"Finally...... I even wanted to say that it was final. Holding the sugar painting in his hand and sighing, I called Qu to get some broken silver, and when Shan Guo was busy shirking, a eunuch appeared out of nowhere, and after finishing the ceremony, he came to Shan Guo's ear and said a few words. Shan Guo almost changed color, and vaguely explained that Xiao Xun was looking for him, and hurriedly resigned.

I went back to the hall and looked at the black and white letters on the desk, the ink had not yet dried, and I couldn't help but start to trance. The last time I met Huan Ke was last autumn. At that time, in a hurry, he rescued me from Meng Yehan's hands, I was originally full of panic, but after seeing him, I was very surprised, and I had no time to ask Hu Ru how the situation was. Whether he has been doing well these days, he has been bullied and oppressed by Huan Ping, he has been restrained by the Queen Mother, and he has been struggling and in danger......

Now I am writing this letter, hoping that it will reach Huan Ke on the ninth day of the second month. The most important thing for him and me is not the so-called great cause, but peace and joy for each other. Originally, according to the original plan set in the Western Wilderness, Xiao Xianhui would contact Huan Ke and Zong Zhengxu after successfully infiltrating Zhongshu City, and the three of them would discuss when to act. I was hoping to get news of Huan Ke's dispatch of troops to confirm his wellness, but I was also worried that if he led his army into battle, he would inevitably be injured. All kinds of complicated thoughts were mixed, and I was still nervous until I handed the envelope to the end of the song.

On the ninth day of the second month of February, after getting up in the morning, Hu Ru's official declaration of war on Lianghong spread throughout the Three Kingdoms, and he received a letter from Huan Ke in the afternoon, and the day of the letterhead was the same as the day I sent the letter.

Huan Ke said in the letter that since he and I parted for the night last autumn, he was harassed by Huan Ping in every way after he returned to Hu Ru. The main force of Huan Ping is Chaolong, the old capital of Hu Ru, and he has been missing his ancestral land all these years. When Emperor Hu Ruxian made the decision to move the capital, Huan Ping was unwilling. Huan Junlie and Huan Ke jointly designed to plant a large number of locust trees and other trees with auspicious imagery in Chaolong City, and supported Pang Ji and a group of prisoners of war to develop in Chaolong.

These actions were carried out in secret, and Huan Ping only saw the superficial results, and he was in harmony with him, so he repeatedly wrote Huan Junlie, recalling the old words of returning to the capital of Chaolong. and made a big fanfare, spreading rumors, claiming that Huan Ke wanted to usurp the throne and seize power, and instigated the Empress Dowager to eradicate Huan Ke.

Although the Empress Dowager was quite dissatisfied with Huan Ke because of the dispute between the Guo family and the Zhang family, Huan Wei inadvertently said that I had helped Shan Guo when she entered the palace once, and Shan Guo was the brother that Guo Chuan had been looking for for many years. Since then, the Empress Dowager's attitude has softened considerably. At that time, the Empress Dowager supported Hu Ru to move the capital to Sang, and this idea has not changed. Huan Ping couldn't help him, but instead mocked the Empress Dowager for interfering in the government and made her angry, but he personally sent her into the camp of Huan Ke and Huan Junlie.

Taoguang has been obscure for several years, in the late winter of last year, Huan Junlie and Huan Ke planned to review the crimes of the past years, and finally at the beginning of the new year, they united with the courtiers led by Guo Chuan and Zhufeng to impeach Huan Ping and his henchmen. Caught off guard, Huan Commentary was difficult to refute, and was immediately killed by Huan Junlie's order. At this point, the imperial power that had been next to Hu Ru for several years finally fell into the hands of Emperor Huan Junlie.

The Empress Dowager unfortunately passed away due to the previous accumulated work. The important ministers were beheaded, the empress dowager died, and Hu Ru was uneasy. Huan Ke behaved as usual, went in and out chicly, and did not add a retinue of guards, so that the people's hearts gradually stabilized. Most of the people who rebuilt Chaolong were prisoners of war, and they wanted to take advantage of Huan Ping's death and Hu Ru's chaos to flee in all directions. Huan Ke expected it early in the morning, and ordered Guangqi and De, who were stationed in Chaolong, to block and block the city gate overnight, intercept and gather all the prisoners of war, and ensure that they would not be hurt in the slightest, so they could live calmly here, and then withdraw all the soldiers and horses of the army. The prisoners of war watched for a few days, and when they saw that there was really nothing wrong, they were happy and convinced and returned to the Sang court.

The turmoil caused by Huan Ping's death was calmed down in just three days because of Huan Ke. Hu Ru intercepted the news to the outside world, until he decided to attack Lianghong today, Fang announced the world, the regent Wang Huan was sentenced for not being subordinate, Pingzhou Wang Huan Ke made great contributions, it was Hu Ru's frame sea gold beam, and the special royal crown made him the king of Kaiyuan, the hussar general, and fought against Lianghong, attacking everything.

Huan Ke announced this matter to the world on the ninth day of the second lunar month, on the one hand, to inform Zong Zhengxu and Xiao Xianhui to act according to the plan, but more importantly, to know that this news will definitely reach my ears and appease my long-standing anxiety.

It is more convenient to enter and exit the palace alone than at the end of the song, and Huan Ke's letter was retrieved by him for me. Although the letter was not opened, it changed hands several times in the middle of the way, and when it was passed into the hands of Shan Guo, I only made a shy gesture and told him that the person who wrote to me was my fiancé who had made a lifelong agreement with me. In this way, it was temporarily reluctantly intercepted his curiosity about Huan Ke's identity.

