Survival countdown
Chapter 105
"...What do you know? I really can't eat this black fish out of Shaanxi! Take it, let the small kitchen kill and cook fish soup, and give Mr. Zhao a boost. It's a pity that I haven't had a good rest in the past [-] days. Said that the wounds on his body are not healed yet festering, thanks to his youth."
"Miss Dou, Master Zhao has black fish, but I don't?"
Hearing the voice, one could imagine Adjutant Cui's playful smile, not just in need of a beating.
"Call me Commander Dou."
"Commander Dou!"
"There are three black fishes under the straw basket. Anyway, if you want any extra, you can take them."
"Three?" Adjutant Cui's voice was full of surprises, "Two more than Mr. Zhao, Miss Dou, uh, no, Commander Dou, how sorry you gave me two more...Dead? You give Zhao Lord live fish, give me dead fish."
"if not?"
Immediately afterwards came the reprimand of the doctor, telling them to keep their voices down, and if they had nothing to do, they would go outside to help repair the city wall, but after a while, it quieted down, and there was a loud and clear cry from Haidongqing, from top to bottom, startled away from the eaves Nesting birds.
The wind rustled, the forest leaves caressed, the warm sunlight fell on the ground through the half-open window, and the dust jumped in the light. A figure walked by the window and came in from the outside. As soon as he raised his head, he met Zhao who opened his eyes on the bed. whitefish.
Huo Jingtang hurriedly put the medicine bowl aside, helped Zhao Baiyu up, and asked while touching his forehead, "Dizziness and chest tightness? Does the wound hurt or itch?"
Zhao Baiyu shook his head: "How long have I been asleep?"
Huo Jingtang: "Two days and three nights, excessive fatigue combined with inflammation and festering of the wound, caused a high fever. But I have survived the worse situation. It's just a minor situation right now. Look, you were awakened by me."
Zhao Baiyu held Huo Jingtang's hand to check his injuries: "How about you? Have you had a good rest?"
The Xiliang mansion and his party must be dangerous, and then they rushed on the road non-stop. When they came back, they faced the crisis of Jingzhou city being destroyed. Not only did he have to take care of the comatose man, but he also had to deal with the reconstruction of Jingzhou mansion and the Daxia army in Weizhou. I don’t know. Have you had a good rest.
Huo Jingtang: "It's okay, Cui Zong is putting ecstasy in my medicine, I also fell into a coma for a day and a night, my mental and physical strength has recovered, and the wound has scabbed over, it will be healed in ten and a half months."
Zhao Baiyu took the medicine he handed over and drank it all in one gulp, quickly grabbed the candied fruit and put it in his mouth to dilute the bitter taste, looked down at the bandages on his body and said with a smile: "Scars are the glory of a man. After returning to the capital, do you have any regrets against those pedantic people?" The capital of the old man and the reckless to show off."
Regardless of Zhao Baiyu's reputation as an upright and upright Qingtian, many officials who have been promoted in the past few years have made things difficult for him in the court because of his opposition. Yes, I'm afraid he fainted at the sight of blood, as if he had forgotten that he beheaded three hundred officials.
Then, clenched his fist and touched Huo Jingtang's fist, Zhao Baiyu grinned and said, "We both have medals on our bodies, we are a perfect match."
Huo Jingtang: "Are you still in the mood to joke around? Do you know that when I arrived, I saw the city was broken, and my heart almost stopped."
Zhao Baiyu: "Aren't you still alive?"
Huo Jingtang glared, and Zhao Baiyu begged for mercy: "If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed. Do you think I have experienced a few close deaths? I guess it will be difficult to end without a blessing like Donghai."
I don't know where I learned it. I don't know where I learned it. Maybe it's the ability to talk to people and talk to people when I was a child. Later, when I became an official, I got rid of it in order to be more stable. In the past few years, Huo Jing Under Tang's connivance, there were signs of recovery, which really amused Huo Jingtang.
He was not angry in the first place, it was a great fortune that Zhao Baiyu was safe and sound, how could Huo Jingtang be willing to be harsh?
"You shouldn't have transferred Zhe Qingfeng away."
"If you don't adjust it, you can adjust it, so what can you do?"
Huo Jingtang couldn't help laughing, and the posture he had finally erected was like a mountain collapsing in an instant. To be honest, speaking of the dangers he encountered at that time, fortunately, Zhe Qingfeng arrived in time, otherwise he might be buried in Daxia and never return. .
"Zhao Baiyu, you saved me again, you saved me twice, you brought me back from the brink of life and death, I owe you two lives."
"You also saved me twice..."
Huo Jingtang thought about it and felt that something was wrong, "Then we're even? Strictly speaking, I only saved you this time. I didn't save you last time. It was all thanks to the imperial physician. Tell me to owe you once." In order to get involved, he was very righteous: "Apart from the useless title, wealth, and fame, only this stalwart body and handsome face have some value, Mr. Xiaolang, Just let me promise myself."
"……roll."
Huo Jingtang kicked off his shoes and got on the bed. He hugged Zhao Baiyu for a while, and when it was time for dinner, he sent someone to the small kitchen to ask for the boiled black fish soup to replenish Zhao Baiyu's body.
On the third day, Zhao Baiyu was able to get out of bed and simply intervene in Jingzhou affairs. Various repairs in the mansion were in full swing, and all aspects of commerce, agriculture, and government were on the right track, and the difficulty in Weizhou was also resolved. The Bactria army that ran across the border were all beaten and fled. The news of Sang Liangyu's death seemed to spread throughout the northwest. The Turks moved on hearing the news and withdrew from the northwest border overnight.
The Northwest has temporarily returned to its former tranquility, but soldiers and horses from all walks of life are ready to go. Southern Xinjiang, Mongolia and Turks are all staring at each other. The internal turmoil in Daxia is just a piece of rotten meat that will not rot, attracting greedy vultures from the surrounding area. The latter three dare not mess around The reason for the move was that they found out that Dajing was mobilizing 63 soldiers in the northwest. They were afraid of bumping into this behemoth head-on and being retaliated against, so no one dared to move first.
A strange calm enveloped the northwest and the sky over Daxia. At this moment, Tuoba Mingzhu and Gao Yishan, who had fled in Daxia, proclaimed themselves emperors in Heishui Town and sent envoys to negotiate peace with Daxia.
One month has passed since the war triggered by Daxia, the imperial edict of the Kyoto Prefecture came down, ordering the troops of the Northwest Five Routes to attack Daxia from various routes, and Huo Jingtang would lead the troops.
The envoy from Daxia came to the Weizhou military camp, and was beheaded by Huo Jingtang on the spot as soon as he expressed his intention to come. Holding his head, he said: "The envoy from Daxia intends to assassinate this king. The heart is not dead. Our dynasty advocates peace for the sake of the peace of the people on the border. We are tolerant of Daxia who has repeatedly offended the northwest border. We have accepted his terms of peace talks several times, and we are open to discussion and friendly exchanges. However, the nobles of Daxia are not dead. Insatiable greed, frequent tricks—could the generals bear it?"
