As the body in his arms gradually became colder, Xuzi's heart sank little by little. "Erya! Erya, don't sleep, I'll go to order! He cried out loudly, hoping to awaken the reluctant eyes, but the man in his arms did not respond.

"Erya, wait a minute, I haven't started yet?" Li Xu couldn't bear it anymore, and whimpered against his wife's face. Less than thirty and marquis, invincible generals in a million armies, a rich life, a caring wife, and a child who is about to be born, happiness was once so close to him that it was almost within reach. But the moment he stretched out his finger, everything suddenly shattered, and the person was covered in blood.

There was a loud thunder outside the curtain, and God seemed to be angry, trying to split the filthy world in front of him into powder. After the lightning passed, the dirty world was still the same, only the muddy water flowing on the ground was a little redder, like blood dripping from people's hearts.

Li Xu pinched his thigh hard, hoping that everything that happened in front of him was not the truth. The sharp pain clearly told him that he was not in a dream at the moment. "Tell me, tell me, what the hell are you going to do!" He stood up and shouted at the Lord of the Underworld, but only Xiao Xiaofeng and Rain answered him.

There may be gods in this world, but they are all asleep. As for the sorrow of the world, they don't want to care, and they can't care about it.

I don't know how long it took, Li Xu slowly calmed down, knelt down again, and gently tore his wife's clothes with his hands. He remembered that Erya was a person who loved cleanliness, and although she didn't like luxury, she would be neatly dressed and with the strap on her head. She likes an ebony pearl step shake, which is a gift from a foreign businessman, because there is only one payment, so in order to make Ling'er indisputable, she also got some small means at that time. Asahiko used her fingers to tie her hair, dried the water on her chest, and reinserted it back into her hair. Because she held the reins for a long time, her palms were stained with a lot of stains, and Xuzi used the corner of her clothes to dip in water to help her wash it clean, and gently put it back on her bulging lower abdomen. Her face was vaguely tear-stained, like petals that had been knocked off by the cold rain, and Xuzi lowered her head and kissed her softly with her lips, just like on a sunny morning, he had used this method to wake Erya up.

When he had done all this, he drew the curtain on the bed and turned and walked to the center of the tent. "Erya, I'm going to get together, you listen quietly, don't let anyone find out!" At the moment of turning back, Xu Zi told in his heart. Then straightened up and walked quickly to the back of the handsome case, "Beat the drum!" He shouted with all his might, and the sound pierced through the wind and rain and spread far away.

"Long-rumble-rumble!" The low sound of drums pierced the clouds and cracked the stones, and exploded with a bang. "Boom-boom-boom!" In the sky, countless lightning bolts and drums echo each other, unruly but not inferior. Immediately after, the sound of wind, rain, horses' hooves, and horns sounded at the same time, like a majestic song to break the array. When all the sounds fell, the heavens and the earth slowly returned to silence, only the dripping rain, diluting the red blood water, washing it away, and slowly turning into nothingness.

After the rain and sunshine, several small boats rushed to Yangzhou City along the official road that had just been opened for a few days. The Emperor of the Great Sui had just eaten a few new bakes and was about to take a nap at noon, when he suddenly heard the noise outside the dormitory, waved his hand impatiently, and scolded: "Didn't you say that you would find Pei Ju and Yu Shiji first for something, why did you send the song to me again." Drag this reckless guy to the gate of the palace and play twenty boards, so that he won't have a long memory next time! ”

"Yes!" The imperial guards said yes and hurried out. The cacophony stopped. A moment later, a vague piece of ancient music came from the depths of the Imperial Garden, and the people were unconsciously aware of it.

"Who's playing the piano over there, and seems to be very skillful?" Yang Guang leaned his body on the brocade collapse and asked in a daze.

"It's Jill. Of our children, she is the only one who loves these! Xiao, who was kneading her husband's shoulders, tilted her ears and listened, and replied with a smile.

