Chapter 289: Conspiracy to marry the empress

The snow was not over the foot, but the army had to move at full speed. The dense ruts and horseshoe marks stepped on the snow on the road. The bleak north wind quickly formed ice crystals. The first team was OK. The soldiers traveled very hard.
Even so, no one complained. There seemed to be only the sound of wind, horseshoes, and the sound of instruments knocking on the armor.
The three armies are all aware: their coach Han Yun issued a military order when the defeat. The coach will be beheaded if this battle is defeated, and other soldiers will also be convicted for this. This is the usual system of continuous sitting in the army. No one is immune.
In such cold weather, the hardest part of camping outside is the soldiers on the ground floor. Those adults and officers are okay. The last time they can stay in the carriage, there may be a stove. The soldiers on the ground floor can only sit in a cold wind around the fire. Overnight. It is for this reason that Han Yun ordered the soldiers to go at full speed. In order to be able to reach the next military town before sunset, a city that can accommodate 100,000 troops, the soldiers knew this, so no one complained, even if it was slippery. He fell to the ground and immediately got up to catch up with the team.
The art of war is clear: the army has not moved, the grain and grass come first.
But because the time was too tight, the army only brought a small amount of grain, which could probably support Linjiang City.
Qi Yan shrank in the carriage, wrapped in a fox fur owl sent to her by Nangong Jingnv before she left. A copper furnace was placed in the middle of the carriage. The silver and carbon in the furnace glowed red, releasing heat. No one in the army was more comfortable than Qi Yan, but she still felt cold.
From time to time, the carriage window was opened by the cold wind, and the cold wind blew in. When Qi Yan smelled the cold, she felt the cold wind pierce her lungs directly along her nose and nose.
"Cough ..." Qi Yan turned his head slightly and coughed a few times. Gu Ruolan saw and opened an inconspicuous cloth bag, grabbed a handful of herbs from it and threw them into the stove. The smell of medicine was refreshing. It smelled very comfortable. Qi Yan took a deep breath and felt that her desire to cough was not so strong.
Gu Ruolan: "Brother, are you better?"
Qi Yan: "Thank you."
Gu Ruolan opened the cushion of the carriage again, and took out a quilt from it to cover Qi Yan's body: "Your water sickness is most afraid of cold. You should go more and more northward and colder this way."
Qi Yan did not refuse, but pulled a quilt to cover his mouth and nose. Gu Ruolan saw only a silent sigh in his heart.
The body of her "brother" is still okay when she is raised in a southerly capital city. Even when she comes to this frozen northern country thousands of miles, she takes care of it ... The biting cold wind is enough for her.
Gu Ruolan didn't talk anymore, took out two puppets from the rucksack and baked them on a tripod with a clean cloth. The march was difficult. Even the Nangong Jingv repeatedly took care of it, and Qi Yan could only eat during the urgent march. This fruit belly.
Fortunately, the team arrived at the next city before dark, and the snow was still falling, breaking Han Yunye's idea of ​​marching and having to order a break.
Qi Yan was arranged in a small courtyard in the backyard of Taishoufu. Gu Ruolan asked someone to prepare a wooden barrel for Qi Yan to take a medicated bath.
After drinking the medicine, Qi Yan half leaned on the bed to talk with Gu Ruolan.
Qi Yan: "Sister."
Gu Ruolan: "Yes, brother."
Qi Yan: "I have something to ask you."
Gu Ruolan: "Brother said."
Qi Yan: "I want to know ... my illness has no effect here ..." Qi Yan stretched out his index finger and nodded at his temple.
Gu Ruolan was a bit surprised, because Her Majesty the Emperor had asked the same question, and she had already given the answer ... Didn't Her Majesty mention it to her brother?
If so, should you tell the truth?
Qi Yan sees that Gu Ruolan, who has always been upright, has hesitated to know about it, but she still wants to know how serious it can be, so she smiles comfortably, and whispered: "My sister doesn't have to worry, my own body is still clear. I just want to know how long the status quo can last and what are the most serious consequences. "
Gu Ruolan pursed his lips and twisted his hands on his legs. After thinking for a long time, he replied: "The elder brother's current physical condition ... is caused by water sickness on the one hand, and another one seems to have a toxin in his body. Flowing, I think of many ways that I can only reluctantly suppress. Brother's body is the most tolerant of labor. If you can choose a place where the seasons are like spring, recuperate with peace of mind, use medicine to suppress, dietary supplements ... Although you ca n’t fully recover, you can enjoy it. Ordinary people's day. "
Qi Yan: "Don't you have to take into account my feelings and choose those conservative words, I want to know ... Does my illness have any effect on my mind, if it can't be suppressed, what will happen in the end?"
