Chapter 90 [90]
Emperor Lin woke up three days later, but unfortunately he just woke up and couldn't even get up.
The imperial doctor was right. The cold poison accumulated over the years has penetrated his internal organs. His vitality over the years has been at the cost of overdrafting his life. Now, there is no cure for medicine and stone. After drinking the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, he vomited a lot, even though the hall was burning with a majestic stove and the people taking care of him were sweating profusely, he still shouted cold.
The palace has begun preparations for the national funeral.
Lin Qing couldn't take care of his father's illness at all, and was in no mood to feel uncomfortable. Song Country secret agent wrote again. The prince Yong Country has already met Emperor Song. Although he doesnβt know what the two said, the prince looked happy when he returned. After that, Emperor Song called the uncle Rong Yan and followed Emperor Song to the east. The mighty generals of Xidian entered the palace, and it was obvious that something had to be done.
Dalin's envoys are still rushing to Lincheng, the capital of Song Country. According to this situation, I am afraid that the Song Army and the Yong Army will join forces to suppress the border before they arrive.
Dalin was panicked for a while. Xi Xingjiang, who was carrying out military affairs abroad, also received an order to rush back to Beijing, and then led the 30,000 soldiers and horses deployed to the frontier, waiting for orders.
While Yong Country was waiting for a reply from the alliance and Dalin was waiting for it, Song Jinglan personally led one hundred thousand soldiers and horses to the Huai River junction.
The Prince Yong Country, who was still waiting for Emperor Song's reply in the embassy, was shocked when he heard the news.
I'm still waiting here, so did you go? ? ? Are you alliance or non-alignment?
Song Jinglan personally recruited, and Great Song was temporarily supervised by his uncle Rong Yan. The prince of Yong Country directly led people to the uncle's mansion to make a statement without waiting for the official of the Hongyu Temple.
As soon as Rong Yan came out of the palace, he saw the imposing Prince Yong Country when he stepped out of the carriage.
The Rong family has good genes, and the whole family is beautiful. Although Rong Yan is middle-aged, it is difficult to hide his romantic attitude. A pair of beautiful foxes look frivolous when they look at people, and when they squint, they seem to hide countless bad thoughts.
Being stopped by the impolite prince Yong Country, he was not annoyed, but smiled gracefully and asked: "Three princes, what makes you so angry?"
The prince Yong Country was furious: "Are you embarrassed to ask? What does your emperor mean?"
Rong Yan is very sincere: "You have also seen it, the situation is just such a situation, the three princes can understand by themselves what it means."
Prince Yong Country: "???"
Before came, heard that people in the Central Plains love to play dumb riddles, speak not straightforwardly, and especially like to whistle around. Now when see it, it really deserves its reputation!
This cunning Emperor Song didn't wait to sign a covenant with himself, so he went to war with his soldiers and horses, making it clear that he wanted to seize the opportunity to annex Dalin and rob them of the fruits of victory they had planned for many years! Where did the prince Yong Country dare to wait any longer, he left Lincheng with his entourage directly after leaving from the uncle's house, and hurried back to Yong Country to fight for the fighter.
A few days later, Song Jinglan led an army to conquer, and the news that he had arrived on the south bank of the Huai River passed back to Dalin Jingzhong.
Everyone clearly realized at this moment that there was going to be a war.
During this period of time, Lin Qing was discussing politics day by day, and he didn't dare to relax. He didn't even dare to sleep soundly.
He suddenly heard a series of rapid footsteps outside the hall in the middle of the night. Before waiting for the palace staff to shout, he himself woke up instantly, suddenly turned over and sat up, and asked the palace staff who trot in in a deep voice: "But the Song army sent troops?"
The palace man plopped and knelt before the bed, and cried with his throat hanging: "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty is dead."
At the same time, seven death knells were heard in the palace.
Emperor Lin, who had hanged his life with decoction for so long, finally went there late at night.
Lin Qing had a black halo before his eyes.
