Chapter 45 The heir of the Emperor of the Yun Kingdom, and fueling the flames
The night is deep, the moon is like water, and the Yun Kingdom Palace, which used to be majestic and majestic, symbolizing the authority of the Yun Kingdom royal family and that people dare not explore, has become particularly peaceful at this time.
Outside the Changqiu Palace, Xiao Cheng was dressed in single clothes and only a robe. He walked slowly outside the palace, looking at the bright moon above his head with his hands behind his hands, quietly waiting for the arrival of midnight.
Seeing this, the palace attendant following behind him quickly advised softly:
"Your Majesty, the weather is a little cold, so you should go back to the palace!"
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he sighed softly and said:
"No problem!"
The young man's body is full of vitality. He sleeps peacefully in the palace with a beautiful woman in his arms. He only feels hot and cannot sleep no matter what. He might as well come out and get some fresh air.
"What time is it?" Xiao Cheng suddenly asked.
The palace attendant accompanying him quickly said:
"Return to Your Majesty, it's just past midnight!"
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he nodded and continued to look at the moon above his head in boredom.
Alas, this nightlife is really lacking!
"Your Majesty~"
A delicate and sweet voice came from the door of the back hall.
Her voice was indeed very nice, but her way of speaking, which was pretending to be delicate and elongated the ending of her voice, made Xiao Cheng's body goosebumps.
Although I have not seen him, I have only heard his voice. But there is no other concubine in the palace who can talk like this except Nan Rongshu!
Xiao Cheng sighed softly again, turned around and said:
"Shu'er, how many times have I told you to speak normally!"
Nan Rongshu, who was wrapped tightly, supported her lower back with both hands, and her flat belly protruded. With the careful support of several palace maids, she walked towards Xiao Cheng with three stops at a time!
When Xiao Cheng saw her appearance, the corners of his mouth twitched again and he couldn't help but said:
"You haven't shown your love yet, so you shouldn't need to do this..."
Halfway through, Xiao Cheng said helplessly:
"Forget it, just be happy!"
The result of the lack of nightlife was that Nan Rongshu had something in store.
As for why she got pregnant first in the harem?
Nan Rongshu has a clingy temperament and always competes for favors, so compared to Bian Liuyun, Yang Yuhuan and Yang Yuhuan have to, well, be more open-minded...
Ahem, this is a good thing anyway.
After all, Xiao Cheng is not too young now. There was no news from the palace before, and the courtiers liked to worry about the emperor's heirs. Now that Nan Rongshu is here, it can be regarded as calming some people's hearts.
Nan Rongshu hummed, shook off the palace maid who was supporting her, got into Xiao Cheng's arms, and said softly:
"Why did your Majesty wake up suddenly?"
Xiao Cheng felt the warm fragrance of nephrite in his arms, his throat was dry, and he couldn't help but laugh twice.
He is not a man with a semen, but since Nan Rongshu became pregnant, he has lived in the Changqiu Palace for half a month in order to comfort him. He can only be held but not touched every night, and he is still in his prime of life.
I really can’t bear it...
"I just suddenly remembered that there are still government affairs to deal with..." Xiao Cheng quickly changed the subject.
Having said this, Xiao Cheng suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice to the palace man on the side:
"Xuan Fengbao is here to see you now. I have something to ask him!"
Upon hearing this, the palace attendants on the side quickly bowed and stepped back, and went to summon him.
Hearing this, Nan Rongshu puffed up her face and said:
"Why is Your Majesty so busy?"
Xiao Cheng coughed lightly and said with pretense of worry:
"There's a war on the border, how can I feel relieved? In the next few days, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in the Yangxin Hall until midnight before I can come back. Ahem, cough, cough, you are in serious condition now, I won't come to you tomorrow
, you need to have a good rest!"
Nan Rongshu, who was shrinking in Xiao Cheng's arms, heard a snicker at the corner of her mouth, and then immediately covered it up, looked up at Xiao Cheng, with a hint of joking in her bright eyes, and said:
"Oh, so that's it..."
