Red makeup against the world

Chapter 824 Gambling

Jiang Bingwei's status in the palace is very embarrassing.

But because she tested the poison with herself, and was willing to try the detoxification method on her body first, and then treat Emperor Qinglong after confirming it was safe, the palace has acquiesced to her existence since the Empress Dowager Xiao.

From the prince, the antidote could not be obtained in the end.How can he hand over something that the prince doesn't even have?

Lin Xingchao was treacherous and cunning, and from the very beginning he had no intention of letting Emperor Qinglong live.He led the Nanya rebels into the palace, sneaked away when the situation was not right, and hid among the people.

He was originally a pawn that Jiang Chen placed beside the prince.The prince sent him to the side of King Qianyang, thinking that he had a plan, but unexpectedly he was just a puppet, and the real man behind the scenes was Jiang Chen.

After experiencing the failure of Qianyang King's rebellion, Lin Xingchao became more and more familiar with escaping.Fortunately, Emperor Qinglong wanted to suppress the situation and did not pursue the Nanya rebels, so he escaped calmly.

There was no antidote, and the envoy of Zhao Yuan gathered the power of the Tai Hospital to study the method of detoxification day and night.

On the last day, Su Liangzhi and his wife, who received an urgent order from Empress Cao, hurried back to the capital.He didn't even care about going back to the princess mansion, so he went straight to the palace.

With Su Liangzhi joining and Jiang Bingwei who was willing to try the medicine, he finally developed the antidote at the last moment.

But the toxicity is too overbearing, Emperor Qinglong's body has some roots in the past few years.According to the most optimistic estimate, he can live for more than two years at most.

Emperor Qinglong himself didn't care about this result.After walking through the gate of hell, with Jiang Bingwei by his side, he has already taken power very lightly.

The saddest person in the palace is none other than Empress Dowager Xiao.

Seeing that the white-haired man was going to send the black-haired man away, after the Empress Dowager Xiao heard the news, she couldn't afford to get sick and stayed in bed.

She is getting older, and every winter is the most difficult time for her.This disease is even more menacing.Wen Mulan pretended that Xu Wanzhen was by her side, serving soup and medicine non-stop.

In the palace, Emperor Qinglong was poisoned, Empress Dowager Xiao was seriously ill, and Empress Cao was too busy to touch the ground.He has to take care of the emperor, and has to serve the Empress Dowager Xiao at the same time.

Fortunately, Concubine Fu Xian took the initiative to ask for orders and undertook most of the palace affairs for her, so Empress Cao could breathe a sigh of relief.

Under such circumstances, Su Liangzhi and Princess Chunhe have not had the time to return home since they entered the palace.Princess Chunhe lived back in Concubine Fu Xian's Chunling Palace, while Su Liangzhi lived in the Imperial Hospital.

Su Liangzhi had just packed the medicine box when Empress Cao arrived.

"Your Majesty, Sheng'er has led the troops to Yizhou. Don't worry, the journey is smooth." She informed Emperor Qinglong of the latest military situation.

"With the general's support, I'm not worried about him. I've learned the art of war for so long, and it's time to use it." In Emperor Qinglong's heart, he completely regarded this battle as a good opportunity for the prince to train his troops and establish his reputation in the army.

The Ba family rebelled, but he didn't see it.

Empress Cao knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "When my son grows up, he can stand alone, and we can be lazy."

Emperor Qinglong nodded and said with a smile: "When he comes back, let him revise the memorial. Zhan Shi's mansion should also be changed into the prince's mansion, pass on my order and let Fang Shuyu start this matter."

He still has two years to live, which is enough time.

"You take a good rest." Empress Cao softened her voice, held his hand and said, "I'm going to see my mother."

Speaking of Empress Dowager Xiao, Emperor Qinglong's eyes dimmed, and said: "You stay with her well, it doesn't matter if I come here less."

Empress Dowager Xiao was seriously ill, which made him feel guilty.If it wasn't for his repeated indulgence to the prince, how could he have come to this point?
……

Hebei Road, Yizhou.

The prince transferred [-] elite soldiers from the Gyeonggi camp, and went north to replenish the government soldiers. At this time, there were [-] troops.

He read the letter in his hand, thought for a moment silently, and felt the loneliness of being an emperor in advance.

All kinds of news are gathered in his hands, and his generals also provide various suggestions.But the more you know, the harder it is to judge.Some news is even contradictory and specious.

The final decision can only be made by him alone.In the end, he will be the one who bears the consequences.

This kind of pressure is completely different from his feeling of securing food and grass in the rear during the war with Tubo.

Glancing at the people waiting for his decision in the commander's tent, the prince said slowly: "Leave [-] elite soldiers to guard Yizhou, and rectify and train the soldiers who will come later."

A general and lieutenant general were appointed to be in charge of Yizhou's defense, and given command arrows and command symbols.

"The rest of you, follow me to Bingzhou."

The news he received just now came from Wu Zhengxiang.It said above that the Xiaoqiguards had already found out that the attack by the Ba family army was an illusion, and the real goal was Jinyang City in Bingzhou.

This is a big gamble, and the bet is all on Wu Zhengxiang's judgment.

But for the prince, he longed for a big battle that could decide the outcome.What's more, if Jinyang City is lost, the power of the Ba family's army will increase several times, and those who are still waiting and watching may decide to defect to the Ba family.

With the intelligence support from Xiaoqiwei, the prince made up his mind and transferred the main force to Bingzhou.

……

These days, the Ba family army sang triumphant songs all the way.Like a broken bamboo, they quickly captured Shuozhou, Daizhou and other five prefectures and six prefectures. Based on this, they raised a banner and issued a call for the emperor. The situation is very good.

Officials in these state capitals either surrendered or flattered, or died in the city.

Fortunately, Ba Kunlin's goal is to rule the world.Every time the city was broken, many ordinary people were able to save their lives by indulging soldiers in looting for two hours.

The government office in Daizhou has been changed to Bakunlin's general's residence.The heads of the governor and Sima were planted outside the government office, frightening the people in the city.

Ba Kunlin held the bronze wine bottle and laughed.In front of him, several large boxes were placed.The lid was never closed, gold, silver and jade objects were randomly placed inside, and the precious light was dense.

"Come, come, let's drink this cup together." He smiled so that the beard on his face couldn't help shaking, and the success since the incident made him a little carried away.

His laughter reverberated in the room, and the generals below were all complacent and raised their glasses in response.

Since the departure from Yunzhou, the army has suffered little loss and gained a lot.Just the gold and silver in front of them is worth their annual expenses.

After drinking the wine in the bottle and sharing the belongings, everyone was full of ambition, and their eyes were full of longing like jackals.

Bakunlin scanned around and laughed out loud again, showing the morale of the army.

"Tomorrow, it will be broken into pieces. The generals will lead their own soldiers to Jinyang. How to travel depends on your own means."

Ba Kunlin narrowed his eyes and threw out a bigger bait. "Whoever arrives first will be the general in the future."

The general is a top-ranking military officer, and he is very relentless when he seals up the official position.

When all the generals heard this, they all had fierce eyes.The general is still far away, but Jinyang is within reach.Hundreds of years of wealth had been accumulated in that city, and there were even aristocratic families, which made them feel greedy just thinking about it.
