How to Raid the Queen
Chapter 77 The End
After all, it was a marriage in the palace. After picking up someone from the Tao Mansion, the two went directly to the palace.When they went to the ancestral temple to offer incense, Jing Wenhao did not show up, after all, Concubine Qi was expelled from the imperial status at the beginning.Even if it was a routine offering of incense and offering sacrifices to the ancestors, the one who worshiped was also his queen mother.
The most indispensable thing in the palace is the red tape. By the time Jing Wenzhao finally took the man to the wedding room, it was almost noon.The two had just sat in the room when their stomachs rang together.
"Did you eat?" The two asked at the same time, smiled at the same time, and shook their heads.One can't wait to marry, and the other wants to marry after a long time, so there's no time to worry about eating.
After all, Jing Wenzhao couldn't bear Tao Xianzhi's hunger, so he got up and went to the kitchen, trying to find something delicious for him.Fortunately, a wedding banquet is going to be held tonight. In this kitchen, the cooks start to work early in the morning, and there are quite a lot of ready-made food at this time.After carefully choosing some food according to the tastes of the people in the room, Jing Wenzhao returned to the room.
"Let's put on the bar first. It's still a long time. We both have to drink a lot tonight. Later, I'll have someone replace all the wine in your jug with water, and you can just pretend."
Tao Xianzhi sat down obediently, all the food on the plate was his favorite food, he didn't have to be picky, he ate naturally.Suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked Jing Wenzhao, "Do you have any wine?"
"Why do you ask this? Is it true that you are addicted to drinking?" Jing Wenzhao has always disliked Tao Xianzhi's drinking, especially after seeing him help Xie Xuan drink with his boldness last time, he felt even more uncomfortable.Such a gentle person should be raised in the mansion by himself, how could he be willing to let him drink so much.
"It's not alcohol addiction." Tao Xianzhi blushed slightly, "You are leaving at night, I think, I want to have a bridal chamber with you in advance."
Jing Wenzhao was slightly lost in thought, only to realize that tonight is the day of separation.Following Tao Xianzhi's wishes, he gave orders to outsiders, and a servant brought in a jug of wine and put it on the table.
There were still two hours before they arrived at the worship hall, Jing Wenzhao dismissed everyone, and sat in front of the bed with Tao Xianzhi.He got up and went to the table to pour two glasses of Hejiu wine, and gave it to the person on the bed. He also took a glass of wine and sat back on the bed.
He stretched out his hand, made an inviting gesture, and said, "After drinking this glass of wine, you will be mine."
Tao Xianzhi blushed, and still held up the glass of wine, bypassing Jing Wenzhao's hand. Both of them were a little excited. When their hands were wrapped around each other, both of them trembled, their necks were slightly tilted back, and the wine glass was empty. .Jing Wenzhao put away the wine glass, and saw Tao Xianzhi sitting on the bed, embarrassed, as if making up his mind.
He walked over gently, climbed onto the man's shoulder with one hand, lifted the broken hair around his ear with the other, and asked Tao Xianzhi in his own voice, "What's the matter?"
Half of Tao Xianzhi's body was numb, and he trembled unconsciously.Stretching his hand into his bosom, he took out a box of things, threw it in front of Jing Wenzhao, and said with some embarrassment, "I bought it at Sunrise Street, and I don't know how to use it."
Jing Wenzhao took out the well-packaged box, only to realize that it was when they went out to play a few days ago. They strayed into a balm shop. Unexpectedly, this person actually bought it back and gave it to himself.
Jing Wenzhao's last line of defense was easily breached, and he lifted the man's chin and kissed him.
Jing Wenzhao never thought that the first time he and Tao Xianzhi would be the one who took the initiative.Although the man only produced a box of balm, Tao Xianzhi was more obedient than ever afterward, he could do whatever he wanted.Even if it was the first time, the pain was excruciating, and he just bit his lips hard and kept silent.Jing Wenzhao was wary of the body of the person in his arms, so he didn't dare to make any big moves, so he prepared meticulously, being careful with every move, and finally completed the first fit.
Afterwards, Jing Wenzhao hugged Tao Xianzhi tenderly. Tao Xianzhi was a little tired from the torment, and he was too excited last night to sleep. He fell asleep as soon as he fell on the man's shoulder.Jing Wenzhao looked at Tao Xianzhi, with tears in the corners of his eyes, looking exhausted and extremely satisfied.
As the sun gradually went down, Jing Wenzhao gently shook Tao Xianzhi who was sleeping soundly.
Tao Xianzhi didn't expect that he could sleep like this at such a time, he was a little dazed, he rubbed his eyes to realize what happened just now, and wrapped himself up in embarrassment.
Jing Wenzhao didn't want to tease people, he found clothes and put them on, and then he heard the bustle outside.Jing Wenzhao called the servant girl, tidied himself up, and said to Tao Xianzhi, "You sit down first, the emperor should be coming soon, I'll go out to meet you."
As soon as he walked to the outer courtyard, Jing Wenhao appeared with Li Xi.Now Li Xi's child is more than four months old, and the whole person has been raised by Jing Wenhao, but Li Xi was too thin before, but now he is a little fatter, looks better, and the whole person is also be more comfortable.
"I've seen the emperor's brother and sister-in-law." Seeing the person coming, Jing Wenzhao hurried up to salute.
Jing Wenhao waved his hand generously, and said with a smile: "Today is your day of great joy, so you are excused. What about younger siblings? Are you ashamed that they didn't come out with you?"
Jing Wenzhao put on a smirk, and continued: "I didn't rest well yesterday, and I rested in the backyard. Brother Huang is more concerned about it. The weather is hot, brother Huang, the wife of the emperor is sitting inside, and the auspicious time is coming soon. "
Jing Wenhao took Li Xi's hand and walked inside, getting the attention of many courtiers along the way.Everyone used to say that the emperor didn't like the empress, but now, within two months, the emperor brought the empress to attend the two big weddings, and waited on them carefully, lest the empress might feel uncomfortable at all.Thinking about the past few months, the only two concubines in the palace are all gone, and now I hear that the emperor is running to the queen every day.What's not to like about this?This is obviously painful to the bone.
Not long after the two were seated, the auspicious time arrived.He brought Jing Wenzhao and Tao Xianzhi out to salute, another ceremony.During this period, Jing Wenzhao was always afraid that Tao Xianzhi would be too tired to support him, so he stayed with others and asked others to rely on him for help.
The worship service had just ended, and when both of them hadn't returned to their room, someone suddenly came looking for Li Yong from outside.That was Li Yong's spy in the Chen family's barracks. On the surface, he was from the Chen family, but in fact he was looking for news for himself.The man looked heavy and said something to Li Yong.Li Yong just waved his hand to tell him not to expose himself, and hurriedly found Jing Wenhao.
Jing Wenhao was planning to take Li Xi outside to have more fun today, but as soon as he was seated, Li Yong posted it and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the people from the Chen family have been found."
"Who is it?" Jing Wenhao turned slightly sideways, talking with Li Yong.
"He's a second-class lieutenant general." Li Yong said, "Wei Chen had doubted him before. But he never showed it, and it turned out to be a mess tonight. He said that he insisted on letting him use the excuse of being drunk tonight. The soldiers in the camp went out to practice, and when he led someone out, the camp caught fire. The arsonist was arrested before he had time to kill himself, and he couldn't ask anything, but that person was his Before, our people saw him when they followed him. It’s still chaotic over there, I’m afraid I’ll have to go and have a look.”
"So be careful." Jing Wenhao ordered a few words. He had long thought that Jing Wenzhao would do some small tricks when he got married, but he didn't expect that this gesture would be done in the army, so he still felt inappropriate in his heart and was afraid of going outside. If there was any trouble again, Li Xi was still brought along, and he went back to the palace without eating two mouthfuls of the wedding banquet.
When Jing Wenhao left with his people, Jing Wenzhao went directly to the process of making a wedding.After a short commotion, Jing Wenzhao coaxed them away.
"It is estimated that they have been discovered over there, and they have already gone back. The wedding banquet outside has not yet ended, and a substitute has been found. You quickly change your clothes and follow the team that reported the news. Someone will meet you as soon as you leave the city. Don't forget the soldiers. Divide into two paths." When he was alone, Tao Xianzhi urged him.
