Chapter 164: Paper enters the lake and fish moves, sleeves open and people die

It took only one night for the people who walked down from Dadong Mountain to handle everything. The first time in the history of Qingguo, Liang's rebellion in the daytime ended in a bleak situation, at least the bleak end of the lord killing, and he could no longer make any waves. Everyone, including the emperor, was somewhat cold-blooded and slightly nervous, waiting for the changes in Kyoto in dozens of days.

The emperor was already very tired at that time. Eliminating the two great masters, Ku He and Si Gu Jian, was certainly the most gorgeous page in his life, but it also consumed too much of his strength and spirit. Especially after this long plan became a reality, some of the spiritual impacts brought by him at this time were far less powerful than people saw him.

In his life, this stage is actually the time when he is the weakest and easiest to be defeated. However, no one noticed this, and no one dared to take advantage of this. Because in addition to surrounding Dadongshan and blocking the news, tens of thousands of state troops were also desperately chasing the two forces that infiltrated the border between Dongyi City and Beiqi.

The tiger was dozing, but forcibly squinted his eyes and shone a cold light, scaring those who dared to offend him into prey in a panic. Uesugi tiger was a solo horse, but he wanted to take Ku He north, so he was naturally unable to do anything. Yun Zhilan, who is currently in charge of Dongyi City affairs, is also a master of swordsmanship, but not a master of military tactics. He never thought that he could fight back and seek some earth-shaking effects at this time. This had nothing to do with courage.

The Supervisory Office has also taken action. The figures of the Three Roads Inspection Department have been dispatched in advance have been spread on every road from Toyama Road to Kyoto. Although Chen Pingping is in Kyoto, his subordinates still exerted the powerful glorious tradition of the Supervisory Office and demonstrated an extremely terrifying information blocking ability.

Whether it is Uesugi Tsuki or Toshiki Castle, even if they can send out messages on the way and notify the eldest princess far away in Kyoto, it is impossible to do it within a few days. In addition, they traveled a long way to avoid the pursuit, and the truth about Ottoyama was spread to Kyoto, which was more than ten days later than usual.

The information transmission is inconvenient, but it brings great convenience to Emperor Chen Pingping.

At this time, Fan Xian was fighting with Yan Xiaoyi in the depths of the mountains. He didn't know what happened on Dadong Mountain. When he successfully killed Yan Xiaoyi. After entering the Song State and then heading south from Yanjing, the people who fled from Dadong Mountain highlighted the mountains and broke into the sphere of influence of Dongyi City.

Fan Xian was not lucky. He left the state of Song a few days ago, so he didn't hear that news. Not long after he entered the border of Qing State, the commander of the Yanjing camp had already received the secret order and secretly took over the leaderless battle camp, and at the same time forcibly cut off the border between the three countries.

What's even more amazing is that people from both the Northern Qi and Dongyi returned seemed to have their lips subconsciously closed. The little emperor of Northern Qi was already very late when he received the news. Even if he sent a message to the eldest princess in the south, he would not have time to change anything. And the Sigu Jian of Dongyi City... This seriously injured and dying madman did not try to notify Li Yunrui of Kyoto for some reason.

The reason is actually very simple. Once the news of the emperor's death is transmitted back to Kyoto, I am afraid that the Qing domestic chaos will end before the beginning, and the Qing State's national strength will not be lost. This is what Sigujian is very reluctant to see.

Now Sigu Jian must consider his way to Dongyi City after his death, in order to delay Emperor Qing's pace of unification of the world. Letting the eldest princess know the emperor's death a few days later may be more in line with the interests of Dongyi City. If the eldest princess can make a big fuss in Kyoto, the national strength of the Qing Kingdom will definitely be damaged. In the war, within two or three years, the Qing Kingdom will not be able to recover its vitality and send troops abroad.

Of course, Yanjing and Cangzhou have been strictly prohibited. Shortly after Fan Xian entered Beijing, the capital was blocked. Even if Sigujian wanted to notify Li Yunrui, it was not that simple. The most terrifying thing was that Emperor Qing seemed to have even clearly thought about Sigujian at this time, and the thoughts between the masters were indeed so connected.

