The emperor quietly walked into the room, came behind Sakura, and slapped her on the shoulder, wanting to surprise her, but Sakura immediately turned around with lightning speed and pressed the short sword in his hand against the emperor's throat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"You, what are you doing here?" The emperor never imagined that Sakura, who had always been gentle and lovely, would have such agile skills, and his face turned pale with fright, and he asked in a trembling voice.

Sakura turned around and saw that it was the emperor who quietly walked into her room, and immediately realized that she had inadvertently revealed her horse's feet that were good at fighting, and immediately threw her sword, threw herself into the emperor's arms, and sobbed and exclaimed: "The maidservant should die, she was shocked by the holy drive, and she didn't hurt Your Majesty, right?" ”

The emperor was confused by her betrayal of the two of them, and when he was shocked, he felt that the beauty was in his arms, and the sweet fragrance was fragrant, so he stabilized his mind and replied with a strong smile: "I have also been the commander of the three armies and have been in battle for a long time, how can I be easily injured by your little woman." It's the second watch, you don't sleep, what are you doing alone in the room and wiping your sword? Well, I didn't think that I was still a master of skill in the harem just now, and I didn't expect that there was a master of skill in my harem! ”

It's okay to say anything else, but the last sentence of the emperor made Sakura feel panic and uneasy, and hurriedly leaned her head on the emperor's chest, and said coquettishly: "Where is the handmaid what kind of skill is the master, on weekdays often mixed with the Jinping around Jing Niangniang, Chengjing Niangniang can afford it, and taught the maid this trick 'Flying Bird Throwing into the Forest', I don't want to use it under Your Majesty today, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive the servant girl for the sin of not knowing." ”

The emperor gently snatched the short sword from Ying'er's hand, approached the light and carefully examined it, and praised: "Sure enough, it's a good sword!" ”

Sakura'er's eyes flashed, and she hurriedly approached, and said with a smile: "When it comes to this sword, the maid can't help but say a few more words." Two years ago, Your Majesty was Queen Zhang, no, Zhang's bureau forced to go to Tongzhou to avoid trouble, Niangniang was still with auspicious, Ruyi two babies to stay in the East Palace, during that time, our master and servant two **** night and night were on guard against Zhang's order to take our lives, it can be said that the food is unsweet, and the sleep is not good. Niangniang is loyal to Your Majesty, and specially told the maid to find a short sword for her, and as soon as the Zhang family sent someone to catch her, she broke it off and martyred for Your Majesty. Thanks to the kindness of Lord Xie Liangchen, who was in charge of the prince's inner fang at the time, he sent this short sword to the maid at the request of the maid for self-defense......

Later, after Your Majesty ascended to the pole, when all the people in the East Palace were moved into the Daming Palace, the maidservant secretly took the short sword away from Niangniang and received it from me. ”

She casually pushed the origin of the short sword to Xie Liangchen, who had been stabbed to death by the emperor himself, and her mind could not be described as agile and meticulous.

The emperor obviously didn't want to hear Ying'er mention Xie Liangchen, so he slowly waved his sword and asked Ying'er, "It's late at night, why do you remember to wipe it?" ”

Sakura seemed to be asked by the emperor about the sad place, her eyes were red, she shed tears, and said with sadness and resentment: "Your Majesty doesn't dare to lie and hide it in front of you, the maid wants to use it, and wants to use it to end her life." ”

"Huh?" The emperor stretched out his hand and took the initiative to pull Ying'er into his arms, patted her on the back, and said comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, with me, who dares to make you angry?" Tell me, what's going on? I am in charge of everything, so why can't you think about it yourself, and you have to kill yourself? ”

Sakura buried her head in the emperor's arms, forcibly held back the laughter in her belly, and replied in a choked voice: "It's not that those people in the palace are idle, chewing their tongues, and talking nonsense Your Majesty is about to make Concubine Hui the queen, and make Niangniang sad and annoyed, so they will use me to be angry...... "She has just taken the opportunity to explain the origin of the short sword to the emperor, and planted a seed of a virgin martyr in the emperor's heart for Wanrong.

