213. The Queen’s Favorite Husband
213. The Queen’s Favorite Husband
When the Scarlet Women invaded, it was common for men to join in the resistance, but it was the first time that men were actually included and received the same military pay.
The news that Yan Chu formed this miscellaneous army spread quickly throughout the North, and everyone knew that this was the Queen's tacit approval. Some people felt that Feng Jun was as courageous as a girl, while others thought it was just a joke, and I don’t think men can really go to the battlefield and kill the enemy.
Rumors about the latter are mostly spread in the south, especially in the capital. They all feel that Fengjun will cause trouble if he goes there. If a man can go to the battlefield, what's the use of having a girl?
*****
"I think Yan Chu is really crazy about being famous."
Listening to the words coming from the north, Zhang Ruyi sneered and threw the fruit that had just tasted sweet to the ground, splashing some juice onto the moon-white shoes.
"You don't care what he does. If this happens, you can do whatever you want to do with him."
Zhang Li took her son's hand and told Zhang Ruyi not to forget important things for insignificant things.
"Dad, I'm still a little worried. Our Zhang family is helping her like this. How can we guarantee that she won't kill her in the end?"
Zhang Ruyi looked at the Zhang Li family, still feeling a little upset. After all, what they had to do was too big. One of the bad things was that it would be a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
"Don't worry, this is the receipt given by the concubine, and it also has the concubine's private seal printed on it."
Zhang Li smiled proudly, and handed something tightly wrapped in oil paper to Zhang Ruyi's hand: "The one who refused to give you the title of a prince is fine, not to mention that the concubine's husband's family is weak, even if the new emperor He is still a little young when he ascends the throne. When the time comes for him to be in the court, the only one he can rely on is our Zhang family. "
Zhang Ruyi eagerly opened the oil paper and saw a large deed written on the silk handkerchief and a bright red mark, but she was still a little uneasy.
"I am six years older than King Lin. By the time King Lin comes of age, I will have already passed the age of flowers. Even if I occupy the position of a true king by then, how will I be favored? Dad, otherwise this matter will be like this Give it up."
At that time, I only responded to Zhang Li's words because I was angry. But after a while, when I thought about my current situation, I suddenly felt that this approach was inappropriate.
"Yi'er, now it's not whether you think about it or not, but whether the queen will give our Zhang family a way to survive after she comes back. Instead of dying, it's better to burn the boat."
At this time, Mrs. Zhang Li couldn't care less about her love for her son in the past. Now it was a matter of life and death.
Zhang Ruyi was silent, thinking about the news coming from the North, that Yan Chu could have his own private army. Although it was just a miscellaneous army formed by a group of men, since the Queen agreed, she intended to make a reputation for the other party, regardless of the paper. How do people view Yan Chu's excessive behavior? At least in the hearts of ordinary people, such a Fengjun is more worthy of their admiration.
Maybe his idea was wrong at the beginning. The Queen didn't have any thoughts about that man, but he just deceived himself and couldn't see clearly.
Coupled with a friendship of life and death, when the Queen returns victorious, will there really be room for him in this deep palace?
"What does it matter if you are older than Princess Fenglin? Older men will love others, and the Queen is young. Before she reaches the age of drafting, she will only have you by her side. For such a long time, Dad doesn't believe you are still here. You can't win over a child like her. As for your identity, don't those barbarians have the custom of inheriting the daughter after the death of the mother, and the younger sister after the death of the sister? By then, as a person, you have not been favored by the late emperor and have been born a noble son. Why can't you take on the title of Fengjun?"
In Zhang Li's view, her son is the best, not to mention that they have the concubine's autographed letter in their hands, so they are not afraid of the other party's denial.
"Everything in the capital is ready now. The Queen is too overbearing and won't leave a way for others to survive. As long as Princess Lin raises her arms and calls out, then the sky will change in Tianhuang Kingdom."
Mrs. Zhang Li sighed softly, confident.
"Don't worry, dad. Leave this palace to me."
Now that things have happened, there is no room for Zhang Ruyi to regret it. It’s just that Feng Zhao’s previous methods were too cruel and decisive. The courtiers above the court may not all hope that the monarch will be wise. The queen is too strong, which makes the ministers incompetent. In life, there is nothing more than money. , power, sex, these three things cannot be given by Queen Feng Zhao, but her weak and immature imperial sister can.
The same is true for him. If he can't control Feng Zhao's heart, why can't he control a nine-year-old child? Even if the concubine is still alive, so what, he is determined to be Feng Jun.
"Half a month later...the Queen...was assassinated..."
The words that followed were too soft to be heard clearly. Zhang Ruyi put her ear to Zhang Li's mouth, her expression became more and more obscure, and finally, she nodded heavily.

"Over there, start taking action."
In the past few days, the Chi Nu tribes have raided Lingtian Pass several times. Each time, Feng Zhao and Yan Beitian led troops to stop them. In one of them, Feng Zhao personally beheaded the enemy's Zuoqi General. It was the man who killed Prince Ling in full view of the public. The morale of the army increased greatly. Although the Red Girl tribes also increased their reinforcements, they still could not attack the city.
