239. Chapter 105
Three months have passed, and everything in the palace is going on in an orderly manner. Although Ye Xue kept saying that he no longer believed me, he knew that his cruel notice had made too many enemies in the court, plus there were still the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager in the harem who did not go out of the gate and did not eat fast and chant Buddha, in case someone wanted to be unfavorable to me after he left, I could only be the meat on the board and let others cut it, so I still handed over all the forces in the palace to me to control, I didn't know that the secret guards arranged by Ye Xue in the palace were like shadows, they were everywhere.
Bodhisattva Ming and his elder brother Han Day, that is, Mo Qianxing, have explored almost every place in the palace, but they still haven't found An Qingjie's whereabouts, one of them is the emperor's extremely trusted commander of the imperial city guards, and the other is a person who has trained secret guards, coupled with the support of me, the queen mother, the operation in the palace has been very smooth, and has not been hindered by anything.
In the past three months, the court has also been calm, and I don't know whether it is the Beixue Yeqi and Su Enamel sitting in the court that have played a deterrent role, or the calm before the storm, I secretly summoned the Beixue Yeqi into the palace once, and secretly let him take Min Tianjing, who was locked in the prison, and asked the two of them to pay attention to the movements in the court at all times, and help me find out whether Yeyang and Xiaoye have returned to the Western Liao Kingdom, and what is the change in the Western Liao Kingdom, once there is an abnormal situation, tell me as soon as possible.
The news of the night snow also came back from time to time, after the Nanchen Kingdom lost the god of war Moling Frost, it was as Han Tian and I thought, the army was defeated and retreated, although the people of Nanchen swore to resist to the death, but in just over two months, the army led by Yexue to attack Qingcheng, the capital of Nanchen Kingdom, Nanchen has gone, and it seems that the defeat and surrender are only a matter of a few days. Ye Xue finally listened to my words, and every time he captured a city, as long as the people in the city did not resist too fiercely, he would always show mercy and not slaughter the city bloodily, which made me very happy.
After more than ten days, sure enough, news came from Qingcheng, the capital of Nanchen Kingdom, that the royal family of Nancheng had opened the city gate to welcome Yexue into the city, they surrendered to Yexue calmly, and Yexue did not embarrass them, and directly announced that Nanchen Kingdom would be incorporated into the territory of Beiyang Kingdom from now on, and the lord of Nanchen Kingdom would be an idle prince, and he would enjoy endless glory and wealth in his life, in fact, we all know that this is just house arrest in disguise, but this result is already good, if you follow Yexue's previous temper, you will directly raise the knife and wash the palace in blood. Cut the grass and eradicate the roots, I think that after I come, no one in Nanchen Kingdom will come out to resist, I know that he is all for me, after all, nominally I was the imperial concubine of Molingshuang, and the lord of Nanchen is my father-in-law, and he didn't do too much in my face after all.
After the surrender ceremony, the Nanchen Kingdom died, and there was no Nanchen from then on, and I don't know if Lingshuang would feel sad when he watched the destruction of the country he had worked so hard to maintain, but unfortunately even if he was sad, it was useless, the unification of the world was a necessary part of the historical process, and the world would be divided for a long time, and he believed that he knew early on that the final fate of the Nanchen Kingdom would only be swallowed up by other countries.
