One hundred and sixty-three, Assassin Row

Jian Huaizhen looked at the long sky, the sky was clear and reflected the countless dead and wounded soldiers on the ground, the so-called one general made ten thousand bones withered, and all the military achievements in ancient times were piled up with the accumulated white bones of the soldiers.

Jian Huaizhen said: "Indeed, you just think I am going back on my word, so what? I am not a good person in the first place, it depends on who you are, you are also the king of Warat, the ruler of Warat, and the enemy of our Ming. If I tolerated you today, you would definitely find a way to make a comeback one day. At that time, it is not only one or two people who will be damaged, if your plan succeeds, then all the people of the Ming Dynasty will be ravaged by you. If I had killed you today, there would have been no more such consequences. ”

After speaking, Jian Huaizhen raised the sword in his hand and threw it forward gently, and the sword had already fallen firmly on Ye Xian's chest.

He just groaned at first, and then lay there, completely dead, he opened his two round eyes, looking at Jian Huaizhen, as if he was dead.

Jian Huaizhen glanced at him disdainfully, then turned away.

After this war, most of the 300,000 troops of Warat were lost, and less than a tenth remained, and the Warat army was completely defeated in this war.

Nangong Jiuzhong did not have the heart to lead troops to attack the city of Wara, he got the news that Jian Huaizhen and Jiang Shaoheng had joined forces to defeat the 50,000 troops in the city and the 130,000 troops led by Ye Xian, so he returned to the base camp with the army from the north and joined Jian Huaizhen.

After the war was over, the grain and grass escorted by Tang Jingshan and Li Xian had also arrived.

When Li Xian saw Jian Huaizhen, he took two steps forward, knelt down and said, "Eldest Princess, Li Xian has already received the news on the way, and I heard that you have won a great victory. Warat was hit hard by this, and presumably he did not dare to invade the south within a few decades, and the people of my Ming Dynasty had a good life. ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled and said, "If the people of the Ming Dynasty want to have a good life, they have to eradicate one person. ”

Li Xian's expression suddenly became cold, and he said solemnly: "Eldest Princess, what are you talking about Cao Jixiang?" ”

Jian Huaizhen's face turned pale and nodded.

Li Xian sighed and said, "It's not that I haven't thought of a way to deal with Cao Jixiang, but Cao Jixiang has become very cautious since Shi Heng died, and he doesn't show a little bit of sloppiness in everything. It's not easy to catch him, so let's take a long-term view. ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled, took out the contract that was given to her first from his sleeve, and handed it to Li Xian.

Li Xian opened the contract and glanced at it, and immediately understood what was going on, he smiled and said, "Okay, good, I didn't expect that we didn't try to find a way to catch Cao Jixiang's handle, but Cao Jixiang bumped into it first." With this contract, I am not afraid that the emperor will not be guilty of Cao Jixiang. I didn't expect Cao Jixiang to be so despicable, just corrupt and pervert the law, even if he connived at his subordinates, he actually betrayed the country, which is a big crime of the nine clans. ”

Jian Huaizhen looked at Li Xian and said earnestly: "Master Li, all the way. has gone through so many ups and downs, and it is thanks to you that you have disposed of Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng, as well as Cao Jixiang now. Although the three of them were only traitors, their strength was enough to match the 300,000 troops of Warat. ”

When Li Xian heard Jian Huaizhen say this, his expression immediately became solemn, and he saluted and said: "Everything is the eldest princess, you have been well instructed, if it weren't for the eldest princess, you are worried about the country and the people, and you have entrusted Li Xian with such an important task, Li Xian would not have thought of a way to deal with Cao Jixiang, Shi Heng and Xu Youzhen." The three of them are powerful in the government and the opposition, how can Li Xian deal with them with his small strength? Everything is the credit of the eldest princess. ”

Jian Huaizhen said with a smile: "Okay, okay, we don't have to let it go, whose credit is it." It doesn't matter whose credit it is, the most important thing now is to avenge Yu Qian, and to make my Ming Dynasty politically clear, which is undoubtedly a good thing. ”

The news that the 10,000 Ming army repelled the 300,000 army of Wara with fewer victories soon spread throughout the people, and everyone raised their hands to celebrate when they heard the news, and in their hearts Jian Huaizhen became a fairy-like figure. And when the courtiers in the government and the opposition heard the news, they also respected Jian Huaizhen.

