Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Flame of Vengeance

The Empress Dowager Huayang took the gift presented by Yun Yuejing in her hand and looked at it repeatedly, and it was already half an hour old and she had no intention of putting it down. This is really the sentence that I can't put down!

A crystal hairpin is inlaid with sterling silver flowers and is bordered by a layer of gilded brushed trim. Shining in the sun, the silver peony flowers inside the crystal seem to come to life. Especially the brushing process that has not been done in these years, the smooth shape makes it look so comfortable. I don't want to put it down when I get it in my hands!

The Empress Dowager Huayang is also a woman, a woman in her thirties who loves beauty. How can you not love seeing such jewelry, I didn't see little stars in Qin Qing's eyes next to him.

Yun Yue lowered her head and tried to make a deferential appearance, she must respect the current boss before she became a big guy. Yun Yue thought that this sentence was very reasonable, and those who didn't believe it were probably pulled out and fed to the dogs.

Looking at the custom-made hairpin, Yun Yue remembered Xiaojing. This is specially found by a famous silversmith in Tibet, and there is absolutely no mass production of private customization. There is no way, for the sake of Chu Dayong's life, he can only endure the pain and cut his love. When you go back, you must kick that kid a few more times to relieve your distress.

The Empress Dowager Huayang is definitely a master who has seen the world, and the general gold, silver and jewelry are like dung in her eyes, and the peerless treasures paid by the six countries in the treasury have gone to the sea. But this hairpin is very different, and the jewelry in the warehouse is a world of difference compared to this one.

"Yun Yue, this thing you gave is even the heart of the mourning family. What happened again! Last time, the king wanted to cut off your head, but I didn't see you take it out. Let's talk about it first, the mourning family can't help you if you violate the laws of Great Qin. Great Qin established the country according to law. It's not like a mourner can interject about anything. ”

Yun Yue scolded secretly in her heart when she heard this. His mother also established the country according to the law. Sit upright on top of you. You said that you want to build a society with a legal system. Your nephews, grandchildren, or whatever, have to go in first. They all came out to mix, and they pretended to be a big-tailed wolf with Lao Tzu.

"Empress Dowager Qi, Yun Yue captured some war horses some time ago. Send a subordinate to Xianyang to sell, and then buy some cloth and grain back to Pingliang for military needs. Unexpectedly, this killing actually shot the nephew of Lord Xiangbang because of some trivial matters.

Lord Xiangbang sent someone to ask for someone from his subordinates, but the man had already fled. How can subordinates hand over people? Lord Xiangbang arrested Weichen's unsuspecting brother-in-law, saying that if he didn't hand over the murderer, he would kill my brother-in-law and sacrifice for Prince Ping.

Dowager. Lord Xiangbang is expensive as Xiangbang. The non-punishment of people who are executed is a violation of the laws of the Great Qin. Poor Weichen's righteous brother is still locked up in a prison cell, and he doesn't know how much suffering he has suffered and how many sins he has suffered. Please also ask the Queen Mother to help save Weichen's brother-in-law! Yun Yue choked up as she spoke, and then burst into tears like rain of tears and looked like a bullied child.

The streets and alleys of Xianyang City formed a web, and the Empress Dowager Huayang was the big spider lying in the middle of the web. The trembling of every thread could not escape her ears and eyes, and she already knew the reason for it. Even some details are completed by conscientious dark people.

Empress Dowager Huayang believed that this was a sudden incident. The reason is simple. Yun Yue didn't have the capital to challenge Lu Buwei, and if he did it now, he would die. She needs to weigh up. There are trade-offs. Is it to help Yun Yue, or to be indifferent and let Lu Buwei eat the Yun family clean?

"The king has arrived!" The shrill voice of the chamberlain sounded at the entrance of Gaoquan Palace.

King Zhuang Xiang and Lü Buwei joined forces to enter Gaoquan Palace, and the Empress Dowager Huayang made a decision in an instant. Lü Buwei has always been a loyal horse boy of the Mi family. However, it is impossible to put eggs in one basket, and Lü Buwei and King Zhuang Xiang are too close. This person is getting harder and harder to control, if one day they join forces to deal with the Mi family. Since the Empress Dowager Xuan, the power created by the Mi family in the Qin State is worried about overturning.

It can't be like this! I need someone who can compete with Lü Buwei, and the situation of Lü Buwei's dominance after Yangquanjun's death needs to be changed. And this Yun Yue is an excellent candidate. Wen can govern the country, and Wu can be safe. Let the ministers check and balance each other, this is what you have to do as a superior.

"Son greets mother!" "Don't Wei give the Queen Mother a greeting, I wish the Queen Mother a long life and good health!"

King Zhuang Xiang and Lü Buwei successively greeted the Empress Dowager Huayang, and the atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious. But seeing Lu Buwei's unkind eyes when he saw Yun Yue, he knew that something must happen today.