"Well, the fingering is good, and the tone is accurate. It's Guanglingsan, this score is not suitable for her! Too sad, lack of vitality! Yang Guang listened for a moment and commented in a low voice. He has a very high attainment in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can basically achieve the point of "listening to strings and singing and knowing the elegant meaning". In his opinion, the sound of the piano should be suitable for the surrounding environment, and playing a swan song in such a bright daylight is obviously a little inappropriate, no wonder it always sounds like it is a little worse than the artistic conception, and it is difficult to resonate with people!

"Children, don't you like to pretend to be through all the vicissitudes of life!" Empress Xiao pursed her lips and smiled and interrupted. "Let her sex bullets go, our daughter, and don't expect to be better than those world-famous luthiers!"

"Also, how can our daughter play the piano for others. But when I heard the sound of the piano, I remembered one thing, Jill is thirteen this year, right? Yang Guang held back the sleepiness that came over him for a while, and asked without a word.

"I will be fourteen in the New Year, and when the concubine is as old as her, she has already worshiped His Majesty!" Empress Xiao knew what her husband was thinking, and responded with a smile. Those years of sharing joys and sorrows are like a jar of old wine, the longer it is placed, the warmer the aftertaste.

"I have a good candidate in my heart. Born a little colder, but he knows the cold and knows the warmth. It's not like Jiangdu's gang of guys, all of them are wolf-hearted dogs! Yang Guang yawned and said in a down-to-earth manner. He opened the river for me, and when the weather cools down, we can return to Luoyang safely. With such a great credit, I don't know how to reward him. You say, can you marry Jill to him? ”

"The person Your Majesty likes should not be wrong!" Seeing that Yang Guang was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, Empress Xiao stopped the movements of his hands and smiled perfunctorily.

She understands who her husband's Jackie Chan fast son-in-law is, and recently, almost everyone in the entire Eastern Capital has been talking about that name. With 4,000 cavalry, he fought for thousands of miles, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Wagang did not dare to turn back. Thousands of troops avoid the black flag, such a young hero is indeed worthy of his own Jill. It's just that this person was too bold, first opened the city management warehouse without authorization, and then unceremoniously distributed the land snatched back from the rogues to the meritorious county soldiers. It has only been a few days since the Tongji Canal and the official road were reopened, and two large baskets of folds sent from various places to impeach him have already been saved. If it weren't for His Majesty's orders, the relevant excerpts would have been ignored, and the courtiers wouldn't have known what kind of demons were going to be made!

"If you're free, when you're free, go and ask Jill what she means!" Yang Guang rolled over, and the sound of breathing slowly became even. After all, it was no longer the time of youth, and he was not strong enough to drink, and his face and neck were as red as cooked shrimp.

"Hmm!" Empress Xiao agreed softly, and then sighed softly. The person in front of him is a dutiful father and a husband who knows the cold and warm, although he may not be a good emperor. But how can there be a perfect man in the world? For women, knowing how to appreciate and pity themselves is the most important thing, and everything else can be ranked last.

Yang Guang on the bed seemed to be asleep, so he didn't hear his wife's sigh at all. After a while, the sound of soft snoring also sounded, up and down, and the people were disturbed to hear.

Empress Xiao slowly stood up and tiptoed to cover the brocade quilt for her husband. Although it was already early summer, the wind outside the curtain was still slightly cool. The husband's body bones were not as big as before, and a little wind chill was enough to knock him down. After contemplating Yang Guang's sleeping appearance for a moment, she gently walked towards the door of the dormitory, and several eunuchs who had been waiting there rushed forward and held up a large Huangluo umbrella with their hands and feet.

"Is the lady going to the garden?" A palace maid asked in a low voice.

"Don't go!" Empress Xiao shook her head, "Where did the messenger come from just now, and where did the guards take him to?" ”

"It's from Henan, and it seems to be in a hurry. Seeing that His Majesty was impatient, Commander Dugu led him to the court room to see Lord Yu! Several eunuchs also did their duty, and after a little thought, they gave a definite answer.

"Then let's go see Lord Yu and see what happened?" Empress Xiao thought about it and decided. She knew that Yu Shiji and Pei Ju liked to report good news and not bad news, and now the country was in danger, but they couldn't let their temperament mess around anymore.

