Chapter 188: Turning things around
He finished speaking, and when he had finished speaking, he stopped talking and concentrated on eating.
Liu Xuan was silent, she ate silently, thinking about Li Che's words.
He is right, his side is full of dangers, there are not a few people like Qiu Ju, fortunately it is Qiu Ju today, if someone else changes, as he said, what if that person takes the risk and is not only unwilling to hand over the antidote, but even hijacks himself?
She is a woman's benevolence after all, she only thinks about what will happen if she releases Qiu Ju and Li Che, she just thinks about what will happen if she lets Qiu Ju go and loses the opportunity to find her comrades, but she never thinks that letting Qiu Ju go is an extremely dangerous thing in itself.
Li Che is right, after all, she misses the relationship between master and servant too much because of the past.
Through his reminder, she realized that she had always thought that her heart was ruthless enough, and she had always thought that she was ready to accompany him on the thorny road, but in fact, she hadn't.
She was silent for a long time and nodded, looked at him and said seriously, "I will learn to be a person who is good enough to stand by your side." ”
Li Che turned his head to look at her when he heard this, looked at her serious look, and then nodded slightly: "Okay, I believe in you." ”
The two stopped talking, and after finishing the meal, Liu Xuan first went to the curtain to take a bath, and after bathing, Dongmei twisted her wet hair at the table, and the small pillar changed the water, and Li Che walked behind the curtain to bathe.
After these days of getting along day and night, listening to the sound of water coming from behind the curtain, Liu Xuan has become accustomed to it, and she asked while flipping through the book casually: "What do the soldiers say after today's discussion?" ”
Li Che's voice came from behind the curtain: "Very wonderful." ”
Liu Xuan pursed her lips and was a little disbelieving: "Don't fool me, I still have some self-knowledge." ”
Li Che did not answer. Liu Xuan pouted and said, "They have never complained that it is good for you to inform me of such a military matter, so how can they praise this plan for being very good." ”
Hearing her say this, Li Che lowered his eyes slightly, and he said lightly: "I have never informed you of the affairs of the military state, everything is inferred from Qiu Ju's words, and even if I tell you, what if I tell you?" I'm not a faint king, and you're not a thief. ”
"That's what I said." Liu Xuan closed the book and looked at the curtain, the thin curtain reflected the outline of Li Chejiao's beautiful back, she glanced at it and hurriedly looked away: "Having said that, since ancient times, it has been the most taboo to interfere in the harem. I have not yet entered your harem. But for the courtiers, it is always inappropriate for women to interfere in politics, fortunately, the camp is full of your cronies, and they are all martial artists, and these things are not as important as the literati. ”
As she spoke. The sound of the water behind the curtain slowly stopped. It wasn't until she finished speaking that the sound of water sounded again. Li Che had already frowned, and his deep eyes were also a little cold, and he said lightly: "This matter will be discussed when the time is ripe." ”
Liu Xuan nodded when she heard this. She knew that he wanted to stand up for himself and win the admiration of the generals, but there were some things that could not be rushed, and as he said, the time was not yet ripe.
Liu Xuan's plan was soon implemented, but within half a month, the truth of the matter began to spread in the Liao Kingdom.
Everyone thought it was Jin Yi's generosity, so they still reused it regardless of the mistakes of the national teacher, but once the truth of the matter was revealed, everyone suddenly realized!
Originally, the matter of seizing the throne and forcing the palace made many courtiers dissatisfied with Jin Yi, but now once the matter is exposed, everyone is not only dissatisfied this time, but also know that the crime of killing his father is a heinous crime even in Liaoguo! What's more, Jin Yi also took dangerous moves, in order to frame the eldest prince, he even poisoned so many innocent people, and even the sergeants who worked for him poisoned tens of thousands!
Suddenly, the group of people was angry, and the generals whose relatives were stabbed to death couldn't even hide their anger, and questioned Jin Yi in the morning.
Jin Yi glanced at the national teacher of Liao, and said lightly: "It's just some rumors, you actually believe such rumors that turn black and white upside down?!" ”
But how can such an understatement make people believe? The voices of doubts are getting louder and louder, and everyone thinks of the actions of the prince on weekdays, and feels more and more that the truth of the matter is as the rumors say.
There were generals who were originally in the old department of the eldest prince, and even began to secretly gather together to prepare to rescue the eldest prince.
Just when the situation was getting more and more out of control, all of a sudden, the old departments of the great princes who had secretly gathered together were all destroyed, and they were wiped out silently.
As soon as such a thing came out, everyone knew what kind of king they were supporting!
No one dared to question Jin Yi in person, and no one dared to gather secretly, even if there was no movement between colleagues.
Jin Yi relied on iron-blooded means to calm down the turmoil.
However, this is only a superficial calm.
From beginning to end, there was one person who never said a word, and he was Ye Luqing, who was pinned on by Liu Xuan!
