Huangyuan County Government
While Prince Nan'an was talking to Liu Fang, heavy footsteps came from the distance. Several soldiers entered the prison, lifted Prince Nan'an up and walked outside.
Prince Nan'an pretended to be calm and scolded: "What are you going to do?"
Fan Bing didn't answer, so he led Yan Ye, the king of Nan'an County, to the county government office.
On the other side, Liu Fang saw this and said anxiously: "What are you going to do?"
"There is another one here." A Mongolian man asked the leading young man, "Would you like to take him with us?"
When Liu Fang heard this, she felt a chill in her heart. Could it be that she was taken there to behead him as a sacrifice to the flag?
Thinking of this, I dared not say a word.
"Taiji didn't say to take him just now, so don't pay attention." The leading young man said, and ordered his men to step forward, pick up Liu Fang and leave.
Liu Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and shrank into the haystack, thinking about how to escape.
At this moment, in the county government hall, Dorji was sitting on the main seat, and Yue Tuo was sitting on the left hand side below.
Then, everyone's attention was drawn, and they saw five or six warriors holding down a middle-aged general with disheveled hair and blood-stained python robes and armor, being tied up with ropes and walking into the hall with his hands cut behind his back.
"Kneel down!" At this moment, the guard beside Dorji shouted in a deep voice.
Yan Ye's face changed slightly, he held his neck and shouted angrily: "This king is..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt a pain coming from the crook of his leg. Prince Nan'an groaned and knelt on one knee.
Yan Ye flew into a rage and shouted: "You thief, if you dare, kill me if you dare!"
As he said that, he suddenly burst out.
However, the two men held down his shoulders tightly, and there was a sharp pain in the crook of the other leg, but Yan Ye refused to kneel, and the other bent leg still wanted to stand up.
At this moment, several burly warriors wanted to come closer and kicked their upright knees three times in a row. Prince Nan'an was on guard and gritted his teeth and groaned.
Yue Tuo said in a deep voice: "Slow down!"
While several people were looking at Dorji, Dorji waved his hand, his face was livid, and he said angrily: "Look what Ben Taiji does! Brother Yue Tuo's order is Ben Taiji's order!"
"Yes." Several personal guards quickly retreated.
Yue Tuan nodded towards Dorji, then cast his cold eyes on Prince Nan'an, looked at him for a moment, and asked: "Are you Prince Nan'an, one of the four major princes of Han Dynasty?"
"It's your grandfather!" Yan Ye spat out a mouthful of blood and said angrily.
Yue Tuo sneered, feeling a little angry in his heart, and said sarcastically: "Your grandfather was also a famous general who was powerful in the desert. He was a county king and was hereditary. How come you are like a wine bag and rice bag?
Incompetent and exhausted?"
When the Prince of Nan'an County heard this, he felt ashamed, but his face was filled with anger and he cursed: "Dog Tartar! If it weren't for your trick, we don't know who will die!"
Yue Tuo sneered and said: "A defeated general still dares to speak arrogant words!"
The King of Nan'an County scolded: "You Jurchen slave chieftains were bombarded by the Hongyi cannon of our Han Dynasty. If I hadn't brought the cannon, why would you have acted so wildly?"
Yue Tuo's face was as gloomy as iron. He suppressed the anger surging in his heart and said, "I will give you a consultation."
As he spoke, he ignored the reaction of Prince Nan'an and said to himself: "I can let you go back, but our envoy is detained in the capital of the Han Dynasty. As long as the Han court is willing to let the envoy go, I can
Let you return to Hanting."
When the Prince of Nan'an County heard this, he frowned and said nothing for a while.
…
…
Just when the situation in the northwest was turbulent and Chen Han's army was defeated again, the report of the northwest's defeat was also delivered to the capital at a speed of eight hundred miles.
Jinyi Mansion's detectives in Xining Mansion even used flying pigeons to deliver messages to Jinyi Mansion in Shenjing City, which was faster than Jin Xuan's first battle report.
Shenjing City, Daming Palace, Hanyuan Palace
Today is the noon day, and all the civil and military officials in the palace are standing respectfully holding ivory and jade sceptres.
