MTL - Emperor’s Conquest-Chapter 16 advance and retreat

Lu's diligently presented **** tea, bowed his hand to the side, watched me frown and took a sip, and busily laughed, "The princess is too heavy, and slavery makes people fry again."

I waved my hand and asked indifferently, "The two **** are ready?"

"The slave has sent the silver couple, and has also chosen Yuzhu for others, but the Xing'er doesn't know what to do ..." Lu Shijiu pouted, and waited to say, I slightly interrupted her, "She always served Wang Ye Don't treat her kindly. "

"The princess has a kind heart and is a blessing to us."

I laughed at myself, only to say that Ren Hou was extremely ironic. The two women were not wrong, but they were ruined in this life. Like He Lan's broken wrist, it seemed to Xiao Xiao that he deserved the crime. For his people, it was not a matter of tragic heroism.

I asked Lu's privately, and I realized that it was no accident that the servants had no children. Lu said that every time there was a sleeping bed, Wang Ye would have to give him medicine. He was about to be a humble servant and not worthy of having a child.

I don't believe this. If it is a child of the Shijiawang clan, it is not surprising that Xiao Qiao should not be such a person.

This Lu's mind is flexible, he speaks with a clear head, and is quite discerning. Seeing me asking about Wang ’s daily life, she peeked at me and smiled, and whispered recently, “While Wang was a solitary lonely person, and now the princess is in a good shape, leaving people aside, not a Lie. "

I turned my head and coughed to hide the heat on my face. But she said more and more ridiculously, "The prince sees your mind, and blind people can see it. People come to visit every night, and people don't stay overnight in the middle of the night. Although the princess is a virtuous lady, she thing……"

I stood up arrogantly, my ears were hot, and I said coldly, "Mrs. Lu, you have been a deacon in Fuzhong for years. You need to know that every word and deed is the example of everyone below, and you must not lose your weight."

Lu's face was pale and pale, and he dared not say much. I frowned and looked at her, only to find that this human was charming and improper, and staying with me would not last forever. I thought about it now and wanted to take her away together, but remembered that she was quite old and had worked hard in the house for some days. After all, I couldn't bear it. I groaned for a moment and remained calm, only to let her back down.

The heat behind the cheeks and ears has not subsided for a long time. Although Lu's words are vulgar, they are not completely unreasonable.

In the past few days, Xiao Yan has become more and more busy, often not seeing people all day. Once he returns to the house, there are generals who keep going in and out of discussions. Even so, he still comes to see me every night. He always has to accompany me to talk, sometimes You have to watch me sleep peacefully before you leave.

Since that night, he has treated me lightly and abruptly, and occasionally he has never behaved in a manner.

Even Yuxiu had blushed and asked me why Wang Ye never stayed.

None of them understood, but I understood that Xiao Yan was just waiting. He is too arrogant to tolerate a little bit of reluctance and condescension-how similar we are. He has to wait for my willingness to wipe the shadow of others away, as he said, "There is no one else between us."

I stood under the corridor, my heart was full of puppets, and my taste was inexplicable.

Xiao Yan won't understand. That ’s not someone else, that ’s a son-in-law ... There are too many love entanglements between Zi-chan and me. Even aside from the relationship between men and women, we are still brothers and sisters. Those good years. Even with the phrase "bystanders", everything can be wiped clean, but those memories engraved in life, I am afraid that this life will not be erased.

In the afternoon, he was about to take a nap, and a maid came hurriedly, "Prince Kai, the prince just arrived, please invite the princess to the study room immediately."

I froze. Since I've been here, I have never set foot in his study.

I didn't get ready to dress up at the moment, I just gathered my hair and hurried away, feeling restless along the way, faintly feeling something happened.

At the door of the study, I was impatient and, without waiting for the guard to pass through, I pushed open the door of the cover.

As soon as I stepped in, I froze, and saw that there was someone else in the room—Xiao Ye stood by his hands, staring intently at a map. There was a general behind him, one behind him, and one after seeing me in. .

