On that day, Ying'e tied the red rope to the tree according to the words of meditation, and someone came to pick up the letter on the same day, and sent it to the Erzhurong camp together with Yuanxi's suicide note in three days. Er Zhurong, who had just finished the war, was discussing the next combat strategy with his subordinates, took the letter presented by the soldiers, opened it and read it, and the more he looked at it, the more tightly his brows tightened, and finally he angrily slapped the letter on the table.

Murong Shaozong on the side saw that Er Zhurong was furious, and his heart had already understood that something must have happened to Ying'e, and he asked, "General, is there something wrong with Miss?" ”

Erzhu Dulu, Erzhu Shilong, Erzhu Zhao and Erzhu Tianguang, who were waiting on the side, followed one after another when they heard this, and Erzhu Zhao was even more irritable and pulled out his sword and threw it on the ground, patting his chest and begging to save Erzhu Ying'e. Er Zhurong clenched his hands into fists, his pinched joints clicked, and his deep voice was full of coldness, "Liu Tengyuan launched a coup d'état in the palace, the Queen Mother was imprisoned in the North Palace, King Qinghe was assassinated in Yongxiang, Yuan Xi was defeated and died tragically in order to save the uprising, only Ying'e was temporarily safe, and was sent to Yaoguang Temple by the Queen Mother." Now she sent someone to send a letter to me, as well as a suicide note from Yuan Xi, hoping that I would return to Beijing to save Chi. ”

Murong Shaozong touched his beard and lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's strange that I haven't seen the Empress Dowager's decree for a long time, Yecheng is far away from Luoyang, and the news is a little blocked." It's just that how can Liu Tengyuan and his ilk convince the courtiers that no words have flowed out of Luoyang for so long? ”

Er Zhurong said, "They controlled the emperor and lied to the outside world that the Queen Mother was cultivating and praying for blessings, and E'er entered the cold palace first, and then entered the Yaoguang Temple in order to send me this letter and let me save the Queen Mother." ”

Murong Shaozong was silent after hearing this, and stroked the thread of the sword on his waist. Er Zhu Shilong never liked Murong Shaozong, he felt that it was too far from his arrogant personality, and in his opinion, Er Zhurong did not do anything else except let him teach Ying'e, he deliberately said, "In the end, it's not our surname Erzhu, it's not the same heart as us, we are in a hurry with the eldest brother, this guy still has to touch the tassel like a girl, that's not a woman, touch it makes you feel?" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Er Zhu Zhao couldn't hold back his laughter in an instant, and when he saw Er Zhu Dulu's expression, he swallowed it raw, but he couldn't control his shoulders from shaking, and lowered his head and laughed quietly.

Er Zhurong's face was pale, and his azure eyes began to glow with cold light, as if he wanted to freeze everything in the world in his eyes, and no one dared to look directly at his gaze.

Murong Shaozong lowered his throat and arched his hand, "General, my subordinates just want to know whether the general is worried about the queen mother or the young lady, and only when the general is clear that the subordinates can act." ”

Er Zhurong slowly walked around the bookcase and walked in front of Murong Shaozong, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think General Ben wants you to do?" ”

Murong Shaozong groaned slightly, "If the general is worried about the young lady, I only need to ride a few horses, and we can bring the eldest young lady back." If the general is worried about the queen mother, he can only go to Luoyang in person, and his subordinates can respond. ”

Er Zhu Rong looked around with wolf-like eyes, "Er Zhu Zhao listens to the order, you quickly go to Yaoguang Temple to protect Ying Ying'e and protect her." It's just that this contact with which powerful person wrote to ask for credit for me, I'm afraid that I will have to wait until I see my wife, and you will disperse first. ”

The generals agreed to retire, and Erzhu Zhao immediately summoned more than ten elite disguises to rush to Yaoguang Temple overnight to protect Ying'e and make a response.

Er Zhurong held Yuan Xi's suicide note and quickly returned to Er Zhuchuan's mansion. Princess Beixiang saw that her husband suddenly came back and hurriedly went out to greet her, and was about to salute, but was supported by Er Zhurong, he withdrew left and right, and took the princess's hand into the bedroom.

