The general said she doesn't take a wife

He Liang was swept over by Lin Aoxue's indifferent eyes, his face was as white as paper, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and fell on the ground tremblingly, his thoughts were confused.He has been under Bei Chenhe for so many years, and he did not one or two evil things for Bei Chenhe. For a while, he could hardly remember what Lin Aoxue said happened in [-].

But he understood that he couldn't say that he didn't remember, he could only hang his head and rack his brains to recall.

Some time ago, he confessed many things under Xue Renyi's torture. He recalled those things one by one, and then vaguely recalled that Mingzheng's fall in [-] was because he received a secret report from Beichenhe and secretly set up the guards. people withdrew.His throat moved, his teeth were clenched, and his hoarse voice was about to confess, but it had been so long, and he couldn't remember the people he met at the beginning.

"Besides that, what else have you done for Bei Chenhe?!"

After he confessed seriously, Lin Aoxue asked again.

He Liang took a deep breath, and while recalling, he talked intermittently. In the past ten years, there were six or seven incidents that caused some turmoil at the border due to his handling.

Even though Lin Aoxue didn't ask, he also talked about how he gained Bei Chenlong's trust and how he avoided Bei Chenlong's eyeliner, lest if he didn't speak clearly enough, Lin Aoxue would torture him.

He was already scared.

Manchu Wenwu was stunned, Beichenhe's face was ashen, and he didn't even have the strength to argue.

Lin Aoxue had a sneer on her face, and immediately asked the subordinate soldiers to escort a few people up, making them admit what she had done for Bei Chenhe in previous years.One by one, they are well-founded, and evidence can be found for a large part of them. Even if Bei Chenhe jumped into the Xingbei River, he would not be able to clean himself up.

He has done too many evil things over the years, no matter how careful he is, some will slip through the net, and there will be no clean clues.

In the past, no one dared to investigate because he covered the sky with one hand, but now, Bei Chenhe is already a prisoner. They shielded Bei Chenhe, and they would die sooner if they didn't get anything.

After these people listed Bei Chenhe's crimes one by one, the officials in the court who had been close to Bei Chenhe looked at each other in blank dismay.

Bei Chenling took a deep breath, then plucked up the courage to step out, stood in front of Lin Aoxue, and said to the civil and military officials:

"14 years ago, the Zhen Guogong's mansion was wiped out overnight. Everyone still remembers this incident."

Due to the crime of collaborating with the enemy, the whole family of the Duke of Zhen was wiped out by the emperor, and the incident happened so suddenly that people did not expect it. After a fire, no one dared to mention the name of Duke of Zhen Ning Yiyun, and the emperor would still Recorded in the annals of history, this taint completely negated Duke Zhen Guo's achievements in guarding the border and resisting the barbarians in the past decades.

Although the incident has passed for a long time, as long as people were in Beijing at that time, there was no one who didn't know about it. It was rumored among the people, and there was a lot of scolding, but the court avoided talking about it. Of course they all had such a weird thing. impression.

Reminiscent of the accusations against Bei Chenhe that Lin Aoxue just laid out, Bei Chenling's intentions could not be more obvious, but what surprised and shocked these officials was that the person who exposed Bei Chenhe's crimes and complained for the Duke of Zhen's government would be Beichenhe's daughter Beichenling.

This has to be said to be a very ironic thing.

As soon as Bei Chenling opened her mouth, everyone's eyes were focused on her. She pursed her red lips slightly, ignoring the gazes of these people, and not allowing herself to look at their strange winks. Instead, she sorted out her thoughts and continued. :

"At the beginning, it was only said that the documents collaborating with the enemy were found from the Duke of Zhen's mansion, but there is no definite basis for the existence of these documents. The late emperor did not send anyone to capture the Duke of Zhen. Slaughter the entire Zhen Guo Gongfu, and burn all the evidence with a fire."

The group of officials quieted down, everyone's eyes contained different meanings, Lin Aoxue did not say a word until now, and let Bei Chenling continue to narrate:

"What happened at the beginning was full of doubts, but no one dared to investigate further, but maybe God did not want to let such good ministers as Duke Zhen be wronged, and Duke Zhen's daughter, Ning Muxue, escaped by accident!"

