Gao Feng said: "Your Majesty, we will protect you and fight out!" Li Qingxia held Gao Feng's shoulders, shook her head and said, "No need, the other side is well prepared. We can't rush out, so why make unnecessary sacrifices!"
"The princess is indeed wise!" A triumphant voice suddenly came from outside the back door. Li Qingxia followed the sound and saw a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes coming in surrounded by people. That woman was the late Emperor Lan's concubine Li Ruolan.
When Li Qingxia saw Concubine Lan, she was surprised, but when she saw the two men beside Concubine Lan, she understood everything.
Li Qingxia looked at the two men and said sarcastically: "Prime Minister Zuo, Prime Minister Right, you have made great achievements in supporting me again!" It turned out that the two men following Concubine Lan were one of them, Prime Minister Zuo Li Tongren.
The other one is Prime Minister You Daochong. When these two people appear here, the situation becomes clearer.
Li Tongren did not dare to make eye contact with Li Qingxia and lowered his head, while Aodaochong said righteously and solemnly: "We are all for the survival of Daxia! Your Majesty is so aggressive that this catastrophe has happened. For the sake of Daxia,
We will only offend the people of Xia and Daxia!"
Gao Feng glared and shouted: "Rebellion!" Odaochong ignored Gao Feng, looked at Li Qingxia and asked: "Your Majesty, are you going to abdicate yourself, or do you want us to do it?"
Gao Feng excitedly said to Li Qingxia: "Your Majesty, I will fight to the death to protect your Majesty from the siege!" Li Qingxia said blankly: "What will happen after we get out? Hey, now that things have happened, why bother killing each other anymore! I'm tired too.
It's okay if you don't want to be the emperor anymore!" He looked at Ao Daochong and others and said, "Now that things have happened, I have nothing to say. I just hope that you will let go of the guards and maids around me!" Ao Daochong said.
: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we are making this move solely for the sake of Daxia, so naturally we won't do more killings! It would be great if Your Majesty is willing to give up the throne!" Li Qingxia said to everyone around her: "Put down your weapons!"
Everyone was extremely sad and angry, and threw away their weapons one after another.
Odaochong raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty, please return to the palace!" The rebels immediately stepped forward, separated Li Qingxia from her guards and maids, and escorted Li Qingxia to the palace alone.
The fighting quickly calmed down, and the rebels took complete control of the palace. Li Qingxia sat in the palace, staring at the beautiful night scene outside the window of the Moon Cave, completely losing her usual spirit, as if she had no soul. There were only two
A palace maid stood nearby, while the others were locked up elsewhere.
The door creaked, and the two palace maids looked towards the door in panic, but Li Qingxia didn't show any reaction. For her, there was nothing worthy of her concern or fear. The sound of footsteps came from afar.
Nearby, he stopped and only heard the voices of Ao Daochong and Li Tongren: "Your Royal Highness!" Li Qingxia slowly turned her head and saw the two people bowing and saluting, and said sarcastically: "I am now a prisoner.
, why do you two need to be so polite!"
Li Tongren was so ashamed that he said: "I will never betray your majesty, but for the safety of Daxia and the well-being of the people, I have to do this!" Aodaochong said proudly: "Yes, we will do it though.
I am disrespectful to Your Majesty, I am ashamed of Your Majesty, but I have a clear conscience!"
Li Qingxia laughed mockingly, glanced at the two of them, and said: "You think it's because of me that the peace talks couldn't proceed, because Yang Peng hated me, so he wanted to carry out the war to the end. But now Daxia has suffered heavy losses and the morale of the military is shaken.
The building is about to collapse, and it is obvious that it is no longer able to resist Yan Yun. You think that Daxia and you yourself can only survive this crisis by asking for peace, and to ask for peace, you must first resolve the anger of King Yan, and to resolve
The anger of King Yan should undoubtedly push me down and then sacrifice me to King Yan!"
Odao rushed: "Your Majesty is wise, that is true! Didn't your Majesty say that the king will die in the country? In today's situation, only your Majesty can save the whole of Great Xia by sacrificing yourself. Why should your Majesty be resentful!"
