Chapter 68: The Secret Love of the Palace

"See the Empress." Chang Yu put the wooden barrel of her daughter Chang Fengying's blood transfusion to the pig on the ground and gave a great gift to the Queen.

Queen Quan looked at the wooden barrel curiously with her beautiful phoenix eyes and said, "Forget it, get up. Chang Aiqing, what are you doing with a wooden barrel?"

"Didn't you ask someone to fill the body with water? They brought the tools, but you pretended not to know." Chang Yu thought of Queen Quan's latecomer in his heart and said, "I have already done what the Empress wants me to do." There was no saying afterwards, and where did the corpse come from.

Queen Quan seemed to have no intention of paying attention to these things and said, "Come with me." Walking in her head, Chang Yu hurriedly followed with a wooden barrel.

The two walked forward one after another. When Chang Yu saw that the direction of Queen Quan was Xie Daoqing's small Buddhist temple, he felt very strange. If the beauty in front of him was not a noble queen, he would definitely ask clearly. Although Chang Yu was wondering how Queen Quan would go to the small Buddhist temple, he knew that it would be best to talk less in the palace and see less, so he refused to say it.

When he came to the small Buddhist temple, Chang Yu realized that today's small Buddhist temple was very different from the past. There were many secret whistles. On the surface, it looked no different from the past. In fact, it was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. A large number of guards were hiding in the dark. If you want to run away from their noses, only flies might have the ability.

Chang Yu, who was already very strange, was even more strange. He thought to himself, could there be a corpse in Xie Daoqing's small Buddhist temple? I don't know how many times I wanted to ask Queen Quan, but in the end I held back and followed Queen Quan into the small Buddhist temple.

This cannot be blamed for Chang Yu's curiosity. It is really difficult to understand. Not to mention anything else, it is enough for Empress Quan to see him pour water into dead people for no reason. Anyone will be surprised when encountering this. If it were in modern times, she would definitely say Empress Quan BT.

The little Buddha has always been the place where Xie Daoqing recites the Buddha's name. Xie Daoqing has a strange temper, that is, the people she doesn't like, but they don't like. This is really not a good thing for a queen mother who is in the world. Her small Buddhist temple is regarded as a forbidden place. People who can come to her Buddhist temple can count it with their fingers. In the past, Jia Sidao could come, all the queens could come, and the emperor could come, and whether it could be found depends on whether she was in good mood.

Chang Yu was very familiar with the things in the palace and understood the changes. He couldn't be curious if he didn't want him to be curious.

After looking through, there was no change in the small Buddhist temple. There was still a table and a chair, a golden Buddha statue, a futon, a wooden fish, and a bed. I don’t know when I got a big box in. The box was gold-painted, and you can tell at a glance that it was made by a famous craftsman, with extremely exquisite workmanship and large workmanship, so you can definitely use it as a bed.

Chang Yu has been here in the small Buddhist temple. In his memory, there is no such box. Xie Daoqing is a devout Buddhist disciple. He is very firm in his heart and does not value luxury. He will never put such a box in the Buddhist temple that is incompatible with her personality.

While Chang Yu was curious, Queen Quan said to the captain of the guards: "You are all optimistic. Without my permission, no one is allowed to approach the Buddhist temple. If there is any violation, he will rectify the Dharma on the spot."

The captain of the guard responded respectfully.

Chang Yu was even more surprised. In his memory, Empress Quan knew to play with the emperor on weekdays and never said such harsh words. She didn't even allow her to get close to five feet. She also had to rectify the Dharma on the spot. Chang Yu couldn't figure out when she changed her temperament.

Queen Quan closed the door, put a thick door bolt on it, and said, "Chang Aiqing, put down your things. Come and help me."

Chang Yu responded, put the wooden barrel on the ground, helped Queen Quan set up a mattress embroidered with brocade patterns on the bed. After completing these, according to Chang Yu's idea, Queen Quan should go to the next step. Unexpectedly, Queen Quan did not go to the next step, but looked at him and said, "Chang Aiqing, the Ai family wants to remind you that you know and I know this. If you don't want to participate in this matter, it is still time to withdraw now. As long as you promise not to say it out, there is nothing."

Her words were a threatening word, meaning that if she said anything, she would have everything, and it would be no problem to confiscate the family and destroy the family.

