snowstorm

Xie Qiao stayed in the Taimiao for a whole night. On the second day, he opened the gate and stepped out. Xu Lai quickly took his cloak to meet him.

At this time, Tianzi's eyes were blue and white, his eyes were bloodshot, his lips were covered with dry skin, and messy stubble appeared on his chin. He was in a mess.

The snow stopped today, and the high platform of the Taimiao was covered in silver, and the sky reflected the snow. When Xie Qiao went out, his eyes were so sore that he could hardly see clearly.He raised his hand to cover his eyes, and when his eyes got used to it, he ordered lightly, "Go back to the palace."

Xu Lai quickly followed, and wanted to support the weak emperor, but Xie Qiao broke away from his hand, and stepped on the snow step by step, walking firmly.

As soon as he arrived at the study, Xie Qiao ordered Xu Lai to draw up the decree.

"Great victory at Yanguan, Chen Ling made a great contribution, bestowed a thousand taels of gold, and added loyalty. Zheng Fei supervised the army for his meritorious service, and gave him a thousand taels of gold. He ordered those who transported the coffin of General Lu Jue to walk slowly, and entered the city secretly on the second day after the army returned to the court. .” Xie Qiao said these words lightly, expressionless.After Xu Lai finished writing, he looked at the Son of Heaven and saw the emptiness in his eyes, so he knew that his heart was like a knife.

But there is no way, Lu Jue died, and the military power fell into Chen Ling's hands. If he were to attack him at this time, the army would be in chaos--Xie Qiao was not afraid of Chen Ling's rebellion, the loyal soldiers brought out by Lu Jue would not rebel, but would be chaotic.Yanguan has just been taken down, and the army must not be chaotic at this time.

Xie Qiao could only hold him steady, making him feel that he had guessed what the emperor was thinking, making him think that the emperor was suspicious of Lu Jue, and the emperor wanted Lu Jue to die.That's why Fenghou crowned him with the word loyalty.So treat Lu Jue's coffin like this.

Seeing that Xu Lai had finished writing, Xie Qiao continued: "They should be on the way to class teacher at this time, you send someone to send them there quickly."

"Yes." Xu Lai took the imperial decree and was about to go down to give orders, when Xie Qiao said again: "You tell Ye Ting to prepare a feast. When the army's troops return to the court, they must hold a banquet in the palace to reward this great victory." The heroes, especially General Chen and Zheng Jianjun." The last sentence was word for word.

After Xu Lai went over the words, he immediately realized what the emperor was going to do.He knelt down suddenly and begged: "Your Majesty, you can't do this!"

Lu Jue died at the hands of Chen Ling and Zheng Fei. At this time, only the emperor knew that they did a clean job, and Lu Jue's generals would not be able to find evidence even if they suspected it.What's more, this matter itself is related to the emperor, so it must not be thoroughly investigated.Chen Ling was sent by the emperor. He participated in the battle and now holds the military power. The courtiers knew that he was going to share the credit, so he was a hero.

In this case, as soon as the army returned from the squadron, the emperor would poison and kill the heroes at the celebration banquet. Whether it was courtiers or people in the world who did not know the truth, they would be chilled, and rumors would spread, leaving the emperor in a passive position.

"Your Majesty, even if you want...to avenge Master Lu, you must not do it right now!" Xu Lai knelt on the ground and persuaded him earnestly.

"Xu Lai, I'm the master of the world. I know what I'm doing, what I should do, and what I'm going to do. Hurry up and pass on the decree, don't say more." Xie Qiao said coldly, then sat down. Hands turned away.

"Yes. Slave complies with the order." Xu Lai had no choice but to salute and exit the hall with a sob.

After Xu Lai left, Xie Qiao was the only one left in the hall.He stared straight at the "Great Shengjiang Mountain Picture" hanging on the front wall. The picture was a little yellowed, and it seemed that someone often touched it.

This is the relic of his elder brother. When he was young, his elder brother and Lu Jue pointed out to him where is Jinling, the capital of the country, and where are the six counties of Yanguan, which were lost to the enemy.Tell him how long the road from Jinling to Yanguan is, how long it takes, what mountains to cross, and what rivers to cross.Explain to him the customs and customs of each county in Yanguan and even the vegetation of the river.

