The day after Xu Yanran was assassinated, Xiao Xiang took the imperial physician to the Xiangdong Prince's Mansion, and did so every day thereafter.
Xiao Xiang did not deliberately hide his whereabouts. He was also accompanied by the eunuch Chao Qi, who had received orders from the old emperor.
With Xiao Xiang mobilizing so many troops, many people thought that the Princess of Xiangdong was seriously injured. However, there were also rumors that Princess Xu Yanran was actually unharmed in the assassination.
Because the palace did not take any action after the assassination, and there has been no news about the princess since then, not many people know about Xu Yanran's specific situation.
There are only two general speculations. One is that Princess Xu Yanran was injured, and the reason why the palace did not take any action is that they wanted to focus on her treatment first. The imperial doctors brought by Princess Changle are evidence of this.
After the last discussion on the decision to march the army north, the old emperor did not even think of seeking permission from the civil and military officials this time.Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the situation in Nanjing is now complicated and there are many problems that need to be solved urgently. How can we choose this time to launch a Northern Expedition?But the old emperor seemed unaware of all this. He even asked about the first step of the Northern Expedition, the issue of troop deployment.For the army to march north, soldiers, food, and supplies are all indispensable.In addition to drawing elite troops from the imperial guards around the imperial city, the vast majority of troops must be drawn from various counties and vassal kings.After sitting on the dragon throne and talking alone for a long time, the old emperor Xiao Yan suddenly looked at the Grand Marshal Yuchi Fu who was standing at the front of all
At today's morning court session, no specific rules were reached in the end, and Xiao Yan did not give a clear response to the cooperation proposed by Louwailou.The experienced Xun Jiwu could see that rather than saying that Louwailou was discussing things with the court, it would be more accurate to say that the emperor wanted to take this opportunity to reveal the truth to all the civil and military officials.Xiao Yan was also anxious, but the officials who did not understand the situation were even more anxious.Things have their priorities, and the worst thing is to do nothing.After the court was adjourned, the old emperor called Xun Jiwu , Yuchi Fu and Chen Hengdao to the imperial study.The three of them originally planned to adjourn the court and return home together, and exchange their views at the same time. However, before they even left the hall, Chao Qi came with an oral order.Chao Qi caught up with the three and said from b
Xun Jiwu and the other two stayed in the imperial study for more than two hours after the morning court was dismissed. In the end, they even forgot what kind of mood they were in when they walked out of the imperial study.The world has been in chaos for a long time, and the current situation of confrontation between the North and the South has only been formed with great difficulty. When will we be able to truly rest for the people?The originally clear sky somehow became a little darker, and dark clouds gradually came.Jiwu seemed unaware of the changes in the surrounding environment. He just lowered his head and walked forward without saying a word for a long time. The Imperial Censor Chen Hengdao and Grand Marshal Yuchi Fu were in a similar situation.Among the three ministers, only Xun Jiwu had followed the old emperor since he was still a vassal king, so he knew very well what the old emperor wanted to do.The situation is not too bad, but
After Yuan Zhenhuan left, Xiao Yan in the imperial study began to review the memorial.Blessings come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.At this time, Changguang County in the south suddenly suffered a flood. The governor of Changguang County , Zeng Ruming, wrote more than ten memorials to the court requesting disaster relief.Xiao Yan placed the disaster relief memorials in front of him. He had read them all but had not yet marked them with a red pen.After a moment, Xiao Yan, who was a little upset, pushed the pile of memorials aside.At this time, Chao Qi, who had just returned from the imperial kitchen, happened to bring a bowl of soup in front of him."Your Majesty, please have a bowl of soup and rest for a while." Chao Qi said softly.Chao Qi, who had served the old emperor for decades, knew the old emperor's habits very well.Seeing this, Xiao Yan picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful. The sweet taste went dow
It was the first time the two of them were alone together like this since they parted ways in Zhijiang City.The past experiences are still fresh in their minds, and the two of them are no longer the same as before.Not much has changed, just the passing of time.Xiao Xiang was dressed in formal attire, and she was no longer the frail girl who was seriously injured. Looking at the shoulder that has recovered as before, it seems that the injury is no longer a problem.And Shen Kuang is still the ordinary Jianghu person as always.After the separation, Shen Kuang no longer deliberately learned about Xiao Xiang, but he did inquire about the missing people in Chaoping County.It is said that the imperial envoy Qin Lang later received instructions from the imperial court. He avoided the governor He Lianyun and Dian Dian Fang Mao , and used thunderous means to kill the forces entrenched in Chaoping County. This operation even affected several sur