Chang Yu was willing to withdraw from this game by 1,000,000, but he knew very well that he had no way out now. If he quit, Queen Quan asked someone else to do it. If someone else said it, the result would be no different from him. Instead of one more person knowing to increase some risks, it would be better to do it yourself, and the risks would be less.

Although Chang Yu didn't know what was going on, after weighing the pros and cons, he said, "Empress, if you trust me, I am willing to do my best. But..." He stopped and said nothing.

He was inquiring, wanting to know what Queen Quan wanted him to do. If there was any violation of the law, he would not want to do it and could also advise him to stop him. At that time, even if the matter was revealed, his responsibility would be reduced.

Queen Quan is also a smart person with Bingxue. How could he not understand his thoughts? He said, "Your heart, Ai family understands that this matter is too important, and Ai family has no way out." Seeing that Chang Yu still didn't say anything, it was obvious that he was still suspicious and said, "What the Ai family can tell you is that if the Ai family does not do it, the Song Dynasty will be in danger. For the court and for the safety of the Chinese people, the Ai family has to do this." There was still one sentence in his heart that was "for the emperor."

Chang Yu never expected that there was such a big relationship. When he looked at Empress Quan, he saw that she looked firm and serious, and was definitely not like making false statements. He felt aroused and said, "The Empress trusts me, and I will never refuse even if I go through fire and water. It is my duty to be loyal to the court, and I have no choice but to be responsible for it."

Queen Quan was very satisfied with his answer and said, "If you have this kind of heart, the Ai family will feel relieved. Come and help me." Queen Quan opened the lock on the box and lifted the lid. A ball of white air came up from the box. Chang Yu felt a stream of air conditioning coming. Based on his experience, he knew that it was filled with ice.

Sure enough, he came up and saw that Queen Quan lifted up the thick brocade mattress, revealing a lot of ice cubes. The two of them picked up the ice cubes aside. Queen Quan lifted up a thin brocade quilt, and Xie Daoqing appeared inside. Even if Chang Yu wanted to break his head, he could not have thought that Xie Daoqing would be in the box. He had excellent medical skills and could see at a glance that she was already dead and had a pale face. For the Empress Dowager Xie Daoqing, putting her body in the box was disrespectful and wanted to destroy the family. Chang Yu was so scared that he fell to the ground and said in a lost voice: "Empress, this, this, this..." He said many of these in a row, but he couldn't say a complete sentence. The surprise in his heart was long beyond the description of the pen and monument.

"Shouhe Shengfu has already died. Shouhe Shengfu has recreated grace to the Ai family. Even if the Ai family dies, they cannot repay her great grace." Empress Quan lowered tears in her beautiful phoenix eyes and said, "But, but if the Ai family does not do this, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed." After that, she was crying. Just now, the cold-blooded beauty who was moving suddenly disappeared, and it was a true expression of love.

Although Chang Yu is a doctor, he also knows that the current situation is indeed not conducive to the funeral. You should know that Xie Daoqing is not an ordinary woman, she is the queen mother of the imperial family. When she dies, she will be a national funeral. According to etiquette, she cannot use weapons, which means that all military operations must be stopped.

For the current situation, the biggest beneficiary is Guo Kan, which is Kublai Khan. Empress Quan said that the Song Dynasty was destroyed by no means a false statement, and it will definitely become a reality. As long as he heard the national demise of Daoqing, all the military operations of the Song Dynasty were stopped, which was tantamount to letting the Mongols fight him. He could not fight back, which was no different from letting Guo Kan escape. Guo Kan was known as a god. Once he had this opportunity, it would be no difficult to fully utilize his talents to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.

Let’s take a step back, even if Guo Kan or Kublai Khan has the heart of a benevolent person, he will not fight during the funeral of the Southern Song Dynasty. At least Guo Kan will try to break through and create a good strategic situation before stopping. It is tantamount to leaving a big opponent in Jiangnan. What’s the difference between raising a human-eating tiger and letting the tiger bite himself?

Will Kublai Khan act with kindness and not fight during the funeral of the Southern Song Dynasty, and no one has any idea. Not to mention anything else, let alone Emperor Taizong of the current dynasty, who was determined to recover the land of Yanyun, wasn’t he just used the funeral of the Liao Dynasty to send troops? As a result, Empress Dowager Xiao was defeated.