Li Qingxia turned her head and looked out the window, with a sad look on her face, and murmured: "If sacrificing me alone can really save Daxia, I wouldn't regret it! But you are too naive, too naive! King Yan, the world's most powerful man,
That is a character that is rare to see in hundreds of years!" He turned around, looked at the two men, and said mockingly: "Do you think that such a character would raise an army because of one person, and then stop the army because of one person?
"
The two prime ministers looked at each other, and both couldn't help but feel that what Li Qingxia said was reasonable. However, such thoughts only flashed in their hearts, and they did not want to believe that they were already at the end of their rope. Ao Dao snorted and said loudly: "
We have no enmity with King Yan, so why does he have to destroy us, Daxia! The reason why we are in this situation is not because you offended King Yan! As long as you are dedicated to King Yan, the peace agreement will be successful.
!”
Li Qingxia showed a wry smile, sighed, and suddenly asked: "Is the Generalissimo really dead?" Li Tongren sighed and said: "That is not our expectation, it's just that the Generalissimo refused to obey, and we didn't
The only way is..." Li Qingxia was filled with grief and anger. She stopped looking at the two of them and said coldly: "I'm tired, you go out!"
Ao Daochong snorted and turned around. Li Tongren bowed respectfully to Li Qingxia and retreated. The palace became quiet, and Li Qingxia suddenly felt extremely lonely. She couldn't help but feel sad and shed tears.
Overflowing eyes...
Li Tongren rushed to the front hall with the help of Dao Dao. At this time, Li Ruolan and his father Li Shicheng were sitting in the hall chatting. Next to them stood a middle-aged woman holding a two or three-year-old baby. The baby was already asleep and fat.
The appearance is very cute.
When the father and daughter saw the two prime ministers coming, they immediately stopped talking and stood up. Li Ruolan asked: "Have you talked to her? Is she willing to go?" Li Tongren sighed and said: "Your Majesty is extremely wise.
, has already guessed our intention." Ao Daochong snorted and said: "It's not up to her whether she goes or not! She can go if she wants to, and she has to go if she doesn't want to!" Li Ruolan nodded with deep understanding and gloated:
"She is just a prisoner of the rank now. It is her turn to decide whether she is willing or not!" Then he said impatiently: "Since the rebellion has been eliminated, it is time to help the new emperor ascend the throne as soon as possible!" Li Tongren glanced at the middle-aged woman.
The baby in his hand frowned. He felt that Daxia was facing the biggest crisis in a century. Only a talented and sage leader could lead everyone to overcome this crisis. However, the one who was about to become emperor was such an infant.
The baby; the mediator rushed: "We will announce this matter tomorrow morning at court!" He paused, frowned and said: "The top priority now is to send someone to send Li Qingxia to King Yan to ask for peace! This is the only thing we can do.
Once we get down, we can sit back and relax!"
Li Qingxia glanced at her father Li Shicheng and said, "My father and I were discussing this matter just now. My father has some relations with Yanyun. It is more appropriate for my father to be this envoy!"
Ao Daochong glanced at Li Shicheng, nodded and said: "If the abbot is willing to take on this important task, then there is nothing better than the abbot Lao!" Li Shicheng quickly returned the gift: "Prime Minister, you are welcome, we are all doing it for the country.
!" There was a sense of righteousness and awe in his words...
O Daochong, Li Tongren, and Li Shicheng went down to prepare for the morning meeting and the mission the next day. Li Ruolan came to Li Qingxia's palace. She wanted to see Li Qingxia, the woman who had been defeated by her.
What will she look like when she comes to her? She must be very angry, or she may cry and beg him to let her go! Li Ruolan couldn't help laughing when she thought of her pride.
His eyes fell on Li Qingxia, and he saw Li Qingxia sitting in front of the moon cave window, with her back to this side, looking out the window in a daze. Li Ruolan smiled slightly, walked straight up, and stopped not far behind Li Qingxia, smiling
She said: "Princess is so elegant, she is still in the mood to watch the night!" Li Qingxia turned around, glanced at Li Ruolan, and said calmly: "I really underestimated you, I didn't expect you to be able to plan such a mutiny.
