Chapter 718: Ouyang Chen's Conspiracy
Cang Linchen drank half of the Gu chicken soup before he was let go by Xia Yinhuan, and the palace maid who was waiting in the imperial study had already secretly enjoyed it several times.
From ancient times to the present, the emperor who is so afraid of his wife is probably the only one who is in the dust.
It's not so much that he is afraid, it's better that he is spoiling Xia Yinhuan, and he is obedient to her, even if he rides on his head, he is conniving.
Cang Rin Chenrao was already anxious, but he walked to the side hall without hurrying, although he had already guessed the countless personal candidates of the envoys, but he didn't expect it to be Yu Huan.
Seeing Yu Huan's old appearance, compared to seeing him many days ago, he seemed to be much older in an instant, he couldn't help but be cautious, and walked in steadily.
Ouyang Chen actually sent Yu Huan, which he never expected, Yu Huan, as a strategist of the desert, was visited as an envoy, which was inevitably a bit overkill, or did Ouyang Chen give Yu Huan an important task and let him go like this?
"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live your Majesty." Seeing each other again, Yu Huan did not have the slightest shelf, the etiquette was sufficient, and there was no arrogance.
Cang Linchen always felt that Yu Huan was different, and looked up and down before saying to him: "Lord Yu, excuse me, I've come all the way here, I've worked hard all the way." ”
"Yu Huan was fortunate to come to Yasukuni on the order of my lord, how can there be any tiredness, thank Your Majesty for your concern." Yu Huan greeted him with a smile, after all, he was old, and when he smiled, his face showed the deep ravines left by the years.
It's just some polite words, Cang Linchen didn't take it to heart, and walked up to the Taishi chair and sat down, and at this time, Fallen Leaves also walked in and stood beside him.
The wound on the arm of the fallen leaf has already been healed, and the meaning of standing next to Cang Linchen is very obvious, if Yu Huan has a bad intention, the falling leaf will let him stand in and go out sideways today.
"There must be something going on when Lord Yu is on an envoy, so you might as well talk about it." Cang Rinchen was also smiling, but there was no warmth in his tone, he had already begun to guess Yu Huan's purpose, but he couldn't think of anything.
Yu Huan stood up, clapped his hands, and walked into a servant dressed in desert clothes outside the hall, holding a mahogany tray in his hand, on which was the urn of Concubine Yu.
"This is ......" Cang Rinchen looked at the urn, his eyes suddenly dilated, and he couldn't understand whose ashes it was.
As he expected, Yu Huan took out the urn from the tray, held it in his hand and raised it above his head and said to Cang Rinchen: "Back to Your Majesty, this is the ashes of the concubine, and the minister came this time to return the ashes of the concubine to your country, so that the soul of the concubine can return to her hometown." ”
Cang Linchen stood up, a little unsteady for a while, he was thinking about how to get Ye Xinghuan to bring back Concubine Yu's body, but Ouyang Chen had already done it for him.
Falling Leaves hurriedly helped him, and then walked down the steps to take the ashes of Concubine Yu from Yu Huan's hands, held them in his hands, and sent them to Cang Linchen.
The appearance of Concubine Yu dying in his arms kept appearing in front of him, Cang Linchen only felt that his heart was like a knife, even though Concubine Yu was hard to write, but her mother was finally able to return to Yasukuni, and she was very grateful.
"After I thank Ouyang Chen, I will say that I am very happy that he can send back the ashes of his mother." Not only is he grateful, he is now a little skeptical, Ouyang Chen is still thinking about the agreement between the two countries, even if he annexes southern Xinjiang, he will still not interfere with the river water in the future.
"The minister will definitely bring His Majesty's words." Yu Huan buried his head and replied, admiring Ouyang Chen a little more at the moment.
