In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

Tomorrow night is the time when the Western Rong people are speculated to attack Lan County.

As a result, the general guarding Lan County was injured in advance.

Yan Shi stood up quickly and calmly, and ordered: "Yang Wu, Chen Rongjing, Jiang Yun, Jiang Tao, you ride your horses to the four city gates to inform the garrison generals tonight to strengthen their vigilance and be careful of spies in the city opening the city gates. County Magistrate Feng, block the news of General Li's injury, and then you lead the officials to patrol the city first. If you encounter any suspicious persons, arrest them and keep them under strict supervision. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."

"Yes!"

"I obey your orders."

The people who were named all ran quickly to the areas they were responsible for with serious expressions.

The He family members were not officials, so He Qiudi and He Huaibi simply followed Yan Shi to the general's mansion to see what was going on.

After arranging the corresponding work, Yan Shi walked towards the garrison general's mansion while asking the soldiers about the specific situation.

“Why was the general injured in the general’s mansion?

The soldier lowered his head and said, "It was...it was the lady who poisoned the soup for dinner. After the general found out, she stabbed the general with a vicious dagger."

He Qiudi was not far behind Yan Shi.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

The enemy is within.

Yan Shi frowned when he heard this, and asked again: "Has the news been blocked?"

"The general is still conscious. He has captured the assassin immediately and ordered the news to be blocked in the general's mansion. He also sent me here to find you."

It seems.

General Li's personal guard is General Li's confidant, so he is entrusted with important tasks.

The General's Mansion was not far from the west city gate, and the group walked quickly for more than ten minutes before arriving at the General's Mansion.

The old military doctor was squeezing out the poisonous blood and bandaging General Li's wounds. General Li's face was pale. When he saw Yan Shi coming in, he struggled to get up, but was held down by Yan Shi.

"Your Highness, I was blind and trusted others. At this critical moment, I was successfully assassinated. I was derelict in my duty."

Yan Shi waved his hand and said, "General Li, you should take good care of your injuries. I will not let anything happen to you. I will also protect Lan County and Yongning Prefecture. The imperial court will not give up an inch of the territory of the Great Zhou!"

"Hahaha!"

The general's wife who assassinated General Li was controlled by the guards. When she saw Yan Shi saying this, she couldn't help but laugh like crazy.

"Great Zhou will not give up an inch of its territory! Feng Shiyan, you little brat, do you think you are your father? Your father, the heir apparent, is a hypocrite who should not be alive! The heir apparent of Great Zhou should be the eldest son of the emperor and the empress. If you dare to come to Lan County, the uncle will press you to death here! This is the price you will pay for your family's attempt to steal the country!"

Feng Shiyan turned his head and looked at the general's wife with sharp eyes.

[Yanshi is the pseudonym of Feng Shiyan. From now on, the male protagonist will call him Feng Shiyan. ]

"Yang Si, you are making false comments about the crown prince. You will be slapped twenty times."

Hearing this, Yang Si found a wooden plaque about 20 to 30 centimeters long on General Li's desk, and started slapping the general's wife in the face.

After Yang Si finished beating him, General Li said in a painful voice, "We have been married for more than ten years, but I never thought that everything was a trap. When did you become the uncle of the emperor and the queen's man?"

The general's wife received twenty slaps on the face. Her cheeks were red, swollen and cracked, her lips were red and swollen, blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth, and she could barely speak.

"I have always been protecting the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou. What Crown Prince? He is the biggest traitor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The uncle and the queen are just trying to set things right and restore order! Feng Shiyan, if you had persuaded your father to give up the title of Crown Prince and return it to the eldest son, the people of Yongning and Yuhu mansions would not have to suffer! You are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites!"

He Qiudi listened for a while.

I have already guessed the truth of the matter.

The novel is written from He Qingya's perspective. She actually doesn't know much about the affairs of the Great Zhou and the Xirong royal family.

The author briefly explained some of this when he wrote about being poisoned to death by his cousin during a banquet.

He Qiudi made some speculations based on the content of the novel and what he saw and heard.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was not actually a unified dynasty.

To the east was the Dongyi Kingdom by the sea, to the south were Nanyue and Nanzhao, to the north were Beidi and Beixian, and to the west was Xirong.

Da Zhou is in the center.

It has a large area, a good geographical location, diverse landforms and climate, and abundant resources. It is a great country with a prosperous nation and a strong people.

It turns out that the Great Zhou was not that big.

It was through the efforts of several generations of the Feng family that the country's current area was achieved.

However, since Feng Shiyan's grandfather died while starting his business, after the young emperor ascended the throne, he was unable to defeat the empress dowager and the emperor's uncle's family at first, and the government was controlled by the foreign relatives.

The young emperor finally defeated his foreign relatives, but ended up being completely ruined. He left no offspring and became seriously ill. When there was no cure, he could only pass the throne to his younger brother.

That means you have to choose between your current royal brother and Feng Shiyan's father.

Back then, Feng Shiyan's father was granted fiefdoms in Yuhu Prefecture and Yongning Prefecture. The Western Rong people took advantage of the fact that the previous emperor was critically ill and the Zhou Dynasty was in turmoil to launch an invasion.

Feng Shiyan's father was far away in the frontier and could not rush back to stabilize the court.

The late emperor had no choice but to pass the throne to the current emperor who was in poor health.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he was afraid that something unexpected would happen to him which would lead to instability in the court, so after Feng Shiyan's father repelled the Western Rong people, he made him the crown prince.

Even if something happens to me, the country will not be left without a crown prince and fall into chaos.

Although the emperor had his own son not long after, he seemed to be worried that the situation of foreign relatives interfering in politics during the time of the previous emperor would happen again, so he never thought of making his son the crown prince.

Because the emperor felt that his health was not good and he would die sooner or later.

But my younger brother is good at governing the country with literature and conquering the world with military force.

Feng Shiyan is older than his son and more capable.

The most important thing is that Feng Shiyan's mother came from a merchant family. Even if the emperor and the crown prince were gone, there was no need to worry about the in-laws controlling the government.

But the Queen’s background is different.

He is the King's uncle, and also has the identity of Duke.

The novel mentioned that after Feng Shiyan lost his arm and recovered Yongning Prefecture, he rushed back to the capital, produced evidence of treason against the emperor's uncle and the queen, killed the entire family of the emperor's uncle, and sent the queen to the cold palace. After hearing the news that her natal family had been confiscated and exterminated, the queen also committed suicide in the cold palace.

A few years later, the Crown Prince was accidentally poisoned and died while conquering Nanzhao and Nanyue.

Feng Shiyan's arm was broken and he could not be made crown prince, so the emperor had to make his own son the crown prince.

But after the eldest son became emperor, he hated Feng Shiyan for forcing his uncle and mother to death. After Feng Shiyan defeated the Dongyi, recovered the Nanzhao, expelled the Beidi, and drove the Xirong from the grassland to the other side of the desert, after the world was stabilized, he sent Feng Shiyan back with a cup of poisoned wine.

just now.

What the King's uncle and the Queen have to do is to cut off the Crown Prince's lineage.

They collaborated with the Western Rong and trapped Yan Shi to death in Lan County and massacred him in Yongning Prefecture.

A crown prince who has no offspring is no longer qualified to be a crown prince.

Damn them.

In order to keep the emperor in his hands, he let the wolf in and ignored the common people.

"General, general!"

Just as He Qiudi was daydreaming, he heard the old military doctor's exclamation.

General Li's blood rushed to his head and the poison attacked his heart. He tilted his head and fainted.