Yeluqing's prestige in the army is not lower than that of Jin Yi, he has not moved, and even those who have a heart in the army can only press it.
Just when everything seemed to be calming down, the war book of the Li dynasty was handed to the main hall by the envoys of the dynasty during the last dynasty, and the envoys read the war book in front of him, and then said: "Your Majesty asked me to question the King of Liao face to face, why did you rebel, and now where are the three people sent by my Majesty to assist the King of Liao?" ”
Hearing this, there was silence in the court, and Jin Yi looked at the envoy with eagle-like eyes and said, "Why did Your Majesty say this? This king has never made any agreement with Your Majesty, and this king is a Liao, how could he do such a treasonous thing! ”
The envoy snorted coldly when he heard this: "If you have never done it, the King of Liao knows what the King of Liao means, and the King of Liao must have already known the meaning of my country's saints, if you don't let go of those three people within three days, don't blame me for hundreds of thousands of troops stepping on the land of your Liao Kingdom!" ”
After speaking, the envoy flicked his sleeves and walked away!
Quiet! Except for stillness or quiet!
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty bowed their heads and did not say a word, although the national strength of the Liao State was not as good as that of the Li Dynasty, but how could they have suffered such humiliation!
If it was in the past, they would have attacked it in groups, but today there is silence in the court.
Jin Yi didn't speak, he quietly looked at the ministers who bowed their heads and were silent, and then sneered: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add!" If the Li family dares to come, I will make sure that he will not return! ”
After saying this, he withdrew from the court.
After everyone dispersed, someone finally couldn't help but go up to Yeluqing's mansion. However, Yeluqing was closed and disappeared.
The crowd was closed, and some patriots even wailed and cried in front of the door, kneeling for a long time and refusing to leave.
When Jin Yi heard about this, he immediately called the national teacher of the Liao State, and the national teacher only smiled coldly: "Those who achieve great things are not informal, and since ancient times, they have become kings and defeated emperors, as long as the king passes this pass, he will definitely be a generation of Ming monarchs praised by thousands of people in the future." ”
Jin Yi was not as optimistic as the national teacher of the Liao State, he rubbed his brows and said, "Then Li Che wants this king to release Long Yi and the others within three days, what should I do according to the opinion of the national teacher?" ”
The national teacher of the Liao State frowned slightly: "You can also put it away, but you can't put it so easily." Didn't the king still have a woman and a child in the hands of the emperor of that dynasty? It's better to exchange three for two. lest the emperor of that dynasty use that mother and son to cause any trouble. ”
Jin Yi nodded when he heard this, and immediately handed a letter to his cronies.
When Li Che received the letter, he was accompanying Liu Xuan to spread it in the barracks, and he glanced at the letter and snorted lightly: "Sun Xun, directly send someone to send Wu Ying and Yi'er to Jin Yi." Let's just say that I am not a person like him. My conditions remain the same. Either release or fight! ”
Sun Xun took the order and left.
On the day Wu Ying and Yi'er left, Liu Xuan went to send it off, and Wu Ying lowered her head and smiled. said to Yi'er in his arms: "Yi'er, Yi'er, you're going to see your father soon, are you happy?" ”
Seeing such a scene, Liu Xuan's words of advice were stuck in her throat, she thought about calling Dongmei and asked her to send some silver tickets to Wu Ying's mother-in-law, and when she arrived in Liao, Wu Ying and Yi'er's life would not be as Wu Ying expected, and this was all she could do for her.
When Wu Ying and Yi Er were sent to the Liao State in full view, Jin Yi crushed the tea cup in his hand, and the national teacher of the Liao State also sneered: "The national division still underestimates the emperor of the dynasty!" If the king releases people at this time, he will definitely be despised by his subjects, but if he does not let go, he will only have to fight. ”
Jin Yi's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said coldly: "Since this is the case, it is better not to do two endlessly!" Directly get rid of those three people and my big brother together! ”
Hearing this, the national teacher of the Liao State nodded: "The minister will do it!" ”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a Jinyi cronie hurriedly ran in, and he gasped and said urgently, "Oh no...... Oh no, your king, Jerod...... Yeluqing rescued the three Han people and ...... And the Great Prince! ”
Hearing this, Jin Yi slapped at the man, and he said angrily: "A bunch of waste! The eldest prince is heavily guarded, how did he rob people?! ”
The cronie was slapped to the ground by Jin Yi's palm, and a mouthful of blood spit out of his mouth, and when he heard the questioning, he hurriedly crawled to his knees: "Ye Luqing personally brought several masters under his account, first to save the three Han people, and then went to save the eldest prince." The martial arts of those three Han people are too high, and those guards are not the opponents of the three at all! ”
Jin Yi's grinding teeth sounded in the study, and he said hatefully: "What a Yeluqing! ”
The national teacher of the Liao State waved his hand to signal the cronies to retreat, and then said to Jin Yi: "What the king should do now is to send people to chase those people, and immediately send troops to arrest Yeluqing's family members for the crime of collaborating with the enemy." ”
When Jin Yi heard this, he immediately issued an order, and while sending people to chase after the eldest prince and others, he also sent people to arrest Yeluqing's relatives and relatives.
