Chapter 22
Two days later.
【Nanping Kingdom·Imperial Palace·Wolong Palace】
It has been a day and a night since all civil and military officials bowed their heads and knelt outside the hall. Everyone looked terrified, but their hearts were constantly surging.Two days ago, Prince Li rebelled and forced the palace. Fortunately, the army returned to the court in time to turn the tide. A bloody storm in the palace was not dangerous, but it also made the elderly emperor unable to bear it any longer.
Today is the stage where the medicine and stone are incapacitated, and the ministers know in their hearts that it is time for the old emperor of Nanping to leave.
The resplendent palace was filled with the pungent smell of medicine. More than a dozen imperial doctors were trembling and kneeling in front of the emperor's dragon bed, the crown prince Sima Yun was standing in front of the sick bed, and two or three important court officials were waiting for the emperor's will.
"Yun'er..."
The old and weak call made Sima Yun tremble, and he hurriedly moved to Sima Shen's side and put his ear to it: "Father, my son is here."
"Fu... Fuxi hasn't... come back..."
"Father... Master Fu is rushing back, you have to hold on." Sima Yun looked at Sima Shen sadly and said.
"You have to listen...you have to listen to Fuxi to keep Nanping..." Sima Shen said angrily, holding back his dull eyes, "Your uncle dares to rebel at this time...just because Fuxi is not in the court ..."
"Father, don't worry... the child will definitely listen to Master Fu..." Sima Yun pursed his lips and nodded, respectfully and obediently.
"if……"
"Report—Master Fuxi has arrived—"
Fuxi, dressed in a black cloak, rushed into the Crouching Dragon Hall in a hurry. Even though he was out of breath, the travel and dust could not conceal his innate elegance. With a gloomy and serious face, he walked straight to Sima Shen's bedside.
"Is Your Majesty still safe?" Fuxi asked, he had not expected such a big change in the palace after staying in the back field for ten days.
"It's time for me to serve my ancestors... I will tell you about you..."
"Your Majesty will not disgrace your mission, please rest assured." Fuxi said in a flat tone, just saying this.
"Baili... Bailige..." Sima Shen said in a hoarse voice.
"He has already been dismissed as a general and put on death row. Please send your majesty's army to march west immediately." Fuxi lowered his eyes and said calmly.
"Alright...Yuan Bao will read the drafted decree..." the old emperor gave the order with his last breath.
"Old slave obeys." The old eunuch, who was also in his twilight years, hobbled with the imperial decree and walked outside the Crouching Dragon Hall, and read it in a hoarse old voice.
"Following the imperial decree of Chengyun, it is said: As soon as the crown prince, Sima Yun, ascended to the throne, he personally commanded the Nanping army to march westward, and appointed Fuxi as the supervisor of the army to set off with the army. The left prime minister, Li Si, and the right prime minister, Duan Rong, supervise the country. "
"Your servants are obedient, long live my emperor, long live, long live——"
"My son obeys orders, long live my father, long live, long live——"
When all the ministers bowed their heads and shouted, they could only hear the imperial doctor's trembling voice screaming: "Your Majesty has passed away—"
"Father! Father—" Sima Yun yelled hysterically, and rushed back to Sima Shen's bed with tears streaming down his face.
All the ministers and officials were weeping bitterly, but Fuxi seemed to be indifferent to all this, and stood there numbly, watching the scene of the whole country crying and mourning, suddenly feeling a little tired and tired.
Gained all this, sacrificed the love.
On November 26th of the [-]th year of Yin Fu in the Nanping calendar, Sima Shen, the emperor of Nanping Kingdom, died, and the crown prince Sima Yun ascended the throne. Following the emperor's last edict, he sent troops to the countryside and marched westward.
【Country Border · Cold Mountains】
The ginkgo fruit falls late in autumn, and the clouds are clear to return at dusk.Wang Qing talks more, and the blue bird is tired of Lai Fei.
The land of thousands of miles of mountains stretches as far as the eye can see, the terrain is complex and treacherous, covered with darkness, the frosty wind is miserable, the fog and rain are numerous, and the end of the frosty road can't be seen, and the army of the Nanping Kingdom is stationed in this desolate and cold mountain. The place of contention.
The frost in the night is getting colder and colder, and the wind like a knife is hunting.The man stands on a cliff, looking at the endless mountains leading to the small border town of Houye. He is dressed in a snow-white fox fur as the color of falling snow, and holds a green jade flute in his hand.