!" Li Ruolan walked up to Li Qingxia, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "This is called the right person getting more help, and the unscrupulous person having few help. God and the people are on my side, and this victory is just a natural result.
!”
Li Qingxia looked at Li Ruolan carefully, and Li Ruolan asked proudly: "What, don't you know each other?" Li Qingxia turned to look out the window and said calmly: "You are indeed very good at conspiracy, but this is the way between countries.
It's useless!" Li Ruolan's face turned cold and she said angrily: "You are already a prisoner, so don't worry about it! I know how to deal with strong people better than you!" She glanced at Li Qingxia with contempt.
He glanced at it and said: "You are just trying to be strong, and in the end you can only harm others and yourself! I am different from you. I understand the difference between strong and weak, and how to survive as a weakling!..."
Li Qingxia mocked: "Your way of survival is nothing more than wagging your tail and begging for mercy!" Li Ruolan's expression changed and she said angrily: "You are really stubborn! You have reached this stage and you still have a hard mouth!"
Li Qingxia was about to retort, but then she thought of the current situation and couldn't help but swallow the words on her lips, and said seriously: "Ms. Lan Fei, since you have won the power, I don't want to say anything else! I just want to
I want to remind you that you must not have any illusions about King Yan! He is a tycoon that has never appeared in hundreds of years. Such a figure will never give up his dominance of the world for a small profit! Not only will he destroy
Xia is his goal, destroying Liao, destroying Tubo, destroying Dali, and destroying Song are all his goals. He wants to unify the world and build an empire comparable to the Han and Tang Dynasties!!"
Li Ruolan was startled, and then she snorted coldly and said mockingly: "You are just trying to escape with your life by making such monstrous words! I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible!" Li Qingxia sighed, looked out the window, no
Let's talk again. Seeing this scene, Li Ruolan felt very bored and said angrily: "Look, look, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it tomorrow!"
Li Ruolan walked away with a puff of sleeves. Yang Peng's face could not help but appear in Li Qingxia's mind, and a strange feeling came to her heart. She felt that the compatriots around her were so disgusting, but Yang Peng, who had a life-and-death hatred, gave her a blow.
There was a friendly feeling, just like the boy next door. Li Qingxia came back to her senses and frowned tightly.
That night, Yang Peng led his army to a small town more than 20 miles north of Xingqing Prefecture. Since it was getting late, the army set up camp here. Soon after, smoke from cooking stoves rose slowly inside and outside the town, and there were noisy sounds.
echoed in the night sky; however, in this small town, except for Yanyun soldiers, there was no trace of local people. It turned out that they had fled in panic when they got the news that Yanyun's army was coming.
, this small town has long been turned into an empty town, and now it has become the temporary residence of Yan Yun Army.
In the big tent, Yang Peng was discussing the strategy of attacking Xingqing Mansion with several important generals. Yang Jing shouted loudly: "Brother, I don't think there is anything to discuss. When we attack the city tomorrow, I, Yang Jing, will lead the army to attack the city."
, it won’t take long to capture it! At that time, the Emperor of Xixia and the Prime Minister of Xixia will all be at the discretion of the elder brother!" Everyone laughed, Yang Peng pointed at Yang Jing and said with a smile: Yang Jing is right, it is true.
There is nothing to discuss. The situation at hand is already very clear. We just need to attack the city with all our strength!" The generals nodded in agreement. Yang Jing chuckled and said: "You also said that I, Yang Jing, am not smart. Look, my eldest brother is not.
Have you adopted Yang Jing’s strategy?” Everyone laughed, and Huyan Chijin joked: “That’s right, Yang Jing is definitely the smartest among the cows!”
Yang Jing didn't hear that the other party was making fun of him, and thought he was really praising him. He laughed loudly, and the others also laughed. Yelu Hanyu said to Yang Peng: "Brother, while we are storming the city, we can still do it."
