Chapter 21: Heading North (2)

&nb Concubine Shu's request to accompany the time is comparable to that of Concubine Zhen, and many courtiers can't help but guess that Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhen are both favorite concubines in the harem, and they are competing for the front line, just to compete for the emperor's favor.

&nb It is common for concubines to compete for favor, and most people think so in their hearts. However, several major families are wary of it.

&nb Concubine Shu invited the play to the prince of the East Palace and the queen of the Middle Palace. The queen was the first to refute, and then the courtiers all echoed the queen, believing that the concubine, as a harem lady, should stay in the capital instead of driving north.

&nb The prince is the son of the concubine, and at this time, in order to avoid suspicion, it is not good to make a decision. As Prime Minister Right expected at first, as soon as the news of Concubine Shu's northward journey was released, King Wu and the queen's henchmen immediately attacked her. Concubine Shu went north, where is it just the jealousy between women? It was a war for the heirs of the East Palace, King Wu, and the future monarch of the Great Qin Kingdom!

&nb Most of the courtiers and concubines are in a stalemate, and Lin Yuan wants to leave the capital openly, how easy is it.

&nb But the so-called eventful autumn, since two years ago, the Great Qin Kingdom has not been peaceful. On the tenth day of the sixth month of the 19th year of Qianwu, on the fifth day of the performance of the concubine, the right prime minister wrote a letter to impeach the king of Xiliang and his subordinate officials for "collaborating with the enemy and treason", and in the battle of Xipingfu of the Xia State seven years ago, he colluded with the Xia army and intercepted the support of the Qin army, which eventually led to the death of the Xia State in the war of King Rong Chuda.

&nb The Manchu Dynasty stirred up an uproar, and the death of King Rong seven years ago was turned over again.

&nb Chu Dakai was indeed not a simple battle death, he died in the struggle between the queen and Yun Dan, and died in the internal struggle between the generals.

&nb The right prime minister still has traces of the war seven years ago. Chu Dakai led the vanguard army to capture Xiping Mansion, but because the support was blocked, he was finally trapped and died. In that tragic war, the enemy opposite Chudakai was not just Xia Guo!

&nb At that time, it was Yundan who ordered the Tubo cavalry to assassinate Shangguan Yue. However, Shangguan Yue countered the first army and introduced the Tibetan soldiers and horses into the territory of the Xia State, and the Tubo people killed Chu Dakai by mistake without knowing it.

&nb Now that the emperor is fighting abroad, the Tibetans are coming to support as an ally, so naturally they can't offend the Tibetans at this time. Xiliang and Tubo are the closest, it was the officials of Xiliang who facilitated the alliance between Tubo and Qin, and the right prime minister turned the clouds and rain, reversed black and white, he crossed Tubo and involved the war in Xiping Mansion to Xiliang.

&nb The right prime minister is a man of letters, and he is not good at the battlefield, and of course he does not have much tangible evidence in his hands. The war in Xiping Mansion has been going on for a long time, and the tail of the Shangguan clan has been cleaned again, and it is not easy to find out anything. However, the more this is the case, the more confusing the matter becomes, and the more convenient it is to be involved.

&nb The right prime minister played the crown prince and asked for a re-examination of the war seven years ago. The courtiers were frightened, and the Shangguan family, who were originally shouting and dancing in the court and scolding Lin Yuan for "women messing with government", died down after just one day.

&nb They don't dare to be in the limelight anymore. Because they are the ones who really killed Chu Dakai!

&nb Queen doesn't know how many hole cards the right prime minister and Lin Yuan hold in their hands. She was afraid, she was afraid that the East Palace party would really use what happened seven years ago as a breakthrough and start attacking the queen's henchmen! If King Rong's matter is really found out, will it be characterized as an infighting between courtiers, or a real "collaborator with the enemy and treason"?!

&nb When the right prime minister didn't point the finger at them, the Shangguan clan had better be a man with his tail between his legs.

&nb And the Xiliang side - the prince took over the performance of the right prime minister, and immediately issued an order to summon the king of Xiliang to Beijing.

&nb Xiliang is quite an interesting place. In just ten years, the king of Xiliang has changed four terms.

&nb The current king of Xiliang is the youngest uncle of Emperor Huaike, Tuoba Yu who was born as a concubine.

&nb Six years ago, Emperor Huaike's husband, Tuoba Zhen, died of illness. Tuoba Zhen was frail and sickly, and Emperor Ji was still young, and the two failed to leave their bloodlines. The emperor in the capital was also helpless about this, so he had to pass the title to the concubine's younger brother according to the law.

&nb In addition to the horses in the Xiliang Mansion, there are two sons who have been raised, and there is a son of the outer chamber who has been kept outside. The title was first passed to the eldest son Tuoba Rong.

&nb At that time, Emperor Huai Ke had already become a helpless widow because of the death of her husband. Tuoba Rong decisively drove her out of the palace and ordered her to become a monk in a temple in Yunzhou. Fan Yu and the female stream couldn't resist, and honestly became a nun.

&nbTuoba Rong who sat on the throne was proud. However, he didn't be happy for long, one day he feasted in the house, he inexplicably drank and died suddenly, and the title of Xiliang was inherited by the third son of the old prince, Tuoba Ying.

&nb's request for Tuoba Ying to be the king has not yet arrived in the capital, and there is a scandal in the Xiliang Mansion that Tuoba Ying robbed the people's daughters. The officials of the Western Liang refuted Tuoba Ying in unison, and a month later, they elected Tuoba Yu, the son of the Outer Family, who had been living abroad for many years and came from humble origins, as the new king.

&nb Tuoba Yu got the knighthood in this way. He was young, only ten years old on the day he was ordained, and he took this big pie in a daze. He really couldn't imagine that he was just an illegitimate son who discredited the palace, but the eldest brother died of illness, and the two elder brothers fought for the title, and finally cheapened him.

