Chapter 174: The Huns Move
Unexpectedly, the mother threw it out directly and was smashed to pieces.
Seeing this, the two guards quickly stepped forward, put away all the wood, and spoke loudly inside.
"Concubine Wan! It is strictly forbidden to pass on items privately in the cold palace! ”
The woman's maniacal laughter was heard from inside, and it was chilling to hear.
"Waste things, don't take these things to see me!"
"If you really want me to be good, then go and take the crown prince away, only if you become the emperor, can you save your mother from this cold palace!"
When Li Fengke heard this, his face changed.
There were also two forbidden soldiers on the spot, and such a rebellious word reached the ears of the prince, wouldn't it be a capital crime.
"The Queen Mother! I can't say that again! Li Fengke paused, and then said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now the prince of the country, and he is responsible for the society of the country, how can I compare with a person who only understands woodcarving?" ”
When Concubine Wan heard her son's words to increase the morale of others and destroy her own prestige, she was angry and did not fight anywhere.
"Good! You've got a new mother, and it's different now. Don't care about my life or death, let me stay in this cold palace for the rest of my life! ”
After Concubine Wan's words were finished, there was a heart-rending shout from inside.
Li Fengke's face was painful, "Don't worry, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, I will beg him to forgive your sins and release you from the cold palace." ”
"Haha, haha. You think I'm rare? In this life, I don't want to leave this dilapidated palace wall. Concubine Wan's laughter filled the entire empty cold palace.
Li Fengke didn't want to stay any longer, he was afraid of his mother's desperate laughter.
I hate my own powerlessness, I hate my own stupidity.
He took another ingot of silver from his bosom and gave it to the two guards.
"Today's matter, please forgive the two adults, Concubine Wan...... Concubine Wan's heart is unstable, that's why she ......"
The two guards looked at Li Fengke and took the silver, "The fifth prince is polite, this is all as it should be." ”
"Thank you." Li Fengke arched his hand, and then turned to leave.
Thinking of what Li Yuntian had done just now, he thought of his mother's cry of pain.
For the first time, Li Fengke had the idea of seeking a place for himself in the whirlpool of power struggle.
On the other side of the East Palace, the first thing Li Yunxing did when he returned to the palace was to deal with the backlog of twists and turns.
Not to mention that the emperor's position is not easy to sit on, Li Yunxing has a headache every day when he watches the recitals sent by these courtiers than he does when he reads ancient books.
It's just a matter of using some rare words that are usually difficult to see, but the front of the letter is saying that the mountains and rivers are good, and the scenery is good, all because of the blessing of Emperor Wu and the gratitude of heaven and earth.
It wasn't until the last sentence that I said how the people have been feeling in recent days.
When I read it, there was no useful information at all.
It all depends on how they pat His Royal Highness Emperor Wu on the back, and they don't talk about the people's sufferings at all, let alone build a new homeland.
He was about to ask someone to take down this batch of folds, but suddenly found that the end of the folds wrote, "Your Majesty, there have been rumors among the people recently that the Huns have invaded again, and they have asked to send troops to defend it. ”
This letter was presented by Chen Wentao, the assassin of the state.
Chen Wentao has always been cautious, and the news attached at the end of the memora has also been carefully considered, and there has never been any omission.
Li Yunxing immediately opened the fold and read it carefully.
The more I look at it, the more strange it becomes.
Although there have been frequent wars in the northwest in recent years, it seems that it is still far from the Xiongnu going south again!
Moreover, the Huns have been calm for so many years and have never taken the initiative to provoke, how could they suddenly go south this time?
Although Bingzhou borders Youzhou and the Xiongnu, Youzhou is more like a defense line of the Wu Dynasty, from east to south like the arch guarding the great rivers and mountains of the Wu Dynasty, and the Bingzhou is a barrier at the northernmost end of the Wu Dynasty, the two are connected, so the impact of the safety of the state on the Wu Dynasty is relatively weak.
Why did the Xiongnu suddenly go south? Is there a secret behind this?
Li Yunxing frowned and pondered for a long time, and picked out this letter.
Fingers tapped on it a few times, and half a month has passed since this letter was sent to the capital, but no one in the court mentioned it.
Thinking of this, Li Yunxing summoned the embroidered clothes to the palace and asked, "Is there anything about the southern invasion of the Xiongnu in the government and the opposition recently?" ”
Jiang He lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has been paying attention to the dynamics in the court, and I have not heard of this matter yet. ”
"So, have you ever received news from the North?"
Jiang He was a little puzzled when he heard this, and just wanted to deny it and say no, but he thought of another thing.
I hesitated, not knowing whether to say it or not.
This subtle change in expression was captured by Li Yunxing's sharp eyes.
"What? Is it because this palace didn't punish you hard enough to make you so spitting? ”
Li Yunxing shouted loudly, which frightened Jiang He and "pounced" to his knees.
"Back to the emperor, I did receive news from the northern Xinjiang, but the minister thought it was ...... This news is fake, so I didn't tell you. ”
"Huh? What's the news? Li Yunxing's eyes were sharp.
"The Xiongnu once went south to Youzhou, but no war broke out, and it is said that the Xiongnu king just took the cavalry around Youzhou for a while, and then retreated."
Although this explanation is reasonable, it is obviously not enough to satisfy Li Yunxing.
After all, he didn't believe that the Xiongnu would suddenly be kind-hearted and give up attacking the Wu Dynasty, and there must be fraud in this.
"Such an important thing! Why don't you report it?! ”
His tone suddenly rose a little.
Jiang He fell to the ground and shrunk his neck, and said in a trembling voice: "Because...... There were no casualties caused by this incident, and if it were not for special circumstances, the minister really did not dare to rush to hand the news to the prince, for fear that it would disturb the Holy Hearing! ”
"Bastard!" Li Yunxing scolded angrily and kicked Jiang He in the chest, "If someone hadn't played today, when would you still be hiding from the palace?!" ”
Jiang He's lips squirmed, and he swallowed back the fishy sweetness that came up in his throat, and said in a muffled voice: "Humble and wrong, please punish the prince!" ”
"Hmph, this palace sees that you really ate bear heart leopard gall!" Li Yunxing was furious.
Jiang He didn't dare to say anything more, and knelt on the ground with his eyes down, waiting for punishment.
"Go and get the Ten Commandments, and then let the Imperial Doctor treat you."
"If you don't report it next time, consider considering the heads of your three brothers!"
Jiang He's heart jumped violently when he heard this, and then he hurriedly kowtowed and apologized.
"Humble and punished, Emperor Xie is magnanimous!"
He raised his head, a trace of determination crossed his eyes, and secretly swore that the next time he encountered something similar, he would report it to the prince first.
At least the prince can't be misunderstood because of this.
"Alright, get out of here!"
Li Yunxing waved his hand and motioned for Jiang He to retreat.
After he left, Li Yunxing threw the fold on the table, rubbed the corner of his forehead and fell into deep thought.
