Volume 1 Chapter 139 Bai Qi Returns to Beijing
Help Bai Qi and the throne will be yours?
The Ninth Prince's heart twitched violently. If someone else said this to him, he would probably slap the person in the face, thinking that it must be nonsense!
Even want to kill himself.
After all, he had no power from his mother's family, and he only had an unfavored sister. Looking throughout the entire court, no civil official or military general had ever expressed in public that they would be absolutely loyal to him.
Not to mention in public, even in private, he failed to win over a single minister to work for him.
The throne is almost out of reach for him!
But the person who said this now was his royal sister, the person he trusted most in his life and the person he admired most in his life.
In terms of wisdom and ability, his sister Princess Anyang is far superior to him.
The Ninth Prince felt his throat dry, and there was a demon in his heart that was driving him crazy.
"Sister, I am willing to gamble!"
"For the throne, I dare to do anything! Just tell me, sister, what do you want me to do?"
The Ninth Prince once again confirmed that there was no one else around, then he clenched his fists tightly and replied in a low voice with suppressed excitement.
"Don't be so confident!"
Princess Anyang gently turned the imperial teacup, but did not directly answer the Ninth Prince's question. Instead, she stared at the Ninth Prince with her bright eyes and asked:
"Do you know what the consequence of losing the bet is? You will die!"
With a gulp!
The Ninth Prince swallowed hard. He was a dignified prince. Even if he lost the battle for the throne,
As long as he is willing to humble himself, it should not be difficult for him to save his life and become a rich and idle person!
The worst that could happen is being imprisoned.
But the imperial sister said that the consequence of losing the bet is death!
This shocked the Ninth Prince. He opened his lips and asked dryly, "Royal Sister, what do you want me to do?"
Princess Anyang smiled and said, "Father is old! As his children, we should let him live out his days in peace!"
"Perhaps, it's time for Father to accompany our Mother!"
"Mother has been buried there alone for so many years. She must have missed father very much. Little brother, don't you think so?"
Princess Anyang stared at the Ninth Prince with her calm eyes, as if she was talking about a commonplace matter.
But to the Ninth Prince, hearing such words was like a bolt from the blue!
The Ninth Prince staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Let Father accompany Mother?"
"Isn't this just asking Father to go..."
As the Ninth Prince was talking, he couldn't go on. At this moment, cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he had only one thought in his mind: How dare my sister do this?
How could the imperial sister have such a rebellious idea!
Sure enough, from the moment my father decided to send my sister to the Xiongnu as a marriage partner, the relationship between father and daughter was completely severed!
But……
After all, they are father and daughter!
I am still my father’s biological son.
The Ninth Prince took a sip of tea, calmed down, and asked the question that concerned him the most: "Can we do it?"
Princess Anyang said: "If you can't do it, someone will help you do it!"
"Is that so?" The Ninth Prince's eyes became brighter and brighter!
Princess Anyang came up to the Ninth Prince, straightened his crooked crown, and said in a friendly manner:
"Little brother, you have to think it over carefully! Don't go back on your words. Once you walk down a path, you can never turn back!"
"I've made up my mind, let's do it!" The Ninth Prince finally slammed the table with such force that the teacups on the table jumped up.
Princess Anyang nodded with a look of relief and prepared to get up and leave. After taking two steps, she turned back and looked at her younger brother.
This time Princess Anyang's face was extremely serious, and she asked again: "Little brother, if you become the ruler of the Great Zhou one day, can you promise me two things?"
"Let alone two things, even if it's ten or a hundred things, I won't even blink an eye!"
The Ninth Prince patted his chest. Whether he could become the master of the Great Zhou this time would depend mainly on how his sister operated.
Of course he had to obey his sister's orders at this time.
Princess Anyang nodded and said solemnly, "First, I hope you can be a wise ruler and not be like our father."
"No problem!" The Ninth Prince answered straightforwardly. Is this difficult? It’s so simple, okay!
Princess Anyang looked at the Ninth Prince deeply before she made her second request.
"Secondly, I hope you will trust General Bai Qi at all times. Trust him as much as you trust me!"
