Flowing Years

Chapter 56

The person in his arms was scorching hot, and Qi Lie quickly put him down again.Call someone to come in and change the water again.

Qilie put a wet cotton kerchief over his veins, and looked at Bai Zezhi who seemed to be in pain.Father dying in front of him is so painful?Qilie recalled the scene where his father choked in front of him. It's hard to say anything else, but there was absolutely no pain.How could it be painful, I have been waiting for this moment, and the moment I waited for was nothing but relief.With his father alive, he can only restrain all his sharpness and only show off his talents that are just right.He will never forget the firmness in the mother's eyes when she sent her younger brother out of the palace.And he will never forget the loneliness of his mother and concubine bleeding from all seven orifices in front of him.I will never forget that after learning about the death of the mother and concubine, the father didn't even take a look at it, so he was restrained.He will never have a trace of family affection for his father, only a seemingly incongruous dealing with each other.

Qilie dried up the cotton kerchief, replaced the slightly hot cotton kerchief on Bai Zezhi's forehead, and sighed softly: "Those made you so hard to let go?" Qilie couldn't understand such feelings, he just felt that it was gone If there is no way to live, it will definitely not be sad like this.

"I," Qi Lie thought for a while, took Bai Zezhi's hand, and said, "May I be a high-ranking official with a rich salary, and I will be favored for the rest of my life?" After the words "favored and trusted" came out, Qi Lie realized what he had promised.In front of him is the general of the enemy country, and this "favor" is easily unacceptable.If his heart is toward the motherland, the word "favor" is a sharp knife buried in himself.But now, he promised to export without thinking, without any hesitation in his heart.

Qilie looked at Bai Zezhi who was frowning slightly, and felt that his hand was very hot in his hand, so he let go, and stirred a cotton pad to wipe it for him.Since you have promised these words, it must mean that you are completely cut off from Yuxia.Qilie raised his eyes to look at Bai Zezhi, and stretched out his hand to caress his brow: "This King of Xia is worthy of you?" In Qilie's view, Lan Hewen can't become a martial artist, that is, relying on the prestige of the former emperor and the strength of his brothers and courtiers. With support, there is such a scene.After a few provocations, he believed it, and beheaded the counselor Luo Yunhai.Now the general Bai Yunhan is gone, and even more so is his pillar.Next, this building will collapse.Such a monarch, what is it worth the Bai family to work so hard for?

Qilie suddenly remembered the praise of the monarch among the people, "the beauty of the king is second to none in the world".beautiful?I don't feel it, it doesn't look like an eyesore.His cold eyes fell on Bai Zezhi's face, he looked at it for a long time and thought, "A handsome man should be like this, with a heroic posture, and with a swing of a big knife, no one within a hundred miles can match him!"Can Lan He have such a demeanor?Everyone in the world is dull and only sees the skin.By the way, it is foolish loyalty.The people were bewildered by Lan He's skin, and they supported this foolish king.And the two generals of the Bai family were also foolish and loyal.Then without the country, without the monarch, naturally there will be no more foolish loyalty!After Qi Lie figured it out, the corners of his mouth on his indifferent face finally rose slightly.

"No home, no country, from now on there is only me." Qi Lie looked at Bai Zezhi and said.

Qilie didn't leave the hospital even one step away, and took care of Bai Zezhi who was comatose and had a high fever, and didn't pay attention to the battle between Luo Na and Yuxia at all.At this time, the Yunxia court has been discussing this war for days.Several important ministers did not leave the palace for a few days, and they followed the king to discuss matters when they went down to court.

"What can be found behind Luo Na?" Lan He asked.

"Returning to the emperor, the royal family of Luo Na did collude with others, but they haven't found out the details of those people." Doctor Yushi said.

After hearing the words, Lan He took a sip of tea and lowered his eyebrows in thought.

"Sure enough! Luo Na and our country have been friends for more than [-] years, and this action must be provoked by someone." General Wei said angrily.

"The present is different from the past, and the wars are not all provoked by others." Rui Wang Lanye said leisurely, "Different from the old King Luo, the King of Xinluo is very happy, but not resourceful."

"Who will provoke the war?" Minister of the Ministry of War pondered.

"There are only a few." Prince Rui said, "Baibai is active in the former country in this world, the mighty Mosang, the vast Luo Na, and the shrewd Ruomi." The last one that Prince Rui didn't mention was Fu Shuo of the building.Everyone knows that there are only four countries that have the power to compete for the world, and the rest are small countries.

"Ruomi instigated it?" Minister of the Ministry of War had already forgotten Mosang in his mind, after all, Mosang had just been defeated by Yu Xia.

"Ruomi Kingdom will have the energy to go to war at this time?" Doctor Yushi was surprised, "The princes are fighting for the throne, and the Ruomi court is in chaos at this time."

"It's not impossible," Prince Rui laughed, "It might even become a bargaining chip for the position."