Xiao Cheng laughed sarcastically and avoided her sight with a guilty conscience.
A bright smile appeared on Nan Rongshu's face, and she retracted into Xiao Cheng's arms again, her cheek pressed against Xiao Cheng's chest, feeling the sense of solidity and peace of mind in her heart, and said softly:
"Then your Majesty, please remember to visit me every day!"
"This is natural!" Xiao Cheng promised immediately.
As an emperor, if he didn't really take her to heart, why would he need to take care of her every night for the past half month? Why would he find excuses to comfort her and show a guilty conscience?
This is enough!
Xiao Cheng hugged her and felt the softness in his hands. He felt even hotter in his heart and coughed lightly:
"Shu'er's health is important now, so she should go back to the palace first!"
Hearing this, Nan Rongshu immediately came back to her senses.
That's right! I'm pregnant now, but the most critical moment is. In the story books I read, there are often plots about miscarriage...
Caressing her flat belly, Nan Rongshu stood up straight, bowed and said:
"Then my concubine is going back first!"
All the palace maids quickly stepped forward and carefully protected Nan Rongshu as she walked towards the palace.
Xiao Cheng looked at Nan Rongshu's leaving figure and couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, Feng Bao, whose clothes were a little messy and out of breath, quickly came to Xiao Cheng, quickly leaned over and saluted, and said respectfully:
"Slave, please pay homage to Your Majesty."
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he turned his head slightly, looked at Feng Bao, and said with a smile:
"You came so quickly, and you didn't fall asleep tonight?"
When Feng Bao heard this, his downcast face twitched slightly.
A personal eunuch like him, even if he is not on duty, must be prepared for the emperor's summons, and it will come naturally.
"Yes, I haven't fallen asleep yet." Feng Bao said in a complicated tone.
Okay, you are the emperor, you have the final say!
Feng Bao paused and said seriously:
"Your Majesty summoned you, but for the sake of the Li Dynasty?"
Xiao Cheng heard this, touched his chin, nodded and said:
"Well, yes! I was thinking about this matter, so I summoned you suddenly."
"Yang Dayan came to report. He had previously ordered the army to search with all his strength, but he still found Li Weining's whereabouts. You, Dongchang fanzi, are now deeply rooted in Li Dynasty. Have you paid attention to any news?"
When Feng Bao heard this, he quickly bowed and replied:
"Back to Your Majesty, the current Li Chao court has just received the news of the navy's defeat. There is a commotion, and there is countless news from all parties. But if we really investigate, they are just people who want to fight for power under the banner of Li Weining.
, there is no real news about it!”
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he laughed and said:
"I'm afraid Li Weining is in a terrible state now. I guess he only has a few confidants left around him. I don't know where he is hiding!"
Feng Bao laughed twice in agreement, and couldn't help but said:
"Your Majesty, now General Andong has led 50,000 soldiers and left Xiushan County to invade the Li Dynasty. Although the An Bai County of the Li Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of troops, there is no possibility of resisting our Dayun Bingfeng. Come to An Bai County
, the military peak points directly at Thang Long Mansion, the Li Dynasty is already a grasshopper after the autumn, why should your majesty worry too much?"
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows and joked:
"What? Are you blaming me for summoning you in the middle of the night?"
When Feng Bao heard this, he quickly apologized and said with a smile:
"How dare you, slave? Your Majesty, don't say it's a joke."
Xiao Cheng's smile faded slightly, he shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"The Li Dynasty occupies the south of Tiannan, with thousands of miles of borders and tens of millions of people. The Li family has been a dynasty for more than 600 years. It has a deep foundation and its legitimacy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. How can it be swallowed up so easily?
of?"
Among the three kingdoms of Yun, Xia, and Li, the Li Dynasty is indeed the weakest. But it is the weakest, and that is relatively speaking. It is also a rare big country in the world.
