The Fairy Just Wants To Lie Down

  Chapter 265 Time to wake up from a dream.

  In the imperial palace, the old emperor hugged his grandson, with family letters in front of him.

   "Grandpa, this is the family letter Li Wuqu sent to his family. Why is it here?"

   "Where does he have a family, his parents died early and grew up eating imperial food. His ancestors served in the army for six generations, and once helped the great ancestor conquer the world."

   "Isn't it written here? Qingshui Village, my wife Weixi."

"I asked someone to look for it. There is no village named Qingshui in the world, and there is no Wei Xi girl who lives in Qingshui Village. This is just wishful thinking of an idiot, so I will cooperate with him in acting. This letter from the family It may be to let me see that the harm of the Wu Dynasty lies in those relatives of the emperor, in the aristocratic and powerful families."

   "Li Wuqu is a sword that is unparalleled in the world. Grandpa didn't have the blessing to find it at this age. When you ascend the throne, you must reuse Li Wuqu."

   "Mother and concubine said Li Wuqu is a bad person."

   "What did your father say?"

   "Father and king dare not talk about mother concubine, usually listen to mother concubine."

  “.”

  The palace suddenly became quiet, the old emperor exhaled slightly, and asked, "Are you sure it was your mother who said it?"

  The little grandson nodded in fear, and then he was sent out of the palace.

  The next day, the emperor bestowed upon the crown princess to die.

  The prince was dizzy because of his great grief, and the little emperor's grandson ran into the palace crying, and all he could see was the dying old emperor.

   "Establish filial piety as the emperor, and establish you as the prince. You must not listen to the words of the family. Scholars and gentry are all white-eyed wolves who are not familiar with it. Use Li Wuqu... Li Wuqu can help you eradicate them."

   "Grandpa, my mother and concubine are dead..."

   "The chief inspector draws up another imperial decree. If one day the princes and princes of the world are in chaos, they can enter King Jingqin and help the orthodox."

   "Your Majesty must not, what if he rebels?"

   "I trust him...I trust him."

  The old emperor uttered his final mournful cry, the light in his eyes quickly dissipated, and the last thing he turned to was not his grandson, but the table of family letters from different years.

  In the beginning, he reused this young man for three reasons. First, he has no background, second, he is capable, and third, he is really upright.

   Even though he beat his son so many times that he couldn't get out of bed, the old emperor still liked the 15-year-old No. 1 scholar. And sending him away from the capital later was also a helpless act to save his life. Li Changsheng was too sharp, and it was very likely that he would be killed.

  Especially this reckless boy killed all the prime minister's sons.

  But I didn't expect that the other party gave me another surprise. He was not only a literary champion, but also a martial arts champion.

  So the old emperor promoted him again, as long as he had credit, he would be promoted to the maximum. The reason why Li Changsheng was able to command the entire North County army in three years was due to his contribution.

   What really made the old emperor Tuo Gu was that he was not greedy, he was not greedy at all.

  【Letter to wife, ten years away from home, special letter to tell you about safety...】

  【Disasters broke out everywhere in the Wu Dynasty. Some people said that the emperor was immoral, and disasters came from heaven. I say that the officials are immoral, annexing good fields and harming the common people. 】

  【In the twelfth lunar month, Beijun was hit by a disaster. I put warehouses to save people, and ended up in prison. Fortunately, foreign countries invaded from the west, and the imperial court asked me to pacify the west. 】

  【Xi'er, I have returned from a great victory, but more than half of my brothers have been killed or injured. The imperial court can't afford food, and the soldiers are weak, fearing that there will be chaos in the army. The imperial court ordered me to suppress the soldiers who asked for military pay, and I will take them to ask the aristocratic family to pay the military salary first, and put down the appearance of the army in chaos]

  【Military achievements are over, the world is in chaos, and civil upheavals are imminent. Wang's family rushed to Beijun. 】

  Li Changsheng put the envelope away. At this moment, the cell was opened. His subordinate held the armor and said, "General, Hu Qi invaded, and the court ordered you to go out again."

   "What about the military pay and food?"

   "The imperial court said that it will be delivered in a few days. It is said that a large number of merchants in Taojiang Commercial Town have been arrested, and they should be assembled soon."

