The Palace of Peach and Plum - Chapter 85

When autumn and winter are approaching and the grassland is not abundant in water and grass, the nomads on the grassland will come to Dayan to thresh grass on the border. For the soldiers on the frontiers, this is already a thing of habit.

It’s just that if it is ordinary threshing grass, it will not alarm His Majesty the Emperor to send Qin|wang out, and frontier soldiers can beat people back by themselves.

When Li came to the border, naturally there was something important to investigate.

Some spies came to report that the Turkic civil strife was quelled by a prince, who is now in the position of profuse sweat and is ambitious towards Yan Chao.

Forget it, it seems that there are still people in the DPRK colluding with this new great Khan to betray the intelligence of the DPRK.

His Majesty the Emperor calmed down Burma. It was at a time when he was full of ambitions, how could anyone snoring on the couch? Dare to fight Yan Chao’s idea? He must have beaten his brother’s nose and face, making him regret it.

As for those who are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, if they are found, of course they must be severely punished.

Even if you can’t find it, it doesn’t matter to knock the Turk down on the ground, and the people who want to face the outside in the court have nothing to do.

His Majesty’s actions are simple and rude. Since you want to link the enemy country to the detriment of Yan Chao, you should beat all the surrounding countries to the ground and see who else you can link with.

When the borders are stable, no matter how good the general ledger is.

It is not the first time that Li Yin has fought against the Turks, and he has even fought against the current Xin Da Khan several times.

There has never been a defeat.

That Xin Da Khan was also invincible when he annexed the surrounding tribes, that is, he always lost in the face of Li Yan.

Li Yin can be described as his nemesis.

Now as soon as Li Yin arrived at the frontier, he hit him all over his head. Even if someone confided in the news, it was useless.

Li Ying also collected information about people who were collaborating with the enemy.

After receiving Li Yin’s Mizhe, His Majesty sneered and sent people to send money, food, horses, and weapons to let Li Yin fight out of the border and raise the prestige of our Da Yan Dynasty on the grassland.

Now we have a lot of food, and new smelting methods have increased the output of iron, and the cotton-padded clothes are light and warm, which can be described as full of combat effectiveness. When Yan Chao was still weak and Li Li was still the prince, the two brothers led soldiers to fight from the grassland to the grassland. Later, it was Li Li who returned to Beijing to fight for the throne.

Now Da Yan is prosperous and strong, and the boss of the Central Government has been replaced by Li Li. It is not difficult for Li Yin to take on the elite soldiers and strong generals to show his prestige once more, right?

Li Ying had long wanted to beat the Turkic.

He still remembers his grudges when he was in Ganzhou.

It’s just that the time to go back has to be delayed again, and Li Yin still missed it. People with families are always different from single dogs before.

Therefore, Li Yin often uses public power for private purposes, letting the people who send urgent secret reports to send him family letters.

People who didn’t know thought that Li Ying was asking Ling Wei for advice.

It’s impossible to say that for several unexpected big wins, Ling Wei will be credited for it.

Ling Jintang was thousands of miles away, and he was able to make suggestions for Qin|Wang. If it was like a rumor, he was a real **** and man.

Obviously Li Ying was planning his own strategy, but it seemed to give half of the credit to Ling Wei. Even when the credit was counted, someone asked if he wanted to give Ling Wei a share.

Li Yin was stunned for a few seconds before realizing what these people had misunderstood. But as a face with facial paralysis, even when he is in a daze, people think that he is thinking very seriously.

“No.” Li Yin threw out two words coldly, “The tree attracts the wind.”

The lieutenant quickly said yes. It seems that Lord Ling Hou has negotiated with Lord Qin in private. I heard that there are still a few surrounding countries, as well as Myanmar’s desire for evil, who all regard Lord Ling Hou as the primary target of assassination. As expected, it is better to keep a low profile.

I have heard from colleagues who have been to Champa in Myanmar say that Lord Ling Hou is proud, indifferent to fame and fortune, and never fights. The generals forced him for his contribution in the Burmese war.

