sick princess

The impact of the Beirong incident lasted for several months, and just when everyone thought that this war would turn into a years-long bitter battle, it came to an abrupt end in this way.

I heard that the border between Beirong and Daxia was devastated, with heavy casualties, but similarly, Beirong King City was not able to please. A city that was originally prosperous, has withered a lot due to Daxia's attack.If you don't work hard for five or ten years, don't even think about recovering.

In this battle, two names are destined to be remembered.

One is General Shi Mohuai, who delayed the fighter plane and embezzled the military salary, which almost caused a catastrophe.He was notorious for dying in such an infamous way on the eve of the war.

I heard that even the queen mother gave up on this nephew of her natal family and came forward in person to ask Emperor Zhaode to punish him severely.After cultivating such a child, the Empress Dowager's natal Shi family will naturally be implicated.But the queen mother's behavior this time was uncharacteristically, she did not intend to protect the Shi family at all.

She said to Emperor Zhaode: "The Ai family knows that the emperor usually looks after the Ai family's face and takes good care of the useless children of the Ai family's natal family. These unfilial children are not only unable to share the emperor's worries, but also create such a basket Come on, it's absolutely relentless. The emperor just needs to deal with it with his own hands, and doesn't need to look at the face of the Ai family. As for the Shi family, the emperor can punish him as he pleases, so he can punish them. Today, he punished them severely to make them not want to Repeat Shi Mohuai's mistakes."

Emperor Zhaode was quite wary of the Empress Dowager at first, the Empress Dowager's natal family was in charge of the army, Shi Mohuai had done something bad this time, the Empress Dowager had to find ways to separate Shi Mohuai from the Shi family and keep the Shi family, so that the Shi family could continue to rule The possibility of military power.

He did not expect that the Empress Dowager would completely let go of this matter.Could it be that the Empress Dowager has no ambitions all along, is he wrong?Or is it that the Empress Dowager relies on others, so it doesn't matter even if one of the Shi family is abandoned?

Emperor Zhaode naturally knew that the latter possibility was very low.The queen mother has been in the deep palace for these years, and there are only a few people who come and go back and forth on weekdays.Besides the mother clan, who else can she rely on?Is it the wives of her deceased parent and child?But back then, ever since her parents and daughter-in-law died in the conspiracy, her family of wives also declined rapidly, and now, she must be too busy to take care of herself.

Emperor Zhaode shook his head, dispelled the guess, and the fear of the queen mother in his heart also disappeared.

He said: "The queen mother really understands righteousness. If all my subjects are like the queen mother, I don't have to worry about it. The queen mother can rest assured that Shi Mohuai, the chief culprit, is dead. I won't implicate the rest of my uncle's family. However, the Shi family cannot continue to control the army. This time, Shi Mohuai made such a big mistake, and I will always give an explanation to the people of the world."

From the beginning to the end, what Emperor Zhaode wanted was the military power of the Shi family.As long as the military power can return to his hands, it will be easy to say.Since the queen mother is so knowledgeable and interesting, he doesn't need to kill the Shi family.

The queen mother nodded slightly: "The emperor can handle these things as he sees fit. There is no need to tell the Ai family. Ai family is a woman, what do they know? If they can raise Xiao Wu properly, the Ai family will be satisfied."

Emperor Zhaode waved his hand and said: "Recently, I got a copybook from a famous artist, which is suitable for Xiao Wu. I will send someone to send it to Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu is smart and handsome. In the future, when he enters the court to listen to the government, he will be named a king and build a mansion. His achievements will certainly not be inferior to those of his elder brothers."

The Empress Dowager finally showed a little smile: "You have accepted the emperor's auspicious words. Aijia doesn't expect Xiao Wu to be very successful, just ask him not to lose the face of our emperor."

After sending Emperor Zhaode away, the Empress Dowager rubbed her temples and said, "You are really idiots, each one of them is eager for quick success, and only thinks about how to take a shortcut and take Bei Rong down, so as to claim credit, but I don't know, Ai's family is the worst!" What is unnecessary is their self-assertion.”

"Now, things have not been done, and the military power has been lost. Tomorrow, we will go underground and see how they explain to their ancestors!"

Don't look at the empress dowager's righteous and indifferent look in front of Emperor Zhaode, her heart is about to bleed.Although she and Xiao Wu had the support of that person outside the palace, that person was no more reliable than her natal family.

If she hadn't known that this matter was irretrievable, the queen mother would not have taken the initiative to let Emperor Zhaode take back the military power of the Shi family, and took this opportunity to show Emperor Zhaode that she had no ambitions.All of this is nothing but the queen mother's way of stopping losses in time.

This time, although Emperor Zhaode believed it, the Queen Mother paid a very heavy price.

In this battle, another person who will be remembered is naturally Lan Chengyu.

