The news of Chang Yu's sudden illness quickly spread in a small area. Of course, everyone who knew about it was the big shots in Beijing. It caused a lot of fluctuations in an instant. The mysterious eunuch who was regarded as the God of War could also fall ill. ?
So soon, messy news spread. The reason why Chang Yu was so powerful was because he often took the elixir refined by the Taoist priest around him. However, the elixir had poisonous side effects. Now he was extremely poisoned, and he was not very good at it. It’s time to return to the west.
The fluctuations immediately turned into huge waves. Is this controversial eunuch going to die?
Will he really die?
What would happen if he died?
What can I do, relatives and enemies will be happy.
There are countless people in the capital eagerly looking forward to his death.
Of course, there are also many people who are extremely frightened and afraid of his death, such as the royal family.
After Emperor Chongzhen received the retribution, he immediately summoned Chunxiang into the palace for questioning. Chunxiang described his condition and said that he had been falling asleep after taking medicine. Emperor Chongzhen was extremely surprised. How could he be a man who could recover from his injuries? He was going to be sick, so he asked the imperial doctor to see him.
As a result, the imperial doctor couldn't figure out what the problem was, and finally reported it to the emperor with Li Muxian's conclusion: convulsions and cold evil entered the body. Emperor Chongzhen began to have random thoughts in his mind. There was evil everywhere in this guy, and it was rumored that he was a drug addict. Pill poisoning...still killed too many people...
In the end, Wu Mengming was asked to accompany the prince Zhu Cihong to visit, but Chang Yu remained drowsy.
Zhu Cixiang was not in a hurry at all. Chang Yu was a god in his heart. How could a god be sick? He was just tired. After all, in the past few months, he had been out of Beijing to patrol around the world, non-stop heading south to Yunnan, and back to Beijing to go to the Military Industry Bureau. In a few days, even the Iron Man will fall... Anyway, no matter what the reason, he will not die.
The prince went back and told his father this, but Emperor Chongzhen was still worried. Chang Yu was now the backbone of him and the Ming Dynasty, and there was no room for any mistakes. The intruders and thieves had not been killed yet, and there were still Tatars waiting for him to deal with. Well, if something happens to him, Daming will most likely return to the original quagmire.
Only at this time did he truly realize the importance of Chang Yu, and because of this, he felt particularly frightened and worried, so he left the palace to visit Chang Mansion in person.
But Chang Yu was still sleeping. Why couldn't he wake up after two days? Emperor Chongzhen felt very uneasy, but Li Muchian explained that the medicine he prescribed had a calming and hypnotic effect, and he would be able to sleep for two or three days. It was normal, but the sickness went away as soon as I woke up.
Emperor Chongzhen said to him: "What you are saying is that you prescribe the medicine and you cure the disease. If he makes a mistake, I will destroy your whole family, no, I will also destroy your Taoist family!"
Li Muxian almost peed his pants on the spot.
The news that Chang Yu had been in a coma for two days spread, causing all kinds of indecision, which also attracted big bosses from all over the world to come to visit. Some of them were really concerned and some just wanted to find out what was going on.
However, no matter their identity or what purpose they came with, they were all blocked from the door: no one was allowed to visit, according to the emperor's order. Moreover, the surrounding area of Chang Mansion is full of people from Dongchang Guard and Jinyi Guard, making it difficult for anyone to get close.
Some people had a small idea to buy some information from the servants of Changfu, but they were disappointed again. The servants of Changfu were tight-lipped. They knew the consequences of leaking the secrets of the master's family. After all, the master's family was not ordinary people, but belonged to Dongchang. Great eunuch!
What's more, they didn't have any materials to sell at all. The room where Chang Yu was located was filled with close servants and confidants. Several great masters were in charge, and the servants couldn't even enter the yard. They made medicine, fed them, and took care of their daily life.
The news of Chang Yu's illness was not deliberately concealed, so it started with a small group of people and gradually made it known to everyone in the government and the public. Because of its reputation, the impact was naturally huge, even to ordinary people in Beijing and even refugee camps. This matter was discussed. Some people sighed, some people were worried, and some people cheered. Anyway, everyone thought and said whatever they wanted.
