Chapter 434: The best in his life is to help people cut off their children and grandchildren
After Fan Xian and others returned to the campsite, they found that the situation here was not very good. Although the white ape was in charge, more than a dozen of the mission guards were killed. , three envoys died, the cooks and horsemen were all injured, but the manager was fine. The white ape split the carriage that was a gift to the Northern Qi, and destroyed a lot of the southern specialties that are very precious to the north. In the words of Chu Pingsheng Say, Ku He and Uesugi Tiger came to rob the mission and also gave gifts to the Northern Qi Emperor? Let's go and dream about his spring and autumn dreams.
Gundam said that he liked hearing this, but he soon became embarrassed because he thought of the two subordinates, one deaf and one idiot, both of whom were done by this kid's master.
Wang Qinian advised him to be more open-minded. Bai Feng had killed more than 3,000 border troops, but at least his companions were still alive.
Gundam thought for a while and felt that what Wang Qinian said made sense.
Hu Jinzhu and others discussed countermeasures and sent a courier to the border army camp to report that the mission's convoy was attacked at the border. Fan Xian did not participate. He searched around the campground but could not find Wuzhu.
This made him wonder, could it be that Wu Zhu really knew Bai Feng and was in cahoots with him? Otherwise, why would he have fought and escaped last time in Kyoto City? This time, he betrayed him at a critical moment and lost Ku He's arm.
He couldn't find anyone and couldn't understand the logic. He didn't return to the campsite until it was almost dark and met the commander-in-chief of the border army, Metropolitan Governor Wang Zhikun.
Ye Wan died and Qin Heng died. The border army dispatched 6,000 cavalry, but only more than 2,000 came back. There were many disabled people among them. It was suspected that the eight families under the second prince would be wiped out. The emperor of Northern Qi Keqing Lang Tao died, Ku He had his arm cut off by Bai Feng's sword, and Tiger Uesugi rescued Sean. These are important events for the Qing Kingdom and must be treated with caution.
Because they had to wait for news from Kyoto City, the envoy team camped and waited - Wang Zhikun did not dare to invite them to the military camp. God knows whether Bai Feng would be angered again and use the big bell to go to the military camp. One fight and the entire frontier army will be destroyed.
…
Two days later.
Kyoto City, the Imperial Study Room of Xingqing Palace.
The golden furnace smoke is graceful and the sandalwood is bursting. It is most pleasant and soothing, but it does not relieve the tension in the room.
Qin Ye was wearing a loose court dress and sitting on the small stool given by the emperor. His whole body was trembling, and it took him a long time to regain his breath.
"Heng'er's death in battle can be regarded as a sacrifice for the country. He died a worthy death."
The news sent to him by the court said that Qin Heng died in the battle to stop the cavalry led by the famous Northern Qi general Uesugi Tiger. However, his cronies in the army secretly reported that Qin Heng was angered by Bai Feng and hurled a spear from afar to his death.
Now that Li Yunqian has invited him and Ye Chong into the palace and repeated the news, what does it mean? This means that Li Yunqian does not want to break up with Bai Feng, which is tantamount to telling him in disguise that this revenge... the emperor will not avenge the Qin family.
Li Yunqian has not trimmed his beard for several days, and it looks messy. He casts a sinister gaze across Qin Ye's face, and then looks at Qin Ye who is half-kneeling on the ground. His blood is hot, his face is red, and his eyes are filled with tears. Ye Chong, commander of the Kyoto garrison division.
"Your Majesty, Wan'er... Wan'er is my only son. He is the most... most valued descendant of my uncle in the entire Ye family."
Ye Chong felt that he could not suppress his resentment no matter how hard he suppressed it, and the qi expanding from his fist actually cracked the thick stone slabs on the ground.
This scene made the old eunuch's eyelids twitch wildly. He felt that Ye Zhong's behavior had crossed the line. However, it was understandable from an emotional point of view. Chu Pingsheng wanted to take his daughter as a concubine, so Bai Feng turned around and took his daughter. The only son was killed. This kind of hatred and insult is unbearable for anyone.
Li Yunqian suddenly turned around, grabbed the slips and memorials on the couch, and threw them all at Ye Chong.
“I asked him to act rashly? Who does he think he is when he is chasing the Grand Master?”
Li Yunqian pointed at Ye Zhong’s face and said angrily: “I haven’t held him accountable yet. You have the nerve to come to me and demand an explanation for the loss of four thousand of my elite cavalry?”
After saying this, he was still angry and kicked Ye Zhong on the butt, making Lin Ruofu who was sitting on the other side tremble.
I learned before that his son Lin Gong died at the hands of Bai Feng. He raised an issue in the court and wanted the emperor to punish Chu Pingsheng. Now it’s fine. Not only did his son die, but Qin Ye also lost his son. Ye Shigeya's son died, and he suddenly had two more companions, and he was considered to be better than the superior and more than the inferior.
Qin Ye's two sons are both dead. Ye Zhong has a son and a daughter. The son is dead, and the daughter bet herself to Chu Pingsheng. Where is he? At least I still have a stupid son by my side.
"Your Majesty...it's all my fault...it's my fault...I failed to discipline you properly."
Ye Chong quickly got up and knelt down in front of the emperor again, holding back his grief and resentment. Admit your mistake.
"About Bai Feng...have I informed the Ye family? Where is Ye Liuyun? Where is he? If he had been in Kyoto a few days ago, would your daughter have caught him? Will your son go after the Grand Master? ? Expulsion of the Northern Qi cross-border cavalry? Do you think I will believe it? He is seeking revenge on Chu Pingsheng!"
"Your Majesty..."
"Get out of here! , immediately, immediately, get out of Kyoto!"
