Chapter 472 Turning the war into jade
In just a few days, the Queen was deposed and Prince Yu was demoted. People in the capital were panicked. But at this time, Emperor Yong'an was seriously ill again and the morning court was also suspended. Everyone felt that something was going to change.
In Emperor Yong'an's palace, the imperial concubine kept crying next to her. Watching the imperial doctor shaking his head while diagnosing the pulse, she felt that all her strength had been drained away.
The Supreme Emperor stepped forward, glanced at the gray-faced Emperor Yong'an, and asked the imperial doctor with concern: "How is it?"
The imperial doctor knelt down and apologized, "I am incompetent. Your Majesty is so anxious that you can't even get sick. I have tried several prescriptions, but there is still no improvement."
Seeing that the imperial doctor was helpless, the emperor's eyes darkened and he fell down on his chair.
At this time, the imperial concubine recovered from her sadness and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Shen Ruzhou has great medical skills and will definitely be able to cure the emperor's illness."
Shen Ruzhou had cured all her dangerous symptoms before, so the emperor's illness should be no problem.
The Supreme Emperor seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and hurriedly ordered the eunuch in charge: "Go and invite Shen Ruzhou."
Xiao Chenyan heard this and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Shen Ruzhou is currently in Beijing City, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come for a while."
The Supreme Emperor's face suddenly turned black as ink, and he tapped the floor tiles of Taiqing Palace with his crutch, making a banging sound.
"The prince can't wait to ascend the throne? Are you eagerly looking forward to the emperor's death?!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall knelt down, and no one dared to express his anger.
Xiao Chenyan knelt in front of the Supreme Emperor, kowtowed and apologized, "Emperor Grandpa, my grandson has absolutely no such thoughts. My grandson will send people to the north as fast as possible to ask Shen Ruzhou to come over and treat his father."
"Then go quickly."
"Yes." Xiao Chenyan exited the hall and said a few words to Jun Wu.
He took the decoction brought by the palace maid and walked over to serve Emperor Yong'an personally.
After a long time, the Supreme Emperor let out a long sigh and waved his hand to the room full of people, "You all go down first, the prince will stay here to serve you."
After everyone retreated, the Supreme Emperor pointed to the soft couch beside him and said to Xiao Chenyan: "You should also sit down, I have been tired for two days."
"Thank you, Grandpa Emperor." Xiao Chenyan put the empty medicine bowl on the low table and sat down next to the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor looked at the dark green eyes under his eyes and said distressedly, "I know you are filial. I have seen you serving your father in all your clothes these past two days. But why did you act so coldly when I said you wanted to invite Shen Ruzhou to see a doctor?" Hesitated?"
Xiao Chenyan replied with some shame: "It's not that my grandson doesn't want to treat his father's illness, it's just that when he thinks of Shen Ruzhou, he feels angry in his heart, so he makes a gaffe for a moment. Please forgive me, Grandpa Huang."
That woman refused to go back to Beijing with him without even thinking about it, and she even mocked him with cold words. The contempt in her eyes made him grit his teeth with hatred even thinking about it.
"Are you still angry? If you hadn't betrayed her first, would she have reconciled with you?" the Supreme Emperor said angrily.
Shen Ruzhou came to ask him to marry her that day. She was so beautiful and charming at that time, and her eyes were full of love when she looked at Xiao Chenyan. The Supreme Emperor couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
"Chen Yan, Shen Ruzhou liked you so much at the beginning, and he sincerely asked me to marry you. I saw that she was also a good girl, so I granted the marriage. But as for you, you brought your concubine into the house on the day you got married, and later you It's really a sin to treat her poorly all the time and force her to become disheartened and divorce you."
The Emperor's words reminded Xiao Chenyan of Shen Ruzhou's kindness to him, and he felt regretful in his heart, "Grandpa Huang, I know she is good, but it is all my fault that I hurt her heart."