The news also quickly spread to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Qizhen laughed after getting the news, he smiled and said: "For so many years, our Daming and Wara have fought several battles, and they have also won several small victories, but none of them are as powerful as this time. The eldest princess is just a woman, and she is old, and she can still achieve such an achievement in leading troops to fight, which is really admirable. ”

Queen Qian was accompanying Zhu Qizhen at this moment, and when she heard Zhu Qizhen say this, she smiled and said: "When the eldest princess killed Shi Heng in anger, the emperor was still worried about this matter. It can be seen that everything the eldest princess does is planned, not without purpose. After this incident, the relationship between the emperor and the eldest princess was even better. ”

Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "The queen is right, it was fortunate that the queen came to persuade me and the eldest princess, otherwise maybe with my temper, I would have turned against the eldest princess." ”

Empress Qian said with a smile beside her: "Now the eldest princess will return to the court soon." ”

"How about I personally go outside the city to greet the eldest princess?"

Queen Qian smiled back as she spoke, although she only had one eye left, but at the moment she looked back, in the shade of the bright trees, her eyes were bright, like beautiful flowers, which made Zhu Qizhen happy.

Zhu Qizhen has never disliked his wife, no matter what Queen Qian has become, she is still so beautiful in his heart. Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "Since this is the case, everything will be done according to what the queen says." ”

After the victory, Jian Huaizhen forced Warat to sign an edict of peace.

In fact, in the past during the period of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, Wara has been subjugated to the Ming Dynasty, when the three leaders of Mahamu, Taiping and Bald Polo have asked the Ming Dynasty for the title, and the Ming Dynasty named them three princes such as the King of Zhongshun, and that kind of prosperity was seen by Jian Huaizhen with his own eyes.

Now that she saw Warat once again surrendering to the feet of the Ming Dynasty, she was overjoyed. She thought of the past, as if she had been in the past, and there was indescribable joy and sorrow in her heart.

In the passage of time, she always thinks of the old days, the people of the past. After so long of deep thoughts, she is just looking forward to it deeply, hoping that the future days can get better and better, and everyone around her can accompany her completely in the future, until she is old. As for the rest, she didn't think about it that much.

Soon, Jian Huaizhen led the soldiers back to the court.

She had brought 100,000 troops with her when she came, and now she has lost only a few thousand troops when she returns. And among them, the disciples of Candle Shadow Shake Red and Confession Sect were basically unharmed.

Jian Huaizhen ordered people to write down the names of the soldiers who died in battle, and when they returned to the imperial court, they would be compassionate to them. Their parents, wives, and children are still looking forward to them at home, but it is a pity that the bones by the river are pitiful, and they are still in the dream of spring.

Jian Huaizhen led the army back in a mighty way, and soon returned to Shuntianfu.

Zhu Qizhen got the news that Jian Huaizhen arrived outside the Shuntian Mansion at noon early in the morning, and he finished freshening up early and led the courtiers to welcome the courtiers out of the Shuntian Mansion for eighteen miles, in order to commend Jian Huaizhen's great achievements.

Jian Huaizhen's return to the dynasty went well, and soon the team arrived outside the Shuntian Mansion, and she saw Zhu Qizhen bringing people to greet her from a distance.

Now Zhu Qizhen is only in his twenties, handsome, and exudes the aura of a wise emperor all over his body.

Seeing this, Jian Huaizhen was very relieved.

Zhu Qizhen saw the army returning to the dynasty from afar, and saw Jian Huaizhen, Jiang Shaoheng, Fang Xiao, Tang Jingran, Nangong Jiuzhong and others riding high-headed horses, riding horses, and hurriedly greeted them.

Jian Huaizhen dismounted to meet the emperor.

