Qing Ping Le · Double Songs

A fierce battle, full of light.Rong Che cut off Li Wuda's head, and killed Li Wuda's brother-in-law who led others to surround and kill her. She grabbed Li Wuda's head and snatched a fast horse from the stables of Li's mansion, and walked away from the chaotic mansion. , Going straight to the direction of the main camp of the Gaoshan Camp.

When Daying saw a man galloping towards him on horseback, he immediately took precautions. Rong Che threw the bloody head over and shouted, "I am Princess Qingping. Li Wuda deceived the emperor with the intention of rebelling against me. Cut off the head." She sat tall and upright on the horse, her eyes swept everyone in front of her sharply.

Li Wuda's lieutenant carefully identified the head on the ground. After confirming that it was Li Wuda, he didn't dare to move rashly. After a few people quietly exchanged glances, a general stepped forward and said respectfully, "The general wants to ask the princess to give me a token."

Rong Che took off the "Qingping" token from his waist and threw it over. After the man took it, several people carefully identified it, and then they decided that Rong Che's identity was not fake, and continued, "Please talk to the Princess."

Without the slightest hesitation, Rong Che entered the Gaoshan camp alone. If she wants to convince these people, she must not be timid. After entering the main tent, she was greeted to the chief seat, and the four lieutenants of the Gaoshan camp were all present and saluted together, " I will see Princess Qingping at the end."

Qingping's indifferent eyes swept across the crowd, and instead of accepting the ceremony, he asked, "Why didn't the rebels make trouble in the south of the Dongjiang River without your Gaoshan camp reporting back to the court, let alone resisting from your Gaoshan camp? Secretly informed the rebels."

None of the four of them expected Rong Che to be so direct. They couldn't answer for a while, so they just searched her face with a pair of eyes, but they couldn't find any emotion on that face.When they didn't answer, Rong Che remained silent, and there was an eerie dead silence in the tent, until the guards reported outside the tent that the people from Li's residence had arrived.

The deputy general who spoke just now found this opportunity and hurriedly said, "The last general will go out and have a look first, the princess will wait here for a while." After saying that, he stepped out of the big tent.

Seeing that there was no way for the remaining three to continue doing this, one of the lieutenants took the lead to break the silence, and said, "What the princess said just now, I will wait to see the fire from the other side is really serious, but the 20 rebel soldiers are as if they are entering no one's land all the way. , my Gaoshan battalion has only 10 troops, and if we rashly send out troops, the loss of troops will be small or the whole army will be wiped out."

Rong Che looked at him, and the person he was staring at bowed his head and felt nervous, she said, "What's your name?"

"The last general Yang Shan."

She spelled out every word, "If you can't beat him, just sit back and wait for Daxia to be destroyed, and then switch to another leader. It doesn't make any difference to be your general."

Yang Shan panicked and said, "The last general didn't mean that, the last general didn't want the soldiers to die in vain."

"Jiangbei Daying, the garrison in each city, and Gaoshan Battalion are not my good sons in Daxia. Don't tell me their sacrifices for the country are just death in your eyes?"

Yang Shan was in embarrassment for a while, but he knew that Princess Qingping's words were justified, because they were greedy for life and afraid of death, so he was ashamed for a while, so he could only say, "I will know my crime, I will know my crime."

Although the other two did not open their mouths, they listened to everything they said. They served as soldiers all year round. Although they did not serve in the same battalion, they never saw each other, but their friendship was like an invisible blood. Together, a sense of sadness and admiration suddenly rose in their hearts.

Seeing that Yang Shan had sued him, the two of them said the same thing, "I will eventually be found guilty."

Rong Che's eyes were still indifferent, but when he spoke again, the previous indifference was lost, "Even if you are a one-man guard, you must protect every inch of my Great Xia."

The three of them said in unison, "The final general will follow the instructions of the princess."

After about a cup of tea, the lieutenant who went out returned to the tent with a heavy heart, he hesitated between his brows, so he didn't see anything unusual about the four of them. A long sword cut off General Li's head and killed the general's brother-in-law. At this time, the general's wife was crying at home, and she had already found the local sheriff to arrest this person and hand him over to Li's residence.