Now it seems that it is so.

After so many conspiracy and advice, the accumulated credits have been accumulated again and again, and Lord Linghou said that if you don’t want it, you don’t want it. It’s really going to happen, and go away, hiding deeply and fame.

Those sour civil servants should learn more, this is the demeanor of celebrities.

Yes, it is a celebrity demeanor if you don’t strive for merit.

After several battles, Li Yin decided to take a cruel blow to the Turks. He was about to beat the ambitious new sweat of the Turks and the wolf in the grassland into a dog in the grassland with its tail sandwiched between them.

“I hope I can go home for the New Year.” Li Ying knew that Ling Wei had also been sent to Beijing to go to Jiangnan. I heard that the flood has subsided, and post-disaster reconstruction is proceeding in an orderly manner. I think Ling Wei will be able to return to Beijing a year ago.

“I don’t know if my son will recognize me when he sees me.” The lieutenant touched the scum on his face and said in melancholy.

Homesickness, homesickness, both generals and soldiers, homesickness. If you miss home, work hard, beat the Turks once, so that you can go home for a good year.

“Leave some good things for Jintang at that time.” Li Yin thought.

They have the right to share some of the spoils of each battle. In the past, Li Ying only picked up some randomly, but now he is a family member. He especially likes the sparkling eyes when Ling Wei counts the money. Bring more treasures back, presumably Ling Wei will be very happy.

Thinking of Ling Wei’s smile, Li Ying felt energetic.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“What’s going on?” The prince’s eyes were flushed with anxiety, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Who knew that you could meet an assassin just by going out and shopping for something? It happened to be when the guard was away?

“It didn’t hurt to the point, but…but…” The doctor who treated the wound knew that it was Lord Ling Hou lying here, and the prince who breathed fire in his eyes was trembling like a quail.

“But what? Say it!” The prince said.

“But the poison is sudden on the blade!” the doctor said, “The poison is fierce. Although the grass people have tried their best, but…but…the grass people are not good at learning!”

“Then find someone who learns art skills.” The prince waved to let the doctor out. When he came this time, he also brought the imperial doctor with him. But because it is to prevent epidemics, the doctors who come here are good at treating diseases rather than healing wounds.

The prince thought it was just an ordinary wound, so he called the famous bone-setting doctor in the city, but it turned out to be poison?

The two visiting doctors gathered together. Fortunately, they are not only good at curing diseases, but also researching poisons. His Majesty is worried that the prince is running in the field and hitting some poison.

After intense treatment, the imperial doctor finally eased Ling Wei’s condition and did not allow the toxin to spread further.

However, Ling Wei still had repeated high fevers and was unconscious.

“His Royal Highness, the medicinal materials here are limited.”

“His Royal Highness, what happened to Jintang?” After Li Hu and Li Chun were assassinated, one took over the affairs in Ling Wei’s hands, the other was in charge of public security in the city and tracked down the assassins, so busy like a top.

“Gu wants to take Jintang back to Beijing.” The prince gritted his teeth. “It’s so bold! Even the Lord Hou of the court dared to assassinate! What else do they dare not! It’s Jintang now, if Gu and Jintang go to the street together, is that also? To assassinate the lonely!”

“His Royal Highness calms down his anger.” Li Hu and Li Chun were also very angry in their hearts.

Compared with the anger of the two of them, Li Hu added a heavy panic in his heart.

He was worried that his elder brother would also be involved in this matter.

But regardless of whether they participated or not, they can only be investigated to the end. The father will never tolerate this matter.

“I ask the two elders for the matter here.” The prince smiled bitterly, “I didn’t expect to encounter this matter. The two elders should also be careful.”

“His Royal Highness, don’t worry, I am waiting here.”

“His Royal Highness, there is another person at the door to deliver something.” A guard reported, “There are still people kowtow outside.”

“Let them go back with their things. Now that the catastrophe has just passed, no one is well-off. If Jintang is awake, he won’t take the people’s things.” The prince sighed, “This is the first few waves.”