Princess Beixiang looked at Er Zhurong's frosty face, and thought of something in her heart, she began to worry about whether it was Ying'e, but her husband didn't speak in the outer court, and she didn't dare to say a word, so she followed him into the inner room like a puppet, and then asked cautiously, "Husband, is something wrong?" Couldn't it be E'er, something? ”。

Er Zhurong gently put his arm around her shoulder, handed Yuanxi's suicide note to her and said, "E'er is fine, it's just your nephews, alas, you can read it yourself." ”

Princess Beixiang heard that something was going on in her mother's family, she took the letter with trembling hands, and looked at the familiar font on the envelope that read "Brother Xu Xu", she couldn't help but cry without reading it, "Xi'er." ”

Er Zhurong couldn't bear her grief like this, and patted her back with his hand, "I received the letter and rushed back to you overnight, the incident happened suddenly, and I didn't know about it for half a year, so it can be seen that the news is blocked by deep thoughts." ”

Princess Beixiang was teary-eyed, wiped her tears with her hands, opened them with trembling hands, and saw that the letter read: "My brother and I were known to the Queen Mother, my brother is based in Dazhou, and my brother is in the service, diligent and kind, and kind to my mother." Now the queen mother saw the abolition of the North Palace, and the king of Taifu Qinghe was slaughtered, and the lord was young and alone in the front hall. The monarch is like this, and there is no way to be at ease, so he leads the army and the people to build righteousness in the world. But his intelligence is shallow, and he is a prisoner, ashamed of the court, and ashamed of each other. I was working hard in the name, but I had to do it, and I had to break my gut, what else to say! Xi Li Si recalled the Cai Yellow Dog, Lu Ji wanted to be a crane in Huating, wouldn't he be in a trance, and he wouldn't return it? Now you want to the autumn moon, the spring breeze, through the grass, shade flowers and trees, call for famous places, and give poems to Luobin, which can be obtained? All the hundred gentlemen, each respectful, for the country for the body, good for the name, meritorious service, for the body, what do I say! ”

After reading the Beixiang princess, she mourned, "Husband, who else is there besides Xi'er, no, who else is left in my brother's family." ”

Er Zhurong hugged her waist and said. "The political situation in the DPRK and China was turbulent, Yuan Yi and Liu Teng staged a coup d'état and imprisoned the Empress Dowager in the North Palace. King Qinghe was slaughtered in Yongxiang and controlled the emperor in the inner court. Your nephew Yuan Xisu is good friends with the king of Qinghe, and when he heard the bad news, he united with the generals of Chengyang Wang Yuanhui and Yuan Yuan, and raised troops in Yecheng, claiming to be 80,000 righteous soldiers. It's a pity that on the day of raising troops, Yuan Hui and others did not respond, Yuan Xi was caught by his subordinates and sent to Yuan Yi, and was beheaded in Ye Street on the same day, and Yuan Su was also executed. You don't have to be too sad, at least your brother's bloodline is not broken, and Liu Tengyuan and the others dare not rush to kill them all. ”

After all, Princess Beixiang is used to seeing the wind and rain in the palace, and she knows that things will not be so simple, "How is my E'er now?" I'm afraid I'm also implicated. ”

Er Zhurong faintly sniffed out her vinegar and said comfortingly: "E'er is fine, I have already sent Zhao'er to take care of it, now that the political situation is uncertain, the emperor is the only favor of Pan Wailian, and Madame is not worried about repeating the tragedy of Gao Zhaoshi's massacre of the clan?" How many people are left in your Yuan family's blood and bones now? ”

Princess Beixiang choked, she raised her head sadly and asked, "What does the general want me to do, you know that I will never refute you, I will do what you say, even if even if the general brings that person back one day, I can be a concubine." ”

Er Zhurong's deepest desire in his heart was provoked, how many nights did he dream that he could embrace Xianzhen into his arms, smell her fragrance, caress her cream, and kiss every inch of her skin, and now this dream is one step closer, Yuan Yi is dead, her son is not filial, she should no longer care, he wants to bring her back and fight for her everything she wants. In front of him, the woman he didn't love, but was willing to give up the position of the main room for his heirs, he felt a little guilty in his heart, and gently wiped away his tears for her, "Don't think about it, you will always be the woman of my Erzhurong." It's just that I need to think about who can ask for credit for me and let me enter Beijing now. ”

Princess Beixiang tried to adjust her emotions, "The concubine will repair a letter to the prime minister, and the general can send a competent person to send some treasures, I believe he will definitely speak for the general." It's just that the general must promise to protect my E'er, and if there is danger to bring her back, okay? Er Zhurong nodded, he stayed this night, which can be regarded as compensation and repayment.

