Liang Jianyan

Chapter 44

Although the prison is far away from the main hall of the palace, it has alarmed everyone in the palace—on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, seeing fire inside the palace is really not a good omen.

A good palace banquet was ruined in an instant.

Fu Yunting was afraid that someone would intentionally create chaos and assassinate the emperor, so he rushed to invite several military officers to find his majesty.He also hurried to the jail.Unexpectedly, when we arrived at the place, what caught our eyes was a piece of fire.Fu Yunting was in a hurry, looking for His Majesty, and finally saw the Emperor before the ruins - his face was covered with ashes, his face was covered with water, a few drops passed the corners of his eyes, and dripped down his chin.The young man who led a group of Thousand Machine Army knelt down in front of the emperor, bowed his head and said nothing.Du Guanxuan even stopped the emperor, not letting him go forward.

Knowing that the emperor wanted to enter the fire, Fu Yunting hurried over, grabbed the emperor's arm, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, this place is dangerous, get out of here!"

Liang Xuanliang didn't listen to him, but struggled vigorously and cursed angrily: "Get up!"

Du Guanxuan was anxious and did not dare to offend, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I beg you, this old slave, please don't do anything stupid!"

Seeing this, the Qianji Army didn't move even more, blocking the emperor's way.

Seeing this, Liang Xuanliang became even more angry. He pointed at the people kneeling on the ground, his breath trembling, "You...you get out of the way! Otherwise, I will let your heads fall to the ground!"

The strength to break free was even greater, Fu Yunting knew that he could not stop the emperor, so he gritted his teeth, raised his hand and slashed hard at the emperor's back.

Liang Xuanliang wanted to say something, but before she could say a word, she felt a pain in her stamina, and her eyes were blurred.

Seeing the emperor lying in his arms, Fu Yunting's mood was indescribable.Seeing His Majesty fainted, Du Guanxuan was terrified, "Your Majesty!"

"Eunuch Du, don't worry, Your Majesty just passed out and nothing will happen." Handing the man in his arms to Du Guanxuan, Fu Yunting whispered in the emperor's ear: "I have no choice but to offend Your Majesty, and please forgive me. "Then he looked at Young, "Senior Wei, some military officers will bring people here in a while, and I will trouble you here."

"it is good."

"Send Your Majesty back to the bedroom quickly, I'll go find Bai Yicheng."

That night, the blazing fire illuminated the top of the palace like daytime, but Liang Xuanliang fell into darkness that night.He seemed to be in a nightmare, mumbled something in his mouth, and broke out in cold sweat.Bai Xu gave him an injection, and took mint for him to keep in his mouth.The queen was worried, and was afraid of causing trouble to the imperial physician, so she and the ministers stood guard outside the Taihua Hall.In the middle of the night, Ashina Hezhuo came over, she stood with the queen for a while, and then left.

After tossing like this until the emperor woke up, it was already noon the next day.

Seeing the emperor wake up, Bai Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.He walked out of the palace gate and said to everyone: "Your Majesty has woken up."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.The Queen asked, "Is Your Majesty in trouble?"

"Going back to the empress, it's just that the airway is dirty by the smoke. According to the minister's prescription, you can recuperate for a few days with peace of mind." Having said that, Bai Xu glanced at Fu Yunting—you prodigal son, you If you use a little more force, if the emperor can't wake up, you'll just wait to die!

Meeting Bai Xu's eyes, Fu Yunting naturally knew what he was thinking.He sighed helplessly—what can I do!

I promised my good teacher to be loyal and responsible for His Majesty, how could I watch His Majesty sink into the mud and ruin this country alive!

"You are the one who is right!" Bai Xu wanted to scold Fu Yunting bloody, he felt that he was really careless in making friends, why did he always have friendship with these thoughtful people.

Fu Yunting knew that he was uncomfortable, stepped forward and patted his shoulder, and said in a gentle voice: "I know your difficulty."

If you feel too hard, too sad, just cry.

"Crying for your donkey's hoof!" He said so, but the tears still couldn't help streaming down, Bai Xu wiped his face with the back of his hand, slapped Fu Yunting's hand away, and turned to leave.

