General Li is dead!

Because the new emperor ascended the throne for only one day, the daughters of the Li family did not dare to make a big deal, so they only sent people to the palace.

There was a gloomy mist in the Li Mansion, the only man in the family died suddenly, leaving only orphans and widows in a courtyard, and General Li's only grandson also knelt in the courtyard, sobbing and his little face was red, King Ning walked straight into the house, and did not even speak to Mrs. Li, Xiao Luzi hurriedly stepped forward to comfort.

King Ning walked into the house, General Li was already lying in the coffin, although there was a dead person in the family, but when the new emperor ascended the throne, the family did not dare to decorate, but the front hall where the coffin was parked was slightly furnished. King Ning walked to the side of the coffin, the old General Li's face was pale, but King Ning still didn't believe it, stretched out his hand, and now he probed the tip of his nose, saw that he was not breathing, and then took his hand and put it on his pulse, and the old General Li even stopped his pulse. Only then did King Ning relax and walk out of the house, and Old Madam Li hurriedly greeted him. Weeping tears: "The courtiers knocked on the emperor." ”

Although King Ning was happy when he heard this, he still said on his face: "Old woman, don't be like this, this king has not yet ascended the throne, and he can't afford this emperor." ”

Mrs. Li was formidal, wiped her tears, and said softly: "When the lord was dying, he instructed his courtiers that when the new emperor ascended the throne, after he went, he put him in the coffin and sent him to the ancestral tomb of the Li family outside the city to be buried. ”

After listening to this, King Ning thought that this old General Li must be the same as other important ministers, just want to protect the ancestral foundation of the Sima family, now that everyone is gone, the posture of loyalty to the monarch and the lord in the past is just the clouds of the past, and he will ascend the throne tomorrow, he will definitely make a sympathetic appearance of a courtier, and hurriedly said: "Old General Li once opened up the territory with his father, and he is an important minister of the country. ”

Mrs. Li hurriedly knelt down and choked up: "I have such a bright monarch and virtuous lord, which is really a blessing for the people, and the courtiers congratulate Your Majesty on my lord's ascension to the throne tomorrow, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

King Ning couldn't help but help the old lady up with a smile on his face, "In this way, this king will send someone to escort the old general's coffin to the outside of the city." ”

"The courtiers thanked Your Majesty." Seeing that the old lady had no objections, King Ning was even more stable in his heart, thinking that tomorrow he would ascend the throne, and the Li family would not make a mistake, so he walked back to the palace with peace of mind.

The old lady sighed, and the daughter-in-law of the Li family hurriedly walked over and whispered, "Mother, what if they let their people send it?" ”

The old lady grinned, "If you don't let him give him a ride, how can he ascend the throne with peace of mind?" ”

General Li's coffin was sent out of the city overnight. Jiang Lin heard in the mansion that the old general Li died before the new emperor succeeded to the throne, his heart was already extremely happy, he walked into the bedroom, saw Mrs. Jiang sitting on the bed in a daze, laughed a few times, walked to Mrs. Jiang and sat down, and said mysteriously: "Do you know that Old General Li is dead?" ”

Mrs. Jiang was stunned, "When?" ”

Jiang Lin didn't take off his clothes, and lay directly on the bed, "At noon, the Li family's family came over, just because the new emperor ascended the throne tomorrow, he was mourned first." ”

Madame Jiang thought about it carefully, General Li was only sick for a few days, and he couldn't hold on? She thought of Huizong's return to Beijing, and thought of the new emperor ascending the throne tomorrow, if General Li faked his death with medicine, there would definitely be a big move in Beijing tomorrow. Fortunately, fortunately, she sent Jiang Kun out of the city yesterday......

“…… Tomorrow, I will escort King Ning to the throne with the army, as long as tomorrow passes, I will be the commander of the three armies of Yaoguo, see who dares to stand in the way of my Jiang family again! Jiang Lin was still talking excitedly, and suddenly remembered Jiang Kun, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Where is Kun'er?" ”

Mrs. Jiang was thinking about Jiang Kun, but now when she heard Jiang Lin ask, she settled down and said: "You also know Kun'er's temperament, he has seen the emperor's disappearance in the past few days, and King Ning has repeatedly come to our house to discuss with you, so he also knows that the emperor's disappearance must be inseparable from you." Now that King Ning has ascended the throne, I saw that he was annoyed with you, so I asked him to go to the north. ”

Jiang Lin snorted coldly, "Kun'er, this kid, is good anywhere, but he is too strict with the old rules. If our Jiang family didn't gamble on this, how could we get to this point? It is good for him to go out for a walk, and when he comes back, the overall situation has been decided, I became the commander of the three armies, and I gave him an official position in the military department. ”

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she only said, "Yes." ”

Jiang Lin then asked, "Is there any news from Peng'er?" ”

"If you want to come to the border to see the war tight, Peng'er has no time to reply."

Jiang Lin nodded, "There is a silk exhibition, I am more relieved." Peng'er is not like Kun'er, he only has brute strength, he will only lead troops to fight in the future, Kun'er Wen Taowu is still my Jiang family's sister-in-law, with my current status, he will definitely go further. ”

Mrs. Jiang remembered that Huizong had returned to Beijing, and if there had been deployment, the Jiang family was afraid that it would be gone, and she was quite sarcastic in her heart. Jiang Lin saw that Mrs. Jiang was absent-minded, and only thought that she was thinking about Jiang Kun, so he took off his clothes, lay down directly on the bed, and said, "Sleep." Madame Jiang sighed, took off her clothes, and shrunk herself on the edge of the bed, as far away from Jiang Lin as possible.

