Chapter 742: Where the Peach Blossoms Bloom Seventeen(1/2)
It's March 20th.
evening.
Dongxu City, the sunset fills the sky.
Imperial Palace, Harem, Qingxin Hall, Xingyun Pavilion.
Zhang Jingzhong, the eunuch in charge of the palace, hurriedly walked into Xingyun Pavilion and came to the study.
Emperor Wu was standing in front of the writing desk, dipping his pen in an inkstone, then writing something carefully on a banner.
Zhang Jingzhong stood quietly behind Emperor Wu.
He knew that at this time, even if there was something big, he would have to wait for the emperor to finish writing it before he could say it out loud.
Emperor Wu did not look back.
With a stroke of his pen, he wrote a banner in just a few breaths.
But when he dipped his pen in heavy ink, he still didn't put pen to paper on the second banner...because he didn't know what to write.
This is a couplet!
He originally thought that he had figured out the upper and lower couplets of the couplet, but unexpectedly when he was writing the couplet, he suddenly discovered that the lower and upper couplets did not correspond to each other.
It is not good to think to the left, nor good to think to the right.
After ten breaths passed like this, he suddenly sighed and put the pen in his hand on the pen holder.
Not after all.
Don't force it.
"Say it...!"
Zhang Jingzhong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Xiaoxian, the commander of the black-clad guards...is back!"
In fact, he only said half of this sentence, but Emperor Wu’s waist gradually straightened up??——
On the fifth day of March, he ordered Wei Xiaoxian, the commander of the black-clad guards in the Imperial Palace, to lead people to recover Xue Zhaoyi.
Originally, this matter was supposed to be completed soon, but today it is already March 20th!
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Jingzhong said that Wei Xiaoxian was back!
He didn't say Xue Zhaoyi was back!
This naturally means that Wei Xiaoxian did not catch up with Xue Susu's motorcade!
Even lost it!
As Wei Xiaoxian, one of the most respected masters in the Jishufang and a half-step grandmaster, he should not be unable to catch up with Xue Zhaoyi even if he started a few hours late.
Emperor Wu seemed much older at this moment.
Emperor Wu's feelings for Xue Susu were completely different in his heart!
Xue Susu is the first woman in his life!
The first one is often the one that is most memorable, and is often the one that really puts your heart into it!
Emperor Wu had even thought about it long ago. After he abdicated, he would take Xue Susu to travel around the world.
First, it was to make up for the grievances Xue Susu had suffered over the years.
Secondly...he sincerely likes to be with Xue Susu.
That is a simple woman.
By her side, Emperor Wu would feel extremely relaxed.
When he learned that Ning Guo's Yufeng Guards and Xuanjia Camp passed by Prince Ping's fiefdom quietly, he guessed something.
But he did not give an order to Wei Xiaoxian to kill Xue Susu.
He still hopes to bring Xue Susu back.
But now...she is really gone!
Emperor Wu's heart suddenly felt empty, and a moment later a surge of anger arose.
He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
He put his hands behind his back and raised his head and sighed, "Peach blossoms are red, willow leaves are green, catkins are flying... fell into the stream... the girl in clothes by the stream..."
He said nothing more.
Zhang Jingzhong behind him had already bowed down.
Zhang Jingzhong knows the meaning of some words.
He did not expect that after thirty-nine years, the emperor would not forget what happened in the peach and willow forest with Xue Zhaoyi in Chu State.
"emperor……"
Emperor Wu waved his hand and slowly turned around.
Just as he turned around, the decadence on his face disappeared.
He is the majestic emperor who rules over the world again!
"So, Chu Tianji is really from Chu State?"
"Back to the Emperor, this..."
"It doesn't matter anymore!"
Emperor Wu slowly walked to the tea table and sat down slowly.
"When spring comes, Yan returns to the south. Susu has been living here for so many years... If she wants to go back, she should go back."
"It's just that in my life, I value family ties very much. Regarding my sons, I... understand them and their respective abilities."
"Even if I want to cut down the vassal vassal, how can I possibly make them suffer?"
"But now the development of this matter has exceeded my expectations."
"Since Xue Zhaoyi will not return... then my eldest son, Prince Ping Wu Hui, will rebel!"
"This is something I never want to see!"
"But for this country..."
Emperor Wu's face became extremely serious, "Draw up the decree!"
"Old slave, I obey!"
"Follow Beifu General Wu Li..."
Zhang Jingzhong's heart skipped a beat, thinking that the emperor was going to attack Prince Ping?
But what he never expected was that Emperor Wu’s imperial edict was not like this——
"Immediately follow Beifu General Wu to command Beifu's 100,000-strong army to go to Jianshan Mountain to encircle and suppress all the Ning troops in Jianshan Mountain!"
Zhang Jingzhong's eyes widened immediately, but after counting his breath, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty... you are wise!"
It’s not the emperor’s mercy!
Because Prince Ping’s fiefdom is within Beifu!
Prince Ping has been a feudal lord for more than 20 years!
Although the imperial court has an express decree strictly prohibiting the vassal princes from interacting with border troops from various places, after all, this is a place far away from the emperor, and no one can guarantee what kind of activities they will have in private.
Prince Ping Wu Hui is not only excellent in martial arts, he is also extremely accomplished in military strategy!
He is a rare warrior!
If there really was that unimaginable deal between him and Wu Li, it would be equivalent to gaining an additional 100,000 troops for nothing!
Wu Li was asked to lead the troops to kill him, but a bad move forced him to immediately raise his troops and rebel.
Transferring Wu Li's troops away from Beifu is the best strategy!
But who will the emperor send to deal with Prince Ping?
Emperor Wu didn't say anything.
What Emperor Wu said was: "Stay a while and accompany me out of the palace for a walk."
Zhang Jingzhong asked cautiously: "Where does the emperor want to go?"
"Xia Guogong's Mansion!"
"Old slave, I obey."
"Well... How long does it take for the Condor Army to arrive at the Siliangshi Camp?"
"It will take approximately five days to return to the emperor."
"What is the prince doing these days?"
"Back to the Emperor, His Highness the Crown Prince is busy with the affairs of the Dragon Guard Army."
