Chapter 601: Boom
While the princes and nobles of Jinye were busy picking up greenery and going out for a walk, news suddenly came from Wuyang that the brave and capable general Hulu Qiguang had died of illness a few days ago.
As soon as the news came out, some people were happy and some were worried.
The nobles knew very well that this Hu Luqiguang was taciturn and withdrawn. Although he was not lovable, it was undeniable that he was a good leader in leading troops in war.
At present, the Qi army is losing frequently on the frontline battlefield, which has already made people panic. Now they have lost another strong general. How can it not add fuel to this bad situation?
But many people disagree.
When the emperor received a resignation letter from Hulu Qiguang's son, he was furious, thinking that Hulu Qiguang was dissatisfied and protesting against his previous angrily reprimanding him.
The wall fell and everyone pushed it.
Some former political opponents made great slanders at this time, saying that when Hu Lu Qiguang was alive, he was self-respecting and had always been arrogant and arrogant in his behavior, and even had hidden ambitions to usurp the throne.
Even after the death of Hu Lü Qiguang, evidence was given that the morale of his soldiers was repeatedly low, so they suffered successive defeats. Someone must have deliberately instigated it.
Hearing this, the emperor became even more angry. He immediately issued an edict to severely punish Hulu Qiguang and his family, and ordered his home to be searched.
After that, he not only appointed Gao Anatuo to be fully responsible for the Xianbei army, but also demoted and punished Hulu Qiguang's old subordinates where they should be demoted and punished. He also vigorously promoted and placed his own confidants in the army.
At the same time that the emperor issued an order to inspect the Hulv family, the neighboring king Zhou Jun announced to the world and named Hulv Qiguang the Duke of Shangzhu Kingdom and Jingguo Kingdom.
As soon as this move came out, the world was in an uproar.
As expected, the Qi army's frontline soldiers couldn't help but feel chilled by the comparison.
In addition, the Lord of Zhou also issued edicts to various parts of the country. Regardless of whether they were celebrities, old scholars, or knights-errant, all those who sincerely submitted to the Zhou Dynasty would be promoted to official positions.
While everyone was watching, the prefect of Wei City opened the city gate and surrendered with the people of the city.
Yu Wenjue did what he said. Not only did he reuse the governor of Zhuocheng, but after the Zhou army entered the country, he did not take any money from the people or hurt innocent lives. Such strict military discipline is quite popular among the people.
This set a precedent and attracted many surrenders.
Perhaps in order to restore people's hearts and boost morale, the emperor ignored the opposition of his confidants and generously rewarded Hejian Wang Gaozongyou for defeating Zhou general Xiao Jingnan.
Suddenly being relied upon by the emperor, Gao Zongyou was in the limelight.
However, if you gain, you will lose.
This has always been the case.
Remarks slandering the King of Hejian really appeared again in the DPRK.
Liang Huan sat in the small courtyard and looked around. The wintersweet flowers that had been blooming all winter were still defeated, and the brown branches were dotted with dense reddish-brown fruits.
It's already midsummer, Liang Huan has changed into a thin dark gauze skirt, and her short hair can be styled into a simple bun.
Ever since the emperor fell from his horse and was injured, he has been lingering on his sick bed. After Nanyang King Gao Jun launched a palace coup, the emperor was furious and his health was deteriorating. Fortunately, Princess Yixing and the consort recommended Sun Liangping to the emperor.
Speaking of this Sun Liangping, one can’t help but attract people’s attention. Not only did he cure Princess Yixing’s hemoptysis, but also under his careful care, the queen who had been infertile for many years actually became pregnant with a dragon heir as she wished. It can be seen that There is some real ability.
The emperor's injuries waxed and waned, and his temperament became violent and unpredictable.
Fortunately, Sun Liangping presented a magical medicine to the emperor at the right time, which really relieved the emperor's illness.
He is beautiful and often wears a gray plain gauze robe. He is a handsome and elegant alchemist.
In addition to giving medicine to the emperor to treat his injuries, he also taught him how to cultivate his health and Qi, refine elixirs and cultivate immortality.
The amazing thing is that the emperor's spirit is really good.
As a result, the emperor, who was still dubious before, gradually became inseparable from him.
He was even named Huangmen Shilang.
Huangmen Shilang is the emperor's closest servant and can convey imperial edicts.
