"Mother, I'm afraid things may be a bit troublesome." Mrs. Zhaowu frowned, moved towards the throne, and then whispered, "I just received the news from my father at home, do you want to say no... The great victory... "
Gu Zhen was startled and asked, "Is there something wrong with father or Li'er?"
"That's not true." Mrs. Zhaowu Bo sighed, "That's not a problem!"
The queen was confused: "Wei He invaded the territory of another country and massacred the common people. Even the clan members of the noble concubine were brutally attacked. In such a situation, what happened to the great victory?"
Don't talk about that situation. Normally, a great victory should be a good thing, right
"But before that great victory, when Wei He's elite had no way to escape, they took Xie Jian, the father of the imperial concubine, to negotiate and ordered my father to give way." Mrs. Zhaowu Bo smiled bitterly, "My father also knew the imperial concubine's character and did not dare to He refused, so he planned to fight with Fang Xu and try to see if he could find an opportunity to save Dongna Xie Jian. Who knows... There are soldiers in the army who are in a similar situation to the Xie family. Everyone in the family died at Wei He's legs, and even the young soldier , the newlywed wife was only five months pregnant. She originally stayed with him in Yanzhou and nothing would happen to her. My father really started negotiating with the wrong party. He said that my father was intimidated by the imperial concubine and planned to compromise. But he was so anxious that... unexpectedly... "
"Suddenly he bent his bow and shot Xie Jian in public!"
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the matter of taking Donglai. Uncle Zhaowu may not be willing to let the wrong party go. Xie Jian is dead, so why should he be worried
Therefore, he continued to cover up the killing and achieved a great victory that was enough to satisfy the king and his subjects.
However, after the victory, a problem arose. Xie Jian died in full view of the public. The imperial concubine was favored, and she was a master who was not easy to mess with. Can we not give her an explanation
That explanation would be difficult.
The Queen was so confused after hearing this that she pinched her forehead for a while and then asked with difficulty: "If it really can't be done, let the soldier be handed over to the imperial concubine? Speaking of which, he is not a pitiful person. Maybe... maybe the imperial concubine wants to show sympathy for the same illness. What about a lighter sentence?"
She didn't have any confidence in what she said.
Yun Fenghuang asked if it was so easy to shut up that Mrs. Zhaowu had to enter the palace in advance to talk to her daughter who was the queen
Besides, could it be revenge for killing my father
Even if the soldier was excusable in the eyes of unrelated people, from Yun Fenghuang's point of view, if she easily let go of the enemy who killed her biological father, the people of Tiandong would also doubt her filial piety.
But it was also very difficult for Uncle Zhao Wu to stand.
Even though the soldier had it, his mood was understandable; secondly, as the commander-in-chief, no matter how bad the soldier was, according to the tacit understanding, he should handle it instead of handing it over to a concubine.
If the problem is not done, Yun Fenghuang will definitely not give up.
Concubine Min was already very concerned about her. During those months when the concubine was ill, the emperor's pity became even stronger. At that time, the mistake with the concubine was...
Gu Zhen felt weak for a while and said, "How about asking my father to expel him from the army, and then escort him to the imperial capital and hand him over to the noble concubine?"
Although doing so is a bit deceptive, but it can save a little bit of dignity...
"How can it be so simple?" Mrs. Zhaowu Bo said with a wry smile, "The soldiers are young, young people are impulsive... After killing Xie Jian, my father asked people to watch him, intending to wait until Wei He's army was wiped out. We’ll make plans later.”
If you are a sensible person, you should be angry when you hear this, and the coach may have the intention to protect you.
It turned out that the soldier was already grief-stricken. After hearing this, he turned around and killed himself when the people looking at him were not paying attention!
Now that it's fine, if Uncle Zhaowu doesn't care about his own face and is willing to let the imperial concubine vent his anger, then... he can't just transport the body over and let the imperial concubine cut it up
"..." Gu Zhen felt dizzy. She imagined Dong. If Uncle Zhaowu encountered something similar, would she compromise? Neither can she!
She has always prided herself on being ordinary and having a good temperament! ! !
What's more, Concubine Nomin
Is she a master who can poison her legs if no one messes with her, let alone kill her father's enemy!
"Then what are the family going to do now?" The queen asked exhausted, "Is it possible to explain it to the noble concubine? Is that kind of thing... can you explain it?"
Mrs. Zhaowu Uncle sighed: "My grandfather didn't mean that. With such a big grudge, our family would inevitably beg Concubine Bei to hate her. Can she explain it clearly? Therefore, she allowed him to enter the palace, but she didn't. Remind me to be careful in the future. Even if the imperial concubine was very ambitious in the past and lived in harmony with us wives, she will never be able to do that in the future... Oh, that doesn't matter, it's just fine... Bidong is wise, and when my father comes back and meets the Holy Spirit, he will definitely mention that aspect for me, and Bidong should take care of me more in the future."
Dong hesitated, and finally said, "If the noble concubine accuses me of that matter in the future, I will bear with it, at least until Bi Dongcuo's pity for her is gone. Otherwise, even if Bi Dong doesn't say no, Those who intend to establish a legitimate son must not make mistakes. Xuanqing Palace is in the east and feels guilty. Don't cause things like the regent did, and let King Jin get something he shouldn't have!"