Li Yunqian pointed at the corridor outside the door and shouted.
"I... obey your orders."
After Ye Chong knelt down and bowed, he stood up and walked outside.
"Get out of here, don't bother me."
Li Yunqian waved to Qin Ye and Lin Ruofu again, and the two people quickly bowed and left. Hou Zhigang glanced at the emperor and quickly followed Go up and send them out of the imperial study.
Shortly after the three people left, the sound of rattling wheels came from behind the screen. Fei Jie, who was wearing a black robe and had finally tidied himself up, pushed Chen Pingping out.
“Your Majesty really wants to drive Ye Zhong out of Kyoto?”
"Do you think I'm joking?"
"I'm afraid..."
"Afraid of arousing Ye Liuyun's rebellious heart?" Li Yunqian extinguished his anger, walked to the couch and sat down. : "As long as the Ye family members are still in the city, Ye Liuyun will not dare to fall out with me." "Your Majesty, I heard that Bai Feng cut off one of Ku He's arms with the help of Wu Zhu."
“Chen Pingping, you are not in the Supervisory Yuan, so you are well-informed.”
"Your Majesty..."
Chen Pingping raised her head and looked at the person pushing the chair behind her: "Fei Jie told me."
Li Yunqian did not continue to be weird, and leaned towards the couch. Wei, muttering to himself: "You said that the Northern Barbarians do not have the Zhuhua tribe, let alone Baifeng and Chu Pingsheng. But the master does have the cultivation of a great master. He destroyed thousands of my cavalry in one blow. I still have the strength to defeat Ku He, you said... Where did they come from? "
"This... the common people don't know. "
Chen Pingping's eyes were like poisonous snakes. Confused, he and the leader of the black cavalry traveled thousands of miles to the Northern Barbarians unintentionally. They conducted a detailed investigation and almost visited several major tribes. They all said that there was no such tribe as "Zhuhua", and the names Bai Feng and Chu Pingsheng were changed. It's unheard of.
They were not from the grassland, nor were they from the Northern Barbarian tribe, so what was the purpose of the master and the disciples pretending to be Xihu envoys? Forget it if he is just an ordinary liar. The problem is that the master, grand master, disciples and servants are all ninth-grade peak powerhouses.
Li Yunqian patted his knees twice and turned his head to look at the two of them: "What do you think...what is the relationship between Baifeng and Wuzhu?"
Fei Jie was stunned and interrupted: " Your Majesty, do you doubt... the Five Great People? No, absolutely not."
Chen Pingping said: "Fan Xian has a deep love for Lin Wan'er. If Bai Feng and Wu Zhu are old acquaintances, how can he just sit back and watch his disciples do it. The knife takes away love."
"That's right."
Li Yunqian stopped talking and just sat on the couch, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty?"
Fei Jiehou waited for a moment and asked tentatively: "The mission of the mission..."
"The mission..." Li Yunqian pondered for a moment. Said: "Yan Bingyun must be rescued. As long as Chu Pingsheng and Beiqi do not change their minds, let them continue. As for what happened in Cangzhou... wait until Fan Xian rescues Yan Bingyun."
The Emperor After saying that, he tilted his head and glanced to the southwest, where there was the second prince's palace, Prince Duan.
"Ye Wan and Lang Tao, it's not a loss if four thousand cavalry are exchanged for one arm of Ku He."
Fei Jie and Chen Pingping looked at each other and said nothing.
At this time, Hou Zhigang had just returned from seeing off Lin Ruofu, Ye Zhong, and Qin Ye. Before he could stand still, Li Yunqian pointed at him and said, "Go to Prince Duan's Mansion again and tell Li Chengze that from today on I'll stay at home and don't leave the house without my order."
"Yes."
Hou Zhigang turned around quickly, wiped the sweat from his forehead and left.
Fei Jie and Chen Pingping also quickly found reasons to leave the palace to avoid being implicated.
……
An hour later.
Duanwang Mansion.
There is no Xie Bi'an who admired the fast sword, no Fan Wujiu who would argue with him about who has written the best articles in the past and the present, no more Liu Jue who loves to drink but cannot drink well, and the whole yard is drunk. Gan Pengfei, as well as the four brothers of spring, summer, autumn and winter who fought hard every day and refused to obey anyone, you beat me and I fought with you. This palace is clean...no, much colder.
In the waterside pavilion on the edge of the small lake, Li Chengze sat barefoot with his back to the corridor. Different from the past, he sat very upright today, with his spine straight. The fruit plate on the couch was empty, and there was a gilt wine bottle with a long mouth next to it. .
A wisp of spring breeze passed by, bringing a sense of warmth and blowing away the lingering smell of wine.
Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, Li Chengze patted several faces, looked at the lake and scolded: "How many times have I told you, don't call me for lunch, don't you understand?"
"Your Highness..."
Hearing the female voice behind him, he realized that he had made a mistake. He turned around quickly and found that it was Hong Zhu, the female officer beside his mother.
He got off the couch, put his feet into his boots, stood up and said, "Did the mother-in-law ask you to come visit me?"
Hongzhu nodded, took out a book from his sleeve and handed it over: "Empress I was worried that Your Highness would be bored, so I asked you to take a book and copy it for Your Highness."
Li Chengze took it and looked at it. There were three words "Surangama Sutra" written on the cover.
"What scripture is this?"
It is true that he loves reading, but he has little interest in the rigid collection of classics and history.
"The empress only said that this can help your highness to cultivate his moral character."
Hongzhu dropped these words, bowed, and turned away.
Li Chengze watched her leave and opened the title page of the scripture, only to see dense small regular script inside, which was the handwriting of her mother, Concubine Shu.
