Raid

In fact, Li Shengxi came sooner than everyone thought. The reason why he released the news that he would arrive in two days was actually to give the Northern Qi court a chance to "chaos".

It's very simple. The Northern Qi court was a chaotic environment. In front of the enemy, there would be people with lofty ideals and benevolent people.

If Wangjing is really united and there is old general Guo around, she may be helpless for a while, but once Wangjing is in chaos, it will be self-defeating.

Once Wangjing is in chaos, then Wangjing will be handed over to Xu Huanzhi.The 2 people who came galloping with her were waiting to deal with General Guo who was still fighting the chaos in Yaozhou.

On the silent Wangjing City Wall, a sound of soldiers pierced the tranquility of the night sky.A change surrounding King Zhao and Queen is happening quietly.

Li Shengxi stood on the Longshang outside the city, watching the chaos condescendingly. He never expected that such a change would happen in Wangjing just after her 2 troops started to garrison.

Li Sheng watched from a distance, even if he was several miles away, he could still see the fighting in Wangjing.

Wu Yang and Nian Xi stood on the left and right sides behind Li Shengxi.

"Your Highness, Yue Mingyun lost contact." Wu Yang said in a deep voice.

Li Shengxi needed to know something about Wangjing, so he sent the message in advance and asked Wu Yang to wait here.

"Lost contact?" Li Shengxi frowned slightly, "What do you say?"

"It's been about half a month and I haven't been in touch."

"Didn't you say that the queen ruled the palace extremely strictly?"

"Having said that, it's not the first day that Empress Jiang came to power, and she lost contact for no reason. Among them, something must have happened. Either something happened to Empress Jiang, and Yue Mingyun is not good at communicating with the outside world. Or It is Yue Mingyun who has fallen into the hands of Empress Jiang at this moment, and his life or death is uncertain." Wu Yang said in a serious tone.

"Has anyone ever gone to investigate?" Li Shengxi asked again.

"I went to the palace once on the tenth day, and I was almost caught." Wu Yang said, recalling that experience, it was really thrilling, and he almost didn't leave.

"After the spies are captured, they will either be tortured severely, and then searched and arrested. Or they will be killed directly, and the corpses will be displayed. There is no large-scale search and arrest, which means that Mingyun has not revealed anything. She should still be alive." If it falls into her In her hand, before she spits out anything, she will not let people die, "You said you were almost caught, what exactly happened?"

"We buried a few dark chess pieces in the palace. I used one of them to enter the palace. Later, I went to the place Yue Mingyun used to inquire about. As soon as I passed by, I was surrounded by a group of servants. Fortunately, they have no skills. , the subordinate quickly threw him away, and then left the palace." Wu Yang replied.

"Now the person who uses the servant is the queen, which means that the queen did it in private. You can come out smoothly because she didn't mobilize the imperial army to seal the palace gate, so arresting you should be done in private by the queen." Li Sheng took a step forward One step further speculated, "The empress kept her secret. One is that she is not sure about it, and the other is that she is afraid of causing accidents——Wu Yang, the time you entered the palace, you actually harmed her."

"Ah?" Wu Yang was startled, and couldn't help frowning, "This subordinate knows his mistake, so what should we do next?"

"Wait." Li Shengxi uttered a word. Now Wangjing is very chaotic, and she doesn't even understand which force is causing the chaos for the time being. She can't act rashly.

If there is an action now, if it is the other party's trick to lure the enemy, then her 2 people will be finished.We can only wait until tonight is over, and then we will see how to close the city.No matter how chaotic Wangjing is, the city walls are towering, with plenty of food and soldiers.There are 15 scattered troops stationed in the capital, and she only has 2 in her hands, and there is no natural danger.

Wu Yang was silent for a while, and then said: "The subordinates went with the scouts to find out the news."

Li Shengxi nodded and did not stop him.

Wangjing is indeed in chaos.At the beginning of the incident, several clans were persuaded to assassinate King Zhao, but after being reminded by Jiang Muyi, King Zhao was vigilant all night long and never relaxed at all.He was born as a warrior, so it was easy to deal with these clans.

Seeing the incident of the clan's family, the faction that moved the capital simply did not do anything. Although they are not as close to half of the imperial army as King Zhao, they still have a lot of guards in the middle school. Moreover, the Zhou family also controls a guard. .

The palace is also brightly lit all night.