"What happened to King Mosang and King Ning'an in the past few days?" Lan He asked.

"Returning to the emperor, except for the banquets invited by my court, I have always been in the other hall." Doctor Yu Shi replied.

Everyone was silent for a while.

"Your Majesty, send some individuals from the annex." Prince Rui said, "Compared to Ruomi, Mosang is more to be feared."

Lan He nodded in understanding.Naturally, this manpower is not an ordinary soldier, but a hidden guard.

"Do General Lan and General Bai have any clues?" Lan He frowned slightly.

Everyone looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed.

Lan He sighed inwardly, leaning slightly towards the window rail.The warm sunshine outside the window, through the thin window paper, is printed on the ground, frame by frame is bright.Lan He felt a little bleak.He had already lost two of the most important reliances in Yuxia, Prime Minister Luo and General Bai, and now, there was no news of the two generals again, which made Lan He feel like he had never been left alone.Even the time when Chu Lian rejected her and chose Bai Yunhan more than ten years ago, she had never been disappointed.

Lan He thought for a while, and asked the Minister of the Ministry of War, "How about the recruitment?"

"Returning to the emperor, as of yesterday, another 12 soldiers have been recruited, and eight generals have been promoted to go to Bogu." The Secretary of the Ministry of War said, "It is reported that Luo Na has recruited [-] serfs as soldiers, and they will enter the camp soon."

"Is the food and grass arranged properly?" Lan He nodded and asked.

"The grain at Qinshuiguan has arrived at Bogu, and the grain and grass shipped from Kyoto will arrive at Bogu in two days." Hubu Shangshu said.

"How much food is stored in Beijing?" Lan He asked.

"Back to the emperor, it is still available until April." The Minister of the Household Department estimated.

"Call the money to the border countries to buy 30 shi of grain for storage." Lan He thought for a while and said.

"Follow the order," said the Secretary of the Household Department.

"From now on, the expenditure in the palace will be reduced by half again, and extravagant food should be avoided." Lan He said.

"The emperor's dragon body is precious, think twice!" Several courtiers immediately knelt down.

"Under the law of extravagance, Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body!" said the courtier.

"Your servant is like this. Since the king should be the first case, there is no need to discuss this matter again." Lan He signaled his servant to stand up.

"Your Majesty is wise!" All the courtiers had mixed feelings.

The eunuch called the door and brought in a stack of new newspapers, which were news collected from various places.Lan He looked at it and sent it to all the ministers.The courtiers watched and whispered a few words to each other.

Lan He walked to the window silently.The war is intensifying, and good generals are hard to find.Lan He's back turned cold, only to realize that since Prime Minister Luo's "conspiracy for rebellion", he has fallen into a situation. He lost his counselor, lost his general, and sparked the flames of war. It was a situation where he cut his own wings.If it weren't for the presence of witnesses and material evidence, if it wasn't for Luo Yunhai's silence when he saw the evidence, Lan He wouldn't be so angry.The prime minister he relied heavily on, the prime minister who implemented the New Deal, faced witnesses and physical evidence, but he didn't say a word.That scene made me extremely disappointed.The important minister who supported the stubborn minister with all his strength, actually conspired against him. At that moment, he was about to slap himself in front of all the ministers.Thinking about it now, I'm afraid that Luo Yunhai's moment was not the silence of pleading guilty, but the silence that could not be justified.

Lan He raised his head slightly, his eyes were a little sore.After closing his eyes for a while, the confusion in Lan He's eyes was gone when he opened them.At this time, King Mosang was banned in the capital, and Prince Ruomi was trying to seize the throne. I am afraid that he was superstitious, because the general was captured and the good general disappeared, so he panicked.This Luo Na has a wider area, and it is not as good as our Yunxia in terms of financial resources, Ruo Mi in terms of resourcefulness, and Mo Sang in terms of combat.And now Mosang and Ruomiying are overwhelmed, and they should not be the brains behind Luo Na. Even if Luo Na is rampant for a while, it may be a small country offering advice, which will not last long.Lan He felt a little more relaxed, and when he looked back, he was still the calm and gentle emperor.

"Open the national treasury and get the stored grain." Lan He said.

The hall fell silent, and all the courtiers looked at the emperor.The food in this treasury will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.The grain in this treasury is replaced with new ones every year to prevent natural and man-made disasters.The people of Yanxia are richer than the people of other countries, and there will be food in every place.Generally, what is used in wars is a part of grain and grass allocated in Kyoto, and part of the grain and grass in the surrounding areas of the war are collected.The current situation is that the grain stored in various places is bought inexplicably, and opening the national treasury to store grain is also a way to stabilize people's hearts.

"I don't believe that I can't beat a Luo Na who is incompetent in civil and martial arts." Lan He's eyes were clear.

"Your Majesty is holy!" All the courtiers knelt down with impassioned faces.
