224 Prison
Chen Xuanhua is not dead yet!
Hearing Yang Guang's scream, she actually opened her eyes again.
But the blood kept flowing, staining her plain white clothes red, her face was paler than snow, she looked very cold, and hugged Yang Guang tightly!
Even if she is not an imperial doctor, everyone knows that she will not live long, and it is already a miracle for her to be able to open her eyes.
With the fierceness of the assassin's sword, after piercing Chen Xuanhua with a sword, if he waved his hand, Chen Xuanhua might be split in half!
The assassin simply drew his sword and went back, as if he didn't want to hurt her.
"Xuanhua, you're awake, hold on a little longer!" Yang Guang turned his head excitedly and said, "Imperial Doctor, why hasn't the Imperial Doctor arrived yet?" ”
Everyone was shocked and did not dare to speak, for fear of getting into trouble.
There was an imperial doctor in the city, so he hurried over, but he just glanced at Chen Xuanhua's injury, took his pulse for a moment, and said in a trembling heart: "Holy Lord, Mrs. Chen is afraid that ......"
Yang Guang shouted angrily: "I'm afraid of what? You can't heal, so what do I want you to do? Push it out and cut it, and then go to the imperial doctor! ”
"Holy ......" Chen Xuanhua said weakly: "No, don't kill people." ”
Yang Guang hugged Chen Xuanhua tightly, shook his head and said, "I don't kill people, Xuanhua, I promise you that I won't kill people." Let him go, and then go to the palace to find the imperial doctor! ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Xuanhua's mouth, but he couldn't hide the pain in his expression, "Holy Lord, I'm ...... I'm glad I can save you! ”
Her lips were closed, her breath was weak, and she could die at any time, Yang Guang burst into tears, and she could only hear her words when she was almost close to her lips.
"Xuanhua, I'd rather die than be hurt by you, why are you so stupid?!"
Xiao Buyi's ears are extremely strong, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be moved.
He, Pei Mingcui, and the ministers all knew that Chen Xuanhua was fake, and they also believed that she must have conspiracy and tricks, and even felt that with Yang Guang's surname, Chen Xuanhua's demagogy, the Great Sui might be subverted, but he never thought that Chen Xuanhua would save an imperial doctor even when he was dying.
If Chen Xuanhua was still pretentious at this time, she was really the most scheming person Xiao Buyi had ever seen.
The capital is the dying of people, and his words are also good, Chen Xuanhua is dying at this time, will he still calculate anything?
But if she didn't have a ghost in her heart, wouldn't it be a big mistake for Pei Mingcui to fight with her with all her heart!
The brilliance in Chen Xuanhua's eyes slowly faded, just a round, looking past Xiao Buyi, and throwing it onto the demented and dazed people in the distance.
The dark clouds gradually faded, and the slightest ray of light came out of the clouds, and they were about to break through the clouds. But Chen Xuanhua's light of life seemed to be burning out, Yang Guang's eyes were red, and he just desperately hugged Chen Xuanhua, as if he was robbing Yan Luo. Xiao Buyi's heart trembled slightly, and she only felt that if she died, she was afraid that the world would really be in chaos.
"These people ......," Chen Xuanhua said weakly.
"Kill them all." Yang Guang was furious and shouted: "Xiao Buyi, take your elite soldiers to kill all the people present." ”
Xiao Buyi was awe-inspiring, but he didn't want to obey orders, Yang Guang looked at Xiao Buyi angrily and said, "What, do you want to do the opposite?" ”
Xiao Buyi was silent, if he was defending himself, of course he would have no problem, but if he wanted to listen to the king's order and slaughter the people present, he really couldn't do this.
Chen Xuanhua said weakly: "Holy ......"
"Xuanhua, what's wrong." Yang Guang forgot about Xiao Buyi for the time being, and asked bitterly.
