Chapter 436 The King of a Lost Nation
Lin Qianning went to take care of Cao Yizhao, originally wanting to share her son's worries. After hearing what Wei Qingyan said, she hurriedly said, "I won't be going over anymore, and don't tell Yu'er, okay?"
Wei Qingyan promised Lin Qianning, but later asked someone to find out what happened in the morning.
After hearing this, his whole face turned dark.
Cao Yizhao not only refused to apply medicine, he even refused to go to the toilet and peed in his pants. When the servants changed his pants, he howled so loudly that half of the prince's mansion could hear it.
Lin Qianning also went over after hearing the howls that were getting louder and louder.
The two servants were sweating profusely after helping Cao Yizhao change his clothes amid his crying. Seeing this, Lin Qianning stepped forward to help.
He didn't want to be slapped a few times by Cao Yizhao's wave of his hand.
Although Cao Yizhao is an idiot and his legs and feet are like a child, his upper body is that of an adult man over 20 years old, so he is naturally very strong.
Wei Qingyan only saw bruises on his wrists, and he was probably afraid that the places on his body where he was beaten were also bruised.
Lin Qianning had been trapped for so many years and her health was not good, so she asked Wu Qiu to bring Jing Yang to see her.
He then sent people to Princess Qingwu's mansion to borrow four concubines with good skills.
It was only after getting to know Qing Wu that Wei Qingyan found out that many of the men in her mansion were disciples of declining sects in the martial arts world, and they were paid monthly wages for serving as men in the mansion.
On weekdays, when there is nothing to do at home, they want to go out and earn some extra money, and Qingwu allows it.
Cao Yizhao had cried and made a fuss before, but not as seriously as this time. For some reason, Wei Qingyan had a feeling that he was a little abnormal this time.
So he gave up the idea of ​​transferring eunuchs over and directly hired four people with good skills. If he had any problems, those four people could be used to guard him.
If she was overthinking it, it would be easier for someone with martial arts skills to take care of him than for an ordinary servant.
The four concubines also earned extra money.
When Shi Yu returned to his room after finishing his work at night, she told him about this matter, "I don't know if I am overthinking it, he acted abnormally this time, as if he wanted to prove that he is a fool.
But his behavior of defecating directly on her body made me think that he was a real idiot. How could a normal man with some shame do this?
By the way, has Chun Xing gotten any results? "
Shi Yu was worried that Chi Lie would come again, so he met with ministers and handled government affairs in the study today. However, after he finished his work, the secret guards informed him of everything that happened in the mansion.
Therefore, before returning to the room, he went to see Lin Qianning and told her, just like Wei Qingyan, that she didn't need to take care of Cao Yizhao anymore before returning to the room.
He drank the tea that Wei Qingyan hadn't finished in one gulp and said, "Chun Xing told me that Cao Yizhao has been like this since he was a child."
During the interrogation at the Dali Temple, it was unlikely that Chun Xing lied, and Cao Yizhao was raised by Chun Xing. If he was pretending, Chun Xing would not have been able to fail to notice.
Thinking of this, Wei Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief.
At night, Shi Yu heard the servants report that Cao Yizhao was crying again, so he went there in person.
When she saw him, Cao Yizhao held his hand and cried as she did before.
Shi Yu patted his shoulder and said, "I'm quite busy these days. Be good and don't make trouble, otherwise I will send you to the palace and let the palace servants take care of you."
It was not known whether he understood or the four lovers in the princess's mansion took good care of him, but after that, Wei Qingyan never heard of him crying again.
But she was worried about another thing. Abu did not come back as previously agreed. Wei Qingyan was worried that something had happened in Wei.
Instead, the old Zongzheng and others arrived and came to ask Shi Yu to ascend the throne as emperor immediately.
If Wei Qingyan didn't know Feng Zhao's current situation, she would naturally not interfere, but now she didn't want Shi Yu to bear the reputation of a king who lost his country.
He then informed the old clan leader that Feng Zhao's fate was approaching.
The old Zongzheng's face turned pale after hearing this. "Is what the Crown Princess said serious?"
Qing Wu, who had rushed over after hearing the news, said, "Uncle Huang, if you look at Feng Zhao right now, you will know whether what the Crown Princess said is true or not.
