Chapter 17 The Marquis of Righteousness Becomes the Son of Heaven
Almost all the important Yuan Cong generals of the Dashun Army have gathered in Kaifeng City. Li Laiheng's wedding is about to be held. Due to the ruthless military situation and the tense military situation, this wedding will certainly not be as grand as the last time Li Laiheng and Luo Yanqing got married.
Luxury and grandeur.
However, the wedding arrangements this time were handled by Liu Tichun and Gong Yan, the Minister of Rites and Government, so although the scale was smaller, the level of solemnity and solemnity was higher than in the past.
The guards and maids were guarding the small residence of Prince Jin. Youci had already changed into a red dress. She was in an extremely nervous mood. Everything that had happened in the past few days made Youci feel as if she was in a dream, almost indistinguishable.
Clear the distinction between reality and fantasy.
When Li Laiheng summoned her from Suizhou to Kaifeng, You Ci never imagined that she would marry Li Laiheng.
Is King Jin his brother or his husband?
Of course she likes Prince Jin, but she doesn't think she is qualified to take away what belongs to Miss Luo.
You Ci had also heard about the riots and mutinies in Kaifeng City in the past few days. She knew that Li Laiheng married her as a retreat and compromise with the rebels - in fact, this matter already made You Ci feel very strange, because in her impression,
His elder brother Li Laiheng is definitely not someone who would compromise so easily.
The day before yesterday, Li Laiheng sent his close advisers to tell her that he needed to worship Liu Fangliang as his adoptive father.
All these things made Youci feel a little uneasy about this wedding that she had seen in her dreams.
Will everything get better?
The red ribbon in the boudoir was dripping red and extremely enchanting. Youci sat upright on the bed and rearranged her clothes. The maids knocked on the door. They were all sent by Luo Yanqing. For her,
——What thoughts do you have about yourself, the person who took away the status of Princess Jin?
You Ci accepted Fang Yiren's request the day before. After all, she had no right to refuse. After becoming Liu Fangliang's adoptive father, she was no longer Li Laiheng's sister. Will she become the wife of King Jin in the future?
She was secretly happy, nervous, scared, and looking forward to it, not knowing what would happen tomorrow.
"...Miss, the time is coming soon."
The maid carefully reminded her of the time to resign. She listened carefully, and there seemed to be the roar of a salute in the distance. Was it also such a grand ceremony when Li Laiheng and Luo Yanqing got married that day?
The thunderous salute seemed to shatter the uneasiness and shadow in You Ci's heart.
She held the cross in front of her chest with both hands. Although the Heavenly Father said that couples should not have concubines and that a man should only marry one woman, Li Laiheng was certainly more noble and greater than the Heavenly Father in Young Ci's mind.
Youci thought about the figure of Prince Jin, his eyes shining like stars.
The time is finally coming.
The sound of the salute resounded throughout the city, and of course the roar also reached the Queen Mother's palace. Due to preparations for the wedding, Gong Shangshu had transferred many of the palace staff away. The palace, which originally had very few people, held a grand ceremony here.
On a solemn day, it seemed even more deserted.
Luo Yanqing's pregnancy was on the verge of giving birth. Her belly was obviously bulging, and her face was haggard and worried. Everyone hid the news from her that Prince Jin was going to marry You Ci. She herself felt that something was fishy. Why did the palace go to the palace today?
How come there are so few people?
Luo Yanqing was half lying on the bed. When the palace attendants saw the cold sweat dripping down her forehead, they quickly picked up a thin silk handkerchief and wiped away the sweat for Princess Jin.
Luo Yanqing suddenly held the palace man's hand and asked uneasily:
"What is this sound? Did you hear it? Why are there gunfire in Kaifeng City?"
The palace lady looked very embarrassed. After hesitating a few times, she thought of a reason and explained:
"It is Gao Jinglue and Bai Shijun who have returned to Kaifeng. This is the sound of a salute. It is the sound of a salute from the Supervisor and the King of Jin to welcome them."
Luo Yanqing was a little suspicious: "Gao Yigong, Bai Wang? They have also arrived in Kaifeng? That's it."