Among the four, he is the closest to Li Wuda, and he is even more like a brother to Mrs. Li's younger brother, but the so-called killer is the current princess after all. He couldn't make up his mind after thinking about it for a moment, so he sent the people from Li's mansion away first, and then went to investigate. After all, let's see if we can catch some handles and then find another countermeasure.

After making up his mind, he took action immediately. After saluting again, he took the initiative to attack and asked, "I don't know what the princess is talking about?"

"I have made it clear before that I am ordered to oversee the army to conquer the rebels."

Rolling his eyeballs around, he asked, "The last general dares to ask the soldiers to take a look."

Rong Che's face immediately turned cold, and his eyes became even colder, "Are you doubting my identity or His Majesty's will?"

This person took advantage of the victory to pursue, "The last general didn't mean that, the last general just wanted to invite soldiers to take a look."

Rong Che didn't dodge and said bluntly, "I am ordered to oversee the army, but it's not that I don't have soldiers without military symbols."

The man said, "The last general has the guts to say one more thing, since the princess doesn't have a military talisman, why did he kill Li Wuda, the commander of the Gaoshan Battalion, without authorization? Is this also an order?"

Rong Che used to look at this person with indifferent eyes, and he was still calm, "As the commander of the Gaoshan Battalion, Li Wuda saw the rebels making trouble, but he just managed to get by. I went to the mansion to convey His Majesty's orders. Not only did he refuse to follow the orders, but he even intended to kill me. , such crimes deserve death.”

"The last general has followed General Li for many years and knows General Li's nature well. What's more, the general has no reason to kill the princess. The princess is fabricating facts to cover up the murder." Seeing that the time is right, he hurriedly said, "Come on, Hurry up and take down this pretender."

Soldiers outside the tent entered in response, and the situation inside the tent took a sharp turn for the worse.Rong Che was still sitting in the main seat, his eyes were calm and calm, and his aura was convincing. At this moment, Yang Shan said in time, "Back down."

"Yang Shan, could it be that you have colluded with this person?" The lieutenant who was closest to Li Wuda didn't know what happened to him, so he just beat him to death with a stick, "Take Yang Shan together."

Seeing that the two lieutenants were in a stalemate and did not dare to move rashly, the soldiers just bowed their heads and stood aside. The other two lieutenants were thinking in their hearts at this moment, and had not yet weighed how to deal with it.

"Presumptuous." Yang Shan said angrily, "Zhao Dachuan, what are you doing? This is Princess Qingping, how dare you do it."

Zhao Dachuan insisted, "This assassin is pretending to be the princess, don't be fooled."

"I think you want to rebel." Yang Shan drew his sword and pointed at him, "It's fine if you are usually close to General Li's family, but you can't commit crimes in vain, with me, Yang Shan, you don't want to touch a hair of the princess .”

Rong Che took a light look at the situation and spoke again, "It is an indisputable fact that the rebels rebelled against the Gaoshan camp and retreated. Rather than making mistakes again and again, it is better to know how to go astray. Your Majesty can also understand the painstaking efforts of the generals."

As soon as this remark came out, it was to tell the other two generals to erase their previous crimes and let them go. Unable to react before falling to the ground, the man said, "Take Zhao Dachuan down and keep him under strict supervision."

"Yes." The soldiers in the tent finally dared to promise and took the injured Zhao Dachuan down.

The tent was calm and silent for a while, this time it was Yang Shan who took the lead, but this time he asked about the military situation, "The last general has the courage to ask, the princess came this time and has a plan to deal with the rebels."

"I don't know if you guys know something about the battle on the North Shore?"

"The news of the great victory on the north bank came here a few days ago. The disparity in the strength of the troops was huge, but the rebels were pushed back to the south bank. It can be seen that the commander commanded the army wisely like a god."

Hearing this, Rong Che said calmly, "Then everyone must know why the imperial army would stick to the north bank and choose to confront the rebels instead of crossing the river."

"Naturally, the disparity in military strength makes it impossible to advance rashly." Yang Shan suddenly realized, and said urgently, "The princess came here because he wanted the Gaoshan camp to attack him and the Jiangbei camp to cross the river, and cooperate with the outside."