The Supreme Emperor reached out and stroked Xiao Chenyan's head, with a look of love and affection on his face, "Chen Yan, no matter how powerful you are, it's not as good as having someone by your side who treats you sincerely."
He glanced at the still unconscious Emperor Yong'an in the yellow tent, sighed and continued: "Everyone outside said that the emperor made the Queen and Prince Yu angry, but in fact he was angry with himself. He was angry with himself for unjustly accusing him. Wife. The late queen married the emperor when she was sixteen years old, and she supported him wholeheartedly. He felt guilty. "
After hearing this, Xiao Chenyan's eyes became sore and swollen. He secretly vowed to win back Shen Ruzhou. He couldn't lose her, let alone live in endless regret and guilt.
At this time, a victory had just been won in Beijing City, thousands of miles away, and everyone was immersed in warm cheers.
After Shen Mu asked his soldiers to count the number of people killed in the battle in Bei Liao, he reported to the north at Xiuxiu Banquet: "Your Majesty, Bei Liao was defeated twice in a row. The 50,000 men and horses are now less than 20,000. If our army attacks tomorrow, we will go straight to Bei Liao." The Liao camp will be able to completely annihilate the enemy troops and completely end the war."
Beixiu Yan stood in front of the map, looked at it with a solemn face for a long time, and then said: "Mu Zheng is not a warlike person. He only came to attack the city because of natural disasters this time. If we attack his royal tent, we will It is a complete enmity with Beiliao, and the border will never have peace."
As soon as Beixiu Yan's words came out, Shen Mu remembered that since Mu Zheng became the Queen of Bei Liao, she had never taken the initiative to attack the northern border.
Shen Mu held up his hand and admired Bei Xiuyan's foresight.
"What the prince said is that if the Mu Zheng is completely defeated, the forty-eight tribes of Northern Liao will fall apart and become kings. Without restraint, the lives of the people in Beijing City will also be affected by this."
Beixiu Yan nodded, with a flash of light in his eyes, "I want to send people to negotiate peace and sign a treaty with Mu Zheng, so that Northern Liao and Southern Xinjiang can live in peace with us."
Who to send for peace talks was the question at hand.
Shen Mu was in trouble, "Your Majesty, if we ask the imperial court for instructions at this time, it will take at least ten days to go back and forth. I'm afraid it will be too late."
"There is no need to send one from Beijing." Bei Xiuyan's eyes swept over the generals in the camp, and finally fell on the company's deputy general.
Lieutenant General Lian had a look of fear on his face. Before Bei Xiuyan could speak, he declined: "Your Majesty, I am a military general. I can only lead troops to fight. I really can't do peace talks."
Bei Xiuyan's eyebrows rose, the corners of his mouth curved, and he said, "Don't worry, you are only a nominal peace envoy. I, the king, will have his own arrangements to actually talk to Mu Zheng."
In the evening, Shen Mu talked about the peace talks with a pair of children. Shen Chumu's injury had almost healed, and he said with some regret: "Oh, I thought I would wait until the injury healed before I went to attack Mu Zheng's lair." , it seems it won’t work.”
Shen Ruzhou scolded at the side: "Brother, it's easy to destroy Mu Zheng's lair, but what happens next? If you want long-lasting peace in the north, you have to turn conflicts into friendship."
"Ru Zhou is right. Peace talks are the best way at the moment." Shen Mu looked at his daughter with eyes filled with admiration.
"By the way, does daddy know who the regent plans to send for peace talks?" Shen Ruzhou raised his eyebrows and asked. Peace talks between the two parties, how to negotiate, and how to make a treaty are not simple matters, so it is very important to select the right envoy.
Having said this, Shen Mu shook his head, "Your Majesty only stated that Lieutenant General is the messenger for the peace talks, and he has his own arrangements for the actual peace talks."
Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou's heart skipped a beat.
Does Beixiuyan have to go to the peace talks in person?
