Chapter Fifty-Three: The Soldiers Are Coming
"What do you mean? It's likely that the so-called Princess Yu Lian didn't enter the post station with us from the very beginning? Having said so much, Xiao Qin finally had a hint of enlightenment.
"This is just my suspicion, and now no one can be sure who entered the post station as Princess Yu Lian that day, I think she is even very likely to be the murderer of the envoys of the Song Kingdom."
"Entering the post station as a princess, and then waiting until the middle of the night to kill the unsuspecting envoys of the Song Kingdom, it is indeed very suspicious to think about that Princess Yu Lian."
"Yes, it's really difficult to take a big living person out of the post station without knowing it, but anyone who knows a little bit of martial arts can get in and out without alarming you." As long as there is evidence to prove that the murderer did not kidnap Princess Yu Lian at all, but pretended to be Princess Yu Lian to enter the post station from the beginning, then all my speculations can be confirmed.
"So, Niang Niang suspects that this whole thing was planned by Song Guo? First, in the name of Princess Yu Lian and his relatives, and then in the territory of my Tang Kingdom, he killed and kissed the envoys......"
"Hmm."
"Just, what are they doing this for?"
"An excuse to provoke war." I told you the worst.
"It's all because of the ineffective handling of his subordinates, which gave Song Guo a chance." Hearing the word war, Xiao Qin quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"It's not your fault, Song Guo's ambitions are known to the world, even if this time with relatives is true, they will find other excuses to provoke a war." After all, what kind of person is Zhao Guangyi, I'm very Qin Chu, isn't it? How could he expect him to change something in this life?
"So what do we do now?" Li Yu, who had been listening for a long time, finally spoke up.
"The soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth." I turned around and left this sentence to Li Yu.
"What about the station?" Xiao Qin looked at me......
"Don't make a noise about the post station, you rush back overnight now, and then send someone to guard the post station, only to say that the team that came to the Song Kingdom to make peace with the relatives just entered the territory of the Tang State was infected with a strange disease, and for the safety of the people of the Tang Kingdom, the mission can only be temporarily arranged to be isolated in the post station."
"My subordinates understand, it's just, what about Princess Yu Lian?"
"You don't have to think about this first, just do what I say first, Princess Yu Lian, I have other arrangements. You just need to remember to transport a corpse out every day or two, and there is no need to hide it, the more people see the appointment, and burn it directly after it is shipped out. In two days, I will arrange for the Imperial Doctor to come and cooperate with you. ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
"I'll ask Li Xiaoxiao to send you out of the palace."
"The subordinates retired."
I looked at the back of Xiao Qin leaving, and a plan was also formed in my mind, since there is no such person as Princess Yu Lian, then I will arrange one myself.
Xiao Qin really went back to the post station overnight to make arrangements as I said, and two days later, the former dynasty began to report it. "Song Guohe and the pro-envoy are trapped in the post station due to illness, and I hope that the court will make a decision as soon as possible."
On the same day, Li Yu issued an order to send Tai Hospital to the post station for treatment and set off immediately.
After Xiao Qin left that day, I told Li Yu all the plans I made, and now things are unfolding step by step according to my plan. Soon, the news of the illness of the Song State and the pro-envoy spread all over the country, and it was said that the condition was serious, and no one survived in a village on the border of the Southern Tang Dynasty......
After listening to Li Xiaoxiao's report, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how exaggerated the rumors were, at least the result I wanted was here, wasn't it?
At the end of January 965, the illness subsided, the Southern Tang border returned to calm, and the quarantine of the post station was officially lifted, and no one in the entire mission survived except for Princess Yu Lian and the doctor of the Tai Hospital. For this reason, Li Yute sent 10,000 taels of gold to the Song Kingdom to comfort the families of the mission......
On the other side, after Princess Yu Lian and the doctor of the Tai Hospital experienced life and death at the post station, they secretly fell in love and made a private decision for life. The lord of the country was merciful, grateful for the preciousness of his love and could not bear to break up, so he issued a decree to seal the princess Yu Lian of the Song Kingdom as the princess with a foreign surname, and the Zhaotai Hospital was gentle as a concubine, and gave the princess mansion, which was issued according to the practice of the princess of the Tang Kingdom according to the demand.
The world has been yearning for these fairy-like love stories, coupled with my intentional or unintentional encouragement, the love story between Gentle and Yu Lian soon spread all over the streets and alleys, becoming a love story, and the world praised the generosity and benevolence of Tang King Li Yu. As for the Song Kingdom, as long as the people of the world believe that this Princess Yulian is true, it will be true.
In this way, the matter of the mission and relatives is also over.
In fact, there has never been such a person as Princess Yu Lian, and it was Sandalwood who was given the princess's mansion and gently married. In order to cover up the disappearance of Princess Yu Lian and the death of the Song State Mission, I could only let Sandalwood go to the post station with Wen Rou to perform such a play. Fortunately, there is a good impression between Gentle and Sandalwood, and I can be regarded as indirectly fulfilling a true relationship in their previous life.
The Song State quickly sent someone to reply to the letter, and also accepted the marriage between Princess Yu Lian and Imperial Physician Wen, as for whether Princess Yu Lian really existed, our two countries tacitly did not continue to investigate. And the murderer who left the post station that night is still nowhere to be found, I don't know if that's the real Yu Lian......
Since then, Li Yu has suddenly matured and began to shift his focus to state affairs, taking Zhongyu to govern state affairs and study military affairs every day.
At the beginning of October, a letter suddenly came from outside the palace that Aunt Liu Ruo had died in front of the tomb of the Queen Mother. Since the Queen Mother was buried, Aunt Liu Ruo invited herself out of the palace to guard the mausoleum, and now a whole year has passed......
Suddenly, when I was ten years old, I met Aunt Liu Ruo for the first time in the Zhou Mansion, and the frame by frame was like yesterday......
I think that when I was young, I also wanted to find a wishful husband, husband and children, and wandered the rivers and lakes with flowers and plants. I didn't know that I couldn't escape the heavenly family after all, at first I still had extravagant hopes, extravagant hopes could change something, and then every inch of sincerity was invisibly worn away and only ashes remained.
"Choose a good place for Aunt Liu Ruo to be buried outside the mausoleum, it must not be too far away, so that she can accompany the Queen Mother." I gave Qiu Xiang a token to leave the palace, and it can be regarded as asking her to help Aunt Liu Ruo do something for me.
"Yes. The slave understands. ”
Before leaving, I gave Qiu Xiang a package, which was a set of emerald green skirts, just like the skirt that Aunt Liu Ruo brought to me when she first entered the Zhou Mansion, the Queen Mother likes emerald green, you wear this skirt to meet her, she must be happy.
I looked out the window, and many scenes flashed one by one, including Zhongxuan, the Queen Mother, the Empress, and Shangwen......
When I was a child, I watched a play, and the drama on the stage appeared on the stage, singing all the joys and sorrows, and it would always come to an end.