At this time, Feng Zhao, Yan Beitian and many generals were staying in the camp, looking at the secret report coming from the capital, and said with a smile.
She never felt that her good imperial sister had stopped coveting the throne, especially since she had her ambitious father behind her, as well as the old ministers left by the late emperor in the court, none of whom wanted her to grow up. So great.
In the eyes of those people, she, the queen who ascended the throne as a minor, should be an obedient and sensible puppet who can act under their command.
Feng Zhao smiled sarcastically, as could the generals present.
Now at a time when the border war is stalemate, those people actually want to assassinate His Majesty. They don't even think about it. If the assassination is really successful and the army is panicked and defeated by the Red Girl tribe, even if they can claim the title of emperor, how long will they be able to do so? Or are they confident that they can make the Red Girl tribes withdraw again?
Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death probably think that it will be better to marry the prince when the time comes. It is ridiculous. The reason why the Red Girl tribe is clamoring for marriage and peace talks is because the other party also knows that winning or losing this battle is only a 50-50 matter, but Once the natural danger of Lingtian Pass is broken, the Red Girl tribes will have a greater chance of winning. Since they can win the whole world, why should they give up for a prince and the dowry.
"When will Your Majesty decide to leave?"
Yan Beitian asked in a deep voice, seemingly not surprised at all by the question.
"Those people will take action tomorrow. After tomorrow, I will be assassinated and seriously injured. I don't know whether I will live or die. By then, Lingtian Pass will have to be guarded by my mother-in-law."
Everything has been arranged, and she wants to see how those people take action, so that she can catch all those who have disobedient intentions.
This was discussed with Yan Beitian long before Feng Zhao set out for the North. The so-called imperial conquest was also a trap to encourage Feng Lin's group to take action. Now that the fish has taken the bait, she will naturally leave. From the north, the capital needs her more.
What's more, everything here has been arranged properly. Even if the news of her assassination comes out, there will be no serious problems with Yan Chu guarding her.
At this time, Feng Zhao couldn't help but be grateful for Yan Chu's trick of a man's army, which had accumulated a lot of people's support in the North. As long as he does well, the people's support here will not be weakened.
Thinking of Yan Chu, Feng Zhao's eyes became much gentler: "Ah Chu also asked my mother-in-law to take good care of him. I will explain the pros and cons to him in detail tonight. I believe Ah Chu can understand."
She couldn't take Yan Chu away. She couldn't guarantee that there would be no hidden plots against Feng Lin in the entire military camp. Even the news that she had faked her injury was only known to a few absolutely credible people. In this way, if Yan Chu If Feng Jun, who is in the limelight, also disappears, it will easily arouse the suspicion of smart people.
Hearing that Feng Zhao planned to tell his son this secret, Yan Beitian felt even more relieved. After this incident, even if his son no longer loves him, respect is absolutely indispensable. As long as she and her daughters live in peace, her son's future will surely Can be safe and smooth.

"Are you afraid of it?"
Feng Zhao returned to the camp, and Yan Chu happened to be back from training. The men in his army were all made up of ordinary people in the North. Although they were strong, they had never been systematically trained. Such an army would only die if they went to the battlefield. life.
Feng Zhao had seen what he did these days, but he didn't take it seriously. He just let Yan Chu find something to do to relieve stress, so that he wouldn't be bored in the camp.
At this moment, she told everything she had planned before and waited patiently for Yan Chu's reaction.
"If I lose, you will no longer be Tianhuang's Phoenix Lord. As my official husband, it is very likely that you will be implicated by me and lose your own life and the lives of everyone in the Yan family."
"From the day I married you, I have thought that we cannot live together, but we want to die together. What's more, I believe that Zhao Niang, whom I like, will never lose to those stupid rebels."
What a joke, with him here, you can't lose even if you want to.
What's more, in the memory of the original body in the previous life, there was also turmoil in the country. At that time, people in the harem were panicked, but in the end Feng Zhao appeared in time and put down the civil strife resolutely.
In the north, because of Yan Beitian, the war between the Red Girl tribe and the Tianhuang Kingdom was dragged into the winter in the north. The Red Girl tribe was finally defeated by insufficient food supplies and fled in defeat.
The exact origin is not clear, but the results are all good.
If it weren't for the original person's stupidity, Yan Beitian would never have resigned and returned to his hometown due to his illustrious military exploits, and no one in his clan would be an official anymore.
Feng Zhao is not the kind of king who has no tolerance for others. It is true that she has the suspicion and precautions that every emperor has, but she has always trusted Yan Beitian, a general with great military achievements, otherwise she would not have let her be his It's a pity that he raised a son like me and ruined the reputation of loyalty accumulated by the Yan family for generations.
Feng Zhao held the person tightly in her arms. Naturally, she didn't take it to heart about the rabble, but there was no guarantee of any surprises.
What if, what if she loses...
Feng Zhao's eyes were soft. She was fully prepared. Even if she lost, Yan Beitian would not let anything happen to Ah Chu. Even if he could only remain anonymous for the rest of his life and live an ordinary life, at least his life would be saved.
