyes full of unwillingness. "Because you moved something you shouldn't have moved." Xiao Jingyan played with the tiger talisman, "The position of the crown prince, the country, and..." He paused, "The life of my mother." It turned out that when his mother died of dystocia, it was the Shufei who secretly bribed the midwife. Xiao Jingheng was struck by lightning: "Impossible... Impossible..." "Do you think those charges are fabricated out of thin air?" Xiao Jingyan sneered and ordered people to present a pile of account books, "I have already collected all the evidence of your embezzlement of military pay and collusion with foreign enemies over the years." Three days later, Xiao Jingyan's coronation ceremony. When the bright yellow dragon robe was draped over his body, he looked at the officials who bowed to his highness, and suddenly thought of the dilapidated courtyard in Qianzhou. There are not only his dormant years hidden there, but also the hard work and sacrifice of countless people. The edict of amnesty spread all over the world. Xiao Jingyan stood on the city wall and watched the people cheering. He knew that although he won this chess game of revenge, the price was too heavy. In the distance, the sound of Qingluan's pipa could be heard faintly, and the tune was "Ambush from All Sides". Xiao Jingyan closed his eyes, and all his grievances and hatreds turned into a sigh.
But the enemy had a large number of troops, and our army suffered heavy casualties. At this time, Chen Yan received a message: Zhao Chong secretly sent people to cut off the food supply of our army, hoping to frame him and make him fail at the border. Chen Yan was furious, but he quickly calmed down. He knew that now was not the time to be angry. The top priority was to solve the food problem and defend the border. Chapter 8 Jedi Counterattack Faced with the dilemma of food and grass being cut off, Chen Yan did not sit still and wait for death. He sent people deep behind the enemy, sneaked into the enemy's food and grass camp, and successfully seized a large amount of food and grass; at the same time, he also mobilized local people to participate in the battle to defend the border. Under the leadership of Chen Yan, the morale of our army was greatly boosted, and a Jedi counterattack was launched. After a hard battle, the enemy was finally repelled and the border defense battle was won. The victory report reached the capital, and the emperor was overjoyed. He praised Chen Yan and promoted him to the Minister of War. However, Chen Yan's victory made Zhao Chong and others more fearful. Unwilling to accept defeat, they began to plot a bigger conspiracy to overthrow Chen Yan completely. Chapter 9: Showdown in the Court After Chen Yan returned to the capital, he immediately became a thorn in the eyes of Zhao Chong and others. They impeached Chen Yan in the court, accusing him of falsely reporting military exploits at the border and embezzling military pay. Facing the accusations of Zhao Chong and others, Chen Yan was well prepared. He took out the battle report at the border, the list of seized enemy supplies, and the testimonies of soldiers and civilians, and refuted the lies of Zhao Chong and others one by one. In the court, the two factions engaged in a fierce debate. Chen Yan silenced Zhao Chong and others with his clear logic and solid evidence. The emperor finally found out the truth and severely punished Zhao Chong and others. Chen Yan, on the other hand, was highly valued by the emperor because of his outstanding performance at the border and his bravery in the court, and became an important figure in the court. Chapter 10: Changing Fate Against Heaven As Chen Yan's position in the court became higher and higher, he began to implement a series of reform measures aimed at breaking the monopoly of the aristocratic families on the government and providing more opportunities for the children of poor families. He reformed the imperial examination system and increased the number of places for selecting children of poor families; he rectified the administration of officials, severely punished corrupt officials, and promoted talented officials; he also implemented new policies to reduce taxes on the people and encourage agriculture and sericulture. Chen Yan's reform measures were strongly opposed by the aristocratic families, but he did not back down. With his wisdom and strategy, he united with the Qingliu faction and launched a thrilling power game with the aristocratic families. After years of hard work, Chen Yan finally succeeded in breaking the monopoly of the aristocratic families and opened a path to the court for the children of poor families. He also became a famous official and realized his dream of changing his fate against heaven. However, Chen Yan knew that his mission was not over yet. He will continue to fight in the court for the people of the world and for the children of poor families, and write his own legend.
, the emperor was also undecided. At this time, Chen Yan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think that peace talks can only solve the problem temporarily, but will put our dynasty in a more passive situation in the future. The current plan is to quickly dispatch troops and strengthen border defenses, and at the same time send envoys to the surrounding small countries to unite with them to fight the enemy together." Chen Yan's words were recognized by the emperor. The emperor immediately decided to appoint Chen Yan as the military supervisor and go to the border with the army. Chen Yan knew that this was both an opportunity and a huge challenge. But he did not back down and resolutely embarked on the journey to the border. Chapter 7 Border Fire After arriving at the border, Chen Yan found that the situation was worse than he had imagined. The morale of the border defenders was low, food and grass were short of supplies, and weapons were outdated. The enemy's morale was high and they could launch an attack at any time. Chen Yan did not panic. He first calmed the troops and personally went to the barracks to comfort the soldiers and understand their needs. Then he set about solving the problem of food and weapons. He sent people to nearby prefectures and counties to raise food and at the same time contacted the capital to request the allocation of weapons. With Chen Yan's efforts, the situation at the border gradually stabilized. But the enemy soon launched an attack. The battle was extremely fierce, and Chen Yan went to the front line in person and fought side by side with the soldiers. With his outstanding command ability, he repelled the enemy's attacks many times.
Chen Yan, you are so bold!" The village head widened his eyes, "You have been in arrears of taxes for three years, and now the court is pressing for you to pay it back. What can you use to pay it back?" Chen Yan put down his pen, stood up, and said firmly: "Mr. Village Head, it's not that I don't want to pay it back, but my family is poor and I really can't afford the money." Liu San sneered, "Why are you pretending to be so noble! I heard that you read books every day. Can you make a living by reading those broken books? Why don't you go to the city with me? With your appearance, you may be able to find a rich family as a servant, and the money you earn will be enough to pay the taxes." Chen Yan looked up and saw the village head leading several yamen runners in, followed by Liu San, a famous ruffian in the village. "
