Chapter 1078 Young Crown Prince
When Crown Prince Cen Ce was seventeen years old, he had been regent on behalf of his father for five years.
During these five years, the situation of nations has changed dramatically.
After the death of the old emperor of Wusong, the new emperor came to power and was tyrannical and cruel. At first, he just killed the ministers who gave advice, made them into "human candles" and stood them in the palace road, and even demolished the ancestral temple of the neighboring country to build a hawk-training platform.
After three or five small border states surrendered, his ambition swelled and he even had the ambition to annex the world. In just a few years, he destroyed seven small states and crushed half of the Jinhe Plain with his iron hoofs.
A prince of the Red Smoke Kingdom, who was known for his cowardice, suddenly poisoned his uncle who was the regent and proclaimed himself emperor.
The rise of this emperor was inseparable from the handiwork of the new ruler of Wusong. From then on, Chiyan followed Wusong's lead.
In order to protect themselves, half of the twelve tribes in Western Xinjiang have surrendered to Chiyan and Wusong.
The northern wing of Western Liang was provoked several times by the two countries, and the people living on the border suffered terribly.
The young crown prince Cen Ce went into battle three times.
The first time, he led light cavalry on a thousand-mile raid and drove the invading Wusong Wolf Division out of the Longxi Mountains.
In that battle, Cen Ce's silver spear knocked off the enemy general's golden crown, and the tip of the spear held the bloody corpse high above the Broken Blade Pass. For many years afterwards, the people of Wusong would be afraid of this crown prince of Liang before they even fought.
At the same time, Tang Xinghe and Ma Chuyang were also ordered to go out to defend the border and drive the Chiyan invading army out of Longshan.
The most exciting battle took place in the Ash River Valley. The Tang army used fire to force the enemy into the valley, and Ma Chuyang had already ambushed his troops at the Dragon Bone Pass.
After the joint attack of the two armies, General Chiyan's head was finally nailed to the northern wing boundary marker.
It was in this battle that the Northern Wing Red Feather Army and the Western Liang Black Armor Cavalry met for the first time at Lingyunding, the highest peak in the Longxi Mountains.
When the battle flags of the two armies overlapped, the snow on the mountain top that had not melted for a thousand years was melted by the soldiers' blood to form the first spring stream.
The young crown prince smiled as he looked at the mountains. "My two cousins, when you have time, please go to Liang State to help me train the troops. Uncle Xinghe can also visit my Aunt Hongque. She is becoming more and more beautiful now, and the young men in Liang State have already..."
He counted on his fingers, "One, two, three, four, five, six... Wow, eight people swore to marry her."
Tang Xinghe's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, "You bastard, you are bringing up all sorts of issues!"
More and more annoying!
He saw his own childhood self in Cen Ce.
Cen Ce loved to annoy this cousin uncle, and he would whisper to him, "Let me tell you, Aunt Hong Que and the brother-in-law of the Minister of War go out together quite often. If it weren't for the fact that you are my relative, I would have wanted them to get married right here... Tsk, they are a perfect match."
Ma Chuyang was not very smart about his own affairs, but he was very careful about Tang Xinghe's affairs. "Yi Yi, how about this? You go back and tell them that my brother is seriously injured and dying..."
"Shut up!" Tang Xinghe said coldly, "I, Tang Xinghe, am upright and honest. I don't want to use those petty tricks to deceive girls."
"Tsk tsk tsk!" Ma Chuyang's mouth twitched. "I say, could you have imagined ten years ago that you would be able to say such disgusting words today? 'I, Tang Xinghe, am upright'! Shouldn't it be 'I, Tang Xinghe, have no shame'?"
“Hahahahahahahahaha…” Cen Ce laughed and hooked his hand around Ma Chuyang, “Uncle Ma, you’re more to my taste.”
Ma Chuyang hooked Cen Ce with his backhand, "If you weren't so much younger than me, I would have called you brother!"
Tang Xinghe couldn't listen any longer, "How shameless!"
Ma Chuyang patted his face and said, "I didn't say I had a face, hahaha!"
Tang Xinghe felt that these words sounded familiar.