Another key issue is Fan Xian's safety. As long as Fan Xian can successfully break through the Yan Xiaoyi barrier and return to Kyoto... Sigujian considers Dongyi City's future, he cannot let Fan Xian die so early.

In the last days of life, the Grand Masters need to consider more, farther and deeper. They lost the most critical battle at Emperor Qing, but left their hope in the future and at that moment. It seems that no matter what, it is impossible for Dongyi City to be hoped... Fan Xian.

These are things that will happen more than ten days later. His Majesty the Emperor of Qing State is not a sophisticated computer, so he can only infer the approximate possibility. Fortunately, the development of the situation is not too far from his analysis.

After dealing with the matter of Dadongshan, he did not stop at the foot of the mountain, but went northwest overnight to Lizhou. He entered the city in the early morning and entered the Governor Hou Yongzhi, the Governor of Dongshan Road.

On that day, the entire city of Luozhou City was strictly prohibited. Following His Majesty to the north, the prefecture army of Jiangbei Road was ordered to take over the important task of defense in the local prefecture army. More than a dozen ministers and eunuchs in the inner court controlled the entire governor's office.

The people of Lizhou City looked at everything in front of them in a daze. There were suddenly so many strange-faced soldiers from somewhere. Moreover, the soldiers had very bad eyes. They looked like wild beasts, and they had a faint smell of blood on their bodies. They obviously had just come down from the battlefield.

The soldiers patrolled the streets of Lizhou City, staring at everything around with vigilance, bringing a solemn meaning to the largest city on Dongshan Road, oppressing the ordinary people, and no longer dared to discuss privately on the street. Apart from some necessary things, they retreated back into the room most of the time.

In the Governor's Office on Dongshan Road, Governor Hou Yongzhi knelt in front of the emperor, not very scared, his face was as if he was ashamed. After kowtowing twice, he said nothing, because he knew that he would die, but he didn't know if he was going to be cut into pieces or to dismember him. From joining the Princess's plan, he knew what the consequences of failure would be.

But he didn't expect that His Majesty would break the situation in Dadongshan so easily. Before everyone could react, he stabbed into the Governor's Mansion like a sharp arrow feather and suddenly came to him.

The emperor did not look at him, and his face was not disappointed. Because he knew that the minister who was kneeling at his feet would definitely become the first governor to be executed in office in the thirty years of Qing Dynasty. He just calculated the days indifferently to see if he could leave enough time for his sister.

The city of Lizhou became a dead city, and no one could leave. Even if the eldest princess buried her eyeliner on the East Mountain Road, she had no idea what happened in the Governor's Mansion. Some people outside the city noticed the strange phenomenon of the city and began to convey messages to Kyoto. However, every time they traveled for only a few dozen miles, they were disguised as spies of various characters by the Supervision Bureau and took their lives.

Chen Pingping invested up to 40% of the Supervisory Council's manpower in these three directions. No wonder he was forced to lure the Kyoto garrison troops around Kyoto to fight guerrillas. The old dean calculated his money for His Majesty's will.

I waited silently in the city of Luozhou for some time. As time goes by, it is estimated that the news of the death of the emperor in Dadongshan should have been passed into Kyoto. Fan Xian should have also arrived with the order, and the emperor's face in the Governor's Mansion of Luozhou City looked a little better.

A few days later, the court rushed to send secret reports from Kyoto to the Governor's Office of several routes in the world, especially the secret reports of the Lizhou Prefecture of Dongshan Road, arrived at the fastest speed. It began to question the truth about Dadongshan to seek confirmation.

The emperor naturally confirmed his death through the procedures of the Governor's Office, and then waited for the arrival of the imperial court's team to welcome the spirits.

On the second day, the court reported to him again, talking about the prince's affairs and the assassination of Fan Xian, the major governors wrote letters to fight against the court. Except for the two governors in Jiangbei and Jiangnan, the other governors were fully aware of the inside story, but the other governors were purely from the perspective of a chief official and his loyal minister.

Although the emperor did not receive the letter from the other governors, he probably knew what they would say. At this time, he ordered people to take Hou Yongzhi, the governor of Dongshan Road, and slowly spoke: "I chose seven of you to guard the world for me. Six of them did not disappoint me, but you..."

