Chapter 130: Donglang is defeated
He was the same age as Moshu, and Yu Zhiyan thought that his Moshu didn't know life and death, and he didn't know where to float, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
Who knew that the little emperor actually came straight to Yu Zhiyan, his hands were open, and his little mouth kept murmuring, "Hug-"
Yu Zhiyan stretched out his hand and hugged the little emperor in his arms, who knew that the little emperor actually reached out to pick the hairpin on her bun, because of the force, his feet kicked randomly, and a pair of feet only ran towards her stomach.
The first to react was Gu Jue next to her, who lifted the little emperor up at once, and then threw it on the ground.
The little emperor was frightened and began to cry.
Everyone panicked when they saw this, but they didn't expect Gu Jue to throw the emperor like this, especially the Queen Mother, who was sitting on the main seat, and her face changed.
At this time, King Xian hurriedly stood up, looking like he was watching a good show, "General Gu, how can you be so ignorant of respect and humility, although the emperor is young, he is also the master of the world." ”
The Queen Mother hurriedly stood up from the phoenix seat, hurriedly walked to the little emperor, and then coaxed him softly: "If you mess around like this, your uncle will be annoyed, and in the future, remember the words of the mourning family, and the rules will be in order." ”
When King Xian heard this, his face suddenly changed, thinking that the queen mother asked the little emperor to call Gu Jue uncle, presumably to tell him not to meddle in things, people are a family.
The little emperor stopped crying, and then nodded obediently.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother hurriedly carried him to the throne, but Gu Jue never said a word, as if everything just now was just a farce and had nothing to do with him.
Although the atmosphere in this imperial garden was tense, Yu Zhiyan, who had been tired from the journey, only felt a burst of sleepiness hit her, and in a trance, she actually fell asleep on the chair.
Gu Jue was looking at everyone coldly, but when he saw that there was no movement around him, he couldn't help but turn his head to look, and he actually laughed out loud.
I saw Yu Zhiyan resting his head on his arm, and his thin lips were tightly pursed together, like a well-behaved cat, which made people can't help but feel sorry in their hearts when they see it.
Originally, the banquet was very quiet, and his laughter really attracted everyone's attention.
The Queen Mother hurriedly said to the palace maids: "Go and serve the general's wife to sleep in the palace and clean up the Chaoyun Palace." ”
The palace maids were about to come over, but they saw Gu Jue hugging Yu Zheyan in her sleep. But Yu Zhiyan found a comfortable position in his arms, and then fell asleep.
Gu Jue ignored everyone's expressions, and only carried her away.
The people at the banquet were all royal relatives and nobles, princes and ministers, but when they saw Gu Jue leaving everyone behind, their faces were full of anger.
**********
Chaoyun Hall is not far from the Imperial Garden, and the sound of silk and bamboo from the Imperial Garden can be faintly heard through the window.
The palace people had already made up the bed properly, and then respectfully retreated. Gu Jue gently placed Yu Zhiyan on the bed, and just wanted to cover it for her
The thin bedding was thin, but I saw her open her eyes.
Gu Jue saw that her eyes were clear, and she looked like she was asleep.
He was a little stunned, "You haven't slept all this time." ”
Yu Zhenyan moved inside, freed up a large piece of space for him, and then said with a smile: "I see that you are very tired at the banquet, if not, you will not find a chance to slip over." ”
Seeing her eyes flickering, Gu Jue hurriedly reached out and tapped the tip of his nose, "You scheming girl, even I was calculated by you." ”
After he finished speaking, he lay down beside her, and the two of them looked at each other, and he mixed with the smell of wine, and gently brushed her face.
Yu Zhiyan involuntarily reached out to caress his handsome eyebrows, and his movements were gentle as if he had touched a rare treasure.
The hall was surprisingly quiet, only the crackling of candles remained, and the light of the octagonal palace lamp reflected the shadows of the two of them on the veil.
"I'm afraid you'll be leaving in a while." Yu Zhiyan's eyes seemed to be wet, "I'm afraid I won't even have time to say goodbye." ”
Gu Jue saw that her eyes were full of sadness, but she couldn't find words to comfort her, so she only said: "I'll be back soon, don't forget that your husband is the god of war." ”
Yu Zhiyan knew that he didn't have to worry about using soldiers like a god, but he still told him carefully, "The sword has no eyes, and it is better to take care of your life." ”
The candle flame was extinguished, and she was seen to be green and silky, and she was naturally charming, which was this sad state, and it also moved men all over the world.
