Chapter 197: Shocking Drum
"Qiyun ......" Tuoba Tao shouted, he woke up from his dream, looked around, and saw that he was in front of the stone table of Ming Yuexuan, with an unfinished glass of wine in front of him.
"The emperor is awake?" With a gentle call, Liu Yizhen pushed the wheelchair and sat opposite Tuoba Tao. Looking through the light, Yoshizhen was surprised to find that there were traces of white hair mixed between Tuoba Tao's black hair. Yizhen sighed to himself, it has only been two years since Tuoba Tao's crown ceremony, and he has thought and carried too much day and night.
Tuoba Tao stroked his forehead, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and apologized: "I just had a dream, and I woke up, disturbing Lord Xuan, sin." ”
"The owner of Ming Yuexuan is Qiyun, I just take care of it for her, she will come back!" Liu Yizhen said slowly but firmly, and in the dark, there was no trace of hesitation in his gentle eyes.
Tuoba Tao grabbed his hand and asked incredulously, "Young Master Lu Yin, why are you so sure that Qiyun will come back alive?" I watched her fall into my arms and take her last breath. At that time, you asked someone to come and tell me that there were many doubts about this matter, and asked me to check Yun'er's body to check the authenticity. I personally examined it, and her right arm was inlaid with white jade, and on her chest hung the Linghu jade pendant I gave her. ”
At that time, Tuoba Tao held the body of Lan Yuehua, who was pretending to be Qiyun, closed the door of the palace for three days and three nights, and no one paid attention to it.
Three days later, Tuoba Tao walked out of the temple gate. Cui Hao and the others were terrified thinking that Tuoba Tao was going to be angry and conquer the Song Kingdom, and they were about to try their best to persuade him, but Tuoba Tao just calmly ordered the burial of the princess and his own princess, and turned around and left tiredly. The people were amazed to find that their emperor had a vicissitudes of life, gray temples, and red silk under his eyes.
"By the way," Tuoba Tao asked Yizhen seriously, "Master Lu Yin, what is the picture scroll that your daycare person sent to me?" ”
Liu Yizhen replied calmly: "This is what Qiyun kept under him when he left Pingcheng for the last time, and what is hidden in the picture is the heirloom jade seal. It is said that Qiyun's mother bought it with her own life. Qiyun told Zai a thousand times that if His Majesty could stabilize the Central Plains and give him benevolent government, he would send this thing to His Majesty. ”
"That was left to me by Qiyun, and I know Qiyun's intentions." Tuoba Tao lowered his head and sighed, his heart sad, "It's a pity that she can no longer stand side by side with me......"
"Your Majesty, Lu Yin believes that Yun'er will not die!" Yoshishin interrupted Tuobatao's words.
"Childe, please tell me the reason, I will listen to you." Tuoba Tao once again listened to Yizhen so firmly that Qiyun was not dead, and listened with a spirit of twelve points.
Yizhen nodded, "Back then, in order to avoid trouble, I used to steal beams and change pillars and do similar things. At that time, everyone was also blinded. ”
"You mean that the person who died in my arms was someone who looked the same as Qiyun, and really Qiyun was hidden?" Tuoba Tao pondered for a while, and slightly lowered his chin, "Yes, she and Qiyun are almost identical, only the look in her eyes is different. Qiyun's eyes were as bright as glass, and the person's eyes were chaotic, and I thought she was on her deathbed, and my eyes were scattered, so I didn't think much about it. If so, then where will the real Qiyun be? ”
Yizhen reminded: "Your Majesty only needs to think, both the Song State and the Wei State have proposed to the Huanglong Kingdom, and in the battle of the Canyon, Your Majesty saw that the Emperor of the Song State killed Qiyun. If His Majesty gets angry, start a great war against the Song Kingdom. When the war between the south and the north starts, which one is the most beneficial? ”
Tuoba Tao thought for a while and replied, "The one who benefited the most was naturally the remnants of Xia Guo Helianding in the west. Childe, what do you mean ......?"
Yizhen picked up the teacup on the stone case, took a sip, and nodded: "Yes, I have asked Yin Xue to hold the token of the Chaoying Palace, and ordered his palace people to sneak into Pingliang, the capital of the Xia Kingdom, and go around to inquire about suspicious characters and incidents." Lu Yin did this, the emperor won't blame me, right?"