Jing Wenzhao changed his clothes, and in his arms was a person, a skin, and a mask, which he would use when he went out to toast later. Looking at Tao Xianzhi, he couldn't bear it.
"Follow me." Jing Wenzhao grabbed Tao Xianzhi's hand, refusing to let go.
"Don't be stupid, I don't know how long it will take. I'm leaving, what about my father, what about my family?" Tao Xianzhi was afraid that Jing Wenzhao would not leave, so he was anxious on the spot, "Hurry up!" Hurry up, let's go when there are many guests."
Jing Wenzhao had no choice but to leave the door at Tao Xianzhi's urging.When the night is dark and the cups of wine are intertwined, it is the best time to go.
On the second day, "King Ying" and Princess Ying entered the palace for a meeting. Li Xi recognized "Jing Wenzhao" almost at the first glance. The person kneeling underneath was wearing a mask.
"Presumptuous." Li Xi roared, "Come here, take King Ying down."
Everyone present was stunned, but the guards still obeyed the master's wishes and restrained the King of England.
"King Ying" didn't speak, but Tao Xianzhi spoke. He looked at Li Xi firmly, his eyes were swollen without a trace of panic, and asked, "Sister-in-law, what does this mean? We just got married, so is the sister-in-law going to beat me with a stick?" Mandarin ducks won't make it."
Li Xi glanced at Jing Wenhao, asked Zhi Ling to take out the jug, poured a cup on the face of "King Ying", the mask on the man's face began to melt, and the corners and corners were fluffed, Li Xi said Then he looked at Tao Xianzhi and said, "What do you mean by Ben Gong? Concubine Ying?"
When Jing Wenhao saw the scene in front of him, he had a flash of inspiration and realized that last night was a trick.Jing Wenzhao deliberately had people light a fire in Chen Yingzhong, in order to distract them, and when Li Yong took his people away and he brought Li Xi back to the palace, Jing Wenzhao was able to take advantage of the chaos and escape.
"Presumptuous." Jing Wenhao threw the teacup angrily, and the tea splashed out, just scalding Tao Xianzhi. "You are really not afraid of doing this, did I do it with Tao Xiang?"
Tao Xianzhi looked coldly and didn't look at Jing Wenhao, and said to himself: "I don't know anything, please ask the emperor to look into it."
Jing Wenhao was furious, and said: "Come here, take these two people down and put them in the dungeon. Xuan Liyong, Xie Xuan enters the palace to see you."
The two were imprisoned, and Jing Wenhao comforted Li Xi with a few words so that he could stay in the hall, and then went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.Jing Wenzhao's work is not as well-known as Jing Wenxi's, but it is precisely this that has caused so many troubles.After Jing Wenzhao escaped, and he didn't have any evidence of rebellion, he really couldn't think of any crime to punish him, after all, he was his own brother.
Xie Xuan and Li Yong came quickly after receiving the announcement.As soon as they arrived in the palace, they realized that such things had happened, and they all regretted it, saying that they were careless last night.Jing Wenhao did not blame him, after all, even he himself thought that as long as the two were tied together, Jing Wenzhao would not abandon Tao Xianzhi no matter what.Who would have thought that he actually ran away alone on the wedding night.
"Your Majesty, now you have to issue an order quickly and chase after him layer by layer, hoping to stop it." When Li Yong thought that the incident last night was caused by an accident in his own camp, he felt guilty and uneasy.
"My lord, please lead your troops to pursue him immediately."
Xie Xuan thought for a moment and said: "The only ones who went out of the city last night were the welcoming team brought by the palace. They said they were going back to the southwest to announce the good news. If he wanted to leave, he must have mixed with those people. But after leaving the city, if he wants to go to the southwest , the land route is definitely not as fast as the water route, if we want to pursue, I am afraid that the troops will be divided into two groups."
"Okay, this way, Li Yong, take two teams and set off immediately, change to the fastest horse to pursue, if you can catch him, leave him alive. If he resists, kill him on the spot." Jing Wenhao got off suddenly determined.Before, I was worried about catching thieves and catching dirt, so I waited and endured, but let people run away instead.Anyway, Jing Wenzhao has a different intention, so it's better to just get rid of it, so as to save more nights and dreams.Even if people in this world say that he is violent, so what, as long as Da Qi is in his hands, the common people can live and work in peace and contentment. After a hundred years, who will remember that he killed two brothers.
Li Yong took his orders, and immediately went back to order people and set off on the road.
In the past few days, Xie Xuan had nothing else to do, and the order Jing Wenhao gave was to interrogate Tao Xianzhi.When he was studying in Beijing, he knew Tao Xianzhi's reputation. That person was a companion for the eldest prince in the palace, and he had read two of the articles he wrote, so he felt a bit of sympathy.Helpless, the two are in opposing positions at this time, and all sympathy can only be left behind.Xie Xuan has never met such a stubborn person. It has been five days, and for five days, he has used all means of coercion and temptation, but he can't get a word out of that person's mouth.
That night, Tao Xianzhi had just been beaten, and was covered in wounds, lying bloodied on the straw mat in the prison.Xie Xuan came to see him, asked someone to bring him a basin of water, and gave him a bottle of golden sore medicine.
When Tao Xianzhi saw Xie Xuan, he knew why he came, but in the end, he wanted to tidy up himself.He got up, twisted the veil, washed and wiped his exposed wounds.
"Brother Tao, I know your temperament, and I also know that it is impossible to ask something out of your mouth now. However, I still want to ask, why bother?" Xie Xuan is a person who cherishes talents, Seeing Tao Xianzhi tortured into such a state, he was still shocked.
"Thank you brother for the water and medicine. Thank you brother for your kindness. I will never forget it." Tao Xianzhi cupped his hands and thanked Xie Xuan. "Others may not believe this, but I think Brother Xie must understand. Brother Xie asked me a question. Now, I will return the question to Brother Xie. If Li Zhiyuan is the one who fled today, what would you do, Brother Xie?" ?”
Xie Xuan was stunned for a long time, tried to put himself into that role, but still failed, he didn't know what he would do, but he knew what Li Zhiyuan wanted to do, even if there was an abyss ahead, he would accompany him.Xie Xuan stood in prison for a long time, finally sighed and left.
After a few more days like this, Jing Wenzhao finally escaped and returned to his fief.During this period, Li Yong chased him closely. If it wasn't for the people from Nanjiang who were here to support him, he might really not be able to come back.However, he came back, but his heart was hanging in the middle of the capital. Tao Xianzhi's life would be difficult if he left.After staying in the palace for two full days, my hair wanted to turn gray, but I still couldn't figure out whether I should turn back now.He was afraid, he was really afraid, that Tao Xianzhi was now in the hands of his imperial brother.Until the third day when he returned to the southwest, he received a letter.Looking at the envelope, he knew it was written by Tao Xian, and then opened it to check the date, and found that this letter was sent out a few days before they got married, but the journey was a bit slow and it arrived today.
When Jing Wenzhao saw Tao Xianzhi's letter, he wasn't surprised at all, but felt a little uneasy, and this uneasiness was finally confirmed in the letter.
In the middle of the night on the tenth day of Jing Wenzhao's escape, Xie Xuan went to the palace overnight to ask for an audience.
"What's the matter? You're so panicked." Jing Wenhao had already rested with Li Xi, and when he heard Xie Xuan's urgent pleading for an audience, he casually put on some clothes.
"Tao Xianzhi, he, he committed suicide." Xie Xuan originally wanted to give Tao Xianzhi another medicine tonight, by the way, to persuade him. Today, the punishment for that person is too severe, who knows When I arrived, I realized that Tao Xianzhi had already killed himself by biting his tongue. When he arrived, the man was completely out of breath.
Jing Wenhao frowned, his hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and after a long while, he said indifferently: "When the list is released, it is said that the king of England rebelled, and the princess committed suicide in fear of crime."
The stick was released on the second day, the day Jing Wenzhao received Tao Xianzhi's letter.After reading the letter, Jing Wenzhao wept bitterly.No one had ever seen Jing Wenzhao lose his composure like this before, so no one dared to dissuade him.Jing Wenzhao reread the letter over and over again. In the letter, Tao Xianzhi told him to conspire with the king of Nanjiang to send troops as soon as possible, taught him how to mediate with the king of Nanjiang, and warned him the things to pay attention to if he succeeds in raising troops .The letter was very thick, and it even listed one by one, which people on his side were available and how to use them.He just told him at the end of the letter that when he read the letter, he was already dead, and let him use his own death to send troops.
