In the early morning of the next day, the angel who came to Luoyue City from the capital this time could not wait to come to the door again.
"Your Majesty," Eunuch Jiang, who passed the decree, shook the whisk and asked with a smile, "Our family wants to ask Your Majesty, when will Miss Xiao set off with our family to the capital, and our family can return to the emperor as soon as possible. ."
Unexpectedly, King Zhennan shook his head and said decisively: "Eunuch Jiang, the little girl can't go with the father-in-law to the capital..." At the same time, King Zhennan gestured for the servant to return the imperial decree. Eunuch Jiang.
Eunuch Jiang looked at the bright yellow imperial decree, he couldn't believe his ears, and he blurted out with a sharp voice: "Your Highness, you... are you trying to resist the decree?!"
"Hey, loyalty and filial piety can't be both!" King Zhennan said half emotionally and half helplessly, "Eunuch Jiang, you only know one, but you don't know the other. Our Zhennan Palace has guarded the southern border for decades. Back then, my father led the Southern Border Army to repel the southern barbarian army who had violated the border. He swore before the battle that my Zhennan Palace was incompatible with the barbarians. The whole Southern Border knew about this... So the girls of Zhennan Palace must not Marry a barbarian!"
King Zhennan spoke righteous words and was impassioned. At the end, he slapped his right palm heavily on the table, "Pah--" Even the tea cup on the table was shaken.
Eunuch Jiang was dumbfounded. Not to mention whether what King Zhennan said is true or false, but the "barbarian" in the mouth of the old town Nanwang refers to "Southern Barbarian Baiyue", not "Western Night".
Jiang Gonggong's words came to his mouth, but he swallowed them back. Up and down the court, who knows that this Zhennan Wangfu is not a soft persimmon to be kneaded by others, and he has said too much, what if he is forced to stay in the southern border like Chen Rentai?
Thinking about it, Eunuch Jiang felt a little nervous in his heart.
However, King Zhennan didn't notice what was wrong with Eunuch Jiang, and felt complacent in his heart. He felt that what he said just now was really too beautiful. Presumably, when the emperor found out, he should be relieved of their Zhennan Palace!
"Eunuch Jiang," King Zhennan said sternly, "when the father-in-law returns to the capital, please appeal to the emperor on behalf of this king. Our Zhennan palace has been loyal to Dayu since our late father, and the world can learn from it... …”
The King of Zhennan expressed his loyalty, and then sent someone to send Eunuch Jiang away. As for Eunuch Jiang, his heart was extremely complicated. He didn't know whether to worry that he did not complete the mission entrusted by the emperor on this trip, or to be happy that he left safely. to the southern border...
Eunuch Jiang just left with the imperial decree in such a dismal manner.
He left, but for Luo Yuecheng, this matter has just begun. After half a day, the emperor's request to Zhennan Wangfu's Mrs. Xiao and the matter of kissing Xiye spread in the city like wings, and it was immediately set off. After a while of hustle and bustle, up and down the palace, the streets and alleys in the city were discussing this matter after tea and dinner...
Yuan Yuyi lives in Bixiaotang temporarily, even if no one takes the initiative to mention it to her, she will inevitably hear the gossip of the maids and old ladies, and she is a little worried and a little complicated.
She had no idea that the emperor's cousin would put his idea on Fei's sister's head...
Now that the palace is resisting the decree, how will the emperor's cousin react? !
In this complicated mind, Yuan Yuyi went to Nangong Yue's yard. What she didn't expect was that both Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei were surprisingly calm, as if nothing had happened in the past two days. I didn't get angry because of this imperial decree, nor did I feel uneasy because of resisting the decree, everything was business as usual.
Seeing this, Yuan Yuyi also felt relieved and continued to play with Xiao Yu. She walked around Luoyue City with Nangongyue, Xiao Fei and Han Qixia, trying all kinds of new things in the city, from jewelry, clothes, ornaments to all kinds of food. , every day is pleasant and fulfilling...
At the same time, all the mansions in Luoyue City also had some ripples because of this imperial decree, especially those mansion that planned to hire Xiao Fei as a daughter-in-law, but the Zhennan mansion sternly rejected the request of the emperor and his relatives, and let them see to hope...
As for the consequences of Zhennan Wangfu's resistance to the decree, almost no one cares. There are two. Anyway, this is not the first time the palace has resisted the decree. It's not that it's nothing, and even later they will ask them to borrow troops from the Southern Border Army to solve the danger of the Western Border.
Anyway, there is the Shizi, they just need to follow the Shizi's lead!
In just three days, this wave in the southern border gradually subsided. At the same time, on November 18, Chuliang City in the western border also ushered in an imperial decree, making Chuliang City, which was already in a state of turmoil, suddenly entered a severe winter. The cold wind whistled to the bone.
