Chapter 95: The Law of Peace and Perfection in the World
If there is affection, it is not like pity, and if there is no such feeling.
The magpie bridge has never thought about it, and the butterflies are sometimes gone.
On this day, he received news that Liu Jun, the emperor of the northern Han Dynasty, had died of illness and was succeeded by his adopted son Liu Jien. He sent Li Jixun to the north, but the Han soldiers were defeated and retreated, and seeing that the Song army was going to attack Taiyuan, Liu Jien hurriedly sent people to ask for help from Liao.
Who knew that a Hanchen named Guo Wuwei, because he had a holiday with Liu Jien, actually sent someone to kill Liu Jien and set up his younger brother Liu Jiyuan as the new king. After Zhao Kuangyin learned of this, he immediately sent envoys to surrender, and named Liu Jiyuan as the envoy of the Pinglu Festival, and Guo Wuwei as the envoy of the Xingzhou Festival. After receiving the edict, Guo Wuwei was willing to return to the Song Dynasty, but Liu Jiyuan was unwilling to surrender.
At this time, the Liao Army's Han rescue reinforcements had arrived. Song Shuai Li Jixun was worried that it would be very disadvantageous to fight alone, so he decided to withdraw his troops and return south. The Han and Liao armies took the opportunity to march all the way to Jinzhou and Jiangzhou, and looted before leaving.
This made Zhao Kuangyin extremely angry, and immediately ordered his younger brother Zhao Guangyi to stay in Bianjing to supervise the country, and personally commanded the northern expedition.
Who knew that the Han general Liu Jiye was good at fighting and defending, and the Song general Shi Hanqing was killed soon after. Han had the help of Liao, besieged for three months, but still failed to take it, Zhao Kuangyin had to listen to Zhao Pu's persuasion to prepare for a night's rest, and the division returned to the court early the next morning.
Since the Tang Dynasty had a prince, the emperor's love for Murong Ningyan has become more and more intense, and the two are extremely affectionate, like glue and knees. Two years later, Murong Ningyan gave birth to a lively and lovely youngest son, Zhong Xuan.
The more affectionate Murong Ningyan and His Majesty were, the more faintly worried they were in their hearts. I often hear the ministers talk about the Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin and the return of a certain country to the Song State, often in the dead of night, looking at the sleeping emperor beside him, who loves his emperor and two innocent, smart and clever sons, Murong Ningyan loves them in his heart, and when she thinks that after a few years in history, she will be destroyed by Zhao Kuangyin Tang, and the impulse to change history swells in her heart, and this thought flashes in her mind and can no longer linger.
In the next few days, Murong Ningyan was thinking about how to change history, often sitting in front of the window in a daze, so that the emperor found that Murong Ningyan was always absent-minded recently, so he asked her what was on her mind.
"Your Majesty, the concubine implores Your Majesty to suspend or reduce singing and dancing performances in the future, and have more time to review the recitals, Your Majesty promised the concubines that they must go to the court every day to deal with state affairs, okay?"
"Alas, Yan'er, how many times have I told you, you don't have to worry about government affairs, why do you always have to ask?" The emperor, who was still affectionate just now, frowned when he heard Murong Ningyan's words, looking extremely impatient.
The concubines knew that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, but Yan'er just reminded the emperor that now the border wars are continuous, the Song soldiers are strong and strong, and the Song Emperor is brave and good at fighting, and has returned many surrounding countries to the Song State. The concubine is really just worried that one day, Emperor Song will put his minions into my Tang Dynasty. ”
"Is it okay for the queen to grow other people's ambition like this and destroy her own prestige? It's unfounded! After the emperor finished speaking, he angrily brushed his sleeves away.
Murong Ningyan persuaded bitterly, not only did he not get approval, but the emperor instead ordered someone to build a Jingde monk temple in the garden, Murong Ningyan saw it in his eyes, he was anxious, according to this development, the tragedy is about to happen, it seems that without further ado, we have to speed up the action.
This night, the emperor did not return to Yaoguang Palace.
Early the next morning, Grandpa Zeng ran into the Qianqing Palace in a panic.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good!"
"Early in the morning, why are you so flustered, you are an old man in the palace, and you are still like a hairy boy?" The emperor was still angry with yesterday, Murong Ningyan repeatedly persuaded and reprimanded Grandpa Zeng who came to report.
"Your Majesty, 100,000 is in a hurry, the queen is gone." Although Grandpa Zeng was cautious, this matter was extraordinary, but he had to report it.
"What do you mean the queen is gone? Manager Zeng, don't panic, you don't know, I had a little unpleasant trouble with the queen last night, and I returned to the Qianqing Palace, she is making a little temperament, she is angry! I must have gotten up early in the morning to go for a walk in the Imperial Garden, and see what you are fuss about. ”
His Majesty glanced at Grandpa Zeng, and when he heard that Murong Ningyan was gone, he was actually a little happy, it seemed that Yan'er still cared about herself, and she couldn't help laughing.
"Your Majesty, it's not like this, you see, this is left by the queen mother." Grandpa Zeng carefully presented a letter to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please forgive the concubines for saying goodbye! Perhaps His Majesty has discovered that the concubines are often distracted these days, but in fact, the concubines have been planning a thing that must be done in their hearts, and it is difficult to sleep and eat all day long.
In the days when the concubines are away, I hope that Your Majesty will remember the two young children and show them more mercy. Find the Taifu Temple Qing Lord Chen to borrow a good horse, please don't condemn him, and the concubine will return to the palace immediately after finishing the matter.
The smoke is presented, please don't read it, Your Majesty! ”
"Hurry up and send the heroic and combative Murong Zifeng to chase after him!" After reading the letter, the emperor became anxious.
