Chapter 199: New sorrow and old hatred of family and country
For many old people who have experienced ten years of chasing deer, there is no doubt that the world is about to break out in chaos today, and the war is mainly concentrated in three places, the northwest, the north, and the south of the Yangtze River.
Among them, the Jiangnan battlefield, Yu Kuang's Jiangnan rear army stuck to the 800-mile Dongting, Xiao Jin Wei army did not attack for a long time, the two fell into a stalemate, the same is true of the battlefield on the first line of the north, Liao Wang Mutang's support of more than 200,000 soldiers under the mountain and sea city, but it was not a long time to attack the city, and Zhao Wouji, who was sticking to the mountain and sea city, did not take the initiative to attack, and the two were deadlocked.
Han Xuan and the others who were trapped in the imperial capital city knew that Xiao Zhinan and the others who were rushing to the imperial capital also knew that Xiao Jin and Mu Tangzhi were waiting, and when the change in the imperial capital had a clear result, in this way, they would be able to take the first line of Jiangnan and Beidi with fewer troops, and even be bloodless.
Only the Northwest Battlefield is completely different from these two places.
There are two reasons, first, no matter what, the Northeast and Wei are both in the Central Plains, and although the grassland was briefly subdued by Xiao Yu, the Emperor of Great Qi Taizu, it is still not my race after all. The second reason is the most important, the grassland is now in the white disaster, which is related to the life and death of the whole clan, so this battle is a battle of life and death, so the battlefield in the northwest is extremely tragic, every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of blood.
After Zhang Wuxian came to the battlefield in person, he finally barely stabilized the situation and held Lin Mian, but the grassland army was not injured and still eyed Lin Mian.
Overall, the war is still under the control of the imperial court, but now the imperial court is no longer under control, at this time there is a news from the imperial court, His Majesty the emperor Xiao Bai has died under the Huanghuang Heavenly Punishment because of his disrespect to the heavens, which has attracted the wrath of the heavens. After the collegial discussion of the ministers, Xiao Li, the king of Yan, served as the regent, and the prime minister had military and political power to train the government. Fu Zhongtian served as the first assistant to the cabinet, the prime minister, and Wei Wuji served as the governor of the capital, and the prime minister of military affairs.
The world was shaken.
After this incident, the long-stalemate between Huzhou and the Beidi line rekindled the flames of war, and the mighty Wei naval army went upriver along the river and began to launch a second attack on the Jiangnan naval division stationed in Dongting, which was stationed in the 800-mile Dongting.
At the same time, the northeastern army on the northern front line also began to attack the city on a large scale after Zao Wou-Ki insisted on refusing to obey the imperial court's order to retreat.
The general trend of the world, which originally seemed to be relaxed, became fierce in an instant, like hot water about to boil.
It was also at this time that the team of Xiao Zhinan and others arrived in Bohai Mansion, Zhili Prefecture.
After the news was returned to the imperial capital, the regent Xiao Li summoned Fu Zhongtian and Wei Wuji, who had become the heads of the civil and military officials, to discuss how to welcome the coffin of Emperor Taizongwen.
It's not so much a discussion, but actually based on Fu Zhongtian's meaning. Xiao Li is from Xiao Shen's lineage, now that Xiao Shen is seriously injured, Xiao Shen is not confident enough, so he naturally does not dare to have too many objections, and Wei Wuji's situation is even more special, he is a "general and a minister", and it is even more difficult to disobey Fu Zhongtian.
Today's Fu Zhongtian can be said to be a person as his name, as the sun is in the sky, the court seems to be respected by the regent of Xiao Li, the king of Yan, but in fact Fu Zhongtian controls the government, just like the great prime minister Xiao Lie in the last years of Dazheng, named Ge Yu, which is actually the regent.
Because of the catastrophe, the Ganquan Palace was seriously damaged, and the Flying Frost Hall was temporarily opened up as a meeting place.
Xiao Li's face was worried, "Xiao Zhinan is coming back, although she is a woman, but logically speaking, she is the real royal family of Yanzong, and the imperial court heirloom is still in her hands, if she is allowed to return to the imperial capital, those civil and military ministers who have just been suppressed by Fu Ge Lao are afraid that there will be another change, I don't know what Fu Ge Lao and Wei Shuai mean?"