Jiang Muyi did not rest, but sat beside the emperor's bed. She dismissed all the servants around her, and she was in a panic.

Zhou Lingwang sat under the bed, neither of them spoke, waiting for the final success or failure.

It's just that there was no news of success or failure, but the emperor on the side made a movement.

In the past year, Emperor Yuanjia has been a real lingering sickbed. Jiang Muyi will not give him a chance to wake up. Occasionally he wakes up, but he is coaxed to rest by the palace people. After feeding a bowl of medicine, he becomes unconscious again. Awake.

Emperor Yuan Jia was already in a haggard state at this moment, only hanging on his last breath.

Seeing the movement of Emperor Yuan Jia beside her, Jiang Muyi's eyes trembled slightly, she patted Zhou Lingwang lightly, and said in a low voice, "You go out first."

Zhou Lingwang didn't know why, but Jiang Muyi just shook her head. Seeing this, she had no choice but to back out.

The emperor woke up slowly, and Jiang Muyi fed a bowl of medicine, "The Holy Majesty is awake."

"Empress..." Emperor Yuan Jia murmured, and he asked again, "Now, what time is it?"

"The second year of Yuanjia, the first day of December." Jiang Muyi said patiently. For some reason, she should be panicking at the moment. She should have used the old trick to make Emperor Yuanjia pass out, but she didn't do that. .

Moreover, after Emperor Yuan Jia woke up, she didn't seem to care about what happened outside anymore.The awakening of Emperor Yuanjia meant that there was only one of them left alive.

"December..." It was only three or four months when he was in a coma. Now, in a blink of an eye, it was already December. He didn't ask why the queen was here. Maybe he had forgotten that he was forbidden to know the things he once knew. Slowly he asked, "What's going on outside?"

Maybe it was because he was on the verge of death, but now he has a rare clarity. He has been half-lived and half-dead for so long, the outside world should soon be turned upside down.

Meng Songyan is dead, Gu Lingxu is trapped, and it is not known whether he will agree to his request.

It should be difficult for a rebellious person like him to bow his head.How is he now?do you died?I really want to see him bow his head and surrender.

"Gu Lingxu surrendered to the enemy, and after the Southern Jin Dynasty expelled Xirong, they attacked Qi together. Now, the soldiers are about to come to the city. The courtiers plan to move the capital, but King Zhao and I refuse. Now outside, there must be a mutiny." Jiang Muyi said calmly. Said, she seemed to ignore it, and didn't use those titles in front of Emperor Yuan Jia.

Married to him for many years, this is the first time she has been like this.

"That's it..." Emperor Yuan Jia didn't have the anger and surprise that Jiang Muyi imagined, he was just sad, with tears in his eyes.

Jiang Muyi looked down at him, first surprised, then understood and sarcastic.

So, during the time after Menggong's death, did he know what the consequences of his drunkenness and dreams would be?He knew how the edict would affect Northern Qi.

He knew, so he wasn't surprised at the moment.

He knew it, but he still chose to paralyze himself with drunkenness and dreams.He still issued the edict out of a moment of impatience.

"Why did the Holy Majesty do that? Why did you have to do absurd political affairs, and why did you persecute Gu Lingxu?" Jiang Muyi couldn't help but gritted his teeth and asked.

She thought he didn't know, but he didn't care.

"Why?" Emperor Yuan Jia felt a little funny, and even the sadness in his heart faded a little, "I just killed a subject unintentionally, and the whole world thinks that I was wrong, how can I rule the world? Everyone thinks that I If I can't govern the world, everyone thinks I'm incompetent. Faced with Gu Lingxu's provocation, everyone tells me to be patient. I live in patience and doubt all the time.

Empress, do you think I look like an emperor?I am the emperor, how dare they, how dare they treat me like this?An ordinary man can't bear it, let alone me? "

Tears flowed from his eyes, containing infinite grievances.

"This is the emperor! Didn't I tell you before that?" The night before the palace angel came to Liangzhou, she had warned Emperor Yuanjia how difficult it was to be emperor.

"You said it! But who gave me a choice? I am not a material. Since I was born, everyone told me that I am the son of King Liang, and I will inherit the king of Liang in the future. Who told me However, I will become this emperor in the future. Who gave me a chance to choose? The Zhou family, the clan, if they ask me to ascend the throne, I will ascend the throne!" Emperor Yuan Jia felt wronged.

