Song Yi

Chapter 680
The sound of the emperor's arrival was also high and low, thick and thin, and it came from far and near.

Gu Xiaotian said: "Yunfan, my suggestion is not to let Madam come forward, so as not to cause complications, what do you think?"

When Du Wenhao walked to the door, he saw a few lanterns not far away that flickered on and off in the darkness, like will-o'-the-wisps.

"Why is he here?" Du Wenhao said in a deep voice.

Seeing Du Wenhao glanced at himself and his father, Gu Yifei thought he was suspicious, so he quickly explained: "There are reliable people around me, and there should be no one to tip the news."

Gao Tao said: "Then why did Wen Hao come, and he also came?"

Gu Xiaotian said: "I don't have time to explain to you now, it's better to ask Madam to avoid it first."

Gao Taotao got up and was about to leave when Du Wenhao said, "No need!"

Gu Xiaotian said: "My nephew, why is this?"

Du Wenhao smiled and said: "I think since the emperor is visiting at this time, it's useless to avoid it, it's better to let him see it, it's okay."

After Gu Xiaotian listened, without further words, a group of people knelt at the door and waited for the driver.Of course, except for Du Wenhao and Gao Taotao who were still standing there.

"Hahahaha, I just heard from Eunuch Liu that today is Miss Yan Zi's birthday, so I came here to ask for a cup of birthday wine." Emperor Xuanren walked into the room, looked at Gu Xiaotian and Gu Yifei, raised his hand, Going straight to Du Wenhao, he said with a smile, "Oh? So the Duke is here too?"

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "I am Zi'er's doctor, does the emperor feel strange here?"

Emperor Xuan Ren said to Gu Xiaotian and Gu Yifei who had already got up behind him: "Why are you entertaining the Duke in such a small corner room? It's really disrespectful."

Gu Yifei bowed his hands and said: "Just us, Zi'er has not recovered and can't sit for a long time, so I chose such a place. If I know that the emperor is coming, my minister...how about we change places?"

Emperor Xuanren smiled and walked to Gu Xiaotian's seat and sat down. Everyone sat back to their seats one by one this time, and Gu Xiaotian sat across from Du Wenhao in an empty seat.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Emperor Xuanren sat next to Du Wenhao with a 50-[-]-year-old woman. Although she was already middle-aged, she was well-maintained, and she could still see her beautiful face when she was young.

Emperor Xuanren said: "Why, it seems that some of you don't welcome me here?"

Gu Xiaotian smiled quickly, and said: "How could it be? It's too late for me to be happy. Someone is here, why don't you hurry up and bring the emperor's pair of bowls and chopsticks, and a pot of the emperor's favorite Shaoxing Huadiao."

Emperor Xuan Ren said: "I know that the cooks in your house are very good at cooking, but forget about the wine. I don't know why recently, as long as I drink wine, I feel pain like a needle in the lower left abdomen, so let's forget about it."

Gu Xiaotian asked nervously: "Has the emperor consulted the imperial physician?"

Emperor Xuan Ren said with a smile: "Those idiots are not half as good as the Duke's medical skills. It's better not to show them."

Gu Yifei smiled, and said: "Since the emperor said so, and the Duke is here, why not let the Duke show it?"

Emperor Xuan Ren waved his hand and said: "No hurry, no hurry, there is plenty of time, now the front line is in a hurry, let's talk about it after this time has passed." After speaking, he glanced at Gao Taotao, and saw that she was not afraid of him, and even a little arrogant Looking at her face, she asked, "Gu Aiqing, this is...?"

Gu Xiaotian took a look at Du Wenhao, and Du Wenhao said: "I thought the emperor knew the background of me, the Duke of the Song Dynasty, clearly. You really don't know if you ask me that, or test me. Woolen cloth?"

Emperor Xuan Ren laughed loudly and said: "So, this is the guest brought by the Duke?"

Du Wenhao also laughed: "If your majesty really doesn't know, then it's okay for me to introduce you. This lady's surname is Gao Taotao. I wonder if your majesty has heard of it?"

Emperor Xuanren was taken aback for a moment, then stood up abruptly from the chair, his expression suddenly became serious, pointed at Gao Taotao, looked at Du Wenhao, and said a little excitedly: "Could it be that this is Da Song's..."

Du Wenhao nodded slightly, and glanced at Gao Taotao, only to see Gao Taotao smiled tenderly at Du Wenhao, and did not look directly at Emperor Xuan Ren, as if this person was transparent.

After a while, Emperor Xuanren sat down again, as if deliberately restraining his emotions, and said in a deep voice: "Master Guo, is there any progress in your dealing with Dajin?"

