The poem reads:
Emperor Tang was enraged when he read the letter of challenge.
The emperor issued an edict to behead the emissary officer, Mao Gong came forward to persuade the dragon;
Cut son painting wings let him go back to the east, Zhenguan emperor's chariot left.
There are many demons on this expedition. If you want to know what will happen after you leave, listen to me.
The book continued to read, Cheng Yao Jin Jin Dian came to report, Wang Maocheng pulled out the camp to the east, wonderful and continuous to watch. "Report!" While the officials were discussing, the Colonel of Martial Gate shouted and ran towards the throne room. This person was called Wang Yudao. He wore a silver helmet and had a face like a peach. He wore armor and held a knife. He fought bravely to kill the enemy and made great contributions. He was granted the title of Colonel of the Martial Gate. He wore leather boots and ran to the Golden Luan. "Reporting to the emperor, the Jade Gate Pass is six hundred li in a hurry, please take a look!”Wang Yudao came to the throne room and knelt on the ground. He cupped his hands and reported. Li Shimin was shocked and said,"Love, rise!" How to report war? Hurry up and show it to me!" Wang Yudao thanked him and stood up. He handed the battle report to Chen Wang, who handed it to the emperor.
Li Shimin spread the report on the table and read it," Six hundred miles from the Yumen Pass, Wang Maocheng led the army to run to the Yumen Pass four hours ago. The commander ordered his men to attack the city and seize the pass. Commander Liu died in order to protect the pass, and the deputy commander came out to fight the enemy. As many of Wang Maocheng's soldiers were exposed to the public, Deputy Commander Wang died. Wang Maocheng rushed out of the Yumen Pass to seek refuge in the Eastern Liao Dynasty. Please make a decision. It was written by General Jiang Yu, the general of the Yumen Pass. It was reported on September 25th at the end of the fourth year of Zhenguan. "This Wang Maocheng is too outrageous. I will skin him alive if I catch him!”Li Shi Min was furious. Military Advisor Xu Maogong stepped forward and asked,""What made His Majesty so angry?”Li Shimin pointed at the battle report on the Dragon Case."Sir, take a look for yourself! This Wang Maocheng is bullying me too much!”Xu Maogong picked up the battle report. After reading it, he was furious and said,"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!" As he spoke, he passed the battle report to Qin Shubao, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Zhang Chong, Chen Lin, and the other ministers. They discussed it after reading it.
"Emperor, don't be angry. The dragon body is the most important. Let's talk about it here today and discuss it tomorrow morning.”Xu Maogong stepped forward and cupped his hands. Li Shi Min was overjoyed when he heard Xu Mao Gong's words. He said,"Mister, you are right. The court is dismissed!" The emperor's chariot returned to the palace, and I did not say anything. On the other hand, Wang Maocheng's large group charged out of Jade Gate Pass and headed straight for Dragon Head Pass. The flags were vast and clear. Three hundred minions suddenly rushed down from the mountain and stopped Wang Maocheng's team. They said in unison,"I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to pass through here, leave behind money to buy your way!”The minions all held their sabers and looked at Wang Maocheng's team angrily.
"Presumptuous! Where did this minion come from? He actually dared to block this king's path. He really did not want to live!”Wang Maocheng shouted from his horse. As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful girl flew down from the mountain. Look at how she was dressed. This woman's name is Jin Huan. She has occupied the mountain stronghold for three years and has been here to rob the corrupt official. She was wearing a purple gold crown with a lotus flower on her head. Her face was like Chang'e and the Weaver Fairy. Xi Shi was charming and drunk when she was alive. There were cards on both sides of her golden hair, gold hairpin earrings and gold necklace on her neck. She wore a blue dress with a blue belt around her waist. She wore a long robe that covered the Gold Suppressing Mountain and blue embroidered shoes. She held the Cloud Slash Sword and sat on a crane that flew in the clouds.
"What kind of people are you? How dare you behave atrociously in my territory!”Golden Hoop asked as he sat on the crane. Before Wang Maocheng could reply, Li Liangyu shouted,"Where did you pop out from, you slut! How dare you use such a tone to speak to my wangye. This general doesn't want to kill a nameless person, report your name!”The Golden Hoop was furious when he heard that." You shameless thing, listen up! This king is the Golden Hoop Princess!"”"What Golden Hoop Princess?" Li Liangyu sneered. In my opinion! You're just a wild girl that no one wants! This general sees that your appearance is not bad, so marry me and be the general's wife!”Golden Hoop was furious when she heard that. She didn't answer and somersaulted into the air. When the crane saw its master flying into the air, it knew that a great battle was about to begin. The crane cried out three times and spat out fire from its mouth. The fire seemed to come alive and fell into the ranks of the soldiers. The soldiers could not dodge in time and were all burnt to the ground, crying for their parents. At this moment, Li Liangyu and the others were scared out of their wits.