"Yun Yue has seen the king! Lord Xiangbang! Yun Yue keenly captured the essence of the moment in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Huayang. He specially mentioned Lü Buwei and King Zhuangxiang side by side, which made the Empress Dowager Huayang jealous of their too close relationship.

This pair of good friends even share their wives, what else can't they do together? The combination of this pair of monarchs and ministers is not half beneficial to the Empress Dowager Huayang.

Sure enough, Yun Yue's unruly courtesy made King Zhuang Xiang frown. Because this is the palace of the Empress Dowager Huayang, she just glared at Yun Yue and did not have a seizure.

"Yunhou, don't come unharmed! I heard that Yunhou annihilated tens of thousands of Qiang people in the north, why didn't he repay the imperial court. The soldiers are not rewarded for their merits, but it is not to chill the hearts of the soldiers. "Lü Buwei, this bastard, spoke first.

Yun Yue frowned, it was not false to kill the Qiang people. But there is no way to repay this work, and people themselves are left to do coolies. Seize yourself and leave someone to send someone to Xianyang to auction, although it is already an unwritten practice for the Great Qin soldiers to privately divide the spoils, but after all, it is not clearly written in the law. The victorious armies were also surrendered to a greater or lesser extent. Anyway, everyone has a number of things in their hearts, and paying more and paying less is what it means, and it is definitely not okay not to pay.

Lü Buwei caught Yun Yue's death hole at once, especially in front of King Zhuang Xiang. The seizure of daring to pay tribute to the imperial court is really a great bad conscience.

"The previous time was to win a battle and repel the Qiang attack. Some horses and weapons were captured, but some time ago they fought against the Huns. The battle damage was very serious, so Yun Yue replenished some of the pawns. Lord Xiangbang, you don't know that the Qiang people are poor. The leather robes he wore were all bare and hairless. Those prisoners of war were particularly able to eat, and they could eat half a catty of wheat in one meal.

Pingliang City was destroyed by the Huns, and there was no labor to repair the city. I can only feed these Qiang people as laborers, and I can't take some of the war horses that the brothers have come out to Xianyang to sell. I was going to get some food and linen back, but I didn't expect to offend your son-in-law. Nearly thirty war horses were forcibly taken. Pity my Pingliang soldiers, many of them don't have a house to live in now. Lived in tents in the snow and ice. Cracks in the hands that are frozen. It's like a child's mouth. I'm the one who is the manager......

Yun Yue's tears flowed down again as she spoke, and it looked like the ginger juice on her sleeve was still effective.

The Empress Dowager Huayang sighed first, and Yun Yue was secretly happy in her heart. After successfully diverting attention, it is up to the widow to whom the Queen Mother is headed. Now Yun Yue is eighty percent sure that the Empress Dowager Huayang will speak to herself.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager Huayang played extraordinary acting skills. It reflects the super combat power of a powerful queen mother of the deep palace for a long time, and her eyes turned red almost instantly. Then Douda's tears crackled down, and Yun Yue was immediately shocked. This girl doesn't go to film Qiong Yao's drama. What a fucking waste of talent.

This is not very sensational, if you make some sour poems of later generations, let Ni Ping think about it. Your old man is not crying like Meng Jiangnu!

"It's really not easy for the soldiers in the north, and there is still some money and food in the inner government. Qing'er, you go and tell the young eunuch of the inner government to come out with 500 yuan. Give the soldiers on the front line some subsidies for their families. ”

"No!" Qin Qing lowered his head and promised, and immediately a waiter went out on an errand.

The muscles on Zhuang Xiangwang's face couldn't help twitching, and the non-biological old lady had paid for it. What is the difference between his non-biological son? Moving his buttocks in pain, King Zhuang Xiang coughed and said, "The Queen Mother doesn't have to take out her own money. Raising soldiers is a matter for the imperial court. Lone then instructed Shaofu to sow rice grain for Pingliang, and asked the Queen Mother not to be sad anymore. Crying out is the sins of the son. ”

"King, Pingliang not only lacks rice and food, but also lacks people. Don't you know, after the Huns, Pingliang City almost became a scorched earth. There are not one or two of the remnants of the robbery, and the rest are some old and weak women and children. It is not a matter for these people to rely on the imperial court to receive help, and they also asked the king to move some farmers to Pingliang to cultivate in order to consolidate the border of Daqin. It also enables those old, weak, orphans and widows to be supported, so that they will not starve to death in the wilderness! ”

As soon as Yun Yue said this, Empress Dowager Huayang's tears fell again.

"Uh...... Solitary...... Lone went to arrange the migration himself. Queen Mother, please don't be sad, my son will do it! "King Zhuang Xiang doesn't want to stay for a moment, this Yunyue is too good at climbing the pole. It's going to be late, the money and food are going to be the population, and the fuck doesn't know what he wants if he stays any longer. The longer you stay, the more you lose. Anyway, you are a marquis, and tomorrow you are going to court, and you have the opportunity to rectify your kid.