"Exactly."

Yang Shan clasped his fists and waited loudly, "The final general is willing to listen to the command of the princess."

The remaining two also clasped their fists and said, "The general is willing to listen to the command of the princess."

Ten days later, the Gaoshan Battalion marched and attacked the rebel camp from behind. Wei Changdong had already dispatched [-] elite soldiers from the Jiangbei camp to dive across the river at night to disrupt the rebels stationed on the south bank from the front. It was difficult to make the best response for a while, and the rebels were a little confused.

And the [-] pioneers were just buying time for the [-] troops that followed. The boats were launched, and in an instant thousands of boats sailed across the river.

Previously, Rong Che had made arrangements for this battle before Wei Changdong on the night of his departure. The garrison troops of Henan and Yun prefectures belonged to the south bank, so they knew the terrain first and these two prefectures would take the lead. The chance of the generals of Erzhou redeeming their merits and bravery did not lead the soldiers of Erzhou to sink into the enemy camp and suffered heavy casualties. This move also regained the hearts of Erzhou.

Two days after the attack on the river, Nanyang City got the good news of the battle. The remnants of the rebels from the three provinces recovered and continued to flee south. It seemed that they had the intention of fleeing back to southern Xinjiang.

Rong Ling in the court hall was overjoyed after reviewing the front-line victory report, and she said with a smile in her clear voice, "Qing Ping and Wei Changdong both contributed to this battle, and when the army returns to the court, I will reward them both." .”

Shang Shusheng Ye Mei is an old minister, and the empress has relied heavily on her since she was in charge of the court, but now he came out and poured cold water on the East Palace, "The old minister thinks that His Royal Highness should immediately call Princess Qingping back to the court."

"Why did Lord Ye say that?" Rong Ling raised her brows lightly, and said, "The two battles in succession were big victories. Besides, the rebels fled south, and now is a good time to pursue them. Calling the commander back at this time may disturb the morale of the army."

Master Ye said respectfully, "Reporting to Your Highness, the old minister does not want His Highness to give up on continuing to conquer the rebels, but hopes that His Highness can recall Princess Qingping as the commander-in-chief."

"I think Master Ye must have a reason for what he said?"

"The old minister heard that the princess had mobilized the Gaoshan battalion without obtaining the military talisman. Although this was a last resort at the time, the fact that the princess killed Li Wuda, the commander of the Gaoshan battalion, was hard to ignore, so the veteran thought that the county The lord is a bit perverse and rash, it is not appropriate to lead troops to march, it is better to call back to the capital as soon as possible."

Rong Ling was displeased but still said calmly, "Qingping didn't say that she was going to be called back when he was fighting bravely outside. Now that the rebel army has been wiped out and only the remnants of the defeated army are going to call her back, does this seem like the court is too ruthless?"

The three provinces are the center of the court and have always been close. Since Shang Shusheng has this intention, Zhongshu Sheng is also the same. Zhongshu Sheng Li Chunsheng said, "Your Highness, the old minister also thinks that Princess Qingping should be recalled as soon as possible."

"Oh?" Rong Ling's displeasure had surfaced from the bottom of her heart, but her tone was still calm and asking, "Master Li also has Master Ye's intentions?"

"The veteran thinks that it's not just that, the relationship between Princess Qingping and the rebel commander is complicated. Once the rebels flee back to the southern border, the situation may be unpredictable. This joint has to be guarded against."

Rong Ling's tone turned cold in vain, and said, "If Qing Ping still has a relationship with the rebel commander, why would he swear allegiance to the court to kill [-] rebels and horses? Are the two adults worrying too much?"

Li Chunsheng insisted, "It's not that the old minister is worrying too much, but that the old minister is really thinking of His Royal Highness. The 20 army was able to win a complete victory against the [-] army. It seems reasonable but unreasonable to kill Li Wuda without authorization and mobilize the high-mountain camp to defeat the rebels." More than usual, regardless of whether Princess Qingping really has a conspiracy to kill the enemy or pretends to confuse the court, he has to take precautions, and the veteran thinks that His Highness should recall him as soon as possible."

