"Now the queen has taken control of the imperial army, and the royal city has been pacified."
Speaking of this, Yuyao was a little happy.
This incident was dangerous, but it was over in the end. The queen was fine, and she even killed Concubine Li and Concubine Shu, thus stabilizing her position in the middle palace.
"Is the king here? I want to meet the king."
The queen told Yuyao to hand over the memorial to Shi Le personally, but after all, she was just a slave and could not go in and report at will.
Lu Qichang wanted to ask again, but he was afraid that Shi Le would find out and say that he had other intentions.
"I'm going to find Eunuch Ma."
Lu Qichang went in, and after a while, Ma Fang came out.
Seeing Ma Fang, Yuyao immediately greeted her: "Eunuch Ma, the queen ordered me to deliver a secret memorial. I must hand it over with my own hands."
Yuyao and Ma Fang are familiar with each other, and it is much easier to talk.
Ma Fang nodded and said, "You come with me."
Yuyao followed Ma Fang into the backyard. When she reached the door, Yuyao stopped and Ma Fang went in first.
Shi Le was practicing in the backyard, and Ma Fang was standing by, not daring to disturb Shi Le's practice.
After Kong Ji disappeared, Shi Le practiced day and night. The only one he could rely on now was himself.
After a long time, Shi Le opened his eyes.
Ma Fang immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen has sent Yuyao to deliver the secret memorial. She is waiting outside the door."
Shi Le nodded slightly, and Ma Fang immediately led Yu Yao in.
"My servant pays homage to the king!"
Yuyao knelt down and kowtowed, holding the secret music in both hands.
Shi Le accepted the secret note and opened it immediately
After reading the memorial, Shi Le's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Yu Yao's head with one hand and asked, "How could this happen?"
Yuyao knew that Shi Le was sometimes irritable, so she immediately replied: "Li Guangliang colluded with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The evidence is conclusive, including private letters and seals."
Yuyao immediately took out the secret letter and golden seal from her arms, Ma Fang took them and presented them to Shi Le.
Shi Le then let go of Yu Yao and took the secret letter and read it carefully.
Long Chen had written a letter of war to Shi Le, so Shi Le recognized Long Chen's handwriting.
Moreover, Long Chen's handwriting is unique and very recognizable.
These secret letters of fornication were all written by Long Chen himself, and then he asked Zhe'er to put them in the study.
Shi Le recognized it at a glance as a letter written by Long Chen. It was absolutely correct.
Turn the golden seal over and see the words Xingqinghou Seal.
Shi Le cursed angrily: "I trust the Li family so much, how dare Li Guangliang conspire with Long Chengen to rebel! How unreasonable!"
"Preach this king's decree and destroy the entire Li family!"
Ma Fang was about to deliver the order when Yuyao immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the Li family has been killed."
Shi Le cursed: "Well done! The dog thief deserves to die!"
After scolding Li Guangliang and Concubine Li, Shi Le asked again: "What happened to the second prince? Why did he want to rebel?"
The queen said so in the memorial, but Shi Le didn't quite believe it.
Yuyao replied: "Li Yan instigated Liu Yubi to poison and murder the queen. When the queen was dying, the second prince wanted to kill the queen, seize the position in the middle palace, and support Concubine Shu."
"Kill the queen, then kill Li Yan, and put the blame on the Li family."
After hearing this, Shi Le sighed and cursed: "I asked him to guard the royal city and stabilize the foundation of the rear, but the traitor is thinking about his own future."
Now that powerful enemies are ahead, Xixia is in danger, Shi Yuncheng is still considering his own personal interests, and Shi Le is heartbroken.
Ma Fang and Yu Yao did not dare to speak anymore, for fear that Shi Le would be angry with them.
"You go back and escort the traitor to Guancheng. The king will interrogate him personally!"
Shi Le was very angry. He wanted to ask Shi Yuncheng face to face why he was so disregardful of the overall situation and why he betrayed his trust.
Yuyao immediately bowed and said: "I accept the order, I will leave!"
Yuyao immediately got up, exited the backyard, and immediately rode back to the royal city.
After leaving Guancheng, Yuyao felt that she had escaped.
