Chapter Ninety-Six: Foresight

It was already evening, and Emperor Chai Rong transferred the cavalry retinue of the inner hall to prepare to return to Chenzhou first.

The siege battle, which lasted all day, gradually subsided, and the Zhou army retreated towards the outer fortifications like a tide, occasionally flying in the air with a shining tail of fire like a meteor.

Chai Rong and the others gradually moved away from Shouzhou City, and the noisy noise gradually drifted away, and after the sun went down, the night gradually opened. He looked back at the direction of Shouzhou City again, and the dark shadow towers towered in the sky, like a scar in the sky...... It's also like a piece of heart in the emperor's heart.

The emperor's gaze finally left Shouzhou City, and when he turned his head, he raised his head and sighed. The stars above have come out, and the Milky Way has spread across the vast sky...... The soup is endless. In an instant, Chai Rong was suddenly shocked by this scene inattentively, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the miracle of the heavenly gods.

Mortals, even the highest emperors, cannot control the heavenly court; But everything on the earth and the shore of the land should be controlled by the king of the world! Chai Rong felt that a certain place above his head was set against the Jianghuai Plain, and the brightest stars were Shou, Hao, Si, Chu, Chu, and Dongdu...... Chai Rong was a little distracted for a while, and his fingers gently stroked Shouzhou, Qingliuguan, Chuzhou, and Dongdu in front of his eyes...... Yangtze.

He wants to control it all, he wants it all in his dreams! In the haze, the Jin Ge Iron Horse broke through the sky, and the fierce soldiers rushed like clouds in the sky and roared. A rushing herd of horses, they set foot on Shouzhou, broke through the Qingliu Pass and entered to occupy Chuzhou, broke through the Jiangdu Mansion, and drank the Yangtze River...... The mountains and rivers are divided, the power is surging between the Jianghuai and the Huai, and thousands of troops and horses are swept away, cleansing all those who do not submit to the power of the king.

Chai Rong wants to surpass all the emperors from ancient times to the present, not only to complete the great cause of Qin Shi Huang's general unification of the world, but also to let the people of the whole world live and work in peace and contentment, govern at night without closing their doors and leaving no stone unturned, and integrate the advantages of the first emperor and Tang Taizong; Thousands of generations of Chinese people will praise his good name year after year, and thank him for the grace and glory he brings! In the whole world that belongs to him, what he wants to change, what to create, and what to destroy only needs one sentence, he is the king here, and the whole world is his territory!

Chai Rong couldn't wait, closed his eyes, and wished that as soon as he opened his eyes, someone would tell him that Huainan had been served.

Break the situation in a straight line from the middle road and reach the Yangtze River; The strategy of splitting first and then sweeping. Chai Rong thought about it again and again and felt that there was nothing wrong, and then he made a decision, Shouzhou could not be attacked, but it could not hinder the rapid implementation of the strategy!

"Wang Xianqi." Chai Rong reined in his horse.

A military general in front hurriedly turned around, got off the horse and knelt on one knee: "The minister is here!" ”

"Pen." Chai Rong stretched out his hand, and the eunuch next to him hurriedly found a used brush, hurriedly licked it on his tongue and put it in Chai Rong's palm. Chai Rong asked Wang Xianqi to stretch out his left hand, wrote the word "Chu" on the back of his hand, and said: "You don't have to go to Chenzhou with me, immediately rush to the vortex, and order Zhao Kuangyin to receive the order and immediately lead the iron cavalry to attack Qingliu Pass and sweep away the enemy on the periphery of Chuzhou." ”

"Minister, Commander!" Wang Xianqi carefully withdrew his hand and shouted loudly.

Chai Rong continued to travel overnight, planning to return to the front as soon as possible after visiting the empress in Chenzhou.

No one can stop the big things in his heart! Once his wife died, his son died, his daughter died, all died tragically, and the whole family died, but none of this could make Chai Rong fall into sadness, and he couldn't let him give up the great ambition in his heart in depression.

He felt that it was good enough for the queen, she wanted to come by herself, but she fell ill when she walked to Chenzhou, who could blame her; And now it's a critical juncture on the front line. Even at this time, I rushed to see her overnight...... I hope that the Empress will understand the Emperor's kindness to her and what she has done for her, and that she will be able to return to Tokyo with peace of mind and die a dignified and honorable life in the Imperial Palace.

Chai Rong still had some sadness in her heart, but then she thought: She almost lost her life in Li Shouzhen's mansion back then, and now as a queen, she has the highest honor, and she has no regrets in her life.

A whole army guarded the emperor, and everyone rode on horseback, but they didn't dare to run too fast on the night road, and slowly marched towards Chenzhou. It wasn't until the next morning that everyone arrived in Chenzhou.

Chai Rong couldn't take a break, so he knelt down under the thorn Shi himself, washed his face, and rushed to the requisitioned mansion to see the Fu family. The imperial doctors and palace people on duty inside and outside the courtyard had heard that the emperor had arrived, and knelt in a long row at the door to greet them.

"Flat." Chai Rong was still wearing armor, and he ignored the gang as soon as he waved his hand and said a word, and he didn't talk to the imperial doctor.