Seeing that they had disturbed their discussions, I apologized and smiled, and turned to withdraw.

Listening to Xiao Yan's voice coming from behind, a slight smile appeared in the majesty, "Where to go?"

I had to turn around, Tae Rong entered and smiled slightly at the two generals. The thick and burly general on the left only glanced at me, then hurriedly bowed his head, looking embarrassed; on the right was a young and upright general who saw me coming in and did not know how to evade his head. It's a crazy look.

I narrowed my eyebrows, slightly raised the corners of my lips, and saluted Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Zheng gathered his smile and Shen said, "Since the princess is here, let's step down first, and the matter will be discussed tomorrow."

"Subordinates obey." The two responded in unison, and the rough and powerful general bowed slightly and turned away, but the general Ruya looked for a moment before turning around and retreating.

I couldn't help but laughed out, "It's just a few irreverent generals."

Xiao Yan shook his head with a smile, "I am reckless and rude to others. How can there be such an unreasonable woman."

I raised an eyebrow at him, "I'm here to see my husband, who do I need to be polite with?"

This remark made Xiao Yan smile all over his eyes, took my hand, and led me to the huge map.

"This is the map of Huangyu Jiangshan?" I opened my eyes and was deeply attracted by the vast territory on the map.

Xiao Yi smiled slightly, reached out his finger on the picture, and proudly said, "This is my half-life, a million soldiers, guarding the mountains and rivers opened up."

I was stunned by his look. At the moment, Xiao Xun was faintly staring at the dragon. Looking along what he pointed to, the splendid rivers and mountains that stretched over the map also made me excited and speechless for a long time.

These days, although I have never heard the wind, I am consciously aware of the unusual tension. The generals who hurried in and out, deliberations all night long, huge maps in front of me ... At this moment, I finally knew that something must have happened.

Since Ningshuo has not come for more than a month, those peaceful and quiet days have passed by accident.

I sighed and looked up at Xiao Yan, waiting for him to speak.

Xiao Yan stared at me, "Do you remember Wen Zongshen?"

I was shocked that I never thought he would mention the name—when facing the right, the minister who stood shoulder to shoulder with his father, and the only one who dared to contend with the Wang family, was also his father's old counterpart for years. I couldn't help but smile and said, "Why did you suddenly raise the right picture?"

Xiao Yan looked indifferent. After turning around and returning to the case, he bowed his head and said, "He is no longer right."

I couldn't return to God for a while, I asked, "Wen Xiang has another master?"

"Nine days ago, Wen Zongshen was dismissed from his crimes; seven days ago, Wen's door was full."

I stepped back a few steps, my back came directly to the screen, and I glanced over the once familiar face. In the past, the famous celebrity and the famous celebrity, and one of the first assistants of the dignitaries, are now a dead body lying in a coffin.

My bones chilled up from the soles of my feet. I hesitated for a while, and murmured, "What happened in Beijing? Aunt, father, mother ... what happened to them ..." Thinking of Beijing's sudden change, I was suddenly confused All kinds of grievances have been thrown out of the clouds, lest the family members make a mistake.

Xiao Min reached out to me and said softly, "Come here."

I left him holding his hand in a daze, and he took it in his arms and met his gaze. He seemed to have a strange power in his eyes, which made me feel secure, and his mind gradually calmed down.

"Sooner or later, you need to let you know that nothing is too much, and you will have more to bear in the future." He smiled calmly, and gathered the scattered hair for me. "Even if the sky turns, I am still here, Nothing to be afraid of. "

The May frontier was so cold.

As I listened to Xiao Yue's brief introduction to the beginning and end of the Wen Xiang case, my fingertips became colder and colder came from all sides.

I thought Xu Yan was fuming, He Lan was defeated, and all crises had passed-but I never thought that this was just the beginning of another killing.