The soldiers were filled with righteous indignation, shouting that they can't bear it and don't want to bear it, they should destroy Daxia!
"Be patient, bear it, you can't bear it, you don't need to bear it anymore! All the soldiers and horses, ready to go, follow me to expand the territory, break through the Xingqing Mansion, and bring the shore of the Yellow River, the Gaohe grassland, and the Hexi Corridor into our university. Landscape map!"
A group of soldiers shouted immediately, the crowd was passionate, and their morale was unprecedentedly high.
***
Huo Jingtang and Zhao Baiyu separated again less than two months after their reunion, this time there wasn't much parting, they just said: "We live and die together."
Zhao Baiyu: "I brewed Qin wine, and it will be unsealed on the day you return to court after a big victory."
Huo Jingtang smiled boldly: "But I really don't want to come back!"
They bid farewell on this side, and no one was watching, because the mountain was full of people who came to see off willows, and not far away were Adjutant Cui and Miss Dou.
That Miss Dou is Dou Hong's youngest daughter. Her elder brother feigned surrender and died in the enemy camp in order to defend Jingzhou. Because of this, her old man's temples turned gray, and he couldn't bear him to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man again. It happened that Adjutant Cui fell in love with her at first sight and died. After two months of stalking, Miss Dou felt that he was not bad, and she was not a pushy person, so she agreed to Adjutant Cui's pursuit after several tests.
However, Ms. Dou accepted Adjutant Cui not for the purpose of getting rid of the military, but for giving birth to a child to comfort her father, to show her filial piety, and to be her female general in the future.
Find another way to fulfill filial piety and continue the career you love. No wonder women in Northwest China are immortal Populus euphratica.
Watching Huo Jingtang get on his horse and disappear into the team, Zhao Baiyu turned around and saw Zhao Changfeng not far away under a dry willow tree. The two looked at each other.
Zhao Changfeng came over and looked at Zhao Baiyu's face carefully. Since the palace banquet four years ago, he had never had the chance to see Zhao Baiyu again, and Goro was not very clear in his memory. Every time he recalled them, he became clearer about them. The original debt, the heart will fall into a suffocating pain.
"Goro has lost a lot of weight."
Zhao Baiyu smiled politely.
Zhao Changfeng bowed his head, hesitant to speak.
Zhao Baiyu sighed inwardly. He had no intention of renewing his relationship, nor did he intentionally trample on people's hearts. He just cupped his hands and said, "We are going thousands of miles away, and the journey is difficult and dangerous. I hope you will return the arrow with your kit, and return to court after victory. Nothing will happen."
Zhao Changfeng raised his eyes suddenly, so excited that it took him a while to say two words: "...Thank you."
Standing on the same spot and lingering, Zhao Changfeng had no choice but to get on his horse and leave after repeated urgings by his superiors. After walking a long way, the gentleman jade that was in his arms was originally a gift given to Zhao Baiyu as a weak crown ceremony several years ago. , still failed to send out.
The team went out like a long dragon, and disappeared in the afterglow of the setting sun. Behind, the people in the dry willow and ancient poplar forest reluctantly left until the moon climbed up the mountain.
***
The verbal order from the capital to summon Zhao Baiyu to go back came twice, but he pushed back both times on the grounds that he was busy with affairs in the northwest, and stayed in Jingzhou until the scorching heat came, and the end of June came quietly. With good news, the Xingqing Mansion was destroyed, and the army went straight to the Daxia Palace, capturing Tuoba Pearl and Gaoyi Mountain who were trying to escape again.
The former drew his sword and slayed himself, while the latter lamented that the day was too late and the time was not with me, so he also followed.
The other nobles of Great Xia all knelt down and begged for mercy, because those who dared to resist were killed by Sang Liangyu, but the people didn't care about the country's destruction. Years ago, none of them were the people of Daxia, they were of the same origin as the Northwest Tibetan tribe, and they had no patriotic feelings at all. Whose people should they be?
It is enough to eat and drink enough, at least in the future, you don’t need to go to the market to get approval from the government. From time to time, you encounter the tragic situation of the market being closed and the whole family follows the northwest wind. It is a good thing that Da Xia died.
When Daxia was destroyed, Huo Jingtang even led his troops to the southern border and Mongolia, which was his revenge.
The Turks next door to Daxia didn’t get any benefits either. Originally, the three-legged rivalry was restrained by Daxia, but now their lips are dead and their teeth are cold. , The gesture of urgency to sum up.
Now is not the time to deal with the Turks, so Emperor Yuanshou did not refuse the peace talks, but his attitude was tough, showing that he was going to slaughter the Turks and let out a bad breath.
***
In early July, the sun was scorching.
Zhelong Tianzhu, who has become the leader of the Zhelong clan, came from Yuanzhou and brought some gifts to meet Zhao Baiyu. They took care of them, so they sent flower cakes made by themselves, and heard that Long Tianzhu was going to meet her benefactor Zhao Baiyu, so he hurriedly handed over an extra basket of flower cakes and wedding candies and asked her to send them.
Therefore, Zhelong Tianzhu came to the confiscated mansion with big bags and small bags. He didn't see Zhao Baiyu. After asking, he found out that he had gone to the horse racing festival held by the local tribe in July.
The gatekeeper boy said: "Both Mr. Zhao and Mr. Dou were dragged to be referees. It was Ms. Dou's instigation, because only men can participate in the horse racing festival. Ms. Dou was so angry that she asked Mr. Zhao and Mr. Dou to operate in the dark. Agree to women's participation. Master Dou disagreed at first, but Master Zhao agreed very much, and proposed men's race group, women's race group, mixed race group... You know, this horse racing festival is not only about horse racing, but also other programs, from morning to It’s late, I guess we won’t leave until dawn tomorrow—are you planning to go too?”
Zhe Long Tianzhu has been a nun for decades, she has a stable temperament, and she is not used to too lively scenes, so she refuses.
"Can I wait in the mansion for a while—"
Before he finished speaking, he heard the neighing of a steed and the screeching of an eagle breaking through the sky in the distance. Looking back, the first thing that caught his eye was a handsome sea dongqing, followed by a man riding one by one. The chilling and icy aura rushed towards them, Zhelong Tianzhu and Xiaotong were both on guard.
When someone lifted off the cold iron mask, revealing the unique glass-colored Bodhisattva eyes and an unusually handsome face, the two recognized that it was Huo Jingtang, and then put down their guard.
"The little one, Mr. Long, has seen the general."
Huo Jingtang glanced at the deserted mansion, and asked, "Is Xiao Lang here?"
Xiao Tong answered truthfully, Huo Jingtang didn't say anything, and rode away.
Zhelong Tianzhu was slightly surprised: "The Forbidden Army Squad Master is back?"