"How is it? Shameless bastards, how dare you insult this princess? I'll let you have a taste of this princess 'power! If you want to go over, leave your rations and equipment behind. Otherwise, this will be your burial ground!”Golden Hoop landed from the sky and stood on the crane's back. He sneered. Wang Mao thought that this woman was not someone to be trifled with. A wise man wouldn't take advantage of the situation. It was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge! "Do you keep your word?" Wang Maocheng asked after thinking about it.”"I've already made my promise!" Golden Hoop laughed.”Wang Maocheng said hatefully,"Good!" This King will leave the rations and equipment behind! Listen,'It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!'Let's go!" "Good!" Golden Hoop was overjoyed. Then this princess will be waiting for you. Can you leave your name? I'll let you die with an understanding!"
Wang Maocheng was furious when he heard that." My surname is Wang, and my name is Maocheng!”After saying that, he ordered the brigade to run eastward. He and the officials also urged their horses to go. "Brothers, transport the rations and equipment back to the village!”Golden Hoop stood on the crane and shouted. The lackeys cupped their hands and praised,"The princess and the king's divine skills are unparalleled!" We can't help but admire you!" With that, he transported the rations and equipment back to the village. Golden Hoop flew back to the village on top of the crane. Golden Hoop somersaulted and landed on the ground. At this moment, the 300 minions had already brought the rations and equipment they had looted. Golden Hoop had just sat down in the living room when a minion ran over and knelt down."Princess, Your Majesty, this lowly one has just captured a person from the Eastern Liao!”"Bring him here!" Golden Hoop hurriedly said.”As soon as she finished speaking, two lackeys were escorting a young man in a gray robe. His face was as pale as the bottom of a pot.
"Princess, King, it's him!" The lackey who had just reported the news came to Golden Hoop's side and pointed at Dong Liao who had been brought in. The Golden Hoop looked at the minion and said,"It's him!"”"Your Highness, Your Majesty, it's him!" the lackey said.”"Who are you?" Golden Hoop asked. What was he going to do in the Great Tang? Tell me!" The lackey from before ran to the side of the Dong Liao man and shouted,""Why doesn't the king kneel when he sees my princess!”After saying that, he knocked that person to the ground and knelt in front of Golden Hoop. He hurriedly said,"Great King, please spare my life!”"What do you do?" Golden Hoop asked.”The Eastern Liao man replied,"I was ordered by the King of Hailing to Chang 'an to issue a challenge to Tang Tong!"”"Can the Eastern Liao defeat the Tang Empire?" asked the Golden Hoop.”" I don't know either," the Donglian man hurriedly said." I heard from my king that our passes have the help of immortals. The possibility of winning this war is our priority."”
"Did you see a group of people just now?" Golden Hoop asked.”"We've met, we've met!" The DongLiao man hurriedly said. He was the Prime Minister of the Tang Empire, and he couldn't stand the actions of the Tang King, so he rebelled. He failed to attack Chang 'an, so he joined our king to attack the Tang Empire!”The Golden Hoop sneered." I see. Go to Chang 'an and help me find out if there's anyone called Zhang Chong!" Come back and report to me! Send him down the mountain!" "Thank you for sparing my life, Your Majesty. I will definitely do it!"”After the two lackeys sent the DongLiao man down the mountain, the two of them were stunned. The Golden Hoop shouted," Brothers, today we've avenged the people. Today, this princess is happy, so we'll hold a banquet to celebrate!"”The minions were overjoyed when they heard this and said in unison,"Thank you, Great King…" All the minions sat down. After a while, more than 20 minions came in from outside and sat down after setting up the dishes. Everyone was celebrating. After Wang Maocheng's team entered Dragon Head Pass, Chen Tiegun entered the marshal's residence and held a banquet to welcome Wang Maocheng and the others.
