Generals and Emperors

The palace is deep, the wind is cool and the dew is cold.

The woman sat upright in front of the diamond-shaped mirror in the corner, doing her makeup, and her red-hot phoenix robe dripped all over the floor like glaring blood.

She is a young woman with a unique face, and the years treat her as her own. Under the dim light, she is like a girl in a boudoir.

Someone came in behind.

The woman calmly held the brush and stroked the red plum on the forehead for the last time. She stroked her sleeve and put down the brush, and smiled contentedly at the beauty in the mirror, her brilliance was compelling.

"Father has passed away, and mother is wearing a queen's court dress, who do you want to be queen for?" The voice contained a smile, but no emotion could be heard, because the laughter was systematic.

The woman's beautiful eyes were full of viciousness and disgust, she stood up and faced the person by the door.

"The queen mother still hates me as always." The man stepped into the threshold, he was a young man, but with a bit of a woman's appearance, his handsome beauty actually suppressed the shockingly dressed beauty, he was quite lazy He said in a familiar way: "In this regard, I still really look like my mother, because I also hate my mother's empress."

woman... oh no...

One of the most honorable women in the world today, the birth mother of Emperor Li Shu, the former Concubine Cheng, and now Empress Dowager Xiaoyun is so angry that her face is pale, and she can't hide her makeup. She trembles all over, not because of fear, but because of anger. She gritted her teeth and said: "Stupid thing, who let you in?"

A strange look flashed across the faces of Li Mi and Xi, as if recalling an unpleasant experience, he immediately returned to normal: "I am the master of the world now, does the queen mother think..."

"Don't call me Queen Mother! You weren't born by me at all!" Empress Dowager Xiaoyun yelled almost hysterically. She hated the face in front of her very much, because she could see a person she hated so much from this handsome face. I can see the unbearable self and all the dusty crimes under the years.

Once the late emperor died, this hatred didn't need to be concealed, it intensified to a point where it couldn't be superimposed.

If she could, she would have strangled him immediately.

Li Mi didn't have any mood swings. He had guessed this answer countless times in his heart. If it was written on paper, those papers would have been ripped apart long ago, and there was no innovation.

"You want to kill Aijia?" The Empress Dowager Xiaoyun calmed down and sat upright on the chair.Anyone who dares to go this far has no retreat, her words are a threat.

"I'm the one who tortured you all by yourself, Queen Mother." Li Mi said flatly, "I'm not stupid enough to be that big brother, I just came to tell you that Cheng Qianya and you will never get what you want." Li Mi said His eyes gradually deepened, and a cruel smile appeared on his face, like a demon, he said word by word: "The blood color in the northwest tonight must be really beautiful."

Empress Dowager Xiaoyun's face was pale. She never could see through the wolf she raised, but she felt a faint sense of danger coming. Her body slowly became limp, and she seemed to be ten years older in an instant. She still defended: "No way. ...Cheng En went to the Northwest with an army of 20, this child..." She suddenly realized, and stared at her adopted son with resentment, her words were reversed, and her logic was confused: "No wonder the secret agent reported to me that Cheng En was willing to degenerate and commit suicide. Your male prostitute, this bastard, you two bastards...he bastard actually colluded with others to deal with his own father!"

Mentioning Cheng En, Li Mi frowned, his eyes were filled with imperceptible confusion, and after a long while, he said without any ups and downs: "Pretending to be a lady from a famous family, entering the palace, committing adultery and having children with her brother in name, the heavens have eyes, let you After giving birth to a stillborn baby, you designed to seize... the flesh and blood of the former queen, and conspired against the world. It's really not suitable for you to spit out his name from the mouth of a dirty person like you. People like mothers and queens will spend the rest of their lives with them. Let the ancient Buddha cleanse his dirty heart with the green lamp!"

……

……

In Beijing, it rains non-stop.

A water curtain was spread under the eaves of the palace, and the air was damp, and it was unbearably cold to touch a few drops of water on the body.

Li Mi stood on the porch, wearing a black fox fur, and the old eunuch held an umbrella and called out: "Your Majesty, it's cold at night..."

Li Mi was still silent, staring at the northwest, but only saw the sky full of dark clouds.

"Your Majesty, General Du has been lurking by King Qin's side for 11 years, are you sure you want him to do it tonight?"

"Do it tonight. Li You and Cheng Qianya must die."

"Then Ruo Zhenyuan General...to the King of Qin..."

"..." The man pondered for a long time before Fang Nian said, "Cheng En, if you rebel..."

