Wishing You Eternal Happiness - Chapter 108

In the spring of the sixth year of Zhaoping, in order to seek a loophole, after thirty years, the northern Hu people gathered 300,000 cavalry and went south again aggressively.

Longyou Jiedu made Pei You’an the general of Peking University, led a dozen states including Yan, Yun, Gan, etc., to command the imperial army and horses, and went north to meet the enemy.

Just when the smoke on the northern border came back, in April, the clan King Changle claimed that he had found the young emperor Xiao Yu, and on the grounds that Xiao Lie was still in the orthodox, he set up a rebellion in the feudal Dongchang Mansion and secretly sent people to raid Gengzhou. After breaking through the guards, the abandoned prince Xiao Yintang, who had been imprisoned for several years, was released. Then, under the joint slogan of the righteous way, he claimed to have assembled 100,000 horses, slightly Dongchang, and occupying Jinan. At first, it was huge and everyone in Shandong. In self-defense, half a year later, in the autumn of this year, when he led his troops out of Shandong, he encountered Liu Jiushao’s powerful sniper.

King Changle was defeated, and he retreated to the hall of Dongchang Mansion in a hurry, and then the city was surrounded.

When the king of Changle was stubbornly resisting, Xiao Yintang took advantage of the chaos and killed him. Xiao Yintang killed several of the sons and brothers of the king of Changle, as well as the fake Xiao Yu who was promoted as a young emperor, and raised more than a dozen people. The head is at the head of the city, saying that he had no intention of rebelling from beginning to end. He was only held here from the ancestral land by the King Changle, and was forced to take the opportunity to kill the rebellious leader and the fake Xiao Yu who pretended to be the young emperor. The emperor hopes to investigate and pardon him. .

While continuing to besie the city, Liu Jiushao sent someone to deliver Xiao Yintang’s love letter to the capital.

When the love letter was delivered to the imperial study room, the emperor ended the early dynasty, and not long after he came back, he was playing chess with Ci’er.

In the early days, courtiers discussed two news.

One is the progress of the war outside the northern pass. After squatting with the Hu people for more than half a year, more than a dozen days ago, Pei Youan led the army, placed the formation outside Jianmen Pass, broke Hu Qi, and the Hu people fled to the northwest. In order not to give the opponent a chance to regroup, Pei Youan took advantage of the victory and pursued, trying to break the royal court to avoid future troubles. The war has entered a critical period.

Another news is that Liu Jiuzhao besieged the king of Changle, the abandoned prince and the fake young emperor, and now he is waiting to catch a turtle in the urn.

Both were good news. Not only did the courtiers smile, but the emperor’s mood was also rarely relaxed. He returned to the Imperial Study Room, processed some memorials, and asked Li Yuangui to call for Ci’er.

Ci’er was brought by Cui Yinshui, and the grandfather and grandson began to play chess again.

In the past half a year, the emperor did not bring Ci’er to worship the Taimiao, but he did not let Jiafu and Ci’er go out of the palace. The ministers originally thought that the emperor wanted the child to be the grandson of the emperor, but after waiting for more than half a year, there was no follow-up. At first, because of external and internal troubles, I was unwilling to do this. Recently, the situation has gradually become clear. The ministers put aside their hearts and paid attention to the matter again. All were silent, neither denying nor nodding. The ministers had always been afraid of the emperor’s prestige, so they didn’t dare to go beyond the rules, and things dragged down like this.

Xiyuan is now Ci’er’s living place. There are Taiye ponds, swan houses, tiger houses, and many rare and exotic animals. Ci’er followed Jiafu, completing the civil and martial arts assignments given by her father every morning. She couldn’t move. The rest of the time, either accompanied her mother, or playing games, or was called by the emperor to accompany her at his knees. The emperor often called Ci’er to play chess to relieve fatigue. , And almost four years old in a blink of an eye.

When playing chess, the emperor said that his father should be able to come back before the end of the year. Ci’er’s eyes were bright and he was very happy. The emperor started to stroke his beard and laughed. Gradually, he seemed to have thought of something. Condensed, when Li Yuangui entered the house, Liu Jiushao sent a victory report from Dongchang Mansion.

With a glance and ten lines, the emperor read Liu Jiuzhao’s memorial report of Xiao Yintang’s killing of King Changle and the impersonation of Shao Di and others, and said coldly, “I don’t know who he is? The Zhang family and Ni Wang had been secretly colluding. He killed his father first , Frantic, and now he is collaborating with King Ni to plot a rebellion. He is desperate.”

