Monk Empress 12
Ouyang Yan suffered from a serious illness at the beginning of the year, and then he stayed in bed for a long time. Even the joy brought by the birth of his grandson could not bring him back.
By the time the child was full month old, Ouyang Yan could no longer get out of bed.
In the middle of the night of that day, he sent someone to call his daughter-in-law who was in the military camp to the house.
Of course, Ji Wan could not violate such a small request. She entered the house with a worried look on her face. As soon as she stepped in, she smelled the strong smell of medicine, which was a disgusting smell accumulated over the years. There was another vague and strange smell that a person who had been sick for a long time was about to decay.
Ouyang Yan was sitting beside the bed, staring at his daughter-in-law who was wearing men's clothes without saying a word. His eyes were bright and he didn't look like a terminally ill person.
In such a strong sense of coercion, Ji Wan looked at the old man with worry and didn't seem to feel the strange atmosphere in the room. Just like the first time we met, no matter how strong Ouyang Yan's aura was, she had never shown any timidity.
Ouyang Yan took a deep breath and pointed to the medicine bowl at the head of the bed: "After drinking it, the Ouyang family is yours."
The black medicine was still steaming.
Ji Wan still smiled: "Dad, what medicine is this?"
"Sterilization medicine."
Ouyang Yan's four words were very serious, and with a bit of change, he forced Ji Wan proudly.
Ji Wan took back the smile on her face, and her expression was instantly cold as ice: "There is still important matter in the military camp. If the Marquis is fine, Ji Wan will leave first."
After she said that, she raised her foot and left.
"You're back," Ouyang Yan's face was clear, and he laughed strangely: "If you don't have sex with my son, why are you still having that belly? Are you waiting for you to find a lover outside!"
Ouyang Yan took a breath, took a long time to calm down, and continued, "Ji Wan, you are a smart person. You don't want to have children at all. After drinking this bowl of medicine, you have no losses. You have also gained the military and political power of Longxi for nothing. In the future, I will become the emperor and you will be the queen, and I will choose a son of the concubine to succeed to the throne, and I will be the most inferior to millions of people! What's wrong with it? What's wrong with it?!"
She did not plan to have children in this life, but whether she wanted to give birth was her business, and no one could decide whether she could give birth or not. Besides, what kind of person is Ouyang Yan? Since Ji Wan came to Longxi with a high profile, he has never felt at ease with her. Who knows if there is any problem with this medicine?
Ji Wan ignored him--Ouyang Yan made a ruthless move: "Ji Wan, don't think I don't know that you and Monk Leyuan have an affair!"
His words were almost squeezed out from his teeth, and he seemed to find it difficult to say, because his daughter-in-law was not clear about him and a monk, and he had no choice.
People in the world can only roll around in it, so why should they drag the monk with six pure abilities?
"Do you know why you have repeatedly used tricks in the past three years, but I rarely fight head-on? It's not that I'm afraid of you," Ji Wan turned around. Her usual gentle mask had all faded away, her face was full of disgust and her eyes were full of impatientness, as if she was watching a jumping without knowing that a bed bug was.
"Don't you know who you are? Your marquis is not so bright, and you poison your brothers with drugs, slaughter your close relatives, and you don't even dare to take action openly, so you will harm your brothers who are open-minded. When you start to take the marquis, what do you do to rule the people? You only know how to be arrogant and extravagant, and do your best to do extravagant things. The fame accumulated by your ancestors has long been defeated by you. You don't know that it's not up to the people's will, but you'll even give up the foundation of your life----A general under your command is not full of resentment towards your Ouyang family. You still claim to be a hero, but you don't know that everyone in the world is laughing at you!"
Ouyang Yan took a deep breath, his eyes rolled up... Ji Wan didn't want to stop.
"Do you know why I promised to marry Longxi? Because there is no place for me, Ji Wan, to settle down, only your Ouyang family in Longxi, in my opinion, is a paper-made tiger. It lives up to my expectations, and it is true."
Ouyang Yan was so breathless now.
Ji Wan only felt disgusted and spat: "You look down on Ouyang Ming. In my opinion, you are not even as good as Ouyang Ming. He knows that he is timid because he is not talented, but you don't know that he always makes people laugh, but he is timid inside. Lingnue innocent and weak women to satisfy your selfish desires, and it is simply unworthy of being a human being. When you die, I, Ji Wan, will engrave the stupid things you have done in this life on your tombstone, and then carve the number of women you have harmed and the situation will make you remembered by future generations for thousands of years."
At this moment, Ouyang Yansheng burst into tears and fainted in horror.
Ji Wan quickly stepped out of the disgusting yard, took a deep breath, expelled the turbid air from her chest, and ordered the followers: "The Marquis is crazy and hurts people with a knife. No one is allowed to visit from today."
The people in Longxi were full of grievances, and it was a mess when she took over. She never thought of becoming famous in any way, so she couldn't understand Ouyang Yan and others' importance on the evaluation of later generations. Ji Wan originally ignored him. After all, although the two of them used each other, they didn't have much time to meet and spend in Longxi. It would be fine if she was willing to let him die, but he insisted on doing it. In the third year of Longxi, Ji Wan had learned to be ruthless in open and secret arrows.