The person sent by the emperor to issue the decree was Marquis Weiyuan. He was the emperor's henchman. He came from thousands of miles, of course, not only to pass the decree, but also to replace Han Huaijun to preside over the overall situation of the Western Border.
When Marquis Weiyuan finished reciting the imperial decree, the hall was completely silent. Marquis Weiyuan looked down at Han Huaijun from a high altitude. After a short while, he heard Han Huaijun's somewhat stiff voice:
"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"
Han Huaijun raised his hands high and took the bright yellow imperial decree from Weiyuanhou's hand.
Then, he stood up and looked at Wei Yuanhou, who was less than three feet away from him, and looked directly at him.
Han Huaijun was half a head taller than Weiyuanhou. Suddenly, it was as if the status of the two had changed instantly. The feeling of being looked down on made Weiyuanhou uncomfortable, and his lips pursed into a straight line.
Han Huaijun looked at Weiyuan Hou with an indifferent expression, and slowly clasped his fists and asked, "Master Hou, dare to ask what you plan to do next?"
Weiyuan Hou frowned and said indifferently: "General Han, military intelligence is secret, a criminal of yours has no right to intervene!" His tone was somewhat arrogant.
Han Huaijun still looked at Marquis Weiyuan, his dark eyes were so dark that it was difficult to distinguish them, and they were as deep as a bottomless abyss.
Marquis Weiyuan raised his hand and ordered in a high voice: "Come here! Bring General Han to Ben Marquis!"
Several personal soldiers behind Weiyuanhou hurried forward and pinched Han Huaijun one by one. , but did not convict Han Huaijun, but this Weiyuanhou treated him like a prisoner.
They wanted to step forward, but because of Han Huaijun's eyes, they didn't dare to act rashly.
Han Huaijun glanced at Hou Weiyuan again, and under the escort of three or four soldiers, he walked out of the hall in silence, only to hear Hou Weiyuan's powerful order from behind: "Lieutenant General Gong, this time, you will go to Xiye in person. Hand and book!"
Han Huaijun's eyes darkened, but he didn't stop, let alone make a sound. The soldiers took him to the courtyard in the northwest corner of the garrison. The entrance of the courtyard was closely guarded by a dozen soldiers...
After Weiyuan Marquis sent out the peace letter, three days later, Xiye sent envoy Dali Lin to Chuliang City and talked with Weiyuan Marquis several times.
On November 23, after another long conversation between you and me, the two sides finally reached a preliminary agreement.
On this day, Han Huaijun, who had been under house arrest for several days, was taken out of the courtyard and came to the main hall of the garrison again.
After not seeing him for a few days, Han Huaijun's handsome face has a lot of stubble, and the faint shadows around him look a little haggard.
Han Huaijun's eyes quickly swept over Dali Rin, who was next to him. His eyes were as deep as the sea, and finally fell on Weiyuan Hou. He clasped his fists and said, "I wonder if the Hou Ye asked the last general to come here for any advice?"
Weiyuanhou and Dali Rin both looked at Han Huaijun, their thoughts were different, but they both showed a sense of superiority.
For them, Han Huaijun's ending was already doomed!
A light flashed in Weiyuanhou's eyes. He didn't speak to Han Huaijun. Instead, he turned to Dali Rin and said, "Lord Dali Rin, this man... I will leave it to you."
Han Huaijun's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked Weiyuan Hou before Dali Rin, "Master Hou, do you want to hand over the last commander to Xiye Ren?"
Han Huaijun's voice was cold, with shock, disappointment, and anger.
"Is this what the emperor meant?" Han Huaijun asked again with difficulty.
Marquis Weiyuan was stunned by Han Huaijun's gaze, and he looked directly at Han Huaijun without flinching, and this time he called him by name: "Han Huaijun, you are living up to the holy will, you violate yin and yang, if you do not obey the decree, even death is not enough. to atone for sin."
Weiyuanhou did not directly answer Han Huaijun's question, but the implication was self-evident.
The night before Marquis Weiyuan left the capital, the emperor deliberately summoned him in the imperial study. Although he did not order him to punish Han Huaijun, he gave him a secret message to "act cheaply".
Now, for the sake of quelling the war between the two countries, it is time for him to "act cheaply".
If Han Huaijun's life can be exchanged for the two countries to quell the war, it will be worth it!
Dali Rin looked at Han Huaijun as if he was looking at a dead man, and reminded arrogantly: "Marquis Weiyuan, don't forget, there are people from the Southern Border Army!"
After a pause, Dali said coldly, "Without Han Huaijun and Yao Lianghang, we would never have a peace talk in Xiye!" His demeanor and tone were unquestionable.
"Lord Dali Rin," Weiyuan Hou said with a smile and clasped his fists, "Don't worry, Ben Hou has sent someone to Jinglan City to invite Yao Lianghang to come over... Calculate the time, people should arrive."
