Chapter 345: Chaos Rises
In fact, Li Shengxi came faster than everyone thought, and the reason why he released the news that it would arrive in two days was actually to give the Northern Qi court a chance to "mess up".
Very simply, the Northern Qi court is a chaotic enough environment, the enemy is current, there are people with lofty ideals, and naturally there will be people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
If Wangjing is really united, and General Guo is there, she may be helpless for a while, but once Wangjing is in chaos, then it will be self-defeating.
Once Wangjing is in chaos, then Wangjing will be handed over to Xu Huanzhi. The 20,000 people who galloped with her were waiting to deal with the old general Guo who was still in Yaozhou to quell the chaos.
On the silent wall of Wangjing City, the sound of soldiers pierced the silence of the night sky. A change is quietly taking place around King Zhao and the Empress.
Li Shengxun stood on the Longshang outside the city, looking at the chaos condescendingly, never expecting that her 20,000 people had just begun to garrison, and such a change would occur in Wangjing.
Li Sheng attacked the ground and looked far away, even if he was a few miles away, he could see the soldiers in Wangjing.
Wu Yang and Nian Xi stood on the left and right sides behind Li Shengxi.
"Your Highness, Yue Mingyun has lost contact." Wu Yang said in a deep voice.
Li Shengxi needed to know some things in Wangjing, so he handed over the news in advance and asked Wu Yang to wait here.
"Lost contact?" Li Shengxing frowned slightly, "What do you say?" โ
"I haven't been in touch for about half a month."
"Didn't you say that the queen ruled the palace very strictly?"
"Having said that, it is not the first day that Empress Jiang has been in power, and she has cut off contact for no reason, and there must be something going on. Either Empress Jiang has a clue, and Yue Mingyun is not good at contacting the outside world. Either Yue Mingyun has fallen into the hands of Queen Jiang at this moment, and her life and death are uncertain. Wu Yang's tone was heavy.
"Has anyone ever been to investigate?" Li Shengxi asked again.
"I went to the palace once on the 10th, and I was almost caught." Wu Yang opened his mouth and said, thinking back on that experience, it was really thrilling, and he almost didn't leave.
"After catching the secret agent, they will either be tortured and then hunted for it. Either kill them directly, and the corpses will demonstrate. There was no large-scale arrest, indicating that Mingyun did not reveal anything. She should still be alive. "If it falls into her hands, she won't let people die until she spits out anything," you said you almost got caught, what happened? โ
"We buried a few dark chess pieces in the palace, I borrowed the identity of one of them to enter the palace, and then went to the place where Yue Mingyun was often to inquire, but as soon as he passed, he was surrounded by a group of attendants, fortunately, they had no ability, and his subordinates quickly threw people away, and then left the palace." Wu Yang replied.
"Now the person who uses the inner servant is the queen, which means that the queen did it privately, and you can come out smoothly because she did not mobilize the forbidden army to block the palace gate, so arresting you should be done by the queen in private." Li Shengxun speculated step by step, "The queen kept it a secret, she should not be sure, and she was afraid of causing an accident - Wu Yang, the trip you made to the palace hurt her." โ
"Huh?" Wu Yang was taken aback and couldn't help frowning, "My subordinates know their mistakes, so what should I do next?" โ
"Wait." Li Shengxun spit out a word, now Wangjing is in chaos, she doesn't even understand which force is making trouble for the time being, she can't make a rash move.
Now there is action, in case it is the other party's plan to lure the enemy, then her 20,000 people will be all over. We can only wait until tonight passes, and then see how to close the city. No matter how chaotic Wangjing is, the city wall is also towering, and there are many soldiers with food. The army stationed in Beijing is scattered with 150,000, and she only has 20,000 in her hands, and there is no natural danger.
Wu Yang was silent for a while, and then spoke: "My subordinates will go with the scouts to find out the news. โ
Li Shengxing nodded and did not stop him.
Wangjing is indeed a mess. At the beginning of the matter, it was several clans who were provoked to assassinate King Zhao, but after King Zhao was reminded by Jiang Muyi, he was vigilant all night and never relaxed at all. He was born as a martial artist, and it was easy to deal with these clans.
Seeing the affairs of the clan, the faction that moved the capital simply did not do anything, although they did not hold nearly half of the forbidden army like King Zhao, but the number of guards attached to the middle school was also a lot, and besides, the Zhou family also controlled a guard.
The palace is also lit up all night.
