547 Capture the thief first and capture the king first(2/2)
"Yes!" The deputy general who had been waiting outside the tent listened to the order.
Because Emperor Luo was injured, the Luo army quickly withdrew from Jiuligou and returned to Luo Kingdom three days later.
At the same time, after receiving the news of the victory, Chu Huan's army became more and more courageous as they fought, and finally achieved their first victory in several months. They later joined Li Huang's army and finally forced Rao's army to Kunlun City again.
After the great victory in the Jiuligou battle, the Luo army retreated, and the battle in Kunlun City was stable, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. After this battle, the story of Chu Yiqing flying to shoot Emperor Luo with an arrow was also talked about.
Happy Tao.
In the palace, Yang Xin, Yu Hanlin and others petitioned the emperor to commend Li Huang for his military exploits. However, the conservative faction started to argue with Yang Xin and others because of Chu Yiqing's identity, and the two sides couldn't argue.
"That's enough!" Li Li shouted coldly, "This is the end of the discussion today, let's withdraw from the court!"
"Your Majesty!" Yang Xin stepped forward and said loudly, "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity to recruit the Shura Kingdom Judges. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, those remnants of the Shura Kingdom are traitors and must not be tolerated. Your Majesty, please think again!" The conservatives also shouted loudly and knelt on the ground.
Li Li's eyes darkened, and he coldly rolled up his sleeves and left.
In the harem, the Queen Mother was also having trouble sleeping and eating. When she saw the emperor going to court, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Emperor, the matter between Huang'er and the princess of Shura Kingdom..."
"The Queen Mother also knows?" Li Li's eyes darkened and he said, "I am worried about this matter!"
The Queen Mother sat down with him and sighed: "Now everyone in the court is talking about Huang'er and Chu Yiqing's military exploits. At this time, if you insist on labeling the Shura Kingdom as a traitor, I'm afraid you will attract
People's resentment! What's more, now, Rao Jun has not withdrawn from Li State and may come back at any time!"
"Mother, I am worried about this matter. Rao Jun is a strong enemy. If the remnants of the Shura Kingdom take the opportunity to rebel again..." Li Li's eyes darkened.
"In this case, why not agree to Huang'er? Chu Yiqing is already married to Huang'er. As long as she is willing to bring people to the court, won't this be solved without any effort?" The Queen Mother said.
He also advised.
"Mother, I also want this, but those remnants of the Shura Kingdom want Chu Yiqing's child Chu Yi to succeed to the throne. This..." Li Li's eyes darkened, "Although I also like that child, after all, he still has
With half the blood of Shura Kingdom, if he inherits the throne..."
"I'm afraid this is also the reason why the remnants of the Shura Kingdom are willing to surrender!" The Queen Mother sighed, "Otherwise, after they had hidden themselves for fifty years and recuperated their strength, how could they have been willing to give up the plan to restore the country so easily? It must be that child Chu Yiqing,
A lot of work has been done behind the scenes!”
"Mother, why did you suddenly speak for Chu Yiqing?" Li Li was startled.
"At the beginning, I wanted Ruimin to marry Huang'er. How could other women take notice? Now Ruimin and Huang'er are no longer possible. Since Huang'er can give up the throne for Chu Yiqing, hasn't the emperor ever thought about why?
"Huang'er is different from you. Maybe it's because he lacked warmth since he was a child, so he cherishes his feelings more than the throne!" The Queen Mother said softly, "Now that I think about it carefully, our royal family is the one who is sorry for Chu Yiqing. I think back then, Chu
Yiqing walked away from Chu Han alone with a child. What kind of place was Chu Han? It was a place of exile for prisoners, let alone a woman with a young child. That was an adult man. It was enough for him to survive in Chu Han! You
Look clearly, from being an exiled prisoner to now, he has relied on his own ability every step of the way. If Huang'er has such a woman to assist him, it will be a blessing for our Li country!"