Xiao ...... The general is also for ...... Hello," Chen Xuanhua's lips moved twice, "It's the same as the concubine." The people are innocent, and they are bewitched, please ...... Holy ...... Let them go. ”
Yang Guang burst into tears and nodded again and again, "Xuanhua, don't you have to speak, I depend on you for everything." ”
His tears were all over his face, dripping down Chen Xuanhua's face, he was grief-stricken, and he wanted to yell, but he was choked up and wanted to be angry, but he was dissuaded by Chen Xuanhua. The helplessness of this moment seems to have returned to twenty years ago!
Chen Xuanhua's eyes were distracted, his eyes were no longer as bright as before, and he looked like he was going to die at any time, "Holy ...... Remember, I just ...... Please, promise me something? ”
"You said, I promised you a hundred and thousands of things, Xuanhua, you don't want to leave me. You promised me that you would be with me for the rest of your life! Yang Guang saw that Chen Xuanhua's breath was getting weaker and weaker, and although his eyes were looking at him, there was no light, and he couldn't help but be afraid.
He fell into helplessness again, when he was the prince, Yanmen was besieged, and Chen Xuanhua's departure ten years ago, he was all watching, but there was no way at all.
What can he do if he is the emperor, when he hugged Chen Xuanhua, he only felt powerless.
Chen Xuanhua's lips trembled, and he said in a low voice: "Holy Lord, Mo ...... Mo...... It's time to conquer Liaodong again, okay...... Is it? ”
When she said this, her eyes suddenly condensed, and she looked at Yang Guang with pleading.
This sentence hit Yang Guang like thunder and lightning, and also hit everyone present!
**The conquest of Liaodong was already a lifelong disease for Yang Guang, and it was difficult to eradicate it. Chen Xuanhua is his love, the conquest of Liaodong has been counted as his life, and the conquest of Liaodong again and again is the continuation of Yang Guang's life, making him even feel that if he does not conquer again, his great cause will not be complete, and if he does not conquer again, what else can he do?
Whether he could give up his life for his love, no one knows!
Pei Mingcui couldn't help coughing, but she couldn't help the blood surging up, she swallowed the blood that was about to reach her throat raw, full of bitterness.
In any case, her loyalty seemed to have done something irreparable.
Yang Guang heard Chen Xuanhua's pleading, and hissed: "Xuanhua, I promise you that I will never conquer Liaodong again for the rest of my life!" I only ask for mercy from the heavens...... Xuan, Xuanhua! ”
Yang Guang suddenly felt that his arm was crooked, and Chen Xuanhua had a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were dilated, and his head was crooked to the side.
With a heart-rending shout, Yang Guang's throat was like a split, and the imperial doctor finally rushed to arrive, and when he saw Chen Xuanhua's eyes, his heart sank, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.
Yang Guang didn't need a doctor to know that Chen Xuanhua had finally left him, and he couldn't hold back the intermittent tears anymore, and this crying was earth-shattering.
He shouted Xuanhua, and the hearts of the ministers trembled and frightened, just thinking that Chen Xuanhua entered the palace, every good word, but he didn't expect that the dream would not last long, and he would die soon. With Yang Guang's deep affection for Chen Xuanhua, it is bound to set off a bloody storm again, and everyone will inevitably be in danger.
I don't know that after a long time, Yang Guang, the high monarch, has no tears in his eyes, and he is overwhelmed with grief, and the imperial doctor knows that if he continues like this, he must be seriously ill. As an imperial doctor, he should be instructed to advise the saint to pay attention to his body, but in this situation, he is afraid that as soon as he opens his mouth, it is he who loses his surname.
"Holy Lord, people cannot be resurrected after death, please mourn and change." Pei Mingcui finally stepped forward and said.
The ministers looked at Pei Mingcui, and even Yu Wenshu couldn't help but admire this woman's courage. Yang Guanghuo Ran turned his head, his eyes were like blood, and said: "Pei Mingcui, you are guilty!" ”
Pei Mingcui was not surprised, and said in a deep voice: "Mingcui's rescue is not good, and the crime deserves death." ”
Yang Guang looked up to the sky and laughed, like a wolf, "You can't save the car? Your rescue is really foolproof, what kind of crime is it? ”
Everyone thought that Yang Guang was talking the opposite, and they were terrified, Pei Yun frowned on the side, but Yu Wenshu stretched his brows.
