Chapter 444: The Wounded Beast

Jiangning Imperial Palace. Li Yu's face was flushed with a sickly flush: "Ants! Ant ......" said as he reached out and scratched around on his back and arms.

Emperor Zhou E on the side was so anxious that he was at a loss, "Where did the ants come from in winter?" Is my husband sick, I'll call Yushi. ”

Li Yu didn't seem to be listening to what Zhou Ehuang said, and he muttered vigorously: "There are a lot of ants, and the Jiangyin defense envoy is an ant!" Who told him to use troops without permission, and who gave him the right to fight? There is also Zhu Lingyun, the envoy of Zhennan Jiedu, how many times have he urged reinforcements, where are his soldiers? The people and horses of Hongdu (Nanchang) and Hukou are not from the imperial court, but his Zhu Lingyun's private soldiers, and I can't even move them......"

"Husband......" Emperor Zhou E was very distressed when he saw him, and he thought about how to comfort him. She understood that it was useless to find an imperial doctor, and Li Yu was obviously suffering from heart disease.

Li Yu didn't wait for Emperor Zhou E to speak, and shook his head and lamented: "There is also a sailor in Jingkou, will he go to King Qin, the capital of the country?" He paced a few steps impatiently, "Liu Cheng is still very loyal......"

Li Yu finally said that he was tired, and Emperor Zhou E had a chance to speak. She was already proficient in music, and with full sympathy and gentleness, as soon as she opened her mouth, her voice alone seemed to make people's hearts warm/soften, "Husband, don't be in such a hurry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, maybe one day we will look back, power and wealth are nothing more than that, it is not worth asking." ”

"Emperor E was born in a wealthy family and does not understand the suffering of the world." Li Yu looked a little calmer, and a coldness appeared on his sad face, "Do you think it's really that easy to survive?" ”

Emperor Zhou E asked softly, "Wasn't the husband born in the emperor's family?" ”

Li Yu lowered his face and said fiercely: "That's why I can't bear the humiliation!" ”

Zhou Ehuang was stunned for a moment, as if she saw a wounded beast struggling, which made people a little frightened, but showed the power that could put pressure on people...... Li Yu is a king after all, and he still has the aura of a big man.

Maybe it's hard to get him to accept the inevitable defeat right away, and you need to give him time. Later, when his anger gradually subsided, he could understand that landscape poetry was what he had, and the tenderness of guarding was much more interesting than fighting for power and profit.

Zhou Ehuang changed her previous depression because she finally understood what she wanted. Maybe something has left a rift and been tainted by the troubled times, but as long as you relax, you can still accept it...... It's like an expensive and beautiful garment, although it gets stained at a noisy and tacky party, it is still a valuable garment.

She turned her head and saw the sunlight seeping through the carved windows into the palace, as if to dispel the musty smell of the place, and even the dancing dust in the light seemed lively and unpleasant.

At this moment, Li Yu's voice intended this tranquility, "The Southern Tang Kingdom is too weak in national strength, and it will be destroyed by internal strife!" And Zhou Guo didn't give me a chance to clean up the mess, the army pressed the border, and the original shortcomings were stimulated. ”

Emperor Zhou E said: "So the people of the country will not blame you, and you can't stand alone because of the accumulation of evils." ”

"But I will still be considered the king of the dead/kingdom." Li Yu shook his head painfully.

Emperor Zhou E held Li Yu's palm tightly, wanting to suffer from such pressure with him.

At this time, a eunuch walked to the door, bowed and stood there without leaving, as if something was wrong. Li Yu then walked out, and the eunuch took out something and held it in both hands, and then bent down and whispered something. The eunuch's voice was too quiet, and he stood outside the door, and Emperor Zhou E didn't hear what he was talking about, only heard the sound of "muttering".

Emperor Zhou E waited for him to leave the door, then followed him to the door, and softly stretched out his jade hand to gently hold the door frame. Seeing that Li Yu was already sitting next to the table, he was writing with a pen, and his posture was very elegant when he held the pen, and Zhou Ehuang seemed to smell a fragrance of ink. He frowned, a gloomy look on his face, and he was worried about national affairs.

Li Yu was concentrated, and when he dipped in ink, he didn't notice it dripping on the table; Emperor Zhou E immediately noticed that as a woman, she could see the most detailed things. She walked forward, and the swaying of her waist in a few steps was also quite graceful.

She took out a white handkerchief from her sleeve pocket, rubbed it on the table next to the inkstone, and put it in front of her nose to smell it. The ink fragrance, with a quaint scent, is completely different from the shallow smell of rouge pollen. The ink on the handkerchief has not yet dried, when she put it in front of the jade nose and smelled it, it was stained on the tip of the nose, she felt a slight itch on the tip of the nose, so she reached out and wiped it, and suddenly a black ink stain appeared on the nose, which was very abrupt on the jade white skin.

At this moment, Li Yu raised his head and glanced at her, his eyes showing a hint of surprise, but his brows still did not stretch.

"I ...... You ......" Li Yu suddenly swallowed and vomited.

Emperor Zhou E hurriedly collected his mind and asked softly, "Does the husband have anything to say to me?" ”

"Emperor E, what do you think of me to you?" Li Yu lowered his head.