Jiang Muyi did not rest, but sat on the edge of the bed of the Son of Heaven, she dismissed all the attendants around her, and she was in a panic.
Zhou Lingwang sat under the bed, neither of them spoke, waiting for the final success or failure.
It's just that there is no news about success or failure, but the Son of Heaven on the side has moved.
In the past nearly a year, Emperor Yuanjia has been a real lingering sickbed, Jiang Muyi will not give him a chance to wake up, and occasionally wakes up, but he just lets the palace people rest, and then he is in a coma after a bowl of medicine is fed.
Emperor Yuan Jia was already like a withered corpse at this moment, and only his last breath was left to hang.
Seeing Emperor Yuanjia beside her move, Jiang Muyi's eyes trembled slightly, she patted Zhou Lingwang lightly, and said in a low voice, "You go out first." โ
Zhou Lingwang didn't know why, but Jiang Muyi just shook her head, and seeing this, she had no choice but to retreat.
The emperor woke up slowly, Jiang Muyi fed a bowl of medicine over, "The saint is awake." โ
"Empress......" Emperor Yuan Jia muttered, and he asked again, "Now, when is it?" โ
"The second year of Yuanjia, the first day of December." Jiang Muyi said patiently, I don't know why, she should be panicked at the moment, she should have used the old trick to make Emperor Yuanjia unconscious, but she didn't do it.
And, after Emperor Yuan Jia woke up, she didn't even seem to care about what was going on outside. Emperor Yuanjia's awakening means that there can only be one more alive between them.
"December ......" He was in a coma for only three or four months, but now in a blink of an eye, it was already December, he didn't ask why the queen was here, maybe he had forgotten what he had been grounded in, he slowly asked, "How is it outside?" โ
Maybe it's on the verge of death, he has a rare Qingming now, he has been half alive and half dead for so long, the outside should be about to turn upside down.
Meng Songyan died, Gu Lingxu was trapped, and I didn't know if he would agree to his request.
It should be difficult for an unruly person like him to bow his head. How is he doing now? Dead? I really want to see him bow down.
"Gu Ling defected to the enemy, and after expelling Xirong with the Southern Jin Dynasty, he fought together. Now, it's about time to get down to the city. The courtiers plan to move the capital, but King Zhao and I refuse, and now outside, it is estimated that there is a mutiny. Jiang Muyi said lightly, she didn't seem to care about it, and she didn't need those titles in front of Emperor Yuanjia.
has been married to him for many years, and this is the first time she has experienced this.
"That's it......" Emperor Yuan Jia didn't have the anger and surprise that Jiang Muyi imagined, he was just sad, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Jiang Muyi looked down at him, first surprised, then clear and sarcastic.
Therefore, in the period after Meng Gong's death, he knew what the result would be if he died in a drunken dream? He knew what kind of impact that edict would have on Northern Qi.
He knew, so he wasn't surprised at the moment.
He knew, but he still chose to paralyze himself with drunken dreams and death. He still gave the edict because of his whim.
"Why did the Holy One do that? Why do you want to be absurd in political affairs, why do you want to force Gu Lingxu? Jiang Muyi couldn't help but grit her teeth and ask.
She thought he didn't know, but it turned out that he didn't care.
"Why?" Emperor Yuan Jia felt a little funny, and even the sadness in his heart was slightly lightened, "I just killed a courtier unintentionally, and the whole world feels that I am wrong, how can I rule the world?" Everyone thinks I can't rule the world, everyone thinks I'm incompetent. In the face of Gu Lingxu's provocation, everyone told me to endure. I live in patience and doubt all the time.
Empress, do you think I look like an emperor? I am the emperor, how dare they, how dare they treat me like this? I can't stand it, let alone me? โ
Tears flowed from his eyes, containing infinite grievances.
"This is the Emperor! Didn't I tell you before that? "The night before the angel in the palace came to Liangzhou, she warned Emperor Yuanjia how difficult it was to be the emperor.
"You said that! But who gave me a choice? I am not material, since I was born, everyone told me that I am the son of King Liang, and I will inherit King Liang in the future. Who told me that I would become this emperor in the future? Who gave me a choice? The Zhou family, the clan, they called me to ascend the throne and ascend the throne! Emperor Yuan Jia felt aggrieved.
"Who has a choice in the current situation?" Jiang Muyi's eyes were full of tears, and she was about to fall, "You said you didn't have a choice, the day you left Liangzhou, didn't you forget to cry with joy?" โ
If she hadn't reminded him, I was afraid that he would have been charged with disrespect before he ascended the throne.
