One hundred and fifty-five
Five days flew by. The six counties of Xuzhou have completely changed. Many people in Xuzhou counties were slaughtered, and Xuzhou changed from a paradise on earth to an eighteen-layer hell for a while. The people were killed and injured countless times, blood flowed into rivers, white bones piled up, and the fire burned the houses of the people of Xuzhou.
And the most tragic has to be the officials of the counties and counties in Xuzhou. They are officials in Yongchun country, so no matter whether they are good or corrupt, as long as they are officials, they will be slaughtered by the whole family, and no one is allowed to live.
When many officials were dying, they wrote blood letters, let their most trusted people ride horses, and rushed to the imperial capital to deliver letters. I hope that Emperor Jing can send people to exterminate the thieves and regain Xuzhou.
But when the water is full, it overflows, and the moon is full and it loses, and the extremes of things must be reversed! As early as a long time, Zhang Nan predicted the end of the Yongchang Dynasty. The demise of the Yongchang Dynasty this time is determined by heaven, and mortals are powerless to change it, let alone fight against the sky.
Early in the morning, on the main hall of the Yongchang Dynasty, Chun Yuzheng sat on the throne. Xi Jili stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, I heard that you ordered the concubine Niangniang to be placed under house arrest in the harem, and the old minister dared to ask, what mistake did Niangniang make?" Why punish her so harshly? ”
Xi Jili deliberately rushed back from Qiongzhou this time, just to seek justice for his daughter Xi Minhui.
As soon as Xi Jili's words were finished, a little guy was wearing armor, only to see him covered in blood, and he ran to the front of the hall quickly in embarrassment, he saw the emperor, knelt on his knees, saluted and kowtowed, and said with tears in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, eight hundred miles are urgent, Xuzhou has been captured by thieves, and the people and soldiers in the city have been slaughtered, and about a million people have died." ”
As soon as these words came out, Chun Yuyi was shocked, "What? So what is the situation in Xuzhou now? ”
Xiao Bing cried: "It has fallen, Xuzhou ......" Xiao Bing gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "It's gone!" ”
These words shocked the officials of the imperial court, and as soon as these words came out, everyone was talking about them below.
Chun Yuzheng's heart was even more shocked by these words, and his heart trembled heavily. He suddenly remembered that Chun Yu Hanwei told him that Chun Yu Hanwei's favorite person was named Hua Xuan!
At that time, Chun Yuzheng was only suspicious, but he didn't think much about it, but now it's okay, if he doesn't notice it for a while, he will make a big mistake, and it will be too late to regret it!
Chun Yuzheng couldn't show a flustered appearance now, he said calmly: "Qiong Guogong listens to the order!" ”
Xi Jili saluted, "The old minister is here!" ”
"I order you to lead the troops and set off to Xuzhou immediately to recover the lost territory."
Xi Jili saluted, "The minister obeys the order!" ”
Chun Yuhao saluted, "Father, if only Xi Guogong goes to recover Xuzhou, I'm afraid it won't be enough." Father, the sixth brother is aggressive by nature and brave and abnormal, but he has never had the opportunity to show it, and he can share his father's worries! Father, this time the son suggested that the sixth brother go and give him a chance to hone and forge ahead. ”
Chun Yuzheng didn't say a word, and he was approved.
Chun Yuyi saluted, "Father, when it comes to martial arts in the court, one is Xi Guogong, whose martial arts have reached the top, and there is a top master, who is the old general Chu Ke." If General Chu can go with Xi Guogong to recover Xuzhou this time, he will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort. ”
Chun Yuyi thought that it would take a battle of words, but he didn't expect Chu Ke to be a loyal and patriotic person. He stepped forward and saluted, "As a general, the old minister only needs to share the burden for the emperor." The emperor can rest assured that this time the old minister will definitely recover Xuzhou and not disappoint the emperor. ”
Chun Yuzheng nodded, and said with a relieved face: "General Chu is loyal and patriotic, I feel very pleased!" General Chu, Xi Guogong, if you two can recover Xuzhou this time, after you come back, I will give you two to celebrate. ”
Chu Ke and Xi Jili knelt down, bowed, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured that the emperor will live up to the emperor's trust!" ”
After the next dynasty, Chun Yuhao and Chun Yulong walked together.
Chun Yulong was puzzled: "Fourth brother, why do you want me to go to Xuzhou?" ”
Chun Yuhao explained: "Sixth brother, this is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Sixth brother, Xi Guogong and General Chu are the most powerful people in the court, if you follow them, you will definitely be able to recover Xuzhou and return with a great victory. When you come back, your father will appreciate you even more. ”
Chun Yulong is a martial artist, speaks without thinking, and does things without brains. is straightforward and believes in the words of Chun Yuhao and Xi Cui. He had no strength, but no brain.