Early the next morning, Er Zhurong returned to the camp with letters and five large boxes of gold, silver, treasures, antiques and jade collected in the mansion, and ordered Murong Shaozong to personally escort them into Luoyang, and he waited for news in the camp. Although Yuan Yong was corrupt and fought for wealth with Wang Yuanchen of Hejian in his early years, he disdained to be with Yuan Yi Liu Teng's generation, and was in the position of prime minister, and he was also a person who Yuan Yi did not dare to disagree. It's just that he is lazy by nature, he only loves money, and at the beginning, Yuan Yi gave away the secret treasures in the palace, and he was happy to be idle. Murong Shaozong's words were righteous, and he used the deaths of Yuan Yi, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Su as the reason to tell about the past, and Yuan Yongsi's fear, especially when the Empress Dowager Hu was in the court, the political affairs were clear, and now there is a miasma. Yuan Yong immediately drafted a fold, and at the same time contacted another loyal minister, Xi Kangsheng, to come and conspire to get rid of Yuan Yi Liu Teng. For a while, although Luoyang City seemed to rise like the rising sun, it was still covered by dark clouds, and if you want to shake the chaos anyway, you still need a good east wind.

In the early dynasty, Yuan Yong publicly proposed that Er Zhurong had a meritorious role in quelling the rebellion, and Yuan Xu should reward the front-line soldiers, but Yuan Yi did not want Er Zhurong to enter Beijing, and he refused on the grounds that the war in the north was unstable, the commander was not suitable to leave, and Er Zhurong did not completely eliminate Ge Rong.

Yuan Yong said sarcastically, "As a leading general, Lord Yuan commands the forbidden army, and it is also the position of a military general, I am afraid that the sword in my hand has never tasted blood, how can I know that morale needs to be encouraged and motivated, and I am afraid that I don't know the truth that the art of war regards the pawn as a beloved son, so he can die with it." Although Ge Rong's generation is a grass coward, he has quite a few capable people under his command, such as Gao Huan, Dugu Xin and other generations, so freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and melting and deicing is not achieved overnight. General Erzhu's border is in turmoil, and after every killing, how many good men of my Great Wei have died on the battlefield, and they are no longer allowed to serve their parents; How many of them are holding stumps and can no longer live a normal life, shouldn't these soldiers be commended? General Erzhu fought for the country and made outstanding achievements, but he did not make his achievements and not let the soldiers chill? If according to what Lord Yuan said, then Lord Yuan went from a loose cavalry squire to Guangluqing, and then moved to the middle of the service, plus the leading general, Lord Yun has made meritorious contributions or established a career, but he is on the rise as the brother-in-law of the Queen Mother. Now that the Queen Mother is imprisoned, it is said that Lord Yuan should empathize with the Queen Mother and advance and retreat together, why do you still fall into the well for the Queen Mother? Do you want to learn from Cao Mengde? ”

When Yuan Yong said about the excitement, his face was flushed, and his green tendons were exposed. Yuan Yi was about to distinguish, but saw Xi Kangsheng stepped forward to grab the white: "What happened to you and Liu Teng in the Yuan servant, what happened to the Queen Mother, the consequence is as you said to cultivate the Buddha, why when the Xuanguang Hall was in the water, some people saw the Queen Mother described as withered, and the left and right attendants were not clothed." Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother was killed by a traitor and did not continue to eat three meals, do you know this? ”

Yuan Xu's suspicious eyes swept over Liu Teng beside him, and Yuan Yi, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs, slapped the case angrily, "Is my mother's consequence as General Xi said?" How did you two repay me? ”

