Volume Four, The Year of the Curtain, Chapter 86: The Curtain Slowly Opens
After Xu Chi read the files on his desk, his most immediate reaction was disbelief. He raised his head, looked at Huashanyue with a frosty face and said, "It's so ridiculous! This method is so underhanded!"
Hua Shanyue was not surprised by the general's reaction, because even he, an important general of the Princess Faction, couldn't believe it when he first heard the secret.
The Empress of the Tang Dynasty was actually a saint from the Demon Sect. This was something that was unbelievable. Just like the general at this time, he thought it was the cruel means of Her Highness the Princess.
"I didn't believe it at first, but the evidence is so solid that I have to believe it."
He said with a sad expression: "With the testimony of Imperial Master Li Qingshan before his death, the most important thing is the relationship between the Queen and Xia Hou. As long as this can be proven, everything else can be proven."
Xu Chi thought about the secret files that Nanmen Temple had secretly retrieved from the Xiling Temple in the previous files, and the results deduced from the correspondence with the old secret files in the palace, and his hands suddenly trembled.
"Over the years, uncle, have you ever heard of the Empress being sick or injured? When there was a fire in the Qingcheng Hall of the Imperial Palace, the Empress and her personal eunuchs rushed into the fire to save people. It was a good talk for a while, and the whole world praised her for her kindness and kindness.
You are kind and courageous, but has anyone noticed that all the eunuchs and sisters were burned, but only the empress who entered the fire three times only had some of her hair burned and no scars were left on her body?"
Hua Shanyue said solemnly: "Uncle, don't forget that we Tang people are also Haotian believers. Although the empire is open-minded and tolerant, we have never heard that even the thieves of the Demon Sect must be tolerated. Back then, Mr. Ke of the academy destroyed the Demon Sect, and the remnants of the Demon Sect
Sneaking south to construct such a big conspiracy, Xiahou and the Queen are the two most critical people in Chun's conspiracy. Do you want to watch the Demon Sect's big conspiracy succeed?"
The expression on Xu Chi's face became extremely serious, and he suddenly said: "Now the Xiling Temple wants to take advantage of the death of the dean and His Majesty to attack the Tang Dynasty. At this dangerous moment, I don't care much about the distinction between good and evil. As long as the devil
Zong can make my Datang strong, so what?"
Hua Shanyue was slightly shocked when he heard this. After all, he was still too young. Unlike Xu Chi and other generals, he had a history of fighting with all the countries in the world and dealing with the strong men of Taoism in the dark. Therefore, he could not understand Xu Chi at this time.
Faced with the pressure from the Xiling Temple, he would rather join forces with the Demon Sect.
He asked sternly: "Uncle, do you want to see a demon sect evildoer become the queen mother of my Tang Dynasty?"
Xu Chi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is such a person. He has been married to the Queen for nearly twenty years. He must have known that she was from the Demon Sect. Since Your Majesty has no objection, then I have no objection either."
Hua Shanyue suddenly felt exhausted to the extreme. He never expected that the dossier he took out on behalf of His Highness could not produce the expected results. He said in confusion: "Even if her son may rule the Tang Dynasty?"
Xu Chi was silent.
Hua Shanyue suddenly thought of the words that His Highness mentioned in the secret letter. He hurried to the desk and said angrily: "Even if His Majesty died young, was it because he was poisoned by the Queen?"
Xu Chi suddenly raised his head.
Hua Shanyue stared into his eyes and said: "Everything will be proven in the future. What His Highness asked you to do, General, is just to do it more slowly. Whether the Tang Dynasty will last forever depends on your thoughts."
…
…
Inside the Chang'an Imperial Palace.
The current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Hunyuan, looked at the gloomy sky, but the expression on his face was not gloomy. He smiled and said: "Sister Huang said that rumors are not important, and the doubts of those rebellious ministers and traitors about the imperial edict are not important. Who can
It doesn’t matter if you support me, what matters is military power and the stability of Chang’an City.”
He Mingchi stood quietly beside him with a butter paper umbrella under his arm. After a moment of silence, he said: "His Royal Highness has been familiar with political affairs for many years, and his views on these matters are naturally worth relying on."
Being worthy of reliance in a certain aspect does not mean that it is worthy of reliance in any aspect. If this sentence is further extended. If you have to rely on the other party for everything, then what is the use of you?
Li Hunyuan is a very smart person. After understanding what He Mingchi meant, the expression on his face quickly turned gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Don't try to sow discord between me and the emperor's sister. Seeing as you have recently established an alliance,
For the sake of great merit, I will pretend that I didn’t hear you today. If there is a next time, you know what will happen.”
He Mingchi frowned slightly and said, "Understood."
"The imperial sister sent Xian Zhilang to Tuyang City the year before last, and now the Northeastern Frontier Army is waiting for me. Shu Cheng's foundation is shallow, and the Western Army of the Tang Dynasty is weak. If he is smart, he will not speak until the situation is unclear."
Li Hunyuan said calmly: "Based on the time, Hua Shanyue should be talking to Xu Chi now. Because of that incident, Beidaying will no longer support that woman."
He Mingchi knew very well what the incident His Majesty was referring to. In fact, the Queen's secret origin and life experience were exactly what he told the Li Yu siblings.
