Chapter 106: The imperial decree of King An

In the Le Dynasty, in the palace of Thang Long Palace.

Li Weining was covered in cold sweat and woke up suddenly from the bed. After being stunned for a moment, a look of panic suddenly appeared on his face, and he stood up and looked around.

There was silence in the empty dormitory, not even a single figure of the palace attendant. Being inside, Li Xing suddenly felt boundless fear in his heart.

He couldn't control his emotions, and shouted at the top of his voice to the outside of the dormitory:

"Come on, come on! Where are all the people dead?"

Hearing the movement in the palace, Li Weining's confidant eunuch Pi Hui immediately opened the door of the palace, hurried to Li Weining's side, fell to his knees on the ground, and replied:

"Your Majesty, the slave is here, the slave is here!"

Behind Pi Hui, Taiwei Chen Feng and Ao Hou Lihu also followed him, walking into the palace together and kneeling down to pay their respects.

"Meet the King!"

Li Weining, who was still in shock, was startled for a moment when he saw the three people coming. Then he looked at the three people expectantly, his lips trembled slightly, and he asked:

"Like, how's it going?"

The three of them looked at each other, bowed and said congratulations:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Although Li Weining had some guesses after meeting the three of them, when he actually learned that he had won, Li Weining's tense body suddenly relaxed.

Li Weining couldn't help but raised his head and laughed twice, then picked up the pillow at hand, threw it at Pi Hui, and laughed and cursed:

"You're a bitch, and you don't know how to take care of yourself!"

Pi Hui was hit by the pillow without any pain and itching, and said with a smile:

"The servants in the palace are still sorting out the selection. The slaves are really worried, so they have to wait in person while handling many affairs with the Taiwei and Aohou outside the palace..."

At this time, the great joy in Li Weining's heart made him support his somewhat weak limbs, stand up somewhat staggeringly, walked to the three of them, helped them up one by one, and said with a smile:

"You must be more polite. You are all Gu's confidants and help Gu regain his power. Gu will never forget each other! From now on, the whole country will rely on you to help Gu govern."

When the three heard this, they quickly lowered their heads and said in unison:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, Li Weining suddenly noticed that there were not many happy and excited expressions on the faces of Xu Ruo, Chen Feng and Li Hu when they heard him.

This made Li Weining slightly stunned and said:

"Lieutenant, Marquis Ao, do you have anything you want to tell me?"

When Chen Feng heard this, his face was a little gloomy, he cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, Ancestor, Li Xing was taken away by the Yun people!"

Hearing this, Li Weining was stunned for a moment. He thought he heard something wrong and asked again:

"What?"

"Your Majesty, Li Xing was taken away!" Li Hu said solemnly.

One sentence was like a bolt from the blue, causing Li Weining to stand on the spot.

His body swayed, and it took him a long time to react. He was extremely shocked and angry, and shouted:

"Did the Yun people take him away? How did they take him away? Why didn't you stop him?"

Although Li Weining hoped that the ancestor Li Xing would die, before he died, he also wanted to find out from Li Xing's hands how to use the power of national destiny to strengthen himself and extend his life for six hundred years.

He had spent a huge price before, even deliberately leaking information, which resulted in the defeat of Yun and Li in the national war, and the loss of all the sacred lands of the four northern states of Li Dynasty.

The reason why he dared to do this was because he felt that as long as he got the method of using the power of national destiny in Li Xing's hands, he could use it to train elite soldiers, revive the country's power, and finally achieve his ambition to dominate.

And the means of extending one's life by six hundred years is what any king would like to get!

But now, Li Xing is not dead, but has fallen into the hands of the Yun people. The mysterious secret method is also very likely to fall into the hands of Xiao Cheng.

In this situation, for Li Weining, it would be better to just let Li Xing die!

