Chapter 346: The Emperor's Sorrow
"Big brother's words just now, there is indeed a mistake, don't forget, the biggest harvest this time is not the grain and gold, silver and cloth, but the families of those traitors, with them in hand, not to mention these things, even if it is ten times more, it is nothing, and even if the eldest brother can get the official position appointed by the imperial court, you will not only be the uncrowned king of this radius of hundreds of miles, the entire Jianzhou, the whole Lingnan will be your world at that time, at that time, how much rice and money you want, isn't it a matter of getting caught?" Qiqiu said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Ah..... Hahaha...... Yes, yes, it's the eldest brother who said the wrong thing, the eldest brother admits punishment, and the eldest brother admits punishment. ”
After Niu Qianjin heard this, he became even more excited, and while saying that he accepted punishment, he put down the wine bowl in his hand, picked up the huge wine jar next to him, and drank it with his head up, and he didn't know if he was punishing himself, or if he had wanted to drink so much for a long time, I am afraid that the latter is more.
"Hahaha, happy, happy, it's been a long time since I've been so happy, brother, for our success, don't get drunk today, come and drink."
"The little brother sacrificed his life to accompany the gentleman, come, drink."
"Bump"
With the collision of the two wine jars, the spilled hops reflected the expressions of the two agreeing excited, but why they were excited in their hearts was unknown.
..............................
The sun was setting in the west, and because it was winter, it soon became dark.
At this time, the originally closed gate of Jianzhou City was 'creaked' and remembered, and after a few breaths, the city gate was actually opened from the inside. Soon after the gate of the city was opened, a pair of Tang troops with bright clothes and armor quietly marched into the city, if it was daytime, this scene might still have a bit of momentum, but when it was dark, except for a few torches to illuminate, not even the shadow of a single person could be seen, let alone welcomed.
"Qiyu Governor, three thousand soldiers have entered the city, the city walls and warehouses have been successfully taken over, Ma Cao and others are very cooperative, and now they are waiting for the governor to enter the city."
After all the soldiers entered the city, several tall horses carried a pair of people to the city gate, led by no one else, it was the governor of the Tang army, Duan Jian, and the person who told him was the captain of Zhichong Mansion who led the army into the city before, Chen Guotai.
Hearing Chen Guotai's words, Duan Jian's hanging heart finally let go, after meeting with Ma Cao yesterday, with the matter of power and the families of the victims, Ma Cao happily agreed to the conditions of surrender. Although Ma Cao agreed at that time, it was only the first step, after all, the forest was big, and there were all kinds of birds, in case some unwilling people wanted to make trouble, wouldn't it be a big trouble.
Therefore, when he decided to take over Jianzhou City, Duan Jian let the elite of Zhichong Mansion under Chen Guotai take the lead, with the elite soldiers of Zhichong Mansion, as long as they can enter the city, even if someone wants to make trouble, they can easily quell the riot and avoid major problems, now it seems that everything is fine, Duan Jian can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Successfully took Jianzhou City, it stands to reason that Duan Jian's task has been completed, and the rest of the things should be handed over to the imperial court to deal with the aftermath, but he did not report to the imperial court, except for the conditions he promised Ma Cao and others, rescued the remaining families of the victims, and killed all the She people who killed the families of the victims, in addition to this reason, he also wanted to take the opportunity to establish military exploits.
In all dynasties, the most important thing is military merit, and in military merit, killing foreign enemies and expanding the territory for the country is the first-class merit, and quelling the rebellion or exterminating the bandits, this kind of merit is much smaller.
It is precisely for this reason that if Duan Jian takes the opportunity to quell the Lingnan She problem that has been a headache for the imperial court for a long time, there is a world of difference between that kind of meritorious service and the rebellion of Jianzhou City, even if this credit is not valued by the imperial court, but Duan Jian's credit cannot be erased, one side is a Jinshi background, tried strange cases, helped the imperial court through the food shortage crisis, and the other side can lead the troops to quell the rebellion, and can also solve the troubles of foreign races, this kind of civil and military all-rounder, who dares to ignore it, when the time comes, Duan Jian can rely on this merit to pave the way for him to enter the Hanyuan Hall in a dignified manner in the future.