Zhu Qizhen was filled with joy and sorrow in his heart, holding Jian Huaizhen's hand and choking and said: "The eldest princess, you went north to fight this time, it was really hard, and your hard work is high, and I remember it all." ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly, and said to Zhu Qizhen calmly: "Your Majesty, why do you have to say so much, it's all your own family. I am also a member of the Zhu family's royal family, and it is also my responsibility to be able to do my best for the royal family. ”

While the grandfather and grandson were talking, suddenly a person dressed as a eunuch walked forward, he walked to Zhu Qizhen's side and knelt down, his voice was very deep, and said, "Your Majesty, the slave has something to play." ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he involuntarily looked down at the little eunuch, he felt that this voice was very unfamiliar, as if he had never heard it before. And at this time, he took the courtiers to the outside of the Shuntian Mansion to welcome Jian Huaizhen's class back to the court, how could a little eunuch suddenly run out?

Before he could react, the little eunuch suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve and slashed it at Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen was slightly stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses at all.

Jian Huaizhen caught a glimpse of the dagger in the little eunuch's hand at a glance, and she didn't want to raise her hand and slap it on the little eunuch's wrist.

Jian Huaizhen's martial arts are superb, how can a small eunuch deal with it. The little eunuch said "Ahhhhhh

"Come on, arrest him," Jian Huaizhen ordered, and immediately a guard stepped forward to tie up the little eunuch.

The little eunuch looked really unfamiliar, Zhu Qizhen had never seen it, and Jian Huaizhen had never seen it.

Zhu Qizhen was stunned and asked the little eunuch: "You recruited from the truth, who ordered you to assassinate me?" ”

The little eunuch's face suddenly turned pale, he looked at Zhu Qizhen, and then at Jian Huaizhen, there seemed to be something unspeakable in his eyes, he shook his head and said: "Since my mission has failed, what else is there to say, I have no choice but to die." ”

After saying that, he bit his tongue and killed himself, and black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Jian Huaizhen stepped forward and probed the blood with his hand, glanced at it in front of him, turned to Zhu Qizhen and said: "This person has already taken poison, no matter whether he succeeds in assassinating the emperor or not, he can only choose to die." ”

Jian Huaizhen's words shocked Zhu Qizhen, and he said to Jian Huaizhen in a bit of a panic: "Princess, who wants to assassinate me?" Could it be that the Warats were unwilling to be defeated by us, so they sent people to assassinate them? ”

Jian Huaizhen couldn't help laughing when she heard Zhu Qizhen being so nervous, and she said, "Your Majesty, you're too worried. Now that Warat's detachment has bowed to the emperor, how could he send someone to assassinate the emperor? What's more, this person is the little eunuch in the palace at a glance, although he is unfamiliar and tight, but the tone and tone of his voice are lively and lively, and there is no way to fake it. Tokhtar is not far away in Wara, he is so powerful, how can he buy the little eunuch in the palace within a few days? ”

Zhu Qizhen palpitated, looked at the corpse of the little eunuch, and sighed: "Fortunately, the eldest princess helped me, otherwise I would have died at the hands of this little eunuch." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard Zhu Qizhen say this, she sighed and said, "Your Majesty, let's talk about everything when we go back to the palace." ”

So, Zhu Qizhen returned to the dynasty with Jian Huaizhen and others.

After returning to the imperial court, Jian Huaizhen returned to Wan'an Palace, Tang Jingran followed Jiang Shaoheng, Fang Yu and others back to Huaiming Garden, and Nangong Jiuzhong lived in the rudder of the confessional gate in the capital.

Ling Luo was overjoyed to see Jian Huaizhen coming back, she hurriedly greeted her, and said with a smile: "The eldest princess, you are finally back." The days when you go to the front to fight are scattered in your heart, lest one day you will not be able to come back. ”

After saying this, she suddenly realized that she had lost her words, and hurriedly slapped herself in the mouth, saying, "What am I talking about?" ”

Jian Huaizhen saw that she was happy and sad, and hurriedly took her hand and said: "Scattered, what are you thinking in your heart, can this palace not know your heart for this palace, this palace understands in my heart." ”

When Jian Huaizhen said this, he was a little embarrassed. The two of them sat there and talked for a while, and Queen Qian and the others came to ask to see them.