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the Xuande Hall, even more frightened and unbelievable than when Lin Aoxue held the account book and read out Bei Chenhe's crime just now.The officials looked shocked and looked at each other, but no one dared to speak out at this moment.There was commotion in the hall for quite a while, but Master Hongming spoke at this moment:

"After this girl escaped death, she became a disciple of the poor monk by chance. She practiced martial arts for ten years. She disguised herself as a man and joined the army. Standing outside the pass, now that Beichenhe's ambitions are growing and he seizes the throne, it is also this woman who leads the army to quell the rebellion!"

All civil and military officials seemed to have been stunned by lightning, their eyes widened, and their mouths were hooting, their eyes subconsciously focused on Lin Aoxue, but seeing Lin Aoxue's tall and straight figure, dressed in general uniform, no matter who It is also impossible to connect this vicious looking general with a weak woman.

Lin Aoxue closed her eyes. Whenever she recalled the events of these years, there was always an uncontrollable pain in her heart that could not be entangled. It was hatred and blood and tears.

For the first time in 14 years, she took off the hair crown on her head and stood in front of everyone with another decisive attitude.

"Yes, I am Ning Muxue."

Her lips parted slightly, and she said this sentence clearly.

The entire Xuande Hall was silent, and needles could be heard.

The soldiers who followed Lin Aoxue to the Xuande Palace were also stunned. Although they heard Bei Chenhe testify that Lin Aoxue was Ning Muxue from the Zhenguo Duke's mansion when they were on the battlefield just now, it only caused some disturbances in the army. Lin Aoxue's reputation is there, even if they have doubts in their hearts, they dare not believe that Lin Aoxue is really a woman without definite evidence.

Beichen Kingdom is an empire respected by men, and women are mostly men's accessories, they are the capital they use to show off, few men can really respect women, and they don't think women can be better than them.

However, Lin Aoxue, who killed countless enemies in the past few years, was brave and fearless on the battlefield, led the soldiers of the northern border to completely repel the barbarians, broke into the grassland, and killed the barbarian prince. Lin Aoxue, who managed the border in an orderly manner, served as the king in the chaos, and Lin Aoxue, who completely defeated the treacherous minister Bei Chenhe, was actually a woman.

This fact has shocked countless people, even hard to accept.

But she stood there, even though her shoulders were not broad and her back was not thick, she was like a mountain, making people daunting.

"At the beginning, Bei Chenhe hid a document of collusion with the barbarians in the inkstone and gave it to my father. Less than a day after the thing was delivered to the door, someone came to ransack the house, searched the evidence from the inkstone and presented it to the palace. The emperor did not distinguish between black and white. , Without any verification process, the whole family of Ning Mansion was slaughtered."

"I am standing here today to complain for my father. He did not collude with the enemy and betray the country. He is a meritorious minister of Beichen!"

Lin Aoxue shouted incessantly, her words were convincing and resounding.

At this time, everyone can see that Beichenhe has completely fallen, even Master Hongming has come out to testify for Lin Aoxue, the world is already in Lin Aoxue's hands, and it is uncertain whether this country will still be named Beichen in the future. Counting, if they don't follow current affairs and want to stand by Bei Chenhe's side, then they probably won't have the chance to leave Xuande Hall again.

After Lin Aoxue finished speaking, Bei Chenling took another step forward. She glanced at Lin Aoxue, and under the latter's surprised gaze, she spoke again:

"The inkstone that hides the documents of collaborating with the enemy was handed over to me by my father, and then I gave it to Sister Xue, which led to such a big change in the town's government."

Bei Chenling was full of guilt. After so many years, she was finally able to reveal the truth to the public. Even if she knew that the consequence of doing so would be that she would bear a lifetime of infamy. She knew why Lin Aoxue didn't speak clearly just now, but she didn't want Lin Aoxue's. To protect, even if she is taken advantage of, if she did something wrong, she did something wrong, and she should bear this responsibility.

Bei Chenling's words completely cleared away the crimes that had been placed on Duke Zhen's mansion, but she also attracted everyone's sarcasm eyes while they were probing.

Some people may think she is stupid, but she only wants to have no more guilt in this life.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly turned around and knelt down towards Lin Aoxue. Before Lin Aoxue could stop her, she had already bowed her head, knocked her forehead on the cold ground, and said sincerely:

"Sister Xue, I apologize to you for what happened back then."

Lin Aoxue let out a long sigh, Bei Chenling's kindness and sincerity made people feel distressed.She took a step forward, helped Bei Chenling up with both hands, and said:

"You were only 13 years old at that time, how could you deserve such a serious crime? It's not your fault. The person who framed Duke Zhen was Bei Chenhe."

