Rebirth of marriage

Chapter 428 Finale (8)

The Cao family fell and the emperor was critically ill. The civil servants were secretly led by Lin Yushi, while the military generals leaned on the Duke of Zhen. Many ministers proposed to write to King Xiao to return to Beijing to take charge of the overall situation.

Lin Yushi and Zhen Guogong both acquiesced, and Lin Yushi personally wrote a letter and sent it to King Xiao.

Xie Jiu sat in front of the emperor's bed, his eyes falling on nowhere. Ah Xiao has been gone for a day, where is he now?He was riding a horse and traveling day and night, but his body could still bear the pain. How should he proceed when he arrived in Xiliang to achieve success?

As I thought about it, tears fell.

From the moment she knew that Gu Xiao had this idea, she suppressed the worry and fear in her heart and did not dare to reveal it at all.

When she was reborn, she was in a difficult situation, and what she had to do was a fantasy to her at that time, but Ah Xiao never stopped her and always supported her silently.

He also has his ideals and persistence. She shouldn't break his wings just because she's afraid something will happen to him. His Ah Xiao is a man who stands upright.

The sound of rustling on the bed interrupted Xie Jiu's thoughts. She raised her eyes and saw the emperor looking at him with his eyes open. Maybe he was feeling better after sleeping for a day.

He was buttoning the mattress with his hands, trying to attract Xie Jiu's attention.

After Gu Xiaodian's mute point was untied, Xie Jiu used a needle to completely seal his throat. The emperor was still unable to speak. When he woke up and saw Xie Jiu crying profusely, his first reaction was that something had happened to Gu Xiao. .

The medicine made his consciousness less clear. He only vaguely remembered that his son was going to sneak into the Xiliang Palace to assassinate the King of Xiliang.

He had been the emperor for such a long time, so he naturally knew how strict the palace's defense was and how dangerous it was to break into the palace and assassinate him. There was a trace of guilt in his eyes. It was he who forced his son to take this road.

If something happens to Gu Xiao, he will lose all popularity, and even if he dies, he will have no face to see Yun Wei.

"Xiliang has added another 15 troops, and they are coming fiercely. We in Daxia only have 20 troops, less than half of Xiliang. A Xiao can only make dangerous moves."

Xie Jiu wiped away his tears and took in the emperor's expression, "If you could have made great achievements during your reign, Daxia would not be in the position it is today."

She was resentful towards the emperor, and she was resentful for Gu Xiao.

The emperor frowned and looked unhappy. He could feel guilty, but when would it be Xie Jiu's turn to condemn him.

If he hadn't fallen in love with Xie Jiu, Gu Xiao would not have come to Beijing and still guarded his Yuyouguan. They were far apart from father and son, so that they would not have reached the point where he was jealous of him and guarded against him. Then he would not If I had taken some elixir, I wouldn't have been in this situation today.

Xie Jiu glanced at his expression lightly and said, "Cao Zhicheng is not entirely wrong if he suspects that I have the ability to predict the future."

She leaned over and whispered, "The reason why I know some things in advance is because I am a reborn person. In your previous life, you were suppressed by the Cao family until your death. You died early. The third prince ascended the throne and relied on the Cao family. , this country also followed the surname Cao.

And Ah Xiao was feared by the third prince, who used me as bait to trap him and kill him. He was trampled into mud by thousands of troops. The Great Xia was in civil strife, and the Gu family was left in your hands.

Ah Xiao's death was due to me and you. I still have a chance to make amends in this life, but you were so stupid in both lives without realizing it. "

After saying that, she stood up and sat further away without saying a word. She sat by the window, where a group of ministers were waiting.

The emperor tried his best to make a sound to make Xie Jiu look at him again. He wanted to ask Xie Jiu if what she just said was true.

Before taking the elixir, although his body was old, it would not be a problem to live for a few more years. But if he died early in his previous life, was he harmed by the Queen or Cao Zhicheng?

The third and fourth sons were not of royal blood, so it was impossible for him to give way to them, but it was the third child who finally took that position, so his death was definitely not a normal one.

It turns out that in his previous life, Gu Xiao didn't return to Beijing to thank him for drinking, so his life was not as good as it is now?

If he had known this, he would not have been so guarded against Gu Xiao. He was his true bloodline, his only bloodline.

How did Gu Xiao react to his death? Did he ever think about avenging his father?

And did Gu Xiao really die so miserably in his previous life?

But in fact, he knew it was true, because Xie Jiu loved Gu Xiao very much. If it hadn't happened, she would never have done anything unlucky to Gu Xiao, especially when he was taking risks.

How could his son, who was so powerful, die so miserably?

As for this life, he wanted to ask Xie Jiu if he had made any comprehensive arrangements when he went to Xiliang?What are the chances of winning?

In his previous life, he lost the Gu family. In this life, he hopes that Jiangshan can still be named Gu. He hopes that Gu Xiao will come back from Xiliang alive.

