At the end of the month, it is the Chinese New Year's Eve of another year.

Xie An sent a letter from the river, which took several days to go around and around along the way, and it was not delivered until last night, the letter said that the victory of the river was over, and attached a roster, which was written on the people who died in the battle of the river.

Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, Sima Yao deliberately did not mention this matter during the early dynasty, and after the early dynasty, he specially summoned Sima Daozi alone to play chess with him in the Qingxia Palace.

Sima Daozi didn't know that the former Qin was defeated, Sima Yao asked him to come here to play chess, so he didn't think much about it, this game of chess was in full swing, Sima Yao suddenly said: "The victory of the water is over, the former Qin is defeated, Fu Jian is deserted and fled, has the seventh ever heard?"

When Sima Yao spoke, Sima Daozi was about to land on the chessboard with the white son in his hand, and when he heard this, his hand suddenly froze.

When Sima Yao saw the situation, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Old Seven seems to be surprised?"

Sima Daozi didn't answer for a while, Sima Yao said with a smile: "I am also very surprised, before this battle, I heard that there were 800,000 troops on the side of the former Qin, and 80,000 troops in the Beifu Military District.

Speaking of this, Sima Yao showed a smug smile again, looked at Sima Daozi, his whole body was slightly forward, and continued to speak in a slightly threatening and tentative tone: "Old Seven, it's not strange that the 800,000 troops of the former Qin are no more than 80,000 Beifu soldiers, if Xie An is really resourceful, or does Fu Jian not have the slightest talent to lead the army?"

When Sima Daozi heard this, his complexion improved slightly, and he also smiled faintly and said, "Prime Minister Xie Cheng has made great contributions, and the sky is about to die."

Sima Yao laughed loudly when he heard this, and said: "After winning the battle, Xie An naturally contributed a lot, and this time the battle of Weishui won more with less, which can be matched with the battle of Chibi."

Sima Daozi still smiled carelessly, "Brother Huang is very right, even if it is the Battle of Chibi, I am afraid it will not be as famous as the Battle of Weishui. ”

"Although this battle was fought beautifully, it is a pity that I have also lost a minister," Sima Yao said in a slightly low voice, slightly sentimental, and his face was slightly gloomy, he regretted it from the bottom of his heart.

Sima Daozi was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Who died in battle?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and dropped a piece, Sima Yao heard him ask, Xu was sad, so he didn't want to answer him, but suddenly saw him drop the chess piece, so he pretended to be light and light, and said with a smile: "The seventh man lost."

Sima Daozi was slightly stunned, he naturally didn't win or lose in the chess game, but Sima Yao deliberately said: "Lao Qi actually lost to me, but what I just said distracted you?"

"Brother Huang's words are serious," Sima Daozi smiled, "The battle is won by the water, the younger brother is happy, the chess game is won or lost, and the younger brother doesn't care." ”

After he said that, another stove outside hurriedly ran in, holding a letter in his hand, ran to Sima Yao, and reported: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xie Cheng's letter."

Zhou Lu came forward and handed it to Sima Yao, Sima Yao opened it and looked at it, and immediately was full of joy, and said to himself: "If you set off from Xuancheng overnight yesterday, then at this time, you should be almost at the gate of the city."

As he spoke, Zhou Lu nodded slightly.

After Sima Yao finished speaking, he immediately turned his head to look at Zhou Lu and ordered: "Zhou Lu, quickly gather the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and go to the city gate with me to greet Xie Xiang!"

"Yes," Zhou Lu hurriedly turned around and went out to deliver the decree, Sima Yao looked back, and suddenly saw the list received last night on the soft couch, so he picked it up again, got up and handed it to an inner supervisor in the hall, and said: "You quickly send this list to Jianzhang Palace and hand it over to the Empress Dowager Chu for review."

Chongde Empress Dowager Chu Garlic, once in the court, assisted several emperors, in the court, she is also an indispensable figure, and now Sima Yao has personally presided over the government, but he still respects the Empress Dowager Chu, is a matter of the court, he also discussed with the Empress Dowager Chu.

The inner supervisor took the roster, agreed, and then turned around and went out, hurrying to Jianzhang Palace.

There was still goose feather snow outside, and the snow on the ground was a finger deep, and as soon as you stepped on it, the foot sank in.

At that time, Xi Pingzheng was standing here sprinkling paper money, sprinkling the paper money in the royal river, and said in his mouth: "Princess, today on Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Ye does not miss you, probably except for Shizi, no one will burn paper money for you, but the maid still thinks of your good, specially burns some for you, hopes that you will be at ease, and will not be disturbed by love/love again, and then be happy and happy, all will follow."

When she said this, she suddenly stopped, paused, and continued: "Don't worry, the servant will definitely avenge you."

The palace has never allowed to burn paper money, not to mention today's Chinese New Year's Eve, especially to avoid this matter, Biru stood behind her and listened, her heart was a little creepy from time to time, plus this day was cold, she had goosebumps all over her body.

It was still snowing, and it began to fall when it came out of the Changding Palace, Biru wanted to take an umbrella out, but Xi Ping was not allowed, saying that it was to pay tribute to Princess Langya, why should I hold an umbrella, and it would be okay to drench some snow, and why should I be so hypocritical.

Xi Ping said, stood by the imperial river again, and watched all the paper money flow away with the water, and then turned around, wanting to go back to Changding Palace.

At this time, the inner supervisor who sent the roster to Jianzhang Palace also happened to pass by the royal river.

Walking to the Yuhe Bridge, the foot slipped suddenly, the body was crooked, and he accidentally fell, lying in the snow and falling into the snow with a dog gnawing mud and eating a mouthful of snow.

It happened that Xi Ping and Biru were only a few steps away from the bridge, and Biru recognized the little eunuch, and when she saw him falling, Biru hurriedly ran over to help him up, and said kindly and anxiously: "Xiao Xincheng, what are you doing, panic."

The little eunuch stood up, saw the roster spread out and fell in the snow, for fear of getting wet, quickly picked it up, Bi Ruhu was suspicious, so he walked over and asked, "What is this?" You're so tight. ”

The little eunuch patted the roster, wanting to throw off the snow on it, and replied: "This is the roster sent by Prime Minister Xie Cheng last night, and it remembers that all the people who died in the battle of Weishui were all killed, and His Majesty asked me to send the roster to Jianzhang Palace and hand it over to the Empress Dowager Chu for a look, you also know that although the Empress Dowager Chu doesn't ask about the government, these things are all watched quite closely," he said, and involuntarily lowered his voice.

Biru was only concerned about talking to the inner eunuch, and for a while she forgot that Xi Ping was still here.

At that time, Xi Ping also walked over unhurriedly, with a straight face, and said coldly: "Biru, you are going to fight against him, have you really forgotten your identity?"

When Biru heard this, she came back to her senses, turned around and walked behind her in fright, bowed her head and promised, "The slave doesn't dare."

The little eunuch held the roster, bowed his head in a daze, and hurriedly raised his feet, wanting to run away.

The roster was still spread, and for a moment, Xi Ping unintentionally caught a glimpse of a certain three words written on the roster, and she was stunned for a moment, she also heard what the inner prison said, and what was written on this roster was all people who died in battle.

She immediately called: "Stop!"

The inner supervisor stopped, Xi Ping walked up to him, and asked with a strained face, "What are you holding in your hand?"

The inner supervisor said: "It's the roster."

Xi Ping snatched the roster, opened it and took a look, and really saw those three words.

She was stunned, sure enough! Really!

She sneered, "Go to Yilan Palace!" (To be continued.) )
