It's March 20th.
evening.
Dongxu City, the sunset fills the sky.
The imperial palace, harem, Qingxin Hall, and Xingyun Pavilion.
Zhang Jingzhong, the eunuch in charge of the palace, hurriedly walked into Xingyun Pavilion and came to the study.
Emperor Wu was standing in front of the writing desk, dipping his pen in an inkstone, then writing something carefully on a banner.
Zhang Jingzhong stood quietly behind Emperor Wu.
He knew that at this time, even if there was something big, he would have to wait until the emperor finished writing it before he could say it out loud.
Wu Di did not look back.
With one stroke of his pen, he wrote a banner in just a few breaths.
But when he dipped his pen in heavy ink, he still didn't put pen to paper on the second banner...because he didn't know what to write.
This is a couplet!
He thought that he had figured out the upper and lower couplets of the couplet, but when he was writing the couplet, he suddenly discovered that the lower and upper couplets did not correspond to each other.
Thinking to the left is not beautiful, thinking to the right is not good either.
After ten breaths passed like this, he suddenly sighed and put the pen in his hand on the pen holder.
Not after all.
Don't force it.
"Say it...!"
Zhang Jingzhong bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Xiaoxian, the commander-in-chief of the Black Guards...is back!"
In fact, he only said half of this sentence, but Emperor Wu’s waist gradually straightened?——
On the fifth day of March, he ordered Wei Xiaoxian, the commander of the black-clad guards in the Imperial Palace, to lead people to recover Xue Zhaoyi.
Originally, this matter was supposed to be completed soon, but today it is already March 20th!
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Jingzhong said that Wei Xiaoxian was back!
He didn't say that Xue Zhaoyi was back!
This naturally means that Wei Xiaoxian did not catch up with Xue Susu's motorcade!
I even lost it!
As Wei Xiaoxian, one of the few masters in the Jishufang and a half-step grand master, he should not be unable to catch up with Xue Zhaoyi even if he started a few hours late.
Emperor Wu seemed to be much older at this moment.
Emperor Wu's feelings for Xue Susu were completely different in his heart!
Xue Susu is the first woman in his life!
The first one is often the one that is most memorable, and it is also often the one that really puts your heart into it!
Emperor Wu had even thought about it long ago. After he abdicated, he would take Xue Susu to travel around the world.
First, it was to make up for the grievances Xue Susu had suffered over the years.
Secondly...he sincerely likes to be with Xue Susu.
That's a simple woman.
By her side, Emperor Wu would feel extremely relaxed.
When he learned that Ning Guo's Yufeng Guard and Xuanjia Camp passed by Prince Ping's fiefdom quietly, he guessed something.
But he did not give an order to Wei Xiaoxian to kill Xue Susu.
He still hopes to bring Xue Susu back.
But now...she is really gone!
Emperor Wu's heart suddenly felt empty, and a moment later a surge of anger arose.
He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
He put his hands behind his back and raised his head and sighed, "Peach blossoms are red, willow leaves are green, catkins are flying... fell into the stream... the girl in clothes by the stream..."
He said nothing more.
Zhang Jingzhong behind him had already bowed down.
Zhang Jingzhong knew the meaning of some words.
He did not expect that after thirty-nine years, the emperor would not forget what happened in the peach and willow forest with Xue Zhaoyi in Chu State.
"emperor……"
Emperor Wu waved his hand and slowly turned around.
Just as he turned around, the decadence on his face disappeared.
He is the majestic emperor who rules the world again!
"So, Chu Tianji is really from Chu State?"
"Back to the emperor, this..."
"It doesn't matter anymore!"
Emperor Wu slowly walked to the tea table and sat down slowly.
"When spring comes, Yannan returns. Susu has been living here for so many years... If she wants to go back, she should go back."
"It's just that in my life, I value family ties very much. Regarding my sons, I... understand them and their respective abilities."
"Even if I want to cut down the vassal vassal, how can I make them suffer?"
"But now the development of this matter has exceeded my expectations."
"Since Xue Zhaoyi will not return... then my eldest son, Prince Ping Wu Hui, will rebel!"
"This is something I never want to see!"
"But for this country..."
Emperor Wu's face became extremely serious, "Draw up the decree!"
"Old slave, you obey!"
"Follow Beifu General Wu Li..."
Zhang Jingzhong's heart skipped a beat, thinking that the emperor was going to attack Prince Ping?
But what he never expected was that Emperor Wu’s imperial edict was not like this——
"The Great General of Beifu, Wu Ji, will immediately lead Beifu's 100,000-strong army to Jianshan Mountain to encircle and destroy all the Ning troops in Jianshan Mountain!"