The two of them had different expressions, Xiao Buyi had a full view, and when he heard Yang Guang ask him to punish the people, he was almost opposite at that moment.
No matter what happens in the future, the four words of this cloth cloth will always lie between him and Yang Guang, and it is absolutely impossible if it is as before. Even if Empress Xiao intercedes, Yang Guang will be killed if he encounters a threat to the imperial power. In front of the throne, there is no family affection at all, let alone his relative. But he didn't expect Chen Xuanhua to say a word before the temporary time, General Xiao is also good for you! When Xiao Buyi heard this, he knew that he would not be in much danger for the time being, but it seemed that Pei Mingcui was on a precipice, Pei Yun and Pei Mingcui both belonged to Pei Valve, and they were in the same voice, at this time, of course, they had to consider how to deal with it, no matter what kind of evil intentions Yu Wenshu contained, Chen Xuanhua was dead in blocking the saint, and he was the beneficiary.
Pei Mingcui heard Yang Guang's wild laughter, and said calmly: "It's not a matter of saving the driver, Mingcui doesn't know what crime she has committed!" ”
Yang Guang scolded angrily, "Pei Mingcui, you said that there must be a killer attack this time, and you have already prepared it safely, and it is foolproof." But now that Mrs. Chen died, it was really your poor protection, where is the Dali Temple, take Pei Mingcui into custody and wait for disposal! ”
When Dali Siqing stood up, the ministers were shocked, Yang Guang was furious, Xiao Buyi was helpless, and Pei Mingcui didn't argue, just lowered his head. Xiao Buyi's eyes were sharp, and he couldn't help but feel sad when he saw two drops of water falling into the dust.
**When the spring river was warm, Xiao Buyi's heart was a little cold.
Since the New Year arrived in March, the Eastern Capital has been calm.
But up to the ministers and down to the people, they are all worried about it, and they are afraid that Yang Guang will go crazy.
After Yang Guangluoshui was attacked, he did not go crazy, but he suffered a serious illness and ignored the government for three months.
Although Chen Xuanhua is dead, he does not let Chen Xuanhua enter the ground, even if he is sick, he has to accompany Chen Xuanhua every night. The imperial doctors were helpless, and could only try their best to keep Chen Xuanhua's body from being damaged.
Luoshui's early thaw washed everything, as if the bloody assassination at the beginning of the year did not exist.
Ke Luoshui can dilute the tragic life and death, but it can't wash away the imprint of pathos in people's minds, and the shadow of assassination has lingered in Yang Guang's mind. The imprint in Yang Guang's heart is not the victory or defeat of the game between the two sides, but the death of Chen Xuanhua. Xiao Buyi is in the Eastern Capital, and he still knows a lot of news, his previous connections slowly began to play a role, and many ministers did not alienate him because of the four words of Buyi's dominance, on the contrary, many ministers secretly communicated information with Xiao Buyi, and they actually had a taste of showing goodwill.
Because now everyone knows that the person who plots to attack the driver is sent by the Taiping Dao!
And the slogan of Taiping Dao has always been a shocking prophecy, and the four words of this cloth cloth are heroic, maybe it falls on Xiao Buyi's body. In this case, they took precautions, and Xiao Buyi's intention to get close to them was obvious. The Great Sui is in turmoil, and there are fewer and fewer people who are loyal, and planning a retreat for themselves as soon as possible is the right way.
It's just that it's close or close, and most people are still on the sidelines. After all, there is still a word difference between Buyi being the hero and the cloth Yi being the king, because the prophecy of the Taiping Dao in the past, whether it is 'the one who represents the Han Dynasty, should be Tu Gao', or 'Anagui will finally break your country' is related to Sheji, and no one will know how far this domination can reach.