As if she had a heart, before Empress Xiao could take a step, there was a rush of footsteps on the masonry road leading to the front hall. The two officials with crooked gauze hats and disheveled clothes stumbled and embarrassed as if their souls had been lost.

"Isn't that Lord Yu and Master Pei?" The eunuch on duty had a good look and recognized the identity of the person from a distance.

"Get a parasol for the two adults too!" Empress Xiao blocked the door of the dormitory with her body and ordered in a low voice. Judging from the demeanor of the two ministers, I am afraid that something earth-shattering has happened outside. But the husband had just fallen asleep and did not like it the most to be disturbed by others at this time.

Yu Shiji and Pei Ju also knew that they had come at the wrong time, so they didn't dare to rush directly into the dormitory. He made a gesture to Empress Xiao from afar, and while gasping, he shouted in a low voice: "The ministers have seen the queen!" Henan, something big is wrong in Henan! ”

"The two adults don't need to be polite. What is it that makes you so panicked, can't you just let it go and tell Your Majesty tomorrow? Xiao Hou asked in a low voice with a straight face.

"Li Zhongjian defeated the main force of Li Mi's Wagang Army five days ago and beheaded more than 20,000!" Yu Shiji took a few breaths and replied with a strong smile. "So the two of us want to tell Your Majesty about this happy event, and forget for a while that Your Majesty has the habit of taking a nap!"

"That's a good thing!" Empress Xiao's brows jumped, and her voice unconsciously raised a few points. She quickly glanced back into the room, saw through the sparse beaded curtains, saw that her husband was still asleep, hesitated for a moment, and pretended to be happy and ordered: "You two wait a little longer, and I will tell His Majesty when he wakes up." What he wants to know most these days is the result of the battle between General Li and the Wagang Thieves, and he will definitely summon you to ask for details! ”

"Yes, yes, but there were some accidents after this battle!" Yu Shiji's words began to stutter, and the expression on his face looked very embarrassed. Reporting good news first and then reporting bad news was a proud means he used to deal with Yang Guang, but after changing the object, the effect was 108,000 miles behind.

In order not to let Empress Xiao misunderstand that the two were deliberately fooling him, another master who was in charge of the court, Master Pei Ju, hurriedly took over the conversation, "The two urgent performances arrived at the same time, so I can only start playing together." If you are negligent, please bear with the queen! ”

"Tell me, what's the matter, could it be that General Li is injured?" An ominous premonition instantly surged into Empress Xiao's heart, forcibly suppressing the tension in her heart, and she asked in a trembling voice.

"No, it's not hurt!" Beads of sweat were rolling on Pei Ju's forehead, and he really didn't know how to express himself to make the news sound less shocking. "Li, there was some misunderstanding between General Li and Dongdu, and he didn't chase and kill the Wagang people......"

"When His Majesty wakes up, let him write a letter to mediate. It's just a few warehouses of grain, and so are Lord Duan, who want to make people work hard and not give people enough to eat! Empress Xiao shook her head with a smile and said with a somewhat dissatisfied tone.

Losing a tiger general for the sake of a few left-behind officials who twisted acid and vinegar will make a madman do such a boring thing. Pei and Yu are both veterans with many years of experience in auxiliary politics, and they actually endure the face of some people and do not deal with it. No wonder the world has become more and more chaotic in recent years, and the ministers of the pillars and stones are like this, so it's no wonder that they can govern the country well?

"No, it's not that simple!" Pei Ju, who had always been calm, was so anxious that he stomped his feet. Empress Xiao is smart and not as easy to fool as Yang Guang, so many words specially prepared for Yang Guang are useless at the moment.

"Do you dare to go against Your Majesty's will on the other side of the Eastern Capital?" Empress Xiao was annoyed by Pei Ju's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, and her voice gradually revealed anger in her questioning voice.