Chen Feng looked unhappy and said in a deep voice:

"The Yun Kingdom did not just send two masters. Emperor Yun secretly ordered to send Nan Jiyun, a master of the Yun Kingdom's forbidden army, to lead more than a hundred elite riders into our country. Also coming with him was Xu Su, the leader of the Yin Yang Family.

.”

Li Hu, who was on the side, sighed softly and then said:

"The master of the Yin-Yang family, Xu Su, is also a master of the realm of land gods. In addition, there are three ninth-level masters, Xiao, Duan, and Nan, and more than a hundred elite cavalry. We were unable to stop him at that time!"

Last night, Li Weining seized power and removed Li Xing's gang members. These people all held real power. They all died overnight, causing chaos in all the yamen in Shenglong Mansion. Chen Feng and Li Hu could not be mobilized at that time.

Soldiers and horses from inside and outside blocked it.

Besides, even if all the soldiers and horses can be mobilized, the Yun Kingdom's lineup of one land fairy realm master, three ninth-level masters, and more than a hundred cavalry is enough to kill them openly.

The joy in Li Weining's heart just now turned into frustration and depression. He didn't know where to vent it, so he could only be helpless and furious, and cursed angrily:

"Damn it, damn it! Pi Hui, what do your school officials do for a living? Such a team of people sneaked in and didn't receive any news at all. What's the use of raising you all alone?"

After planning for a long time, in the end, the biggest fruit was actually swallowed by Xiao Cheng. At this time, Li Weining was going crazy!

Seeing that Li Weining was extremely angry, Pi Hui quickly knelt down on the ground with a bang, kowtowed, and said with a hint of crying:

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down! All the energy of the school officials is at the ancestral temple, and there is really not enough manpower... Please calm down, Your Majesty!"

Chen Feng, who was on the side, frowned slightly and couldn't help but exhorted:

"Your Majesty, there are only a hundred people in the Yun Kingdom. These people can sneak into the country by just thinking of any way. There is no way to stop them!"

Li Weining's previous situation was just a little better than that of a puppet. In order not to attract Li Xing's attention, the school officials under him naturally did not dare to expand their manpower arbitrarily, so it was impossible to monitor everyone in the Li Dynasty.

Moreover, there are only over a hundred men and horses from the Yun Kingdom, who can come in in two or three groups casually in the name of a caravan. It is impossible to stop them!

After hearing Chen Feng's advice, Li Weining took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said:

"Has the ancestral temple been sealed off?"

At this time, Pi Hui, whose forehead was already bruised, heard this and quickly raised his head and said:

"Back to the king, it has been sealed. No one has entered the secret room. The people from the Yun Kingdom also wanted to enter last night, but they were stopped by the slaves."

After all, they were in Shenglong Mansion, and Nan Jiyun and the others obviously didn't dare to stay too long. Anyway, Li Xing was already in hand, so naturally they didn't need to worry about other things.

Li Weining's limbs were a little weak, and he staggered back a few steps, sitting back on the bed, panting and speechless.

Seeing this, Li Hu took a step forward and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, calm down! The imperial doctor has examined and treated you. What happened last night has caused considerable damage to your body. This is the time when you need to calm down and recuperate, and you should not let your heart get angry."

I don’t know if it’s because the Li Dynasty’s national fortune was suddenly lost too much and it was directly fed back to Li Weining. Or it’s because of Li Xing’s method of forcibly extracting the national fortune.

Anyway, after the diagnosis by Li Chao's imperial doctor, Li Weining's body had suffered a lot of damage and he needed to calm down and recuperate.

At this point, Li Weining reacted and said urgently:

"What else happened last night, tell me clearly!"

When the three heard this, they immediately told what happened after he was caught by Li Xing last night.

When he heard that Li Xing had not only broken through to the realm of land gods with the help of national luck, but also successfully rejuvenated his youth and regained his youthful body, Li Weining's eyes lit up at first, and then he became angry again.

If Xiao Cheng hadn't intervened, he would have obtained all of these immortal means. With these means, he was not unable to revitalize the country and complete the grand plan in his heart!