After Lin Aoxue's words fell, the Xuande Hall was silent for a while, and someone came out again. He stood in front of Lin Aoxue, bowed, and then said:

"General Lin, the lower officials also want to report Bei Chenhe."

Rather than let Lin Aoxue thoroughly investigate, find out the crimes they committed before, and convict them, it is better to admit it and crucify Bei Chenhe, so that he cannot turn over. Won two favors.

Those who can enter the Xuande Hall and become a member of the civil and military officials are not fools. They have a steelyard in their hearts, and they are smarter than anyone else.What's more, the emperor was fatuous and incompetent, and all the officials under his seat were treacherous. When Lin Aoxue had finished interrogating the traitorous generals in the northern border, they took the initiative to stand up and report to Lin Aoxue what Bei Chenhe had done in Beijing these years.

The tree fell and the monkeys scattered. They were once protected by Bei Chenhe, or because they offended Bei Chenhe and did not dare to publicize it, or they were taken by Bei Chenhe. People who were trembling all lost their scruples. The gossip started, but within a short time, everyone in the entire court denounced Bei Chenhe, it was really pointed out by thousands of people and scolded by thousands of people.

Bei Chenling's face turned pale. Even though she had anticipated the current situation when she stood up to testify against Bei Chenhe, even she herself was one of them, but when she really faced Bei Chenhe and was hated by so many people, , she still felt indescribable sadness and pain.

Suddenly, a civil official stepped forward, glanced at Bei Chenling meaningfully, and then said to Lin Aoxue:

"General Lin, my subordinates think that Bei Chenhe has committed a serious crime and should punish the nine clans!"

Beichenhe's nine clans are all people with the surname of Beichen in the entire imperial palace, and they have a wide range of ties, even distant cousins.The meaning in his words was obviously to get rid of Beichen's imperial family, so that those who exposed Beichen's crimes today would not be held grudges in the future. Among them, the most important person was undoubtedly Beichenling.

When he said these words, he believed that Lin Aoxue's intention was to be on the throne, and that all members of the Beichen royal family must be cleaned up, and that only the emperor had the right to kill people from the nine clans. He thought he had guessed Lin Aoxue's mind, so he couldn't make it in time One popped up, wanting to do meritorious service in front of Lin Aoxue.

With Beichenling's intelligence, why didn't she understand the meaning of this person's words, her face turned pale, and she was on the verge of falling.

However, Lin Aoxue took a step sideways, quietly blocked his gaze from looking at Bei Chenling, then looked at him indifferently and said:

"That's right, Bei Chenhe's crimes are indeed heinous, and any kind of capital punishment is not an exaggeration, but Princess Ling has been secretly investigating the injustice case of Zhen Guo Gong's mansion since more than ten years ago. , and also stood up in time to testify against the mistakes he committed, and he was a person of meritorious service, and his father's crimes should have nothing to do with Princess Ling."

The man wanted to say something more, but when he saw Lin Aoxue's cold eyes, he felt a chill in his heart, knowing that if he targeted Bei Chenling, he would definitely make Lin Aoxue unhappy, so he had no choice but to swallow his reluctance and say no more.

The old prime minister stood up and said:

"General Lin, the evidence of Bei Chenhe's crimes is solid, and there is no need to be sentenced again. However, all members of the Beichen royal family have been killed by Bei Chenhe. The country cannot live without a king. The veteran believes that General Lin is unparalleled in virtue and worthy of a heavy responsibility."

As soon as the old prime minister said this, all the officials fell silent. Although they had expected such a result, Beichen had never had a female ascend the emperor. The prime minister said:

"The prime minister's words are wrong. In this world, how can there be a reason for a woman to be in power? There has never been such a precedent in Beichen Kingdom."

The old prime minister only glanced at him, and said with a sneer:

"Master Li, Beichen's dynasty has passed."

The old minister who was called Mr. Li was choked by the prime minister, but he couldn't say anything to refute.After Mr. Li was deflated, the officials were silent for a short time before someone stood up and said:

"The lower officials also think that General Lin is worthy of a great job!"

Some old officials with higher seniority knew that Hongming had intended to implement the female official system in Beijing, but was later framed maliciously and left Beijing to become a monk in a fit of anger. Now even he, a man from the world, has been born, so it can be seen that women cannot become emperors It is impossible to convince them.