Li Li sighed quietly, "Mother, I have never thought about what you said, but I just can't accept it. Huang'er was taught by me, and I have put so many expectations into him.
But in the end, he gave up my expectations for him and the people for a woman! In my heart..."
"The Queen Mother understands that in the Emperor's heart, rather than being unwilling, it should be said that he is envious. He is envious of Huang'er's true temperament and envies that Huang'er can give up everything for the sake of love. And these are exactly what you strongly desire in your heart!" The Queen Mother!
Said slowly.
Li Li's face turned pale, and these words of the Queen Mother really touched his heart.
"Son, you can't help yourself in the royal family, but Huang'er is an anomaly. If you don't want to lose this son, you must let go of your unwillingness!" The Queen Mother sighed faintly.
Li Xin fell silent.
At night, Li Huang called Tenglong into the camp. After carefully asking what he was talking about, he suddenly announced on the second day that he and Chu Yiqing would leave Jiuligou and return to Chu Han.
"Your Highness, why is this?" Hu Tu was startled. Last night he and many lieutenants made many plans, intending to work with Chu Huan's army to drive Rao Guo's army out of Li Guo in one fell swoop. However, he did not expect that the next day, Li Huang
He announced that he was leaving.
"My father did not agree to my terms!" Li Huang smiled faintly, "What's more, General Hu has a cannon knife and a crossbow in his hands. Joining forces with Chu Huan, we should be able to drive out Rao's army soon!"
Hu Tu seemed to understand what Li Huang meant and sighed: "Although I understand His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's difficulties, I still hope that Your Highness the Crown Prince will put the world first. If Rao Jun is not driven out for a day, it is the people who will suffer!"
Li Huang whispered: "The common people are also my father's common people!"
Hu Tu could only sigh.
Chu Yiqing was really unexpected about Li Huang's sudden departure, but she also knew that Li Huang must have a reason for doing so. In addition, after being away for so many days, she really missed Abao at home, so she was ready to leave immediately.
Now that the Bai family army has been exposed, Li Huang took them away together and planned to place them in the four cities of Chu Han and Yanjing. In this way, even if Li Li really insisted on having his own way, these five cities would also be within the jurisdiction of him and Chu Yiqing.
, they are also happy to be a pair of happy gods.
As soon as the news that Li Huang was going to leave with Chu Yiqing with troops reached the palace, Li Li couldn't sit still. Although the Bai family's army was not large in number, he was not worried about letting them leave like this. If the Shura Kingdom rebels took control
The four cities of Yanjing and Chu Han will rule independently, which will naturally lead to endless troubles.
"I have really raised a good son!" Li Li whispered again.
"Your Majesty, if you dare to say something boldly, accepting the Crown Prince and Qing'er may be the final result!" Chu Zhantian said in a low voice.
Li Li remained silent and cold.
Two days later, Li Huang and Chu Yiqing left Jiuligou with five thousand Bai family troops and headed towards Chu Han.
When leaving Jiuligou, Li Huang stood on the mountain peak, looked at the capital city in the distance, and sighed quietly.
Chu Yiqing stood behind him and whispered: "Your father can't figure it out, and it's useless to persuade him!"
Li Huang nodded and asked, "What should your father do?"
"Chu Huan won another battle and achieved military exploits. I believe the emperor will not do anything to him for a while!" Chu Yiqing said calmly, "Besides, if I show up again, the emperor will be even more angry, right? There are many words on the net."
Li Huang nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will have someone take care of him in the palace!"
Chu Yiqing nodded, leaned gently on Li Huang's shoulder, and said softly: "I've seen a lot of blood these days, and I'm tired. I really want to take a good rest!"
Li Huang held her shoulders and said distressedly: "Then take a good rest!"
Chu Yiqing held his hand back and said softly, "Don't worry, your father is wise, he should see the situation clearly now, it's just that he can't pass his own level!"
Li Huang nodded and said, "I know, otherwise we wouldn't have left so smoothly!"