Fu Yunting's hands hurt, "Where are you going?"

"Collect the corpse!"

Back at the Imperial Medical Office, Bai Xu found a nicer white porcelain jar—he heard that the prison was completely burned down by the fire last night, and none of the people locked in it escaped.

The fire burned all night, and the bones must have been burned to ashes.

That's okay, I'll collect the ashes for you, and you will have a home.

After wiping the porcelain jar clean, Bai Xu applied a little sandalwood ointment on the top of the lid, and ran towards the prison with his arms in his arms.He fell down, but he was stunned.

His Majesty? ! !

That black figure was tinged with desolation amidst the ruins—Liang Xuanliang squatted on the ground, carefully picking up the ashes.He was not yet in good health, he coughed unconsciously, but he was afraid of startling the sleeping dust, so he covered his mouth and kept silent.

Du Guanxuan really felt sorry for the emperor, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this old slave is here to pick it up."

"Ahem... no need."

"But as soon as the fire was extinguished, the soil was still hot, and the skin on your hands was scalded."

"Oh, I said that I came to pick it up myself." Liang Xuanliang was a little impatient, "Do you know whose ashes it is?"

What if you pick up the wrong one and leave someone else's soul behind?

"This……"

"Stop talking." Liang Xuanliang pointed to the front, "There's wind here, stand over and block it, don't let the wind blow him away."

Du Guanxuan wanted to dissuade him, but seeing His Majesty bowed his head to pick up the ashes on the ground again, he could only reply "Yes".Standing in front of the emperor, Du Guanxuan caught a glimpse of Bai Xu in the distance.Seeing that he was holding a porcelain jar in his hand, Du Guanxuan understood it.Shaking his head at Bai Xu, the other party understood and left.

Liang Xuanliang carefully picked up the ashes on the ground - so something could be kept.

I can keep a little bit of your figure, a little bit of your breath, a little bit of your admiration, even a little bit of your hatred.

Bit by bit turned into ashes, floating dust is like floating life.The edge is gone, no longer stay.

However, everything in the Great Liang Palace will never infect the far northwest.A few days later, the Turkic palace was full of singing and dancing, which was really lively.Atisher smiled and toasted with everyone, but someone came to report: "Master Hou, someone has come to the house and said they want to see you."

"Oh? Who?"

"He didn't give his name, he just said that he will give you this jade ring, and you will know who he is."

Raising his eyebrows, Atisher took the jade ring - the totem with the eagle carved on it was the symbol of their Turkic royal family.

Abasher couldn't help laughing: Didn't the Marquis give this to that man?

Sure enough, you still came to my side.

Unable to contain the joy in his heart, Asher asked, "Where is that man now?"

"Go back to Lord Hou, you're still at the mansion."

"Ha, very good."

Going back to the mansion, the Marquis wants to meet the old man for a while!

For six years, day and night, the wind and dust passed by.In the vicissitudes of life, the old shadows are in pairs.There are ups and downs in the world, there is no way to tell the truth, and there is no way to express sadness.

In the second year after Qi Zhaoyan's death, Liang Xuanliang changed his reign name to Yuan Shuo, and appointed Fu Yunting as his servant.Emperor Liang ordered the reform of the salt tax, and opened trade with Japan, Korea, Silla and other places.The country is rich in wealth, and the people are very lucky.At the end of the same year, Abashir became Turkic Khan.

However, the monthly profit is the loss-in the fifth year of Yuanshuo, the officials were in charge of money, and over time, corruption became common.Emperor Liang ordered Fu Yunting to conduct a thorough investigation and punish him severely. Although he made up for the evil, he had been corrupted for a long time, suffered serious deficits, and the officials in the DPRK and China were in disarray.Emperor Liang was furious, beheaded several corrupt and bribe-taking people, and punished the nine clans.In July of the same year, there was another severe drought in the northwest.The military government's grain depots were struggling to supply, and grain was collected from the south of the Yangtze River, but the grain and grass were washed away by the high tide when crossing the river.Refugees from the Northwest went east all the way and entered the imperial capital.For a time, people in the imperial capital were panicked, thieves appeared frequently, and refugees wanted to revolt.Emperor Liang sent Habayashi guards to suppress.