Gu Ruolan took a deep breath and replied truthfully: "It has an impact. And this impact is almost irreversible, not just the brain ... the impact of each disease on most of the organs around the body is irreversible, but the current brother He ’s in good physical condition, and it ’s possible to maintain the status quo if he can take good care of it. I really do n’t understand why Her Majesty sent you to this bitter cold place ... Your Majesty also knows.

Qi Yan froze and murmured, "She knows all?"
Gu Ruolan: "Yes."
Qi Yan stumbled, not because of anything else, but because she didn't want Nangong Jingnv to know her current physical condition.
However, Qi Yan heard the dissatisfaction in Gu Ruolan's words and took the initiative to explain: "This trip to Luobei was not her, but I asked for it myself. You must blame her, if I did not plead repeatedly, She would never send me here ... I am grateful she respects my wishes. In fact, her decision is harder than anyone else's heart. It is me ... who is embarrassing her. "
Gu Ruolan: "Brother, this is just so hard after a day, why not ...?"
Qi Yan said firmly: "Since you are my righteous sister, there are some things you should not hide from you. I am the princess of Beibei Kingdom, Luobei is my hometown, and there is my Anda and my people. This time The war can be set off for some reason. My brother-in-law thought that I had died, and this time the soldier started to take revenge for me. Now the court is strong, the capital has a wide depth from the battlefield, and the grassland has no chance. After the thaw in Luochuan, the supply of broken grassland will become the end of the crossbow, and it will be difficult to turn back. Your Majesty has been diligent and loving the people, and has been able to apply his benevolence and sincerity since his ascension. People from all walks of life, and the foundation of the grassland has been eaten up. Although it has slowed down over the years, the people may not be restored to their heyday. If it were not for this one, there would be a cross between me and your majesty. Li, take advantage of this opportunity to conquer the grassland completely, so as to prevent the future ... "
Speaking of this, Qi Yan's eyes traced a gentleness: "Your Majesty ... I was thinking about my feelings and gave me this opportunity. This is also the last chance of the grassland."
After listening to Qi Yan's words, Gu Ruolan was inexplicably sad.
Gu Ruolan also heard about the Wei Wei incident. At that time, the emperor ordered the eradication. She also saw the mass grave on the road with her grandfather.
She really can't imagine the two people who hate the country's enemies, or the two women ... how much courage and heart to take, how much pain and obstacles can she resist to get to where she is today.
Gu Ruolan's last bit of resentment towards Nangong Jingnv also dissipated. Although there were still some places that she didn't understand, Gu Ruolan knew ... Her Majesty must be the "brother" who loved her very much.
Love so much that I cannot be selfish, love so much ... willing to bear everything to fulfill her wish.
Moving to another place, Gu Ruolan changed his mind to think of the crime of surrendering, if he was Her Majesty the Empress ... Will it still make his beloved to die to achieve his wish?
The answer is obviously negative. If you love someone so much, you will never let the other person leave you.
Regardless of the fierce danger of the battlefield, it is very likely that the body of his beloved will never return.
If you have lost your loved one, how will the one who survives live the rest of your life?
Just thinking about it makes me feel heartbroken, but Gu Ruolan also realized her determination from Qi Yan's words. If she can't stop this war, it will be a regret in her life.
Perhaps because of this: Her Majesty was willing to bear some unknown results and fulfilled her lover.
The room was very quiet, Qi Yan and Gu Ruolan were silent with their own thoughts, and a knock on the door broke the tranquility.
Gu Ruolan: "It's so late, who will it be?"
Qi Yan: "General Han."
Gu Ruolan: "How does Big Brother know?"
Qi Yan smiled and said nothing, took the mask next to her pillow and put it on her face.
Gu Ruolan opened the door, and it turned out that General Han Yun was standing outside the door. Gu Ruolan couldn't help but admire him, and he asked General Han to come in. He went out and brought the door with interest.
Facing Qi Yan wearing a mask late at night, Han Yun showed no unexpected expression, and he arched his hand to Qi Yan as usual: "Master."
Qi Yan: "General Han is polite. You are the commander in chief. I was supposed to salute, but my health is not good when I lie down. I lay down and I feel weak. I hope that Lord Han will forgive me."
In fact, at this moment, Han Yun didn't even know the surname of the sentimental adult. Han Yun didn't seem to care about Yan's identity, or he might have suffered from being excluded and learned to be clever.
Han Yun: "Anyway, it's harder to march on the snowy road than usual, and Han took the liberty to bother late at night."
Qi Yan: "What is it about Han?"
Han Yun smiled slightly and took out a slap-shaped ceramic jar from his arms. He passed a grown-up's carriage during the day and heard a cough. This is a jar of autumn pear dew, which the Xuanguan asked the housekeeper of Taishoufu to discuss. If the adults do not dislike him, I would like to smile.
