Chapter 123: Pacification (End)

Previous Chapter

Li Congxin heard that Gu Huanyi was coming, so he rushed back early.

When he entered the door, Hu Shen hurriedly told him that Miss Gu knew about Yang Xin's death.

Li Congxin nodded, asked Hu Shen to step back, and spoke to Gu Huanyi alone.

Gu Huanyi saw him come in, and said a little anxiously: "Yang Xin has been exposed, he has been shocked, and now the Beiyi royal family and the emperor are in danger, what are you going to do?" ”

Li Congxin was a little helpless, and said: "I didn't plan to tell you, but I didn't expect to leak the news, you must be able to guess that King Xian is in a desperate situation, and he may have to turn around." ”

Although he guessed, he really heard Li Congxin say that King Xian was going to rebel, and Gu Huanyi was still very flustered.

Gu Huanyi's heart was raised high, and he said, "Then do you still go to the imperial tomb?" What if King Xian takes the opportunity to rebel? ”

Li Congxin said: "The trip to the imperial tomb is a bureau for King Xian. ”

He told Gu Huanyi about the emperor's plan: "The emperor deliberately exposed his flaws to give King Xian a chance to rebel, and see if King Xian can hold back, if he insists on fighting to the death, then the emperor doesn't have to worry about brotherhood when dealing with him." ”

Gu Huanyi asked, "But how can you ensure the emperor's safety?" The forbidden army is less than 10,000 people. ”

Li Congxin said: "If King Xian really rebelled, in order not to reveal his whereabouts, it was impossible to directly fall into the army, and he would send more than 1,000 advance troops to trap the emperor in the imperial tomb or capture the emperor alive, and then throw the army to capture the capital and the palace." It was enough for the forbidden army and the Jinyi guards of the East and West Second Factory to protect the emperor's safety for a while, and the emperor wrote another secret decree and secretly transferred the Jiaodong Army and the Liangzhou Army to help. ”

The Jiaodong Army is the garrison of King Ming's domain, Gu Huanyi doesn't have to worry, but the Liangzhou Army has become a mixed bag, and she and her brother were assassinated by the Liangzhou Army before, how can they be trusted? What should I do if there is a leak?

Li Congxin listened to the worry and said a little apologetically: "I didn't want you to worry before, so I didn't tell you that the person who accepted the secret order to go to Liangzhou to transfer troops this time was your brother." ”

Gu Huanyi was stunned, and then suddenly realized, no wonder Li Congxin supported Gu Jiayi to go back to Liangzhou alone before, and refused to let her go back, it turned out that she had another task!

Li Congxin said in detail: "As early as when Li Hongye attacked the Goddess Mountain, he was assassinated by a killer of unknown origin, but fortunately my uncle rescued him and escaped the catastrophe. King Xian didn't want the Beiyi people to fall into our hands, and if he couldn't stop it, he would definitely block the team that escorted the Beiyi royal family into Beijing, so I asked Zheng Qing to secretly bring someone to help. And your brother also returned to Liangzhou in the name of worshipping his ancestors, and transferred troops into Beijing with secret decrees and tiger talismans. ”

Gu Huanyi stammered, "You ...... You three, hide it from me together! ”

Afraid that she would be angry, Li Congxin hurriedly said: "As soon as this matter is related to the country, non-participants don't know about it, and the emperor didn't even say anything about the queen." Second, your brother and I don't want you to be fearlessly worried. We have discussed this matter for a long time, and we have made full preparations and back-ups, and there will be no risk. ”

That being said, but where can Gu Huanyi not be worried?

Her two most important people are going to go to the battlefield without her!

Li Congxin coaxed for a while, but fortunately, Gu Huanyi knew that this was not the time to play petty, and he didn't make much trouble.

Since she knew that something big was going to happen, then she had to make some preparations.

On the Qingming Festival, the Song family also wants to open an ancestral hall to worship, although she is not a member of the Song family, but as a relative, she can watch the ceremony.

