I am fish

In the 11th year of Shenchu, Li Julong passed away, and was given the posthumous title of Emperor Huai, and the whole country mourned.

According to the etiquette system, when the emperor dies, the officials and the people will have to mourn for three years. During the three years, they will wear sackcloth and filial piety and all entertainment marriages will be prohibited, and government affairs will also be suspended.However, Li Yanyi, Situ Weilun, and Sun Yao, the head of the Shaofu, believed that Dayu was now in the most important recovery period after the war, and many livelihood matters had to be dealt with.Moreover, rushing to Jin is only a temporary retreat, and the Hu people don't know when they will invade again. We should take this opportunity to quickly restore our national strength and military strength. If we have to serve Emperor Huai for three years, I am afraid that important things will be delayed.What's more, the loess righteous warriors within the national border are still in chaos, and they need to be crusaded quickly to reassure the people.

With the support of Empress Dowager Geng, the three-year filial piety period was changed to three days, which means that the burial service was eliminated.Due to the emptiness of the national treasury, thin burials were adopted. Except for all the concubines and maids who had no children in the palace, there were very few other funeral objects.

Emperor Huai has passed away, and there is still one most important thing to do right now——

Who will inherit the throne.

A country cannot be without a king for a day. When Wei Tingxu and others brought a decomposed corpse back to Runing and claimed it was Li Ju, Xie Fuchen took out the Emperor Huai's will to elect Li Ge, the king of Huai'an, as emperor.And on that day, the news of Li Ge's death from an overdose of pills came in a timely manner.

When this news reached Xie Fuchen's ears, Xie Fuchen was confronting Li Yanyi with the will.Li Yanyi sighed, put his hands behind his back and straightened his back, just like the emperors of all ages, even without the dragon robe, he already has the power to rule the world.

"It's a pity for Kang Song, who could have gone to Jili but didn't want to take the elixir and ruined his future early. It really is fate."

Xie Fuchen stared at her and said: "Although the king of Huai'an has a habit of making alchemy, all the pills he took are good medicines for nourishing the heart and strengthening the spleen, so how could he suddenly die suddenly. It is said that when the king of Huai'an died, his face was ashen and he vomited a lot of blood. The appearance of poisoning."

Xie Fuchen's words didn't make Li Yanyi feel any emotional ups and downs, her smile didn't diminish, she looked up at the clouds in the sunny sky, and looked at Xie Fuchen out of the corner of her eye: "Oh? This is really strange. Could it be that someone poisoned the King of Huai'an What?" Li Yan realized something, changed his posture suddenly, and lowered his voice, "Xie Sima, the king of Huai'an was the crown prince hand-picked by Emperor Huai before his departure, and he was poisoned to death. This matter is no small matter. According to Sima, Who would have poisoned it?"

Xie Fuchen didn't speak, he seemed to have expected it in his heart, but he didn't know why he didn't say a word.

Li Yanyi was not interested in him somehow changing his temper, she just took advantage of the situation and continued to question:

"At the beginning, Emperor Huai's edict was handed over to Xie Sima for preservation, and no one except Xie Sima had seen the content of the edict. If you want to say who Emperor Huai will appoint as the heir apparent, the only person in the world who can know in advance is Xie Sima. Right. The Liu family hadn’t given birth before Emperor Huai’s Northern Expedition, so Emperor Huai chose the King of Huai’an, but now that he has a crown prince, seeing that the country in his hands is eyed by others, the King of Huai’an must be having trouble sleeping and eating, and the Liu family is even more uncomfortable. Will be reconciled. It just so happens that someone actually sent the Liu family to the Huai'an Prince's mansion at this time. This person is really vicious, and he just wants to see them fight with each other so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman, right? The person who poisoned the Huai'an king is not only the Liu family but also Who was it? And who was it that colluded with her to assassinate King Huai'an...Thinking about it, it's really creepy."

Xie Fuchen didn't argue with Li Yanyi no matter what he said, he just said: "Now that King Huai'an is dead, the country can't live without a king, we should immediately hold a grand enthronement ceremony for the crown prince, and take over Dayu Jiangshan."

"The crown prince is just a baby, so how would he know how to take over the country? If the Hu clan commits another crime, is it necessary to send another incompetent baby to the battlefield?" Li Yanyi questioned.

"The emperor was assisted by ministers when he was young, and it has been like this since ancient times."

"Does Xie Sima have a candidate for the assistant minister? Could it be Xie Sima yourself?"

Xie Fuchen said: "The capable ones live here."

Li Yanyi smiled and said: "Xie Da Sima is right, those who are capable will live."

