"My relatives or I am sad, others have also sang; what is the way to die, the body is the same as the mountain." Duan Ling smiled, "Your Majesty, take care of your body, the minister suddenly knows that the day of the late emperor's death is like the sky is falling. It came out slowly after all.”
Li Yanqiu's eyes were red, and he looked at Duan Ling quietly. After a long time, he said, "What kind of person do you think the late emperor was? In the end, in those days, it was Wu Duan who followed him. You must have heard of it a lot."
Duan Ling thought about it for a while and searched his stomach, but he couldn't find the most appropriate words to describe his father. He was wise, talented, gentle and patient... Like a mountain, he would always guide him in the direction, no matter how long or how far he went, he always looked up when he looked up. You can see that mountain, a very high mountain.
But to say that he left the deepest impression on himself... Duan Ling thought about it, and finally replied: "He is an interesting person."
Li Yanqiu laughed and replied, "Yes, he is an interesting person."
Duan Ling also laughed, Li Jianhong's everything is in these two words, there is no need to say more.
"It is much harder to be an interesting person in life than to build a career and make a name for yourself." Li Yanqiu said with emotion, "Although the world is big, I can't find a person like him again, but every time I talk to you, I will very happy."
Duan Ling replied, "This minister is also very happy to be able to talk to His Majesty."
Li Yanqiu smiled again, and Zheng Yan said outside: "Your Majesty, the medicine is here."
Without waiting for instructions, Duan Ling stepped forward to open the door, took the medicine in and presented it to Li Yanqiu. Li Yanqiu glanced at Duan Ling, kept silent, and drank the medicine.
Duan Ling pondered for a moment, knowing that Li Yanqiu was not poisoned, at least the pulse showed that he had always been normal, but weak and weak, both qi and blood were depleted, and his heart was not very good.
But his pulse is too numerous to count, so he must let Wu Du confirm whether he is poisoned or not. On weekdays, Wu Du would occasionally see Li Yanqiu. He practiced medicine and paid attention to "seeing," "smell," "asking," and "cutting." Most people with chronic poisoning can see their faces, but Wu Du would not fail to find them.
Duan Ling guessed about Xia Mu Kuangda's strategy - it was very likely that Mu Jinzhi arranged for Li Yanqiu to take the same medicine every day, until one day when he needed to start, and then mixed the poison | medicine, which would be paralyzing and hard to prevent. After all, this medicine has to be drunk every day, and it can't be seen for a while, and Li Yanqiu can't notice it after two or three times of poisoning.
Duan Ling moved his finger away, nodded, and didn't say much, and Li Yanqiu didn't ask.
"If you don't mention the late emperor in the exam questions, I will ask you to be the champion." Li Yanqiu said with a frown after drinking the medicine, "But since you are using the late emperor as a guise, you won't be the champion. You can only be the champion."
Duan Ling laughed, lifted up his robe and knelt down in front of Li Yanqiu, thanking him.
Li Yanqiu said: "Go back and report to Wu Du to know, but you can return to your hometown to honor your ancestors."
"I have one more thing to do, I beg Your Majesty's mercy." Duan Ling couldn't get up on his knees.
"Speak." Li Yanqiu said.
"Yecheng is in an emergency, and now there are no soldiers to send in the DPRK..."
Before Li Yanqiu finished listening, he laughed and said to Duan Ling, "Lang Tanhua, I haven't made a list yet."
The tone of these words was almost exactly the same as Li Jianhong's. Duan Ling knew that Li Yanqiu must be in a good mood at the moment by teasing him so, and said seriously: "I would like to go to Yecheng to share the worries for Your Majesty."
Li Yanqiu was stunned and frowned.
Duan Ling got up, sat by the desk, picked up a pen and dipped in ink, and drew a few strokes of the topographical map near Ye City, as well as the dotted line in the distance, set it as the Great Wall, and said to Li Yanqiu: "The Yuan people failed to attack Ye City, and now they are in the process of attacking Ye City. Summer is the time when they are most active. Usually when they are in a city, they will not be in love with each other. The retreat route goes northwest along this place, and they must have gone along the Great Wall."
"If there is no accident, in the past few months, there will definitely be news from the three cities of Changrong, Jintai and Jibei in the west. They will walk along the border between Liao and Chen, and they will immediately retreat after looting. Until Luoyan." Duan Ling made a fork not far from Yubi Pass in the west, and said, "Luoyan is a big city, you can't guess if you don't fight. But as soon as you reach Yubi Pass, you will get ninety During the month, the enemy will turn back to the east and return to the vicinity of Ye City. This time, they will make the last preparations before winter, lay down Ye City, and spend the winter here."
Duan Ling raised his head and looked at Li Yanqiu.
"Now we have to send someone to Yecheng immediately." Duan Ling said, "Otherwise, by the time of winter at the latest, Hejian, Yecheng, Changzhou, and the whole of Hebei will all fall into the hands of the Yuan people. If you can't change what the ambassador said, they will definitely grab it."
Li Yanqiu said, "Tell Zheng Yan to come in."
When Zheng Yan came, Li Yanqiu said to Zheng Yan again: "Zhao Mu Kuangda, Xie You, Shi Bingchang, Su Clan, and Wu Zun come to discuss matters. Invite the prince too."
Duan Ling knew that Li Yanqiu was really taking this proposal seriously, so he nodded, still sitting behind the case, Li Yanqiu just didn't speak. Wu Du wanted to close the door, but Li Yanqiu said, "It's open, it's stuffy."
Li Yanqiu leaned on the back of the seat on the couch, and a eunuch came in with a hot towel and put it on his eyes. Wu Du looked inside, with a questioning look in his eyes, Duan Ling waved his hand, indicating that he didn't have to worry. In the end, he raised his left hand again, pointing at his pulse gate, and then at Li Yanqiu.