Although Xiao Buyi has risen rapidly for more than a year, the Great Sui has never seen it before. But after all, his foundation is still shallow, and although he is chaotic today, he has definitely not reached the point of being out of control. Besides, after all, the saint is a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, a series of means are quietly exerted, no one knows who will win in this fight.
Xiao Buyi never thought that the attack would have such an effect, but he still couldn't be sure that all this was done by Taiping Dao.
In his mind, the force of the attack was very weird, and he even suspected that Pei Mingcui did it, her purpose was not to kill Yang Guang, but to kill Chen Xuanhua in a false way. But Pei Mingcui was imprisoned because of this, which made Xiao Buyi doubt his thoughts, he was there at that time, and the fierceness of the fight made him still have palpitations, if it was also a play, Pei Mingcui was really well-intentioned.
Although the military department did not have Yang Guang's holy decree, according to the previous practice, it knew that this time it was absolutely ambiguous.
The Weifu dispatched more than 10,000 elite soldiers, house by village to search for the whereabouts of the bandits, this arrest, and arrested hundreds of people, all those who worship Maitreya were arrested, and the military department tortured them, and it was concluded that the remnants of the Taiping Road were in turmoil, and they only waited for the Holy Lord's inquiry to hand over.
Xiao Buyi knew that the people were innocent, but he was helpless. He learned from the palace that Yang Guang's condition is slightly better now, but he can't sleep at night, he either wakes up or cries every night, and can only sleep under the comfort of Queen Xiao.
He no longer looked like an emperor, but like a helpless, bereaved child, even though he was nearly fifty years old.
Xiao Buyi left the Taifu Mansion and did not go to the palace to face the saint, Yang Guang is not seen by anyone now, he is going to visit Pei Mingcui in prison.
Although the four words of Buyi Zhuangxiong fluctuated, they also quietly spread in the Eastern Capital, but Yang Guang did not make any moves, and now he didn't seem to care about his own world.
Xiao Buyi is in the Eastern Capital, but all the operations are carried out in an orderly manner, Qi Wugong cloth refining is already being carried out, but the location is in the valley near the Iron Mountain of the grassland, where the interpersonal relationship is barren, not only the Great Sui can not be detected, even if the Shibi Khan wants to find out, it is quite difficult. According to Qi Wugongbu, the iron essence there is the purest, Jin Ying [***], which is suitable for refining. Xiao Buyi knew that what he said made a lot of sense, the so-called iron essence should be the high-quality iron ore of his time, but Xiao Buyi's knowledge of refining tools ended here, and he secretly thought that he was a modern person, and his hands-on practical ability was not as good as that of the ancients, and he was also a little ashamed. He is not suspicious of employing people, and lets Qi Wuhuaiwen do things.
There has also been great progress in communication, and the bird thief Li Keshi is grateful to Xiao Buyi for resolving their brother's long-standing grievances, and is quite dedicated to the arraignment. His bird training is by no means limited to pigeons, it can be said that all birds are trained to listen to the training, Li Keshi even raised a few Haidongqing, Xiao Buyi knew this kind of eagle when he first arrived in Dongdu, not to mention hunting, even if it is to catch wolves and sheep, I can't help but admire Li Keshi.
With the assistance of Yuan Lan's arrangement, Li Keshi has laid down three points for the selection of communication sites, which are in the grassland, Mayi and Dongdu. The news exchange between the three places is very fast, and the news can be obtained in a few days. Xiao Buyi was happy in his heart, and he also knew that Meng Chenxue's side was no different, Li Jing was sitting on the border, and the Turkic soldiers had long been frightened and did not dare to go south easily. Li Yuan is still suppressing bandits, and he is very busy, but what about the Eastern Capital, naturally there is no need to say more. After Li Keshi laid down three points, he began to develop southward, preparing to set up communications in Yangzhou, Xiangyang and other places in the south, Xiao Buyi said in his heart Although this guy is white-headed, he has a lot of talent for rebellion, and he is very orderly, quite in line with his own thoughts, has he already seen his intentions?
