Chapter 0020: The Wind Rises
The court once again fell into an eerie silence, Xu Lin was still alive, and he had already led his troops into the territory of the ghost side, saying that he wanted to snatch back the 50,000 people who were snatched away by the ghost side, this must be true, this is the master of ceremonies, and it is the news that Liu Gongjin said himself, over the years, Liu Gongjin has not once had the news inaccurate.
Liu Gongjin didn't know what everyone was talking about in the court, he only thought that today's emperor was in the early dynasty, there must be something big to announce, Xu Lin brought 10,000 people into the ghost side, this is the best way to frame Xu Lin, no matter what Xu Lin did before, the court can make a fuss about this matter.
He didn't expect two things today, first, he didn't expect Sima Xiang to come back early and swear to the emperor that Xu Lin was dead; Second, I didn't expect Xu Yeqing to return to Beijing and detain his subordinates, I thought it was first-hand news, but after the emperor made a conclusion about Xu Lin, he said it.
You know, you don't joke!
Liu Gongjin is very smart, he has followed the emperor for many years, and with the emperor's expression, he knows what the emperor is thinking, and now he doesn't dare to say a word, and quietly retreats to the side.
Yang Yi rubbed the hot iron and said: "Your Majesty, because the prince led the team to kill 100,000 ghost people, the ghost side carried out a retaliatory invasion of the southwest, 600,000 soldiers divided into three routes, and robbed me of 50,000 soldiers and civilians, Your Majesty is in poor health, the old minister took the initiative and wrote a letter to the prince, asking him to solve the problem of the southwest army, the prince's strategy for entering the ghost demon clan should be to use himself as bait to attract the main force of the ghost side to return to China, this kind of courage, this strategy, is really the dragon and phoenix among the people!" ”
Zhou Gongwei naturally would not let Yang Yi bear this responsibility alone, and said: "There are also old ministers who write letters to the prince!" Your Majesty, please condemn you! ”
Above the court, the ministers and the monarch are in danger, and when all the ministers are united, the emperor cannot make his own decisions.
Xu Qilin looked at everyone in the audience, and his heart was about to explode, but he had to put a surprised expression on his face, and said loudly: "God bless me Wuyang, Taiwei, I have appointed you as the generalissimo of the expedition to the west, and you will be responsible for the war in the southwest and northwest, and the prince will go deep into the ghost side, I order you to protect the prince's safety at all costs!" ”
The emperor knew that it was the best thing to do to protect his reputation.
Only then did Liu Gongjin know what was being studied in the court, the fucking Sima Xiang was simply a pig's brain, with Zuo Qiulu there, how could the prince die so easily?
But it's yourself who makes the mistake, so how can that be? Putting the blame on the princess won't solve the problem.
That night, Xu Qilin really fell ill, he never thought that the three dukes would unite to protect the prince, the emperor knew that they were all loyal ministers, and they were Qing officials and direct ministers, the main crux was still on the prince, this kid pretended to be in the palace, exiled to the northwest, the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, he leaked his true nature. Such a prince has a queen mother who controls the Northeast Army, what if the future country name is changed back to Nangong?
The imperial physician gave the emperor a pulse and said: "Your Majesty is in good health, but you are just in a hurry, Your Majesty, the prince is a dragon son, with the blessing of the ancestors, with your protection, he will definitely turn the corner!" ”
Xu Qilin suddenly dropped the bowl and yelled, "Get out!" ”
When I went out, I smelled a fragrance, and when I looked up, it was Concubine Mi, she saw the panicked appearance of the imperial doctor, and said: "Your Majesty's body is fine, why are you panicking like this?" Where's your prescription? ”
The imperial doctor respectfully handed the prescription to Concubine Mi, and after Concubine Mi checked it, she said, "There is no problem, you go, I will go to see Your Majesty." ”
Entering the dormitory, Xu Qilin was still angry on the bed, Concubine Mi Guifei sat on the edge of the bed, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be treated for this disease, just adjust your mentality, the concubine doesn't understand, why are you so afraid of the prince and the queen?" ”
The emperor looked at Concubine Mi's eyes more and more lovingly, and said: "Nangong Zhan supports the army and respects himself, and never obeys the summons, I finally boiled him to death, and the Northeast Army should be disbanded, otherwise, the Northeast Army will always be a sword hanging in the world of the Xu family." ”
Concubine Mi said: "I think you are too worried, the queen mother is a female generation after all, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not your son?" ”
The emperor had nothing to do, leaned on his side and coaxed the eunuchs and palace maids out, and said: "Ai Concubine, you only know one and don't know the other, at the beginning of the founding of Wuyang, Emperor Taizu said that this world should belong to the Nangong family, and let the descendants of later generations return the world to the Nangong family, the first emperors of the past dynasties tried every means not to let the Nangong family have men, but they have been men for generations, and finally Nangong Yuzhu is a woman, and the father gave me the idea to let her be the queen and not let her have any more children, however, the queen is a beautiful person, how can I hold it? The first child was a daughter, and I felt that the Nangong family did not have that blessing, but the second child gave birth to a boy, and Nangong Zhan actually put a close hand on Xu Lin to protect it. If I want to get rid of him, I can only use some other methods, but I didn't expect that this Xu Lin played a trick for me! Who taught? Xu Yeqing was taught by the Northeast Army, who taught Xu Lin? ”
The last sentence, the emperor roared out, this is what he said in his heart, Concubine Mi is the person he trusts the most, the mother of the eldest prince, and his wife, if there is no Nangong Yuting, Concubine Mi is the queen.
