In late autumn in northern Xinjiang, some are gray and withered yellow leaves are constantly falling.
When Yang Xuan came back again, he found that everyone looked at him differently.
"come over!"
Old Liu was waiting for him halfway.
"Mr. Liu." Yang Xuan came over with a smile.
"After you left, your reputation as Commander Yang spread throughout Northern Xinjiang. You were the first to take the lead in this battle!" Liu Qing turned around and walked side by side with him, saying in a low voice: "My husband and Deputy Commander Liao were discussing behind closed doors.
It lasted for a long time. Then, my husband ordered people to send good news everywhere, and you were the first. Little boy, do you know what this means?"
Old Huang... Yang Xuan was moved in his heart, "Deputy Ambassador Liao has only been around for a few years, and no matter how many good names he has, it is useless. In this case, it is better to leave it to me."
Otherwise, how could he be the deputy envoy?
Liu Qing nodded, "More importantly, Deputy Liao nodded, which is recognition. What do you think?"
He stopped and looked sideways at Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan said calmly: "My husband commanded this battle superbly and took the lead. Secondly, it's me. I can feel at ease with this credit!"
Liu Qing sighed, "I thought you would be humble!"
Yang Xuan said: "I used to be just a small tree. It was you and Mr. Huang who helped me up little by little. I also want to be humble, but..."
But what? Liu Qing was curious.
"But after the victory in this battle, I am like a firefly in the dark night. Even if I want to keep a low profile, it can't!"
Snap!
Liu Qing slapped him with an iron palm, "Shameless!"
But in a flash he laughed again, "Your performance on the left wing in this battle is shocking, yes! You are a firefly, and you are also an important minister of one side. An important minister of one side must have the majesty it deserves!"
When they arrived at the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, Yang Xuan entered, and the disciples were obviously much more respectful.
"I've seen the envoy!"
Look, even the word Yang is omitted.
Yang Xuan nodded.
Entering the lobby, Huang Chunhui, dressed in plain clothes, was still sitting there.
"Coming."
"yes."
Liao Jin glanced at him and said, "My husband is waiting for you. You are here. Prepare to leave today."
"That's fine." Yang Xuan sat down.
Huang Chunhui's family members are all in Chang'an. The longer he stays in northern Xinjiang, the greater the trouble will be.
Moreover, the longer you stay, the more reluctant you are to leave.
This is when a break is needed.
"Yeah! It's time to go!"
Huang Chunhui looked at the lobby, stretched out his hand to touch the eucalyptus table, pressed the eucalyptus table, and stood up with difficulty.
No one helped him!
Just watch him stand up slowly and turn his eyes.
"It's time to go!"
Huang Chunhui walked toward the door step by step.
Yang Xuan was worried that he would look back.
Once you see it, you will be reluctant to part with it.
As people get older, the more emotions they have, the worse they become.
Huang Chunhui stopped, turned around, and walked back.
"I almost forgot something." Huang Chunhui walked to the cabinet, took out the key, opened the copper lock, and opened the cabinet door.
What?
Yang Xuan was a little curious.
Huang Chunhui stepped away and pointed to the cabinet, "This is the money I have received in northern Xinjiang for many years. I have exchanged it for gold and silver and put it inside. Lao Liao, go back and exchange the money for food and distribute it."
"Ms. sir!"
No one expected that there was gold and silver in the cabinet.
When it was first brought up, the cabinet was empty...no one knew when it would be filled with gold and silver.
"I have been in Northern Xinjiang for many years and have been supported by the people of Northern Xinjiang. I have also received many rewards for many years. I have some fields at home and I will never die of hunger."
He just left.
Yang Xuan followed behind.
A cabinet of gold and silver was placed there, and the cabinet door was polished by his back.
"Don't tell them!"
Huang Chunhui shook his head.
As if he were traveling, he mounted his horse and walked slowly along.
He looked around and said curiously from time to time: "A new shop has opened here. It sells fruits. It seems that the business is good."
Until they left the city gate.
He spurred his horse and turned around, "Go back!"
Liao Jin bowed with the officials.
"Congratulations to your husband!"