Xie Fuchen walked back from the Forbidden Garden, full of worries.

The carriage had already traveled more than half the distance, and he suddenly said, "Turn around."

"Xie Gong, where are you going?" the groom asked.

"Go to Situ's mansion."

"Huh?" The groom thought he had heard wrong.

"Go to Situ's mansion, Wei Lun's mansion."

When Xie Fuchen came to Situ's Mansion, Lingbi and Xiaohua just got off the carriage, Xiaohua carried Wei Tingxu onto the four-wheeled cart, Lingbi saw Xie Fuchen standing in the shadow of the corner like a ghost in the dusk, and felt "thumping" in his heart. After a while, he whispered to Wei Tingxu:

"Girl, it's Xie Fuchen."

The entire Wei family also noticed him, the guards all put their hands on the handle of the knife, as long as Xie Fuchen dared to do anything to the girl from the Wei family, they would rush forward and cut this old enemy into pieces.

Xie Fuchen bowed his hands to Wei Tingxu: "Zi Zhuo, can you take a step to speak."

Both the guards, Lingbi and Xiaohua were quite astonished. I didn't expect Xie Fuchen to be so calm and even call Wei Tingxu "Zizhuo" like a kind elder. I don't know what conspiracy the old fox has.

He was still on guard in his heart, but looking at Xie Fuchen's appearance, it didn't look like he was here to find fault.

Wei Tingxu asked Lingbi and others to retreat, and she and Xie Fuchen were talking twenty steps ahead.The voices of both of them were extremely low, and it was hard to hear what they were saying.

Looking at Xie Fuchen's figure and face, Lingbi felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, always feeling that he was different from the treacherous and frightening Xie Fuchen in her memory.

"Do you feel it? This Xie Fuchen seems to be a different person...something is not right." Lingbi said in Xiaohua's ear.

"Well, I feel a lot older."

When Xiaohua said this, Lingbi was taken aback.Xie Fuchen is more than ten years younger than Duke Wei, so he is about fifty years old this year.Originally, he was well maintained, and he was recognized as a handsome man by the Da Yu court. He was nearly fifty years old without a single wrinkle on his face, and no one doubted that he was a legitimate young man.But today, I saw that his temples were a little gray, his eye bags suddenly appeared, and his complexion turned blue, showing his old appearance.

Probably because after Li Ju's death, he knew that his life was not long, so he turned gray with worry.Lingbi didn't sympathize with him at all—I knew why I should have done it before.

Xie Fuchen and Wei Tingxu faced each other, and Wei Tingxu saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time, so he asked, "Why is Mr. Xie looking for me today?"

Xie Fuchen bowed his hands to her: "For decades, you and my Xiewei family have been enmity from generation to generation. The old man knows what he has done, and he doesn't expect the girl to forgive him. It's just that there is a wrong and a debt. The old man..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xie." Wei Tingxu said before he finished speaking, "But everyone has a heart, and the heart is not a tree or stone, and so am I."

Xie Fuchen smiled faintly: "Zizhuo has always been so smart, I was too worried. Now that the wind and rain in all directions has been taken into Zizhuo's hands, I lost this game. I sigh to myself that I might as well bow down. I just hope that after my death Zizhuo can find her back, if possible, there is no need to tell anything about the past. If she can be safe and happy for the rest of her life, this old man can rest in peace under the Nine Springs."

Wei Tingxu looked at the extremely humble Xie Fuchen who bent over and bowed, and endured for a while before saying:

"You don't need to say that I will do the same. Now she means more to me than before."

"Okay, okay..." Xie Fuchen quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Although the enmity between you and me is still unresolved and it is impossible to resolve it, but with your words, this old man feels at ease. The old man will not bother Zi Zhuo any more, and leave."

Xie Fuchen staggered a little, and got into the carriage with the support of the groom.

Lingbi and Xiaohua stepped forward, seeing that Wei Tingxu was a little deep, and asked worriedly, "Are you all right, girl."

"It's okay, just push me back." Wei Tingxu said, "We will continue to look for Wenjun tomorrow."

Speaking of Zhen Wenjun, Lingbi's heart ached.

Four months have passed since the battle between Mengliang and Liang. During these four months, they have been trying their best to find her traces in northern Xinjiang and even in the whole of Dayu. Lin Yue also joined them, and his beards turned white Bundle.

They can't find anything in Northern Xinjiang. They have already begun to expand their scope. This month, they want to try their luck around Runing. If they can't find Wei Tingxu again, they will go to the surrounding Hu people to find it.Although Lingbi was also unwilling for Wei Tingxu to take risks in the chaotic Hu tribe, she was also very concerned about Zhen Wenjun's whereabouts.