It's just this time.
Despite the preparations, the death of Emperor Lin still brought a heavy gloom to Beijing, which was already panicked. Many people have packed up their burdens and fled Beijing overnight. But where can you escape? Once Yong Country and Song Country join forces to attack, every piece of land in Dalin will be full of fireworks.
In the morning of the next day, a hundred officials put on hemp and Lin Qing ascended the throne.
The funeral of the emperor was going on in an orderly manner, but no one had time to grieve. After all, judging from the current situation, Song and Yong are about to fight over soon. The top priority is how to mobilize national forces to resist the attacks of the two countries.
Whether Dalin's hundreds of years of inheritance can be kept in Lin Qing's hands depends on this battle.
...
To the north of Huai River, General Xi Xun of Kingdom Guardian led 70,000 soldiers and horses to camp on the shore of Huai River, facing the 100,000 Song Army across the river. The two armies faced each other for many days, and no one changed. Because of Emperor Song's personal conquest, Song Jun's morale was high, and the shouts of the soldiers training every day went up to the sky.
On the Lin Jun side, due to the death of the first emperor and the new emperor's succession, and listening to the news that the whole army of Yong Country was preparing to go out, they all knew that they were about to face a back-to-back battle. Everyone squeezed the weapon in their hands and prepared for a deadly battle.
On this day, the Lin troops who were waiting for the battle suddenly saw the Song Army on the other side raise a blue flag.
Here, the blue flag means negotiation.
The messenger immediately told the news to Xi Xun who was studying the map with his soldiers in the account.
"Negotiating?" The middle-aged man who has been on the battlefield for many years has a majestic face, and his voice also reveals the dull and thick voice of the perennial military training: "Are you sure the news is correct?"
Chuan Lingbing said: "It is indeed the blue flag infallible!"
The surrounding soldiers looked at each other suddenly, and the lieutenant beside Xi Xun pondered: "It's all this time, they are negotiating, what do they want to talk about?"
Xi Xun thought for a while, and then strode out: "Just talk and you'll know."
When came to the bank of the Huai River, saw a boat parked in the center of the river.
Standing on the board of the boat was a tall man wearing black armor. As he was separated from a certain distance, he could not see his appearance. Only the scarlet cloak on his shoulder was blown by the river breeze, with a smile passing through. Huai River Bank: "General Xi, admiring his name for a long time, I was fortunate enough to see him today and his reputation is well-deserved."
It was the Emperor Song!
Across the sound of the river, his voice drifted across the river and passed into the ears of Lin Jun on the shore. The lieutenant said in a low voice: "I heard that Emperor Song has strong martial arts and deep inner strength. It is true."
Xi Xun looked at the figure on the boat in the center of the river and the black Song Army on the bank behind the boat. He raised his feet and said in a deep voice, "Emperor Song has any advice, please speak frankly."
Song Jinglan raised his hand and pointed backwards, and asked with a smile, "Can General Xi see the 100,000 army behind him?"
Xi Xun replied: "Xi is still dim and still has the power to fight!"
Song Jinglan said leisurely: "General Xi has misunderstood, and alone led these 100,000 horses, not here to fight you." He paused, and his smiling voice drifted into the ears of every soldier in Dalin on the shore. : "The lone is here to propose marriage."
For a while, Xi Xun thought that he was really dizzy and misunderstood.
He turned his head and glanced at the soldiers around him. As expected, everyone looked confused and shocked. Only Xi Xingjiang, who was following him, suddenly widened his eyes, and there was a touch of incredibleness on his face.
There was a strange silence on both sides of the Huai River.
It took a long time for Xi Xun to raise his internal strength again, and asked in a deep voice, "What does Emperor Song mean?"
The man on the board smiled and arched his hand at him from a distance: "General Xi, go back and tell you your Majesty, only Princess Yongan is alone."
The reeds on both sides of the Huai River were blown up by the wind, and the white reeds scattered all over the water.
