Chapter 21: The King's Decree
Chen Liehu sat on the chariot, somehow itched his nose and sneezed.
"Boss." The adjutant general beside him hurriedly asked, "It's windy here, let's go back to the camp." β
Chen Liehu displeased him and dismissed him.
"What's the wind, I'm not a girl." He said, look at the front and back, this is the first line of defense outside the capital, and a husband should be closed, "It's all guarded for me, from now on martial law inside and outside, a fly is also-"
"Master Taifu!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a soldier hurried over and interrupted him, presenting a piece of paper.
"The scouts found these things thrown on the road in the fields and towns from the front, saying that the king had asked for peace with the emperor, and that the emperor was coming to see the king."
In fact, when they were soldiers and horses, when they were transmitting and receiving the military information from the front, they had already heard such words, but they didn't really take it seriously, and at this time, there were also words on the side of the national capital, and they were also written in black and white - the three of them became tigers, and the soldiers and generals here couldn't help but look worried.
"Is that really the case?"
"The king is already going to make peace with the emperor?"
"Then wouldn't it be a rebellion against the imperial court to fight with the soldiers and horses?"
The reason why they dared to confront the imperial court soldiers and horses was because the emperor first wanted to seize the fiefdom of King Wu, and then framed King Wu for rebellion, and the soldiers wanted to kill King Wu, King Wu was the prince of Emperor Gaozu, and the emperor could not dispose of it at will, which was an act of injustice, injustice and immorality.
But if the king of Wu wants to welcome the emperor into the land of Wu, and they make a move against the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, it will be a rebellion.
For a while, inquiries and discussions arose.
Chen Liehu took it with one hand and didn't look at it three times or two times and tore it apart: "This is a rumor, confusing my army and people!" He stood up, his long knife pointing forward, "The court has all kinds of tricks, as long as the soldiers and horses step into my Wu land, they have bad intentions, with me Chen Liehu here, don't succeed!" Generals dare to kill me! β
With Mrs. Chen in front, they had no fear, and the soldiers around them raised their swords in unison and shouted: "Kill the enemy!" β
"Master Taifu! Master Taifu! In the midst of the jubilation, a messenger galloped forward and shouted, "The king has an order to send a messenger to welcome the emperor into the country." β
The hustle and bustle suddenly stopped, everyone looked stunned, Chen Liehu stood up from the marching car in the crowd, disdainful and sneered: "Which one bewitched the king?" Wait for me to see the kingβ"
He stopped suddenly before he finished speaking, because he saw a group of people walking in front of him, it was the forbidden army of the palace surrounded by a eunuch, strange, why is there a woman next to the eunuch, this woman is still very familiar?
"Azhu." He shouted, "You're here for me? β
Chen Danzhu wrapped his cloak and rode on the horse, although he was reluctant, he still walked in front of his father step by step, lowered his head and responded: "Yes." β
Chen Liehu said helplessly: "Let you be at home, just come, if you want to come to the barracks, come here." Then he smiled and introduced to the generals around him, "You still know it, this is my little girl, that is, she went to kill Li Liang." β
The generals are no strangers to Chen Danzhu, Chen Danzhu often followed Chen Danyang to the army to play when he was a child, riding a horse and shooting arrows, but no one cared at the time, after all, it was a girl, riding a horse and archery was all fun, the Chen family had the eldest son Chen Danyang, I didn't expect Chen Danyang to die suddenly, this little girl almost single-handedly went to the front line to kill Li Liang.
Tiger father has no dog girl! Everyone greeted the second lady one after another, Chen Liehu showed a rare smile on the side, after Chen Danyang passed away, although he did not grieve in front of outsiders, he almost never smiled.
Chen Danzhu couldn't bear to see her father's face, and her next words were to pierce her father's chest like a knife.
"Father." She lowered her head and said with difficulty, "I am ordered by the king to pick up Your Majesty." β
The surroundings fell silent, and the generals looked stunned again, in disbelief.