This scene is vivid in Li Mi's mind, and he can't get rid of it. He looked at the northwest deeply, and despite the dark clouds, he was still very focused, and his eyes were bottomless: "This is the biggest bet in my life, Cheng En, you Don't blame me."

Thousands of miles away in the northwest, the yellow sand is endless, and a blood moon implies an ominous omen. In the place twenty miles away from the city, countless tents have taken root on the spot. It is just after dinner, and in the commander's tent, With a coat draped over his shoulders, Cheng En read the letter carefully under the flickering candlelight.

Xu Songzhi stood aside with no air.From his point of view, Cheng En hadn't raised his brows since he received the letter from the messenger. Xu Songzhi put his hands on his sleeves and couldn't take his eyes off it.

This is a letter sent in the name of Cheng Qianya.

Rather than saying it is a letter from home, it is more appropriate to say it is a letter of persuasion.

"My son, Cheng En, sees the words like a face. Today, the Li millet has no virtue and incompetence, and the king of Qin wins more than ten times the millet. My son, quickly abandon the dark and turn to the light, and go to the city to reunite with me and your mother's family, assist the king of Qin, and help justice... "Cheng En squeezed the center of his brows. He had never felt such a strong sense of fatigue, as if his soul had been emptied. He raised his head and closed his eyes to rest. After a long while, he murmured a wry smile: "Father, father...you are killing me. ah!"

"General?" Xu Songzhi did his duty as a military adviser and made suggestions. He said in a low voice, "If you vote for the King of Qin, Cheng's family will definitely shine. Besides, the emperor is suspicious. Accompanying this king is like accompanying a tiger. This move is entirely up to the general's decision."

Cheng En stood up and clasped his hands back, his usually handsome and youthful face was stained with a layer of coldness, he said lightly and irresistibly: "I was born 23 years ago, and I never knew why I rebelled, and I never had any rebellion. This time, I won't either. My father did something wrong, and the Cheng family did something wrong, but I won't make the same mistakes again and again, lard has stained my conscience."

"Humble position knows order." Xu Songzhi admired him from the bottom of his heart, and he prostrated himself on the ground.

"Report--General! A team of troops rushed to the city!"

"Prepare to meet the enemy." Cheng En quickly put on his armor, took a spear, jumped on the red-brown horse he had brought, and took the lead.

The wind and sand in the northwest was still whistling even in the dead of night, and there were hundreds of people standing far away in the vast distance. Cheng En frowned, ordered the archers to make gestures, but then ordered: "Don't shoot arrows first."

A person on the opposite side yelled in a long voice: "Grand General Zhenyuan, the humble Du Yichao came to see you with the head of Li You, the king of rebellion in the name of today!"

"Du Yichao..." Cheng En thought to himself, this Du Yichao is Li You's confidant, why did he behead Li You and surrender.After a few thoughts, Cheng En called back: "General Du, please bring the head of the thief king forward."

"The general... I'm afraid it's a conspiracy." Xu Songzhi reminded him while twisting his feather fan.

Cheng En didn't say a word, he raised his horse's hoof and took two steps forward, blocking Xu Songzhi, if it was really a conspiracy, how can he really underestimate Cheng En, the two swords in his hands seem to be loose, but they are already ready, the most unfortunate Prepare to fight.

The other party passed through the layers of yellow fog, and the leading general, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was meticulous, holding a carved wooden box with both hands, which was just the right size to hold a human head.

Cheng En knew that the general was indeed Du Yichao, but he still didn't relax for a moment.

Du Yichao's face was solemn. Ten steps away from Cheng En, as if he had made up his mind, he reached into the box with one hand and took out something...

Everyone on Cheng En's side tensed up, and the sound of a weapon being unsheathed broke the silence in an instant.

Cheng En waved his hand to stop him, because what caught his eye was a bloody head, and what Du Yichao was holding was actually a head!And that head, how could Cheng En not remember, Qin Wang Li You!A hero!If the rebellion came true, Li You might really sit in the Golden Luan Hall to accept the congratulations from the Wan Dynasty, but Kou, the winner and the loser, actually made a blood cell.

If... If this is Li Mi.

Ruo... If the loser is Li Mi.

Cheng En's heart trembled, he let out a heavy breath, until Du Yichao hesitantly touched his nose again and said: "That... ah... General Zhenyuan, there is a word from the Holy Spirit, the Northwest is pacified, he bought candied haws in Beijing and waits for you... "

Two teams of soldiers: "..." Excitement.

Cheng En's heart moved, but his face remained calm, and he said: "General Du, please come into the camp and talk."