"No, it's not a violation!" Pei Ju lowered his head, not daring to meet the aggressive gaze on him. After muttering nonsense several times, he finally turned his heart sideways and whispered: "Niangniang Rong Laochen finish speaking!" The Eastern Capital misunderstood that General Li and Li Yuan's uncle and nephew colluded to rebel, so they opened the defense line around Tiger Prison and Xingyang, and put Xu Thief Maogong behind General Li. General Li had just finished a fight with the main force of Wagang, and when he found that he had been betrayed, he behaved in a fit of rage. As a result, he was flanked back and forth by Zhai Rang and Xu Maogong......."

"The end result? Didn't General Lee take cavalry with him? He turned his heart into the way back, how could the thief stop him? The afternoon sun suddenly became a little dazzling, and Queen Xiao shook back and forth, holding the shoulders of the palace maid, and barely stood firmly. Her husband had just mentioned this young man to her, but she didn't expect him to follow in the footsteps of the old general Zhang Xutuo so quickly. But this person is very cautious in the use of soldiers, how could his temperament suddenly change drastically?

A woman's intuition tells her that there must be something hidden in this. But expecting Pei Ju and Yu Shiji to tell the truth is tantamount to a fool's dream. Forcibly suppressing the suffocating heartbeat, Empress Xiao continued to ask, "Didn't he ask Guan Cheng and the Tiger Prison for help?" After asking for help, Wang Wei and Pei Renji did not respond. ”

"It was the Eastern Capital that issued an order ordering Wang Wei and Pei Renji to stand still and be ready to arrest General Li at any time. Therefore, General Li did not break through in the direction of Xingyang, but sent away the county soldiers first, and then went straight to the Yellow River crossing with his subordinates. On the edge of the ferry, he was entangled by the rogues, and the two sides fought fiercely for a day and a night. According to the performance of Lord Wang Bian, who stayed behind to manage the city, in the end, General Li was defeated, refused to be humiliated by the enemy, and jumped into the Yellow River with men and horses! ”

Where you can be confused, Pei Ju tries to say to the confusion. It is believed that the envoy privately revealed that it was the Eastern Capital that sent Duan Da, Liu Changgong and other important ministers to lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to block Li Xu's retreat, and the Wagang army took advantage of the situation to kill back, and the three-way soldiers and horses formed a siege of General Li. Seeing that the general situation had gone, General Li did not want the county soldiers to die in vain, so he took the initiative to give an order to the commanders of the county soldiers, asking them to take the county soldiers to return to their hometowns through the defense line of Duan Da and others. Subsequently, the 4,000 Boling cavalry were outnumbered and strangled by two Wagang armies on the south bank of the Yellow River.

But this cannot be said truthfully to His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise I don't know how many people will lose their heads. The deceased is gone, and more national pillars cannot be destroyed because of a loser who may no longer be alive.

"Oh my God!" Empress Xiao couldn't hold on any longer, and her whole person softened. In her husband's mouth, that young man was the last pillar of the Great Sui Dynasty, although he was also surnamed Li, which probably corresponded to the folk song of the peach and plum. But the husband and wife tried not to think about the bad side, and pinned their hopes for the revival of the court on this peerless brave general sent by God. I didn't expect that the people who stayed behind in the eastern capital would be so smart, so smart that they would destroy the Great Wall.

"Has anyone seen the body? Or did the Wagang Army claim ransom with corpses? How much it costs, I'll come out. Send men down to answer you. Being supported by the two palace maids, Queen Xiao still felt that her legs and feet were weak. Wiping away tears, she asked incoherently.

"No body has been found so far, and it rained too much in those two days, and it is estimated that it was washed away by the river! Other information is not accurate, and the ministers have ordered the local officials and the overseers to write a new detailed note, clearly stating the cause and final outcome of the matter, and no one is to deliberately conceal it! General Li's posthumous affairs were also discussed by the ministers and others. According to General Zhang's precedent, he will never treat his family badly! Lest he be implicated, Yu Shiji hurriedly added beside him. He believed that the Eastern Capital would give a reasonable answer, and he was willing to give Li Xu an enviable posthumous mourning.

As long as he can fool the current level in front of him, he and Pei Ju have even discussed catching two scapegoats just now, so as not to implicate this matter too widely.

