[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

Seeing that he was seriously injured, Xing Xiuyan was even angry, fearing that it would hinder his recovery, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty don't need to be angry about this, one day, they will surrender. The strategy of 'destroying gold first, then conquering Mongolia' cannot be changed."

We must always guard against the "historical inertia". Only by drawing the fire from the bottom can the Han Dynasty clothing civilization continue, and don't be mistaken for another 200 years.

Tu Yuanyi suddenly looked at his daughter-in-law's beautiful and sad face with phoenix eyes and Lingling, and suddenly said: "Gold/scale/qi/is/pool/middle/thing, once the wind and cloud change the dragon. Liu Bang was only the head of the pavilion in Sishui back then, and he was not involved in production; Han Xin didn’t clean his house and lived on others; Zhu Yuanzhang’s parents, brother and sister were all starved to death, and they became monks for a living. However, they are really heroes!” Tu Yuanyi felt that his wife was similar to these heroes. Wonderful, she is absolutely unwilling to let her go to the palace to fight endlessly with the women in the harem, but she is capable of grasping major events.

At this time, Xing Xiuyan thought he was self-confident, and couldn't help smiling and said: "Your Majesty is also a true hero. There is no true hero who is born shrewd and capable, omnipotent, and omnipotent. Napoleon said that the glory of life lies not in never failing, but It lies in repeated servants. Although His Majesty is injured at this time and has to bear the small thoughts of the Mongols, His Majesty will be unstoppable in the end. After a hundred years, all your enemies and difficulties are nothing but your medals, and you will thank you Your enemy. Just like your majesty defeated the old sage and the three kings in a fight, people in the world finally saw that your majesty is the real dragon because of them, just like Ma Baocheng was born rebellious, Jiangnan was touched by many forces, and they also used their own blood To prove what is regal."

Tu Yuanyi still knows who Napoleon is. When he was A Piao, he experienced the "Sino-French War" in this time and space. Xin Xiuyan also took the opportunity to tell him who Napoleon was.

Tu Yuanyi suddenly smiled and asked: "I have indeed killed many people. Xiuxiu is kind-hearted, so don't you think I am cruel? Isn't Xiuxiu afraid? Maybe one day you stop me, and I will kill you. What do you do?"

Xing Xiuyan couldn't help being taken aback, thinking to herself where did she violate his taboo?It was also because he had an "epiphany" after blocking the hidden weapon for her: as an emperor, there should be no flaws. If he wanted to choose to overcome her flaws, killing her would be the best way.

Xing Xiuyan thought for a while and said: "It is good to be safe and prosperous. Your Majesty really wants to kill me, but if I can't realize self-protection, it's my low ability, and I have to bear greater responsibility."

Tu Yuanyi smiled slightly and said: "Xiuxiu's knowledge, mind, and strategy are not bad at all. I think the only problem is that she is too soft-hearted. But in fact, what I have seen before is also the surface. I'm afraid it's the most ruthless, and it can do things that ordinary women can't do. How can Fenghuang be reduced to competing for food with grass chickens? "A phoenix falling into the grass is not as good as a chicken."

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said, "Does Your Majesty still want to boast about himself at this time?"

Tu Yuanyi stretched out his hand towards her, and Xing Xiuyan held his hand. His body temperature was a little higher than hers before, but now it is cooler than hers. It must be that he has become weak after being poisoned.

Tu Yuanyi said: "When I return to the capital, I will abolish the Yang family and make you the queen."

Tu Yuanyi knew her ambition before, but he didn't say it clearly. She was also a little surprised that he made such a promise at this time.

There was a glimmer of water in Xing Xiuyan's eyes, and he said: "Then get better soon, if you have any troubles, if I don't remarry, won't I be a concubine until I die?"

Tu Yuanyi smiled: "The only one who regards the dignified concubine as a concubine is Xiuxiu."

Ziyue also brought the thousand-year-old blood ginseng, which was cooked by Li Yizheng himself. The thousand-year-old blood ginseng is a treasure in the Prince's Mansion of Xining County, and he also took it out at this time.Although it was not precious to Tu Yuanyi, Doctor Li was giving him a pulse, which was mixed with other medicines as supplements, and the temperature of the decoction was well controlled, which was extremely symptomatic.

Xing Xiuyan personally fed him and helped him change his clothes. It was daylight.

Seeing that he was not in good spirits, Xing Xiuyan urged him to go back to adjust his breath, but he said: "Not busy."