"Go, select die-hard men, and send everything in the secret room of the ancestral temple to the palace!"

Now Li Weining only hopes that Li Xing can leave those secrets in the secret room!

Pihui didn't dare to delay and said quickly:

"yes!"

After saying that, Li Weining waved his hand and motioned for all three of them to leave, wanting to be alone for a while.

But the three of them stood motionless, with hesitant and confused expressions on their faces.

Seeing the appearance of the three people, Li Weining's heart skipped a beat and said:

"What else?"

Li Hu gritted his teeth, stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, the canonization decree from Yun Kingdom has arrived this morning!"

Li Weining was stunned and asked subconsciously:

"What canonization decree?"

"Add, ennoble the king, it is the imperial edict of King Dayun Guoan, and grant court uniforms and ceremonial guards..."

Li Weining was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red and he said angrily:

"That's too much!"

Before the two countries of Yun and Xia, the status of the Li Dynasty was lower. The kings of the past dynasties could only call themselves kings. Even in written and spoken language, they only called the Li Dynasty, but not the official country name of the Li Dynasty, Da'an Shangguo.

But even so, the Li Dynasty is an independent country no matter where it comes from. There has never been a king in the past who would accept the imperial decree of canonization from the emperor of another country.

And now that Xiao Cheng has issued an imperial edict, the Li Dynasty will be directly classified as a vassal state of the Yun State. From now on, when other countries call the Li Dynasty, they will have to use "Dayun belongs to the Anguo".

First he took Li Xing away, and then he directly sent such an imperial edict. No wonder Li Weining scolded Xiao Cheng for being too deceitful!

"Drive out the envoys of the Yun Kingdom!" Li Weining said angrily.

Hearing Li Weining's words, Li Hu looked ugly, shook his head slightly and sighed:

"The envoy from the Kingdom of Yun is holding the letter sent by the king earlier."

With one sentence, everything Li Weining wanted to say suddenly got stuck in his throat.

In order to ask Xiao Cheng to send experts to help him eradicate Li Xing, he asked Li Hu, who was a disciple of Yun State, to send him a letter.

In that letter, in order to express his sincerity, he was extremely flattering. He promised that after that, the whole country would come to surrender and rule the south forever for the Yun Kingdom, and would never rebel again for generations to come.

When Li Weining heard this, he gritted his teeth and said angrily:

"It's just an empty promise, just don't keep it!"

In fact, if everything goes as smoothly as Li Weining planned, and he can obtain the secret magic in Li Xing's hands, then he will surrender.

I'm going to stand up to the sky, but I just have to endure it for a few more years, and after I have accumulated strength, I can then raise my troops to attack Yun, and wash away my previous shame.

But now, even though he has regained his power, the most important person, Li Xing, was forcibly taken away by Yun Guo.

Just like that, he still wanted to make him bow his head, surrender, and pay tribute. Li Weining really couldn't bear this tone in his heart.

Chen Feng next to him had a heavy face and said:

"There is also an urgent report just sent from the border. In the military camp of Xiushan County of Yun State, troops and horses are being mobilized frequently. General Yang Dayan is training his troops day and night. The momentum is astonishing, and he looks like he is knocking on the pass to invade our country..."

The mobilization of troops and horses in the south of the Yun Kingdom occurred when the envoys of the Yun Kingdom sent the imperial edict of canonization. Obviously, there is no need to say more about its profound meaning.

One sentence was like a basin of cold water pouring down on Li Weining's head.

Li Weining was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched, his whole body trembled, and his face turned sickly red.

"Damn it! How dare the young emperor of Yun State bully me like this..."

Halfway through the words, there was only a "pop" sound. Li Weining was so furious that he spat out a mouthful of blood. Then his vision went black and his body suddenly collapsed.

When Chen Feng and the others saw this, they suddenly panicked and rushed forward, saying anxiously:

"Your Majesty!"

