Chapter 270: General Li meets Emperor Gao
Seeing Le Chang's back disappear outside the door of the imperial study, Chen Ji shook his head gently, turned around and put down the battle report, and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty agreed to the girl's request?" A figure turned from behind the screen, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, it was Chen Ji's wife, Liu Jingyan, the queen of Southern Chen.
Queen Liu was born in the famous Hedong Liu family, beautiful appearance, knowledgeable not to mention, as a lady has received a good education since childhood, modest and respectful without losing style, the harem is well organized, so it is quite respected by Chen Ji, the husband and wife are affectionate, and they have not changed so far.
Liu Jingyan waved his hand and asked the eunuch behind him to put the soup pot on the table, and without waiting for Chen Ji to answer, he said first: "Your Majesty has been guarding the imperial study these days, and everyone is a little haggard, and the concubine specially asked the black chicken soup cooked in the imperial dining room to be sent to Your Majesty." ”
Chen Ji bowed slightly, but his eyes were not far from the figure that had disappeared: "This girl has been in my imperial study for many days, if you want to say that this request is a whim, it is definitely impossible, whether she really wants to visit or who she has in mind, I can't refuse, so I just let her go." ”
After a pause, Chen Ji shook his head helplessly: "What's more, the prince is lazy by nature and has always disliked dealing with civil and military officials, while Lechang has a gentle temperament and has always considered things thoroughly, and with her by the prince's side, I feel more at ease······
"You," Liu Jingyan couldn't help but sneer, at this time in her eyes, it was obvious that Chen Ji was her husband, not the emperor of Da Chen, "It's just that you spoil these girls too much, if they have a request, you will respond." ”
Chen Ji spread his hands helplessly: "The queen doesn't know, I don't know if I have fallen into some evil spell in my life, the daughters born here are all smart and pleasant, but the sons born have never been worry-free." ”
Liu Jingyan frowned slightly, stretched out his hand, and asked the surrounding eunuchs and maids to retreat. And Chen Ji said to himself: "Queen, say something that shouldn't be said, if Le'er is a man, then I have to hand over this country to her." ”
"Your Majesty······" Liu Jingyan wanted to say something, but he stopped. When the crown prince Chen Shubao was her child, at least now Lechang is a daughter, there is only good and no harm to Liu Jingyan.
"Now I vaguely hope that Le'er can catch a golden beetle son-in-law for me, and when I become ancient, at least someone will be able to assist the prince. Otherwise, I don't know who will fall into this country. Chen Ji squinted slightly, looking at the map of the world hanging on the wall that he was familiar with.
It's really a good country, but I don't know when I won't be surnamed "Chen".
Liu Jingyan wanted to speak for a while, if this was said by anyone else, she would inevitably ask Liu to raise her eyebrows and scold, but this came from Chen Ji's mouth, which made Liu Jingyan not know how to respond, so she could only say:
"Your Majesty is worried about ······"
Chen Ji smiled to himself and waved his hand, obviously not planning to continue on this topic: "I hope it's just my cranky thoughts······"
Liu Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and couldn't help reproaching: "Your Majesty has been thinking about something all day, what is ancient, what has no successor, in the eyes of the concubines, Your Majesty is not a little anxious, it is better to rest for a few days." Although the world is big, if you don't have a good body, you can't manage it. ”
"Don't worry, Queen." Chen Ji said with a smile, "I was handsome in the first half of my life, and I sat in charge of the world in the second half of my life, and I can still say that I know myself. I want to thank the queen for this soup, if the queen is fine, you can go back to rest first, and when I finish processing these chapters, I will go to the harem to find the queen, and you and I will go to the back garden of the palace to relax······ Now that the battle on the front line has been won, I can breathe a sigh of relief. ”
Liu Jingyan smiled and saluted and retired. But Chen Ji did not review the folds as he said, but sat quietly on the dragon chair, stretched out his hand to support his chin and looked at the map that could be said to be familiar to him. Jiangling and Huainan, these regrets left by the previous generation have been resolved, and where should Da Chen's soldiers point next?
Is he already old enough to control an increasingly large dynasty, and can he withstand the impact of defeat?
In an instant, Chen Ji thought of Chen Baxian twenty years ago, the male lord who rose step by step from Lingnan and broke the entire dynasty, I don't know what to do in the face of this situation? Will he be honestly frightened and indecided?
"Make General Li meet Emperor Gao······" Chen Ji muttered and repeated, smiling bitterly, whether this Li Xinchen, who suddenly emitted light, was the General Li of Da Chen, Chen Ji didn't know, but he knew very well, I am afraid that he is not the Emperor Gao······
————————————————-
A touch of the slanting sun sprinkled on the grass, and there was silence above the wilderness.
The wind swept through the soldiers' armor, and figures stood on both sides of the road that had been forcibly carved out, spears and spears raised and soared into the sky.
The mountains are smeared with slight clouds, the sky is even declining grass, and there is more irrepressible murderous aura in the silence.
A flag dances at the end of the road, and on the flag is not the character "Chen" for Nan Chen, but the character "Li" for Li Xinchen. When Pei Zilie or Xiao Shilian led the army, this flag did not have a chance to be displayed, starting from Baling to Zhangshan, and only at the end of the whole journey was given time for this flag to dance.
But it was this time that decided the entire Gangneung battle situation.
In the tragic battle of Zhangshan Defense, this banner was proudly fluttering at the head of the city from beginning to end, and all the soldiers followed this banner closely from beginning to end to fight bravely and swore not to retreat. Although it was covered in wounds and even blood, the moment it was raised at the end of the road, there was only pure respect in all the eyes that looked at it.
And underneath the flags, the small mounds of earth that are slightly raised are not very conspicuous, and if it were not for the wooden signs planted in front of these mounds, I am afraid that no one would have thought that this is a cemetery.
Just west of Zhangshan City, at the foot of Jingshan Mountain, all the soldiers of Nan Chen who died in battle were properly buried, sleeping forever on this land where they once threw their heads and spilled their blood, looking south at their hometown that they could not go back to, and looking north at the back of Brother Pao Ze continuing to advance.
It is precisely because the soldiers buried here are all soldiers who died in the Battle of Zhangshan, so only Li Xinchen's general flag is qualified to fly on their graves, so that they can take another look at the flag that they once followed without regrets during their lifetime.
Li Xinchen stood quietly beside the banner, neither Pei Zilie nor Xiao Shilian competed with him for this position, because they knew that in everyone's hearts, this glory could only belong to Li Xinchen, the young general who led them to struggle out of the Ghost Gate, and the flying general who led them to create miracles.