Rong Ling said angrily, "What do you mean? Alluding to the fact that these two victories were fake and they were just acting for Ben Gong, so tell me why she did this?"

"The old minister dare not speculate on his own. We have to wait for His Royal Highness to recall the princess before we can find out."

Rong Ling was already furious and was about to explode, but Rong Cheng came out and said, "Princess Qingping dispatched troops without a military talisman, but there is something wrong with it." Unacceptable things happen from time to time, but the doubts of the two adults are not unreasonable. Since it is imperative to recall Princess Qingping in this way, His Highness has to make the final decision on all this. What do you mean?"

"What is the meaning of Princess Anle's words? The old minister is also thinking of His Royal Highness and my Great Xia."

Rong Cheng smiled at the corners of his brows, "I should know that Master Li has always been loyal to share your worries, but I just hope that Master Li can compare his heart to Princess Qingping who is fighting outside."

Li Chunsheng was speechless for a while, Ye Mei said, "Princess Anle's words are reasonable, the old minister is confused."

Rong Ling's gathered eyebrows could not be calmed down for a long time, Rong Cheng made a gesture to the female officer behind him, and the female officer understood, "Your Highness has to go to listen to the imperial lecture, and this is the end of today's discussion, all adults have worked hard."

"I'm waiting to retire."

After the people left, Rong Ling threw out the memorial in hand, and said angrily, "These two old foxes are here to point fingers at this moment."

Rong Cheng said, "Your Majesty Ye and Li are the assistant ministers of your Majesty. They are used to presiding over the overall situation in the court and commanding the courtiers. Now that the six ministries have been brought under His Highness's command, there is a tendency to neglect the three provinces. In order to protect their status, the three provinces must still be in Gaoshan. Take advantage of the problem in the camp."

Rong Ling patted the table, "I'm still afraid that they won't succeed."

Rong Cheng shook his head, and said in a helpless tone, "I am afraid that what your Highness has to worry about is not the Three Provinces but the Luohua Hall." Rong Ling raised her eyebrows lightly, her eyes puzzled, and she said, "Although your Highness supervises the country, these old foxes don't care about it." Will you not notice that Ye and Li Suai are playing tricks to check and balance the court, I am worried that if His Highness fails to fulfill their wishes in this matter, the three provinces will join court officials to welcome His Majesty to re-preside over the overall situation."

"If they don't, they won't be able to. The Luohua Palace is the inner garden of the imperial palace. They still want to go straight to the imperial palace."

Seeing that Rong Ling was getting more and more angry, Rong Cheng had no choice but to change the topic first, "I thought His Highness still wanted to put on a show for San Sheng about A Che, and draw up a decree to call him back, and I will write a letter later. Let Jingyu personally deliver the letter to Ah Che, she naturally knows what to do."

Rong Ling asked, "What do you want her to do?"

"It's not suitable for Ah Che to return to Beijing right now. If she comes back to the three provinces, she will definitely make a big fuss. Even if His Highness tries to overcome all arguments, the best result for Ah Che can only be unemployment, but as long as she doesn't come back to the court, no matter what. Arguing won't help, and it won't be too late to call her back after His Highness ascends the throne and the overall situation is stable in the future."

"I also know that it's not the time for her to come back at this moment. It's just that the three provinces are aggressive and afraid that the comer is not good. It is true that they want to use this incident to shock the palace." What's more, the position is not guaranteed, the blue is blue, and there are some ways to control the new king and shake his prestige to intimidate the courtiers, but what I hate the most are these old guys with bad intentions."

The air in the hall is very humid. It is obvious that God is planning to rain a heavy rain, an autumn rain and a cold one. I don’t know when Nanyang City has entered autumn.Rong Cheng looked at the woman in the red dress like the scorching sun above the main hall, and suddenly thought of the three of them when they were young, innocent and carefree.

Rong Ling's eyes fell on her face and she asked in a daze, "What are you thinking?"

Rong Cheng returned to his thoughts, and smiled slightly, "I was wondering if it's going to rain again later."

Rong Ling looked past her and looked outside the hall. The thick clouds and the damp air were a sign of rain, and it was not a small rain.