Four months, if Wen Jun is fine, he will come back anyway.I still don't see anyone now, I'm afraid...

Lingbi didn't dare to think about this outcome, the little monkey has always been lucky, and was trapped in the underground sewer before, and survived such a difficult situation, this time it will definitely turn the danger into a blessing.

Will.

Lingbi ran around every day and looked for it very hard. She didn't even have time to eat. She didn't sleep for two consecutive days, and fainted outside on the third day.

When she woke up, she had already returned to the Wei Mansion, and Wei Tingxu was sitting by the bed with a scroll in his hand.

"you're awake."

"Where is Wen Jun? Did Wen Jun find it?" Ling Bi barely got up from the bed, Wei Tingxu said:

"There are soup cakes on the table, eat some first."

"But……"

"eat."

Lingbi didn't dare to disobey Wei Tingxu's order, so she obediently ate soup cakes.After taking a few sips of soup, she felt a little nauseated, but Wei Tingxu was looking at her. She was afraid that Wei Tingxu would slow down the process of finding Zhen Wenjun because of his temporary scruples about his physical condition, so she could only force herself to eat.It was really uncomfortable to eat another three mouthfuls, and I stuffed another mouthful, my stomach was overwhelmed, and I vomited out.

Wei Tingxu found a handkerchief to wipe the corners of Lingbi's mouth.

"I just realized that I was wrong." Wei Tingxu said while wiping her mouth, "Actually, we have already known about Wenjun. Rationally speaking, we already know the result, but we just don't want to accept it emotionally."

"Girl!" Lingbi knew what she was going to say, and almost jumped up in anxiety.

Even though she was so excited, she still got the answer she was most afraid of.

Wei Tingxu stared at her and said, "I give up."

There was a sharp tinnitus in Lingbi's ears.

"It's a big taboo to act emotionally. Mr. Wen has passed away, so I shouldn't compensate you again."

"Girl, maybe Wenjun hasn't..."

Wei Tingxu supported her shoulders, his eyes were sparkling.

"Now you are the most important thing to me. We still have a lot to do, and we have to move forward step by step."

Ru Ning's midsummer was boring and dry, Lingbi sat in the courtyard, the nausea had passed, she held a jug of wine in her hand, and carefully filled the glass on the table with wine.Tears streamed down her face when the wine was full, and she raised her glass with a smile:

"Sister Wenjun, this glass of wine is toast to you. I hope that your next life will be safe and smooth, that you will stop running around and working hard, and live your life in peace... If there is an afterlife, I hope you and I can meet again and be sisters for the rest of my life. Come on, sister first It's done." Lingbi drank the wine in one gulp, and spilled the remaining glass on the ground.

The traces of alcohol on the ground disappeared quickly, as if Zhen Wenjun drank it for real and agreed to her.

The news of Zhen Wenjun's death quickly spread in Runing. Everyone knew that she led the army and Zuo Kunda chased Harz together, and her whereabouts were unknown. She should have died.

In fact, it was said that the news of her death was spread in Runing, and not many people really cared about it.Everyone only knows that the little lady of the Wei family who was reused by Li Yanyi is very good. She can make a strategy and go to the battlefield. She can even chase the leader of Chongjin, which is very brave.It's just bad luck in the end, and he may have died somewhere.

She is not the daughter or son of the Wei family, let alone Li Yanyi, her death will only make people talk about it.Maybe when the sun rises tomorrow, those who have been amazed by her, shocked by her and rescued by her will have their own lives and new goals. It may be their next meal or their future career. The three words "Zhen Wenjun" Will be forgotten in no time.

The wheel of history is rolling forward at a fast speed, full of power, and cruelly crushing all the past into slag.

After the death of King Huai'an, other princes died in strange ways one after another. This incident caused the entire Li clan to panic, and they all planned to escape from Dayu.But death didn't annihilate because of their departure, it still lingered like a shadow.

When Runing's summer was coming to an end, the 28 princes soon had only six left, and these six were Li Yanyi's right-hand men.

Everyone knows who is behind this.

Li Yanyi, a rebellious villain, a chaotic yin and yang maniac, finally revealed his ferocious true colors after the death of Emperor Huai.

The one who is most afraid is Liu Shi.

When she learned that Emperor Huai'an was about to leave, she began to panic all day long. She was on the spot when King Huai'an died.The Liu family immediately wanted to take the prince away from Huai'an Palace, she knew that she would be killed if she stayed here.