She moved to the Song family in advance to live with her little aunt, and arranged for the people of Weifengtang and the Cao Gang to increase guards around the Song Mansion in case the rebels rose up and there was any chaos in the capital.

Although Song Zhengrui didn't know what was going to happen, seeing that his niece was waiting for him, he also had some premonitions, so he ordered the shopkeepers who were going to go to the Song family to pay tribute to the old club.

Three days before the Qingming Festival, the emperor's ceremonial drive set off from the imperial city to the imperial mausoleum, and the people in the capital were greeted by the road, and Gu Huanyi also went quietly, she wanted to see Li Congxin a few more times.

Although she believed that Li Congxin and the emperor's plan was foolproof, how could she not worry about such a thing as war?

She looked at Li Congxin, who was riding a tall horse and accompanying the emperor's drive, and couldn't help but redden, it turned out that every time her mother sent her father on the expedition, was she so reluctant and uneasy?

Li Congxin seemed to be aware of it, and saw Gu Huanyi in the vast sea of people.

Seeing that she was wiping away her tears, he frowned, he only hoped that the traitor would be destroyed as soon as possible, and the world would be peaceful and prosperous, so that she would no longer be so frightened.

The next night, on the eve of the Qingming Festival, the Imperial Tomb passed the book quickly, and sent it to the hands of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet of the Golden Pavilion Elders, saying that the emperor met the mutiny of the Tomb Guards in the Imperial Tomb and was trapped in the Imperial Tomb Palace.

Seeing that King Xian had rebelled, the elder of the Golden Pavilion immediately asked the Marquis of Fen to bring the five battalions of the Gyeonggi army and the 1,000 Dongchang Jinyi guards to help.

In addition, the forbidden army was arranged to close the palace gate and strictly guard it.

At the same time, the twelve gates of the imperial capital were closed, and the city defense battalion patrolled the streets of the capital day and night.

There has been such a big change, and the people of the capital are panicking.

In the Song family, Mrs. Song knew the reason why Gu Huanyi moved in with them and sent more nursing homes, and couldn't help but say "Amitabha" a few times, praying for the safe return of the emperor and the prince of Ming.

Gu Huanyi's room was lit day and night, and she couldn't find any news at the moment, so she could only wait quietly for the wind and rain to stop.

On the third day after the mutiny in the Imperial Tomb, King Ming led the Jiaodong Army to the Imperial Tomb and worked with the Marquis of Fen to rescue the trapped emperor.

And Gu Jiayi and Cheng Zhi led the Liangzhou army to the south to block the Eastern Wu army that was plotting rebellion in the north.

On the day when King Ming and Marquis Fen escorted the emperor back to the palace, Li Congxin sent Hu Shen to Song's house to report Gu Huanyi's safety as soon as possible.

Hearing that everything was going as smoothly as they planned, Gu Huanyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Right now, as long as you wait for your brother to arrest the traitor, King Xian will be able to avenge his father and Gu Jiajun!

Gu Huanyi asked Hu Shen with some concern: "The prince is not injured, right?" ”

Hu Shen said: "The prince is strong in martial arts and has not been injured. ”

Gu Huanyi said: "You can't hide it from me anymore, if he is fine, why don't you come to see me yourself?" ”

Hu Shen hesitated a little and whispered: "There was an accident in the palace, and the prince went into the palace with the emperor." ”

Gu Huan raised it again and asked, "Is there a traitor in the palace?" What happened? ”

Hu Shen said: "After the news of King Xian's rebellion reached the palace, Concubine Zhen was very frightened and hid in the underground palace to take refuge. She didn't allow the palace maid and the nurse to hug the little prince, she had to hug it herself, who knew that when she went down to the palace, she threw the little prince down the stairs......"

"Is the little prince seriously injured?"

Hu Shen shook his head and said: "I don't know, but it is estimated that it is not optimistic, otherwise the emperor will not take King Ming into the palace with the prince, it is estimated that ...... The matter of establishing a reserve is about to change again. ”

Gu Huanyi heard the cold wind in his back, this matter seemed to be doomed, this child could not survive the age of one.

