Destined to Be Empress - Chapter 266
In the early morning of the next day, situ Ming appointed Yan Jintian, general of Wuwei, as commander-in-chief of the northern expedition, and dispatched 5000 cavalry from Jiangbei camp to fight against the rebellion. At that time, the situation of three armies confronting each other in the northern battlefield had lasted for many days. The army of King Zhao and the army of the imperial court had a tense confrontation at a checkpoint outside his fiefdom, but Liang Xu in the North showed a wait-and-see situation. The 100000 troops pressed on the north side of the Zhao Kingdom’s fiefdom, neither ordered the withdrawal of troops, nor did he mean to attack the court on both sides.
In the manor of Zhao Wang, Zhao Wang had just finished the discussion with his advisers and returned to the backyard.
During this period, Princess Zhao was always nervous. She spent a lot of time eating and chanting Buddha every day. On that day, she went back to the yard to wait after her morning class. When she saw the king come back, she immediately met her: “Lord!”
Seeing that she was waiting here, the king of Zhao didn’t feel surprised. He walked forward and took her hand into the house.
“How are things today?” Entering the door, Princess Zhao couldn’t wait to ask.
Zhao Wang didn’t say anything, but the heavy expression on his face showed everything. Princess Zhao felt a flurry in her heart. She was holding a handkerchief in her hand. Her eyes were disorderly and she couldn’t find a safe place to settle down. She murmured: “how can things get to this situation today? Is the emperor still awake? Wang Ye, do you want to find a way to send a letter to the capital, even if Rui Wang is in charge of politics, or at least explain it clearly. You have lived in a corner for so many years. If you really want to keep your ambition, how can you be forced into this situation by surprise? No matter how long the stalemate goes on, it’s amazing that we’ll go back to Beijing to accept the guilt and hand over the military power to the imperial court. Even if we’re locked up, we can’t ask for anything else. As long as you and the children are safe, we can be together. ”
Having been husband and wife for more than 20 years, Princess Zhao’s temperament is gentle and generous. Even if the king of Zhao has always belonged to another person, he has feelings for his princess. Looking at his wife’s worried face, he just sighed heavily: “but where there is room to turn around, when I was in the capital, would I not fight for it? It’s no use. They’re too determined to tolerate me. This is the end of the matter. Even if I’m willing to go back and accept the guilt, our family will die badly
“What do you do then?” Princess Zhao was so anxious that she almost cried out: “I know that you have saved some money these years. However, with our foundation in this fief, if you want to fight against the imperial court, you can’t win at all.”
Zhao Wang looked at her. Although he felt guilty for her from the bottom of his heart, he just shook her hand and said with a bitter smile, “I have implicated you!”
When Princess Zhao saw him like this, she only felt sour in her heart and slightly red in her eyes. A moment later, she took back her hand and pressed the corner of her eye with a veil. Then she took a deep breath and barely lifted her spirits and said, “don’t say anything like this. We are husband and wife. I should share weal and woe with you, but…” “Two
children, I was afraid that if something happened, they would…”
In the middle of the speech, I couldn’t speak any more.
Zhao Wang held her finger hard, and finally said truthfully: “I just got the secret report today. Rui Wang’s life is Yan Jin Tian. He is on the way to this side.”
Yan’s father and son, after a long time in the battlefield, let who dare not underestimate.
“What?” Princess Zhao was more and more panicked: “so, he must kill us all?” “The emperor is seriously ill and unconscious, and the life and death of King Zhao is unknown. But for various reasons, King Rui is not well-known among the courtiers, and there are some doubts. This is the time when he needs to establish prestige as soon as possible to frighten the courtiers. We are in a bad luck. I’m afraid that he has been selected as the stepping stone for his prestige and position.” Zhao Wangdao.
He let go of the princess’s hand, and then walked to the door, looking out at the scenery in the yard, unable to do anything about it.
Princess Zhao was stunned for a long time, or with a trace of hope, she went over and asked, “in this war, the prince has no chance of winning?” “It’s not that the odds are too much, but that the outcome is unknown, and the risks to be taken are too great!” Zhao Wang Dao, with a deep look in his eyes, finally took a deep breath, then turned around and took the princess’s hand and said, “I think so. Before the war, let the two children pretend to leave first. Now
I don’t want to be able to leave the whole body. If I come out here and delay, the two children still have a chance!”
When he mentioned this, Princess Zhao’s eyes lit up, and her heart also followed a burst of bright hall, “is that ok? Is it really possible? ”
Even did not think of their own comfort, to the deep urgent annotation of Zhao Wang’s face.