The emperor himself seemed to have forgotten what he had said, and was about to ask again with a puzzled face, but he heard a familiar voice behind him: "The emperor came to Yaohua Palace late at night, since it was not to visit the concubines, he simply asked the emperor to enjoy the name of a talented person tonight, and move to sleep elsewhere, so as not to stay in the palace of the concubines and hurt the fetus!" ”

It turned out that Gu Xichao had only received a full beating from Wanrong earlier that day, and the emperor came in the middle of the night, he thought about it again and again, but he still didn't dare to hide it from Wanrong, and ordered Shan'er to enter the dormitory to wake Wanrong up.

The emperor hurriedly pushed Sakura away from his arms, turned to face Wanrong with an embarrassed face, and said with a smile: "It turned out that when I came, I heard that Concubine Ai had already fallen asleep, so I came to see Sakura." I don't want to disturb my concubine, so I walked around and followed me back to the dormitory to talk, and I was careful that I was cold at night. As he spoke, he walked up to Wanrong and wanted to pull her out of here quickly.

Wanrong made up her mind tonight not to give the emperor this face, broke away from the emperor's hand hard, gritted her teeth and said with a sneer: "There will be a master in these six palaces, the emperor doesn't accompany the queen's mother, and he runs to this cold palace with a few concubines in the middle of the night?" Please forgive the concubine for being pregnant and inconvenient to sleep, so please ask the emperor to come back early. ”

Since she married the emperor, she had never said such heavy words to the emperor, and as soon as the words came out, she already felt remorse in her heart, and her eyes flickered and looked away.

The emperor was moved by the lies that Ying'er made out of his mouth, and felt that he owed Wanrong's mother and son a lot two years ago, so when he heard Wanrong's mean ridicule, he was not annoyed, but approached Wanrong, lowered his voice, and said to Wanrong affectionately: "I once made a promise to Concubine Ai, even if Concubine Ai forgets, I haven't forgotten, Concubine Ai doesn't need to speak coldly to me for a few gossips." Jing Xuan had never said anything like this to me. ”

He didn't mention Jing Xuan, but when he mentioned Jing Xuan, Wan Rong was still a little nervous, and the fire in her heart gradually faded, but she suddenly seemed to be added a handful of dry wood to the fire by the emperor, and she was furious for a while, and actually pointed to the direction of the palace gate and said to the emperor: "The concubine is not a lady, the emperor wants to listen to it, while it is not too late, please take care of yourself." ”

The emperor first smacked his lips, then shook his head, and went out without saying a word. With the benefit of Sakura tonight, no matter what ugly words Wanrong said, the emperor couldn't be annoyed in his heart out of gratitude for her.

However, when the emperor walked out of Yaohua Palace and was lonely, he walked to the Zilan Hall not far away, and thought of Ashina Jieyu to spend the night, but was told by the eunuch guarding the door: Concubine Li only sent someone to the residence of the concubines in the harem to pass the word, and the concubines were not allowed to sleep within a month.

When the emperor heard Wanrong's almost crazy ban on sleeping, he suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and for a while he couldn't figure out whether he should be angry, angry, sad, or laughing. Standing stunned outside the Purple Orchid Hall for a quarter of an hour, he finally reluctantly turned around and returned to the bathhouse hall and fell asleep alone.

When Shang Jing reported the news of Wang Huaizhen's defeat and return to Chang'an, the emperor was still thinking about last night's events and seemed a little absent-minded.

"Your Majesty, Wang Huaizhen not only lost Hezhou this time, but also lost the lives of 20,000 Divine Crane Army sergeants!" Shang Jing saw that the emperor's eyes were a little confused, and he reminded in a trembling voice.

The emperor trembled, as if he had woken up from a nightmare, stared at Shang Jing and asked, "What did you say?" 20,000 sergeants, just gone? Why didn't the Generalissimo's Mansion come up with a fold? ”

"Wang Huaizhen bypassed the Generalissimo's Mansion without authorization, and directly asked someone to find our house, and he must ask to see His Majesty before he is willing to explain the details." Shang Jing said as he peeked at the emperor's reaction, for fear that the emperor would immediately report to Wang Huaizhen.