If the class teacher came back, there should be a big commotion, maybe Lin'an County King couldn't bear the lovesickness, and left the army and ran back day and night by himself.
Laughing, Zhelong Tianzhu whispered: "The Han people in the Central Plains are not all rigid and rigid."
***
Jingzhou is a place where the Tibetans live together. On the grasslands, by the Pearl Lake, several wild horses are drinking water by the lake. In the distance is the horse racing festival, which is particularly lively and noisy.
Seeing Miss Dou galloping on a steed from a distance, holding the snatched lamb in her arms. The lamb was still wearing a flower ball, and she was too scared to move. There were a dozen horses chasing after her. , want to snatch the little lamb in Miss Dou's arms.
Standing by the lake, Zhao Baiyu, who was wearing a grass-white wide-sleeved shirt, looked back at the clear lake water, where he could see the black fish playing with the aquatic plants.
At this time, there was the sound of galloping horseshoes behind him. Zhao Baiyu thought it was some horse racing man who came to let the horse drink water, so he didn't care. Feeling the coldness of the armor, he was shocked for a moment, took a deep breath, stretched out his hands to wrap around the gangster's waist, and buried his face in it affectionately.
The horse racer noticed the abnormality and caught up nervously. Some people thought that the track had changed, so they also caught up. In a flash, there were dozens of horses behind them. , cheering and jumping for joy, endlessly.
Zhao Baiyu waved his hand towards the back, and the girl who was exhausted after chasing and falling a long distance suddenly understood, rolled her eyes fiercely, and made a drifting turn, walking behind a group of people complaining, but they couldn't help it. Do not chase after.
Seeing this, Zhao Baiyu suddenly became enlightened, laughed loudly, hugged Huo Jingtang's waist and asked him to go to a place, dig out the Qin wine brewed in the spring, and then return to the vast grassland to ride horses and revel .
When night fell, the two came to the uninhabited lake, lying on the blue-black rocks on the shore while drinking, looking at the stars all over the sky, blowing the wind of the summer night in the grassland, chatting about the extermination of the great summer. war.
"There is no suspense. The interior of Daxia is like a nest eaten by moths. Once the iron cavalry arrives, it is like entering a land of no one. The gate of the city welcomes the imperial army and bows their heads to bow their heads. Without Sang Liangyu, Daxia is like a broken arm. What's more, half of the nearly 30 soldiers and horses are in the northwest. Even if Tuoba Mingzhu and Gaoyishan have some talents, they are still stubborn His bravery was no match for the Dajing Forbidden Army, nor could it restore the popular will, and it collapsed like a rotten one."
But Daxia is not a bloodless person, and he also led the city to resist the Dajing Imperial Army for more than a month. Huo Jingtang said it with a bit of admiration. Of course, the point is to boast and ask Zhao Baiyu to boast. He, if there are repeated words, he will be disgusted with perfunctory.
"Speaking of which, when we captured Lingzhou, we did encounter difficulties and almost lost our troops. Someone in the Northwest Army confiscated the food and grass of the Zhejia army and strictly ordered them to stay where they were when they quickly attacked Lingzhou. Stand by for orders, and then prepare to claim merit. It would be fine if we captured Lingzhou, but we couldn’t do so for a long time, and because the Xia soldiers cut off the water of the Yellow River, flooding the Northwest Forbidden Army, almost wiped out the entire army.”
When mentioning this matter, Huo Jingtang's expression was half a smile, but if he looked into it carefully, it was full of cold killing intent.
"It's fine if Lingzhou is stupid. Later, when I captured the Xingqing Mansion and hunted down the Mongolian Qingqi, I ambushed me in a dangerous pass. I was caught and wanted to quibble. He mistakenly thought that my Tanghe cavalry was a Mongolian Qingqi—— Does Xiao Lang know who this person is?"
"Zheng Yuanling?"
"Yeah." Huo Jingtang turned over, buried his face in Zhao Baiyu's neck, bent one leg, put his left hand across his shoulder and said, "Sometimes it's hard for me to understand why so many people are staring at that chair. , Whether it is Zheng Yuanling, Lao Liu or Zheng Guogong's family, they all dedicated the best time of their lives to the frontier. Indeed, they have a lot of careful thought, but their loyalty in guarding the mountains and rivers and defending the people is not fake. Especially Lao Liu, who served in the Jizhou Army When Li was his major general, he was high-spirited, resourceful, and praised by everyone, and his methods were clean. He could not be called honest and benevolent, but he was honest, but when he went to the officialdom and returned to the court, chasing that chair, he became a follower. A person like a prince who has become dull, paranoid, and selfish can actually waste the lives of soldiers just for that little credit!"
"Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and one should seek power for thousands of years. It has been the same throughout the ages." Zhao Baiyu comforted Huo Jingtang.
Huo Jingtang laughed suddenly, "I have no right to say anything about others."
"How to say?"
"I also chased that chair before, probably because I knew His Majesty treats me differently since I was a child, and I could easily guess his thoughts. Even if I was thrown to Prince Jing's mansion, I firmly believed that it was His Majesty's test for me. He only wanted me to become a hero." Eagle and wolf kings are not domineering and weak kings. Even if you are angry with him, you will trust him. I have been to Jizhou, traveled to the northwest, and experienced life and death hardships. Tanghe cavalry, training my generals, placing chess pieces everywhere... Do you know that I have invited Chen Shidao?"
Zhao Baiyu was surprised: "I don't know."
"If he hadn't seen my ambition, how could he have believed that you married me to deceive others, to be my counselor and follow the dragon's merits?"
"It was so."
"When the prince's ambition was shattered by the torment of the poison, his majesty turned around and picked the sixth child, just like he trained me in the past, he did his best to train the sixth child, and let me be tortured by the poison day after day. Becoming more and more irritable, more and more notorious... When you went to collect the corpse, those people came in from the harem, and it was also the time when the voodoo riot broke out. I couldn't control it, saying that I was The cruelty of playing with the dead on the bed has spread, but His Majesty... remains indifferent."
Zhao Baiyu hugged Huo Jingtang tightly, even though he knew what happened to him, he still felt distressed when he heard him talk about it again.
"When I met you, you were very gentle, and in my heart you are a very good person."
He talked about his impression of Huo Jingtang.
"Do you know what I was thinking when you appeared in front of me and asked me to beat the Dengwen drum to save the benefactor?"
"what?"
"I was thinking, this person who has terrified me for two years is the only person in my 19 years of life who has made my way forward and turned me back. From then on, he is destined to be distinguished from everyone in the world. "
He is used to being alone, even if Nanny Xiu and Wei Bo care about and protect him, but most of the time he has to take care of him. No matter what kind of storms he faces, he is used to walking ahead. No one will open the way for him, let alone be there for him When the boat capsizes, he is used to being cautious in everything.