It is said that if a person achieves enlightenment and ascends to heaven, not to mention his relatives and family members, even Princess Yixing and Princess Yuzhang who have recommended him will receive constant rewards.
Liang Huan smiled and made a cup of tea.
I felt that Sun Liangping was not simple that day. Gu Ya walked in from outside the courtyard carrying a small basket of wintersweet fruits.
Liang Huan brought the brewed tea to her and said, "Wash your hands and take a rest."
Gu Ya went to wash her hands as instructed.
The wintersweet fruit is poisonous and cannot be eaten.
She knows.
To say that she didn’t understand it before, but after following the Queen Mother for so long, even if she didn’t say something clearly, she knew it in her heart.
Gu Ya wiped her hands, suddenly raised her head and looked around before whispering: "I can't blame everyone in the palace for saying good things about Shilang Sun. I didn't pay attention just now and walked a little further. I didn't want to accidentally see the man in the imperial garden." The group of people, the servants were afraid of being seen, so they hid. After a closer look, they turned out to be the queen and Princess Yixing. The man accompanying the queen was probably the Sun Shilang. Not to mention the others. Judging from the appearance, she is also elegant. The most rare thing is that she is not like the royal family members who wear makeup and powder, but-"
She paused and shook her head: "But who would have thought that the empress could be so despicable..."
Liang Huan glanced at Gu Ya but said nothing.
No wonder Gu Ya said that. How can Lu Ying be an ordinary person who can make Lu Ying ignore her identity? In addition to good means, without a good skin, how can you stand out among the crowd and be favored?
After Gao Hao was injured, he became less interested in the harem. Now that Sun Liangping has arrived, he is quite favored by the emperor. How can the concubines not try their best to win over him?
There are always many affairs in the royal family. Although they don't expose it publicly, it doesn't mean they are not clear about it in their hearts.
But the emperor doesn’t care, so who else can say anything.
Unexpectedly, even the Yuan family——
After thinking about it, it seems that it is not difficult to understand.
Besides, she doesn't care what happens to the harem.
Liang Huan lowered his eyes and poured himself a cup of tea.
As soon as she moved here, Gao Hao sent people to see her for various reasons from time to time.
At that time, she just pretended not to know.
After such a long period of observation, Xu found that she always kept to herself and never interacted with others. In addition, after the decline of the Hulv family, no one in the court mentioned or cared about her. Man, Gao Hao finally believed that she really couldn't make any more waves, and then he completely forgot about her.
Before, Lu Wanying occasionally came to provoke him. Since Gao Hao was injured, she was only busy fighting with Yuan Yun'e and couldn't get away.
Liang Huan raised his eyes: "I'll go and see Wei Zhen'er later."
Gu Ya put down the tea cup, wiped her mouth, and said: "Wei Shi is really pitiful. I went there a few days ago." When the time came, I had to plead with you, saying that I wanted to see the third prince secretly, but I tried to persuade him for a long time before stopping him."
As she spoke, she sighed: "But where is she? Knowing how much risk you are taking by keeping her alive, I think it’s better not to go, otherwise I will pester you to see the third prince again.”
Liang Huan took a sip. Lip: "That's fine."
Speaking of which, her Xi'er is already one year and three months old, and unfortunately her parents are not here.
She once said that neither she nor Lu Xiu had a good mother, and she would definitely be a good mother, but in fact she had never been a good mother.
Liang Huan’s eyes were sour, and her heart was even more sour.
How many times did she even want to leave everything behind and go find Xi'er, but in the end she still closed the secret passage after opening it.
Liang Huan took a slow breath and looked at Gu Ya again: "Wait a little longer."
Gu Ya glanced at her, lowered her eyes and sighed: "Queen Mother, this servant is so excited to look at you. It feels hard.”
Liang Huan took a sip of tea in silence.
After Gao Zongyou defeated Xiao Jingnan, Yu Wenjue ordered his troops to be divided into two groups to seize Xizhou. One group was led by him personally and went around to the rear to attack, while the other group was led by Gong Xijin and Gong Liangrui from Yancheng. Head north.
According to the news sent the day before yesterday, Yu Wenjue's progress has been smooth, and he has conquered more than a dozen border towns.
She looked at the map and found that the route Yu Wenjue was taking passed through Youyan Mountain.
Youyan Mountain in this season...
Liang Huan lowered his head. For some reason, he felt uneasy in his heart these past two days.