Xiao Cheng never really thought that the Li Dynasty could easily control it because of the victory in the Battle of Nanpanjiang!
Not to mention the Li Dynasty's Western Navy stationed in the west and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the country. Let's just say that among the Li Dynasty's court and public, those who could not bear the humiliation of the country's subjugation would not be able to easily obey the rule of the Yun Kingdom.
Throughout the ages, wars to destroy nations have never ended by conquering the enemy's country.
Public security warfare is not the most difficult battle to fight, but it is recognized as the most emotionally demanding battle.
Now in front of Xiao Cheng, although the Xia Kingdom has been defeated repeatedly, the size and national power that is four to five times that of the Yun Kingdom are there. If the Xia Kingdom is accidentally allowed to breathe, the situation will not look good!
So how could Xiao Cheng dare to spend too much energy on Li Chao at this time?
Speaking of this, Xiao Cheng suddenly moved his eyes and said:
"By the way, did you inform Yao Guangxiao who was in Shenglong Mansion as soon as possible about the defeat of Li Chao's navy and the news that Li Weining was missing among the rebels?"
When Feng Bao heard this, he quickly explained:
"Your Majesty has given instructions before. Naturally, this servant dare not neglect... Now Dongchang's intelligence archives have been opened to Master Daoyan. The Dongchang Fanzi of Shenglong Mansion has also given instructions to fully protect and cooperate with Master Daoyan!"
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng smiled slightly and said:
"If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about!"
With Yao Guangxiao here, why worry about the failure of the Li Dynasty?
When Feng Bao heard this, he nodded clearly.
--------------------------
During the Li Dynasty, in Thang Long Prefecture.
At this time, Shenglong Mansion had received the news that the East Route Navy that was sent to Yun State had been wiped out, and that Li Weining was lost in the rebellious army and his life or death was unknown, so the atmosphere in the entire city was extremely depressed and solemn.
In the initial defeat of Yongzhou, the Li Dynasty lost nearly 80% of its elite soldiers, cut off the sacred lands of the four northern states, and suffered a serious loss of vitality.
In the defeat of Xiushan County, all the remaining elites were lost in one fell swoop, and half of the improvised army of 100,000 was casualties. The most important thing is that most of the Li Dynasty army's energy and energy were dispersed. From then on, they were as fearful as a tiger.
, the soldiers even reached the point where their hearts trembled when they saw Yun Guo’s flag.
This time, the defeat of Nanpanjiang made the Li Dynasty proud even more. The entire East Route Navy was wiped out. Even his own king, Li Weining, was in a state where he did not know whether he was alive or dead.
If news of the defeat had come back before, the Li court and the public would have been harshly scolded, and the people would have been filled with grief and anger.
But when the news of the defeat came back, the scholars of the Li Dynasty who used to gather in taverns and teahouses to talk loudly and curse the corruption of the courtiers and the incompetence of the military commanders were no longer there. On the streets, pedestrians were walking in a hurry, and everyone looked nervous and panicked.
Fear.
The entire capital of the Li Dynasty was now in a state of panic and silence, as if it was the end of the dynasty and was about to overthrow.
The luxurious carriage, surrounded by tall knights, drove slowly past the street.
Aohou Lihu opened the car window slightly and looked at the dead silent street with a heavy expression on his face.
In the current situation, not to mention these common people, but also the ministers in the court, all began to have strange thoughts. According to the news from the school official, in just half a month, there were already more than a dozen people
The ministers of the DPRK secretly sent people to contact Yun Guo.
Thinking of this, Li Hu closed the car window with some annoyance and sighed heavily.
With the country's situation like this, how can we not make people worry? Is Da'an's 600-year-old foundation really going to decline in the hands of his generation?
At this time, Li Hu, who was in the carriage, vaguely heard a sudden noise coming from outside.
Normally, as the capital of the Li Dynasty and the most beautiful place, Thang Long Mansion would be extremely lively. But now, the sudden noise seemed a little strange.
