Chapter 122: Sacrifice
Li Congxin sat by the window with Gu Huanyi with joy, tired of it for a while, and discussed business with Gu Huanyi.
"This year's royal Qingming sacrifice is the 300th anniversary of Emperor Yuan, and the emperor plans to go to the imperial mausoleum in person to pay respects, and I have to accompany him to leave for a few days."
This is an important matter, and Gu Huanyi will not have any opinions.
Li Congxin wanted to be busy with the major affairs of the temple, so Gu Huanyi took over the arrangement of the new house in Comb Bridge, and in the next few days, he took Song An, Miao Mama, Xingyun and others back and forth between Comb Bridge and Gu Mansion every day.
The mansion of Comb Bridge is a new house built according to the specifications of the royal courtyard, and the courtyard of the house does not need to be repaired, only daily furniture and objects need to be added, but this house is too big, which is also a big project.
Busy until the end of March, there are only a few days left before the Qingming Festival, and the emperor will soon set off for the imperial tomb.
At this time, the good news came from Beiyi, Li Hongye led the border army to win a great victory in Shennu Mountain, the king of Beiyi jumped into the mountain with a serious illness and died in the country, and more than 50 people from the prince, the princess and the rest of the royal family were captured, and they will be escorted to Beijing in a few days.
The Beiyi have been entrenched in the north of the Xuan Kingdom for hundreds of years, and have grown from an inconspicuous nomadic tribe to an enemy country that threatens the security of the northern border of the Xuan Kingdom.
In the past and present, this great problem was finally solved, which made the Xuan Dynasty excited, and many people in the capital celebrated with whips on the streets.
Gu Huanyi was excited when he heard this, and regretted that he didn't go to Liangzhou, and he should have knelt in front of his parents' spirits to comfort him at this time!
When he saw Li Congxin at night, Gu Huanyi threw himself into Li Congxin's arms, and couldn't help crying: "My father was worried about the invasion of Beiyi every day before his death, and if he learned that the enemy had been eliminated today, I don't know how happy I would be!" This battle is thanks to the cooperation of the Fengxi master and the outside, and the country will be restored on another day, and the Gu family will send heavy congratulations! ”
Li Congxin patted her back comfortingly, and told Gu Huanyi some details of the Beiyi battlefield.
“…… When Li Hongye caught Yan Zhen, Allah Yan proposed to exchange the lives of her royal family with evidence of the Xian King's collaboration with the enemy. The treaty between King Xian and King Beiyi was hidden in the folding fan she planned to give to your brother, and she wanted to return Liangzhou City to your brother. ”
Gu Huanyi listened to the five flavors, and Wanyanzhen's feelings for her brother were so deep that she was surprised, but it was precisely because she was so obsessed and couldn't let go that she would feed her brother Han Bingsan in order to control his actions.
Such a terrible love, she would rather her brother had never encountered it.
In her brother's emotional affairs, no matter how much she thought, she couldn't interfere too much, so she had to ask: "Then Yan really made a deal, did the emperor agree?" ”
Li Congxin said: "The emperor has to see what Yan Zhen can confess before deciding, but according to my speculation, the emperor should not kill the Beiyi royal family." ”
Although Emperor Xuan supported the restoration of the Rouran people, he would not let Rouran dominate the clan in the north, and only when Rouran and Beiyi contained each other could they summon the long-term peace and stability of the border of Xuan.
Gu Huanyi knew this truth, nodded and said: "Beiyi has been defeated, the enemy country has been broken, what they owe to the Gu family army has been cleared, the emperor has no opinion on how to deal with them for the sake of the society, I just want to see the culprit of King Xian fall as soon as possible!" ”
Before Li Congxin talked to Gu Huanyi about this matter, she was still a little worried that she would be uneasy, afraid that she would insist on disposing of the Beiyi royal family, but she didn't expect that she would figure it out herself.