Du Wenhao saw that Emperor Xuan Ren's face was gloomy, and he didn't look at himself, but stared at the dishes in front of him. He put his hands on the table and spread them flat, seemingly relaxed, but actually he looked sinister.

Du Wenhao said: "Did the emperor come to drink in the ancient mansion, or did he come here after hearing the news and want to urge me?"

Gu Xiaotian saw the corners of Emperor Xuanren's mouth trembling a few times, then he smiled and said: "What the Duke said is, well, well, today I will make an exception, bring me a pot of flower carvings, after drinking, let the Duke Lord, show me what kind of disease this is."

The atmosphere seemed a bit awkward, Emperor Xuan Ren kept suppressing his unhappiness, Du Wenhao looked indifferent, but Gu Xiaotian was a little absent-minded, there were five people in total, and all five of them seemed to be preoccupied, and after a while the dishes were served on the table without moving What, the wine has run out.

Emperor Xuan Ren hiccupped, looked a little drunk, and stuttered a little, it seemed that he couldn't handle alcohol on weekdays, and today he was in a bad mood and drank a little more quickly, it was even easier to get drunk.

"I... I admire the Duke of the country very much. If the Duke of the country... the country does not dislike it, he will be in Dali in the future and will continue to be the prince of our Da... Dali country by my side. , to enjoy the splendor and wealth." Emperor Xuanren was about to drink as he spoke.

Gu Xiaotian said: "Your Majesty, you can't drink anymore, you should go back to the palace earlier."

Emperor Xuanren hummed at Gu Xiaotian honestly, and said: "You old fellow, you just drank two pots of Huadiao in your family, why... oh, it's too bad, it hurts... it hurts! "Speaking, Emperor Xuanren fell from the chair, and Eunuch Liu rushed in and followed Gu Yifei to help Emperor Xuanren onto the chair.

Emperor Xuan Ren's face was pale, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans fell from his forehead one by one, and his hands were tightly covering his stomach, looking very painful.

Eunuch Liu went to Du Wenhao reluctantly, and begged: "Grandpa Guo, please show our emperor, every time it hurts like this, it really hurts."

After Du Wenhao walked up to Emperor Xuanren and sat down to give him his pulse, he lowered his face and frowned, and said: "It's not easy, this disease has probably been lurking in the emperor's body for many years. I don’t have the kind of extravagance like now, and secondly, I don’t have to work all day, my body is not as good as before, and this disease will naturally surface.”

Although Eunuch Liu was displeased with Du Wenhao's words of "excessive licentiousness", seeing that the emperor himself didn't say anything, how could he dare to talk too much as a slave, so he said: "Then, what kind of miraculous elixir does your lord have?"

Du Wenhao said: "It's not impossible, it just needs three to five years of recuperation."

Emperor Xuanren endured the pain, got up and said: "I'd better go back to the palace to rest, you guys continue to drink, I won't sit down."

Eunuch Liu hurriedly ordered the palace servants to come in and help Emperor Xuan Ren. When he reached the door, Emperor Xuan Ren turned his head and said to Du Wenhao: "Master Guo said that the three-year and five-year nursing care is because he is worried that I will go against my word and tear down the bridge when I cross the river?"

Du Wenhao smiled and said, "I'm not worried, what is there to worry about?"

Emperor Xuanren couldn't see any deeper meaning behind the smile on Du Wenhao's face, this was another burst of heart-pounding pain, so Emperor Xuanren had no choice but to go out.

Gu Xiaotian and Gu Yifei sent the emperor back, seeing Du Wenhao and Gao Taotao eating and talking and laughing, they stepped forward and said, "My nephew, why didn't you give the emperor a good painkiller on the spot?"

Du Wenhao took a look at Gu Xiaotian, took a sip of wine happily, and said, "Where is there any reason to return the antidote to someone who has been poisoned?"

Gu Xiaotian and Gu Yifei both gave an ah when they heard it, and Gu Yifei went to the door to look around, quickly closed the door, walked to Du Wenhao, sat down and said in a low voice: "Yunfan, what do you mean? "

Du Wenhao put down the wine glass in his hand, dipped some wine into the glass with his chopsticks, and wrote two words on the table. Gu Yifei took a closer look, his face changed, and he saw it read: Rebellion!
Gu Yifei quickly erased the words, and said in a trembling tone: "The things we asked you to think about in the secret room before, you... so you have this intention?"

