Chapter 8 The First World War Decided the Battle
Sitting quietly and sullenly. Wan Yan Zhao came in from outside. I saw her face drooping and frowning.
Wan Yan Zhao leaned in front of her. "What's wrong? Who you off again? Wan Yan Zhao stroked her little face. No one me off? "Speak quietly." It's written on the face! Still saying that there is no anger? Who just came? Wan Yan Zhao held her in his arms.
"Sister Hui sent me ginseng." Quiet said.
"I guess it's her, she's the best fan in the palace. The people in the palace gave her the nickname Alchemy Imperial Princess! Wan Yanzhao said with a smile. Why is it that name? Quietly asked.
"Isn't the alchemy furnace a fire fan?" Wan Yanzhao said. Silence couldn't hold back a smile.
Quiet snuggled her head to his chest. "Wan Yan Zhao, I want you to accompany me to go outside for a walk. Every day here, I feel a little panicked! ”
"Where do you want to go?" Wan Yan Zhao's face was pressed against her face. "Can I go to Yueguo?" Quiet whims. "Yes!" Wan Yan Zhao readily agreed.
"That's what I said, I've heard someone say that the emperor can't just leave the imperial city!" Quiet said it and regretted it.
"Haha, that's a little fool like you! Have you ever heard of the emperor going out on patrol and shaking the mountains? Haven't seen it, have you? That scene is very majestic! Wan Yanzhao said proudly.
Jing Jing looked at him with adoring eyes, "Wan Yan Zhao, then when are we going to see the earth shake the mountains?" Wan Yanzhao laughed and said, "In three months, spring will bloom." When the time comes, we will go to Yue Country together, climb the high mountains, and see the sea! ”
Wan Yan Zhao said to Jingjing, "A little later, let's go to the barracks outside the city together." "Quiet and very happy.
It's getting late. Under the escort of Wan Yan Lie, Wan Yan Zhao and quietly sat in a carriage and drove out of Chang'an City.
After walking a short distance out of the city, I arrived at the barracks of Yulinwei. I saw that there were many tents, like sheep on the pasture, densely packed. There is a big tent in the middle, which is majestic. Walk into the gate. There are countless lanterns and torches, and the night sky is red.
Walking into the big tent, Wan Yanzhao sat down in front of the handsome case. Quietly sit sideways. Wan Yanzhao dressed her in a silver silk and soft armor, and a red robe on the outside.
Wan Yan Zhao sealed Wan Yan Lie as the guard of Chang'an and was responsible for the guard of the imperial city. He personally commanded the army of 10,000. Starry night, go straight to Luoyang Dou Haiqing's fiefdom.
Before leaving, he pointed to the generals under his command and said. "This is my beloved concubine, Mrs. Yue Guo. In the barracks. She is also a general, a knight and a deputy marshal! The generals crossed their hands and saluted, "The last general will wait for Mrs. Yue Guo to say goodbye." Quietly hurriedly returned the salute, "Generals are exempt!" ”
Wan Yanzhao hugged Tranquility on the back of the horse and got on the horse himself. After a continuous rapid march, Wan Yanzhao's vanguard arrived at Luoyang and set up camp twenty miles away.
Someone went to the city and shouted: "Please Wu Xinjun go out of the city to see the driver!" Someone in the city shouted: "Wu Xinjun is not in good health and can't go out of the city, please let the emperor enter the city to meet!" ”
Wan Yan Zhao heard the report and pondered for a while. With Silence and a few guards came to the city. "Call Dou Haiqing to come and meet!" Wan Yan Zhao shouted.
After a while. Dou Haiqing's fat body appeared on the city.
"What does it mean that the emperor is coming with troops?" Dou Haiqing came up with a fierce momentum. "I took the guards out to patrol various fiefdoms, and I came to visit the country!" Wan Yanzhao said.
"Then please ask the emperor to go into the city to rest and talk!" He still didn't give up. "Okay, let's Kaesong!" Wan Yanzhao said.
Dou Haiqing hesitated, and when he saw that there were more than ten people in the city, he ordered the city gate guards: "Open the city!" The tall gates opened slowly. Quietly lay down and said a few words in Wan Yanzhao's ear. Wan Yan Zhao immediately called a guard and whispered a few words. The guards took the order and quietly ran away.
As soon as Wan Yanzhao and his party entered the city, the door was closed. Dou Haiqing came down from the city and knelt down to give a salute. Then he stood up and asked, "Has the emperor ever ordered Taishi Lan to come and deliver a decree to marry my little daughter to that bad old man in his fifties in Northern Liao!" ”
Wan Yan Zhao said, "It is my will!" Dou Haiqing immediately glared, "You faint, my youngest daughter is only fifteen years old, you do this?" It's too unconscionable, isn't it? ”
Wan Yan Zhao smiled, "Good scolding, do you want to be a wise gentleman for me?" You put the so-called eldest daughter next to me. Isn't that what you're waiting for? ”
"What do you mean?" Dou Haiqing asked in surprise. "Do you think that if you let that daughter of yours kill someone, the ghost will not know? In the lotus pond of the Imperial Garden, so many unjust souls will come to ask for their lives! ”
Dou Haiqing's face turned pale, and he roared, "Faint Jun, you don't know shame. Sling the bull! Wan Yanzhao said loudly, "I, the emperor, am not afraid of being embarrassed." All the soldiers in Luoyang listened well. You, the majestic Wu Xinjun, are a shameless villain at heart! He wanted to control the government. Killed the former crown prince and several princes. And in order to control me, he pretended to marry me as a daughter! "Don't say it. Give it to me, kill the faint king! Dou Haiqing interrupted him. A group of his cronies surrounded him, swords and swords, murderous.
