I’ll Be the Male Lead’s Sister-in-Law
Chapter 99: War
In the past, there was nothing to do with female family members in the Yuan Dynasty. It happened that the emperor deliberately made it bigger this year, and even the female family members got up early in the morning, which was a waste of tedious etiquette.
Mu Mingtang wore a heavy dress with a sore back. When the greeting ceremony was over, Mu Mingtang immediately found a seat and rested as soon as he could move around freely.
She will believe Xie Xuanchen in the future, she is a pig brain!
Mu Mingtang really has no energy today and deliberately avoided the crowd. Unexpectedly, when she hid so far, someone still chased her with perseverance.
Jiang Mingwei is proud of his recent glory, and after holding back for a year, it seems that he finally has an outlet to vent. For a full year and a half, Jiang Mingwei watched Mu Mingtang's stars holding the moon, showing off his power, Xie Xuanchen spent a lot of money for her, and the emperor and empress followed her everywhere, even Mrs. Jiang always admonished Jiang Mingwei not to fight with Mu Mingtang. Be patient and humble.
Everyone told her that Xie Xuanchen would not live long, and Jiang Mingwei just had to endure it. Jiang Mingwei just endured it like this. In the end, Mu Mingtang still squandered money as he pleased. Jiang Mingwei still swallowed his words, and even Xie Xuanji showed no signs of showing up.
It is said that Xie Xuanchen is going to die, but he just refused to die. He just survived the poisoning, and after six months of martial arts recovery, his body is almost the same as in the heyday.
He made no secret of Mu Mingtang's care, and he wished to declare that Mu Mingtang was his only scale, he would die if he touched it.
Jiang Mingwei felt that the tragedy of the previous life was repeated, and the end of the road could not be seen at all. Recently, Xie Xuanji was finally reused by the emperor. Jiang Mingwei turned to take charge and immediately came to Mu Mingtang to show off.
She couldn't wait to show it to Mu Mingtang, telling Mu Mingtang that Xie Xuanji is now heavily relied on by the emperor, and how many people come to favor Jin Dynasty every day. Jiang Mingwei seemed to use this method to convince herself that her choice was correct, and her husband was still the man of Destiny.
Mu Mingtang sat in a secluded place to rest, and saw Jiang Mingwei coming towards her from a distance, and sighed in disgust.
It's really annoying, Jiang Mingwei is endless.
Jiang Mingwei stopped beside Mu Mingtang and deliberately asked: "Sister-in-law, is there anyone in this position?"
Mu Mingtang rolled his eyes secretly and said, "No one."
Jiang Mingwei sat down as expected. After she sat down, the sharp-eyed court lady immediately stepped forward to change tea for Jiang Mingwei. Jiang Mingwei took a sip from the tea cover, then smiled apologetically at Mu Mingtang: "It's a shame for my sister-in-law, but I have a bad temper and I only drink. Fresh Maojian, no other tea can be imported."
Mu Mingtang let out an "um", and asked without endurance: "Princess Jin made a special trip to come here, I want to have something to say. If you have something to say to the younger brothers and sisters, it doesn't hurt to say, so as not to delay each other's efforts."
"I was so ashamed of my sister-in-law's time." Although Jiang Mingwei said so, but when she changed her voice, she asked, "On such a lively day as Yuanri, we should celebrate the New Year with everyone. Why is my sister-in-law alone? Sitting in a remote place? Could it be that no one was talking to his sister-in-law on a good day?"
Mu Mingtang raised his eyebrows, tolerated, and said, "You can think whatever you want. Is there anything else Jin Princess?"
Mu Mingtang made no secret of rushing the guests. Jiang Mingwei was embarrassed, but the tone in her heart was still suffocating, so she still cheeked and sat down.
"My sister-in-law is so angry today. Is there something wrong?"
Almost Mu Mingtang couldn't help rolling her eyes. She didn't bother to pay attention to Jiang Mingwei, and she changed her direction, closing her eyes and resting on the table.
Mu Mingtang propped his elbow and supported his forehead, and his sleeves were drawn down naturally. Jiang Mingwei unexpectedly saw a bruise.
It's not all of them, because there are several ones connected into one piece. Looking at the shape, it looks like someone's fingers are holding this place and they accidentally pressed the bruise.