  At this time, the Wu Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, the treasury was empty, and disasters continued year after year. If it weren't for the general's conquests to maintain the overall situation, the world would have been in chaos long ago. A few years ago, the rebellion of the king of Wei was also suppressed by the general. The other princes are afraid to move now because of Li Wuqu.

  He really dared to kill princes, and the emperor would really protect him.

   But it still can't change the momentum of Wu Dynasty's decline, maybe it's God's will, even if there is an invincible general, it can't change the trend of chaos in the world. Everyone is gearing up, especially those princes.

  The emperor is old and bedridden day and night, and the ability to protect the general is already the limit.

  The subordinate showed hesitation, and said: "General, the food and grass have not arrived and there is no military salary, or we should make another plan. As long as you give an order, this North County will serve you."

  Before he finished speaking, Li Changsheng just cast a glance, which made him tense up and dare not speak again.

   "Who made you say that?"

The subordinate hurriedly knelt down on one knee, sweating profusely, and said: "This subordinate has a heart full of lard for a while, and no one asked me to tell it. It's a really hard life, brothers, it's almost a problem to eat, How to fight?"

   "Let those princes come out, I will come to ask for it."

  【Report to the guard, I killed another prince today, and found ten thousand taels of silver from my home, including military pay, food and grass. 】

  【Hit Hu Qi and win. 】

  At the end of the year, Li Changsheng, who had just returned from defeating Hu Qi, received the news that the emperor had passed away and a new emperor had ascended the throne.

  The world was suddenly turbulent, and countless people turned their attention to Beijun, and to the invincible 100,000 elite soldiers.

  If he had no foreign enemies in the Wu Dynasty, if he turned against the world and changed hands, if he was king Qin, the throne changed hands.

  Li Changsheng led the 100,000 Beijun army to move, and suddenly the world was surging, and within a day, more than a dozen imperial edicts were issued from the capital and sent to princes in various places. When the whole world was wary of this invincible general, no soldiers left Beijun for ten consecutive days.

   A few days later, more than a hundred cavalry came out of Beijun, and they brought a batch of special gifts, the king of Beiyi.

  Li Changsheng planned for 5 years, led the army into the mountains to destroy the Northern Yi, and opened up thousands of miles of land and mountains. To wipe out the biggest threat in the north in one fell swoop, the Wu Dynasty extended its tentacles of power into the mountains for the first time in 200 years.

   When the news came out, the world was shocked.

   The precarious Wu Dynasty's national fortune seems to have been given a shot in the arm.

  Li Changsheng was stationed at the border as always, without any action, for a year like this. He received an imperial decree from the court to transfer 50,000 elite soldiers from the Beijun Army to defend the capital.

  He agreed, and 50,000 people continued to attack the barbarians and Hu Qi.

  The soldiers brought out by Li Wuqu were dispersed and merged into the Forbidden Army guarding the capital, and some senior generals were given marriages. At the same time, with their entry, many legends about Li Wuqu began to appear in the capital.

   "We don't know what kind of person Li Wuqu is, but one thing is certain. As long as the general charges forward, military merit is as easy as catching grasshoppers."

   "The general will always eat and live with us. He is like an old man full of knowledge. There is nothing he doesn't know."

   "Li Wuqu has superb medical skills and can cure plague."

   "The general is Li Wuqu who went down to earth. He never lost his way when he led troops in battle. Walking in the mountains knows the trend of mountains and rivers better than those barbarians."

   "Give the general 500 people, and he can fight with the power of 100,000 people."

   And other such rumors, from the princes and nobles down to the people at the bottom, are very interested in this invincible Li Wuqu.

   But this kind of discussion was soon banned, especially among the Forbidden Army, whoever discussed Li Changsheng would be given 30 boards.

   Another two years later, the capital transferred troops to garrison an important town in the south, and 50,000 soldiers went to another 30,000.

   With 20,000 people stationed in the bitter cold of Beijun, the imperial court would not have dared to be so reckless in the past. But the situation is different now, the northern barbarians have been wiped out by Li Changsheng, and there is no need to worry about the barbarian invasion in the next hundred years.

  As for the Hu Qi in the grassland, they only need to defend the city, and 20,000 people are more than enough.

   Li Changsheng also allowed it, because there is really no need for too many troops here. Sending the army to other places can recruit fewer soldiers and reduce military pay. If the military pay is less, the common people can pay less tax.