He put down the hand around her neck, wrapped his arms around her waist, held her tightly in his arms, and kissed her cold lips fiercely as soon as he lowered his head.
There is a faint fragrance between her hair buns, like musk deer, like sandalwood but not sandalwood, soft fragrance and red face, which makes people sink incessantly.
At this moment, he even wanted to take her to the battlefield with him.
After a long time, he slowly let go of her slender waist, but heard the voice of the palace maid from outside the hall: "General Gu, the Queen Mother summoned you to the Imperial Garden to discuss the matter of sending troops." ”
Gu Jue shouted unhappily: "General Ben knows." ”
Yu Zhiyan slowly closed his eyes, but said in a casual voice, "Let's go." ”
He reluctantly glanced at her, then looked at his slightly bulging belly and said, "I promise that I will be by your side when the child in your womb is born." You have been living in the palace these days, and now there is chaos in the capital, and this is the safest place. ”
Yu Zhiyan pushed his shoulder fiercely, "Look at your long-winded appearance, you look like an old woman." ”
Gu Jue turned around and walked towards the gate of the hall, suddenly stopped again, and suddenly turned around and said, "I will bring Moshu back to you." ”
**********
The continuous rush had already exhausted Yu Zhiyan's physical strength, and when she woke up, she vaguely heard the sound of horns coming from outside the palace gate, which shook the windows and buzzed.
Yu Zhiyan stood up, but saw Ling Ning pushing the door in, and saw that she was awake, so he said, "Madame is awake, the slave and maid are serving you to change your clothes." ”
Yu Zhiyan didn't even wear shoes, stepped on the cold ground, and asked urgently, "What about Donglang?" ”
Ling Ning hurriedly said: "Back to Mrs. Hui's words, the army has already gathered in front of Wen Chongmen, and the drums were beaten just now, this time I am afraid that I have already left." ”
Hearing this, Yu Zhiyan hurriedly ran outside the palace, and most of the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace went out to see the excitement, and there was no one empty.
Yu Zhiyan only ran to the Wen Chongmen, and then ran to the top of the arrow tower, watching the 50,000 army from a distance rushing out of the city like flowing water.
And Yu Zhiyan still found Gu Jue in the crowd, he rode a tall horse and stood majestically at the palace gate.
He raised his head and saw Yu Zhiyan at a glance, and the two of them looked at each other, although they didn't say a word, they were worth a thousand words.
The two stared at each other for a long time before Gu Jue waved his whip, and the horse rushed towards the crowd like an arrow, until Yu Zhiyan could no longer find him.
When the mighty army could no longer see a trace, Yu Zhiyan slowly came down from the city tower.
At this time, she felt a burst of pain under her feet, it turned out that she had forgotten to put on her shoes because she was in such a hurry.
She endured the pain and walked a few steps, but saw Ling Ning hurrying over, Xu had been looking for her for a long time, and she was sweating profusely.
She took out the shoes in her hand and put them on Yu Zhiyan, and then saw that she was still wearing a bedgown, and there was no hairpin ring on her head, so she just wanted to go back quickly, so as not to be seen by others This unseemly appearance.
Ling Ning walked back with Yu Zhiyan in her arms, and said: "The Queen Mother asked the slave maid to serve you, and she remembered that we were all people who served her before, so she handed over this errand to the slave maid. ”
Yu Zhiyan is so smart, listening to her as a slave, but he doesn't regard her as a master at all. And she also deliberately reminded both of them
used to be a slave maid, but I was afraid that I wanted to tell Yu Zhiyan not to serve her master's shelf.
Now that Gu Jue has just left, she really doesn't have the heart to talk to this girl anymore, if she makes trouble with the Queen Mother, she may not end up with any benefits.
Yu Zhiyan only walked into his dormitory, because his appearance was really embarrassing, and he only picked up places where there were few people.
However, when she walked to the queen mother's bedroom, through the red bricks and green tiles, she faintly heard babbling and singing operas from inside.
She couldn't help biting her head, no wonder it was so easy for Feng Huang to rebel, this Gu Yinglian never cared about the lives of the people.
"A businesswoman doesn't know the hatred of the country." She read this sentence softly, but unexpectedly was listened to by Wang Ken, who came over.
Gu Jue's living king is gone, and Yu Zhiyan, who stayed in the palace, is still not at his disposal, and Wang Ken is naturally more willing to give up this opportunity to punish Yu Zhiyan.