"The saint doesn't care about his body so much, I'm going to be angry."

But Tu Yuanyi called Li Dequan outside the tent, and said: "Xuan Xining County King, Dingzhonghou, Sun Yuanwang, Wang Ziteng, Qian Yuan, Zhou Xianchuan, Lu Kun, Li Wenjun, and the Governor of Suining, Prince Ying, Jin Haochang, Xiao Jingyun, Tan Qian, Jia Lian, Ouyang Lei, and Chunyu Bai are discussing matters in the big tent!"

Li Dequan quickly ordered to go to the eunuchs to announce the decree.

Xing Xiuyan helped Tu Yuanyi to lie down on his side to rest, sitting on the edge of the bed and watching, Tu Yuanyi said: "You haven't slept all night, they didn't arrive so soon, you come up and squint together for a while."

Xing Xiuyan was indeed very sleepy, she lay face to face with him according to the words, and fell asleep after a while.

It wasn't until the first moment of Shenshi that Li Dequan went outside the tent to report that everyone had arrived, and then Xing Xiuyan got up to serve his disciple Yuanyi and put on a black dragon robe. He didn't wear a crown, but only a white jade hairpin.Due to the serious injury from poisoning, his face was a little pale at this time, and this attire made him look even more handsome.

He was carried by the eunuch to the big golden tent in the imperial concubine's soft chair, and Xing Xiuyan accompanied him to take care of him.

When the ministers saw the emperor's appearance, although their faces were a little pale, they didn't live less than half an hour as Ma Jianping said, and they couldn't help feeling relieved.

After paying homage, Jin Shichao, King of Xining County, said: "The envoys of the Mongolian tribes have not left the border town yet. I wonder if your majesty has any instructions?"

Tu Yuanyi lay sideways on the soft couch, and said lightly: "Since you haven't left yet, it's better to leave after the military parade."

Sun Yuanwang said: "Your Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition, so don't work hard for now."

Tu Yuanyi said: "Let's not mention this for now, Jing Yun, I heard that you found Prince Timur of Zhungeer?"

Although Xiao Jingyun has an honorable status, he is young after all, and his real job cannot compare with the big guys present.Standing at the end at this time, it is only ahead of Tan Qian, Jia Lian, and the second hero.

Xiao Jingyun came out and played: "The minister found the prince in an abandoned farmhouse near the border town."

Wang Ziteng suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I feel that the words of the Mongols cannot be trusted. The Khan King Geldan of the Zhungeer tribe decades ago was ambitious. He was the former General Yili, the King of Xining County, and even sinned against the horse. The Clan once suffered losses in his hands. After Ge Erdan died, the kings fought for the throne, and the Zhungeer tribe fell into decline, and it was not until 30 years ago that they made good business relations with Dazhou."

Back then, when the northern Zhungeer tribe wanted to get involved in Yili, Wang Ziteng was still young, and he went to Yili with his father, who was the governor of the county, and lived in that area for ten years. His ability and ability are also experienced practiced.

Xing Xiuyan couldn't help being startled, thinking to himself: Why is there Ge Erdan in this time and space?

By the way, Ge Erdan was born in 1644 in the official history, which happened to be when the Qing army entered the customs.This time and space was born in the great Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the turmoil in the Central Plains could hardly affect Mongolia for a while. At that time, people who should be born in Mobei still had to be born.However, because Emperor Taizong of the Great Zhou was a great hero at that time, General Yili joined the Great Zhou to stabilize the territory, which compressed Galdan's space.

Xiao Houyuan was just here to make soy sauce, so he positioned himself like this, but at this moment he suddenly smiled and said: "This is really a good way to hurt people! If the two parties collude and use each other, only they know, and they are not Dazhou people, when the envoys of other Mongolian tribes were present, Dazhou should not be too guilty of the prince of the Zhungeer tribe who was also a victim on the surface, otherwise other Mongolians might not be convinced after seeing it. And this matter Come out, the Mongols have the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos."

Tu Yuanyi's expression was a little dark and angry, and he said, "I'm still afraid that they won't succeed?"

Wang Ziteng said: "If Zhungeer's troops really have bad intentions, then they don't know what plans they have and who are their accomplices. We still have to question those traitors of the Ma clan."

Xiao Jingyun shook his head and said, "The thief won't say anything."

Xing Xiuyan has been listening to their discussions, thinking that if some Mongolian tribes have bad intentions and collude with the Ma family to make Tu Yuanyi suffer such a big loss, even if they fight one by one against the north, this bad breath will be hard to swallow .