Xi Xun hadn't reacted yet, Xi Xingjiang who was beside him snarled an swear word, drew his sword and rushed out.
Xi Xun was taken aback, and suddenly shouted: "Xingjiang! Stop!"
No matter where Xi Xingjiang would listen, he would go to the center of the river as soon as he swept his figure. Xi Xun shouted, "Stop him!"
Several secret whistles on the river bank flew forward to hold Xi Xingjiang and held them down. Seeing that he still wanted to struggle, Xi Xun strode over, grabbing the sword in his hand with two moves, and angrily shouted: "Naughty!"
Xi Xingjiang's eyes were cracked, his eyes were red with blood, and he roared, "I want to kill him!!!"
Xi Xun's face was sullen and angry: "Keep him down for me, look good!"
Xi Xingjiang gritted his teeth, his eyes were so red that he almost bleeds, but he couldn't say a word when he looked at his father's heavy expression.
After finishing the movement on his side, Xi Xun took a deep breath and looked at the young man on the boat again. How can the prince of a country make a joke? He waved the blue flag and asked for negotiation, and he was alone on the boat. If he made so many preparations just to make a joke, then Emperor Song would be too ridiculous.
Xi Xun originally wondered why Song Army and deploy troops did not go to war, and at this moment, he gradually figured out the intention.
He thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Come on, I want to get on the boat and talk with him."
The lieutenant said worriedly: "General, I am afraid there will be an ambush."
Xi Xun said in a deep voice, "He is not afraid, what is my fear."
Soon a soldier drove a small boat over, and Xi Xun boarded the boat alone. When he was near the boat in the middle of the river, he flew onto the board.
It was also the first time that he saw the legendary Emperor Song who was more fierce than a wolf, and he was unavoidably surprised as the prince of Yong Country. It's just that he didn't show anything, still with a majestic face, and asked in a deep voice: "Xi heard that Emperor Song has entered into an agreement with Yong Country. What does it mean today?"
Song Jinglan smiled and moved his hand back, and the guard waiting next to him put a sacred decree into his hand.
He handed the imperial edict scroll to Xi Xun and said with a smile: "This is a covenant of solitary relatives, and I am willing to make a good relationship with Dalin. During Fangu's reign, Song Lin will be friendly and fend off foreign enemies together and never fight."
Xi Xun's pupils were slightly enlarged, and he reached out and took a look at the book. Sure enough, the regulations were clearly written above, and there was a jade seal of the Great Song Dynasty on the side.
Xi Xun has been on the battlefield, well-informed, and still can't help feeling shocked at this moment. He slowly rolled up the imperial edict, took a deep look at the young emperor in front of him, and said solemnly: "This matter will be reported to your Majesty by Xi."
Song Jinglan smiled slightly: "Waiting for good news."
Xi Jun gave a fist and turned and flew off the boat.
A few days later, the frontier military sentiment followed this covenant to Kyoto.
Lin Qing was exhausted during this period, and it was inevitable that he was nervous and worried about bad news when he heard the frontier battle report.
Until he saw Xi Xun's letter and this covenant, all the worries in his heart turned into shock, and he could not speak for a long time in a high position. The guard who served him thought it was a defeated military situation, and was frightened, but listened to him slowly: "Biography, Princess Yongan."
Lin Feilu has been guarding the funeral for this period of time, kneeling until he is unconscious. Hearing Lin Qing's call suddenly, he vaguely felt that something major might have happened.
Was it defeated?
Is it to let her escape with the queen who is about to give birth?
She walked into the hall with a very complicated mood, until after reading the letter and alliance book that Lin Qing handed to her, Lin Feilu didn't react.
After a long, long time, she slowly raised her eyes to look at Lin Qing with a solemn expression, and pointed at herself suspiciously: "Princess Yongan?"
Lin Qing nodded heavily.
Lin Feilu: "..."
Wait, what about the good stand-in script? Why is it suddenly changed to a faint king script that wants beauties but not jiangshan? !