"Mrs. General, what are you talking about, I don't know if your word "ruined country" is known by the Queen Mother, and I think you are also a rebellious minister and thief." Wang Ken said with a provocative face: "Did you say yes?" ”
Yu Zhiyan smiled faintly, not afraid of his threat, "But when I think of this sentence for a while, and how many countries have perished since ancient times, how do you know that I am talking about today." ”
Wang Ken sneered, "The general's wife is naturally born with sharp teeth, and I, a stupid and stupid person, can only pull you to the Queen Mother to distinguish it." ”
"Let's go." Yu Zhiyan actually agreed, "It just so happens that I still have something to tell the Queen Mother, and I just told the emperor about you yesterday."
Repeat those words to the Queen Mother. ”
As soon as he heard this, Wang Ken's face suddenly changed, he didn't believe that he could still hear what she said through such a distant smoke, he just thought that she was deliberately deceiving her.
It's no wonder that he was far away that day, but Yu Zhiyan has practiced listening to dice since she was a child, and her ears are several generations stronger than ordinary people, so it's no wonder that she can hear it clearly.
Seeing that Wang Ken still didn't shed tears when she didn't see the coffin, she touched her bare sideburns, "It's really unfortunate that Mrs. Ben didn't bring that butterfly hairpin." ”
Hearing this, Wang Ken's face turned pale suddenly, and he said with a flattering smile on his face, "What happened just now was a misunderstanding, you have a lot of adults, don't worry about me as a minion." ”
Now that she is under the eaves, she always has to give the face that should be given, and she only smiled: "In the future, please remember that the child in my belly is the blood and blood of the Gu family, if there is one with three long and two short, you can't afford it." ”
Hearing her cold voice, he was suddenly sweating profusely with fright, and said with a flattering face: "Yes, the slave must remember this nonsense." ”
Yu Zhiyan didn't pay any attention to him, just continued to go his own way, and after a while, he returned to his dormitory.
************
Yu Zhiyan thought that Gu Jue would come back soon, but it backfired, knowing that the leaves on the tree were gradually turning yellow, until the autumn chrysanthemum was in full bloom, but the documents from the border pass were defeated.
Gu Jue was defeated and retreated, and only forced to retreat four cities in a row.
Even Yu Zhiyan didn't expect that Gu Jue would lose so quickly.
At the beginning, he only took away 80,000 elite soldiers transferred from all over the country, but with Feng Huang, there were 200,000 troops.
Even when it came to the Wanshou Festival, Gu Yinglian didn't dare to be too extravagant, so she just did it hastily.
However, every time Gu Jue sent a letter to the Queen Mother for 800 miles, he would send a private message to Yu Zhiyan, each time it was just a few strokes, but it was full of sincerity.
Because of Gu Jue's defeat, Gu Yinglian's court was increasingly oppressed, especially the king, who repeatedly said that he would abolish the queen mother and the emperor.
Although Gu Yinglian has no means in the government, she also has some ability to calculate people's hearts, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty still did not abolish the emperor.
After all, if Gu Jue gave up, there would be no second person in the Manchu Dynasty to compete with Gu Jue.
Yu Zhiyan also raises his body every day in the palace, although he is clothed and fed every day, and he is supported by silk and satin, but because he is worried about Gu Jue, his body is still as delicate as before.
However, her belly is getting bigger day by day, and Gu Yinglian hopes that she will continue the incense for the Gu family, and she also calls the imperial doctor to ask her for peace every day.
On this day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ling Ning offered melons, fruits, moon cakes and other things on the table early.
The queen mother ordered the eunuchs to go out of the palace to buy some folk things for the emperor, but the eunuchs only bought some rabbits, clay figures and the like.
Gu Yinglian saw the festivities, so she ordered someone to send some of Yu Zheyan.
Yu Zhiyan saw the things outside the palace, so he only thought that he was going out of the palace to pray in the temple today, so he went straight to the queen mother's bedroom.
When she arrived, she saw a painting on Gu Yinglian's table, and the man on the scroll had picturesque eyebrows, as elegant as a god, and was not stained with dust.
Yu Zhiyan saw that the corners of her eyes were red, and she must have been sad.
She couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, it seemed that the most sincere person to be sealed was Gu Yinglian.
Hearing the footsteps, the Queen Mother's eyes still fell on the scroll, "This painting is from the former Queen Mother's palace, although it was painted by a famous artist, but it has never painted half of his style." ”
Now that Feng Huang is a traitor, Yu Zhiyan doesn't know how to accept such words. If you say the wrong thing, no one in this palace can intercede for you.
