Princess [rebirth]

Dou Wan and Dou Zhirong were staggered by the push, although they didn't know what Huyanlu was planning, but the current situation did not allow them to hesitate, so as soon as Huyanlu finished speaking, Dou Wan quickly rushed into the forest with Dou Zhirong, Soon it disappeared.

Hu Yanlu led a group of subordinates to laugh outside, and several tall and burly men gathered around and laughed loudly. Dou Wan and Dou Zhirong heard the laughter coming from behind, and the faster their steps moved, the two The man ran with his head sullen, and managed to shake off the laughter.

Dou Wan was born and grew up in the palace, her physical strength was naturally inferior to that of Dou Zhirong who was running around with her elder brother, so her pace slowed down after a while.Dou Zhirong helped her to sit on a stone under a big tree beside her. Dou Wan was panting, and Dou Zhirong whispered beside her: "Hold on a little longer, we have worked hard for so long, we can't fall short."

"I hope Lang Wu and the others don't mess up, today is a rare opportunity." Dou Wan rested for a while before recovering, she pursed her lips and said softly.

"Don't worry, there is nothing to say about Lang Wu's skills. Today Hu Yanlu brought most of the people out again. They will definitely succeed." Dou Zhirong said comfortingly, but she was worried about the situation of the two of them in her heart. There is no problem there, but she and Dou Wan are in danger here, and it is not known whether she and Dou Wan can escape.

"I'm sorry for bringing you into this." Dou Wan suddenly apologized, and said to Dou Zhirong. Dou Zhirong was stunned, and replied calmly, "This is what I should do. Back then, the sage left me and A After my brother's life, my life belongs to the saint, now that the saint can use me, I should devote myself to doing things for the saint, I'm too happy, so there's nothing to do with it."

Dou Wan pursed her lips, sighed softly, shook Dou Zhirong's hand, and said firmly, "Don't worry, we will be safe after today." As soon as her words fell, a voice came from not far away. The sound of dead branches being trampled off made the two of them startled. They jumped up at the same time and were about to run away. A gentleman wearing the costume of the imperial army of the Great Zhou Dynasty jumped out from behind the tree and walked up to Dou Wan quickly. Come forward and say hello.

"My minister came late to rescue me, and I ask the princess to forgive me." Nalang Jun said respectfully.Dou Wan waved her hand, waiving his courtesy, and asked at the same time, "Is the plan going well?"

"Back to the princess, everything is going well. General He's children are already on their way back to the capital, and the letters and accounts of the collusion between the traitors and the officials of the court and China have also been obtained." Lang Jun replied respectfully.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Dou Wan said lightly, and then several gentlemen dressed as forbidden soldiers appeared, and they escorted Dou Wan and Dou Zhirong away.But Hu Yanlu and the others outside the forest didn't know that they planned to enjoy the fun of hunting, but they changed from hunters to prey at the moment. At this time, they were all ready to leave with their weapons ready because the incense burnt out. into the forest.

After Dou Wan and Dou Zhirong left, they headed for the capital, and after a few days, the two of them returned to the capital in a hurry, and were immediately taken into the palace by the empress.

Zhuo Jingfan met them in the Lizheng Hall, seeing the two young ladies in a mess, guilt and pity flashed in his heart, he expressed condolences to the two, and called the imperial physician to heal the two, and then returned Leave the two of them in the palace to recuperate.After the two of them settled down, Zhuo Jingfan came to Liangyi Hall with a heavy heart. Dou Chun saw that his face was not good, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

"I feel a little sorry for Wanniang and Rongniang. The imperial physician said that they suffered a lot, but fortunately they didn't suffer... Otherwise, how can I feel sorry for Fu Jue and Dou Xun?" Zhuo Jingfan said in a low voice.

"Don't blame yourself. This is what Wanniang and Rongniang did voluntarily. Without them as bait, Huyanlu, a big fish like Huyanlu, would not have been caught. We disagreed at the beginning, but Wanniang insisted and voluntarily acted as the bait. She has I am very pleased with this courage and insight, and I also arranged someone to be by her side, both of them suffered from skin trauma, and they will be fine after a few days of recuperation." Dou Chun took his hand and said carefully Said.