A long and distant sound of the flute pierces through the land of beacon fire, like a stone falling into Pinghu Lake, and ripples spread across the entire lake. Bitterness and melancholy seem to connote the bleak scene without end.
"Fuxi can also play the flute."
A frivolous yet majestic voice came from behind Fuxi, breaking the quietness of the song. The sound of the flute was sonorous. Fuxi turned around and saluted in a gentle manner: "See Your Majesty."
"No." Sima Yun shrugged, and he stepped forward a few steps to Fuxi's side.
"This is a national border, it is very dangerous, please return to your tent, Your Majesty." Fuxi said gently.
"The sound of Fuxi's flute just now is mournful, and it seems to be guilty and melancholy. I don't know why?" Sima Yun said leisurely, raising his hand to put Fuxi's shoulder.
Fuxi dodged swiftly, and saluted neither humble nor overbearing: "It's just the tune, I still have some matters to deal with, so I will leave."
"Wait." Sima Yun frowned.
"What other orders do you have, Your Majesty?"
Sima Yun sneered, and he looked towards a towering city gate not far away: "I have decided to make a quick decision and attack Pingyi tomorrow morning."
"Your Majesty, please think twice before the time comes." Fuxi said respectfully.
"Imperial father can't wait for Nanping to unify the south, because he is so forward-looking and dragging the war." Sima Yun snorted coldly, and said dissatisfiedly, "I can't wait, now that Bailige is in prison, it is the best time. "
"Your Majesty came here tonight just to talk about this with my subjects?" Fuxi said calmly.
"You are my military adviser, but I am the emperor, and I can't get what I want." Sima Yun stared at Fuxi and said meaningfully.
"Your Majesty, the late emperor ordered his ministers to supervise the army." Fuxi said in a calm tone.
"This is an imperial decree." Sima Yun said solemnly.
Fuxi was stunned for a moment, but just as he was about to speak, he saw a person approaching with a radiant face in the distance.
The person who came was General Rong Yu, who was accompanied by Sima Yun. He was brave but not resourceful, and he was very happy. I don't know why the Houye King let this person come back alive. It is probably a trick of Chang Yi.Now that Sima Yun is proclaimed emperor, this Rong Yu is even more promoted.
"See Your Majesty." Rong Yu was dressed in armor, and Kong Wu looked powerful.
"Ayu, you don't have to be so born." Sima Yun smiled.
"General Rong." Fu Xi was polite.
"Hmph." Rong Yu glanced at Fu Xi, and said coldly, "This general has great fortune, Master Fu made a mistake."
"Why did the general say that?" Fuxi pretended not to understand.
"That day in Qingfeng Gorge, why did the reinforcements arrive so late? Mr. Fu just talked about it." Rong Yu sneered.
"I encountered enemy troops intercepting me on the road, and all the generals will testify to this matter." Fuxi said calmly.
"It must be your trick! Kill someone with a knife!" Rong Yu roared angrily.
"Hey, Ayu, don't talk nonsense without evidence." Sima Yun quickly stopped him, quite partial to Fuxi.
"Your Majesty, the general thinks that now is the best time to attack Pingyi. He will make a quick decision and attack Yuzhou directly!" Rong Yu changed the subject and said firmly, "Your Majesty promised the general to give an explanation tonight, whether to attack or not." Do not attack."
Fuxi suddenly understood that Sima Yun suddenly told himself that the attack on Pingyi was instigated by Rong Yu.
"No, I'm discussing with the military adviser." Sima Yun laughed.
"What does our military advisor think?" Rong Yu snorted coldly.
"The time has not come yet." Fuxi cherishes words like gold.
"Nonsense! Bailige is in prison, now is the best time to take down the back field!" Rong Yu said contemptuously, "Could it be that the military master stayed in the back field for ten days and no longer remembers that he is from there. "
"General, don't spit blood on people." Sima Yun's face was a little stern.
"Your Majesty, the last general also heard rumors in the back field, saying that there is love between Fuxi and Bailige. Your Majesty, don't trust Fuxi anymore." Rong Yu said angrily.
Sima Yun's face was strange, he stared at the calm Fuxi for a long time, seemed to be thinking about the authenticity of this sentence, and then slowly said: "Ayu, this is absolutely impossible, you don't want to put this Propagating the matter will disturb the morale of the army."
"Your Majesty... this is what the general heard with his own ears."
"If I say it's impossible, then it's impossible! If you mention this matter again, it will be dealt with by military law!" Sima Yun snapped.
