Summer wraps autumn, water keeps wind

Chapter 110

It was already half a year after Ji Hai, and the situation became more and more delicate.I don't know when and when there was a rumor that the king didn't see the king, saying that the relationship between the noble sons was not what it used to be, and it was gradually full of wings and it was difficult to meet each other.The second master has been reorganizing in the south of the Yangtze River all the year round. Although the third master was in the court, he had already delegated power to him. He didn't often discuss state affairs with the uncle.

The matter of filling the river has really taken shape. In order to speed up the matter of filling the river, the imperial court sent officers and soldiers to each village in Chudi to escort the people into Sichuan. The reconciliation was finally done, and the land inequality in the south was greatly alleviated. This year, the tax revenue in Sichuan and Chongqing has doubled.

The third master also managed the business affairs between Quanrong and Zhongyuan, and he has made great achievements, and his reputation has gradually overshadowed others.A little discerning feel sorry for the third master, I'm afraid it's not good for him to be a master of power.But the Holy Majesty was not suspicious at all, and even delegated power to him, and the third master has always been respectful to the court, and he can't see the slightest disobedience. Dreamed.

At the end of the year, this undercurrent finally came to light.

The dog army suddenly assembled at the border, the court was shocked, and quickly dispatched the army to the border to confront each other. The situation was very tense for a while.

This Quanrong Guoshu hadn't entered the capital yet, and there was trouble in the capital first.

I don't know who wrote the crusade against Prince Xuan, who had not been in Beijing for many years, and made several crimes.Different from the previous call to crusade against King Yi, not only was it circulated among the people, but also some people in the court made a fuss about it, and gradually there were rumors that they wanted to take this call to Qingjun's side.

The emperor was furious at the time, and whoever dared to mention the king's side would know the rebellion. The school affairs office arrested a group of people and tortured them to extract a confession.

The King of Weiyi has enumerated the contributions the Yi family has made to the court since the founding of the country. The dynasty alone has pacified the south and suppressed the rebellion in the north. Such loyalty and goodness are often suspected. If it is just to suppress military power, the King of Weiyi is willing to suffer for the stability of the country and the well-being of the people.Only the imperial court listened to the slander, arrested Chu people and entered Sichuan, all kinds of atrocities are too numerous to record. If he, the king of Weiyi, can't even protect his own people, he will have no face to face his ancestors, let alone be sorry for the great trust of the late emperor.The soldiers and civilians of the Chu region will unite and must be on the side of the Qing emperor to restore the Qing Dynasty to the court.

Bi Xin held the booklet with trembling hands. After the war, he saved the national treasury for recuperation. He sent a group of soldiers home.Recently, Quan Rong assembled an army and dispatched a group of people to go there. Most of the northern army's combat power was cut off.

However, if all the troops in the country are gathered together, they will naturally outperform the Chu land. Only the king of Weiyi has elite troops.He didn't want to fight, but on the side of the Qing Dynasty, it was absolutely impossible. The rebellions in the past dynasties were first on the side of the Qing Dynasty and then the regent, and finally the puppet abdicated. He was familiar with history books, and he knew this situation very well.

The current situation is critical, and at this juncture, the second prince Xuan, the target of public criticism, disappeared in the south of the Yangtze River.All the people from the imperial court and the people from Chudi rushed to nothing before they even reached Jinling.

For a time, martial law was imposed in the capital, and Chu soldiers were on standby.

In the first lunar month of the Gengzi Year, the sky was covered with snow, and the brazier in the house was burning with flickering light, and all the things in the past turned into a wisp of green smoke and fell into a dream.

"Father, my son brings you hot soup."

After a "snap", the man on the bed stood up coughing and shouted at the child: "Who taught you this? Gentlemen stay away from the kitchen! Don't focus on these little girls' things! Go back to study!"

"Daddy is sick, my son wants...I want you to get well soon." The child knelt by the bed and cried.

"The father hasn't been buried yet, don't cry here, let you study in the house, don't be lazy, don't forget your identity."

The child was yelled at and cried, unable to answer.

"Where's the princess?"

"I'm here." A submissive figure came in from outside the room.

"Take it home and teach it well! What is it like to cry and cry? If you can't teach well, send it to the ancestral hall to watch."

"The concubine is guilty, the child is filial, but it shouldn't be done like this."

"If he really has filial piety, he should study hard and act like the eldest son. This kind of thing will naturally be done by servants. Don't bother about this kind of thing!"

"Xi'er, hurry up, kowtow to father and admit your mistake." The princess led the child and kowtowed.

"I'm right!" With an exclamation, Li Ji woke up from his dream.

"I'm right, that's right." It was another murmur, dripping with sweat.

There was no daylight in the blue sky, and the wind and snow never stopped. Even though it was the first month of the lunar year, it didn't look festive at all.Wrapped in a crane cloak with white crepe and fragrant fox fur, with a yellow sable collar wrapped around his neck, Li Ji was holding something in his big sleeves, and stepped into the inner hall of Zichen Palace on snow.

"Are you here?" Bi Xin nestled in the corner of the couch, looking at him coldly.

Liji bowed and sat down on the other side of the couch.He waved his hand, and everyone around him went down.

Liji showed the thing in his hand from his sleeve, and put it lightly on the small table.He glanced at him, and his expression changed a few times.

"Your Majesty won't fail to recognize this purse dyed with sweetgum, right?" Li Ji pushed the purse forward, then straightened his clothes and sat upright.

