Chapter 380
The Great Zhou Dynasty had been calm for several years and had not fought a war for a long time
”The matter of King An’s treason and rebellion has not only caused an uproar inside and outside the court, but the people are also talking about it
The people in the palace were no exception, and they could not help but discuss it a few times when they metI don’t know how long this battle will take”
Xin Yun’s tone did not have much fear and trepidation, but some unspeakable excitement: “I really did not expect, King An just turned against
Emperor Taisun himself will lead the troops to quell the rebellion, it will definitely be a success, and it’s best to capture King An alive and return to the capital!”
The Imperial Grandson took the initiative to ask for help to go on the expedition, and his reputation was greatly boosted amongst the dynasty and the countryside, even Xin Yun’s eyes sparkled when she mentioned the Imperial Grandson
Ling Jingshu sighed softly, “I also feel that it is only a matter of time before King An is defeated
It’s only a pity for the soldiers and people under King An’s command, when the war comes together, I don’t know how many people will have to die, and I don’t know how many people will have to be displaced from their homes and die”
In the previous life, King An’s uprising was a few years later
In this life, it had been brought forward, not to mention that the person leading the troops into battle was no longer King Yan, but the Imperial Grandson
When Xin Yun heard Ling Jingshu’s words, she too was a little saddened, “Yes, many people will inevitably die once a war is fought
It can’t be helped
The rebellion has to be quelled before the Great Zhou Dynasty can truly be at peace
Those of us who live in the palace will also have a peaceful and good life”
Ling Jingshu smiled to herself, “You are right!
It’s me who is too pretentious
Thinking about this at a time like this won’t help
It would be better to hope that the Imperial Grandson will return victorious soon
The sooner the war is over, the sooner my heart will be at peace”
Two people are whispering, has been groomed neatly Wei Xianfei walked out: “What are you two whispering?
One looks more grave than the other”
Ling Jingshu put on her spirits and answered, “Your Highness, the slave girl and Xinyun are talking about His Royal Highness Taisun leading the troops to war”
Mentioning the war, Consort Wei Xian’s complexion sighed, “Once the war is over, it’s not peaceful in this palace either
His Majesty is also anxious and in a bad mood these days, and I heard that he blamed a chamberlain for the war yesterday
You two go with me to the Purple Chen Palace and be more careful”
Ling Jingshu and Xin Yun looked at each other and answered in unison
The Emperor was indeed often angry lately, and all the officials were trembling in fear during the court, and when they returned to the Purple Palace after the court had retreated, the serving chamberlains were even more fearful
In just a few days, there are already five or six servants and maids who have been blamed for the war
There is also an injury is too serious, it seems that is not alive
One by one in the eyes, how can there not be chilled?
Those ordinary day to play all kinds of excuses to pander to the concubines, no one dares to come to the purple imperial palace at this time
Lest an inadvertent mistake would offend the Emperor
Wei Xianfei can be called courageous, every day insisted on coming to the Purple Palace to ask for peace
The tenderness and concern for the Emperor never ceased
Today was no different
The Emperor was originally rebuking Eunuch Ding angrily with a gloomy face, when he heard the chamberlain report that Consort Wei Xian had come, the Emperor’s face instantly eased up a lot, “Let Consort Wei Xian come in”
Eunuch Ding is quite fortunate to have escaped, secretly relieved
Wearing a light blue palace dress, Wei Xianfei walked in, her beautiful face was filled with a gentle light smile, “My concubine greets the emperor”
The Emperor assisted Consort Wei Xian and naturally held Consort Wei Xian’s hand, “I said yesterday, nowadays you are the one who takes care of all the trivial matters in this palace, you don’t have to come back every day to greet me”
Once Consort Li Shufei died, there was no one else in the palace who could compete with Consort Wei Xian
The Emperor is no longer close to any concubine because of the dragon’s body, and has grown to favor the understanding and gentle Wei Xianfei
Wei Xianfei smiled and said: ”The emperor for the court and the people **** worry and labor, I can not help, the heart has been guilty enough
Every day can come to accompany the emperor gossip a few words, the heart also feel more comfort
Your Majesty can not whisk my concubine away again”
This speech, said the emperor’s heart comfortable, stretching his eyebrows and smiled: “Good good, I will not say anything”
Ling Jingshu watched from the sidelines and could not help but secretly admire Consort Wei Xian
The Emperor was an old man with a volatile temper, it was really hard to serve him
Consort Wei Xian was still able to be a gentle flower with that wrinkled face
This determination and acting skills, far from being able to reach the very people
The woman who can stand firm in this palace can not be underestimated ah!
Wei Xianfei also did not stay, really only gossip a few sentences, earnestly urged the emperor must take care of the dragon body, and then retired
For several days in a row, every day was like this
Ling Jingshu went in and out of the Purple Palace every day along with Consort Wei Xian, and naturally the chances of seeing the Emperor were not few
However, the Emperor’s gaze had rarely fallen on her
To the Emperor who was no longer lustful, youthful beauty was no longer attractive
What was most comfortable and pleasing to him was Consort Wei Xian’s gentle company
Ling Jingshu was also finally completely relieved
The only thing she regretted was that Wei Yan had stayed in the Crown Prince’s residence after returning to the capital, meticulously conditioning the Crown Prince’s body every day
With one in the palace and the other in the Crown Prince’s residence, the two almost never had the chance to meet
Every few days, Wei Yan would have someone secretly send a letter to the Ling Bo Palace
Because of the war, the hearts of the people in the palace were restless, no one had the leisure to pay attention to Ling Jingshu’s every move
With Consort Wei Xian’s cover up, the correspondence between the two had been very covert and smooth
Huang Taisun led the troops out of the first month, sent back the war report is very simple, the army started to run to the battlefield always need days
It was still on the way, nothing worth saying
After the second month, the victorious reports were frequently sent back to the capital
Huang Taisun first recovered several counties that King An had fought, forcing King An to retreat to the vassal lands
Then he led his troops to surround the vassal land
Huang Taisun is well versed in the strategy of attacking the heart, and did not rush to attack, daily sent people to shout under the city, so that King An led the troops to surrender
On the other hand, he secretly sneaked a spy into the city and spread rumors around, and the people in the city were afraid of the force of the imperial army and were in fear
Even the soldiers under King An’s command began to have a change of heart, and some of them even sneaked out of the city gates in the middle of the night and surrendered to the imperial army
After such a war report was sent to the capital, the hundred officials in the court have spoken out to praise the royal grandson acted with a magnificent temperament, there is the elegance of giving up without a fight, and the emperor of that year is just like the same
Praised the Emperor’s grandson, but also patted the Emperor’s ass
The emperor was in a happy mood, and praised Huang Taisun
The royal grandson is happy, An Wang’s days can be difficult
Secretly escape surrender more and more soldiers, daily congestion in the city gate at the people want to escape from the city is also a sea of people
If it continues like this, not waiting for Huang Taisun to attack the city, we will be deprived of ourselves without a fight
But at this time, if you open the city gate to surrender, it is too much of a wimp!
An Wang who refused to die, finally made a last-ditch effort!
