Vol 4 Chapter 1414: Rumors

While Qi Ning was enjoying the world of two in a wooden house and Gu Qinghan, Emperor Longtai was furious in the palace.
Although Xiao Shaozong's rebellion gave the court a great shock, Long Tai did not set off too much storm waves in the ensuing period. It was because the frontline fighting was tight. He could only stabilize the capital with the fastest speed and the most peaceful attitude. The situation refocused on the battle on the front line.
At dusk, Lu Xiao, the soldier of the Ministry of Military Affairs, hurried into the palace to seek advice, and brought a quick report from the front line to the capital.
Lu Xiao lowered his head, and his face was very ugly. The emperor saw the urgent report from Lu Xiao, and his expression became dignified. He flicked the table sharply and said angrily: "Isn't Yuehuan Mountain a well-known battlefield master?" ? Why make such a stupid mistake? "
Lu Xiao finally said: "Sacred on the front, some of the folds sent by Yue Huanshan before showed that the situation on the front line was very beneficial to us. There must have been a problem with the grains of the Han army, and it has been shrinking the front line. The main force of Zhong Liao refused Collected in the front line of Zheng Jun, that is the only way to Luoyang, so to enter Luoyang, it is necessary to win Zheng Jun, but Zheng Jun ’s defense is strong and extremely difficult to overcome, and it forms a shape defense with the left and right counties. Huanshan said in a fold, Zhong Liao chose to withdraw to the front line of Zheng Jun, and it was cunning. If our army fully attacked Zheng Jun, the soldiers and horses of the two flanks on the flank would probably form an outsourcing of our army. Momentum. "
Long Tai said: "If so, why not break its wings first?"
"The Saint is wise." Lu Xiaogong said: "Yue Huanshan's mind was to break Zhong Liao's wings first, and then concentrate his forces to attack Zheng Jun. Chengyi County, located southwest of Zheng County, has weaker troops and Cheng Yi's Dinghe City is relatively weak and easy to conquer, so Yue Huanshan sent Xiao Pingzhi to lead him into attack. "
"Xiao Pingzhi's five-thousand horses, but the whole army was annihilated ...!" Long Tai's face turned blue: "Five thousand soldiers, so easily ruined ...!"
"Yue Huanshan has sent people to Dinghe City to fight intelligence beforehand. There are only two thousand defenders in that city." Lu Xiaodao said: "Xiao Ping Zhishan fought a tough battle, and the five thousand soldiers and horses were all brave soldiers, and Xiao Pingzhili A military order was issued ... "
"What's the use of the military order?" Long Tai threw the urgent report on the table and said angrily: "He has been killed, and the military order is a piece of waste paper. Yue Huanshan didn't know that there was a problem with that river beforehand?"
Lu Xiaodao said: "The Baishu River has always been extremely shallow, and horse riding can cross the river. Yuehuan Mountain has also been cautious and sent people to inquire. The Baishu River has begun to dry up more than ten years ago, and the water level has been decreasing year by year. Many fields along the river are because of Without river irrigation, the harvest is not as good as one year. "The look was dignified and said:" But Yuehuan Mountain did not expect the Baishu River to be a tributary of Baiyang Lake. Xiao Pingzhi crossed the Baishu River and was under the city. Zhong Liao immediately sent someone to seal Baiyang Lake. The other exits destroyed the dam of Baiyang Lake, so the Baishu River surged overnight. "
Long Tai was a little depressed, and his face was still extremely unsightly.
"Yue Huanshan learned that the water level of the Baishu River had risen, and knew that something was wrong, and sent troops to the reinforcements." Lu Xiao said with awe: "Zhong Liao secretly transferred his troops to Chengyi County, which was several times as small as Xiao Pingzhi. Xiao Pingzhi encountered an ambush and could only return Withdrew, but was blocked by the Baishu River, and there was no time to build a boat to cross the river ...! "
Long Tai said angrily: "The whole army of thousands of soldiers was annihilated. I not only deplore those soldiers, but the most important thing is that this battle greatly dampened the morale of our army."
"Sacred, in the final analysis, it is still Yuehuan Mountain who does not have a deep understanding of the topography of the north." Lu Xiaodao said: "Our army is pressing harder, but the more it penetrates into the territory of the Han Kingdom, the more unfavorable it is for our army. The more favorable. Zhong Liao knows the land of the Han Dynasty, the soldiers, the people of the time and the land, and Zhong Liao occupies the time and the land, and is good at taking advantage of the geographical advantages of the north. "Sighed:" Frankly speaking, this can not be All blame Yuehuan Mountain, and there is no detailed map of the north of the court so far. The battle map in Yuehuan Mountain is incomplete, which is why the Han people took advantage of it. "
Qi Ning got up, carrying his hands, wandering, and suddenly asked, "I told King Yiheng, why didn't I see him come?"
"Holy Lord, I heard that King Yiheng has gone to Beijing to do some private affairs these days." Lu Xiao said: "I'm afraid I haven't returned to Beijing yet."
Long Tai said annoyed: "I have something to look for him, but he is busy with his own affairs. He sent someone to find him back quickly." And said: "Yes, Yue Huanshan over there, so he should not venture, Zhong Li Pride is not a panacea, Mo Yao has to be caught in his trap again. "
"Senior leader." Lu Xiao stepped forward, hesitant to speak again, but his expression was more solemn.