So after a whole day of pain, Jing Wenzhao contacted the royal family in southern Xinjiang on the second day, set a time to dispatch troops, and rose up.
Jing Wenzhao turned his back on the reason that the emperor killed his concubine.
Nanjiang and Jing Wenzhao's places are very close. Before that, the two sides only discussed about sending troops, but did not make any real plans.Now, according to the method Tao Xianzhi said in his letter, he sent his own people to borrow troops, and he really did.However, the condition that the King of Nanjiang offered was that he would be the coach, personally go to the capital, and behead Jing Wenhao.
Li Yong failed to catch up with Jing Wenzhao, and was stopped by the people sent by Nanjiang. When he arrived in the capital, he saw the imperial list.
Li Yong returned to the palace to face the saint, knelt on the ground, and said: "I am incompetent, I have not caught up with King Ying."
Jing Wenhao rubbed his head. When the people were sent out, he knew the result, and said, "It's okay. You can go back to the camp after you have a rest. The order has come down. I promoted you to work with Li Da." General. Jing Wenzhao has escaped, and there should be a battle soon. During this time, we have been training troops as soon as possible, just in case."
Li Yong saw that Jing Wenhao was completely different from the previous few days, his body was very hostile, as if he had just walked out of a pool of blood, with a murderous air.
Li Yong didn't dare to be negligent, he took the order to go home, changed his clothes, and went straight to the barracks with his clothes.He had just been set on fire a few days ago, and these two days are a good time to rectify. He might not be able to go home for a while.
Since the day when the imperial list was released, Jing Wenhao issued an order to strengthen the defense of each checkpoint, and asked Li Da to arrange for his subordinates to send out many advance troops, fearing that Jing Wenzhao would suddenly attack and could not defend this side, but Unexpectedly, before his men arrived, Jing Wenzhao's side would raise troops.Jing Wenzhao was guarding the southwest side, and Nanjiang borrowed troops from him, so he opened the city gate and let the troops from Nanjiang come in, and the people of Nanjiang expanded without restraint, directly extending their hands to both sides of Jing Wenzhao's territory, closing in Went down to Binzhou.In ten days and so on, three cities were taken down one after another.
Jing Wenhao's face turned green when he received the military report in Beijing.People in southern Xinjiang are good at using formations. In their last life, they sent Li Yong to fight for a long time before they were able to defeat them.Now that the military power struggle between these two sides has just been withdrawn, whichever one is sent to the past, I am afraid that it will lose a lot.When Li Yong heard the military report, he had requested three orders in one day to lead troops to recover the rivers and mountains, but Jing Wenhao stopped them all.After thinking about it again and again, Jing Wenhao still sent Li Da out. Li Da took the army to rest for a few days, and the general had enough money and food before he set off and rushed to the front line overnight.The southwestern land was originally a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Jing Wenzhao made such a fuss, and the army in the southern border was invincible for a while.Even if Li Da arrived with his people, he suffered several defeats in a row, and it took about a month to trap the southern Xinjiang army in Changzhou, ten miles away from Gufeng Pass.
When Li Da led the people to rest, he realized that the king of Nanjiang was not only fighting, but also punishing his heart.The king of Southern Border was warlike, and he always played by himself in battles. He was absolutely unambiguous. In addition, there was the prince of Daqi sitting in charge, his morale was high, and he clamored every day to invade the capital.And someone in the city released the news, saying that the emperor had suffered repeated defeats and was no longer planning to control them. If the land was ceded to pay compensation, they would be the first to die.It is said that everyone in this city will have to go to southern Xinjiang to be slaves at that time, so it is better to surrender now.
Li Da was furious, and took advantage of the time when Beijing was recuperating, he arrested the local county magistrate and asked him to find out where the rumors started. As a result, the county magistrate had just been punished the day before, and the people in the city changed the next day. He made a statement, saying that the generals sent by the court would only vent their anger on the people. It seems that the emperor is really planning to give up this place.
Li Da was in a hurry, but luckily there was a military division following him, persuading him.The unannounced investigation finally found the Nanjiang people who sneaked into the city to spread rumors and shake the morale of the army, but the rumors were told a hundred times, and the false ones became true. For a while, people here panicked.Li Da had no choice but to write a military report to Jing Wenhao.
When the army reported for duty, Jing Wenhao was discussing matters with Li Yong.After receiving the military report, he immediately frowned.
"Your Majesty, is that General Li?" Li Yong asked tentatively.
Jing Wenhao rubbed the center of his eyebrows with one hand, and handed the general newspaper to Li Yong with the other hand, "Look at it."
General Li Yong received the newspaper, read it carefully, and frowned. "The King of Southern Xinjiang's imperial conquest, together with the King of England and the two of them, are sitting in front of the battle. This situation is indeed not conducive to General Li."
"Right now, I have lost the hearts of the people. How do you treat it?"
"This time is a big battle. If possible, it would be best to have someone from the royal family lead the battle, but now..."
"Now my uncles are all old and weak, and the only one who is strong and strong was executed by me some time ago. Besides, one of my brothers was killed by me, and the other turned against me and went to the enemy's army. I have no children, I can't even send a prince there."
"Your Majesty, why don't you let the ministers lead the army there, how can I still be regarded as an uncle and relative of the emperor?" Li Yong suggested.
"Forget it, their target is Zhen, what's the use of you going?" Jing Wenhao sipped his tea, "Besides, if there is a fight in the south, the barbarians above may not be able to stay idle. If you don't stay here and sit in command, the superior I'm afraid it will come down at any time."
"But your majesty, the imperial conquest..."
"Okay, do you have a better way?" Jing Wenhao sighed, "After I leave, I will hand over the big seal to Li Xi. Xie Xuan will help him handle the usual affairs, and you will be left with the rest." Come on. I am only afraid that he will be unsafe, so you must ensure that he is safe."
"Your majesty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to go like this. Besides, the queen..."
"Don't be afraid, this time I will take Liu Jin with the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army. There are also hidden guards, I will take half of them away, and you can help me choose them. Li Xi's side, I will tell you in person, but you, after I leave, you So I brought all the members of the Li family to live in the palace, so he must be at ease."
When Li Yong left the palace, Jing Wenhao went to the Zhiran Hall, and when he returned, Li Xi had already fallen asleep on the soft chair.Jing Wenhao had someone cut open the ice cellar early on, and now there are not many palaces in this palace that are qualified to use ice. For the other cases, Jing Wenhao gave all of them to Li Xi, so even if it is midsummer, the palace of Zhiran The temperature is like in spring.It was still a bit cold to lie like this, Li Xi put a thin blanket on her body, and slept soundly.Li Xi's body is almost six months old, and her belly is also swollen. In the past two days, she has grown fast.Jing Wenhao gently put his hand on it, and touched Li Xi's stomach, Li Xi moved slightly, a little dazed, woke up, and took Jing Wenhao's hand.
"The emperor is back."
"Well, how many times have I told you that you have to go back to bed when you're sleepy, and you don't listen to what you say." What Jing Wenhao cares most about these days is Li Xi's body. Li Xi vomited up whatever he ate, and became thinner a lot.
"No way. Why did the emperor come back so early today?"
"Li Xi, I have something to talk to you about." Jing Wenhao sat on the soft chair and held Li Xi in his arms.
Li Xi's heart tightened, every time Jing Wenhao called his name, nothing good happened.
"During this period on the front line, the situation is not very good. I have to go to the conquest. When I leave, I will draw up an imperial decree and leave the big seal to you. Don't worry, if there is anything you don't understand about state affairs, go to Xie Xuan. Other things Leave it all to your brother. After a few days, they will all move into the palace to accompany you."
"I don't want it. Whoever wants your big seal, you take it with you." Li Xi's face darkened, "What do I want yours to do, you take me there."
"Stop making trouble, be obedient." Jing Wenhao hugged the person in his arms hard, "You don't have any other meaning to give you a big seal, I'm leaving, there must be someone in charge here, right? You stay here , I promise you, before the child is born, I will definitely come back, okay? Besides, you have a big belly, how can you follow the army? Do you still want to give birth to our child?"