The prince's frivolousness has long disappointed the emperor. Although the aunt had been with the emperor since he was young, he had no deep favor. Over the years, the emperor has always favored the concubine, favoring his son-in-law, and the queen has become increasingly alienated, which has caused the emperor to lose his heart for a time. When Xie Guifei died and her son-in-law was expelled, her aunt was in charge of administration, and her father was outside, and my marriage to Xiao Yue made Wang's power even more powerful.

The dispute between the royal family and foreign relatives, with Xiao Qiao's return to the north, eventually turned into a fire and water. The emperor finally understood that the prince's wings had been made. This time to go back to the tiger, the 400,000 army and the six counties in the north were in Xiao Yan's hands. Once he was there, he could not shake the Wang family.

Once the crown prince takes office, the world falls into the hands of the Wang family.

The emperor was trapped in the middle of Beijing, the royal kings divided the place, and the powers of the northern kings had already died in the war. Only the kings of the south of the Yangtze River were in a state of peace, and fortunately saved a considerable amount of strength, but they were thousands of miles away from the capital.

Only right-winger Wen Zongshen supported the emperor's abolition, opposed his father in the DPRK, and secretly conspired with the kings of the south.

After returning to Ningshuo after his marriage, Xiao Zheng quickly controlled the six towns in the north with the support of his aunt and father. He repeatedly refused to return to Beijing on the grounds of military emergency on the grounds of defying the imperial order. The imperial court shunned the 400,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and there was no alternative.

The Crown Prince has a tendency of foreign relatives inside and heavy soldiers contending outside. If it is to be abandoned, the first thing to be removed is the military power in Xiao Yong's hands.

Seeing Xiao Ye's blatant disobedience to the monarch's life, the emperor finally went ruthless, and set up a poison plan with right-hander Wen Zongshen-sent a close relative, General Xu Xun, and the Ministry of Defense, the left servant Lang Dumeng, to enter Ningshuo in the name of Tian Xun Xun. The plan was to conceal Xiao Yan secretly and to seize the opportunity to seize military power.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xun was ambitious and wanted to take the opportunity to replace Xiao Xun. He actually colluded with He Lanzhen privately. He wanted to use a knife to kill someone. He then assassinated Xiao Xuan and relied on He Lan's head.

What kind of character Xiao Yan is, he already knows the wind, he will simply count the plan, and transform Xu Xu's borrowing and killing into a double-edged sculpture—Mingli shoots Xu Xu and defeats He Lan; in the dark, he shoots Wen Zongshen behind Xu Xu. Even the real ambassador behind Wen Xiang gave the emperor a blow.

The assassination was defeated that day, Xu Yi was killed, Du League escaped, and more than ten Helan assassins were arrested and jailed, leaving the iron evidence like a mountain.

Xiao Zong played together and thirteen pieces of iron evidence, impeached Wen Zongshen to collude with foreign invaders, conspiracy and rebellion. At the same time, his father was in Beijing, together with the ministers of various ministries, to play impeachment, forcing the emperor Wen Zongshen to party to jail, and to cut according to law.

The rightist party slammed back, impeaching Wang's foreign relatives, and implying that Xiao Xing had his own weight and resisted the crime.

Under the pressure of his father and aunt, the emperor had to abandon Wen Zongshen and put him in jail pending trial, which made him a scapegoat—Wen Zongshen was convicted of felony, dismissed from his rank, and moved his family to Lingnan. At this point, the emperor had lost everything and bowed his head to the outside. However, for some reason, his father ignored the aunt's persuasion and insisted on cutting Wen Zong carefully.

His father finally arbitrarily and tampered with his intentions without authorization. He directly ordered the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and executed Wen Zongshen three days ago.

"No!" I couldn't listen anymore, Huo Ran raised his sleeves and touched Xiao Qingshuangxue's clear eyes, but his whole body was stiff, and he finally fell back into the chair. Xiao Zheng never concealed me. The secret letters he and his father communicated were spread out in front of my eyes. The father's handwriting was beyond my familiarity ...

Even when I learned that my father and aunt had secretly planned my marriage with Xiao Yue, I was just sad and disappointed, but at this moment, I couldn't compare the left phase in Xiao Yue's mouth with my grace and grace, Zoran Ruo Yun Xian's father is linked.

