Liu Mingzhi felt the queen's extremely distrustful gaze and rubbed his nose angrily.
"Why are you mentioning it after so many years have passed? Didn't you lie to me about ginseng king and eat it like a carrot? I didn't say anything at all!"
"Can that be the same? I'm a woman, and giving you carrots is also an advantage for you. It's me who will suffer after all, okay?"
"If you say that, we can't continue the conversation. I'd better deal with the letters!"
The queen looked at the wound on Liu Mingzhi's shoulder that had stopped bleeding and then put away the golden sore medicine.
"Heartless, tell the truth to Wanyan. In addition to the Dalong, Jin, Turks, Goguryeo, and the Western Regions, Wanyan doesn't know if there is a vast world.
For example, this fool who appeared out of nowhere following Spiesmult... Kill me... What country is he from? "
"Tsarist Russia!"
"Yes, it is Tsarist Russia. In addition to Tsarist Russia, are there many territories beyond the oceans marked on the map in your study?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded without hesitation: "That's right, Jiang He, my adopted brother, went to the West several times just to explore the way... um... make friends with all nations!"
"hypocritical."
The Queen rolled her eyes at Young Master Liu, muttered and walked towards the map hanging behind the sand table.
Upon seeing this, Liu Mingzhi shook his head slightly, lowered his head and began to process the letter from the relevant department.
It was February 21, the third year of Dalong Yongping.
The explanation between Xia Gongming and Liu Chengzhi has not yet reached a conclusion. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Northern Expedition rushed to the outside of Yingzhou City under the leadership of Yunyang.
Suddenly, the situation of Dalong, which had been stable for a while, became serious again.
All eyes were on the hundreds of thousands of troops in the east, west and north directions of Yingzhou City.
Outside Yingzhou City, Yunyang turned over and dismounted with a tired look, looking at the Sixth Guards of the New Army camped in the wilderness to the north of Yingzhou City with somewhat surprised eyes.
Although it was learned from Nangong Ye's biography that Liu Chengzhi, the Prince of Bingjian, had only hastily inherited the throne with the support of 200,000 cavalry after his return to the court, there was no intention of raising troops to rebel.
But after seeing it with his own eyes, Yunyang couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and even more pleased.
Perhaps Liu Chengzhi really just wanted to seek justice for his father's assassination, and had no intention of raising an army to rebel.
"Commander, this has been the situation for the past 20 days. Now Chengzhi has inherited the throne. After he returned with his troops, he has been stationed outside Yingzhou City and Yingzhou City with the general and the troops under Zhang Mo's commander. The water from the well does not interfere with the water from the river.
In addition to training soldiers and horses every day, he discussed with Mr. Xia, the imperial censor, on how the imperial court should explain the assassination of King Bingjian. "
Yunyang retracted his gaze from looking at the Sixth Guards Camp of the New Army and turned to look at Nangong Ye.
"How is Old Man Xia's discussion with King Cheng...Bingjian going? Is there a charter from the imperial court?"
"The general is not clear yet. Although Chengzhi does not prohibit the general from entering and leaving the camp of the Sixth Guards of the New Army, he prohibits the general from approaching the camp with Zhang Fushuai every time he discusses with Mr. Xia. .”
Yunyang pondered for a long time and looked at Nangong Ye with complicated eyes.
"King Bingjian has really... passed away?"
Nangong Ye hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly: "At the end of half a month, I will board the city in a hanging basket and go to the palace to pay my respects to the king's coffin.
The coffin was densely covered with silk in the palace, and together with the letters from the capital, it was very likely that King Bingjian had really passed away. "
Yunyang's old and sharp eyes flickered, and he let out a long sigh.
"Heaven is jealous of talented people.
After spending half his life assisting three emperors and serving the country loyally, he should not have ended up like this.
Follow me to visit Old Man Xia and see what the imperial court means.
After Liu Chengzhi succeeded to the throne, he was just as benevolent and righteous as his father. He did not start wars indiscriminately because of the hatred of his late father, which plunged our Dalong into civil strife that made the people miserable.
This child can inherit the throne, which is a blessing for Northern Xinjiang and a blessing for the world.
He can put his family and country first, but the court must come up with a reasonable explanation no matter what.
However, King Pingjian was assassinated on his way to Beijing following the imperial edict. If the imperial court did not give a reasonable explanation, not only the crown prince Liu Chengzhi and his 300,000 cavalry, but also the rest of our soldiers would not be able to be convinced. "
Nangong Ye struggled with his eyes, looked around and moved closer to Yunyang.
"Commander, do you really think His Majesty was behind this?"
Yunyang hesitated for a long time and sighed: "Let's see the results. There is no use in making wild guesses."
"That's right, let's go to Mr. Xia's place to find out more about him first!
See what news he found out. "
Yunyang and dozens of generals under his command rushed towards the gate of Yingzhou City.
The Sixth Guards Camp of the New Army.
Liu Chengzhi and more than 30 generals behind him stood outside the camp and watched as Gumo Rongrong and a group of generals from the Western Regions behind her came forward.
"My child Liu Chengzhi!"
