Yang Peng withdrew his thoughts and looked at Ye Qi Guanyin. He saw her looking at him curiously and said with a smile: "I thought of some things in the past." Ye Qi Guanyin smiled.
Yang Peng thought: "Now that the Crusaders have captured the Seljuk capital, I am afraid that the Seljuk country will not be able to hold on for long!" Yeqi Guanyin nodded in agreement, "At this time, Khwarezm They suddenly attacked from the east. Unless a miracle occurs, Seljuk can hold on for at most one year." Then he smiled and said, "But these things have little to do with us now!"
Yang Peng smiled and nodded, glanced at Yeyi Guanyin, and said with a smile: "Our current energy is mainly to destroy Dali!" Yeyi Guanyin smiled and said: "First south then north, first east then west, this is the established policy , unless major changes occur, don't change easily." Yang Peng nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face, and said: "Dali, I don't know if the Duan family will make a wise choice, let us save some effort. ?”
Ye Qi Guanyin shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not."
Yang Peng looked at Ye Qi Guanyin and said with a smile: "Why are you so sure? The huge gap in strength between the two sides is obvious here. The Duan family of Dali should know that the result of stubborn resistance can only be a dead end! Since you know it is a dead end, why seek death? Road? If you surrender, not only will your wealth and life be saved, but you will also be able to keep endless glory and wealth that you can enjoy for a lifetime. One side is hell and the other side is heaven. Isn’t it very clear how to choose? "
Ye Qi Guanyin smiled and said: "I'm afraid those imperial families who are used to being aloof will find it difficult to accept the life of prisoners. Although people are very cowardly, they often become very crazy in the face of the supreme power! The Duan family wants to keep their hands. I am afraid that I will resist the imperial power to the end!"
Yang Peng smiled nonchalantly and said: "How to choose is a matter for the Duan family. If they insist on fighting a war with us, I have no choice but to help them! I just hope they can bear the pain of war by then!" Yeah! Qi Guanyin smiled and then asked: "Brother, let me lead the army in the expedition to Dali!"
Yang Peng said angrily: "When you talk like this, doesn't it mean that the plan I am implementing now will definitely fail?"
Ye Qi Guanyin laughed and said, "That's really what I think!"
Yang Peng raised his hand, looking threatening. Ye Qi Guanyin's pretty face blushed, and then her beautiful eyes showed a charming and wild charm. She puffed up her chest and said angrily: "You can do whatever you want! Anyway, I will never give in!" Yang Peng joked: "I don't know who I killed every night and begged for mercy!" Yedi Guanyin was greatly ashamed and said angrily: "Even if my body surrenders, my spirit will never surrender!" Yang Peng haha laughing out loud. Ye Qi Guanyin couldn't help but laugh, and then murmured angrily: "Damn man!" Then he thought of the topic just now, and said: "You haven't promised me yet!"
Yang Peng said with a smile: "Don't worry about this matter, let's take a look first. Even if we have to send troops, it will have to wait until next spring." After hearing what his elder brother said, Ye Qi Guanyin said nothing more.
Realized transfer to the capital of Dali.
During this period, rumors spread widely in Dali, and people were panicked. The news that Yan Yun's army is about to attack is no longer news. What makes everyone most uneasy are the rumors about the emperor and the general. There are rumors that the general is secretly planning a coup to replace the current emperor. The rumors are so well-founded that they even say that the general has secretly colluded with Yanyun in order to achieve this goal; other rumors say that the emperor believes that the general The general intends to rebel and is secretly planning an operation to eliminate the general. Because of these rumors, the people no longer dared to stay in the capital and flocked outside the city. The originally prosperous capital of Dali became deserted, desolate and desolate. The barking dogs gave people a sense of The feeling of a deserted mountain village makes people shudder.
The emperor was pacing back and forth in the study, with an anxious look on his face and a pair of bloodshot eyes. It was obvious that he had not had a good sleep for a long time.
There were footsteps outside the door, and the emperor immediately stopped and looked outside the door, only to see his daughter Qionghua walking in. The emperor's face showed disappointment, and then a look of annoyance came to his face, and he muttered words, looking fierce and angry.
Qionghua walked up to her father, bowed Yingying, and said: "Father,..."
The emperor asked angrily: "What are you doing here?"
Qionghua said worriedly: "I heard that my father is suspicious of my uncle..."
The emperor said angrily: "What suspicion? It's clear that he has evil intentions and intends to rebel!"