When he rescued Chen Shidao, he was determined to die, but Huo Jingtang appeared impartially at this moment.
Huo Jingtang chuckled a few times, and suddenly grabbed Zhao Baiyu from the rocks and turned into the lake. There was a loud splash, and a series of splashes were made. Zhao Baiyu choked on the lake water before he could react, and was quickly blocked by Huo Jingtang. Shut up, the water plants under the body are the bed, the palm-sized fish fry were awakened, and ran away in groups.
The clear lake water even allowed him to see the twinkling stars in the sky, and he could feel the heat of Huo Jingtang attached to it. It was the restlessness that even the cold lake water couldn't drench. Xia, who had done a great deed that the holy ancestors were not able to achieve, and rushed back day and night did not extinguish Huo Jingtang's excitement and mania.
It seems that the tender narration and the sadness revealed just now are just the fear of frightening Mr. Xiao Lang, deliberately cooling down the place, but unfortunately the effect is not significant.
With the sound of water splashing, Zhao Baiyu broke through the water, was lifted by Huo Jingtang, and leaned against the shore, the jade hairpin was pulled out, his hair was wet and scattered, nose to nose, hot, moist kisses fell on his head and face, Soon it changed from a gentle drizzle to a squall.
In this starry sky, grassland, and lake water, I vented all my energy, embraced the tiredness after being satisfied, sat on the ground under the curtain of the sky, and rode back on horseback until sunrise, looking at the embers of the bonfire that had burned all night from afar, Huo Jingtang He didn't go there, but hugged Zhao Baiyu and reprimanded him back to the house.
***
The Great Xia was destroyed and the Northwest Forbidden Army returned to the dynasty with a great victory. The shocking drama, the desire to establish a reserve is clearly revealed.
In the Hall of Wende, there are only Emperor Yuanshou, the eunuch, and a middle-aged man kneeling on the ground, who seems to have just finished his job report and is waiting to be dispatched.
After a long while, Emperor Yuanshou only said: "On this occasion of great joy, I am planning to go to the southern suburbs to worship the sky after the Mid-Autumn Festival." Putting down the memorial, he looked down at the person below, "Do you understand what I mean?"
The man next to him rolled his eyes, and after a little thought, he understood. He was frightened for a moment, speechless at Emperor Yuanshou's cruelty, but respectfully said on his face, "I obey the order!"
Emperor Yuanshou returned his attention to the memorial, and said lightly: "Go back, don't let people see it."
He asked the eunuch to send him there, and walked through the palace road that few people visited.
The two walked along the palace road, one behind the other, with two red palace walls, passing through a palace overgrown with weeds. The counselor walking behind put the purse into the hand of the eunuch and asked, "Your Majesty's mood." how'.
The eunuch looked around, then weighed the weight of the purse, and said kindly: "You still can't see it? You are overjoyed. This prosperous age has been opened in the hands of His Majesty. Those who deserved to fall have fallen, and they deserved it." When you get something, it goes well, and God’s will helps, so naturally everything should go smoothly and be perfect.” He lowered his voice and persuaded: “You, since you have done something that betrayed the Lord, don’t look back. At this juncture, But whoever dares to make His Majesty perfect, not only has to weigh his own head, but also has to think about his family."
"!" The counselor trembled, remembering the word 'bear the Lord', he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Thank you for your kind words, father-in-law."
The eunuch waved his hand: "I'll send you here, and be careful, don't let anyone see you."
The counselor thanked him and left, and the eunuch stood still for a while and then left.
There was a dead silence in the dilapidated palace, and suddenly there was the sound of fallen leaves being crushed. Someone came out from behind a creeper wall. His face was pale and his eyes were gloomy like water. He was the fifth prince who had kept a low profile since the death of the Eastern Palace.
***
Jin Wangfu.
The staff persuaded: "Written papers on martial arts, the prince of Lin'an County is better than you in everything, and His Majesty is partial to him. Also, Cai Zhongsheng returned to Beijing to report on his duties, but was demoted to the wilderness of the Southern Barbarians for no reason. There was no news from Mr. Zheng for many days. After returning, the military power on Huanqing Road was still inexplicably transferred to the lieutenant general. In addition, His Majesty's frequent actions are imminent. If Huo Jingtang is allowed to return to the capital safely, the crown prince may fall on his head. Even if you try hard, there is no chance!"
The former sixth prince and now Jin Wang: "In my opinion, sir, what should I do?"
Staff: "On this grand occasion, His Majesty will go to the southern suburbs to worship the heavens, and the Queen Mother will follow. There is no one in the palace, and the defense of the Imperial Guard is weak. This is a good time to seize power."
The King of Jin stared fixedly at his staff, seeing that the latter was terrified, then he looked away and frowned and said: "I have been struggling in recent years, the civil servant party has not been able to develop, and the military attache party has been cut to seven or eight, where did it come from?" Seize the military power?"
Staff: "Zheng Chuzhi was the captain of the Dragon and Tiger Camp at that time, and echoed with the chess pieces placed in the Imperial Palace. He got the jade seal and ribbon, held up the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and forced His Majesty to abdicate."
The garrison barracks stationed in Kyoto Prefecture are collectively called the Dragon and Tiger Camp, and it is also one of the 80 forbidden troops.
King Jin: "Sir, do you really want me to force the palace to rebel? If the East Palace loses like it did back then, you and I will all end up dead!"
The staff immediately knelt down, and responded sonorously: "This subordinate is willing to put his heart and soul to the heart of the prince, and die!"
King Jin stared at him with sharp eyes, and after a long while, he patted the armrest and laughed loudly: "Okay! Okay! Mister is the lonely right-hand man, the lonely Prime Minister Zhuge!" Then he sighed in a tone reminiscent of the past: "Mr. When did you come to Gu's side?"
"In the 18th year of Yuanshou, when the prince joined the army, he rescued his subordinate who was wronged and imprisoned on the way, and vindicated his family's grievances. The subordinate was grateful and vowed to serve His Highness for the rest of his life."
"Yuan hunting eighteen... It's been eight years." King Jin said thoughtfully: "If the great cause is successful, I will honor Mr. Sangong."
"Subordinates follow Your Highness only to repay your kindness, and only for His Highness's great success, not for the fame of the former and the latter!"
The King of Jin smiled, helped up his staff personally, expressed his sympathy as usual, discussed important matters in detail, and sent him away when he was almost done thinking about it. The smile on his face disappeared immediately, and he became sad, and his eyes gradually filled with deep sadness .
"Parents love their son, and they have far-reaching plans for it." King Jin moved his lips, "Gu believes that the reason why the father tried so hard to arrange Mr. to be with Gu was to better support Gu. But now, they have tried their best to make me fall into a place of calamity, and they also sincerely hope to die alone, but the true father's love...is not for me."
A person walked out from behind, the Fifth Prince with a blank face.
