At this time, during the war, the unfavorable factors of the Mendi were reduced to the extreme, and as a result of several indirect victories, Li Qiao's reputation rose to prominence, and he seemed to have the posture of becoming the leader of the younger generation of generals in the west.

What is even more rare is that he was not only a strong general, but also a natural politician, who was able to win the hearts and minds of the people, and by taking advantage of the war, he soon became an indispensable and important figure on the western front.

And Wu Cuicui, backed by her husband's might, finally ushered in the long-awaited opportunity.

She began to thoroughly investigate the inside story of her father's death in the first place -- her father and brother were fighting outside, but someone stabbed them in the back, and the mastermind behind the scenes sat on a high place in a dignified place, bowed down by the people of the world.

Li Qiao has no objection to this.

He didn't have any reverence for the so-called emperor.

And Wu Cuicui's revenge for his father and brother is not only one of the starting points of the union between the two sides, but also where the righteousness lies, what does he have to say?

The Wu family is an old clan in this dynasty, and it has a reputation, and the new emperor ascended the throne in a chaotic time after all, and the foundation is still shallow.

However, in the midst of the Son of Heaven's journey, the new emperor was not as uneasy as everyone imagined, but took advantage of the night to quietly come to the main house where the Emperor Taishang lived in Xingyuan.

The chamberlain enters the inner chamber and communicates it.

Emperor Taishang lay on the collapse and opened his eyes slowly: "It's Erlang who is here." ”

The new emperor bowed down to his father's bed, knelt down respectfully, and whispered and quickly told his father about the current situation.

Emperor Taishang's expression was slightly surprised: "I really didn't expect Cui Niang to come this far." ”

The new emperor was a little uneasy: "Father, then you should be ...... now"

"Now, ......"

The Emperor Taishang looked in a trance, and dimly recalled the night of the mutiny.

The noble concubine pear blossom brought rain and looked at him in disbelief.

He calmly looked back at the concubine.

"I have been married to you for many years, how can I bear to kill you?"

"It's just that up to now, the soldiers are particularly complaining, and if they don't find a reason for them to vent out, I'm afraid that something will happen sooner or later."

"Guifei, you and the Chang clan want to share your worries for me."

Soon, angry soldiers appeared in front of Chang Yongnian's horse.

The concubine was immediately given death.

The Chang clan is punished.

The Son of Heaven abdicated and became the emperor, and the former crown prince succeeded to the throne.

The soldiers were happy with the death of the adulterous concubine, and saw the abdication of the emperor who favored the concubine and believed in the Chang clan, and they didn't even think - how could it be so smooth?

Under such a shock, the forbidden army not only did not react, but also turned to the new emperor, betraying the Son of Heaven who had served for many years.

Even if anyone had doubts, they would be quickly dispelled by the new emperor who had ascended the throne.

Having forced his father to abdicate and become the emperor, who would doubt that the new emperor and the emperor were actually on the side?

"How can the Son of Heaven have human feelings?"

The Emperor Taishang shook his head and laughed softly: "Cui Niang, I said it a long time ago, it's a stupid child......"

Chapter 121

With Li Qiao's youthful ambition, the Wu family, which had suffered heavy losses one after another and was almost overthrown, rose strong again, and Mrs. Wu once again became the guest of many high-ranking families, and even the rest of the Wu family also received very much courtesy.

The ninth princess, the daughter of the noble concubine, went against her previous low-key attitude and frequently visited her father in the palace, and even the queen, the head of the inner wife, had to make a statement, and once again became kind to the daughters of the Wu family.

Among them, the most eye-catching is Wu Cuicui.

The previous failed marriage completely polished away the immaturity and coquettishness of a girl in her, and the tragic death of her father and brother made this young lady who had been protected in the ivory tower grow up rapidly.

She walked among the ladies with ease, smiling and greeting them with good manners.

She is the perfect Mrs. Li, the child who made the Wu family proud, it was the Wu family who sheltered her in the past, and now she is sheltering the Wu family.

And Wu Cuicui has not forgotten the great enmity of her father and brother's death for a single minute.

There is no such reason in the world!

When Mrs. Wu saw her daughter grow up, her heart was quite ironed, and the breath that had been blocked in her heart for a long time dissipated, and she fell ill with it.

The middle-aged widow, and at the same time the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, used to be forced to take care of all the affairs in the house, because the children could not hold on, and it is already rare to be able to hold on to it until now.

"Cuicui, don't worry, don't worry."

Mrs. Wu took her daughter's hand and squeezed it vigorously: "I've been waiting for so long, it's not a bit of hard work, and at this critical juncture, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes!" ”

Wu Cuicui responded with a smile, and said with concern: "Ah Niang, didn't the imperial doctor say, let you calm down and recuperate, don't think about these things, your illness is purely tired." ”

Mrs. Wu was lying on the collapse, in good spirits, but her eyes were very tired, and there was almost no blood on her lips.

She shook her head slightly: "My body, I know myself." ”

He urged his daughter softly: "Cuicui, give birth to a child as soon as possible." ”

Wu Cuicui was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and her jade fingers picked up the medicine bowl, and while feeding her mother the medicine, she muttered in a low voice: "I want it too, but I just don't get pregnant, what can I do?" He was busy with military affairs again......"

Mrs. Wu looked at her lovingly and said softly: "Women live in this world, and it is not possible to rely on men, but they can only rely on their own flesh and blood." You are a few years older than Li Qiao, and now he can use the Wu family for the time being, but it's okay, but it's just a matter of time......"