Dayu Army and Xiye have been facing off in Chuliang City for nearly two months. You advance and I retreat. I advance and you retreat. Half a month ago, Yao Lianghang and Han Huaijun worked together to retake Jinglan City again. After that, Yao Lianghang led the Southern Border Army. Guarded in Jinglan City.
Now, as long as Yao Lianghang is coaxed back with the imperial decree, the next step is simple...
Thinking, Wei Yuanhou's eyes flashed a faint hint of color. If this errand is completed, then he is a hero of Dayu, and their "hou" mansion may become a "guo Gong" mansion.
As Weiyuan Hou estimated, Vice-General Gong had arrived at Jinglan City at this moment, and was asking to see Yao Lianghang outside the city gate.
After a while, Yao Lianghang appeared on the city wall belatedly, looked down at Vice-General Gong and others outside the city and asked, "You said Marquis Weiyuan wants to see this general?"
Lieutenant General Gong, who was sitting astride a brown horse, looked up at Yao Lianghang, and said loudly, "Our Marquis is here to issue the decree on the order of the emperor. General Yao, please also visit Chuliang City with the last general."
Yao Lianghang raised his brows, seemed suspicious, and asked, "Do you have an imperial edict?!"
"Our Marquis naturally has an imperial decree, and the imperial decree is in Chuliang City." Vice Admiral Gong said, and took out a gold medal engraved with "As I am here" from his arms, holding the gold medal high, "There will be a gold medal at the end." He secretly said. Fortunately, Hou Weiyuan had foresight, knowing that people from the Southern Border Army would not be so obedient.
"Okay, then General Ben will come with you."
Yao Lianghang's words made Vice-General Gong finally relieved, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes.
After a while, the heavy city gate was pulled open from the inside, Yao Lianghang and four or five Xuanjia Army soldiers rode out, and the group set off immediately, and the target was naturally Chu Liangcheng.
Chuliang City and Jinglan City were only half a day's journey away. They were all riding horses that were one of a kind in a hundred miles. They arrived at Chuliang City in less than two hours. At this moment, it was only halfway through Shen Shi, and the sun had already started to slant west...
There is a lot of yellow sand in the Western Xinjiang, but in this short two-hour journey, their bodies are already covered with yellow sand, and it seems that they are full of dust.
Outside the city of Chuliang, it seemed calm at first glance, and the war did not leave too many traces on the city walls.
However, when Yao Lianghang and a few people entered the city, the atmosphere inside suddenly changed.
"Tap..."
"Ta Tata..."
The sound of rumbling footsteps came from all directions, and a group of murderous soldiers came out from the streets, and surrounded Yao Lianghang and several people in layers.
Above the city wall, there are dozens of archers with big bows on standby. The bowstrings are taut, and the dense arrows are aimed at Yao Lianghang.
Yao Lianghang looked around and saw that the people on the nearby streets all closed their doors, but curiously opened a little door or moved a little window, watching the movement on the side of the city gate.
At the center of the spearhead, Yao Lianghang still sat astride the horse, looked back at Vice General Gong and asked, "Lieutenant General Gong, what do you mean?!"
Vice-General Gong didn't seem to hear Yao Lianghang's voice, and looked straight ahead with bright eyes. Several soldiers with long knives retreated to both sides, making way for a narrow path. Weiyuan Hou and Dali Rin strode towards this side. come over. Vice Admiral Gong clasped his fist at Weiyuanhou and said, "Master Hou, the general will live up to his trust."
Marquis Weiyuan responded, then looked at Yao Lianghang, held the bright yellow imperial decree in one hand, and said righteously: "Yao Lianghang, you are daring, you acted in perverse ways, and provoked disputes between the two countries. Today, this marquis was ordered to take it. I'm sorry! What else do you have to say!"
Weiyuan Hou was talking, but Yao Lianghang was looking at Dali Rin. Although he didn't know this person, he could guess from the other person's dress that he was a man from the West Night.
Seeing that Yao Lianghang was silent, Vice Admiral Gong said in a pretentious manner, "Yao Lianghang, you will be captured before you can!"
Yao Lianghang finally looked at Marquis Weiyuan, his young face was solemn, and his whole body released a fierce aura.
Yao Lianghang asked slowly: "Master Hou, dare to ask me how the ten thousand soldiers of the Southern Border Army should be?"
Weiyuan Marquis frowned slightly, but Yao Lianghang didn't intend to listen to his answer at all, and went on to say: "I have 10,000 soldiers from the southern border come thousands of miles, throwing blood for the sake of the Great Yu country, and continuously from the hands of Xiye people. Recapture the four cities of Yamen City, Xi Leng City, Chuliang City and Jinglan City, but now the Marquis wants to hide everything?"