The emperor can't imagine that the prince is actually the kind he imagined, and the current prince is a crossing man, what can he do?
Concubine Mi Guifei is not a bad person, she picked up a bowl of medicine sent in by the little eunuch, sat in front of the emperor's head, scooped up a spoonful with a silver spoon, drank it herself, listened for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks, you, you think wrong, but the concubine is stupid, and I don't know what's wrong, but ah, you don't have ten layers of certainty, but you can't disband the Northeast Army, Aotian traveled in the north, wrote a letter to you, the concubine read it first, saying that the northern Hu people saw that there was a war in the west of Wuyang, and they were ready to move, Only the Northeast Army under the control of the Nangong family can stop it. ”
The Emperor let out a long sigh and said, "What an eventful season! Why can't you leave them? However, it should still be used, just right, let the northern Hu people consume the soldiers of the Northeast Army, and I, I will not give them a single salary and no food. ”
Concubine Mi didn't dare to say anything, and the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics.
The emperor asked: "Xu Yeqing is a terrible person, today's incident was done by this bad girl, they have already understood what I mean, and they have begun to fight with me!" ”
The emperor's face was gloomy, and Concubine Mi had never seen the emperor so angry.
But the emperor was still smart, and said: "First solve the matter of Zhou Yun killing one hundred and seventy-five people in the prince's East Palace, let Liu Gongjin stop kneeling, solve this matter, and always give an explanation to the world!" ”
——
Xu Yeqing took An Ji out of the palace, and the two rode on horseback and left the capital.
On the way, An Ji said: "Why do you think that leaving the capital is like running away?" ”
Xu Yeqing waved his horsewhip and said: "If you cause such a big incident, of course you have to escape, the king is like a tiger, my father is not a fuel-efficient lamp, listen to my mother, he is also a bloody battle when he becomes the emperor...... Alas, now the world of Wuyang, the ghost side in the west, and the Hu tribe in the north are really turbulent. ”
An Xi asked, "Such a father, such an emperor, if it were in my family, the son would have killed his father." ”
Xu Yeqing said: "We can't do it here, first, my mother loves my father, and love blinds him; Second, there are parents in the world, and we can't kill our fathers no matter what. Third, the Nangong family has great energy, if our family and our father are not in harmony, the people of Wuyang will have no way to live. So, I can only protect my brother in my own way, and then take one step at a time. ”
An Ji said: "The emperor's family, it's really troublesome. Where are you going? ”
Xu Yeqing said: "To protect my brother from death, since I knew that my father wanted my brother to die, my mother washed her face with tears every night, and she had to bear it hard, what the fuck, I have to protect him." ”
An Ji smiled: "I've seen that child, it's very interesting, he raised a husband, it's very leathery, and he can't die, rest assured, but he should miss his relatives a lot, it's good for you to go and see." ”
Xu Yeqing was surprised and said, "Have you seen Xu Lin?" ”
"It should be him, the entire Shuofang City, just listen to him alone, ten years old, looks very similar to you, it should be your younger brother." As he spoke, An Ji grabbed the reins and said, "I just came back from there, so I won't go with you, I'm going to the southeast." They parted ways. ”
Xu Yeqing is not a turtle hairer, he clasped his hands into fists and said: "Sister, the mountain is high and the road is far away, get off the horse and ask about the future, take care of your body." ”
An Xi rode away and said: "Don't be a sister, the next time we meet, maybe we will draw our swords and face each other, otherwise, with the wisdom of your father, make a fuss about this matter, your Nangong family, I'm afraid you will lose the hearts of the people." ”
Xu Yeqing listened inexplicably, but he didn't ask much, and when An Ji walked away, a woman came out of the shadows and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, Dingzhou County has been hit by a disaster." ”
Xu Yeqing asked, "What's wrong?" What is it? ”
The woman said: "After days of heavy rain, the embankment has burst, three million people have been displaced, and the county order has led people to govern, but it can't be blocked at all." ”
"Three million people? Heaven and earth are unkind! Xu Yeqing frowned and said: "I've been to Dingzhou County, and the embankment over there is very strong, what kind of water can collapse over there?" Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? ”
While speaking, Xu Yeqing put his eyes on the direction of An Xi's departure, and said, "Let's go, go to Dingzhou!" ”
"Shall we not go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Xu Yeqing said: "Dingzhou is near the southwest region, it was originally a country, it was the emperor's grandfather who incorporated them into the territory of Wuyang, the geographical location is very important, according to Xu Lin's situation, it is difficult for the ghost people to kill him, but if the people of Dingzhou are lost, the entire southwest region will be chaotic, the ideal of the Nangong family is not to be the lord of a country, the ideal of the Nangong family is to have a big world without military disasters, if the Wuyang Dynasty is in chaos, then the ancestors of the Nangong family will have to come alive, let's go!" ”
There is a saying in agriculture that "the wind does not end, the rainstorm does not end", the water is often after the rainstorm, the reason why Xu Yeqing went to Dingzhou County is precisely because of this reason, when the rainstorm fell, Dingzhou County burst the embankment, if the rain stopped, the water from the mountains and ravines upstream flowed to the entire Dingzhou County, that is not three million people affected, that is 30 million people, who knows how many anti-people 30 million people can come out?
This Wuyang world seems to really fall into the world of the Nangong family, Nangong Yuting has begun to have a small force contact with the Hu people in the north in the Northeast Army, Xu Yeqing is busy going to Dingzhou County, Jiulong Road, in the southwest hinterland to rescue disasters, whether it is arrogant or Xu Lin......
