Chapter 96 Foresight
It was already evening, and Emperor Chai Rong transferred the cavalry entourage in the inner palace and prepared to return to Chenzhou first.
The siege that had lasted for a whole day gradually eased, and the Zhou army retreated towards the fortifications on the periphery like a tide. Occasionally, a fireball flew through the air, drawing out the shiny fire tail like a meteor.
Chai Rong and others gradually moved away from Shouzhou City, and the noise of the crowds gradually drifted away. After the sun set, the night gradually opened. He looked back at the direction of Shouzhou City again. The black shadowed city tower stood in the sky, like a scar in the sky... and like a heartache in the emperor's heart.
The emperor's eyes finally left Shouzhou City. He turned his head and sighed. The stars on his head had already come out, and the Milky Way covered the entire vast sky... The vast and endless. In an instant, Chai Rong was suddenly shocked by the scene. He subconsciously stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the miracle of the god.
People in the mortal world, even the highest emperor, cannot control the heaven; but all things on the earth should be controlled by the kings of the human world! Chai Rong felt that a certain place above his head was the Jianghuai Plain, and the brightest stars were Shou, Hao, Si, Chu, Chu, and Dongdu... Chai Rong was a little lost for a moment, and his fingers gently stroked Shouzhou, Qingliuguan, Chuzhou, and Dongdu... The Yangtze River.
He wants to control all this, and he wants it all in his dreams! In the haze, golden swords and iron horses broke through the air, and fierce generals and elite soldiers rushed and roared in the sky like clouds. A group of horses rushing to flatten Shouzhou, broke through Qingliu Pass and entered Chuzhou, defeated Jiangdu Prefecture, and drank the Yangtze River... The mountains and rivers were broken, and the power surged between the Jianghuai River, and thousands of troops swept across to cleanse all those who did not obey the power of the king.
Chai Rong wanted to surpass all emperors from ancient times to the present, not only to complete the great cause of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's general unification, but also to allow the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment, and to govern without closing their doors at night and not picking up the remains. He should combine the advantages of Emperor Shi Huang and Emperor Taizong of Tang. Chinese people who have been in the past thousands of generations will spread his reputation every year and be grateful for the grace and glory he brought! In the whole world where he belongs to him, he only needs one sentence to change, create, and destroy. He is the king here, and the world is his territory!
Chai Rong could not wait, closed his eyes, and was eager to tell him that Huainan was already in a civil service as soon as he opened his eyes.
Chai Rong thought about it and felt that it was nothing wrong. At this time, he made a decision that Shouzhou could not conquer, but could not block the rapid implementation of the strategy!
"Wang Shenqi." Chai Rong held the horse.
A general in front quickly turned around and got off his horse and knelt on one knee: "I'm here!"
"Bi." Chai Rong stretched out his hand, and the eunuch next to him hurriedly found a used brush, and licked it on his tongue and put it in Chai Rong's palm. Chai Rong asked Wang Shenqi to stretch out his left hand, and wrote the word "Chu" on the back of his hand, saying, "You don't have to go to Chenzhou, hurry to rush to Wokou, order Zhao Kuangyin to receive the order, and immediately lead the Iron Cavalry to attack Qingliu Pass and eliminate the enemies outside Chuzhou."
"I, please accept the order!" Wang Shenqi carefully withdrew his hand and shouted loudly.
Chai Rong continued to travel overnight. He planned to return to the front line as soon as possible after visiting the queen in Chenzhou.
No one can stop the big things in his heart! His first wife died, his son died, his daughter died, all died tragically, and the whole family died, but none of this could make Chai Rong fall into sorrow, and he could not give up his ambition in depression.
He felt that he was good enough to the queen. She wanted to come by herself, but she fell ill when she arrived in Chenzhou. Who could blame him? Now it was a critical moment in the front line. Even at this time, he rushed to see her overnight... I hope the queen could understand the emperor's favor to her and what she did for her, and could return to Tokyo with peace of mind and live in the palace with dignity and dignity.
Chai Rong still felt a little sad, but then he thought: She almost lost her life in Li Shouzhen's mansion, and now she died as a queen, and has the highest honor, and she doesn't have much regret in her life.
The entire army guarded the emperor, and everyone rode their horses to the road, but they didn't dare to run too fast at night, so they slowly marched towards Chenzhou. It was not until the next morning that everyone arrived in Chenzhou.
Chai Rong didn't bother to rest, so he knelt in at the governor himself, washed his face, and rushed to the requisitioned mansion to meet Fu. The imperial doctor on duty inside and outside the yard, the palace servants had heard that the emperor had arrived, and knelt in long rows at the door to greet him.
"Flat." Chai Rong was still wearing armor. He waved his hand and ignored these people and stopped talking to the imperial doctor.
Chai Rong walked straight into the bedroom, and the palace maids knelt down and said in unison: "The emperor has no boundaries." A moment later, a middle-aged palace woman said softly: "Empress, the emperor is rushing back from Huainan to see you."
