This queen is not too curly

Yan Yuan, light up the lamp.

Chen Ling's voice was neither soft nor heavy, and it just fell into Yan Yuan's ears.

Yan Yuan's mind was on the verge of falling, when she heard the sound, she suddenly breathed out, and her reason gradually returned to her body.

She loosened her clenched fist.

His eyes moved slowly, and fell on the torch in the hands of the silver armored warrior again.

"No!"

Yuchi Shangshu opened his hands, protecting the flame tightly, as if the fate of the Yan Kingdom was in his hands, and he wanted to use his life to defend the dignity of the Yan Kingdom.

He has obviously put all his money into it and is ready to sacrifice his life for the peace of Yan country.

Yan Yuan looked at him coldly.

She suddenly discovered that when the anger burned to a certain level, her heart turned out to be peaceful.

She ignored the bloody old man, but chose to take a detour and took the torch from the silver armored general.

"Young lady can't do it!"

The courtiers who forced the palace stood up one after another. They walked up to the old monk and stood in a row, each with a look of death.

Holding a torch in her hand, Yan Yuan raised her head and looked at a wall of people in front of her.

She asked softly, "Why not?"

Yuchi Shangshu gritted his teeth: "How can a person with karma overwhelm his body tarnish the foundation of the country and affect the destiny of the country!"

Yan Yuan said lightly, "Oh, that's right."

Holding a torch in her hand, she approached Shangshu Yuchi step by step.

Everyone thought she was going to argue with Yuchi Shangshu, but she didn't.No one saw clearly what happened, the dagger in Yuchi Shangshu's hand fell into Yan Yuan's hand.

"save--!"

Yuchi Shangshu's expression was terrified, and he instinctively avoided it.

Yan Yuan had already thrown the dagger heavily to the ground, and then she stepped forward quickly, grabbed the lotus lantern in the old monk's hand, held the lotus lantern with one hand, and lit the lotus lantern steadily with the other hand.

"stop!"

"No!!!"

By the time Shangshu Yuchi realized it, it was too late.

The flames rekindled within the lotus lantern.

There was complete silence in front of the Buddha Bone Pagoda, and no one thought that things would develop like this.

The blood of Yuchi Shangshu is still flowing, the courtiers who forced the palace gathered in front of the lotus lantern, and the empress with a dishonorable name has not been recognized by everyone at all...

But the lotus lamp has already been lit.

The flames flickered in the lotus lantern, as if they were mocking everything in front of the hall.

The old man Yuchi was depressed, and he took a few steps forward tremblingly, mumbling in his mouth: "How can this be so, how can it be so..."

Yan Yuan had already put the lotus lamp in the wind-shielding box in the hands of the old monk, and carefully adjusted the position to ensure that the lotus lamp would not be blown out by the wind, before she turned around and faced the public anger.

"There is no such reason, no such reason..."

"If you are rebellious, you will be punished by God..."

Yuchi Shangshu was already slumped on the ground, and the courtiers beside him who were fighting against the enemy rushed to help him, but they only produced more bloodstains.

Yan Yuan looked at him condescendingly: "Why, I have to beat you in an argument before I am qualified to light the lamp? Are you the law of the country or the way of heaven?"

Yuchi Shangshu was furious: "You you you..."

Yan Yuan looked at him coldly.

After all, it is a waste that has been fattened in the imperial capital.

A few old men were making trouble in front of the hall, and the powerless people stretched out their hands to stop them, thinking that everything in the world needs to be convinced to happen.

It's really the innocence of being pampered.

"There is no such reason, no such reason..."

Shangshu Yuchi couldn't say anything else, he just beat his chest desperately, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Master Yuchi!"

The people beside him frantically went to help.

All the noise and chaos interweave into an absurd picture.

Only Chen Ling's eyes pierced through all the chaos, falling on Yan Yuan's body like snow.

Yan Yuan looked down at the courtiers who made troubles and forced the palace, and asked them: "You said that this palace is not qualified to touch the ever-burning lantern that symbolizes the prosperity of the country and the border gates are forever, so do you know that the border gates of Yan Kingdom are now demarcated?"

The courtiers looked at each other, but no one answered.

Of course they knew that the border here was fought by the Marquis of Dingbei, every city came from a battle, and every inch of the country was demarcated by him, but once these words are spoken now, they will be at a disadvantage.

So they can only look away.

Yan Yuan laughed, of course she didn't expect them to answer, but continued to ask them:

"My father can fight this country, but why can't I light this eternal lamp?"

"You keep talking about the fate of the country, do you know how the fate of the country came about?"

"My lords don't really think that the fate of the country can be obtained by lighting a lamp in the imperial capital and asking God to pray?"

The field was as quiet as death.