"Brother Chen, since Ma Cao has fulfilled his promise, we can't be untrustworthy, for the She tribe that killed their families, we must find out as soon as possible, and when the time comes, we must let all the aliens know that my Han people are not so easy to kill, whoever dares to kill my Han people, I will let him repay it tenfold, a hundred times, kill me, I will kill him a hundred, and I know that there is no other race that dares to think about my Han people." Duan Jian said to Chen Guotai.
The reason why Chen Guotai was ordered was because the soldiers of Zhichong Mansion under his command were the most elite, and the scouts among them were the elite of the elite, so the matter of inquiring about the news fell on Chen Guotai.
Hearing Duan Jian's words of red fruit and awe-inspiring intent, Chen Guotai was not only not frightened, but replied quite excitedly and excitedly, "Don't worry, the governor will definitely find those damned beasts as soon as possible and avenge those dead compatriots." ”

"Woo woo........ Father, mother, the child begs you, you can spare him, as long as you can let him come back safely, the child is all for you, I will marry whoever you want me to marry, I just ask you to let him be safe. ”
Luoyang Palace, apse
Since Gaozong Li Zhi arrived at Luoyang Palace, it has replaced Chang'an's Daming Palace and become the heart of the entire Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, those who dare to cry and howl here are only a few people.
Yes, the person who is crying and begging here now is none other than Princess Taiping, Li Lingyue, who traveled thousands of miles to Hangzhou City because of her escape from marriage.
After getting Duan Jian's general to lead the troops south to Jianzhou to quell the rebellion, Li Lingyue was completely messy, after listening to Shangguan Wan'er's words, she understood that if she wanted to rescue Duan Jian, she could only ask for the consent of the two most noble people in the Tang Dynasty today, she immediately traveled to Luoyang, and after half a month of bumps, she finally arrived at Luoyang Palace.
"You...... You...... You, bastard, what do you think this court event is, it's your child's play, how can you be allowed to be so nonsense, don't hurry up, dare to talk nonsense again, be careful and punish you harshly. Looking at Li Lingyue, who couldn't stop crying, Li Zhi, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly said angrily.
Although it seems that Li Zhi is furious, only those who are familiar with him know that Li Zhi's anger is only pretended to be on the surface, and from the trace of regret that flashed in his eyes from time to time, it can be seen that he still cares a lot about this little daughter in his heart, but because of his face, he has to pretend to be angry to maintain his king's face.
"Okay, okay, Your Majesty, Taiping is still a child after all, where does she know about any national affairs, why should you be angry with her." Seeing that Li Zhi was pretending, Wu Zetian also pretended to dissuade him.
After dissuading Li Zhi, Wu Zetian walked to Li Lingyue, who was kneeling there, and helped her up, looking at his beloved daughter who was much darker and thinner, Wu Zetian's heart was also full of heartache, and he said softly, "You unconscious girl, just for such a little thing, you actually left your father and mother and ran so far, you don't want to think about it, how your father and mother will worry about you, and not long ago, your father's wind disease recurred, and the situation was extremely dangerous, but you don't know your side, you are a great unfilial piety, do you know, It's usually too indulgent to you, after coming back this time, I will be grounded in the Anping Hall for the palace, and I will not be allowed to step out of the Anping Hall for half a step for three months, otherwise, be careful that the queen mother will beat you. ”
"Hmm....... Ah, Ah, Mei Niang, she is still a child after all, this three-month grounding, is it too harsh, it is better like this, grounded for a month, in the palace, not allowed to leave half a step, what do you think. After all, she is her beloved daughter, and after hearing Wu Zetian's punishment, Li Zhi couldn't hold back any longer, and opened his mouth to persuade him.
Hearing Li Zhi's words, Wu Zetian couldn't cry or laugh, and thought to himself, 'This punishment is also yours, and the plea is also yours, and I don't know what you are going to do.' ’
Despite this thought, Wu Zetian still nodded and said, "Okay, since Your Majesty has spoken, the concubine will obey Your Majesty's will." ”
Li Zhi and Wu Zetian's double reeds made Li Lingyue extremely moved, she is not really a stupid girl who knows nothing, she has lived in the palace since she was a child, even if she has not participated in the ghostly things, many things have already been known.