***
After finishing Ouyang Yan's funeral, Ji Wan received a letter from Luoyang prefect Ji Quan, telling her the specific time of marriage between her two older sisters. Aunt Chunyu controlled the internal affairs of the prefect's mansion. Ji Wan had known about the details of Luoyang for a long time, and intervened to choose the person to marry for them. Ji Quan seemed to have gradually begun to care about her daughter in recent years. Although she knew that her eldest daughter had tampered with her, she followed the trend and did not let the concubines marry the two people he had arranged before.
Ji Wan also received letters from her two sisters. From the letter, we can see that they were in a good mood, but they also had hidden worries about getting married. That was a vague idea of a girl who was about to marry. Ji Wan finished reading the letter carefully and replied to her two sisters.
When Ji Wan sent someone to deliver the letter, the monk who was ready to go was waiting at the door. Speaking of which, she had not seen the monk for three months. Seeing a shadow could not suppress her excitement. She put down her pen in front of the desk and crawled out through the open window.
The monk held his back to her with his back, and when he heard the sound, he turned around, and his expression on his face was very wonderful... Now the actual ruler in Longxi is stuck in the window.
In fact, most of the windows in Longxi are very spacious, and it is not difficult to accommodate a small Ji Wan. However, this place where Ji Wan works all year round, and there was an assassination a year ago, which was borrowed from. For safety reasons, this window has been particularly smaller.
Leyuan slapped the window with a palm, split the reinforced wood in half, and carried the girl out like a child.
Ji Wan: "…I have gained weight recently."
She was not afraid of meat and vegetables on weekdays, and the girl with a mouthful of beauty turned red with shame. The monk couldn't bear to laugh at her anymore. She was excited to jump out of the window to greet her because she hadn't seen him for a long time. Such a childish emotion made the monks not want to blame them.
Ji Wan handles important matters every day and has worked harder for Ouyang Yan's death recently. How could she get fat?
Monk: "It's all because of the window frame."
Ji Wan smiled.
Monk: "Do you eat vegetarian steamed buns?"
Monks are good at making vegetarian food, and monks have a brilliant heart. The vegetarian food he makes is extremely delicious. Originally, it is extremely bad to eat without saying anything or sleep, and eating while sitting is extremely bad, but the feeders don’t care, and the people who eat are not aware of it, so there is nothing left.
It was only then that Ji Wan realized she was hungry, so she ate a white and fat steamed bun with tea.
While eating, he talked to the monk in a vague way: "Is he going to Dunhuang?"
Monk: "It's time to leave for three years."
Ji Wan swallowed her last bite of steamed bun: "Then let's go today, I'll send you to Dunhuang."
Ji Wan certainly did not make this decision at once, but was thought out carefully and would not be rejected by the young monk. In this derivative world, if Luoyang is the only holy place left for Buddhists who are surviving, and White Horse Temple is a concentration camp for Buddhists to participate in secular struggles, which is a manifestation of politics. Then Dunhuang, the origin of Buddhism, is a place of piety for the soul.
What should people like Leyuan stay in Luoyang for? Dunhuang is where he should go.
Ji Wan went to Dunhuang this time and publicly dispatched troops to condemn generals, which meant to seize the place in one fell swoop. She had been planning for three years to include everything east of Dunhuang within her sphere of influence.
This was the first time that the monk saw her hand stained with blood, and quickly connected Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Xiping, Jincheng and Longxi in an invincible manner. Wherever her soldiers and generals went, the people in the barren land could barely fill their stomachs.
With heavy taxes and layered exploitation, the northwest is already poor and even hunger is everywhere.
Having arrived in Dunhuang, the Dunhuang prefect fought against Ji Wan's army with the unarmed people as shields. Hearing that Ji Wan from Longxi brought food to unite and opened the city to greet him. It was also considered that the inhumane Dunhuang prefect slapped him hard.
The war has subsided, and Ji Wan has no time to stay.
"You see it. From now on, I will make a sharp sword, and the sharpness can hurt people," Ji Wan smiled and said to him cautiously: "So, in the future! You must protect yourself well and never sacrifice yourself for justice easily. You are my Ji Wan's scabbard. With you here, I will always remember the original intention of lifting the sword, always examine your words and deeds, and be cautious of being arrogant and impatient. If you are not here, I will be the same as the princes in the world."
At this moment, the look of Leyuan looking at her was extremely complicated. He didn't think what Ji Wan said was true. This girl covered in blood... threatened him with this, so he could only bear it and could not easily sacrifice herself to become a Buddha.
"Amitabha! I have received the teachings."
The world is about to be in chaos, and they are all fighting for power and profit, and they are holding swords in their hands. The princes of the world simply want to use the blood of some people to obtain supreme power. The only difference lies in their different beliefs, and most people think about sacrifice.
And Ji Wan always thinks about saving.