In the world of wrestling, it is not necessarily that the one who strikes first will win, on the contrary, the first one to strike is often consumed, and when he is cannon fodder, Xiao Buyi has come to the Eastern Capital Prison when he thinks of this.
**The prison soldiers knew the general of the right Xiaowei, but they were respectful, and just asked Xiao Buyi if he had the approval of the military department and Dali Temple.
Pei Mingcui is a repeat offender and a very peculiar character, this time the saint personally ordered her to be taken into custody, and no one dared to be ambiguous.
Xiao Buyi took out the edict of the Ministry of War and Dali Siqing early, although Wei Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhao Hedong, the secretary of Dali Siqing, had an ordinary relationship with him, but when he heard that he was going to visit Pei Mingcui, he did not hesitate to give an approval, and asked him to help greet him by the way.
I haven't seen you for three months, I don't know how Pei Mingcui is now, Xiao Buyi sighed in her heart when she thought of this.
He never came to see Pei Mingcui, because he couldn't save her or convince her.
With Pei Mingcui's power, even if she robs and gets out of prison, it will be easy, she doesn't defend herself, and she doesn't take any action, is it because although she is not dead, her heart is dead?
The guards didn't dare to slack off when they saw the approval document, and led Xiao Buyi to prison, and when Xiao Buyi saw Pei Mingcui, he almost didn't recognize Pei Mingcui.
Pei Mingcui did not have a trace of being tortured, but she was already thin.
When she saw Pei Mingcui, she was coughing violently, and when she coughed, there was no sign of stopping.
Her cheeks were sunken, and her big eyes were a little sunken, but the flame in her eyes was exuberant.
Pei Mingcui's cell can be said to be the best cell, the application is quite complete, and there is a bowl of medicine, which is cold and not drunk. Although she is a repeat offender, she is not handcuffed and shackled, sitting on a straw mat, leaning against the wall, she is more like she is ready to live here for the rest of her life.
Thinking back to the heroic and hearty Pei Mingcui a year ago, Xiao Buyi's nose was slightly sour, and his heart was pricked by a needle.
This is a dead knot, no outsider can untie it, Pei Mingcui can untie it, but it seems that she has given up.
Xiao Buyi wanted to persuade her to cheer up, but when she saw her appearance, she swallowed back when the words came to her mouth.
Seeing Xiao Buyi looking at herself, Pei Mingcui smiled, "Brother Xiao, are you okay?" ”
Xiao Buyi walked over and finally asked, "I'm okay, what about you?" ”
Pei Mingcui looked around, "I'm okay too." By the way, the ice of Luoshui has melted, right? ”
Xiao Buyi really didn't understand the meaning of Pei Mingcui's inquiry, and seeing the bitterness on Xiao Buyi's face, Pei Mingcui beckoned: "Come, sit." Forgive me for not bothering to get up and greet me, I've been thinking, who will be the first to see me? But after thinking about it for a long time, I realized that there was no one else who could come to visit me except you. ”
Speaking of this, Pei Mingcui laughed, coughing violently, Xiao Buyi reached out and patted her back, just hoping to alleviate her pain.
Pei Mingcui covered her mouth with a handkerchief, looked up and said, "Thank you." ”
"Actually, you don't have to go to jail at all." Xiao Buyi still couldn't help but say: "Why are you asking for yourself? ”
Pei Mingcui sighed lightly, "How much do you know?" ”
Xiao Buyi was slightly stunned, "What did you say?" ”
Pei Mingcui smiled, leaned against the wall, and looked at the roof, "I have a rare leisurely time in this period, but I like to think about it all my life, even if I am in prison, I can't help but think about it." I've always been thinking about Chen Xuanhua, I think I've got some eyebrows, do you want to hear it? ”
"What you need now is rest." Xiao Buyi frowned.