Shi Le was so irritable that he almost had his neck broken just now.
After running dozens of miles away, Yuyao still felt chills running down her back.
In the prefect's mansion.
Shi Le took the secret letter of Li Guangliang's affair and put it on the table with Xingqing Houyin, feeling confused in his heart.
Li Yan was his favorite concubine, and Li Guangliang was his confidant.
Shi Yuncheng is his biological son, and his status is second only to Shi Haoran.
These people actually rebelled!
Shi Le felt that no one around him could be trusted.
The queen is the victim this time, but Lu Qichang, the privy councilor, is jealous and can poison Zhao Lun, which is not a good thing.
Shi Le felt like he was really alone.
After a long time, Shi Le slowly stood up and went back to his room to rest.
"Back off."
Shi Le said something, and Ma Fang left the room.
When they arrived at the front yard, Lu Qichang grabbed Ma Fang and asked, "What did the king say?"
Yuyao came out just now, and Lu Qichang wanted to ask clearly. Yuyao didn't want to be here, so he just left with a few words.
Ma Fang shook his head and said: "Master Lu, I don't know yet. If you want to know more about it, I suggest you write a letter to the queen."
He only said a few words just now. Ma Fang could only make a rough guess, and he couldn't understand it.
Lu Qichang immediately returned to his room and wrote a letter asking the queen what happened.
Yangcheng.
Long Chen came out of the room with a slightly tired look on his face.
When they arrived at Qianya, Wu Jian was discussing military affairs with Han Ziping and others.
"Hey, isn't this King Wu? He was actually released."
Seeing Long Chen coming out, Wu Jian laughed and joked, while Han Ziping and others winked.
Long Chen yawned, sat down and said, "Stop talking nonsense, let's talk about the situation."
Wu Jian said: "In the past months when you were away, the Holy One has replenished us with more than 10,000 troops, and the Long Family Army has replenished 200,000 troops."
"Gongsun Linglong said she was ready. She asked when we would take action."
"In terms of grain and grass, the wheat has been harvested and the capital has sent enough grain and grass."
"In addition, the harvest in the fields over Zhenguo Temple has begun, and the harvest is pretty good."
"The cities east of Yangcheng are basically stable. Although Shi Le is still harassing us, the impact is not significant. These cities are firmly under our control."
Originally, Shi Le sent troops to harass and attack the officials of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Later, Zhang Qian took revenge, especially since Bai Tingting often sneaked into the Xixia city to assassinate her. Shi Le gradually gave up his sneak attacks, and the two sides finally calmed down a bit.
After the sneak attacks subsided, according to Long Chen's plan, the cities redistributed land, and at the same time distributed grain to the people, and the people gradually stabilized.
For ordinary people, having enough food to live well is the last word, and everything else is nonsense.
The people in the surrounding cities also slowly joined the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
"Where is Guancheng?"
Long Chen stretched out and felt his back was a little sore.
Wu Jian continued: "Shi Le has been recruiting troops, and now there are about 250,000 troops. But I heard that there is not enough food and grass, and the soldiers are very complaining."
"Kong Ji's whereabouts are still unknown. Some monk soldiers made trouble and were suppressed."
Long Chen asked: "Is there any movement at Li's Liquor Shop?"
Long Chen was certain that Kong Ji's disappearance was related to Shen Wanjin, and the Li's Liquor Shop was the main hall of Wanjin Tower in Xixia.
For such a big thing as Kong Ji's kidnapping, the Li's Liquor Shop should be able to find clues.
Wu Jian shook his head and said: "I kept staring, but there was no movement. I didn't see Shen Wanjin come back."
Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "This Shen Wanjin tied up Kongji and hid him. Is he practicing the Mad Lion Art?"
The only valuable thing in Kong Ji's body is the Mad Lion Art, and Shen Wanjin's goal must be this.
Han Ziping was surprised and said: "What do you mean, sir, Shen Wanjin kidnapped Kong Ji for the secret law of Xixia?"
Long Chen nodded and said: "I guess so, but what exactly happened can only be known by asking Shen Wanjin."
"Brothers have had enough rest and enough food and grass. It's time for the decisive battle."