Looking at the bright and burning hope in her eyes, Zhao Wang suddenly felt that the light in her eyes was too warm and shining, which made his eyes ache. He looked aside quietly, not opening the focus of his eyes, comforting Princess Zhao: “chen’er has some skills. Now the most dangerous imperial court is in the south, but Liang Xu in the North has been on the wait-and-see situation. Moreover, there is a rumor outside that it is very possible that King Zhao is still alive. At this time, he is hiding in the army of Northern Xinjiang and chen’er meets with him Mo Ni, let her take Qing’er to the north. If King Zhaowang is really in the army of Liang Xu, then everything will be OK. Even if there is no one, Liang Xu is still hesitating because of the rumors of Rui Wang killing the king and plotting against him. He stares at himIt’s just me and Rui Wang. The two children have a great chance to get out of the pass. As long as they get away, you and I will have no worries. If we succeed in the future, we will take them back for reunion. If we are not lucky Then there is no regret for death
Parents, of course, are most concerned about children.
Princess Zhao has been extremely nervous to listen to his analysis, and then nodded: “good! Let them go! Lord, it should not be too late… ” “I’ve got someone to prepare for it!” Zhao Wang patted her on the shoulder, “but Qing’er’s problem, I’m afraid she will attack on the road, they are running for their lives, not too many people to follow, so they can’t take the doctor with you. You’d better prepare more medicine for her in case of emergency.
!”
“Good! I see. I’ll get ready now In the heart, Princess Zhao didn’t expect to escape.
She hurried out of the house in her handkerchief.
Zhao Wang has been standing at the door, until she went out for a long time, are dignified, do not know what is thinking.
After standing in silence for a while, he stepped out of the yard and turned to situ Haichen. Because he discovered the secret of King Zhao, the relationship between situ Haichen and his father and son has been in a rigid state for a long time. Although he has a lot of complaints about what the king has done, he will not sit idly by and ignore him since Zhao’s residence has been forced to this stage. Although he tries his best to surround the king, he goes to inspect the city defense every day to prepare for the war.
The king of Zhao was counting the time when he went back to the mansion. As expected, situ Haichen had just come back and entered the study. Then the king of Zhao came in with the door.
Situ Haichen looked up and saw that it was him, and his face immediately became cold.
But the other side is his father, and has always loved him, he is not used to being rude, or stand up and walk to one side.
Zhao Wang looked at this attitude, but he didn’t get angry. He just sighed a little, and then he said straight to the point: “Rui Wang sent Yan Jintian to come here. It should be a war soon. I made an arrangement. You can take your sister with you tonight.”
After hearing this, situ Haichen could not ignore it. He turned his head and retorted in a cold and sarcastic tone: “Yan Jintian? In the previous palace Bureau, was not the father and the king united with him to do it? Aren’t you on the united front? Rui Wang sent him here. Don’t you think you can push the boat along the river, and then go back and kill a gun King Zhao ignored his disrespectful attitude directly, but stood with his hands on his back. His expression was dignified but his attitude was extremely tough. He said, “what I did, you don’t need to ask, I don’t need to explain to you. You just need to see clearly – except for the incident in the womb before the battle, I can live with you for 20 years. If you want to recognize me as a father, you can take your sister and keep this blood for your father, even if you are worthy of me
When he said this, he choked situ Haichen.
In fact, his heart is not blame Zhao Wang as a chess piece, these days of cold war, just hope that King Zhao can give him an explanation and reason.
Obviously, the king of Zhao was not prepared to explain at all.
Situ Haichen was indignant and clenched his fist.
The king of Zhao came forward and patted him on the shoulder. Then he looked into his eyes and said, “yes, I was born. I’m not perfect. But chen’er, I’m your father. When do you want to be angry with me?”
Yes, they are in such a situation that they will die at any time. Are they so deadlocked that they will regret their death?
Situ Haichen looked at the face of the man who had been rapidly aging in front of him. He was also inexplicably sour in his heart.
Yes! Zhao Wang is right. No matter what he conceals from himself, he is still perfect as a father in these years.
“Let the mother and sister go. I will stay with my father.” Situ Haichen said in a firm tone.
Zhao Wang looked at him with his first smile in days.
Father and son, four eyes opposite.
At last, he said firmly: “no! You take your sister! I have discussed with your mother and concubine just now. I wanted you to take them with me, but she refused, and I couldn’t help her! ”
Situ Haichen frowned more and more tightly: “I’ll talk to my mother’s concubine!”