The sixth child has even been cared for by Emperor Yuanshou, and even the East Palace has been placed in hope, how about him?Even being used as a pawn, it seems that it is not qualified.
The prince and the sixth child are qualified to be sad, but he has nothing.
"Miss Dou, Master Zhao has black fish, but I don't?"
Hearing the voice, one could imagine Adjutant Cui's playful smile, not just in need of a beating.
"Call me Commander Dou."
"Commander Dou!"
"There are three black fishes under the straw basket. Anyway, if you want any extra, you can take them."
"Three?" Adjutant Cui's voice was full of surprises, "Two more than Mr. Zhao, Miss Dou, uh, no, Commander Dou, how sorry you gave me two more...Dead? You give Zhao Lord live fish, give me dead fish."
"if not?"
Immediately afterwards came the reprimand of the doctor, telling them to keep their voices down, and if they had nothing to do, they would go outside to help repair the city wall, but after a while, it quieted down, and there was a loud and clear cry from Haidongqing, from top to bottom, startled away from the eaves Nesting birds.
The wind rustled, the forest leaves caressed, the warm sunlight fell on the ground through the half-open window, and the dust jumped in the light. A figure walked by the window and came in from the outside. As soon as he raised his head, he met Zhao who opened his eyes on the bed. whitefish.
Huo Jingtang hurriedly put the medicine bowl aside, helped Zhao Baiyu up, and asked while touching his forehead, "Dizziness and chest tightness? Does the wound hurt or itch?"
Zhao Baiyu shook his head: "How long have I been asleep?"
Huo Jingtang: "Two days and three nights, excessive fatigue combined with inflammation and festering of the wound, caused a high fever. But I have survived the worse situation. It's just a minor situation right now. Look, you were awakened by me."
Zhao Baiyu held Huo Jingtang's hand to check his injuries: "How about you? Have you had a good rest?"
The Xiliang mansion and his party must be dangerous, and then they rushed on the road non-stop. When they came back, they faced the crisis of Jingzhou city being destroyed. Not only did he have to take care of the comatose man, but he also had to deal with the reconstruction of Jingzhou mansion and the Daxia army in Weizhou. I don’t know. Have you had a good rest.
Huo Jingtang: "It's okay, Cui Zong is putting ecstasy in my medicine, I also fell into a coma for a day and a night, my mental and physical strength has recovered, and the wound has scabbed over, it will be healed in ten and a half months."
Zhao Baiyu took the medicine he handed over and drank it all in one gulp, quickly grabbed the candied fruit and put it in his mouth to dilute the bitter taste, looked down at the bandages on his body and said with a smile: "Scars are the glory of a man. After returning to the capital, do you have any regrets against those pedantic people?" The capital of the old man and the reckless to show off."
Regardless of Zhao Baiyu's reputation as an upright and upright Qingtian, many officials who have been promoted in the past few years have made things difficult for him in the court because of his opposition. Yes, I'm afraid he fainted at the sight of blood, as if he had forgotten that he beheaded three hundred officials.
Then, clenched his fist and touched Huo Jingtang's fist, Zhao Baiyu grinned and said, "We both have medals on our bodies, we are a perfect match."
Huo Jingtang: "Are you still in the mood to joke around? Do you know that when I arrived, I saw the city was broken, and my heart almost stopped."
Zhao Baiyu: "Aren't you still alive?"
Huo Jingtang glared, and Zhao Baiyu begged for mercy: "If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed. Do you think I have experienced a few close deaths? I guess it will be difficult to end without a blessing like Donghai."
I don't know where I learned it. I don't know where I learned it. Maybe it's the ability to talk to people and talk to people when I was a child. Later, when I became an official, I got rid of it in order to be more stable. In the past few years, Huo Jing Under Tang's connivance, there were signs of recovery, which really amused Huo Jingtang.
He was not angry in the first place, it was a great fortune that Zhao Baiyu was safe and sound, how could Huo Jingtang be willing to be harsh?
"You shouldn't have transferred Zhe Qingfeng away."
"If you don't adjust it, you can adjust it, so what can you do?"
Huo Jingtang couldn't help laughing, and the posture he had finally erected was like a mountain collapsing in an instant. To be honest, speaking of the dangers he encountered at that time, fortunately, Zhe Qingfeng arrived in time, otherwise he might be buried in Daxia and never return. .
"Zhao Baiyu, you saved me again, you saved me twice, you brought me back from the brink of life and death, I owe you two lives."
"You also saved me twice..."
Huo Jingtang thought about it and felt that something was wrong, "Then we're even? Strictly speaking, I only saved you this time. I didn't save you last time. It was all thanks to the imperial physician. Tell me to owe you once." In order to get involved, he was very righteous: "Apart from the useless title, wealth, and fame, only this stalwart body and handsome face have some value, Mr. Xiaolang, Just let me promise myself."
"……roll."
Huo Jingtang kicked off his shoes and got on the bed. He hugged Zhao Baiyu for a while, and when it was time for dinner, he sent someone to the small kitchen to ask for the boiled black fish soup to replenish Zhao Baiyu's body.
On the third day, Zhao Baiyu was able to get out of bed and simply intervene in Jingzhou affairs. Various repairs in the mansion were in full swing, and all aspects of commerce, agriculture, and government were on the right track, and the difficulty in Weizhou was also resolved. The Bactria army that ran across the border were all beaten and fled. The news of Sang Liangyu's death seemed to spread throughout the northwest. The Turks moved on hearing the news and withdrew from the northwest border overnight.
The Northwest has temporarily returned to its former tranquility, but soldiers and horses from all walks of life are ready to go. Southern Xinjiang, Mongolia and Turks are all staring at each other. The internal turmoil in Daxia is just a piece of rotten meat that will not rot, attracting greedy vultures from the surrounding area. The latter three dare not mess around The reason for the move was that they found out that Dajing was mobilizing 63 soldiers in the northwest. They were afraid of bumping into this behemoth head-on and being retaliated against, so no one dared to move first.
A strange calm enveloped the northwest and the sky over Daxia. At this moment, Tuoba Mingzhu and Gao Yishan, who had fled in Daxia, proclaimed themselves emperors in Heishui Town and sent envoys to negotiate peace with Daxia.
One month has passed since the war triggered by Daxia, the imperial edict of the Kyoto Prefecture came down, ordering the troops of the Northwest Five Routes to attack Daxia from various routes, and Huo Jingtang would lead the troops.
The envoy from Daxia came to the Weizhou military camp, and was beheaded by Huo Jingtang on the spot as soon as he expressed his intention to come. Holding his head, he said: "The envoy from Daxia intends to assassinate this king. The heart is not dead. Our dynasty advocates peace for the sake of the peace of the people on the border. We are tolerant of Daxia who has repeatedly offended the northwest border. We have accepted his terms of peace talks several times, and we are open to discussion and friendly exchanges. However, the nobles of Daxia are not dead. Insatiable greed, frequent tricks—could the generals bear it?"