"When the people are gone, what's the use of investigating the truth? What's the use of being a high-ranking official? Will he be able to come back to life? Or is it to stuff the mouth of the world? Empress Xiao covered her face with her hands and asked in a choked voice.

She could probably guess that the young man was too upright and too kind. Always wishful thinking to put everyone in the good for it. But I don't understand that this officialdom is the dirtiest in time, and those who can't be the same as the light and dust will only end up in destruction!

"Mother, take care!" Pei Ju and Yu Shiji hurriedly took half a step back, looking at their noses and noses, so as not to see more embarrassing scenes.

To the surprise of the two of them, after experiencing the initial weakness, Empress Xiao quickly calmed down. "Is that all?" She wiped the tears from her cheeks and asked the two ministers with a sneer.

"That's all, that's all. The ministers don't know whether to let Your Majesty know, Your Majesty knows? Pei Ju and Yu Shiji were stared at by Empress Xiao and felt a chill down their spines, lowered their heads, and replied weakly.

"Still, don't let Your Majesty know! Anyway, it's already in such a field! Besides, you've already hidden so much from him, so why don't you hide one more! Empress Xiao smiled and ordered. The expression on his face suddenly became relaxed, as if he had an epiphany, and instantly let go of all the burdens in his heart.

"But, but it's up to the mother!" Pei Ju and Yu Shiji looked at each other, and then couldn't wait to answer. A piece of news that makes people scatter can be confused so easily, if you know this, why should you scare yourself half to death!

"Your Majesty has just fallen asleep, so go and take care of other things. When he wakes up, he will summon you! Empress Xiao looked back at Yang Guang in a drunken dream, and said with a smile.

"Obey your orders!" Pei Ju and Yu Shiji also glanced at the dormitory with a weak heart, and bowed down to answer.

Looking at the figures of the two humerus and cang, Queen Xiao stood stunned for a moment, and then slowly turned back to the palace. There was no need to ask Jill anymore, the person her husband valued was no longer alive. This once prosperous Great Sui Dynasty will soon fall like a Qionghua in the garden. Now that the end is already vaguely visible, it is better to be confused with His Majesty until the end of the road than to endure the torture soberly.

"Is there something going on out there?" Yang Guang on the dragon bed turned over and asked in a muttered voice.

"It's okay, the flowers in the garden have fallen!" Empress Xiao smiled and replied in a low voice.

"Well, it's okay! You can rest for a while, too. Don't worry too much, your body will be exhausted! With his back to his wife, Yang Guang told him like a dream. With the moment of yawning, he gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands.

————————————————— Epilogue——————————

The April day, like the face of the superior, no one can predict when it will be cloudy and when it will be clear. This kind of lightning and thunder is the most annoying, especially when the mind is restless. Xiao Huaijing, the overseer of the imperial army, held a pen in his hand and sat in the study and groaned. The ink on the inkstone was almost condensed, but a piece of music was written and rubbed and rubbed, rubbed and written, and I couldn't think of the appropriate wording for a long time.

"Anyway, the one surnamed Li has already been defeated and died, no matter how fooled he is, no one will stand up for him!" Looking at the lightning bolts that kept smashing at the window, he said to himself that he was emboldened. But the left and right eyelids kept jumping, and I was also panicked in my heart, as if I felt that something big was going to happen today.

What else could happen? The opponent is nothing more than a reckless man. He and the adults in the Eastern Capital just moved their mouths to get rid of him. Although it is better to let Li Mi make a big profit, it is better than watching him challenge the bottom limit of everyone. Besides, there are so many generals who can fight, after Yan Zi Ertao killed the three soldiers, didn't General Sima hold up half the sky in the Qi State?

Reckless, at the last moment, there is still a reckless man with the kindness of a woman. Thinking of the dangerous situation that day, Xiao Huaijing still has palpitations. More than 40,000 soldiers turned around from the front line and headed west, and everyone thought they had stabbed a hornet's nest. Unexpectedly, the county soldiers just went back to their own homes, and the surnamed Li didn't have the courage to rebel at all!