At the fifth watch of the next day, the court bell rang, and the emperor came to court. The mountain call had ended. The civil and military officials stood on both sides, and the emperor opened his mouth."Dear ministers, I couldn't sleep last night. I'm so annoyed! If Wang Maocheng defected to Donglian, a fierce battle would definitely erupt! Sir, you make the decision." Xu Maogong stepped forward and cupped his hands." Your Majesty, there is no need to panic. Last night, I observed the celestial phenomena. The stars in Donglian are crowded and chaotic. There must be demon immortals coming to help. Fortunately, my lord is blessed to have recruited an immortal Fuma. This expedition is all thanks to Fuma Zhang Chong and His Majesty! We must return to court!" "Mister is right!" Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard Xu Maogong's words. Before the officials could say anything, Colonel Wang Yudao hurriedly ran into the center of the throne room and knelt on the ground, cupping his hands and saying,"Your Majesty, an envoy from the Eastern Liao Dynasty has come to pay his respects. He is now waiting for the imperial edict outside the Martial Gate!”
"Your Majesty," Xu Maogong hurriedly said,"the jinx has arrived. Quickly summon him into the palace!"”Li Shi Min quickly said,"We'll do as you say and quickly summon him into the palace!"”Wang Yudao stood up and hurriedly replied,"Yes!"”After saying that, he ran out of the hall. After a while, he came to the Martial Gate and cupped his hands to the messenger."My king has an edict to summon you into the palace!" The messenger was overjoyed after hearing this. He hurriedly bowed to Wang Yudao, tidied up his clothes, and strode towards the Golden Hall…
"Greetings to the Holy Lord of the Southern Dynasty. Long live the Holy Lord!”The messenger came to the center of the throne room and knelt on the ground. Li Shi Min waved his hand and said,"Emissary, rise!"”"Thank you, Holy Lord!" the messenger thanked him.”He stood up. "What brings you here, messenger?" Li Shimin asked.”After the messenger heard this, he hurriedly said,"Replying to the Holy Lord's words, my king has a letter to report. Please take a look!"”Chen Wang took the letter of challenge, and Li Shimin opened it on the dragon table and read it. Tang Tong, you're so unsatisfied. You killed your brother and took the throne. Conquering the south, sweeping the north, hate to the bone, although the Central Plains is a good place; You don't have the right to call yourself master. Now my king has sent a letter of challenge to kill you within three years. I'll take over the Central Plains. When the time comes, I'll dig out your heart, grind your bones, and throw your corpse into the valley. Think carefully about whether you want to fight or make peace!
"How dare you, King Hailing! Men, push this envoy out of the Meridian Gate and hand over the imperial edict!”Li Shimin said angrily. As soon as the imperial edict was issued, two imperial guards ran in from outside the hall and were about to escort the envoy away. Xu Maogong hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands."Slow, slow, slow, what has the emperor done to make you so angry!”Li Shimin pointed at the challenge letter on the Dragon Case and said to Xu Maogong,"Sir, take a look!" Xu Maogong took the letter of challenge and read it for a while before handing it to Qin Shubao. Qin Shubao looked at it for a while and handed it to Duke Yuchi, who then handed it to Zhang Chong. It didn't take long for all the officials in the court to look through it. "Your Majesty, don't be angry. The dragon body is the most important thing. The Hailing King of the Eastern Liao was rude and handed this envoy over to his son-in-law, Zhang Chong.”Xu Maogong stepped forward and cupped his hands. When the messenger heard the name Zhang Chong, he thought," Who was this person? If he didn't die today, he would definitely meet this person to avoid losing his life at the Golden Dou Mountain! Li Shimin said,"Prince Consort, hurry up and cut off my ears and wings to dispel my anger!"”Zhang Chong stepped forward and cupped his hands.”Then, he came to the messenger and said,"Drag him out!"”The two imperial guards escorted the envoy out of the hall, and Zhang Chong followed them…
"Imperial Father, your son has come to deliver the decree to you!”Zhang Chong grabbed the messenger by the collar and came to the center of the hall. Li Shi Min laughed out loud and said,"Little Fan 'er, don't blame me for being heartless. If you want to blame someone, blame your King Hailing! Today, I spared your dog life so that you can go back and tell your king that I will send an army to conquer the east in three months. Do you understand?”The envoy had his ears cut off and his nose cut off, making him look neither human nor ghost. The minister almost laughed out loud. "Thank you Holy Master for not killing me. I will definitely pass on the message!”The messenger knelt down and thanked him. Li Shi Min was overjoyed and said,"Rise! Send him out of seclusion!" The messenger thanked Long for his kindness and sized up Zhang Chong before leaving. "Sir, what do you think we should do? Now, he has made that cheap servant look neither human nor ghost. When he returns, that cheap king will definitely use the art of war, Sir Tang…"
After the messenger left, Li Shiming told Xu Maochun. Before he could finish, Xu Maochun interrupted him,"Your Majesty, I have just said that this expedition to the East is all thanks to Your Majesty's great fortune. The Fuma's divine skills are also very powerful. There are many demon immortals in DongLiao. If you want to subdue those demon immortals, it is not enough to rely on the Fuma alone.”"Sir, you're right. Good! According to Mister's words, Brother Qin, quickly go train the troops. After you are proficient, I will personally lead the army and capture that cheap king. It will not be easy to resolve my hatred!”Li Shi Min said. Qin Shubao stepped forward and cupped his hands.”After saying that, he went down. Qin Shubao had come to the residence to make some arrangements.