But I didn't expect that there would be people setting off firecrackers to celebrate. In the past few days, the sound of firecrackers has been going on in the city, and there were even theater troupes setting up the stage to sing and make it very lively. People who have good intentions are wondering, this eunuch is not dead yet, who is so bold? Dare to make such a fuss in an open and aboveboard manner, and we are not even part of the same family.
As a result, after asking about it, hey, it was not to celebrate the illness of the eunuch, but to celebrate. It turned out that the group of nobles who had been imprisoned in Dongchang for several months were released one after another, including Zhou Kui, the current emperor of the country. .
It's bad luck to be released from prison, so you can't say anything if someone sets off firecrackers to please the troupe. As for whether they will take the opportunity to celebrate the young eunuch's illness or curse him for a bad death, no one knows.
On the third day after Chang Yu fell ill, Li Yan, thousands of miles away in Puzhou City, received a secret edict from the capital. After reading it, he was speechless for a long time. Gu Junen next to him couldn't help but asked: "Does the imperial court agree? Already?"
Li Yan shook his head lightly: "The imperial court did not express rejection or agreement, but asked Li Chuang to show sincerity and send people to the capital to discuss the matter."
Gu Junen frowned: "This is more like a peace negotiation, otherwise the court would have ignored it or flatly rejected it. On the surface, the court wanted Li Chuang to go to the capital to persuade them with sincerity, but in fact it was to give himself a step down. After all, no matter who looks at it, peace brings the greatest benefit.” As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh: "If he becomes a minister in the same palace in the future, it will be very embarrassing to meet each other, and we may even be poisoned by him."
"Mr. Gu's inference about the court may be good, but you have ignored one of the most critical issues." Li Yan chuckled, and Gu Junen was startled: "Please ask Li Shuai for some advice."
"Lord Governor" Li Yan narrowed his eyes: "Nowadays, the people in the court who control the government affairs are still the cabinet ministers who are the head of the hundred officials, but the Lord Governor of Dongchang has the most say and decision-making power in military affairs! In short, it is up to him to decide whether to fight or negotiate peace. From what I can infer, the Governor is in charge of the war."
Gu Junen frowned again: "Why do you think so? Besides, this military affairs also belong to the government. Although the governor is good at fighting, he cannot be a man of his words."
Li Yan smiled: "If it hadn't been for Princess Du Zhan, what I received would not have been the secret decree today. Instead, I would have directly stated the arrangements for the peace talks, and the courtiers had come to discuss the matter. But because military affairs also belong to the government, Lord Du Gong cannot sum it up in one word, so that’s why Mr. Gu said he was asking for trouble. In fact, Lord Du Gong is retreating in order to advance. This matter cannot be reconciled! Lord Du Gong is definitely setting up a game of chess!"
Li Yan learned from the Jin Yiwei who sent the letter that Chang Yu had returned to Beijing. Although Chang Yu didn't say a word to him, he guessed it just based on tacit understanding.
If peace cannot be reached on this matter, there will definitely be a war with Li Chuang! The commander's tent is on a cliff in the military camp. From a high position, he can see the Yellow River in the distance. Snow is everywhere as far as he can see.
The Yellow River has been frozen, which makes the defense of the two armies more complicated and difficult. After all, the other side can sneak in a troop of troops to cause trouble at any time, but since Chang Yu killed several people in and out last time, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have been peaceful. However, this does not affect the two sides' closer defense.
There are more and more patrol teams on both sides of the Yellow River, and the density is getting higher and higher. Any disturbance on the river can cause tension between the two parties.
Chaoyi County on the other side of the Yellow River on the other side of Puzhou City is the bridgehead of the rebels. There are nearly two thousand soldiers stationed in the small town with a radius of two miles. They are the frontline rebels responsible for monitoring every move of the officers and soldiers of Puzhou City on the other side and the defense of the Yellow River.
Chaoyi City was originally built on the rocks on the bank of the Yellow River. It was very close to the Yellow River. The sentry post on the top of the city could easily see the river for several miles. At this time, it was discovered that a few people had slipped down from the other bank and they quickly warned.
However, these people were obviously not trying to lurk here. They did not sneak carefully with the help of rocks or trees, but walked down openly. They were obviously not spies, and spies usually sneaked in at night.
When those few people walked to the middle of the river, they stopped and kept waving. The thief knew that they were here to convey news, so he sent people down to the river to communicate. After a while, they got a letter. The guard opened it and immediately sent someone to the river. People go to Xi'an.