King Zhuang Xiang gave a salute, turned around and left! Lu Buwei also gave a salute and followed out.

"Yun Yue! The one who came with you last time was called Wu or something, did you come this time, and the one he grilled last time was called a lamb skewer, and the food was very good. If he comes, announce him. Do it once for the mourning family, and I don't know what to eat when this spring begins. You should put more of the red peppers, and the mourning family is a good bite, and you can't sleep if you don't eat some every day. ”

There was a homely voice from the Empress Dowager Huayang behind him, and Lu Buwei almost hit the ground with a head, and he almost ran out with his legs pressed backwards. When Yun Yue heard what the Empress Dowager Huayang said, she immediately cooperated: "That's Wusun Jichang, the righteous brother of Weichen, and he is now a guest in Prime Minister Lu's mansion. If you let Lu Xiang bring a word, it is rare for Weichen to go back to Xianyang to accompany the Queen Mother to talk and relieve boredom. ”

"Hmmm! Reasonable, Lu Xiang walked slowly. Send someone to bring a message to Wusun Jichang, so that he can enter the palace and make that mutton skewer for the mourning family! ”

Lu Buwei ran and jogged or didn't run, and the voice of the Empress Dowager Huayang sounded behind herself. Helpless, Lu Buwei could only turn around, bow to the Empress Dowager Huayang and salute: "No, Buwei will send someone to send that Wusun Jichang immediately." He glanced at Yun Yue fiercely, turned around and walked out of Gaoquan Palace. He didn't want to stay in this place for a second.

With a fox-like smile, Yun Yue arched her hand at Lu Buwei. Hate Lu Buwei so much that he really wanted to tear him up immediately!

"Boy, you've figured it out. Now that you have offended the two most powerful people in Daqin, you will not be caught by clamping your tail in the future. Especially when you haven't grown a tail yet, the mourning family can't keep you every time.

Okay, that's what the long guy is here in a minute. Take him back to your Yunjia Zhuangzi, so that you can do it yourself! Qing'er, mourning family is tired. I didn't see anyone today, and everyone who came again sent them to the mourning family. Call Zhao Ji over and beat the legs of the mourning family. ”

"Whoa!" Meimu glanced at Yun Yue, and then went away.

What the Empress Dowager Huayang said was still a deterrent, and it took less than an hour. Wusun Jichang appeared at the gate of Gaoquan Palace, and Yun Yue's tears fell when he saw it.

A tall and strong man, held by two chamberlains. The clothes on his body are one by one, and he lives like a beggar. His hair was scattered, and he was rolled out like a cloth. Her face was dark, and she couldn't stop falling when she saw Yun Yue's tears. Several teeth were lost when he opened his mouth, and Gaba didn't speak for a few moments.

Yun Yue hugged Wusun Jichang's body, and the sturdy man was tortured like this in just ten or twenty days. I didn't feel as heavy as the little girl, and my legs trembled and shivered in the cold wind.

Quickly untied the cloak and draped it on Wusun Ji's long shoulders, licking the bloody man with a knife and not changing his face. "Wow" cried, and even the attendant who was supporting him wiped his tears.

Yun Yue did not have the qualifications to bring the guards into the palace, so she could only help Wusun Jichang to go out by herself. The cold wind suddenly rose, and the two brothers felt desolate.

"Ji Chang, let's go home. No matter what those bastards do to you, Lao Tzu will make them pay back double. Don't cry, the manly husband sheds blood and sweat without tears. ”

A large bucket of water was washed into oil, and it took more than a dozen barrels to wash Wusun Jichang. Yun Yue wrapped his hands and feet with strips of cloth, and he was itched with frostbite and soaked in warm water. Wusun Ji Chang can't wait to chop off his hands and feet!

The rib bones are like washboards, and there are whip marks on the body. Some of them are already infected and suppurated, and when you press your hand lightly, yellow pus will flow out, exuding a fishy smell. Fortunately, this is winter, and if it were summer, I am afraid that I would have died long ago.

The Yunnan Baiyao brought over during the crossing was gone, and it could only be replaced with herbs prepared by Bian Que. Finally, half of the cephalosporin was also taken out, and this thing has always been strong and hopes to survive.

A big bowl of noodles, Wusun Ji Chang served it like a hungry wolf. After eating half of it, tears flowed down, and I cried like a doll in a month holding the old bowl of noodles.

"They kept me in the stable, hungry and wouldn't let me eat. I've only survived until today by eating horse feed, and if it takes a few more days, you'll ......."

"Eat slowly, eat slowly. When we're full, let's go back to Pingliang. Don't worry, this revenge will be avenged by our brothers. Yun Yue's tears flowed.

"Brother......!" (To be continued......)