Hou Yongzhi was detained for many days, not knowing his food and was exhausted. He heard His Majesty's words and did not dare to beg for mercy at all. Knowing that His Majesty's day of leaving Lizhou was his death. He just kowtowed desperately, hoping that His Majesty would spare his wife, children and mother.

The emperor looked at him coldly and said nothing.

On the second day, His Majesty the Emperor led the state army and ministers and eunuchs out of Luozhou. Before leaving Luozhou, Hou Yongzhi was sentenced to death, his three children were beheaded, and the entire Governor's Office and all thirty-four officials at all levels controlled from top to bottom of Dongshan Road were strangled.

The emperor was not a person who was easily angry, and he was too lazy to use those severe punishments to torture Hou Yongzhi, who betrayed the court. In his opinion, letting a person lose his life is just a necessary means for the king to gain power and has nothing to do with punishment.

On the sixth day after receiving the report of the prince's ascendance to the throne and Fan Xian's charge, His Majesty, who was slowly moving from Lizhou to Kyoto, finally saw the team that was coming to greet him. Of course, the original purpose of this team was to welcome his body and soul.

After contacting the imperial court's team, the emperor gave a cold order, and the brigade accelerated a little and continued to approach Kyoto.

A few days later, Kyoto was still far away, and the emperor did not know what the situation in Kyoto is today. Chen Pingping and his king and minister were like two lonely ghosts in the fields of Daqing, floating around, without betting on the collection of intelligence.

But these two lonely ghosts cooperated too perfectly and seemed too powerful.

One day, the emperor passed by outside Xinyang City, looked at the strange city in the distance, and remained silent. After a moment, he looked back at the hearse dragged behind the team, and the large coffin in the car that was unknown to many layers, with a hint of self-deprecating feeling in the corners of his lips.

"Tell Yun Rui." The emperor said.

Eunuch Yao rode a horse and took out his paper and listened carefully.

"I'm back."

The emperor spoke coldly, then clamped his horse's belly, and rode past Xinyang before the brigade and headed towards Kyoto in the distance.

The strings of the piano were broken, the flowers and trees were broken, and the princess in the royal clothes was standing in a daze on the lake in Taiping Villa, looking at the information I just received, dazed, and ignored it, sitting not far from her feet. Fan Xian was sitting not far from her feet.

Since the beginning of the plan, she had gradually moved her power from Xinyang to Kyoto. This process took two years. Including the dead Huang Yi and the living Yuan Hongdao, they all came to Kyoto from Xinyang Dili Palace. However, after the thunderstorm night before the New Year, the emperor and Chen Pingping had only half an hour to wipe out the power of the eldest princess.

Now the eldest princess is basically hidden behind the scenes in the plot of rebellion and sets the overall situation. Convincing the strong people in the world to take action is, on the one hand, because she is good at such a role, and on the other hand, because she has to choose this role. She controls the prince and the second prince, and if she controls the Ye family and the Qin family, she will be very comfortable with her skillful hand.

But her own intelligence system has received an extremely fatal blow, and it has been unable to recover in two or three years, so when she received a tight report from Xinyang, she couldn't help frowning and felt a little surprised.

This information is fake. Li Yunrui, the lord of Xinyang, naturally recognized it at a glance, but this information is true, or Xinyang has been completely controlled by someone, so he can use his own channels to send himself an urgent secret report. Who is it?

Li Yunrui was a little surprised, curious, and expectant. He tore open the cover pressing the fire paint, glanced lightly on it, and then his eyes condensed on the letter paper.

There were only four words on the paper, but these four words made her look at them for a long time. The emotions contained in her eyes were very complicated. It was very complicated. These four words seemed to reflect into her dark and clear eyes, and they were typed out word by word, becoming the shrinking and opening of her pupils, and the thick and fainting of her eyes.

Her pupils were first shocked, then a faint disappointment, then anger was unsuspecting, and then she turned into a faint self-mockery. Finally, she fell into a lake like a stone, gradually turning into a calm.