The sergeants at the top of the city stood upright, their spears like a forest.
They looked down and realized that Huang Chunhui was leaving.
Suddenly, the dense forest bowed its head.
"Congratulations to your husband!"
The people in the city were startled by the sound.
Everyone turned to the city gate. Some people were running, and more people lowered their heads.
"Congratulations to your husband!"
In the late autumn of the ninth year of Daqian.
Accompanied by fallen leaves.
Huang Chunhui left Beijiang, where he had worked for many years.
…
The horses and carriages were racing, and the soldiers of the Northern Liao Dynasty returning north were listless.
Even the most lively people were silent at this moment, as if all their strength had been exhausted in that battle.
"How is your Majesty?"
Chen Fangli hurriedly came to find Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua glanced at the carriage and said, "Since yesterday, Your Majesty has been eating less and less."
"Are you feeling depressed?" Chen Fangli asked.
Xiao Hua shook his head.
"Ask!" Chen Fangli said worriedly.
"Later."
In the afternoon, the army camped, and Xiao Hua stood beside the carriage... Now the carriage is the emperor's palace, where he eats and sleeps.
"His Majesty!"
"Um!"
The car curtain opened, and the emperor's somewhat thin face was revealed.
He glanced at Lin Ya from the side.
This battle was a huge defeat, and Lin Ya could not escape the blame!
Of course, Lin Ya also said that the sword formation Yang Xuan used at that time was extremely sharp and irresistible.
The emperor didn't touch him!
If we win this battle, it's easy to say, but if we lose, once we take action, the interior of Daliao will collapse.
At this time, the only option is to work together in harmony.
Lin Ya nodded slightly and led the people to the other side.
The emperor said: "I come down for a walk."
He got off the carriage and moved his legs and feet, "I feel very comfortable."
"Your Majesty should go out and walk more." Xiao Hua was not blamed, but the guilt was like ants, gnawing at his heart.
"I don't blame you for this battle! I also underestimated Huang Chunhui." The emperor walked slowly, and the soldiers all bowed their heads when they saw him, but it was not in awe, but in fear.
"Send fast horses to Ningxing again."
He Lianhong, who was following behind, agreed and immediately went to make arrangements.
I rode quickly to Ningxing to inform the Emperor Taishu of the martial law, and to assemble the troops and prepare for contingency.
"If we win this battle, Huang Chunhui cannot be retained." The emperor looked south with his hands behind his hands, "If he still dares to stay in northern Xinjiang, he will either rebel or wait for death.
Liao Jin will be promoted to the top. I have thought about this person. He has the ability, but he is more of a general. He is not even handsome. It is a pity."
Xiao Hua knew what the emperor meant. It was a pity that Huang Chunhui left late.
If this battle was commanded by Liao Jin, it would be difficult for Northern Xinjiang to win.
This is all life!
"Liao Jin can't hold on for a few more years. Who will follow... I can't guess."
"Huang Chunhui recommended Yang Xuan."
"His recommendation is a recommendation. Whether Chang'an agrees is another matter. And I don't think Li Mi will agree. He is old and is afraid of young ministers."
"What your Majesty said is true. If a mediocre person comes to Northern Xinjiang after Liao Jin, Daliao will have an opportunity."
"Opportunities often also hide crises." The emperor said softly: "However, the East Palace is stable, so I am not worried."
The emperor relaxed for a while and returned to the carriage.
Not long after, he sent someone to urge him, "Has Ning Xing's letter arrived?"
He Lianhong said: "There is still no letter from the Emperor's uncle."
"Your Majesty is asking about the princess's letter."
"Princess?"
"yes."
Since setting off from Ningxing, every few days, the Eagle Guards would come to report the news and send memorials, and they would bring letters from Ningxing, among which there must be letters from Changling.
"Two more days."
"Your Majesty said, destroy!"
The waiter looked solemn.
"yes."
Helian Hong ordered his horse to rush to meet him.
She found Xiao Hua.
"Your Majesty, things have not been right these days."
Xiao Hua stood in the night, the autumn wind was bleak, and his expression became even more bleak, "Your Majesty is not well. If you don't come, I also want to look for you."