"Whether he is willing to endure it, but the concubine's legs will not prevent her from letting others have ambitions to destroy her own prestige, and the empress dowager, a loving mother, will not be able to save fuel. Can I see that it is very difficult to go back to Fuyang County?" The queen smiled bitterly. He spoke out and said, "In the past two years... maybe he has gotten that old, and his body and bones have become worse and worse. If he goes east, he is really afraid that he will end up with the imperial concubine! Originally, she was younger than him He was nearly ten years old. If he had worked harder at that time, he was afraid that he would not be able to make it to twelve and they would grow up. By then, would there be any clever girls in the family who could take over the position of successor? Even if there were, Can the imperial concubine watch?"
Mrs. Zhaowu Bo was startled when she heard this. She looked at her daughter consciously and saw that Gu Zhen's profile looked red and beautiful at first glance. However, due to frequent blows in the past two years, she had lived in worry and fear for many years. There was fatigue in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. If he looked closely, he could see that there were already fine lines, but he looked very old.
She felt sad in her heart and whispered: "Those years were really hard on me!"
Is the Queen really downhearted and finally managed to survive until the imperial concubine is willing to calm down? Is Bu Shen really calming down and not just pretending to at least let her have a peaceful confinement in the harem for two days? Then something like this happened...
At that moment, Gu Zhen wished he could die on the spot.
Concubine Min is young and energetic, but she really can't stand it.
Of course, such weakness only lasted for a moment. After being comforted by Mrs. Zhaowu, Gu Zhen calmed down and said with a forced smile: "There were a lot of things in those two years, and I was a little upset. Bu Nao, Xiao Shi and Twelve are young. , why can’t you endure it? My family has spent so much effort, and finally it’s the bright moon, so there’s no reason to give up halfway.”
While the mother and daughter were whispering, Yun Fenghuang was holding the secret letter in Huanhua Hall and burst into tears: "If I had doubts about Uncle Zhaowu's speculation before, how can this be the ironclad proof!!! What soldiers are afraid of committing suicide on the spot? , He has been in the army for many years. If he could not even look down on his own soldiers, he would probably have been in charge of the Dingbei Army for a long time?! It is almost the same as saying whether he killed people and silenced them!!!"
She simply didn't believe that the angry soldiers acted on their own initiative!
The most important thing in the military is whether orders and prohibitions are followed.
Gu Fangshu was born in the army and had led the army for many years, but he couldn't do anything like that. What the hell was he doing
Like those waiters from the Qing Dynasty, who didn’t have their families massacred? Is it possible? After crying, was it difficult to serve the master as usual? He didn’t even propose to go back with Xie Xiaoyu and the others to take a look!
Yun Fenghuang didn't believe that Gu Fangshu's training of Dong's legs was not as good as his own.
"...Who sent that letter?" After a while, she stopped crying and choked with fear.
The Qing man hesitated to speak, but he whispered before: "No... The Qi family sent them to the Eighteenth Young Master's residence in the Imperial Capital. In addition to the letter, he also brought a few words with him."
Yun Fenghuang had mixed feelings in his heart and said, "What are you talking about?"
"Ms. Qi... The person who came here said that there seemed to be some extraterrestrial affairs, so the empress did not act rashly." Qingren pursed his lips, clenched his fists tightly, and said, "Ms. Qi... Is that what you meant there, Mrs. Xie's other It's just that the people were very small, because Wei He came and went like the wind that month, and the city was in chaos, and nothing could be found for the time being. But it seems that Uncle Zhao Wu happened upon it by mistake. It turned out that those Wei people Heren plans to take the master back to resume his life with Xifa... "
She was very worried when she relayed it, fearing that it would arouse Yun Fenghuang's angry reaction.
After all, the Yun Fenghuang brothers and sisters had already suspected Uncle Zhaowu. At that time, Qi Jiulu hinted that Uncle Zhaowu might not be the real murderer. Combined with the news that Qi Jiulu had been valued by Uncle Zhaowu ever since he entered the Dingbei Army, it is difficult not to make people doubt whether he was giving a warning to Zhaowu. Gu Fangshu excused himself.
"..." Yun Fenghuang calmed down very quickly. She was silent for a while and did not have an attack. Then she said slowly, "Since he said that, he must not be talking empty words?"
Qing Ren whispered: "I'm still investigating if you have any news. If there is any news, I will send it to you immediately."
Yun Fenghuang closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and asked, "Do you know what the Qi family suffered that time?"
"Reply to the empress." Hearing the words, Qingqing's voice was choked with sobs, "The damage to the side branches of the Qi family does not count. As for the main branch, except for the women, children, old and weak who were killed when the city was destroyed, the rest... almost all escaped. !!!”
Yun Fenghuang's expression suddenly changed. After a long time, she said very slowly: "I said... Does the Qi family have great blessings? No... Qi Jiulu... is indeed as rich as Uncle Zhaowu?"
The Qingren cried out in mourning: "Mother, I don't know! I don't know!!!"
She knelt east, walked to Yun Fenghuang, held her legs and arms, and begged in sobs, "Your Majesty is so smart that I cannot catch up with you! I beg your Majesty to be aware of everything and avenge my family and the Xie family." avenge!"
Yun Fenghuang let her sway indifferently, his fingertips and heart feeling cold at all.