“Long live, Master Liu sent a separate report together, saying that it is a petition from the prince who has been abolished…”

Li Yuangui presented another secret letter sealed with flame paint and looked at the emperor carefully.

The emperor glanced at the secret letter, his face was extremely ugly, after a long while, he finally took it, took it apart, took out the inner letter raft, glanced, his face changed greatly, fixedly staring at the letter, and suddenly his eyes closed.” With a sound, the whole person fell from the couch.

Li Yuangui was shocked and called the imperial physician anxiously. He and the nearby palace people carried the emperor onto the couch and pinched the people, but the emperor closed his eyes and made no response. Ci’er just took the chess piece in his hand, and was waiting for Grandpa Huang to turn around and continue playing chess with him. When he saw that he was not good, she jumped up in shock and called “Grandpa Huang”. Li Yuangui hurriedly asked Cui Yinshui to send Ci’er back first. He noticed that the letter paper was still pinched by the emperor and pulled it out. He quickly glanced at it, and was shocked, and immediately hid the letter paper in his arms.

After his son was picked up by the emperor, Jiafu was sewing in the room. Not long after that, he suddenly saw Cui Yinshui sending him back. With tears on her face, Ci’er threw herself into her arms, wiping tears from her heart, “Mother, just now Grandpa Huang played chess with me. After reading the letter, it suddenly became ill, and she fell off…”

Jiafu was taken aback and asked Cui Yinshui. Only then did he know that the emperor had just received the latest news about the Dongchang Mansion rebellion. He was not well and fainted. As for what the news was, Cui Yinshui didn’t know.

Gaffer took her son inside and comforted him. Because it was difficult for me to walk around, there was no news, and I was so anxious. In the middle of the night, Ci’er fell asleep, and Cui Yinshui looked for her and said that Li Yuangui had invited her over.

Jiafu asked Cui Yinshui to guard Ci’er, and immediately went to Chengguang Hall where the Imperial Study Room was. Doctor Hu looked solemn and they were trying their best to treat them. Li Yuangui was aside, with a deep worried look on his eyes. Seeing Jiafu coming, he wiped the corners of her eyes and motioned for her to come with her. When the two arrived in a partial hall, Li Yuangui withdrew from the palace, Jiafu asked anxiously: “What’s the matter with long live? What happened?”

Li Yuangui silently took out a piece of letter paper from his arms and handed it over.

Gaffer took it.

The letter was actually written by Xiao Yintang, who rebelled with King Changle. He said that he had killed the Emperor Changle and the fake young emperor who had held him in rebellion for the emperor, and now made two demands of the emperor.

First, the re-establishment of his crown prince, after the re-establishment, the emperor abdicated in the name of the emperor, and he ascended to the throne.

Second, on the day of receipt of this letter, Jia Fu was immediately sent to the hall of Dongchang Mansion. Within ten days, if he can’t see anyone, he will tell the world about Pei Youan’s life experience, so that everyone in the world knows that Pei Youan is the son of the current emperor and the empress Tianxi.

Xiao Yintang said that the secret he knew was unequivocal. Pei Xiuzhi of the Weiguo Palace is now in his hands. Pei Xiuzhi also testified that Pei Youan is not the biological son of Duke Wei Guo, but the adopted son taken from outside by Duke Wei Guo 30 years ago.

Xiao Yintang finally said that if the emperor agreed to his two conditions, after he became the throne, he would treat Pei Youan well and save his life.

However, as long as one condition cannot be met, instead of being imprisoned for the rest of his life, he would rather burn the jade and the stone.

After reading the letter, Jia Fu was stunned.

After Pei Xiuzhi went out for a banquet two months ago, he did not return to the house and disappeared strangely. Mrs. Xin was extremely anxious at the time. Pei Quan also reported the matter to the court a few days later. After all, he was a national man, and some people were missing. At that time, the Capitol of the Five Armies launched a search throughout the city, but no one was found. In the end, he had to be included in the list.

Never thought that Pei Xiuzhi would fall into Xiao Yintang’s hands.

“General Liu said that Tangyi has been trapped by him, the food in the city has been exhausted, and the prince rebels have been abolished, and he can support at most ten days. Long live unconscious in the daytime. I have not yet woken up at this moment. I am afraid that the courtiers will find out. The imperial court is in chaos and is still guarding the news…”

Li Yuangui looked at Jiafu and said in a low voice, his expression was extremely heavy.