"Don't play any tricks on me. Once the rabbit dies, the running dog will be cooked!"
"General Bai Qi is not only my sister's savior, but also your future support for whether you can sit firmly on the throne!"
“Can you do that?”
This is what Princess Anyang really wanted to say. Bai Qi was the man she admired most, and the Ninth Prince was her closest relative in the world.
As a woman, Princess Anyang certainly hopes that her dream lover can live in harmony with her family, and even help and benefit each other.
"Don't worry, sister. General Bai Qi is also the person I respect the most!"
The Ninth Prince patted his chest loudly. The person he needed to rely on most now was Bai Qi, and Bai Qi had an unclear relationship with his sister.
Even a fool knows how to answer my sister’s question.
“I hope you can remember the promise you made today!”
Princess Anyang gave another instruction and then turned and left. Suddenly, an inexplicable voice appeared in her heart.
What if one day, my younger brother turns against General Bai Qi!
How should she choose?
"Brother, General, Anyang hopes that you two can really get along well with each other!"
Princess Anyang felt expectant for a moment, and then a hint of joy appeared in her eyes. No matter what the future holds, she has helped Bai Qi today.
"I, Anyang, will never let the general become a criminal condemned by all the people!"
……………………
In the palace.
After the Emperor of the Great Zhou came out from the Three Priests, although he was beaten badly, his injuries healed quickly after taking the special elixir in the palace.
Immediately, the Emperor of the Great Zhou summoned a dozen concubines to drink and have fun together.
For a while, the bedroom was bustling with beautiful women.
One of the concubines asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, I heard that Bai Qi led his troops back to the capital. Your Majesty, instead of summoning all the ministers to respond to the countermeasures, you are hanging out with me and others. Isn't this a big mistake?"
They were also afraid that Bai Qi would break into the palace, and that the fate of these noble concubines would be even more miserable!
"My little beauty, what are you afraid of? The Third Priest has already agreed to take action! Even if Bai Qi has three heads and six arms, he can't make any waves!"
The Emperor of the Great Zhou did not think so. Since the three priests had already agreed to take action, what was there for him to worry about?
"My beloved ones, keep drinking and dancing!"
"We're going to get drunk!"
He had just suffered so much at the hands of the three priests, so of course he had to take advantage of this time to have some fun.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou picked up a pot of wine and drank and danced with his concubines, looking so cool.
Even the eunuch standing by couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
...........
Ahead.
After leaving Tongguan City, Bai Qi walked down along the Yellow River and soon arrived at a city.
Bai Qi and his men had not yet informed the generals defending the city, but you spoke up in advance: "Excuse me, is this General Bai Qi down there?"
"Yes! Exactly!"
Bai Qi held the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, ready for battle.
The next moment, the city gate opened directly, and the generals on the city saluted towards Bai Qi and said: "We respectfully welcome General Bai Qi!"
"We respectfully welcome General Bai Qi!"
The soldiers guarding the city below also responded in unison, and even the common people spontaneously stood on both sides of the road to welcome them!
this!
Bai Qi was a little confused!
The general guarding the city hurried down the city wall and greeted Bai Qi respectfully while explaining:
"Ten years ago, Beiliang took advantage of the ice on the Yellow River to raid the Great Zhou and break through this city. It was General Yue who risked his own life to rush to our aid and save the people."
"Today, General Yue was framed by a tyrant. We are waiting day and night for someone to redress General Yue's injustice!"
"General, please return to Beijing and rescue Marshal Yue!"
"General, please return to Beijing and rescue Marshal Yue!"
"General, please return to Beijing and rescue Marshal Yue!"
The common people and soldiers roared in anger, and even took out the only remaining white flour buns and bacon in their homes and stuffed them into the hands of Bai Qi and his group.
Bai Qi's uncle's eyes were wet at this moment.
And my cousin Zhang Qingye also felt honored to marry into the Yue family.
As long as you have the people in your heart, the people will never forget you!
"Brother Yunlei, Marshal Yue, hold on, I will be back to Beijing soon!" Zhang Qingye murmured in his heart.
Bai Qi waved his hand and galloped quickly with 30,000 cavalrymen, "Capital, here I come!"