She also understood that this time she ran away from the marriage, which made Li Zhi and the entire royal family lose a lot of face, but Li Zhi did not blame him at all, and even interceded for him, which made him quite moved in his heart, but thinking of the beloved who was far away and did not know life and death, she was still gloomy and anxious in her heart, and couldn't help but ask again.
"The child thanks his father and the queen mother's grace, the child knows that this time the matter is the father, and the queen mother has caused great difficulties, no matter how the father and the queen mother punish the child, the child has no regrets, but also asks the father and the queen mother, let Duan Jian go, let him come back, don't lead the troops in the south."
"You, you, you......... Bastard, whirring ........"
This time Li Zhi was really angry, he didn't understand, how could the once well-behaved, lovely little padded jacket become the wild girl who didn't know how to advance or retreat, in a hurry, Li Zhi felt a swelling pain in his head, as if it was stuffed with things, the pain was unbearable, and he was so uncomfortable that it was a little difficult to maintain his breathing.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, come on, hurry up and recruit the doctor." Seeing Li Zhi's uncomfortable appearance, Wu Zetian also said in a panic.
At the same time, Wu Zetian angrily scolded Li Lingyue who was kneeling there, "Don't go out yet, do you really want to be angry with your father, tell you, your father has nothing to do today, in case he has anything to do, that Duan Jian will give your father a funeral!" ”
Everything in front of her made Li Lingyue completely stunned, she never imagined that things would develop like this, in a daze, she felt that someone was supporting her, and helped her out of the main hall to the side hall next to her.
As one of the most honorable people in the Tang Dynasty or today, Li Zhi's stability involves not only him, but the life and death of thousands of lives, so under the leadership of Xiao Huangmen, the imperial doctor who has been serving in the side hall hurriedly ran over with the medicine box.
Fortunately, this time Li Zhi did not have a head attack, but was congested by Qi's head, which is the so-called high blood pressure, under the emergency rescue of the imperial doctor, his headache gradually returned to normal, but his age is not young, and after many years of frailty and illness, even if the headache is cured, he has no strength to do it, but lies on the bed.
"How can you say that Taiping has changed so much, from time to time that kid instigates it, it seems that it is too cheap for me to let him lead the troops south, he should have sent someone to cut off his head a long time ago, so that it will be difficult for him to influence my good girl." Even at this moment, Li Zhi's resentment towards Duan Jian was still strong.
Speaking of which, it's not to blame Li Zhi, this may be a common problem of all fathers in the world, even if he knows that sooner or later, his daughter will marry a strange man, but he still can't help but be hostile to those men.
Hearing Li Zhi's words, even Wu Zetian complained weakly in his heart for a while, and secretly thought, "It seems that Your Majesty has a deep grudge against that Duan Jian, fortunately, Duan Jian has done some things for the palace, and he is quite capable, otherwise, with His Majesty's resentment against you, I am afraid how many times you would have died." ”
"Your Majesty is angry, these things are not important, the important thing is that you must take care of the dragon body, although you can rest assured, the matter of Taiping, the concubine body will be solved, and that paragraph of Jane does not have to care about him, this time those rebels who pacified Jianzhou do not know if they can come back alive, why should you bother with a dying person?" Wu Zetian persuaded him.
Li Zhi still believed in Wu Zetian's words, and after nodding in agreement, he closed his eyes, just when Wu Zetian thought he was too tired and wanted to sleep, he saw two crystal tears slowly flowing out of the corners of his eyes.
"Ah, Your Majesty, you...... What's wrong with you, there is something wrong, as long as you say it, the concubine will do it for you. "Even if Wu Zetian is the first emperor of the ages, she is just a daughter with a strong personality at this time, seeing that her husband is also her backer, revealing such a rare posture of a child, how can she not feel frightened and confused?
"Hey, Mei Niang, don't think about it, I don't have anything wrong, I just feel something in my heart for a while, as the youngest concubine of His Majesty Taizong, I was originally a cowardly person, I never thought about being a prince, an emperor, I just want to read every day, look at the scene, and spend a happy life with my father, mother, and brothers, but it's a pity that creation makes people, and in the end it all became like this."