Inadvertently pricking the heart is the deadliest. Jiang Mingwei suddenly felt choked, and she couldn't say what she was ready to show off.
Yesterday Mu Mingtang also entered the palace, Jiang Mingwei can see that she did not have the position yesterday. That is to say, was it added last night?
Jiang Mingwei gave birth to an extremely difficult feeling. She remembered that when Mu Mingtang was engaged to Xie Xuanchen, Jiang Mingwei was uncomfortable. Mrs. Jiang also persuaded her, saying that Mu Mingtang was a living widow when he married, and it could not be compared to Jiang Mingwei's husband-in-law. Consensus, mix oil in honey.
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, for more than a year, a man who was basically a widow would become Jiang Mingwei.
There are beautiful people in Xie Xuanji's mansion, including the princess sent by Bei Rong, the maid sent by the queen, and the beauty sent by his subordinates. Later, when everyone saw that blowing pillow wind was useful, they became more and more interested in giving Xie Xuanji the beauties. Nowadays, the Wangfuli ring is fat and thin, each has its own advantages, and each person is not enough for a day. How can Xie Xuanji pay attention to Jiang Mingwei.
Only on the fifteenth day of the new year can she see Xie Xuanji in her room. Later, Jiang Mingwei listened to the dowry maid's words, opened her face to the beautiful dowry maid, and kept Xie Xuanji with fresh people.
There are courtesy teachings pressed on it, and Jiang Mingwei is certainly not worried about this kind of thing. However, she has no children yet.
This is the source of her anxiety.
Jiang Mingwei came to Mu Mingtang today, first to find the place where he used to be, and second, to find out about the reality of the An Palace. What was going on with Xie Xuanchen, how much his body recovered.
Looking at Mu Mingtang's expression now, these two questions seem to have answers.
Jiang Mingwei suddenly felt disappointed. What was the meaning of coming over to show off? What was the enthusiasm of entangled in the past. Jiang Mingwei felt boring, sat for a while, got up and left.
Mu Mingtang couldn't ask for it, wishing she would go back and forth. Jiang Mingwei walked out for a while, when people outside saw Jiang Mingwei, they smiled and talked to her.
Jiang Mingwei immediately raised Zhili's generous smile. Halfway through, Jiang Mingwei turned her head back, seeing Mu Mingtang leaning on her seat and closing her eyes, she seemed weak and unable to bear.
The light coming in from the back window sprinkled a piece of gold on her sleeves, and even the pattern on her knees seemed to glow with gold. She sits in a patch of fine gold, like a white magnolia inlaid with gold, pure and noble, born with power and wealth, and like a begonia after the rain, it is shining and bright, unbearable.
When Mingming first appeared, Mu Mingtang resembled Jiang Mingwei.
Mu Mingtang was sent to the palace as a substitute for Jiang Mingwei in his previous life. This became a fate between the two. The two of them are not alike, but they are born together, like a shadow, and never die. Such two people are like light and shadow, and there is always one person living in the shadow of the other. In the previous life, the halo of Jiang Mingwei, the "dead man", has always enveloped Mu Mingtang. In this life, Jiang Mingwei is not dead, and her white moonlight halo was also shattered by herself.
It turns out that only the dead can be perfect forever and never fall into the world.
In this life Jiang Mingwei married Xie Xuanji as she wished, and all Xie Xuanji's good feelings, expectations, and fantasies about her were also consumed in the real married life.
What Xie Xuanji likes has always been the "Jiang Mingwei" he imagined.
On the contrary, it was Mu Mingtang, who broke away from the identity of the second Miss Jiang family and suddenly shined brightly. She showed her true temperament and true hobbies, but those people in her previous life didn't dare to provoke her, and Xie Xuanji's eyes often stopped on her. Xie Xuanchen, who should have died early, gave her a man and woman affection, and he loved her almost pathologically, controlled her, and relied on her.
If the double is too dazzling, it will in turn suppress the original owner. Nowadays, many people will subconsciously put Mu Mingtang's preferences on Jiang Mingwei. Unconsciously, Jiang Mingwei became a substitute.