The soldiers were filled with righteous indignation, shouting that they can't bear it and don't want to bear it, they should destroy Daxia!
"Be patient, bear it, you can't bear it, you don't need to bear it anymore! All the soldiers and horses, ready to go, follow me to expand the territory, break through the Xingqing Mansion, and bring the shore of the Yellow River, the Gaohe grassland, and the Hexi Corridor into our university. Landscape map!"
A group of soldiers shouted immediately, the crowd was passionate, and their morale was unprecedentedly high.
***
Huo Jingtang and Zhao Baiyu separated again less than two months after their reunion, this time there wasn't much parting, they just said: "We live and die together."
Zhao Baiyu: "I brewed Qin wine, and it will be unsealed on the day you return to court after a big victory."
Huo Jingtang smiled boldly: "But I really don't want to come back!"
They bid farewell on this side, and no one was watching, because the mountain was full of people who came to see off willows, and not far away were Adjutant Cui and Miss Dou.
That Miss Dou is Dou Hong's youngest daughter. Her elder brother feigned surrender and died in the enemy camp in order to defend Jingzhou. Because of this, her old man's temples turned gray, and he couldn't bear him to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man again. It happened that Adjutant Cui fell in love with her at first sight and died. After two months of stalking, Miss Dou felt that he was not bad, and she was not a pushy person, so she agreed to Adjutant Cui's pursuit after several tests.
However, Ms. Dou accepted Adjutant Cui not for the purpose of getting rid of the military, but for giving birth to a child to comfort her father, to show her filial piety, and to be her female general in the future.
Find another way to fulfill filial piety and continue the career you love. No wonder women in Northwest China are immortal Populus euphratica.
Watching Huo Jingtang get on his horse and disappear into the team, Zhao Baiyu turned around and saw Zhao Changfeng not far away under a dry willow tree. The two looked at each other.
Zhao Changfeng came over and looked at Zhao Baiyu's face carefully. Since the palace banquet four years ago, he had never had the chance to see Zhao Baiyu again, and Goro was not very clear in his memory. Every time he recalled them, he became clearer about them. The original debt, the heart will fall into a suffocating pain.
"Goro has lost a lot of weight."
Zhao Baiyu smiled politely.
Zhao Changfeng bowed his head, hesitant to speak.
Zhao Baiyu sighed inwardly. He had no intention of renewing his relationship, nor did he intentionally trample on people's hearts. He just cupped his hands and said, "We are going thousands of miles away, and the journey is difficult and dangerous. I hope you will return the arrow with your kit, and return to court after victory. Nothing will happen."
Zhao Changfeng raised his eyes suddenly, so excited that it took him a while to say two words: "...Thank you."
Standing on the same spot and lingering, Zhao Changfeng had no choice but to get on his horse and leave after repeated urgings by his superiors. After walking a long way, the gentleman jade that was in his arms was originally a gift given to Zhao Baiyu as a weak crown ceremony several years ago. , still failed to send out.
The team went out like a long dragon, and disappeared in the afterglow of the setting sun. Behind, the people in the dry willow and ancient poplar forest reluctantly left until the moon climbed up the mountain.
***
The verbal order from the capital to summon Zhao Baiyu to go back came twice, but he pushed back both times on the grounds that he was busy with affairs in the northwest, and stayed in Jingzhou until the scorching heat came, and the end of June came quietly. With good news, the Xingqing Mansion was destroyed, and the army went straight to the Daxia Palace, capturing Tuoba Pearl and Gaoyi Mountain who were trying to escape again.
The former drew his sword and slayed himself, while the latter lamented that the day was too late and the time was not with me, so he also followed.
The other nobles of Great Xia all knelt down and begged for mercy, because those who dared to resist were killed by Sang Liangyu, but the people didn't care about the country's destruction. Years ago, none of them were the people of Daxia, they were of the same origin as the Northwest Tibetan tribe, and they had no patriotic feelings at all. Whose people should they be?
It is enough to eat and drink enough, at least in the future, you don’t need to go to the market to get approval from the government. From time to time, you encounter the tragic situation of the market being closed and the whole family follows the northwest wind. It is a good thing that Da Xia died.
When Daxia was destroyed, Huo Jingtang even led his troops to the southern border and Mongolia, which was his revenge.
The Turks next door to Daxia didn’t get any benefits either. Originally, the three-legged rivalry was restrained by Daxia, but now their lips are dead and their teeth are cold. , The gesture of urgency to sum up.
Now is not the time to deal with the Turks, so Emperor Yuanshou did not refuse the peace talks, but his attitude was tough, showing that he was going to slaughter the Turks and let out a bad breath.
***
In early July, the sun was scorching.
Zhelong Tianzhu, who has become the leader of the Zhelong clan, came from Yuanzhou and brought some gifts to meet Zhao Baiyu. They took care of them, so they sent flower cakes made by themselves, and heard that Long Tianzhu was going to meet her benefactor Zhao Baiyu, so he hurriedly handed over an extra basket of flower cakes and wedding candies and asked her to send them.
Therefore, Zhelong Tianzhu came to the confiscated mansion with big bags and small bags. He didn't see Zhao Baiyu. After asking, he found out that he had gone to the horse racing festival held by the local tribe in July.
The gatekeeper boy said: "Both Mr. Zhao and Mr. Dou were dragged to be referees. It was Ms. Dou's instigation, because only men can participate in the horse racing festival. Ms. Dou was so angry that she asked Mr. Zhao and Mr. Dou to operate in the dark. Agree to women's participation. Master Dou disagreed at first, but Master Zhao agreed very much, and proposed men's race group, women's race group, mixed race group... You know, this horse racing festival is not only about horse racing, but also other programs, from morning to It’s late, I guess we won’t leave until dawn tomorrow—are you planning to go too?”
Zhe Long Tianzhu has been a nun for decades, she has a stable temperament, and she is not used to too lively scenes, so she refuses.
"Can I wait in the mansion for a while—"
Before he finished speaking, he heard the neighing of a steed and the screeching of an eagle breaking through the sky in the distance. Looking back, the first thing that caught his eye was a handsome sea dongqing, followed by a man riding one by one. The chilling and icy aura rushed towards them, Zhelong Tianzhu and Xiaotong were both on guard.
When someone lifted off the cold iron mask, revealing the unique glass-colored Bodhisattva eyes and an unusually handsome face, the two recognized that it was Huo Jingtang, and then put down their guard.
"The little one, Mr. Long, has seen the general."
Huo Jingtang glanced at the deserted mansion, and asked, "Is Xiao Lang here?"
Xiao Tong answered truthfully, Huo Jingtang didn't say anything, and rode away.
Zhelong Tianzhu was slightly surprised: "The Forbidden Army Squad Master is back?"
If the class teacher came back, there should be a big commotion, maybe Lin'an County King couldn't bear the lovesickness, and left the army and ran back day and night by himself.