I don't know how long the stalemate lasted, and finally someone stood up and spoke with difficulty:

"Even in a special situation, as a leader, you should put kindness first, so that you can leave your name in history."

"No matter what, the people are innocent."

"Killing people like hemp is a crime!"

The man was struggling to speak, trembling and supporting old man Yuchi.

Yan Yuan looked at them with blatant mockery in her eyes.

This group of civil servants who are pampered in the imperial capital have already forgotten that there is still war in this world.

They were all plain-clothed and clean, looking back at the past with their proud heads upright, they kept saying that the people were innocent and the killing was shameful, and they only had false compassion floating in their eyes.

Yan Yuan said coldly: "The ministers are raised in the imperial capital, and they may only know the battle situation, but not what the blue city has experienced."

After all, those things that could not be put on paper and ink in the past have already been submerged in the long river of time.

At that time, the country of Yan was still poor and weak, and the neighboring state of Jin invaded the border cities of Yan country for 20 years, and Blue City was the most important city among them.

During those 20 years, the State of Jin not only supported the puppet city lord in Lancheng, but also forced the people of Lancheng to intermarry with the people of Lancheng.

After the first emperor succeeded to the throne, he mobilized his troops and fought against the Jin State for years. He lost countless lives and finally recaptured those cities. In the end, there was only one blue city left in a stalemate.

Just because the location of Lancheng is very special, it is attached to the middle reaches of a big river called Xunhe, the river turns a bend when passing by Lancheng, and a plateau is piled up with sand and soil on the edge of Lancheng, and to the east of the plateau is the city and cultivated land of Yan Kingdom .Once the great river breaks its embankment, it will be flooded and hell on earth.

"My lords, do you know what was the last order given by the puppet city lord?"

"Capture the women, children and children in the city, and delay the strangulation, unless..."

"Someone dug the river."

"Flooded the eleven prefectures of Yan Kingdom."

Those women and children were originally citizens of the Jin State. They only knew that the emperor had issued an order to relocate, so they were escorted back to the Jin State in a daze. Those who were left behind faced the threat of strangling their relatives after three months. Even the generals of the city defense army... After all, it is difficult to make a decision.

"When my father captured Blue City, there were still 3000 people in the city."

"Each of them is an 'innocent civilian', but they can all make life miserable in the eleven states of our country."

This is the trap that Jin has deliberately laid out for 20 years.

The state of Jin seemed to give up the city, but in fact it left behind a poisonous needle, which pierced deeply into the heart of the state of Yan.

3000 people lived in isolation and were difficult to govern.All of these people are real citizens of Yan State, innocent people, but each of them has relatives, friends, wives and children from Jin State.

Perhaps not all of them have the courage to treason for their wives, daughters and relatives, but it only takes one person, one hoe, and one hour to dig the river.

At that time, there was still turmoil at the border, and the blue city was short of supplies. The situation at that time simply could not mobilize more troops to surround the blue city... What's more, no matter how many troops were hoarded, they couldn't hold [-] pills, worrying about the safety of their loved ones heart of.

"My father guarded the river for ten days and ten nights, and killed 13 people who tried to break the embankment."

"On the night of No. 11, I found that the people of Blue City began to gather."

At that time, there was already no city lord in the city. Originally, they were supposed to welcome the Northern Army into the city, but 20 years is too long. How can the affection for the homeland be compared with the blood-and-blood family affection?If you can save your relatives, if you can see your wife and daughter again, so what if you patrol the river and break the embankment?So what if the downstream lives are overwhelmed with charcoal?
They are all just ordinary people, kinship of flesh and blood, the principles of nature and ethics, are all human nature.

"So, they treasonously stood on their own feet."

Yan Yuan raised her head and glanced at the officials.

I don't know when it started, there was no sound in front of the tower, and everyone held their breath listening to Yan Yuan's story.

Yan Yuan asked them softly: "I wonder if you adults have seen their battle flags?"

The officials remained silent, with a blank expression on their faces.

They really have never heard of this history, and the time has really passed too long.There are only a few documents left in the court, which record the ten years of war, and there are very few recorded words about the old... things in Lancheng.

They only knew that the Jin Kingdom had been defeated at that time, and the only remaining city, Blue City, was still in dispute.The head coach Yan Zhou failed to persuade them to surrender, so he issued a massacre order for the entire city, and after the city was wiped out, Lancheng was renamed Anding City.

But they didn't know that the city that belonged to them had openly betrayed the country and stood on its own.

Yan Yuan hooked the corner of her mouth, picked up the short knife bestowed by the late emperor from the ground, pulled out the scabbard, and squatted on the ground to draw a pattern forcefully.

She first drew the tortuous outline of the country of Yan: "This is the country of Yan."