Luo Yanqing took the silk handkerchief and wiped away the sweat. She smiled tiredly and asked the palace guests to go and rest.
But the palace attendants said with some concern: "The princess is about to give birth... we dare not leave."
Luo Yanqing frowned. Just when she was about to retort, she suddenly felt a sharp cramp in her abdomen. The pain even exceeded the pain of being pierced by an enemy's sword on the battlefield. It was a kind of pain that exceeded the limit of nerves.
Intense pain that can no longer be overcome by willpower.
When the palace people saw Princess Jin suddenly showing such a terrifying expression, and seeing her covering her belly and completely falling on the bed, they immediately realized that something was wrong...
"Princess Jin...has given birth!"
All the gates of Kaifeng City were tightly controlled by the defenders at this time. The public security in the city was better than before. Before going to the Jin Palace to attend the wedding, Dang Shousu first visited the North Gate and inspected it. He sent the soldiers
After receiving a batch of rewards from Zhang Nai, he ordered everyone to strictly guard and pay close attention to the movement in the direction of the Yellow River in the north.
Wu Ruyi then asked: "Old Party, are you worried that some of the defenders on the Hebei front line will be transferred back?"
Dang Shousu looked directly into Wu Ruyi's eyes and asked: "In your mind, what kind of person is Jian Guo?"
Wu Ruyi was immediately confused by Dang Shousu's question. He reluctantly replied: "Jian Guo is a good person... but Jian Guo's injury is so serious. What if Jian Guo suddenly dies of illness? We have to take precautions early."
September is approaching autumn. The north wind blows across the Yellow River and blows over the city walls of Kaifeng. Dang Shousu's whole body is stirred up by the autumn wind with a chill.
Dang Shousu crossed his arms and said coldly: "We have all changed. I really miss the days in Shangluo Mountain. The happiest time in my life was the time when we were in the mountains. At that time, our
The situation was so bad, but we were still winning battles, with the weak defeating the strong, and the few defeating the many... I really miss that time."
"Old party, I also miss those days. At that time, the old boss was still there. Although the brothers had a hard life, they felt very happy! ... But that is the past. We have conquered a large territory, so there is no need.
I can’t go back and live such a miserable life again.”
Dang Shousu nodded, feeling extremely disappointed with Wu Ruyi's answer. But he also knew that this might be the answer Zhang Nai already had in his mind, but he just didn't say it to himself.
"Old Zhang Pan left too early... Alas!"
Dangdangdang——
The defenders under the city gate cheered up and drew their swords from their scabbards. Hundreds of capable soldiers, led by the pro-combatants from Pingyang Palace, had already formed a team.
Dang Shousu finally asked: "Tian Gong, Niu Xiang and Shuangxi have all gone to the Jin Palace. Can Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun control the other city gates?"
"Don't worry, the garrison in Kaifeng City is almost all our troops, and there is absolutely no flaw in the matter. Prime Minister Niu controls the post stations all over Henan. If Li Laiheng really wanted to send troops back, we would have done so a few days ago.
You will notice movement."
Dang Shousu took a deep breath. The autumn air was crisp and the sky was clear. A fallen leaf was broken by the wind and slowly fell on Dang Shousu's finger.
Autumn clothes.
He looked at the soldiers lined up under the city wall, and finally heard the salute of the wedding ceremony of Prince Jin's Mansion in his ears, and said to himself:
"It's already started..."
Wu Ruyi tied a white cloth strip to his arm with a swipe, and shouted loudly: "Die for Mr. Tian! Die for Marquis Yi!"
The soldiers under the city wall also tied white strips of cloth to their arms. Their swords and swords flickered, and their murderous intent became even more intense.
Dang Shousu also slowly tied the white cloth belt to his arm. While he was tying it, he started to tremble - was Dashun really on the right path?
Who is right?
"Yihou becomes the emperor!"
Wu Ruyi drew out his sword and shouted loudly. The soldiers guarding the city also raised their weapons high and echoed him:
"Yihou becomes the emperor!"
Dang Shou covered his forehead with his hands when he suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness.