"Qiaoer, my brother even dreamed of iron horses and ice rivers. He swore an oath in front of his ancestors alone. If he didn't take back Yanguan, he would be in vain as the king of Dasheng and the descendants of Xie's family. Even if he spilled blood on the battlefield, he would surely I want to take back my Dasheng land and take back my Dasheng people!" His elder brother is handsome, vigorous and vigorous, his eyes were shining brightly when he said these words, Xie Qiao seemed to really see it in those eyes. To the Jin Ge Iron Horse Wanli Glacier thousands of miles away.

Xie Qiao looked at his brother, and Lu Jue also looked at the emperor.Xie Qiao glanced at Lu Jue secretly, and saw that when Lu Jue looked at the emperor, his eyes were filled with admiration that he would follow to the death, and the brilliance was like the sun in the sky.

"Brother," Xie Qiao stroked the painting with his hands: "You have prepared for three years, and I have prepared for seven years. Ten years, your ambition, Lu Jue has completed it for you today.

"Qiaoer will avenge Lu Jue. After Chen Ling and Zheng Fei die, Qiaoer will write a letter of guilt and reveal everything to the world."

"Lu Jue is a great hero who is destined to leave his name in the annals of history. He can't die in ignorance. As for Qiaoer, I will leave it to future generations to judge whether it is good or bad. Qiaoer doesn't care. When the future comes to the underground, Qiaoer will go to you and him Even if I go down to the [-]th level of hell and cannot escape, I will have no complaints or regrets."

……

In December of the seventh year of Dasheng Huangping, the army returned to the court.

The whole country celebrated, and when they saw the flags of the army, the emperor personally walked three miles outside Jinling City to meet them.

Jinling City was full of voices and laughter.Careful people also found that Yanguan was victorious, except for the leading generals who were all happy, and the soldiers of the army were all mournful.

That night, the emperor held a banquet in the palace. At the banquet, the general Chen Ling was poisoned, and the three-foot white silk was given to the supervisor Zheng Fei in the harem.

On the second day, Lu Jue's coffin entered the city, and the emperor greeted him in plain onyx.He also issued an edict of sin against himself, shaking the government and the public, and the whole country mourned.

……

Lu Mansion was full of plain cries and the lights were brightly lit. Xie Qiao saw Lu Jue's coffin in front of the mourning hall.

Xu Lai cleaned up the people in the mourning hall. Although the Lu family resented the emperor, they obeyed.Only the bodies of Xie Qiao and Lu Jue remained in the mourning hall.

He just lay there quietly.

His eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his hands were covered with chilblains.

Shaped pins stand.

In less than half a year, Xie Qiao didn't know how he became so thin.No wonder, Chen Ling killed him with an arrow.

Xie Qiao had a guess in his heart, so he went up to strip off his clothes that were as cold as his body.

Unsurprisingly, he was covered in bruises.Arrow wounds and knife wounds are densely covered, because of the death, the wounds are bruised and hideous.

That night, he looked at his body by candlelight, and there were injuries, but there were definitely not so many.

The emperor dropped a tear on the corpse, but the corpse did not warm up.

……

Seeing Xie Qiao coming out, Xu Lai who was guarding the door was about to go up to him.

"His Majesty!"

Xu Lai suddenly stepped forward to support the fallen emperor, who leaned on him, panting for a while, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.The moonlight filled the plain white courtyard, and Xu Lai's trembling hands were covered with warm blood. The appearance of the emperor made him anxious and painful, and a tear flowed down—this was the emperor he had served for more than ten years... …

……

In the 17th year of Huangchu, after Lu Jue, Marquis of Dingguo, took the six prefectures of Yanguan for seven years, the country was prosperous and the people were peaceful, Haiyan and Heqing were peaceful, and the world was peaceful. The Dasheng Emperor Xie Qiao died in Jinling, the capital of the country.Emperor Ming was guilty of having no concubine and no sons. When he was in power, he established the son of the clan as the prince.

The country is still there, but the old man is gone.The rivers and rivers flow forever, and heroes and emperors are all fly ash loess.
