The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 530 There are too many emperors

Fang Dahe stood at Chen Yuzhang's bedside and reported to Chen Yuzhang the recent military arrangements and the progress of the resettlement of Bailian believers.

"Ahem!" Chen Yuzhang covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and then he said to Fang Dahe: "Thank you for your hard work, thank you, otherwise I don't know who to ask to take care of these things!"

Fang Dahe covered Chen Yuzhang with a quilt thoughtfully, "What did the second brother say? We are not all a family. How can we talk about whether it is hard work or not!"

Chen Yuzhang patted the edge of the bed and motioned for Fang Dahe to sit down.

"Dahe, you were the first to come out with me, and now you are my brother-in-law. Let me tell you something that comes from the bottom of my heart."

Chen Yuzhang said slowly to Fang Dahe: "My health is getting worse day by day. I probably won't be able to see Lin'er grow up, but I really can't bear to lose this family business like this!"

Fang Dahe hurriedly advised: "Second brother, please don't say this. It's just a temporary serious illness. Who can be free from pain and illness while this person is still alive?"

Chen Yuzhang waved his hand and said: "Don't try to persuade me. I know my own body. I have seen so many doctors and taken so many medicines, but they are all useless."

"In the future, if something happens to me, I will keep those people who can, and kill those who can't. I can't let them come back and harm my son."

When Chen Yuzhang said this, his eyes were filled with fierce determination.

Fang Dahe nodded solemnly and said, "I listen to the coach."

The two chatted for a long time, until Chen Yuzhang fell into a drowsy sleep, and then Fang Dahe got up and left the yard.

The cool breeze blows in autumn, and the yellow leaves fall from the branches, fluttering and swirling in the wind, and flying to no one knows where.

Fang Dahe went out and followed the streets to find his hometown's residence.

It has been almost half a month since he came back, and this is the first time he has returned to his home.

The dilapidated house has been in disrepair for a long time and has long since collapsed into a pile of ruins. It is overgrown with weeds, the only few tiles are missing, and the thatch on the roof has been blown everywhere by the wind.

A skinny mouse jumped out and saw someone disappearing into the wilderness in an instant.

Fang Dahe walked forward again, and the same thatched house stood there alone. It had not been seen for many years, and the pillars were still holding on to the roof, as if waiting for the owner's return.

Looking from the gate, you can see at a glance that half of the wall behind the house has collapsed. It seems that beggars or wild dogs may have built a nest there.

This thatched house was his dead wife's natal family. They had a bright future in mind, and several young people traveled thousands of miles to join the White Lotus Army.

I thought that from now on I would not have to worry about food and drink, everyone would be equal, and I would never be bullied again. Who would have expected what would happen later?
People's hearts are changeable, and things in the world are changing. You never know what the arrangements will be for tomorrow today.

Jing Li was also filled with emotion: "Tantai Yulie actually proclaimed himself emperor, tsk tsk! Xiao Zhizong was very busy. One daughter became a concubine, the other a queen, and both sons-in-law became emperors. What should we do? ?”

At the end of August, as soon as Jingli and his party entered the territory of Jingzhou, they heard that Tantai Yulie, the king of Hejian, had issued a proclamation, saying that the king of Wei in Shu had plotted to kill the late emperor and was pretending to ascend to the throne, and that he was actually the prince he wanted.

He wrote several long articles, all criticizing the Queen of Wei and her son, and that he, the crown prince, was the real one.

He also issued a document asking the other kings to go and serve him, etc., but except for a few small vassal kings, the others simply dismissed it.

Tantai Lin didn't even bother to look at it. Instead, Huan Yuan led Chang'an's leadership team and sent out a message, stating that they had no intention of competing for or relying on anyone, and would always support the orthodox path.

The implication is that you two should stop pushing. Who is the orthodox? Come up with a strong and effective proof. If not, I'm sorry, we are focused on the country, not any nephew.When Tantai Lin heard what Jing Li said, he couldn't help but laugh: "Two emperors' sons-in-law, it's not easy for the head of state, and it's going to give him a headache!"

As Tantai Lin said, Xiao Zhizong really had a headache at this time. He was already competing with Eucommia ulmoides. Now that King Hejian has ascended the throne in Youzhou, Emperor Longxin obviously distrusts him.

Xiao Lianxi cried to Madam Xiao Er with her stomach bulging: "Mom, you can't just care about eldest sister and ignore me!"

"Now I am carrying a dragon seed in my belly. Once this child wins His Majesty's favor in the future, won't our Xiao family be able to take a step further?"

"Shut up!" Xiao Zhizong, who heard his daughter's words as soon as he came back, couldn't help but shouted angrily: "It's only five months old now. It's unknown whether she will be born a boy or a girl. You just Dare to speak nonsense!"

Xiao Lianxin couldn't help but said aggrievedly: "Dad, how could you say that about your own grandson?"

"Besides, he is Your Majesty's eldest son. How can you curse him like this?"

Even Mrs. Xiao Er glanced at her husband with disapproval, "What you said is a bit too unpleasant. She is still pregnant. Doesn't it make her uncomfortable to say this!"

Xiao Zhizong couldn't help but said: "Everyone has long hair and short knowledge. They think my words are ugly."

"You can't tell what Eucommia is thinking, can you?"

"Now that Queen Du is pregnant, do you think the Du family will tolerate the child in Lianxin's belly?"

Mrs. Xiao Er didn't know why: "As you said just now, Queen Du's child is still very young. Now she can't even tell whether it is male or female. She still doesn't know whether it will be born smoothly. How dare Du Zhong have such ideas?"

Xiao Zhizong sneered: "Do you think Du Zhong cares about the child in Queen Du's belly?"

"Now everyone in Shu knows that Queen Du is pregnant with a child, and some fortune tellers have seen it and it is a boy. Therefore, the child Queen Du will give birth to in the future must be a boy, and a healthy boy."

Xiao Lianxin curled her lips and said: "How come the fortune teller is so sure? It seems that there are not just one or two fetal errors."

Mrs. Xiao Er had a stern look on her face. She was not a daughter, so she naturally knew what Eucommia was thinking. She was just afraid that Emperor Longxin would die as soon as the child was born.

Poor Empress Dowager Ruan and her son, they still hope that Eucommia ulmoides will lead them back to Kyoto.

Mrs. Xiao Er could not help but tremble, "If they want to attack the emperor, then we..."

The two families have always been in opposition, not to mention that his eldest son-in-law, King Hejian, proclaimed himself emperor in Youzhou. He knew that Eucommia ulmoides would not let their family go.

When Xiao Lianxin heard what her mother said, she understood the Du family's insidious intentions, and she immediately panicked, "Father, what should we do now?"

Xiao Zhizong felt even more pressure when he saw both mother and daughter looking at him, "Now we can only distinguish the pros and cons with His Majesty, and it is best to take His Majesty and the Queen Mother with us!"

Xiao Lianxin couldn't help but cry: "His Majesty now relies on the Du family wholeheartedly, not to mention that the King of Hejian has proclaimed himself emperor again. Our family's status is embarrassing. He will definitely not believe us."

She complained a little in her heart, why did her parents marry her eldest sister to the King of Hejian in the first place, and now they let her follow His Majesty, making both of them inhumane.

Mrs. Xiao said tremblingly: "How about we ignore Empress Dowager Ruan and her son and escape on their own?"
