After rebirth, White Lotus forced her husband to be a good man

That night, a strange movement broke out in the Huaichu area in the south of the Yangtze River. Thousands of secret guards raided the six major treasuries at night, igniting raging fires and killing hundreds of soldiers, resulting in heavy losses.

A black horse covered in blood entered Beijing overnight with an urgent secret message of [-] miles.

Go to court, Qingluan Hall.A bloody memorial was spread out on the table. The writing on it was sparse, with just a few strokes, but the content was shocking.

The Emperor of the Night was sitting on the dragon chair, his temples stained with frost, his eyes dark and stern. He stared at the memorial with his stern eyes. He raised his hand to brush and pushed down the dragon table. He slapped the table and shouted angrily, "Jiangnan." Where is Liu Shuang, the imperial government official? Get out of here!"

The hundreds of officials who came up had their heads lowered, and the civil servants were trembling even more, holding remonstrance orders in their hands and not daring to raise their bodies.There was silence among the crowd. After a long silence, He Chang stepped out from one side, held an admonishment in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Xianzhi accidentally caught wind and cold about ten years ago, causing a stroke. Jiangnan Imperial Secretary The matter has been temporarily handed over to Deputy Envoy Song De for supervision."

A suspicion flashed across Ye Huang's eyes. Song De, the deputy envoy of the Royal Political Department, was previously recommended by Jiang Fan of the Ministry of War. At that time, he was highly regarded because he had experience in the military and could be helpful to the mediocre Liu Shuang. Why was he so important to him? Will something happen under his guard?
He glanced at everyone sternly and asked impatiently, "Where is Song De now?"

He Chang lowered his eyes and stepped aside. Not far behind him, Jiang Fan took a step forward, clasped his fists and lowered his head slightly, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, Mr. Song... died in the line of duty last night. While chasing those thieves, he was stabbed randomly. He was beheaded under the horse and his body is on its way back to Beijing."

As soon as these words came out, everyone sighed, and the Night Emperor was so angry that he almost shouted, "The traitor is rampant, assassinating the imperial officials, looting the treasury, and openly defying the emperor's authority. Can you find out who is responsible?"

Xiao Zhen, the head of the civil service, squinted his eyes slightly at this moment and glanced at Tan Yu calmly.Tan Yu stood at the head of the military attache with his hands down, looking straight ahead with cold eyes, with no intention of starting.

A trace of provocation flashed in Xiao Zhen's eyes. He lowered his eyes slightly, walked a few steps to the right, lowered his waist slightly, and said unhurriedly, "Your Majesty, Mr. Song De used to be a talented person under the command of Marquis Qin Wu. After Liu Shuang became ill, , Marquis Qin Wu is very concerned about the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, especially the account books of the six major treasuries, but the only civil and military officer in the Manchu Dynasty who can tell a lot about this matter is probably Marquis Wu."

The emperor's eyebrows tightened, he looked sideways at Tan Yu, and asked sternly, "Tin Yu, is what Xiao Zhen said true?"

Tan Yu didn't want to get involved in this matter, but now the situation was quite delicate. He took a few steps, clasped his fists and bowed his head, saying, "Your Majesty, this is not true."

He stood up, glanced at Xiao Zhen with his turbid eyes, and said slowly, "The three things the Sixth Prince said are not true. First, Song De is not directly under my command. Jinghe has been married to Prince Xiao for seven years. Bing, Jinghe was promoted to the Ministry of War in the 12th year, and was promoted to seven levels in the next two years, and was directly appointed as the deputy envoy of the Jiangnan Imperial Affairs Department. The people under the veteran ministers were only generals who knew how to use weapons to defend their homes and country and support the emperor, and had no official status. The ability to be clever.”

He paused and then said, "Secondly, not only the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the situation in Beiguan, Nanguan, Chudi, Huaihe River, and all border areas, the civil and military officials in the court should uphold the high status of being in the temple and worry about the distance of the rivers and lakes. Virtue, I have been receiving salary from the imperial court for 38 years. If I can't do this, then there is no need for the Sixth Prince to intervene with me. I would have no shame standing here."

"Thirdly, the account books of the six major treasuries in Jiangnan belong directly to the imperial court. No one can change them unless there is clear evidence to prove the difference. The Mansion of Marquis Qin Wu and the Mansion of the Sixth Prince did have amnesty orders for investigation, but what was investigated and why Investigations are carried out from time to time, and strict confidentiality is enforced, and no one is allowed to reveal even a single detail.”

