106. Border crisis
This king doesn't believe it very much, all along, Wei Tian has attributed this king to the second emperor's brother's comrade, and he is used to doing things that are excluded, suppressed, and not saved in the face of death, how could he have said that let this king take over his throne?
Li Jingtang saw my suspicions: "Your Highness, over the years, the emperor has done this to remove obstacles for you." โ
"What do you mean by that?"
"Everyone in the Dajin court knows that the emperor does not trust His Royal Highness, but everyone ignores that when the emperor ascended the throne, he was supposed to centralize power to consolidate his rule, but he never took over the military power from His Royal Highness. I, Dajin, have a lot of power in my hands and can lead troops to fight at any time, except for His Royal Highness King Chong'an, there is no second person. But among the officials of Dajin, which one really thinks that His Royal Highness will inherit the unification? No, not one, because they all know that the emperor is dissatisfied with His Highness, so no one comes to guard against His Highness. Even, even my brother and I ignored this matter, and we all figured out the wrong emperor's intentions and sent killers to assassinate His Highness. โ
I suddenly realized: "The ambush of Lingtai and Luochang was controlled by you and Gao Shu, and it has nothing to do with the emperor?" โ
Gao Shu nodded, feeling guilty: "It has nothing to do with the emperor." Gao Shu is afraid that it will be difficult to hide the responsibility of the crime, and the emperor ordered the punishment of the two of us, which should be for the blame and grievances that His Royal Highness suffered at the beginning. The emperor is wise, and the old minister is willing to be punished. โ
Li Jingtang wiped away a handful of tears and said, "If Your Highness can see the emperor, I will tell him for the two of us, and both of us can understand the emperor's intentions." โ
The emperor's intentions, I can both understand.
Gonggong Yang, who was beside him, burst into tears when he heard this, wiped his face in a panic, knelt down beside me, kowtowed to me first, and then kowtowed to Gaoshu Li Jingtang: "Thank you, Your Highness, for coming to visit the two adults for the emperor, and thank you for your understanding." The old slave's task has been completed, and he can go back to the palace to concentrate on accompanying the emperor. โ
At that time, I always felt that Yang Gonggong had something to say, and I was about to carefully ponder what Yang Gonggong meant, but my thoughts were interrupted by Gao Shu's words: "Rong Laochen reminded His Highness again before he went on the road, Chen Changfeng is not as upright as he faced, he is suspected of communiquรฉ personal vendetta, His Highness should be careful of this talent, and must not put the overall situation of the country on him." โ
I nodded: "This king remembers." He turned around and was about to leave, but he paused in his footsteps, and finally turned around and said, "The two adults go all the way." โ
Gonggong Yang followed me out, and on this dark and cramped road, I probably asked him: "Brother Huang asked me to come to visit Gao Shu and Li Jingtang, just to let me know that he never hated me, but was protecting me, in order to tell me that he wanted me to take his place and be the emperor?" โ
"Maybe it's ......"
"Then why didn't he tell me himself, but through the mouths of these two men?"
Gonggong Yang did not answer this question directly, and still said a vague sentence as when he came: "The emperor has his own considerations." โ
He always has his own considerations.
But I also want him to tell me his thoughts sincerely, I am not the child who climbed into the wall of the East Palace, and I can actually help him with advice about the affairs of Jiangshan Sheji.
Walking out of the cell, the snow was still falling, and the snow covered the entire imperial capital, as if to cover the sudden changes of this night and the regret that could not be turned back.
At noon, in the west city of Dijing, Li Jingtang of Gaoshu asked for beheading as scheduled.
I stayed in the palace for half a day to make arrangements for the next things. But my train of thought was always interrupted by that matter, so I simply took out the immortal cong, put down the paper and pen of deduction, leaned on the back of the chair, and gave myself half an hour to concentrate on Qin Buxian.
This thought thought of the last night in Nanguofu Creek Garden.
Drunk and hazy and very sober, her ears were the sound of her panicked and helpless breathing, her cold fingers stopped on the wound on my chest, I don't know what it feels like to put one person's immortality into another person's wound, I am only afraid that I have no experience and can't feel it, I am afraid that when I am still stunned, she has given me her immortality, so the internal organs tremble violently, the tall building falls, and everything collapses.
I sat up in shock, grabbed the cool hand, and controlled her to touch me further, and at that time my back was covered with sweat, and even trickled down my skin and fell on my shirt and bed.