Emperor Chongping is summoning a group of civil and military ministers. Today is the birthday of the Queen Mother. The emperor is obviously in a good mood. Not only have there been frequent good news from the northwest recently, but the new policy in the south has also achieved the latest results.
As Jia Heng and Princess Xianning continued to work on their ideological work, many officials and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River could not remain indifferent. They began to send people to find out what happened to the Ocean Company and the Royal Bank that Duke Wei mentioned.
Gao Zhongping also sent out his petty officials to preliminarily clear the estates of the four major families of Jinling Jia Shi Wang Xue, register them, and then pay taxes according to regulations.
After some careful calculations, although the land is divided into acres and taxes will be paid based on the latest number of acres, the amount gained is limited.
All of a sudden, the bureaucratic gentry, which had been somewhat monolithic, began to waver. When Lin Ruhai went south to Jinling and the Royal Bank was established to absorb the money deposited by honorable relatives and promise to give some high interest, people's minds were even more excited.
The signs of the smooth implementation of the Jiangnan New Deal were naturally sent to Shenjing via Gao Zhongping's memorial.
Emperor Chongping glanced at the ministers below, and said with a smile: "Now the New Deal in Jiangnan is in full swing, and the cabinet has issued a decree to Jia and Gao."
Facts have proved that when he used Nan'an to go to the northwest and Ziyu to go to the south of the Yangtze River, he really used his talents to the best of his ability. Starting from his relatives, he made the officials and gentry of the south of the Yangtze River follow suit, and the implementation of the rest of the New Deal was much easier.
When Han Huang, the chief minister of the cabinet, heard this, he handed over his hand.
Emperor Chongping turned his attention to the official train on the side and asked: "Shi Qing, is there any latest military information from the northwest?"
Shi Jie came out of court holding an ivory and jade wat in his hand. With a respectful look on his face, he raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have not received the latest military report here. Not long ago, the King of Qi urged the Ministry of Household Affairs to distribute grain and fodder to the front line."
After a pause, he continued: "Wei Chen, I wonder if there is any latest military information from Jinyi Mansion?"
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Let the Ministry of War and the Jinyi Mansion be strict at all times. After Qing led the troops to attack Haiyan, I asked you to discuss whether to continue the army. If the army goes smoothly, it will be possible to regain the Western Region."
Isn’t it necessary?”
Since the Seven Guards of Kansai were occupied by the Mongolians, several generations of emperors from the Chen and Han Dynasties wanted to take back the Seven Guards of Kansai, but the delay has so far, and there is still no opportunity to regain it in one fell swoop.
At this time, a censor said: "Your Majesty, I am here to report the death of Wang Xueqin, the censor of Shanxi Province. Although the Western Region is my hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties, there have been changes in time and there are no Han people living there. We, the great dynasty of the Central Plains, do not have to waste money and food to collect food."
It’s a barren land, and it’s hard to describe the benefits.”
At this time, the military officer handed over his hands to Guo Pu, who was involved in the matter, and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to completely solve the border troubles in the northwest, it is imperative to recover the Western Region. Only in this way can you defend the enemy from outside the country."
All of a sudden, the civil and military officials in the palace came out to talk about the need to recover the Western Regions. It was very likely that the prince of Nan'an County would conquer Qinghai in a matter of seconds.
At this moment, the voice of the inner prisoner came from the stone steps outside: "Your Majesty, urgent report from the northwest!"
When the officials in the palace heard this, they looked shocked.
Immediately, an internal prison officer stumbled over and said, "Your Majesty, urgent report from the northwest of Jinyi Mansion!"
Dai Quan's face paused slightly, and he quickly got down from the desk, walked closer, took the information received from the Jinyi Mansion from the eunuch, and then turned towards Emperor Chongping.
"Your Majesty, please take a look at it." Dai Quan cupped his hands and said.
Emperor Chongping's face moved slightly. He took the military newspaper and read the words on it, and was shocked.
I saw on it that it was written that the Prince of Nan'an County was completely wiped out in the northwest, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead.
When Emperor Chongping heard this, his eyelids twitched wildly. He couldn't believe it. He stared at Dai Quan with his sharp eyes and said, "Where did this military report come from?"
Dai Quan was startled for a moment and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, this is the Jinyi Mansion."