“After learning that Jintang was assassinated, every day people came to the door to deliver things and kowtow?” Li Hu looked at Ling Wei’s unconscious face, “There are also people praying for blessings in temples and gyms on the outskirts of the city. This is the heart of the people. “

“Second brother, Jintang’s injury has stabilized. The imperial doctor said that he can withstand the bumps of carriages and horses. Gu will take Jintang back to Beijing today.” The prince ordered, “After Gu and Jintang are gone, please ask the second brother to The people outside said that Jintang frustrated the salt merchants and Japanese pirates’ plot to destroy the dam and took advantage of the fire, and was injured by the Japanese pirates. The assassins were desperadoes bought by the Japanese pirates and the salt dealers.”

Li Hu was puzzled: “The matter has not been clarified, and the assassins who are left do not know whether it is a Japanese or not. Why is the Crown Prince…”

“Jintang’s assassination was not a private grudge, but a national hatred.” The prince sneered, “The man behind is not venting his anger, but collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.”

Li Hu and Li Chun trembled all over.

“After I return to Beijing alone, I will report to my father in the same way.” The prince said, “This is a fact, right?”

Before the salt merchant wanted to destroy the dam, it was Ling Wei’s hat out of nowhere. The person behind the assassination and the reason behind it have not been ascertained. Where is the fact?

But if the prince said it was a fact, and the two princes also said it was a fact, and the people thought it was a fact, then it was a fact.

Ling Wei was stabbed by the Japanese pirates because he frustrated the conspiracy of the Japanese pirates. If the person behind him was Yan Chao, it would be collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

“Of course this is a fact.” Li Chun said calmly, “I will explain it to the people.”

Li Hu stared at Li Chun blankly, and said with a wry smile: “Yes, this is a fact.”

Did Li Chun decide to change his original attitude of being on the verge of fighting for the throne and not helping each other, and formally decided to go to the side of the prince?

Well, what else can he do besides following?

I can only hope that there is no eldest brother to intervene in this matter. Collaborate with the enemy to betray the country, collide with the enemy to betray the country…

He can’t help anymore, it’s not bad if he can keep himself.

“Thanks for the two brothers.” The prince said.

“Dare not, please take the prince to bring Jintang back to Beijing as soon as possible. The injury will not be delayed.”

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The prince took Ling Wei and the imperial doctor, guarded by a group of guards, and rushed to the capital day and night, all in the carriage.

Seeing the prince did not complain, although the two doctors felt very tired, they did not dare to complain.

When watching the prince personally feed Ling Wei the broth, the audience was even more sure that the prince valued Ling Wei.

“Jintang, you have to hold on. When you leave Beijing, you have said that you will bring delicious and fun things to Jinque Ankang when you go back.” The prince muttered, “You have to check their homework. If you don’t have it, see. Now, Jin Que is naughty, and the other teachers can’t stand him at all.”

“You haven’t finished the story you told last time. Did that stupid Lu Xiaofeng, who was always deceived by women, cause some trouble again?”

“I still have a lot of questions I want to ask you. They are all written in a small book, and the small book is full.”

“When I go back, my father will scold me to death. I know that someone will be against you, I’m careless.”

“Uncle Wang is still fighting Turks in northern Xinjiang. I dare not let him know. If Uncle Wang knew, he would go crazy.”

“I’m so scared…” The prince lowered his head and sobbed softly.

He thought that when he grew up, he would not cry anymore. He has also been on the battlefield, has seen life and death, and even beheaded the enemy with his own hands. But when the life of someone close to him was threatened, he was still as helpless as the kid back then.

“Don’t die, Jintang.” The prince choked. “Jintang, Jintang, if you die, who will keep me cakes in the future? Father and queen said that I have grown up and cannot eat sweets anymore. .”

The crown prince was talking about it, and he didn’t know what to say from the time he was a child to the present, and to the end.

Everyone will have a special existence as they grow up.