He looked at Xiao Zhen with cold eyes and said word by word, "Not to mention that the old minister did not do this, but it can be seen that the Sixth Prince is well-informed. Who checked and which treasury was checked. The prince has a clear mind."

Xiao Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were fierce and determined. He was silent for a while, and a hint of provocation flashed at the corner of his lips, "Master Marquis, I am just talking nonsense, look at how serious you are. You might as well say it directly, you don't know Who is the rioter this time?" He looked at the emperor slowly, "Your Majesty, I know who it is."

A hint of something bad suddenly arose in Tan Yu's heart.

The Night Emperor's eyes were fierce, "Speak quickly."

Xiao Zhen said, "My brother sent people to Liuku for support yesterday. According to the local people, those who attacked did not distinguish between officials and civilians. They burned, killed and looted. They flew military flags with ants printed on them and used very weird martial arts and With this fighting method, we broke through the defense forces in a very short time. Fortunately, the support was timely and the financial losses were not much. However, most of the buildings were burned down and it will take time to rebuild."

The ant army flag and the weird fighting style seemed familiar to Ye Huang, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before.His expression turned cold and he was thinking deeply.

All civil and military officials in the court also started discussing it. At this moment, before Xiao Zhen finished speaking, only Qin Yu knew the origin of the military flag.Tan Xiaoxian once told him that when he was at Nanguan, there was a mysterious force behind him. When the food and grass were not delivered in time, those people who supported him would fly the military flag of the ant beast, and everyone had a There are traces of Lan's family.

Xiao Zhenjian aroused everyone's curiosity. He knew in his heart that the opportunity had come. He raised his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, this ant army flag is not unfamiliar to us. If I mention another characteristic, Your Majesty will definitely be able to recall it." ," He paused, looked at Tan Yu provocatively, and moved his lips slightly, "Those people all have Lan Jiajun waistbands hanging on their waists."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court, and everyone was shocked. The old civil servants took the lead and knelt down one by one, complaining, "Your Majesty, the old Lan clan has come back, and the sycophants can't stay in the future. Stay!"

The Night Emperor quietly squeezed his kneecap with his big palm, and there was a hint of complexity in his long eyes.Yes, he remembered that when Lan Xian used to protect him on his autumn hunt, he had said that the Lan family was related to the witch doctor clan, and several of them had inherited the mascot from that evil clan, which they called the "Fate Beast".

The fate beast is an extremely sacred belief in the culture of the witch doctor tribe. Just like Lanji’s fate beast is a magpie, and Ye Niansi’s fate beast is an ant. The magpie brought good weather and peace to the country, and as for the ants, What it can bring, Ye Huang has never understood.

Now it seems that a thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest. The ants in the gutter are actually trying to make the nest of Yu that he has worked so hard to maintain collapse.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he didn't pay attention to the thousands of people, the Lan family should have been wiped out long ago. The fire of karma will not be exhausted, and the wind of stupidity will arise again.

He raised his broad sleeves, with a stern look in his eyes, and shouted majestically, "Tin Yu listens to the order and orders you to lead the Xiaoqi battalion south immediately. In one month, we will eradicate the treasonous traitor. The head of the Tilan clan will come to see you!" "

Tan Yu frowned and slowly lowered his body, "Old minister, take the order."

The emperor glanced at him and said with a cold look in his eyes, "In addition, the fourteenth son of Gu Feng, Ye Niansi, temporarily acts as the commander of the Xiaoqi camp. He will go out with you and destroy the Lan thief. I have another reward. I will announce it to the world immediately!"

The eyes on the side were rolling rapidly, and after responding, he knelt down next to the emperor's dragon boots.

When Qin Yu returned to the house, Qin Yun and Qin Xiaoxian were already waiting at the door of the house. They received a briefing from Siguan. The generals of the Qin family came out in force and headed south in one fell swoop. Both Qin Yun and Qin Xiaoxian were promoted to two levels in a row. Ye Niansi temporarily became their immediate superior, with absolute command authority, but all decisions were ultimately made by Qin Yu.

At this time, the father and son were standing in the courtyard. Although they were close to each other, they had different thoughts.If Qin Yu wants to support Ye Niansi, he must preserve his power. Regardless of whether what Xiao Zhen said is true or false, he will not know the specific situation until he reaches the Sixth Department of Jiangnan.But the emperor ordered Ye Niansi to be the commander-in-chief. How could the Qin family army obey his orders?This is to make him bear the infamy of betraying the clan and completely destroy him.

Qin Yun was particularly happy because of this promotion. He believed that it was just the emperor's respect for him, so he was ready to kill everyone and regain his glory this time.