This young general was only 15 years old, too young, but he was able to make outstanding achievements repeatedly. It didn't count that he fought all the way to the royal court of Xiliang, but he did the same thing. When the war in the north was at its most critical, he surrounded the royal court of Beirong and forced the northern army to fight. King Rong retreated.

Originally, Duke An was already considered a very calm and prudent famous general in the dynasty, but who would have thought that his son had the posture of being better than blue than blue.

Such age and such achievements are unavoidable to be admired.

Many courtiers in the court were very excited. They saw the shadows of some legendary generals in Lan Chengyu's body.Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in Daxia, there have been constant internal and external troubles, and it is the time when generals are in urgent need.They were naturally happy to see such a good seed rise with their own eyes.

It's just that some people are happy and some are not.

A minister of the Zhuhe faction came out and said: "Your Majesty, An Guogong and his son went to war with Xiliang without waiting for the emperor's decree. It is a treasonous act. I beg the emperor to severely punish this, otherwise, other people will be killed in the future." If the defenders try to follow suit, the consequences will be disastrous."

"When you are away, it is normal for you to be dissatisfied with your life. If you come back, you have to wait for the response from the court, and wait for Mr. Du to quarrel with other adults for days and nights to decide whether it is a war or a peace. This battle Don't fight at all, it would be much happier to just kneel in front of the foreigners and surrender."

"Extremely, you will be criticized by Master Du if you lose a battle, and you will be criticized by Master Du if you win a battle. Why is it so difficult for this general? Since Master Du is so capable, next time, it is better to send Master Du to the border. Go. Before the big battle begins, Master Du, please use your mouth to cut down the enemy's numbers first, and you will surely be able to defeat the enemy without fighting."

Master Du blushed from being scolded, and was about to refute, but saw Emperor Zhaode said with a disappointed face: "Stop arguing, just do your job well, don't stretch your hands too far."

Emperor Zhaode was in high spirits when he received the good news at the border, and was about to hold a celebration banquet for General Lan and Lan Chengyu, but in the end, someone ran out to disrupt the situation without looking too far. It's no wonder that Emperor Zhaode was in a good mood.

The prince pursed his lips and watched the farce in front of him, smiled without saying a word.

If it was him who won the battle and someone provoked Emperor Zhaode, I am afraid that Emperor Zhaode would still believe him [-] to [-] percent.The father and son of the Lan family belonged to Emperor Zhaode, and if someone wanted to drive a wedge between Emperor Zhaode and the father and son of the Lan family, it was just asking for trouble.

If even the father and son of the Lan family can't be trusted, for Emperor Zhaode, there are probably not many trustworthy people around him.

On the day when Lan Chengyu's class teacher returned to the court, Lan Chuyan took Baoluo to wait at the gate of the city.

The Prince and Empress Xu were originally unwilling to let Baoluo leave the palace, but after all, Lan Chengyu grew up with Baoluo and had a good relationship. He is also reasonable.

As for Emperor Zhaode, he is still immersed in the joy of the great victory at the moment. When he thinks that the father and son of the Lan family will return with him this time, as well as the royal family of Xiliang and the prisoners of Beirong, Emperor Zhaode feels extraordinarily radiant. .At this time, as long as there are no excessive demands, they can basically be satisfied.

Sitting in a teahouse at the city gate, Baoluo and Lan Chuyan were quite excited.

Over the past few days, the war at the border has been stalemate, Baoluo and Lan Chuyan don't say anything, but they are silently worried about General Lan and Lan Chengyu in their hearts.Now, they are finally coming back, and they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

We haven't seen each other for a few years, I don't know if Lan Chengyu will become unrecognizable, Baoluo thought.

But at this time, there was a sound of horseshoes outside the city, followed by loud cheers from the people.

Lan Chuyan couldn't help but wanted to rush out, but was firmly held down by the maid beside her: "Miss, you forgot, what did the madam tell you when you went out? At this time, the most taboo Rushing up with a single brain, there are so many people around, what should I do if I get injured because of pushing and shoving?"

Seeing that Lan Chuyan was still unwilling, the maid added: "If you don't listen to Madam, it will be difficult if you want to come out in the future."

"Okay then. I'll just look around in the store and not go out."

Hearing this, Baoluo also silently dismissed the idea of ​​going out.

The two leaned their heads out of the window and tried their best to keep their eyes wide open, for fear of missing any important scene.

Then, they saw a general riding a tall horse leading the troops into the city gate with his head held high and passing by the teahouse.The leading general was General Lan, and behind him were several generals, among them was his son, Lan Chengyu.

In the past few years of tempering at the border, Lan Chengyu's immature and jerky aura that belonged to young people has obviously faded a lot.He is like a sharp sword out of its sheath, so sharp and dazzling.Even if he followed behind his father, his brilliance would not be concealed.

Looking at the familiar but unfamiliar young man in front of him, Baoluo felt quite emotional.

Suddenly, as if he had noticed something, Lan Chengyu glanced straight at Baoluo, and they met Baoluo's eyes.
