Chapter 67: Dading
After the emperor returned to the court, he quickly dealt with the chaotic government affairs. The battle against the Snow Wolf King was assigned to Silent Terror; On the side of the Nine Kings, in the name of the emperor, he issued an order to summon the Nine Kings back to Beijing and order the Feng family army to withdraw quickly; The Queen Mother ended her practice and returned to the palace from Jingci Nunnery; The Jingwang Party was quickly circled, and those who were arrested and raided their homes were raided, and the people in the capital were panicked. I actually begged the emperor to let me see King Jing, but I didn't have anything to say, but I always felt that he was killed like this, and I always felt that something was almost wrong without asking for a clear understanding. Whether it's beating the water dog, or making yourself happy, I must meet him before I am willing.
The next time, I took the silver dagger that Yi Shen gave me and went to General Shan's mansion. Lonely Surprise Cloud should not have time to go back to the General's Mansion these days, but the emperor ordered him to fight against the Snow Wolf King, and before he set out, he will definitely go back to the mansion to see the peace and explain a few words. I'll give him this dagger to Secamen, and I have no reason to ask the Emperor to see her anyway.
When Ping An saw me, he was enthusiastic: "Sister, my second uncle will not come back for a while, why don't you wait for him for a while?" ”
I haven't seen her for a while, and I treat people safely and things more to see everyone's demeanor, and my eyebrows have retreated from childishness. I looked at her with a smile: "Ping An has grown up and become more and more capable, this fake should also be cancelled, right?" When will you be on duty at the palace? ”
"My sister teased me." Ping'an smiled, "It's just these two days, the emperor has returned to the palace, and I can't be lazy anymore." ”
"I'm not joking with you." I smiled and said meaningfully, "The emperor dares to hand over such a big matter to you, which means that Ping An is already a powerful person by his side, and he should be capable." ”
General Lonely's death, now that I think about it, Ping An must have known the inside story a long time ago. When King Jing asked for an autopsy, she refused to let her die, I felt a little strange at the time, if the death of the lonely and terrifying clouds was really suspicious, why didn't Ping An let the coffin open? She and her second uncle depend on each other, and their relationship is so good, if Lonely Shocking Cloud is really wronged and died, it would be strange if her surname does not turn the world upside down, and the custom of Tiancao Country is just a pretext. The emperor was willing to tell her such an important matter, maybe he was afraid that she would make trouble without knowing the truth and sabotage his deployment, right? However, it is not easy for her surname to keep this secret strictly.
"Sister knows?" Ping An looked at me worriedly, "I didn't want to hide it from my sister......"
"Silly girl, this is a state secret, you naturally have to keep it strictly, how can I blame you?" I sighed and said softly, "It's just that at that time, I thought that General Lin was dead, and I was really sad for a while, knowing that it was fake, it was too late to be happy, how could I annoy you......"
"I really thought that the second uncle was dead at first, and the sadness is not fake......" Ping An paused, turned his eyes to the door, and looked at the door with a little surprise on his face, "Second uncle? You're back? As he spoke, he got up and rushed over, threw himself into the arms of the silent clouds, and tears fell from his eyes. I quickly stood up as well, and then I remembered that although the news of Lonely Cloud's death had already spread, he had been in the palace for the past two days, and Ping An should have only seen him.
"Silly girl, don't cry, don't cry, isn't the second uncle fine." Lonely Yun touched Ping'an's head dotingly, glanced at me, and said with a smile: "Isn't it okay to let Mrs. Yun see the joke." ”
"By the way, Sister Ye is here to find you." Ping An rubbed his eyes embarrassedly and left his arms. Silent Shocking Cloud looked at me and said, "What is Lady Yun looking for Shocking Clouds?" ”
I smiled and watched his uncle and nephew release their affection, a little hesitant, the next topic will inevitably spoil the atmosphere of this moment. After thinking about it, he said cautiously: "The general has come back to see Mrs. Lonely?" ”
The atmosphere changed immediately, and the eyes of the silent clouds were too calm, but the eyes of Ping An seemed to be about to erupt with fire: "What did my sister ask her to do?" My second uncle doesn't have such a wife who would frame his father-in-law! ”
I hesitated for a moment, and then took out the silver dagger from my sleeve: "This dagger is an old thing of Miss Sai, and a friend entrusted me to bring it to her. I know it's a bit inappropriate to ask the general for this matter, but the concubine really can't find anyone else to help, so ......"
Hearing this, Silent Cloud took the dagger in my hand, and his eyes became complicated. Ping An snatched the dagger and sneered: "When a person dies, it makes people feel uneasy!" As he spoke, he shoved the dagger into my hand, "Sister Ye, who gave you this dagger and who you give it back to, my second uncle can't help you, the one surnamed Sai is dead......"