"Hurry and send the imperial doctor!"

--------------------------

Jianchang Prefecture, Yun State, in Changning County.

Hai Rui was escorted by the accompanying officers and walked straight into the county government office.

When the officials in the county government saw the censor, who had a solemn face and a thin body, staring at his solemn and cold eyes, their hearts skipped a beat, and they all saluted in unison:

"I've met the Censor!"

At this time, Hai Rui didn't pay attention to these ordinary officials at all, and walked quickly to the county government hall with the uneasy eyes of all the officials.

Monk Dao Yan looked at the menacing Hai Rui, paused slightly with the pen in his hand for reviewing official documents, and immediately said to the officials:

"You all go down, I have something to discuss with Mr. Hai."

When everyone heard this, they felt relieved and quickly put down their affairs, stood up, bowed and left.

Hai Rui's eyes moved and he said to the attendant beside him:

"You guys can go down too!"

Hearing this, Zhang Tang raised his head and looked at Dao Yan, who was wearing a black monk's robe. He didn't look like a good person, but he couldn't help but whisper:

"Sir, this is inappropriate..."

Upon hearing this, Hai Rui continued to wave his hands and said:

"Go down, it's okay!"

Seeing Hai Rui's insistence, Zhang Tang felt helpless and had to lead a group of Sui Xin guards to guard the door.

Dao Yan smiled slightly, stood up, gave a namaste to Hai Rui, and said:

"Master Hai, if you have anything you want to ask, the poor monk will tell you everything!"

Hai Rui's face became solemn and he said coldly:

"Do you know what the refugees in the city are eating?"

Dao Yan lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice:

"You know, bran is mostly used to feed livestock."

Hearing this, Hai Rui suddenly flashed an angry look on his face and said:

"Why did the rice grains prepared by the imperial court become these things?"

"Although bran is not good, if you ask for this, you can send more food than rice and save more refugees!"

Hai Rui's eyes flashed and he continued:

"Why? The rice grain allocated by the court is definitely enough, so why do you need these things to fool the people?"

Dao Yan looked calm and said calmly:

"Master Hai, you are asking this question knowingly. Naturally, there is a big rat at work and you are profiting from it!"

Hai Rui looked at Dao Yan's appearance, his face became even more angry, he gritted his teeth and said:

"In vain, I thought that you were a virtuous and eminent monk who stepped forward when the people in the city were in danger. But I didn't expect that you were also a person who colluded with Shuo Shu, and you were so confident. It is really shameful and hateful!"

Facing Hai Rui's accusation, Dao Yan suddenly chuckled, shook his head and said:

"Okay, Mr. Hai, there is no need to test the poor monk like this. The informants here have also been kicked out!"

After hearing Dao Yan's words, Hai Rui, who had been full of anger and indignation just now, suddenly changed his expression and became calmer, saying:

"Master, you are confident. You are not afraid that I will directly accuse you without conducting a detailed investigation?"

Dao Yan laughed loudly and said:

"If that's the case, why would you let your subordinates go out?"

Hai Rui's appearance just now was both a test and a display for some people in the county government.

Hai Rui has been in the city for some time. During this period of investigation, he has never encountered anyone blocking him or covering up the situation in the city.

Although the refugees eat bran that is difficult to eat and cannot fill their stomachs every day, few of the nearly one million refugees starved to death after months of sealing the city. Now that there is a cure for the plague, the atmosphere in the city has obviously disappeared.

The initial despair.

Everything is getting better.

This is much better than what Hai Rui imagined he would encounter before he came!

In addition, Hai Rui also met Ji Xu when he entered the city to investigate. Ji Xu's words hinted that he came to find Dao Yan.

That's why Hai Rui came to the county government today to question him.

At this time, Daoyan put his hands together and said with a smile on his face:

"I would like to ask Mr. Hai to allow me to explain all of them to this poor monk!"

Upon hearing this, Hai Rui nodded immediately.
