351. 351. Background
"What about the fifth brother and the two imperial sisters-in-law, as well as Lin'er? How are they? In addition, how could the Purple Guards and the Dragon Guardian Clan not notify me in time, and also did not stop Sima Chun and the other traitors from rebelling? β
"The King of Qi was ordered by the emperor to lead a part of the secret guards to secretly escort the two princesses and the prince in advance, as well as Mrs. Han left the capital and hid in a manor purchased by the King of Qi, they were all safe and sound, as for the purple guards and the dragon guards" Leng Yi's eyes flashed slightly: "It was the emperor who secretly ordered them to stay still, one is that you are far away in Liang to assist Liang Siyuan in stabilizing the imperial power, once you know about this, you must be distracted and worried, and the other is to lure out Sima Chun and other traitors, so that they can be wiped out in the name of justice!" β
What Leng Yi didn't say was that Emperor Huiwen promised that Mu Qingyi would let Lin Yudi go, but Lin Yudi didn't know what to do, and it was more reasonable for Jiu'er to dispose of Lin Yudi, and the reason why Emperor Huiwen never eradicated Lin Bingquan and his henchmen was to leave the opportunity to Jiu'er, so as to erect a virtuous and virtuous image of a wise and virtuous monarch in the hearts of his subjects.
"What is the situation in Beijing now?"
Along the way, Qingyun did not see any signs of turmoil in the counties along the way, and Yunfei's secret report was also truthfully replied, only the officials of Qiyang County and several surrounding counties responded to Lin Bingquan, but they did not leave the place, and also lost contact with the capital, and the rest of Lin Bingquan's protΓ©gΓ©s remained on the sidelines.
If you think about it, it should be the purple-clothed guards and the dragon guards who secretly made arrangements, otherwise the situation would be out of control.
You must know that Qiyang County is Lin Bingquan's old nest, and Qiyang County and several surrounding counties are vast and rich in products, and the garrison is as high as 300,000 people, Lin Bingquan's power after planning for so many years should not be underestimated.
"Lin Bingquan has already raised 100,000 private soldiers, Lin Jinpeng and his son secretly sneaked back to the capital with the 150,000 troops of Qiyang County in advance, and strongly controlled the Yiyong Bo and the 100,000 Xiaowei battalion, and Sima Chun's rebel Praetorian Guards controlled the palace, and the Jedi Palace was only obeyed by Zhang Lianwu's orders, and now the entire capital is under the control of those traitors."
"Sima Chunce rebelled against the Praetorian Guard?" Qingyun raised his eyebrows: "Situ Jingyu is the most loyal, patriotic and upright, how could the Praetorian Guard under his command be easily rebelled by Sima Chun?" Could it be that Situ Jingyu ......"
After Wukai was beheaded, the Praetorian Guards were already disciplined under the iron and bloody rule of Situ Jingyu, how could such a thing happen?
Leng Yi shook his head and said, "As early as more than four months ago, the emperor secretly ordered General Situ to return to Yanmen Pass and take full control of the Shenwu Camp and the Shenrui Camp. β
"I see." Qingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief: for Situ Jingyu's loyalty.
No wonder she didn't see Situ Jingyu when she went to inspect the Shenrui Camp and Lan Yunqi, thinking that he should be in the Shenwu Camp about a few hundred miles away from the Shenrui Camp at that time.
"Sima Chun was sick in bed waiting to die, Lin Bingquan wanted to seek the dynasty to usurp the throne, but he was strongly opposed by Lin Yutong and Zhang Lianwu, Lin Yutong resented Lin Bingquan for poisoning the emperor, and Zhang Lianwu was ambitious and intended to ascend the throne as the empress, and now the gang of traitors is fighting fiercely, this is the best time for Jiu'er to kill the traitors in one fell swoop, calm down the civil strife, and stabilize the dynasty!"
In her previous life and present life, Zhang Lianwu was willing to marry Sima Chun as a concubine, but she didn't expect to have such ambitions.
Qingyun listened to the deep eyebrows, thought for a while, and said: "It's not difficult to kill Lin Bingquan, even if we don't have conclusive evidence, just spread the news that he poisoned his father, he will have no place to stand, but Sima Chun has his father's edict of succession, if I take the liberty of waving my army to surround the capital, I am afraid that my reputation will not be right." β
Leng Yi, who was already extremely weak, was already a little physically exhausted after saying so many words, and when he heard the doubts of Qingyun, he couldn't help but have a gleam in his eyes: "Regarding this issue, Jiu'er can rest assured." β
Seeing Qingyun's puzzled expression, Leng Yi turned his eyes to look at Master Jingxin, who immediately took out a bright yellow scroll from a dark compartment and handed it to Qingyun.
Fox unfolded the scroll in his hand suspiciously, and saw the handwriting and content on it, Qingyun's face changed slightly: "This is ......"
"This is the Emperor's edict to you." As she spoke, Master Jing handed a boxy thing wrapped in bright yellow silk to Qingyun, who hurriedly reached out to take it, untied the yellow silk, looked at the jade jue carved with a flying dragon in the sky, and said in shock: "Father asked Uncle Leng to take away the jade seal of the country!" β
"The emperor didn't let me take away the jade seal of the country, but handed it over to Master Jingxin!" Leng Yi shook his head.
Qingyun was stunned: "Meditation Master? "How could my father give the heirloom jade seal to Master Jingxin?