Over the years, he has really changed. He has become silent, focused, and obsessed.
He was determined to use his whole life to prove to Hong Que how cautious he was about marriage.
Without her, he would not get married.
The young crown prince's second expedition was to personally lead the navy to wipe out the pirates in the East China Sea.
On the night when the linked boats were burned, the scene of him standing on the mast, drawing his bow and shooting down the pirates was made into a folk song called "The Prince Shooting the Dragon" by the fishermen.
The song is being sung all over the streets: The young man in black armor draws a carved bow, and a black dragon jumps out of the waves. One arrow pierces three layers of waves, and the Dragon Palace burns for half the sky with fire. The moon that cannot be caught shines east and west. The young man's armor is covered with frost, and the sister's shuttle is threaded with red thread. Next year, she will embroider a red crabapple on the flagpole.
This year, the young crown prince Cen Ce became the glory of Liang State.
All officials respect him and the people love him.
He is a role model in the hearts of boys and a star in the eyes of girls.
Wherever he went, there were roars of thunder and seas.
Emperor Yu asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, "Is the Purple Star dark?"
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory replied, "Your Majesty, the Purple Star is dazzling and brilliant, and the auxiliary stars beside it are also dazzling and brilliant."
"So..." Cen Yuan's eyes lit up.
"So it's not advisable to make any big moves." The Imperial Observatory didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of the Feather Emperor.
Anyone who was asked this question by the emperor every half a month would be terrified.
Emperor Yu sighed and left with his hands behind his back.
Qin Tianjian wanted to go home and farm. Who could understand him? He was young, but his hair was falling out in clumps, and his head was bald.
Cen Ce's third expedition was the most dangerous. He went deep into Wusong under the pretext of patrolling the border, intending to take the emperor's head.
The cause was that one of his generals was kidnapped and taken to the capital by Emperor Wusong using despicable means.
Since the people of Wusong could not defeat the prince of Liang, they decided to massacre the generals of Liang.
They were going to skin the Liang generals alive in public at the most prosperous and bustling East Market of the capital.
Emperor Wusong was also present that day.
Unexpectedly, on the day of execution, six men launched a surprise attack on the Big Dipper Formation which was missing a corner.
The captured Liang general changed his cowardly look when he was captured, and miraculously escaped from the ropes by shrinking his bones, and then disappeared into the formation.
The Big Dipper formation is completed, killing people in all directions.
It turned out that this general was Cen Ce's study and practice partner, and also the eldest grandson of the Minister of War.
This was just a trick to lure the snake out of its hole.
The young crown prince Cen Ce was not in the battle formation, but killed Emperor Wusong with a single sword.
Cen Ce mentioned this many years later, and he still felt a little regretful, "If I hadn't wanted to fight quickly, I wouldn't have let him die so easily."
The six people in the Big Dipper formation were none other than the Six Generals of Yunqi who were seconded from the Northern Wing.
Ma Chuyang whispered to Tang Xinghe, "Compared to the extent of the troubles Yi Yi has caused, we are nothing compared to him."
Tang Xinghe said, "Do you know the difference between us and Yi Yi? Why do we repeatedly get into trouble and feel endless regret, while Yi Yi always succeeds immediately?"
Ma Chuyang said, "He is a man with the luck of an emperor. We can't compare with him."
Tang Xinghe shook his head, "No, we are short of a second."
That’s right, where there is one, there must be two.
Yi Yi got crazy and shouted that he wanted to shoot the sun, but as long as Er Er said "You can't shoot", Yi Yi would pack up his bow and arrow and obey him.
The careful planning of this plan to lure the snake out of its hole took two and a half years, which was simply amazing to Cen Yuan.
Every detail was perfect, including how to keep the captives alive. All the arrangements were made by Er Er.
The crown prince of Liang ended the four-year tyranny for the people of Wusong. In memory of his kindness, the people of Wusong built a statue of him at the East Market using the melted golden crown of King Wusong.
On the winter solstice of the same year, Emperor Yu performed abdication ceremony at the Observatory and became the Holy Yu Emperor.