"The only problem now is Xu Shi, who is retiring in the south." Li Hunyuan said with a frown.
He Mingchi said: "This is also the most difficult problem."
Li Hunyuan expressed her agreement with silence.
He Mingchi said: "Xu Shi is a general who governs the country. He is very senior and has great authority. Even the Yulin army has to obey his orders. Moreover, he has such high prestige that no one can touch him."
Li Hunyuan looked at the gloomy sky above the palace and said with a gloomy face: "This old guy has been raised for many years, but he still refuses to truly return to his old age. When he is in the court, does the army of the Tang Dynasty belong to me or to him?"
He Mingchi was silent for a moment and then said: "How do you want to persuade General Xu Shi? I am willing to share your worries for your majesty."
Li Hunyuan said sarcastically: "When Uncle Qingshan looked at Xu Shi, he had to shun him. Even if I make you the national preceptor now, what can you do to him? If Nanmen Temple has this ability, there is no need to condescend to him.
Under the Xiling Temple?"
He Mingchi said: "What Your Majesty said is true, but I believe that under His Majesty's rule, the South Gate Temple will definitely flourish in the future, surpassing the Xiling Temple, and not bringing shame to the Tang Dynasty."
"That is ultimately a matter of the future."
Li Hunyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly said: "After all, you and Xiling Temple are from the same lineage, and you have close contacts... Is there any way you can contact the people in Xiling Temple?"
He Mingchi felt slightly surprised, and objected solemnly: "Your Majesty, this matter..."
"I know that I am seeking skin from a tiger. I know what those old magicians in Xiling Temple want, and I can afford it. I also know very well what I want, but I cannot afford to lose."
Li Huanyuan waved his hand and said gloomily: "As the saying goes, to fight against foreigners, you must first settle the domestic affairs. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty was also forced to sign a city alliance with the Huangren. He suffered humiliation, but in the end he drove the Huangren out.
The grasslands, like cattle and sheep, were driven to the extreme northern cold regions and suffered thousands of years of bitter cold. I will definitely lead an army to conquer Taoshan in the future!"
…

The Master and the Tang Emperor passed away one after another. It seemed at the time that the people of the Tang Dynasty accepted this reality calmly, because the people of the Tang Dynasty were used to separation between life and death, and their spiritual temperament had been running wildly on the road of strength. But in fact, the people of the Tang Dynasty, especially the Tang Dynasty,
Subtle changes are taking place in the hearts of the big shots at the top.
Even they themselves were not aware of that change. They were no longer as confident and direct as they were when the Master and Your Majesty were still alive. They began to rely on planning, and even began to seek external power.
For the tens of thousands of Tang troops in Helan City, this impact was more emotionally reflected. Especially after the supply of military rations began to be controlled, the atmosphere in the city became increasingly depressed.
"Before the rain stopped, three batches of messengers were sent out, and several more batches were sent out after the rain stopped. According to the time calculation, the Peking Camp's grain and fodder convoy should arrive no later than the day after tomorrow. Your Majesty, don't worry too much."
The historical general reported in a low voice.
The Empress said expressionlessly: "What if all the messengers are killed?"
Han Qing's face was livid, and he wanted to speak, but suppressed the urge to swear. Naturally, his anger was not directed at the Queen, but at some people in Chang'an City.
That night, Helan City tried to transmit teleport again, but found that the talisman array in the palace of Chang'an City had been closed. The people in Helan City understood what had happened.
Han Qing said in a deep voice: "We will set off to return south tomorrow. Please don't worry, Madam, no one dares to stop us."
The queen said: "No one dares to cut off the food supply in Helan City. Xu Chi does not dare, and neither does Li Yu. The fact that the food team has not come does not mean that there is a problem in the Beida Camp. The problem may lie in the wasteland."
Master Huang Yang, who had been silent all this time, said: "I will go around the Eastern Wasteland and return to Chang'an first."
The queen said tiredly: "The president passed away and your majesty left. Once there is a big commotion, the whole world will be in turmoil. Donghuang is not peaceful at this time. Li Yu is a very smart girl. She will not fail to think of this. She knows Donghuang very well.
What's happening over there is something she's confident she can solve, but I'm worried she's underestimated the enemy."
Han Qing frowned and said: "Queen, do you think it is possible... that Her Royal Highness the Princess colluded with the Golden Horde to cut off the food route to Helan City?"
The queen shook her head and said: "Although Li Yu's vision is a little narrow, she knows that she is from the Tang Dynasty and cannot do such a thing... The changes in the Golden Tent Royal Court, in my opinion, are very
This is the method of Xiling Temple, but I believe she will be happy to see this."
…
…
Countless grassland cavalry appeared in the wilderness on the border of Yanjing.
The wilderness, which had been flooded by heavy rain for many days, was very moist. No matter how strong the wind blew, there was no dust flying. However, at this time, smoke and dust were billowing on the wilderness, rising straight into the sky. You can imagine how amazing the number of cavalry was.
Long Qing touched the silver mask on his face and looked towards the south of the Yan Kingdom's homeland. In his eyes, there was no shyness from the hometown, no emotion of returning wanderers, no flame of hatred, just indifference.