Hearing what his son said, Gu Xiaotian had already guessed Du Wenhao's intention without looking at the words written on the table, stood up and said, "In that case, Yunfan, let's go, let's go to a place where we can talk .” So the four of them got up and returned to the secret room, and the conversation lasted until dawn.

Three days later, Mingqian turned back, and it seemed that everything went well. Mingqian had already handed things over to Shi Shi and Murong Yulan safely. In order to test Mingqian's sincerity, Du Wenhao deliberately asked him to go to Xiushan County to give to Queen Xiang. They loosened a letter, the content of which was in the Song Dynasty, Lin Jieyu taught Du Wenhao as a word game, so Du Wenhao thought, if you can't trust it tomorrow, it's just a letter. Ordinary family letter, but if Mingqian is trustworthy and Lin Jieyu understands the meaning, she can ask Yu Ge'er to go to Xiaojiazhuang to find Fu Gedong and others according to Du Wenhao's intention, and then follow Du Wenhao's instructions. They used their method to contact Li Pu and the others, and everyone gathered their troops, and they could act only after Shitou and Murong Yulan made any movement.

In order to avoid making Emperor Xuanren suspicious, Du Wenhao and the father and son of the Gu family have never met since Yan Zi's birthday, and Gao Taotao has been shutting himself out since Yan Zi's birthday, which created a false impression for the emperor. That is, that day in the Gu family was really a gathering among friends. Even if Gao Taotao was the empress dowager, it was just a passing cloud. A woman, and an old woman at that, how could she cause any trouble? Po, as everyone knows, Gao Taotao did not come alone this time. After she found Du Wenhao alone, within ten days, there were nearly a thousand more people in the inns, teahouses and restaurants in Dali City for no reason. Moreover, these are only a small part, less than ten kilometers outside Dali City, the troops of the brigade are scattered, waiting for Gao Taotao to send a signal to attack the city at any time.

While Du Wenhao was waiting for Shitou and Murong Yulan's news, suddenly Eunuch Liu came. This time it was not Emperor Xuanren, but a beauty. Du Wenhao thought, this beauty is none other than the legendary Emperor Xuanren His favorite concubine, Concubine Mu.

As usual, Du Wenhao wasn't required to accompany her, but Du Wenhao had a mind, he didn't know the reason for this woman at this time, after thinking about it, he didn't let Wang Runxue come forward, but let Ke Yao and Lin Qingdai accompany her until after dinner, That Concubine Mu finally revealed her intentions.

"Above? Like Ke Yao? Want to take her into the palace for a few days? What does Concubine Mu mean?" Du Wenhao felt that something was wrong after Ruoyun came to the study to tell him about it.

Gao Tao who was at the side said, "Wen Hao, don't worry, Ruoyun, did Concubine Mu Gui say, when will Ke Yao be brought closer to the palace?"

Ruoyun said: "It is said that we will go in together tonight."

Gao Taotao thought for a while, and said: "Okay, the master knows, you go back and tell Ke Yao, just tell the master what the master said, it will not be too late tomorrow morning, and God can't be without mother at night."

After hearing this, Ruoyun withdrew.

Gao Taotao sneered and said: "Hmph, no matter which country you are in, no harem is the same. I know what Concubine Mu Gui wants to do."

Du Wenhao said: "I also know, fortunately, Xue'er or Qin'er were not allowed to go there. I'm not worried about Ke Yao, but what should I do if it's a gift from God?"

Gao Tao said: "Emperor Xuan Ren just wanted to find a hostage to put in the palace, so that Wen Hao, you dare not act rashly. As long as we don't let Tianci follow in, the problem will not be a big problem, and we can also plan."

After hearing Gao Taotao's words, Du Wenhao also felt that this idea was good. After a while, he saw Ke Yao hurried over.

Everyone closed the door, and Ke Yao came out of the room when they saw that the room stayed there for a long time.

"Wen Hao, don't worry."

Du Wenhao sent Ke Yao to the gate of the courtyard, and said in a low voice, "It's no worse than being naughty at home or outside. Now that you and I, Qingdai sister, are not by your side, you must be more careful."

Ke Yao nodded and said, "Don't worry, I've listened to what you and Mrs. Gao said, and I understand the stakes, so I won't do anything reckless."

Du Wenhao said: "If there is any change in the situation, don't ask anyone to bring me a letter, absolutely, absolutely!"

Ke Yao agreed to come down, took two steps, turned around, and blinked, tears streaming down his face.

Du Wenhao thought that Ke Yao was afraid, so he said: "I really don't want to go, I'll go and tell the emperor, in fact, it's not necessary to go."

