Chapter 725: No way to be in a hurry
Outside the city, Yang Ze was already lying on a leather mat and was almost asleep in a daze. Yan Bing ran too quickly and had no supplies, so naturally there was no tent to sleep. Even if he was the leader of the army, he could only lie on the leather mat at this time.
At this time, in the Yan Bing camp, there were bonfires everywhere. The Yan Bing soldiers were lying on the edge of the fire, snoring loudly, and the soldiers were exhausted. Not only were they, but even the war horses were the same. The war horses galloped all day long, and they were sweating profusely. Except for a few soldiers who loved horses, they would sweat the horses. Although most soldiers knew that the war horses had sweated so much that they might get sick tomorrow, they couldn't care about it. People were so tired that they couldn't open their eyes, and they really couldn't care about the horses.
The camp was relatively quiet, with only a few Bohai warriors standing guard on the periphery, and at this time they showed their strength. It was really not a joke. After a day of running, only they could stand it. And looking at their appearance, it seemed that they would not be so good if they ran like this for a few days.
The Bohai warriors were keeping watch while washing their horses. At this time, a Bohai warrior said, "Two horses came over from Taiyuan City, and there were people at the horse. I guess they were sending us a letter!"
At this time, the night was dark and I couldn't see the situation in the distance clearly. But when the Bohai warrior said that, the other Bohai warriors nodded. One of the Bohai warriors strode towards the place where Yang Ze rested. For them, they didn't need to look at it, just listen to the sound to know what number the other party was coming!
Yang Ze was called up. He heard that someone was coming from the city, so he yawned and said with a smile: "It's not been three hours yet, and the result is coming. It seems that many royal people in the city are really not very good!"
He sat up and waited for the Bohai Warriors to bring people over. It was probably the one sent by Du Dazhi!
As expected, the Bohai Warriors were really accurate. After a while, two cavalry rushed over. The Bohai Warriors searched behind them and took them to Yang Ze.
Yang Ze smiled and said, "What good news is there?" He was very excited to see the two Golden Crow Soldiers, and it was probably good news.
The two Golden Crow War heroes rushed to say something. When Yang Ze heard that Li Chongjiu was dead, he yelled twice. He couldn't help but feel sad when he heard that Wu Youren was dead. He sighed and heard that there were only a dozen royal families in the city. He said, "Fortunately, there are more than a dozen left. Otherwise, if I wrote the news into a memorial to go to Chang'an, I'm afraid that the emperor and the queen might not believe it. Du Da's chin is still very powerful to do things."
A great hero from the Golden Crow soldier said: "Taiwei, why not enter the city now? Now the entire Taiyuan City is controlled by our people, and no one dares to resist!"
Yang Ze shook his head and waved his hand, "You just need to tell Du Da chin to close the city gate and not to make the city mess. If someone has any thoughts that are not good for us, just suppress it directly. As for Taiyuan City, I will not go in, and I will not send people in. I will still have to do this posture. By the way, those princes are the property of the Lord, so you can share it. Thank you for this hard work, and I can't treat you badly. Even if these are rewards, I will give you additional titles after returning to Chang'an!"
The two golden crow soldiers left happily. Yang Ze asked someone to bring in a basin of cold water. After sobering up, he began to write the memorial, writing everything that happened in Taiyuan City into the memorial, but he did not write the result. This was a vague memorial, and sent someone to send it back to Chang'an and wait for the reply from Chang'an.
The matter here in Taiyuan has basically come to an end. All Yang Ze has to do is wait for the news. He doesn't even have to enter Taiyuan City. As long as he receives the result from Chang'an, he can almost go back to Chang'an. He even wondered whether he would lead his troops back to Chang'an, Cai Cai had become the queen again. The government in Chang'an was unstable. If a minister knew the result in advance and then wanted to flatter Cai Cai, he would be the queen again. It would be very likely that others would not say it. In fact, the flattery of Cai Cai was to flattery by himself. This is understandable.
Yang Ze closed his eyes and rested, thinking: "Among the emperors of the Great Empire, the most unlucky person is probably the current emperor Li Yan. Not only does he have an unwilling mother who stole his throne, he also has an unwilling son who has been thinking about snatching his throne all day long. Well, by the way, I, the unwilling son-in-law, always thinking about helping his daughter steal his throne. Li Yan's life is not good, otherwise why would he be so unlucky in this life? He has a family of people, and I don't know what zodiac sign he is from, so I have to ask in the future!"