Laughing, Zhelong Tianzhu whispered: "The Han people in the Central Plains are not all rigid and rigid."
***
Jingzhou is a place where the Tibetans live together. On the grasslands, by the Pearl Lake, several wild horses are drinking water by the lake. In the distance is the horse racing festival, which is particularly lively and noisy.
Seeing Miss Dou galloping on a steed from a distance, holding the snatched lamb in her arms. The lamb was still wearing a flower ball, and she was too scared to move. There were a dozen horses chasing after her. , want to snatch the little lamb in Miss Dou's arms.
Standing by the lake, Zhao Baiyu, who was wearing a grass-white wide-sleeved shirt, looked back at the clear lake water, where he could see the black fish playing with the aquatic plants.
At this time, there was the sound of galloping horseshoes behind him. Zhao Baiyu thought it was some horse racing man who came to let the horse drink water, so he didn't care. Feeling the coldness of the armor, he was shocked for a moment, took a deep breath, stretched out his hands to wrap around the gangster's waist, and buried his face in it affectionately.
The horse racer noticed the abnormality and caught up nervously. Some people thought that the track had changed, so they also caught up. In a flash, there were dozens of horses behind them. , cheering and jumping for joy, endlessly.
Zhao Baiyu waved his hand towards the back, and the girl who was exhausted after chasing and falling a long distance suddenly understood, rolled her eyes fiercely, and made a drifting turn, walking behind a group of people complaining, but they couldn't help it. Do not chase after.
Seeing this, Zhao Baiyu suddenly became enlightened, laughed loudly, hugged Huo Jingtang's waist and asked him to go to a place, dig out the Qin wine brewed in the spring, and then return to the vast grassland to ride horses and revel .
When night fell, the two came to the uninhabited lake, lying on the blue-black rocks on the shore while drinking, looking at the stars all over the sky, blowing the wind of the summer night in the grassland, chatting about the extermination of the great summer. war.
"There is no suspense. The interior of Daxia is like a nest eaten by moths. Once the iron cavalry arrives, it is like entering a land of no one. The gate of the city welcomes the imperial army and bows their heads to bow their heads. Without Sang Liangyu, Daxia is like a broken arm. What's more, half of the nearly 30 soldiers and horses are in the northwest. Even if Tuoba Mingzhu and Gaoyishan have some talents, they are still stubborn His bravery was no match for the Dajing Forbidden Army, nor could it restore the popular will, and it collapsed like a rotten one."
But Daxia is not a bloodless person, and he also led the city to resist the Dajing Imperial Army for more than a month. Huo Jingtang said it with a bit of admiration. Of course, the point is to boast and ask Zhao Baiyu to boast. He, if there are repeated words, he will be disgusted with perfunctory.
"Speaking of which, when we captured Lingzhou, we did encounter difficulties and almost lost our troops. Someone in the Northwest Army confiscated the food and grass of the Zhejia army and strictly ordered them to stay where they were when they quickly attacked Lingzhou. Stand by for orders, and then prepare to claim merit. It would be fine if we captured Lingzhou, but we couldn’t do so for a long time, and because the Xia soldiers cut off the water of the Yellow River, flooding the Northwest Forbidden Army, almost wiped out the entire army.”
When mentioning this matter, Huo Jingtang's expression was half a smile, but if he looked into it carefully, it was full of cold killing intent.
"It's fine if Lingzhou is stupid. Later, when I captured the Xingqing Mansion and hunted down the Mongolian Qingqi, I ambushed me in a dangerous pass. I was caught and wanted to quibble. He mistakenly thought that my Tanghe cavalry was a Mongolian Qingqi—— Does Xiao Lang know who this person is?"
"Zheng Yuanling?"
"Yeah." Huo Jingtang turned over, buried his face in Zhao Baiyu's neck, bent one leg, put his left hand across his shoulder and said, "Sometimes it's hard for me to understand why so many people are staring at that chair. , Whether it is Zheng Yuanling, Lao Liu or Zheng Guogong's family, they all dedicated the best time of their lives to the frontier. Indeed, they have a lot of careful thought, but their loyalty in guarding the mountains and rivers and defending the people is not fake. Especially Lao Liu, who served in the Jizhou Army When Li was his major general, he was high-spirited, resourceful, and praised by everyone, and his methods were clean. He could not be called honest and benevolent, but he was honest, but when he went to the officialdom and returned to the court, chasing that chair, he became a follower. A person like a prince who has become dull, paranoid, and selfish can actually waste the lives of soldiers just for that little credit!"
"Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and one should seek power for thousands of years. It has been the same throughout the ages." Zhao Baiyu comforted Huo Jingtang.
Huo Jingtang laughed suddenly, "I have no right to say anything about others."
"How to say?"
"I also chased that chair before, probably because I knew His Majesty treats me differently since I was a child, and I could easily guess his thoughts. Even if I was thrown to Prince Jing's mansion, I firmly believed that it was His Majesty's test for me. He only wanted me to become a hero." Eagle and wolf kings are not domineering and weak kings. Even if you are angry with him, you will trust him. I have been to Jizhou, traveled to the northwest, and experienced life and death hardships. Tanghe cavalry, training my generals, placing chess pieces everywhere... Do you know that I have invited Chen Shidao?"
Zhao Baiyu was surprised: "I don't know."
"If he hadn't seen my ambition, how could he have believed that you married me to deceive others, to be my counselor and follow the dragon's merits?"
"It was so."
"When the prince's ambition was shattered by the torment of the poison, his majesty turned around and picked the sixth child, just like he trained me in the past, he did his best to train the sixth child, and let me be tortured by the poison day after day. Becoming more and more irritable, more and more notorious... When you went to collect the corpse, those people came in from the harem, and it was also the time when the voodoo riot broke out. I couldn't control it, saying that I was The cruelty of playing with the dead on the bed has spread, but His Majesty... remains indifferent."
Zhao Baiyu hugged Huo Jingtang tightly, even though he knew what happened to him, he still felt distressed when he heard him talk about it again.
"When I met you, you were very gentle, and in my heart you are a very good person."
He talked about his impression of Huo Jingtang.
"Do you know what I was thinking when you appeared in front of me and asked me to beat the Dengwen drum to save the benefactor?"
"what?"
"I was thinking, this person who has terrified me for two years is the only person in my 19 years of life who has made my way forward and turned me back. From then on, he is destined to be distinguished from everyone in the world. "
He is used to being alone, even if Nanny Xiu and Wei Bo care about and protect him, but most of the time he has to take care of him. No matter what kind of storms he faces, he is used to walking ahead. No one will open the way for him, let alone be there for him When the boat capsizes, he is used to being cautious in everything.
When he rescued Chen Shidao, he was determined to die, but Huo Jingtang appeared impartially at this moment.