He was about to go out, but he was stopped by the king of Zhao. Zhao Wang looked at him, his face was sad and helpless, and sighed heavily: “you don’t know the temperament of your mother’s concubine And you and Qing’er are the lifeblood of her. You can protect Qing’er well, even if it’s over, we two old people’s worries. Chen’er, father Wang knows that you are filial, but you are the only son of my father. I have raised you for more than 20 years. Are you really ready to let me busy in vain? ”
Their family’s feelings have always been very good. In this case, no matter in his feelings, he felt that he could not abandon his parents and leave.”Father -” Zhao Wang’s words were too pessimistic, which made him feel inexplicable panic.
King Zhao interrupted his words and repeated solemnly again: “take your sister. If you and I really have something in the back, you don’t have to think about revenge for us. If you two live well, your mother and I will be at ease!”
“I…” What else does situ Haichen want to say.
Zhao Wang did not let: “your mother’s concubine’s mood is not calm now, you don’t want to make her sad again, prepare for a while, you leave in the dark!”
He looked at his son, although the tone was still command tone, but there was obvious begging in his look.
This kind of look directly made situ Haichen unable to say no more.
After a long silence, he finally nodded in a dull voice: “Well!”
The stone in King Zhao’s heart fell to the ground, but his face was restrained and did not show clearly.
He patted his son on the shoulder and walked out the door.
His entourage followed suit, and the two men came out of situ Haichen and went back to Zhao Wang’s study in the front yard.
Closing the door, the retinue hesitated and asked for the words he had endured for a long time: “my Lord, don’t you really arrange for the princess to go with them?”
“Chen’er’s Kung Fu is not very good at all. If both the mother and daughter follow, the burden will be heavy, and the hope of escape will be greatly reduced.” Zhao Wangdao. At the beginning, he weighed the pros and cons very clearly at the beginning, so he made a firm decision without any hesitation and hesitation. At this time, he suddenly thought of the woman who had been sleeping with him for so many years, and then he felt upset. Finally, he closed his eyes and sighed bitterly: “in this life, I am doomed to be sorry for her, but this matter has not There is another way
We must let situ Haichen go in the name of escorting Princess Qinghe, so that situ Haichen will go. This is perfect.
He didn’t want to talk about it any more, and then he turned the topic aside and said, “Yan Jintian’s news should be closely watched. There must be no carelessness or carelessness.”
“I know it!” The retinue cautiously agreed, and then thought of it with indignation: “this time we Zhao Wangfu took his way, which was regarded as a disaster by him. But Lord, he set up such a big Bureau and calculated you with such great pains. What on earth is it for?”
The king of Zhao never told situ Haichen that he was forced to participate in the palace design bureau because he was threatened by Yan Jintian.
In fact, Yan Jintian didn’t cheat him. When he came to him, Yan Jintian made it very clear –
either the king of Zhao did it according to his arrangement, or he immediately disclosed his secret to the world.
So tough and so straightforward.
Even King Zhao knew from the very beginning the risks and consequences of doing that, but he could only agree, because if he agreed, his family still had time to deal with it. If he didn’t, he would lose the most important thing he had kept for so many years.
So that day, he knew he couldn’t do it. He cooperated with Yan Jintian to make trouble in the palace. But in the end, he could only be happy. Although they were in a mess, their family still won an extra day and escaped from the capital.
At this time, the king of Zhao did not even have room for regret. Because in front of Yan Jintian, he was suppressed to death, and there was no other way to go, so there was no regret.
But he did not want to understand, what is the purpose of Yan Jintian’s tossing around such a big circle?
Just to pit them in the Zhao palace? Then it’s OK to make a disaster in the capital. Why give them the chance to escape here and then use the troops of the imperial court to pursue them?
Is the idea of this man the same as that of his father, Yan Liang, in order to create a war, and then gain fame through the military achievements?
No matter what the man really wanted, the king of Zhao could not continue to speculate on what he was trying to do. He chose the eight most effective guards and took a car cloth as cover to disguise a pair of children as merchants and left from the back house of King Zhao’s residence at night.
He personally sent a pair of children out of the house, but Princess Zhao was afraid that she could not bear to see the parting scene, so she hid in the house without showing up.
Princess Qinghe’s tears were all over her face, choked and speechless.
Although situ Haichen didn’t want to go like this, when he looked at his sister, he couldn’t help but bite his teeth and got on the carriage.
The carriage went in the direction of the north gate. At the same time, in a dark corner nearby, someone also quietly released a carrier pigeon.
