Chapter 1062: The Edge of Despair

The first thing He Ye heard was the news of the Queen Mother's "dictatorship" decision to negotiate peace.

After reading the short lines of text, the coldness spread around His Royal Highness for a moment was like a huge iceberg pressing on the top, almost not forcing Jiang Yuan on the side to break his knees, break his spine, and almost subconsciously knelt on the ground, in his memory, except for when the Empress Dowager forced the palace before the death of Emperor Renzong, His Royal Highness had never had such a forbearance of anger, he didn't know what bad news came from Kyoto, but he sensed that something big had happened, he didn't dare to ask, he could only kneel silently, waiting for King Jin's order.

The silence was not too long, and when Jiang Yu just thought that maybe His Royal Highness would discuss with the princess first, he listened: "Prepare the horse, I want to go to Youzhou." ”

At this time? The eunuch was stunned for a short time, but when he saw His Highness's cold look, his eyes did not look at him, revealing Sen Han's killing intent but also stabbed his heart and liver, he knew that His Highness had made up his mind, and he promised to go out.

Jiang Yu naturally understands that His Royal Highness needs more than just "preparing horses", since he is going to Youzhou, he naturally has to be careful, he needs to invite Hu Bo to come over and disguise himself, and maybe he should also inform Ruan Changshi that he is ready at any time, His Royal Highness will go to Youzhou at this time, it must be a big event, it is difficult to say whether there will be something to explain to the subordinate officials, as for the princess...... The princess is pregnant, and Her Royal Highness should not want the princess to worry and consume, so Liu Ruren should also be informed, maybe His Royal Highness also has advice.

The eunuch thought silently in his heart, and as soon as he came out of the library, he saw the princess coming here with the help of Ah Lu, and her expression was also solemn, and when she saw him, she didn't know if she had a clue, and asked: "What is Your Highness's order?" ”

Jiang Yuan didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly replied: "Your Highness wants to go to Youzhou, and the old slave is about to prepare." ”

"Don't be busy yet." The princess said a word and entered the library.

Eleven Niang naturally received He Zhan's secret message, knowing that the plan had failed, Wei Haichi finally decided to use Tubo to suppress the Turks, and insisted on using the humiliating so-called peace talks to appease the five Turkic tribes again.

She didn't enter He Ye's study, He Ye had obviously heard her footsteps and rushed out first.

"The princess also knows?" He stood in front of Eleven Niang, and showed off Ah Lu at a glance, he stretched out his hand to shake the woman, tried his best to moderate his voice, and the killing intent in his eyes also decreased inch by inch, but there was a huge sadness and grief and anger surging from the place where the killing intent sank, he lowered his eyebrows, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, it was not a smile, it was clearly the despair of trying his best but still dying, and it was a powerless but firm and absolute guilt.

"I know it all." Eleven Niang flipped her palm and firmly held He Ye's cold palm at this time, she was also full of firmness, the difference was that she was not sad and angry, and she was not desperate: "Your Highness wants to go to Youzhou, does it want to start an incident in advance, transfer the Youzhou army, and conquer the Turks?" ”

"The princess should know that repeated concessions will only make the Great Zhou Sheji fall into a catastrophe."

"Your Highness should also be clear about what it means to rush into trouble. This is far from the time, how much difference is there between the incident at this time and the incident when His Highness first went to Taiyuan? Empress Dowager Wei can tolerate the repeated provocations and persecution of the Turkic army, but she will never tolerate His Royal Highness to join the Duke of Yan to go on an expedition, His Royal Highness and the Turkic army are at war, Empress Dowager Wei will definitely be accused of rebellion by His Royal Highness and the Duke of Yan, and order the forbidden army to kill the rebels from behind the formation. ”

"Am I going to watch Jiangshan Sheji be buried by this woman Webster?" He Ye's voice was not furious, but extremely low, and with his other hand, he gently stroked Eleven Niang's not messy sideburns, and his expression became more and more desolate: "Yiyi don't worry, I can at least do my best to protect you, before I go on the expedition, I will order He Yan to put the princess under house arrest, no matter what I win or lose in Ganzhou, I will not implicate Yiyi, and even Xuanzhi and Chengtai can get out of the way......"