Her carriage was blocked just as it was leaving a street.

Liu Shi hugged the crying prince tightly and did not dare to let go. She lifted the curtain and asked, "Why did you stop! Didn't I say that no matter what, you can't stop!"

The groom dismounted from his horse in embarrassment, knelt down and kowtowed to the front.

Liu Shi was startled, and the three imperial Luanjia cars in front of her completely blocked the not-so-narrow road.Seeing that this is the emperor's ceremonial guard, Mrs. Liu was overjoyed and was about to rush forward. Suddenly a person came out of the Luanjia and scared her back.

"Li... Li Yanyi?!" Liu Shi was terrified, "How can you ride the emperor's car!"

Li Yanyi was wearing a black long-sleeved robe with dark patterns, with a dragon button on his waist and a white cloud crown on his head.No matter how she looked at it, Liu felt that her outfit was familiar, like the common clothes worn by the emperors of the past, but not exactly the same, but her posture was no different from that of the emperors.

Li Yanyi was not angry at her accusation, but came forward with a gentle smile.She took a few steps forward and Mrs. Liu took a few steps back until there was no way to retreat.Both ends of the street were surrounded by the newly selected Huben army, no one could see what happened inside, and no one could escape, let alone the widow and orphans of the Liu family and the prince.

"Don't panic, I just want to take the crown prince back to the palace." Li Yanyi said sincerely, "Emperor Huai'an has died and the king of Huai'an died. Although the crown prince is young, he is the only one who can legitimately inherit the throne. I know many people say that I miss The throne, say that I conspired against... hey." Li Yanyi said sadly, "Although I disagree with Emperor Huai, it is true that I am the main war for the Hu thieves who invaded his peace, and I have not been wronged. But this does not mean that They said it was right for me to seek the throne. Emperor Huai is my younger brother, a relative with the same blood as mine, why would I want to kill him?"

Li Yanyi stretched out her hand, and when Liu Shi was touched by her, her face was like snow, she turned sideways and hugged the prince firmly in her arms.

"Don't be afraid." Li Yanyi tentatively approached her cautiously, "I'm here to take you back to Ru Ning and back to the Forbidden Garden, and choose a day to ascend the throne to show the righteousness of all nations."

Liu Shi saw that Li Yanyi was gentle, elegant and flawless, and the righteousness in his eyebrows made Liu Shi feel a little suspicious.Since Xie Fuchen sent her to Huai'an Prince's Mansion, he never came or even asked her, Liu Shi has been trembling with fear and didn't know what to do.

As a concubine who has been intrigues with various concubines in the palace all year round and is suddenly favored by Li Ju, she doesn't know the truth of the court struggle at all.She also had doubts about Xie Fuchen, this man is good-looking but difficult to get close to, Li Yanyi is completely different from her.Li Yanyi's nature is hearty and loves to laugh. When she smiles, she is like a spring flower blooming, and she can get close to strangers in an instant, which makes Liu Shi, who is also a woman, less vigilant.And she even said that she would bring the prince back to the Forbidden Garden, and she said it sincerely and truthfully, which broke her heart.

"You, are you serious?"

"Naturally." Li Yanyi held her hand, and seeing that she was still on guard, he no longer forced himself, took a step back, pointed at Luanjia behind him, and said, "Look, I even brought the emperor's car, let the prince... No, let the emperor drive."

Liu's heart was hesitant and turbulent, she refused to get in the carriage, she wanted to go back in her own carriage.

Li Yanyi didn't force her, and just followed her.

Xie Fuchen was completely unaware of Liu's bringing the crown prince to Runing.

He didn't go to Huai'an Palace, because he knew that the mother and son were already a pair of abandoned children, and it would be a waste of energy to save them.

There are those who give up, and there are naturally those who are still calculating.

Originally, if Alai was still around Wei Tingxu, Xie Fuchen would have had many concerns. He had long felt that he was powerless to return to heaven, but who would have thought that God would give him such a good opportunity to make Alai disappear.

This must be his last chance.

He tested Wei Tingxu, and the reaction Wei Tingxu gave him reassured him.

Regardless of success or failure, regardless of whether Alai is still alive or not, he and Aqiong's only child will be settled.This allowed him to devote himself wholeheartedly to the last desperate effort.

Liu's own carriage was very crude, and the heat was unbearable. The emperor cried bitterly during the bumps, and the high fever was hard to get rid of.As a new mother, Liu didn't know what to do, so she had to ask Li Yanyi for help.

Li Yanyi immediately gave up his carriage to them, and asked the accompanying imperial doctor to diagnose and treat them.