No one knows whether it was because of his father's tragedy or because of something else. The emperor, who has always been weak and affectionate in my impressions, was finally forced into despair, angered by my family, and he swore to fight with Wang's family!

In the secret letter just sent by his father, the handwriting in small letters was very shocking, and it was written with shocking words-just a few days ago, the emperor decreed the Crown Prince, changed the son to Chu Jun, and the King Feng Ning was the Prince. Bao, King Suining went north immediately to the emperor's mausoleum to welcome Chu Jun into Beijing!

King Jiang Ning was the cousin of the emperor. Among the lords, except Xiao Xun, he had the heaviest military power of 150,000. At this time, the emperor ordered him to enter Beijing Fusuke, and declared the war to his relatives with clear flags.

The father and aunt immediately closed the palace, claiming that the emperor was seriously ill, and the prince was in danger and ordered to perform the duties of supervising the country. Uncle mobilized 50,000 embargoes at the same time, holding the capital on all sides. The aunt sent the inner court guards to the imperial tomb, and concubine her son.

The situation in the DPRK and China is in full swing, and it is about to happen.

Once King Suining sent his troops, only Xiao Xuan sent his troops south to solve the siege of the capital.

His father's secret letter was to ask Xiao Xun for help, and he was required to quickly prepare all the food and grass, and prepare troops to go south.

I slowly looked back at the huge map before I saw the red lines outlined on the map. At this moment, I suddenly understood that the place marked by the scarlet vermilion pen was exactly Xiao's marching strategy—crossing the Sanguan from Ningshuo, crossing the Changhe River, cutting straight into the Central Plains, cutting off the north-south impulse, and splitting the three roads in Linliangguan. Blocking the enemies who have committed crimes on three sides of the east and the south, and firmly holding the Jingshi in his hands, is like a projectile lonely city!

I looked straight at the map, from my fingertips to my hands, an inch of cold.

This is a foregone conclusion. This battle is inevitable.

The people involved in this dispute are all my relatives.

I do not know when Xiao Yan came behind me, holding my shoulders, I realized that my whole body was shaking slightly.

He was silent, and followed me to stare at the huge map. It took a long time to say, "Will you look at the map?"

I nodded and responded to his question stiffly, "Yes, my brother used to draw a map of the watercourse ..."

"Children of the Wang family really know a lot." He smiled and embraced me from behind, calmly, as if only gossiping, "These things should have been made known to you long ago, but your injuries are not healed, I'm afraid they will add to the trouble . "

He said so lightly and calmly that it almost made me mistaken. This was just a small trouble, not a major issue concerning the survival of my family and the world. I looked at him and couldn't believe he was smiling at this moment.

He knows that once he sends troops south, waiting for him will be a fierce battle of life and death; he will stand on the edge of destiny with my relatives and take a step back is the abyss.

"What the **** is it for?" I covered my face suddenly, and couldn't hold back my confusion and lost my voice.

I don't understand what all this is for. The capital city in the golden wind and drizzle, the beautiful scenery in the past, the dear family ... even the world just before blooming again collapsed with this dispute. I and everyone around me may change from then on. What is this ridiculous and terrible thing for?

"Why waste, why fight?" I murmured and asked him.

He laughed abruptly, but Langlang's laughter was cold and boney, and I could not hear a half-smile.

"For what ..." He repeated my question lightly, his lips angled slightly, "Nothing more than four words, emperor domineering."

I looked up at him arrogantly, shocked and speechless.

Since ancient times, how many heroes have competed in this four words of emperor domination.

"When I set foot on this road, the king defeated the king, and he never looked back." He looked at me with a smile, and said what I was thinking at the moment.

I stared at Xiao Yan, and for a while, my thoughts turned round and round. He understood what I was thinking at the moment, just as I understood the meaning of his four words. If everything comes back, am I willing to be a weak woman in Hou Men's deep boudoir, enjoying a glorious life like my mother, or still willing to stand by his side?

