Chapter 426(1/2)
The sunset city under the night tonight is lively.
The rebels in Beizhou were suppressed and restored to their rare peace. Coupled with the joy of the arrival of the New Year, the people in the city cheered and excited.
However, for the officials in Beizhou, they could not sleep peacefully.
The situation in Beizhou is getting worse and worse. As the weather has been cold since the beginning of winter and food shortages, more and more people cannot withstand the severe winter. This has led to the destruction of family and the separation of wives and children, and more and more refugees in Beizhou are also increasing.
With the surge in these refugees, the territory of Beizhou has inevitably suffered a considerable impact. Especially recently, the refugees in Beizhou have become increasingly hated by the imperial court, and many people have secretly bewitched and incited, and a new round of riots is about to begin.
For officials in Beizhou, they will not live a very stable life this year.
Previously, within half a month of Beizhou, dozens of officials died in different places overnight and their tragic deaths at home have already caused panic among many officials. Many timid officials have resigned and returned home directly.
Although power is important, life is even more important.
Although the remaining officials were still persisting, almost everyone was frightened after this incident and lived a life of full force.
I thought that the eldest princess would improve when she brought a large number of experts from the Imperial Heavenly Division to Beizhou.
But no one expected that although the Imperial Heavenly Department arrested countless people from the world, it did catch many rebels. However, those people were useless to the situation in Beizhou.
The problem in Beizhou is not something that can be solved by catching a few people or killing a few people.
In the past, Dazhao spent more than ten years to barely assimilate and tame Beizhou. Now, as conflicts in Beizhou continue to erupt and undercurrents surge, the peace over the past ten years is vaguely broken.
...
It's late at night and people are quiet.
In the sunset city, in a large mansion.
In the hall.
Three figures stood in the hall, looking at the door outside the hall, looking forward to it.
These three people are all not young, and the leader is a middle-aged man in his forties. Although his hair is slightly white, his eyes are energetic and radiant, and his whole body gives people a solemn and serious feeling.
Beside him stood an old man with a gentle and easy-going appearance, and a man with a slightly short body but very bright eyes.
At this time, the three of them looked at the door from time to time.
The three of them all had a look of unconcealed excitement in their eyes.
"You said, is she true?"
The slightly shorter man couldn't help asking.
The middle-aged man in the lead did not speak, but the elegant and easy-going old man glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "She is the princess of my Northern Qi. Although she is not my Northern Qi bloodline, she was personally enthroned by the late emperor... Over the years, she has made great contributions to the revival of my Northern Qi. She will not lie to us!"
"That's what it means..."
The short man's tone trembled a little: "Your Highness, is your highness really still alive?"
The elegant and easy-going old man's tone was also a little unstable. He seemed to remember something: "In the past, my Northern Qi Kingdom was destroyed, and countless loyal soldiers and palace maids in my Northern Qi Palace worked together to escort the two high men out of the palace..."
"After so many years, the Great Journey Dynasty has never found the whereabouts of the two His Highnesses. It also means that most of the two His Highnesses are still alive!"
The three people present were all former ministers of Northern Qi.
Not long ago, the three of them learned from Li Wushuang that she had found the bloodline of the late emperor.
Two of His Highnesses were found!
This news shocked and excited the three of them.
Found it?
Really found it?
"Here you come!"
At this moment, outside the hall, a servant stumbled in.
"Master, Li, Daogu Li is here..."
The three people in the hall stared at the door almost at the same time.
Soon, a gray-robed Taoist nun appeared at the door not far from the hall. A young man was also next to her.
When the three of them looked at the young man, at this moment, the three of them, who had been looking forward to it, suddenly became stunned.
The next second, the few people trembled without any hesitation and tears filled their eyes.
...
"Your Highness!!"
When Li Beifeng followed the Taoist nun into the hall, an old man appeared in front of him in tears.
The old man's hair was gray, and the destruction of time left traces on his face.
But at this moment, he was extremely excited, his eyes full of joy, tears, excitement, and trembling gathered at this moment.
It's Your Highness!
It must be Your Highness!
Too similar!
It is almost carved out in the same shape as the late emperor and the empress.
Can't be wrong.
"Your Highness, the old minister has finally seen you!"
The old man bowed to Li Beifeng and fell to the ground.
"Ren Gongya, the Minister of War of the Northern Qi Dynasty, pay homage to Your Highness!"
The two people behind him also spoke at this moment.
"In the past, the criminal general of the Northern Qi army, Qin Zong, pay homage to Your Highness!"
"Xiaomin has seen His Highness at Guanshanyue!"
“…”
Li Beifeng's eyes swept across the three of them.
Before coming, he had heard about some of the situation in the pot from the Taoist nun.
In the past, the Northern Qi Kingdom was destroyed and the late emperor was killed in battle. Countless ministers and generals chose to follow the late emperor to die. Those loyal ministers who were unwilling to survive refused the conditions for surrender to Dazhao and were almost killed by Dazhao.
The few loyal ministers in front of them were left from the sword of the Great Chau. It was also over the years that they had been operating behind their backs, thinking about reviving Northern Qi all the time.
At this moment, when he saw the three people in front of him, Li Beifeng felt a vague feeling that he could not speak.
"Everyone, get up!"
After a while of silence, Li Beifeng spoke.
The three of them then slowly stood up.
Ren Gongya, the Minister of War, was crying and excited at this moment.
"Your Highness, I have been looking for you for a long time. The late emperor bless you, your highness, you are safe and sound. God bless me, Northern Qi, my life should not be lost, hahaha..."
As he spoke, Ren Gongya was so excited that she cried and laughed.
Faced with this excited old minister of Northern Qi, Li Beifeng didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
Fortunately, the Taoist nun on the side rescued the siege very soon.
"Okay, Your Highness has nothing to do, Mr. Ren doesn't need to be so excited..."
Ren Gongya then seemed to come back to her senses and quickly wiped away the tears from her face: "It was an old minister who offended Your Highness. Please don't blame him!"
After the few people's emotions stabilized, the few people took their seats in the hall.
The eyes of Ren Gongya and his friends were still on Li Beifeng.
They were all important officials around His Majesty back then. They had seen the late emperor and the Empress close up, so they were naturally very familiar with His Majesty and the Empress.
Therefore, at the moment they saw Li Beifeng's appearance, they had already confirmed.
Li Beifeng must be the royal bloodline saved back then.
It is his only bloodline in Northern Qi.
Hope too!
"Your Highness!"
At this time, Ren Gongya calmed down. He looked at Li Beifeng with a slightly excited look.
"We have been waiting for Your Highness for many years. It is a blessing to find Your Highness now..."
"In the past, Dazhao bullied me from Northern Qi and destroyed my Northern Qi rivers and mountains. I can't forget these national hatreds and family hatreds day and night!"
"Now with the leadership of Your Highness and our help, we will definitely be able to restore our Northern Qi Dynasty. The national hatred of our Northern Qi and Dazhao for so many years is time to break it!"
Gu/span Ren Gongya's tone was very excited, and a look of hatred appeared in his eyes.
Back then, his wife, children, all of his elders died tragically under the Iron Cavalry of Dazhao. There was an irreconcilable hatred between him and Dazhao.