Li Xi was not happy, but he knew that he couldn't stop it, even though Jing Wenhao coaxed him carefully for several days, Li Xi still turned pale.It wasn't until the night before Jing Wenhao was leaving that Li Xi gave Jing Wenhao a box of things.
"It's dangerous to go to the southern border. They are good at using various poisons. I always feel uneasy. Take this medicine with you. No matter what strange poisons you have, as long as you take it in time, it will keep you safe for the time being." Li Xi After finishing speaking, he turned over and fell asleep facing inward. Jing Wenhao was about to leave, and he was reluctant.
On the second day, Jing Wenhao had to set off early in the morning. Li Xi stayed up all night, and got up early the next day. He followed Jing Wenhao, watched him wear armor, and watched him burn incense and make oaths. The army raised its arms and shouted, and then went out of the city gate.Li Xi was not willing to leave, and stood on the tower until he could see nothing, but he was still reluctant to go back, and he waited until Li Yong came to persuade him, then Li Xi listened and returned to Zhiran Hall.
Jing Wenhao didn't pay much attention to the matter of Yujia's personal conquest, he didn't take the initiative to bring it up before, but he was worried that Li Xi was now heavy, and he was worried about being alone in the palace.Although Li Yong led people to fight for a long time in his previous life, it was only because the people in Southern Border were good at changing formations and using poison. Coincidentally, Li Yong was an enthusiastic recorder. Every formation he encountered in his previous life was How to fight every battle and every checkpoint, Li Yong wrote it down in the military newspaper.These things are all imprinted in his mind now, not to mention retreating to the southern border, if he is allowed to lead the troops, it is no problem to take the southern border.
Jing Wenhao and his team rushed to Gufengguan within a few days.The military newspaper just arrived yesterday, and Jing Wenhao arrived today. For a while, the local officials were terrified and almost cried to pick them up. "The emperor arrived, and the ministers were not prepared. The crime deserves ten thousand deaths, and the sin deserves ten thousand deaths."
Jing Wenhao had no intention of talking to them, the first thing he did was to let Li Da catch the man from southern Xinjiang who was spreading rumors, take him to Caishikou, and behead him himself.The common people were relieved to see such a decisive emperor standing in front of them.For a while, the morale of the army was high, and everyone was full of fighting spirit and wanted to fight back.
On the night Jing Wenhao arrived, he sent people to buy dozens of pigs, cattle and sheep in Changzhou, and slaughtered them all that night to comfort the armed forces.The soldiers who hadn't seen meat for almost a month were all extremely excited.While everyone was eating heartily, Jing Wenhao stood on the martial arts arena in the army, brought everyone a bowl of wine, and swore an oath to the army.Seeing such a scene, Li Da burst into tears with excitement, and thanked God very much for giving him a wise master.
After that day, Jing Wenhao didn't send troops in a hurry, but relied on the memory of his previous life and Li Da's experience of this month, exchanged and worked out a set of tactics, and brought the formations he could think of day by day. Let the soldiers practice again.During this period, there were many southern Xinjiang troops who came to provoke, but Jing Wenhao ordered the small troops to beat them back, but they did not pursue them.
Until the [-]th day, Jing Wenhao felt that it was time. He assembled the army early in the morning, opened a pot of wine in the camp, and shouted at the commander-in-chief: "Generals and soldiers of the Great Qi, now that the enemy is at hand, who would like to fight?" Fight me?"
These days Jing Wenhao has the same board and lodging as the soldiers, and won the unanimous favor of the soldiers. As soon as he said this, the soldiers below cheered one after another.
"I am willing."
"I am willing."
"I am willing."
......
Jing Wenhao drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, threw the bowl as an order, and set off with his army Haohao Tangtang.
The whole team had made long-term preparations for this battle, so much so that the Southern Xinjiang army was powerless to fight back.Southern Xinjiang seized three cities in ten days, and Jing Wenhao led his army to take them back in twenty days when the three cities were easy to defend and difficult to attack.Not only that, but also went all the way south, directly hitting southern Xinjiang.
The King of Southern Xinjiang was retreating one after another, and the Huaiyin Mountain that used to protect Southern Xinjiang was now completely taken by Jing Wenhao.Even though they kept changing their formations, they were all cracked by Jing Wenhao. Seeing that Nanjiang was about to lose security, the king of Nanjiang panicked and sent envoys to sue for peace.
When the peace appeal letter was received, it had been more than three months since Jing Wenhao came out, and he was unwilling to fight.He is very clear about his own army. It looks invincible, but it is actually opportunistic.If you insist on taking down Southern Border now, the damage will definitely be great.What's more, it has been several months since he came out, and now Li Xi might be about to give birth, so he has to rush back to stay with Li Xi.Even so, Jing Wenhao still put forward a harsh negotiation condition.The border was redrawn, and all three cities south of Huaiyin Mountain were handed over to Daqi.
The king of Nanjiang was very angry, but he had no choice but to think that Jing Wenhao was like a god-man, so he had no choice but to retreat and sign the letter of surrender.As for Jing Wenzhao, he was directly drugged out and sent outside Jing Wenhao's camp as a gesture of sincerity.
Four months later, the two brothers met again, but one had already become a prisoner.
Jing Wenzhao woke up, his whole body was tied up, and when he took a closer look, he saw Jing Wenhao. "Oh, you really shouldn't trust these people from southern Xinjiang. Why, didn't you kill me when I fell asleep just now, and you want to see me laugh?"
Jing Wenhao shook his head and said, "I don't care about your jokes. I just want to know why you and your mother are dissatisfied, thinking about rebelling every day? Isn't it good to be a vassal with peace of mind?"
"Winners and losers, it's useless to talk about it now. You have been favored by your father since you were born, so naturally you don't know the suffering of us princes. Today I am living here, and it is all my own fault. Please, brother, give me a Have fun." Jing Wenzhao wanted to die with all his heart, but in fact, since he knew of Tao Xian's death, his desire for death had been strong, and he kept on, just because he wanted to avenge that person.
"So, I'll ask you one more question, did you kill Wanling?" The reason why Jing Wenhao kept this alive was because he wanted to confirm it for himself.
"Yes." Jing Wenzhao said bluntly, "it's just her own fault. When she went out to have a tryst with that sweetheart, she happened to break through the conspiracy between Xianzhi and Qiyue. It just so happened that Qiyue had just learned how to refine the poison and used it on her. body."
Jing Wenhao didn't want to hear any more, the fact that he was worried about two lifetimes was right in front of him, so he waved someone to take Jing Wenzhao down and executed him.
That night, Jing Wenhao revised a letter and told Li Xi that he would return to Beijing soon.
Li Xi's stomach has grown bigger and bigger since Jing Wenhao left, but she is losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.Sullen all day long, Li Zhiyuan tried his best to make him smile, but none of them were as effective as Jing Wenhao's letter from home.In the past few months, only when Li Xi received Jing Wenhao's letter would she feel more cheerful, and would eat more at meals.
When the latest letter from home was delivered to Li Xi, Li Xi cried when he saw Jing Wenhao saying that he was well and would return soon.Sobbing uncontrollably, everyone was terrified, thinking that something had happened to the emperor.Li Zhiyuan sent someone to call Li Yong over. After reading the letter from the family, Li Yong's heart sank.His younger brother probably wants to act like a baby.
It was mid-summer when Jing Wenhao left, but it had already been winter in a few months, and the location of Kyoto was a bit northerly. When Jing Wenhao reached the outskirts of Beijing, it had snowed here.
With a big belly, Li Xi thought that Jing Wenhao would be able to come back today, and was so excited that he paced back and forth in Zhiran Palace, unable to stop.The sky was getting dark gradually, Jing Wenhao hadn't come back yet, Li Xi wanted to go out and wait in a hurry, no one could stop him.
As a result, just two steps away, something happened. It snowed during the day, and it snowed heavily last night. A few maids had nothing to do and built a few snowmen on the path.Today, the snow melted during the day, and since it was on the small road, no one noticed, it happened that Li Xi stepped on it, and the road was slippery and fell down.Just like that, it started to hurt my stomach, and the palace people were terrified.Several guards carried Li Xi back to the Zhiran Palace, and the other maids and eunuchs ran to the Imperial Hospital one after another.
When the imperial physicians heard that the queen had fallen, they were terrified, took the medicine box, and asked the little maid who sent the message to find Mrs. Wen, and then rushed to Zhiran hall.
