Her eyes were still fixed on Lin Yuan's back, but there were bursts of exclamations from the palace people behind her: "Little Lord Chun has been rescued...... Tell the Imperial Doctor! ”

Concubine Jing was struck by lightning and staggered back. She saw Chun Ronghua wearing a thick robe and being held by two palace maids, she was still conscious, and she was bending over and spitting water with difficulty.

The guards who saved the people also climbed ashore. Concubine Jing's eyes were sharp, and she immediately saw one of the generals who looked like a leader, holding a knife in his hand.

Going into the water to save people with knives will only sink more! What does he do with a knife!

Concubine Jing's eyes turned red with hatred, so she only cared about dealing with Lin Yuan, and she neglected Zhang Yihuan in the pond! I don't know which clever person thought of it, he used a knife to cut off the aquatic plants that entangled Zhang Yihuan's legs and feet!

Concubine Jing has always been meticulous in her work, in order to be foolproof, she had already arranged for someone to jump down with her among the palace maids, pretending to save people. She also kept standing not far away and staring at the movement in the water to prevent changes.

But she still failed.

Zhang Yihuan is not dead!

A lot of thoughts are hooked between the lightning and flint. Yes, where is Hui Zhaoyi willing to let Zhang die? Implicated in the matter of the former empress, who would dare not be cautious, she would be stupid enough to personally stab the results of the investigation to the emperor? What if there is something wrong with the investigation, the first queen died of dystocia, and she slandered the queen for being poisoned?

It is useful to keep Zhang's family.

She snorted coldly, and Man Bu stepped forward to check on the Zhang family with the rest of the concubines. At this time, the emperor had ordered someone to come over to lift Zhang Yihuan, and it was okay to look at her, and Tuoba Hong didn't care too much. It's just that he was very upset, Concubine Jing's birthday banquet could cause chaos, and in anger, he ordered that all the palace maids who served the soup be executed.

"Your Majesty, you are angry, isn't Rong Hua fine?" Concubine Jing pulled a smile and gently comforted the emperor: "Send Rong Hua back, let's continue to eat." You see, several dancers in Tibet are waiting to perform......"

Takubahiro nodded in agreement. It seemed that there was only a small accident, and then everyone took their seats, and soon they were talking and laughing again.

Concubine Jing could no longer settle down.

Drink all day and then end in the evening. Naturally, the emperor left early to go to the government, but Shangguan Li liked it very much, so he stayed to play. Lin Yuan sat and ate, and when she couldn't eat, and when Tuoba Qi's child slept like a pig again, she had to say goodbye and leave.

"Zhaoyi Niangniang, what about rouge?!" Qi Chengyu gasped and stood in the inner room of the Yuzhao Palace. She came all the way: "No, no! The two of us are going to die soon! Look at the danger today......"

Lin Yuan carried Tuoba Qi back to the warm pavilion, and then turned around to deal with Qi Chengyu. She glanced at the other party and said coldly: "I've disappointed you, I'm here to coax Concubine Jing today." That rouge can't be detected. ”

"!" Qi Chengyu was very frightened. She knelt down and said, "Our lives are tied to that little box!" ”

"Do you think this palace is a god?" Lin Yuan looked at her impatiently: "Who knows what the hell is there!" Even Imperial Doctor Liang said that there was no problem! Rong Hua, you should understand that if Concubine Jing dares to use this method to poison the queen, she will definitely do a good job, there are some strange poisons in this world, and Hua Tuo can't find out when he is alive! ”

Lin Yuan did bother to check, but as she said, she didn't find out.

She decided to give up the two boxes of rouge.

Qi Chengyu slumped on the ground in panic: "That...... What should we do......"

"You go back first." Lin Yuan waved his hand.

Qi Chengyu didn't ask for it again. For Hui Zhaoyi, she and Zhang Yihuan just have some use value. And how can you survive under Concubine Jing's nose? She was on her own.

Lin Yuan changed her bedclothes and got into the quilt early. Not only Zhang and Qi were anxious, but she also felt anxious about Concubine Jing. Rouge's methods are so desperate that she is afraid that she will not be able to find out in her life.

Before she could come up with a way, there was chaos in the court.

On August 16, the twelfth year of Qianwu, Chu Dakai, the governor of Huguang and the mighty general of Erpin, died in the battle of Xia.

When the announcement came, Takubahiro stared at him and was stunned for three seconds. Then, with a wave of his hand, he smashed the black jade bone fan on the dragon case to the ground.

The handle of the fan shattered. The herald, covered in dust and blood-stained robes, knelt on the main hall and shouted, "My emperor! General Chu led 50,000 soldiers and horses to capture the summer capital Xiping Mansion! Xia destroys the country! Although General Chu is dead, his soul will not be extinguished......"

"Why did he go to die!" Tuoba Hong stood up and shouted: "Chu Dakai is good at ambushes and has a thorough battle!" What if the 50,000 pioneers capture Xiping, if they don't have the backing to respond, they will soon lose again......"

Many years later, this date became a strong stroke in the history of the Qin Dynasty. Needless to say, General Chu's posthumous name is enough to make future generations bow and worship after annexing the Xia Kingdom.