She ordered Hu Shen to hurry up and inquire again, worried about what happened in the palace.

The capital was curfew for another three days, and the daily life of the people was resumed only after the search of the guards in the capital was over.

Gu Huanyi returned to Gu's house, and on the one hand arranged for Wang Sheng to inquire about the battle situation of the Liangzhou army to block the Eastern Wu army, and on the other hand, asked Liu Pei to inquire about Li Congxin's entry into the palace.

How did you enter the palace for three days and still haven't come out......

It wasn't until April 20 that an obituary was issued in the palace, and the little prince died of illness, and Li Congxin left the palace.

I haven't seen him for more than half a month, Li Congxin knew that Gu Huanyi was worried, so he took the lead in coming to Gu Zhai.

Gu Huan said that he looked tired and that he was indeed not injured, so he spoke to him with peace of mind.

Li Congxin was a little depressed, and said, "The little prince is gone on the day of the Qingming Festival." Falling down in the underground palace, there are more than 100 steps, even adults can't stand it. Concubine Zhen Niangniang held the body of the little prince and cried until the emperor returned to the palace, and the whole person was a little crazy. ”

A mother who killed her son by mistake is self-evident.

What's more, this son is still the only heir to the royal family, how much he expected before, and how disappointed he is now.

Gu Huanyi sighed a few words, and then asked, "Why did the emperor leave you and King Ming in the palace for a few days?" ”

Li Congxin said: "The elder of the Golden Pavilion said that the rebels have not been destroyed, and the whole country is panicking, and the little prince died unexpectedly. ”

Gu Huanyi asked Li Congxin directly: "Then did you agree?" ”

Li Congxin was reluctant to fight for the prince before, firstly, because he didn't want his biological father King Ming to be in an embarrassing situation because of him, and even worried about his life; second, because the emperor was not really a prince before, but was just testing the princes; The third is that he doesn't want to be the target of King Xian and Lee Sung-wook.

Now the latter two problems are solved, as for the relationship between him, the emperor, and the king of Ming, they talked in the palace for a few days, and finally the emperor decided to give up the matter of the heir, and set up the heir to the throne as his brother, King Ming.

Gu Huanyi was surprised, she thought that Li Congxin was the crown prince, but she didn't expect it to be passed on to King Ming.

"Now that the emperor is in good health, if he walks in front of my father, my father will inherit the throne. If my father, the king, goes ahead of the emperor, I will succeed him. But the most urgent thing is to proclaim the will of the world, and my father is the first heir. ”

King Ming is the first heir in the "Inheritance Code", this time he has a meritorious service, and he has a son who is very supported by the clan and courtiers, and he is in his affairs, as long as the emperor is willing, and King Ming will no longer give up the throne, there will be no opposition from the outside world.

Li Congxin said: "My father and the emperor have been secretly investigating for a long time, I don't know how to say it, it should be related to the fact that my father gave up the throne for my mother's concubine. ”

When the will was announced to the world, the military spirit of the Jiaodong Army was greatly boosted, and they took the initiative to ask for orders to go south to aid the Liangzhou Army and destroy the traitors together.

King Xian's resistance did not last long, during the Dragon Boat Festival, the good news was frequent, the Eastern Wu army was defeated step by step, and now the last position in Suzhou has also been lost.

King Xian abandoned the army and fled, and was caught by Gu Jiayi on the ferry that was about to go to sea by boat, and cut off his head with his own hands!

Gu Huanyi held the good news that Li Congxin helped her copy, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Now that the hatred of the country and the family have been avenged, and her brother has re-led the troops to fight and began to make contributions, she no longer has a heavy burden in her heart.

Li Congxin rubbed her face and said, "Our wedding date is less than four months, now we can take care of ourselves and prepare wholeheartedly, right?" ”

In the pond of the courtyard, a few koi fish climbed out of the water, frolicking happily.

Gu Huanyi looked at the peaceful and joyful scene in front of him, and said with a smile: "Yes, happy events are coming one after another." ”