Even the dynasty, which has always believed in benevolence and righteousness, will not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Moreover, the Mongols have been called barbarians since ancient times, and asking them to act in benevolence and righteousness is no different from playing the piano against a cow.

If Xie Daoqing's national mourning was launched, Li Jun had to stop all military operations due to the etiquette and legal system at that time. Li Jun, a modern person, naturally did not believe in the theory of mourning for three years, nor did he believe in the saying that war could not be fought during the national mourning. However, the etiquette and legal power at that time was very strong, and he had to surrender. Even if the etiquette and legal system could not prevent Li Jun from taking military action, it would create great difficulties. During this special period, God knows what would happen.

It is obvious that Queen Quan deliberately concealed the news that Xie Daoqing was dead. When the funeral occurred, it depends on the progress of the war. Of course, there must be a prerequisite, which is to protect Xie Daoqing's body. If the corpse of her, the empress dowager, is turned into corpse water and cannot be found at that time, no one knows what the consequences will be. Even if her corpse is preserved, it will cause a political earthquake, not to mention that if it turns into corpse water, it will have more serious consequences.

Queen Quan's actions are too important. Once the matter is revealed, she will be deposed and the slightest consequence will be injected into the cold palace. It is not impossible to kill the nine clans. It can also be said that Queen Quan has taken all her future, life, and the lives of relatives and friends.

If the incident of Dongchuan really broke out, Chang Yu, the accomplice, would be the most normal result to destroy the nine clans. It would be impossible for Chang Yu, who understood this period, to be scared to the ground. If someone else was a timid, he might be scared to death. Chang Yu felt his head buzzing, messing up into a mess, blank. It was not until Queen Quan reached out to help him that he realized that he had crawled up in a hurry, his face was pale as paper, and there was no blood at all. The cold sweat on his forehead oozed out like water.

"Wipe." Queen Quan handed over a piece of silk, and Chang Yu mechanically took the cold sweat on his forehead, even forgot to thank him.

Queen Quan looked at Chang Yu and said, "Do you don't want to do it anymore?"

Chang Yu calmed down, knelt down to Queen Quan, and kowtowed, "I am expressing my gratitude to the empress on behalf of the millions of Chinese people. My gratitude is unparalleled! My gratitude is doing this kind of benevolence and righteousness for the Song Dynasty and the Chinese people. I am fortunate to participate in this kind of benevolence and righteous act that has never been seen since the creation of the world. Even if the nine tribes were killed, I am willing to do it."

Chang Yu's words are by no means lies. He was definitely not forced to participate because he was afraid. He knew the power of it. Queen Quan was the queen and bet on everything. As an imperial physician, he could do a great contribution to China. Naturally, for him, a passionate imperial physician, he would not have any concerns.

Queen Quan was very satisfied with his answer and said, "That's good, that's good." The two of them took action and moved Xie Daoqing's body out of the box and put it on the bed.

Queen Quan pointed to a bucket of sticky white liquid and said, "This is glycerin, which can prevent the corpse from rotting, you inject glycerin into the body of Shou and Shengfu."

Chang Yu finally realized that Queen Quan wanted him to inject water into the body, and that he wanted him to prepare and inject glycerin into Xie Daoqing's body. I really didn't expect that Queen Quan, who would only laugh with the emperor on weekdays, actually had this scheming, and Chang Yu had to look at her with admiration.

"Abide by the order!" Chang Yu responded respectfully.

According to Chang Yu's thoughts at this moment, no one dared to despise Empress Quan, the queen who only knows how to please the emperor on weekdays, was not only able to make decisions, but also a great queen who moved everyone. Even the famous Empress Changsun of Emperor Taizong of Tang was not much better than her.

Although Empress Changsun has repeatedly corrected Emperor Taizong of Tang and is known for her virtuousness, if she encounters such a thing, I wonder if she has the courage to take everything on her as she is like the Queen of the Whole City to do such a great thing that is beneficial to the future?

Chang Yu took Xie Daoqing's hand, and gently used force on the index finger of his left hand, and a blood vessel protruded, piercing the copper tube. Then he poured the glycerin into the bucket, pressed the handle with his hand, and the glycerin was injected into the body bit by bit.

