Chapter 139: For the King
So Li Ling's matter was not done by Liu Huan. As soon as this idea popped up, Li Ying was terrified.
Liu Huan seemed to see through Li Ying's thoughts, "Li Ling's matter was not done by me", but it is undeniable that he is fueling the troubles.
Li Ying smiled bitterly, whether it was Liu Huan or not, she had to compromise with him. "Can you help me save him?"
"Do you know what Li Ling did when he was besieged and ran out of ammunition and food?" asked Liu Huan rhetorically.
Li Ying pondered, Li Ling is a good general, he will not abandon the soldiers, he will only live and die with the soldiers!
"In order to save the soldiers, he surrendered to the Huns!" Liu Huan's voice came from overhead. Li Ling led a lone army of 5,000 people into the territory of the Xiongnu and met Shan Yu. 80,000 Xiongnu cavalry besieged him, and after nine days and nights of fighting, Li Ling killed more than 10,000 Xiongnu cavalry. However, he could not wait for backup, ran out of ammunition and food, and was captured. Finally, surrender!"
So what, it's better to die than to live! Surrender is at most a bad reputation, and if you can come back, you can do it. Li Ying thought like this, "He has done so much before, it's good to be alive, and surrender is a last resort." ”
Liu Huan chuckled, "If everyone thinks like you, then the world will be peaceful!" he played with Li Ying's broken hair, "Three days ago, Prime Minister Fan Qian took the lead in joining the Annan general Li Ling. Surrender without the spirit of a Han general, and lose the face of the Han. ”
Li Ying jumped up, "I'll go to his Fan Qian, if you have the ability, he will lead the troops to fight!"
Liu Huan admired Li Ying's lively jumping, and pulled her into his arms, "Ying'er, don't be angry!" patted her on the back, "Who is Fan Qian, he is the best at observing the face and slapping the emperor's fart." His approach is just to cater to the emperor!" rubbing Li Ying's ear and whispering, "The emperor hopes that Li Ling will die in battle." ”
Li Ying's eyes widened and he shook his head, "How could he! Obviously, my brother was captured without backup." Tian Dan is the commander of the three armies......"
"That's right, it's Tiandan. Li Ji is seriously ill now, and she can't listen to Tian Dan's badness!" Liu Huan covered Li Ying's eyes with his hands, it was too bright. Therefore, a few days ago, they praised Li Ling's heroic Manchu civil and military affairs, but now they echoed Fan Qian and accused Li Ling of his sins. ”
Li Ying's tears wet Liu Huan's palm.
She was scared, afraid of the departure of her loved ones.
"I can help you!" Liu Huan released "kindness", "However, I have conditions. ”
Li Ying wiped away her tears, from the moment she stepped into the gate of Changsha Palace, she had been doomed, like falling into the abyss. Liu Huan has any requirements, she will do everything she can, and she can take her life.
Liu Huan stroked Li Ying's face, and his face was full of stubbornness and fearlessness for the unknown. "Marry me!" stay with me and don't run away anywhere.
Li Ying vaguely knew what he was thinking, but when he really said it, he couldn't help but be surprised. "Why?"
"I just ask you if you want to. Liu Huan's voice was broken, if Li Ying didn't agree, he still had ten thousand ways for Li Ying to agree.
"I," can you not agree? Is there still room for maneuver? Li Ying lowered his eyes and looked at the floor under his feet, "I'm not ready yet, I need time." ”
"There's no rush, let's take our time. Liu Huan softly comforted. "It's December, and we're going to meet Chang'an. Back in Chang'an, you think slowly. ”
Li Ying turned his face away, "I don't want to go back to Chang'an." ”
"Don't be afraid, the queen will never hurt you again, I promise. Liu Huan coaxed Li Ying like a child, "Liu Ying misses you very much", I miss you too.
"But ......" Li Ying was halfway through his words, but was interrupted by Liu Huan and kissed him. Li Ying only now realized that Liu Huan really liked to kiss herself, and she was quite restrained before. Now, it's gone. After all, the Li Mansion is still there, and Li and Li Qing are all there.
After coming out of Liu Huan's study, Li Ying went back to her room to sleep well and talk to Liu Huan, which was too difficult. Now, at least she knew other news about Li Ling. However, she won't be able to hold out for long, because Li Ling won't last long. With sorrow, I fell asleep.
Liu Huan didn't close his eyes all night, but now he is in good spirits. Looking at the official document on the bookcase, he had a new plan.
In Chang'an, in the Jiaofang Palace. The queen was bathed in the early morning sun, teasing the wren. This little thing that can only speak human words was given to her by Liu Huan, saying that it was for her to relieve her boredom.
Magu saw that the queen was in a good mood, and she was also happy, "Niangniang, use some hemp balls, this is a new one made by the slave maid today." I added eyebrow peas, you can taste them!"
The queen glanced at it, suddenly thought of something, and said, "You are going to prepare these days, thank you for the delicious food." Huan'er is coming back soon, I don't know if he has lost weight, and I want to make up for him. ”
"The king of Changsha is coming back soon? Magu smiled happily.
The queen laughed too. Recently, Li Ji was seriously ill, and Emperor Xuan of Han couldn't hear the laughter, and he couldn't wait for everyone to worry about that little hoof. But it doesn't matter, the doctor said, Li Ji, it may not last long. He sent a letter, and in mid-December, he returned to Chang'an. It's almost the New Year, so I want to come back, and when he comes back, I have to train him well!"
"Don't, Niangniang! The king of Changsha has a heavy official business, and he finally came back, how can you be willing to do it!" Magu teased the queen, every time the queen talks like this, she is very happy in her heart. "The king of Changsha is worried about the queen in his heart, and often writes to you to report his safety, he is really a filial child. ”
"Filial piety? If he accepts those two female officials, he will be truly filial. As soon as the queen thought of the palace maid she gave Liu Huan a reward, Liu Huan was angry without touching it. Liu Huan is now sixteen, and he will be seventeen after the New Year, so he should know about personnel.
Magu laughed dryly, "Maybe those two female officials are not to his taste?"
The queen also knew, but where did she go to find a Li Ying for Liu Huan? In the past three years, Li Ying has not been heard from. Chu Fu only said that Li Ying was in the south, the south was so big, how could she find it!
"Queen Mother, don't think about it, wait a while, the crown princess Wang is coming to see you. Magu reminded.
"She had a miscarriage for less than a month, I didn't let her cultivate well, why is she running around again now?" The one who was the longest pregnant was only five months, and it was still with the help of Li Yingxue.
"The crown princess is very filial and always thinks about the queen. "Magu spoke for the crown princess, and she has been very bitter over the years.
It's just that I'm afraid that I will be dissatisfied and stuff people for the prince. For the sake of the Queen Mother's face, the Queen Mother temporarily patiented her thoughts.
