Records of the King of Xin'an County

On the night of the [-]th day of the first lunar month in the sixth year of Zongzhang, an earthquake occurred in Yulin County, Shengzhou, and the disaster was severe.The next day, Shengzhou rebels united with Turkic Tiele and other tribes to borrow food from Shuozhou in the name of earthquake relief.After cheating to open the city gate, Shuozhou fell. The governor of Shuozhou and the governor of Shuozhou were determined not to submit to rebellion.The fugitive soldiers sent warnings to Daizhou, Yunzhou, Taiyuanfu and other places, and all nearby places immediately put on alert.

Afterwards, the rebel army widely issued a campaign, saying that the Shengzhou earthquake was a warning from the heavens that the emperor had no virtue, and slandered today's son who killed his father, killed his sister, and slaughtered his brothers.After the emperor learned about it, he was so angry that he fell to the ground in a sudden wind, and the Zichen Palace was in chaos.

"What? The sage has a wind disease?" Empress Du suddenly got up when she heard the news that the sage had fallen ill, feeling a little dizzy.However, at this moment, she could no longer care about her own body, and after supporting Shang Gong beside her to stand firm, she immediately walked to the outside, forgetting to put on the fur coat and sit on the Buyu.

"Ma'am, please be at ease." Princess Changning was also extremely shocked, and there was inevitably a little panic in her heart.Although she was married long ago and began to work independently, her father and mother still firmly supported the world she lived in.No matter who fell, it would be enough to turn her world upside down.Not to mention that in her mind, grandpa is almost omnipotent, even if he is a little weaker, he has never been seriously ill, so why did he suddenly collapse?

However, seeing that Empress Du changed from her previous calm appearance and walked slightly chaotic, she almost immediately forgot her complicated thoughts, and chased after her with her long skirt, took the fur coat handed over by the palace maid and put it on her: "Grandmother, the wind is bitterly cold. If you go on foot, you may catch the cold easily. Why don't you take a Buyu. It's better to let the palace people walk faster than rushing there by yourself."

Empress Du regained her composure and nodded in agreement.When she looked past her daughter and saw Princess Pu Yan, who was also unable to hide her worry, she immediately said: "Pass on my oral order to order King Pu, King Sipu, King Siyue, King Xin'an, and Mayor of Linchuan." The princess, Princess Qinghe, and Duke Wu will enter the Daming Palace to have an audience immediately!!" At this moment, she needs a group of reliable supporters to support her, so that she can deal with the ups and downs inside and outside the court more calmly.

In case... In case of eventuality, the brothers, sisters and nephews of these saints and Zong Zhengqing King Jing are the forces in the clan that can fight against the court officials.Then there are uncle Wu Guogong Qin An, and Jian Guogong Xu Ye, which should be enough to calm down those demons.However, all of this is not as good as the saint's dragon body.

Her daughters have not yet established themselves, and she has not yet obtained Cheng Guozuo's East Palace Prince——Shengzhou is precarious, rebels are raging, and there may be Xiao Xiao who is secretly plotting and harboring evil intentions.As for the many years of friendship between husband and wife, respecting each other as guests, raising cases like eyebrows, there is no need to say more.Whether it is the world of Tang Dynasty or she and her daughters, the sage needs to sit safely on the throne and plan strategies.

Thinking of this, Empress Du's eyes were slightly red with tears.The Penglai Hall where she lives is located behind the Zichen Hall, not far away.But in a short time, the Buyu she was riding in rushed to the Zichen Palace, and what she saw was the two imperial physicians from the Shangyao Bureau with a group of imperial physicians, Zhichang and other imperial physicians, surrounding the soft couch to give golden needles for the saint scene.

"Block the news, don't spread the news of the saint's illness to the Zichen Hall and Penglai Hall, and those who violate it will be severely punished." After Queen Du whispered a few words to the supervisor in the hall, she came to the soft couch and sat down, holding hands silently. Grabbing the cold hand of the saint, "Move the brazier over quickly, and after applying the golden needles, cover the saint with a thick brocade quilt."

Jian Guogong Xuye, Zhongshuling, Shizhong, Liubu Shangshu and other ministers stepped forward to salute, and they couldn't hide their worries: "Your Highness, the saint dragon is not in good health, and he should rest for a while. However, the situation is urgent now. Act according to the previously determined plan? The ministers dare not delay important matters, let alone make rash claims, and ask Her Royal Highness to make a decision."

"I'm just a girl, how can I interfere in state affairs." Empress Du looked at them with a slightly pale face, "Since the saint has prepared an edict before, just act according to the edict. Those who should send troops to counter the rebellion, Hurry up and go out; those who should deal with the affairs of the court should go back to the Minister's Office, so as not to lose the opportunity and cause a catastrophe."

"I understand." Everyone said yes, and they all bowed and retired.Then Queen Du said again: "The news about the saint's dragon body is not allowed to spread to the outside world. You should be able to understand my concerns."

All the ministers naturally nodded and agreed, and some of them occasionally had bad intentions, and they had to temporarily extinguish their private thoughts in their hearts.After they left, Jian Guogong Xu Ye, who was still in the palace, said: "The old minister has the courage to suggest that His Highness the Queen call Wu Guogong into the palace. The saint fell ill, and the old minister is about to go out. Only by entrusting the affairs of Shangshu Province to Wu Guogong can we completely rest assured."