Ke Yao shook his head, and said, "It's not that, it's because I'm worried about Godsend, he's still so young, I'm not by his side, what if he wants me when he wakes up in the morning?"

"Don't worry, don't you still have mine?"

Ke Yao turned his head and saw Pang Yuqin and Wang Runxue walking over, he couldn't help rushing forward with a sore heart, threw himself into the arms of the two ladies and became sad.

Pang Yuqin comforted softly: "Don't worry, I'll take Tianci into my yard tonight and live with Tianqi. The two brothers have a companion."

Wang Runxue said: "This time I really don't know what Concubine Mu Gui is up to, but if you don't go now, I'm afraid you will offend her, so..."

It was only then that Ke Yao remembered that apart from himself and Murong Yulan, no one in the family really knew what Du Wenhao wanted to do, what he was doing, and what he was planning to do, so he suddenly woke up, put away his sadness, smiled, and turned his head After taking a look at Du Wenhao, he only thanked Pang Yuqin and Wang Runxue, and walked towards the front yard after saluting.

Du Wenhao sighed softly, seeing that Pang Yuqin and Wang Runxue had tears in their eyes, he comforted him, "Don't worry, you won't be so worried soon."

Wang Runxue stepped forward and looked at Du Wenhao, and saw that although he had a smile on his face, there was a little bit of worry and melancholy in his eyes. Although he didn't know what Du Wenhao was doing as the emperor, Shitou and Murong Yulan were suddenly absent recently. At home, Shi Shi only told the second lady that outsiders should not see it. Wang Runxue was very anxious, but Du Wenhao didn't say a word. How could a wife dare to ask, so she was secretly anxious.

"Sir, you still need to rest well, you have lost a lot of weight recently." Wang Runxue said.

Du Wenhao said: "I have something to tell you and the four of them. You ask them to come to the South Garden at three o'clock in the evening. Don't bring the maids with you, and don't tell the maids around you. Just come here alone."

Wang Runxue nodded and said yes. Seeing Du Wenhao turn and leave, she and Pang Yuqin also walked away.

Three days later, Mingqian came back from Xiushan County and brought back a reply letter from Lin Jieyu. Du Wenhao saw it and recognized it was Lin Jieyu's notes. Dong got in touch, because the imperial court was busy with Daikin's affairs a few days ago, so there was no time for the White Clothes Society. Naturally, Fu Gedong and the others could take the opportunity to contact the rudder masters of each sub-rudder, and their church members were in succession after receiving the notice. , rushed to the capital from various places in Dali.

Ming Qian said: "Master, what are we going to do now?"

In Du Wenhao's room, Ming Qian stood in front of Du Wenhao's desk and asked Du Wenhao for instructions.

Du Wenhao shook his head and said, "Now we don't have to do anything, we just have to wait!"

Ming Qian saw that he was an impatient person. Hearing what Du Wenhao said, he said: "The general has been away for almost half a month, and there is no news at all. I am really anxious. Wait! I don't know how long I will wait."

Du Wenhao smiled and said, "Of course we can't wait for the news. Some news needs us to tell others."

Ming Qian was puzzled and said, "How to tell? Who to tell?"

Du Wenhao beckoned, walked to Du Wenhao's side, Du Wenhao whispered in his ear, couldn't help showing joy, nodded repeatedly, only said yes, yes, and so on, and then prepared to go out.

Du Wenhao called Ming Qian to stop, and said, "Did you see Ming Sen this time?"

Ming Qian came back again and said in a low voice: "I saw you, I just really want to come back and have a good fight with us."

Du Wenhao looked at Ming Qian, and said meaningfully: "A big fight? Are you not afraid that the people of the country will call your Imperial Guards traitors?"

Ming Qian smiled and said: "One is that Mingsen and I are not from Dali Kingdom, and the other is that we are abandoning the dark and turning to the bright, not to mention that the general is my savior who has saved my life three times, let alone the young one. Even if you take the little one's life at any time, it's nothing to say."

Du Wenhao said: "Forget it, you can go, this time you don't have to go by yourself, just follow orders."

Ming Qian said: "Master, when can you hear the movement?"

Du Wenhao smiled and said: "What a quick-tempered person, but this matter spread to their Dajin barracks tonight, and before dawn, their army's morale was already in chaos."

Ming Qian heard Fen Ran, and said: "Then we don't have to wait for the generals, let's send troops first, right? Don't you have General Xue's military talisman in your hand?"

Du Wenhao said seriously: "What if those thousands of troops only recognize people but not this soldier talisman? Now is not the time to send troops."

