Chapter 378: The Past of the Queen Mother and King Yanbei
The next day, Qiu Zhiguang came to the palace very early to meet Wei Xuanyun, and Wei Xuanyun and Lan Xuan'er walked to the outer hall together.
Wei Xuanyun was puzzled, "Why are you here, I promised you that I won't break my word." I won't send anyone against you again, don't worry. ”
Qiu Zhiguang hurriedly knelt on the ground again, "Your Majesty, the minister was deceived by traitors before, and he knew that he had followed the wrong person and done the wrong thing, but the minister had already handed over all the evidence of the crime to show his determination, and the minister Qiu Zhiguang was willing to submit to the emperor, and he would not hesitate to do so." ”
Lan Xuan'er poured two cups of tea, one to Wei Xuanyun and one to Qiu Zhiguang, "Why should we believe you?" gave you trust, and when you bite us back, we will be helpless. ”
Qiu Zhiguang took the cup of tea and drank it all, "Just because I am Xie Dongxiao's person, he originally asked me to come here to collude with the court officials so that their plan can succeed." ”
Wei Xuanyun nodded, "Okay, if what you say is half a lie, I won't let you go." ”
Qiu nodded lightly. He soon left.
Yanbei Palace.
"Well, if they betrayed me, I won't let them go. The insults he received today, Lao Tzu will remember them clearly. King Yanbei was furious and wanted to kill Qiu Zhiguang now.
"Someone, be sure to find Qiu Zhiguang, and kill him for me. If you can't see his head, bring it to you. "The subordinates ordered by King Yanbei are the secret guards he has cultivated over the years, and the original guards in the palace have long been disbanded.
At the same time, the Royal Palace.
The Queen Mother came to Wei Xuanyun worriedly, and said hesitantly, "After all, he is your imperial uncle, and it is too unkind for you to do this." ”
Wei Xuanyun shook his head, "I have to think about the people, what is the difference between him and betraying the country?" ”
The Queen Mother frowned, "It's just a party and a private business, killing a few court officials, how can it be said that you are betraying the country?" You can't declare a personal vendetta! ”
"I don't have any personal enmity with him, it's just that Nan Yu'er and Xiaoxiao met privately and were seen by Wan'er, so I dealt with him, not to mention that he was my imperial uncle and had a special identity. It's just a deprivation of the title. ”
"Is there really no room for negotiation in this matter? He is an elder after all. The Queen Mother is still planning to persuade Wei Xuanyun.
Just when Wei Xuanyun was about to say no again, Lan Xuan'er came and interrupted Wei Xuanyun's words, "Queen Mother, we will think about this matter again, it's not early, and the Queen Mother is also tired, go back and rest early, I will persuade Xuanyun." ”
The Queen Mother was helpless, and when she heard Lan Xuan'er's words, she had to turn around and leave.
Lan Xuan'er looked at Wei Xuanyun, "Don't refuse this matter first, I always feel that the Queen Mother, there is something wrong with being so attentive." ”
Wei Xuanyun nodded.
Sure enough, in the evening, the queen mother came to Lan Xuan'er, "You must help the mourning family persuade the emperor, after all, King Yanbei is an elder, and doing so will inevitably chill people's hearts." ”
"But Xuanyun is your child. If King Yanbei really did those irreparable things, the queen mother must also understand this truth. ”
But the king of Yanbei ......, "The queen mother is struggling."
"Queen Mother, don't you have any relationship with him?" Lan Xuan'er said guessingly.
The Queen Mother's preface did not match the afterword, "No, the mourning family is just ...... It was not early, so the mourning family went back first. ”
Lan Wan'er was puzzled and watched the Queen Mother leave.
The next day, Qinglian came to visit Lan Wan'er with a food box.
"Why did you remember to come to see me today?" Lan Wan'er took the food box and asked with a smile.
Qinglian also smiled, "I can't meet a few confidants in this palace, and I can only bother you here if I am bored." ”
"Also, things have been weird lately."
"What's wrong? Hasn't King Yanbei already received a punishment? Qinglian asked.
"Yes, but the queen mother has always persuaded the emperor to let him go, and the people who are hesitant refuse to tell the reason, and have always emphasized that the elders can't chill people's hearts. I thought it was weird. ”
Qinglian frowned, "I think I should know why the Queen Mother persuaded you to let him go." The Queen Mother was a childhood sweetheart with him before, and the two had a deep relationship. It's just that because of the walls of this palace, they have not been able to stay together. ”
"What? How did you find out that there was such a reason? ”
Qinglian shook her head, "The old people know about this matter, and I only learned about it from my aunt." ”
Qinglian and Lan Wan'er exchanged pleasantries for a while and left.
In the evening, Lan Xuan'er came to the dormitory.
"Xuanyun, I think you should be lenient with King Yanbei. I heard Qinglian say today that the queen mother and Yanbei Wang were childhood sweethearts, and the two had no guesses. If you take the liberty to convict King Yanbei in this way, I am afraid that the mother and son will be separated, and it will not end well at that time. ”
Wei Xuanyun shook her head, "Wan'er." I have my own decision on this matter, and you don't have to care what the queen mother says about us. ”
At the same time, the Yanbei Palace.