&nbThe sister-in-law in the temple seems to have seen through the red dust and is not interested in the battle in the house at all. He began his happy life with joy.

&nbAfter four or five days of heavenly goodness, bad news came from the capital - he was involved in the political struggle of the courtiers in the capital.

&nb He wants to cry without tears, how did King Rong die seven years ago, what does it have to do with him!

&nb, but now he has something to do with him! He is the king of Xiliang, and the capital has found out Xiliang through the old accounts, so who is he looking for! If it was really his father who killed King Rong back then, the father would repay the debt and the son would be righteous!

&nb Those Western Liang officials, headed by Feng Huaien, were obedient to him on the surface, but in fact they didn't take him seriously at all. Feng Huaien and others didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and blindly supported King Wu. Tuoba Yu came from a humble background and had not received much education since he was a child, he only wanted to live a good life of glory and wealth, and was not interested in the battle between the princes. He dissuaded Feng Huaien and the others many times not to go against Donggong again, but no one was willing to listen to him.

&nbNow it's okay! The right prime minister has come to the door!

&nb He was frightened, cried bitterly and followed Qin Cha into the car, and was "invited" to the capital.

&nb In the harem, Concubine Lin Yuan watched the fire from the other side, and smiled at the right prime minister who made a fuss in the court.

&nb The right prime minister is a bloody capital this time. He is targeting Xiliang, who is strong and strong, and has great achievements! He was a literati, and he dared to stand on top with military generals in the war-torn era. If he is not careful, Feng Huaien and they will have the ability to eradicate him when they catch their breath.

&nb He was forced by Lin Yuan to be helpless. Lin Yuan is a crazy woman, if he refuses to obey, this woman is really ready to join forces with Zuo Chengxiang.

&nb Queen didn't dare to speak out at this time, the king of Xiliang was too young and had no city skills, so he was brought to the capital at the mercy of others.

&nb The "Hou Party" was silent and did not dare to speak, and among the Wu Wang's henchmen, the Xiliang faction fell into crisis. Soon, there was no longer any opposition among the courtiers to Concubine Shu's northward movement.

&nb On June 27, the 19th year of Qianwu, Lin Yuan went to Changxin Palace to bid farewell to the queen. Shangguan Li said that she was sick and refused to see her, but she didn't dare to openly stop her, but her aunt who was a confidant came out to spread the word and hoped that she would be safe all the way.

&nb She rode in a carriage, without a guard of honor for the concubine, and set off from the palace overnight.

&nb's road hasn't been easy. Lin Yuan had expected that the samurai accompanying her were all her carefully selected henchmen, all of whom were strong in martial arts.

&nbThe capital is 1,500 miles away from Jingbian City, where the emperor is located. She traveled day and night, but was confronted by five groups of Assassins on the way. Daqin is worried about domestic and foreign troubles, and this is not false at all. The great battle between the Xiongnu and the Mongols was tragic, but the dispute between King Wu and the East Palace in the court was equally thrilling. Lin Yuan is the prince's biological mother, how many people want her life.

&nbThe forbidden soldiers around her suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately she was well prepared and came out unharmed, only to be delayed for several days.

&nb Lin Yuan came to the battlefield for the first time in her life. The blood in the air was so heavy that she almost wanted to vomit.

&nb She came unfortunately, the emperor had just led his troops out of the city. Jingbian City is the territory of the Xiongnu, which was captured by the Qin army two years ago, and now the two countries, no, the three kingdoms, are still fighting for this dangerous town in the north. Fifteen miles to the north, on the other side of the Heishui River, there were 30,000 Xiongnu vanguard soldiers and horses stationed. This battle has been fought for half a month, the Huns are all sweaty horse cavalry, few people but fast running, the Qin army came to run back a hundred miles back to the rear barracks, and then came to the night to sneak attack, the Qin army could not be disturbed.

&nb Two hundred miles to the west, it was the Mongol army. The Mongols captured a small city in the northern part of the Qin state, Guan County.

&nb Jingbian City suffered from the enemy on its back, but fortunately, the Qin army had sufficient troops and the emperor came in person, and the city was quite stable. The Mongols did not dare to form an alliance with the Xiongnu, and the three sides fought separately, but they still fought fiercely.

&nb I have to say that Tuoba Hong is a brave emperor. He did not hide in a town a hundred miles away from the front line like an ordinary monarch to "strategize", but personally mounted a horse to kill the enemy.

&nb After days of hand-to-hand combat, blood stained a large area of grass, and every day on the Qin side, wounded people with missing arms and legs were sent back. Jingbian City is naturally full of blood.

&nb In front of Lin Yuan is the three-zhang high bronze gate of Jingbian City, the towering city wall is full of archers of the Qin army, and the walls of loess are coated with a thick layer of coagulated blood, which I heard was caused by the Huns when they attacked the city ten days ago. She was shocked to see, and her expression was full of fear. The officials who came to greet her were all military generals, and they welcomed her in respectfully, and turned their heads and said contemptuously behind their backs:

&nb"It's an imperial concubine, a noble lady in the court, who has never seen a battlefield. You didn't see how scared she was, the concubine in front of her was a martial artist......

&nb "What's the use of being pretty, I heard that it was for the emperor, ahhh Our brothers fought bloodily, and people like them were pampered, and they also tossed to come to Jingbian City to compete for favor! ”

&nbNot only is the blood here pungent, but because of the location on the side, the cold wind and sand are completely different from the canyon where the Zhulu Palace is located.

&nb Walking all the way from the city gate, Lin Yuan had sand stuffed his mouth and nose, and his voice was already hoarse.
