At this moment, I suddenly remembered something: "Mr. Zhang, when did you receive that letter?"
Zhang Ziyu thought for a while and said, "It's been seven or eight days."
“…”
When I heard this, my brows immediately frowned.
In seven or eight days, it should be the letter written by Liu Qinghan when he was in Taiyuan. Calculate it and sent it to Linfen, which is almost the same time.
I still remember that when I arrived outside the window of his room that day, I saw him writing several letters. I personally sealed a letter to Brother Zhao. He also showed me other letters, but I didn't see the letter sent to Linfen to Shanxi General Zhang Ziyu. I think he must have hid the letter and only showed me other letters of the dispatch.
Just thinking about this, my heart sank.
Although when Pei Yuanhao asked me, I also thought it would be better to go to Pingyang than to go to Xihe, if he had his own opinion, he could tell me that it was a fact that Linfen is now being attacked from three sides, and I could definitely help him convince the emperor.
Why should I hide this from me?
Seeing my brows frowning and a solemn expression, Zhang Ziyu said, "Miss Yan... do you have any concerns?"
“…”
I was silent for a moment, looked up at him, shook my head and said, "Nothing."
Of course, Zhang Ziyu knew that my words were not the truth, so he didn't delve into it. Instead, he looked at me silently for a while and said, "Miss Yan, did Mr. Liu really just leave in advance?"
I looked at him and said, "Mr. Zhang asked this, must be because he knew something, right?"
He thought for a while and said, "Recently, many refugees have come to Linfen, and they are singing some strange songs."
“…”
"At the beginning, I didn't care much, but-"
"Then, what does Lord Zhang think about this?"
"There is no wind and no waves."
"Does Lord Zhang also think that Qinghan's plan is ill-gotten? If he really thinks this way, why should he write to Lord Zhang? The suggestions in the letter are beneficial to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Miss Yan misunderstood. What I said about the wind and waves, does not mean the lyrics."
“…”
“It’s that song.”
“…”
Zhang Ziyu said: "People will sing for no reason, but they will not sing for no reason. There is a big problem with the purpose of this song."
My heart sank slightly.
Zhang Ziyu's words are right. People will sing with others for boredom, boredom, or even for no reason. However, making a song is much more troublesome than singing casually. And the singer must also express it with emotion and write it with emotion, so that Cohen can take the form of a song.
In any case, the song "The Emperor's Out of the Three Rivers" is not like those refugees who are not fed and have no peace of mind. The words in it are not vulgar. Even from some details, the singers have a considerable understanding of Liu Qinghan.
From the current situation, because of a song, the trust between Pei Yuanhao and Liu Qinghan has completely fallen apart. In order to avoid another conflict with the generals, Qinghan was forced to leave.
If the person who makes songs has a purpose, then the reality is that this is the result of that song.
And the singer-songwriter-
I sighed lightly.
It's just a song.
Even without dispatching a soldier, an arrow and a knife, the forces of the two sides had already fallen apart. Now Linfen is facing three attacks, no one knows what the outcome will be after this battle.
I said, "Since Lord Zhang said that, then it is obvious that Lord Zhang has already understood who the singer is."
He said: "Whoever did this is naturally depends on who benefits the most after the work is done. Now it seems that Mr. Liu has been forced to leave, and His Majesty has arrived in Linfen as planned, and Linfen is about to face three-way attacks. It is clear who will benefit the most."
I nodded silently.
but……
I looked at him and seemed to have something to say, but no one spoke first.
After a while of silence, Zhang Ziyu said: "The one in the capital has also put a lot of effort into the current situation, so this time, this time, the three-way attacks Linfen, I am afraid that all the elites will emerge-"
I stepped forward and said, "Mr. Zhang is sure to win?"
After saying this, I hesitated for a moment, and I felt a little regretful and silenced.
On the battlefield, who can say that he can win? Who dares to call himself the ever-victorious general? Zhang Ziyu just said that three-way attacks will inevitably lead to all the elites. Obviously, he has already said it very thoroughly. In fact, I should also understand what he meant. He wanted me to think of a solution to Liu Qinghan, but I was too worried about the safety of the people in the city, especially Miaoyan, and it was really a joke to say this.
Zhang Ziyu glanced at me, and his eyes showed some disappointment.