However, this was just the worst plan. Just like Yan Chu said, she didn't believe that she would lose to a man who was only ambitious but not resourceful enough despite being fully prepared.
We cannot live together, but we want to die together.
As the tip of his tongue kept crossing this sentence, Feng Zhao hugged the person in his arms tighter.
This time, after calming down the civil strife and repelling the Red Girl tribes, she could give him whatever he wanted.
A pair for life? Not a bad idea.
****
On the third day, when the queen was about to mount her horse and go out of the city to defend the enemy, the horse suddenly became violent and ran wildly in the camp. Finally, the queen fell from the horse, and her head hit the protruding stone, splashing all over the ground. He was bleeding, and it was said that his hands and feet were injured, and his abdominal organs were also damaged to varying degrees.
Now that the life or death of the Queen was uncertain, people in the barracks were in panic. If General Yan hadn't repelled the attack of the Chi Nu tribes and had the prestigious Feng Jun guarding them, morale would have been weakened even faster.
Because the camp was so chaotic, no one noticed that a small group of people left in the middle of the night.
*****
"It's done."
It was a long distance from Beidi to the capital city. By the time Zhang Ruyi got the news from home, it was already the seventeenth day after the successful assassination.
In the past, because they were not sure that their plan would succeed, and they were not sure whether the Queen was really injured, the capital had been holding back. Now that the news came, it was confirmed that the Queen was injured, so they could naturally take action. .
As for the Queen not dying?
Isn't it an easy thing to let a seriously injured person die? What's more, their people are still in the barracks. If they add something to the meal or light a fire, they will die.
By then the new emperor has secured his throne, will Yan Beitian still dare to rebel?
The ancestral graves of her Yan family are still outside the capital city. Unless this foolish, loyal and filial woman is willing to bring down the entire Yan family and watch her ancestors being crushed to ashes, she would not dare.
When things came to an end, Zhang Ruyi was not so sad after seeing the news that the Queen was seriously injured. He had no real feelings for the Queen in the first place. He entered the palace not so much because of the Queen, but just because she was the Queen.
Now that the Queen's position is occupied by someone else, he will naturally be worshiped by someone else.
"Nongfeng, tell us to go down and let our people take action."
Zhang Ruyi held back her excitement, burned the letter, and then said to the people around her.
"yes."
A short man who had been standing behind him nodded and left from Chende Hall.
Overnight, the harem changed.
Before Liu Lin and others realized what had happened, the palace door was opened in the middle of the night, and tens of thousands of troops rushed in. The palace guards were quickly subdued.
These concubines, the palace attendants in the harem, were still sleeping when they were awakened by the fireworks in the sky and the harsh sound of weapons clashing. They only had time to put on their clothes before they were pushed to the front hall by the rebels.
The fire there was in the sky, as bright as day.
The ministers and relatives of the Feng family who were qualified to appear in the court were all present. Some were standing and some were sitting. In addition, the male family members and children of their families also appeared in the front hall.
The front hall square of Nuo University was actually packed to the brim.
Liu Lin and other noble concubines finally managed to squeeze into the front hall under the push of the rebels. They looked at Zhang Ruyi standing next to the phoenix chair and Princess Lin sitting on the phoenix chair. They were full of fear. Confidence.
"Bold."
Liu Lin hasn't figured out the current situation yet, but he understands that only the Queen can sit on the Phoenix Chair. What's more, Zhang Ruyi is the Queen's man and should not stand with Princess Lin for any reason.
"Liu Lin, Liu Huiqing, I'm afraid you haven't seen the current situation clearly yet."
In the harem, Zhang Ruyi hated Yan Chu the most, and the second most annoying thing was that Liu Lin had not run away. Especially during the more than a month of Yan Chu's absence, the other party relied on his right to be in charge of palace affairs and ridiculed him a lot.
Seeing the other party's embarrassed appearance, Zhang Ruyi felt extremely happy.
"Mom, daddy."
Liu Lin looked around. In addition to his mother, his father and several brothers and sisters were also in the front hall. They looked as embarrassed as him, and they were all kneeling on the palace.
What exactly is going on?
Liu Lin's head was in a mess, and he was terribly flustered.
He looked at Zhang Ruyi standing high up in disbelief.
How dare the other party?
His throat was a little dry. The Queen was fighting at the border right now. If they did this, have they ever thought about what would happen to the people at the border?
In the past, Zhang Ruyi always laughed at him for being stupid. He was stupid, but stupidity was better than being poisonous.
"If you do this, the Queen will not bypass you."
Liu Lin looked at Zhang Ruyi stubbornly and said.
"Oh, then she has to stay alive."
Zhang Ruyi couldn't help but laugh wildly. In a few days, I'm afraid the news of the Queen's death will come. By then, it would be natural for Feng Lin to ascend the throne.
As for those who are disobedient, let them be buried with the "late emperor".
But soon, he stopped laughing.
The author has something to say: It was reported that the description was too violent, so I deleted and deleted the scenes on the battlefield. I also had to modify the plot of the previous short story, so the coding of this chapter was relatively slow. It felt like Maybe it’s the story about humans and ghosts (/w\)