"In the end, there are still a few children under the knee to rest assured, even if there are really others around him, for the sake of the children, he will always take care of you more."

Her expression was a little gloomy: "Others don't know, can't you still see me?" ”

Wu Cuicui is in a big family, and naturally knows how many middle-aged couples around him are separated from each other, that is, their own father, and there are also many young concubines around him......

She was confused when she heard this, and she didn't want to show it to her mother, so she just smiled as usual, caressed her mother, and said, "I know, I've been taking medicine to regulate my body all this time." ”

Mrs. Wu blinked gently, and rested a little sleepily.

When Li Qiao returned home in the evening, Wu Cuicui inevitably mentioned his mother's illness to him: "I found a few doctors to take a look, and they all said that it was okay and that it would be raised, but I looked at A-Niang's appearance...... It's really not reassuring. ”

Compared with Wu Cuicui's wife, Li Qiao attached more importance to Mrs. Wu's mother-in-law, who was worthy of a great responsibility at this critical moment, and when he heard this, he said: "What the imperial physician of the palace said is not necessarily accurate, who said that there are no good doctors in the people?" ”

He patted the back of his wife's hand: "I let people look for it, and you should pay more attention." ”

Wu Cuicui's brows furrowed slightly, and she leaned on her husband's arms as if she was a little tired, holding his waist in her arms, almost greedily absorbing his temperature.

She likes to talk to her husband about homely things, and she likes the care he shows for herself and her family.

Such a warm and affectionate Li Qiao made her feel familiar and felt that she was a person of flesh and blood, not an imaginary dragon chair and supreme authority.

Although it is a marriage in which each takes what he needs, how can a husband and wife do the most intimate things in the same bed without throbbing?

But the more she throbbed, the more timid Wu Cuicui felt because of this.

After all, the heart is empty.

Li Qiao's palm brushed his wife's long hair and let her hug him tighter, and his expression was unwavering.

……

Now the rebels are in turmoil, the world is in turmoil, all sides are divided, and Li Shu is uneasy.

However, after all, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and after the people of the four seas are in high esteem, after killing the Chang family and the noble concubine, he soon issued an order to all parts of the world to completely clear the remnants of the Chang family, and the Wei princess Chang, as the sister of Chang Yongnian and the noble concubine, is undoubtedly the most important in this list.

The new emperor ascended the throne with the merit of exterminating the traitorous concubines of the courtiers, and this was also the basis of his rule, so the disposal of the princess of Wei should also be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

In the past, it was beyond the reach of the whip and could not do anything, but now it ......

Isn't this a Li Qiao?

Soon, the new emperor issued an edict ordering Li Qiao to lead 3,000 troops to Gyeongju to arrest the sinner Chang.

When Wu Cuicui heard the news, she almost couldn't hold the teacup in her hand - if the Chang family was guilty, now that all the men in his clan had been punished, and the concubine had already died, why bother to do it again?

Not to mention that Princess Wei treated her kindly, how could she sit back and watch Princess Wei be killed!

But it was Li Qiao who was sent to do this, and she was once the daughter-in-law of Princess Wei.

Wu Cuicui was in a dilemma, weighed it again and again, and finally cautiously opened her mouth when Li Qiao returned home: "Princess Wei...... Is it necessary to die? ”

Li Qiao untied the saber at his waist and turned his head to look at her: "Don't you want her to die?" ”

Wu Cuicui cautiously looked at his expression: "At the beginning, Princess Wei was very kind to me, but now she is in danger, and I can't help but say a word......

Li Qiao was a little surprised when he heard this, but he looked up to her very highly, and it was still a bit rare to talk about her character and not to mention whether she was stupid or not.

He truthfully told Wu Cuicui: "The reason why the Son of Heaven sent me to do this is because he knew that this matter would not be done, and he wanted to reduce the righteousness of the King of Wei in the eyes of the people of the world, and by the way, to suppress my arrogance in the army." ”

The rebellion and the fall of the imperial capital are unprecedented since the founding of this dynasty, and the Son of Heaven has stabilized people's hearts with the sacrificial flags of the noble concubines and the Chang clan, which is absolutely politically correct and is also the foundation of the country.

However, the king of Wei is clearly shielding a Chang girl, which at best means that he is a son and daughter, and at worst, he does not know the general situation and has no thoughts of family and country!

If he just wants to be a rich prince, it is fine, but he intends to compete for the world, and if he comes, he will lose his prestige.

But if you really hand over Princess Wei......

The princess who gave birth to a son can't keep it, so are you embarrassed to fight for the world?

For King Wei, to lose this game is nothing more than losing more and losing less.

And for Li Qiao, the same is true.

If you want to come hard, you have to take Princess Wei's head back to restore your life, what is the use of the 3,000 people he brought in front of the army of King Wei?

I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven will not be able to fight with the King of Wei, and in the end he will lose both!

Taking a step back, even if the King of Wei really handed over the princess of Wei to him, and turned around and turned around to be sick and about to die for a long time, the new emperor would put on a look of remorse, and he would be the one who suffered in the end.

And if he returns in vain, it will also be a blow to him who is surging in prestige at this time.

It's just a dead end.

Li Qiao's expression was a little tired, and there was a faint hint of annoyance between his eyebrows, Wu Cuicui could see it, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

After all, her identity in this matter is an embarrassment in itself.

Li Qiao didn't expect her to understand her own worries, but just told her, "I'm fine, let me be quiet." ”

Wu Cuicui shook his hand vigorously, walked lightly, and left the hall.

Li Qiao looked at the lamp that was burning not far away.