He stretched his neck and tilted his head to look at Xie Jiu.

But Xie Jiu never looked at him again from the beginning to the end. The emperor swallowed his breath while holding back his doubts, and could not close his eyes until his death.

When the emperor died, all the officials mourned.

Regarding the emperor's death, the ministers had no doubts. Before Cao Zhicheng's assassination, he was in a state of decline. However, now that the country has no owner, everyone hopes that King Xiao will return to the capital soon.

What was waiting for him was Mo Li, who was next to King Xiao. He personally sent a letter from King Xiao. In the letter, King Xiao told all the ministers that the Gu family would be temporarily governed by Princess Xiao, with Princess Changping Protecting the Country, Duke Zhen Guo, and Royal Physician Lin in charge. He will serve as assistant to the government until he defeats Xiliang before returning to the capital.

The whole court was shocked. Although King Xiao was now the only heir, King Xiao himself had not yet ascended the throne and had handed over the country to a woman. Some elderly ministers and royal family members were dissatisfied.

Xie Jiu's brows were cold, "If there are generals available in Daxia, I hope that King Xiao can sit in the capital and take charge of the overall situation. Now that my husband is away, I will protect his home for him."

Daxia is in crisis. As the people of Daxia, we should unite as one. If someone takes the opportunity to cause trouble, I am not a gentleman, so I don’t have to worry too much about what I do. Those who cause trouble will be killed without mercy! "

Her words calmed some people, but the members of the royal family didn't take it seriously. Jiangshan's surname was Gu, and they were also surnamed Gu. Why couldn't they leave Jiangshan like Yong?

But as soon as they had signs of making trouble, Xie Jiu ordered Mo Li to kill a few of the troublemakers, and sent all the adult men in their family who had practiced martial arts to the Duke of Zhen for training, and sent them to him when needed in the future. Defend the enemy on the battlefield.

This made the dissatisfied royal clan a little scrupulous.

Xie Jiu made appointments with some people separately. She didn't mince words and directly laid out the facts about these people collected by Jiuxiao Pavilion. It happened that these facts were not life-threatening, but could make them lose their official positions.

Whether to obey and thank you for drinking or to be punished, smart people know the choice.

Those who followed Cao Zhicheng and committed heinous crimes will be punished according to Daxia law.

The blood at the West Street vegetable market has not dried up for several days.

Xie Jiu dealt with a group of people vigorously and resolutely, and selected one person with good character and ability from the official families she had threatened to train as the first batch of disciples of the new emperor.

This made the officials who were originally threatened by her laugh out loud.

Princess Xiao, who gave a stick to a jujube, finally felt convinced.

They made mistakes in the past, and Princess Xiao will let them go. As long as they fulfill their duties faithfully in the future, and those young people chosen by her in the next generation will also be loyal to the public and self-denial, their family's glory will only be greater than before.

Isn't this why they are so stubborn?

What does it matter whether the person in power is a man or a woman?

And after experiencing these things, how could they dare to look down upon this petite woman who seemed weak and could be bullied. Her decisive methods were unmatched by many men.

What particularly frightened them was Princess Xiao's understanding of them. Some of the people she singled out were people they had never paid attention to, but Princess Xiao knew their talents and personalities clearly.

This shows how capable they are, how dare they make a mistake in front of such a person.

After stabilizing the court, Xie Jiu ordered Jiuxiao Pavilion to send large quantities of grain and grass to the front lines of Dirong and Xiliang respectively. At the same time, he also opened public schools and medical clinics in the capital, which reassured the originally uneasy people.

Because Princess Xiao said, "Wars must be fought, and days must be lived. Farm the land when it's time, and study when it's time to study. Children are the future of Daxia, and you are the foundation of Daxia."

Both the masters in the public schools and the doctors in the medical clinics were paid salaries by the imperial court, so the tuition fees and medical fees were very close to the people. In addition to teaching literature, the public schools also taught martial arts. Students who practiced martial arts could take exams and serve in the army in the future.

Her calmness soothed the hearts of those who were restless due to the war, and often made the people feel that this was not a time of war, but more like rushing to a prosperous age.

They have a promising future and are increasingly supportive of Princess Xiao.

Three months passed in a busy time, and Xie Jiu still failed to receive a letter from Gu Xiao, and she did not dare to write it easily.

Because it was the deep winter season at the end of the year, the three countries temporarily suspended the war for one month. After the new year, spring was the season for their respective sowing, and the three countries started war again.

The people in Daxia, under Xie Jiu's instructions, continued to plow the fields as usual.

After the spring plowing was over, another two months passed, and Xie Jiu finally received a note from Gu Xiao with only the word 'an' on it, which made her feel relieved after months of worry.

Mother and daughter were connected. The daughter in her belly probably sensed her mother's emotions and kicked her hard a few times. Immediately, a tight and severe pain came. Xie Jiu's expression changed drastically, "Xiao Shu, I...I It seems like she’s about to give birth.”