Gu Huanyi looked at him with a surprised expression, and said with a smile: "My father guards the northern border, and it is not to slaughter the foreign tribes of the Beiyi, as long as he can protect the peace of the northern border, it will fulfill my father's wish." ”
Li Congxin hugged her with relief and said, "After Yan Zhen arrives in Beijing, King Xian's persecution of Gu Jiajun will soon be revealed to the world." ”
Gu Huanyi nodded vigorously expectantly.
Because of the great victory in the north, the Song family set up a three-day flowing water mat in the square to celebrate, and the firecrackers set off a thick layer of red clothes on the street.
Gu Huanyi was in a particularly comfortable mood, and went to the Song Mansion to accompany his grandmother to dinner, and after the meal, he was called away by his uncle Song Zhengrui alone to talk about things.
Song Zhengrui took her to his courtyard, and her aunt Zheng was also there, and both of them looked a little worried.
Gu Huan asked, "Uncle, is something wrong?" ”
Song Zhengrui said: "Your little aunt has something to tell you. ”
Zheng hesitated a little and said to Song Zhengrui: "It's good if you just say it directly, why do you want me to say ......?"
Gu Huanyi's heart was raised, and he asked, "Did my brother and Zheng Qing have an accident in Liangzhou?" ”
Zheng Shi hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no." ”
She was afraid that Gu Huan would guess, so she hurriedly said: "The Cao Gang heard some news from Dongwu, and Qing'er was not in the capital, so they reported to me. The one under the prince named Yang Xin, whose whereabouts were exposed, was killed by King Xian......"
Gu Huanyi was stunned, his voice rose a few points, and he asked in disbelief, "Dead?" ”
Yang Xin's trip to King Xian's Mansion to steal the treaty with the enemy was very secretive, and now that his whereabouts have been exposed, King Xian must know that someone is investigating the fact that he signed a treaty with King Beiyi.
Since he has been startled, King Xian will do everything possible to destroy the evidence, the evidence in his hands will be destroyed, and he will definitely not let go of the evidence in the hands of the Beiyi people.
In this way, escorting the Beiyi royal family into Beijing will be very risky!
Not only is the Beiyi royal family at risk of being killed, but even the emperor will be at risk of going to the imperial tomb to worship!
After Wang Yumo was burned to death, her maid came to report that King Xian was buying armaments in the hands of the Beiyi people, and King Xian's antipathy had already been revealed.
Now King Xian's arrangement in the capital has been completely destroyed, Li Chengxu, Li Chengwen, Wu Lie, Hanxi Jushi, Lin family, Fang family, and Tang family have been defeated one after another, Concubine Zhen has turned against him, and the arrest of the Beiyi royal family is the last straw that crushes him.
If he doesn't rebel, when the evidence of his collaboration with the enemy and treason is sent to the emperor along with Wan Yan Kang and Wan Yan Zhen, he can only sit and wait to be killed!
But Gu Huanyi was a little puzzled, if something happened to Yang Xin, even the Cao Gang would know, it would be impossible for Li Congxin not to know, and a person who was so careful would not be able to consider the risks, but he didn't mention anything, and arranged to go to the imperial tomb to worship as usual......
Gu Huanyi left the Song family with a heavy heart, and went directly to Zidezhai to find Li Congxin.
Li Congxin was busy in the yamen, not at home, only Hu Shen was there.
Gu Huanyi knew that Hu Shen was Li Congxin's confidant and knew many things, so he asked him directly: "I heard that Yang Xin is dead?" ”
Hu Shen was very surprised, but nodded again for a moment: "Yes." ”
Li Congxin really knew about this, and Hu Shen was surprised why Gu Huanyi knew.
Gu Huanyi hurriedly asked: "The prince is hiding this matter from me, what are you going to do on the Qingming Festival?" ”
Hu Shen bowed his head and said: "Miss forgive me, the arrangement of the prince, I can't say anything about it, but the reason why the prince didn't tell the young lady about your Yang Xin's murder is that I hope you can do it happily and don't be disturbed by these things." The next things are arranged by the prince, so the young lady doesn't have to worry. ”
Yang Xin actually had an accident before she and Lu Li!
In the past month, Li Congxin has really been arranging big things from her.
What needs to be hidden from her? It must be a very dangerous thing!
