Baili Mingyu walked back and forth in Longyin Hall, looking anxious and restless. Gao Yida stood at the door and glanced at him secretly. He was thinking about whether he should retire early, and his life was not easy now.
Time passed by like this bit by bit, and finally when he could hardly bear to deliver the goods, someone knocked on the door outside.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent letter outside."
"Gao Yida, let him in quickly." Baili Mingyu stood there a little excited, and the sudden loud voice frightened Gao Yida.
"Yes, yes." Gao Yida turned around out of habit and suddenly hit the door. He took a breath of pain and quickly opened the door to welcome the people outside.
Baili Mingyu glanced at him with disgust and said, "I think you are too old to even be able to handle this little thing! Get off!"
"Yes." After Gao Yida said this tremblingly, he wanted to burst into tears. He didn't comfort him but still disliked him so much. It really hurt his heart.
Just when he was sad, a young eunuch came by and bumped into him. Just when he was about to curse, he saw a money bag on the ground and closed his mouth.
What Gao Yida didn't know was that when he saw the money bag, he would no longer be able to make the decision.
"Back to the Emperor, Li Guo has received our letter and has given a reply. Please take a look at it."
Baili Mingyu wanted to break through, so he came up with the trick of making peace. He could only show weakness and ask for peace first to give himself enough time to recharge his batteries.
When he opened the envelope with great anticipation, the smile on his face instantly froze, and both hands holding the reply began to tremble.
That's too much! It's too much of a lie! He didn't even take him into consideration. Baili Mingyu stared at the words in the reply so hard that he wanted to spit out fire.
No need? Okay, okay! No need, right! Even showing goodwill is useless. Are they planning to annex them directly without any reason to send troops?
But Qi Gui Qi, Wu Le, who was currently suffering from internal and external troubles, had no confidence to confront them head-on. For a moment, Baili Mingyu felt like he couldn't breathe in his chest.
Mo Yitian had already thought about his expression, so he could just join forces with Nalan Lingyu and the others deployed in the south of the Yangtze River to attack directly without looking for a reason. However, not all the cannons have been built yet.
After a while.
"Why didn't you tell me when Baili Mingyu sent a letter? It's really cool. He actually lowered his head and admitted his mistake."
I know I have to bow my head.
"It's better not to tell you these terrible things. Now that my husband is back, he will always support you." Nalan Lingyu was afraid that he would be sad thinking about the original things, so she never told him.
Until now, Xia Qingxin still didn't know that An Er was actually gone a long time ago. He felt that not telling her was a way of protecting her.
"I want to bear it with you. Besides, maybe I can help you." Xia Qingxin felt that some things need to be borne by two people.
"Forget it, then you can come together to discuss things later." Nalan Lingyu would never go against her will, as if all tolerance was just for one person.
Then a scene appeared in the study room.
"So you just replied to Baili Mingyu that your country does not need to use marriage to maintain a balanced relationship between countries? You are too talented, hahahaha, it made me laugh to death."
Wouldn't it make Baili Mingyu angry to death if he didn't give him face like this? This kind of person just doesn't need to give him face, otherwise he really doesn't know how many eyes Lord Ma has.
Mo Yitian and Nalan Lingyu both looked at Xia Qingxin, who was laughing wildly, with great fondness. They didn't want to reply to him like this in the first place. It was because of her displeasure that they came up with such a method.
"It seems that we did a good job in this matter!" Mo Yitian said to Nalan Lingyu, but it was more like comforting himself. This matter made her happy, it was indeed good.
"So what are you going to do now?" Xia Qingxin stopped smiling and asked seriously. She was now concerned about when Baili Mingyu could be tortured to death.
He had lived too long and had not settled several accounts with him. It was too cheap to let him go like this. She could hardly wait to see the end he had brought upon himself.
Just yesterday he dreamed of Luli. Luli said that she was living a good life now and should not let her worry about him. But only she knew how Luli could live a good life. She was so miserable when she died.
Looking at Xia Qingxin who suddenly fell into silence, Nalan Lingyu felt a little distressed. He gently hugged Xia Qingxin into his arms and said softly: "Did Qingqing think of something unhappy again?"
"No, I just hope that Baili Mingyu dies quickly. All the hunger incidents happened because of the royal family of Baili. It's time for all this to come to an end."
She hid in his arms and her voice was muffled. She always had the illusion that some things were about to end, and this feeling was getting stronger and stronger.
Mo Yitian and Nalan Lingyu looked at each other and saw through each other's thoughts. Since he was so impatient, they would not wait any longer.
Just as Baili Mingyu was about to think of other ways to confront Li Guo, the war in the south once again ignited, and the rebels broke through the siege with lightning speed.