Seeing the emperor slowly falling asleep in the hands of the kind imperial doctor, Liu Shi was vigilant that she was exhausted all the way, and leaned aside to want to take a nap, but she didn't expect to sleep soundly as soon as she fell asleep, and the carriage was already empty when she woke up suddenly.

Surprised, Liu rushed out of the carriage and yelled.

"What's the matter?" Li Yanyi suddenly came over with the prince in his arms. The carriage drove to the official road near Runing, and was about to enter the city. "I brought the emperor here to change a pair of diapers. The one he was wearing was already soaked. You don't know how to change it for her."

Liu immediately snatched the emperor back, and with the child in his hand, the heart that rushed to the throat finally fell back.

But Li Yanyi's expression was very strange, the gentle smile was gone, she raised one eyebrow and stared at Liu Shi, as if she was excitedly waiting to appreciate how miserable the prey would be if she opened the trap she set with one hand.

There was a "buzz" in Liu's head, and he immediately went to touch the emperor.

The emperor uttered a few ravings, woke up and looked at Liu Shi and giggled.

Liu Shi hugged the emperor tightly, and several ups and downs made her cry.Li Yanyi took out her handkerchief and wiped away tears for Liu Shi: "What's the matter? Is it possible that I will kill the emperor? How could it be? He is my own nephew."

Mrs. Liu raised her head and saw that Li Yanyi had returned to her previous kind appearance, her eyes were lovingly staring at the child in her arms, her heart was filled with coldness, seeing Li Yanyi reaching out to greet the emperor, she took a step back tremblingly and said, "Eldest Princess Don't worry too much, it's just that the Son of Heaven is too young, so as a mother, I can't help worrying a little more."

Li Yanyi withdrew his hand with a smile and said, "Since there is nothing wrong, let's start over there."

Mrs. Liu did not dare to close her eyes all the way until she returned to Runing Forbidden Garden. She held the child and cried for several hours in the palace where Emperor Huai was alive. , unable to bear the heavy responsibility of the country, is willing to give up one of the emperors, and select the virtuous and capable.The eldest princess, Huaichen, is a heavenly saint, with a superb spirit and martial arts.Kuangji's hardship is what the people want, and now he worships Zen in Huaichen.And she will take her children to guard the mausoleum of the first emperor and spend her whole life.

Liu Shi held the child in her arms and presented the memorial to Li Yanyi in the morning. She even knelt in front of Li Yanyi. If she refused to accept the throne, she would not get up.

Li Yanyi looked at Liu's begging for perfection, and thought of Lin Quan, who was loyal to her and was poisoned to death, and Zuo Xu, who taught her since childhood but was beheaded.There are countless counselors who followed her but died in Li Ju's hands, Li Yanyi looked at the sky——

The widow finally lived up to the high hopes of the kings.

Li Yanyi is about to ascend the throne, and her uncle Gengbai, Wei Lun, and Changsun Yao have already started preparing for the complicated matters of the enthronement ceremony.

Anything put on the bright side is just a blindfold, Xie Fuchen understands that Xie Fuchen tried to test Wei Tingxu at the beginning to determine whether it was time to act.

Many princes were killed, and Liu's mother and son had withdrawn from the battle for the throne. Xie Fuchen was not surprised at all. He was even waiting for these things to happen, waiting for Li Yanyi to think that all obstacles had been removed, and when the most suitable time for enthronement came, he would hold the sword to seal the throne. Throat time.

He still has [-] elite soldiers in his hands.

These [-] elite soldiers have always claimed to be suppressing the loess righteous men outside, but he has secretly transferred the soldiers back to a village thirty miles away from Runing.There is still his internal support in Runing City, even Wei Tingxu has his people around him.

As long as he gives an order, one hundred thousand troops will rush into Runing and attack together with the loess righteous men.At that time, the pitifully small Chinese army in the city will not be able to withstand the joint blow of the [-] army and the loess righteous men!

Of course, after the major event is completed, he will not leave the loess righteous men behind.

Unfaithful people are born rebellious and cannot stay.

And the successor to the throne has already been chosen.

Although Li Qing, the king of Wuyuan who pretended to submit to Li Yanyi, is not a clever person on the surface, but he can endure humiliation and take the overall situation of the country as the top priority, which is a treasure that needs to be polished.After killing Li Yanyi and cutting off the princelings, he supported King Wuyuan as emperor.

Everything inside and outside is ready, and everyone is waiting for Xie Fuchen's order to bloodbath Runing and slaughter the Forbidden Garden, and kill all rebels and thieves!
