Chapter Fifty-Eight: The County Lord
"It's a blood bat," Yun Tian took off the strip of cloth that covered his eyes and looked at the man who had lost his breath, and looked up at the emperor calmly: "If you guess correctly, what Lord Meng said should be this thing that was transported into the capital." ”
"This ......" The emperor looked at the guards who had lost their breath and sighed: "I thought it would be no matter what...... At least Yunle will not harm innocent people. ”
"Your Majesty, the rebellion in Yuzhou, Cao Qi's rebellion...... Which rebellion will not harm the people?" Yun Tian said respectfully: "Rebels have never spared any means. ”
"That's it......" The emperor waved his hand: "Go and inform Meng Xiu and An Zhongning that they will do their previous things well, and then ...... Look at some sensitive nobles. ”
"Yes. ”
Meng Xiu was playing chess with An Zhongning when he received the order, and the two looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes after receiving the order.
"Does this mean ......" An Zhongning stopped talking, looking at Meng Xiu, who was silent with his head bowed beside him.
“...... Yes," after a long time, Meng Xiu slowly spoke: "This matter, I want to write to Lin Zaifeng, King Anping must know all this!"
Meng Xiu wrote a letter to Lin Zaifeng and asked someone to rush to Jiangmen quickly, but unfortunately, the messenger was killed as soon as he left the capital...... It was none other than Mo'er, who had been recuperating in the palace.
Mo'er is the last card of the Tingxue County Lord that Meng Xiu has been looking for, and she has always used her medical skills for Lin Zaifeng to stay in the palace. The last order Mo Er received - no matter what, she couldn't let Lin Zaifeng know the day when Ting Xue Jun took the initiative, and the person who told her that Meng Xiu wrote the letter was Jin Chen, who she hadn't seen for a long time.
"Who the hell are you?" Mo'er frowned when she saw Jin Chen: "Even if it's the prince and Meng Xiu, they don't know my identity. ”
"I don't belong to anyone," Jin Chen smiled, he had long lost the vigor he had when he first came to the palace, and the tiredness on his face was even unrecognizable: "Miss Mo'er, now I am only loyal to myself. ”
"I know," Mo'er didn't completely know what Jin Chen had experienced: "Although I know that we are using each other, I still thank you." ”
When the county lord of Tingxue, together with the fugitive Cao Qi, the wandering Xu Xiangtong, and the Xingbu Shangshu and the Rite Squire who were arranged in the court early in the morning, planned the final rebellion, Lin Zaifeng was still busy with the sudden war in the Jiangmen area.
He was full of thoughts that after the end of the war, he would take Su Zili to Nanxi to see the county lord Tingxue, and then the two would get married in the capital......
But there is no longer a chance......
Jiang Dongqing was controlled by Lu Lizhi and An Zhongning in Anfu early in the morning, although Jiang Dongqing was so angry that he scolded his mother and ordered Lu Lizhi with his official position, but the two were unmoved; Meng Xiu found out that Pan Yu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was suspected of stealing files and privately connecting with the party, and Meng Xiu secretly put him in prison.
"It's finally this day," the emperor and Yun Tian had been staying in the Guanglin Palace, he looked at the cuckoo on the table that had already withered and sighed: "This was planted by Yu'er herself, and after she left, it withered quickly." ”
"The emperor mourns," Yun Tian silently accompanied the emperor, he looked at the gradually weakened emperor, and was a little sad...... He realized that maybe he didn't know him well enough.
It snowed heavily that day, and Yun Tian, who was abandoned by the palace to Nanxi, was adopted by a small teahouse, and the owner of the teahouse was a happy young talent. He taught Yun Tian a lot of knowledge, but he was killed because of a personal vendetta...... Later, Yun Tian learned that Na Xiucai was not an ordinary person, but someone sent by the emperor to silently monitor Nanxi.
Later, Yun Tian recommended himself and helped the emperor get rid of the person who killed Xiucai - the person who escaped from the Wu clan, an old patriarch. That person is also the last member of Jin Chen's clan.
"It's begun," the emperor interrupted Yun Tian's recollection, and he kept counting the time.
The county lord of Tingxue, together with Cao Qi and Xu Xiangtong, led his troops into Hegang, which was not far from the capital, and was besieged by Nie Xiuhe and Tong Simiao, who had been ambushed in the morning, with 200,000 soldiers and horses who should have been stationed in Yuzhou; And the blood bats they transported into the capital early in the morning to divert the emperor's attention had already been detained by Feng Yuzhan and others.
Meng Xiu and An Zhongning pretended to be Pan Yu and Jiang Dongqing to signal that they were safe in the city, and the county lord Tingxue, who thought he was infallible, did not know that he had already fallen into the trap of an old fox like the emperor.
In the end, Cao Qi and Xu Xiangtong were killed on the spot, and the county lord Tingxue was escorted into the palace.
Jiang Dongqing and Pan Yu were so frightened that they cleared up the county lord's crimes in front of the emperor and the county lord...... The county lord of Tingxue was as calm as ever, kneeling in the Guanglin Hall without panic.