I just received a tip-off that Chi Lie is attacking the third city again. Lin Lanting is having a hard time dealing with it, but it's not because he is incompetent.
But in recent years, Lin Wanzhi has valued treachery over military service. Not only have the soldiers not received much training, but even their equipment has not been replaced for a long time.
Because Lin Lanting went there secretly this time, he brought few soldiers with him, so he could only use the local garrison, but the soldiers had been idle for many years..."
Qing Wu sighed, "Lin Lanting is a skilled housewife, but it's difficult for her to do what she wants. Ultimately, Qing Wu has failed to live up to the trust placed in her by her brother, the Emperor. Her vision is limited, and she only focused on the court. She never anticipated that Feng Zhao, who thought he was so powerful, would face an invasion from outside."
"If you say so, wouldn't this king be even more ashamed?"
The old patriarch's brows were gloomy.
He was Qingwu's elder, and was cared for by both the late emperor and the late emperor, which allowed him to live a peaceful life of wealth and honor until old age. Wasn't he also living a comfortable life in the false illusion of prosperity woven by Lin Wanzhi?
"Feng Zhao's current situation is Lin Wanzhi's fault. We, the royal family members and civil and military officials, are all responsible.
Only the prince, who had been plotted against and separated from his country since he was young, and had never received any favor from Feng Zhao, came back to remove the cancer for Feng Zhao.
Now this mess is also on his shoulders, and the prince has never shirked it. What difference does it make whether he is the crown prince or the king?
If Feng Zhao were to face such a fate, Qing Wu would not want him to be recorded in history books as a king who lost his country."
She knelt and saluted the old clan leader, "I hope the emperor will have mercy on the prince."
The old patriarch helped her up and sighed, "If you say so, I don't have the face to force him. Forget it, let's wait until this crisis is over."
But can Feng Zhao really survive this crisis?
The old patriarch's heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, his shoulders drooped, and his face instantly looked many years older.
Wei Qingyan felt reluctant, but there was nothing he could do.
It is not easy for Shi Yu to unify the world. People like the old Zongzheng will probably be the first to oppose Feng Zhao's incorporation into the Wei Dynasty.
Only by letting them see Feng Zhao's current situation clearly can they understand Shi Yu's painstaking efforts and give him support in the future.
Shi Yu's ascension to the throne was temporarily put on hold.
Also on hold were the marriages of Qing Wu and Xie Rongyu, and Lin Lanting and Wei Shijun. The sudden outbreak of war disrupted all the peace.
After losing two cities in a row, the reinforcements brought by the old marquis were still on the way. When the news that the third city was in danger was passed back to the imperial city, the people in the imperial city were in panic.
Those who originally did not support Xiao Zhian's efforts to raise food and fodder, but mocked him and even disrupted the situation because of his status, now have stopped.
Lin Guozhang was the first to take the lead and donated most of the grain stored in the mansion.
The old lady of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery hated Lin Wanzhi, but she also remembered that Xiao Zhian was Xiao Pei's son, and Xiao Pei had done her mansion a favor, so she became the second person to donate grain.
Regardless of the soldiers' fighting ability, at least they need to have enough food to have the strength to fight the enemy. Gradually, other wealthy families and officials also donated food.
They also understand that when the nest is destroyed, no eggs will be left intact.
Zhi Fengzhao has long been reduced to a mere shell, and these donated grains are far from enough.
Xiao Zhian then turned his attention to the bandits. When Shi Yu heard that he was going to lead people to rob the bandits, he did not stop him. In addition to giving him some people openly, he also secretly sent some secret guards to protect him.
Therefore, the first time was surprisingly smooth. In addition to robbing a lot of food and jewelry from the bandits' nest, they also learned a piece of news from the bandits' nest.
Over the years, Chi Lie has purchased a lot of raw iron from Feng Zhao through trade with bandits.
How did the bandits get the raw iron?
When Shi Yu checked, he found out that it was Lin Wanzhi who had done something stupid again. All the money she had earned went into her private treasury and was squandered.
Just when everyone was cursing Lin Wanzhi and the lackeys around her again, Abu finally came back.
Just as Wei Qingyan worried, something really happened in the Wei Dynasty.