Qionghua said anxiously: "Father, how can you listen to the rumors in the market!"
The emperor snorted and said: "This kind of thing cannot come out of nowhere! If he is really loyal, why would there be such rumors in the market? If there are such rumors, it means that he has evil intentions!" Then he was extremely angry. He said with great sadness: "He is my biological brother, and I have always entrusted him with important responsibilities! In Dali, it can be said that his power is no less than that of the emperor like me! But people's hearts are evil, people's hearts are evil! He is so stubborn Satisfied, you actually want to get rid of my brother, replace him, and sit on the throne! How could he become like this, how could he become like this? "
Qionghua hurriedly said: "Father, please calm down. I absolutely believe that your uncle is loyal to your father! Those rumors, and the suspicions of my daughter and ministers, are all deliberately spread by Yan Yun's side, with the intention of disintegrating them. Fight and conquer the enemy's army!"
The emperor moved slightly, then looked at Qionghua, frowned and said, "If that's the case, then why did Duan Zhichun disobey the order and not come to see me? If he has no evil intentions, he should come and explain to me immediately!"
Qionghua said: "Father, I'm afraid that the emperor is also very frightened and confused now! The emperor must be worried that the emperor has heard those rumors and wants to take the opportunity to get rid of him!
The emperor moved slightly, and his restless and angry mood calmed down a lot.
Qionghuajian persuaded her father and continued: "These rumors spread in the city now are very deliberate. They appeared almost suddenly and spread throughout the city in a short period of time. It is obvious that someone is here. The result of deliberately adding fuel to the flames behind the scenes. It was intended to sow discord and cause internal strife between the father and the emperor's uncle. In this way, we in Dali will be in chaos without a fight!" The emperor felt that his daughter's words made sense and nodded gently. Then he frowned, looked at his daughter, and said, "But I can't completely give up my suspicion, and the Emperor certainly can't completely give up his worries! The two of us are suspicious of each other, how can we untie this knot!"
Qionghua said: "Father, the more times this happens, the more father must show kindness!"
The emperor said angrily: "Is it possible that you want me to go see him?" Then he waved his hands vigorously and said: "No, no, absolutely not! Although what you said is very reasonable, if there is an emergency, it would not be a pity for me to die, but Dali As a result, I fell into a place of no return, and I regretted it so much!”
Qionghua really wanted her father to meet her uncle in person. In this way, all the rumors would be disproven. However, her father was firmly opposed to it. As a woman and a minister, she couldn't force it, not to mention that she couldn't force it even if she forced it!
Qionghua pondered for a moment, raised her head and looked at her father, and said: "In this case, I have no choice but to ask my father to write a sincere letter, and my son will take it to the emperor's uncle. Maybe the emperor's uncle will see him, I can untie my heart and come to see my father." The emperor thought for a while and thought this was a good idea. He nodded, walked behind the desk, picked up a pen and wrote a sincere letter. When he was done, he folded it and put it in it. envelope, and stood up with the book han in hand. He walked up to Qionghua, handed the book Han to her, and said, "Daughter, please take your father on this trip."
Qionghua took the book with both hands and said, "My son, I will go see the emperor now." The emperor nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Qionghua shook her head and said, "What's the trouble? I just hope that my work can untie the knot between my father and my uncle." Then she bowed to her father and left.
Qionghua left the palace, boarded the carriage, and ran towards the palace with the support of maids and guards.
Soon after, Qionghua appeared in the hall of the palace, met the emperor's uncle Duan Zhichun, and said, "My niece has met the emperor's uncle!"
Duan Zhichun looked listless and asked, "What's the matter with you coming to the emperor's uncle?"
Qionghua said: "Father is very sad about the rumors currently spreading in the city." Duan Zhichun sighed and said: "Once upon a time, my brother and I were very close, but now we are strangers! Brother Huang no longer trusts us. Me, I also have many doubts about Brother Huang, alas!"
Qionghua frowned and said: "These rumors are clearly spread deliberately by Yanyun, with the intention of dismantling our Dali's fighting spirit!"
Duan Zhichun nodded with deep sympathy and praised: "That's right! This matter is very obvious, it is the conspiracy of the Yanyun people!" Then he sighed in frustration and said: "But the emperor doesn't think so. ah!"
Qionghua said: "Father sees it this way too!"
Duan Zhichun glanced at Qionghua, smiled, and said, "Really?" It was obvious from his look that he didn't believe Qionghua's words.