"We must not let Hu Yanlu go. I heard from Dou Wan that this person is a lunatic. He has sneaked into the Great Zhou for so long, and he must have a lot of plots. He might be a Mu Xuan." Zhuo Jingfan said about Huyan. Law, with sharp eyebrows and eyes.That day he became suspicious and asked Youfu to investigate the matter of Concubine Xian's entry into the palace, and found out that Taibao and Xu Chongzhi's handwriting was indispensable behind Concubine Xian's entry into the palace.

Then he checked Xu Chongzhi to the bottom, his native place was true, his hometown was also true, many people in his neighbors had met Xu Chongzhi, and his portraits were also true, but there was one thing that didn't match, That is the shape.

Just based on the portrait, everyone thinks that Hu Yanlu is Xu Chongzhi, but when it comes to describing it, the real Xu Chongzhi looks a little short, only nearly six feet tall, while Hu Yanlu is tall , nearly seven feet in height, compared with each other, even if they look the same, Hu Yanlu can't be Xu Chongzhi.

With this doubt, Zhuo Jingfan naturally insisted on "Xu Chongzhi" even more. Just at this time, the person who was investigating the Taibao sent back news that he had found the Taibao family near Zhangzhou, but Xu Chongzhi was nowhere to be found.And that subordinate was lurking beside Taibao's family, and got a name from Taibao's daughter Ru Niang - Huyanlu.

After having the name, the search became faster. At the same time, Dou Chun's people also found the trace of Huyanlu. When Dou Chun and Zhuo Jingfan knew that Huyanlu was going to Yuncheng, they expected his intention. .They wanted to send Dou Wan away before Hu Yanlu, but when Dou Wan heard about it, she expressed that she was willing to be the bait so that Dou Chun's people could get close to Huyanlv.

Hu Yanlu, like Mu Xuan, has been lurking in the Great Zhou for many years. At that time, Mu Xuan relied on the love of the late emperor to become the commander of the imperial army, while Hu Yanlu relied on the big tree of the Taibao to accumulate the difference from Mu Xuan. There are not many forces, but with the resignation of the Taibao, the power in Hu Yanlu's hands is a bit difficult to use, so he, who has always been quite forbearing and low-key, will take the risk and incite the barbarians to invade Dazhou.

In fact, it was all because of Hu Yan's rush.

Hu Yanlu spent a lot of time on the arrangement, the purpose is to get rid of Hu Guo and Da Zhou. Originally, he is getting closer and closer to the goal. As long as he is given a few more years, he can slowly lift Dou Chun away. On the throne, but it's not bad to be a regent who holds great power.

It's just that the Taibao's appointment caught him by surprise, so he urgently wanted to install his own people in the court, and when he was in a hurry, he would easily show his flaws. Among the people he recommended to the Taibao, some of them were actually useless. It really caused some trouble.Zhuo Jingfan and Dou Chun thought that Hu Yanlu wanted to make the court a mess, God knows that Hu Yanlu originally planned to control the entire court, and he was very annoyed when his people made mistakes.

It was also to divert Dou Chun's attention, coupled with Feng Qishan's eagerness to move, and later Tuoba and others fell into Dou Chun's hands. Hu Yanlu was worried that his identity would be exposed, so he just kept doing nothing to lure Hu Jun into the customs. After the army entered the customs, Dou Chun was in no mood to pursue those officials.

Everything was just as Hu Yanlv expected, and Dou Chun immediately left those offending officials behind. At this moment, Ru Niang discovered his strange behavior, and accidentally saw the letters between him and his subordinates.

Although Ru Niang has a spoiled temperament, she is not stupid. Just relying on a few words in the letter, she actually saw through his identity. Hu Yanlu was a little shocked at the moment. The reverent and admiring eyes, but also a little bit reluctant to let go.

In the end, he was moved by Ru Niang's deep love, and told all about his life experience. ...