"Originally, I was thinking of letting Lady Ling Dang go to the capital to settle the marriage. Now that the war is in chaos, I'm afraid that the etiquette will not be fulfilled! There are also several cities in Kunlun. I don't know if they have conquered the land first as I told them.
Plant it!" Chu Yiqing couldn't help nagging.
Li Huang turned to look at her and saw that when she talked about these trivial matters, her eyes were bright and not as cold as the past few days. He knew in his heart that he had wronged her these past few days, so he immediately took her in his arms and hurried down the mountain.
, left Jiuligou without looking back.
In order to avoid Rao Jun, Li Huang and Chu Yiqing took another way back to Lucheng. It happened that Lady Lingdang had not dared to go on the road. When they saw Chu Yiqing coming back, they finally found their backbone and quickly reported the matter.
Chu Yiqing was busy making cakes for Hua Lin and Ling Dang. His hands were full of flour. Seeing how anxious Ling Dang was, Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "The war is in chaos now. If the Xu family is reasonable, they will definitely not do it."
Blame it, don’t worry, this war will be over soon!”
Lady Lingdang felt relieved now. Seeing that Chu Yiqing was busy and had flour on his face, she couldn't help scolding the two children and said: "The young lady just came back, and you pestered her to get something to eat. Why are you so greedy?"
Ling Ding, who was sitting in a wheelchair, lowered his head in embarrassment, and Hua Lin also stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.
"Don't blame them, it was me who suggested it. Find something to do to keep you occupied and stop thinking nonsense!" Chu Yiqing smiled, beat the eggs into the flour, stirred them, and said with a smile, "A Bao likes to eat this cake the most.
, but because it’s too sweet, I don’t allow him to eat more. If he knew that we secretly ate the cake, he would definitely complain again!”
Ling Dang and Hua Lin seemed to think of Abao's greedy look, and they all giggled, and their crisp laughter floated in the yard.
There were peach blossoms falling down. Chu Yiqing squinted her eyes and looked at the blue weather. She breathed a sigh of relief and slowly raised the corners of her lips. She still liked this kind of life. Only in this way did she feel that she was truly alive!
In the study, Li Huang was reading. Hearing the crisp laughter of the girls in the yard, he turned his eyes and looked out the window, watching the woman holding a wooden basin and concentrating on stirring the basin, with her beautiful little face.
It was covered in flour and he couldn't help laughing.
This trip to the capital, I thought it would go smoothly. At least if he were his father, he would definitely agree to their conditions. So when Tenglong reported the situation in the palace, he was filled with disappointment, and he was angry before talking to Chu.
Yiqing left in order to force his father to make a quick decision, but he did not expect that his father would be so stubborn and let them leave. But when he returned to Lucheng and looked at the smile on Chu Yiqing's face, he
Suddenly I felt that leaving the capital might be a wise choice.
He has come to like the peace and happiness here more and more, and he is really worried that he will not be willing to return to the capital by then.
"Sir, after we left, the emperor sent people to chase us, but because Rao Jun attacked again, the opportunity was delayed!" Tenglong stepped forward to report.
"Father, have you figured it out?" Li Huang asked with a faint raised eyebrow.
Tenglong shook his head and whispered: "According to the report from the spies arranged by Mr. Yang, the emperor is still hesitant. Mr. Yang has been debating with those conservatives for three days and three nights, but the emperor just listened and refused to make a decision!"
"My father has been proud all his life. When he is old, it is extremely difficult for him to succumb to nature!" Li Huang sighed faintly and asked, "Has the Bai family army been settled?"
Tenglong nodded: "They have returned to the four cities of Chuhan and Yanjing!"
"They should also be disappointed, right? There are many words on the net." Li Huang's eyebrows twitched slightly, "Well, it can be regarded as a lesson to Madam Bai and Bai Yu! Now, all the chips in their hands have been used up, so they have to obey Madam
It’s my command! But I still need some help from my father!”
Li Huang whispered something in Tenglong's ear, and Tenglong went to do it immediately.