People can't control their emotions when they are in extreme fear, and I have never cursed at the enemy like this on the battlefield, but at that moment, as long as I thought that she might have given me Immortal, I was like a tiger and leopard in time control, with teeth and claws and hysterical: "What have you done to this king?!" โ
When these words came out, Qin Buxian in front of him was unhurried, indifferent and calm, but this king's own eyes became moist first.
The mood was like a torrential rain and the waves rolling, and it was not until she untied her loose clothes, revealing her chest, which was free of knife marks and blood, that I calmed down a little.
This is the one thing that this king regrets the most now.
Qin Buxian took out Bulao Cong before leaving Beijing, and on the way south to Yuzhou City, was the king's eyes blind, and he didn't even notice half a point? I tried my best to protect this person, I wanted her to be safe and sound, intact, but in the end, the treasure in her body that could make her live a hundred years old was gone, and I didn't see it at all.
Without the immortal king, he will not live for five or six years, and he will not last for thirty-three.
What about Qin Buxian, who has no immortality, how long can a person like her, who already lives on the life span of immortality, last?
This king didn't know, and he didn't dare to think about it. I just want to return this immortal cong as soon as possible, but the way from Dijing to Nanguo Mansion is very dangerous, I am afraid that Cheng Yu will send someone to follow and rob him halfway, and the person who this king believes most now is himself, so I must go to Nanguo Mansion as soon as possible, or even ...... Take a trip to Ningguo.
She wants me not to have to worry about death, so why don't I want her to live a carefree life?
Sometimes, even the king himself does not know what luck he has taken, but he can be so favored by the old man, and arrange such a girl to like me with all her heart, and when I am stunned one after another, when I repeatedly pull her into the water, she repeatedly forgives and helps.
But after thinking about it, Yue Lao is afraid that he is not a good person, he tied the marriage line of such a good girl to this king, and tied it so strongly, he was really harming her.
I picked up the crystal clear immortal cong again, took the pen and paper and rearranged the tricky things in front of me, and wanted to arrange these things in a hurry, and then go south to see Qin Buxian.
But things don't always go as the king wants, and sudden events can disrupt all plans without mercy.
Just when I was planning all the things in front of me, an urgent letter of eight hundred miles arrived in the imperial capital from the south, and half an hour later, the same urgent letter arrived at the palace from the southwest border.
Three days ago, Yang Gongxing, the general of Ningguo, led 300,000 troops in an attempt to cross the Changlan River; On the same day, He Wanli, the general of Qiongguo, with 200,000 soldiers, attacked our southwestern border.
On the same day, the two countries of Ning and Qiong joined forces to commit our Dajin again, and this time they aimed at the southern border together, and they were galloping and menacing.
Since Luochang City, this king has already arranged for people to guard the southern border, and there can be no day of slacking off, even Yang Gongxing, who patrols across the river every day, should know that there are soldiers from Jinguo defending on the southern border now, how can he still cross the river so boldly?
Unless he knew something elseโ
For example, the emperor Wei Tian retreated into seclusion to cultivate his body;
For example, the situation in the Jin Dynasty was turbulent, and a prime minister and a household secretary were raided and beheaded;
For example, the king is caught in the heap of things in the imperial capital, and he can't go to the south for the time being;
For another example, Xu Guangguang, the king's iron-clad lieutenant, is on death row or has died......
I don't know how much Ning Guo knows about the situation in Jinguo, but Yang Bowxing has always been cautious in doing things, and he cherishes his troops very much, and he is not seventy percent sure that he will lead an army of 300,000 to cross the river with a mighty and eye-catching eye, so this king speculates that he must have seen through the current turbulent situation in my Dajin, so he plans to attack it unprepared and take advantage of the weakness.
Ordinary meticulous work and spies can't see the situation of a country so thoroughly, so there must be someone who knows the bottom of the matter and sent the situation of Dajin to Ningguo?
Who is this man?
On the table, half an hour ago, the arrangement of the paper had come to naught, and I steadied my mind, pondered for a moment, and finally left a name on the paper covered with pen and ink.
Then he put away his pen and instructed the people in the house: "Go and invite Lord Chen Changfeng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Lord Zhao Mengqing Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, look at the high-rise building today, and the king will invite the two of them to dinner there." โ