Tuoba Tao suddenly brightened up, and said happily: "Childe's analysis is reasonable. I was confused for a while, and I almost fell into someone else's trap. ”
Yizhen laughed and said: "That's because Zai Xia and Yun'er are brothers and sisters, and they don't have deep affection." Your Majesty, you must know the depths, and you must be confused, even if you are a saint, there are times when you are confused. ”
The two were talking, and at this time, Dou Daitian, who was guarding outside the Xuan Gate, came forward, saw Tuoba Tao, bowed down, and reported urgently: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Song State sent the envoy Tian Qi to Pingcheng and brought their emperor's letter of state, please take a look at the emperor." ”
"Dou Daida, you can send it." Tuoba Tao said to him in a harmonious voice.
Dou Daida respectfully presented the letter to Tuoba Tao with both hands, he opened the letter, put it on the light, and was furious after reading it: "The bloody case in the canyon, I don't want to investigate deeply, just to save the north and the south from war. I never thought that Liu Yilong actually wanted to challenge my Wei State first. ”
Tuoba Tao and Yizhen are open-minded, open and honest, and both of them have people who share common concerns. Tuoba Tao did not shy away from Yizhen's identity, and handed the letter in his hand to Yizhen. Yizhen took it, and after a closer look, he saw that on the national certificate, Liu Yilong declared to Tuoba Tao: Henan used to be the land of our Song Kingdom, and it was invaded by you in the middle, and our army will recover the old land, but it will not enter Hebei.
Yixin's heart tightened, and he raised his eyes to look at Tuoba Tao.
Tuoba Tao slapped the table and said to Dou Daitian: "You go and send a message to the envoy of the Song Kingdom, let him come to the Taiji Hall tomorrow, and I have a few words for him to bring back to Liu Yilong." When my hair was not dry, I knew that Henan was the place of my Wei Kingdom. How can they take it? If they attack, we can withdraw our troops to avoid the front, and when the winter cold land is clear and the rivers are frozen, our army will naturally reoccupy these places. ”
Dou Daitian was shocked when he heard this, and even Yizhen was secretly surprised, Tuoba Tao put on such a calm and calm attitude, and he did not take Song Jun in his eyes. If you want to fight, you will fight, and the time and place of the strategy will be explained first. Only those who have been on the battlefield for a long time and are confident can be so calm and calm when the war is approaching.
Yizhen looked at Tuoba Tao's young and calm face, and said earnestly: "As soon as the war started, Lu Yin had a reluctant request, can you ask Your Majesty to love the people and reduce the killings?" As long as you repel the attack of the Song State, don't destroy it...... Song. ”
Tuoba Tao's face was silent, but there was a chill in his eyes, "This is Liu Yilong's first provocation, betraying the former alliance, and the letter of declaration of war has been handed over to me." Although the confidence is insufficient, but the war has begun, how can I promise you? ”
Yizhen's mind turned around and persuaded: "When Qiyun handed over the national seal scroll to Zaixia, he once said that a folk song that has been circulated in the world is called "Isolation Valley", which says that brothers are forced to belong to different camps, kill each other, and run out of food and grass, and their lives are dying. Such a tragic situation has lasted for a hundred years in the Central Plains. Qiyun does not want the world to become a hell on earth again, and hopes that Mingjun will be born out of thin air, clarify the universe, and let the people be educated and supported by the old, and live and work in peace and contentment. ”
Tuoba Tao pondered for a moment, and said kindly: "I promised my son." The top priority is to find out the whereabouts of Qiyun, if Qiyun is still alive, and ask Gongzi to send a letter to the Emperor of the Song State to explain the reason, so as to stop the war and stop the army as soon as possible. For the Song army to attack, I will repel its attack and will not take the opportunity to attack. I also hope that the two countries will be reconciled, and I can even send noble daughters to marry each other. ”
Yizhen propped himself up from the wheelchair, pulled away his clothes, and respectfully made a big salute to Tuobatao: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he will be benevolent and benevolent in the way of heaven. In this way, Lu Yindai, on behalf of the people of the Southern Dynasty, thanked His Majesty first. ”
Tuoba Tao smiled appreciatively at him: "Although the prince doesn't care about the world, in fact, he always thinks about the people in his heart. Qiyun's whereabouts are still bothered by Gongzi. ”
Yizhen smiled back, the two of them are not different from their family and country identities for the same person, and they have the meaning of confidants who hate each other. Yizhen sighed secretly: "Qiyun, no matter where you are, you are happy to see such a situation. You must be good and live to see all this......"
