Chapter Eighty-Five: The Treacherous Transformation of Eastern Xinjiang
After the news of the murder of the three princes Su Yi spread out, the people of the entire imperial capital were stirred up with endless gossip fire, and most of the streets and alleys talked about the behavior of the three princes killing their brothers and the great achievements of the emperor in quelling the rebellion of the eight kings.
Su Yi is also single, he doesn't go out of his palace behind closed doors, drinks and has fun all day long, and doesn't ask about foreign affairs at all.
Even some of his old generals and staff members who wanted to visit him were beaten by the servants he sent to beat him with sticks.
He did this, naturally wanting to convey a signal to Su Chen.
You see, the third brother is very obedient and well-behaved!
You have a lot of adults, don't kill the third brother, okay?
Sima Yi accidentally mentioned the three princes in a small meeting in the imperial study, and couldn't help but sigh: "The three princes are really wise and intelligent." ”
The Eight Kings are basically dead, and he can actually survive.
I have to say that the third prince is both lucky and exceptionally smart, he knows when to do the right thing.
Whether it is the Nine Sons seizing the heir, or the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, or the recent blame for the emperor, he can avoid killing every time.
Rao is well-informed ministers of the Military Aircraft Pavilion can't help but admire the luck of the three princes.
"Your Royal Highness, you do have some foresight and know what to do and what not to do. ”
Guan Yiwu also agreed with Sima Yi's opinion.
Su Chen said lightly: "You think too much, he is just afraid of death and out of the realm." ”
Sima Yi: "......"
Guan Yiwu: "......"
Afraid of death, can you be afraid of going out of the realm?
Everyone was impressed, the emperor really made witty words, and we were far from it.
......
Just after the rebellion of the Eight Kings was pacified, the disappearance spread to every corner of the Great Xia Dynasty, and no one in the ten major counties did not mention this matter, as if the prosperous era was coming.
And at this time, the eastern frontier that seems to have been "forgotten" by the emperor is staging a great sin that makes the heavens angry and resentful!
Eastern Xinjiang, General's Palace.
A heroic young man strode with his head held high, shuttling through the pavilion corridor, and the guards and servants along the pavilion stopped their work and knelt down to salute.
"Major General. ”
"Major General. ”
"Major General. ”
This person is Si Long's only son, Si Yu.
Since the Si family has been a great general for generations, no matter who it is, it is customary to call Si Yu a major general.
The title of Major General does not represent a position, but only an honorific title for Si Yu.
Si Yu led the army to withdraw from the battlefield more than a month ago and rushed all the way to Eastern Xinjiang, which shocked Si Long.
Si Long was angry more than once because of this time, and once beat and scolded Si Yu in public, but Si Yu did not admit his mistake, saying that he had obtained the emperor's holy decree, and that the emperor wanted him to withdraw his troops from the battlefield on all sides, and he was just acting according to the order.
Just when Si Long asked Si Yu to take out the holy decree to testify, the bad news came, Si Long's old injuries attacked, and he fell into a coma on the spot.
The entire eastern Xinjiang was in turmoil in an instant, and at this difficult moment, Si Yu had the responsibility to stand up and preside over the overall situation.
In order to prevent the Orc Empire from knowing the fact that Si Long, the pillar of Great Xia, had fallen, Si Yu blocked the news overnight and killed countless servants with iron and blood, and at the same time, he also sent his henchmen to find famous doctors to treat Si Long.
After more than a month, more than 100 famous doctors diagnosed Silong, and each of them sighed and returned with nothing to do.
In order to prevent the news from leaking, Si Yu sent people to guard these famous doctors and did not let them go.
Now, only some of Si Long's henchmen and Si Yu know about this matter, and the others don't know that Si Long is seriously ill, but they just know that the current border affairs in Eastern Xinjiang are basically handled by the major general.
Si Yu ignored the group of servants and guards, his face was full of anxiety, and he hurried all the way forward to the east wing of the general's mansion.
Si Yu pushed the door directly in.
In the outer hall of the east wing, there were many people standing, each of whom was an elite general and military adviser under Si Long's hands, and many of them were masters of the Nirvana Realm.
These are Si Long's team members, and they are also Si Yu's elders.
"The Major General is here. ”
The people in the outer hall stopped talking, turned their heads one after another, and saluted Si Yu.
"Uncles are well, I heard that a new famous doctor is coming, how is my father's injury?
Si Yu hurriedly returned the salute and asked expectantly.