"What do you mean?" Helian's beautiful eyes moved slightly.
"Recently, I've been keeping an eye on Lin Ya and others. If anything happens, I don't need to ask for permission, just take action!"
"You...are overstepping your bounds!"
Xiao Hua looked at her and smiled, "You know, I can't possibly..."
Helian Hong's body shook.
"how long?"
"We can get to Ningxing."
"good!"
Xiao Hua immediately went to the carriage.
"I informed He Lianhong."
"Um!"
The emperor was reading a book, looking calm in the flickering candlelight.
"Your Majesty." Xiao Hua lowered his head, "Do you want a doctor?"
"No need. I have been ordered by Heaven, and only God can take away my people. God takes people away, who can stop me? Go ahead!"
The emperor's cultivation level is good, so Xiao Hua doesn't think the problem is big.
The same is true for Lin Ya.
The next day, the emperor even rode on horseback to appease the soldiers.
"Next time, Northern Xinjiang will tremble under the hooves of your waiting horses!"
The emperor promised to provide preferential compensation to the soldiers who died in the battle, and morale finally improved.
"Da Liao still has great potential."
The emperor was in a good mood and rode his horses to a hillside with his ministers, looking into the distance.
There is a forest in the distance. The leaves are golden at the moment and bathed in the sun, making it look like a fairyland.
"Go and have a look."
The emperor took his ministers to the woods.
"It's very beautiful. If Changling were there, he would definitely be able to compose poems." The emperor patted the tree trunk, and the leaves fell. He stretched out his hand to catch one, but it slipped from the edge of his palm.
He leaned against the tree trunk and slowly slid down.
"His Majesty!"
Xiao Hua was the first to rush over and support the emperor.
The emperor paused for a moment, shook his head vigorously, and said with a smile: "I haven't slept well these past few days, and I'm a little dizzy. It's okay!"
Blood slowly flowed from his nostrils.
"Your Majesty, come back!" He Lianhong knelt down.
"Look again." The emperor skillfully took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood, took a look, stood up and walked outside the woods, turned around and looked at the golden ones, and praised: "It's a pity that Changling is not here!"
He Lianhong turned around, his eyes seemed to be filled with fire, "Go quickly, even if the troops are exhausted, we still have to bring the princess's letter. The sooner the better!"
"Take orders!"
The best players of the Eagle Guard set off.
The emperor mounted his horse and seemed to be in good spirits.
When he returned to the carriage, he leaned against the wall and smiled, "Let Lin Ya come."
Lin Ya is here.
"His Majesty."
He looked at this old enemy with mixed feelings.
"For many years, your existence has prevented me from fulfilling my ambitions. I finally went on an expedition and lost. I don't think about it. Is it God's will or something else? I just want you to come and just say, be quiet, okay?"
Lin Ya lowered her head, "Okay!"
The emperor waved his hand.
Lin Ya resigned.
After I left, people around me rushed over.
Lin Ya shook her head and went to a remote place and said, "The emperor is in big trouble."
"Isn't that our opportunity?"
idiot!
Lin Ya pointed around, "Xiao Hua has always been in control of the army... You know, what crime should he deserve for the defeat in this battle? But the emperor let him go easily. This is not his temper. There is only one possibility. The emperor needs
Xiao Hua is here to do something. I think he just wants to suppress us."
"The emperor will not die, right?" Someone raised this speculation.
Lin Ya was silent for a long time and said: "He said, let me be quiet. This is unknown."
"Xiang Lin, what an opportunity!"
Lin Ya shook her head, "Our troops have suffered too many losses this time, especially the Yunshan Cavalry."
If Yunshan Cavalry was still intact, he would be sure of a surprise attack.
but……
"Yang Gou!"
Someone said through gritted teeth.
Lin Ya lowered her voice, "I am now wondering whether the emperor's body broke before departure or after departure. If it was before departure, then his expedition was a last resort, otherwise he would never have another chance."
An official trembled and said, "Mr. Lin..."