Emperor Zhou E felt that his words were a little strange, so he replied calmly: "The husband gathers thousands of favors on the concubine. ”

Li Yu nodded: "If you want to save me, are you willing to do something for me...... Something hard to do. ”

"What kind of thing?" Zhou Ehuang's expression became serious because Li Yu looked heavy.

Li Yu suddenly burst into tears, shook his head vigorously and said: "If the country is destroyed, I will not only be humiliated in life, but I will also be ashamed for ten thousand years after death!" What to do, what to do? The main force of the Zhou Dynasty, Keri, was about to come to the city, and the sails on the river were approaching step by step, and Wu Yueguo, who had a grudge, fell into the well and took advantage of the fire to rob...... They pressed day after day, and the situation got worse and worse, and I was almost out of breath! ”

Li Yu's face was painful, and Emperor Zhou E's heart softened, and he hurriedly said: "Husband, think more about it." What can I do for you, a woman...... Only I can do it. ”

"Kill Blacksmith Guo!" Li Yu said this sentence violently.

"What?" Emperor Zhou E was stunned, and stood there for a long time without coming back to his senses. But the intuition seemed to realize something, and a heart immediately fell from the place of surprise into the ice cave.

Even the sunlight outside the window seemed to turn pale in an instant.

Li Yu said: "After the death of the first monarch of the Zhou State, the old road that was supposed to be reincarnated in the turmoil in the Central Plains actually took place; However, Guo Shao's existence stabilized the situation, and Zhou was able to fight in the north and south after a short period of time. This Guo Shao is an ingenious existence, not only has he established prestige in the army, but he is also the brother-in-law of the Empress Dowager of Zhou, and he is the link that maintains the forces of all parties in Tokyo.

As soon as this person died, the Zhou State would inevitably fall into infighting, and each force would be in a hurry to find its own opportunities and positions first, and would definitely have no intention of fighting in Jiangnan. Kill Guo Shao, this is our only way! ”

Emperor Zhou E's face was miserable and said: "The king must have been forced into a trance in his heart, so he thought like this. ”

Li Yu said: "No, I didn't think about this matter for a day or two, it seems ridiculous at first glance, but it is really a way!" ”

Emperor Zhou E kept shaking his head: "The ministers will never allow such a thing." ”

Li Yu said coldly: "What do you care about them? Those people only care about their own glory and wealth, and they wish that the people of Zhou Guo would come in as soon as possible, so that they can sell my head for a good price! There is no need for the courtiers to know about this. When the time comes, I will send an envoy to the Zhou army camp to negotiate peace, and by the way, I will send some courtesans to Guo Shao, and you can go to see him inside...... During the Battle of Huainan that year, his father also sent concubines to Guo Rong, which was not something that could not be done.

I want to beg you, because it may be difficult for ordinary courtesans to approach Guo Shao, and only Emperor E can. ”

When Emperor Zhou E heard this, he pondered that Li Yu said that it was not a day or two to consider this matter, and remembered that Sister Zhou was taken to the palace not long ago...... In this kind of chaos when the country is about to be broken, the palace is even more dangerous, why did Li Yu suddenly take the initiative to bring Sister Tuesday in at this time, is it a hostage who is both soft and hard, premeditated?

And she had previously imagined that she would love landscape poetry with Li Yu after the death of the country...... She burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at, what's so funny?" Li Yu frowned and asked.

Emperor Zhou E shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I laugh at myself, it's so ridiculous!" Suddenly I felt ridiculous like a three-year-old child......"

Li Yu grabbed Zhou Ehuang's slender hand, and said softly: "I beg you, you help me!" ”

Emperor Zhou E said: "The king is also ridiculous, we are the laughing stock...... I've grown so big, I haven't even killed a chicken, and I don't touch the spring water with my fingers, you told me to assassinate a strong martial artist? ”

Li Yu said: "If you want to kill someone, you don't have to be strong, you have a chance." ”

Emperor Zhou E said: "I can't be a killer, no matter what kind of person he is." ”

"This is really a problem, I've thought about it too......" Li Yu pondered for a moment, then glanced at Emperor Zhou E, "Are you willing to kill him?" ”

Emperor Zhou E didn't say a word.

Li Yu said: "Emperor E was originally the queen, Guo Shao led troops into the Kou, not only will take away everything from me, but also from Emperor E's everything!" Think about it, if you are captured, what kind of situation will you have, willing to be reduced from the queen to a concubine and plaything of a martial artist...... The world and future generations will definitely laugh at Emperor E for a thousand years! ”

Emperor Zhou E finally spoke: "I really hate him. ”

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "If Diao Chan excludes Dong Zhuo, Emperor E is doing this for the country." If it is done, you will still be the queen of the Southern Tang Kingdom, and you will be the benefactor of the Southern Tang Kingdom...... You can rest assured, the second sister and everyone in the Zhou family are under my care. ”

"Hey!" Emperor Zhou E sighed faintly.

Li Yu said: "I will bring a secret letter to Guo Shao, implying that Emperor E is among the courtesans, so as not to be ignored by him." Extrapolating, Emperor E will definitely be able to see him, and he will also have the opportunity. ”

Emperor Zhou E said coldly: "The king said that he couldn't bear the humiliation, but you sent your queen to the camp of the enemy country, don't you think it's humiliating?" ”

Li Yu said: "After the death of the country, such humiliation must be suffered, and more must be suffered!" He pondered for a moment, and then said, "Now Emperor E will go with me to meet someone." ”