"What do you mean?" Bi Xinwo remained motionless.

Li Ji held the purse for a closer look, and then said: "There is no second pattern like this in the whole capital, not to mention that the ice cracks are not a popular pattern in Beijing, Your Majesty should be able to recognize it."

"If you try your best to fake it, it's not impossible." Bi Xin couldn't help shaking.

Liji calmly took out the small bottle dyed with sweetgum, opened it, and a fishy smell wafted out from it.

"Bi Xin, you and I don't need to go around, I'll get this out of the way. Liufu is in my hands, and I only want all the guards in the capital." Liji resealed the bottle and put it on the bottle with a "snap". On the small table.

His eyes turned red, he didn't know whether it was a sneer or helplessness, he huddled there dejectedly.

"Liu Fu treats you like a brother, yet you threaten me with him?"

"It's not threatening, it's protecting him. If my people don't take him away first, the news will kill him now."

Bi Xin looked at Li Ji, stayed for a long while, and then squeezed out words through his teeth: "I know him, he will never be afraid of threats, even if he dies, he will not bow his head."

"But you, aren't you afraid?" Li Ji smiled, peeled a yellow fruit with his own hands, and handed it over.

"If he dies, I won't live alone." Bi Xin straightened up and pointed at him and said sharply, "But you will surely die before me, and your family will be buried with you!"

Liji smiled, neither angry nor frightened, just smiling.

"Your Majesty, why do you need to get angry? How do you know that I am not here to help you?"

"It's all in this situation, what else is there to pretend?"

"If you really don't believe in me, you would have detained me as a hostage long ago, why would you let me walk around like this?"

"That's because I don't want to make things worse."

"You can't if you don't want to?" Liji's expression changed suddenly, and he looked directly at him.

Bi Xin's eyelids twitched when he asked, he squeezed the pillow tightly with his hands, and gritted his teeth.

"Your Majesty doesn't want to fight, and neither do I. If you want peace talks, you must have sincerity. If the guards of the capital are in the hands of the ministers, I think the father will definitely be willing to go to Beijing for peace talks."

"If we want to fight, even if we add dog soldiers, can the strength of my whole country not match these soldiers and horses?" Bi Xin smiled at Li Ji with confidence.

"If you want a bloody battle, His Majesty would have sent troops earlier, but how can this country and its people stand the slaughter?"

Liji stroked the cracked ice tenderly, and then said to him: "Bi Xin, you can't be cruel, you can't do it. You can't bear to see so many innocent people die for you, and you can't bear to see the people around you. dead before you."

"So you don't save Rouyan, you want me to watch her as hopeless, you want to force me?" Bi Xin's eyes were red, and his voice became unbelievable.

"I'm not her! She has her own plans, do you want me to tie her up and let her live?" Li Ji seemed to be provoked, and then said: "If a person has no thoughts, no one can save him."

Li Ji looked at Bi Xin again, smiled wryly and said, "If he could really save people, he shouldn't have left, he's all foolish!"

Bi Xin got up and rushed to him, grabbed Li Ji, and said bitterly: "How dare you mention him? Liu Huanghu's death has nothing to do with your family! He grew up with Zhen and Fu'er, and he was born with love. Yes, why did it disappear after it was in your hands? The rumors of these years have gradually come to light, what your Yi family has done, you know better than me in your heart!"

"Then you should listen to me even more! Can you avenge Huang Hu when you are crazy now, can you save Liufu, can you save the people of the world from being slaughtered? The murderer is at large, how many lives are you going to use to avenge this? Qiu, can you afford the price to pay?" Li Ji didn't show any weakness, instead grabbed Bi Xin's wrist and scolded.

"But what else can I do? Do I trust you? They are your father and your elder brother. They are your father and your elder brother. I don't have such high expectations for you." Bi Xin let go of him and sneered.

"I just want to facilitate this peace talks, so as to save lives. I promise that I will never force the palace to commit crimes. If Your Majesty finds another way to delay and fear the ministers, it will not work." Li Ji stood up and gave a big salute.

"Get out!" Bi Xin sat back on the couch and waved his hands.

"Gao Dutong's family, wife and children of the Imperial Forest Army are visiting the minister's mansion. Of course you don't need to worry about them, but Gao Dutong is afraid that he can't bear the responsibility. It's better to let the minister come if you change the general."

Seeing that Bi Xin still didn't answer, Li Ji leaned closer and said softly: "If I want to fight you, there are ten thousand ways I can use, and I don't need to beat around the bush like this. You may not believe it, but within a few days, there will be several soldiers. The excerpts in the book implore Your Majesty Qing Dynasty, there are many generals in the fortresses and surrounding areas of the capital. It will be too late for you to dispatch troops and generals again."

"Will the king of Weiyi enter Beijing alone?" Bi Xin said coldly.

"So what about leading soldiers, as long as he is not allowed to enter the city, as long as the guards of the capital are in my hands, I think my father is willing to talk about it."

Li Ji said again: "In the current situation, with all the troops of the father to attack, there is only a [-] to [-]% chance of winning. Even if you can't win, it will be enough for your majesty. If your father can negotiate peace, he is willing to ask for something in exchange for your majesty to sit firmly in the country." .”

"You want me to put all my treasures on you?"

"You don't have a choice either."

Liji bowed to the ground with a big gift.