Since he didn't rebel in the end, he couldn't be fooled by far-fetched words about his bad intentions. It's better to give all the "credit" to the Wagang Army. Thinking of this, Xiao Huaijing finally made up her mind. In this case, Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin don't have to be locked up in the prison, and they are promised some benefits, and the two local generals who are not in the stream are still grateful for their kindness in rehabilitating Zhaoxue. A military general, it should be a sword in the hands of a literati, where it is pointed, it will be slashed wherever it is pointed, and it is most taboo to think about what you want to do.

"What is Lord Xiao busy with?" A greeting came from the door, interrupting Xiao Huaijing's thoughts, and when he raised his head, he saw Pei Renji slowly pacing into the study.

"I'm thinking about the twist and turn for Jiangdu. Pei and Yu asked General Li if he had any objections, and I couldn't answer them very well! Xiao Huaijing glanced up at Pei Renji, the general of the Tiger Prison Guard, and then focused his mind on the fold.

"Didn't Lord Xiao say that day that he had conclusive evidence in his hand to prove the rebellion of the surnamed Li? Isn't it okay to just go directly to the East? Why bother? Pei Renji looked at the pile of scrapped papers next to the bookcase, and asked in surprise.

"On that day, I was also forced by the Eastern Capital that day, so I had to say that. But now it seems that His Royal Highness King Yue may have misbelieved the rumors! Xiao Huaijing frowned and said.

He is most annoying to others, which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned! This matter originally had nothing to do with the surname Pei, but this person had a lot of right and wrong. On the same day, when he ordered the door to be sealed and closed, and sent troops to arrest Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin to prevent leakage of news, this person was a little delayed. If it weren't for Lord Duan's preparation in advance, he specially sent a handwritten letter and an edict from His Royal Highness King Yue, maybe a perfect plan would have been broken in the hands of the surname Pei.

"Oh, it turns out that whether it's against or not, it's all in the adult's mouth!" Pei Renji didn't have the slightest sense of not being annoying, and the words he said made Xiao Huaijing sound breathless.

"What do you mean by Master Pei!" Xiao Huaijing didn't like Pei Renji, threw the pen to the case, and asked sharply.

He is the prince of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the hardness of the background is one of the best in the entire imperial court, and he is not afraid of offending a distant son of the Pei family. Besides, the power of the supervising army is already greater than that of the main general, and the two sides really turned their faces, and in the end, the person surnamed Pei will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

On weekdays, as long as Xiao Jianjun prick his eyes, Pei Tongshou will definitely swallow his anger. Who knew that everything was wrong today. Hearing the other party's angry shouts, Pei Renji, who is known as a nest, instead of backing down, took a few steps forward, stood in front of Lord Jian Jun and sneered: "I also received a secret report that Lord Xiao deliberately rebelled!" ”

"You, you bloody mouth!" Xiao Huaijing was taken aback by Pei Renji's actions, leaned back against the wall, and shouted.

"Don't worry, after Lord Xiao dies, I will also go to Jiangdu and state that this is a misunderstanding!" Pei Renji smiled and pulled out the horizontal knife, sweeping up a piece of red blood light.

Red blood flowed all over the room.

Taiyuan, Tang Gongfu. After disposing of the two Sui generals sent by the imperial court, Wang Wei and Gao Junya, everyone let out a long sigh. Everything is already in place, as long as Jiancheng and Wan'er and others return to Taiyuan, the Li family can give it a go. Although the price paid for this day is a bit big, the opportunity to turn a family into a country has come at the moment after all!

There are also people with solemn expressions, and Tang Gong Li Yuan's confidant Liu Hongji is one of them. After dealing with the aftermath, he pulled his second son, Li Shimin, aside, mysteriously not knowing what to mutter. Maybe there was some misunderstanding, and the two finally argued, and their voices became louder and louder.

"If the second son plays well, isn't he afraid of leaving infamy in the history?" Suddenly, a word spread in the wind and penetrated the ears of all eavesdropping.

"In the future, history will be written by you and me!" Li Shimin turned around with a smile and strode away.

The end of the sixth volume of "Guangling San".

Alcoholic's Note: Whether or not to open the seventh volume, well, it's a very difficult thing to decide.