In just a moment, this most beautiful and cruel woman in Qingguo had so many emotional changes in her pupils.

Fan Xian looked at her quietly, watching the changes in her pupils. He didn't see the madness that made him afraid. He felt relieved, but then he stumbled and guessed what was written in the letter.

Even if the Ye family turned against her and controlled Kyoto by herself, she did not let Li Yunrui lose her composure. Then there was only one person in the world who could make her look like she is now.

Li Yunrui lowered his head again and savored the four words on the letter paper carefully: "I'm back."

The handwriting on the letter paper is extremely vigorous, which is the handwriting of His Majesty the Emperor. However, Li Yunrui could see it at a glance. This was the pen on behalf of Eunuch Yao. Although Your Majesty is a very diligent king, if you want to command such a large country, you will still feel a little mentally detrimental to deal with so many memorials. Some memorials that are not harmful are often handed over to Eunuch Yao for their criticism. Over time, Eunuch Yao also learned 90% of His Majesty's handwriting, which is enough to hide it from the court's mainland ministers and the censors.

However, how much thought Li Yunrui had put into his own emperor's brother, how could he not see the difference? But she did not suspect that this was a lie. Someone used the handwriting of Eunuch Yao to pretend that His Majesty is still alive.

Because she knew that no one could have thought of saying such a simple and powerful four words except His Majesty.

The meaning of these four words is very simple: I am back and I am still alive, so you can do it yourself.

Two lines of tears slid down from Li Yunrui's eyes for no reason. This was an indescribable emotion that stimulated her tear glands and made the woman who was extremely crying in front of the queen mother cry in this lonely Taiping Villa.

This is probably the last message Emperor Qing gave his sister. Li Yunrui thought sadly in his heart. He didn't bother to write the last sentence himself?

His Majesty the Emperor must have never thought that these four words would make Li Yunrui feel so much. He just declared his return as an emperor, like a lion, and told the four fields that he had the supreme rule over the territory.

Fan Xian didn't understand why the eldest princess cried. The crazy woman had no mad look on her face, but was just sad. In any case, he could not have imagined that the eldest princess was angry and sad because the emperor did not write these four words himself.

The Emperor and Fan Xian are undoubtedly wise people, but they still cannot understand women. For men, the creatures of women are undoubtedly another completely different species, strangers from distant and unknown spaces.

Li Yunrui let go of his fingers weakly, and the paper fell from her fingers, and was blown by the early autumn wind, and fell on the small lake in the middle of Taiping Villa. The paper was soaked by the lake water and instantly sank towards the water surface.

With a glance, Fan Xian saw the four words clearly and was shocked. Although after the Ye family rebelled, he thought about the possibility that His Majesty would still be alive, but he saw it with his own eyes and confirmed it with his own eyes. However, he still couldn't help but be shocked because he didn't know what was happening on Dadong Mountain.

Since Your Majesty is still alive, the eldest princess is naturally defeated. Although she said that before, Fan Xian knew that if she could destroy all the powerful men in the world in one fell swoop, she would be the most satisfying of her ideas.

This news is the good news that Fan Xian has been looking forward to. If His Majesty dies, he is really worried about whether the Ye family will continue on this road.

Fan Xian clenched his fists excitedly, stood up slowly, staring at Li Yunrui's back, worried that this woman would issue any crazy instructions under the stimulation of this news.

Li Yunrui patted his hands gently. Many masters poured into the small lake. Fan Xian glanced at it and was not very scared. These Xinyang Zhaomo's hands may be very scary to ordinary people. But they did not put them in his eyes at all. He was just worried about Wan'er and Dabao.

To Fan Xian's surprise and shocked the subordinates, Li Yunrui said slowly, "You all go, you no longer need you here." She paused for a moment and said, "Hiddenly bury the name, spend the rest of her life safely, and don't think about ridiculous things like taking revenge."

The subordinates were in an uproar. They looked at the eldest princess with disbelief and said in pain: "Your Highness!"

From the moment Fan Xian stepped into the Taiping Villa, these people knew that Kyoto's rebellion had already had great problems, but they still had strong confidence in the eldest princess.