After a short while, he stood up again, picked up his pen and wrote another letter, but the letter was written to Chen Deyin. He told him about Taiyuan, so he adapted to the situation and fueled the fire in Chang'an. After writing the letter, he sent a Bohai warrior to send him back to Chang'an at a speed of 600 miles.
After all these were done, Yang Ze began to think carefully again. Will there be any omissions in the whole matter be related to whether Caicai can become the queen and whether the world will be in the future. Will his surname be Yang? He is building a country for his son, of course he must be careful.
Let’s talk about the Chang’an Palace. Emperor Li Yan and the Queen have been so upset these days. They are always restless. If Li Yan is the only one, it would be fine, but even the queen is the same. The two of them will even quarrel for no reason and can’t sleep well. They will become insomnia after sleep. They can’t sleep at night and are drowsy during the day. They both have headaches and splitting. They ask the imperial doctor to come to see the doctor. They just take some decoctions to calm the mind, but there is no significant effect.
That evening, it was about to get dark. Li Yan and the queen ate a little, but they had bad appetites. They only drank some porridge and some delicious side dishes, even if they had to deal with the supper.
The queen lay halfway on the bed and said, "Old man, you said we were poor before and had nothing to do, but we could eat very well. Now we are finally rich again, but we can't eat anything anymore. Why do I feel that we have a lot of life in this life!"
Li Yan sat on a dragon pier by the table. When he heard his wife say this, he felt very much and said, "I have been restless these days, and it is not easy to drink medicine. I really don't know why!"
The queen said, "You said, could it be because you became the emperor but did not live in the bedroom. So you can't suppress the dragon energy in the palace. If this dragon energy swells, don't we be sick!"
The queen has always been superstitious and believes in dragon energy, Feng Shui and other things. Of course, she has to believe it. If she doesn’t believe this, wouldn’t it mean that she believes that her husband is not the real dragon emperor?
Li Yan actually believed it quite well, but he didn't have the chance to believe it before, but now he has become an emperor again. He is very afraid of losing a good life, so he will of course be more worried about gains and losses.
Li Yan hesitated and said, "Then let's move to the bedroom? But there is my mother's coffin there. Besides, even if it's the first seventh day and my mother is buried, to be honest, I don't really want to live there, and I feel uncomfortable!"
The queen said, "So, I don't want to live there either. Let Cai Cai live there, except her. I don't think anyone else wants to stay there."
Li Yan laughed dryly and said, "Caicai has the best relationship with her emperor grandmother. Her grandparents and grandchildren have deep feelings. She, the granddaughter, is more important than me, the son, in her mother's heart!"
"Or else can she be made the new queen?" The queen continued, and said, "Actually, it's nothing to be an emperor for a daughter, but you're afraid you're not happy. The world's country will eventually fall into the hands of people from other people!"
Li Yan nodded. The couple had discussed this issue before, saying that it would be good if Yang Ze was the son-in-law who intervened in the family, but as Li Chongjiu became the prince, they were unwilling to mention this issue again, because they were afraid that Yang Ze would agree to change his surname to Li in the future, but when they died, Yang Ze would ask his son to change his surname to Yang. That was the same thing. Moreover, with Yang Ze's personality, he would definitely do this. He got the country first and then "reformed". Neither of them could stop it now, and he would be even more unable to stop it in the future, so he could only ostrich and no longer discuss this issue.
The two of them were silent for a while, and the queen said, "If Chongjiu is fighting for a little bit of anger and can take your burden earlier, we can also enjoy more peace and happiness. For example, go to Mount Li to soak in hot springs, or go to Mount Tai for a walk. This is a good place. If he doesn't take the burden, we won't have so much time to go. We will live too much in this life, and the more we think about it, the more we lose!"
She lived a comfortable life when she was a girl, and that became her best memory. When she married Li Yan, life was not easy. Queen Dugu repaired her so much that she couldn't even find the north. Then she was driven to the west of Zhenxi, living like a prisoner. Now she finally returned to Chang'an, but now she was older, and she always felt that she wouldn't have time to enjoy it anymore, so she really didn't have time to enjoy it.
Li Yan looked up at her and said, "You mean to give up the throne to Chongjiu? We haven't seen this child for many years, and we haven't received his letters when we were in Zhenxi. We really don't know how his character has become. And after we returned to Beijing, we can count the meeting with him with our fingers! If we give up the throne to him, I really don't know how he will rule!"