The new emperor ascended the throne to worship the sky, the streets and alleys in Yaojing took out the red silk lanterns that were hung at the time of the New Year's Festival, and every household hung high at the door, and the capital in October was already a little cold. King Ning went out of the city with a large group of people early in the morning, he loved to walk in the streets when he went to Japan, and he was very handsome and very close to the people, and now he drove out of the city, naturally surrounded by a lot of people, he sat in the carriage where only the emperor could sit, watching the people cheering, and his heart was extremely happy.

Along the way, the people shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." He listened to the voice, gradually relaxed, leaned back in the car, and closed his eyes.

King Ning remembered that when he was young, although the first emperor had personally taught him for a long time, everyone only thought that he was the prince, but one day, Huizong led the troops to the side and was injured, and was carried back to the palace all the way, the first emperor took him to Huizong's bedroom in a hurry, Huizong lay on the bed with no blood, although the wounds on his body had been bandaged properly, but he could still see blood oozing out, which showed that the wound was so deep.

The first emperor just looked at it, and took the young man back to the imperial study, but as soon as he walked into the imperial study and sat down, the first emperor ordered someone to bring wine in, he closed the door of the imperial study, poured a few glasses of wine, looked at him, and said softly: "Do you blame your father?" ”

He was stunned at the time, although he and Huizong were the same mother, but Huizong had been raised in other palaces since he was a child, and the two were not close, and now the first emperor asked at first glance, but he didn't know how to answer.

"You have to remember, in the future, help your imperial brother, your father taught you the ability to assist the country, is to teach you to assist your imperial brother from the side, our Sima family was born outside the gate, your uncles were not on good terms with me, we fought for the grassland, grabbed good animals, but I don't want your imperial brother to be the same, you are the brothers of the same mother, in the future your imperial brother will ascend the throne and become the emperor, you must help him well, don't let him be a lonely person."

Thinking about this, King Ning chuckled lightly and whispered: "Father, now that the imperial brother is dead, the emperor you have carefully cultivated will eventually be defeated in my hands, you said that you won't let him be a loner, but you have been sitting on the throne for many years, how can you not know that this emperor is very small and can only accommodate one person." It's cold in the heights, but it's a different taste. ”

Huizong finally returned to Yaojing with Dark One and Yuening, and they followed the instructions of the letter to a mountain col on the outskirts of Beijing, where they could see the army camped in the distance. Everyone rode into the barracks, and soon a soldier led everyone to the big tent, and the soldier opened the curtain and saw General Li sitting in it!

When General Li saw Huizong and the others enter the big tent, he knelt down and said loudly: "The old minister greets the saint!" Then he coughed heavily.

Huizong hurriedly helped General Li up, "General, please get up quickly, now that the situation in Beijing is complicated, the old general should not be polite!" ”

General Li coughed a few more times, and only after calming down did he speak: "The last general is really old, but he just ate some herbs of fake death, and his body is a little unbearable, fortunately, I have General Xiao Chen here, he is brave and strategic, even if the old minister is dead, there is such a good general, and it is also reassuring." When he left Beijing that day, he left a note to the old minister, saying that he would find His Majesty, and he also left a prescription for fake death, but ...... Why didn't General Xiao Chen return to Beijing with His Majesty? ”

After hearing this, Huizong also knew that Chen Bozhan and King Ning and others were false and wronged that day, so they could lead the troops to the border city, "General Chen asked himself to stay at the border pass, saying that he wanted to knock down the lost city before returning to Beijing." ”

General Li nodded, and returned with a sense of comfort: "This Xiao Chen has long known that the late general has been deployed in Beijing, and if he finds the emperor, he can still fight the enemy, so it can be seen that he is not a person who is greedy for merit." ”

Huizong nodded when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, King Ning is preparing to sacrifice to the sky at noon, we should go!"

King Ning's Luan finally arrived at the place of worship, the civil and military officials had already changed into the official mansion used for the festive sacrifice to the sky, standing under the altar, he looked at the high altar, his palms were sweating, the small road beside him walked to him, straightened his wide clothes, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived." ”

I only heard the attendant of the Ministry of Rites standing on the altar and chanting the sacrifice aloud, just as he had done that day when his brother ascended the throne. Finally, he heard the voice of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites chanting the new emperor's sacrifice to the sky, and he took the first step, but he couldn't suppress the joy surging in his heart. The road to the altar was a bit long, but he wanted to be a little slower, a little slower, he remembered the appearance of him sitting on the dragon chair and looking at all beings that day, and also learned Huizong to tighten his face, not to let others see his thoughts, he walked forward step by step, these days, the minister of the Ministry of Rites had told him about the various matters of the new emperor's sacrifice to the sky, that is, even the number of steps on the altar also has rules. He thought that on this day in the future, this land would be his own, and every step he took would be his country, so he couldn't help but walk slower.

There was music playing around, the ministers knelt down one after another, no one dared to look directly at the holy face, he finally knew why so many emperors went to find the method of immortality, it turned out that he only ascended the throne and sacrificed to the sky, and he could not decide the life and death of others, so he could feel what kind of temptation that person was.

He was still thinking about it, when suddenly there was a horn, he stopped his steps, turned around, and the army behind him swarmed in, and Jiang Lin was inseparable, he couldn't help but take a step forward, and saw his imperial brother, dressed in armor, carrying a sword, walking towards him.
