King's Landing [Rebirth]

When Mei Zhenghan brought Liang Jian out of the prison, he couldn't help frowning when he saw the injuries on his body. Li Yu said that Liang Jian should not be embarrassed. It is impossible for anyone in the prison to dare to be so bold. Mei Zhenghan asked Who did it twice, Liang Jian said that he would solve it.

Mei Zhenghan paused, and said in a muffled voice: "I always feel that I have been excluded by you since I entered the royal city this time. There seems to be a high wall between us, and I can't see anything."

Liang Jian's repeated avoidance of the question made Mei Zhenghan feel uncomfortable, diluting the joy of being rescued, and he seemed to be getting farther and farther away from Liang Jian.

Liang Jian's heart tightened, and she raised her eyes to look at Mei Zhenghan, her beautiful peach eyes were still full of tenderness.He held Mei Zhenghan's hand, let most of his body weight lean on him, and said, "Zhenghan, do you trust me?"

Mei Zhenghan smiled and said, "I never doubted it."

The words were firm, but his expression was a little sad.

Liang Jian lowered her eyes, avoiding his burning eyes, and said, "Then continue to trust me."

After Mei Zhenghan moved into the Princess Mansion, she brought Liang Jian's belongings and subordinates in the post house to the Princess Mansion. Liang Jian took a bath in the mansion to clean up the wounds on his body, and then changed into official clothes and entered the palace to meet the saint.

Li Yu had already been waiting in the imperial study room, he had just finished explaining the military situation to Shan Chongfei, and asked Shan Chongfei to rush back immediately.At the same time, two urgent orders were sent to Yan Qingqing and Wang Boyang, asking them to count the generals.

Liang Jian saluted, Li Yu stood up from the dragon chair, walked to him and stared at the scars on his face for a while, frowning.Liang Jian raised his hand to touch the whip wound on his chin, and said, "It's just a disfigurement, why is Your Majesty so interested?"

Li Yu snorted coldly, with an angry look on his face.He had given an order not to embarrass Liang Jian, but there were still people who dared to go past him and disobeyed the order. It was really a good thing, thinking that he would die.

"Do you know what I'm looking for you to do?" Li Yu asked, looking away from Liang Jian's wound.

Liang Jian nodded: "Hongye City is urgently attacked, Your Majesty wants me to go back and preside over the overall situation."

Li Yu squinted at him when he heard the words, and said: "No, I want you to recommend a candidate for me, and let the other party solve the difficulties in Hongye City on your behalf."

Liang Jian was stunned. He thought that Li Yu released him to lead troops to fight, but now it seems that the other party didn't have this idea. Is it because he is afraid of him holding the military power?

Liang Jian's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head and said in puzzlement, "I don't understand what your majesty means. Your majesty asked me to recommend someone instead of rushing back immediately. Is he planning to keep me in custody?"

Li Yu sneered, and said with deep meaning: "If I take you into custody, Jiangnan and West Yunnan will be lost on a large scale within three days."

Liang Jian was silent and did not answer the words.

Li Yu was not in the mood to tangle with him on this matter, and said: "In ancient times, food, grass and military pay in the rear were the most important things in the battle. I want you to stay in the king's city to allocate supplies from all directions and command the battle. Although Jincheng's instructor is a woman , but she has the intellect of a man. If she is not directly promoted and someone refuses to accept it, I plan to let her lead the army. Zheng Han said that she is the person you recommended to Yan Qingqing, then you must be familiar with her, you send She will be convinced."

Facing the outbreak of war, Li Yu didn't panic in the slightest. He could see the situation clearly and knew how to employ people, which was very different from the puppet who was slaughtered by others in his previous life.Liang Jian looked at him in surprise, as if he had never seen this person clearly.Not to mention the memorials that participated in him, Li Yu's words just now showed that he knew everything, and his heart was like a mirror, but he never said anything, nor did he stop him, watching Liang Jian develop little by little.

Liang Jian's heart was clear, Li Yu kept him in Wangcheng to take him as a hostage, to hold the situation of the Quartet hostage.

