Rebirth: Bringing the System to Find a Husband

Chapter 402 The Death of Wang Hanlu

And Wang Hanlu guarded the northern border, so that the northern nomads would not dare to invade.

Wang Hanlu is not married.

In the second year of No.40, the old emperor died, and the new emperor ascended the throne. Taifu Li became the emperor's tutor.

Wang Hanlu fought on the battlefield, and was wounded all over his body. He died of serious injuries several times.

He is unmarried, has no woman around him, and has no children.

Jingli heard that he had spread the news that he was going to fail several times, and the new emperor's edict was ready and put away again.

Some people can't help but gossip: "Who knows if he's just pretending he can't do it anymore, so he can ask the emperor for a reward when the war is over."

The new emperor was also so angry that he dropped his cup, wondering if he did it on purpose.

Just at this time, the Huns were willing to withdraw their troops to seek peace, and all the civil officials were willing. If the fight continued like this, the treasury would have to be exhausted. cost-effective.

The generals in the court did not agree, saying that they had already fought to such an extent that they only needed to persist for two more months to drive back the Xiongnu and prevent them from invading for ten years.

Wen Chen talked about Wang Hanlu's serious injuries several times.

Civil servants are good at pen and mouth, so how can military generals be their opponents.

After being quarreled for two days, the new emperor decided to accept the Xiongnu envoy's request for peace, but the Xiongnu envoy smacked his nose and said, as long as Wang Hanlu died, the Huns wanted twice as much, and the Xiongnu would submit to Daqing Country, never rebellious.

The new emperor thought about it all night, and issued an edict urging Wang Hanlu to return to Dajing. After all, if he did not return, he would be in the barracks. Even if someone was sent to kill him, no one would kill him. If he committed suicide, others would know that he, the new emperor, forced him to die. I'm afraid there will be more complaints from the people, but he doesn't want to do this. It's better to urge Wang Hanlu to come back.

Wang Hanlu did not come back.

The envoys of the Huns put pressure on the new emperor many times, and the new emperor could only urge Wang Hanlu.

For half a month, twelve imperial edicts were issued, urging him to return.

Wang Hanlu sighed, and said to the lieutenant general: "After I leave, you continue to fight and beat them to Kubei."

The lieutenant agreed.

Wang Hanlu returned to Beijing, alone, feeling extremely disappointed.

In the spring of the second year of No.40, Wang Hanlu was about to arrive in Dajing.

Ten miles away from Dajing, there is a Shilipo there, and there is a Shili shop in Shilipo, and the Shili tea in the Shili shop is very famous.

Today, before the ten-mile store opened, an elegantly dressed old man came here, and soon his attendants took over the store. The owner of the store was dumbfounded when he saw it. People's shop.

The old man said softly: "I'll borrow it for a day and pay you some lost wages. Go home quickly."

After finishing speaking, the attendant took out 50 taels of silver note from his sleeve and gave it to him.

The owner of the shop only earns 32 taels of silver a month, and this is because the people who come and go here are all dignitaries and dignitaries who spend a lot of money.

It's just that no matter how rich he is, he can't compare to this person.

The shopkeeper took the money and left.

The official road in Dajing is always crowded with people.

There are eight official roads in Dajing, and this one should also be the place where people come and go.

However, today, there are two official roads that are empty and no one is allowed to pass through.

One of them is this one.

The attendants who followed the old man had already received the order, and everyone was waiting. The old man had a good temper, so he asked the guards to sit down and wait, because he didn't know how long it would take for them to arrive, and these people said they were guards, but they were actually from the famous families in Beijing , Sitting is also sitting, so they all sat down.

They waited from early morning to noon, the sun was shining brightly, but it was still a little cold in the beginning of spring.

At this time, a woman holding an oil-paper umbrella walked over. She was so beautiful that even the rumored number one beauty in the capital, Concubine De, would be overshadowed by her.

she came over.

The guard stood up and looked at her defensively.

The woman closed her umbrella and walked in.

The old man said gently: "Girl, I don't know where you come from. My small shop is not doing business today."

The woman smiled, moved the guard away with her hand, sat down by herself, took a sip of her own drink, and then said slowly: "Li Xiucai, you don't remember me."

"Bold!" The guard shouted.

Taifu Li waved his hand and said, "Go down."

He looked at Nie Shuangyan: "You are?"

"I came to you to ask for my husband's orb."

"It's not yet time..."

Nie Shuangyan raised his eyebrows and looked at him with interest: "Do you remember what I said then?"

She said at that time: "That's right, if you become a corrupt official and oppress the people, I will take away everything I gave you, and I will take away the orb. If you do a lot for the people, I will wait for your life Take the orb at the end."

He said sadly: "I remember, I only asked the girl if she took the orb, and I lost it..."

Nie Shuangyan nodded.

She is not interested in lying, and people like Zhuang Jinse died after being taken away from that consciousness, not to mention he is a mortal.

"But since I became an official, I have done a lot for the people and never oppressed the people..."

Nie Shuangyan smiled, and said with a little sarcasm: "You, Li Xiucai, have a high position and authority, and your disciples are all over the world. Even if you are not greedy, your disciples are greedy. With your reputation, who would dare to control? Don't say you don't know .”

"They belong to me too?"

"Who told you that you are their teacher, but they are your disciples."

Nie Shuangyan smiled again, and said in a drawn-out voice, "Besides, you're sure you didn't do anything wrong to the people of the world."

"Probably yes..." Taifu Li was not sure, so he could only answer in this way, even so, he said, "Even so, I'm afraid I haven't reached the point of committing such a heinous crime."

"Yes, I know what you've done, but I haven't come to you until today. Do you know why?"

"Because of Wang Hanlu." Taifu Li has become much smarter since he gained the aura of wisdom. He just said, "I have no choice but to die. I am just a knife in the emperor's hand. Wherever he stabs me, I can do nothing but accept my fate."

Nie Shuangyan smiled: "You don't have to tell me these things, you understand in your heart. Let me tell you the truth, if Wang Hanlu dies here today, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and become a generation of traitors." Prime Minister, he was reviled by later generations. But the Daqing Kingdom lost King Hanlu, and the Xiongnu attacked in the next year and broke through the capital. for more than two hundred years."

Everyone heard what she said, but the guards pretended not to hear.

Nie Shuangyan didn't care and only looked at Li Xiucai.

Li Xiucai was silent for a long time when he heard the words, and then he only said: "Look... everything is fate, and there is nothing you can't help."