"Brother Cheng, go prepare the rations and equipment!”After Qin Shubao left, Li Shimin issued another edict. Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and cupped his hands.”After saying that, he also went down. Cheng Yaojin went down to prepare food and equipment. Li Shi Min continued," Prince Consort, son, quickly return to the residence and prepare. Chen Lin, follow Brother Qin to train your troops. We'll talk about the rest later. Dismissed!"”The ministers thanked him and went their separate ways. As for the messenger, ever since he had his ears and wings cut off by the Tang King Li Shimin, he rode to the foot of Jindou Mountain and was stopped by a group of minions. When the minions saw that he was neither human nor ghost, they laughed and escorted him back to the village. Golden Hoop saw him and laughed,"What's wrong with you? Why did it become like this?" The messenger cupped his hands and said," I won't hide it from the king. My king sent me to send a letter of challenge to Tang Tong. I didn't expect that Tang Tong would be furious after reading the letter of challenge. He wanted to withdraw me from the Meridian Gate and behead me. However, he was saved by a minister. He also ordered that Zhang Chong's son-in-law to harm me to this state. Zhang Chong and I are irreconcilable!"”
"You saw Zhang Chong? Have you aged?" The Golden Hoop hurriedly asked. The emissary hurriedly said," He's quite good-looking. He's even more handsome than Liang Shanbo and more unrestrained than a gigolo. His divine arts are so high, and his words are so clear and polite. However, his heart is a little too ruthless. Have you met him before?"”"I've met him once, but he doesn't hate me!" Golden Hoop hurriedly said.”"What I said is true!" The messenger hurriedly said. I'm not lying!" Golden Hoop was overjoyed and smiled.""Alright! You did well. We might meet again. Men! Get him ten taels of silver from the accountant's office and send him down the mountain!”As soon as she finished speaking, two lackeys came in from outside and pushed the messenger out of the hall. After hearing the messenger's words, Golden Hoop stood in the middle of the living room in a daze, feeling extremely happy. It was indeed a pity for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old beautiful girl to marry a twenty-two-year-old young master, but this was arranged by heaven and earth. What could he do? From then on, the Golden Hoop had been waiting for the arrival of its beloved Langjun, Zhang Chong. After the emissary returned to Moon Tiger City in Sanjiang to meet King Hailing, King Hailing flew into a rage and ordered Wang Yichen to lead the three armies to welcome the arrival of the Tang army. In addition, he ordered the chief soldiers of each pass to guard the pass and recruit more immortals to help.
When Zhang Chong returned to the Fuma's residence, two ladies ran out of the hall and hugged Zhang Chong, asking,""Husband, why can't you be bored after court today?”Zhang Chong hugged the two ladies to the center of the hall and said,""My two wives, there's something you don't know! The vile king of the Eastern Liao Dynasty, relying on the help of some demons in the country, was arrogant and rude. Today, he sent an envoy to send a letter of challenge to his father. After reading it, his father was furious and wanted to kill the envoy. Uncle Xu pleaded for mercy and promised to let him go back to the east. After that, he got Uncle Qin to train the soldiers and horses. After he became proficient, he personally led the army. He also got Uncle Cheng to prepare grain and other military supplies…" Zhang Chong told Zhang Mingguang and the others everything that happened in the morning court.