"Your Majesty already has someone in mind, so why ask the minister again."

Red Leaf City is Liang Jian's base camp, civil servants and military generals only obey his orders, and the court's sudden parachute of a person to manage it will definitely cause suspicion, so only one person can be brought out from inside Hongye City.Not only must this person be talented, but his status must not be inferior to Liang Jian's. After counting, there is only the second son Mei Zhenghan.

Li Yu had already made a decision to keep the Liang Jian in Wangcheng as a hostage. Even if the military power was lost due to the war, others would not dare to act rashly.

Li Yu saw Liang Jian's attitude of replying a little indifferently, knowing that his arrangement made him very dissatisfied, and he couldn't push people into a hurry, so he pretended to be relaxed and said: "I thought you would fight for one or two."

A sneer flashed across Liang Jian's face, and he said: "Your Majesty is willing to reuse him to save face for the Eldest Princess, so why should I hinder his bright future?"

Li Yu paused, glanced at Liang Jian and didn't say much.He used his own method to plant a seed of distrust between Liang Jian and Mei Zhenghan, just waiting for a chance to germinate.

The news that Mei Zhenghan played against Liang Jian of Fujian State to guard the Wangcheng spread quickly, and everyone was surprised by Li Yu's decision.He let Liang Jian out but didn't use him. Instead, he seemed to take Liang Jian as a hostage.Princess Dachang originally planned to bring Mei Zhenghan back to Mobei, but Li Yu's order dispelled her idea.

The war is urgent, and there is not much time left for everyone to reminisce about the past. Liang Jianjian stayed in Wangcheng. Before leaving, the eldest princess handed over the princess mansion to him as his residence here.

Mei Zhenghan was also leaving soon, and he had a long talk with Liang Jian the night before his departure.It's not a private conversation between lovers, but Liang Jian's analysis of the war with Fujian for him.They didn't confront Min State for a day or two, and Yang Junning even fought several times. Min State's Gu and insects are extremely lethal on the battlefield. Liang Jian didn't want Mei Zhenghan to take risks. He was supposed to go to the battlefield. Mei Zhenghan stayed behind.

Li Yu messed up his plan, but it's not impossible to recover, it just needs to be modified slightly.

"You can't go to Hongye City without the help of the girls from Shengxue. Be sure to ensure their safety. I'll wait for you at the back." Liang Jian said calmly, but couldn't help worrying in his heart, and hugged her tightly. Mei Zhenghan was unwilling to let go.

In the previous life, Qiu Tong suffered from internal and external troubles, and Li Yu was a puppet emperor. He lost the military power in the hands of Princess Dachang and Mu Cheng, causing Bei Di to drive straight to occupy Mobei, and set up camp in the north of western Yunnan and continued to invade.In the battle against Fujian in the west of Yunnan, they were repeatedly defeated by insects, so the war in the previous life was very difficult.

In this life, Liang Jian cannot avoid wars, but he has planned for two years, and he has enough strength to resist foreign wars, and he will not be helpless.

They still have a long way to go, but it won't be that hard.

The next day, Mei Zhenghan went on the road alone, leaving Liang Jian with all the guards he brought from Hongye City.The battlefield is full of dangers, and the royal city is not so safe.Mei Zhenghan knew that Liang Jian was capable of protecting himself, but he still hoped that there would be more people around him, so that he would be unharmed.

The war continued from winter to spring. Liang Jian could receive battle reports from all over the world every day, and most of Tingyin Pavilion's forces were dispatched to and from the battlefield and the royal city.During the day, Liang Jian was arguing with the courtiers in the court hall to curb their desire to make peace, and at night, he had to deal with Li Yu to sort out the battle situation, bearing the pressure from all directions in the huge royal city alone.

Mobei and Beidi have formed a tug-of-war, the two sides are not giving in, Beidi did not get any benefits, and Mobei's casualties are not optimistic.Seeing that the spring is picking up and the water and grass are luxuriant, Beidi faintly wants to retire.

