Chapter 225: Prove Yourself
No, it's not treachery, he did not use Nan Chu's army to attack, but lobbied Yan Heng to help.
Yan Heng ......
When he was still the crown prince of Yan State, many people questioned his ability, so he was eager to prove himself, and Li Guo became the best way for him to prove himself.
Li Qianxun didn't expect that everything would be so logical.
It's just that the Northern Qi is coming, and the people of Li are already panicking, and this time Yan is coming again, how can she stabilize her people......
Night falls.
The entire capital of Li Kingdom quietly seemed to be an empty city, and Li Qianxun only brought Shen Haofeng, so the two of them changed into casual clothes and planned to go out for a walk. Shen Haofeng was worried, hesitated for a long time to speak, and never dared to speak.
He didn't know what to say.
And Li Qianxun's reaction was even more calm, as if he didn't know the news outside.
Walking down this circle, Li Qianxun understood that the people of Li did not know that Yan Guo was preparing to attack again, and the reason why the city was so quiet was because everyone went to prepare for the aftermath and pray for blessings.
In fact, it turned out that Li Qianxun almost didn't know that on a certain day, the people of Li would go to the Wahuang Temple to pray for blessings, and today is that day. She walked everywhere, and unconsciously walked in front of the Wahuang Temple, and sure enough, her people were here.
"Wahuang Niangniang, I'm here to repay my wishes." The woman paid the incense and knelt before the idol. In ancient times, people were generally superstitious, and Li Qianxun also knew this. She never believed in God, never believed in ghosts, and only believed in herself.
Only oneself can change one's own destiny, so one's destiny should never be decided by others, even God, right?
The woman first bowed twice, and then said with relief: "Wahuang Niangniang, since the empress came, the Li Kingdom has been getting better and better...... Although there has been war in recent days, the empress has protected us very well. Moreover, this time the Qi State attacked, and it turned out that he couldn't get the slightest benefit. I know that Emperor Wa must have heard my wishes, so she sent the Empress to help us......"
Li Qianxun listened, and she was a little relieved in her heart, but she didn't understand, why did her image suddenly become tall in the eyes of the people?
Her doubts didn't need to be asked, Shen Haofeng seemed to sense the general explanation: "During this period of time, people have often come here to pray for blessings. It has spread outside, saying that Your Majesty is like a god with soldiers, and you can wipe out the 30,000 troops of the Northern Qi Dynasty without a single soldier. The news spread outside, how could the people in the city not know? Everyone is bless Your Majesty in front of the gods. ”
Li Qianxun glanced at him and did not speak.
Shen Haofeng seems to be sincerely happy for Li Qianxun, after all, as a generation of emperors, the most important thing is the people's heart, and the trust of the people is also an indispensable condition.
But is now really the time to rejoice in this?
The next woman paid the incense money, and still came to the statue, first bowed twice, and then began to cry lowly, and while wiping her tears, she said intermittently in her crying voice: "Wahuang Niangniang, my son has left in the war today...... Everyone advised me not to be upset, because I went to war to protect my country. I also understand all this, but I am just sad, I was pregnant for ten months, and the son I gave birth to with so much hard work was raised to such a big age, but he left like this...... I beg you, I beg you, there will be no more wars, no one will want their loved ones to pass away. But there's a lot of turmoil outside, and I don't know what to do......"
Li Qianxun listened, and sighed helplessly.
She understands what it feels like to lose a loved one, but it's something she can't do about it.
There is no war, and this is indeed the long-cherished wish of all people. She killed so many Qi soldiers on the battlefield, but will the family members of those Qi soldiers also run to the temple at night to cry and complain, just because there is no one to talk to in their own home?
She suddenly didn't know what to do.
The army of the Yan State is on the sidelines, and once the war starts, the people of the entire Li Kingdom will feel desperate. But as an emperor, she doesn't know how to appease, because everything outside is a fact.
Shen Haofeng stood behind him, and he couldn't help but be a little moved.
As a general, he was originally followed by a lot of people, and those people went to the battlefield with him, naturally they were born and died, and it was naturally best to come back alive, but when they went to the battlefield, it was not easy to come back alive, and even if some people could come back, they became crippled......
Isn't this mediocre life a mediocre life a success in the end?
"Your Majesty......"
The only thing he can rely on is the woman in front of him, right? She's the empress.
Li Qianxun turned his head, suddenly seemed to have some belief, and then said, "Are you free now?" Accompany me to another place. ”
"Where is Your Majesty going? The situation is ...... right now."
"Of course I know you can't run around." Li Qianxun sighed, so far, she has only one way out: "Go to Emperor Chu with me, even if the negotiation fails, it's good to try, at least you shouldn't let yourself have regrets to stay." ”
Visiting late at night, Chu Zhaoheng was more or less surprised.
To be honest, after hearing his subordinates say "The Empress asks to see", he had a very slight surprise in his heart.
"Let her in."
Li Qianxun and Shen Haofeng entered together, and in the tent, only Chu Zhaoheng was included, he did not put on a battle suit, but a civilian dress, and sat there looking at the military book, as if he was really out of the matter.
"Emperor Chu, do you remember what you promised me?" Li Qianxun obviously came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, otherwise she couldn't swallow that breath.
"Since the empress is here, why don't you say it earlier, so that I can be prepared."
"Ready?" Li Qianxun sneered: "Are you going to let you arrest me?" Emperor Chu, I came here today to have a showdown with you, you directly said, how can you withdraw from the army, I will do my best. ”
She just did her best, but she didn't intend to compromise on everything.
Emperor Chu is belligerent, if he lets the Li Kingdom fall into his hands, he is afraid that he will become a tool for fighting everywhere, and in this way, it will really be endless.
She didn't want this vicious circle to continue, but Chu Zhaoheng didn't necessarily think so, the current situation was not enough to expand his ambitions.
"Oh? I am also a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and I will never take advantage of the danger of others, I am still the condition last time, if the empress agrees, I can try to persuade Yan Heng as much as possible to persuade the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom outside to let him withdraw. ”