Wu Du understood, he walked in, stretched out his finger, and placed it on Li Yanqiu's pulse.
Li Yanqiu didn't speak. After a while, Wu Du withdrew his finger and nodded to Duan Ling, indicating that he didn't have to worry.
"Although I have always been sick." Li Yanqiu said leisurely, covering his eyes with a towel, "My body is still clear."
"Yes." Duan Ling replied.
The voice fell, and the imperial study was quiet again, and the needle drop could be heard.
"Your Majesty." Duan Ling said suddenly.
"Speak." Li Yanqiu didn't move, only a voice was heard.
Duan Ling has an impulse, or just say it directly? But once he opened this mouth, he would not be able to go to Yecheng. Once this happened, it would definitely shock the government and the public. Before the truth was completely revealed, he would not be able to go anywhere.
Duan Ling hesitated for a moment, and Li Yanqiu couldn't wait for an answer, so he took the initiative to ask: "Why do you care so much about Hebei County? After the alliance of Zizhi, Hebei Prefecture has been returned to Liao, and it was only after several confrontations that they returned to the south of the three towers. City."
Just when Duan Ling was about to answer, Cai Yan came in.
"Uncle." Cai Yan bowed to Li Yanqiu, smiled at Duan Ling, and said, "Let me guess, you are Wang Shan?"
"Wang Shan sees His Royal Highness." Duan Ling stood up and saluted, Cai Yan stepped forward to help them, and they never touched each other's hands. As if the time of the move was over, Duan Ling returned to his position.
Cai Yan expected Li Yanqiu to say something, but Li Yanqiu said indifferently, "Xinke's new flower."
Said Bi handed Duan Ling's test paper to Cai Yan, Cai Yan took it, and watched it from the side. Duan Ling observed Cai Yan's face and wondered if he would show any clues. After Cai Yan read it, he didn't speak for a long time, nodded, sighed, and looked up at him with a sad and helpless smile.
Duan Ling also gave him a helpless smile - it felt very strange, like a confrontation between two emotions. At first, he felt that Cai Yan seemed to be mourning their former friendship, and there was a feeling of right and wrong. However, he gradually felt that the sadness was real and undisguised.
"Emperor?" Li Yanqiu said.
Cai Yan sat quietly, tears suddenly bursting out of his eyes and couldn't stop flowing.
Duan Ling suddenly felt that Cai Yan must have thought of his older brother, Cai Wen.
"Your Highness must not be too sad." Duan Ling said, "It is advisable to take care of your health."
Cai Yan closed his eyes, nodded, opened his eyes after a long time, and said, "Wang Shan, why did you have this name?"
Duan Lingchao explained to Li Yanqiu: "A mountain is a three-dimensional line, and a Kun is a vertical and three horizontal lines. It is the king. That is the meaning of Qiankun."
Cai Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Isn't it because your father's surname is Wang?"
Duan Ling laughed and replied, "Your Highness is wise."
Between the words, there seems to be another kind of confrontation hidden.
"Feng Duo told me today." Cai Yan said again, "In this palace exam, there are really several pillars of talent. It is really my great Chen Zhifu, God bless me for the success of the Chao Gang, and Wang Shan is also a student of the minister of minister. After so long, It was never known."
Duan Ling replied, "Fang Jin is one year old."
Cai Yan smiled and said, "The person who solved the danger of going to Tongguan a few years ago must be you."
Li Yanqiu was thoughtful, but he didn't seem to hear the conversation between Cai Yan and Duan Ling, and still looked out the door.
"And Wu Du." Duan Ling replied.
"I thought it was under the minister of the minister." Cai Yan said again, "Now it seems that it is rare to be a member of the minister's family, and to obtain the true biography of the minister." After speaking, he smiled at Li Yanqiu: "When you enter the court and become an official, when will you meet him? It must be very interesting for the court to refute what the shepherd thinks and thinks."
"Your Highness is wrong." Duan Ling leaned a little embarrassedly, pretending to be humble, knowing that Cai Yan was reminding him: If you lose, you will lose because you were once a disciple of the Prime Minister. You must have heard some conspiracy, even if you restore your identity, Mu Kuangda will definitely not leave you alive.
"Tiandijun is a teacher." Duan Ling replied with a smile, "You are in front of the teacher, you should say what you should say and do what you should do, and you won't be tongue-tied. I can't argue with it. Bring out General Xie, that's all. ."
Cai Yan and Duan Ling both laughed. Cai Yan heard what Duan Ling meant and was also warning him that even if Mu Kuangda really wanted to do something, he was still a civil official. As long as Xie You stood on his side, Mu Kuangda could not do anything. storm.
Cai Yan joked again: "General Xie rarely speaks, I'm afraid it's hard for you to persuade him."
Duan Ling understood that Cai Yan meant that Xie You would not recognize himself easily. In fact, he felt that Xie You was the person who was most likely to recognize him. For some reason, when he met him last time, the brief stupor always made him feel strange.
The confrontation was interrupted with the arrival of Xie You. Xie You glanced at Duan Ling, nodded, and didn't say much.
"Come quickly." Li Yanqiu said lightly.
"I'm patrolling the night outside the palace." Xie You said, "Suddenly I heard His Majesty's call and rushed over."
After Xie You arrived, Cai Yan introduced to Xie You: "This is Xinke Tan Hualang."
Xie You nodded, Duan Ling was busy saluting, Li Yanqiu hadn't made a list yet, so he shouldn't have said it, but since the prince said it, it doesn't matter. Not long after, Su Clan and others also arrived one after another, and Mu Kuangda was the last to arrive.