Jiafu knew in his heart that Xiao Yintang wanted to pass by herself within half a month. In addition to using her as a host to prevent Liu Jiu Shao from attacking the city, his thoughts were more far-reaching, and it should also be used by Pei Youan in the future.

But the secret of Pei Youan’s life experience, apart from the deceased grandmother, Wei Guogong, the emperor, Pei Youan and himself, no one else in this world should know.

How did Xiao Yintang learn this secret? Could it be that Zhouhou had also guessed it before and mentioned it in front of him?

Gaffer was confused for a while, and his hands and feet were extremely cold.

Xiao Yintang was deposed as a prince, and fell from the cloud into the quagmire. He was imprisoned in Gengzhou for so many years, and finally got him out of chaos. Less than a year after the rebellion, he was defeated again, if he was forced to do so. At the end of the road, it is very likely that the fish will die and the net will be broken.

Jiafu didn’t dare to imagine, once the secret of Pei Youan’s life experience was revealed to the world, how everything would end up at that time.

“Madam, this matter is really important. I can’t tolerate half of the incident. Long live I am still unconscious. I can only do my best and invite my wife to discuss. Please edit a book and tell the matter to Master Pei. I will do it tonight. People send out!”

Jiafu suppressed the disordered mood and came to the table, and hurriedly wrote the letter with the paper and pen prepared in advance. Li Yuangui sealed it with fire paint, summoned a cronies, confessed, the cronies accepted the letter in his arms, and left immediately. go.

“Gong Gong, how long can the letter be delivered?”

Li Yuangui’s brows frowned slightly: “It will take eight hundred miles to expedite, and it will be available in five days. It’s just that Master Pei should go deep into the Hudi in case of chasing…”

Even if the news can be delivered to Pei Youan on time, and others are outside the customs, and war-ridden, it is impossible to rush back within ten days.

Jiafu closed her eyes for a moment, then opened her eyes: “Gong Li, within ten days, he will not be able to rush to Tangyi in any case. Since the waste prince wants me to go, I will go…”

“Madam, how can you take the risk alone? Never!”

“I must go, hold him first, and wait for my husband to come back! Father-in-law, you know, this matter is not only related to my husband and Jin Shang, but also to the Empress Yuan. Even if the prince is only a threat, it must not be taken. This is a half-point risk!”

Gaffer’s face was slightly pale, her voice was not high, but her tone was extremely solemn.

“You don’t have to say, I’m determined. You prepare to go on the road for me, I will leave tonight!”

Li Yuangui looked at her steadily, slowly knelt down to her, and kowtowed: “Slaves follow the order!”

…

Jiafu hurried back to Xiyuan, and three watch drums came from the direction of the bell and drum tower in the northeast corner of the palace.

Ci’er was still asleep. Gaffer sat by the bed, staring at his son’s sleeping face for a long time, and finally leaned down, kissed his forehead lightly, then turned around and went away.

Cui Yinshui didn’t know the ins and outs of the matter, only knew that something great should have happened, she was going out of the palace, and she didn’t know when to return, so she entrusted the little emperor and grandson to him and said with tears, “Don’t worry, madam. The maidservant will take care of the little boy.”

Gaffer nodded, turned his head, and finally glanced at his sleeping son, brought his face deeply into his mind, and turned away.

…

At the end of October in the sixth year of Zhaoping, on the last day specified in the letter, a horse-drawn carriage carrying a mysterious woman passed through the camp of thousands of horses, and finally stopped at the besieged city of Dongchang Palace. Before the West Gate.

Standing at the head of the city, Xiao Yintang shouted loudly to order Liu Jiushao’s encircling soldiers to withdraw from the city with a stone’s throw, and then quickly descended from the head of the city and ordered someone to open the city gate.

Wearing a cloak from hood to toe, Gaffer only showed half of his face, bent over from the carriage door, and stood there, staring at the front with a pair of wonderful eyes.

The city gate opened, and a figure quickly walked out of it, sprinting towards her.

Xiao Yintang, who hadn’t seen him for many years, the man in the last nightmare of her last life, just like that, appeared in front of her again.

Xiao Yintang stood by the carriage, facing up slightly, the autumn sun shining on his face, and his whole body revealed a hysterical gloomy air. He stared at her closely, his eyes flickering, and gradually, a smile appeared on his lips.

He stretched out a hand to her to help her get out of the carriage.

Gaffer avoided it, helped the shaft to get out of the car, and walked in toward the city gate.