Huo Jingtang chuckled a few times, and suddenly grabbed Zhao Baiyu from the rocks and turned into the lake. There was a loud splash, and a series of splashes were made. Zhao Baiyu choked on the lake water before he could react, and was quickly blocked by Huo Jingtang. Shut up, the water plants under the body are the bed, the palm-sized fish fry were awakened, and ran away in groups.
The clear lake water even allowed him to see the twinkling stars in the sky, and he could feel the heat of Huo Jingtang attached to it. It was the restlessness that even the cold lake water couldn't drench. Xia, who had done a great deed that the holy ancestors were not able to achieve, and rushed back day and night did not extinguish Huo Jingtang's excitement and mania.
It seems that the tender narration and the sadness revealed just now are just the fear of frightening Mr. Xiao Lang, deliberately cooling down the place, but unfortunately the effect is not significant.
With the sound of water splashing, Zhao Baiyu broke through the water, was lifted by Huo Jingtang, and leaned against the shore, the jade hairpin was pulled out, his hair was wet and scattered, nose to nose, hot, moist kisses fell on his head and face, Soon it changed from a gentle drizzle to a squall.
In this starry sky, grassland, and lake water, I vented all my energy, embraced the tiredness after being satisfied, sat on the ground under the curtain of the sky, and rode back on horseback until sunrise, looking at the embers of the bonfire that had burned all night from afar, Huo Jingtang He didn't go there, but hugged Zhao Baiyu and reprimanded him back to the house.
***
The Great Xia was destroyed and the Northwest Forbidden Army returned to the dynasty with a great victory. The shocking drama, the desire to establish a reserve is clearly revealed.
In the Hall of Wende, there are only Emperor Yuanshou, the eunuch, and a middle-aged man kneeling on the ground, who seems to have just finished his job report and is waiting to be dispatched.
After a long while, Emperor Yuanshou only said: "On this occasion of great joy, I am planning to go to the southern suburbs to worship the sky after the Mid-Autumn Festival." Putting down the memorial, he looked down at the person below, "Do you understand what I mean?"
The man next to him rolled his eyes, and after a little thought, he understood. He was frightened for a moment, speechless at Emperor Yuanshou's cruelty, but respectfully said on his face, "I obey the order!"
Emperor Yuanshou returned his attention to the memorial, and said lightly: "Go back, don't let people see it."
He asked the eunuch to send him there, and walked through the palace road that few people visited.
The two walked along the palace road, one behind the other, with two red palace walls, passing through a palace overgrown with weeds. The counselor walking behind put the purse into the hand of the eunuch and asked, "Your Majesty's mood." how'.
The eunuch looked around, then weighed the weight of the purse, and said kindly: "You still can't see it? You are overjoyed. This prosperous age has been opened in the hands of His Majesty. Those who deserved to fall have fallen, and they deserved it." When you get something, it goes well, and God’s will helps, so naturally everything should go smoothly and be perfect.” He lowered his voice and persuaded: “You, since you have done something that betrayed the Lord, don’t look back. At this juncture, But whoever dares to make His Majesty perfect, not only has to weigh his own head, but also has to think about his family."
"!" The counselor trembled, remembering the word 'bear the Lord', he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Thank you for your kind words, father-in-law."
The eunuch waved his hand: "I'll send you here, and be careful, don't let anyone see you."
The counselor thanked him and left, and the eunuch stood still for a while and then left.
There was a dead silence in the dilapidated palace, and suddenly there was the sound of fallen leaves being crushed. Someone came out from behind a creeper wall. His face was pale and his eyes were gloomy like water. He was the fifth prince who had kept a low profile since the death of the Eastern Palace.
***
Jin Wangfu.
The staff persuaded: "Written papers on martial arts, the prince of Lin'an County is better than you in everything, and His Majesty is partial to him. Also, Cai Zhongsheng returned to Beijing to report on his duties, but was demoted to the wilderness of the Southern Barbarians for no reason. There was no news from Mr. Zheng for many days. After returning, the military power on Huanqing Road was still inexplicably transferred to the lieutenant general. In addition, His Majesty's frequent actions are imminent. If Huo Jingtang is allowed to return to the capital safely, the crown prince may fall on his head. Even if you try hard, there is no chance!"
The former sixth prince and now Jin Wang: "In my opinion, sir, what should I do?"
Staff: "On this grand occasion, His Majesty will go to the southern suburbs to worship the heavens, and the Queen Mother will follow. There is no one in the palace, and the defense of the Imperial Guard is weak. This is a good time to seize power."
The King of Jin stared fixedly at his staff, seeing that the latter was terrified, then he looked away and frowned and said: "I have been struggling in recent years, the civil servant party has not been able to develop, and the military attache party has been cut to seven or eight, where did it come from?" Seize the military power?"
Staff: "Zheng Chuzhi was the captain of the Dragon and Tiger Camp at that time, and echoed with the chess pieces placed in the Imperial Palace. He got the jade seal and ribbon, held up the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and forced His Majesty to abdicate."
The garrison barracks stationed in Kyoto Prefecture are collectively called the Dragon and Tiger Camp, and it is also one of the 80 forbidden troops.
King Jin: "Sir, do you really want me to force the palace to rebel? If the East Palace loses like it did back then, you and I will all end up dead!"
The staff immediately knelt down, and responded sonorously: "This subordinate is willing to put his heart and soul to the heart of the prince, and die!"
King Jin stared at him with sharp eyes, and after a long while, he patted the armrest and laughed loudly: "Okay! Okay! Mister is the lonely right-hand man, the lonely Prime Minister Zhuge!" Then he sighed in a tone reminiscent of the past: "Mr. When did you come to Gu's side?"
"In the 18th year of Yuanshou, when the prince joined the army, he rescued his subordinate who was wronged and imprisoned on the way, and vindicated his family's grievances. The subordinate was grateful and vowed to serve His Highness for the rest of his life."
"Yuan hunting eighteen... It's been eight years." King Jin said thoughtfully: "If the great cause is successful, I will honor Mr. Sangong."
"Subordinates follow Your Highness only to repay your kindness, and only for His Highness's great success, not for the fame of the former and the latter!"
The King of Jin smiled, helped up his staff personally, expressed his sympathy as usual, discussed important matters in detail, and sent him away when he was almost done thinking about it. The smile on his face disappeared immediately, and he became sad, and his eyes gradually filled with deep sadness .
"Parents love their son, and they have far-reaching plans for it." King Jin moved his lips, "Gu believes that the reason why the father tried so hard to arrange Mr. to be with Gu was to better support Gu. But now, they have tried their best to make me fall into a place of calamity, and they also sincerely hope to die alone, but the true father's love...is not for me."
A person walked out from behind, the Fifth Prince with a blank face.
The sixth child has even been cared for by Emperor Yuanshou, and even the East Palace has been placed in hope, how about him?Even being used as a pawn, it seems that it is not qualified.
The prince and the sixth child are qualified to be sad, but he has nothing.