And just then, Eunuch Yu walked from the side and said, "Mr. Zhang, the emperor is waiting for you."
Zhang Ziyu hurriedly turned around and said, "Thank you, my father-in-law, please go here."
After saying that, he glanced at me, nodded, and then turned around and left. Eunuch Yu looked at me, and hurriedly turned around and followed.
But I stood there until their backs disappeared from sight and did not leave. The words Zhang Ziyu said just now echoed in my mind. When I was silent with the two of them, a trace of ethereal thoughts that appeared slightly in my mind, but were faint and uncatchable.
It is clear who will benefit the most from this result.
It's so clear...

Before I knew it, I was busy all day. When I returned to Chang Qing's residence, I realized that the dusk was dark and lanterns were hung under the eaves of all the surrounding courtyards.
However, the bright red light emitted by the lanterns was a little bloody this evening.
As soon as I stepped into the room, my whole body became softer and just came over to support me. It was at this time that I remembered that I was still a patient. My pale face scared Miaoyan again. Fortunately, Chang Qing helped me coax her and hurriedly sent someone to bring me soup and rice. I snored and finally became a little more energetic.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then, I and Chang Qing coaxed Miaoyan to sleep.
Although this child has seen many disasters caused by war from the capital, she has never experienced a physical battle in person, nor has she realized what she was about to face. She is just happy to stay with Pei Yuanhao and me. She is also particularly well-behaved tonight, wrapped in a quilt, and fell asleep with a smile on her lips in a short while.
I got up and tucked her quilt.
When she turned around, Chang Qing had already made it into the chair outside, and it could be seen that she was still worried.
I put down the curtains beside the bed, and then walked out gently. Chang Qing asked Kuanger to put a cup of tea on the table. I walked over and sat down, and picked up the cup of hot tea.
It was not until this time that the two of us had a little free time to talk.
She looked at me and said, "You have really decided?"
I took a sip of tea, looked at my haggard look in the tea, and smiled bitterly: "Even if I regret it, it's too late. My people are gone."
She said, "I thought, I also thought, you should take Miaoyan away."
I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "Forget it. First of all, I also know that Miaoyan will definitely be fooled and refuse to leave; secondly, when Qinghan left, he actually told me that I would wait for him in Linfen. I think he had some foreseeable expectations for today's things, so I decided to stay here and wait for him."
Chang Qing was silent for a while, then said, "But now, I should apologize to you - or through you, to Mr. Liu."
I looked up at her and she said softly: "Before, I was really worried about him, especially since he had been trying to influence the emperor's itinerary. I even thought that he wanted to control the emperor through some means, so I said those words to you. Now it seems that I judge the gentleman with the heart of a villain."
I hurriedly said, "Empress, don't say that."
"He is right."
“…”
"Linfen, it seems that the emperor really shouldn't have come."
I put down the teacup and whispered: "It's useless to say this now. The Queen shouldn't take this matter too much. He - he never cared about what others think. Being able to handle some things well may be the greatest comfort for him."
Chang Qing said: "You said that when he left, he asked you to wait for him in Linfen? Then would he still do it-"
I nodded.
She couldn't help but smile a little on the corner of her mouth: "If this happens, maybe the emperor will be under less pressure."
I also smiled: "Maybe."
However, when recalling his attitude when he talked to Pei Yuanhao during the day, although everyone can see that Qinghan’s previous suggestions were correct, Pei Yuanhao still insisted on his own perception and refused to trust him at all.
Although Pei Yuanhao has a strong temper and even violent temper, I have known it for a long time, he has never been a stubborn person.
This time, his firm attitude surprised me a little.
I talked to Chang Qing for a while, and seeing that I was sleepy, Chang Qing asked Kouer to take me back to her room to rest, and she also went to rest.
No words all night.
Early the next morning, although I was still very tired, I still forced myself to get up early in the morning.
Guer brought hot water. After I finished washing up, I woke up a little more. I heard that it was very quiet outside and asked, "Why is it so quiet outside today?"
Guer put the food on the table and said, "I heard that last night, Lord Zhang had issued a decree to close several gates of Linfen, and all the martial law in the city were also in the city. The soldiers and horses in several barracks outside the city were mobilized early this morning."
"So fast?"