Tan Xiaoxian, on the other hand, completely lost the opportunity to follow the ledger and make great achievements. At this time, he felt a little depressed, but because he was about to fight, he still managed to show no anger on his face.Qin Yuwang stood in the room, with an open bundle on the table. She held Ye Niansi's washed clothes in her hand, her complexion pale.It had only been two days since Jiang Xinlan came to see her, and what she said had really happened. The emperor wanted Ye Niansi to kill his own people with his own hands...

If it hadn't been for the imperial edict that no female family members were allowed to follow, she would definitely not have let him go alone.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Ye Niansi pushed the door open and came in. With his dark eyes, he saw Qin Yuwang standing in his room. He walked in, took the bundle from her hand, tied it hastily, and was ready to set off.

While he was turning around, Qin Yuwang stepped forward and held his arm, a trace of unbearableness flashed in his almond eyes, "Your Highness, if you don't want to go, we will think of other ways."

Ye Niansi paused with dark eyes, looked at her coldly, and asked expressionlessly, "Second Miss, do you have any good ideas?"

Qin Yuwang recalled, she frowned and said, "In the past, Prince Xiao didn't want to go to the imperial mausoleum to stay up late, so he could refuse because he was ill. If he didn't want to go to Beiguan for inspection, he could also refuse to go to Langya Mountain to study as a master. As for what he wants to do for His Highness, What's the reason? I haven't thought about it yet... Just say that I'm pregnant? Or maybe His Highness's injuries haven't healed yet and he can't withstand the bumps? "

When Tan Yuwang said these words, he knew that many of the reasons she gave were impossible.The emperor didn't even care about Ye Niansi's life, so how could he warm him up?

Ye Niansi looked at her with dark eyes, a clear look in his eyes, and he said lightly, "Second Miss, you really look up to me. How can a useless son from the cold palace be compared with the prince who was so favored for a while."

His black eyes slid slightly to one side, with a trace of provocation flashing in his eyes, "Besides, I have no intention of evading it, Miss Second, those people are going to die anyway. Since they are old members of the Lan family, who will die?" Isn't it worth it to die in my hands? If you die in my hands, you can still save this life for me. Isn't it worth it?" The corner of his lips curled up slightly, with a hint of evil oozing out.

Qin Yu was stunned for a moment. Her almond-shaped eyes widened and she looked at Ye Niansi in disbelief. She frowned and hesitated, "But Your Highness, that is... your only relative..."

Ye Niansi looked at her quietly, his eyes filled with ice. His cold and black eyes had never been as cold as they were now. He tilted his head slightly, staring straight at her with his black eyes. His voice was cold, "Second Miss, even if you die, I won't shed tears, let alone a group of people I have never met. I don't even care about my own life. Do you think I should pity the world?"

After saying that, in the eyes of Tan Yuwang who were gradually losing sight, Ye Niansi turned around and walked out without looking back. When he went out, he glanced at a figure beside the door. The footsteps dodged extremely quickly, and he did not catch any trace.

His dark eyes deepened. When he was discharged from the hospital, he was wearing armor. Gang Qianzhi, who had been waiting at the entrance of the hospital for a long time, followed up. When he walked to the cobblestone path in the garden, Ye Niansi took a detour to a remote pavilion. , when turning around, he quickly looked around, his black eyes fixed on the confused Gang Qiangzhi, "You don't have to follow me this time, stay at home and protect Qin Yuwang."

Gang Qiangzhi frowned slightly, not thinking too much about it, "Your Highness, the second young lady must be safe at home. On the contrary, this is your first time on the battlefield, and the second young lady has asked her subordinates to protect you every step of the way."

Ye Niansi took a breath and calmed down a little. A stream of cold air ran down his tall nose. He looked at Gang Qiangzhi coldly, with a stern look in his eyes, "No need to say more, just follow your orders."

Gang Qiangzhi looked at Ye Niansi doubtfully, and answered with clasped fists.He felt that Ye Niansi's thoughts were much deeper than Qin Yuwang's. He couldn't understand what he was thinking at all, but what he asked to do should not be wrong. After all, he was the person that the second lady wanted to protect.

On the third day of April, the Qin family army left Beijing in a mighty manner. The [-]-strong cavalry battalion had been divided into three groups, and the cavalry was used to clear the way for thousands of miles.Ye Niansi rode Lan Yin at the front of the team, with Tan Yun and Tan Xiaoxian on his left and right. Tan Yu was in front of the three of them. The children of the Tan family were all wearing armor, and the agate red armor was as red as blood in the sun.