On the other hand, the Li Kingdom announced to the world that the Wu Le Kingdom sent people to their country to steal something extremely important to the Li Kingdom Crown Prince and has not returned it. In anger, he launched an attack with troops. The Wu Le Kingdom is now besieged on all sides.
Wu Le's veterans who had been disarmed and returned to their fields couldn't help but come out one after another to help Baili Mingyu tide over the difficulties. The country has finally reached a moment of life and death.
Baili Mingyu issued an announcement in order to boost morale, saying that Li Guo relied on the country's wealth and wanted to annex Wu Le before issuing such an announcement. For a while, the world was talking about it, and it was not known who told the lie.
The civil and military ministers of the Wuleman Dynasty began to feel panicked. To annex them by a country as powerful as Liguo would be like squeezing an ant to death. Coupled with the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River, these are forces that cannot be underestimated.
Sure enough, even if all the veterans came out, their army would march straight into Wule's territory and now point directly at Kyoto.
The joyless hall.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that you sue for peace now. First, keep the royal bloodline of Baili lineage before you have a chance to make a comeback."
"Yuan, what you said is wrong. How is it possible for us to bow to them? Shi Ke cannot be killed! I think you are getting more confused as you get older!"
Yuan Ying had just put forward his idea and was rejected. He was so angry that he stared at Duo Pang.
Baili Mingyu had a headache due to the quarrel below and said impatiently: "Shut up, all of you! I think what Yuan Aiqing said makes some sense given the current situation. Let me think about it carefully!"
Baili Mingyu never thought that Li Guo would openly join forces with the Jiangnan rebels to attack them, and for a time he fell into an unprecedented predicament.
But it is simply not possible to let him fight to the end. The result of the fight to the end is that he will not be able to survive. Now he is trying every means to stay alive so that he can keep the green hills without having to worry about having no firewood.
"Gao Yida, prepare some pen and ink for me. I want you to write a letter and send it to the enemy camp in person." Baili Mingyu was determined to ask for peace. He sincerely expressed his willingness to dedicate his country to Li Guo's back cover. In this way, he
He can still be the king.
Gao Yida was a little amused when he saw him writing furiously. How could this aloof king be as downtrodden as he is now? He was still far from the former emperor Baili Ting. Now this is the inevitable result.
Just when Baili Mingyu was relieved, there was finally an explosion outside. People were spreading rumors that Baili Mingyu had betrayed the country and sought glory, regardless of the life and death of the people, and the government and the public were in an uproar.
"Your Majesty, this is a notice posted outside. Please take a look at it." Overnight, Kyoto was filled with notices like this, with their large jade seal of Wu Le printed on them.
"What's going on! Li Guo is too despicable! You dare to copy our jade seal!" Baili Mingyu looked at the handwriting on the notice, crumpled it into a ball and threw it down.
"What I asked Gao Yida to send was not like this at all. How could it be like this! Gao Yida, did you say you personally delivered what I wrote?"
He was answered with silence for a while, and soon a trembling voice replied: "Back to the Emperor, Eunuch Gao asked for sick leave yesterday, and I will take his place today."
At this moment, Baili Mingyu suddenly discovered that Gao Yida had not appeared since he left yesterday, and a bad premonition suddenly came to his mind.
"Retreat! We have something to discuss tomorrow!" Regardless of how ugly his posture was, he stood up from the dragon throne and ran towards the Dragon Song Hall.
"Jade Seal! Why is my Jade Seal missing? Tell me! Did you steal my Jade Seal?" Baili Mingyu opened the box on his dragon case and looked at the empty cushion. He collapsed and pinched the little eunuch who followed him.
.
The little eunuch was so frightened that his whole body was trembling. He finally found his voice and said, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am wronged. Normally, I can't even enter the Dragon Song Palace. How could I steal the Emperor's Jade Seal?"
Baili Mingyu threw the little eunuch out and overturned the box on the table. At this time, he was like a devil crawling out of hell.
"It must be Gao Yida! It must be this cheap slave! He dares to betray me! I will definitely cut him into pieces!"
The little eunuch who was thrown to the door ran out of the hall screaming when he saw such a terrifying Baili Mingyu. As he ran, he shouted: "The emperor is crazy! The emperor is crazy!"
Baili Mingyu was really stimulated by this incident. Even his closest old eunuch would betray him. This was the most intolerable thing for him.
That day, the sky in the imperial palace seemed to be dyed red with blood, and people were so frightened that everyone hid in their rooms and did not dare to come out, for fear of meeting the mad emperor. Wherever Baili Mingyu went, rivers of blood flowed, and the sound of wailing could not be heard.
.
Finally, the original tranquility was restored at sunset. Baili Mingyu looked at the people who fell beside him one by one, looked at the sky, and laughed wildly.
"I want all of you to be buried with me!" (To be continued)