Xing Xiuyan suddenly said: "Saint, my concubine has something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Tu Yuanyi said: "At this moment, there is no need to talk about many vain rituals, just talk about it."

Xing Xiuyan said: "My concubine looked at it, Ma's rebellious group, skin color, manners, and language are no different from the Mongols, so they have been in the paddock for so long, and our people have not noticed anything wrong, just take it as a standard The entourage of Erbu. How long does it take for a person’s habits to change? What kind of environment does it take to change? Just learning a language will not be self-taught, so they must live with the Mongolians for a long time. And The Rebellion of the Three Kings is really only a few years, so it is only possible for them to get along with the Mongols day and night in these few years. The Mongols are actually quite xenophobic. "When barbarians enter China, China is China", the Mongols are an exception. Back then when the Mongol Yuan occupied China for a hundred years, they could not change their habits. They divided the people in the world into four classes, and the ethnic groups were clearly distinguished. It is obvious that there is a difference between the superior and the inferior, but in fact there is also a difference between the Chinese and the barbarians. People of Dazhou, if they are not accepted by the superiors, it is not easy to be with the Mongols day and night? Unless they are merchants, Ma's traitors can give the Mongols commercial and economic benefits, so Ma must have partners in the customs, and there are Large-scale caravans, these few people are not enough. If not, then the Mongols will take in Ma’s rebels because they think they are useful. Therefore, the concubine thinks that there is no doubt that the Mongols colluded with Ma Jianping and others. What is clear is who else is involved, and whether we are going to make peace or fight."

Tu Yuanyi knew her mind long ago, but before he fully got her heart, or his emperor nature was difficult for him to make the woman come to the stage.But he didn't even cheer up his husband, she said that she wanted to stand by his side, and he also wanted to love her for a while, if he valued her more than his own safety, what would Jiangshan Sheji be afraid of.

Although the ministers felt uncomfortable seeing the women in the harem talking here, it cannot be said that this matter has nothing to do with the imperial concubine. The emperor was injured to save the imperial concubine.After the emperor was injured, everyone also acquiesced to the imperial concubine's arrangement order, and this is not the Zichen Palace.

Afterwards, the officials heard that the logic was very clear, and they thought that this woman's knowledge was different from that of ordinary backyard women.

Qian Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and there are clear instructions in ancient times. A campaign of war and conquest will not only ruin the lives of the people, but also damage the power of our great Zhou country. Since ancient times, the sage kings should follow the methods of Huang and Lao when governing the country. A few years ago, my Da Zhou had just been through the chaos of the Three Kings, and the sage had worked hard to achieve the hope of revival in Da Zhou. At this time, we must not raise troops easily."

Even Sun Yuanwang, Minister of the Ministry of War, also said: "I agree with Qian Shangshu's words. The sage said: 'Harmony against gold' is a national policy and should not be easily shaken. It is reported that the new king of the Jin Dynasty is quite capable and intends to meddle In Liaodong, if we tear ourselves apart with the Mongols, then we are afraid that the later gold fisherman will benefit. The Mongols are torn apart, and after Hongtai (that is, Huang Taiji), the later Jin continued to imitate China to build three provinces and six divisions, and the bravery of the Eight Banners Jurchen iron cavalry is still slightly Victory over Mongolia, this is my enemy of Great Zhou."

In the history of the Han Dynasty, it is difficult to tolerate the existence of a powerful dynasty with a structure and combat effectiveness around it, otherwise it will be the disaster of subjugation by foreigners, just like the Song Dynasty.

Sui and Tang conquered Goguryeo (absolutely has nothing to do with Bangzi). The existence of a powerful dynasty in the north is like someone else sleeping soundly on a couch.If there is no conquest, the disaster of the Five Huddlers may not be repeated.

Since the last Khan, Lindan Khan, the Mongols have never been unified in this time and space, and each tribe has its own way. Although some tribes also have contacts with Houjin, they also flirt with Dazhou, and take advantage of it.After this time and space, Jin Hongtai killed Doergun before his death, and Shunzhi was not the successor. After that, history changed a lot, and the matter of uniting Mongolia was disrupted by Dazhou.Although the later Jin Dynasty had not entered the customs, the establishment system was still there, so it was ranked as the primary enemy, just like the Song and Liao in those days, except that the territory of the Great Zhou was much larger than that of the Song Dynasty.

Tu Yuanyi said: "Wang Aiqing, you have visited Liaodong, what do you think?"

