No matter what everyone thinks in secret, on the surface, the case of Concubine Wan's victimization still ended with the death of the Daegu family in the cold palace.

In order to compensate Concubine Wan, Pei Yao gave a lot of rewards, large and small, and also gave face to accompany her for a few meals, and said to the outside world, saying that even if Concubine Wan could not have children, she still had merit in raising the six princesses, and anyone who dared to chew the root of her tongue would be severely punished according to the palace rules.

Part of the reason why Concubine Wan was given face like this was because of the war in the north.

The days have flickered to now, tossing and turning, and it is the end of May, the army of Shangyang State has relied on Jin Wuke to support alone, Lin Chen has not driven the expedition before, Jin Wuke can still command the whole field in the army, even if he is seriously injured, he can also mobilize men and horses, strategize, rely on the natural geographical advantages of Tiemen Pass, resist the army of Daqi and continue to go north.

But as soon as Lin Chen came, he was arrogant and self-serving, and there were people arranged by Prince Ping around him to slander him, he originally saw the situation on the front line, and his attitude towards Jin Wuke was still a little better, but then he drove the personal expedition and failed to produce results, but he was deflated everywhere, and the anger in his heart came up.

felt that Jin Wuke was cowering and couldn't play with momentum, which made the morale of the Shangyang army low and everyone lazy.

Therefore, he ignored Jin Wuke's dissuasion, set a military strategy, and personally led the main army of Yang State to meet the enemy, without thinking about it, he naturally returned defeated, not only defeated, but he was also shot in the heart by Huo Mingxuan's arrow.

If it weren't for the armor, which was close to the inside and wearing gold silk soft armor, I was afraid that I would die on the spot.

And in this battle, he lost most of the main force of Shangyang Kingdom, and the remaining ones who fled back were also injured and disabled.

Lin Chen was in a hurry, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and his body collapsed.

immediately ordered someone to escort him back to Beijing, and let Jin Wuke continue to guard the iron gate.

But the elite troops of Shangyang Kingdom have been tossed by him, Jin Wuke was already seriously injured, and he was also angry during this time, and no matter how many divine soldiers descended from the sky, it would not be able to resist the killing sound of the Great Qi army.

On the thirteenth day of Lin Chen's escape from the Iron Gate Pass, Huo Mingxuan broke through the Iron Gate Pass, and a generation of famous Jin family generals died under the random arrows.

In fact, Huo Mingxuan admired Jin Wuke as a veteran very much in his heart, because he and the generals of Daqi speculated that Jin Wuke took over this mess and could last for three days at most, but he didn't expect it to last for a full thirteen days, giving Lin Chen so much time to escape.

It's just that Lin Chen can't escape no matter how much he escapes.

The capital of Shangyang State, Prince Ping spread the news to the outside world when the Daqi army broke through the Iron Gate Pass, saying that Lin Chen's pro-villain Yuan Xianchen was only for his own merits, and he abandoned hundreds of thousands of soldiers to ignore it, and at the critical moment, he was stubborn and self-serving, and tens of thousands of elites of Shangyang Kingdom were killed, but he fled back by himself, leaving General Jin Wuke with the remaining soldiers to defend against the enemy with his life.

Originally, the people of Shangyang Kingdom were angry because of the defeat of the war, and when they heard the news, they were naturally even more boiling.

In the homes of ordinary people, how many strong men have been arrested to join the army, and they are all their blood relatives.

For a while, Lin Chen was a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him.

And at this time, seeing that the situation was almost over, Prince Ping broke out again, the first battle with Daqi that year was precisely because Lin Chen, who was still the crown prince, in order to successfully inherit the unification, did not hesitate to kill the six princes born by Yin Guifei, and the enemy betrayed the country, and it was Lin Chen and the Queen Mother's mother and son who coup in the palace that year, not Yin Guifei.

As soon as this news came out, naturally some followers of Prince Ping began to chant for Prince Ping to abolish Lin Chen and establish himself as king.