After being alone for a long time, the world is slowly changing for Shen Kuang.From being young to being young, from being alone to having old friends, from caring about losing to being able to have something, it is the subtle influence of everything that has created the current situation of Shen.Although the old shopkeeper talked eloquently, his drinking capacity was very low. After drinking a small pot of strong liquor, he was already drowsy and speechless. It was just getting dark at that time.This was the first time that Shen Kuang knew that the old shopkeeper was not a good drinker, but several waiters were already used to it. Some even joked, "Don't be surprised, Young Master Jiang, that's what the shopkeeper is like. Don't look at how he usually talks about the world. "Maybe he was not completely drunk, so after the waiter finished speaking, the old shopkeeper who was already lying on the table suddenly sat up and said loudly and vaguely, "W
When the group of men in black who suddenly appeared steadied themselves and stopped moving forward, the situation that had been tense for a long time seemed to come to an abrupt end.The old man in black, Tang Cheng and the new arrivals were in a standoff.Tang Cheng was shocked to find that the old man in black kept staring at the people who walked out of the darkness, but never gave the order to attack.Bai Manyun protected Xiao Xiang behind her and took this opportunity to comfort her not to worry.The other servants who were accompanying them were now huddled in the corner of the wheel in fear, not daring to breathe.The old man in black did not take action because he could see that these men in black who suddenly appeared clearly had no good intentions.Judging from the leader’s voice, he seemed to be young, probably in his early thirties.After he finished speaking, he immediately looked at the old man in black on the roof and
After determining the specific location of the noise, Shen Kuang did not step forward rashly . He concealed his aura and gradually approached. Finally, he stopped beside the eaves of a high wall, where the shadow could just cover his figure.Through sensing Shen Kuang, he realized that there were not many people left here, and those who were masters at the master level seemed to have left.There was a lingering faint smell of blood in the air, and everything seemed to indicate that it had just ended.Shen Kuang was not clear about the entire plan of the Nanliang court, so he did not recognize those people under the eaves as Jin Yilang.The light was dim, and Shen Kuang could not identify the dead person for a while. As a result, the pursuit of clues was interrupted, and Shen Kuang was at a loss, not knowing where to go next.What those people under the eaves were doing at the moment were finishing work, cleaning up the bodies and wiping away the
Those thousands of knots, thousands and thousands , pass by with the wind, moistening things silently.Actually, I had been going to Louwailou for a long time, but fortunately, I finally had the opportunity this time and had a serious name.At first, Li Chengren and others planned to take Shen Kuang with them. After all, they were the elders in the family and they should come forward.But not long after, everyone received a letter from Louwailou. It was sent by Jiang Taixuan himself, and the general meaning of the letter was that Shen Kuang was allowed to go to Louwailou alone.Although Li Chengren, Zhu Tan and others were also surprised, they knew that Jiang Taixuan would not harm Shen Kuang, so they had to agree in the end, while Jiang Ning was apologetic.Dugu Nanqiao and Lin Wanzhao wanted to accompany Shen Kuang, but it seemed inappropriate to change the angle.Because of this, Li Chengren and the remaining people returned early.
How could Taeyeo tolerate hearing someone dare to take advantage of him like this ? Except for Yuan Daguang, it seems...As Taeyeono was thinking about this, he suddenly felt that the voice just now was very familiar.Chui Ye came to his senses and suddenly turned his head. The person standing next to the horse right in front of his sight was none other than Yuan Daguang .Taeye looked Yuan Daguang up and down, and he didn't know if it was the training on the battlefield that made Taeye feel that Yuan Daguang's previous unreliability was gone. After growing his beard, Yuan Daguang seemed to look much more pleasing to the eye.Seeing Chui Ye remained silent for a long time, Yuan Daguang laughed and scolded again, "It's been such a short time since we last met, have you forgotten me, Master Chui?"Upon hearing this , Taeyeono said, "How dare I? I heard that you were given an official position in the north. Things are different now."Hearing T
After all, a foreign land is not home. On this day of universal celebration, the prison of Jiantiansi is still deserted.Tang Mu sat at the desk, with paper and pen in front of him that the guard had just brought him.Yuan Ke ordered that all of Tang Mu's requirements here be met , so the guards did not usually be too harsh on Tang Mu.Tang Mu 's right hand holding the pen never fell down, and there were no clearly discernible words on the white paper except for the ink stains.Tang Mu had a lot to say, but he couldn't even write a single sentence.At some point, the two guards on duty brought in wine and food, "Your Highness, this is the food our master ordered to be brought to you."Tang Mu took a glance when he heard this and found that the food tonight was particularly better.Seeing this, Tang Mu smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your help. Is there any happy event tonight? Why is the food so delicious?"The guard did
