Chapter 525 The Reasons Behind the Urgent Edict

Dan Tai Hongying's vanity should be satisfied by letting Prince Rui, who is extremely proud and conceited, beg for himself like this.

But he was not happy at all.

For the first time, he had the illusion that he did not know the emperor.

He really couldn't figure out what was wrong, and it was worth the emperor to do such a confused thing.

A piece of history books will be left in the future, which will be sneered by future generations.

The emperor always wants to be a wise ruler, why did he give up on himself to this point?

Moreover, everything the emperor's affairs were under the control of Empress Dowager Qi.

Isn’t this urgent edict being sent to Empress Dowager Qi not get the letter, so didn’t stop her?

"Master, the emperor also wants to help you solve your problems. But this time, the emperor really can't understand what Your Majesty wants. The princess was in the court of the Huns, and his Majesty also said that she was loyal and would not treason.

Your Majesty also knows that it takes at least four or five days for the army to enter the palace from Baiya Town to the Xiongnu royal court. The princess must go back within six days. This... the officials really can't guess." Dan Tai Hongying said.

Xiao Jingcheng took a deep breath.

He asked Dan Tai Hongying to rest first, and he wanted to send a spy to the capital to see what the emperor was going crazy.

I am urgent to give an imperial edict. Such things must be kept in history. How does he hope that future generations will evaluate him?

Are you talking about being stupid and incompetent?

Xiao Jingcheng fell into deep thought when he looked at the urgent edict.

He planned to ignore it first and then talk about it later. The emperor also said that he was guilty of the emperor.

The crime of "deception of the king" can be either big or small, and there is no need to worry about it for the time being.

Unexpectedly, early the next morning, another urgent edict was issued.

The content is similar to the previous letter, but the tone is even more urgent.

"I will be told to Princess Chengyang to arrive in the imperial city within five days, otherwise I will be guilty of deceiving the emperor."

After a day off, I still had such a stern tone.

The generals and Dan Tai Hongying were both in the military service camp, and everyone expressed their opinions.

Everyone came to a conclusion: the emperor was crazy.

The emperor was crazy and issued such an urgent edict to discredit his reputation behind him.

"Since we have issued an urgent edict, we will also issue military orders to us, so that we can quickly crush the Huns camp."

"How can the princess be saved in the Huns?"

Everyone was talking about it.

At this moment, Xiao Jingcheng's secret guard leader He Fang suddenly came in.

He Fang gave a secret letter to Xiao Jingcheng: "Master, it is the Empress Dowager who delivers the letter."

The generals surrounded him, and they all wished they had a pair of perspectives to see clearly the contents of the Empress Dowager's letter.

At the same time, they felt at ease.

The Empress Dowager always knows why the emperor is crazy and will not let them guess randomly.

The secret credit is a code word, translated by He Fang. This is the agreement between Xiao Jingcheng and Empress Dowager Qi and his son, but they have never used it.

Today is indeed for the first time.

When I opened the letter, it was a secret letter code, so it was very simple: "Wen's critically ill, and her fetus was scattered and hemorrhaged. He was on standby on site. Without Ai's secret order, he should not enter Beijing."

Xiao Jingcheng: “…”

No wonder the emperor is crazy.

One of Xue Mei's purposes for leaving Beijing was to take the Immortal Pills and Emperor Wen Jieyu.

She has always said that the elixir contains lead, not only can it not be pregnant, but it may also make people crazy.

The emperor is so old that he tried his best to leave a son and half of his daughter for Concubine Wen, which shows that he does have true love for Concubine Wen.

After Wen Jieyu became pregnant, he probably was very happy.

Unexpectedly, things quickly changed - was it the effect of the elixir or Wen Jieyu's own problem that caused her to have heavy bleeding after miscarriage.

It was probably because the blood could not be stopped. The imperial physicians shirked responsibility and said that only Princess Chengyang could do it, so they sent someone to invite Princess Chengyang.

But the Xue Mei people were in the Huns and were beyond the reach.