When Jing Wenhao returned to the palace, Zhiran Hall was already in chaos, Li Yong was pacing back and forth outside the hall, seeing Jing Wenhao, everyone
The most indispensable thing in the palace is the red tape. By the time Jing Wenzhao finally took the man to the wedding room, it was almost noon.The two had just sat in the room when their stomachs rang together.
"Did you eat?" The two asked at the same time, smiled at the same time, and shook their heads.One can't wait to marry, and the other wants to marry after a long time, so there's no time to worry about eating.
After all, Jing Wenzhao couldn't bear Tao Xianzhi's hunger, so he got up and went to the kitchen, trying to find something delicious for him.Fortunately, a wedding banquet is going to be held tonight. In this kitchen, the cooks start to work early in the morning, and there are quite a lot of ready-made food at this time.After carefully choosing some food according to the tastes of the people in the room, Jing Wenzhao returned to the room.
"Let's put on the bar first. It's still a long time. We both have to drink a lot tonight. Later, I'll have someone replace all the wine in your jug with water, and you can just pretend."
Tao Xianzhi sat down obediently, all the food on the plate was his favorite food, he didn't have to be picky, he ate naturally.Suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked Jing Wenzhao, "Do you have any wine?"
"Why do you ask this? Is it true that you are addicted to drinking?" Jing Wenzhao has always disliked Tao Xianzhi's drinking, especially after seeing him help Xie Xuan drink with his boldness last time, he felt even more uncomfortable.Such a gentle person should be raised in the mansion by himself, how could he be willing to let him drink so much.
"It's not alcohol addiction." Tao Xianzhi blushed slightly, "You are leaving at night, I think, I want to have a bridal chamber with you in advance."
Jing Wenzhao was slightly lost in thought, only to realize that tonight is the day of separation.Following Tao Xianzhi's wishes, he gave orders to outsiders, and a servant brought in a jug of wine and put it on the table.
There were still two hours before they arrived at the worship hall, Jing Wenzhao dismissed everyone, and sat in front of the bed with Tao Xianzhi.He got up and went to the table to pour two glasses of Hejiu wine, and gave it to the person on the bed. He also took a glass of wine and sat back on the bed.
He stretched out his hand, made an inviting gesture, and said, "After drinking this glass of wine, you will be mine."
Tao Xianzhi blushed, and still held up the glass of wine, bypassing Jing Wenzhao's hand. Both of them were a little excited. When their hands were wrapped around each other, both of them trembled, their necks were slightly tilted back, and the wine glass was empty. .Jing Wenzhao put away the wine glass, and saw Tao Xianzhi sitting on the bed, embarrassed, as if making up his mind.
He walked over gently, climbed onto the man's shoulder with one hand, lifted the broken hair around his ear with the other, and asked Tao Xianzhi in his own voice, "What's the matter?"
Half of Tao Xianzhi's body was numb, and he trembled unconsciously.Stretching his hand into his bosom, he took out a box of things, threw it in front of Jing Wenzhao, and said with some embarrassment, "I bought it at Sunrise Street, and I don't know how to use it."
Jing Wenzhao took out the well-packaged box, only to realize that it was when they went out to play a few days ago. They strayed into a balm shop. Unexpectedly, this person actually bought it back and gave it to himself.
Jing Wenzhao's last line of defense was easily breached, and he lifted the man's chin and kissed him.
Jing Wenzhao never thought that the first time he and Tao Xianzhi would be the one who took the initiative.Although the man only produced a box of balm, Tao Xianzhi was more obedient than ever afterward, he could do whatever he wanted.Even if it was the first time, the pain was excruciating, and he just bit his lips hard and kept silent.Jing Wenzhao was wary of the body of the person in his arms, so he didn't dare to make any big moves, so he prepared meticulously, being careful with every move, and finally completed the first fit.
Afterwards, Jing Wenzhao hugged Tao Xianzhi tenderly. Tao Xianzhi was a little tired from the torment, and he was too excited last night to sleep. He fell asleep as soon as he fell on the man's shoulder.Jing Wenzhao looked at Tao Xianzhi, with tears in the corners of his eyes, looking exhausted and extremely satisfied.
As the sun gradually went down, Jing Wenzhao gently shook Tao Xianzhi who was sleeping soundly.
Tao Xianzhi didn't expect that he could sleep like this at such a time, he was a little dazed, he rubbed his eyes to realize what happened just now, and wrapped himself up in embarrassment.
Jing Wenzhao didn't want to tease people, he found clothes and put them on, and then he heard the bustle outside.Jing Wenzhao called the servant girl, tidied himself up, and said to Tao Xianzhi, "You sit down first, the emperor should be coming soon, I'll go out to meet you."
As soon as he walked to the outer courtyard, Jing Wenhao appeared with Li Xi.Now Li Xi's child is more than four months old, and the whole person has been raised by Jing Wenhao, but Li Xi was too thin before, but now he is a little fatter, looks better, and the whole person is also be more comfortable.
"I've seen the emperor's brother and sister-in-law." Seeing the person coming, Jing Wenzhao hurried up to salute.
Jing Wenhao waved his hand generously, and said with a smile: "Today is your day of great joy, so you are excused. What about younger siblings? Are you ashamed that they didn't come out with you?"
Jing Wenzhao put on a smirk, and continued: "I didn't rest well yesterday, and I rested in the backyard. Brother Huang is more concerned about it. The weather is hot, brother Huang, the wife of the emperor is sitting inside, and the auspicious time is coming soon. "
Jing Wenhao took Li Xi's hand and walked inside, getting the attention of many courtiers along the way.Everyone used to say that the emperor didn't like the empress, but now, within two months, the emperor brought the empress to attend the two big weddings, and waited on them carefully, lest the empress might feel uncomfortable at all.Thinking about the past few months, the only two concubines in the palace are all gone, and now I hear that the emperor is running to the queen every day.What's not to like about this?This is obviously painful to the bone.
Not long after the two were seated, the auspicious time arrived.He brought Jing Wenzhao and Tao Xianzhi out to salute, another ceremony.During this period, Jing Wenzhao was always afraid that Tao Xianzhi would be too tired to support him, so he stayed with others and asked others to rely on him for help.
The worship service had just ended, and when both of them hadn't returned to their room, someone suddenly came looking for Li Yong from outside.That was Li Yong's spy in the Chen family's barracks. On the surface, he was from the Chen family, but in fact he was looking for news for himself.The man looked heavy and said something to Li Yong.Li Yong just waved his hand to tell him not to expose himself, and hurriedly found Jing Wenhao.
Jing Wenhao was planning to take Li Xi outside to have more fun today, but as soon as he was seated, Li Yong posted it and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the people from the Chen family have been found."
"Who is it?" Jing Wenhao turned slightly sideways, talking with Li Yong.
"He's a second-class lieutenant general." Li Yong said, "Wei Chen had doubted him before. But he never showed it, and it turned out to be a mess tonight. He said that he insisted on letting him use the excuse of being drunk tonight. The soldiers in the camp went out to practice, and when he led someone out, the camp caught fire. The arsonist was arrested before he had time to kill himself, and he couldn't ask anything, but that person was his Before, our people saw him when they followed him. It’s still chaotic over there, I’m afraid I’ll have to go and have a look.”
"So be careful." Jing Wenhao ordered a few words. He had long thought that Jing Wenzhao would do some small tricks when he got married, but he didn't expect that this gesture would be done in the army, so he still felt inappropriate in his heart and was afraid of going outside. If there was any trouble again, Li Xi was still brought along, and he went back to the palace without eating two mouthfuls of the wedding banquet.
When Jing Wenhao left with his people, Jing Wenzhao went directly to the process of making a wedding.After a short commotion, Jing Wenzhao coaxed them away.
"It is estimated that they have been discovered over there, and they have already gone back. The wedding banquet outside has not yet ended, and a substitute has been found. You quickly change your clothes and follow the team that reported the news. Someone will meet you as soon as you leave the city. Don't forget the soldiers. Divide into two paths." When he was alone, Tao Xianzhi urged him.
Jing Wenzhao changed his clothes, and in his arms was a person, a skin, and a mask, which he would use when he went out to toast later. Looking at Tao Xianzhi, he couldn't bear it.
"Follow me." Jing Wenzhao grabbed Tao Xianzhi's hand, refusing to let go.