"What?" I was stunned, I knew that Secamone had committed a capital crime this time, but I didn't expect her to die so silently, "The emperor has already interrogated her?" "Didn't the emperor say last time that when Silent Shocking Cloud woke up, he would interrogate her again, so that Silent Shocking Cloud would be innocent?
"Why do you need the emperor to judge her?" Ping An sneered, "As soon as the Gu King died, the forbidden spell in her body followed, and she was still alive?" ”
I took a breath: "But that deputy master of the Tiantai Supervisor, doesn't it mean that the forbidden spell on her body can be removed as long as the spell caster dies?" ”
"She exchanged her life with the Gu King for the evil law to harm people, and her surname was born and died with the Gu King, and the Gu King died unexpectedly, so she naturally couldn't live." Ping'an's face was full of disgust, "My second uncle is so good to her, she actually treats my second uncle like this......"
"Peace!" With a look of indescribable feeling on his face, he said in a deep voice, "The deceased is gone, and you don't need to be harsh." ”
I was completely stunned, remembering what Secarmen said before, I really didn't believe that General Lonely was the kind of person she said, but even if there was any misunderstanding in the middle, the damage to each other had already been done, and now that she is dead, it can be considered a grudge and a grudge, right?
"I didn't expect it to turn out like this, where is the girl buried?" I said again. I don't know what Shen Chen will do if he learns about Secamen's death, and he probably wants to go and worship her.
"She's not buried yet." Seeing me, she raised her eyebrows in surprise and explained, "I have cremated her body, and I am going to bring her ashes back to Chenxing Kingdom and bury them in her homeland when I go on this expedition. ”
"The general has a heart." I see. This should be the wish of Secamen's heart, no matter how far away from home, the wanderer always wants his soul to return to his homeland. It's just that now the old country is safe? The Kingdom of Chenxing has become the Kingdom of Snow Wolf...... Suddenly, I was slightly startled in my heart, and I raised my eyes to look at the silent clouds steadily. Is he going to infiltrate the enemy country and bury Secarmen? Or does the emperor intend to recover the Snow Wolf Kingdom? Seeing that I was staring at him tightly and lowering my eyelids, I was afraid that the latter was the majority. It seems that the emperor not only wants to annihilate the Snow Wolf King and the wolf cavalry in the hinterland of the Tiancao Kingdom, but also thinks about it, since the Chenxing Kingdom has become the Snow Wolf Country, and the main force of the Snow Wolf King and the Wolf Cavalry has been completely annihilated, he only needs to solve the remaining Snow Wolf Clansmen in the Chenxing Kingdom, and the Chenxing Kingdom has become the bag of the Tiancao Kingdom. When today's son is not the king of success, how can he give up such a God-given opportunity to expand the territory.
"The frontier is bitterly cold, and the general takes care all the way." I clenched the dagger and got up to salute: "The general is busy with military affairs, so the concubine will not disturb the general, so I will leave first." ”
Coming out of the General's Palace, I asked the Iron Guard to drive to the alley where he knew how to set up stalls. Holding the dagger in my hand, I was a little dazed, Saicamun died like this, and he didn't help him finish what he had been given to me. It is not known how he will react when he learns of Secamen's death. Thinking of this, I was even a little afraid to meet him. However, I was in that alley, but I didn't see Shen Shen's noodle stall, thinking that he didn't have a stall today, and went to his residence instead, but the person who came out of the door was a strange lady, and I heard that I was looking for Yi Shen, the lady frowned and said: "He doesn't live here anymore, he has already sold this house to me." ”
"Sold to you?" I was stunned: "When?" ”
"It's been almost two months." The eldest lady tilted her head and thought, "I moved in last month when my youngest son passed his birthday, and I was two months apart. ”
I did the math, and was surprised to find that the time was a few days before he handed over the dagger to me, at that time he had decided to leave Beijing, and when he heard that Sai Carmen was invited into the palace by the emperor, he returned to Beijing and asked me to bring her a dagger, I thought he would stay in Beijing and wait for news, but I didn't expect him to have not, and he had already sold the house early in the morning.
"Do you know where he moved to?" I asked with a hint of luck.
"I don't know." The lady shook her head and said to herself: "His house has even sold its furniture, and at a glance, he knows that he is going to travel far away......
I was gloomy in my heart, and I knew that I would not say goodbye, because I knew that I could not save Secarmen, and I did not want to stay and witness her death, and I did not want to hear about her death? However, knowing that his beloved would die, he didn't even think about a way to save her, so he left like this, was it too heartless, or did I think about the relationship between them wrong?