"Mother Concubine ......" Cang Rinchen took the urn in the hand of the fallen leaves, his eyes were full of pain, looking at the urn, he remembered the face of Concubine Yu, and immediately announced: "Concubine Yu is my biological mother, and today her soul returns to her hometown and is named the Empress Dowager Heyi, buried in Zhaoling, and buried with the first emperor and the queen mother!" ”
What Concubine Yu wanted before her death was to get the position of the queen mother, and when she was alive, Cang Linchen was disappointed by her, and she could only do something for her after she went west.
Although it is just a false name, I also hope that Concubine Yu can rest in peace under Jiuquan, and I hope she can understand that he has always regarded her as a mother, just as important as the queen mother who raised him and raised him as an adult.
After finishing speaking, Cang Linchen didn't have anything to say to Huan, and he could only say to Huan considering the etiquette: "Lord Yu must be tired from wading through mountains and rivers, now let's rest at the post station, he will feast on Lord Yu to show his gratitude." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yu Huan knew that it was useless to stay longer, and when he heard him say that he wanted to feast himself, he just smiled bitterly, I am afraid that he will not be able to catch up with the banquet in his life.
As soon as Yu Huan left, Cang Linchen immediately arranged the sealing of the matter, and the burial of the Queen Mother was an important matter, although it was not as grand as the death of the Queen Mother, but it was also a great pomp.
It was snowing in the palace, and the white satin on the courtyard of the pavilion made people feel cold for a while, and on the day of the burial, Xia Yinhuan also went to Zhaoling.
There are a lot of plum blossoms in Zhaoling, which bloom like the beauty of the imperial garden in the palace, but she has no time to appreciate it, looking at the dust full of sadness, her heart is also faintly painful.
Cang Rinchen's love for the Empress Dowager He Yi is clear to her, because she feels that the Empress Dowager He Yi died too unjustly, in fact, she has no need to poison the Empress Dowager, and there is no need to force the palace, and when she is old, Cang Rinchen can crown her as the Empress Dowager, but unfortunately she can't wait, but it's a pity that she has too deep resentment.
As a result, he was finally lured and killed by Tuoba Celi, but he couldn't hate Tuoba Ce, saved the lives of the two of them, and now his life and death are uncertain.
Grievances and grievances are inextricably linked, who is right and who is wrong, and how to distinguish between right and wrong, all of which are cause and effect cycles.
Xia Yinhuan listened to the sound of mourning and music, and kowtowed three times in front of the tomb, but at this time she felt that the Buddhist scriptures were so reasonable.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, Cang Rinchen helped her up, looked at the blood in the sky, and after a while, Zhaoling had been decorated into a silver and white piece, he held Xia Yinhuan and said: "It seems that God is mourning the concubine, I hope she can be blind in the spirit of the sky." ”
"Well, wasn't she relieved at the end?" Concubine Yu was jealous all her life, resentful all her life, and she didn't wake up until she died, but it was too late.
"Alright, let's go back, it's too cold." Cang Rinchen was saddened by the death of Concubine Yu, but he was also worried that Xia Yinhuan would catch a cold, people would not be resurrected after death, the people who went had already gone, and the important thing for people to live was to cherish the people in front of them.
Xia Yinhuan bowed, and the two were about to leave, but they saw Ye Xinghuan slowly walking out from under the plum tree, holding a white background, plum blossom pattern tung oil umbrella in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, I just got the news that Yu Huan hanged himself at the post station." Every time the appearance of the night Xinghuan always carries the news that everyone is stunned.
When Cang Linchen heard this, he immediately said, "It's not good, it's Ouyang Chen's conspiracy." ”
Why did Yu Huan hang himself, but he hanged himself in the post station of Yasukuni, and he felt panicked, thinking that Ouyang Chen still remembered some old feelings for him, and actually came to such a trick.
Xia Yinhuan hadn't been able to figure out the truth yet, seeing that Cang Linchen was about to leave, she also followed, although she didn't know why Yu Huan wanted to kill herself, seeing Cang Linchen's nervous appearance, it was obviously not a good thing.