Emperor Chongping only felt that a few thin pieces of paper were as heavy as a stone. He frowned and asked, "Where are the people in Jinyi Mansion now? I want to ask questions!"
The eunuch said: "Your Majesty, please wait at Anshun Gate. This is a message sent by Feige from Jinyi Mansion. They have detectives in Xining Mansion, and they have also helped deliver a lot of good news in the past few days."
When Emperor Chongping heard this, he felt his eyes going dark, but he still felt a little unbelievable deep down in his heart, so he forced himself to calm down.
A few lines of writing on the paper recorded: The back road to Nan'an was cut off, the grain road to Huangyuan was robbed, and the army conquering the west was in danger!
Seeing Emperor Chongping interrogating the eunuch twice, all the ministers in the palace looked at each other and immediately started talking among themselves.
What's going on? Has something happened to the war in the northwest?
Han Huang, who had undergone plastic surgery to reduce his appearance, held a wat tablet in his hand, went out to the class and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the military report of Jinyi Mansion said?"
Emperor Chongping was about to speak.
At this moment, another young eunuch came from outside. He was out of breath. He ran back all the way from the stone stairs and said: "Your Majesty, this is the newspaper delivered to the Ministry of War by Xining Prefecture."
This was a request for help from General Jin Xuan of Fuyuan, Xining. After several days of traveling day and night, it arrived at the desk of Emperor Chongping.
"Quickly, show it to me." Emperor Chongping said almost impatiently.
Not long after, a young eunuch with a pale face and no beard took the military report in his hand and presented it to Emperor Chongping via Dai Quan.
Compared with the Jinyi Mansion, where important military information was recorded on a thin piece of paper after being compiled, the Tang newspaper stamped with the defense seal was undoubtedly more convincing.
It records in detail the entire process of how Nan'an County Prince led his troops into despair, from Jin Xuan's advice not to go deep into the hinterland of Qinghai to fight the enemy, to the robbery of the grain road, everything is recorded in it.
Because it was written by the swordsman and pen official of Xining Prefecture, it was emphasized that the prince of Nan'an County fell into the enemy's trick of luring the enemy.
Emperor Chongping opened the Tang newspaper and read it quickly. He was silent for a moment, a little disbelieving, and then read it again and murmured: "The back road to Huangyuan has been cut off, and the army led by Nan'an to conquer the west is in a desperate situation. Xining Prefecture has sent a large army
Go to Huangyuan to open up the food route and ask Shenjing to send troops to rescue."
Emperor Chongping felt his hands and feet were cold, his rapid breathing was stagnant, and the newspaper he held in his hand began to feel heavy.
In fact, when Nan'an's escape route was cut off, Jinyi Mansion originally heard only a few words and wanted to deliver the news to Shenjing through flying pigeons. However, because the matter was of great importance, the general of Jinyi Mansion in Xining confirmed it.
Additional detectives were sent to Huangyuan to inquire about the battle situation, so there was a slight delay.
Emperor Chongping's face was solemn, he forced himself to remain calm, and said in a deep voice: "The army led by Nan'an is trapped in Haiyan, and the Huangyuan grain road has been robbed. How do you think we should rush to rescue?"
The military situation on the frontline is raging, and I don't know if there have been any new changes in the past few days.
As soon as this statement came out, the officials below were in an uproar and discussed one after another.
Wasn't it just now that we were discussing recovering the Seven Guards of Kansai and the Western Region?
How can we listen to the emperor's wishes now? The war in the northwest is not going well, and the Nan'an army is already in danger?
Isn't this too...fast?
Emperor Chongping's face was as gloomy as iron, and he said: "Dai Quan, send someone to Jinyi Mansion to keep an eye on it, and use flying pigeons to send letters to inquire about the latest information about Xining Mansion."
In fact, Xining is not far from Shenjing City.
When Dai Quan heard this, he quickly ordered the inner prisoner to go.
At this moment, the officials in the palace were a little confused and didn't know how to present the memorial.
Chongping took a deep breath, looked at the military aircraft department, and said: "Shi Qing, Huangyuan was robbed by Mongolian soldiers and horses, how much impact did it have on the army led by Nan'an to conquer the west?"
