"Princess! Princess! ”

It wasn't until he heard Yang Zaien's voice calling for himself with a little trepidation ringing in his ears that Su Yufang was shocked to find that his face was slightly clammy and cold.

She turned her face, raised her hand to wipe the wet marks on her face, stood still for a moment, and replied, "I'll go see Aya." ”

The continuous sleepless anxious guard, finally made the emperor unable to support it, and after taking the medicine, he fell asleep.

Su Yu sat in front of the couch, put his hand under the quilt, and kept holding the emperor's cold hand for a long time. She stared at the old father's eyes closed on the couch, and never felt his extraordinary old age so strongly as at this moment. Like a withered old tree with sparse branches and leaves, it was struck by a devastating lightning strike.

Even if I knew that "neither will I come", birth, old age, sickness and death are the common destiny of the world's spiritual life, and no one can escape from the emperor's heroic appearance or the pawn of the peddler. However, in the face of such an emperor, when it appeared in front of him that he was obviously blind, but he was still furiously raising his sword to kill, just to determine that Pei Langjun had failed his daughter, her eyes were still slightly hot again.

The emperor was not a good man, his hands were stained with blood, and perhaps, he owed a lot of people.

However, he was her father after all.

She accompanied her silently for a while, got up and walked out, and whispered to the old palace eunuch who looked equally haggard, or who had not closed her eyes for several days and nights: "Zhao Bandang, you insist that I take the carriage, do you want me to rush back shorter?" Thank you very much. Go and rest, too, and don't tire yourself out. ”

The old palace eunuch's eyes were moist.

"Old slaves are useless. Nothing else, nothing can be done. ”

"Zhao Ban has done his best, and he has helped me a lot." She said with heartfelt gratitude.

She couldn't imagine what would have happened if she had been one step further under the hands of an emperor who had lost his mind in a rage.

She could feel that at that moment, the emperor's killing intent was like water bursting the embankment.

If it hadn't hurt her by mistake, I'm afraid even she wouldn't have been able to stop.

"The princess should also go and rest, she is injured, and she is still ......"

Zhao Zhongfang glanced at her lower abdomen, her expression was complicated, and she was deeply worried that she didn't dare to speak.

Su Yu followed his gaze and looked down at his lower abdomen, and smiled slightly: "I've slept enough, it's okay." ”

Zhao Zhongfang looked at her for a moment, as if he had an understanding, and finally, he sighed lowly, and then said in a voice like a whisper: "The horse is temporarily in the secret prison of Yuan Value. The old slave is a bit old with him, and he can say a few words. The horse's hand wound has been healed, and it can't be compared with the outside, but at worst, I don't think it will suffer too much......"

Su Yu was silent for a moment, and then said, "Zhao Bandang, you are the closest." Tell me all about the meeting between Aya and the colt. ”

"A word, a word, don't fall behind."

Zhao Zhongfang did not hesitate, answered, led the rain to the pavilion, closed the door, and explained the whole process. When he finished speaking, he closed his mouth and looked gloomy. As for who is right and who is wrong, there is no comment in half a sentence.

"Zhao Bandang, where is King Ning? I'm going to see him. ”

After a long time, Su Yu suddenly said.

Chapter 133

In the middle of the night, several strong palace eunuchs carried a warm chariot through the endless palaces and palaces to the Taimiao.

King Ning is still in a side hall for the royal family to worship for daily worship, burning incense to worship and pray sincerely, praying for the ancestors to appear and protect them to tide over the difficulties as soon as possible. Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, turned his head, and saw a figure in a cloak standing outside the hall, recognized the person, and hurried up to greet him.

Su Yu called the emperor's uncle and saluted.

In just one or two days, Lao Wang, who had always been leisurely, looked haggard and embarrassed at the moment.

"The princess is awake? How's the injury? How did you come here so late at night? ”

King Ning looked at it, and saw that in addition to her pale face and a little lack of blood, her spirit seemed to be almost the same as before, and she finally showed a little joy.

Su Yu nodded with a smile, explained a few words, entered, and worshiped the gods in the hall one by one, and finally inserted the incense into the furnace.

King Ning was waiting for her to finish worshipping, worried that her body would not be able to bear it, and was about to personally send her out of the temple, when he heard her say: "Uncle Huang, you should know the truth of the Battle of Beiyuan back then. ”

King Ning was stunned.

Su Yu continued: "The horse broke into the forbidden palace at night, and Aya said in front of the horse that he was the ...... of the master."