Some courtiers who were more active thought about it in their hearts. Although Lin Aoxue was a woman, she had already broken the precedent that women could not serve in the army or be generals.

Besides, the soldiers and horses under Lin Aoxue's hands are real. She has not used iron and blood to wash the court with blood. It can be said that she is thinking about her future reputation, so she doesn't do it lightly. Great, against Lin Aoxue's ascension to the emperor, anyway, they are all old Beichen officials, Lin Aoxue can clean them all up, and then change a new group of courtiers, holding the world in his hands.

The members of the Beichen imperial family are gone. No matter who is in charge of the overall situation, it will be a brand new dynasty. Since no matter which road leads to an end, why should they stubbornly resist and ask for trouble?

Therefore, the courtiers who figured this out stood up at this moment and echoed one after another:

"My minister agrees."

Even Bei Chenling lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully:

"Sister Xue is the best candidate."

There are still veterans who abide by the old system and are unwilling to compromise. Lin Aoxue has made up her mind, and the situation in the court is clear at a glance, so she walked out, first bowed to those veterans with her hands clasped fists, and the veterans snorted coldly, She didn't give her a good look, and Lin Aoxue didn't mind. When she got up, she said:

"Everyone thinks that women are not allowed to be in power because of face and dignity. They think that women's talents and virtues are not as good as men, and there is no precedent in history for women to govern, and there is no precedent for women to be generals. But this general will lead the three armies and kill the enemy Where were you when you were at the border? Where were you when the general put down the rebellion, captured Bei Chenhe, and investigated past injustices?"

She raised her voice, her eyes were bright, and she glanced at everyone in the Xuande Hall:

"Standing here, this general is already standing outside the rules. Since he is the winner and loser, this throne, only this general will say no, but you shouldn't wait to say no!"

Those old officials turned pale with shock from Lin Aoxue's aura, but they were blocked and couldn't speak a word.

Lin Aoxue waved her arm and said coldly:

"If you don't want to be loyal to this general, this general will not embarrass him. Allow Er to resign from office and go back to seclusion. If you are willing to follow this general to open up a prosperous world and not repeat the same mistakes in the future, you will be able to forget the mistakes you have committed in the past. !"

Her voice spread far away, and everyone could hear it clearly.

For many people in this hall, the words "let the past not blame" are salvation, dispelling the deepest worries in their hearts.After Lin Aoxue finished speaking, the old prime minister was the first to step forward and bowed in front of Lin Aoxue:

"Please ask General Lin to take the throne."

Up to this moment, no one hesitated anymore, they all knelt down and kowtowed, shouting loudly:

"Invite General Lin to ascend the Holy Throne!"

Bei Chenling also knelt down in front of Lin Aoxue, bowed her head and said:

"Please ask Sister Xue to ascend the Holy Throne."

Lin Aoxue let out a long breath, she clenched her fists tightly, in a trance, as if she had returned to the day when she took the position of General of the Three Armies.At that time, just like now, all the generals in the northern border fell beside her and asked her to take the throne.

She kept her name incognito for more than ten years, and finally rectified her father's name on this day, and she has reached a step that thousands of people can only dream of.But in her heart, there was no wave, no joy, no joy, and no excitement or madness that would drive people crazy.

Her taking this step means that her every move will be monitored by the world, and her life no longer belongs to her. If she does not have enough ability, she will live a more passive life than she is now.

She didn't know what reason she could use to marry Yunyan.

She closed her eyes suddenly, and after a while, when her eyes opened again, the brilliance in those eyes had become deep and boundless.There is no arrow to turn back when you open the bow. Since there is no way to retreat, you simply hold everything in your own hands.

She wants to own the world, hold power in the court, not hand over her own destiny to others, and not let these weeds influence her decision.With this, she can devote her whole life to quell the turmoil in the world and expand the prosperity of the rivers and rivers.

Only Yunyan, she will not let go.

She wants to create a prosperous world, but she doesn't want to be a wise king.

Lin Aoxue's heart has never been firmer, she is not afraid of being infamous, not afraid of being criticized by thousands of people, and spurned by thousands of people.

It's rare to get drunk in life. She is over thirty years old, and she has avenged her revenge. Why don't she let herself go?

Without any hesitation, she stepped forward and climbed the jade steps in front of the throne step by step.