"Have you thought of it?" Lin Ya smiled, "The deposed prince has been poisoned, and the poison has been spreading, and he can't suppress it. If he knew that he was not going to die soon, then this battle was the overall situation he had planned before he left.
This battle was won, and the emperor died... no, he was assassinated by me and others."
Everyone was trembling.
Lin Ya's voice floated in the autumn wind.
"At that time, the officers and men in the army, and even the officers under our command, will be filled with grief and anger.
Xiao Hua leads the army to attack, and we are left alone.
He Lianfeng used his own life to lay out a plan that would leave me waiting to die without a place to die!"
He admitted that he had despised the emperor!
In the carriage, the emperor dropped the book in his hand and said with a smile: "What a pity."
He rubbed his eyes and picked up the book again, but he saw that the words were a bit blurry.
In his body, those toxins were like the most cunning poisonous snakes, passing through his weakened inner breath.
He raised his head and smiled bitterly, "You traitor!"
Outside, the army is marching.
The emperor leaned against the wall of the carriage and said, "Here comes someone!"
A chamberlain came in.
"His Majesty."
The emperor raised his head, his eyes calm but unfocused.
"Let them all come."
The chamberlain went out and said, "Your Majesty summons all the ministers."
The ministers have arrived.
Xiao Hua didn't come.
He looked at the carriage from horseback.
The car curtain opened, revealing the emperor's thin face to everyone's eyes.
"I have been ill for a long time."
Everyone knelt down.
"The defeat of this battle has no one's business."
Someone is choking.
"Your Majesty has mercy!"
This means that we are not prepared to pursue accountability.
"Since I ascended the throne..."
The emperor spoke very slowly, detailing the major events since he ascended the throne.
Working hard, does it count?
"...After I leave, the army will be led by Xiao Hua. He Lianhong."
"His Majesty!"
Helian Hongkou stepped forward.
"Tell Donggong that I will watch over him and I will watch over you!"
Once the emperor and his ministers, the spy leader would end badly when the throne changes.
The emperor's words were intended to preserve Helian Hong.
"Your Majesty!" He Lianhong lowered his head, tears falling.
"Tell Donggong to work hard and conquer the south!"
After all, the emperor was still very upset about the defeat in this battle.
If you can't do it yourself, then the heir will come again!
This is what everyone thinks.
The emperor said: "The Tang Dynasty is a huge thing. If you don't move it, slow down and it will move you!"
After he finished explaining, he slowly lay down.
"His Majesty!"
Everyone got up and came over.
The emperor's eyes were closed, "Is the letter here?"
He Lianhong turned around and said, "Go!"
The bodies of several good players flashed, and their inner breath was activated without hesitation, and they flew away quickly.
The emperor was carried inside, "a little bored."
The car curtain was opened.
"Letter!" The emperor looked sideways outside.
"Your Majesty, the letter has arrived."
An Eagle Guard master flew over, his whole body covered in sweat.
He Lianhong took the letter and said, "Your Majesty, there is a letter from the emperor's uncle and the princess."
"Read it!" the emperor said softly.
"Uncle Emperor..."
The emperor hummed, "Changling."
He Lianfeng opened Changling's letter.
"Father, seeing a letter is like seeing you in person."
"The autumn in Ningxing looks beautiful. Last time you said there were many fruits in autumn, so I prepared a lot for you and hid them in the cellar..."
The corners of the emperor's mouth raised slightly, and he slowly raised his hand, "She likes to do this."
He Lianhong glanced at him and said, "I have recently learned to cook some dishes and composed some poems. The dishes are waiting for you to come back and taste them. Don't say you are not good at it..."
He Lianhong heard muffled crying from behind.
She looked up.
The corners of the emperor's mouth were still slightly raised.
The hand that was just raised fell down gently but feebly.
She lowered her head and said, "The poems I wrote are waiting for you to come back and appreciate them. However, father, you are not allowed to use any kind of gold and iron to measure my poems, otherwise it will be fraud..."
She couldn't see the words clearly. Each word seemed to have become bigger and smaller.
She wiped away her tears and continued reading.
"...As the autumn leaves fell, I looked up and thought, Father, when will you come back?"
