Chapter 47 Wu

In July, there were several rare rainstorms in Yanjing, and the water levels of the Gaoliang River, Yongding River and other rivers flowing through the capital skyrocketed, directly affecting the lives of the people in the capital. Zhang Wenqian, Guo Shoujing and others led 50,000 migrant workers to fight day and night He sticks to the flood control construction site, and Zhen Jin goes to the construction site to inspect the construction site every day, and dare not relax at all. It happened that the emperor Basiba returned to Beijing, and for the sake of the people in the capital, Basiba held a grand ceremony in Fayuan Temple outside the capital. Tens of thousands of monks and believers participated in the chanting in the rain.On that day, the torrential rain stopped suddenly, and there was light rain in the sky.

The next day, it rained and the sky cleared.Kublai Khan asked about the signs of natural disasters, and Phagsiba replied after calculation: I am afraid that the situation in Yunnan will change.Kublai Khan hurriedly sent envoys to Yunnan to inquire about news.Recently, he has not received any news from Yunnan, and he is also somewhat puzzled.The messenger left and turned back, bringing back a woman who was full of travel and life, holding a golden batch token. The woman is the breeze. Kublai Khan didn't know about the changes in Yunnan until this time.Hu Gechi is kind and gentle, and he was constrained by Marshal Bao Heding when he went to Yunnan.Qingfeng didn't know about Hugechi's grievances, because Hugechi never told her any unpleasant things.

Usually, Qingfeng doesn't leave home, but only works in the palace to teach her husband and children.After the nine princesses got married, Qingfeng found that she was pregnant again, and missed her relatives even more, so she sent a reliable family to send her two-year-old son Queji back to Yanjing, so that he could meet his ancestors whom he had never met before. Khan and grandfather. Hugechi's excessive kindness fueled Baoheding's ambition.Baohe Ding knew very well that the mountains in Yunnan were high and the land was far away, so it would not be a problem to establish his own independent kingdom here.He first used his beauty to win over and control the broad belts of the six Shangshu books, and then reached a secret agreement with some dissident tribal leaders, agreeing that after he obtains absolute rule over Yunnan, he will allow these tribal leaders to continue to have the old Power, do not claim to be ministers, do not pay tribute, and still act independently.

After everything was properly arranged, Baoheding set up a banquet at the Marshal's Mansion and sent someone to invite Hu Gechi. On this day, the back garden of the Wang Mansion had just been completed. Brother Hu Chi was visiting "Wangqing Mountain" and "Qingfeng Pavilion" with Qingfeng. The two were still discussing to have dinner at "Qingfeng Pavilion". Although Hu Gechi didn't want to go, but considering that Baoheding was rarely so attentive, if he refused, Baoheding would feel ashamed, so he reluctantly agreed to go to the banquet. Parting, Hu Gechi told Qingfeng to go to bed first, he must go early and return early.

Qingfeng couldn't sleep, she kept walking up and down the mansion, waiting for her husband to return.For some reason, she always had an ominous premonition. It was getting late, Qingfeng walked out of the palace and lingered at the door.Suddenly, a figure appeared in the darkness. With the faint light of the lantern on the top of the door, Qingfeng recognized that the person who came was the guard who went to the Marshal's Mansion with Hu Gechi for a banquet. The guards didn't care about saluting, and pushed Qingfeng back to the mansion. "Princess, something has happened!" He said in a hoarse voice.

"Where is the prince?" Qingfeng was dizzy for a while. "My lord, he..." The guard's voice choked for a moment, and he continued hastily, "Bao Heding and Kuo Kuo Dai had a plan long ago, and they poisoned the lord's wine. When I went to pick up the lord, I saw the marshal The people from the mansion carried the prince to the guest room. They told me that the prince was drunk and they wanted to help the prince back to the guest room to rest. I was worried, so I followed them. Fortunately, the prince was still conscious at this time. When I served the prince to lie down When he was not paying attention, he put my finger into his mouth, the flesh in his mouth was all rotten, and I understood everything immediately. But at that time, I could only pretend to be ignorant, excuse Go to prepare a sedan chair for the prince so that he can take him back to the mansion, and then escape from the marshal's mansion. The princess, Bao Heding and Kuo Kuo will not let them go, they will definitely come to clean the palace and kill everyone. Our There are too few people, you are no match for them, you must run away, go back to Yanjing, ask the Great Khan to mobilize the army, and avenge the prince!"