Just when Yu Zhiyan was silent, Gu Yinglian said in a painful voice: "In fact, in this world, you are the most envious of the mourning family." He never cares about his children's private feelings, but when he sees you, his eyes are so different. ”
Yu Zhiyan sighed, "Some feelings are true or false, and you can't tell them with your eyes. ”
Gu Yinglian became more and more sad when she heard this, and then she raised her head and glanced at Yu Zhiyan, "You came here to see the mourning family, what is the matter?" ”
Only then did Yu Zhiyan say respectfully: "The concubine wants to go to the temple outside the city." ”
Gu Yinglian didn't stop Ming, and only asked dozens of guards to accompany her. Yu Zhiyan knelt down to thank him and went out of the palace with Ling Ning.
When the carriage walked to the market, it saw that the market was becoming more and more desolate, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there were only a few vendors.
Yu Zhiyan went to the Qixia Temple outside the city, where the incense was vigorous, presumably they all came to pray for their family and friends.
Master Pudu in the monastery saw that a noble person had come to the palace and hurriedly invited her to the meditation room.
Ling Ning hurriedly offered a hundred taels of silver, and after the master thanked him, he was just about to go out, but he heard Yu Zhenyan say: "Give me a hexagram, I want to know what my husband's fate is?" ”
Master Pudu hurriedly asked the little monk to come over with the stick, and after Yu folded the cigarette and smoked a bamboo stick, he respectfully handed it over, "I'm still bothering the master to help me solve it." ”
When the monk saw the sign, he couldn't help but shake his head, "It's a sign, but it's hard to solve the mess, and the cause and effect are all predetermined." ”
As soon as Yu Zhiyan wanted to ask, the old monk had already left.
Ling Ning saw the complexity of Yu Zhiyan's face, and hurriedly said: "Madame doesn't know, this monk is the best at being sloppy like this, and General Gu's life is actually something that others can see." ”
Her words made Yu Zhiyan's heart relax, but the way back to the palace was still full of thoughts.
However, what she didn't expect was that when she was in the city again, it would already be a big mess. The people on the street kept running again, the man still holding the soft in his hands, and the lady holding the child in her arms.
The crowd of people kept loading the wagon that was sitting in a smoky way, and even the horse was frightened and rushed into the crowd.
The guards drew their swords and protected Yu Zhiyan, and if something happened to her, no one else could afford to take care of her.
The first to panic was Ling Ning, and she nervously asked Yu Zhiyan, "Madam, did you say that the rebels rushed to the capital, didn't you?"
”
Yu Zhiyan didn't know what was going on, he just wanted to hurry back to the palace.
She was full of worries along the way, she kept thinking about the monk's words, could it be that Gu Jue was really defeated, and Feng Huang entered the capital, so these people wanted to flee for their lives?
It wasn't until she arrived in the palace that she saw Gu Yinglian instructing the palace guards to load boxes of gold, silver and jewelry into hundreds of carriages, until they could no longer be stuffed, and they were discarded on the road.
The gold and silver treasures that were soon everywhere on the road were picked up by the eunuch and palace maid and quietly stuffed into their sleeves.
Yu Zhiyan hurriedly walked over, forgot to salute, and said to Gu Yinglian with a pale face: "Queen Mother, what's wrong?" ”
Hearing that it was her voice, Gu Yinglian turned her head but her face was full of joy, "You can be regarded as coming back, Donglang lost four more cities, and soon the traitor will enter the capital, let's flee to Jiangnan." ”
Hearing this, Yu Zhiyan fell to his knees with a thud, "The reason why Feng Huang was able to capture so many cities is just because the defenses of each city are arranged according to his orders, only the capital is a secret defense, which is difficult for him to overcome, if we all leave, this will become an empty city, and he will be isolated when he returns." ”
Hearing this, Gu Yinglian's face changed and said angrily: "Do you want to wait for death here, if you don't want to leave, you can only wait here." ”
Yu Zhiyan knew that Gu Yinglian would not stay and wait for Gu Jue.
She knew that Gu Jue was now in Youzhou, but the 30,000 troops guarding the Beijing Division had become his last support, but he didn't care
couldn't be counted, his own sister didn't care about his life and death, and ran away first.
Ling Ning also went to pack up his things, and the guards and eunuchs and palace maids only collected the gold, silver and jewelry, and even the gems on the dragon's eye on the jade pillar were also detained and taken away.
But no one went to take the things in the imperial dining room, after all, they couldn't even take the jewelry, and who cared about that.