Jian Huaizhen had always had a good relationship with Queen Qian, so he talked to Queen Qian for a while, asked Queen Qian about the harem, and asked Queen Qian to go back on the excuse that she was tired.

Seeing that Jian Huaizhen's expression was very solemn, and she still hadn't come out of the atmosphere of the front line, she stepped forward and asked, "Eldest Princess, why are you still so worried now that the war is over?" We have won the battle, and you should be happy, and from then on the border troubles of Warat will no longer exist. ”

Jian Huaizhen saw that Ling Luo thought very simply, she had a cold on her face, and suddenly said to Ling Luo: "Zero Luo, things are not as simple as you think, now I am worried about the emperor's safety." Today, when the emperor led his ministers to the palace outside the Shuntian Mansion, a little eunuch ran out and wanted to assassinate the emperor, fortunately the palace knows martial arts, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen say this, she was suddenly frightened, she took a few steps back, opened her eyes and said: "The eldest princess, someone dares to assassinate the emperor in front of the courtiers, this matter is inevitably a little suspenseful. ”

Jian Huaizhen's face was solemn and said, "Isn't that the case, I think so too." To be able to send a little eunuch to assassinate the emperor, it must be someone who is familiar with the emperor's itinerary. After thinking about it, Bengong felt that this matter should be Cao Jixiang's doing. ”

Scattered but very disagreeing with Jian Huaizhen's opinion, she shook her head and said: "Now that Cao Jixiang is in power in the imperial court, it can be said that he is above ten thousand people under one person, and it is too late for him to hope that the emperor is safe, so how can he fight the emperor's idea." If the emperor has any strengths and weaknesses, his status as a favored minister will not be guaranteed. ”

Jian Huaizhen told Zero about the contract signed between Cao Jixiang and the Warat people.

Scattered opened his mouth wide, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect Cao Jixiang to be so powerful in the imperial court, and he was willing to be the inner director of Wara, it's really unimaginable." ”

Jian Huaizhen's voice was very calm, and he said: "Speaking of this matter, this palace is not without responsibility, this palace has punished Xu Youzhen and killed Shi Heng, and Cao Jixiang is also a person who participated in the 'change of seizing the door', this matter will inevitably cause a lot of ripples in his heart." Presumably, he was afraid that the next target of the palace would be him, so he deliberately made the internal response of Wara and betrayed the country. ”

There was indignation on her face, she nodded and said to Jian Huaizhen: "Imperial Princess, since this is the case, what are you going to do next?" Won't you tell the emperor about this? What if Cao Jixiang sent someone out to assassinate the emperor again? ”

Jian Huaizhen felt a little sour in her heart, she sighed and said: "Why doesn't this palace want to tell the emperor, it's just that there are so many ministers outside the Shuntian Mansion, and it's not easy to say about this palace." After returning to the palace, the palace saw that the emperor was frightened, and I was afraid that telling the matter would irritate him, so I was hesitant to tell the emperor about it. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen say this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The eldest princess, how can you be confused now, this harem is full of Cao Jixiang's subordinates and eunuchs, if you don't tell the emperor about this, I can't say what danger the emperor will have at that time." ”

Her voice trembled, her lips turned white, and she was obviously very worried about the emperor's safety.

When Jian Huaizhen heard Scatter say this, she couldn't help but laugh, she smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, Cao Jixiang sent a eunuch to assassinate the emperor, and it didn't take long for the matter to be separated, and the palace believes that he won't do it again today." ”

Scattered knew that Jian Huaizhen was like a god, and only then did he relax when he heard her say this.

After Jian Huaizhen talked to Zero, after thinking about it, he felt that it was better to tell the emperor about this matter. Since the emperor is a son of heaven, he should be responsible. What's more, telling the emperor that you can let him watch out for this moment will also be beneficial to him.
