Chapter 203: Yun Jin's wedding
After Qi Xiaoyun left, the emperor's temperament changed greatly, and his behavior became more and more perverse and tyrannical. For civil officials and military generals, the early dynasty was undoubtedly a Hongmen banquet, and if one sentence was wrong, it might be the end of the head. They lost the momentum of their previous eloquence, and they were silent one by one, closing their mouths, and striving to be invisible, for fear of attracting the emperor's attention.
The dragon pillar on the court did not know how much of the loyal minister's fierce heart was impregnated, and the rust-colored red demon was shocking. On the top of the main hall, the emperor sat on the dragon chair that symbolized supreme power, pursed his thin lips, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked coldly at the ministers in front of him who looked like quails, and his deep voice was like a piercing ice, "I want you to take Nanwei and Beixiao within two months!" ”
At this moment, the emperor's ambition was finally revealed without reservation, the ministers trembled, they had been in the court for a long time, they no longer had the determination to spill blood on the battlefield, nor the ability to fight quickly, the real mainstay had long been ruthlessly pushed to the border by the emperor. It's just that they don't dare to resist, because there is only one possibility for the end of resistance. That's death!
There is no one in this world who is not afraid of death, Rao is the emperor who controls the power of killing all the lives in the world, and he also dreams of one day being able to live without borders. They took on the impossible mission, and if there were no accidents, the ending would certainly not be too good. It's just that those are no longer important, all they have to do now is to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle and unconsciously secretly display their positions.
The previous riots hurt the vitality of Beixiao, Rao is the new emperor is committed to the development of the economy, and strive to improve the lives of the people, this kind of Huairou policy for the people has been supported by the people, especially the herdsmen who have been baptized by the war, but also worship the new emperor as a god. However, the previous hole was too big, and now it is not easy to quickly complete it, even if the whole country is exhausted.
Therefore, when the Eastern Qi army was under the pressure of the momentum, the king of Beixiao happily led the people to surrender, and handed over the jade seal very happily, there was really no hesitation at all, and there was no sadness of the slaves who died in the country. Although the common people are sad, they also know that they can no longer withstand the devastation of war, and surrender seems to be the only way out. What's more, they believe that there will be nothing wrong with the decisions made by the new emperor.
The Emperor of Eastern Qi was dumbfounded by the new Emperor of Northern Xiao who retreated to advance, unless it was a cruel person, the Four Kingdoms had never had a precedent of killing prisoners, and the emperor in order to show his benevolence, he gave the new Emperor of Northern Xiao as the king of Xiao, and also gave the city of the king of Northern Xiao as his fief. But the military power and autonomy were withdrawn to the center of the imperial court, and King Xiao was just a dissipated prince with no real power!
King Xiao happily accepted the order, not in his position and not in his government, God knows how hard he sat on that throne, tens of thousands of people put their hopes on his shoulders, his shoulders were so thin, he couldn't bear this heavy expectation. The idle prince was much more comfortable than the king of Narauszi, and his nerves, which had been tense, could finally relax a little.
However, he can't live up to the trust of the people, even if he is now just a shell prince with no name and power, but this does not mean that he can do whatever he wants. However, he really has more than enough heart and strength now, he has endured humiliation for so many years, only learned how to protect himself, but did not learn to be majestic, and now it is really to the point of poor donkey skills.
Perhaps it was time for him to turn to his allies for help, and King Xiao looked to the far south, wondering if the two who had gotten their wish remembered their previous agreement. At the moment, there is nothing to do, so it is better to go out for a tour, and by the way, he will meet old friends, and maybe the things that make him worry about it will be solved in a conversation and laughter. After all, he believed in those two guys so much.
Nanwei never thought that the king of Northern Xiao would be so cowardly, and the Eastern Qi was just a large army pressing the border, so they surrendered confidently, this kind of upright cowardice simply made them dumbfounded. The prince of Nanwei has just returned to the dynasty, and the army of Eastern Qi is close behind, and there is a tiger squatting next to him that will attack and bite people at any time.
The little prince looked at Emperor Nanwei's bloodshot eyes, as well as his increasingly gray sideburns, and his handsome face that was ravine by the years, and his heart ached for a while. Until the early dynasty, the emperor fainted on the dragon chair without warning, and the little prince knew that he could not hesitate any longer. His father was his only relative, and he couldn't watch him go down in emaciation, and he couldn't bear to see him in great torment.
The little prince refused the witch doctor's diagnosis and treatment, and personally treated the emperor. The witch doctors did not argue, although the little prince was still young, but there was no one in the country to compete with him in his medical skills, so they still didn't want to get an axe. The little prince waved his hand, and the witch doctor came out, and carefully closed the door, leaving a quiet room, giving the father and son a peaceful time together.
"Father," the little prince said faintly, his voice very hoarse, "you can't destroy your body like this. "He just checked the emperor's pulse, and the feedback from the pulse was not optimistic.