She suppressed a burst of irrepressible sadness welling up in her heart, paused, calmed down, and continued: "To be honest, at first, when I knew about the events of the year, I didn't believe that Aya would do such a thing, without him, with my intuition that I am Aya's daughter, although he is fierce and ruthless, he has his own moderation, and he shouldn't be that kind of person. Later, more and more signs and testimonies pointed to my Aya, Mo said the horse, and I began to be suspicious. However, after the eve of the previous year, I had a different feeling. ”

"I asked Zhao Bandang to tell me about the meeting between Aya and the horse at that time, and everything they said. I always felt that Aya seemed to be hiding something else. ”

"Aya's temperament, Uncle Huang, you know, what he refuses to say, no matter how much he asks, he won't talk about it. He had been vague in front of me and had never said anything more. Now that he has recognized it, I will ask him again, even if there is really something else hidden in it, he will definitely not change his words. ”

"Uncle Huang, you are Aya's trusted brother, when he was still the king of Ding, you requisitioned grain and grass for him, you are Ayah's most solid backing, and also his right-hand man, you should know the inside story."

"I know that my Aya is inseparable from the death of the Divine Tiger General, but what else is he hiding? Who the hell is he defending? ”

King Ning frowned slightly, his expression was distressed, and his eyes dodged: "It's really not early, the princess's health is important, let's go, uncle will send you back to the palace-"

He spoke, turned and hurried out.

Su Yu caught up, and in the corridor outside the hall, his knees fell to the ground, and he knelt directly on the cold ground.

"Uncle Huang! You must know! Please tell me! ”

King Ning looked back and hurriedly came back to help her up, "Princess, get up!" It's cold and wet on the ground, watch out for your body! ”

"Uncle Huang, this matter is extremely important to me, I beg you!" It doesn't rain.

King Ning met her slightly watery eyes, and finally, let out a long sigh.

"That's it, you get up."

He helped Su Yu to get up, muttered for a moment, and finally said slowly: "It was the last year of the Jingsheng Dynasty, and the turmoil caused by the rebellion was coming to an end. As soon as the war eased, it was inevitable that the battle for the throne would become a new battlefield. ”

At that time, Prince Jingsheng had escorted the old sage back to Chang'an in advance, and the sage was still recovering the lost territory in the Hedong area, and the battle was smooth, defeating the rebels, recovering Taiyuan Mansion, and driving all the rebels out of Hedong in one go. Taiyuan Mansion is the northern capital, the significance of this battle is self-evident, and the prestige of the saint has reached an unprecedented level. Subsequently, the sage got a secret report, the old sage was seriously ill at that time, unable to be independent, Prince Jingsheng was afraid that the sage's return to Beijing would be unfavorable to him, and he was worried that the sage would take the opportunity to run Hedong, in case it became more and more big, so he sent his people to lead the Hedong Jiedu envoy, and then named the saint as the king of Lulong, as the envoy of the Andong Jiedu, and ordered to immediately send troops to continue to exterminate the foreign enemies who had participated in the previous rebellion. ”

"The land of Andong has been bitter cold for many years, and it was the end of October, and it was about to enter a harsh winter. Not giving warm clothes, not mentioning half a sentence of food and grass, going to war is tantamount to asking for a dead end. Previously, there had been a tragedy in which the 5,000 expeditionary force encountered a snowstorm and froze into an iceman overnight. ”

"What the prince is planning, how can the saint not know. He has a confidant under his command, and he has been talking about it before, hoping that the saint will take the opportunity to ascend to the throne, otherwise, with the prince's mind, if he is allowed to ascend the throne smoothly, in the future, from the saint to the command, I am afraid that he will not die well. Previously, the sage was hesitant, but after receiving the news, he knew that there was no way out, so he immediately decided to lead the troops to Chang'an on the pretext of visiting the old sage, and Liu Ceye recommended himself to go to the vicinity of Beiyuan and tried to restrain Pei Gu. ”

"Prince Jingsheng naturally won't sit still, so he urgently summoned General Pei back to Beijing. He was also worried that General Pei Da would have a long way to go and the speed of the march could not catch up with the saint, so in order to prevent the saint from returning to Beijing, he fornicated with the rebels who had been driven out of Hedong before, and promised that as long as the saint was removed, Hedong could be sealed again. The rebels were familiar with the terrain and summoned the remnants to set up an ambush, but the saint was unaware for a while, was ambushed, and was poisoned with arrows. Then, despite the fact that his body had not yet healed, he continued to hurry, but unexpectedly, the remaining poison was not cleared, and he traveled to the Jinzhou area, where he fell into a coma and was forced to temporarily settle down in the Chen Wangfu to recuperate. ”

That same night, a messenger sent by Liu Ceye from Yuanju arrived, who was Wei Juren's father. He brought bad news from Liu Ceye, saying that Pei Gu had led his troops back to Chang'an. In addition, it also brings a way to prevent the return to the court. According to his words, with his understanding of Pei Gu, he must be foolproof. However, before he could do so, he had to seek the consent of the saints. ”