"When the emperor sensed the intentions of those traitors, he sent Long Ying to secretly give the edict and the jade seal of the country to Master Jingxin." Leng Yi smiled and said solemnly to Qingyun: "To be exact, it is handed over to the eldest princess Sima Lanxuan, Jiu'er, you should call her 'Aunt Huang'!" β
"Eldest princess Sima Lanxuan?"
looked at Leng Yi, who had a face of encouragement and respect, and then looked at the meditative master who was full of love in her tearful eyes, Qingyun's expression was sluggish, and she subconsciously murmured, "Didn't the eldest princess die in the fire back then?" How so? "How can you live a good life and become the host of Cining Nunnery?
Slowly removing the veil covering his face, a face covered with hideous scars appeared in front of Qingyun's eyes, and the clear pupils of the meditation master, that is, the eldest princess Sima Lanxuan, were filled with light mist, with sadness and bitterness that could not be concealed, but there was no regret: "It was the imperial brother who saved me desperately!" β
Sima Lanxuan is the sister of Emperor Huiwen's mother, and is the eldest princess of the emperor's favorite.
It's a pity that in the cardamom years, I met Chu Hongxuan, the king of Chu Guoxuan, who came to the Jin Kingdom to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, and now Chu Yunyi's own uncle, Sima Lanxuan and Chu Hongxuan, who were in love for the first time, fell in love at first sight.
It's just that Chu Hongxuan already had a princess, and he couldn't bear to divorce his wife and remarry, but he loved Sima Lanxuan deeply and couldn't extricate himself, so he decided to marry Sima Lanxuan as Concubine Ping.
However, Sima Lanxuan has the strongest temperament, and she is unwilling to serve a husband with others, so she absolutely broke off her relationship with Chu Hongxuan.
I thought that this was the end of the matter, but I didn't expect that late one night half a year later, a fire broke out in the 'Zhaoyu Palace' where Sima Lanxuan was, and Sima Lanxuan, who was besieged by the raging fire, could not escape at all.
At this time, Emperor Huiwen resolutely broke into the sea of fire and rescued Sima Lanxuan, but Sima Lanxuan's face was ruined, and even the old man Tianji could not do anything.
Knowing that her face could not be restored, Sima Lanxuan ignored the dissuasion of the former emperor and Emperor Huiwen, and resolutely escaped into the empty door.
The emperor had no choice but to announce Sima Lanxuan's death to the outside world, and ceremoniously buried Sima Lanxuan's 'body' in the imperial mausoleum.
As for Chu Hongxuan, he regretted and resent when he heard the news of Sima Lanxuan's death, and he couldn't afford to be sick from then on, and died soon after.
Before he died, Chu Hongxuan told Chu Yunyi to visit Sima Lanxuan in the imperial mausoleum on his behalf every year, not to ask for Sima Lanxuan's forgiveness, but to renew his relationship with Sima Lanxuan in the next life, he will be a couple for the rest of his life, and he will never lose her again!
Later, Chu Yunyi came to the Jin Kingdom as a proton, and accidentally found that Sima Lanxuan was still alive, and he did not make a noise, but he would still keep his promise to his uncle to visit Sima Lanxuan every year.
During the whole storytelling process, Mrs. Jingxin seemed very calm, especially about the relationship with Chu Hongxuan, only when she talked about the first emperor and Emperor Huiwen, her expression was a little excited and remembrance.
"Was that fire an accident? Or is it artificial? β
After listening to what happened, Qingyun not only sighed that the meditation master was too rough in life, but admired the meditation master's too strong temperament, and was most concerned about the cause of the fire.
You must know that in her previous life, she made a mistake and finally died of the fire, which was obviously deliberately done by the villains, so she subconsciously thought that the fire was too strange.
"It's fate, whether it's accidental or artificial, or what?" The meditation master sighed softly.
Suppressing Wei Lan's thoughts, Master Jing looked at Qingyun lovingly and said, "Jiu'er, I am your imperial aunt, and even more so your own aunt!" β
Hearing that there was a deep meaning in Master Jing's words, and then thinking of the middle-aged man in the dream who was the same as his father's appearance, and his mother said that she should call him 'father', Qingyun couldn't help but think: "Uncle Leng, do you know who 'Ling Feng' is?" β
Leng Yi's expression was shocked, and he invariably glanced at Master Jingjing, and Leng Yi said cautiously: "Jiu'er, how did you know about Ling Feng?" β
"I saw him in a dream, and my mother said he was my father." Seeing the strange looks of the two of them in his eyes, the thought that had flashed in Qingyun's mind became clearer and clearer: "Uncle Leng and Aunt Huang both know him. The tone is affirmative, not questionable.
Lowering his eyes slightly, the heavy shadow was like the wings of a black butterfly, floating on Leng Yi's pale cheeks, and he raised his eyes and looked at Qingyun with a nervous face, Leng Yi sighed deeply: "Regarding your life experience, we originally planned to wait for you to tell you when you ascended the throne, but we didn't expect it...... Now, it's time to tell you, in fact, Ling Feng and I are your father's secret guards......"
After quietly listening to his life experience, Qingyun's whole person was stunned, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and two lines of tears slid silently across his cheeks.
I see! I see!
Looking at Qingyun, who looked stunned and didn't react for a long time, Leng Yi and Jingxin Shitai were extremely worried, Jingxin Shitai stepped forward and held her hand tightly, and gently comforted: "Jiu'er, don't blame them, they are also in love!" β
"Aunt Huang......" Qingyun suddenly threw herself into the arms of Master Jingxin, trembling all over, and the grief revealed in her voice made Leng Yi and Master Jingxin feel distressed and pity.
No wonder her father and Uncle Leng doted on her so much, taught her government affairs carefully since she was a child, and insisted on letting her inherit the throne, just because it was her innate responsibility and obligation.
No wonder she always has an inexplicable sense of intimacy with Mrs. Meditation, just because she and Mrs. Meditation are relatives who are connected by blood, and they are the only relatives in this world.
