Xiao Mo died and died not so glorious, his head was screwed off by Dian Wei, handed over to the palace eunuchs to pickle, and finally put it in a wooden box, and was sent to the north by fast horses.

The body was then dragged by the eunuch to the south of the East Palace, where there was a corner where there was a special refining furnace to burn some palace maids, eunuchs, and guards who died in vain in the palace.

The body of the once dignified master of the religion was carried by the miscellaneous servants at will, took off the brocade robe on his body, threw it into the furnace naked, and finally calcined it out, leaving only a white bone, which was then smashed and poured into a wooden barrel, and then pulled to a mass grave outside the city, dug a pit and buried.

When this process was going on, Su Chen came out of the front palace, went straight through the middle palace, and came to the reflection hall on the right side of the harem.

When they saw the emperor coming, they walked to the side and waited on their knees respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid and others have already been examined, and Meng Zhaoyi only has some skin injuries, and there are no traces of being violated."

This is the rule of the palace, all the concubines who have gone out, even if the emperor does not give an order, there will be old palace maids, or grandmothers who go over to check with their duties.

In the future generations, it is unacceptable to women and undignified. But at this moment, the world, especially the emperor's concubines, did not feel inappropriate, after all, this was an opportunity to show the emperor his loyalty and chastity.

Su Chen didn't blame them, what was the duty, he just waved his hand to let these old palace maids leave, and went straight to the west wing of the Reflection Palace.

Xu Chu waved away the eunuchs here, leaving only one palace maid, Xiaohe, behind, and the armor soldiers he brought quickly guarded the vicinity.

Chirping!

The door was pushed open, and when Su Chen entered the inner room, Meng Yuyin changed into a light blue waist toe-in skirt, her top was embroidered with water hibiscus, her open sleeves were slightly propped up, and she sat on the edge of the bed and wiped the tears on her cheeks.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing Su Chen come in and close the door, Meng Yuyin hurriedly got up and bowed his head.

"Those grandmothers checked your body just now, and you felt wronged? If you are wronged, I will make an exception for you in the future. Su Chen lifted her up, after all, she had just experienced life and death, and it was normal for a woman of this age to be afraid, and when she came back, she was like a thief, and she would definitely feel uncomfortable when she checked her body.

"Your Majesty, although the concubine is uncomfortable, can she ...... You can't break the rules. ”

Meng Yuyin is a princess of the Yue Kingdom, who grew up in the palace, so she naturally understands the rules in the palace and cannot easily make an exception. Immediately, she sniffed and squeezed out a small smile.

"Your Majesty relaxes, the concubines will not be so easy to seek death and life."

"You're relieved in turn."

Su Chen moved a stool and sat aside, watching the girl sitting on the edge of the bed tell him what happened after he was taken away, probably wanting to prove his innocence.

"Let's not talk about that day, Qin Hui and Wang Lang have already reported to me." Su Chen patted the woman's hand, this sentence made Meng Yuyin's eyes flush wet red again, and she was quite moved in her heart, understanding that this was the emperor who didn't want her to recall that frightening scene again.

"Your Majesty, the concubine ......"

As he spoke, he was about to kneel down again, but Su Chen held his hands and pressed back to the edge of the bed and sat down, "Tell me about some things about going back to my mother's house." ”

When it comes to her mother's family, Meng Yuyin pursed her red lips, looking quite hesitant, her brother Meng Zhuowen just died, and the rest of the brothers began to take the heir, such a family ugliness felt a little ashamed to say it in front of her husband.

“…… After going back, the concubines visited their fathers and mothers, although they were sad, but they were still in good health, and the concubines also went to the grave of their brother to worship, and many relatives left. ”

As she spoke, the girl's nature was gradually revealed, and when she mentioned the night when she first arrived, she had to admire the scene of Situ Wang Lang's tongue battle with Confucianism.

"I didn't expect Wang Situ to look complacent on weekdays, but when it came to a critical time, he could be so fearless in danger and say a group of courtiers speechless."

But in the end, Meng Yuyin's face gradually darkened, her mother's family was not angry, especially the five brothers' style made people feel cold, if it was just to behave in front of her father, it was reasonable, however, not long after she left Yueguo, she heard that the third emperor brother led troops to fight with the fourth emperor brother.

And the other three brothers were not idle, they still attacked each other, and the Yue Kingdom was a miasma from the court to the local counties.

"Didn't your father care?"

Su Chen naturally knew everything about Yue Guo, but when he heard it from Meng Yuyin's mouth, he had a different feeling.

"I don't know, the concubine's father is capable, but I don't know why he let his brothers go on like this."

Speaking of this, Meng Yuyin suddenly raised her face, looked at her husband in front of her, and grabbed Su Chen's hand in her palm and rubbed it, "Your Majesty, what do you want the concubine to ...... I want to ask you for one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Can you persuade the father of the concubine and the five royal brothers."

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not good. Su Chen finally waited for this sentence, according to the arrangement of Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu, he did so many things step by step, first, to make the Vietnamese civil unrest, so that the army could stabilize the Wu State; Second, without having to fight, use stratagem to encroach on the Yue country little by little.

Now, Meng Yuyin can finally take the initiative to speak.