Before the guard's words fell, he heard someone from outside the house calling his horse and raising his sword and gun at the same time.The guards led their family members against the gate of the mansion desperately, just to buy some more time for Qingfeng.The maid protected Qingfeng and fled from the back garden to the back mountain.Baoheding had a large number of people, and soon chased him to the back mountain.For the sake of the young lady, the maid did her best to lure away the pursuers, and Qingfeng was able to escape into the deep mountains, temporarily avoiding Baoheding's pursuit.

Baoheding sent people to surround the mountain without retreating, and Qingfeng hid in the mountain for ten days.The lack of food and clothing in the mountains, and her husband's unjust death made Qingfeng miserable.In a state of grief and indignation, she had a miscarriage.When she was unconscious, fortunately, a Miao doctor who went up the mountain to collect medicine found and rescued her.After learning about Qingfeng's situation, the honest Miao doctor sent Qingfeng out of the border of Yunnan at the risk of his life... Kublai Khan was enraged by the tragic death of his son, and he regretted that he had entrusted inhumane people and harmed his son.He immediately dispatched a large army to Yunnan to suppress the rebellion, and Wu Liang, who had already suffered from severe asthma, insisted on taking over the commander-in-chief seal.This famous Mongolian general has moved to Yunnan for many years, and he knows every mountain and every river in Yunnan like the palm of his hand. This time, he will put on his battle robe again to avenge his son-in-law.

Qingfeng also set off with the army.Worried that Qingfeng's health would be too much for her, Zhenjin persuaded her to stay, but Qingfeng rejected his offer.She said to Zhenjin: "In Yunnan, there are 'Wangqing Mountain' and 'Qingfeng Pavilion' built by Hugechi for me. Hugechi once said to me, 'Wangqing Mountain' is him, and 'Qingfeng Pavilion' is I, 'Wangqing Mountain' and 'Qingfengting' are together and will never be separated. Now, Hugechi has integrated with the mountains and rivers of Yunnan. He stays in that land, and I like to breathe the air there , feel his existence. No matter what, I must avenge Hu Gechi and all the dead people in the palace. I was wrong in the past. I was the princess of the king of Yunnan but never regarded Yunnan as my home. However, The people there have helped me selflessly. In the future, what I can repay them is to live with them and share fate with them, and to work with them to build Yunnan into a beautiful and peaceful place. King Yan, please and Mrs. Kuo Kuo Zhen Help me take good care of Queji, and I will come back to pick him up after Yunnan is pacified."

Knowing Qingfeng's wish, Zhenjin stopped persuading her. The army set off the next day and quickly marched towards Yunnan.Baoheding never expected that he was prepared to fight, but it was still difficult to resist Wulianghetai's soldiers, and finally ended up being defeated and captured.Kuo Kuo Dai was originally coerced by Bao He Ding, but Bao He Ding was defeated. He knew that he had committed an unforgivable crime, and he was too late to repent. Hu Gechi's body was thrown into the mountain stream behind the marshal's mansion by Baoheding's men at night, and it is unknown where it was washed by the torrent.Qingfeng had no choice but to order Baoheding's heart to be cut out by the mountain stream, and blood sacrificed to her husband and all the members of the palace who died.

Wu Lianghetai stayed temporarily, waiting for Kublai Khan to appoint a new Yunnan king and officials to take office. Before that, he had to sit in the palace to restore order in Yunnan as soon as possible. At the beginning of November, the news came that the whole territory of Yunnan was pacified. Princess Luoluo was born in Jietai Temple in Yanjing, and she was named "Miaoyan".The dead are gone, and the living are far away from the mortal world. Kublai Khan suddenly felt that he had lost a pair of children at the same time.