******

The surname Huyan comes from the Xianbei people, who were the original Dongyi country. After the Dongyi kingdom was destroyed, the Xianbei people scattered all over the grassland and established several countries.After decades of wars among the countries on the grassland beyond the Great Wall, only the two big countries of Hu and Mongolia remained in the end, and the rest were small countries that were nothing to worry about.

These small countries were originally attached to the Hu State and the Mongolian State, and they were considered self-sufficient. However, in the last years of the Great Wu Dynasty, due to the war in the Central Plains, the Hu State was ambitious. Annihilation of other countries, so as to realize the ambition of unifying the country.At this time, the king of one of the small countries was far-sighted. He took the lead in surrendering to the Hu country and helped the Hu country attack other small countries. King Hu was very satisfied with the king's understanding, so he spared the small country.

After that, the Hu people were driven back to the grassland by Dou's army, and they recuperated for decades. When the last generation of King Hu came, they began to want to fulfill the last wish of their ancestors - to unify the country.

The few small countries that survived were the first to bear the brunt, and became the first step for Hu Yanlu to realize his ambitions. Hu Yanlu's country was destroyed by the Hu people. He was originally a prince of a small country, but now he has become a prince of perishing. He has a sworn hatred.There is also the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not too incompetent and allowed Hu Guo to dominate the grassland, how could the Hu people have such delusions?Moreover, Huyanlu's father is different from the previous kings. Huyanlu's father hugged Dazhou's thigh. After his father came to power, he surrendered to Dazhou. But stand idly by.

It was also because Da Zhou watched his country being destroyed by the barbarians with cold eyes, so Hu Yanlu not only hated the barbarians, but even Da Zhou also hated him.

That's why he tried every means to stir up disputes between Da Zhou and Hu, because to him, both Da Zhou and Hu should be destroyed.So he sneaked into the Great Zhou, deliberately climbed up to the Taibao's daughter, and climbed up step by step. Huyanlu, who has been in power for more than ten years, has long since lost his original desire. In the past, he wholeheartedly wanted to help his family. Revenge, but I don't know when the thought in my heart has become to replace Dou Chun and become the overlord of the world.

Unexpectedly, he didn't know it, and thought that he had noble ideals and noble morals. It's ridiculous that his heart has been tainted by power and lost his true colors. He even used the banner of "revenge" to make waves in the Great Zhou Dynasty. ...

After listening to Hu Yanlu's narration, Ru Niang burst into tears and runny noses. Although she couldn't understand that kind of hatred, but the one she loved lost her family and noble status overnight, it was very pitiful to think about it, but Hu Yan No matter how pitiful Lu is, Ru Niang can't just watch him harm Aye and Da Zhou.Ru Niang still has the pride and self-esteem of the Great Zhou people in her bones. In her opinion, the matter of Huyanlu is all the fault of the barbarians, and has nothing to do with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Hu Yanlu could see Ru Niang's thoughts, he didn't want to argue with the other party, and he was afraid that Ru Nyonya would cause trouble, so he coaxed her to be obedient, saying that he had figured it out after living in Dazhou for so many years, and now He just wanted to make the barbarian pay the price, and then he would take a good rest and take her around.

Ru Niang was very happy when she heard it, and Hu Yanlv fooled her with a few words, and Hu Yanlv persuaded her to leave with the Taibao couple. After the matter was over, the four of them could relax around.The silly Ru Niang didn't expect that her husband would lie to her, or she had doubts in her heart, but she would rather choose to believe the sweet words. In short, Ru Niang really took the Tai Bao and his wife away according to Hu Yan Lv's explanation.

After sending Ru Niang away, Hu Yanlu felt a little strange in his heart. Perhaps this was the last good thing he did. He had already ordered his subordinates to take Ru Niang and the Taibao couple far away. He will take the other party back to enjoy the glory and wealth; if he fails, Ru Niang has already left his hometown, so he is not afraid of Dou Chun's wrath. ...

Hu Yanlu arranged everything properly, and then went to Yuncheng, and soon found out Dou Wan's whereabouts, God helped him, so he quickly tied up Dou Wan, and at the same time, even Dou Zhirong fell into his hands inside.With these few hostages, Hu Yanlu thought he was sure of victory, he could torture Dou Wan and Dou Zhirong with all his strength, perhaps there was still a trace of conscience that hadn't died out, although he beat and scolded them, he never let his subordinate Lang Jun Humiliate the two.