Ming Qian thought about it too, pondered for a moment and said: "That General Xue is not a person who is greedy for life and fears death, but he is a righteous person, why don't you go..."

Du Wenhao shook his head and said, "No, absolutely don't go."

Ming Qian was puzzled, and said: "Why is this? I usually have some friendship with that General Xue, how about..."

Du Wenhao said: "Don't be in a hurry, let me tell you first."

Mingqian had no choice but to listen carefully.

Du Wenhao said: "If you were to be the emperor, who would you hand over the military power to?"

Ming Qian said: "I have never thought about being an emperor, but we want you to be our emperor."

Du Wenhao signaled Mingqian to speak softly, "I just let you think about it."

Mingqian thought for a while, and said: "If the young one really becomes the emperor, then he must hand over the military power to General Shi."

Du Wenhao asked, "Why?"

Mingqian didn't even think about it, and said: "The little one is naturally going to give this most important right to the one I believe in the most... Oh, I understand what you mean, it's because you are thoughtful, okay, then we must If we can't dispatch troops, wouldn't the soldier talisman be useless in our hands?"

Du Wenhao thought to himself, it might not be useless, if it is really useless, I was still holding this thing and doing something on my body, but I didn't say anything, just smiled and said nothing more.

That night, Du Wenhao received a letter from the White Clothes Club, saying that they had all arrived outside the capital. Think about it, if the news got out, then the emperor would probably do something to him, because Emperor Xuanren saw it all. Not a guy who can hold his breath, seeing that he is useless, he will definitely find a way to do it, so he discussed with Ming Qian, Gao Taotao, Lin Qingdai and others, and planned to take him down on the day Emperor Xuan Ren arrived.

Sure enough, at noon the next day, it was heard that the Jin soldiers had withdrawn fifty miles away, and the whole Dali city was full of discussions. That night, as Du Wenhao expected, Emperor Xuanren came.

"Grandpa, have you heard about the sudden retreat of the golden soldiers outside the city?" Emperor Xuanren said excitedly to Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao nodded indifferently, without any reaction.

Emperor Xuanren said: "I heard that the people in the capital of the Jin Kingdom suddenly contracted some kind of disease, and the attack was fierce. Lord, do you think God helped me?"

Du Wenhao glanced at Emperor Xuanren, and at this moment Mingqian walked past the hall and made a gesture to Du Wenhao. Du Wenhao understood that the people brought by Emperor Xuanren had already been taken care of by Gao Taotao, so he thought Sure enough, he smiled and said, "Then I don't need to make that thing for the emperor, do I?"

Emperor Xuan Ren said: "You still don't worry, do it first, what if the news is not reliable?"

Du Wenhao saw that his words were insincere, so he knew that he really wanted to do something, so he said calmly, "Is the emperor's illness better?"

Emperor Xuan Ren said impatiently: "It hasn't been good all the time, but it has become more serious recently."

Du Wenhao said: "Is it possible that the emperor has been at Concubine Mu's place every day recently?"

Emperor Xuan Ren was taken aback, and said, "How do you know?"

Du Wenhao got up and walked to Emperor Xuan Ren, and said with a smile: "Because if you don't eat at Concubine Mu Gui, how can my wife Ke Yao poison your food and wine?"

When Emperor Xuanren heard it, he was shocked and turned pale. He was about to call for help when he saw a figure flashing outside the door. Lin Qingdai had already given acupuncture points to Emperor Xuanren.

"Wen Hao, what should we do next?"

Du Wenhao smiled and said: "Now we should go to General Xue's mansion, take this little emperor with us, and then you rush to Gu Yifei's place and let them be ready at any time."

After hearing this, Lin Qingdai went down, while Du Wenhao and Ming Qian got into the emperor's carriage and led the emperor towards General Xue's mansion.

In the middle of the night, one after another fireworks in Dali City suddenly rushed into the sky, and immediately, there were earth-shattering killings inside and outside the city.Du Wenhao, the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, Li Pu, and Dali General Xue's troops raised their troops together, and suddenly there were shouts of killing inside and outside the Dali Imperial City.

A fierce battle killed the whole night.

Finally, it was dawn, and inside and outside the Dali Palace, there were corpses everywhere.Du Wenhao's army has completely controlled the entire Dali.Using his newly invented chemical and biological weapons, his army easily defeated the enemy and was marching on the capital of Dali.

Du Wenhao was wearing a royal robe, standing in front of the main hall of Dali Palace, Gao Taotao, Lin Qingdai, Ke Yao, Murong Yulan, Li Pu and others stood behind him.

In the east, a vigorous sun is rising.