After a pause, he laughed sarcastically, and said angrily: "No, it's not that all the birds are hiding their bows, it's that the emperor is begging for surrender to the west night, taking us soldiers who are dedicated to fighting for the prosperity as gifts to flatter the west night! Marquis, the emperor is like this, it really makes our soldiers and soldiers feel chilled, how can those Dayu people who died in vain rest in peace in the spirit of heaven!"
Every word and every word of his contains righteous indignation and unwillingness, like waves coming in wave after wave, and the waves are getting higher and higher...
I don't know when, half of the nearby houses opened their doors, and people came out of the house one by one, sparsely, mostly young and old.
This city of Chuliang was once occupied by Xiye people for several months. When the city was destroyed, Xiye people burned and looted here, slaughtering many strong men. Now the people in this city are less than half of the original.
At this moment, these yellow-faced and thin-skinned people are all looking at the imperial decree in the hands of Weiyuanhou, and their eyes are a little sharp in the sun, like knives...
Weiyuan Hou felt a sigh in his heart, knowing that something was wrong.
He hurriedly raised his voice and interrupted Yao Lianghang: "Bullshit! Yao Lianghang, now, you still want to confuse right and wrong, and intend to slander the emperor! It is clearly that you and Han Huaijun did not comply with the decree, and went to war without authorization, causing the people of Western Xinjiang to suffer. The family is ruined..."
Weiyuan Hou Zhen asked in a plausible manner: "You have committed such a murderous crime, and this Hou asked you, have you ever thought about these innocent people?!"
Yao Lianghang smiled when he looked at Marquis Weiyuan, and stopped talking. His eyes moved to the rear. Behind the crowd, a few Xirong soldiers escorted Han Huaijun towards this side...
Yao Lianghang's eyes flashed, and he suddenly moved, only to hear the sound of stepping footsteps one after another, those soldiers all waved their swords and approached him for half a step, but they didn't want Yao Lianghang to throw the scabbard on the ground, and then turned over from the horse. .
His movements seemed to be a signal, and the soldiers behind him also threw away the scabbards in their hands, and the landing sound of "bang bang bang" came one after another...
Does this mean that Yao Lianghang was caught without his hands? !
Weiyuan Hou was stunned for a while, he didn't expect Yao Lianghang to accept his fate so easily... But after thinking about it again, he thought what would happen if he didn't surrender! They have tens of thousands of troops here. Could it be that Yao Lianghang can still be defeated with one enemy? ! In today's Chu Liangcheng, the one who calls the shots is himself!
Weiyuanhou raised his hand and made a gesture, and immediately a soldier stepped forward to clamp Yao Lianghang's arms behind him, and tied his wrists with hemp ropes.
Upon seeing this, Dali Rin's mouth twitched, showing a satisfied smile, he stepped forward and clasped his fists at Weiyuanhou: "Master Hou is really refreshing! When I go back, I will express to my king and the general your lord and general. Lord Hou's sincerity. I believe that you and our two countries will be able to rebuild the alliance!"
Dali Rin spoke in a high-sounding manner, Weiyuan Hou was delighted, and hurriedly echoed: "Your Excellency is auspicious. I hope that your Excellency will have a few good words for me Dayu. I Dayu have absolute sincerity to negotiate with Xiye."
After that, Hou Weiyuan personally sent Dali Rin and other Xiye people, Han Huaijun, Yao Lianghang, and the others out of the city.
The sun gradually fell, and now it has disappeared from the western sky. The crimson sunset dyed the clouds in the west, like fire, like blood, like the flowers on the other side of the roadside in Huangquan, releasing an ominous feeling. breath.
Dali Rin led more than 20 personal soldiers and escorted two prisoners all the way to Liuquan City, which was dozens of miles away.
As the sun sets over the horizon, the sky gets darker and darker until it is completely engulfed in darkness.
Dari Rin and his party hurriedly lit the torches to light up the road ahead, but the darkness was like a dense fog, no matter how many torches were lit, it would only illuminate a few dozen feet ahead.
Hurrying on the official road at night, Dari Rin and his party raised a 12-point vigilance and kept an eye on the surroundings from time to time.
"Ta Tata..."
The sound of the hooves and the wheels of the wheel was very loud in the silence of the night.
After passing through a familiar pavilion, Dali Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After passing this Qili Pavilion, you will soon arrive at Liuquan City..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a chill behind him, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood up on end...
The words "be careful" were too late to say, only to hear the sound of breaking the air coming from both sides of the official road, "Swish swish!"
One of the personal soldiers in front of him groaned and fell backward from the black horse. There was a sharp arrow on his chest. One of his feet was still hooked on the stirrup, and the horse ran forward in shock. Go, dragging his body forward.
In the blink of an eye, everything was messed up!