Qionghua took out the autographed letter that her father gave her, came forward, presented it to Duan Zhichun with both hands, and said: "Uncle, this is the autographed letter that my father asked me to bring to your uncle! After reading it, the emperor , you will understand!”
Duan Zhichun's expression moved, he quickly took the book cover, quickly opened it, took out the letter paper, unfolded it and started reading. Qionghua observed Duan Zhichun's expression and saw that he was moved, and then he looked very excited, and his hands began to tremble slightly. Qionghua couldn't help but feel that things were turning around.
Duan Zhichun finished reading the letter and murmured excitedly: "He actually still remembers that thing, he actually still remembers that thing!" After a moment of hesitation, he said decisively: "I'm going to see the emperor! I'm going to pay homage to the emperor." Brother, please forgive me!" Qionghua was overjoyed and said: "The emperor made the right choice!" But an aide said anxiously: "The king must not take risks easily! No one can guarantee that your majesty will not take advantage of the king's departure. King!"
Qionghua said: "My niece is willing to guarantee it with her life. If the father is unfavorable to the emperor's uncle, my niece is willing to pay with her life!"
When all the staff saw Princess Qionghua speaking like this, they couldn't help but feel shocked and no longer objected. Duan Zhichun said with full confidence: "I believe in the emperor's brother!" Then he ordered the staff: "Get ready immediately, I want to enter the palace to see the emperor's brother immediately!" The staff agreed and retreated.
Soon after, everything was ready, and Duan Zhichun left the palace and headed towards the palace surrounded by everyone. Duan Zhichun was surprised when he saw the desolate scene on the street, and asked: "How could it be like this?" Qionghua sighed and said: "The people are worried that if the emperor's uncle and his father fight, it will bring disaster to Chiyu. Many people have fled the capital." Duan Zhichun frowned and said in annoyance: "Yan Yun's army hasn't even arrived yet, but we ourselves have made such a mess!"
The team was marching along the main street, and the palace in the distance was already in sight.
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and screams began almost simultaneously. Duan Zhichun and Qionghua, who were sitting in the carriage, were startled and quickly opened the curtain. Suddenly, he saw many men in black shooting arrows at the houses on both sides, and the accompanying guards were shot down one after another, and screams were heard. Duan Zhichun and Qionghua were both shocked. Duan Zhichun looked at Qionghua and shouted angrily: "You are so insidious that you actually came up with such a plan!" Qionghua shook her head hurriedly: "No, it's not!"
At this time, there was a shout from outside. The men in black rushed out from both sides and ran into Duan Zhichun's guard team. They slashed fiercely, killing all the guards until their corpses were covered in blood. The guards were horrified and only felt These men in black are as fierce as devils!
In just a moment, most of the guards protecting Duan Zhichun were killed or injured. Duan Zhichun felt that he was doomed today!
At this moment, the sound of rushing footsteps and anxious shouts suddenly came from behind: "Quick! Quick! Save the king!" Duan Zhichun showed an expression of surprise and quickly turned his head to look behind him, only to see nearly a thousand people. The troops loyal to him rushed in under the leadership of a trusted general. Duan Zhichun laughed loudly and shouted excitedly: "God will not destroy me! God will not destroy me!"
The soldiers of the army rushed forward and launched a counterattack against the man in black. The man in black couldn't resist, threw down a few corpses and retreated hastily.
The general was about to lead his troops in pursuit, but Duan Zhichun shouted urgently: "Don't chase the poor enemy!" The general immediately ordered all troops to stop and protect Duan Zhichun on the spot.
Duan Zhichun looked at Qionghua angrily and said, "I'm so sorry, your conspiracy didn't succeed!"
Qionghua said hurriedly: "Uncle Huang, you misunderstood..."
Duan Zhichun impatiently held his hands for a moment and said angrily: "Okay! Stop pretending in front of me!" Qionghua's heart was in a mess, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
Duan Zhichun glanced at Qionghua and said: "I should have killed you, but for the sake of past friendship, I will let you go this time! There won't be another time! Get out of the car! "Qionghua wanted to explain, but when she saw the fierce and angry look on the emperor's uncle's face, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She knew that everything she said at this time was in vain. She sighed, stood up, opened the car curtain, and turned around and said: " Uncle Emperor, whether you believe it or not, I still have to say that I really don’t know what is going on!” Duan Zhichun’s expression softened a little and said: “Maybe. If this is the case, then my Emperor Brother, in order to get rid of me, he even sacrificed his own daughter!" Qionghua couldn't help but feel shocked when she heard this.