Chun Yulong smiled: "I see! Fourth brother, you put it down, I will definitely win this time when I capture Xuzhou. ”
Chun Yuhao nodded, "Well, the fourth brother believes in you." ”
The two returned to Changle Palace unconsciously. In Changle Palace, Xi Cui sat in the lobby. Seeing Chun Yuhao and Chun Yulong, he smiled and said, "Long'er, you're also hungry when you come back from Chaoshang, right?" The concubine has prepared pastries for you in the hall, go down and wash up and eat some pastries! ”
Chun Yulong was puzzled, "Won't the fourth brother go with me?" ”
Chun Yuhao smiled: "Fourth brother is not hungry, you can go!" ”
Chun Yulong saluted Xi Cui, "Erchen retires!" ”
After Chun Yulong left, Chun Yuhao asked respectfully: "The mother concubine deliberately took the sixth brother away, is there anything she wants to say to her son?" ”
Xi Cui said: "Why did you instigate Long'er to go to Xuzhou? ”
Chun Yuhao said with a smile: "Mother, it has always been the dream of the sixth brother to make military achievements, if the sixth brother is allowed to stay in the imperial capital, he will have no use." This time he went to Xuzhou, which happened to be a good opportunity to make a name for himself! ”
"Don't give me a hippie smile, Hao'er, you can fool others can't fool me? You tell me the truth, why the hell? ”
Chun Yuhao sighed lightly, "Mother, no poison and no husband, you told me that there is no family affection in the heavenly family." ”
As soon as these words fell, Xi Cui also understood what Chun Yuhao meant. The heavenly family has no family affection, so he has to kill them all, even his own brother. Xi Cui shook her head, feeling that Chun Yuhao in front of her was terrible and strange to her. She was very sad, and her heart was half cold. She burst into tears and said, "Hao'er, he is your own brother!" Even if you sit on the throne, he will not hinder you, why do you push him to Xuzhou to die? ”
Chun Yuhao explained calmly: "Mother concubine, there are Xi Guogong and General Chu, he will not die." ”
"But what if? In case of an accident......"
Chun Yuhao interrupted: "Mother, in your eyes, will you always only have the sixth brother?" ”
"What are you talking about? You and him are equally important in my eyes, and the Mother does not want to lose either of you, but she also does not want to see your brothers kill each other. ”
Chun Yuhao nodded, "That's it!" Since he and I are both important in the hearts of the mother, it is enough for the mother to have me, he is a superfluous one, whether there is or not, it is the same! ”
As soon as the words fell, I only heard a "pop", and Xi Cui slapped Chun Yuhao in the face. Chun Yuhao's face suddenly turned red, but Chun Yuhao didn't care at all. He said calmly, "Has the concubine been deflated?" If the concubine is discouraged, the son will leave first. ”
After Chun Yuhao finished speaking, he turned around and left. Xi Cui looked at the back of Chun Yuhao's resolute departure, and said with a wry smile in his heart, Brother Wall will make you lose sooner or later, Hao'er, you are really stupid! However, you can do it to your own brother, and I guess one day, if necessary, you will sacrifice me!
Xi Cui sat on the high seat, crying and laughing, and her heart was infinitely sad.
Five days later, Chun Yu Hanwei arrived in Xuzhou all the way. Because he spent five days on the road, his wedding dress had already been changed and washed. She changed into plain clothes.
Along the way, she was neither accompanied by a servant nor protected by guards, she came to marry alone. But the moment she entered Xuzhou, what caught her eye was a shock.
What's wrong with Xuzhou? The people and the country were ruined, the refugees were displaced, the bones were piled up everywhere, the war was raging, the sky was swirling with black smoke, the ground was full of blood, and the corpses were everywhere. What's going on here?
Under the ruins on the side, a woman sat on the ground with an old woman in her arms.
Chun Yu Hanwei walked over and asked, "Old man, what's going on here?" ”
The old woman's face was covered with black dust, and the three of them were all dressed in rags, and the old woman sighed and said helplessly: "Girl, are you from out of town?" There's a war here, it's not a safe place, so you'd better get out of here! ”
"A war? Who started the war? ”
The old woman said with a look of resentment: "It's the hateful princess and relatives, the princess and relatives are a happy event, but it is because of her and relatives that soldiers from other countries will have the opportunity to attack Xuzhou." The old woman began to cry aloud, "Pity my son!!!! The old woman said, her whole body trembled, and she couldn't cry and said, "Poor my son, in order to protect the three of us, he died in the flames of war......" The old woman cried with grief and indignation, "Son!!!! You're dead, how can you let my wife live!! Yes!!! ”
The woman on the side supported the old woman and comforted: "Mother, don't cry and break your body!" ”
Chun Yu Hanwei stood up and left.