"Alas. ”
Looking at Si Yu with a filial face, a middle-aged military general couldn't help but sigh.
He glanced at the others and shook his head silently at Si Yu.
An old military advisor said in a deep voice: "Major General, that doctor is helpless, and there is no medicine to treat. ”
And, he said......"
"What did he say?"
Si Yu hurriedly asked.
He said that the spiritual energy in the general's body was dry, the five organs were wounded, the spine was soft, and the meridians were broken...... It's been a long time, and you could die at any time. ”
In the outer hall, everyone's generals and military advisors were full of lamentation, and they were about to witness a generation of legends going to the strange road of life.
Yes, Si Long is a true legend for the Great Xia Dynasty.
Resisting the enemy chieftain outside, supporting the emperor inside, and making countless great achievements.
He is an important minister of the two dynasties in the true sense, and an indispensable minister of the Great Xia Dynasty!
"This ....."
Hearing this, Si Yu trembled, his face was pale, and he sat on the chair with his buttocks, extremely sad.
"My father fought for the empire all his life, spent most of his life on horseback, he was glorious, why did he end up like this!"
Si Yu wept bitterly, tears raining down: "He is still in the prime of life, and he has the strength of the Legendary Realm! How can this be! I am not convinced!"
"He's the pillar of Great Xia!
Si Yu's hoarse voice made people's hearts tremble, and the generals and divisions of the martial arts came from sorrow in their hearts.
"Major General, don't be sad. ”
"If the old general wakes up, he will not want to see you so sad. ”
Everyone spoke out to comfort Si Yu, and they were also very sad, but fortunately, the old general has descendants, Si Yu is still young, and he will definitely be able to take over the mantle of the old general.
For the Si family, it is not surprising that they died on the battlefield.
Countless generations of generals of the Si family were killed on the battlefield, and his son took over the post of general in grief and indignation, killed the enemy in anger, and then made war exploits!
"Major General, can the imperial capital have a reply?"
A military advisor pondered for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "The old general's injury is not optimistic, and the situation in Eastern Xinjiang is unstable. ”
"At this time, the emperor needs to give a holy decree, so that the young general can take over the post of general of the old general in time, so as to appease the army and continue to garrison the eastern frontier. ”
Although this sentence is very unsympathetic, it is also a fact that everyone must face.
Si Long was seriously ill, and he had already sent someone to send information to the imperial capital, and he had also sent more than one urgent military report.
"No reply yet. ”
Si Yu shook his head, he was still immersed in grief and couldn't extricate himself.
Everyone looked at each other, and there were some doubts in their hearts.
It's been more than a month, and the imperial capital hasn't replied yet? Doesn't the emperor care about Si Long's life and death?
Even if the emperor doesn't have Si Long in his eyes, then he has to take into account the defense line of Eastern Xinjiang, right?
This is the first line of defense against the Orc Empire, and it is also the most important frontier line of defense.
If there is danger in the eastern frontier, the army of the Orc Empire can enter the hinterland of the Great Xia Dynasty in an instant, and then the entire Great Xia Dynasty will fall into the frantic offensive of the Orc Empire.
"I think it should be a matter of the Eight Kings Rebellion, which delayed the time for the emperor to make an order. ”
Someone suddenly said: "This morning, didn't the news come from China that the Rebellion of the Eight Kings had been quelled by the emperor, and the emperor's decree should be about to arrive." ”
"I hope so. ”
"The stakes in Dongjiang are very high, and there must be no mistakes. ”
The military commanders and generals sighed and were worried.
"Uncles, all of you stand down. ”
Si Yu came from his heart, wiped his tears, and said in a hoarse sad voice: "I...... I want to be alone with my father for a while. ”
"This is natural, the young general should not be too sad, Dongjiang still needs you. ”
"This is human nature, and I hope that the young general will take care more. ”
Everyone glanced at each other, sighed, and left the east wing in silence.
After half a ring, after making sure that no one would come in again, Si Yu got up and walked towards the inner hall.
A thin, rickety man with gray hair, a wrinkled face and a thin figure lay on the bed.
He is Si Long.
At this time, Si Long's eyes were closed, and his breathing was weak, as if he would die in the next second.
Where is this the general who is only over forty years old, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a commanding general!
At this moment, Si Long looks no different from the old man who is about to pass away in the age of the sixtieth year.
"Father's ......"
Si Yu walked lightly to the side of the bed and looked down at his father.
There were tears on his face, but a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered softly, "Son, I'm here to give you a ride......"