Yexue destroyed Nanchen with the power of thunder, and the next one is the Western Liao Kingdom, they are different from Nanchen, the Western Liao is good at fighting, the reason why Yexue was able to capture Nanchen so quickly, on the one hand, is because the monarch of Nanchen is weak, and there is no one in the country who can preside over the overall situation, on the other hand, because Yexue sent troops too suddenly, even I only knew the news that he was going to attack Nanchen the day before he set out for the expedition, Nanchen did not have the slightest preparation, and was naturally caught off guard. But the Western Liao Kingdom had been prepared as early as when the Northern Yang Kingdom entered the palace Nanchen, and the Western Liao should not have waited for Nanchen to be destroyed, after all, after the original situation of the Three Kingdoms was broken, the power of the Northern Yang Kingdom, which had taken Nanchen into the bag, increased greatly, which was a huge threat to the Western Liao Kingdom. But it happened that there were also major problems in the country during that period of time in the Western Liao Kingdom, and Duanmuqing, the prince of the Western Liao Kingdom, could not stand his elderly father and the emperor who was dominating the throne and did not let go, so he launched a coup d'état in the palace, preparing to oust his father from the throne and become the emperor himself. You said that Duanmuqing, the prince of the Western Liao Kingdom, is also very interesting, he is already the prince, as long as he waits patiently for a few more years, he will be the emperor when the lord of the Western Liao Kingdom returns to heaven, but he can't bear to force a confession and rebel. The lord of the Western Liao Kingdom is also an interesting lord, you said that you are so old, it is not good to abdicate early to give your son a few years of seclusion behind the scenes, but he just does not abdicate, but it is a pity that the world's infatuation with power is so deep, father and son turn against each other, and the government and the opposition are turbulent. At the moment when the prince of the Western Liao Kingdom led the troops to capture the imperial city, the general of the Western Liao Kingdom, Yeyang, suddenly appeared, led the army to surround the prince and rescued the lord of the Western Liao, the situation took a turn for the worse, and finally the lord of the Western Liao State won the victory, but after this civil war, it was also a great injury.
When the news of the civil strife in Western Liao came, I was sitting on the recliner of the Green Clothes Palace drinking tea in a daze, carefully connecting the things before and after, and finally couldn't help but sigh that Yexue This guy is simply a fox who kills people without seeing blood, no wonder he was able to replace the wise and martial Emperor Tianming from the throne of Beiyang Kingdom in only eight years, and he also played me around, and had to be the queen mother of this Beiyang Kingdom. Thinking that the occurrence of this civil strife in Western Liao was indispensable to the help of Yexue, he first swept Beixue Yeyang from Xiliao to Beiyang, as for how to do it, it is not difficult to guess, it is estimated that I must have been used as bait, and used Yeyang's eagerness to avenge his mother to deceive him from Xiliao and arrest him. In this way, the strength of the lord of the Western Liao Kingdom has been greatly reduced, and at this time, he sent someone to provoke the prince Duanmuqing, and Duanmuqing, who had long been unwilling to be the prince, had already secretly cultivated his own power, and just took this opportunity to start forcing the palace. In this way, the Western Liao Kingdom has absolutely no time to pay attention to the war situation between Nanchen and Beiyang, and then Yexue borrowed my hand to release Yeyang, after all, it is his brother-in-law, Yexue is not so that the six relatives do not recognize that they have to put Yeyang to death, let me let Yeyang go, one is to let Yeyang remember my life-saving grace, but through my hand to disfigure Yeyang, Yeyang will definitely do it willingly, and when Yexue returns to Xiliao, the situation in Xiliao is basically decided, no matter who wins or loses, Xiliao will be greatly injured, Not only was Nanchen destroyed by the Western Liao State unable to stop it, but even if the Northern Yang State and the Western Liao Kingdom went to war in the future, the current situation of the Western Liao State would not be much better.
In fact, I believe that Yexue is more hoping that Duanmu Qing, the prince of the Western Liao Kingdom, can drive him down to be the emperor, Duanmu Qing has always been very jealous of Yeyang because of Yeyang's favor by the lord of the Western Liao, which is also a reason why Duanmu Qing can't help but launch a mutiny to seize the throne, although Yeyang is only the grandson of the lord of the Western Liao, but since Yeyang returned to the Western Liao and changed his name to Duanmu Yeyang, the lord of the Western Liao has been hundreds of times better to him than his own son and grandson, no wonder Duanmu Qing is jealous. If Duanmu Qing is the emperor, he will definitely not be able to tolerate Yeyang, and when Yexue attacks the Western Liao Kingdom, there will be one less powerful enemy, but unfortunately everything in the world can not be completely according to people's plans, although Yexue's plan is perfect, but he did not expect that Yeyang appeared at the last moment to stop Duanmu Qing, and in the end, the old lord won, and Yeyang also regained his military power, and then Yexue wanted to enter the palace of Western Liao, and the chances of winning the Western Liao Kingdom were a few points less.
