Chapter 218: The World
She was stunned, looking at him blankly, Tianao, Tianao, where are you? "Wan Yao, Wan Yao?" She was woken up by the scream, and the whole person was startled, Guo Ping had already walked towards her with a worried face, "Wan Yao, what's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? I shouted at you several times just now, but I didn't listen to you. ”
Only then did she come back to her senses, knowing that it was just her hallucination, so she hurriedly lowered her head and cleaned up her confused expression, "No, it's okay, the emperor, maybe I'm a little tired, and the concubine wants to take a rest." ”
Guo Ping paused slightly, and said softly, "Then you can rest for a while, and I will come to see you later." ”
She didn't speak again, just nodded, lay down in the quilt, Guo Ping covered her with the quilt and kissed her lightly on the forehead, then got up and left. When Guo Ping walked to the door, he looked back at her, only to see her facing sideways inwards with her back to the outside.
He clearly saw the expression on her face just now, she was still pretending to be that person in her heart, and even at this time, she still hadn't forgotten him. That kind of concerned look made him feel a hatred in his heart, and an inexplicable pain.
Xiao Wanyao is still in confinement, and her body does not seem to be very good, after a long time, Guo Ping no longer goes to her, and the rash on Huo Yongdie's body has not been good, Guo Ping often goes to Han Qianqian's side.
But no matter who he goes to, what he thinks about in his heart is always Xiao Wanyao. Why, why did she always look like that in front of him? Isn't it enough to give her herself?
What the hell did she have to do to completely forget about that person?
After Mingyu knew that Xue Tianao was dead, he also felt that there was something strange about it, but Guo Ping no longer pursued the matter, so he didn't interfere anymore.
On this day, Mingyu was looking at the map of Chu in the study, and the attendants outside informed General Lei that he was coming, but before Mingyu put away the map on the table, Lei Luo had already walked in.
In order to prevent him from seeing the map, Mingyu hurriedly walked down from the table and said with a smile, "General Lei, what kind of wind has blown you here, please sit down, come and serve tea." ”
Lei Luo was still in a polite mood, and hurriedly said, "Do you know that the soldiers of the Wei State have arrived at the border of the Chu State?" ”
Mingyu nodded, and his expression became stern, "I have already received news about this matter this morning, but I haven't had time to rush into the palace to return to the emperor." ”
Lei Luo nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Wei and Chu have signed a peace treaty before, and there will be no war for at least ten years, but why did Wei take the initiative to send troops this time?" Mingyu, do you know why? ”
Mingyu frowned hesitantly, and took two steps back and forth in the main hall, Lei Luo saw that he seemed to have something to do and asked, "The Wei State will not attack the Chu State for no reason, presumably you should know the reason." ”
Mingyu took a deep breath and finally nodded, "I know, but at this time, the emperor said that he was not allowed to sue anyone, so you would not know, but now it seems that you can't hide it." ”
Lei Luo got up, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Mingyu turned around and sat down in his seat, "This matter is a long story, only a few people in the Chu State know the truth, General Lei sit down and I will tell you slowly." After Lei Luo sat down, Mingyu told Lei Luo about the plan between Guo Ping and Tang Siqi.
He couldn't help but be shocked again, but this is very similar to Guo Ping's style of doing things, as long as he can get what he wants, he will not use the means. But now that Xue Tianao died in the Chu State, the right prime minister has military power in his hands, even if Tang Siqi does not plan to attack the Chu state, presumably the right prime minister will definitely send troops.
Lei Luo frowned tightly, "It seems that this matter cannot be resolved, so I will enter the palace to face the saint, and I must quickly mobilize the troops, otherwise the Wei State will really hit the territory of the Chu State." ”
Mingyu didn't stop him, and after sending him away, he went back to his study, put away the map and hid it in the secret groove behind a painting in the study, and then went out with confidence.
Xue Qinliang's troops arrived at the border of Chu, and before they could send their troops, they received a mysterious letter, in which the conspiracy of Guo Ping and Tang Siqi was explained very clearly. This completely annoyed Xue Qinliang, he asked his subordinates to stand still, and his own squad returned to the dynasty to ask Tang Siqi what was going on.
On the other hand, after the news of Xue Tianao's death came out, it naturally gave an impact to many people, especially Gong Qing, who had just given birth to a child, and after hearing the news, the whole person fainted.
Xue Qinliang returned to the court to ask Tang Siqi, and also arrested Zhao Muqing to threaten him, and finally Zhao Muqing told all the things and the plate, and the right prime minister knew that he was in such a big conspiracy. Just as Tang Siqi was worried, he suddenly had the idea of rebellion, the military power of Wei was in his hands, and as long as he gave an order, he could take Tang Siqi's throne.
It's just that when he was about to usurp the throne, he was stopped by his daughter Xue Qinglian and summoned into the palace to discuss.
Xue Qinliang lost his beloved son and turned gray overnight, Xue Qinglian was naturally distressed when he looked at his father, but she looked more peaceful than Xue Qinliang, and she couldn't even see a trace of pain.