The west side of Yunnan is even worse. They were originally two battlefields, one in Hongye City and the other in Huyakou.But with the advancement of Fujian and the transfer of Huyakou bandits, they finally formed a united front against Qiu Tong's army.Under Liang Jian's dispatch, Shan Chongfei also joined the Jincheng Army led by Mei Zhenghan to establish a unified camp.

The situation in Jiangnan was a little bit better. After receiving Liang Jian's letter, Wang Boyang immediately began to mobilize troops into Jiangcheng and set up a battle line at the border of the water area.Pengxian Island is cautious and cunning, they will not invade with great fanfare, they will only send small groups of forces to harass.

Warships are needed to fight water battles. Jiangnan has the troops and warships that can deter Pengxian Island. With Pengxian Island's temperament, it is impossible to start a large-scale war without being sure that it will be safe.This allowed Qiu Tong to take a breather from the tense situation, and also allowed Liang Jian to free up his hands to focus on dealing with Fujian.

The spring passed quickly, and the war continued into the summer. The war in Mobei also made decisive progress. Beidi could not afford a long war and sent people to negotiate peace. They were willing to surrender to Qiutong forever, and paid enough horses every year to facilitate Qiutong's training. cavalry.

Liang Jian finally had a smile on his face when he received the news. At the same time, Wang Boyang also secretly sent him a letter to Pengxian Island asking for peace.They said that what happened in winter was just a misunderstanding, and they didn't want to have a bad relationship with Qiu Tong, hoping to restore the previous trade relationship.

"Offending my territory in Qiutong, beheading hundreds of soldiers and killing countless boat people, you actually want to expose it lightly with a single misunderstanding. There is no such cheap deal in the world." Liang Jian sneered after reading the letter, and threw the letter into the The brazier was burned to ashes. He knew very well the cunning of Pengxian Island. At this time, he just found out that he couldn't get a deal for peace. They will come back next time they have a chance.

Liang Jian wrote back to Wang Boyang asking him to ignore the peace and continue to strengthen his guard, just as a training soldier.

The easing of the war also made Qiu Tongnei a little more happy. Li Yu happily held several banquets in the palace and planned to amnesty the world, but was persuaded by Liang Jian.

For more than half a year, Li Yu kept Liang Jian in Wangcheng as a hostage, but never intervened in the war. As much power as he promised to Liang Jian at the beginning, Liang Jian can use as much power unimpeded, and it doesn't matter if anyone intervenes.

After all, Li Yu pampered Liang Jian, and sometimes he couldn't tell if his intentions for Liang Jian were caused by his desire to conquer or because he really liked him.

The letter of credence for Mobei's peace was already on the way, and the war in western Yunnan was also at a stalemate, Liang Jian was able to recuperate for a while.

However, although the idea is good, the reality is not as expected. The foreign aggression was suppressed, but a major incident occurred in the palace.

I don't know if the war caused too many people to die in vain, and the palace was actually haunted. Many concubines saw people who died in the war wandering in groups in the palace at night.Many of them lacked arms and legs, and their bodies were either stained with blood or burning with raging fire. For a while, people in the harem were panicked.

The courtiers even had a quarrel in the court because of this matter. Some people accused Tang Wanyi of being the harem lord but she has lost her morals.

Liang Jian was not interested in the affairs of the harem, and stood in the court hall without interest, listening to the quarrel between Tang Yeyu's men and Fu Kun's men.

Li Yu was already annoyed by the matter in the harem, but he didn't expect that the court would make a fuss because of this matter, and he flew into a rage, and shouted: "I don't know when all my loves are so impressed by the matter in my harem." Interesting, I don't believe that those souls will come to the court. Any difference must be man-made. I want to see who is doing evil in my harem. Since you have nothing to say, then retreat to the court, Liang Jian, you stay. "

With a big wave of his hand, Li Yu isolated all the noise from the palace, and asked Liang Jian to accompany him to the imperial garden.