"Don't be stupid, I don't know how long it will take. I'm leaving, what about my father, what about my family?" Tao Xianzhi was afraid that Jing Wenzhao would not leave, so he was anxious on the spot, "Hurry up!" Hurry up, let's go when there are many guests."
Jing Wenzhao had no choice but to leave the door at Tao Xianzhi's urging.When the night is dark and the cups of wine are intertwined, it is the best time to go.
On the second day, "King Ying" and Princess Ying entered the palace for a meeting. Li Xi recognized "Jing Wenzhao" almost at the first glance. The person kneeling underneath was wearing a mask.
"Presumptuous." Li Xi roared, "Come here, take King Ying down."
Everyone present was stunned, but the guards still obeyed the master's wishes and restrained the King of England.
"King Ying" didn't speak, but Tao Xianzhi spoke. He looked at Li Xi firmly, his eyes were swollen without a trace of panic, and asked, "Sister-in-law, what does this mean? We just got married, so is the sister-in-law going to beat me with a stick?" Mandarin ducks won't make it."
Li Xi glanced at Jing Wenhao, asked Zhi Ling to take out the jug, poured a cup on the face of "King Ying", the mask on the man's face began to melt, and the corners and corners were fluffed, Li Xi said Then he looked at Tao Xianzhi and said, "What do you mean by Ben Gong? Concubine Ying?"
When Jing Wenhao saw the scene in front of him, he had a flash of inspiration and realized that last night was a trick.Jing Wenzhao deliberately had people light a fire in Chen Yingzhong, in order to distract them, and when Li Yong took his people away and he brought Li Xi back to the palace, Jing Wenzhao was able to take advantage of the chaos and escape.
"Presumptuous." Jing Wenhao threw the teacup angrily, and the tea splashed out, just scalding Tao Xianzhi. "You are really not afraid of doing this, did I do it with Tao Xiang?"
Tao Xianzhi looked coldly and didn't look at Jing Wenhao, and said to himself: "I don't know anything, please ask the emperor to look into it."
Jing Wenhao was furious, and said: "Come here, take these two people down and put them in the dungeon. Xuan Liyong, Xie Xuan enters the palace to see you."
The two were imprisoned, and Jing Wenhao comforted Li Xi with a few words so that he could stay in the hall, and then went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.Jing Wenzhao's work is not as well-known as Jing Wenxi's, but it is precisely this that has caused so many troubles.After Jing Wenzhao escaped, and he didn't have any evidence of rebellion, he really couldn't think of any crime to punish him, after all, he was his own brother.
Xie Xuan and Li Yong came quickly after receiving the announcement.As soon as they arrived in the palace, they realized that such things had happened, and they all regretted it, saying that they were careless last night.Jing Wenhao did not blame him, after all, even he himself thought that as long as the two were tied together, Jing Wenzhao would not abandon Tao Xianzhi no matter what.Who would have thought that he actually ran away alone on the wedding night.
"Your Majesty, now you have to issue an order quickly and chase after him layer by layer, hoping to stop it." When Li Yong thought that the incident last night was caused by an accident in his own camp, he felt guilty and uneasy.
"My lord, please lead your troops to pursue him immediately."
Xie Xuan thought for a moment and said: "The only ones who went out of the city last night were the welcoming team brought by the palace. They said they were going back to the southwest to announce the good news. If he wanted to leave, he must have mixed with those people. But after leaving the city, if he wants to go to the southwest , the land route is definitely not as fast as the water route, if we want to pursue, I am afraid that the troops will be divided into two groups."
"Okay, this way, Li Yong, take two teams and set off immediately, change to the fastest horse to pursue, if you can catch him, leave him alive. If he resists, kill him on the spot." Jing Wenhao got off suddenly determined.Before, I was worried about catching thieves and catching dirt, so I waited and endured, but let people run away instead.Anyway, Jing Wenzhao has a different intention, so it's better to just get rid of it, so as to save more nights and dreams.Even if people in this world say that he is violent, so what, as long as Da Qi is in his hands, the common people can live and work in peace and contentment. After a hundred years, who will remember that he killed two brothers.
Li Yong took his orders, and immediately went back to order people and set off on the road.
In the past few days, Xie Xuan had nothing else to do, and the order Jing Wenhao gave was to interrogate Tao Xianzhi.When he was studying in Beijing, he knew Tao Xianzhi's reputation. That person was a companion for the eldest prince in the palace, and he had read two of the articles he wrote, so he felt a bit of sympathy.Helpless, the two are in opposing positions at this time, and all sympathy can only be left behind.Xie Xuan has never met such a stubborn person. It has been five days, and for five days, he has used all means of coercion and temptation, but he can't get a word out of that person's mouth.
That night, Tao Xianzhi had just been beaten, and was covered in wounds, lying bloodied on the straw mat in the prison.Xie Xuan came to see him, asked someone to bring him a basin of water, and gave him a bottle of golden sore medicine.
When Tao Xianzhi saw Xie Xuan, he knew why he came, but in the end, he wanted to tidy up himself.He got up, twisted the veil, washed and wiped his exposed wounds.
"Brother Tao, I know your temperament, and I also know that it is impossible to ask something out of your mouth now. However, I still want to ask, why bother?" Xie Xuan is a person who cherishes talents, Seeing Tao Xianzhi tortured into such a state, he was still shocked.
"Thank you brother for the water and medicine. Thank you brother for your kindness. I will never forget it." Tao Xianzhi cupped his hands and thanked Xie Xuan. "Others may not believe this, but I think Brother Xie must understand. Brother Xie asked me a question. Now, I will return the question to Brother Xie. If Li Zhiyuan is the one who fled today, what would you do, Brother Xie?" ?”
Xie Xuan was stunned for a long time, tried to put himself into that role, but still failed, he didn't know what he would do, but he knew what Li Zhiyuan wanted to do, even if there was an abyss ahead, he would accompany him.Xie Xuan stood in prison for a long time, finally sighed and left.
After a few more days like this, Jing Wenzhao finally escaped and returned to his fief.During this period, Li Yong chased him closely. If it wasn't for the people from Nanjiang who were here to support him, he might really not be able to come back.However, he came back, but his heart was hanging in the middle of the capital. Tao Xianzhi's life would be difficult if he left.After staying in the palace for two full days, my hair wanted to turn gray, but I still couldn't figure out whether I should turn back now.He was afraid, he was really afraid, that Tao Xianzhi was now in the hands of his imperial brother.Until the third day when he returned to the southwest, he received a letter.Looking at the envelope, he knew it was written by Tao Xian, and then opened it to check the date, and found that this letter was sent out a few days before they got married, but the journey was a bit slow and it arrived today.
When Jing Wenzhao saw Tao Xianzhi's letter, he wasn't surprised at all, but felt a little uneasy, and this uneasiness was finally confirmed in the letter.
In the middle of the night on the tenth day of Jing Wenzhao's escape, Xie Xuan went to the palace overnight to ask for an audience.
"What's the matter? You're so panicked." Jing Wenhao had already rested with Li Xi, and when he heard Xie Xuan's urgent pleading for an audience, he casually put on some clothes.
"Tao Xianzhi, he, he committed suicide." Xie Xuan originally wanted to give Tao Xianzhi another medicine tonight, by the way, to persuade him. Today, the punishment for that person is too severe, who knows When I arrived, I realized that Tao Xianzhi had already killed himself by biting his tongue. When he arrived, the man was completely out of breath.
Jing Wenhao frowned, his hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and after a long while, he said indifferently: "When the list is released, it is said that the king of England rebelled, and the princess committed suicide in fear of crime."
The stick was released on the second day, the day Jing Wenzhao received Tao Xianzhi's letter.After reading the letter, Jing Wenzhao wept bitterly.No one had ever seen Jing Wenzhao lose his composure like this before, so no one dared to dissuade him.Jing Wenzhao reread the letter over and over again. In the letter, Tao Xianzhi told him to conspire with the king of Nanjiang to send troops as soon as possible, taught him how to mediate with the king of Nanjiang, and warned him the things to pay attention to if he succeeds in raising troops .The letter was very thick, and it even listed one by one, which people on his side were available and how to use them.He just told him at the end of the letter that when he read the letter, he was already dead, and let him use his own death to send troops.