Hearing this, Empress Du's expression softened.Although she had already thought about it, but Jian Guogong took the initiative to propose it, which showed that he really had no selfish intentions, only thinking about the saint and the court.So, she nodded and said: "I understand, Xu Gong's heart is at ease. During this period of time, even with my sick body, I will never let Xiao Xiao have a chance to make trouble. Besides, the saint is just a moment of anger Gong Xin will surely wake up soon. At that time, I will order someone to deliver a letter to Xu Gong as soon as possible."

When Jian Guogong and the ministers of Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province left, Princess Changning signaled to the supervisor in the palace to leave the living room and the prince.The former means that their mother and daughter have nothing to say to others, and the latter is naturally because of trust.The people in the living room listened attentively to the diagnosis of Fengyu, and wrote a few notes on the daily life from time to time.Wang Zixian sat by the side, thoughtful.

At this time, Princess Changning got the memorial written by Cheng Wei.Looking at the past with ten lines at a glance, his face became more and more dignified, until he found that there was a letter written by the traitor behind him, and he was furious: "Zhu Zi dare!!"

Her grandfather cherishes fame the most, and has been busy with counter-insurgency these days.Suddenly discovering that the traitor has the upper hand, and pouring all kinds of sewage on him, it must be infuriated! !Compared with several world fathers, his body has always been a little weaker, so it is impossible to say that he fell down because of this letter, and he is also in the calculations of this group of people with ulterior motives! !

After Empress Du saw it, she was as calm as usual.In her opinion, the sage puts too much emphasis on fame, which has both advantages and disadvantages.It is beneficial to be able to restrain selfish desires, ease brotherhood, gain prestige in the clan, and gain the full support of veterans because of gaining fame;

By the time King Pu and others arrived at the Zichen Hall, the acupuncture had ended, and the saint's pale complexion had slightly improved.Empress Du personally wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, and said softly: "Xu is too busy these days, he is worried about Shengzhou and the rebels in his heart, even sleeping and eating are a little restless. I have always advised him to rest for a couple of days day... oh..."

"It's true that there are too many things to worry about recently." Pu Wang Li Tai continued with a frown, "However, since I fell ill because of restless sleep and food, maybe I can recover after a few days of rest. In fact, during the Shangyuan banquet, I I feel that the saint's face is a little pale. After all, nothing is more important than not being healthy, so His Highness the Queen will try to persuade him again."

It was rare to hear him say such reasonable words, not only Queen Du, but even the two eldest princesses were a little impressed.

Yan Shi also said softly: "Uncle is still involved in the affairs of the court. After the saint wakes up, Her Majesty the Queen will let him recover from his illness. Even if there is something wrong, a group of ministers can deal with it .”

Princess Qinghe also sighed: "My fifth brother and I were the weakest when we were young, and it took a long time to get better, and we shouldn't work too hard. Fifth brother has such a temperament, so we have to let go of it. Since it is Emperor, why do you have to do everything yourself? So many ministers are not raised for nothing."

Princess Linchuan also nodded and said: "Even if it is a big matter, uncle and the others will take care of it for the time being. Besides, the children are getting older and can share the worries of the saint." Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something , paused, then changed the subject again: "This news must be guarded, don't let people with ulterior motives take advantage of it." The secret references were naturally King Qi and King Shu.The sage's knees were empty, and if something happened to the two princes, it would be difficult to clean it up for a while.

While the elders were talking in low voices, Li Hui and the others sneered after listening to the memorial and proclamation relayed by Princess Changning. .Could it be that in the name of revenge for An Xing and Duke Huai, grandfather was brought along by the way? If grandfather knew about it, he would probably be so angry that he would draw a bow and shoot an arrow, and shoot seven or eight holes in him."

"Now Grandfather is ill, I don't know what will happen." Princess Changning frowned.

"The chief commanders of the three routes have been confirmed. The west route and the middle route are naturally safe, but the east route—" Li Hui looked at Li Xin and Li Wei, "The general Ashina Zhenchu ​​should be a Turkic prince Was it with a eldest princess? When we talk about it carefully, we should call uncle. I only heard that his grandpa was very brave, but he also passed away due to illness a few years ago. As for him, big and small followed him. There have been many battles, this time should be the first time to serve as the chief commander of the march."

"If it weren't for the fact that he is from the Turkic royal family, my uncle probably wouldn't have chosen him. Besides, at the beginning, I thought that Shengzhou's rebellion would probably take the middle road or the west road. Manager. Now that Shuozhou has fallen, and Taiyuan Mansion, Yunzhou and other places are at stake, the East Road is one of the most important battlefields..." Li Wei analyzed, "If uncle wakes up, exchange Jian Guogong with him immediately, or There will be no danger, otherwise..."

Li Xin frowned and signaled him to be cautious: "In any case, this cousin has also gone through war. It might be a good game for him to fight against the Turks and the Tiele tribe. As a general, there should always be a chance to be alone. .If he can grasp it, he can go on to become the person his uncle relies on; if he can't grasp it, he can change his general halfway through."

"Changing generals before the battle..." Li Hui didn't know much about military affairs, so he stopped talking.

At this time, the saint slowly opened his eyes.While he was half asleep and half awake, he heard what the juniors said just now, and what they were worried about was exactly the thoughts that were circling in his mind at the moment before he passed out.However, the middle road is also very important, if it is not under the leadership of Jian Guogong, he will not be at ease.

So, he looked straight at them, then turned to Empress Du after a while, and said in a low voice, "I want to go to the imperial conquest."

"Sage think twice!" Empress Du's expression changed immediately.

"Zhen, Yao, Yu, Jia, Qin, Zheng." The saint looked past her and landed on Wu Guogong Qin An and his son-in-law Qin Shen who were hurriedly entering the palace, and repeated it word by word.