But on this day, one of his trusted subordinates made a good suggestion, throwing Dou Wan and Dou Zhirong into the forest as prey, and they had a hearty hunt.

Hu Yanlu hesitated at first, but when he thought of his dead parents, wife and children, his hesitation disappeared, so he led his men and escorted Dou Wan to the forest, and looked at the two weak women in a panic. Fleeing into the forest, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of his lips. ...

After the stick of incense burned out, Hu Yanlv immediately led his men into the forest. They yelled loudly in the forest, intending to increase the pressure on Dou Wan and the two of them. They did one thing, but when they were relaxed, a sharp arrow pierced through the air and nailed into the chest of one of them with a "swoosh".

Everyone looked at the brother who was still joking just now, and just fell down with a look of astonishment on his face. Everyone was in an uproar, and quickly pulled out the saber from his waist, and stared around vigilantly.Then, one after another arrows flew out from behind the tree, and Hu Yanlu and his party fled in embarrassment, but the opponent was so aggressive that they shot most of Huyanlu's men to death.

The remaining half protected Huyanlu and exited the forest, but there was already a circle of forbidden soldiers outside the forest. When Huyanlu saw the forbidden army, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he shouted, "It's not good! It's a trick!" The big sword dance in his hand He was so angry that he wanted to kill a bloody path.

But there was a big difference in the number of the two sides, Huyanlu and his subordinates were soon subdued by the imperial army, and then Huyanlu and others were escorted to the capital, and his subordinates and strongholds were also taken away by the imperial army.

At the same time, according to the account books and letters sent by his subordinates, Dou Chun imprisoned all the courtiers who colluded with Huyan Lv. The reason was ready-made-collaboration with the enemy and treason.

Those officials complained of grievances, they just pampered the son-in-law of the Taibao, how could they be involved in collaborating with the enemy and treason?Dou Chun told the Dali Temple Minister about the identity of "Xu Chongzhi", and he passed it on to the officials who were imprisoned. Everyone was ashamed when they heard this. How did they know that "Xu Chongzhi" was the prince of the small country of Xianbei?

It's too late to complain, because "Xu Chongzhi" has no problem with his status, but they formed a party for selfish interests, enriched their pockets, and frequently contacted the clan's children. The saint is still alive and well. What are they trying to do?

Therefore, no matter how those officials complained about injustice, Dali Temple cooperated with the Ministry of Criminal Justice to try it together. The trial lasted for nearly a month. In the end, several officials were sentenced to be executed. Some of them were the closest to Hu Yanlu, and those who had the deepest collusion were punished. The Nine Clans and the rest of the lesser criminals were all exiled.

The first year of Yongfan can be said to be a year of panic. At the beginning of the year, many officials were involved in the conspiracy case. In October, there was another collusion and treason case. This time, many officials were involved, but after these two With the great cleansing, the atmosphere in the court has become much better, and the remaining officials are all sincere in their work and loyal to the monarch for the country. This is also a blessing in misfortune.

After Dou Chun completely removed Hu Yanlu's men, the people sent to hunt down the Taibao also came back, but they only brought back the Taibao couple, but Ru Niang was nowhere to be seen.It was only later that Dou Chun found out that after hearing about Huyanlu's failure, Runiang swallowed poison and committed suicide that night. Maybe she had a premonition that Huyanlu would not succeed, so she always carried a bottle of Hedinghong with her.

After learning that their daughter committed suicide, the Taibao couple seemed to have aged several decades overnight. Seeing the weather-beaten expressions of Taibao and Taibao's wife, Dou Chun couldn't bear it, and the Taibao's heart was ashamed. , begged Dou Chun to resign as a Taibao, and then returned home with his family, and never set foot in Kyoto again.