He waited quietly for a long while, and his eyes were gradually lost.

"Zuo Xiang has a home letter for you." He turned calmly, and took out a letter in hot paint from the case box.

This is the first home letter sent by my father since I arrived in Ningshuo. Prior to his close correspondence with Xiao Yan, he didn't even have a home letter to me, and it seemed that he had forgotten my married daughter. Maybe he knew that I would learn the truth from Xiao Yan and would not forgive him.

I took my father's letter and smiled slightly, but my heart was only dark.

Xiao Zheng looked at me deeply, and sighed with an unheard of sigh. He turned to the window and stood with his hands on his back, waiting for me to open the house alone.

I looked at his solitary back and squeezed his father's homework tightly in his hands, unconsciously wrinkled.

"Xiao Yan ..." I sighed softly. "The height of the temple and the distance of the rivers and lakes, I will always be with you."

The back of Xiao Yan was slightly shaken.

In the afternoon sunlight passed through the window lattice, mottled on his shoulders, throwing him upright into the ground for a long time, becoming more lonely.

He turned his back to me and couldn't see the look on his face. After a long time he heard him whisper, "Okay."

For a moment I was speechless, looking down at the father's handwriting on the letter in a daze.

"Ama." He called me suddenly.

"Um." I answered slowly, and for a while, he called my name.

Xiao Yan suddenly turned around and looked at me with a smile, "Your name is Grandma."

I have never seen him with such a bright and warm smile, as if there was a faint brilliance glowing from his eyes, which made me look stunned for a moment.

"How can you ..." I wanted to ask him how he knew my breast name. As soon as he said it, he remembered the letter in his hand, which clearly said "My daughter-in-law" wrote by my father. I didn't feel unhappy, raised my eyes to meet his gaze, and looked at each other and smiled.

There was a faint scent of ink in the study room, which was immersed in the sunlight of May, and seemed to return to the good old days of Liu Meihua.

Being looked at by him like this, I became more cramped and lowered my head to open the letter from my father.

His wrist was caught by him suddenly, and the letter was seized by him. He pressed his finger on my lips, stopped my questioning, and chuckled, "Come back and watch, follow me somewhere first!"

For a moment, he was holding hands, and he couldn't help but take it out of the study. With so many guards and servants in the cloister courtyard, he ignored my side and held my hand tightly all the way. He strode across in shock and was shocked by the servants in the house. At first I was still embarrassed, and I gradually felt inexplicable. I followed him lightly and curiously. I wondered where he would take me.

The palm of his hand was so large that he completely held my hand. I peeked at his profile, but he found out ...

"Here it is." He smiled and pointed in front of him, but he was actually where he was, "Go and pick a horse!"

"Choosing a horse?" I made an inexplicable mistake, raising my eyebrows at him with a smile, "Are you going to lead me to fight?"

He laughed, "Where there are so many words, I will tell you to pick, choose a good horse and ask the next person to find a suit for you."

I suddenly understood it and was pleasantly surprised, "Are we going to take a trip?"

He glanced at me, "Come louder, the whole city knows that the princess is going to travel."

Suddenly he heard a clear hissing horse, and the tallest black horse in the stallion greeted us. His coat was shiny as ink, his hooves were sturdy and slender, his mane was hunting, and his horse was soaring.

"That's Mo Yan." Xiao Yan smiled, lost my hand, and greeted his love horse straight.

Seeing that he was more enthusiastic about treating horses than others, I didn't feel annoyed, suddenly I was stubborn, put my fingers between my lips, and sounded a short whistle. This is a signal often used by horse trainers to warn horses. I have been learning about the best pastoral of Taifu Temple for a long time. The horses in the middle of it suddenly looked at each other, Qi Qi looked at me, and even Mo Yan looked at me slightly.

Xiao Zheng turned his head back in amazement and laughed, "You actually do this!"

I smiled slightly and raised my eyebrows at him. "Apart from dancing swords and swords, marching and fighting, you will, I may not."