"Then we'll go too." The two girls said in unison after hearing Zhang Chong's words. When Zhang Chong heard that, he smiled and said,""Silly girl, this expedition is not a vacation. I'll bring you there. If anything happens to you, you'll make me sad!”"That's more like it." The two women laughed.”As soon as they finished speaking, Qing 'er had a stomachache. Zhang Chong was frightened by her cry. He hurriedly hugged Qing' er and said with concern,"Wifey, what's wrong? Don't scare me!”Lianxiang hurried to Zhang Chong's side and said,""Is it time to give birth?" "Really?" Zhang Chong hurriedly said. That's great!" "Are you that happy?" Qing Er looked at him.”Before Zhang Chong could say anything, Qiuhua also called out. Lianxiang hurriedly said,"It's almost time to give birth. Men, help the two young ladies back to their rooms. Also, get someone to boil a pot of hot water. Chong-er, quickly go and get a midwife!”The two girls were screaming in pain and were helped back to the bridal chamber by the servant maids. Lianxiang followed them.
After Zhang Chong heard this, the golden light rolled up and disappeared. It didn't take long for Zhang Chong to invite the midwife. He led her into the bridal chamber and closed the door. Zhang Chong and the others stood outside the door and waited anxiously. After an unknown period of time, a baby's cry came from inside. Zhang Chong and the others shouted after hearing it,"I gave birth, I gave birth, two!" As he spoke, he barged into the room. Without asking anything, he came to the two girls 'bedside and looked at them with concern."Qing `er, Hua` er, are you alright?”"Husband, are we alright?" The two girls looked at him and smiled. Don't worry!" Zhang Chong nodded and smiled." That's good. I'll go and see our baby."”After saying that, he came to Lianxiang and Qiuhong and hugged the two children in his arms. He called out,""I'm a father! I have a son!”As she spoke, she jumped up, feeling extremely happy.
The midwife looked at him and smiled."Congratulations, Master, Madam, Young Master, and Young Mistress. The two young ladies have given birth to a young master and a young lady for you."”Zhang Chong smiled when he heard her words. Thank you. Someone, go to the accountant's room and get twenty taels of silver for this old madam. Send her home safely.”The midwife listened to his words and thanked him before walking out with a servant. Zhang Chong carried the two children to Zhang Mingguang and the others, then passed them to Qing 'er and Qiuhua. The two girls covered the two children with blankets. Zhang Chong smiled and said,""Qing 'Er, you can give birth to a son for me and call him Zhang Kun!”"Good, hubby, what a nice name!" Qing 'Er said happily.”"Hua 'er, just call the daughter you gave birth to for me Zhang Jingjuan!" They had Zhang Jingyuan before, and now Yuan 'er could run and call her father and mother! She is our eldest daughter, Zhang Kun (born of Qing Er) is our second son, and Jing Juan (born of Qiu Hua) is our third daughter.”Everyone was overjoyed. Zhang Chong came out of the hall and shouted,""Mother! Are you alright? You have a grandson and granddaughter, mother! I've let you down. I'm useless!”With that, he knelt down with tears streaming down his face.
"Chong-er! What's wrong with you?" Lianxiang was very concerned about her son and walked to Zhang Chong's side. Zhang Chong looked at Lianxiang and cried,"Mother, I'm unfilial!"”"Chong-er, don't be like this." Lianxiang cried as she looked at Zhang Chong.”Zhang Chong hugged Lianxiang and cried,"Mother, I must save my mother from the imperial prison and let our family reunite!"”Lianxiang nodded. Zhang Mingguang and the others also shed tears. Zhang Chong stood up and helped Lianxiang up. Zhang Chong came to Mingguang and said,""Father, today was supposed to be a happy day, but I thought of my mother.”Mingguang looked at his tearful son and cried,""Chong-er, don't be like this, don't be like this. Saving your mother isn't something that can be done overnight.”Zhang Chong nodded after hearing that…
Xia Yiyi's injuries were all healed, and Meng Yuxuan was very happy to see Xia Yiyi. Therefore, he went to the palace to see his sister, the West Palace Empress Meng Yufang, and begged her sister to let the Emperor issue a marriage decree. Meng Yufang was overjoyed after hearing it. That night, she went to see the Emperor and told Li Shimin about the marriage in detail. Li Shimin was overjoyed after hearing it. The next day, Chen Lin was sent to the Imperial Brother-in-law's residence to issue an imperial edict. The imperial edict wrote: In accordance with the mandate of heaven, the emperor issued an edict saying: My brother Meng Yuxuan is twenty-four years old and has not yet been married. Today, I issue an edict to give Miss Xia Yiyi to my brother as his wife. We will hold a wedding ceremony on that day. I respect this!
If you want to know what will happen next, let's talk about it in the next chapter.