Rong Yu frowned, reluctantly nodded and cupped his fists and said, "Yes! The general obeys orders!"
"I have decided to personally command the battle tomorrow. Fuxi is also tired during this period, so let's rest." Sima Yun looked at Fuxi and said meaningfully.
Fuxi suddenly smiled slightly, calm and relaxed, and saluted with a leisurely and elegant posture: "In that case, I will obey."
Sima Yun stared at Fuxi strangely, he didn't expect the other party to agree so quickly, he still didn't see anything wrong after watching for a while, and gradually fell deeply into the smile that was like the other party's spring breeze.
"Then the general will immediately line up and leave!" Rong Yu said sullenly.
"En." Sima Yun waved his hand, his eyes were still fixed on Fuxi.
After Rong Yu walked away, Sima Yun walked into Fuxi slowly, sizing up Fuxi with greedy and lustful eyes, as if he wanted to penetrate the thick cloak to peek at that graceful body: "Fuxi, I don't know Letting you touch the military plane is not to suspect you but to love you."
"Your Majesty has great love." Fuxi said calmly.
"Fuxi... stay with me for one night, and tomorrow I will make you a great prime minister, how about one man under ten thousand people?" Sima Yun murmured unconsciously, raising his hand to caress Fuxi's face.
Fuxi's face darkened, and the disgust in his eyes appeared spontaneously. He quickly dodged, cupped his hands and saluted, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave." After saying that, he turned and left, wearing fox white into the silent night.
Tuliu Sima Yun clenched his hands that stopped in mid-air into fists.
【Nanping Military Camp·Military Division Account】
The sky is full of moon, the ground is full of frost, and the song is light.
Fuxi leaned alone by the window and looked at the cold moon, thinking of every tenderness and warmth in that person's eyes, which turned out to be so far away now.
"In the end you still won..." Fuxi muttered to himself, without much disappointment on his face.
"Your Majesty is here—"
The sharp report brought Fuxi back to his senses, the disgust in his eyes disappeared in a flash, he turned around and saluted respectfully: "See Your Majesty."
"Fuxi, you don't have to salute me from now on." Sima Yun wanted to help Fuxi up as he spoke.
"Monarchs and ministers, etiquette cannot be abolished." Fuxi quickly dodged and said politely.
Sima Yun was a little embarrassed, he was silent for a while before he opened his mouth and said: "I made a slip of the tongue before, Fuxi must not take it to heart."
"I dare not."
"Send troops to Pingyi in an hour, will Fuxi want to..." Sima Yun was ashamed, just now he was in a daze and didn't care about the consequences, so he said what he thought in his heart, and he might offend the other party. If there is no such Fuxi in the army Xi, how do you fight?Even if he is the dignified son of heaven, he still has to come to apologize.
"Your Majesty wants the minister to go with the army?" Fuxi said flatly, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, this cowardly emperor is really a puddle of mud that can't support the wall.
"I wonder if Fuxi is willing?" Sima Yun said in a seemingly gentle manner.
"Since it is His Majesty's will, I must obey it." Fu Xi bowed.
"Okay, okay, then I'm relieved." Sima Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but look at Fuxi a few more times and couldn't help but tsk tsk. Speaking of which, he had fallen in love with Fuxi when he was still the prince, but the other party always He went to the front line to command the war, and he stayed in the court to supervise the country as the prince, but he was panicked, and now this man was in front of him, so he couldn't control it.
"Does Your Majesty have anything else to do?" Fuxi frowned slightly, she really couldn't stand Sima Yun's naked gaze, it was like a light on her back, and she felt uncomfortable.
"Fuxi... I am sincere to you..."
"Report to Your Majesty, the General invites Your Majesty to go to the main account to discuss important matters."
Reporting Xiaobing interrupted Sima Yun's words, Sima Yun looked dissatisfied, took a look at Fuxi, then walked away, and Fuxi just relaxed.
"puff puff"
The white pigeon flew in through the window and landed on Fuxi's shoulder, with a small bamboo tube tied to his foot.Fuxi looked a little nervous when he saw the white dove. He took off the small note on the white dove and hurriedly let the white dove fly away.
He went to the lamp and opened the note, only to see the words "No hate, no resentment, no responsibility" written on it, and he could be sure that the sender was Bailige just by the handwriting.
The six words are thin but contain deep meaning, Fuxi stared blankly at the note, even his lips were a little pale, and the lights imprinted on his beautiful eyes, colorful and deep.