Jing Jing pinched the golden lock on his belt with one hand, raised his peachwood sword with the other, and shouted loudly: "The gods who come and go, please slow down, and listen to the orders of the trail!" The words did not fall. There are thousands of red lights around her, and there are thousands of colors. The dazzling light makes everyone unable to open their eyes.
People heard her shout: "Condor Dapeng, take in the wicked!" The light was gone.
When the people opened their eyes, they saw a flock of eagles in the city, surrounded by a golden-winged roc. At the feet of Dapeng, he stepped on Dou Haiqing, who was no longer awake. The eagle's beak had the ears of a few fanatics. The wounded people were covering their ears and crying wolf.
All the soldiers threw their swords and knelt and shouted: "Lady Yueguo, you are brave and invincible!" ”
"Listen to the sergeants, protect the emperor and capture the thieves!" Hearing the order, the sergeants stepped forward to punch and kick, tying up Dou Haiqing and his cronies into zongzi.
Wan Yanzhao arranged for someone to treat Dou Haiqing. Then he rushed to the Anxin Monarch's Mansion with Tranquility and the guards.
Almost all of them ran away. The palace was deserted. The guards stood guard at the door. Wanyan Akiwa walked in quietly.
In the palace hall, Dou Lihua knelt on the ground, bowing her head. Wan Yan Zhao walked up to her and said, "What should I call you now?" We have been married for more than ten years, and in the end, everything is empty? For the sake of glory and wealth, you do not hesitate to be husband and wife as father and daughter, and for the sake of rights, you do not hesitate to push my royal brother and royal brother into the lotus pond! Are those things really that important? It really makes you so mad! ”
"Dou Lihua, let me tell you, I actually hate this kind of life! There is no freedom, and I have to watch you deceive and intrigue every day! He was a little excited, and his hands were shaking.
"I was very happy when my father appointed you to be my crown princess. At that time, you were beautiful and generous, so touching. But since five years ago, someone has secretly reported your background. I'll start everything before you. But I still don't believe you're going to deceive me! It wasn't until a month ago that I learned the truth from Dou Haiqing's messenger! Wan Yan Zhao pulled her up.
"You say, is this true? Because I still don't believe it! Wan Yan Zhao looked into her eyes. It's true, I've lied to you for over a decade! Her face was stained with tears.
Wan Yan Zhao let go of his hand. Cover your face with your hands: "You say, what should I do with you?" ”
"Death! But I don't want to die with Dou Haiqing! He's a shameless villain! She said calmly.
"Don't, don't kill the queen's sister!" Quietly walked up to Wan Yan Zhao, knelt on his knees and cried. Wan Yanzhao hurriedly helped her up. "Fool, what are you doing here? There are family rules, and the state has national laws. No one can break the rules! Wan Yanzhao helped her wipe away her tears and said.
Quietly pleaded: "Wan Yan Zhao, although the queen's sister has a bad temper. But she couldn't have killed. There are some things that she can't help herself! Wan Yanzhao said: "Don't make trouble yet." When we return to Chang'an, we will be heard by the Zongren Mansion and then make a decision! ”
"What about the Grand Master? Where is he? Wan Yanzhao suddenly remembered. Dou Lihua said: "I was killed by Dou Haiqing. The body was buried in a flower bed in the back garden. Wan Yan Zhao very sadly instructed the guards, "Go dig it out and redress it, and send it back to Chang'an for burial with the gift of the prince!" ”
While people were busy, a girl ran out of the back hall crying and shouted, "Sister! My mother can't do it! ”
Wan Yan Zhao took Dou Lihua and Jing Jing and ran into the back hall. Dou Haiqing's second lady was lying on the bed, no longer breathing. Dou Lihua pulled the little girl and said to Wan Yanzhao, "Her name is Dou Yu, and she is the biological daughter of Dou Haiqing and the second lady." ”
Wan Yanzhao looked at the little man in front of him, although his face was full of tears. But he is very delicate, with a round face and big eyes, which is quite similar to quiet.
"Yu'er, I'll help you take care of your mother's funeral. You just go to Chang'an with this sister! Wan Yan Zhao pointed to the quiet and said. Dou Yu looked at Dou Lihua, then at the quiet, and did not speak.
"Sister, you just follow Mrs. Yue Guo and learn how to behave in the world." Dou Lihua looked quiet.
Holding Dou Yu quietly, tears couldn't stop flowing. "Let's go back to Chang'an!" Quiet said.