"After the efforts of the soldiers, the artillery has been all in place, and the preparations for encircling and annihilation of Guo Kan have been completed. It is time to start!" Li Jun stood behind the table, looking at Li Tingzhi and the others and said.

Li Jun said this with confidence, which made Liao Shenggong and the others excited about it. Everyone was ready to try it out. Since Guo Kan surrounded him, they were thinking about eating him all the time. This moment finally came, and it was impossible to not be excited.

Gundam stroked his white beard and smiled: "That's great. My Gundam has always had a good appetite. I have wanted to attack Guo Kan, this fat piece of meat, but I have never had a chance."

His words drew a chuckle.

Li Tingzhi glanced at Li Jun, and Li Jun was amazed in his heart. He said with confidence, no different from usual, but still could not escape the eyes of this person, and found the anxiety in his heart. This person's keen insight was even stronger than Liao Shenggong.

Li Jun's eyes swept across the faces of everyone, and they all looked eager to fight, saying, "This is a big operation. There are many troops participating in the war, and there are also big differences between the troops. The Huaixi Army, Huaidong Army and Sichuan Army have not recovered from the long-term battle and are still very tired. However, this is not the reason why we cannot eat Guo Kan. My meaning is very clear, that is, if you fight, you will win, and if you win, you will win. You cannot let one soldier and one soldier go!" He knocked his right hand heavily on the table and said, "Catch Guo Kan alive!"

This is indeed an unprecedented war. Li Tingzhi brought 150,000 Huaidong troops, Zhang Shijie brought 120,000 Huaixi troops, and Zhang Jue brought 50,000 Sichuan troops, which is 320,000, plus the Jiangnan troops, a total of 820,000. Guo Kan's side had 550,000 troops, and both sides invested a total of 1.37 million troops. This is the first time in Chinese history. It was the key battle of the Qin Shihuang's Unification War in Tianzhongshan, the Qin State invested only 600,000, and the Chu State invested 400,000, a total of only 1 million. The famous Changping War is similar to this.

Li Jun continued: "After careful consideration, in order to facilitate the coordination of the actions of each department, use limited resources most effectively, and hold all the troops into a powerful fist, I decided to establish a unified command body to command this decisive battle. Next, I will announce the personnel arrangements for this decisive battle.

"Liao Shenggong is responsible for this operation, Li Tingzhi assists, and Liu Hezi Senator."

Liao Shenggong, Li Tingzhi and Liu Hezi said together: "Abide by the order!"

Liao Shenggong is resourceful and has established his position in the army. In addition, he is very familiar with the situation, so it is very appropriate for him to serve as the commander-in-chief. Li Tingzhi has outstanding military and political talents. He has always been a famous minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. He is good at fighting and is loved by the soldiers. He is the best match for Liao Shenggong. Liu Hezi is resourceful and a coach who stands alone. Guerrilla warfare is his masterpiece and has been convinced by the generals. He will be the senator, which is similar to the current chief of staff. It is indeed the best match. It can be said to be a golden combination.

It can also be said that this is the strongest lineup and a luxurious lineup.

Li Jun continued: "What I want to remind you is that General Liao's decision is my decision. If there are any violations and the opposition, it will be the responsibility of General Gundam. If anyone disobeys the order, he will take it down."

"Abide by the order." Gundam received the order.

Li Jun considered that Liao Shenggong's qualifications were too shallow, and the generals of Huaixi and Huaidong and Sichuan Army did not understand him and might not be willing to listen to him, so he invited the veteran Gundam to carry out military law. Gundam's famous general, Su Wang, was convinced by the soldiers. With him, who dared not to follow it?

"The Yangtze River waterway is under the responsibility of General Zheng Jinghe. The Mongols will never be allowed to have one soldier and one soldier across the river. Guo Kan will not be allowed to have one soldier and one soldier across the Yangtze River." Li Jun looked at Zheng Jinghe's young face and said.

After a great battle, there must be many scattered soldiers trying to escape back to the north. No matter how perfect the war is, it is really difficult to truly wipe out the enemy completely and not let one person go, and it may be even more difficult than climbing the sky. In a perfect battle like the Changping War, a small number of Zhao troops broke into siege and fled, not to mention the coming decisive battle with a larger scale and higher difficulty.

"Abide by the order." Zheng Jinghe responded very concisely.
Chapter completed!