By the time Pei Yao received the news, things had already developed to this point.

Prince Ping of Shangyang established himself as the king, and had imprisoned Lin Chen, the faint monarch, and Prince Ping wrote a letter of state, asking for peace with Daqi, promising that as long as the Daqi army was willing to retreat beyond the Iron Gate Pass, Shangyang would pay Daqi according to the compensation of the previous war, plus 30%.

This also means that Daqi has occupied all the cities south of the Shangyang National Iron Gate Pass this time, and then can get more compensation than last time.

Of course, this is also a lot of wealth, but Pei Yao wants much more than that.

As the saying goes, again and again, he has already mobilized troops with Shangyang Kingdom twice, but he doesn't have the heart to let him live again.

The last time I agreed to sue for peace, it was because I first ascended to Dabao, and the treasury was not abundant, but now the army is strong and strong, the military salary is sufficient, and it has already reached the summer, even if it is a few more months, the autumn harvest is over, and the grain comes up, and it is directly replenished.

And after fighting so far and capturing so many cities in the Shangyang Kingdom, which city does not have a few wealthy and wealthy families.

Just the money from the house was added to the military salary.

But it's one thing not to agree, it's another thing to try to reduce your losses.

Therefore, Pei Yao still responded to Prince Ping's letter of state, saying that the amount of compensation was not enough, and he wanted to continue to talk, but it was definitely unrealistic for the two to meet, so Huo Mingxuan would talk for him.

Prince Ping naturally agreed.

In his opinion, as long as he sits firmly on the throne, if he wants to be rich or not, even if he gives more compensation now, it will not affect him.

However, Huo Mingxuan received another secret letter from Pei Yao here.

Talking about peace is naturally fake, but it is just a matter of letting the army eat and drink well for a few days, and then take it in one fell swoop.

The big war is coming, and Pei Yao is naturally in a good mood.

The only thing that bothered him now was the matter of the Five Princes.

I started it half a year ago, and the clues were wiped clean, so it was really hard to check.

The physical condition of the five princes is a foregone conclusion, although Pei Yao has not completely given up and is still looking for famous doctors, but he actually doesn't have too many expectations in his heart.

It's sad to see a lot, so Pei Yao thought about it and came to Yuzhang Palace.

Fang Yu's stomach was already bulging high, the weather was hot, and the clothes he was wearing were thin, which was even more obvious.

Listening to Yuan He's report that the emperor was coming, Fang Yu also slowly helped Yanwei's hand to get up.

As soon as I walked to the door, I met Pei Yao.

"Your Majesty."

Fang Yu hooked his lips and smiled lightly.

Pei Yao looked at the woman in front of him, his expression softened, and he led her to the house.

"It's hot, you're heavy, what's wrong? I heard Hong Zheng say that you like to eat sour and spicy things now, but I am afraid that you will get angry. ”

"Xu is this little naughty in the stomach, the concubine's appetite is more tricky than when she was pregnant with Ji'er, and she always feels that there is no taste in her mouth, so she wants to eat heavier, but she has also asked Doctor Zeng, and it is okay." Fang Yu said with a smile.

Raising his hand to touch his belly, his face was also soft.

When she was pregnant with the fourth prince, she was plotted by someone, and the whole pregnancy was not very comfortable, this child was peaceful, and Fang Yu's mood was naturally good.

Emotions are contagious.

At this time, the corners of Pei Yao's lips were also hooked, and he joked, "Folk say sour and spicy girls, you love sour and spicy food, you don't even know if it's a boy or a girl." ”

"It's just some unfounded words, the emperor still makes fun of this concubine, if the concubine likes to eat sweet and salty, what should I say." Fang Yu also teased, and said again at the end, "I heard that the emperor went to see the five princes yesterday, and the concubines are not easy to ask these days, how is the fifth prince's body recovering now?" When Ji'er went to the school this morning, she also told the concubines that the five princes would not go to the school, and the four brothers would not be complete. ”