Chai Rong walked straight into the bedroom, and the palace maids knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "The emperor's holy life is boundless." After a while, a middle-aged palace woman said softly: "Niangniang, the emperor personally rushed back from Huainan to see you." ”

"Hmm." I didn't expect Fu to hear it and answer it. It didn't seem to have reached the point where the eunuch said, 'There is only the last breath left', but when Chai Rong stepped forward to look at it, he felt that it was almost the same. Fu's face has lost a lot of weight, his skin is dull, and he is no longer bloodless, and his days are indeed short.

Chai Rong waved his hand: "Stand down." ”

The middle-aged palace maid hurriedly withdrew from the bedroom with a group of serving palace maids.

……

"Official." Fu Shi finally stretched out her hand from the quilt, and suddenly felt held by a pair of rough hands, these hands felt so strange, why did she know him for a few years and still be so strange, but her heart was immediately warm, and her emotions were slightly excited, "I ......"

Chai Rong put his head close to her face and said kindly, "What do you have to say to me?" Take it easy. ”

Fu said: "I ...... If you don't want to die, the official family will save me. ”

Chai Rong frowned slightly, and said: "Empress, if you have any wishes, what do you have to explain, tell me, I will do my best for me." ”

Fu Shi opened his eyes slightly, looked at it in a daze, his eyes were blank, and he spoke weakly, and his voice was as small as the sound of a mosquito flapping its wings: "I don't have ...... What a wish, that is...... Don't want to die ......"

Chai Rong persuaded: "Look a little away." ”

Fu Shi whispered: "The one who died is not you, of course you can see it, I can't see it......"

Chai Rong was a little angry when he heard this, humanity is a human being, and her words are good, how can she curse to death? He couldn't help it, this time was not something to do for such a dying person.

He no longer asked the Fu family what her wishes were, feeling that she was already confused, and said directly: "You can rest assured, the Fu family will not have any impact, and my favor to Taifu (Fu Yanqing) will not be reduced." I have consulted with the courtiers that I will remarry your sister, so that the Taifu and his brothers and sons in charge of the army will be trusted as they will always be. ”

Originally, Chai Rong was out of kindness. In this era, the interests of the family are above all else, and he personally told the Fu family these things in order to reassure her that even if she is gone, everything that the Fu family has obtained will continue without any risk.

But when Fu Shi heard this, he was even more sad in his heart, and said angrily: "It turns out that you really planned to marry my sister a long time ago......"

Chai Rong said: "You don't want me to do this? ”

Fu's eyes were dry, otherwise he would be so sad that he would cry now, "I'm so scared, it's so dark ahead...... I am only twenty-five years old, why did I die, and what am I guilty of? ”

Chai Rong said: "Where is the queen guilty? If it is sinful, I will forgive you. ”

Fu shook his head and sighed faintly. In the past, Li Shouzhen's whole family died, and she lived alone, and Fu Yanqing said that she was guilty and should become a monk and cultivate and atone for her sins. But Fu has never been at fault with herself, but God doesn't think so, does she have to die to be satisfied? She is very unconvinced and unwilling, her life is so good, she has everything...... There are still many things in life that we have not enjoyed enough, and we have not enjoyed them all.

She muttered intermittently, "Official, have you never cared about me...... It's all in accordance with the will of the emperor......"

Chai Rong was silent. After a while, he suddenly remembered the situation when his most respected adoptive father died, and said thoughtfully: "When the first emperor died, he told me that the queen was there, and he could protect the Great Zhou in the future...... But I was a little disappointed by Fu Taifu's performance in Jinyang, and Fu Taifu was very old...... Or did the emperor have more far-reaching considerations? ”

Fu suddenly felt like a chess piece, although she had no spirit, it was easy for her to think: If the official family died before herself, Zhou Taizu's consideration was here?

Chai Rong said again: "But the matter has come to this, I can only marry the second daughter of the Fu family as the queen, and I will continue to respect the last wish of the emperor in desperation." ”

Fu whispered: "I am me, and my sister is my sister......"

Chai Rong seemed very unhappy when he heard this, and he couldn't help but say: "Your sister should be more suitable for the queen than you, you can go with peace of mind, I will bury you." ”

Fu Shi said quietly: "Didn't the minister say...... Don't you mourn? ”

Chai Rong was stunned, and then said coldly: "It must be that official eunuch who is talkative!" ”

In Fu's parched eyes, a tear seeped out of his socket, slipped from the corner of his eye, ran down his cheek and disappeared, leaving no trace.

Chai Rong said again: "This country wants a monarch and a queen. You come from a big family, I thought you understood that. Whether I treat you as a wife or not doesn't matter at all compared to such a big thing. I'm not the lustful and faint gentleman of the Lulong Liu family, and I won't give a respectful name to a woman just to pamper her. If you don't have any wishes, I'm leaving. ”

Fu Shi didn't speak, and she didn't pay attention, her heart was cold.

Perhaps, after a few years, the country will be rich and peaceful, and people will sing and dance and enjoy the joy of prosperity. Kings and ministers will be respected by people and leave their names in history...... What a prospect. But what does all this have to do with yourself? There is also the Huainan War that the officials are anxious about, what does the victory or defeat have to do with themselves?

Where do people go when they die? Will there be a netherworld, or will you close your eyes and you won't know anything?