In May, the Turks took advantage of the chaos in Daliang to harass the northwest border.Emperor Liang appointed Yang Heng as the marshal, and led 3 soldiers and horses to join the border guards to fight against the Turks.In the first battle, the Liang army had the upper hand and recovered three cities.Unexpectedly, in the mid-month battle, the Turks ambushed in Qisha Pass, and the entire army of [-] horses was wiped out, and the main general Yang Heng died tragically.The rest of the troops retreated to Baitong to recuperate.At this time, there are natural disasters and man-made disasters in Great Liang, food and troops are in short supply, and there is no one who can lead the troops.In desperation, Emperor Liang named Zuo Duo Zhanqianlang again, and led [-] elite troops to support him, but all his horses were poisoned and died halfway.

A few days later, Baitong fell.

Turkic Chen Sheng pursued and took Xizhou, Luntai, Qingkou and other places within half a year.On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month in the fifth year of Yuanshuo, the Turkic army entered the pass.The court ministers were very anxious, and wrote to His Majesty, asking for peace talks, but the Emperor Liang made an unexpected decision—the imperial conquest.

On the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the fifth year of Yuanshuo, Emperor Liang led Yu Linwei and Long Wuqi to go to Xiguan Pass.The two sides fought in Suzhou. Unexpectedly, Yue Simiao, deputy commander of the Liang army, treacherous and collaborating with the enemy, led his troops to surrender. The Liang army suffered heavy losses for a while, and nearly ten thousand soldiers died in battle.On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the Turkic army occupied Suzhou and attacked the camp of the Liang army.

"Your Majesty, let's go!"

Under the night, a few people in civilian clothes ran quickly, it was Liang Xuanliang and others.

This battle was a disastrous defeat, and the Liang army barracks were also occupied by Turks.In order to protect the emperor's safety, Zhenwei Xiaowei Yuanzheng secretly escorted his majesty back to the imperial capital.

However, when he was robbed halfway, an evil star fell from the sky—there was a sudden movement in the surrounding woods, and bunches of torches illuminated the way ahead, but burned down the way of life.Suddenly, a group of Turkic soldiers rushed out and surrounded them heavily.

Yuan Zheng was startled, and he drank it, and the five soldiers protected the emperor behind him.Putting his hand on the scabbard, he vigilantly looked at the enemies around him, ready to fight bloody at any time, even if he died, he must protect His Majesty comprehensively.

But the Turkic soldiers who surrounded them did not move.Seeing the situation in front of her, Liang Xuanliang felt ashamed, angry and unwilling, and shouted loudly: "A group of young people raised by Abisher, you dare to stop me?!"

I saw that group of soldiers stepping aside a path, and a man in a white fur robe was walking towards him.The fur robe hat covered the man's face, Yuan Zheng squinted his eyes, raised his hand, drew the sword out of its sheath, and stood in front of him, a cold light suddenly appeared, reflected in the man's eyes.

Seeing this, the Turkic soldiers wanted to step forward, but the man waved his hand to stop him.He didn't care about the sharp sword in front of him, he just looked at Liang Xuanliang.Liang Xuanliang couldn't see his face clearly, let alone guess what this person was thinking, but her heart throbbed and became more and more uneasy.

After a while, the man spoke, his voice was as cool as water, but it was a bit more vicissitudes.

"Let's say goodbye for a few years, and when we meet again, you will be old too."

this voice? ! !

The familiar voice came to her ears, and Liang Xuanliang couldn't help trembling - she didn't know if she didn't believe it, or she didn't dare to believe it.

He could only open his eyes wide and watched the man take off his hat—the pair of peach blossom eyes did not ripple, but they reflected the little firelight but were very cold.

Liang Xuanliang was stunned - how long had it been since he saw this face again.

Is this a ghost asking for his life, or a person coming to collect debts?

"Yan...Jun Ran?!!"

Hearing his voice, the man's eyes moved slightly, and then he turned around, "Come on, please bring the Emperor of Great Liang back to the military tent!"