Chen Liehu felt that his ears were buzzing, and he couldn't hear anything clearly, what strange words did he hear.
"What are you talking about?" He frowned and said, "Since you're worried and don't want to be at home, just follow me, come here." β
Chen Danzhu shook his head: "Father, the details of this matter, I'll tell you later, now that time is pressing, my daughter has to hurry first-"
Chen Liehu suddenly raised his voice: "Chen Danzhu, get here!" The knife in his hand was horizontal in front of him, "Do you want to disobey your father?" β
She knew her father's mood now, but she really couldn't go over, even if her father was furious, even if he didn't really hack her to death with a knife, he would definitely arrest her, and her sister was tied up by her father and sent to prison, and then thrown to death by the king in front of the city gate, and those old tribesmen had no chance to save if they wanted to save it-
She's never been afraid of death, she just can't die yet.
Chen Danzhu took a deep breath, raised his head, and raised the royal order: "Father, do you want to disobey the royal order?" β
Father is willing to die for King Wu, even if he is wronged and wronged, as long as King Wu lets him die, he will die without regret, in this case, what if King Wu does not let him die? Will he still disobey the king's command and die?
Chen Danzhu held the royal order, looking at his father's shocked and sad and disappointed face, his heart shrank into a ball - father, it's not your daughter who stops your loyalty to King Wu, it's true, King Wu doesn't need your loyalty.
"The king has an order and orders me to go and meet the Son of Heaven." Chen Danzhu shouted, looking at the soldiers stationed here, "You dare to disobey the king's order?" β
Let's talk about urging horses.
"Forward!"
The generals didn't dare to stop it, or they were still in shock, and watched Chen Danzhu gallop past with the guards and eunuchs.
Chen Liehu stood on the military vehicle with a knife in his hand, his hands and body were trembling violently, he couldn't understand, what was going on, what happened? His daughter, how could sheβ
This is impossible, to ask clearly, he took a sharp step forward, lame and stepped into the air, and the person fell to the ground like a mountain.
"Taifu!"
The soldiers surrounded and exclaimed, and the housekeeper who rushed over at this time also shouted that the old man rushed over with red eyes, hugged Chen Liehu on the ground, and then looked at Chen Danzhu who was gone in the distance.
He finally understood why the second lady was in a hurry to call him, and asked the doctor to take him, God, the old man was going to be in pain.
The dust and smoke were billowing behind her, and there was a shout, Chen Danzhu's face was pale without a trace of blood, and she didn't look back.
"Miss." Ah Tian followed her closely, her voice trembling, "Master, he'll be fine." β
Chen Danzhu said: "The housekeeper will take care of him." β
Now my father's body is fine, but it hurts my heart - last time my father died and died, this time my heart died first, and my body is not dead, but whether my body dies or not depends on whether what she does next can be successful.
There is still a difficulty ahead of her, so that the emperor does not bring soldiers and horses into Wu.
After galloping for a few days and nights, Chen Danzhu came to Tangyi again, and there was no longer Li Liang in the camp to greet her, but there were still acquaintances.
Dr. Wang wore a messenger's dress and smiled at her: "Miss Danzhu, I'm so happy to see you again." β
Chen Danzhu saluted him back: "My king is under the edict of the Son of Heaven, please ask Your Majesty to enter Wu to investigate the assassins in person." β
Doctor Wang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is also preparing to cross the river, Miss Danzhu, please go with Your Majesty." β
Chen Danzhu said slowly: "Your Majesty enters my Wu land, and you can't bring soldiers and horses, which is the way to see your brothers and princes." β
The smile on Dr. Wang's face disappeared.
"Miss Danju! Do you know what you're talking about? He looked stunned, immediately lost his smile, and approached Chen Danzhu and whispered, "You should know best that at this moment, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court should have galloped in the land of Wu, using swords to discuss the way of kings and ministers with King Wu." β
He looked at Chen Danzhu and described it as getting colder.
"Are you crazy, or does King Wu not want to live anymore?"
