Chapter 67: The Concubine's Decision (1)

Since more than a month ago, when the Emperor suddenly appeared in Nannei and showed him the edict of the Emperor who had saved Empress Zhang's life, the Emperor had started a new plan.

For a month, he hid in the harem, lived in seclusion, and seemed to be looking for fun all day long, but in fact, he was planning a very important event: that is, to cut Li Jinzhong's power and persuade him to go into hiding.

However, Li Qi, the king of Mu, suddenly appeared in Bazhou and brought back the last words of his grandfather's favorite female Taoist priest, such as Xianyuan, which made him have to change his mind again.

For example, since the death of her grandfather, Xianyuan was asked by Li Jinzhong, who was then the provincial supervisor of the internal service, to ask her father who was in power for permission, and she went to the barren land of Yazhou. In the past five or six years, it is already a miracle that she has been able to survive in another country, and she can actually return to her hometown, meet Li Qi, the king of peace who escaped from Jiangling City, in Laojunguan, and reveal a huge deep palace secret to him before she died, which made the emperor sigh heartily: The world is reincarnated, and all good and evil will eventually be rewarded.

Regardless of whether Li Jinzhong was instructed by others or spontaneously, his grandfather's thirty-year Taiping Emperor, a generation of heroes who can be compared with Taizong in terms of civil governance and martial arts, ended up dying alone and tragically in Nannei. This made him, a relative and grandson who had been regarded by his grandfather as the future heir to the throne since he was a child, feel a great shame that he had never felt in his life.

If he couldn't avenge his grandfather and kill Li Jinzhong, a bold rebel, then what would he, the emperor of the Ninety-Five, be considered in the eyes of the world, and what face would he have in the future to talk about loyalty and filial piety in front of the world?

However, Li Jinzhong is by no means comparable to any other person for himself. Although his struggle for power is almost crazy, although his flying in front of him is often unbearable, although he is ruthless, his hands are stained with the blood of hundreds of palace people and eunuchs in Daming Palace, although he can betray his old subordinate Xie Liangchen who has followed him for many years for his own selfishness...... Others can say that Li Jinzhong's hundred or even thousands of articles are not coming, but the emperor can't.

Without Li Jinzhong, how could he have the throne he has today!

The culprit who killed his grandfather was actually the first hero who helped him to succeed to the throne. This cruel fact made the emperor unable to sleep and eat for a few days, and he was exhausted, and he had no intention of looking for those beautiful and lovely little talents to have fun, and he fell into a bitter thought about one thing all day and night: since Li Jinzhong must die, and he can't bear the notoriety of betraying grace and righteousness in front of the world, how should he die?

At this time, a military report from Jingzhou completely disturbed the emperor's already very irritable mood.

According to Yu Chengsi, who was in charge of the military and political affairs of Jingyuan, Hexi, and Longyou, he reported in a 600-mile urgency: As soon as the season began in autumn, the Tubo general Na Ximo personally led the main force of 100,000 Scorpion troops to the land of Jiuqu in Hexi.

What is most worrying is that the scouts have learned that at the same time that Nasimo led his army into Helong to plunder, the Tubo Dynasty's temporary ruler of the Tubo Dynasty, Chide Zampu, sent envoys from the Five Routes to the Nanzhao in the south, the Uighurs in the west, the Turks in the northwest, the rebel Yan State in the north, and Tuyuhun and other countries that had been destroyed by the Tubo and became their vassals, but still retained a relatively independent royal court, in an attempt to unite many countries to launch a siege on the Chang'an court from all sides.

In order to ensure that the vast territory of the Western Regions would not fall into the hands of foreign races, Yu Chengen implored the emperor to allow the Shenhe Army to expand its personnel from the current 30,000 to 100,000, and asked the imperial court to step up the preparation of food for 100,000 people in wartime, and the cadres were immediately sent to Jingzhou.

If most of Yu Chengen's performance is true, this can be regarded as a major headache for the emperor. The expansion of the Shenhe army's armament war, under the situation of Tubo's continuous intrusion into the Helong area, was originally understandable, but when it came to Yu Chengsilai, the current supreme commander of this army, the emperor was really relieved.

It is said that Yu Chengen was his father's companion when he was in the East Palace, and he should be his father's most trusted close eunuch. However, after the Zhang family entered the Middle Palace, he took the initiative to fall to the Qingning Palace and became one of the few celebrities in front of the Zhang family. Although after the Zhang family was forced to death by Li Jinzhong and the Zhang family power disappeared, he repeatedly went to the chapter to show his loyalty to the emperor, and even said that once the emperor had an edict, he could personally lead 30,000 divine crane troops to remove all obstacles for the emperor and strive to ensure that the emperor sat firmly in the country.

However, no matter how he confessed, the close relationship between him and the Zhang family has always become an insurmountable gap between the emperor and him. The emperor first ordered Yu Chengen to lead the army to move to Huazhou, so that the Shenhe Army changed from the main force of the counterinsurgency to the second-line army, and then took advantage of the loss of the river and the use of the new commander to transfer the Shenhe Army to Jingzhou in the west to garrison it to prevent the invasion of Tibet, so that he was completely out of the main battlefield of the counterinsurgency.

Now that he suddenly received such a military report from Yu Chengen asking for army expansion and food, how could the emperor not be suspicious and hesitate?

After thinking hard about how to get rid of Li Jinzhong for days to no avail, and being suspicious about Cheng'en's report, the emperor walked into the Baoxiang Palace with a depressed mood.

Jinping has lost the news of Lai Xing'er for many days, so he casually found an excuse early in the morning, and after obtaining Jing Xuan's consent, he thought that Yu Linwei would go to ask Wu Bi to agree, so that he could meet Xing'er. I didn't want to leave the palace yet, but I bumped into the emperor who came to the Treasure Elephant Palace to ask Jing Xuan.

"Jinping, I hurried out of the palace early in the morning, where are you going?" The emperor waved his hand to signal Jinping to flatten himself and asked casually.

"If you go back to the emperor, the maid was busy yesterday, and she forgot something important, and the 'little white dragon' that came to Xing'er to take care of me a few days ago has been fostered outside the palace for a few days, and the maid has the permission of the maid, ready to go out of the palace to see it."

Jinping's brain turned quickly, and he deliberately mentioned Lai Xing'er in front of the emperor, wanting to test whether the emperor was still annoyed with Lai Xing'er in his heart.

"I have long seen that you have affection for that kid, how about it, are you willing to give up your position as the head of the Shanggong Bureau and marry a little soldier?"

Over the years, although Jing Xuan has not smiled in front of the emperor, Jinping has a natural straight temperament, even in front of the emperor, he will say something, laugh when he should laugh, and he is not as restrained and careful as ordinary palace people, so he has always been regarded as a pistachio by the emperor. Even in today's extremely boring mood, the emperor did not forget to joke with her.

"The maidservant girl thanked the emperor for marriage. Just ......"

Jinping actually borrowed the emperor's words and bowed down to the emperor Yingying without shame. (To be continued.) )