When Wang Ziteng heard that the emperor actually made a special inquiry, he couldn't help but feel happy, and said: "Your Majesty, there are currently [-] imperial guards stationed in Liaodong, and about [-] guards. Yicheng can still guard. But if Houjin borrows Mongolia, The land of Youyan will be difficult to defend."

Wang Ziteng said the word "Shou", which shows that in his opinion, the combat power of Liaodong soldiers is not satisfactory.Originally, the Liaodong area was the residence of the King of Beijing. It was said in the original book that the King of Beijing had the most meritorious service among the four kings, which is absolutely true.Back then during the Northern Expedition, the first generation of the King of Beijing was really a handsome man, and his troops were also strong and strong, so he was able to bear the brunt of the Jurchen iron cavalry and remain undefeated.

But since the previous generation of the old Beijing King, the Shui family has successfully transformed, abandoning martial arts and pursuing literature, naturally for the Tu family to let go of their suspicions about them.When Gaozong saw that the king of Beijing was so knowledgeable, he treated him very kindly, and he became a model.Therefore, the current king of Beijing, Shui Rong, has stayed in the capital all year round. Although he is a king with a different surname, the general clan is not as prosperous as him.

Tu Yuanyi let out a long sigh. Although he didn't intend to fight, hearing Prince Tengdu say "can defend the city" was a blow to the ambitious reborn emperor.

The affairs of the world are not solved by how high the martial arts are. The emperor is a skilled worker, and he is either ascended to a high position or respected by all officials.It's not that the emperor's decree is 100% implemented by all officials.

Power is not determined by your fancy title and nominal supremacy, but how many people you can control, how many talents you have under your command, and how much money you have in your pocket.

He is already very powerful, but the people and money in his hands are not enough to make him fight freely.

Seeing Tu Yuanyi's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, Xing Xiuyan knew that he was unhappy, and said with a smile: "War is a continuation of politics. If there are not enough political interests, it's like buying and selling are not worthwhile. Of course we can't fight. The minister died, this revenge must be avenged, if you want to take revenge without fighting a big battle with the Mongols, what are your ministers' ideas?"

At this time, the ministers first came to know that the emperor was unhappy, and secondly, the noble concubine was reasonable in what she said, so they really thought about it.

Xiao Houruo told him to think about state affairs, no matter how smart he was, he was not used to it, but when he asked to make nonsense, none of the ministers present could match him.

Xiao Hou said: "We can poison them, or we can set up a fairy dance. We can ask Stinky Stone and Lao Bai to do it."

Xing Xiuyan smiled with his hands behind his back: "The method must be poisonous enough, but they can't let them die in Dazhou. Immortal dancing is just a loss of reputation, and the Mongols don't pay more attention to fame."

Tu Yuanyi narrowed his eyes: "Do you have an idea?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "I'm not sure, besides, the ministers are here, it's not appropriate to say this."

Tu Yuanyi said: "If I entrust this matter to you, would you dare to do it?"

Xing Xiuyan said: "Why don't you dare? But if you want people to listen to my arrangements, there is a half chance of success."

Tu Yuanyi clenched his fist lightly, and raised his eyebrows lightly: "Okay, if you can successfully take revenge without fighting, I will definitely reward you well."

Xing Xiuyan squeezed her fists and said with a smile: "The saint doesn't need to reward me. I have been the most protective person in my life. Whoever harms my husband must show him some color. The saint retreats well to heal his wounds. I will tell you a joke after I leave the seclusion listen."

Seeing the emperor's concubine's words, all the ministers couldn't help thinking to themselves: The emperor really pampered the noble concubine, and the noble concubine really threw "Nvjie" into Gong's room, but the emperor just liked her.

And there was no censor present, and the others were either Tu Yuanyi's confidantes or were inextricably related to the noble concubine, even the king of Xining County who was originally a minister of a feudal town would not care about these things.

It is useless for the king of Xining County to be able to mess around until now and still not be able to see the wind direction of the court harem.Although this noble concubine came from a humble background, Lin Ruhai, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Shi Bai, a member of the military department, son of former Shi Taifu, were her adoptive fathers, and Li Xun, Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, was her foster father's in-laws of the Shi family.In addition, the capable and powerful minister Wang Ziteng had something to do with her, and even the Xiao family was leaning towards the noble concubine, and the younger generation also had a lot of contacts.Her foundation is not bad, not to mention the emperor's extreme love and indulgence.