Calm down, you must be calm at this moment, he is the emperor of Han Dynasty, he even defeated the Jurchens not long ago, and the slave chief gave him the head...
Shi Jie frowned and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Prince Nan'an led a hundred thousand troops deep into Qinghai this time. I'm afraid he fell into a trap to lure the enemy. Since all the grain and crops were stationed in Huangyuan, they were robbed now. A hundred thousand troops are here."
If Haiyan does anything wrong... he will be in danger of being wiped out."
completely annihilated……
All the officials in the palace were in an uproar. In the midsummer season of July, a biting cold wind blew through, making people shiver.
When Emperor Chongping heard the words "The whole army was annihilated", his eyelids twitched and his expression suddenly changed. He calmed down and said in a deep voice: "No, Nan'an is also an old soldier."
At this time, the military aircraft driver Hang Min came out and said: "Your Majesty, if the army divides its forces to recapture Huangyuan, it is not that there is no chance of turning a corner. The people who have cut off their retreat since the beginning will not have many troops. Otherwise, we will not be able to win."
Instead of burning the grain roads, we joined forces to attack and besiege our army to conquer the west."
Emperor Chongping seemed to be inspired by the optimistic situation described by Hang Min. He nodded frequently and said: "What Hang Qing said is true. Huangyuan soldiers and horses should also be there. There is still the possibility of recapturing it."
The civil servants below were listening to the conversation between the monarch and his ministers. Most of them looked worried, thinking about the direction of the affairs.
Shi Jie cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the top priority is to urge Jin Xuan to send troops to clear the grain road and take the army back to Xining Mansion."
Emperor Chongping said: "What Shi Qing said is true. The Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department jointly issued an order to Xining, asking him to immediately send troops to meet the Western Army!"
At this time, the reconquest of the Western Regions and the great martial arts seemed to have no existence, and the most important thing was to preserve the army!
Just when the ministers were worried about the crisis in the northwest frontier, the sun gradually set in the west, the sky became gloomy, and palace lanterns were lit in the Hanyuan Hall.
Emperor Chongping ordered all the ministers to disperse, leaving only the officials of the Sixth Cabinet Department and several important ministers from the Military Aircraft Department to discuss matters in the inner study.
In the study room, the ministers stood with their hands folded, and you could hear a needle drop.
Emperor Chongping's expression was extremely ugly, and there was a cold aura around him that prohibited strangers from entering. His worries about the war on the front line almost enveloped the emperor.
Dai Quan's fair face was full of worry, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's time to pass on the meal."
"I'm not hungry." Emperor Chongping waved his hand, his face was as gloomy as iron, and he said in a deep voice: "Jinyi Mansion, do the people squatting over at the Ministry of War have any new urgent military information?"
Dai Quan said: "Your Majesty, there is no military information delivered yet."
Emperor Chongping's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He felt as if a huge mountain rock was pressing on his heart. He could hardly breathe. He stood up, paced back and forth for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to ask again."
Han Huang raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there are 60,000 elite soldiers in the army of 100,000 in the capital. With the bravery of the soldiers and horses in the capital, there should be no fear of destruction."
Of course, these words were words of comfort, and no one could say anything before the two armies.
When Emperor Chongping heard this, his expression was silent. He suddenly looked at Shi Jie and asked, "Shi Qing, what do you think?"
Shi Jie was worried in his heart. Hearing this, he quickly raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's better to wait for the latest information. Maybe it's... maybe it's a false alarm."
Afterwards, the internal supervisors sent to Jinyi Mansion returned one after another, but there was still no latest military information.
Several ministers present knew that they would not be able to sleep well that night.
The army was in a critical situation, and the emperor was extremely anxious.
Waiting until the Youzheng hour, seeing that it was getting late and the ministers were hungry, there was no other solution. Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment and said: "Dai Quan, go to the imperial kitchen to give meals to some of your beloved ministers in Wuying Hall."
Dai Quan responded quickly, and then the ministers withdrew.
In the study room, for a while, Emperor Chongping was the only one left sitting on the dragon chair behind the imperial desk. The flickering candlelight reflected the dark and unclear face, which was covered with anxiety.