Zhang Jingzhong's eyes widened immediately, but after counting his breath, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty... you are wise!"
It’s not the emperor’s mercy!
Because Prince Ping’s fiefdom is within Beifu!
Prince Ping has been a feudal lord for more than twenty years!
Although the imperial court has an express decree strictly prohibiting the vassal princes from interacting with border troops from various places, after all, this is a place far away from the emperor, and no one can guarantee what kind of activities they will have in private.
Prince Ping Wu Hui is not only excellent in martial arts, he is also extremely accomplished in military strategy!
He is a rare warrior!
If there really was that unimaginable deal between him and Wu Li, it would be equivalent to gaining an additional 100,000 troops for nothing!
Wu Li was asked to lead troops to kill him, but a mistake forced him to immediately rebel.
Transferring Wu Li's troops away from Beifu is the best strategy!
But who will the emperor send to deal with Prince Ping?
Emperor Wu didn't say anything.
What Emperor Wu said was: "Stay a while and accompany me out of the palace for a walk."
Zhang Jingzhong asked cautiously: "Where does the emperor want to go?"
"Xia Guogong's Mansion!"
"Old slave, I obey."
"Hmm... How long does it take for the Condor Army to arrive at Siliangshi Camp?"
"It will take roughly five days to return to the emperor."
"What is the prince doing these days?"
"Back to the Emperor, His Royal Highness is busy with the Dragon Guard."
Emperor Wu pondered for ten breaths, "How many people are there in the Dragon Guard Army?"
"A thousand people...are all masters of the martial arts world, and most of them come from the Xuanwu Hall in the martial arts world."
Emperor Wu frowned slightly: "I seem to have heard of Xuanwu Hall?"
"...Your Majesty, Xuanwu Hall was originally played by the fourth prince, Prince Jade, when he was still in Kyoto. Later, when the fourth prince left the vassal, the Xuanwu Hall was left to Qiu Jiulou of Qiuzhuang to take care of."
"Oh...I know. I will write a letter and send someone to secretly deliver it to Wu Chang. Remember, hand it to him personally."
Zhang Jingzhong was surprised again.
Because this seems to be the emperor's distrust of the prince!
"Old slave obeys the order!"
"Is there any news from the Xijian Building?"
"Back to the emperor, he said that many experts came to Xijian Tower a few days ago, most of them are people from the Ning Kingdom. In addition... the eldest princess was with Qiu Chen and also appeared in Xijian Tower... I heard that they found Killed their child!"
Wu Di raised his head and frowned, "The child is still alive? What is his name?"
"Go back to the emperor and say his name is Amu!"
"...I know, are they still in the Xijian Tower now?"
"No, they said they entered the Sword Mountain from the underground river under the Cloud Valley a few days ago...it was supposed to be to save Li Chenan!"
Emperor Wu pondered for a moment and stood up.
He walked a few steps back and forth in the study, then paused and murmured: "Could it be that there is really a way out at Wangqingtai?"
"If there is a way to survive, why haven't any of the disciples of the Xijian Tower who entered the Forgetting Platform for thousands of years come out?"
"If there is no way to survive...how can they go in?"
Zhang Jingzhong bowed at this time and said: "Your Majesty, I think there is a way for me to survive."
"What's the reason?"
"There was once a story about the Peach Blossom Spring spread in the Dali Empire."
Emperor Wu was suddenly startled, but he shook his head for a moment: "But the story also said that the Peach Blossom Land was destroyed by an earth dragon."
Zhang Jingzhong pondered for three breaths: "Although the earth dragon has turned over, and the Peach Blossom Spring no longer exists, there is still a platform for forgetting love!"
"Since there is an underground river flowing out, maybe the earth dragon is at the bottom of the mountain, which is a way out!"
Emperor Wu stroked his short beard, thought for a long time, and said:
"Order Wei Xiaoxian to lead the masters of the secret guards to go in and have a look!"
Zhang Jingzhong bowed in agreement, hesitated for a moment but still asked: "Then...if Wei Xiaoxian really met the eldest princess...?"
Emperor Wu did not answer this sentence.
"I'm a little tired."
He turned and left Xingyun Pavilion. Zhang Jingzhong looked at Emperor Wu's back and sighed inwardly. He turned around and walked towards the writing desk to prepare the edict, but his eyes fell on the banner——
Dawu suddenly hears the bell, and the teaching is blurred by the mist and rain, so people should wake up!