She walked and watched on the road, and everywhere she passed, there were fireworks everywhere, and the people were struggling to make a living, and there were survivors along the way. Some of them were seriously injured and lying on the side of the road, crying out weakly, and some were so hungry that they could not stand still.
The corpses are bloody and bloody. This is the cruelty of war, and it is also the sorrow of the people.
Along the way, Chun Yu Hanwei was full of emotion, she had compassion for the people, but she couldn't help them, she could only stay back and inform Chun Yuzheng of the matter in Xuzhou.
Halfway down the road, I saw an old woman in a cloth garment, walking forward with a cane. When the old woman saw Chun Yu Hanwei, she stepped forward and begged, "Kind girl, I haven't eaten for three days and three nights, can you give me something to eat?" ”
Chun Yu Hanwei enthusiastically took off her burden, and just when she was about to open the burden, a stout man immediately ran over, knocked Chun Yu Hanwei to the ground, and snatched her burden with his hand. Chun Yu Hanwei stood up and chased desperately, she panted while chasing: "Hey, don't run away, you can take the silver and food, but can you return the clothes to me?" ”
This man was also hungry and crazy, but he was not a bad person in nature, he stopped, and Chun Yu Hanwei also stopped. The man opened the package, there was a bright red wedding dress inside, and a phoenix crown and a veil, the man looked at these things with exquisite styles and delicate workmanship, and they didn't look like folk things.
The man suddenly thought that the princess was going to Xuzhou to get married, could it be that she was a princess?
The man asked, "Who are you?" ”
Chun Yu Hanwei explained: "I am a princess who came to get married, I already understand the situation in Xuzhou, you can rest assured, after I return to the palace, I will report the situation in Xuzhou to the emperor." ”
As soon as Chun Yu Hanwei finished speaking, the man said viciously: "It turns out that you are the princess who came to get married." Do you know that because of your marriage, all our people in Xuzhou have been miserable. Millions of corpses were dug and burned, and they were burned for days and nights before they were burned. ”
The man turned around and shouted, "Come out, folks!" I've caught our murderer. ”
As soon as these words fell, a group of people gathered around from all directions. Almost a few hundred people. Most of these people are women, children and children.
The man said angrily: "She is the princess, if she hadn't come to Xuzhou to make peace, Xuzhou would not have had this catastrophe." Folks, we tied up this scourge and put her to death, and have comforted the dead souls in Xuzhou. ”
Chun Yu Hanwei shook her head again and again and retreated, in front of these hundreds of people, Chun Yu Hanwei was a weak woman who was powerless. After all, they are outnumbered, and if Chun Yu Hanwei collides with them, it is nothing more than an egg touching a stone, and she can't do anything about herself.
Chun Yu Hanwei was scared in her heart, but she still tried her best to explain: "Xuzhou was attacked, and I am also very sympathetic. When I return to the palace, I will explain everything to the emperor and ask the emperor to send someone to rescue you. ”
The man was indignant and said, "We not only want to be rescued, but we also want justice." ”
After the man finished speaking, he saw that the people behind him echoed, "Yes, we want justice!" ”
The man continued: "Kill him, the people are angry! ”
The people behind coaxed and said in unison: "Kill him, the people are angry!" Kill him, the civilians are ...... outraged"
Chun Yu Hanwei didn't want to go with them in a thousand ways, but in the end, she was dragged by them and forcibly taken away.
They took Chun Yu Hanwei to an execution ground, tied her tightly to the pillar of the execution ground, and everyone shouted: "Burn him to quench the wrath of the people, to comfort the souls of the dead!" ”
The voice was uneven, and every sentence was transmitted to Chun Yu Hanwei's ears with anger. That voice was unbearable to Chun Yu Hanwei.
Chun Yu Hanwei looked at the ugly faces in front of her, and insulted her viciously. She couldn't help but wonder, what had I done wrong? Why do this to me?
I came to Xuzhou today to marry my beloved, but why, on the day of the wedding, I became a sinner for the ages who was scolded by the people?
Before Chun Yu Hanwei could react, she saw a raging fire burning in front of her. The fire hadn't burned yet, but Chun Yu Hanwei was so anxious that she burst into tears.