The chirping of crickets in the palace in summer made Emperor Chongping even more irritated, but the emperor sat behind the desk, motionless, like a sculpture, staring at the map of Qinghai and other places on the desk in trance.
"Your Majesty, please have some dinner, so as to wait for the military situation." Dai Quan said sadly when he saw the emperor sitting behind the desk.
Emperor Chongping suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot pupils almost startled Dai Quan, and murmured in a low voice: "Dai Quan, do you think I really used the wrong Nan'an?"
Just now, this emperor had such a question lingering in his mind.
If Nan'an was not used, but Ziyu was used, wouldn't it be... that there wouldn't be such danger?
After hearing this, Dai Quan compiled his words and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, even if the Nan'an County Prince was defeated, it was because they did not use their troops effectively. How can Your Majesty say that they used the wrong force? Nan'an County Prince and others are national military honors, and they have suffered a lot.
Your Majesty's En, it is your duty to lead troops in battle, and I just heard Master Shi from the Military Aircraft Department say that if we can recapture the food route, there may not be a turning point."
Listening to Dai Quan's words, Emperor Chongping was silent for a long time without saying anything. He sat on the Grand Master's chair and couldn't help casting his gloomy gaze out the window.
At that time, the bright moon was hanging high, casting countless cold moonlight, and the moonlight seemed to be flowing like water on the eaves of the palace in the distance.
God bless, it's better to give it a false alarm!
The army of the Western Expedition turned danger into safety and turned danger into safety!
Emperor Chongping prayed secretly deep in his heart.
Perhaps the aroma of the food aroused the hungry appetite in his belly, so Emperor Chongping asked Dai Quan to prepare a bowl of porridge and ate it absentmindedly.
He stayed in the inner study until five o'clock in the morning, but there was still no news. Emperor Chongping finally couldn't stand it any longer. With the support of Dai Quan, he went to the imperial couch in the inner room and fell asleep without taking off his dragon robe.
.
But after only sleeping for about half an hour, his eyes suddenly opened and he woke up suddenly.
The glowing candlelight on the crane-shaped palace lanterns around him flickered unsteadily, illuminating a dull, exhausted face. His eyes were dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty." Dai Quan quickly approached and called the middle-aged emperor.
Emperor Chongping's head was covered with sweat. He did not respond to Dai Quan's call for a moment. Under his thin brows, the look of fear still lingered in his eyes.
Just now, he had a nightmare. A steady stream of Tatars rushed into the palace like a tide. In order to prevent the harem from being humiliated, he drew his sword and killed Concubine Rong and other concubines. He called Dai Quan and went
Cantilevered beams on the trees in the back mountain...
Then the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains fell under the iron hooves of the aliens.
"Your Majesty." Dai Quan called again.
Only then did Emperor Chongping regain his composure, wiped the sweat from his forehead and temples, looked at the morning light outside the window, and said in a hoarse, rough voice: "Dai Quan, what time is it?"
Dai Quan said: "Your Majesty, it's time."
Emperor Chongping took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, calmed down his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Today is the morning court."
Dai Quan worriedly asked: "Your Majesty has not slept all night, how can he still go to the morning court?"
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment and then ordered: "While I am changing my clothes, I will go to the Wuying Palace to discuss matters with the ministers."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Dai Quan responded quickly.
When Emperor Chongping finished washing up and came to Wuying Hall, Shi Jie and others from the Sixth Department of the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department had been waiting for a while.
Last night, several ministers from the Sixth Department of the Cabinet did not go home. They slept hastily in the warm pavilion of Wuying Hall, waiting for the battle report from the northwest.
"I have seen the Holy One, long live long live the Holy One." All the ministers present looked at the emperor who was rushing towards him surrounded by the inner prisoners. They were shocked. After just one night, the emperor seemed to have become much older?
The original black hair seemed to have a few strands of snow.
Emperor Chongping sat on the dragon chair, his voice still hoarse, and ordered: "Your Majesty, please bow down without courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the officials in the palace bowed with their hands raised.
Emperor Chongping calmed down, looked around the ministers, and asked: "Have the people from Jinyi Mansion arrived?"
At this time, Qianhu, who was wearing a brocade flying fish suit, walked a few steps quickly, knelt down with a bang, kowtowed and said, "I am here to serve you."