With a single position, it is not difficult to understand the coup d'état of Hu Ru. Although I did not tell him the ins and outs of the matter, he could guess most of it with his wisdom. Seeing my worried appearance after reading the letter, Shan Guo comforted: "The fiancé of the emperor is a subordinate of King Hu Ru Kaiyuan, and if he wants to follow the high power of the Kaiyuan throne, he will also be prosperous. There is no need for Queen's worries. ”

I sighed and muttered to myself, almost inaudible: "Liang Mingtang said in the "Song Qing Emperor's Ci", one of the five songs, 'The emperor's residence is shaking, and Long Desi Chun is in the spring. Kaiyuan Buze, including monk Ren'. The meaning of Kaiyuan, although majestic and heavy, is more prone to trouble. If Cheng Kuo is suspected of being shocked in the future......"

With another sigh, I shook my head to drive away the anxiety, raised my eyes to look at the slightly dazed Shan Guo, and changed the subject: "It's okay." On that day, you were suddenly summoned by the emperor, and it was a matter of declaring war for Hu Ru? ”

"Not entirely." His eyebrows gradually frowned, and Shan Guo said in a low voice: "On the same day, not long after Shan Guo bought back the sugar painting for the emperor, the officials and medical officers who had been left behind in the Western Wilderness returned to Zhongshu, saying that His Royal Highness the Ten Princes had died a few months ago due to the plague infection. ”

Seeing that I was silent, I thought I was shocked and sad, and I lowered my voice softly: "The rebellion in the Western Wilderness was originally abrupt, but the imperial court sent people to investigate, but the person who led me has been very cautious and has not been able to know its true face. At first, the emperor suspected that His Royal Highness the Ten Princes were fanning the flames in the Western Wilderness, wanting to cause civil strife and take the opportunity to return to Zhongshu to seize power. However, since His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince had died earlier, the Emperor also let go of his worries and ordered me to give an order to remove the spies who were snooping in the vicinity of the Western Wilderness. ”

Slowly bowing my head, I sneered in my heart, and there was no leakage on my face, and there was no difference. If Xiao Xianhui rebelled as the prince of Lianghong, it would be difficult to gain the trust of the people, not to mention the suspicion of killing his father for power. He only needs to personally hand over all the power to a random person in front of the people who have been subdued, and then fake his death, but in fact manipulate behind his back, and these two scruples will be solved.

And for Xiao Xuan, it is indeed a worry that can be relieved. If Xiao Xianhui raised troops in his own name, the civil strife in Lianghong would never be as simple as it is now. The world ridicules that the matter of tiger and wolf feeding is still small, Xiao Xuan needs to consider family affection and public opinion, and if he does not kill the killer, he will be tied to his hands and feet. I'm afraid that he ordered someone to spy on the true face of the leader of the Western Wilderness Uprising, and at the same time, he had already told the secret agent, if he found that the leader was Xiao Xianhui, he would simply and neatly assassinate the killer directly to prevent future troubles.

Sighing slightly, I lowered my eyes and responded to the single aisle: "Ten Emperor Brothers...... It's also a hit. Thank you, single pass. ”

After thinking for a moment, I muttered again, "So far, you have helped me too much. After all, I now came to Lianghong as the Emperor of the Night, Ji Yijing, as a hostage. The emperor is suspicious, since you have escorted Lingyue to the night, if you have too much contact with me, I am afraid that it will only be harmful and useless. In the future, if there is no very important situation, you and I should not contact each other, but we should not know each other. ”

"Emperor Lingyue ......"

"Naturally, if I want to eat candy again, there will still be a labor guard." The first step stopped the single hesitation, and I teased. After a single pass, he laughed, understanding that what I said was true, and the arch fist should be. Even though he was very careful when he met with me several times, it was difficult for others to accidentally see it occasionally. Even if it is only once, let Xiao Xuan know, no matter how he explains, it is difficult to justify. If I get to that step, not only will everything I have done so far be in vain, but even if I pass alone, I will be doomed.

Five days later, several cities around the Western Wilderness were unveiled. At the beginning, the people in the Western Wilderness who were mixed into the final Shu disappeared like evaporation from the world. Huan Ke led his troops to storm the border of Lianghong in the south, and the momentum was huge, and for a while, Lianghong suffered from the enemy on his back.

Since the ninth day of the second month, I have been accompanying the Empress to the Yongning Palace every day. When chatting, she was also sad because of the war, and I asked cautiously, and the queen sighed: "The courage and good fighting of King Hu Ru Kaiyuan is enough to make the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms fearful. If anyone can try their best to fight with it, there is only Wang Shangshu in the Lianghong court. ”

"But there is still an army in the northwest that fights under the banner of the Western Wilderness, and Wang Shangshu lacks skills." I answered softly, but the queen shook her head solemnly: "Since Wang Shangshu was promoted to the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, he has never gone to the battlefield to fight. This time it was the same. But it seems that some time ago, a doorman went up to Wang Shangshu's mansion, and somehow persuaded Wang Shangshu to put on armor and go into battle to meet King Hu Ru Kaiyuan. ”

"That's a good thing, at least we have to solve the urgent needs of one party." I pretended to be happy, but in fact, I recalled that Huan Ke had said in the past that the most difficult and winning battle he had ever fought was against Wang Ren. And this time it was met on the battlefield again, and it was very likely to be a bitter battle.

Unconsciously frowned, outsiders thought that I was also in an urgent situation for Lianghong. The queen stroked my shoulder: "This is naturally a good thing. The emperor was overjoyed and rewarded Wang Shangshu. When he was about to think about who to send to deal with the rebels in the Western Wilderness, Wang Shangshu recommended it without warning...... Ling Kun. ”

"Ling Kun? Who is he? "As far as I know, within the scope of Lianghong's courtiers, at least among Lianghong's important ministers, there is no such person's name.

The queen's face gradually became entangled, helpless and anxious: "Ling Kun is the younger brother of this palace. ”