Long Tai saw that Lu Xiao seemed to have something to say and said, "Lu Aiqing, what do you have, but it's okay to say."
"Holy Lord, you mentioned King Yiheng, and the minister suddenly remembered that in the past two days, there were some rumors between the capital and the capital of the capital." Lu Xiao said cautiously.
"Rumors?" Long Tai asked: "What rumors? About King Yiheng?"
Lu Xiaodao said: "It is exactly. King Yiheng ... not ... not the blood of the Qi family!"
Long Tai's body shook and changed color: "Who is spreading rumors?"
"The source of the rumor is difficult to find out." Lu Xiao said: "I don't know who posted the rumors about King Yiheng's rumors in some parts of the capital. Although the people in Kyoto quickly tore up those rumors, the rumors still spread. I heard that Tie Zheng has investigated the matter, and that people are strictly prohibited from making false accusations, but ... there are still some people who talk in private ...! "
Long Tai's eyes twitched and muttered: "Xiao Shaozong, you will not be peaceful when you die."
Lu Xiao heard clearly and suspiciously: "Sheng Shang, are you saying that these rumors come from Xiao Shaozong?"
Long Tai waved his hand and said, "These rumors of defamation of the court are really courageous, and the purpose is to pass on. These rumors must be put to an end immediately. If anyone slanders again, immediately ...!" It paused, thoughtfully.
Lu Xiao whispered: "The Holy Ghost, Fangmin's mouth is more than Fangchuan. There are such rumors in the city, and they should be strictly investigated. For a while, no one said anything. "
Long Taiwei pondered, and suddenly asked, "Lu Aiqing, do people really think these rumors are true?"
"Naturally is fake." Lu Xiao said: "It's just that some people are stupid and blunt, listening to the wind is rain, and don't have to care too much about the Holy."
Long Tai was silent for a moment, and finally said: "You first retreat."
After Lu Xiao stepped back, it didn't take long for the queen to take a maid of honor into the study room. When she saw the queen, Long Tai's dignified expression finally eased, showing a smile, and greeted the past, holding the queen saying: "Let You have a good rest, Mo is going to move around, really want something to find me, just send someone to say it, why should you come over in person? "The hand caressed the Queen's abdomen, whispered:" Do not make him too hard. "
The empress said, "The emperor knew that the concubine was pregnant, so he only started to care about him, but the concubine could not."
After Xiao Shaozong's rebellion was settled, the palace quickly restored the previous order, and the queen was naturally greeted from the Sima House back to the palace. After returning to the palace, Longtai was very happy, but the queen had already had it. Pregnant.
This is of course a happy event for Long Tai, but shortly after the rebellion, Long Tai did not publicize such a big happy event. Even in the palace, not many people knew about it.
Long Tai helped the queen to sit down, and the queen said: "The emperor has little rest in the past few days. Although national affairs are important, he should also pay attention to his body. The concubine has prepared some qi-enriching soup, and the emperor drinks more." Summoned the maiden to send the ginseng soup, poured a bowl for Long Tai personally, Long Tai took the soup bowl without a spoon, took a few sips, and saw the emperor like this, but the queen turned her face, her eyes turned slightly red.
Seeing this, Long Tai handed the soup bowl to the maid, held the queen's hand, and said softly, "What's wrong? The queen ... how did she cry?"
"No." The empress smiled reluctantly: "Concubine ... The concubine just thought the emperor was good to me, so ... 1"
Long Tai took the Jinpa in the hand of the queen, helped her gently wipe the tears, and said softly: "You are my queen, I naturally want to treat you well."
"But ... the emperor has no heart to guard against the concubine." The queen sighed: "The emperor, the concubine is the princess of Qi State, Daqi was attacked by the Chu State, the elder brother ... The emperor ... Brother was also under house arrest in Beijing. Didn't the emperor ever doubt that the concubine would be unfaithful to you? "
Longtai smiled and said: "Before you entered Chu, you were the princess of Qi, but after you set foot in Chu, you were my queen of Chu." Stroking the abdomen of the queen, her eyes glowed: "If you give birth to a prince, Then he is my prince of Dachu, the emperor of Dachu in the future. I only know that you are my queen. If so, how can I doubt my own queen? "
Empress Zhan Yan smiled ~ EbookFREE.me ~ took the soup bowl from the court lady and took the soup spoon and said, "Then I will serve the emperor to drink soup."
Long Tai drank a small half of a bowl, and then said: "The queen went back earlier, I was busy, and passed immediately."
The queen slightly clicked her head, and she stopped talking. Long Tai looked at her and looked at her, and said softly: "Is the queen still worried about Changlehou?"
The Queen smiled bitterly: "The concubine heard that Shen Tuluo had already committed suicide and was only worried ..."
"I have made him prepare the Hou Mansion. Although he can't let him leave Beijing, Ronghua Fugui is still indispensable to him. The queen should not worry." Long Tai said: "I also ordered people to bury Shen Tuluo well, he is Qi's Metropolitan Governor, as a soldier, has reached such a point that, with his temperament, it is not surprising that he finally made this choice. "
The queen knew that some things were foregone and could not be changed. Qing humming, thinking of something, asked: "The emperor knows that outside rumor, King Yiheng is not the blood of the Qi family!"
Long Tai frowned: "There are rumors in the palace too?"