"Details! What are the details? If you have a detailed military situation, you don't report it to the Generalissimo's Mansion, so what are you doing when you come to see me? Oh, I see, he was hoping to save him alive when he came to me, right? Sent an edict to him, asking him to report to the Generalissimo's Mansion immediately, what is there to say about Jing Yuncong! ”

Shang Jingzheng was glad that the emperor sent Wang Huaizhen to Jingyuncong, and heard the emperor ask, "Hezhou was lost all of a sudden?" Didn't Qi'er just reach an agreement with the Tubo envoys to strike the war between the two countries, no matter how Tubo said that the war would be fought, why didn't Xiang Zhifei and Tang Kuan in Jingzhou play in time? ”

Shang Jing's heart trembled when he heard this, and he hurriedly replied vaguely: "Maybe the two of them are on the road at this time, and they don't know." ”

"Shang Jing, you honestly reply to me, this Wang Huaizhen has nothing to do with you, right?" The Emperor asked steeply.

Shang Jing heard that the emperor was suspicious of this, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then a thought flashed in his mind: Why not take this opportunity to get rid of Wang Huaizhen, so that even if the military situation in Western Xinjiang is critical in the future, he can take advantage of the situation to push the crime of concealing the military situation on him.

With this plan, Shang Jing pretended to be panicked and prostrated on the ground, kowtowed to the emperor and said, "The old slave doesn't dare, don't dare." Wang Huaizhen asked someone to find the old slave, and the old slave remembered that he was a fierce general cultivated by Lord Yu Chengen himself, so he agreed to pass the word to His Majesty. The old slave and him really didn't even have a one-sided relationship in the past. ”

The more panicked Shang Jing became, the more satisfied the emperor felt in his heart, and the stomach that he had suffered in the Yaohua Palace last night had finally found an outlet to vent.

"After two years, I'm sure you've grown a lot of memorization." The emperor whispered to Shang Jing and said, "What crime should the defenders be guilty of abandoning the city and fleeing?" Since Wang Huaizhen found you, and said that there was an urgent military situation to meet me to play, I thought, he couldn't get rid of a dead word when he saw Jing Yuncong, so he simply saved some things, so he handed him over to you to send it, and when he finished explaining the military situation in Western Xinjiang in detail, whether to kill or stay, you can do it, okay? ”

After saying this, the emperor narrowed his eyes and observed Shang Jing's reaction. The emperor boasted that he was far above his father and could catch up with his ancestors. The reason why he immediately promoted Lu Guangting to be the deputy supervisor of the Inner Service Province after appointing Shang Jing with the important task of knowing the affairs of the Inner Service Province was because Shang Jing had a disgraceful past of selling his lord for glory two years ago, so he could not be completely relieved. If Shang Jing colluded with the generals who were far away from the capital, wouldn't it be even more of a mistake for him to reuse Shang Jing? On the contrary, only when a military leader like Wang Huaizhen died at the hands of Shang Jing, so that all the people who led the troops in the world had a grudge against Shang Jing, he could sit back and relax.

Shang Jing, who was well versed in the emperor's intentions, naturally had another thought, and heard that the emperor wanted to kill Wang Huaizhen with his own hands, but he didn't care about pondering the hidden meaning behind it, so he immediately raised his head and responded: "The old slave has the order." ”

In this way, Wang Huaizhen, a generation of heroes in the Shenhe Army, was clever but was mistaken by cleverness, and was inadvertently made a scapegoat by Shang Jing, and that night after writing down the latest battle situation in Western Xinjiang in detail, he was strangled to death by Shang Jing in a wing room of the Yamen of the Inner Servant Province.

After Jing Yuncong learned of Wang Huaizhen's death, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh on his back: The military soul has passed away, and the crane is resting. (To be continued.) )
