Chapter 132: The Emperor Dies
The fat old man who was dragged out from behind the dragon chair by General Yuan like a rat once strangled his Yuan concubine to death with his own hands, calculated his own pair of children, scourged countless girls, was poor and luxurious for decades, selfish and greedy, fishy, insidious and tyrannical...... Such a scumbag deserves to die 10,000 times!
The sword in my hand pointed at Gu Zhengxi, but he didn't stab it several times, he was Gu Tianba - the biological father of my body, even if all his care and love for me was a false feeling, but at that time I really felt the taste of being loved by my father - the father's love that I longed for and even fantasized about since I was a child!
If you don't kill him, I don't know what kind of moth he will make one day, not to mention the loss of money and money, and the loss of so many innocent soldiers and even ordinary people.
When he hesitated, he saw a golden long sword suddenly plunged into Gu Zhengxi's chest - it was Xuanyuan Che's sword!
Xuanyuan Che's hand holding the sword exerted force again, and the sword body penetrated Gu Zhengxi's body and emerged from his back. After making sure that Gu Zhengxi was dead, Xuanyuan Che abandoned his sword and knelt at the feet of Lin Muyu, raised his hand to increase his forehead, and did not stand up straight again after bowing: "If you don't assassinate the emperor, the crime is unforgivable, please give death to Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”
Everyone looked at Xuanyuan Che in surprise, and then it was a long wait, waiting for my decision!
"Xuanyuan Che, what are you doing!"
Xuanyuan Che said calmly: "Your Highness, you need to give an explanation to the people of the world. ”
"In this world, no one can do anything to me!"
"But you are Princess Chaolu, the Princess of Tianyuguo, and the princess of Chaolu, who is loved by all the people!"
"Because I am the princess of Tianyu Kingdom, I can't be the rebel who killed my own father, so you killed Gu Zhengxi for me, right?" I stretched out my hand to pull Xuanyuan Che on the ground, but he was firmly motionless, I was anxious, and said: "But you are my comrade-in-arms who shares life and death, even you can't keep it, and I can't explain it to the people of the world." ”
Murong Xingye knew that it was impossible for Lin Muyu to punish Xuanyuan Che, but the crime of killing the monarch was unforgivable, and if the stalemate continued, it would be true. It's better to lock up Xuanyuan Che first, block the mouth of the Youyou, and then find a chance to pardon his capital crime.
Before Lin Taiyu announced his decision to the public, Murong Xingye hurriedly ordered the guards: "Put Xuanyuan Che in the heavenly prison!"
"Wait!" I shouted, turned to face everyone, and said slowly: "The queen Ruan's fox charmed the lord, framed the grandson, poisoned the emperor, gave Bai Aya a piece, and her son Gu Tianhao abolished the crown prince and sold it as a concubine." ”
"You turn black and white upside down! This palace fought with you...... "Since both horizontal and vertical are dead, Ruan Hongshao is also out of the way, and she gets up from the ground like a shrew and pounces on Lin Muyu.
I signaled that everyone didn't have to block it, and dodged easily, Ruan Hongshao fell to the ground with a flutter, I sighed, squatted down and laughed in her ear: "Ruan Hou Bingxue is smart and should understand that I will not cause criticism for any reason to treat you with the death penalty, because you are the same as Gu Zhengxi, damn it!" ”
"Becoming a king and defeating a king, looking at Tianyuguo, no one can really move you, die, this palace recognizes it! But don't forget, there is not only Tianyu in this world, but also Xiliang and Fengqi, one day, they will expose you to murder the emperor, frame the palace, and cause chaos in the court, along with all your ugly things! ”
"You think I care!" I continued to laugh: "I am worthy of the ancestors of heaven and earth, worthy of the lives of the people of Li, the country in front of me is splendid, and I am worthy of my heart behind me!" ”
"But you are also an example for all the people, and you don't want the people of Tianyu to follow you as a fatherless and kingless!"
"That's right! So......" I got up and announced to everyone: "The Holy One has passed away, the whole country mourns, the court is suspended for three days, and the country mourns for half a year!" ”
"Your Highness, no!" After General Yuan shouted, he realized that this move was inappropriate, and he hurriedly lowered his voice before continuing: "During the national funeral, it is forbidden to feast and marry wars, and the Tianyu army in Xiliang will also withdraw to the Hanging Moon Pass, but the territory that hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Tianyu fought hard and fought bloodily will be returned to Xiliang State like this?" According to the general, the emperor's death can be kept secret first, and when Xiliang is included in my Tianyu country, it will not be too late to tell the world about it......"
"Not necessarily!" I said to General Yuan: "Banning war is not a retreat. The territory laid by my Tianyu soldiers is the land of my Tianyu country, and my Tianyu soldiers are stationed on the land of my Tianyu country, which is justified! ”
"Yesterday's battle report, General Huyan has invaded the Xiliang Imperial City, Xuanyuan Ye was forced to retreat to the palace, and urgently ordered the prince Xuanyuan Lie to lead the army to relieve the siege, Xuanyuan Lie is a genius with soldiers, if there is a truce at this time, General Huyan is bound to meet Xuanyuan Lie head-on, I am afraid that he will suffer a big loss!"