Fu Zhongtian said in a calm tone: "Although Xiao Zhinan is a female body, but in terms of strategy, it is better than Xiao Bai, Xiao Xuan said more than once when he was alive that if she was a man, he would make her the prince." Now it seems that Zhang Baisui, Xie Suqing, and Xu Beiyou are all people who support her, and she really can't underestimate Her Royal Highness the princess. β
Xiao Li's gaze turned to Wei Wuji.
Wei Wuji echoed softly: "What Elder Fu Ge said is good. β
Xiao Li leaned back in his chair and asked, "According to the two of you, do you want her to enter the city?"
Wei Wuji was silent.
Fu Zhongtian said unhurriedly: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry, Xiao Zhinan is a woman after all, and there has been no reason for women to inherit the unification since ancient times, but the situation in the imperial capital is unknown now, so according to my meaning, it is better not to let them enter the city for the time being." β
Xiao Li was silent for a moment and asked, "Who will go?"
Fu Zhongtian said: "Zhou Tong, who has recently been appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of War, will personally 'go out' to greet her, and ask Her Royal Highness the princess to rest in the Wanshou Palace outside the city, and the coffin of Emperor Taizongwen will be temporarily stopped in it, after all, there is already a Daxing Emperor in the palace, if there is another Daxing Emperor, wouldn't it be a big chaos?"
Xiao Li thought for a moment and then nodded and said, "What Elder Fu Ge said is very true. β
Then he looked at Wei Wuji and asked, "What does Wei Shuai think?"
Wei Wuji had no joy or sorrow on his face, as if he had nothing to do with himself, but said indifferently: "What Fu Ge Lao said is Lao Cheng's words for the country. β
Xiao Li nodded and said: "Then everything will be done according to what Fu Ge Lao said, and the cabinet will vote to make Xiao Zhinan, the princess of Qiyang, temporarily rest in Wanshou Palace, and then send it to the celebrant for approval, and the king will use the seal." β
Fu Zhongtian got up and said, "That's it." β
Zhili Prefecture, Bohai Province.
Xu Beiyou, who came from Edgeworth, caught up with Xiao Zhinan and others, and the husband and wife reunited again after nearly ten days of separation.
Although Xiao Zhinan had tried his best to cover it up, Xu Beiyou still saw many unusual meanings.
When the husband and wife were alone for a short time, Xu Beiyou reached out and gently stroked his wife's face, and asked softly, "Have you cried?"
X only i{δΈζ£l ηq... ,It's β 'he} are Y is a pirate J version}
Xiao Zhinan hummed lowly, lowered his eyelids, and then the tears in the corners of his eyes couldn't stop.
She only wept, but she didn't cry.
In front of outsiders, she is Her Royal Highness the princess who is calm every time there is a major event, even after hearing the news of Xiao Bai's death, she just said calmly and understood.
But for Xiao Zhinan, who has been very affectionate since he was a child, how important are these three words?
No matter how angry she was at Xiao Bai's insistence before, brother and sister are still brother and sister after all, and the relationship between brother and sister for many years cannot be faked. Especially the father and the queen mother passed away one after another in just half a year, and the brother who loved her the most since she was a child also died, which was a big blow than Xu Beiyou, who had no parents and brothers since he was a child.
Why didn't she want to cry?
However, at this difficult time of state affairs, her parents and brothers left one after another, and she was the only one left in the Xiao royal family, and her father's dying instructions were still in her ears, and the national seal that symbolized the orthodoxy of the country was in her arms, as if the burden of the entire Great Qi was pressed on her weak woman.
What about her?
When she saw her husband, she finally stopped hiding it, and fell into Xu Beiyou's arms with relief, whimpering lowly.
Xu Beiyou reached out and stroked her back without speaking.
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Zhinan's face was full of tears, and he fell into a deep sleep in Xu Beiyou's arms.
Xu Beiyou maintained a motionless posture, looked in the direction of the imperial capital, and said softly: "Zhinan, we will get this revenge back." β
"National hatred and family hatred, new hatred and old hatred will all be returned. β
His eyes were resolute, "No less than the same." β