"None of us can get out of it all." Eleven Niang interrupted He Ye's words: "Because if His Royal Highness suddenly starts an incident, there is no chance of winning, the entire army of the Youzhou Department will be annihilated, Juyong Pass will be broken by the barbarians sooner or later, if the Yunzhou Department is scattered, can the Thunder have the ability to resist the five coalition forces?" Sooner or later, the Turks will force Chang'an, dominate the world, and China will be destroyed, and we will all be slaves of the country, Your Highness is not desperate, this is a martyrdom, Your Highness does not want to be humiliated by the barbarians, can we wait and steal peace? So I have to stop Your Highness, because Your Highness is doing something that cannot be done, I can't watch Your Highness die, I don't want to die with Your Highness, I don't want to be ruined by years of hard work, and before the time of despair, how can I let Your Highness go to a dead end. ”

"Isn't it time for despair?"

"It's not time for despair!" Shi Niang became more and more determined: "As long as His Royal Highness is still there, as long as Yan Guogong and other soldiers are still there, it will not be a time of despair, because only His Royal Highness is the last hope of Huaxia Sheji, and only His Royal Highness can protect the subjects of He Zhou. ”

Unlike the autumn when Chang'an was engulfed by the storm, the autumn of Taiyuan was still bright and clear, the wind swept in, Ke Zhi swayed, leaking wisps of bright light, shining deeply into the eyes of Eleven Niang, making her dark eyes warm and warm, gradually, the light and warmth also infected He Ye's eyes, he really had a smile, took a step forward, turned around, and stood side by side with his princess, and looked at the autumn sun on the roof together.

"It's me who is impulsive, the princess is right, not in the moment of despair, since the decisive battle between Hu and Han is inevitable, I should gather strength and wait for the opportunity, at this time in a hurry, it is tantamount to surrendering without a fight, I almost became a coward and a sinner, thanks to the princess as a slap in the face."

Eleven Niang also smiled, as if relieved.

"I can understand the grief and indignation in His Highness's heart, His Highness was born as a descendant of the surname He, and his feelings of worrying about the country and the people are more than ordinary people, Empress Dowager Wei endured humiliation this time, and indeed missed the last opportunity to defeat the Turks, the danger is imminent, His Highness will inevitably lose his mind, the so-called personnel obey the destiny of heaven, and the personnel are not finished, how can His Highness be at ease?"

"I will be ready for a real decisive battle with the Turks in the future."

"I never doubt that I believe that Your Highness will definitely be able to defeat the barbarians."

About a month after this day, He Ye only learned about the specific humiliating conditions, but this time he was not filled with righteous indignation, in the evening, when he went to Yuguanju, he still put his palm on Eleven Niang's already obviously bulging abdomen, holding his breath and feeling the movement of the more and more naughty fetus, after a while, he finally smiled and was satisfied, but he had to feel guilty, and he himself felt regretful.

"The Queen Mother will descend to Ashina Qisang, it is clear that she wants to put Tong'an to death, I must be saved Tong'an, I don't go in person, I can't rest assured, but this time, I may not be able to rush back before Yiyi gives birth."

This time, Eleven Niang did not dissuade He Ye.

Because she can't watch Tong'an become a victim of the game between the enemy and me, of course, there is nothing to do with He Yan, but because Tong'an's biological mother Ye Zhaoyuan, in the last journey of Wu Dan's life, Ye Zhaoyuan still does not give up, Tong'an is the only blood and blood left by Ye Zhaoyuan in the world, she can't see death without help.