When she flicked her clothes and sat down on the throne, there was no sound in the chaotic hall. In the next moment, everyone prostrated themselves on the ground, extending from the Xuande Hall to the entire palace, and then to all the soldiers of the Northern Territory outside the palace. shouted loudly:

"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

When all the people shouted long live, Bei Chenhe's crazy laughter spread throughout the Xuande Hall. He tried his best to remove those who prevented him from ascending to the throne one by one. How could he be willing to fail at the last moment?

He has worked hard all his life to make a wedding dress for others, but the confidant he brought up with one hand is the daughter of the enemy, the ants he never cared about, but he is supported by thousands of people in front of him, sits on the dragon chair, and takes away Everything he dreamed of, how could he not be crazy?

Bei Chenhe's laughter made people's face change, but Lin Aoxue, who was sitting on the throne, did not change her face. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and there was a cold murderous intent in her eyes. Taoist decree:

"Bei Chenhe, the criminal official of the former court, killed people and harmed Zhongliang. His life's crimes are too numerous to write down. He must be prosecuted in the street and declare his crimes. He will be punished by Ling Chi! Executed before the enthronement ceremony!"

Although she has already sat on the throne today, the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held. The new emperor ascends the throne and wants to change the name of the country. From that moment on, Lin Aoxue is the real king of the country.

Lin Aoxue will never give Bei Chenhe this chance. The reason why she didn't let Bei Chenhe be executed immediately is because there are still many things that need to be dealt with before she ascends the throne, whether it is the rebellion in the palace or not. , or the remnants of Bei Chenhe's subordinates, all must be cleaned up, to prevent Bei Chenhe from being robbed and imprisoned when he is taken to the street.

Lin Aoxue has never been a soft-hearted person, once she has made up her mind, she will not have any hesitation.

When all the dust settled, it was already afternoon outside, when the sun was at its strongest.

Bei Chenhe was taken down and put in the sky prison. Lin Aoxue issued several government orders one after another, including disbanding the concubines from the harem, letting old ministers who refused to be loyal return home, setting a time for the enthronement ceremony, and appointing Bei Chenling as the auxiliary female head Officials, hand-picked a few meritorious ministers.

Bei Chenling was quite moved by this. She knew that Lin Aoxue couldn't wait to give her an official position in order to prevent her from being criticized by others. , You have to weigh the weight.

Lin Aoxue has not made any arrangements for the promotion and demotion of old and middle officials. She plans to ask the old prime minister and Master Hongming to check on her, make a list, promote those who are available, and then make plans.

Lin Aoxue did not allow civil and military officials to leave the palace until all the affairs were arranged.

The sun was setting towards the west, and Lin Aoxue came out from the Xuande Palace. Although the enthronement ceremony had not yet been held, her status was different now, the world had changed hands, and there were many guards behind her.

Lin Aoxue was worried about Yunyan in her heart, and wanted to know how Yunyan arranged Que Rong, so she hurried out of the palace.

She asked her subordinates to tell her where Yunyan was so that she could look for it. Unexpectedly, when Lin Aoxue came out of the palace, she received a report that Yunyan had burned Que Rong's bones, and then hugged the ashes. Tanzi was about to leave the capital, and was waiting for her at the city gate.

Lin Aoxue turned pale with shock when she heard the words, and hastily rushed towards the gate of the city.

While walking on the road, she kept thinking about why Yunyan suddenly decided to leave. Fortunately, the capital is still under martial law, so Yunyan could not leave quietly.

Yun Yan never thought of leaving secretly. There was such a big turmoil in the capital, Lin Aoxue had already ordered the city to be closed, and each gate was guarded by more than a hundred guards. At least until Bei Chenhe was executed, Lin Aoxue would not allow anyone Leave from the capital.

After thinking about it, she knew that even if she insisted on leaving with a Gu technique, Lin Aoxue would get the news immediately and send someone to chase her. There was no way for her to leave secretly.

Rather than that, she might as well wait here and tell Lin Aoxue exactly what she decided to do.

These matters should also be discussed with Lin Aoxue.

She sighed softly, just thinking that if she saw Lin Aoxue again, she was afraid that she would not be able to make up her mind anymore.

When it was getting dark, Lin Aoxue finally arrived. The man trotted all the way, panting. When he got close, he couldn't even catch his breath. The first sentence he said was:

"Yan'er, where are you going?"

Yun Yan stared at Lin Aoxue, her heart had not yet escaped from the grief, her heart was heavy and oppressed, it was rare for her to be so self-willed, she said to Lin Aoxue:

"I'm going to the southern border."