"Liang Jian, do you believe in the theory of ghosts and gods?" Li Yu looked at the colorful flowers in the garden, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

Liang Jiandao: "I don't even believe it. Your Majesty the Ninth Five-Year Supreme True Dragon Emperor, if there are ghosts and gods who should fear you, how could they appear by your side. I feel that this is strange, maybe it is really man-made. Your Majesty, why don't you issue an order to completely revere you?" check……"

Before Liang Jian finished speaking, Li Yu suddenly raised his hand to stop his words, looked solemnly at the pool in the center of the imperial garden, pointed to the peach-red place under a lotus leaf and said, "What is that?"

Liang Jian looked at his hand, frowned and said, "It seems to be a person..."

Li Yu was stunned, and immediately ordered people to go down to check. The father-in-law who went into the water swam over and touched the peach-red thing. The dead body screamed out of fright.

After hearing the news, the guards came to salvage the body quickly, Liang Jian was afraid that Li Yu's eyes would be dirty and told him not to look at it.Li Yu's face was livid, and he was trembling with anger. Someone died in the pond in the imperial garden, but no one found out, he came to see it himself, what did everyone in the palace do for food.

The corpse had been soaked in the water for a long time, and it was already highly decomposed, showing the appearance of a giant. The face was extremely difficult to identify, and the identity could only be confirmed based on the clothes on the body and the salvaged items.Li Yu called Wu for an autopsy. There were no other injuries on his body, and he seemed to have fallen into the water and died.

The time of death was at least three days ago, and the age was estimated to be around 22 years old based on bone age.

Hearing that Li Yu fell into the water after falling into the water, Li Yu's complexion looked much better, so he sent someone to check the rosters of each palace to see who was missing.

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's necessary to count the rosters of the palaces. You see, the clothes this person wears are gorgeous, and the jewelry salvaged together is either jade or gold and silver. He is definitely not an ordinary court lady. And her clothes are made of tribute from the south of the Yangtze River." Shuiyun Duan, I'm afraid his status in the palace is not low."

Liang Jian glanced at the corpse's belongings. He wanted to take a closer look at the corpse, but Li Yu stared back.

Except for the emperor, no one can arrange the tributes in the palace at will. If you dare to forge clothes with water clouds in a fair manner, the cloth must be rewarded by the emperor.Li Yu thought about it carefully, his complexion suddenly turned ugly, he had just rewarded Fu Yun with the pink water cloud forging not long ago.

Fu Yun was a female official in the palace, and for Fu Kun's sake, Li Yu still took good care of her.

If the person who died was Fu Yun, then things would be a big deal.

Li Yu's eyebrows twitched, and he was about to wave for Eunuch Ma to check it out, but before he could say anything, he heard the maid on the side screaming.

The palace maid sat slumped on the ground, pointing tremblingly at the corpse on the ground, her complexion pale, trembling | said: "Move...move...move, she just moved."

A sentence full of fear caused the people around to break into a cold sweat in the summer, and many people began to tremble in their legs.

As soon as Li Yu frowned, he was ready to have someone drag this court lady down and execute her.Liang Jian stopped him and signaled a guard to come forward to check the corpse. The guard was quite courageous. He walked over to check and found that it wasn't the corpse that moved, but a frog that was held down when the corpse was down.

The frog was the size of a human's palm, with something in its mouth, and the guard snatched it away with a flick of his heart.It was a signboard of a female official in the palace, with the word Fu written on it, the person who died was really Fu Yun.

This time, not only the court lady just now, but several other palace servants also slumped on the ground, one of them murmured: "No, it can't be, it can't be her. She sent us a task yesterday, and because Xiao Xing did it slowly She slapped her. How could she have died three days ago, so who was that person yesterday?"

There was uncontrollable fear and trembling in the palace man's voice, Liang Jian and Li Yu looked at each other with a solemn look in each other's eyes.

The harem was haunted first, and then Fu Yun, who had been dead for many days, was still living a normal life in the palace. These things became more and more mysterious.