"The saint is unconscious, time is pressing, and he can't wait any longer. There were a dozen or so people accompanying the saint, led by Han Kerang, who was a general of Wuwei at the time. The second is Lu Jingchen and Lu Jinghu's brothers, both of whom are from famous families. In addition, there are eight or nine people, all of whom are loyal and brave generals who have followed the saints all the way. At that time, it was Lu Jingchen who took the lead in speaking out, thinking that it was feasible, doing big things, and not being informal, and he could only act like this. Otherwise, if Pei Gu is asked to lead the troops back to Beijing smoothly, with his prestige and combat power, it is really difficult to predict who will die at that time. ”

He spoke, and the rest of the people agreed, but they all knew in their hearts that this matter was not trivial, and Wei Juren's father kept urging outside, and he was in a hurry. Among these people, Han Kerang was already in the highest position, and he didn't say anything, so he forced him to speak. Han Kerang made the final decision-"

"That's it, Lu Jingchen replied to the messenger, and Father Wei left quickly."

"It was three days after you Aya woke up, and when he learned of this and hated it, he ordered his horse to chase after him, and to take the messenger back, and the people around him persuaded him to do it as a last resort, and begged the saint to accept it, but no one immediately carried out the order. He was furious, and regardless of his injuries, he pushed everyone away and went out to summon people, but when he got out of the house, he ......"

King Ning suddenly stopped, and Su Yu, who had been listening silently, looked at him.

King Ning's gaze fell on the vague shadows of the towers of the majestic hall under the night in front of him, and he was silent for a moment, and then spoke again, his voice astringent.

When the saint came out, he saw dozens of people kneeling in the courtyard, and everyone was in unison, begging him to make a decision. And when thy Ayah was wrath, one of the last of the hundred chiefs drew his sword and was the first to kill himself. Then, the halberd chief nearby, and then the captain of the school, Si Ge—"

"They followed the saint to fight with their lives, but the prince sat back and enjoyed his success, who would be willing to ask them to hand over everything like this, even their lives. Knowing the temperament of the saints, waking up and knowing, or unwilling to do the thing of leading the enemy to attack the city, it has been agreed, and people who are willing to stand up will be admonished to death, so as to ensure that their children and grandchildren are high-ranking officials and have no worries. ”

Su Yu was shocked and moved.

King Ning slowly turned to her, his eyes showing fear, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Princess, can you imagine such a scene? Starting from the lowest level of Baichang, from the bottom to the top, one by one, he drew his sword one after another, and resolutely killed himself, asking for a word of resignation with death......"

"Uncle Huang was not at the scene, but the scene was tragic at that time, which can be imagined. Those are all your Aye's cronies, who fight on weekdays, and they are all good soldiers and brave generals who rush to the forefront with him and drink blood, so they take turns cutting their necks one by one, opening their eyes, and falling in front of him......"

King Ning's voice stopped.

Su Yu only felt the stuffiness rolling in his chest, and his snort seemed to smell a burst of disgusting blood, and he was about to vomit again.

"I'm Aye succumbing."

She held on to a golden silk nanmu pillar nearby and said.

"Yes. When they killed themselves to the tenth man, you Aya gave in. ”

"Now that the colt thinks that His Majesty is wrong, is the colt wrong? That's right. Did Your Majesty do the right thing? Wrong. But what could he do at that time? ”

King Ning's voice was full of silence.

"The battle with the prince is already an arrow on a crossbow, you are dead or alive, where is there any way out? What should be done was done, what should not be done, and what was done. Pei Gu has repeatedly rejected your Aya before, and he is unwilling to surrender, which has become a stumbling block, and has become the mortal enemy of everyone on your Aye's side. If you Aye don't want to, he can only be abandoned. ”

In addition to the people involved, even the owner of the house, King Chen, was excluded, and no one mentioned it again. Pei Ji and I had occasional correspondence later, and he once inquired about me, but I said I didn't know, so he didn't ask again. But I suspect that with his grasp of the situation of the day and his great wisdom, he may have already guessed something inside. ”

Su Yu held on to the cold and piercing thick temple pillars, silent.

"At the Great Shooting Ceremony, this king is the officiating officer. After the horse won the jackpot, after the order, His Majesty had privately summoned me, at that time he was still hesitant, saying that he admired Pei Jiazi very much, but summoned him to Beijing, and after secretly observing nearby, he decided that this son had a hidden backbone, not an easy person to control, and married the princess to him, His Majesty really didn't know whether it was right or wrong, and it was the only thing he did that he was not sure of. At that time, he was also lucky, and hoped that the princess and the colt would ......"

"Uncle Huang!" Su Yu cut him off.

Feng Zhenping received the news of General Pei's request for help, but he did not send troops to rescue him. Is this also the command of my Aya? ”

"It's not!" King Ning said immediately.

