Chapter 201 Five Years of Chaowu

Li Yanyi really went to the Tai Chi Hall in his robe and crown.

Empress Dowager Geng didn't know whether Li Yanyi was sober or confused at this time, whether his physical condition was good or bad.He said she was good, but still coughed again and again, said she was not good, walking like flying, even the Moon Chasing Army almost couldn't keep up.

The Hong bell of the Xuanzhao Dynasty came from the center of the Forbidden Garden, and all the officials in the various divisions and departments of the Forbidden Garden were puzzled when they heard the bell.It's already past the morning hour, why is the bell ringing at this time?

Bo Lan was carrying a pile of papers and headed towards Honglu Temple, when she heard the morning bell, she immediately stopped and looked at the oncoming colleagues.

Regardless of the meaning of the bell ringing at this time, the emperor must show up immediately when he summons them, and there must be no delay.

Bo Lan immediately put the scrolls away, tidied up her official uniforms, and followed the rushing crowd towards the Tai Chi Hall.

He had heard a little bit about what happened last night, and now the emperor suddenly summoned everyone abnormally, which made Bo Lan feel a little worried. Could there be some big shock?

When the ministers arrived at the Houjun Pavilion, they would usually have to wait here for at least a quarter of an hour before they could enter the palace, but today it was extremely fast.As soon as Bo Lan arrived at the Houjun Pavilion, she saw that the gate of the Tai Chi Hall had been slowly opened.

The ministers walked in with fog on their heads, they never expected that what awaited them was an unprecedented disaster.

After Wei Tingxu and his family met in Zhao County, they moved quickly. Lin Ding's pursuers were lured to the south, and when they found something was wrong, they turned back and pursued along the wild roads of Zhao County.

Zhen Wenjun is a veteran of marching and fighting. She borrowed a heavenly soldier magic box from A Liao to check the terrain around Zhaoxian County, and recruited a group of civilians on the spot and asked them to investigate the reality of the Jinwu Guard.The civilians pretended to be merchants and woodcutters without flaws, and reported to Zhen Wenjun that the Jinwu Guard had about 2000 people.Zhen Wenjun asked Wei Tingxu if there were any private soldiers hidden by her Wei family here.At the beginning, Wei Tingxu was a little bit mystifying, but Zhen Wenjun exposed her:

"With your always cautious personality, if there were no private soldiers in Zhao County, you would never choose to settle here. How many are there, ten thousand? Twenty thousand?"

Wei Tingxu confessed honestly: "Fifty thousand."

Expecting that she had Tibetan soldiers, she did not expect that the small Zhao County had hidden as much as [-] soldiers. Zhen Wenjun looked at the map made of the Heavenly Soldiers God Box at his feet, and had a premonition in his heart. County, Yao County, Yujiang four cities.While Zhen Wenjun was pointing, Wei Tingxu looked at her with great interest. Judging from Wei Tingxu's expression, Zhen Wenjun had already guessed nine points.

"These four cities surrounded Runing from west to east in the shape of palms. If you lay an ambush in these four cities, once you rush to the south of Shanxi and attack you again, Runing will definitely fall."

Wei Tingxu didn't say yes or no, just took the medicine on his own.

"However, now that the army rushing to Jin was defeated by Bo Chishen, and even paid tribute to seek peace, it is wrong no matter how you think about it."

Wei Tingxu asked: "You mean, there is fraud in it?"

"I'm not familiar with Bo Zhishen. I haven't seen his ability so I can't make a judgment directly. It's just that I have fought against Chong Jin. At that time, I can feel that although Chong Jin is strong and brave, his ability to learn and imitate is also outstanding. As long as the tactics used by the enemy will be learned quickly, they are not a group of reckless men who only know how to attack. Since the defeat of Chongjin in the 11th year of Shenchu, for so many years, they may have not only prepared troops, but also customized a series of The battle plan. The current defeat and peace is one of the plans."

"If you were the leader of Chongjin, how would you arrange your troops?"

"First of all, I will send spies into Da Yu's country to find out the relationship between the Da Yu center and the localities, and choose to take action when the internal struggle is the most intense. But I will not go straight to Huanglong. A thin camel is bigger than a horse, even if the Da Yu center Darkness is still a terrible enemy. Take the lead in sacrificing part of the soldiers and horses to create the illusion of defeat, and when Yu's army feels that the victory is in hand, they will press down on the territory, and take advantage of the political struggle of the Da Yu's central government to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"It's indeed a good way to consume the least amount of money." Wei Tingxu said, "When Bo Chishen reversed the situation in the Northern Xinjiang, I also smelled the idea of ​​rushing to Jin. If Li Yanyi was still awake, he would not lose this idea. Unfortunately, Now she's on her own."

"Involuntary? What did you do to her?"

Even though Zhen Wenjun had tried to reduce the amount of bitter herbs when dispensing the medicine, Wei Tingxu frowned slightly due to the strong bitter taste of the medicine soup.

"You'll find out soon enough."

Wei Tingxu did not call Zhaoxian's private soldiers, so that Zhen Wenjun would not have to confront the Jinwu Guard head-on. Lin Ding would leave this place soon and rush back to Runing.