"Someone, send the queen back to the palace." Cang Rinchen didn't want Xia Yinhuan to go with him, what was there to look at the dead, and he was afraid that the desert soldiers who stayed in the post station would rebel, just like they were in the hot summer city, and they had to guard against it.
Xia Yinhuan wanted to go, but seeing that his brows were dyed white by snow, and his hair was full of snowflakes, as if he was white in the blink of an eye, she swallowed back into her stomach what she was about to say.
Sometimes, she thought, he had his own things to do, and she couldn't even help him by his side, at most it would be in the way.
When Cang Linchen and Ye Xinghuan arrived, Yu Huan's body had already been picked up from the white silk on the beam, and he was lying quietly on the bed, as if he was asleep.
His tongue drooped to his mouth, and his eyes widened as if they were going to roll off at any moment, which was terrifying.
Cang Linchen glanced at it and didn't want to look at it anymore, and asked Ye Xinghuan with some undecided thoughts: "You said, was his death premeditated or couldn't think about it for a while." ”
If he couldn't think about it for a while, he would have to send Huan's body back to the desert, and if it was premeditated, he should be preparing how to deal with the desert now.
"It should have been premeditated, he left a letter." Ye Xinghuan said and pointed to a piece of letter on the table: "Brother Fang Cai has already read the contents, and the letter is a message from Ouyang Chen to His Majesty, saying that he is grateful for what His Majesty has done in the desert." ”
Thank?
Cang Rinchen's sword eyebrows tightened, and he hurriedly picked up the letter and glanced at it, the letter said that it was grateful, but it was undoubtedly laughing at him, laughing at him for making a wedding dress for Ouyang Chen.
"How is it good now? actually let him calculate again. Cang Linchen frowned, he had already expected what was going to happen, Yu Huan's death, but he never thought of it.
Ye Xinghuan shook his head: "Now there is no other way to let Tianhe City wait for it." ”
In other words, this battle is inevitable, Ouyang Chen sent Yu Huan to send back Concubine Yu's ashes for a long time planned how to provoke trouble, and as soon as Yu Huan died, there would be a cause for war.
Cang Rinchen originally thought that if there was to be a war, Ouyang Chen had just attacked Southern Xinjiang, and he should rectify it for a while, maybe he would not launch an attack until Southern Xinjiang was settled, but he didn't expect him to be so anxious.
"Actually, it's not necessarily a failure." Ye Xinghuan also analyzed: "Although the desert has annihilated southern Xinjiang, it is necessary to allocate a part of the troops to garrison southern Xinjiang and suppress the rebel army in southern Xinjiang. ”
"That being said, do you know that the treasury is empty and there is not enough food and grass, and if the desert starts to delay tactics, the longer it lasts, the more unfavorable it will be for our army." Cang Linchen hadn't thought of Ye Xinghuan yet, he paused and pursed his thin lips and opened his mouth again: "Send an additional 50,000 soldiers and horses to Tianhe City, and 100,000 soldiers and horses are ready to support at any time." ”
This battle is about to start, Ye Xinghuan and Cang Rinchen both know it, and look at the tragic situation of Yu Huan's death, Cang Rinchen shook his head and ordered: "Let the news of Yu Huan's death be passed to Ouyang Chen first, although it was all planned by him, since he wants to fight, he will have a good time." ”
"I'm afraid not." Ye Xinghuan raised his eyes and looked at a carrier pigeon flying out of the post station, gradually moving away in the snow, heading towards the direction of the desert.
There is no need for them to tell Ouyang Chen, naturally someone will tell Ouyang Chen about this, but in two days, Ouyang Chen must know that the chess pieces have been arranged, and it is time to move troops.
"The time to dispatch soldiers and horses to Tianhe City is urgent, so let's leave immediately." Cang Rinchen said, and walked out of the door of the post station with a flick of his long sleeves, he had to hurry up, and Ouyang Chen knew the news in two days, giving him half a day to send troops to Tianhe City, that is to say, he could only be given two and a half days at most to prepare.