"Under the current situation, who has a choice?" Jiang Muyi's eyes were full of tears, and he was about to fall. "You said you had no choice. On the day you left Liangzhou, didn't you forget to cry because of joy?"

If she hadn't reminded him, he might be charged with disrespect before he ascended the throne.

Emperor Yuan Jia was speechless.

"I have no choice." Tears welled up in her eyes. She was crying to get married and went to Beijing with anxiety.

But once the responsibility is in hand, it doesn't mean that it can be discarded if it is discarded.

She didn't want to marry him, but the marriage was an agreement between the two families in the past. If she didn't marry, the old Concubine Liang would be the first to let her go, and her family would not tolerate her.So she married, but she also acted like his ideal princess.She took care of the back house, mentioned some of his political affairs, and even pretended to admire him, playing tricks with him every occasion.

She doesn't want to be a queen, but she knows very well that the result of the throne is the result of a game between all parties. As a pawn, if she resists, she will only face death.But no matter how unwilling she is, she is also an impeccable queen.

In such a chaotic situation, she didn't want to get involved in power, but if she didn't get involved in power, she would have to watch many undeserving people die, including herself.So she chose to do it.She gambled with her life.

It's a pity that she came one step too late after all, and she could only watch the territory fall.

Because there is no choice to become a victim in the political whirlpool, is it necessary to implicate more innocent people in the game?
Emperor Yuan Jia looked at Jiang Muyi in a daze.

"Xiao Zeqing, to this day, you have brought the blame on yourself, and no one else. I don't understand why you can swing the butcher's knife at others with peace of mind when you encounter pain. It's because you can't take revenge on the strong who inflicted pain on you, and then Take revenge on those innocent, numerous weak people who are at your mercy?" Jiang Muyi scolded angrily.

"You...you...you presumptuous! How...how dare...how dare..." Xiao Zeqing was so angry that she couldn't speak, he just faltered, his face was flushed, and he looked at Jiang Muyi , I can't wait to peel it off and cramp, "Come... come..."

Jiang Muyi's expression was cold, and his tone was cold, "I don't think I owe you anything."

She doesn't regret what she did before, and she doesn't feel indebted for what she has to do.

She did deceive Emperor Yuan Jia's feelings, but originally, Emperor Yuan Jia had no real feelings for her, besides, she planned to deceive him for the rest of his life.

She did ask someone to prescribe medicine to Emperor Yuan Jia, but if she didn't harm him, she would be implicated to death by his perverse actions.

She is not a good person, nor is she a gentleman, but she also thinks that she is much better than him, and because she is not a gentleman, she will not feel that what she did is wrong, and she will not feel so much guilt and debt.

"In this life, you owe me a lot."

It was because of marrying him that she faced so many problems.It is because he acts perversely and only cares about his own enjoyment that he is now in a dilemma, but if he is wiser, he will not be in this situation.

As long as he didn't eat Yuhua Pill, and didn't get fooled by the eunuch family, things wouldn't be so out of control today.

Jiang Muyi looked at Emperor Yuan Jia who was dying, and she was not happy. Things like beating a dog in the water did not inspire her to achieve any achievements at all.As she said, there is nothing to be proud of in bullying the weak, the only thing to be proud of is weakening the strong who oppressed her.

"How about this, let's see if you can use your life to exchange my life? If so, it can be regarded as not owed to each other." Jiang Muyi said softly.

Although Emperor Yuanjia was a dying person, he had no accomplishments in his life and many ruins in his death, but he was an emperor, and emperors were often a bargaining chip.

To be honest, she is not a loyal minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty, otherwise she would not be able to do such a rebellious thing.She was willing to gamble her life for the people, but she was unwilling to gamble her own life for the Northern Qi clan regime.

She could die in the hands of the rebels, but she was unwilling to die in the calculations of the regime struggle.

Once the outside mutiny started, it would be almost impossible for her to plan a whole-hearted defense battle.

She said this only to anger Emperor Yuan Jia, his current body is like the wind and the wind tore the catkins, so it is not surprising that he died after being so agitated.

At that time, even if the imperial physician was invited to check, Emperor Yuan Jia would be furious.

He was pissed to death by the rebels who joined forces outside.

Jiang Muyi is not an absolutely good person, but her moral bottom line is still very high.And she is very responsible.

Emperor Yuanjia had no way, everyone got it and punished him.

So we are glad that Xiaojiang has escaped from the quagmire and is about to get promoted and make a fortune! O(≧≦)O