"Your Majesty, Commander Murong has gone home for vacation."
"Forget about this stubble, and order the imperial guard Wu Cheng to chase after him and come back! Go and ask the guards, when will the queen leave the palace and where will she go? The people sent had to follow and secretly protect the queen, and not show up for the queen to find out until they had to. ”
Grandpa Zeng sent an investigator to report that the queen's mother was dressed as a man, and she left the palace with His Majesty's jade pendant and rode all the way north. So the emperor ordered to immediately send more people to chase, and as soon as there was news, he quickly flew pigeons to pass the message.
It has been two days since the queen left the palace, and she still hasn't received any news from her. The emperor is like a lost soul, what is she going to do? Are you mad at me? In addition to self-blame or self-blame, regretting why he didn't coax Yan'er that night, pretending to listen to her opinion, and staying by her side would not have happened.
As a result, the emperor was unable to sleep and eat, and he was getting thinner and thinner, and the ministers were also very anxious, and Grandpa Zeng even asked the imperial dining room to make some delicious food, but the emperor had no appetite at all, so he only moved the chopsticks and put them down.
On this day, the emperor looked around in the Yaoguang Palace, and suddenly found that the hosta in the jewelry box was missing, and his heart couldn't help but sink, could it be that she hadn't forgotten him for so many years? Maybe I got the news that he was still alive and went to him?
Let's say that Murong Ningyan persuaded the emperor with good words that night, but it aroused the emperor's disgust, thinking that it was good for the emperor to be angry, so that he would have the opportunity to be alone, and he could take the opportunity to sneak out of the palace.
Fortunately, he secretly borrowed a horse from Lord Chen of the Taifu Temple in advance, saying that he might want to go out for an outing, and Lord Chen readily agreed, just use it at any time to lead it.
Murong Ningyan was dressed as a man, rode his horse all the way, and had already prepared to clear the customs papers, so the road was unimpeded, and he arrived at the Han realm five days later, found an inn to rest for a while, and then acted in the dead of night.
And Wu Cheng, the imperial guard sent by the emperor, chased all the way north, and found the traces of Murong Ningyan two days later, but the saint told him to only protect it from a distance and not be discovered, so he had to observe it secretly, and at the same time bring back the news of peace to the saint.
After receiving the letter, the emperor learned that Murong Ningyan ran so far away, so he wondered what she was doing, but fortunately there was someone to protect her, so he didn't have to worry about her safety, so he was finally a little relieved.
I stayed in the inn early in the morning, seeing that it was dark, and there was no movement, what is the queen going to do? It has been hard enough to travel all the way for several days, and she was about to collect the troops to rest, when she suddenly saw the door of the inn where Murong Ningyan lived quietly open, and saw that she was carrying a black package on her shoulder, and she got a set of soldier uniforms to wear on her body out of nowhere.
Wu Cheng and his entourage followed behind Murong Ningyan, only to see her riding a horse and driving another distance in the dark, and saw a camp with the flag of the Song State Army in front of them from a distance, only to see Murong Ningyan turn over and dismount, move quickly, and tie the horse to a big tree. After secretly observing for a long time, he saw that there was a camp tent that was larger than the others, and there were guards guarding the door, Murong Ningyan was sure that this was the person he was looking for, and then found a hidden place to hide.
Wu Cheng and his entourage, who followed behind, didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the queen's mother's gourd, and after seeing her run to the Song army camp to observe for a while, they hid in the grass and didn't move.
For this day, Murong Ningyan has been planning for a long time, and when he chatted with Murong Zifeng on weekdays, he learned from him that Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty was personally leading troops to the north recently. Seeing that the plan was going smoothly, she was extremely excited at this time, and kept asking herself, can she really change history?
The hour had passed, and there were no more people moving around the camp, and there was silence all around. I saw Murong Ningyan covering his mouth and nose with a black cloth, and slowly walked towards the barracks, with Wu Cheng and the others carefully following behind.
When he walked near the camp guarded by the guards, Murong Ningyan walked around the back of the camp tent lightly and sprinkled a handful of powder on the guards, only to see that the guards guarding the door suddenly became weak, and his body slowly slid down the tent, and he sat on the ground and fell asleep weakly. Wu Cheng, who was following behind, was glad that he didn't follow too closely, otherwise he would probably be the same as those guards.
I saw that Murong Ningyan's light body entered the camp tent in a flash, and Wu Cheng and the others were about to follow, when they saw two patrols coming from the side. So he hurriedly stepped forward quietly, and killed the two guards with daggers one by one. The body was then dragged into the bushes outside the camp.
After Murong Ningyan sneaked into the camp tent, by the bright moonlight, he saw that there was a carpet in the camp tent, and all kinds of furnishings indicated that the person who lived here was Emperor Song. I saw that the person on the bed was asleep, Murong Ningyan was about to go down with a knife, and he was curious about what the great man of history Zhao Kuangyin looked like, so he lowered his head and took a closer look. How can it be? How can it be? Am I dazzled?
Quickly wiped his eyes vigorously and took a closer look, isn't this the Xiao Yixuan of the year, the Xiao Gongzi he has been thinking about for several years? No, didn't the emperor say many years ago that Xiao Gongzi had been buried in the sinkhole?
Murong Ningyan hesitated, took another look, and saw that the handsome man's face under the moonlight, with angular facial features, eyebrows and eyes were so familiar, maybe he was dreaming a sweet dream, and there was a smile on his face, convinced that he was Xiao Gongzi, where could he still do it.
When Murong Ningyan saw Xiao Yixuan in Zhao Kuangyin's barracks, would she still kill him?