That day, outside the city of Luoyang, all civil and military officials, as well as the common people, came to welcome the triumphant return of Gao Huan's troops.At the front of the team, the more than one hundred people from Gao Huan's army, including Li Zhi, were enjoying the approving gazes of everyone.Li Zhi, who had not set foot on his hometown for many years, was actually already feeling secretly excited and expectant after entering the country.Li Zhi observed the whole journey carefully, but most things were different from those in the past, even the emperor had changed.Officials from various places were waiting for the triumphal procession as they passed through the borders along the way, but in order to hurry on their way, the army basically just passed by.Everyone knew that after this incident, Gao Huan would soon be granted the title of nobility and appointed as prime minister, so some local officials even wanted to take the oppor
Before Rehancha's army of nearly 10,000 people arrived at Gerenda, they had already received the news that the royal court had fallen.The Wei army of 60,000 was waiting in full battle array, so how could they dare to return? So for the sake of safety, the army had to go north and find another safe area to station.By the time Yuwen Tai's army arrived outside the royal court, Gao Huan's troops had already taken over.Shen Kuang and Yuan Daguang also followed suit and saw the Royal Court of Rouran for the first time . Shen Kuang could not help but think of Tang Mu, whom he had met several times.According to Yuan Daguang, the Rouran Royal Court was built according to the highest city standards of the Wei Dynasty, so it was a rare strong city on the grassland, which was unmatched by Gerenda.Walking side by side with Yuan Daguang on the wide street, there are trembling Rouran people standing on both sides of the road. What makes Shen Kuang a little strang
When Gao Huan led the remaining one hundred or so men to retreat eastward and saw the fluttering flag of the Wei army on the top of the Gerenda city wall, even a strong man like Gao Huan couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.It has been a long time since I made the bold decision to lead my troops deep into the grasslands.The army had no place to call home on this unfamiliar grassland where there was danger of death everywhere.In the army, except for Li Zhi, Mo Ke and Wen Yi who looked better, the others, including Gao Huan, had no longer the charm they once had after experiencing all this wind and sun.They all had beards and looked very sloppy.In fact, the appearance of Gao Huan's troops had been discovered by Wei army scouts long before, but seeing that these one hundred people dared to approach the heart of the central army, it was tantamount to committing suicide, so the scouts only reported it and did not take action immediately.
By the Changting Lake, in Wanlai Village, this northern village knew about the great victory on the northern battlefield even earlier than Luoyang in the south.Zhen, who had long since taken off his official robes , was now fishing alone by the Changting Lake. The afterglow of the setting sun was reflected on the lake, making the waves sparkle and the sky appear the same color.Yan Lanzhou came from the village and brought news of the great victory on the northern front.Yuan Zhen was not surprised to hear the news, but he did not understand why the Wei Dynasty, which was obviously stronger than the Rouran in all aspects, lost so badly in the first battle.After Yan Lanzhou finished telling the news, he did not leave but squatted beside Yuan Zhen .Zhen, who had not caught any fish before, smiled and said, "No fish has taken the bait today, so I guess I will return home empty-handed."Yan Lanzhou shook his head and said, "A few fish are no
This caravan is naturally Lin Wanzhao and the others, and the one who looks like he has never seen the world is Lin Chongshan.Originally, after being warned by Shen Kuang, Lin Chongshan did not dare to leave Lingshan City with Lin Wanzhao and others at will. But this time it was different, the news was received in advance.That was the news brought by the people who were ordered to protect the Lin family before Jiang Ning rushed to Luoyang, but Jiang Ning also said that Shen Kuang might have gone north because of the delay.But Lin Wanzhao didn't care about these. She was not afraid as long as there was a chance.a coincidence that my family had a batch of goods to be shipped to Luoyang .a small share of Luoyang's business was also due to the Ruan family, especially Ruan Shuiyan's matchmaking.Unfortunately, Lin Wanzhao and the others were still a step late. By the time they arrived in Luoyang, Shen Kuang and Yuan Daguang had already gone
the top priority for the imperial court or the new emperor Yuan Ke .The accumulated problems in Pingcheng had already left the imperial court with no solution, and now this result had even solved a big problem for Yuan Ke .But whether it is good or bad, you don’t have to worry about it for the time being.had infiltrated the Rouran rear without anyone noticing, the news gradually spread in the city.Gao Huan, this long forgotten name was mentioned again. Everyone only remembered that the last time Gao Huan was mentioned was when he led troops as a general in the army and killed more than a thousand Rourans.Gao Huan's move had never even been noticed before, so when it was mentioned again, it was hard not to associate it with Yuwen Tai's plan.Some people said that this was a big chess game played by Yuwen Tai, who intended to take this opportunity to eliminate the threat of Rouran in one fell swoop . Others said that this was an unexpect