So after a whole day of pain, Jing Wenzhao contacted the royal family in southern Xinjiang on the second day, set a time to dispatch troops, and rose up.
Jing Wenzhao turned his back on the reason that the emperor killed his concubine.
Nanjiang and Jing Wenzhao's places are very close. Before that, the two sides only discussed about sending troops, but did not make any real plans.Now, according to the method Tao Xianzhi said in his letter, he sent his own people to borrow troops, and he really did.However, the condition that the King of Nanjiang offered was that he would be the coach, personally go to the capital, and behead Jing Wenhao.
Li Yong failed to catch up with Jing Wenzhao, and was stopped by the people sent by Nanjiang. When he arrived in the capital, he saw the imperial list.
Li Yong returned to the palace to face the saint, knelt on the ground, and said: "I am incompetent, I have not caught up with King Ying."
Jing Wenhao rubbed his head. When the people were sent out, he knew the result, and said, "It's okay. You can go back to the camp after you have a rest. The order has come down. I promoted you to work with Li Da." General. Jing Wenzhao has escaped, and there should be a battle soon. During this time, we have been training troops as soon as possible, just in case."
Li Yong saw that Jing Wenhao was completely different from the previous few days, his body was very hostile, as if he had just walked out of a pool of blood, with a murderous air.
Li Yong didn't dare to be negligent, he took the order to go home, changed his clothes, and went straight to the barracks with his clothes.He had just been set on fire a few days ago, and these two days are a good time to rectify. He might not be able to go home for a while.
Since the day when the imperial list was released, Jing Wenhao issued an order to strengthen the defense of each checkpoint, and asked Li Da to arrange for his subordinates to send out many advance troops, fearing that Jing Wenzhao would suddenly attack and could not defend this side, but Unexpectedly, before his men arrived, Jing Wenzhao's side would raise troops.Jing Wenzhao was guarding the southwest side, and Nanjiang borrowed troops from him, so he opened the city gate and let the troops from Nanjiang come in, and the people of Nanjiang expanded without restraint, directly extending their hands to both sides of Jing Wenzhao's territory, closing in Went down to Binzhou.In ten days and so on, three cities were taken down one after another.
Jing Wenhao's face turned green when he received the military report in Beijing.People in southern Xinjiang are good at using formations. In their last life, they sent Li Yong to fight for a long time before they were able to defeat them.Now that the military power struggle between these two sides has just been withdrawn, whichever one is sent to the past, I am afraid that it will lose a lot.When Li Yong heard the military report, he had requested three orders in one day to lead troops to recover the rivers and mountains, but Jing Wenhao stopped them all.After thinking about it again and again, Jing Wenhao still sent Li Da out. Li Da took the army to rest for a few days, and the general had enough money and food before he set off and rushed to the front line overnight.The southwestern land was originally a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Jing Wenzhao made such a fuss, and the army in the southern border was invincible for a while.Even if Li Da arrived with his people, he suffered several defeats in a row, and it took about a month to trap the southern Xinjiang army in Changzhou, ten miles away from Gufeng Pass.
When Li Da led the people to rest, he realized that the king of Nanjiang was not only fighting, but also punishing his heart.The king of Southern Border was warlike, and he always played by himself in battles. He was absolutely unambiguous. In addition, there was the prince of Daqi sitting in charge, his morale was high, and he clamored every day to invade the capital.And someone in the city released the news, saying that the emperor had suffered repeated defeats and was no longer planning to control them. If the land was ceded to pay compensation, they would be the first to die.It is said that everyone in this city will have to go to southern Xinjiang to be slaves at that time, so it is better to surrender now.
Li Da was furious, and took advantage of the time when Beijing was recuperating, he arrested the local county magistrate and asked him to find out where the rumors started. As a result, the county magistrate had just been punished the day before, and the people in the city changed the next day. He made a statement, saying that the generals sent by the court would only vent their anger on the people. It seems that the emperor is really planning to give up this place.
Li Da was in a hurry, but luckily there was a military division following him, persuading him.The unannounced investigation finally found the Nanjiang people who sneaked into the city to spread rumors and shake the morale of the army, but the rumors were told a hundred times, and the false ones became true. For a while, people here panicked.Li Da had no choice but to write a military report to Jing Wenhao.
When the army reported for duty, Jing Wenhao was discussing matters with Li Yong.After receiving the military report, he immediately frowned.
"Your Majesty, is that General Li?" Li Yong asked tentatively.
Jing Wenhao rubbed the center of his eyebrows with one hand, and handed the general newspaper to Li Yong with the other hand, "Look at it."
General Li Yong received the newspaper, read it carefully, and frowned. "The King of Southern Xinjiang's imperial conquest, together with the King of England and the two of them, are sitting in front of the battle. This situation is indeed not conducive to General Li."
"Right now, I have lost the hearts of the people. How do you treat it?"
"This time is a big battle. If possible, it would be best to have someone from the royal family lead the battle, but now..."
"Now my uncles are all old and weak, and the only one who is strong and strong was executed by me some time ago. Besides, one of my brothers was killed by me, and the other turned against me and went to the enemy's army. I have no children, I can't even send a prince there."
"Your Majesty, why don't you let the ministers lead the army there, how can I still be regarded as an uncle and relative of the emperor?" Li Yong suggested.
"Forget it, their target is Zhen, what's the use of you going?" Jing Wenhao sipped his tea, "Besides, if there is a fight in the south, the barbarians above may not be able to stay idle. If you don't stay here and sit in command, the superior I'm afraid it will come down at any time."
"But your majesty, the imperial conquest..."
"Okay, do you have a better way?" Jing Wenhao sighed, "After I leave, I will hand over the big seal to Li Xi. Xie Xuan will help him handle the usual affairs, and you will be left with the rest." Come on. I am only afraid that he will be unsafe, so you must ensure that he is safe."
"Your majesty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to go like this. Besides, the queen..."
"Don't be afraid, this time I will take Liu Jin with the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army. There are also hidden guards, I will take half of them away, and you can help me choose them. Li Xi's side, I will tell you in person, but you, after I leave, you So I brought all the members of the Li family to live in the palace, so he must be at ease."
When Li Yong left the palace, Jing Wenhao went to the Zhiran Hall, and when he returned, Li Xi had already fallen asleep on the soft chair.Jing Wenhao had someone cut open the ice cellar early on, and now there are not many palaces in this palace that are qualified to use ice. For the other cases, Jing Wenhao gave all of them to Li Xi, so even if it is midsummer, the palace of Zhiran The temperature is like in spring.It was still a bit cold to lie like this, Li Xi put a thin blanket on her body, and slept soundly.Li Xi's body is almost six months old, and her belly is also swollen. In the past two days, she has grown fast.Jing Wenhao gently put his hand on it, and touched Li Xi's stomach, Li Xi moved slightly, a little dazed, woke up, and took Jing Wenhao's hand.
"The emperor is back."
"Well, how many times have I told you that you have to go back to bed when you're sleepy, and you don't listen to what you say." What Jing Wenhao cares most about these days is Li Xi's body. Li Xi vomited up whatever he ate, and became thinner a lot.
"No way. Why did the emperor come back so early today?"
"Li Xi, I have something to talk to you about." Jing Wenhao sat on the soft chair and held Li Xi in his arms.
Li Xi's heart tightened, every time Jing Wenhao called his name, nothing good happened.
"During this period on the front line, the situation is not very good. I have to go to the conquest. When I leave, I will draw up an imperial decree and leave the big seal to you. Don't worry, if there is anything you don't understand about state affairs, go to Xie Xuan. Other things Leave it all to your brother. After a few days, they will all move into the palace to accompany you."
"I don't want it. Whoever wants your big seal, you take it with you." Li Xi's face darkened, "What do I want yours to do, you take me there."
"Stop making trouble, be obedient." Jing Wenhao hugged the person in his arms hard, "You don't have any other meaning to give you a big seal, I'm leaving, there must be someone in charge here, right? You stay here , I promise you, before the child is born, I will definitely come back, okay? Besides, you have a big belly, how can you follow the army? Do you still want to give birth to our child?"
Li Xi was not happy, but he knew that he couldn't stop it, even though Jing Wenhao coaxed him carefully for several days, Li Xi still turned pale.It wasn't until the night before Jing Wenhao was leaving that Li Xi gave Jing Wenhao a box of things.