Am I going to die here today? Brother Xuan, where are you? Brother Xuan!
The black smoke sky, choking Chun Yu Hanwei kept coughing. Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, she saw that the powerful and invisible palm directly split the fire in front of her in half, and the fire gradually extinguished. Chun Yu Hanwei only felt that there was someone behind her who untied the rope for her while leaning over her ear and said, "Didn't you learn martial arts?" Why can't you protect yourself? ”
After speaking, the rope had been untied and fell to the ground.
This voice is very familiar to Yu Hanwei, this is Hua Xuan's voice. She choked up and said, "Brother Xuan! ”
Hua Xuan smiled softly: "Wei'er doesn't cry, I'm here!" ”
As he spoke, he picked Chun Yu Hanwei up horizontally, flew out of the execution ground, and stood on the ground. When the people present saw Hua Xuan, they were like seeing a ghost, and their whole bodies trembled with fright. Chun Yu Hanwei got down from Hua Xuan, she took two steps forward, and the people took two steps back.
Chun Yu Hanwei felt that something was wrong, so she was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Why are you so scared? ”
The man boldly explained: "It's him, the person behind you, it's he who killed the people of Xuzhou and slaughtered the city of Xuzhou." Princess, you are the princess of Yongchun Kingdom, we are your people, why do you collude with other countries to slaughter us? Why are you treasonous? ”
Chun Yu Hanwei's heart trembled, and she was shocked: "What? Yes, it's Brother Xuan...... Slaughtered Xuzhou? "It's incredible.
Chun Yu Hanwei turned around and looked at Hua Xuan, and everyone dispersed out of fear.
Hua Xuan and Chun Yu Hanwei looked at each other, and their eyes were full of self-blame.
Han Wei, I'm sorry! In the face of the righteousness of the family and the country, I can only bear you!
Chun Yu Hanwei's tears fell suddenly, "Brother Xuan, is he real?" Were they really you slaughtered? ”
Hua Xuan closed his eyes and said helplessly: "Yes!" ”
"Why?"
"Because, I am the prince of the Yuxuan Kingdom of the previous dynasty - Hua Xuan!"
A simple explanation made Chun Yu Hanwei frightened and didn't stand firmly, her legs were weak, and she sat on the ground.
What? How could he, how could he be the prince of Yuxuan Kingdom?
No wonder he slaughtered my city, because of revenge!
Hua Xuan didn't help her up, but said softly, "Han Wei, there is too much separation between you and me." We are destined to be inseparable. Han Wei, go back, return to Yongchun Kingdom, and continue to be your princess. ”
Chun Yu Hanwei asked calmly, "What about you, where are you going?" ”
"Do what I have to do!"
"What you should do is to continue to restore the country, continue to slaughter the city, and continue to fight against the Yongchun Kingdom?"
Hua Xuan was silent and didn't say a word. Chun Yu Hanwei cried and dissuaded: "Brother Xuan, when is the time for retribution?" Brother Xuan, don't be wrong again and again, okay? My father, the emperor, will soon find out about Xuzhou, and he will send troops to recover Xuzhou...... If he knew that it was you who slaughtered the people of Xuzhou, he would definitely not let you go, he would kill you...... Brother Xuan, stop. Chun Yu Hanwei cried silently, "Brother Xuan, there is too much separation between us, I can choose not to marry you, but, I beg you to stop, Brother Xuan, I really love you, I don't want to see you die......"
After Hua Xuan heard what he said, he turned around and decided to leave.
"Brother Xuan...... Brother Xuan......" Chun Yu Hanwei shouted hoarsely behind him. But Hua Xuan still chose to ignore it.
He is the prince of the former dynasty, and he is burdened with the burden of restoring the country. He can't ruin everything he has carefully planned because of his children's personal feelings, otherwise, all the efforts made by all of them will be in vain.
Since he wants to take the overall situation into account, he must be determined to be ruthless and desireless, so as not to be disturbed by everything.
Although Hua Xuan pretended to be indifferent on the surface, he didn't know how many times he was sad in his heart. The tears hidden in the eyes finally flowed down without anger.
After Hua Xuan left, Chun Yu Hanwei stood up and turned away in despair. Silence is greater than death! Every step she takes now, she regrets and is sad.
Today is her wedding day, but it has become her day of great sorrow. How ridiculous is it to ask the blood of millions of people to give her a dowry once she gets married? How sad is it?
There was a light rain in the sky, this is the first autumn rain after the beginning of autumn this year, their landing extinguished the fireworks that were being lit in various parts of Xuzhou, and also drenched Chun Yu Hanwei's heart.