However, the person who was sent to arrest Yeluqing's family soon returned, and he looked at Jin Yi and whispered, "When I went down, the general's mansion was empty!" ”
When Jin Yi heard this, he suddenly sat down on the seat, and the national teacher of the Liao State closed his eyes and sighed: "Now the king can only fight!" ”
Such news was transmitted back to the military camp of the Li Dynasty, and everyone applauded when they got the news, and the crowd was excited.
The generals asked for their orders one after another, asking to lead their troops to the expedition to level the Liao State in one fell swoop, but Li Che was still calm and light-faced, he looked outside the barracks, and said a word lightly: "Wait!" ”
The generals did not know what he meant, but they knew it in ten days, for ten days later, while they were discussing the war, a guard ran into the tent like a ghost: "Report! The prince of Liao and the general of Liao, Ye Luqing, beg to see His Majesty! ”
As soon as the sentry's words fell, Long Yilong, Long San, and Long San walked in, and they all knelt down on one knee and saluted Li Che: "My subordinates are fortunate to have brought the eldest prince and Yeluqing back safely!" ”
Li Che looked at the three kneeling down, looked at them and looked slightly embarrassed, and said softly: "You have worked hard all the way, go down and rest first." ”
Long Yilong and Long San said that this is their subordinate duty, and then retreated, but they did not go down to rest as Li Che ordered, but went to the big tent to see Liu Xuan first.
Long Yi looked at Liu Xuan's expression a little complicated, he and Long Er, Long San, hugged their fists and saluted Liu Xuan, and then said, "Thank you Miss Liu for your rescue." ”
Liu Xuan smiled at Long Yi: "In the past, it was always you who saved me, but this time I saved you, I have never thanked you, why should you thank me." ”
Long Yi didn't speak, only hugged his fist and saluted her, and then withdrew from the big tent with Long Er and Long San.
After they left, Dongmei smiled and said, "Miss's expectation is not bad, Commander Long really came to thank Miss first." ”
Liu Xuan raised her eyebrows: "He, although he didn't show it, I know that he has some complaints about me because of the past, and now I see if he dares to look at me coldly." ”
Dongmei was slightly stunned when she heard this: "Hasn't the Dragon Commander always been like that?" ”
Liu Xuan suddenly smiled: "Yes, yes, he has always been like that, maybe I am too careful." ”
"Since Commander Long has returned, the great prince of Liao must have arrived in the army." Dongmei smiled and said, "Miss, do you know why they came?" ”
Liu Xuan glanced in the direction of the military tent, lightly opened her red lips and spit out two words: "Borrow soldiers!" ”
The great prince of Liao and Ye Luqing did come to borrow troops, Jin Peng, the great prince of Liao, just said his thoughts, and immediately got the opposition of all the generals, and some generals stepped forward and snorted coldly: "The great prince has a bad memory!" The Liao country brutalized the innocent people of our dynasty, harassed me at the border all the year round, and eyed me fiercely, and now you are in trouble, but you want to come to borrow troops from my pilgrimage? ”
Jin Peng didn't speak, and Yeluqing on the side didn't speak, and the general's questioning was not answered, so he became angry at the moment, and was about to open his mouth to scold, but saw Li Che waving his hand at him.
Seeing this, the general had to suppress the anger in his heart and took a step back.
Li Che looked at Jin Peng and Yeluqing and said, "It's okay to borrow soldiers, but why should I borrow troops from you?" ”
Ye Luqing on the side sneered when he heard this: "Why should the Han emperor be so coy, borrowing troops with my eldest prince, first, it can make my Liao's internal strife and strength greatly damaged, second, it can make Liao's annual offerings effortlessly, and third, it can get the promise of my eldest prince, didn't the Han emperor think about such a plan to kill three birds with one stone?" ”
Li Che raised his thin lips slightly when he heard this, he nodded and said, "I have indeed thought about it, but I have another idea, that is, to set foot in the Liao Kingdom!" ”
The eldest prince, who had never spoken, suddenly laughed loudly when he heard this, and the generals in the army who were smiling frowned and showed angry expressions, if it weren't for Li Che's always indifferent appearance, the generals would have stepped forward and slashed Jinpeng to death in one fell swoop!
Jin Peng laughed enough, he looked at Li Che and said: "It is rumored that the Han emperor is strategic, but today I see it is just like this, if you want to set foot in the Liao State, how easy is it, my imperial brother is the god of war of the Liao State, even if he can't win, but it is enough to defend the territory, although the Liao State is chaotic now, but once you raise an army, the Liao State will definitely work together to resist the enemy!"