Then the dagger crossed a meandering river from west to east: "This is River Xun."

Yan Yuan squinted at the map, and suddenly her eyes became sharp, and she raised her short knife to cut off the lifelike map in half!

"This is their battle flag."

Cut off the dragon's veins, cut off the Xunhe River, and flood the eleven prefectures of Yan State.

As long as the blue city is in one day, the country of Yan will fall into hell forever.

On the familiar map, that truncated trace opened its teeth and claws, stinging the eyes of every courtier.

At that moment, they forgot to breathe, and stared blankly at the flag pattern carved with a knife on the ground, as if the notch fell on their chests instead of the green bricks.

Yan Yuan's light voice sounded: "My lords, do you still think that my father committed atrocities and slaughtered the city back then, and deserves death?"

The air stagnates and time stands still.

None of the ministers made a sound.

They were still staring at the battle flag on the ground in a daze, with shocked expressions on their faces: If one person in that city did not die and held grudges in their hearts, and went to dig and patrol the river as soon as the Zhenbei army left, then the people of the eleven states What price will you pay?What price will Yan Guohui pay?
Obviously it was 30 years ago.

At this moment, they are like falling into an ice cellar, unable to breathe.

"Killing is certainly karma."

"But on the battlefield, killing is just a choice."

"The dead souls in the Pit of White Bones are indeed qualified to claim their lives from my Yan family, because this is the killing karma created by my father, and I entered the pagoda to copy the scriptures because I was willing to save the dead souls."

Yan Yuan glanced at the civil and military officials in front of the Buddha Bone Pagoda, and said word by word: "But you are not qualified to accuse the generals who defend the city of paying blood!"

"No one is born to enjoy killing."

"A general's hands are stained with blood, not dirty."

……

Silence spread, and someone in the first three rows stood up again.

They did not leave directly like the few people just now, but walked up to Yan Yuan, bowed to her, and then slowly exited the queue.

Somewhere farther away, a sonorous and powerful voice suddenly sounded:

"Wei Chi, the last general who will conquer the Western Army! Thank you, Madam, for your righteous words!"

It was a military general. He didn't seem to have a high official position. Although he stood the farthest, his voice was loud and high-pitched, and he reached the front line effortlessly.

In an instant, more voices sounded:

"At the end of the day, I would like to thank my mother for speaking up for justice!"

"At the end of the day, I would like to thank my mother for speaking up for justice!"

"At the end of the day, I would like to thank my mother for speaking up for justice!"

……

For a time the crowd was passionate.

The general's voice was hoarse.

Their official ranks are not high, and in the early years, they fought a world at the border, and now they have entered the imperial capital as officials in the peaceful and prosperous age.I thought it would be another similar world, but in the end, my life in the imperial capital was not satisfactory.

The former glory has become a shackle, they left the cold wind and armor, live on the edge of the crowd, and live in the alienated eyes of the group of nobles.

Time has really passed for a long time.

They had already dried up and turned into wooden people, but they didn't expect that there is still a breath of blood alive today.

"At the end of the day, I would like to thank my mother for speaking up for justice!"

……

The situation in front of the pagoda has undergone an unexpected change. There were not many people left in the original three rows of mighty ministers who died admonishing.

After Yan Yuan finished speaking, she walked into the booth without looking back.

Chen Lingshen followed her into the gauze pavilion together, watching her dazzling red dress lose the sunlight and turn back to dark red again, watching her misty hypocrisy of the past swept away, and sharpness appeared in her eyes .

She looks like a flame.

Burn all the haze around.

And he just watched from a distance, as if he could already touch her heat.

Yan Yuan.

Chen Lingchen lifted his eyelids slightly and moved his fingertips.

Yan Yuan's chest was still full of bad breath, she turned her head and met Chen Ling's quiet gaze, she gritted her teeth: "So, when do you plan to watch the show?"

She was only soft-hearted for a moment, and she didn't want Chen Lingshen to act impulsively, and she didn't want him to be coerced and crucified on the pillar of shame, so she stepped forward.

But she had already reacted halfway.

Is this dog the kind of person who will be kicked on the nose and face in silence?
Obviously not.

It's not bad that he didn't give an order to kill them all!
This dog thing was planned from the very beginning, using her as a saber, maybe the ever-burning lamp will go out is a trap set by him to lure the snake out of the hole.

This is indeed something he can do.

Yan Yuan stared at Chen Lingchen.

Anyway, she's already messed up today, and since she's sprayed all over the court, there's no shortage of him.

Unexpectedly, Chen Lingchen didn't open his mouth to mock. He just lowered his eyelashes and said softly, "Okay."

He lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, so obedient that it was creepy.

Yan Yuan: "..."