Li Hu opened the window again and vaguely saw a group of people gathered together, discussing something loudly.
With the current season and situation, any abnormal behavior in Shenglong Mansion requires extreme caution.
Li Hu immediately spoke out:
"Go and see what happened!"
When the trusted knight beside the carriage heard this, he immediately responded and rode away.
Within a moment, the knight came back from riding with excitement, walked straight to the carriage, lowered his voice and said:
"Master Hou, it's a fisherman selling fish in the city, and someone happened to get a piece of cloth with seal script written on it from the belly of the fish."
When Li Hu heard this, his heart suddenly tightened and he immediately said:
"Send people quickly to temporarily imprison those people! In the current situation, if some demagogic prophecies spread by Dongchang Fanzi of Yun State again spread out, it would be terrible!"
In the current situation, such a worthy method suddenly appeared, and it was easy for Li Hu to think of Dongchang Fanzi hidden in Li Dynasty.
There are so many prophecies throughout the ages! Ordinary people are ignorant and are most easily deceived by such things.
Today's Li Dynasty must not cause any more trouble!
At this time, when the knight on the side heard this, his expression was slightly strange, and he hesitated and said:
"Master Hou, there is indeed a good prophecy in the belly of the fish. But this, this, has something to do with Master Hou..."
Having said this, the trusted knight immediately lowered his voice and said:
"Master Marquis, just like the godsends that appeared in the mansion before... they belong to you, Master Marquis!"
When Li Hu heard this, his pupils immediately shrank, he gritted his teeth and roared:
"What on earth is it?"
The trusted knight's heart suddenly flashed, and he quickly said:
"On the cloth, 'Aohou Wang' is written in ancient seal script."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hu suddenly began to breathe heavily.
Golden swords and jade seals, dragon aura appears, foxes roar in the wild...
Many strange things happened in these days once again appeared in Li Hu's mind.
Destiny?
This thought had never occurred to Li Hu before when his heart was burning.
But in fact, as long as you calm down and investigate carefully afterwards, you can clearly find that someone among them is deliberately guiding and spreading and expanding rumors.
This is obviously the method of Yun Guodong Factory.
The reason, of course, is to bring turmoil to the Li Dynasty!
But even if he understands this truth, Li Hu knows that the unspeakable thoughts that appear in his heart from time to time have already revealed his deepest desire!
Li Weining had five heirs. Before the imperial conquest, he appointed his eldest son, who had just turned nine, as the crown prince to supervise the affairs of the court.
But now Li Weining is lost in the rebel army, and he does not know whether he will live or die. The country is in such a difficult situation, how can he put the heavy burden of a country on a child?
The expression on Li Hu's face kept changing. After a while, he finally took a deep breath, closed the window, and said in a deep voice:
"Go back!"
When the trusted knight heard this, he quickly lowered his voice and asked:
"Master Marquis, are the people gathered over there going to be taken away and detained?"
In the carriage, Li Hu could only be heard saying in a muffled voice:
"They are just ordinary people, what are they doing?"
The confidant immediately understood, his eyes bursting with excitement, and he said excitedly:
"Yes, I understand!"
Li protects the frame and drives slowly.
In the distance, Monk Daoyan, Yao Guangxiao, wearing a black monk's robe and a gloomy face, coldly watched Li Hu's carriage leave and said to himself:
"With this arrangement, it's almost enough!"
Having said this, Daoyan turned around, looked at Dongchang Fanzi behind him, and said:
"How many officials with clean identities can Dongchang control in Li Chao's court?"
Dongchang Fanzi heard this and said quickly:
"Guanglu's mail and mail, often served by Cao Shilang Qi Hongwen, can be used!"
Dao Yan suddenly curved his mouth, showing a somewhat cold smile, nodded and said:
"Guang Luxun? That's just right! The current Guang Luxun of Li Dynasty is the uncle of the young prince of Li Dynasty... Tell all the rumors about Li Hu from the people in the market!"
