A woman's intuition told her that there must be a hidden secret. But expecting Pei Ju and Yu Shiji to tell the truth was tantamount to wishful thinking. Suppressing her suffocating heartbeat, Empress Xiao continued to ask: "He didn't tell Guan Cheng and Yu Shiji

Did Hulao ask for help? Or Wang Bian and Pei Renji didn’t respond after asking for help.”

"It was the decree from Dongdu that ordered Wang Bian and Pei Renji to stay put and be ready to capture General Li at any time. So General Li did not break out towards Xingyang, but sent the county soldiers away first, and then took his soldiers with him.

He went straight to the ferry of the Yellow River. At the ferry, he was entangled by bandits, and the two sides fought fiercely for a day and a night. According to the report of Wang Bian, who stayed behind to guard the city, General Li was defeated in the end. He refused to be humiliated by the enemy and jumped with his horse and men.

Entered the Yellow River!"

Wherever he could be confused, Pei Ju tried his best to explain to him. According to the messenger, it was revealed privately that it was Dongdu who sent Duan Da, Liu Changgong and other important ministers to lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to block Li Xu's retreat, and the Wagang army took advantage of the situation to fight back.

The road soldiers and horses formed an encirclement against General Li. Seeing that the situation was over, General Li did not want to let the county soldiers die in vain, so he took the initiative to give orders to the commanders of the county soldiers, asking them to lead the county soldiers through the defense lines of Duan Da and others.

Returning home. Later, four thousand Boling cavalry were outnumbered and were strangled by two Wagang armies on the south bank of the Yellow River.

But these words cannot be told truthfully to His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise many people will lose their heads. The deceased has passed away, and more pillars of the country cannot be destroyed because of a loser who may no longer be alive.

"Oh God!" Empress Xiao couldn't hold on any longer, and her whole body softened. In her husband's words, that young man was the last pillar of the Sui Dynasty. Although his surname was also Li, he probably corresponded to the peach and plum.

Folk songs. But the couple tried not to think about the bad side, and pinned their hopes for the revival of the imperial court on this peerless warrior sent by God. Unexpectedly, the people who stayed in the Eastern Capital would be so "smart" and smart enough to destroy the Great Wall.

.

"Has anyone seen the body? Or is the Wagang Army asking for ransom with the body? How much does it cost? I'll pay for it. You can just send someone to come down!" Being supported by two palace maids, Queen Xiao still felt weak in her legs and feet.

Shedding tears, she asked incoherently.

"No body has been found so far. It rained too much in those two days and it was probably washed away by the river! Other news is not accurate. I have ordered local officials and supervisors to write a detailed memorial to explain the cause and the cause of the incident.

The final outcome is written clearly, and no one is allowed to deliberately conceal it! The ministers and others have also discussed the matters behind General Li. Following the example of General Zhang, we will never treat his family badly!" For fear of implicating himself, Yu Shiji hurriedly

Added to the side: He believes that Dongdu will give a reasonable answer and is willing to give Li Xu an enviable posthumous honor.

As long as they could get past the current situation, he and Pei Ju had even agreed to catch two scapegoats to avoid the matter being too widely implicated.

"If everyone is gone, what's the use of investigating the truth? What's the use of being awarded a higher official title? Can he still be brought back to life? Or is it just to stuff the world's mouth?" Empress Xiao covered her face with her hands and choked with sobs.

question.

She could roughly guess what was going on behind the scenes. The young man was too upright and kind. He always wanted the best for everyone. But he didn't understand that the officialdom was the dirtiest in the world, and he couldn't live with the light.

The final outcome is only destruction!

"Your Majesty, take care of yourself!" Pei Ju and Yu Shiji hurriedly took half a step back, looking at their noses and hearts to avoid seeing a more embarrassing scene.

To their surprise, after experiencing the initial weakness, Queen Xiao quickly calmed down. "Is that all?" She wiped away the tears on her cheeks and asked the two ministers with a sneer.

"That's it. I wonder if I should let Your Majesty know?" Pei Ju and Yu Shiji were stared at by Empress Xiao so much that chills ran down their spines. They lowered their heads and replied feebly.

"Still, don't let His Majesty know! Anyway, we've reached this point! Besides, you've already hid so much from him, why don't you hide one more thing?" Queen Xiao smiled and ordered. The expression on her face suddenly appeared.

I became relaxed, as if I had a Zen enlightenment, and instantly let go of all the burdens on my mind.

"But, it's up to the queen!" Pei Ju and Yu Shiji looked at each other, and then answered impatiently. A piece of shocking news could be easily passed over. If they had known this, why would everyone have to scare themselves?

Half dead!

"His Majesty has just fallen asleep. You can go and deal with other matters. When he wakes up, he will naturally summon you!" Queen Xiao looked back at Yang Guang in his drunken dream and warned with a smile.

"I obey!" Pei Ju and Yu Shiji also glanced guiltily into the palace and bowed to answer.

Looking at the two figures walking away in panic, Queen Xiao stood blankly for a moment, and then slowly turned back to the palace. There was no need to ask Jill what she meant. There were many people whom her husband valued.

Eighty-nine is no longer alive. The once prosperous Sui Dynasty will soon fall like the flowers in the garden. Now that the ending is vaguely visible, instead of enduring the torture soberly, it is better to be confused with His Majesty until

The end of the road.

"Is there anything going on outside?" Yang Guang turned over on the dragon bed and murmured.

"It's okay, the flowers in the garden have fallen!" Empress Xiao smiled and replied in a low voice.

"Well, it's fine! You should rest for a while. Don't worry too much and tire yourself out!" Yang Guang warned his wife in a dreamy tone with his back to his wife. Taking advantage of the moment of yawning, he gently wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand.