Or relatives or friends, also master and father.

Although Ling Wei is his cousin from a seniority perspective. But in the process of growing up, Ling Wei has always cared for the prince as a younger generation, and the prince has always treated Ling Wei as a close elder.

Closer than his emperor father.

After all, the emperor was the emperor besides his father, so he couldn’t be more careful with the prince in life. Even the Empress Liu who took care of the prince, as the mother of a country and the lord of the harem, she had too many things to be busy with. In order to balance the harem, she even had to make her children temporarily wronged.

Temporarily alone.

The prince has always been very lonely.

He was born as a prince, born as the most noble person besides the emperor.

The numbers are too high. He is still a child, a destined lonely family.

And Ling Wei suddenly appeared and appeared in front of a lonely bear kid, caring for him like an ordinary elder, educating him, even reprimanding him, giving him the care he had never thought of, and taught him the truth that he had never thought of.

Whenever he encounters any difficulties, Ling Wei is always by his side, teaching him to tide over the difficulties, and even bear the pressure on his own, to stand up for himself.

He is a prince, he is the most noble person besides the emperor, and someone will regard him as a weak person and protect him.

Ling Wei was a close teacher to the prince, and sometimes…satisfied his nostalgia for his father.

The prince always thought, if the father is not the emperor, and their family is just ordinary people, then the father should be like Ling Wei.

Father is omnipotent, and Ling Wei is also omnipotent.

But the omnipotent Ling Wei was stabbed, injured, poisoned, and may not be able to sustain it anymore.

In the future, no one will care about him so much, no one will teach him unselfishly, and no one will tell him, except for being a prince of a country, or Qichen, Qichen likes to eat cakes, as long as you can Brush your teeth well, then eat. There is no shortage of this cake at home. It’s not a luxury that harms the country and the people, it’s just a cake, and the officials will make it for you.

“Jin Que will surely cry when I know it. Jin Que is stronger than my skills back then. After crying, no one but you can coax it. There is no way for the mother and the queen. The father and the emperor can only rely on intimidation.”

“Ankang will cry too. Ankang will have a dumb voice after crying for a long time, and will have a low-grade fever. Jintang, you love Ankang so much, why are you willing to let her cry.”

“My other brothers will also be sad, everyone is waiting for Jintang to go back.”

“Quarrel…”

“I don’t make any noise, because Jintang is too lazy and still sleeping…” the prince mumbled as he cried.

“It’s noisy…”

“Just…Huh, Jintang, are you awake?!” The prince wiped a tear and said loudly, “Doctor! Doctor! Jintang is awake!”

The carriage stopped immediately, and the imperial doctor who had fallen apart stumbled over, took the pulse, and rolled his eyelids.

Ling Wei squinted and was tossed for a while, feeling that his consciousness of being awakened was about to be tossed back again.

“The injury is very stable. Although the poison is spreading, there is no life-threatening danger.” The imperial doctor breathed a sigh of relief. Please hold on to Hou Ye.”

Ling Wei let out a weak “um”, and then intermittently said: “Don’t cry, I’m fine, how old I am, and crying.”

“I didn’t cry.” The prince burst into tears. “Jintang, you are so useless. You can’t beat a few assassins. Go back and let Uncle Wang train you.”

“Okay.” Ling Wei squeezed out a smile, “When the eagle flies back, let him take us to the hot spring in Zhuangzi on the outskirts, bring Jinque and the others, we have a snowball fight and make snowmen.”

“That’s it.” The prince choked.

“That’s it.” When Ling Wei said these few words, he had exhausted all his strength and began to close his eyes to rest.

When the medicine arrived, Ling Wei insisted on drinking it.

In fact, his consciousness has been half awake, and sometimes he can hear the sound of the outside world, but he seems to be shrouded in a shell, unable to break free.

The prince babbled all the way, making his head buzzing. In the end, the prince’s cries grew louder and louder, and finally his consciousness broke through the dark shell and emerged from the noise.