Liu Teng hurriedly replied in a low voice, "The emperor doesn't listen to others framing the old slave, the queen mother is repentant and reuses the anti-minister Yuanyi, so that the society is turbulent, and she voluntarily prays for the blessings of the people and asks for self-cultivation." And when practicing, penance is the most blessed, so the queen mother ordered you not to worship, but it has nothing to do with the ministers. ”

Yuan Yi echoed, "That's right, if the emperor really wants to be the son of heaven as the prime minister said, why can't the ministers cover the sky with one hand in the court, and the minister's loyalty to the emperor, don't you know?" ”

Yuan Yong said angrily, "You can't cover the sky with one hand, but you can't cross my hurdle, I was dizzy before I believed your slander against the Queen Mother, and you really don't know the rumors flowing out of the palace?" It's just that it's about the reputation of the Queen Mother, I can't argue with you, you are a glutton, and you dare to kill the prince directly in Yongxiang, do you want to find a crime to kill me in the future? Now do you dare to invite the Queen Mother to confront the court? ”

Seeing Yuan Yong approaching step by step, Yuan Yi asked in a low voice anxiously, "Prime Minister, what do you want?" ”

Yuan Yong replied in a low voice, "Since Lord Shizhong doesn't pay attention to us who practice martial arts, which chills the hearts of all the soldiers, then we naturally think of the grace of the Queen Mother back then, and want to invite the Queen Mother back to the court." ”

Seeing the two of them whispering, Yuan Xu stood up from his feet, walked to the front of the stairs and pointed at the two of them, "What do you say that I can't hear?" ”

Yuan Yi thought about it for a while, weighed the pros and cons, and said, "The ministers dare to deceive the emperor without words, just now the prime minister told General Weichen Erzhu that he has fought repeatedly, and there are countless knife wounds, and the heart of the loyal monarch can shine on the sun and the moon, so the ministers regret the previous word, and such loyal ministers should be rewarded." ”

Although Yuan Xu didn't believe it, he also thought that continuing to investigate the affairs of the Queen Mother would damage the reputation of the Queen Mother, "Okay, just follow what the Prime Minister said before, pass the decree to reward the three armies, and let Zhu Rong enter Beijing to thank you." As for the matter of the Queen Mother's Qing Xiu, Liu Teng, you have to take care of it, you can't let the Queen Mother damage her body, and send it as before, hear clearly. ”

Liu Teng kowtowed and promised, and on the same day, he increased the use of Xuanguang Hall according to the order. It's just that this defeat made Liu Tengyuan even more afraid to take it lightly, and the surveillance of Yaoguang Temple became more and more strict.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yuan Yong personally drafted the decree and then asked Yuan Xu to use the seal, and asked Yuan Yi's henchman Song Wei, who framed Yuan Yi, to go to announce the decree, Song Wei knew that Yuan Yi and Er Zhurong had a relationship, and sent a hundred gold and a beautiful woman to hide in the food on the same day, covered with a cloth and sent to the forbidden, only to ask Yuan Yi to be exempted from his post in front of Yuan Xu. Yuan Yi took the gold and enjoyed the beauty, but he didn't want to tear his face with Yuan Yong, so he casually found an excuse to prevaricate Song Wei, but poor Song Wei still obediently set off for Yecheng within the time limit.

When he arrived in Yecheng, Er Zhurong took all the soldiers to receive the holy decree and asked Er Zhu Shilong to take him to the market for dinner. In the most prosperous place, Er Zhu Shilong loudly praised his framing of Yuan Yi, Yuan Yi's virtuous name and experience were deeply regretted by the people, and now when he met this traitor who framed the virtuous king, he ran to tell each other, and instantly gathered hundreds of people to fight Song Wei. Er Zhu Shilong pretended that he couldn't stop it, and after retreating to the crowd, he smiled and watched Song Wei being punched and kicked, and secretly kicked him a few times in the middle. Seeing Song Wei howling like a pig and almost being beaten to death, he ordered the soldiers to disperse the crowd and send Song Wei, who had broken his hands and feet and was dying, to the infirmary. That night, Er Zhu Rong thought that there was no good doctor in Yecheng, and asked Er Zhu Shilong to pull him back to Luoyang for treatment, and Song Wei, who was tossed along the way, became a cripple, but he was really happy.