Ye Niansi looked sideways at the increasingly distant capital city. The tall buildings gradually shrank until they disappeared from sight. When he came back to his senses, he saw Tan Yun and Tan Xiaoxian marching with their troops first, while his own horse and Tan Yu was slowed down.

Qin Yu looked at him with turbid eyes and lowered his voice, "What do you think, Your Highness, of this southern expedition?"

Ye Niansi said coldly, "The Marquis has gone through thousands of battles and achieved great success. He was awarded the title of Marquis of Wu. How can we, the ants, get involved in hearing about this war?"

Qin Yu sighed, "If those people are really the old members of the Lan family, what are your highness's plans? This Xiaoqi battalion is all composed of the Qin family's army. The [-] Lan family soldiers and horses that were merged in that year are not part of this operation. This time Once they are surrounded in a battle, they will probably have no chance of escaping."

A trace of evil flashed across Ye Niansi's lips, and his eyes were filled with disdain, "I have always heard that Lord Marquis is iron-blooded and loyal. How can he face the rebels, but now he is indecisive. If there is a person carrying the Lan clan's military flag, burning, killing and looting, then kill him No pardon."

Qin Yu paused and glanced at Ye Niansi. He was confused, but he remained silent and still had no words.

Let's talk about the house. After the men of the Qin family sent out troops, the courtyard became deserted for no reason.Jiang Xinlan was strolling on the street with her maid. When she passed by Piaohong Building, she ordered the maid to buy some things for women, and then stood there for a while.

Chunxiang saw her at the door, and hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to bump into her accidentally. The basket in Jiang Xinlan's hand clattered down, and she said with displeasure in her eyes, "You little sister-in-law, you don't walk carelessly!"

Chunxiang apologized again and again, then turned around and hurried back to Piaohong Building. Qiuxiang saw Jiang Xinlan leaving on the second floor. There was the sound of footsteps behind her. Chunxiang came upstairs quickly and put a paper dumpling on the table. , "Miss Qiu, Xin'er is here."

Qiuxiang lowered her eyes and twisted the ball of paper with her thin fingers. There were only two lines of words. She frowned and waved her hand. Chunxiang immediately put paper and pen. She wrote two lines of words with a flick of her thin wrist and put the ball of paper. Passed it to Chunxiang, "Within one stick of incense, send it to Master Yuan Qi."

The Imperial Hospital was very busy at that time. Yuan Zhan was approving the purchase order for medicinal materials. He barely had time to spare when a young medical officer with nimble steps outside brought a cup of medicine to him. "Master Yuan, we were just outside the door. Someone said he was from your hometown and wanted to give you some red date cake. Seeing that he had been here many times, he brought it to you directly."

Yuan Zhan paused for a moment, raised his hand and ordered him out. He followed closely, bolted the door, returned to the table, held the medicine cup in both hands, opened it and saw that there was indeed a red date cake. He stretched out a finger and poked it. He went in and dug out a ball of paper. He opened it hurriedly, glanced up and down with sly eyes, quickly swallowed the note, and then sent a secret letter to Lin Shu, the Sixth Prince's Mansion, along with the medicine.

At that time, in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Lin Shu had the letter hidden in his sleeve. He knelt down on the kang and rubbed Xiao Zhen's legs. Xiao Zhen was lying on the long couch with his eyes closed, enjoying himself.

Lin Shu lowered his eyes and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, a message came from the palace. Ye Niansi has already received the commander's seal and led the troops south. The emperor has just given an oral message and decided to hold the ceremony tomorrow. The sooner the better. .”

Xiao Zhen smiled with satisfaction and said, "Well done. If everything goes well this time, Ye Niansi and Qin Yu will no longer be a threat to my son in the future. Go dig out the ashes of Lanji and send them to tomorrow Palace," there was a hint of evil in his eyes, "I want to see if my mother's clan has been crushed to ashes, and he holds military power, can he still fight back?"

Xiao Zhen came up with the idea of ​​letting Ye Niansi lead troops on an expedition.In the past month, the emperor had repeatedly dreamed of Lan Ji's death, and he was filled with anger and incomprehensible anger. He had originally planned to hold a grand memorial ceremony in early April to raise his ashes and completely extinguish his soul, but this was interrupted by the riot carefully arranged by Xiao Zhen. opportunity.

The fourth day of April is the death date set by Xiao Zhen for Ye Niansi and the Ye family who has plundered the Xiao family for 300 years. Starting from this curse, he will make the Ye Emperor completely lose everything, make him suspicious of loyal ministers, and use traitors. He will be infamous throughout the ages, and his son Xiao Yan will become the wise king who saves this people and will be remembered forever.
