Chapter 820: Hunger Strike
In addition to the crazy four princes under the emperor's knees, only Yan Dui is left, and he can only be named the crown prince, but at this juncture, it is a little intriguing.
After Liu Yunxiang received the order, he asked Feng Zheng to go to the palace gate to guard, and Xu Yanwan would send someone to pass the word.
waited until it was dark, and Yan Duan did not come back, but Feng Zheng brought back the letter.
"His Royal Highness said that he won't return to the palace tonight, so don't worry about everything, he can handle it."
Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment, "What else is the situation?" ”
Feng Zheng thought for a while and said, "I met a lot of people from the minister's mansion at the gate of the palace who were also waiting there, and some of them also said that they would not return to the palace tonight, but I don't know what the situation was inside. ”
Liu Yunxiang sighed, "Then something big must have happened." ”
But since Yan Duan said that he could handle it, Liu Yunxiang would rest first. After working these days, it is for the sake of the child in her womb, and she also has to rest.
For three days in a row, Yan Du did not return home. Feng Zheng went to the gate of the palace every day to wait, and the letters he brought back told her not to worry.
"The ministers are still there?"
"Brought some out."
"Bring it out?"
"I said I was hungry, but I couldn't say a word when I asked what happened."
After resting for three days, Liu Yunxiang also eased up, and after a simple dress-up, she took Zijin and Feng Zheng into the palace.
Outside the study, there were more than ten ministers sitting in the courtyard, at this time in the summer, they were exposed to the sun, just when she entered the door, there happened to be a minister fainted.
The guards next to him were well-trained and hurriedly stepped forward to carry people out. The others still didn't move, and even some of them couldn't hold on, their bodies swaying, still gritting their teeth and holding on.
There was water and food in front of them, but no one took a sip or moved a mouthful.
The door to the upper study was closed, and there were guards guarding the outside. At this time, the door opened, and it was Shangguan Xu who walked out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's been three days, you can't get a drop of water, and so is the prince, you can't stand it anymore, and the prince can't stand it anymore. Ladies and gentlemen, please go back, the matter cannot be solved in a day or two, why do you force Your Highness like this. Shangguan Xu said bitterly.
The leader was Wu Min, a cabinet scholar, who was in his fifties, wearing an airtight court dress, and although his clothes were soaked with sweat, he also sat straight, with a resolute face, and a very literati style.
"Please take care of your health, it's useless for us to wait, so we can only use this to share your worries."
"Everyone, what is this worry, this is to roast His Highness on the fire!"
"Shangguan Governor is serious, and it is clearly us who is roasting on the fire."
As soon as Wu Min's voice fell, someone inside shouted: "Oh no, Your Highness has fainted, go find the imperial doctor!" ”
Shangguan Xu hurriedly ran back, ran to the door and stopped, turned back and shouted at those ministers: "Ministers, the emperor has fallen ill, and now he is the crown prince, if you force him out, then our Darong will really be finished!" ”
After speaking, Shangguan Xu hurriedly ran in.
When Liu Yunxiang heard this, he was naturally anxious and hurriedly ran inside. It was Shangguan Xu's people who were guarding outside the study, and when he saw that it was her, he opened the door and let her in.
Liu Yunxiang hurriedly ran into the back room, but saw Yan Duan leaning on the arhat bed eating melon seeds, and the herbal tea and chilled fruits here were placed next to him, how comfortable and comfortable it was, how comfortable and comfortable.
Seeing Liu Yunxiang coming in, Yan Du sighed, "Why are you here?" ”
Liu Yunxiang's heart fell to the ground suddenly, and she couldn't help glaring at Yan Dui, "I'm not worried about you." ”
"Didn't you tell you not to worry?"
"I'm afraid you will report good news and not bad news."
"I'm not that kind of person."
Seeing that Liu Yunxiang was about to get angry, Yan Duan hurriedly got up and pulled her over, let her lean on the Luohan bed, and picked up a chilled plum, just about to give it to Liu Yunxiang's mouth, remembering that she was pregnant and couldn't eat too cold, so she warmed it in her arms.
It wasn't so icy, so he gave it to Liu Yunxiang.
"The tribute is really sweet, you taste it."
Liu Yunxiang took a bite, sweet and sour, but it was just her taste. She was eating, Yan Du didn't wipe her mouth, and when she finished eating, he reached out to take the kernel and gave her another warm one.
"Your Highness, I just played that play, and the effect is still there, and the two of them are gone." Shangguan Xu rolled his eyes and said.
Yan Du gritted his teeth, "Only two?" ”
"Yes."
"These Wenchen are really difficult!"
Liu Yunxiang thought of the ministers he saw when he entered the hospital just now, and they were really all civil ministers.
"What the hell is going on?" She asked.
Yan Du didn't want her to worry about it, but not saying it would only make her more worried, so she shrugged her shoulders and said: "It's not a big deal, on the day you returned to Beijing, news came from the southern state that the Southern Jin Dynasty suddenly violated my Ling'an Pass, and after a fierce battle, the Ling'an army was defeated and fled away from the pass, and the Southern Jin Dynasty went all the way north and occupied Ling'an City." ”
When Liu Yunxiang heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then thought of the previous life, in fact, it was already a year later than the Southern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Expedition.
In the last life, the Southern Jin Dynasty took advantage of the invasion of Darong Nanzhou during the riots, and fought all the way to the Yangtze River, as long as you cross the river, you can go straight to Shengjing. At that time, the Three Kingdoms were only in alliance, and although they contained the invasion of the Southern Jin Dynasty, they also gave up more than a dozen cities south of the Yangtze River.
Since then, Daiei has been divided, the imperial court has suffered heavy losses, the people have been displaced, and at the time of her death, she was still in a state of collapse. At that time, she could already see Darong's qi, or in a few years, it would be eaten away by the Southern Jin, Xiyue and Northern Jin.
The reason why it was a year late was that the Nanzhou riots in this life did not drag the entire Darong into the war, and Zhenbei and Zhenxi still retained their combat effectiveness, so the Southern Jin Dynasty did not dare to attack rashly.
The three kingdoms wanted to form an alliance, and while he made overtures to the other two countries and disrupted the alliance plan, he invaded Daei and made them mess up.
"The alliance of the Three Kingdoms has now become the moon in the mirror, and the Southern Jin Dynasty invaded a city at this time, which really shocked the whole court and panicked. The ministers asked the imperial court to take the strongest attitude and immediately send troops to recover Ling'an City and Ling'an Pass, while the generals did not take the lead, and they all took sick leave. Yan Dui said speechlessly.
Liu Yunxiang frowned, "There is going to be a war soon, and you still say it's not a big deal." ”
"It's not a big deal, when I transfer the Zhenbei Army back to Zhenbei, our family of four will also go back, regardless of his three-seven-twenty-one, whether this battle is fought or not, how to fight, we don't care!" Yan Du said with a smile.
Liu Yunxiang's eyes widened, "You, you plan to do so?" ”
"Otherwise, the emperor made me the crown prince at this time, and then pretended to be sick and pushed me to the cusp, Lu Changan and Qin Fei jumped up and down on weekdays to compete for this son, and they were also sick at this time, why can't I be sick, I want to be terminally ill and go back to Zhenbei to recuperate!" Yan Du said angrily.
"Your Highness, Lord Yushi Xu, the left capital of the Inspectorate, fainted."
Yan Du snorted, "Ask for it!" ”
"He wasn't faint from hunger, he was bleeding profusely."
"Oh?"
Shangguan Xu sighed and handed over a pile of blood books.