Jiang Mingwei sighed heavily. She wanted to tell herself that everyone had their own way, and that she and Mu Mingtang were married to different forces, and which one would be better or worse in the future is unknown. Jiang Mingwei didn't even think about it, and suddenly there was a riot outside the hall.
The female family members were shocked. After reacting, they asked what was going on. Even the queen who presided over the ceremony sent a confidant girl out to inquire about the news.
Soon, the panic spread to the harem from the previous dynasty. The maids sent by the queen had not returned yet, and the family members had received a terrifying news.
Eight hundred miles of urgent military reports came from the border. The Bei Rong people attacked the border last night and the city fell.
In the four years of Suihe, on New Year's Eve, the Beirong blitzkrieg raided the border. Ye Rong and the two countries were so powerful that they signed a peace agreement that lasted only half a year, and they were completely torn up.
When Mu Mingtang heard the news, he also stood up in surprise. She and Xie Xuanchen also talked about this a few days ago. Xie Xuanchen expected that Bei Rong would harass the border, but he thought it would be at least after the beginning of spring and snow.
Unexpectedly, on New Year's Eve, they stretched out their wolf claws.
After Mu Mingtang waited for the shock, he couldn't help showing a wry smile. Yeluyan really knew Ye dynasty, or the emperor.
Sure enough, the court held a big banquet on New Year's Eve, and even the border would inevitably celebrate and set off firecrackers. Everyone was eating and drinking, and the already fragile city defense was even weaker like paper.
The city wall was slack in patrol, and there were firecrackers to cover up. Bei Rong took advantage of New Year's Eve to sneak an attack, and he succeeded in one fell swoop.
The news was like a thunderstorm on the ground, and the female spouse was so scared that even the queen changed her face and left in a hurry. Seeing the queen leave, the rest of the female family members were even more upset. Only a panic was left in the hall where they were talking and laughing. Everyone was looking for familiar people to inquire about the news, and even a wife wanted to leave the palace immediately. .
Jiang Mingwei was also panicked. She actually knew that there would be war in Suihe five years ago. In other words, after five years from Suihe, the Ye dynasty would be turbulent for a long time. But in the previous life, she was in another camp and didn't feel the cruelty of the war much. Now that she has experienced the coming of the war, Jiang Mingwei felt panicked.
She even questioned her choice in this life for the first time. Is it true that she fled Beirong and returned to Ye Dynasty?
In panic, Jiang Mingwei saw Mu Mingtang walking out quickly. Jiang Mingwei's blessed soul suddenly stopped Mu Mingtang: "Mu Mingtang, where are you going?"
At the moment of the crisis, Jiang Mingwei did not call "Second Sister" any more, but directly called Mu Mingtang's name.
Of course Mu Mingtang wanted to find Xie Xuanchen outside. At this time, he was safe only by his side. Unexpectedly, Jiang Mingwei shouted suddenly, and the people on both sides were taken aback, and they also looked at Mu Mingtang.
Mu Mingtang suddenly became the focus of attention. She could only stop and raise her eyebrows and said: "I'm going outside to find the prince. What does Princess Jin think I am going to do?"
Jiang Mingwei hesitated to speak, but stopped because he knew that the Ye dynasty had been defeated in the previous life and was forced to move the capital. Jiang Mingwei was preconceived and naturally thought that Mu Mingtang wanted to sneak away.
But all this has not happened yet. Bei Rong just violated the border and is still far from Tokyo. There are several military defense lines in the middle. Although everyone is shocked now, no one feels that the Ye Dynasty is about to face the disaster of national subjugation.
Jiang Mingwei knew the development clearly, but couldn't say it. At this moment, she moved her lips, and finally could only cover up: "I didn't misunderstand the sister-in-law. I just watched the sister-in-law go out, worried that the sister-in-law would encounter an accident.
remind? Mu Mingtang doesn't think so. Jiang Mingwei looked at her expression just now, and she was convinced that she would flee, wishing to block her expression.
Mu Mingtang felt that Jiang Mingwei's performance was strange, and even more than that. Many times before, Jiang Mingwei had done some unthinkable things at first glance, such as avoiding fire during the Spring Festival last year, such as discussing peace.
Or a little earlier, Jiang Mingwei suddenly ran back to disturb and Qi Li, and changed her mind to marry Xie Xuanji, which made no sense.