"Could it be that you left some hidden thunder in Runing?" Zhen Wenjun asked, "Is Li Yanyi unwell?"

Wei Tingxu thought of Father, and sighed sadly: "Father protected our Wei family from Beijing with his life, and saved the heads of the whole family. Even if it is for Father, we will let all the people in Runing be buried with us."

Sure enough, news came back in the early morning of the second day, saying that Lin Ding's soldiers and horses suddenly turned their heads in the direction of Runing and withdrew quickly for some reason.At the same time, a secret report came from the front that the main force of the Yu army led by Bo Chishen was suddenly attacked on the way back to Runing and was trapped in Jiufengling. In the end, only 12 of the 2000 army escaped desperately to report the news, and the rest were all buried in the mountains.Bo Chishen and Bo Qin were killed in battle, and the son of Uncle Guo's family, Genghuang, was protected and escaped from the siege, but he was also deprived of one arm and became a useless person.

When Wei Tingxu received the battle report, the funeral team was slowly heading west, and it was still five hundred miles away from Pingcang.

The vast loess is covered with powdery snow, Wei Tingxu raised his hand, paper money filled the sky.

Father, brother, I will use my eyes to witness the demise of the Li family for you.

The army of Jin rushed to press down on the border strongly, and in just one month, it chased Runing for nearly [-] miles, and broke through six more cities from Baiyu City and Mengliang, and even Guan Yang was easily taken down.

The battle of Mengliang back then was a great shame for Chongjin, and they have been recharging their energy and energy all these years just for the shame of today's battle.More importantly, the climate in the north is becoming more and more violent, and the warm and fertile south is always a dream that lingers in their hearts, a dream that makes their blood boil.Countless Chongjin people made the oath of "die in the south". They were fed up with the cold, they needed delicious food and warm houses, and they needed fragrant and soft southern women.

Chongjin is like a sharp arrow shot at Dayu's heart. The super military situation has been sent back to Runing, but the emperor who lives in Runing is killing people.

The emperor suspected that someone had poisoned her for a long time, so he questioned all the officials in the early court, as long as someone confessed to the matter, he would only kill him. If no one confessed, all the officials would sit together.

No one could describe the scene in the Tai Chi Hall at that time, all the ministers were dumbfounded, how could they have heard such absurd things in the court for so many years?But the emperor's sickly expression was strange, which was very disturbing.

Bo Lan stepped forward to persuade the emperor, and when the emperor saw that this person was an eyesore, he sneered and said good-bye to you, Bo Lan, who dared to show up.

The first unlucky one was the Bo family.

A bunch of things that Bo Lan and Changsun Wu didn't know before had weighed heavily on Li Yanyi's mind, making her suspicious and disappointed.Now that Bo Lan dared to come up with sweet words, she was immediately thrown into prison and interrogated severely.

Bo Lan was sent to the deep prison without saying anything, and she was tortured for half a day, but she couldn't confess anything, but she confessed to half her life.

The news reported back to Li Yanyi said that this person was very stubborn and refused to reveal anything about the poisoning.

Li Yanyi ordered the arrest of more than 600 members of the Bo family for overnight interrogation. She wanted to know who was Wei Tingxu's lackey, who approached her with the trust of the emperor, and poisoned her!

The Bo family interrogated the Zuo family, and the Zuo family arrested the Lin family if they failed to confess.More than [-] people from Bo Zuolin's three major families were imprisoned overnight. In addition to the direct family members, all side branches and domestic slaves were also spared.

Only those closest to him have the chance to poison the emperor. Li Yanyi hated the traitor and the person who worked hand in hand with Wei Tingxu.

This person must be found out, cramp and bone.

When the fourth year of Zhaowu was about to end, wars continued in the north, and several cities were destroyed one after another.After being suppressed for too long, the rushing Jin army broke through the city, burned, killed, looted, brutally slaughtered the city, hung the head of the city to show their achievements, and wrapped their ears around their waists to compete for who is the hero who slaughtered the city.

And because the poisoning case was not found after all, the prisons in Runing were full and the capital was shocked, and other people in the court who were still alive took leave and fled.

It is not that no one is guilty.

Buying a person's life for 100 taels of silver is not a rare event.

It's just that the emperor who is sometimes manic and sometimes sober is not so easy to fool.Someone came to plead guilty, Li Yanyi asked him to explain the process of poisoning in detail, as long as he told a half lie, he would only end up as Ling Chi.

The gentry in Beijing gradually could not withstand the high pressure, and sent five or six people to confess their crimes, all of whom were sentenced to death, and no one dared to come again after that.

A letter of urgent military information was sent to the Taiji Hall, but Li Yanyi was so drowsy that she couldn't read any of the words in front of her eyes.

Empress Dowager Geng was on fire.

The imperial doctor said that the toxicity of "Buddha chanting mantras" will make people manic and restless, and their temperament will change drastically. Li Yanyi's actions during this period have chilled the hearts of all those who are willing to stand by her side.Especially the tragic ending of the three major families, the Bo Zuo family was exiled by the Zhu Lin family, and everyone saw these things.