Ling Wei knew that the prince would be sad for himself, but did not expect the prince would be so sad. Seeing the prince crying embarrassed, Ling Wei felt distressed and moved.

The previous friendship was not in vain, the prince is really a good boy with strong affection.

It’s just that at this time, he is still talking about cakes. How much resentment does the prince have for being restricted to sweets?

No matter, when the health is better, I will think about some sweets for the prince to eat. He has been busy with work in recent years, and he hasn’t enjoyed life for a long time.

Finally, His Majesty the Emperor gave him a holiday some time ago, but as a result, he hadn’t had enough rest, and he was thrown to the south of the Yangtze River. In the wind and in the rain

That’s it, all the meat that was raised after exhaustion was lost, and in the end he was stabbed and poisoned.

It’s miserable.

I hope he can survive this time.

You can’t let your own man come back to avenge yourself, right? He will go crazy. It’s better to pay this hatred yourself.

“Jintang, if I keep talking, you will stay awake all the time?” The prince asked the doctor. The doctor said that Ling Wei had better time to be awake, because he was afraid that he would not wake up after falling asleep again.

“I still have to take a rest.” Ling Wei drank the medicine, and then barely swallowed some food, his spirit recovered a little, and his speech was reluctant to speak neatly. It was just the influence of toxins. He was still burning with low-grade and high-grade fever repeatedly, and the burning was very confused. The wet cloth on his forehead was constantly changing to cool his head.

He was really worried that he was burnt stupid first because he was not poisoned to death.

“Then I wake up and chat with Jintang. Jintang cheers up and will soon be in the capital. There are many powerful doctors in the capital, and there are endless medicinal materials.” The prince flattened his mouth and looked as if he wanted it again. Cried out.

Ling Wei sighed: “His Royal Highness tell the next official about the assassination of the next official.”

The prince nodded hurriedly, telling Ling Wei everything in detail.

When Ling Wei was assassinated, although there were not many guards, the guards in the city had been tight, so soldiers patrolling in the city were soon attracted.

But suicide is not so easy. Several people who failed to commit suicide were taken back and tortured severely.

It’s just that the assassins were all similar to dead men. They were all brainwashed. They didn’t know the people behind the scenes and didn’t care who they killed. However, the interrogator still interrogated some details, which is now under investigation.

“Those people do have something to do with salt merchants.” The prince said, “It also has something to do with some prominent local families, maybe… it has something to do with some people in North Korea. But there is too little evidence, and there is still no clue.”

Although the truth has not yet been found out, the prince will never let people define it as Ling Wei’s own enemies. Therefore, he killed the dead assassins among those who were killed by Japanese pirates. There must be some among them. Japanese pirates participate.

As long as the Japanese pirates participated in the assassination, it would change from the assassination of an ordinary official to the provocation of Dayan Chao Guowei. If the real culprit can be found in the future, the real culprit will also be detained in collusion with the Japanese nation. Assassinated the hats of court officials.

“Jintang said before that the salt merchant was going to destroy the dam. I also asked the second and fourth elders to tell the people like this. They came to kill only when Jintang saw through the conspiracy.” The prince asked, “Jintang, I am so. Is it right?”

“Yes.” Ling Wei was very pleased. “The prince is becoming more and more like His Majesty the Emperor. From now on, he will no longer be able to treat His Royal Highness as a child.”

“I was not a child.” After being praised by Ling Wei, the prince was very happy.

“Then since your Royal Highness is not a child, don’t listen to the story? Cakes are also something children eat. By the way, before he was sent to office, he had been thinking about other foods. After the injury healed, let the little ones to taste. .”

“…Jintang…”

“His Royal Highness, just study hard, don’t be greedy.”

“Jintang QAQ… I’m still a child.”

“Puff…cough cough cough…”

“Be careful, stop choking, drink some water…”

Looking at the teenager who broke into tears and smiled, Ling Wei breathed a sigh of relief. Such an energetic appearance is the Prince’s Royal Highness, and his face is not good at all with a crying face.
