After the court meeting ended, the content of the 800-mile urgent pond report spread rapidly.
Every Beijing official is spreading the word, and no one speaks in a low voice, behind closed doors. Disseminated in a swift and depressive manner.
Before that, there were layers upon layers of vermilion walls in the imperial palace, and Jingxiu Palace where Concubine Chen lived.
Lin'an, who has a bright face and charming and affectionate eyes, has just paid his respects to his mother and concubine, and stays in Jingxiu Palace to talk with her.
Concubine Chen drank health-preserving tea, looked at her bright and charming daughter, and sighed:
"Wei Yuan led the army to the expedition, and it will be another coveted military achievement This Wei Yuan is the biggest threat to your crown prince brother's position in the East Palace, but it is also the crown prince's most stable cornerstone."
Lin'an took a sip of tea, dyed his small mouth delicate and moist, and did not respond.
As a princess, she is obviously unqualified, but under the influence of her ears and eyes, her level is a little bit, and it is not difficult to understand the meaning of what the concubine mother said.
There is no doubt that Wei Yuan supports the fourth prince, because Wei Yuan is an eunuch from Fengqi Palace.
However, Wei Yuan is also the most stable "cornerstone" for the prince. His father is suspicious, and Wei Yuan's achievements are so high that it is naturally impossible for the fourth prince to be the prince.
Concubine Chen said with emotion: "It would be great if Wei Yuan could die on the battlefield."
Hearing this sentence, Lin'an frowned, not because he was dissatisfied with his mother concubine for cursing Wei Yuan, but she had no friendship with Wei Yuan.
She just felt that when the concubine mother said this, her tone and expression were full of certainty in hope, yes, it was certainty.
It seems to know something, but before the final conclusion is made, I am a little apprehensive and afraid to be completely sure.
The second princess with a girlish innocence, of course, does not have a deep level of observation and observation, but the woman in front of her is her biological mother, and she is one of the people she is most familiar with.
Just chatting, the light outside the door was blocked, the prince stepped over the threshold, hurried in, and shouted: "Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine"
Lin'an turned his head and saw his brother entering the room. His expression was very complicated, with regret mixed with excitement, and sorrow precipitated in joy.
Concubine Chen smiled and said, "Prince, please sit down."
Greet the maid to make tea for the prince.
The prince waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need it, and sent the maid away, sat down on the soft edge covered with bright yellow silk, paused for a long time, and then said slowly:
"Mother Concubine, Wei Yuan died in battle in the Northeast."
The expressions of the mother and daughter froze at the same time, and after a few seconds, two completely different expressions appeared.
Lin'an's face was slightly pale, and the shock was mixed with confusion and worry.
Concubine Chen was in ecstasy. The joy was so great that her body trembled slightly, and her tone also trembled: "Really?!"
The crown prince nodded and gave an affirmative answer: "The urgent document arrived last night at 800 li. This morning, my father held an impromptu meeting to discuss the matter. The news of Wei Yuan's death in battle will soon spread throughout the capital. With an army of 100,000, only With more than 16,000 people withdrawn, I have suffered heavy losses in this battle."
Concubine Chen's face was flushed with excitement, her face was full of spring, even though her son and daughter had already grown up, she still had a unique charm and did not look old at all.
"As long as you can ascend to the throne, what are the necessary sacrifices?" Concubine Chen said loudly.
It seems to be educating the prince, and it seems to be comforting himself.
The crown prince nodded, and sighed again: "It's a pity that Wei Yuan died. This person had a strong outlook on the overall situation. I once hoped that after he ascended the throne in the future, he would accept the reality and serve the palace."
There were only three flesh-and-blood people present, and the prince did not shy away from speaking.
"Prince, your biggest problem is that you like to be whimsical, and you like to look forward to some impossible things."
Concubine Chen reprimanded, with a smile on her charming face, she said: "Let's stay in Jingxiu Palace for lunch, and drink a few cups with concubine mother. After Wei Yuan died, concubine mother's heart disease was finally cured, and she felt relaxed."
The prince also laughed: "Okay, today my son will have a good drink with my mother and concubine."
Lin'an looked at them silently, looking at the two people connected by her blood, she suddenly felt intense sadness.
This kind of sadness stems from loneliness, what they say, what they do, what they are happy about, what they are angry about It is difficult for her to identify and empathize as before.
I don't know when, I have drifted away from them
Not long after the morning court ended, a note passed through secret channels layer by layer, and finally fell into the hands of the chief guard of Dexin Garden.
He opened it to see
In the barracks below the city, more than 10,000 soldiers suddenly heard strong cheers erupting from the top of the city, and the noise was like boiling.
Some of them ran out of the camp, some reined in their horses, some stopped their work, and turned their heads to look at the city.
They heard countless cheers, merged into one voice:
Xu Yingong!
For the "dragons without a leader" Dafeng soldiers, the three words Xu Yinluo is a shot in the arm, a backbone, and a guiding light for them to no longer be confused.
Since ancient times, the leaders have always been people with high prestige
In the military tent.
"Duke Wei brought five golden gongs to the battle, why are you the only one who came to see me, what about the others?"
Seeing Zhang Kaitai who had been away for many days, Xu Qi'an asked in a calm tone.
Zhang Kaitai, who hadn't shaved for a long time, said softly:
"Dead, all died in the main altar of the Witch God Cult. Some fought against the wizard, and some were affected by the devastating battle and died on the spot. Among the fourth rank, only Chen Ying and I withdrew back."
After a long absence, Xu Qi'an had the urge to smoke. He collected himself and said softly, "Where is Mr. Wei?"
Zhang Kaitai looked at him. This young man had a calm expression and a stable mood. He seemed very calm.
However, when Zhang Kaitai met those bright eyes, he subconsciously avoided them.
He looked aside and said, "We failed to bring him back."
Xu Qi'an's body shook.
After a long silence, she slowly let out a breath: "Tell me what happened, starting with your expedition."
Zhang Kaitai nodded, and said: "Actually, I have only come to understand many things now, for example, why Duke Wei has to fight so urgently, because from the beginning, we will not have food and grass."
"No food?"
Xu Qian's pupils shrank slightly.
One hundred thousand people go out to fight, without food?
Is this a war, or is it sending people to death, is Yuan Jing crazy? Are you mad?
Do you really want Wei Gong to die so much?
"After the brothers withdrew, Chen Ying led a team to behead all the officials of the Sanzhou Household Department in a fit of rage. Hundreds of people were killed. Then he returned to Beijing with a hundred men and horses."
Zhang Kaitai shook his head: "He wants to confront His Majesty, and the princes."
Zhang Kaitai eloquently said that after the expedition, Wei Yuan secretly divided his troops, some of them went overland, attacked the city and pulled out the village, and captured the Yan Kingdom in the shortest time possible.
However, it was hindered by the city wall of Yandu, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
?Although Yandu was not captured, Duke Wei's goal had been achieved and the troops of Yan and Kang were held back.
All the way until Wei Yuan summoned Confucian saint phantom to fight desperately with the witch god until he died in battle.
It's him, it's him, it's Joan of Arc Xu Qi'an's face twisted.
After listening to Zhang Kaitai's description, he was very sure that the mysterious master who joined forces with the Witch God Cult to kill Wei Yuan was the late Emperor Joan of Arc. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