Pei Mingcui laughed and coughed again, "Do I still need to rest?" ”
"In addition to the great cause, in addition to the saint, in addition to Brother Xuanba, there are many things in this world that are worthy of your nostalgia." Xiao Buyi frowned and said: "The current Pei Mingcui is no longer the Pei Mingcui who was high-spirited and saved people a year ago. You are so willing to give up, to be honest, I am really disappointed in you! ”
Pei Mingcui was stunned for a long time before asking, "Then what do you want me to do?" ”
Seeing that Xiao Buyi was silent, Pei Mingcui said quietly: "My background is actually similar to that of Queen Xiao, and I have never been valued by my family. Even my father was indifferent to me, but everything changed because of my aunt's words. I went from having nothing to the pinnacle and then to nothing, and I could still bear it. The most loved in my life is my aunt, the most loyal is Shengshang, and my favorite man is Xuanba, but the most admired is you Xiao Buyi! ”
She said this in one breath, took a sip of water, suppressed her cough, and said slowly: "It's easy for you to die alone, but if you let him obey you, that's a difficult thing, if it is a man who can make me admire Pei Mingcui, there are really not many people in the world." Now that I'm in a mess, others are only afraid of being implicated and can't avoid it, and you can still come to see me, just by this point, I know that you regard me as a friend. ”
Xiao Buyi said helplessly: "Mingcui, you are the most thoughtful woman I have ever seen, but you are cocooned and bound because you are too scheming." As the saying goes, take a step back and let go of something, and you will only get more. ”
"Drop something and get more?" Pei Mingcui muttered this sentence and said with a wry smile: "There is no difficulty in the way, only to choose, but don't hate love, you understand clearly." The reason is clear, but how can it be easy to let go of this one? ”
The room was silent, but Xiao Buyi understood Pei Mingcui's suffering.
"I wasn't the one who killed Chen Xuanhua." Pei Mingcui said suddenly.
"What did you say?" Xiao Buyi asked in astonishment.
"I know that many people outside suspect that I killed Chen Xuanhua, but of course Brother Xiao knows that killing people is sometimes not necessarily the best way to solve the problem." Pei Mingcui said lightly: "You and I are not stupid people, killing Chen Xuanhua can only trap the saint in a catastrophe, how could I choose this stupid method?" In fact, this was originally a game, and I personally laid it out, cocooned myself, and failed to complain about others. ”
Seeing Xiao Buyi frowning, Pei Mingcui said in a condensed voice: "Chen Xuanhua is a strange person, she persuaded the Holy Lord to hold an uncovered conference, I think there must be strange things, please allow me to lay it out." After all, the Holy One treats me well, so I have full authority to deal with it. In addition to Yuwenshu, there is actually another person named Song Zixian. ”
"Who is Song Zixian?" Xiao Buyi asked strangely.
"Song Zixian is a native of Tang County, not far from the east, good at illusion, often able to conjure the form of a Buddha, claiming to be the reincarnation of Maitreya."
"Could it be his trick this time?" Xiao Buyi frowned and asked. Illusion should be like magic to him.
"It doesn't matter whose trick it is, in fact, Song Zixian is just a small person, and the forces behind him are what I pay the most attention to, and I think Brother Xiao is probably also very concerned."
Xiao Buyi said after a while: "Could it be that Song Zixian is really a person from Taiping Dao?" He felt that Pei Mingcui was a bit of a pun, but he didn't want to hide the three words Taiping Dao, because he knew that Pei Mingcui might be stupid, but he was definitely not stupid.
Sometimes it's better to be honest with smart people.
Pei Mingcui nodded, "Taiping Dao has always been a big rebel since Zhang Jiao was founded. With the subversion of the imperial court as their responsibility, there are many rebellions, and they have been surrounded and suppressed by those in power for generations, and they cannot survive, and often do not call themselves Taipingdao, but change their methods to confuse the people. Using Maitreya as a method to confuse the people is actually a change in the Taiping Dao, I want to hear this, Brother Xiao should know that this attack is not to frame the Taiping Dao, but it is very likely that they did it! ”