"Pei Gu's death was an accident for you, Aye. You, Aye, just allowed Liu Ceye to bind him. In fact, the purpose had been achieved. Pei Gu guarded the city for more than ten days, and in this time, you Aya was enough to reach Chang'an. According to the original plan, at that time, with the support of the nearby army, the siege of the city could be relieved, and after that, even if Pei Gu rushed to Chang'an again, it would be too late, and there would be no obstacle to the overall situation. It was Liu Ceye who knew that you Aya admired Pei Gu very much, and had selfish thoughts, fearing that in the future, if Pei Gu changed his mind and surrendered, he would weaken his power and privately collude with Feng Zhenping to delay the rescue. ”

"No one would have thought that General Pei, in order to defend the land and cover more subordinates, finally made such a choice and led 800 dead soldiers out of the pass. In that incident, he was the only gentleman who truly practiced the style of a countryman, and he cared about the monarchy, regardless of his wealth. Compared to him......"

King Ning paused, thinking that his mood also fluctuated, and after a while, Fang continued: "At that time, you Aya learned the news, I was right next to him, he was extremely shaken, he was silent for a long time, and then shed tears, knelt in the direction of Beiyuan, bowed his head and worshipped, and could not stand for a long time. Or at that time, he made up his mind to get rid of Liu Ceye, but the situation dictated that after ascending the throne, the state affairs were complicated and complicated, and he had to continue to rely on those people. The princess herself knows what is going on. The pony has always been a concern for His Majesty. ”

"Your Majesty is really ashamed of Pei Gu, in my guess, he finally agreed, married you to Pei Erlang, and tolerated him a lot, it should be out of amends. He was supposed to hope that after the collapse of Liu Ceye's party, the matter of Beiyuan would be over, and he would give the horse an explanation, and the horse would stop, and everyone would be safe in the future, but who knew that he would not take a break. ”

"The horse broke into the palace the night before, and he had already decided in his heart that His Majesty was the master's envoy. It is true that it is His Majesty, but he is also a loyal minister and meritorious hero of the Manchu Dynasty of the Qiande Dynasty. If you want to satisfy him, you have to move half of the current court. If you are a princess, what will the princess do? ”

Su Yu looked at the faint shadow of the palace ridge in the Purple Cloud Palace in the distance, turned his eyes to King Ning, and saluted him: "Thank you Uncle Huang for answering my questions tonight." The emperor's uncle is old, so go back to rest first. ”

King Ning didn't leave immediately, and said: "This incident back then not only changed the fate of the Pei family, but also shocked me greatly. Will the world's fame be used? I am afraid that there will be many disasters in the high position. In the end, the glory is just an empty one. Your Majesty has great ambitions, not ordinary people, can endure what the world can't endure, but I no longer have the heart to do things, after Your Majesty ascended the throne, I am bent on retreating. His Majesty did not give up, these years have been muddy, the days are free, and sometimes thinking about the corpse vegetarian meal, it is also very embarrassing. The colt is someone I admire very much, and he is also a master teacher. There has been no news from the master in the past two days, and Zhi'er is also anxious. Your Majesty, it is impossible for me to be allowed to say more. However, if the princess nods here, I will go and explain to the colt what happened back then, so that the colt will not be too troubled and the princess will be affected. ”

Su Yu shook her head slowly: "No need. At this point, what difference does it make if it was me Aya alone or if there is something else hidden? As a result, General Pei Da went because of my Aya, but I Aya, became the emperor because of this, and I am the one who benefited the most. Now you have to explain that it is not only useless to be with the horse, but it is suspected of whitewashing my mistakes for Aya. ”

Her tone was calm.

"Besides, Li Yan has gone to the southwest, Yuwen Shouren will start a rebellion at any time in the name of supporting Li Yan, and the north is even more ready to move, and the court is uneasy on three sides, so let's do it. I Aya confessed in front of the horse the night before, and apart from the pride and negative spirit, he must have other considerations. As he wishes, no one has to come out to talk about it, first calm people's hearts and work together to get through the current level. ”

King Ning looked at her for a moment, and bowed respectfully: "Yes." Do as the princess says. ”

Chapter 134

Or it was too tense, after King Ning went, his body softened slightly, and a dark pain in his injured shoulder hit Su Yu.

She leaned on the temple door nearby, and slowly sat on the knee-high threshold in front of the royal family temple to rest.

Slowly, the cold air like an ice blade penetrated through her clothes and seeped into the skin under her clothes from the sill.

The sill of the temple is cut and chiseled by a whole submerged nanmu, and the sill head is wrapped with a gilded chisel Lianyun seahorse rolling lion pattern of copper clothes, which should be the foundation of the country, immortal for thousands of years, and eternal for ten thousand years. If the official of ceremonies were here, and saw her sitting on it like this, I am afraid that her face would change drastically, and she would be reprimanded as disrespectful.

She subconsciously looked around the place again.