Emperor Nanwei's tired face leaked a trace of tenderness, he stretched out his hand and rubbed the little prince's head, and said gently, "Father is fine, just a little tired, don't worry." His dark eyes smiled a little, looking at the little prince's eyes as red as rabbits, and couldn't help teasing: "You are already an adult, and you still cry your nose at every turn, so you don't look like you have grown up." ”
The little prince sniffed and sobbed back, "Father, the retainers know what you are thinking and your concerns. The Eastern Qi country is rich and strong, and Nanwei is not his opponent. Of course, we can release poison, but it's not a long-term solution. This is an unstoppable trend, and if we want to block it, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Father, sometimes holding back is not necessarily a failure. ”
Emperor Nanwei frowned and was silent, he didn't know what the little prince said, but he couldn't let Nanwei's foundation be ruined in his hands, so he became Nanwei's sinner through the ages, and a hundred years later, under the nine springs, how would he face the ancestors and ancestors. However, if he has the determination to fight with Dongqi with the determination to break the net, even if he wins in the end, what will he leave behind?
Unlike the populous Eastern Qi, there were very few indigenous people in Nanwei, and the war reaped not only national strength, but also lives. Emperor Nanwei fell into a dilemma for a while. The little prince naturally knew his worries, and he showed a smile that was even more ugly than crying, "If my father is worried about being ashamed of his ancestors, it is better to pass the throne to his sons now, such a big rebellion, let his sons do it!" ”
The emperor chuckled and touched the little prince's head lovingly, "You stupid boy, when did you learn that there are no three hundred taels of silver here?" The father is not a person who can't afford to lose, but some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface, and thousands of innocent lives are at stake. "That's the biggest disrespect for the common people.
The two armies faced each other silently on the border for four or five days, and Emperor Nanwei made a final request to the Emperor of Eastern Qi, who asked to summon the virtuous king Qi Xiaoyun.
More than a month had passed since the scouts had sent the news back to the capital and brought the emperor's reply back to the border. Not surprisingly, the emperor did not refuse Emperor Nanwei's request. And the moment Qi Xiaoyun received the holy decree, he set off for Nanwei Wangcheng, and he was alone and did not take anything with him.
Qi Xiaoyun only went for one day and returned to Fog City, no one knew what he talked about with Emperor Nanwei, and only two days later, Emperor Nanwei led his ministers to surrender. The Emperor of Eastern Qi also took back all the power in his hands and gave him the title of King Wei, and the city of Nanwei was his fief.
King Wei made no sense of this arrangement, and calmly accepted the gift. Since then, the world has been unified, and the Emperor of Eastern Qi ascended the throne as the emperor, and changed the name of the country to Yuanhe, and the world called him Emperor Yuanhe.
After coming to Fog City, Qi Xiaoyun kept preparing for the wedding, although Lu Anjin's stomach was not too pregnant, but there was not much time left for him. The child grows up day by day, and before he is born, he wants to give his mother a name.
The 10th day of the lunar month is a good day. Early in the morning, the palace was very lively, the sound of ping-pong was endless, and the housekeeper was like a **, busy and round. Today is the most important day for the Xian Wangfu, the masculine palace finally ushered in the hostess, and of course, their lovely little son.
Qi Xiaoyun didn't close his eyes all night in excitement, he sat there, showing a sweet smile from time to time, and his stupid and stupid appearance was simply faceless. However, everyone was very happy at this moment, and no one laughed at the rare gaffe master.
Lu Anjin was called up by Lu's mother early in the morning, Lu's mother dressed her up by herself, looking at her daughter's beautiful little face, thinking that her daughter was about to become another woman, although she had made enough psychological preparations in advance, but in this happy day, she still couldn't help crying.
"Mother," happiness is contagious, and sadness is also contagious, seeing her mother's silent tears, her eyes instantly turned red. "My daughter is reluctant to leave you."
Mrs. Lu gently wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and comforted her in the hazy eyes of tears, "Silly child, the house that Yun'er bought for her father and mother is next door to the palace, if Jin'er misses her father, she can go home at any time." She once again sighed at Qi Xiaoyun's carefulness, "Yun'er is a good child, you must live happily." ”
Suddenly there was a bustling noise outside, and the big girl ran over happily, shouting in a loud voice: "Madam, Miss, the prince has come to pick up the kiss." ”
Lu Anjin blushed instantly, Mrs. Lu glanced at her with a smile, and gently covered her with a red hijab. Lu Anjin has no brothers, and when Mrs. Lu was about to send someone to call Lu's father to come over and carry Lu Anjin to the sedan chair, she saw Qi Xiaoyun striding over.
"Mother, Yun'er will carry Jin'er on the sedan chair."
Lu Mu waved her hand again and again, and muttered, "How can this be made?" ”
"Why can't you do it, Jin'er is Yun'er's wife, isn't it natural for the husband to carry the lady on the sedan chair?" Qi Xiaoyun was not ashamed at all and said, "My life is Jin'er's, let alone others." ”
When Lu's mother heard this, she smiled and put Lu Anjin's little hand on Qi Xiaoyun's big hand, and blessed with a smile: "Children, live a good life, tolerate and understand each other's difficulties." Mother and your father don't ask for much, I just hope that you can live this life safely and smoothly. ”
Father Lu walked over with the support of the little girl, Qi Xiaoyun pulled Lu Anjin to Father Lu and Mother Lu respectfully kowtowed, and said loudly, "In this life, I will take good care of Jin'er, if there is a disobedience..."
Lu Mu smiled and interrupted his oath before he could speak, "Silly boy, we believe in you." ”
Qi Xiaoyun successfully picked up his bride, and there were bursts of laughter and laughter in the sky above the palace, and the joyful voice of the ceremonial official almost wanted to break through the sky, "A high hall... Two worship heaven and earth... Husband and wife worship each other... Send it to the cave room! ”
