Chapter 416

There is not much time left in late autumn, and the cold and desolation of the coming winter are mixed with the light breeze of the night, adding a little sadness.

In the northern city, the people took to the streets to roam happily, and the Xining army, which had returned from a great victory, was singing comfortably in the barracks, sharing the victory of the difficult process but the outcome was extremely simple.

He Hu was seriously injured and temporarily stayed in the northern city for medical treatment, and after the explosion of fire and thunder in the valley, He Qili agreed with Emperor Zhengcang to deliver a letter of surrender to Xining three days later, and claimed that as long as he Qili was alive, he would definitely not raise troops to attack again.

At that time, Emperor Zhengcang and Xining were full of thoughts, and they didn't say much when they saw this.

It's just that the whole city is celebrating, and there is not a trace of celebration in the Dubei General's Mansion.

This night, the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion was exceptionally brightly lit and quiet.

Except for Zuo Yuanfeng, who was in the same room with Emperor Zhengcang, everyone who returned from the valley actually returned to their rooms one by one and closed the door, and they didn't even use dinner.

But it was invariably the same thing, lighting all the candles in the room.

At this moment, or this night, everyone seems to want to spend this long night with the soul of the young man who is most afraid of loneliness in his life.

Inside the study of the General's Mansion.

"I didn't expect that the emperor could escape from the grotto safely, it was Deng Si'er......"

Zuo Yuanfeng quietly listened to Emperor Zhengcang slowly tell all the things that happened in the grotto, even if Emperor Zhengcang looked indifferent and his tone was calm when he spoke, but every time he went to a key place, every time there was a sudden change, Zuo Yuanfeng listened as if he could describe everything that Emperor Zhengcang said in his mind.

Emperor Zhengcang nodded lightly when he heard this, remembering the scene when Deng Si'er threw Chu Qingyang, who was holding the ignited fire thunder, into the stone gate regardless of his own safety, and couldn't help but say slowly:

"Just after Wang Ziming injured He Hu, Chu Qingyang actually took advantage of Deng Si'er, Zuo Idiot and the Shadow Gate Secret Master to go to Wang Ziming's side, and wanted to die with me, although even if he was blocked by Daoist Nie, Mr. Mo and Zuo Idiot, Chu Qingyang did not hesitate to exhaust his life's strength to shock all four of them back...... Originally, looking at Chu Qingyang's attitude towards care, I thought he was ...... I was able to turn back, but I never expected that even if I knew everything at the beginning, Chu Qingyang still ......"

Speaking of which, Emperor Zhengcang remembered the Empress Dowager's entrustment to him before leaving the capital, but now, not to mention bringing back Chu Qingyang, even Deng Si'er, the only bloodline of his best brother, was buried in the deep valley cave, and even the corpse was nowhere to be found......

"By the way, General, what's the situation in the capital now?"

Emperor Zhengcang took a deep breath, thinking that the current priority and the turmoil in the capital had not been fully subsided, Emperor Zhengcang couldn't help but shake his head, turned to Zuo Yuanfeng and said.

When Zuo Yuanfeng heard this, he immediately took out a letterhead that had already been opened and read from his arms, handed it to Emperor Zhengcang and said:

"Your Majesty, this is a secret letter from the capital that was sent before dawn today. The letter was written by Wu Jue himself, and all the situations in the capital and the palace were clearly written on this letter. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Zhengcang frowned slightly and asked suspiciously:

"Wu Jue? But the person who was invited by Zuo Idiot to help his mother guard the palace together? Thinking that since Zuo Idiot personally invited him to go, he must be credible, and he must have his merits. ”

Zuo Yuanfeng nodded and said:

"Yes, Wu Jue is actually the second son of the Wu family in Jiangbei, a famous family of mighty martial arts, Ping Su and Deng Si'er...... is the most deed, and has a good relationship with Idiot and Yao'er. The emperor didn't know that the Jiangbei Wu family had many shops in the capital, but they were all taken care of by the second son of Wu Jue, although he didn't see any special moves, but all the shops of the Jiangbei Wu family in the capital were well run and had a good reputation, and they didn't seem frivolous and restless because Wu Jue was a young junior. Not only that, Wu Jue's father Wu Baichuan, not only had a close friend with Deng Si'er's master Mr. Mo Lidao, but also was a friend with His Royal Highness King Jing back then. ”

Emperor Zhengcang had already read Wu Jue's letter when he heard Zuo Yuanfeng talk about Wu Jue, and the content of the letter was not much, but he was able to describe the situation in the capital in a few words in a detailed and orderly manner, and the regulations were clear, and he was obviously an extraordinary person.

So Emperor Zhengcang nodded and said:

"If this person doesn't have his own uniqueness, if you want to come to someone like your son, you won't choose him to stay in the capital just in case."

Zuo Yuanfeng heard this:

"Your Majesty, when this letter was delivered to Wechen, Wechen had already read it. According to Wu Jue's letter, the capital and the palace are now controlled by Song Guifei Niangniang. In the capital, half of the patrol battalion generals and the generals of the Praetorian Guard in the palace fell to the side of Song Guifei Niangniang, it can be seen that the eighth prince usually acts in a low-key manner and never competes with others. ”

Emperor Zhengcang snorted heavily when he heard this, thinking that Song Guifei was the culprit who single-handedly put his best brother, the third prince Yue Wang Chu Jing into death sixteen years ago, plus Deng Si'er sacrificed his life to protect all of them from the grotto, and couldn't help but increase his ruthlessness towards Song Guifei a little more.

I only heard Emperor Zhengcang say:

"I think that Song Guifei was able to endure for so many years after I ascended the throne, and the depth of her city can be seen, Song Guifei has a strong heart, and the eighth prince must have obeyed his mother's will since he was a child. Thinking that at that time, I issued an order to summon Song Yuqiu to return to Beijing for trial, Song Guifei must have been worried that Song Yuqiu would tell the inside story she knew, so she set up a killer ambush in the woods outside the capital, and their mother and son had a nest of snakes and rats, and the means were even more insidious, and they were still thinking about the Supreme Dragon Chair for so many years, it was really delusional!! ”

But right now, Song Guifei has already controlled most of the palace in her hands, just because the queen mother has been chanting scriptures and worshipping Buddha in her bedroom all the year round, and never asked about the government and politics. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't last long. ”

Emperor Zhengcang's face sank when he heard this, and now the battle between the two armies of Xining and Huiqiang has just ended, even if he returns to the capital immediately, it will take more than five days. What's more, Hui Qiang will offer a letter of surrender three days later?

When Emperor Zhengcang thought of this, he really didn't have a definite feasible way, so he couldn't help pacing back and forth in place.

But I heard Zuo Yuanfeng speak:

"Your Majesty, according to Weichen, maybe there is a way for Xu to be an idiot, but Deng Si'er has just died, and he is afraid that he will be ......" (to be continued.) )