"The news of this national funeral spread from Tianyu Kingdom to Xiliang Imperial City, all the way is far away and bumpy, not to mention half a moon, half a moon! General Huyan is afraid that he has already converted the Xiliang Palace into a camp for soldiers. Xuanyuan Lie is here to relieve the siege of the imperial city this time, since there is no siege to solve, he will not waste his troops to fight with General Huyan. ”
"Xiliang has deployed heavy troops in the south, west, and north in order to prevent Fengqi, and the eastern defense line is relatively weak, and my Tianyu army has only attacked the Xiliang Imperial City in just a few months. But if Xuanyuan can successfully escape from the imperial city, and then mobilize troops and horses, he can make a comeback and fight back with my expeditionary army. In case our army is caught off guard and driven out of Xiliang, Xuanyuan Ye will continue the eastward crusade in one go, and at that time, my Tianyu Kingdom may be damaged! ”
"The key to Xiliang is not Xuanyuan Ye, but Prince Xuanyuan Lie! If he really wanted to go on a crusade, why wait until now? "Five years ago, Tianyuguo was vulnerable to the menacing Xiliang Kingdom, he didn't start, over the years, Xiliang's several use of troops against Tianyu were Xuanyuan Ye's unauthorized assertion, Xuanyuan Lie's ambition is not the world, and he does not want to be the enemy of Xuanyuan Che's loyal Tianyuguo, but he can't go against Xuanyuan's will, and the result of hesitation is just passive obedience, trying his best, but he has no intention!
General Yuan continued to ask, "But what if Xuanyuan Ye forced Xuanyuan Lie to go east? ”
"He's not available!" I smiled and said: "As early as when Tianyu marched into Xiliang, I agreed with Xiao Qingyu to send troops to carve up Xiliang at the same time, and the place where the armies of the two countries met was the new border between the two countries. ”
Although the land of Xiliang is less than half of Tianyu, there are millions of soldiers, and Tianyu can eat but may not be able to fight, so I can only choose to join forces with Xiao Qingyu! In the face of a two-sided strong enemy, Xuanyuan Lie chose to lead his troops west to meet Fengqi instead of sitting in the imperial city to strategize, seemingly taking the lead in fighting against the old enemy, but in fact it was just resigned to fate, just like that year he lay on the cold snow after fighting with the wolves, and continued to live if he didn't freeze to death on the second day, and he froze to death, and he was relieved.
And I, every time I think of the bloody man covered in wounds, lying so calmly in the snow, a kind of indescribable sympathy, pitiful, or sympathetic desolation blocked in my chest, and I felt uncomfortable,
Everyone dispersed, Xuanyuan Che retreated behind Lin Muyu, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness doesn't want Gu Zhengxi's corpse to stink in the palace, so he doesn't agree to keep this matter a secret!" ”
"Well," I nodded: "Anyway, it's also Gu Tianba's father, I don't want him to go too undignified." ”
Xuanyuan Che gave Lin Muyu a slight squeeze, in the past five years, she seems to have become more and more domineering and cold, but Xuanyuan Che knows that her heart has never changed, and she is still so delicate and soft.
Mo Qian and General Wu triumphed almost at the same time, and the rebels who were brought back by the alliance leader Shanzhuang were just in time to repair the embankment of the Canghe River. And Qiu Yun helped to abuse and mutilate fellow martial artists, hoodwink the people to raise troops, and kill Yun Chengman...... The sin is unforgivable, Ling Chi was executed, and the corpse was violently corpsed for seven days!
"Aunt Huang, the Taishi said that when people die, they don't know anything, and then Qiu Yun is dead and his body is in the downtown area, and he doesn't feel ashamed, why do you want to do this?"
"This is to be a warning to the living!" I squatted down, touched Cao'er's head, and told him: "Cao'er, you have to remember that bad people can never be killed, and blind benevolence and tolerance will only tolerate and nurture adultery." For the way of kings, we must reward the good and punish the evil, and grace and power go hand in hand. When necessary, the killing must be decisive ......"
Three days later, Cao'er succeeded to the throne, granted amnesty to the world, and at the same time posthumously crowned Mu Yu as the Empress Dowager Chun'an, and I became the first eldest princess in the history of Tianyuguo. There is no era name here, so the year of Cao'er's accession to the throne is recorded as the thirtieth year of Tianyu.
In the third month of the national mourning, a miasma suddenly started in the city, starting with a caravan from the south suddenly falling ill at the inn, after that, the whole inn began to have headaches and fatigue, sore limbs, and bloodless faces, and then the whole body was as cold as winter, and when the cold faded, the body temperature rose rapidly, the whole body convulsed, vomited and even unconscious, and finally all the organs were damaged, and their lives were on the verge of death.
Miasma is mostly transmitted through mosquito bites and spreads very quickly. People who are infected with miasma have seizures every two or three days, and it takes six or seven times to almost save a life.
I hurriedly made thousands of mosquito nets and wormwood overnight and distributed them to the people in the city, but more and more people were still infected with miasma, and the only ice lotus core that can cure miasma only grows in the deep mountains of the chieftain, because of the long distance and the lack of use, so there is no such medicine in the city's medicine shops.
I set up a quarantine area in the exercise ground in the city, and concentrated all the infected people for treatment in case they passed on to others, and ordered the city gate to be closed, because no one is sure whether the people who are not sick are also infected with miasma, but once the epidemic spreads outward, it may affect the entire Tianyu and even the Fengxun Continent!
However, the patients in the quarantine area were afraid that the imperial court would burn them all to death as it had done with infectious patients, and those outside the quarantine area were afraid that if they continued to stay in the city, they would catch a miasma, and everyone wanted to leave the city. After a fruitless confrontation with the defenders, they rushed to the palace and surrounded the palace gates. And the person I sent to purchase the Ice Lotus Core didn't have any news.
Standing on the high palace wall, facing the noisy crowd, and the scorching sun overhead, I suddenly felt a kind of exhaustion, really tired......