  At the end of the same year, thousands of people rode northward.

  Beijun has insufficient troops and lack of military supplies, some of which have reached the point where there are no knives available. Ask the court for money, but the court has no money. If you want soldiers from the imperial court, you must guard Guanzhong.

  Beijun has been isolated, or some people's fear of Li Changsheng has exceeded their own safety. Li Changsheng had offended too many people before, leaving little room for himself.

   Without the support of the old emperor and the trust of the new emperor, no one can tolerate this great god.

  They hope that Li Wuqu can lose once.

  Northern Commandery fought against Hu, and the weather and people were not in harmony. Li Changsheng led 500 elite cavalry and detoured 500 li. When the Hu people attacked the city, they raided its base camp and beheaded the bandit leader, and the Hu people broke up and fled.

  Beijun city gate opened wide and soldiers filed out. Under the attack from front and back, eight thousand enemies were wiped out, almost a regiment.

  Later, Li Changsheng ordered another 2,000 cavalrymen, and drove straight into the grassland, destroying 30,000 tribes in a row, and the rest of the tribes had to retreat a hundred miles away from Beijun.

  Another serious problem was lifted.

   Li Wuqu won again, the streets and alleys of the capital were filled with cheers, but the palace was completely silent.

  Five years later, Li Changsheng conquered the mountains twice and destroyed the Northern Man.

  Eight years later, Li Changsheng conquered Beiyuan and destroyed the Hu tribe.

   Ten years later, fifteen years, eighteen years, nineteen years... twenty years...

  Li Changsheng is already a veteran with gray temples at the age of 45. Although 45 years old is not considered old, many years of fighting have left him with too many diseases, and he looks prematurely aging.

   Fortunately, he finally cleared everything up and felt it was time to go home. And it happened that the emperor died again in the same year, and the "little grandson" of the old emperor who had the talent of a great ancestor ascended the throne.

   "It is said that Li Changsheng will return to Beijing."

   After 20 years, Li Changsheng returned to Beijing again. He did not bring a single soldier, and rode into the city alone. I don't know if it was suppressed by the imperial court, but after the city gate let Li Changsheng in, there was no longer any special person to greet or **** him.

  But Li Changsheng's reputation has already spread all over the world. Countless people crowded on both sides of the road, looking at the white-haired veteran with admiration.

   On the contrary, the imperial court was slapped severely, and Li Changsheng's reputation was even more fearful.

   Stepping into the court hall, I saw a young emperor in his 20s.

   "Li Changsheng, pay homage to the emperor."

   "Bold!"

  The **** scolded angrily, "Why didn't you become a minister? General Li, even if you have great military exploits, you have to do your best as a minister."

   "How dare the eunuchs bark at me?" Li Changsheng just raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was so frightened that the other party couldn't hold back a word.

   "The one who believes in me is the king."

  The young emperor on the stage looked a bit ugly, and suppressed his anger and said: "General Li, the veteran of the three dynasties, is my elder, so don't care about these etiquettes. I wonder how old General Li is?"

   "Forty-five, the year of no confusion."

   "It looks like you are 60 years old. It's really hard work, General Li. Now that the world is at peace, do you want to take a break? You can't work hard all your life, it's a bit too hard."

  The young emperor had just ascended the throne not long ago, obviously the city was not deep, and he spoke so directly. It made the silent ministers look slightly pale, and more people smiled for no reason.

   Li Changsheng's choice to enter Beijing was the biggest mistake. Even if you have great abilities, in the end it's just a glass of poisoned wine.

  "I'm really tired, I should disarm and return to the field."

  After the early court ended, Li Changsheng left the capital on a horse after submitting his letter of resignation. Even though his former subordinates tried their best to dissuade him, he did not stay.

  In fact, he knew that if he stayed in the capital honestly and could enjoy his old age in peace, the emperor and his officials would not allow him to leave alive.

   So what if he has a great reputation and merit?

   But he just wants to go home now.

   One man and one horse walked on the official road, followed by thousands of armored guards, and among them, the **** in red was very conspicuous, holding a jug of wine.

  Li Changsheng didn't pay attention to it as if he didn't notice it. He just followed the direction in his memory and looked for the village named Qingshui.

   It is a dream to wake up, if it is not a dream, there is no need to wake up.