"It's dangerous to go to the southern border. They are good at using various poisons. I always feel uneasy. Take this medicine with you. No matter what strange poisons you have, as long as you take it in time, it will keep you safe for the time being." Li Xi After finishing speaking, he turned over and fell asleep facing inward. Jing Wenhao was about to leave, and he was reluctant.
On the second day, Jing Wenhao had to set off early in the morning. Li Xi stayed up all night, and got up early the next day. He followed Jing Wenhao, watched him wear armor, and watched him burn incense and make oaths. The army raised its arms and shouted, and then went out of the city gate.Li Xi was not willing to leave, and stood on the tower until he could see nothing, but he was still reluctant to go back, and he waited until Li Yong came to persuade him, then Li Xi listened and returned to Zhiran Hall.
Jing Wenhao didn't pay much attention to the matter of Yujia's personal conquest, he didn't take the initiative to bring it up before, but he was worried that Li Xi was now heavy, and he was worried about being alone in the palace.Although Li Yong led people to fight for a long time in his previous life, it was only because the people in Southern Border were good at changing formations and using poison. Coincidentally, Li Yong was an enthusiastic recorder. Every formation he encountered in his previous life was How to fight every battle and every checkpoint, Li Yong wrote it down in the military newspaper.These things are all imprinted in his mind now, not to mention retreating to the southern border, if he is allowed to lead the troops, it is no problem to take the southern border.
Jing Wenhao and his team rushed to Gufengguan within a few days.The military newspaper just arrived yesterday, and Jing Wenhao arrived today. For a while, the local officials were terrified and almost cried to pick them up. "The emperor arrived, and the ministers were not prepared. The crime deserves ten thousand deaths, and the sin deserves ten thousand deaths."
Jing Wenhao had no intention of talking to them, the first thing he did was to let Li Da catch the man from southern Xinjiang who was spreading rumors, take him to Caishikou, and behead him himself.The common people were relieved to see such a decisive emperor standing in front of them.For a while, the morale of the army was high, and everyone was full of fighting spirit and wanted to fight back.
On the night Jing Wenhao arrived, he sent people to buy dozens of pigs, cattle and sheep in Changzhou, and slaughtered them all that night to comfort the armed forces.The soldiers who hadn't seen meat for almost a month were all extremely excited.While everyone was eating heartily, Jing Wenhao stood on the martial arts arena in the army, brought everyone a bowl of wine, and swore an oath to the army.Seeing such a scene, Li Da burst into tears with excitement, and thanked God very much for giving him a wise master.
After that day, Jing Wenhao didn't send troops in a hurry, but relied on the memory of his previous life and Li Da's experience of this month, exchanged and worked out a set of tactics, and brought the formations he could think of day by day. Let the soldiers practice again.During this period, there were many southern Xinjiang troops who came to provoke, but Jing Wenhao ordered the small troops to beat them back, but they did not pursue them.
Until the [-]th day, Jing Wenhao felt that it was time. He assembled the army early in the morning, opened a pot of wine in the camp, and shouted at the commander-in-chief: "Generals and soldiers of the Great Qi, now that the enemy is at hand, who would like to fight?" Fight me?"
These days Jing Wenhao has the same board and lodging as the soldiers, and won the unanimous favor of the soldiers. As soon as he said this, the soldiers below cheered one after another.
"I am willing."
"I am willing."
"I am willing."
......
Jing Wenhao drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, threw the bowl as an order, and set off with his army Haohao Tangtang.
The whole team had made long-term preparations for this battle, so much so that the Southern Xinjiang army was powerless to fight back.Southern Xinjiang seized three cities in ten days, and Jing Wenhao led his army to take them back in twenty days when the three cities were easy to defend and difficult to attack.Not only that, but also went all the way south, directly hitting southern Xinjiang.
The King of Southern Xinjiang was retreating one after another, and the Huaiyin Mountain that used to protect Southern Xinjiang was now completely taken by Jing Wenhao.Even though they kept changing their formations, they were all cracked by Jing Wenhao. Seeing that Nanjiang was about to lose security, the king of Nanjiang panicked and sent envoys to sue for peace.
When the peace appeal letter was received, it had been more than three months since Jing Wenhao came out, and he was unwilling to fight.He is very clear about his own army. It looks invincible, but it is actually opportunistic.If you insist on taking down Southern Border now, the damage will definitely be great.What's more, it has been several months since he came out, and now Li Xi might be about to give birth, so he has to rush back to stay with Li Xi.Even so, Jing Wenhao still put forward a harsh negotiation condition.The border was redrawn, and all three cities south of Huaiyin Mountain were handed over to Daqi.
The king of Nanjiang was very angry, but he had no choice but to think that Jing Wenhao was like a god-man, so he had no choice but to retreat and sign the letter of surrender.As for Jing Wenzhao, he was directly drugged out and sent outside Jing Wenhao's camp as a gesture of sincerity.
Four months later, the two brothers met again, but one had already become a prisoner.
Jing Wenzhao woke up, his whole body was tied up, and when he took a closer look, he saw Jing Wenhao. "Oh, you really shouldn't trust these people from southern Xinjiang. Why, didn't you kill me when I fell asleep just now, and you want to see me laugh?"
Jing Wenhao shook his head and said, "I don't care about your jokes. I just want to know why you and your mother are dissatisfied, thinking about rebelling every day? Isn't it good to be a vassal with peace of mind?"
"Winners and losers, it's useless to talk about it now. You have been favored by your father since you were born, so naturally you don't know the suffering of us princes. Today I am living here, and it is all my own fault. Please, brother, give me a Have fun." Jing Wenzhao wanted to die with all his heart, but in fact, since he knew of Tao Xian's death, his desire for death had been strong, and he kept on, just because he wanted to avenge that person.
"So, I'll ask you one more question, did you kill Wanling?" The reason why Jing Wenhao kept this alive was because he wanted to confirm it for himself.
"Yes." Jing Wenzhao said bluntly, "it's just her own fault. When she went out to have a tryst with that sweetheart, she happened to break through the conspiracy between Xianzhi and Qiyue. It just so happened that Qiyue had just learned how to refine the poison and used it on her. body."
Jing Wenhao didn't want to hear any more, the fact that he was worried about two lifetimes was right in front of him, so he waved someone to take Jing Wenzhao down and executed him.
That night, Jing Wenhao revised a letter and told Li Xi that he would return to Beijing soon.
Li Xi's stomach has grown bigger and bigger since Jing Wenhao left, but she is losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.Sullen all day long, Li Zhiyuan tried his best to make him smile, but none of them were as effective as Jing Wenhao's letter from home.In the past few months, only when Li Xi received Jing Wenhao's letter would she feel more cheerful, and would eat more at meals.
When the latest letter from home was delivered to Li Xi, Li Xi cried when he saw Jing Wenhao saying that he was well and would return soon.Sobbing uncontrollably, everyone was terrified, thinking that something had happened to the emperor.Li Zhiyuan sent someone to call Li Yong over. After reading the letter from the family, Li Yong's heart sank.His younger brother probably wants to act like a baby.
It was mid-summer when Jing Wenhao left, but it had already been winter in a few months, and the location of Kyoto was a bit northerly. When Jing Wenhao reached the outskirts of Beijing, it had snowed here.
With a big belly, Li Xi thought that Jing Wenhao would be able to come back today, and was so excited that he paced back and forth in Zhiran Palace, unable to stop.The sky was getting dark gradually, Jing Wenhao hadn't come back yet, Li Xi wanted to go out and wait in a hurry, no one could stop him.
As a result, just two steps away, something happened. It snowed during the day, and it snowed heavily last night. A few maids had nothing to do and built a few snowmen on the path.Today, the snow melted during the day, and since it was on the small road, no one noticed, it happened that Li Xi stepped on it, and the road was slippery and fell down.Just like that, it started to hurt my stomach, and the palace people were terrified.Several guards carried Li Xi back to the Zhiran Palace, and the other maids and eunuchs ran to the Imperial Hospital one after another.
When the imperial physicians heard that the queen had fallen, they were terrified, took the medicine box, and asked the little maid who sent the message to find Mrs. Wen, and then rushed to Zhiran hall.
When Jing Wenhao returned to the palace, Zhiran Hall was already in chaos, Li Yong was pacing back and forth outside the hall, seeing Jing Wenhao, everyone