Although it is also possible to take a tough attitude or forge a letter from Meng Yuyin, it is different to let the other party intervene sincerely.

"I am the emperor of the Xia Kingdom, and I am an in-law with the Yue Kingdom, so I rashly meddled in the affairs of the Yue Kingdom, or the position of the crown prince, which is really too sensitive, and it is easy for people to think that I have bad intentions towards the Yue Kingdom."

Su Chen has been nurtured by the emperors behind him over the years, and the emperor's set has naturally learned everything, he looked at the girl in front of him with sincere eyes, and his words were also said calmly, this kind of behavior not only did not make Meng Yuyin hesitate, but trusted the husband in front of him even more.

She in turn clasped Su Chen's hand.

"Your Majesty, the concubine knows what you're worried about, but the concubine doesn't want to see the family and country being shattered by the royal brothers.

At this, her voice choked and sobbed slightly.

This is simply a representation of the girl's love for her home and country. Su Chen was silent for a moment, and patted her lightly on the back of her hand: "You love Yue Guo, I saw it, you first write a letter to Yue Guo and persuade your father, as for the rest of the matter, wait for me to finish the affairs of Wu Guo first." ”

Su Chen put his arm around the girl's shoulders and leaned her against him, his voice was gentle, and there was indifferent indifference: "Don't worry, Wu Guo will solve it soon, at this time, the two armies of Bingzhou and Yizhou should have crossed the Hunjiang River!" ”

"Really?" The girl raised her face in her husband's arms in some surprise.

"I just received the battle report today."

Su Chen smiled, raised his hand and waved, and the strong wind extinguished the candle on the table, "Rest, I'm here with you." ”

As soon as the lights in the room went out, outside this bedroom, the shadows of the emperor scattered uninterestingly, Cao Cao touched his chin and beard in wonder, and floated away with Li Shimin and Zhao Kuangyin.

"What candles to extinguish, immortality is really outward."

"Who says it's not. Changsheng doesn't treat us as his own! Zhao Kuangyin sighed, "But speaking of which, Lao Zhu doesn't go to the palace with us at night, and I always feel that something is missing." ”

"Now of course, people are living a fairy life with their old wives in their arms, who is like the three of us, like lonely souls and wild ghosts, wandering in the palace."

No matter how eloquent Li Shimin is, looking at the secluded deep palace back garden, he also feels a little lonely.

"Oh, by the way, last time I found a well in the southwest corner, and there lived in the well a concubine who didn't know which dynasty the emperor of Wei lived in, and she looked good!" Zhao Kuangyin ignored Li Shimin's sentimentality.

Over there, Cao Cao's face was straight, and his brows were tightly locked: "If you are so beautiful, if you throw yourself into the well, you will inevitably bear a great grievance. ”

Li Shimin, who was sentimental, quickly became serious and serious.

"I have the same intention!"

"Please!" Cao Cao stretched out his hand!

After Li Shimin made a gesture of please, he immediately bowed his hand to Zhao Kuangyin on the right: "Brother Zhao, lead the way ahead!" ”

The three former emperors suddenly turned into a yin wind and disappeared into the courtyard.

……

On the Huai River south of Gyeongju.

The sound of war has begun to shake the long stretch of the river.

One after another warships fired horizontally on the river, rowing across the turbulent river, crashing into the ships of Wu on the opposite side, throwing hooks and soft ladders, and climbing up with knives.

On the surface of the river, which stretched for more than ten miles, black smoke swept through the sky like a dragon, and the warships fluttering the flag of the Xia Kingdom began to break through the blocking defense line of the Wu State.

A large number of Yizhou soldiers skillfully operated the boats on the river for the final encirclement, and on the coast, two thousand heavy armored soldiers of the Tiger Infantry Battalion, as well as the trapped camp of the Bingzhou army, quickly rushed out of the cabin and fiercely slaughtered into the Wu array on the shore.

Periphery, countless Wu soldiers on the shore are rushing over to support.

The offensive and defensive battles on the shore were instantly raised to the point of blazing, and under the light of the sky, the soldiers of the trapped camp and the soldiers of the Hubu battalion armed with swords, shields and spears, under the leadership of the generals with leopard heads and eyes, slaughtered into the crowd like tigers, and on the front line within a radius of two miles, there were hysterical fighting shouts, and the battle group quickly spread.

At the ferry port in Linzhou, eight sea ships finally raised their white sails today, Zhou Yu was dressed in silver armor and white robes, drew his sword at his waist, stood on the ship's tower, looking at the rising sun on the sea level, he slowly raised the blade of the sword, reflecting the golden morning sun.

"Ready—"

Flags were waved and war drums were beaten.

Zhou Yu stood on the ship's floor, and at the same time that the order fell, on another sea boat next to him, Gan Ning shook the bell on his waist, pulled the mast, stood at the highest place, and shouted: "The governor has an order, pull the anchor and set sail, and go south to Wu Kingdom!" ”

Eight sea-going ships, carrying 8,000 soldiers, sailed away from the ferry, and in the neighing sound of seabirds flying around, on the sparkling sea, they all turned their directions and went along the coastline to Wu Guoshengkang in the south!