"Yeah." Unexpectedly, Fu could still hear and respond. It seemed that it was not as good as the eunuch said, "Only one breath is left"; but when Chai Rong stepped forward to look, he felt that it was almost the same. Fu's face had already lost weight, her skin was dull, and she was bloodless, and she did not have much time to go.
Chai Rong waved his hand: "Get back."
The middle-aged palace woman hurriedly took a group of palace maids to serve and immediately left the bedroom.
...
"Official family." Fu finally stretched out his hand from the quilt, and suddenly felt held by a pair of rough hands. These hands felt so strange. Why have you known him for several years still so strange? But her heart immediately became warm and her emotions were slightly excited, "I..."
Chai Rong put his head close to her face and said kindly: "What do you have to say to me? Take your time."
Fu said, "I... don't want to die, the official will save me."
Chai Rong frowned slightly and said, "Queen, what are your wishes and explanations? Tell me that I will do my best for me."
Fu opened her eyes slightly and stared at it blankly, her eyes were dull and she spoke weakly, her voice as small as a mosquito flapping its wings: "I don't have...what wish, I just...I don't want to die..."
Chai Rong advised: "Look out a little bit."
Fu whispered: "You are not the one who dies. Of course you can see it openly, I can't..."
After hearing this, Chai Rong was a little angry. Human beings say that people are about to die, but they are good at saying that, how could she curse me to die? He held back that it was not something that he should do when he was almost dead at this time.
He no longer asked Fu's wishes, and felt that she was already confused, so he made a decision and said, "You should be at ease, the Fu family will not have any impact. My favor to the Taifu (Fu Yanqing) will not diminish. I discussed with the court officials and planned to continue marrying your sister, Taifu and his brother in charge of the soldiers, so my son will be trusted as always."
Originally, Chai Rong was out of kindness. In this era, the interests of the family were above everything else. He told Fu this in person to reassure her that even if she was gone, everything that the Fu family had will be as risky as ever.
But when Fu heard this, she felt even more sad and said angrily: "It turns out that you really planned to marry my sister long ago..."
Chai Rong said: "Don't you want me to do this?"
Fu's eyes were dry, otherwise she would be sad and shed tears. "I'm so scared, it's so dark in front... I'm only twenty-five years old, why did I die? What's my sin?"
Chai Rong said: "Where is the queen guilty? If it is guilty, I will forgive you."
Fu shook her head and sighed faintly. In the past, Li Shouzhen's whole family was dead, but she lived alone. Fu Yanqing said that she was guilty and should become a monk and practice, and redeem her sins. But Fu has never had any mistakes, but God didn't think so. Do you have to let her die before she could be satisfied? She was very dissatisfied and unwilling to accept that life was so good, and she had everything... There are still many things in life that I haven't enjoyed enough and had no fun.
She murmured intermittently, "Official family, have you never cared about me... They are following the will of the Emperor..."
Chai Rong was silent. After a while, he suddenly remembered the situation of his most respected adoptive father when he died, and said thoughtfully: "When the late emperor passed away, he told me that the queen was here, so that he could protect the Great Zhou in the future... But the performance of Fu Taifu in Jinyang made me a little disappointed. Fu Taifu is already old... Or maybe, the late emperor has more profound considerations?"
Fu suddenly felt like a chess piece. Although she was not energetic, she could easily think: If the official died before her, would Zhou Taizu be considering this?
Chai Rong said again: "But now that things have come to this point, I can only marry the second daughter of the Fu family as the queen, so I have no choice but to continue to respect the last wish of the emperor."
Fu whispered: "I am me, my sister is my sister..."
Chai Rong seemed very unhappy after hearing this. He couldn't help but say, "Your sister should be more suitable for the queen than you. Just go with peace of mind, I will bury you with great pleasure."
Fu Shi said with slightest voice: "Didn't the minister say... not to mourn?"
Chai Rong was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly: "It must be that official who talks too much!"
In Fu's dry eyes, a tear soaked out of his eyes, slipped from the corners of his eyes, flowed along his cheeks and disappeared, leaving no trace.
Chai Rong said again: "This country wants a monarch and a queen. You are from a great family, and I think you understand this principle. Do I treat you as a wife? It is not important to compare with such a big thing. I am not the lustful and foolish monarch of the Lu Long and Liu family. I will not give him a reputation in order to pamper a woman. If you don't have any wishes, I'm leaving."
Fu stopped talking and ignored her, and her heart was cold.
Perhaps, after some age, this country will be prosperous and peaceful, and people will sing and dance to enjoy the joy of the prosperous era. Kings and famous ministers will be respected by people and leave their names in history... What a beautiful prospect. But what does this have to do with themselves? And the Huainan War that the officials are anxiously thinking about, what does the victory or defeat have to do with themselves?
Where will a person go when he dies? Will there be a sulcus underworld? Or will he know nothing when he closes his eyes?