However, in the eyes of Tuoba Hong, such a hasty attack is harmless. He is a prince who has been on the battlefield and is quite good at leading troops in battle. If General Chu can fight steadily and advance the front little by little, Xia Guo will succeed sooner or later. He led 50,000 pioneers to attack, but in the end he won a miserable victory, and Xia Guoguo couldn't hold it even if he was defeated, and he had to start from scratch after he lost......

"What about the Northwest Cavalry, is there no backup?!" Tuoba Hong said angrily: "Fifty thousand pioneers, almost all the troops were wiped out along with the commander? ”

"Hundreds of thousands of defenders in the northwest, the general was originally ...... Originally, he ordered the army to be stationed three hundred miles behind the vanguard...... "The originally passionate herald was scolded by the emperor and lost his confidence." He also finally felt that this time to break through the summer capital was really not a happy event worth celebrating. He said in a hurry: "However, somehow halfway through, the army did not arrive in time......

Tuoba Hong stood for a long time, and finally sighed: "That's it, the battlefield is unpredictable, and I also understand." "It seems that Chu Dakai is also thoughtful, but on the battlefield, both the enemy and us are full of tricks, and the hundreds of thousands of troops who followed the vanguard are dragged, resulting in the inability to return to help.

As Tuoba Hong expected, a battle report of the loss of Xiping Mansion was sent from the northwest soon after.

After the death of General Chu, his body was packed in a red Nanmu coffin and transported back to the capital with great momentum, and was greeted by the surrounding people on their knees along the way. Although the emperor was not satisfied with his tactics, it was undeniable that the moment he broke through the capital of Xia was the time that went down in history, and the whole of Great Qin regarded him as a hero. In the decades that followed, the city of Xipingfu fell five times and changed hands five times—robbed by the Mongols and the Qin state, but eventually acquired by the Qin state.

The first capture of the Qin army in the twelfth year of Qianwu became the beginning of the annexation of the Xia Kingdom.

The Western Xia battlefield was not chaotic because of the death of the commander. Tuoba Hong soon sent the king of Western Liang to withdraw from the Xiongnu border to reinforce the Chu army, and immediately promoted the deputy general Luo Rongzhen to the commander-in-chief. General Luo was originally a rich son of noble birth, and his grandmother was Jingzong's eldest emperor, but this person still has some skills, his family discipline is strict, and he went to the battlefield at a young age. Now that he has today's status, he has also risen to prominence by virtue of his military exploits.

Above the court, the remarks of "the world is dedicated to Qin" gradually began to gather. The Xia Kingdom was overthrown in just one year, and people were greedy, and many courtiers, including Tuoba Hong, began to fantasize about the grand occasion of Qin's annexation of all countries. Tuoba Hong began to send troops from all over the country to send additional troops to the border of the Xia State, hoping to recapture Xiping Mansion again and turn the Xia State into the territory of the Qin State as soon as possible.

Even such remarks began to circulate among the people of the Qin State.

From Tuoba Hong, Lin Yuan clearly saw the shadows of Napoleon and the Russian Tsar in the official history, both of whom were monarchs keen on invasion and annexation. However, their fate is not optimistic, and their blind expansion has led to the emptiness of national strength, and what they get is only a huge empty shell. In the end, they took the exhausted sergeants and died in the last battle.

The same is true of today's Qin State, which is far from being strong enough to dominate the world.

However, Lin Yuan was not qualified to persuade the emperor, and there was no need to care about the entire Qin State. She only has to worry about the harem.

After the death of General Chu in battle, Tuoba Hong posthumously crowned him as King Rong according to the law, and the son of the Chu family was demoted to the rank of King of Rongjun. Tian Guifei was crowned Shuyuan because of her father's military exploits.

However, such a Jin Feng, which was full of glory, did not bring good luck to Chu Huashang.

Liu's loss of a son caused a stir in the harem. Previously, Chu Huashang had the support of her father, even if Tuoba Hong was suspicious of her, he was afraid that her father would not confine and interrogate her. After the death of General Chu in battle, all this was different.

First of all, Empress Shangguan reacted. Half a month after Chu Huashang was canonized, she once again provoked a storm to thoroughly investigate the truth of Liu's miscarriage. And soon, she grounded Chu Huasheng in Xianfu Palace.

The empress received the emperor's tacit approval for this move. She began to torture Chu Huasheng's personal palace people, and after one of them was beaten into a trick, Chu Huashang was dragged out of Xianfu Palace by her and thrown into the Shen Punishment Division. At this time, Tuoba Hong did not interfere at all, after the death of General Chu, Chu Huashang lost its value, if this little girl stripped off the word "origin", the position in Tuoba Hong's heart was not Erer.

At the same time, Shangguan Li slandered in front of the emperor, Tuoba Hong favored the queen, and hated Liu's tragic death, so he didn't want to care about Chu Huashang's life or death.

Lin Yuan watched coldly, she had to admit that an emperor was ruthless, but she also felt that Chu Huashang had come to this point by her own sin. Unlike the "loyal love and affection" she dedicated to the emperor, Chu Huashang ignored this, she naively thought that she could go on steadily by virtue of her background. As a woman, her biggest failure is not giving enough love.

She is a cold value carrier in Tuoba Hong's heart, and what she did - she once designed to murder Lin Yuan in the epiphany flower garden, and finally killed Ren's mother and son; Now he is involved in the Liu turmoil. All this chilled the emperor's heart.