In fact, Li Yan was actually a little dissatisfied with Li Chongjiu, especially when he was exiled in Zhenxi, even his third brother, the Prime Minister, would still give him a letter, and he would sloppyly share his brotherhood. However, Li Chongjiu, a son, had never contacted his parents. At that time, he only thought that his son was young, but after more than ten years, he had never received a letter. This is not a matter of age!
Li Yan knew very well that his son Li Chongjiu did not want his father to be implicated. Being a wife with an ordinary grandson was Li Chongjiu's true thought. He only had such a son, and of course he also hoped that his son would live a better life, at least not be harmed by the eldest princess. But after he returned to Beijing, Li Chongjiu still did not marry him, which made him, the father, feel a little unhappy!
The queen frowned and said, "Who made us just such a son? It's his sooner or later. You can let him ascend the throne first and let him rule first. If there is anything unpredictable, you can also handle it for him more refreshingly. It's better than if we are not here. He can't handle national affairs well and cause many accidents. Do you think your son-in-law is a fuel-efficient lamp!"
Li Yan was right to think about it. If he had abdicated as the emperor for the sake of the country and the country, it was indeed the right way to abdicate and become the emperor. But he had just become the emperor and had not yet had a hot day, so he would have made him the emperor. This was really unwilling to let him give up his position to Li Chongjiu.
Fortunately, the queen didn't have the idea of letting Li Chongjiu be the emperor. For her, she felt even more distressed that her daughter Caicai was, but she favored boys over girls, and she was no exception, so she still wanted her son to be the emperor and sat on the dragon throne firmly.
The couple didn't discuss this issue any more, and it was quite brain-strapped. They didn't like brain-strapped people. They talked for a while, and in order to change their mood, the couple actually called the little eunuch and the palace maid in. After singing a few small songs, they felt a little more comfortable, and the couple rested.
This is how I spend every night, and there is nothing special about it, at least in the middle of the night, but after the third update and before the fourth update, footsteps suddenly came from outside the bedroom and stopped outside the hall. Someone whispered: "Emperor, Empress, have you ever rested?"
This question is simply outrageous. It’s midnight. It’s still the second half of the night. Why don’t you sleep? Do you get up in the middle of the night and listen to the little song?
The queen was indifferent. Whenever there was any movement outside, she woke up. When she heard someone asking questions outside, it turned out to be Liang Dazhong. She was shocked. Could it be that a palace coup had occurred again? She couldn't stand this stimulation!
He immediately stood up, pushed Li Yan, and woke Li Yan up. She shouted to the outside, "Is it Liang Dazhong? What happened? But someone wants to rebel?"
Li Yan woke up in a daze, but when he heard the word rebellion, he immediately woke up. He sat up and shouted, "What's wrong, what happened?"
Liang Dazhong quickly walked in from outside, and there were several little palace maids following behind him. After the little palace maids came in, they immediately lit the candles, making the hall light. Then the few little palace maids ran out, leaving only Liang Dazhong alone.
With the candlelight, Li Yan and the queen found that Liang Dazhong was sweating all over his forehead and were breathing. The queen was anxious and asked, "What's wrong? Tell me quickly!"
Liang Dazhong swallowed a mouthful and said, "Emperor, the big thing is not good. It was a letter from Taiyuan. It was from the King of Yan, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne in Taiyuan and became emperor, and he also worshipped the Emperor and the Queen Mother as the Emperor and the Queen Mother. The person who reported the news was outside the palace. It was Tan Zhengwen, the King of Yan's confidant!"
Li Yan and the queen were stunned when they heard this. It turned out that it was not someone who rebels, but someone who rebels was their son Li Chongjiu!
Before going to bed, they asked whether to give the throne to Li Chongjiu. As a result, Li Chongjiu was so anxious that he ascended the throne himself. His son was really not good!
Li Yan gave way to Li Chongjiu and Li Chongjiu ascended the throne himself. Although the result was the same, the effect was the opposite. As a result, Li Yan became the Supreme Emperor, but the effect was Li Yan furious!
When he heard that it wasn't someone who wanted to lead troops into the palace, but his son Li Chongjiu became the emperor in Taiyuan, Li Yan's fear suddenly faded, and his anger suddenly arose. He got off the dragon bed and cursed: "Zhu Zi, how dare you do this? Who taught him how to do this!"
The queen was also quite angry. She said she wanted to be the empress dowager, that was okay, she voluntarily, but her son deposed her name and directly asked her to be the empress dowager. She didn't want to do so. Even if she was a biological son, this wouldn't work. Even if her son wanted to be the emperor, she had to discuss with her, the mother, in advance, and she couldn't make a decision without authorization!