Li Yunrui just smiled indifferently, waved his hand, and said nothing.

"Your Highness!" The subordinates knelt down at her around the hills, and refused to leave. Several of them even cried.

Fan Xian looked at this scene in shock. Although he knew that Li Yunrui had already thought of being self-severing from heaven and earth after the failure of the matter, he did not expect that these subordinates would be so loyal to her.

He had very little contact with Xinyang, and he didn't know how the eldest princess controlled his subordinates. With the emperor's indulgence and the help of Chen Pingping, he had won more than he lost in the war against the eldest princess in the past two years, and he felt a little contempt for Li Yunrui.

But at this time, seeing those subordinates who were crying and refused to leave, feeling the loyalty of everyone to the eldest princess, Fan Xian vaguely understood something, such as why the princess can have so many forces in the court, why can she convince Ku He and Sigujian to take action, why can she control the prince and the second prince, why...

This is just a feeling. He still doesn't know where the magic of the eldest princess comes from, but he knows that this is definitely not an effect that can be achieved by peerless beauty. It's just a pity that Fan Xian didn't know in the past, and now it seems that there is no chance to see the eldest princess's true abilities.

There was a crying sound around, but the eldest princess, who was by the lake, frowned slightly, seemed a little bored, and waved her hand again.

A leading official, looking at this scene, knew that the big thing had gone, wiped away the tears in the corners of his eyes, knelt down and kowtowed, and turned around and left resolutely. After one person left, many people left. Perhaps these people were not greedy and fearful of death. However, since Li Yunrui issued the order and His Highness obviously disliked, they had no other way except to leave.

In this way, only the eldest princess and Fan Xian were left in the entire Taiping Villa. Although this was the case before, Fan Xian knew that there were many people outside monitoring him. At this time, he knew that those people had left, and he felt even more lonely in his heart. Looking at the eldest princess' thin shoulders, he felt a little confused.

Li Yunrui turned around slowly, put his hands on his abdomen very elegantly, his wide sleeves lowered, and fell into beautiful and luxurious lines.

She still had a smile on her face, but her eyes were particularly clear. She was no longer the vicious person in front of the enemy, no longer the pseudo-coward who was often slapped in the face in front of the queen mother, no longer the stubborn, angry, and sad sister under the iron palm of the emperor.

She is the eldest princess, she is Li Yunrui, the only one in the sky and under the earth.

Li Yunrui looked at his son-in-law with a smile and said, "I know that Your Majesty is still alive, you don't seem to be as happy as I thought."

Fan Xian lowered his head slightly and said, "A lot of people have died recently, and I can't be happy."

"So that's the case. It seems that you and your mother are really similar..." Li Yunrui was slightly stunned and smiled, stopped the topic with an inexplicable emotion, and asked lightly: "Have you ever thought about why the Qin family wanted to rebel?"

Fan Xian frowned, not understanding the meaning of this sentence, and was not clear about why she suddenly mentioned that she had been driven out of the Qin family in Kyoto by the Dingzhou army.

The eldest princess looked at him with a slightly mocking look, then sighed, looking at the paper that had already sunk to the bottom of the lake, the lake water of Taiping Villa was extremely clear and shallow, and the white paper gradually spread out in the lake water, like a piece of steamed bun, causing countless red carp to come and compete for food, and the water rolled in.

She looked at the scene quietly and said, "Actually, we are all fish, but the things we compete for are not much the same. This time I didn't get anything. I thought I would be angry and disappointed... and I was really angry and disappointed, but in the end I realized that he was alive... I was still happy after all."

Fan Xian was stunned and then thought to himself slightly, as the eldest princess said before, her life goal has been achieved, so what if the emperor dies or does not die? But since His Majesty is back, the eldest princess may not have a way out.

Then he saw a scene that shocked him.

Li Yunrui's face was calm and calm, and he slowly lowered his arms. The light-colored palace uniforms and wide sleeves naturally hung down and spread out, as if a big show had come to an end. The actor walked out of the curtain for the last time and expressed his gratitude to the audience.

The final actor was not only herself, but also a black poisoned dagger that was penetrated deeply into her lower abdomen, dying deep into the handle.