But I may never know these mysteries.
On July 24, the fifth year of Tianxiao Yuanjing, it was summer. The snow wolf king who hoarded troops on the north bank of the jade water, the wolf in the military camp was all poisoned overnight, and the wolf cavalry led by the silent cloud crossed the jade water, attacked the enemy at night, and the wolf cavalry who lost the wolf lost all their spirit, and retreated in a hurry. After the victory of the army, Silent Surprise Cloud did not have a squad to return to the court, and ordered to immediately wave his army north. Only the head of the Snow Wolf King was sent to the Beijing Division, and the emperor ordered to build the Heroic Soul Tower, laying the foundation with the head of the Snow Wolf King, and sacrificing the spirit of the soldiers who died in the hands of the wolf cavalry in the Tiancao Dynasty.
On July 26 of the fifth year of Tiancao Yuanjing. Yan Xiaoxiang led the army south, sent people to cross the Huang River, went to the Fengjia army camp to announce the decree, said that King Jing conspired against him, and the Fengjia army had insight into the conspiracy of the rebellious ministers and thieves. Now that King Jing has been captured by the emperor, the Feng family's army has retreated, and the commander Feng Qiwu immediately withdrew his army, and the Nine Kings returned to Beijing as soon as possible. After Feng Qiwu, the eldest brother of Concubine Feng, the maternal uncle of the Nine Kings, and the commander of the Fengjia Army in Southern Xinjiang, received the order, he did not withdraw immediately, and confronted Yan Xiaoxiang across the river, until the news of the defeat of the Snow Wolf King arrived, and Feng Qiwu sent someone to cross the river to inform Yan Xiaoxiang that he was willing to withdraw the army in accordance with the order. On the night when the Fengjia army agreed to withdraw the army, there were terrible and terrifying screams and roars from the commander's camp, and the military camp was in chaos for a night. The next time, the Nine Kings disappeared and their whereabouts were unknown, and there were rumors in the Feng family army that the Nine Kings were man-eating monsters. Yan Xiaoxiang crossed the river to check the severed arms and limbs of the commander Feng Qiwu and many soldiers who were "eaten" by the Nine Kings, and reported the news back to the imperial court, shocking the court. After hearing this, Feng Laiyi, the concubine in the Nine Kings' Mansion, only cried loudly, "The Feng family bears me", and then hit the wall and died.
On August 10 of the fifth year of Tianyao Yuanjing, white dew. The emperor appointed Xiao Wuwang, the commander of the right battalion of the Yulin Army, as the commander of the Fengjia Army, and succeeded Yan Xiaoxiang to lead the Fengjia Army to withdraw to the southern Xinjiang to deploy defenses, and along the way to clean up the state capitals destroyed by the war, Yan Xiaoxiang returned to the East China Sea. The Feng family lost Feng Qiwu, the military power returned to the emperor, the nine kings disappeared, life and death were unknown, Concubine Feng died, and the Feng family's vitality was greatly injured and collapsed.
On August 15 of the fifth year of Tianyao Yuanjing, Mid-Autumn Festival. The emperor gave the poisonous wine dove to kill King Jing, and ordered the whole house of men to be exiled to the south of the island, and the female dependents were not official maids. The core elements of the Jingwang Party, such as Lord Shang and Lord Li, were all beheaded and abandoned the city, and the rest should be killed, the army should be confiscated, and the exiled should be exiled, and the power of the Jingwang Party collapsed.
On the ninth day of September in the fifth year of Tiancao Yuanjing, Chongyang. Silent Horror Cloud led the Iron Cavalry to break through the Yuanchen Star Country occupied by the Snow Wolf Clan, and the remnants of the Snow Wolf Clan fled back to the glacier hinterland on the border of the Yuanchen Star Country. The Chenxing Kingdom has died, the royal family has no successor, and the people who have been bullied by the Snow Wolf Clan, under the leadership of several aristocratic families in the original Chenxing Kingdom, have dedicated the king's golden scepter, crown and golden seal, and are willing to belong to the Tiancao Kingdom. The surrender letter was sent back to the imperial court, the emperor stamped the jade seal, so far there was no Chenxing country in the world, the territory of Tiancao country expanded by one-third, the original Chenxing country became Tianyao country Chenzhou, the national capital became the state capital, the imperial court hoarded troops in Chenzhou, and sent a governor to Chenzhou.
Whether it is internally or externally, this is the moment when today's sub-power has reached its peak, he holds the power of the three armies, and he is no longer controlled by the ministers, and the hidden danger of the DPRK and China coveting his throne has been completely eliminated, and now is the time for him to concentrate on managing internal affairs.