Shoot arrows to disturb the morale of the army!" He frowned and said, "To be honest, I don't think this battle will be easy. Under the leadership of Li Qingxia, the Xixia soldiers and civilians will fight to the death! We will definitely capture Xingqing Mansion.
There is no problem, I just don’t know how many soldiers we will lose!”
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and Yang Peng said: "To win victory, sacrifice is inevitable, so don't worry about it too much! Without sacrifice, there is no victory, and without victory, there is no glory. Therefore, sacrifice is necessary. A country that is afraid of sacrifice
It will never be possible to rise! We don't care about sacrifice, but we must always remember those soldiers who sacrificed for the country!" Everyone couldn't help but nodded, and Yang Jing suddenly shouted: "His grandma, what are you doing if you are afraid of death?
, If his head falls off, it will only be a scar the size of a bowl, and twenty years later he will be a good man again!" Everyone laughed.
A secret guard rushed into the tent and said: "Master, the Xixia envoy is here. Please see me outside the camp gate now!" No one was surprised by this at all. Yang Jing said with a smile: "These guys are probably here.
I was so frightened that I came to ask for peace!"
Yang Peng said to the secret guard: "Bring him in." Yin Sha responded and ran down. Yang Peng returned to his head and sat down, while the generals separated. After a while, he saw the secret guard leading a man with a wretched appearance.
A man came in. It was Li Fulu, Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu who were close confidants of Li Ruolan and his daughter who had been here before. They were slightly surprised and looked at each other.
I saw Li Fulu knelt down and bowed and said: "Little man Li Fulu pays homage to His Royal Highness King Yan!" Logically speaking, a country's envoys should not salute others in this way.
Power is the only thing that determines everything. Therefore, as an envoy of a country, it is not surprising that Li Fulu paid homage to Yang Peng in this way.
Yang Peng glanced at Li Fulu and asked: "Aren't you a close confidant of Li Ruolan and his daughter? How come you have become the envoy of Xixia again?" Li Fulu quickly said: "The King of Yan may not know something, we Daxia have set things right not long ago.
, the false emperor Li Qingxia has stepped down, and the current emperor is supported by the head of state and Concubine Lan!"
Everyone present was very surprised and couldn't help but whisper. Yang Peng smiled and said: "This is a bit unexpected." Li Fulu said: "The emperor and Concubine Lan hope to have a truce with Yan Yun and rebuild their old friendship, and beg King Yan to show mercy.
!”
Yang Peng said calmly: "You are not qualified to talk to me about this." Li Fulu said quickly: "How dare you negotiate with the King of Yan? The emperor is on his way, and he will negotiate with the King of Yan by then. The villain
I just hope that King Yan can postpone the march so that the two sides can hold peace talks."
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Since the emperor has come in person, I will suspend the march." Li Fulu was very happy and said: "Thank you, King Yan!" Then he stood up, bowed and said, "If King Yan has no other instructions,
If so, the villain will go back to his life!" Yang Peng nodded. Li Fulu bowed again and left in a hurry.
Yang Jing, who had long been unable to bear it, said loudly: "Brother, why do you want to negotiate peace with Xixia? Isn't it a good idea to take over Xingqing Mansion in one go?" All the generals also had this idea. Yang Peng smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry,
There's no harm in talking!" Yang Jing wanted to say more, but Shi Ping next to him grabbed Yang Jing and whispered: "The King of Yan has his own plans, Yang Jing, please stop talking!" Yang Jing curled his lips,
But he said nothing more.
After the meeting, Yelu Hanyu and the other three princesses stayed, and everyone else went back to their respective camps. Yang Erya asked curiously: "Brother, do you really want to negotiate peace with Xixia?"
Yang Peng smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be nice to have a talk to see some of the other party's details?" Yang Erya didn't understand that peace talks are peace talks, so what does it mean to see the other party's details? Then he suddenly understood and looked at Yang with a strange look.