The queen also got out of the bed and said to Li Yan: "Old man, don't be angry. Call Tan Zhengwen in first, ask him what's going on, and figure it out first!"
Li Yan had no choice but to nod. He knew Tan Zhengwen, an old acquaintance when he was in Zhenxi, was a guy who liked to be full of quarrels. His words might not be true.
Liang Dazhong quickly agreed, turned around and trotted out to find Tan Zhengwen. Seeing that he was so old and running so fast, Li Yan was afraid that he would suddenly fall and break his bones. That would be really bad.
Liang Dazhong ran out of the bedroom and left the yard. He stopped, took a few breaths, called a confidant eunuch, and said, "Open the small corner gate and let Tan Zhengwen come in. Come here directly, our family is waiting for him here."
He just pretended to be positive in front of Li Yan and the Queen, otherwise he would have the intention to run around the palace, but he couldn't run!
At this time, another little eunuch came up and whispered: "Godfather, if this happens, should you tell Princess Long live? It's a big deal in Taiyuan..."
Liang Dazhong yelled and thought to himself: "Big things are big things, but you don't have to tell Princess Long live. Anyway, Princess Long live will ask any news. Does Yang Ze know? Yang Ze must know, so she will huh and ignore it. Anyway, there can only be this one, so what does it matter if you tell her or not!"
Liang Dazhong shook his head and said, "No need, wait until Tan Zhengwen meets the emperor first, let's talk about anything!"
Outside the palace gate, Tan Zhengwen and a group of Bohai warriors were sitting on the stools, waiting to be called into the palace. They looked at the stone tablet in front of the palace. The stone tablet was almost built. The craftsmanship and efficiency of Chang'an craftsmen were really amazing. Although this was related to the government's tight supervision in order to flatter the emperor, it could also reflect the problem of efficiency.
Tan Zhengwen smiled and said to the Bohai warriors: "After this stone tablet is built, it may come in handy soon."
The Bohai warriors naturally knew what he meant, and everyone laughed and were quite proud. After all, they were following the right person, so of course they should be proud.
They rushed to Chang'an, and it was already dark. The city gate of Chang'an would not be opened for them. Unless Li Yan personally issued an order, he could apply in the palace and then open the city gate again. It was probably dawn, so it would be better to wait outside the city gate honestly!
But Tan Zhengwen and the others also have a way. Anyway, the soldiers guarding the city gate are all their people. The suspension bridge cannot be placed and the city gate cannot be opened. It doesn’t matter. They put their horses on the other side of the moat, then swam across the river, and then asked the city gate guards to hang them one by one to the city with big baskets!
They had a lot of people, and they were so tired that they were sweating profusely. They finally hung dozens of them onto the city, and then found them for horses. Tan Zhengwen and others were able to get outside the palace, and then called the palace gate and asked the imperial guards to find Liang Dazhong. They were busy. It was not until the middle of the night that Liang Dazhong sent the news to Li Yan.
The palace has a small corner gate, which is a kind of door that is specially used for palace maids and small eunuchs. This kind of door is usually not open in the middle of the night, but if there is any special emergency, you can make it easier. This time Liang Dazhong asked the small eunuchs to introduce Tan Zhengwen to the palace through this small corner gate.
When Tan Zhengwen saw the little eunuch who came out to report the news, he asked, "The emperor only told me to go in alone?"
The little eunuch nodded quickly and said, "That's right, the emperor and the empress only called General Tan to go in alone, but no one else called him!"
Tan Zhengwen nodded and ordered the Bohai warriors to continue waiting outside. He untied the sword in his waist and threw it to a Bohai warrior. Then he followed the little eunuch into the palace. After walking for a quarter of an hour, he arrived at the bedroom and the little eunuch went in to report.
In the hall, Li Yan kept walking, excited, but the queen was slamming the table and complaining loudly. She mainly said that Li Chongjiu was ruined by the eldest princess, and that the King of Charity was not a good cake. Originally, his son Li Chongjiu was fine, but because he saw many bad things they did, he also learned bad things.
Li Yan finally couldn't bear it and said, "Joinjiu has not had any contact with the eldest sister and the others several times. He said that they had led Chongjiu to the point of being able to overcome this conscience."
The queen spat and said, "Conscience, if your brothers and sisters have consciences, they can die so early. Even the King of Hell can't stand it anymore, so they took them away early!"
Seeing that his wife was a little sensation, Li Yan had to shake his head and said, "Why do you want to say that there are some or nothing? Let's wait until Tan Zhengwen comes!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