"Liu Chengfeng!"
"Liu Chengqian!"
"See Aunt Rongrong!"
"We have met King Gumo."
"No gifts, no gifts at all!"
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"Thank you, King Gumo!"
"Aunt Rongrong, daddy..."
Gumo Rongrong looked at the expectant eyes of her three brothers and looked at Liu Song aside.
Liu Song knew that the young master was not in danger more than ten days ago, and also received the next order. He noticed Gumo Rongrong's gaze and shook his head cryptically.
Gumo Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief: "Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Chengqiang, my aunt doesn't know what's going on with your father. Now you just listen to the instructions of the six uncles."
The three brothers were stunned for a moment and nodded hesitantly.
"Auntie, we understand. Auntie has been tired all the way. Please rest in the tent with the children."
Gumo Rongrong nodded gently: "Good boy, I will listen to you."
The next day, two carriages came from nowhere and drove into the camp of the Sixth Guards of the New Army in full view of everyone.
The news inevitably reached the ears of Yunyang and the others.
About half a day after the carriage entered the camp, Liu Chengzhi, Liu Chengfeng, and Liu Chengqian rode alone to the gate of Yingzhou City and asked Xia Gongming, the imperial censor, to come to the city to meet him.
After a few sticks of incense, Xia Gongming leaned forward and looked under the city wall.
Looking at the three brothers who were riding horses and looking towards the city wall, their old eyes were full of debt.
The imperial court's letter had arrived in Xia Gongming's hands three days ago.
But when Xia Gongming saw the content of the court's reply, he really didn't know how to explain the court's reply to his three brothers.
The assassination of King Bingjian was the result of a dying counterattack by the enemy armies of Jin and Turkmenistan, who were struggling to survive. They sent people to assassinate King Bingjian, in order to prevent the imperial court and northern Xinjiang from falling into civil strife due to this incident, so they encircled Wei and rescued Zhao, taking the opportunity to relieve the crisis in the territory.
Is it reasonable? That makes sense!
Is it reasonable? Reasonable!
The answer the imperial court asked him to give to the new King Bingjian seemed reasonable and without any loopholes.
However, the royal guards had made the truth about King Bingbian's assassination known to the public as early as a month ago. Not only the people in the city knew it, but it also reached the ears of King Bingbian's legitimate son Liu Chengzhi and the soldiers of the Sixth Guards of the New Army, proving that the imperial court was indeed responsible for the assassination. Fengyundu took action and King Bingbian was assassinated.
It is completely unreasonable and unreasonable to insist that the soldiers under King Bingjian framed the imperial court.
After all, the prince's personal guards have the courage for no reason. They dare to testify about this without any reason. It is His Majesty who was behind the scenes.
They are soldiers of the imperial court. How could they break up with the imperial court without any basis and accuse His Majesty of injustice?
Now that the court asked him to reply to the new King Liu Chengzhi like this, Xia Gongming really didn't know how to calm the anger of the new King Liu Chengzhi.
"Mr. Xia, how did the court respond to the assassination of my father? Why didn't you say anything for so long?"
Xia Gongming glanced at Yunyang, who was also worried beside him.
"Commander Yun, you have also read the contents of the court letter. What do you think I should say?"
Yunyang couldn't bear to look away from the three brothers under the city wall.
"State it truthfully!"
Yunyang knew in his heart that there could be an explanation, but no matter whether His Majesty was behind the scenes or not, the matter could not be pinned on His Majesty.
We can only find a way around it.
After receiving the confessions from the three thousand personal guards of the side by side king, Yunyang himself was inevitably a little disheartened, but even if it was not for the imperial court, but for the sake of all the people in the world, this matter had to be suppressed.
Glancing at the gloomy-looking generals behind him, he knew that they, like him, were somewhat chilled by the court's answer after hearing the testimony of King Bingjian's personal guards.
He could only sigh silently.
Emperor Weihe's behavior towards General Jin Yi happened again.
Although King Bingjian did not come forward to confirm it in person, many generals could no longer tolerate their wild thoughts.
Xia Gongming looked at Yunyang's helpless expression and took a deep breath. He knew that Yunyang, like himself, did not want to see living beings in ruins, so he looked at the three brothers with complicated emotions.
"Your Majesty, the two young masters, although the king came to the capital on orders...
Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions in the two countries, Jin and Turkmenistan, and hopes that the three of them will show their condolences and accept the change. "
After listening to Yunyang's words, the three brothers looked at each other silently, as if they already knew the answer.
He nodded slightly to Yunyang, turned his horse and galloped towards the camp of the Sixth Guard of the New Army.
Yunyang and the others, who were left with frowning brows, stopped on the city wall and tensed up.
About half an hour.
Liu Mingzhi sat on a chair and looked at the contents of the letter sent back by Liu Song, with a helpless smile on his lips.
"My child, you were taught by me, am I not clear about what you are thinking?
You, after all, you are smart but you are misled by your cleverness. When your heart is cold, it will not be so easy to warm it up again.
Sit back and wait for chaos in the world! "
PS: There will be what you want to see tomorrow!