She didn't even know how she got off the carriage. She didn't come back to her senses until Duan Zhichun's team was far away. "Princess, what should we do now?" Qionghua's personal maid asked at a loss.
Qionghua frowned and said angrily: "Go to the palace!"
Qionghua burst into the imperial study room with anger on her face. The emperor who was talking to the general of the imperial guard was startled, and then shouted: "Why did you break in like this? It's so unruly!"
Qionghua was so angry that she ignored everything and went straight to the emperor and asked, "Father, why did you use me to ambush the emperor's uncle?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What are you talking about? I just received a report that your team was attacked on the street!" Qionghua calmed down and glanced at her father. He looked anxious and angry, as if this matter really had nothing to do with him, and asked: "Does this matter really have nothing to do with my father?"
The emperor had never been questioned like this before in his life. He immediately became angry and shouted: "You actually talk to my father like this, it's too presumptuous!"
Qionghua said anxiously: "Father, the situation is critical now. Tell me honestly, did you do this?"
The emperor said angrily: "I have already said that this matter has nothing to do with me! How many times do you want me to say it?"
Qionghua felt her head was a little confused, frowned and murmured: "If it wasn't the father, who would have done it?" Suddenly her heart moved, and she exclaimed: "Could it be from Yanyun!?" The emperor and Jin General Wei was shocked when he heard this. The General of the Imperial Guard said anxiously: "This is impossible! The border and the capital have already been under martial law. How could the Yanyun people sneak in?"
Qionghua felt that what the Imperial Guard General said made sense, but what happened to this ambush incident? If he is not from Yanyun, then he can only be his father? As soon as I thought about this, I couldn't help but glance at my father. Seeing my father's angry and annoyed look, it seemed that it really had nothing to do with him! If it's not the father, then what on earth is going on? Suddenly Qionghua's heart moved, and her face instantly turned pale!
Qionghua suddenly thought of a terrible possibility, which made her feel frightened and terrified. She thought that if this thing was neither done by the Yanyun people nor the emperor's father, then it was most likely a play written and directed by the emperor's uncle! Looking back now, many situations at that time are very suspicious. First of all, although the men in black attacked very fiercely, they did not shoot the carriage on which the emperor's uncle was riding when they launched a surprise attack with bows and arrows! This is the first doubt. The second doubt is that the emperor's rescue troops arrived too timely, right? How did they learn about the attack on the emperor's uncle in time and arrive in time?
If we were to receive emergency reports and come to the rescue after being attacked, this would be impossible in terms of time! The time between the attack and the arrival of rescue was very short. Normally, the news of the attack had not yet reached the palace, and rescue could not have arrived at the scene at that time! Rushing to the scene at that time can only show that they actually knew about the attack in advance, and the team had already left the palace and was waiting nearby!
When Qionghua thought of this, she felt more and more that this matter was too strange, and the emperor's uncle was full of suspicions.
"Mobilize troops and horses immediately to protect the palace!" the emperor ordered to the general of the imperial guard. The latter clasped his fists in agreement and was about to leave.
Qionghua came back to her senses and said urgently: "Wait a moment, Father! If we mobilize the army, this matter will be difficult to handle!"
The emperor said angrily: "If I don't mobilize my troops, what should I do if the rebels come to raid?"
Qionghua was stunned and asked: "Father, do you think this is a farce written and performed by the emperor's uncle?"
The emperor said: "Isn't this obvious? I didn't do it, and it's unlikely that I am from Yanyun, so he is the only one left! Humph, what he did was just to find a high-sounding excuse for rebellion! A wolf's ambition can be punished!" Qionghua felt that her father's words made sense. With this explanation of the matter, every link was in line. It seemed that the ambush incident this time was undoubtedly directed and acted by the emperor's uncle! But Qionghua still couldn't believe it. She felt that the emperor's uncle was not that kind of scheming, sinister and sinister person!
The emperor ignored Qionghua and said to the general of the imperial guards: "Immediately mobilize troops and horses according to my will!" The general of the imperial guards agreed and ran down. Seeing this scene, Qionghua became anxious and said urgently: "Father, think twice!" The emperor said: "I have already thought about it! It is Duan Zhichun who wants to rebel, and I have no choice!"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