King Yanbei wrote a letter and sent someone to Xie Dongxiao of the Snow Dragon Kingdom. He was not willing to be like this, he had to find a way to make a comeback. He himself has a very strong network of forces, since he can't come in the dark, then put it on the table to decide this openly!
Snow Dragon Country.
Xie Dongxiao received a secret letter: immediately send troops to attack Fengwu Kingdom, and after the matter is completed, he will be thanked with four cities.
Above the court of the Snow Dragon Kingdom.
Xie Dongxiao spoke, "Playing the emperor, the ministers have the right to play." The current king of Yanbei in the Fengwu Kingdom has been cut off most of his power. The Fengwu Kingdom is also in decline, and this is a good time for us to attack them. I also ask Your Majesty to allow your ministers to lead troops into battle. Win a good country for our country. ”
The monarch of the Snow Dragon Kingdom naturally understood his intentions, and would not let the war between the two countries start again, causing the people of the two countries to complain again and again, so they had to take the lead in taking the lead. "But after all, we are their vassal state, and it is not reasonable to send troops in such a hurry. What's more, we don't know if they are really in decline. I'll talk about it later. ”
Xie Dongxiao wanted to defend again, but after thinking about it, he shut up.
After retreating from the dynasty, Xie Dongxiao secretly arranged and sorted out his army and forces, preparing to attack Fengwu directly.
The war between the two countries soon ignited the fuse. Imminent.
Above the court hall of Fengwu Kingdom.
"The minister has made mistakes before, and he is willing to accept the punishment. This time, please let the minister lead the troops to resist the Snow Dragon Kingdom. In order to show the loyalty of the ministers and the heart of meritorious service. The person who said this was the king of Yanbei.
The ministers in the audience looked at each other and discussed a lot, all thinking about what Wei Xuanyun would say.
Wei Xuanyun nodded, as if thinking about something, "Okay, Uncle Huang can not blame me in the past, but this war is very important, Uncle Huang must not let me down." ”
In the evening. Wei Xuanyun called Du Wenyun, "You and the people of the Purple Jade Pavilion cooperate with each other in this battle. Make sure they lose both. I have given you many missions, and I trust in your abilities. ”
Du Wencheng quickly left.
On the battlefield, Xie Dongxiao and King Yanbei competed against each other, and no one wanted to let anyone. But they all knew in their hearts that it was just a show for that person. In the first battle, Xie Dongxiao's men won.
Late at night, Xie Dongxiao secretly met with King Yanbei.
"When are we going to send our troops to attack Fengwu Kingdom with him?" Xie Dongxiao asked.
"It's just that the forces in his hands now should not be underestimated, I must pretend to fail first, let him use this to send troops, and when he has insufficient troops, we can annihilate in one fell swoop and get what we each want."
"Okay, yes, just follow this plan." Xie Dongxiao nodded.
The two of them left soon after discussing the plan, not noticing Du Wen, who had been observing them in the dark.
But the next day, when the two sides went to war, something happened that surprised both sides. The general sent by Xie Dongxiao was killed by the other party's men. "What? Who killed it? Do you see clearly? ”
"The man said that he was a subordinate of King Yanbei, and said that everything he is doing now is just to deceive you, and laughed...... Also laugh at the general, you are stupid. ”
"What? He actually lied to me! Okay, good...... Very good. How dare you lie to me! ”
He didn't expect that King Yanbei would become Wei Xuanyun's person, and he also played a trick for himself.
Xie Dongxiao immediately began to seriously confront the two sides of Yanbei Wang.
King Yanbei also received the news of Xie Dongxiao's betrayal of him, and the war between the two was about to break out, and the battlefield was full of fire. There was killing everywhere, red blood almost staining the battlefield, it was the loneliness of two men who had lost their lives, their pride, their betrayal, and all their hard work.
Not surprisingly, both sides suffered heavy losses, and most of their forces were scattered, and even if they were unwilling, they could only retreat to the camp. Recuperate.
And far on the other side is the Fengwu Kingdom Palace.
Wei Xuanyun has been preparing for a long time, tomorrow is Wan'er's birthday, but he doesn't know what gift to give Wan'er. He cherishes the people who have always been by his side, Lan Wan'er has long become an indispensable part of his life, if his heart is only the size of his fist, then Lan Wan'er is the beauty that he does not want to stretch out his palm until he dies.
Wei Xuanyun thought about the surprise for Lan Xuan'er tomorrow, and unconsciously laughed.
The next day, Lan Wan'er woke up and saw a maid in red who had brought her a set of clothes that was completely different from her usual dressing style. It was bright red, and the clothes were embroidered with a delicate pattern of gold threads, and they were all red inside and out. ”
Lan Wan'er had no choice but to put it on, not understanding why she suddenly wore such a strange dress.
Just when Lan Wan'er was about to leave the palace and go to the hospital, a guard in red asked Lan Wan'er to go to the lake.
"By the lake? Who's looking for me? Is it Xuanyun? Lan Wan'er was puzzled.
"I'll know when I go."
Lan Xuan'er walked all the way, and everyone she saw was wearing red clothes, what happened today.
When they came to the lake, they were all palace maids dressed in red, each holding a bouquet of lotus flowers in their hands.