Peng glanced at him, as if he was hesitant to speak. Yelu Hanyu saw Yang Erya's expression in his eyes and teased: "Does Erya sister think that the eldest brother is too treacherous?" Yang Erya's face turned red.
, glanced at Yang Peng sheepishly. Yang Peng glared at Yang Erya and said angrily: "Brother, be careful of your family rules when you look at me like that!" As soon as these words came out, the three girls couldn't help but blush, Yelu Hanyu and
Yang Jiumei looked angry, while Yang Erya looked affectionate and shy.
Yang Peng saw that the three women had different styles but were equally attractive. He couldn't help but be wary. He didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and quickly changed the topic. He was afraid that if the flames were stirred up, he would not be able to do anything.
It’s easy to clean up...
One day later, Xixia's peace delegation arrived, and the leader was indeed Li Ruolan's father, Li Shicheng. As soon as Li Shicheng saw Yang Peng, he hurriedly bowed to him, looking very humble, as if he was Yang Peng's subordinate.
He was like a slave. When the powerful generals under Yang Peng saw him like this, they couldn't help but show contempt. Thinking of the Li Tuo who came at the beginning, they wondered why they were both the envoys of Xixia, but why there was such a big difference?
Yang Peng said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite. You should get up and speak." Li Shicheng thanked him quickly and stood up, but he still stood with his head bowed. He only heard him say: "On behalf of the new emperor of our country, I pay tribute to King Yan.
!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Master Li is not an outsider to us, so there is no need to be so polite. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Li Shicheng couldn't help being flattered when he heard that Yang Peng said that he was not an outsider, and said quickly: "I'm here, I hope that we will form an alliance forever! Of course, our country will naturally offer gifts to show our respect for Yan Yun.
Feelings!" He raised his eyes slightly and saw Chen Xiao's expression of interest. He was overjoyed and continued: "Our country is willing to cede the east, south and north of Helan Mountain, except for Xingqing Prefecture, Huaizhou, Jing
Prefecture, all the land except Shun Prefecture, and there is another great gift. I believe King Yan will be very happy after seeing it!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "You have aroused my curiosity. What kind of gift has such great charm?" Yang Jing shouted: "It's his grandma's, so don't show off. I think it's just a few."
It’s just gold and silver treasures, what’s so strange about that!”
Li Shicheng didn't expect that someone would dare to shout in front of King Yan. He was very surprised. He couldn't help but look around and saw that the person speaking was a dark-skinned man with a steel beard on his face. He was very majestic and ferocious. He couldn't help being shocked.
, quickly looked away, calmed down, and said to Yang Peng: "King Yan, please allow me to dedicate this gift to King Yan here!"
Yang Peng nodded. Li Shicheng said: "The gift is in the purple-curtained carriage. Please send someone to get it from King Yan." Yang Peng winked at Wang Kai, who immediately ran out of the tent. Everyone.
The generals began to discuss in a low voice, and they were all very curious about this gift that Xixia was selling off.
After a while, footsteps came from the door, and the buzz of whispers in the big tent immediately disappeared. Everyone looked at the door in unison. Wang Kai came in first, and then saw a few graceful people appear behind him.
The figures came in, and turned out to be three beautiful women. The one being supported among them was especially beautiful. Although she was not as beautiful as Princess Yelu, she was definitely a peerless beauty. Everyone understood immediately and couldn't help but
They secretly thought: 'After all the fuss for a long time, I sent a beautiful woman to King Yan!' Some people even thought: 'I'm afraid this is not a good intention, this is a honey trap!' However, Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu showed surprise.
Because the two recognized the identity of the beautiful woman, it was Li Qingxia who had been on a mission to Tianjing New City and later mutinied and became the Queen of Xixia.
Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu never thought that the other party would actually send their late emperor as a gift, and they were really shocked. Li Qingxia's face was red, and she was ashamed and angry. If it hadn't been for the anesthetic that made her unable to move, she would have been unable to move.
It would be better to die in this big tent than to be humiliated! Yang Peng glanced at Li Shicheng and said with a smile: "This gift is beyond my expectation!"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
