Chapter 200: Old Things
"I'm not a serious lady, and I don't have so many rules in the family, my father has a loose temperament, and he treats us very laissez-faire, and my mother feels sorry for us, although she often talks about it, but she also indulges us in nonsense."
"It can be seen that the rumors in Beijing cannot be believed," Li Yu smiled, lowered his head and played with the wine jar in his hand, and the words changed,
"Just like the rumors in Beijing now, do you really think that King Qi is going to rebel and the emperor wants to put down the rebellion?"
"Sooner or later."
"But it shouldn't be now," Li Yu shook his head,
"The emperor is too anxious, if in a few years, the government will settle down and completely control the southern states, and King Pingqi will be nine out of ten, so why be in a hurry?"
"I think the emperor naturally has this in mind, but how can King Qi not know his wishful thinking? How could he give the emperor this opportunity? This year, the imperial court frequently mobilized the soldiers and horses in the south, and King Qi couldn't sit still, even if he was not ready now, he had to make a desperate bet, while the court was not ready, maybe he could still fight, otherwise he would have to sit and wait for death. Li Yu's face darkened,
"Have you heard that the DPRK is preparing to mobilize the Beishan Army to quell the rebellion against King Qi?"
"Where did you get the news?" Cheng Jin frowned slightly.
"A letter was sent to me from home, Cui Xiang has issued an order to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Hanzhou and other three states, although there is no clear order to go anywhere, but everyone speculates that it is to be transferred to the south, there are so many soldiers and horses in Daliang, and the troops in the south are insufficient, so they can only be transferred from the north. However, as you said before, the Northern Mountain Army is not at all suitable for mountain warfare in the south, and if we were to go to the south, we would undoubtedly send our heads away. My family asked me to help in the capital, but although I am studying in Taixue, I am just a prisoner with a bad personal relationship, where can I speak in the court? Li Yu's expression was sad, he completely faded away from his previous arrogance, and made a big gift to Cheng Jin.
"I have no way to ask for help now, and the only one I can ask for is you."
"It's serious," Cheng Jin hurriedly grabbed her,
"You and I can think of things that ordinary prisoners can think of, how can the calculating bosses in the court not know? How could the Beishan Army die in vain? ”
"Of course, they know, but if they don't move troops and horses from the north, where will they move soldiers and horses? The soldiers and horses in the south are all in the hands of King Qi and the governor of Wuzhou, and Huzhou and Jianzhou are enough to fill those soldiers and horses? Li Yu sneered, she was born in Jiangmen, and her understanding of the war was stronger than that of those ordinary prisoners in Taixue, compared with their blind optimism, she had a very pessimistic attitude towards this war.
The Beishan army could not adapt to the battle in the south, and her father and brother were very likely to die on the battlefield, that is, they escaped with their lives, and they had to carry the black cauldron of defeat, and if they were not careful, the whole family would be destroyed.
"You don't have to be so pessimistic, there is also the Governor of Wuzhou." Cheng Jin sighed,
"Right now, only the Governor of Wuzhou can hold King Qi hostage."
"The Governor of Wuzhou and King Qi are Weng's sons-in-law, even if King Qi spoils his concubine and destroys his wife, he will help King Qi." Li Yu pursed his lips, not believing the Governor of Wuzhou at all,
"I don't believe him as an ordinary prisoner, will those adults in the court believe him? Will he stand on the side of the court regardless of the suspicions of the world? ”
"But will the people on King Qi's side believe him? His position determined that he was destined not to be trusted by anyone. Cheng Jin said with some sympathy,
He chose the wrong son-in-law back then, and put the whole family in the most dangerous situation. Princess Qi was also unlucky, it is rumored that Princess Qi had a crush on her back then, and the two fell in love, but the governor of Wuzhou refused to agree, so she forced Princess Qi to marry King Qi, broke up such a good relationship, and now she is also suffering from her own consequences. ”
"Who was your favorite person for Princess Qi back then?" Li Yu shook his head slightly,
"It's Ni Guang, who was just transferred to Huzhou not long ago." Cheng Jin choked on the wine, covered his mouth and coughed repeatedly,
"Really?"
"Although this matter is secret, it is not unknown to anyone, and the entanglement between Princess Qi Zhou, Ni Guang and Dali Temple Shaoqing Ye Ping was simply a bloody drama." Li Yu borrowed wine to drown his sorrows one by one.
"Lord Ye also has something to do with them?" Cheng Jin was stunned.
"Ni Guang is the husband of Lord Ye." Li Yu took a sip of wine, and while he was drinking, he talked a lot.
Although Cheng Jin grew up in the capital, he didn't know much about the things in the army, and he listened attentively.
"Ni Guangdu Governor was just a young general, under the Wuzhou Metropolitan Governor, and the Zhou family privately agreed for life, Ni Governor was born heroic and extraordinary, Zhou Metropolitan Governor also wanted him to be his son-in-law, but I didn't expect Ni Dudu's father to have an accident, offended Emperor Xian'an, the family was imprisoned, and Ni Dudu's future is uncertain. Zhou Dadu Governor Mingzhe protected his life, forced Zhou to break off his relationship with Ni Dudu, and married her to King Qi, who was only a junior general at that time. And Lord Ye had never been in the office back then, but because of fate, he met Ni Dudu, and he was infatuated with him......"
"Lord Ye of Dali Temple?" Cheng Jin couldn't help but interrupt Li Yu's words, and confirmed again and again, it was really hard to imagine that Ye Ping, who was gloomy and gloomy, treated people with an infatuated appearance, she had only heard that Ye Ping's husband was a brother and sister with her, and unfortunately died early, and she didn't know anything else.
"It's indeed Lord Ye." Li Yu nodded firmly,
"At that time, in order to make a clean break with Ni Dudu, the Governor of Zhou sent Ni Dudu from the south to the north, and joined our Beishan Army, which was organized under my father's command, and I have known him since I was a child. At that time, Lord Ye chased all the way to the Northland, and told Ni Dudu that as long as he was willing to marry her, she would do her best to save his father from prison. Master Ye is a disciple of Hongshan, with a wide range of contacts, and a scholarly family, and his father is also a member of the three grades, not as good as our generals, and he is very able to speak in the court. In order to save his father, Ni Dudu naturally married her. But after the two got married, Ni Dudu was tired of her coercing her to marry back then, and treated her very badly, and also accepted a lot of concubines, I heard that those concubines are somewhat similar to the Zhou family. ”
"Among them, there is a concubine who is the most favored, when Lord Ye was pregnant with Liujia, Ji tripped over Lord Ye, and the child was lost," Li Yu shuddered and lowered his voice,
"On that day, my eldest sister was a guest at their house, and she saw with her own eyes that Master Ye had shed a lot of blood, and when she came back, she was scared and sick, and my mother even went to ask someone to suppress her soul...... Lord Ye almost couldn't be saved at that time, and the people went to report to Ni Dudu, but he also ignored it, and hugged Xinna's concubine to have fun. Fortunately, Lord Ye's senior brother, that is, the husband behind Lord Ye, came to the north to deliver the decree and hurried over, so that Lord Ye was rescued from the Ghost Gate. After Lord Ye recuperated, he left with Ni Dudu, and went to Beijing with her senior brother to take the imperial examination and entered Dali Temple, and completely broke off contact with Ni Dudu. ”