Emperor Chongping asked: "Is there any latest military information coming from the northwest? How often does it take to pass on?"
The Jinyi Qianhu said: "Back to Your Majesty, Jinyi Mansion's carrier pigeons are sent every three days. If there is an emergency, military information will be conveyed immediately."
Emperor Chongping's face was silent, his eyes flickered, and he didn't ask any more questions.
Han Huang stood with his hands folded below, looking at the emperor who suddenly became silent, feeling a little worried in his heart.
After a while, an eunuch came quickly from outside the palace, with a look of urgency on his fair face, and saluted, "Your Majesty, the military information from Jinyi Mansion has been delivered."
When Emperor Chongping heard this, under his thin brows, his bloodshot pupils stared closely at the prisoner and said, "Where is he now?"
After a while, an eunuch came from outside, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, we are already outside the temple."
At this moment, a man wearing a flying fish suit, holding a piece of paper in his hand, stepped across the high threshold of Wuying Hall from outside the hall. The clear water-like floor reflected the fearful look on his face sometimes clearly.
, sometimes vaguely, he cupped his hands in greeting and said: "Your Majesty, the latest flying pigeon biography from Xining Mansion."
Dai Quan didn't wait for Emperor Chongping's instructions, quickly walked over, took the paper from the hand of the Jinyi palace guard, turned around, walked a few steps quickly, and said: "Your Majesty."
At this moment, Emperor Chongping looked at the face of the Jinyi palace guard and vaguely noticed something, but he couldn't think about anything else. He opened the paper and couldn't wait to read it.
As time passed, Emperor Chongping seemed to be frozen in place, motionless, as if struck by thunder.
Outside the Xuan window, illuminated by a ray of golden light in the morning, it was clearly written: The entire army of the Western Expedition was annihilated, the prince of Nan'an County was captured, and the situation in the northwest was corrupt...
Emperor Chongping's eyes were blank at this moment, his hands and feet felt cold, and he seemed to be unable to hear the sounds around him.
There was a surge of humiliation, shame, fear, regret and other emotions in the bottom of his heart, entangled in one place, spreading like weeds, burning in his heart, making the middle-aged emperor move his lips a few times, trying to say something, but couldn't find a single word.
Don't say it.
Ziyu had clearly reminded him many times, why did he insist on using Nan'an as his general?
Why did he use Nan'an as his general? Why? Why...
The entire army of one hundred thousand troops was annihilated. This was a defeat no less than the fall of Liaodong!
Nan'an, Yan Ye, common man!
A common man mistook me!! A common man mistook me!!!
Just when the emperor was wrapped up in a feeling of violence, anger, and shame, a thought suddenly came to his mind.
No, this is just a piece of paper from Jinyi Mansion. What if it is fake?
But there was another voice in my heart that was firm and unmistakable. Jinyi Mansion was so ambitious that it dared to retaliate for defeat.
Do you have to wait until the defeat in Xining to realize that you hired the wrong person and ended up with a big defeat?
In March, I could still capture the chieftains and sacrifice them to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. After only a few months, I was so satisfied that I lost an entire hundred thousand troops to the northwest. It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous...
The laughing stock of the world is nothing more than this.
Looking at the emperor whose expression was changing, Han Huang's elegant face was full of worry, his brows were furrowed, he took a few steps closer and called out: "Your Majesty."
Shi Jie also looked at Emperor Chongping worriedly, twitched his lips, and took a few steps closer.
Dai Quan was always paying attention to the changes in Emperor Chongping's face. He felt something bad in his heart and suddenly exclaimed: "Your Majesty."
Immediately there were shouts of exclamation from all around: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
But he saw that the middle-aged emperor's sunken and dull cheeks suddenly showed a strange flush, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth. He then spit out a large mouthful of blood on the table with a "poof".
Emperor Chongping felt his eyes go dark, the sky and the earth were spinning, and the paper fell down on the imperial desk with a "plop". He no longer knew who was going to do it, and the paper in his hand was whirling down like flying paper money.
For a moment, the people of Wuying Palace fell on their backs, and there was chaos. The voices of the eunuchs and civil servants rushed towards Emperor Chongping.