After so many years of hard work and step by step, he finally ascended to the throne. All the innovations and efforts made, all the great ambitions, are not enough to make up for the mistakes made in just a few days.

Li Yanyi has already reached the edge of the cliff, without being pushed by others, she may fall down by herself and be smashed to pieces.At this time, Chongjin had reached the edge of Runing City.Dayu's main force had also been defeated long ago, and now all those resisting the Hu thieves were private soldiers from the gentry from all over the place.These gentry clans were also extremely restless. After hearing of the turmoil in Runing, various forces that had been dormant for a long time began to raise their heads one after another.

Empress Dowager Geng asked the imperial doctor for medicine, and asked the imperial doctor how to relieve the emperor's poison and restore the emperor's sanity.The imperial doctor shook his head with a bitter expression on his face:

"If it is discovered early, there may be medicine to relieve it, now..."

"How is it now!"

"I'm afraid it will only get worse."

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Geng fell to the ground and burst into tears. Several little Huangmen tried to persuade her for a long time, but they couldn't persuade her to come.

"If the sky wants to destroy my Huaichen, why did it give the mandate of heaven? Let my son suffer all this, and leave a bad name to be scolded by all generations!" Empress Dowager Geng cried, "Who is it! Who is harming my Huaichen!"

The imperial garden path is the way out of the palace.

A man in gray and blue low-grade yellow clothes walked out quickly with his head bowed.

When he reached the door, he took out the talisman, and when the guard was about to let him through, there was a coughing sound behind him.

"Where is You Changshi going?"

The man stopped in his tracks and didn't look back immediately.

When the guard saw the emperor, he immediately knelt down and saluted, and then the Huangmen slowly turned around and looked at Li Yanyi.

Li Yanyi was wearing casual clothes, her body was as thin as paper, and her body was emaciated. Her eyes, which had been chaotic for many days, were still enveloped by the dark poisonous gas, and it was very difficult to even open them. It was still as sharp as an arrow when he was serving You.

Attendant You Chang bowed and saluted: "Return to Your Majesty, my servant's mother is seriously ill, and I have already asked the Queen Mother for instructions. This servant will go back to my hometown to see my mother for the last time."

"Oh? My mother is seriously ill. It's really filial piety." Li Yanyi was followed by three moon chasing soldiers with knives, coughing and approaching You Changshi, "If You Changshi's mother can still feel it under the nine springs, it must be Be very touched."

You Changshi stood there motionless, as if he didn't hear Li Yanyi's words.

"You didn't poison the widow's daily food, but you found a way so that the widow would not have the extra energy to judge whether the food is poisonous when he is in a bad mood." Li Yanyi looked at the sky, "Speak more clearly , the place where you poisoned was not in Xiashou Palace, but in Guang'an Palace, the empress dowager's bedroom. You, You Chang, have always served the Empress Dowager's food, and you are the one who tested the poison. The number of times I go to Guang'an Palace is limited. , You also have skills in the dose of poison. Every time you go to Guang'an Palace, the Empress Dowager will urge you to ask about the future, distracting everyone's attention, and because it is the Empress Dowager, the people in the palace will be less prepared than usual. The entrance of the poison, You didn't notice it at all. You Changshi, you didn't leave Ru Ning with the Wei family that day, but you still stayed in Runing to pass the letter to her. This courage is admirable."

You Changshi still didn't say a word, but the corners of his eyes were slightly upturned, and a smile appeared from the corner of his mouth.

"This poison is indeed ruthless enough to destroy the widow's reputation forever." Li Yanyi looked at the setting sun in the sky and smiled weakly.

A generation.

You Changshi died in prison, Li Yanyi kept awake for two days, and after dispatching soldiers and horses to resist the approaching army, he fell into an uncontrollable violent mood.As long as she wants to destroy everything that appears in front of her eyes, she can't control her extreme emotions at all.

The country is crumbling, but she is terminally ill and powerless.

Ah Xin wanted to see her several times, but she refused.

"Your Majesty... Mrs. Xin has been waiting outside for a day and a night."

More than half of the Moon Chasing Army who had followed Li Yanyi had died, leaving only Ah Yin.

Li Yanyi regained some sanity and collapsed behind the desk like a puddle of mud.

Hearing Ah Xin's name, warm tears flowed from the corners of Li Yanyi's eyes.

"Let her go...go!"

Ah Yin could only obey.

Ah Yin was about to leave, but Li Yanyi suddenly called her back.

"lamp."

Ah Yin: "?"

"Light the lamp for the widow."

A Yin glanced at the floor lamp that was emitting a blazing light, she was extremely surprised, but she didn't dare to say anything, she pretended to go up to check and said: "There is no more kerosene, I will go and add it."

Li Yanyi didn't know what he was thinking, and whispered a person's name.

A Yin didn't hear clearly.

"...Now, she is the only one, cough cough...Keep it, Hu thief. Zhen Wenjun..." Li Yanyi propped himself up, "Go and find Zhen Wenjun. Tell her, use the head of the leader of Chongjin to exchange, In exchange for her mother's life!"