She separated the people around her, leaving only her father, and persuaded her, "After all, this world belongs to the Tang family, even if the military power is not in the hands of the emperor, but if you really kill him, won't you fall into the infamy of a chaotic minister and thief?" Even if you control the military power of the world, it is difficult to calm the hearts of the people in the world, if someone takes advantage of the chaos to rebel at this time, will it not be chaos and chaos. ”
Xue Qinliang was naturally unwilling, and said angrily, "Then what else do you want me to do?" He designed to kill Tianao, if he stayed, he would definitely deal with our entire Xue family, and when the time came, not to mention the infamy of the chaotic ministers and thieves, even his life would be gone. ”
Xue Qinglian's eyes were deep, and he sat on the queen's throne calmly, "I have a way." ”
Xue Qinliang was slightly stunned, and looked at her with a hint of doubt in his eyes. Listen to her continue, "I have lived in the harem for so many years, and I know a lot of secrets that others don't know, and there is one big secret that I am afraid even my father does not know. I originally wanted to keep this secret in the coffin, but I didn't expect it to be useful. ”
"What's the secret?" Xue Qinliang asked.
Xue Qinglian narrowed her eyes and looked at the front with a far-reaching gaze, in fact, when she knew this secret, she was just a small promise by Tang Siqi's side, and she only heard others say a few words by chance, and she finally climbed onto the throne of the queen in the battle of the harem, so she naturally minded the incident back then.
And the reason why she minds is because that matter is related to the person closest to her. That person was Xue Tianao.
Xue Qinglian was silent for a moment and said, "Tianao is not from our Xue family, his biological mother is the first emperor's concubine Yun, he is the son of the first emperor, when Concubine Yun was killed in the palace, the first emperor in order to protect her child, he and the real Xue Tianao were dropped. In other words, the baby who died that year was not the son of the first emperor, but my younger brother, your son. ”
Hearing these words, Xue Qinliang gasped, almost unable to believe his ears, he stood up suddenly, "How is this possible, how did the queen know about this?" ”
Xue Qinglian was expressionless and very calm, but when she knew the truth, her reaction was the same as his, especially when her own brother was dropped and killed at such a young age, she even blamed Xue Tianao, but then she thought about it, Xue Tianao was actually an innocent victim, and he had lived by her side for so long, he was her family.
That's why she didn't attack him, originally she wanted to treat him as a family member and bury this secret forever, but she didn't expect it to be useful today.
She said lightly, "This matter is indeed true, I got a lot of evidence, but in order to protect this secret from others, I destroyed those human and physical evidence, and I am the only one in this world who knows about it." ”
Xue Qinliang sat down slowly, and it took a long time to accept the fact that his most beloved son was not his own son, but the emperor's.
She was silent for a moment, wanting to give him some time to think about it, and then said slowly, "It's time to let this secret be made public, Xue Tianao is the son of the former emperor, and he was also the crown prince of the former emperor, but he was framed in the middle, and the former emperor dropped the bag with the son of the right prime minister's family in order to save Tianao." ”
Speaking of this, she paused, looked at her father, and saw that his eyes became sharper and sharper, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked a faint smile, it seemed that he knew his plan, "Tang Siqi, as the monarch, is actually treasonous, so he can naturally abdicate, but if his father wants the throne, he will definitely be said to be a rebel and a thief, and it will be unfavorable to you at that time, we can use Tianao's identity to pass the throne to Tianao." ”
Xue Qinliang narrowed his eyes slightly, this was indeed a good idea, but, "Tianao is dead, how can I give him the throne?" Moreover, if he is alive and knows his identity, even if he inherits the throne, he will not be at our disposal. ”
Xue Qinglian chuckled lightly and lowered his voice, "Has Father forgotten?" Although Tianao is dead, Tianao's son is still alive, his mother is the princess of Yan Kingdom, and he will definitely get the support of Yan Kingdom, and at that time we will let him ascend the throne as the emperor, naturally with the support of your grandfather, at that time, I don't know that my father has the final say? ”
After she finished speaking, both of them laughed at the same time, perfect idea.
The killing of Xue Tianao was concealed by Guo Ping, and Zhenling and Zhentian naturally heard the news, but they didn't believe that Xue Tianao was dead, because the Xue Tianao that Zhenling saw that day was real, and it could be seen from his expression that he couldn't die at all.
So they didn't say much about it, and they didn't reveal anything to Xiao Wanyao. Naturally, they passed on this matter to Mingyu, and Mingyu also knew that Xue Tianao might not be dead at all, so he didn't think about it anymore. It's just that he got the news that the king was in Chu State, so he always wanted to go to Chu State, because he still had a grudge that he hadn't settled with him clearly.
And whenever he thinks of going to Chu State, he always thinks about someone in his heart, he hasn't seen her for a long time, he doesn't know how she is doing now, he heard about her Guo Ping's child, he also heard that she became a queen, and even heard that Guo Ping was very good to her.
However, all the qiē is just heard, and no matter how much you hear, it is better to see it with your own eyes.
On this day, Mingyu was busy with business, and Xiao Wanrou came to him excitedly. The guards outside couldn't stop them.
"Mingyu, I'm looking for you for something!" Xiao Wanrou stood at the door with her waist crossed and shouted at him inside.
Mingyu nodded at the guard who stopped her, and the guard turned and left the room. Xiao Wanrou strode in, "What do you think of us?" I sue you that my uncle came here with soldiers, and he conspired with you instead of her to surrender, and you actually looked like prisoners, what do you want? ”R1154