Doesn't it, what does Jiang Mingwei know?
Mu Mingtang glanced at Jiang Mingwei and temporarily suppressed her strangeness. Now is not the time to pursue Jiang Mingwei, the upcoming war is the most important.
Mu Mingtang continued to move forward. At this moment, everyone in the hall was watching Mu Mingtang's movements. Mu Mingtang ignored it. When she walked to the door, she suddenly saw a familiar figure walking down the steps.
"Lord!" Mu Mingtang couldn't help but yelled out. She couldn't care about anything else, lifted her skirt and ran down the steps. Xie Xuanchen heard the familiar voice and walked towards her quickly.
Mu Mingtang dragged a long, big-sleeved shirt, dragging a gorgeous trace on the steps. Mu Mingtang flew to Xie Xuanchen's side. Xie Xuanchen reached out and caught her firmly: "I'm here."
There were so many disturbances, and it was only when he saw Xie Xuanchen at this moment that Mu Mingtang felt that his heart had fallen to the ground. Xie Xuanchen did not shy away from many gazes, hugged Mu Mingtang in front of everyone, and whispered: "It's okay, I am here."
Mu Mingtang threw himself into Xie Xuanchen's arms, his eyes sore uncontrollably. Surrounded by the familiar aura, her heart calmed down for an instant. Only then did she remember that she was in the palace. Behind it was the Fuqing Palace where the ceremonies were held. Many women from the clan watched from behind.
Mu Mingtang blushed, quickly got out of Xie Xuanchen's arms, and quickly stood still. Xie Xuanchen lost his hand, his eyes changed slightly: "What are you hiding?"
Mu Mingtang is embarrassed: "There are still people watching."
"What do they do?" Xie Xuanchen still stepped forward and took Mu Mingtang's hand, but the other hand was very natural and thoughtful to protect Mu Mingtang's back waist, "The celebration is not over, I will send you back to the house. ."
"how about you?"
"I'll come back later, I don't worry until I want to put you in place."
Unknowingly, the entrance of Fuqing Palace was already full of people. Jiang Mingwei and many female relatives watched Mu Mingtang pounce on Xie Xuanchen. Xie Xuanchen caught her across the steps, without looking at others, they guarded Mu Mingtang and left. . Seeing the direction they are leaving, they should be leaving the palace.
There was chaos in the palace, only Xie Xuanchen came to pick up his wife and escorted his wife home.
With Xie Xuanchen there, no one dared to stop him, and got into the carriage smoothly. Because Mu Mingtang was worried, Xie Xuanchen abandoned the car and made a special trip to accompany her.
Mu Mingtang really felt a lot of peace of mind, and he cared about Beirong's affairs: "Is the border failure serious?"
"The city of Suicheng fell, but the north is an important military defense area. There are three lines of defense, Zhongshan, Hejian, and Taiyuan to the south of Suicheng. As long as these three lines of defense are in place, the capital will be worry-free. However, there will be restlessness for a long time. it is true."
Not to threaten the capital, Mu Mingtang breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Jiang Mingwei's expression just now, she thought that Tokyo was about to fall.
Mu Mingtang asked, "How many troops did Bei Rong produce?"
"For the time being, I don't know the strength of the army." Xie Xuanchen suddenly thought of something and smiled meaningfully. "But I know the leader. Speaking of it, he is an acquaintance."
Mu Mingtang was surprised, and suddenly he guessed it: "Yelüyan?"
"That's right." Xie Xuanchen nodded faintly, and the smile on his lips seemed to be a mockery, "Shangyuanjie spy news is him, it is him to discuss peace, and it is him to attack the border. The Ye Rong peace agreement was originally a joke."
Mu Mingtang also sighed helplessly. Not long ago, officials from the Ye dynasty vowed to say "we have a peace treaty." Little did they know that in the eyes of the Beirong people, this agreement was a piece of waste paper from the beginning.
The emperor and Prime Minister Song tried their best to negotiate a peace, and they almost agreed to Suibi for "peace". Now being slapped in the face, I wonder if they will regret it.
Mu Mingtang didn't know if the emperor regretted it, but it was obvious that the emperor had lost a lot of face.