Qi Yan thanked him calmly, raised his hand and took Qiu Lilu, but made an evaluation of Han Yun in his heart. This person is a delicate and meticulous generation. Although he has nothing to do, he is an emperor. For those who come in, Qiu Lilu is not expensive, and it will not constitute a crime of bribery, but it is what they need.
Han Yun saw Qi Yan smiled and was more happy. He leaned forward with both hands over his knees and leaned forward: "Sir, Xiaguanshi just looked at the map. Some people want to talk to the adults, do you know?"
Qi Yan: "Please, Lord Han."
Han Yun: "Ashamed, although Xiaguan is considered Rong Ma half-life, but Dolo North knows very little, but fortunately did some homework before leaving." Then he took out a sheepskin scroll from his cuff. Gave Qi Yan.
Qi Yan took a look. This is a map of Luochuan, which records all the states, counties and counties that Luochuan flows through.
Han Yun straightened his waist and continued, "Luochuan has flowed through nine prefectures, more than thirty counties, and has 28 cities. According to the report before the departure, the two cities of Luoshui County and Jiao County have already Successive fall, please look at the picture ... The two cities can be regarded as the rear of Linjiang City, so now Linjiang City has become an isolated island, and the connection with the outside world has been basically cut off. "
Qi Yan nodded, Han Yun continued, "If the army wants to support Linjiang City, it will be necessary to break through the blockade of these two cities, or make a detour to reach Luochuan from other counties, and then march on Luochuan. After the detour, Arriving in Linjiang City, which way do adults think it is feasible? "
Qi Yan did not answer, but instead asked: "What does Han mean?"
Han Yun: "Xiaguan believes that as a reinforcement, this unit must reach Linjiang City safely without loss. Therefore, no matter what the odds are, it is not advisable to have a direct confrontation with the enemy, and it is necessary to go around to directly support Linjiang City. "
Qi Yan agreed with this, but his worries deepened.
Han Yun sighed and said suddenly: "It's a pity that a military order was issued."
Qi Yan asked, "Why a pity?"
Han Yun: "Without concealing the master, Xiaguan's heart has a clever idea, or he can easily break the enemy."
Qi Yan: "I have also asked Master Han to talk about it."
Han Yun got up and came to Qi Yan, made a circle on the map, and said, "Sir, this is the 28 cities that Xiaguan Shicai said. Some of them have strong walls and many people. The rest It ’s just small towns. The city walls are mostly adobe, short and sturdy, and there are few people. "
Speaking of this, Qi Yan has roughly understood what Han Yun wants to express, and her worries have deepened. This Han Yun has surpassed the description in the dossier that year, so it will be ... by no means Bayan can resist.
Han Yun: "Xiaguan feels that while the flames of war are not over, it is not ordered to move all the people in these cities to the south. All the food in the city can be taken away. The ones that cannot be taken or are buried or burned. And all the defensive equipment must be destroyed. These cities are easy to attack and difficult to defend, so it is better to let them all out, so even if the enemy is captured, the city will only be an empty city, and Linjiang City will not have to tire to rescue it. "
Qi Yan: "Do you want to divide the grasslands?"
Han Yunmulu was amazed and said happily, "Yes! My lord, please see, as far as the officials are concerned, most of the foreigners gather in this area. It ’s been 300 miles to Luochuan. The following officials predict that we lost two seats. The city, but the number of aliens sent this time may not be much, maybe only tens of thousands, or even fewer. With the 100,000 troops and horses on the court side, there will be 200,000 troops in Linjiang City. The empty city that they lived in will give up, they will inevitably capture it. Defending the city will require troops. In this way, the combat ability of the aliens in a single city will be greatly reduced. We only need to notify other major towns adjacent to Luoshui to guard against grassland reinforcements and attack them with all their strength. Luochuan can cut off the enemy ’s food road, and it will not take long for their grain and grass to run out. Only when the spring of the next year starts, Luochuan will thaw at the latest in May. At that time, these aliens will become the babies. By that time, our army will ride on iron. When the nest is out, it is bound to be as powerful as possible, recovering the lost ground in one fell swoop, and destroying all anti-thieves! "
Qi Yan suddenly tightened her quilt, and then quickly released it. She groaned for a long while and said, "But ... hasn't Han Han set up a military order? He lost so many cities in a row, and His Majesty is to blame."
Han Yun sighed: "That being said, the subordinates really feel that this is the best way. I wonder if the Lord sent him ... can you tell your Majesty?"
Qi Yan: "I'm afraid that's not possible. General Han has issued a military order under the testimony of his ministers. Even if His Majesty is willing to believe, the courtiers must be held accountable. Although this is a wonderful plan, there is no way for Master Han to find another way."