At this time, Tu Yuanyi's energy was exhausted, so he only explained that the military parade had been postponed for half a month, and finally said: "During the period of recuperation, I didn't see anyone. If you have any urgent matters that cannot be resolved... the imperial concubine... ...listen to politics."

All the ministers were shocked when they heard this, and even Xing Xiuyan looked at him in surprise, Qian Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, although the imperial concubine is smart, she is a woman after all. Is it more appropriate to let the two princes and Prince Ying take charge of the government?"

Tu Yuanyi, Longyan Su Leng, said: "The first prince and the second prince are just children. Although the Prince Ying is also talented, his knowledge and strategy may not be as good as the noble concubine's. You don't need to say more when you are in a hurry."

Although the ministers have different moods, they can only respect the order.

Tu Yuanyi held up the imperial meeting and appeared in front of the people. No matter what, he stabilized people's hearts.

Xing Xiuyan accompanied him back to the bedroom to set up the tent, ordering him to retreat to the left and right.

Xing Xiuyan said: "Why did the sage issue that order? After returning to Beijing, didn't he let the censor impeach me?"

Once the nuclear bomb is bombed, will it be a hindrance to be a queen?

Tu Yuanyi smiled slightly and said, "Your concubine can try it. If you can convince all the ministers, I will allow you to manage the factory and other things in the future."

When Xing Xiuyan heard this, he couldn't help being shocked, and said, "Really?"

Tu Yuanyi smiled lightly: "But it can't affect the waiter, nor can it affect the childbirth."

Xing Xiuyan heard that he was not serious, and instinctively clenched her fist, almost punching him, but finally realized that he was injured, so she retracted it.

She sat beside him, hugged him, and said, "It will take more than ten days for you to recover, and I won't see you for so long."

Tu Yuanyi said: "You never saw you miss me so much when you were in the Lin family. You wrote a letter to your third sister, but you didn't want to write to me first."

Xing Xiuyan said: "I think you may not have time to read it."

Tu Yuanyi sighed: "I'm afraid that at that time you thought I was a five or sixty-year-old old man, and you didn't love me."

Xing Xiuyan said: "I respect and love. Sometimes love is not necessarily related to age. In our case, there are people in their twenties who are married to those in their 80s and [-]s. Although there are people who say it, life is like drinking water. You know how warm you are. , you don’t have to care about other people’s gossip. But now, we are still young, young couples come to accompany each other when we grow old, I think we know each other and love each other when we are young, and we will stay together when we are old, and then we will be A Piao together.”

Tu Yuanyi smiled weakly, and wanted to raise his hand, but Xing Xiuyan grabbed it and stuck it to his face. He was a little affectionate, but she smiled at him. They only had each other in their eyes at this moment.

There may have been many unhappiness, but every couple who loves each other starts with not knowing each other.Every couple also begins by not knowing how to be a wife or a husband.

……

After Tu Yuanyi retreated, Xing Xiuyan was thinking about avenging him. Although the Mongols also contributed to the confusion in logic, Xing Xiuyan still wanted to visit the Ma family.

Anyway, they were the culprits who scared her with snakes and finally hurt Tu Yuanyi secretly.

You Chunyubai, Jin Yiwei, and Li Dequan guarded outside the tent and forbid them to enter the tent.She summoned Xiao Hou and his son, and took Ouyang Lei, twenty Jin Yiwei masters, and four Xichang eunuchs to the place where the Ma family was detained.

It was a temporary tent, and most of the people were locked in animal cages. Their limbs and feet were not cured, and the surrounding area was closely guarded by the Holy Army.

Xing Xiuyan was wearing a Hu suit and her hair was tied up like a man's, but she didn't hide her identity as a woman.The Ma family's assassins naturally did not have any weapons on their bodies at this time, and they could no longer hide hidden weapons in their mouths.

The soldiers of the Gongsheng Army moved chairs, and Xing Xiuyan sat down in front of Ma Jianping's cage.Ma Jianping naturally knew her, so he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Ma Jianping asked earnestly, "Is the dog emperor dead?"

Xing Xiuyan chuckled, pointed at the red piping of her cardigan robe of the Tang dynasty Hu family, and said, "Are you colorblind? If something happens to a saint, can I wear this dress? Even a paramecium with IQ like you can be an assassin." ?”

Ma Jianping's eyes were red with fright, and leaning against the edge of the cage, he said anxiously: "Impossible! It is a poison refined from five kinds of poisons. We have done experiments, no matter human or animal, it will die within half an hour!"