If Wen Jieyu's bloody collapse could not be relieved and she would have only half a month's life, then it must be the imperial physicians who said too much, maybe it would be a few days.

If you send it urgently, it will definitely take ten days for a fast horse.

At this moment, Xue Mei came back and couldn't get back to the capital.

From Beijing to Baiya Town, even if you use Xiao Jingcheng's fast horse, it will take at least five days to change horses on the way.

Five days means that people and horses do not rest, eat, drink, or sleep.

Xiao Jingcheng can challenge him and drink water and eat some dry food on the horse's back, but can Xue Mei?

So, it's too late.

If there are other problems, you can also ask Lu Shu and Lu Wen brothers to go back and try it.

It's too late now. When the two brothers arrive in the capital, they probably can only catch up with Wen Jieyu's funeral.

As he raised his eyes, he saw that the general and Dan Tai Hongying were staring at him and waiting for him to tell the Empress Dowager's secret letter, Xiao Jingcheng cleared his throat.

"It's Concubine Wen." He said, "Concubine Wen's bloody death after miscarriage is probably not good..."

The generals were in an uproar.

For a moment, they began to curse the emperor without caring about the fact that the civil servant Dan Tai Hongying was still present.

"For a woman in the harem, I want to force us to death! Who can rush back to the capital in six days?"

"How much credit does the princess have to serve the country? He won't be rewarded. The woman in the house was sick and using such urgent edicts, wouldn't it be that the princess has surrendered to the enemy and stolen the country?"

"The foolish lord, he is not worth our hard work for him!"

"The princess is very wronged."

Xiao Jingcheng did not stop him and allowed them to vent their inner anger.

Not to mention the generals, he is the same.

Dan Tai Hongying didn't say anything.

The imperial concubine had already told him that the emperor had no rules of conduct.

In the court, you can also see some points.

The emperor's temper is getting worse and worse, and he just can't control himself.

There is another thing that Dan Tai Hongying would never dare to tell Xiao Jingcheng: This time during the New Year, the emperor insisted on staying in the Queen Mother’s Wanjing Palace on New Year’s Eve and had a big fight with the Queen Mother.

The empress dowager was so angry that she wanted to guard the last emperor and showed her "mother's" majesty, and the emperor apologized to her.

This incident also uncovered the secret between the emperor and the empress dowager at once.

There are a lot of unpleasant gossip in the court.

The Empress Dowager will not see guests in the first month of the year.

I heard that she was worried all day long and was in poor health, so she closed the gate of Wanjing Palace and prevented the emperor from entering.

She was originally in charge of the aft court affairs, but now she was all assigned to the imperial concubine, Concubine De and Concubine Shu, and she didn't care about the matter.

"Okay." Xiao Jingcheng spoke for a while and stopped the generals' words, "The order is ridiculous, so there is no need to discuss this matter anymore."

Everyone retreated, and Xiao Jingcheng left Dan Tai Hongying alone.

He told Tan Tai Hongying: "Sir, I will give you a few good war horses. I will also ask you not to say what you shouldn't say after you go back."

In the border area, the soldiers were sincerely not the emperor, but the commander.

Everyone is used to it.

How can the emperor avoid scolding him if he does such a thing?

Dan Tai Hongying originally planned to return to Beijing, but now he thought he would give up.

At this time, if he happened to meet the new mourning of Concubine Wen Jie, wouldn't the emperor be angry on him?

Dan Tai Hongying decided to delay returning to Beijing for a month.

He made such a decision, but unexpectedly received two more urgent edicts.

He still asked Xue Mei to go back quickly, and even asked her to return to the capital from Baiya Town within three days.

This is not unreasonable.

Anyone who sees such an urgent edict will suspect that there is something wrong with the emperor's mind.

After the fourth urgent edict, there was no fifth and sixth.

As for why there is no fifth and sixth letter, is it because the emperor suddenly awakened, or is it because Concubine Wen was already dead at this time?

Baiya Town still didn't know about it.

Xiao Jingcheng is also waiting for news.

After getting the news, he passed it to Xue Mei after reading it.