Han Yun sighed heavily: "In this way, Xiaguan will not be embarrassed to send an adult, it is not early, Xiaguan retires."
Qi Yan: "No."
After Han Yun left, Qi Yan sat upright, his white coat on the back was almost soaked with sweat. At this moment, Qi Yan was very fortunate that he insisted on the battlefield, and Han Yun ’s voice was "annihilated" ... by his talent. Coupled with the forces of the imperial court, perhaps it can really be done.
Qi Yan slammed the quilt on her body: Bayin Ah Bayin ... Why didn't you just listen to my original advice?
Even if she has no relationship with Nangong Jingnv, in all fairness: she does not agree with the resumption of war in the steppe. In the past few years, the prairie people have gone through several eradications, and the tribal population went to Jiucunyi, how to fight the court.
Bayin, Bayin, I know the hatred and hurt in your heart, but ... why do you have to fight to know how to lose?
...
In a blink of an eye, Qi Yan had left Beijing for more than half a month.
Once the Nangong Jingnv went down to the Forbidden City in the half, but now there is nowhere to go, but she is at a loss.
However, on the third day of Qi Yan's departure, Nangong Jingnu found a new place to replace, which was the former palace of Liang Taifei.
The palace is now empty, but Nangong Jingnu remembers that Princess Liang used to believe in Buddhism, so there is a small Buddhist temple in her palace where several Buddha statues are enshrined.
From the third day after Qi Yan left, Nangong Jingnv came to the Buddhist temple every day, copied the scriptures, and then knelt and prayed on the futon.
If you can explain it, Nangong Jingnu has already explained to Han Yun, Gu Ruolan is also at Qi Yan, and she also filled Qi Yan with a lot of medicinal materials she needs. It seems that all things that Nangong Jingnu can do ...
Even if Nangong Jingnu feels uneasy, she wants to do something for Qi Yan, but finds that she can't do anything ...
After watching her board the carriage and head north, it seemed that the only thing she could do was to ask God to worship the Buddha.
Nangong Jingnv never believed this, but when Qi Yan was "poisoned" last time, Nangong Jingnv also prayed. As a result, Qi Yan was really cured. Although the truth was later revealed, it was just Qi Yan's plan. That's all, but this idea has taken root in the mind of Nangong Jingnv.
As if as long as she prays sincerely, Qi Yan can really be safe.
For more than 20 years since birth, Nangong Jingnv has never prayed for herself once, and rarely burns incense to tell the Buddha, but for Qi Yan ... even if it is nothing, she is willing to give it a try.
On the other side, the courtiers, especially the left and right servants and the six Shangshus, felt that this war is likely to be related to "destiny". Imagine: Why did Luochuan start a stone inscription on his front foot and start the war on his hind foot?
The North and South sides have been peaceful for so many years, why is there a sudden war? Perhaps Her Majesty's Emperor did not respect his destiny, God's punishment!
The officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs worked quickly and quickly collected all the men with a surname of Long in Wei Kingdom. The surname of Long was not a big surname, and if the age was not suitable, deducting those who were already married, less than ten were left.
Hube Shangshu also carefully selected three men from the birthplace and birth time who were also related to the "dragon", and re-beautified the portrait by the court painter into three scrolls.
That night, left and right servants and six Shangshu gathered again in Hushang Shu's residence. Hushang Shu took out the portraits of the three of them: "Look at my colleagues, these three portraits are the carefully selected birthplace of the husband. At this time, the surname is a man of appropriate age. The North and South Pacifics have been in peace for so many years, and this sudden war is likely to be a warning from heaven. Since there is a cloud of dragons and dragons on the stone, we can protect the peace. Give it a try. If you do n’t respect your destiny, nothing will happen. "
The crowd claimed that only the Ministry of War Shang Shu Qin De remained silent.
He was originally from the Jinzhou government, and Qi Yanti, who was fortunate in his career, came to this day step by step. Even though Qi Yan Jinzhou's identity seemed to have been overthrown, Qin De still acknowledged Qi Yan as a teacher.
There are men in the world who continue to play strings, and women ... Although it is not impossible to remarry, Qin De's heart always has a taste.
But Qin De did not argue for Qi Yan in the end, because he knew that the current situation was the general trend, and he was unable to return to heaven by himself.
Besides, Bei'anhou has been missing for more than half a year. No one knows whether he is dead or alive. Perhaps ... the person is gone.
Even more frightening possibility is: Bei Anhou sneaked back to Luobei by missing. What was behind the battle was Bei Anhou? If I take the initiative, will the truth be revealed in the future?
In the end, Qin De was silent. You adults only assume that Qin De is the acquiescence, a drama to force the marriage of the empress, secretly planned in the highest authority of the court.