The emperor was embarrassed in front of the people and courtiers all over the country, and was so angry that he rarely made up his mind to fight Beirong. The emperor was so defensive against Xie Xuanchen, it was naturally impossible for Xie Xuanchen to contact the military power. Instead, he sent his confidant Tong Shao to lead the 100,000 troops of the Beijing Guards to go north to support Taiyuan.
The northern army was divided into two groups, led by the eighth prince Yeluyan on the west route, attacked Suicheng, and then took the Taihang Mountains to Taiyuan. To the east, the youngest son of Empress Dowager Xiao, who is also the younger brother of Emperor Bei Rong, led troops from Hejian and Zhongshan to attack the east.
After the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures were ceded, the Central Plains lost their barriers, and Tokyo could only be defended by the three important towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian. These three cities are critical to the safety of the capital, and they have always been highly valued. Their troops and generals have experienced a lot of battles. Among them, Taiyuan was under the greatest pressure, and the imperial court sent several teams to support it. Among them, Taiyuan had the strongest force of 100,000.
Yeluyan brought only 60,000 soldiers and horses. Defending the city was easier than attacking the city. The reinforcements also brought sufficient food, grass and armaments. Everyone was full of confidence in this defense battle.
No one thought that Tong Shao was a literati and was greedy for life and fear of death. After seeing the soldiers and horses of the Beirong people outside the city, he was frightened. The military attache was inferior to the civilian officer, and all military commanders had to listen to Tong Shao's dispatch. As a result, the highest commander, Tong Shao, not only did not organize defense, but took the lead in fleeing on the eve of the war. The army in Taiyuan City was in a state of chaos, and Yeluyan took advantage of the vacancy and broke through several lines of defense with ease.
The coach ran away, and there were only less than 3,000 people left in Taiyuan City, but there were 60,000 Beirong troops outside the city. The soldiers of Taiyuan defending the city desperately resisted, and they resisted Yeluyan's violent attack on the city, and stopped Beirong from going south.
Taiyuan couldn't attack for a long time. I didn't expect this to be just a blindfold. Taking advantage of all the sights of the court to be attracted to Taiyuan, Yeluji led the East Route Army to bypass the Zhongshan and Hejian defense lines and instead attacked Zhending. After Zhending fell, the chiefs of the cities along the road were all literati, and no one dared to fight. Captain Yelu drove straight in and walked directly to the border of the Yellow River and approached the city of Tokyo.
The news reached the capital, and the whole country was shocked. It is winter now, and the water of the Yellow River has frozen. I heard that Yelvji has sent people to the center of the river to test the thickness of the ice layer. In a few days, the river will be crossed.
Once across the Yellow River, less than ten miles away from Tokyo, the trap of the siege of the capital is in sight.
The imperial court exploded the pot at once, and the capital had just transferred one hundred thousand soldiers to support Taiyuan, and the remaining force was only one hundred thousand. However, Tokyo is not easy to defend and difficult to attack by relying solely on natural dangers. Once the capital falls, the emperor, Zaifu, and many princes and princesses all fall, and the Ye Dynasty will be subjugated.
The emperor summoned the lords into the palace overnight, and the officials were clamoring and could not stop for a moment. They were all literati, and they were panicked at the moment. One of the veteran officials said: "Your Majesty, for the present plan, I can only move the capital immediately before Yeluji crosses the river. Tokyo can be rebuilt if it is destroyed, leaving the green hills, no worries about firewood, as long as your majesty is there, no worries. There is no day when Tokyo will be rebuilt. As long as this period of time is passed, and then soldiers will be sent to various places, Your Majesty will be safe.
The veteran's voice fell behind, and everyone fell silent. The emperor's heart sank when he heard that he had already reached the point of moving the capital? Once the capital was moved in a hurry, and the accumulation of several Central Plains courts over decades, Tokyo's prosperous foundation was completely destroyed.
The emperor really couldn't bear it, and asked in a deep voice: "The people of Tokyo live and work in peace and contentment, with a population of millions. I can't bear to abandon the people. Is there no other way besides moving the capital?"
After the emperor finished speaking, he was silent for a long time. After a while, the old official said deeply, "In addition to moving the capital, there is another plan."
"His Royal Highness King Fuan."