Yuan Jiadi was sluggish.
"I just don't have a choice." Tears came out of her eyes, she was crying to get married, and she entered Beijing with anxiety, and after Zhu was criticized, she was even more restless day and night.
But once the responsibility is in hand, where is it said that it can be abandoned.
She didn't want to marry him, but the marriage was an agreement between the two families in the past, if she didn't marry, Princess Lao Liang would be the first to let her go, and her family would not tolerate her. So she got married, but she also made a look like his ideal princess. She took care of the back house, mentioned his political affairs, and even pretended to love him and played with him.
She doesn't want to be the queen, but she knows that the result of the throne is the result of the game of all parties, and as a pawn, if she resists, she will only face a dead end. But no matter how unwilling she is, she is also an impeccable virtuous queen.
In such a chaotic situation, she didn't want to touch power, but if she didn't, she would have to watch so many people who didn't deserve to die die, including herself. So she chose to do it. She gambled with her life.
It's a pity that it's a step too late after all, and she can only watch the territory fall.
Because you didn't choose to become a victim of the political maelstrom, do you want to implicate more innocent people in the game?
Emperor Yuan Jia looked at Jiang Muyi a little stunned.
"Xiao Zeqing, to this day, you are to blame, and you have nothing to do with others. I don't understand why I can swing a butcher's knife at someone else with peace of mind when I am in pain. Is it because you cannot take revenge on the strong who inflict pain on you, and then on the innocent, the numerous, the weak at your mercy? Jiang Muyi reprimanded angrily.
"You...... You...... You are presumptuous! How did you...... How dare you...... How dare you ......" Xiao Zeqing was so angry that she couldn't speak, just stumbling, his face was flushed, looking at Jiang Muyi, he couldn't wait to peel his skin and cramp, "Someone...... Someone ...... coming."
Jiang Muyi's expression was cold, and his tone was cold, "I think I owe you nothing." โ
She doesn't regret what she has done before, and she doesn't feel indebted to what she has to do.
She did deceive Emperor Yuan Jiadi's feelings, but originally, Emperor Yuan Jiadi didn't have any real feelings for her, besides, she originally planned to deceive him for the rest of her life.
She did ask someone to drug Emperor Yuanjia, but if she didn't harm him, she would wait to be implicated in his perverse actions and die.
She is not a good person, nor is she a gentleman, but she also thinks that she is much better than him, and it is precisely because she is not a gentleman that she will not feel that there is anything wrong with what she has done, and she will not have so many feelings of guilt and indebtedness.
"In this life, you owe me a lot."
It was because she married him that she faced so much. It is because he is perverse and only cares about his own pleasure that he is now in a dilemma, but if he is wise, he will not be like this.
But if he didn't eat the Yuhua Pill and was not fooled by the eunuch family, things would not have happened so unmanageable today.
Jiang Muyi looked at Emperor Yuan Jia, who was dying and struggling, she was not happy, and such a thing as beating the water dog could not arouse her any achievements at all. As she said, there is nothing to be proud of when she oppresses the weak, the only thing to be proud of is to weaken the strong who oppress her.
"Why don't you use your life to exchange my life? In this way, it can be regarded as a debt of not indebtedness. Jiang Muyi spoke softly.
Although Emperor Yuan Jia is a dying person, he has no achievements in life, and there are many deaths and destructions, but he is an emperor, and the emperor is a bargaining chip many times.
To be honest, she is not a loyal minister of Northern Qi, otherwise she would not have been able to do such a rebellious thing. She is willing to gamble her life for the people, but she is not willing to gamble her life for the Northern Qi clan regime.
She could die at the hands of the rebels, but she was not willing to die in the calculations of the struggle for power.
Once the mutiny from the outside world began, it was almost impossible for her to succeed in the battle she had originally planned to defend the whole country.
She said this just to provoke Emperor Yuan Jia, his body is now like the wind and the wind is broken, so it is not surprising that he is dead.
At that time, even if he invited the imperial doctor to check it, Emperor Yuan Jia would be angry.
The rebels who were joined forces outside to make trouble were angry to death.
Jiang Muyi is not an absolutely good person, but her moral bottom line is still very high. And she has a lot of responsibility.
Emperor Yuanjia has no way, and everyone will be punished.
So we are glad that Xiao Jiang is out of the quagmire and is about to be promoted and make a fortune! ๏ผฏ(โงโฆ)๏ผฏ