Only Ah Lu was worried about the fact that His Royal Highness the King of Jin could not accompany the princess in childbirth, and he couldn't help but complain in the princess's ear: "The first emperor is indeed kind to His Royal Highness, but if it weren't for the cowardice of the first emperor, His Royal Highness would not suffer from these many setbacks. ”

Eleven Niang didn't know that Ah Lu was so dismissive of He Yan, and her heart was inexplicably "chuckled", but this ominous premonition was indescribable, and there was no trace of it, she just refuted it with a straight color: "If Princess Tong'an's descent can really curb the war and save the subjects from catastrophe, of course His Royal Highness will not abolish the public for personal reasons, but the current situation is that even if Tong'an is pro-Turkic, it will not be able to quell the war. can be so ruthless in blood and family affection, how can he be virtuous to the people in the future? ”

Ah Lu said aggrievedly: "The maid is worried about the princess's sorrow, and the princess is about to give birth!" ”

"I will not be sorrowful." Eleven Niang smiled: "I believe that His Highness will return safely." ”

He Ye is "robbing relatives" this time, not fighting head-on with the Turks, but sneaking secretly, and will not expose his disguise, and the Turks have no intention of "Qin and Jin" with the Great Zhou at all, where does he attach importance to the princess of Tong'an? He Ye took advantage of his unpreparedness, if he couldn't sneak attack a single mission and retreat, how could he have the ability to fight a decisive battle with the Turkic army in the future?

Ah Lu is still unconvinced: "The princess was robbed, and she couldn't get married, wouldn't she give the Turks an excuse to raise an army?" ”

"That's why His Royal Highness has to wait for the Turkic mission to leave the Great Zhou Domain, the Turks are not effective in protecting the princess, causing the Northern Liao Xiao to rob and kill the princess and destroy the peace between the two countries, how can you blame the Great Zhou?"

"Why is Northern Liao Xiao getting in the way?" Even Binu was amazed.

"Of course, if it's Northern Liaoxiao." Eleven Niang looked at Binu: "If it weren't for Northern Liaoxiao, wouldn't it make the Queen Mother suspicious?" After all, the Queen Mother clearly understands that only Her Royal Highness will not bear to marry An Yuan. ”

Binu also knew that Yeluqi was now subject to the princess, and the princess was enough to coerce Northern Liao Xiao to carry this black pot for the king of Jin, but she still had something to understand: "Northern Liao and the Turks have always been at odds, of course, I don't want the Great Zhou to negotiate peace with the Turks, and there is indeed a reason to destroy the marriage, but if the Northern Liao Xiao takes the initiative to admit to robbing and killing the princess, won't it cause the fire and burn herself, and it will also make the Queen Mother suspicious." ”

"Abi has already figured out the key point." Eleven Niang praised: "Therefore, Northern Liao Xiao will not take the initiative to admit the mastermind, the Queen Mother gets the evidence, she is the chief envoy of Ye Lu Hong, the king of Northern Liao, and will be investigated to conclude that this is the strategy of Northern Liao Xiao to blame Ye Lu Hong, Northern Liao Xiao is in a civil war with Ye Lu Hong, if the Great Zhou is killed by the princess, speed up the conquest of Pan Bo, and support the Northern Liao Xiao to overthrow Ye Lu Hong in the future, wouldn't it be beneficial?" ”

Binu suddenly realized: "The Queen Mother doesn't know that Yeluqi is subject to the princess, of course she will not doubt that Her Royal Highness and the princess can drive Northern Liaoxiao, and as long as the Turks will not raise troops because of the robbery of Princess Tong'an, the Queen Mother will not hold Northern Liaoxiao accountable at all, as long as the Queen Mother does not doubt His Highness, the matter of the princess's robbery will be over, no matter how much damage is done to His Royal Highness, Northern Liaoxiao will not be harmed by His Royal Highness, and Northern Liaoxiao will of course agree to cooperate for Yeluqi's safety." ”

And not at ease: "Only the princess has been 'robbed and killed', of course she can't show up, there are so many eyes and ears in the palace of the King of Jin, it is not suitable to place the princess, and His Royal Highness will not be at ease to place the princess outside Jinyang City, and he can't really send the princess to Northern Liaoxiao, so how to properly place it?" ”

"It's a bit of a struggle for me." Eleven Niang frowned.

"The servant has an idea." Binu said suddenly.