"Ting Xue ......" The emperor looked at the county lord of Ting Xue and sighed: "What else do you have to say?"
"It's nothing," the county lord of Tingxue smiled indifferently: "Pan Yu'er was arranged by me, Li De'an was killed by me, I sent people to kill the Maonan people before, and Cao Qi's rebellion was ordered by me...... Oh, and ...... The rebellion of the Zeng Yi people is also related to me. ”
"Ting Xue, why are you so frustrated?" The emperor was so angry with the indifferent Ting Xue County Lord, he looked at the girl in front of him, even more strange than he imagined.
"Because I hate you," Lord Tingxue smiled, "You indirectly killed my father and you forced my mother to death...... I hate you, you ruined everything for me, I want you to die!...... Tingxue ......"
The county lord of Ting Xue suddenly burst out laughing, and she looked at the emperor angrily: "Ting Xue...... Just like this title, the waterfront on the side of the road is easy to disappear into the snow...... You must want my brother and I to disappear like our parents, right?"
"Yunle," after a long time, the emperor slowly spoke: "Tinglan Palace is the palace where King Chu Baohe lived when he was young. At that time, our mother was pregnant with Jinghe when she was indifferent to the first emperor, and at that time, the imperial doctor guessed that my mother was a little princess in her womb......"
When thinking of the past, an imperceptible smile appeared on the emperor's face: "Mother said, 'Princess, if you are a princess, your nickname will be Xue'er'; But at that time, the first emperor did not like it, and even when his mother was pregnant, he never visited. Because, he has just obtained Jing Guiren, his mother's original maidservant, and that Jing Niangniang has humiliated his mother with grace since she was favored......"
The unfavored queen, who has a weak temperament, was actually pushed into the lotus pond by a noble person during pregnancy for fun......
The emperor got up slowly: "Kejing and Fu have a great life, they were born, and they are still a prince." That's where your title comes from. I know that you all think that I am tyrannical and kill innocents for the sake of the throne; But I am the crown prince, and the people I killed were all traitors who did not hesitate to rebel to support King Wurong to ascend to the throne! King Wurong ...... I have always been generous, but he went to the frontier to do mischief and repeatedly provoked wars!"
In a fit of rage, the emperor lifted the things on the table to the ground: "I have never had the intention of killing him...... He actually took his whole family to kill himself after making a mistake! He always thought that it was me who harmed Jinghe! It was me! He thought that it was me who killed their whole family!"
The kneeling body of the county lord of Ting Xue suddenly collapsed...... In fact, she has always known that there was something strange about what happened back then, but after so many years, she has long been numbed by revenge, and she doesn't want to think about it......
"I, I don't want to take the names of 'Anping' and 'Kangli' to make you mediocre," the emperor looked at the county lord Tingxue, and his mind was all like when she was a child: "I, I just feel that I am too tired to fight for my life......"
It's so tiring......
There's so much more to be done......
"Your Majesty ......" Lord Tingxue almost cried, she didn't expect that the whole truth she had been waiting for was so different.
"Your Majesty, Bai Ji of the kilometer asks to see you," Pang Gonggong suddenly came to report.
"When is it, and what else is going on with them?" the emperor looked at Gonggong Pang angrily.
"The emperor forgives the ......" Pang Gonggong hurriedly knelt down: "Yes...... It was Bai Ji who invited the signs of the four major clans to ask for a meeting. ”
"What!" the emperor said in surprise: "Come in!"
The four major clans are the most noble existences since the early cold country - Nangong, Lin, Zhuyi, and Lu, and if the four of them engrave the card at the same time, it will be a real gold medal for avoiding death!
"Your Majesty," Shen Langxi, who hadn't seen him for a long time, appeared in front of several people, presented a sign and knelt in the hall: "Bai Yiyun, the daughter of the people, was ordered by the four clans to ask for an order to avoid death for the lord of Tingxue County. ”
"Why ......" Lord Tingxue looked at Shen Langxi, who had been used by himself but was still willing to fight for his life, in disbelief.
"County Lord," Shen Langxi looked at the County Lord Tingxue quietly, but in his mind was the picture of them getting along day and night when they were young...... In her heart, Lord Tingxue is still the quiet but cute little girl.
"Original...... It's all me alone......" Lord Tingxue laughed self-deprecatingly: "It turns out ...... It's all my ......."
Wishful thinking......
One mistake to the end.
"That's fine...... "The emperor didn't want to kill Lord Tingxue, but her crime was ...... That's fine.
"Forgive me," Lord Tingxue smiled miserably at Shen Langxi, and suddenly shouted while everyone was not paying attention: "Xu Yingke, I'm coming to you!" and then hit his head on the pillar in the hall.
"County Lord!"
"Ting Xue!"
"Yunle!"
For a while, the people in the hall were shocked, blood flowed down the pillar, Shen Langxi crawled in front of the county lord of Tingxue and picked her up and cried: "County lord!
The person in front of him blurred a little, and the county lord Tingxue finally died in Shen Langxi's arms with a smile.
In the last few seconds when she fell to the ground, she wondered: Is the life he bought for her with his life considered to be let down?