Dou Chun naturally agreed to the Taibao's request. Actually, speaking of the whole matter, the Taibao was also very innocent. It can be said that he was cheated by his own daughter and son-in-law. Qing Qing charges, but Dou Chun did not care about the other party, he waved his hand generously to grant the other party's request, and sent someone to escort them back to their hometown.

As for the news of Hu Yanlu being arrested and imprisoned, Dou Chun also let someone deliberately leak it to Tuoba. Tuoba closed his eyes after knowing it, knowing that the situation was over. Relying on it, without Huyan Law, it will be difficult for King Hu to deal with Da Zhou.As for himself, he was also trapped in Da Zhou, and Tuoba suddenly had a feeling in his heart that they had underestimated Da Zhou too much in the past.

It's not that he wants to boost other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige, it's because after he sneaked into the Great Zhou this time, what he saw and heard was somewhat different from what Hu Yanlv said.For a long time, according to Hu Yanlu, Dou Chun, the sage of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was young and had not gone through many events. He would definitely not be able to sit firmly on the throne, and he would not be able to hold down the old officials in the court. Moreover, when the regime changed, he took advantage of it At a good time, Hu Yanlu also used this excuse to convince King Hu to send troops.

But in the end, Hu Yanlu was caught by the brat he called. Not only was the plan and arrangements for many years in vain, but his true identity was also revealed by the other party.It was only at this time that Tuoba knew that Huyanlu was actually the prince of Tata Kingdom.

Tata country was one of the few small countries destroyed by King Hu in the past few years. No wonder he always felt that Huyanlu had a hint of resentment towards Hu country.

Although Tuoba knew that Dou Chun must be uneasy and kind when he told him all this, but he knew that the front was a trick, but he had no choice but to dig in. Hu Yanlu's identity is too sensitive, he must pass this news back to Hu Guo, Hu Wang There are Hu Yanlv's subordinates beside him, and he is afraid that Hu Yanlv will drag King Hu to his death before he dies.

Tuoba guessed right, as soon as Hu Yanlu fell into the hands of the imperial guards, he knew that he was in danger, so on the way back to the capital, he sacrificed all his subordinates and tried his best not to escape successfully.After Huyanlu escaped, the imperial army did not immediately chase after him, but sent spies with good skills to follow him. At this moment, Huyanlu had only one thought in his mind, that is, he would die on the grassland, and he would hold King Hu on his back.

Hu Yanlu went all the way to Yuncheng, Fu Jue and others also received the news, so they deliberately let Huyanlu sneak into Yuncheng, and then left the city smoothly to go north.Dou Chun's men followed him all the way, followed Hu Yanlu out of Quyang Pass, and then came to Hu State.

As soon as Hu Yanlu entered the state of Hu without delay, he went directly to the palace to ask King Hu. Knowing that Hu Yanlu had escaped, King Hu hurriedly let him in for an audience.He urgently needs to know the situation in the pass. Although Hu Jun entered Quyang Pass, they stopped at Yuncheng. There are some not-so-rich counties to the north of Yuncheng. King Hu knows that the real prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty is after passing through Yuncheng. The land, so he wanted Hu Jun to take down Yuncheng in his dreams.

Because the palace was heavily guarded, Dou Chun's people couldn't get in, so they had to stay outside. But not long after, there was a commotion in the palace—King Hu was assassinated.

Hu Yanlu was ruthless to the enemy, and even more ruthless to himself. He had already broken his arm, and the wound had deteriorated and become infected because he was on the way. country.After seeing King Hu, he stabbed the other party with all his strength, and directly stabbed King Hu to death, and he himself was at the end of his battle, and died before King Hu's guards took him down.

As soon as King Hu died, the situation in Hu State was in turmoil. The sons of King Hu fought for the throne, and the army sent out was also called back. At this time, for the sons of King Hu, whether to win Yuncheng It doesn't matter anymore, what matters is who will take the position of King Hu. ...

After the news of Hu Jun’s sudden retreat came back to the capital, the officials in the court were naturally confused, but the enemy’s retreat is a good thing, and now only treasonous Fu Jue and Dou Heng are left. It has never been mentioned for several days in a row.

Until this day, news came from Tongzhou that Feng Qishan had been assassinated and died.
