Chapter 68 [No Return]
In the thirty-seventh year of Taihe, in the middle of the summer, 60,000 soldiers of Dayong arrived in Huifu, won the first battle with Persia, and held the capital of Huifu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the good news reached the county capital, the people all applauded, and the words were insulting Persia and other states, and the 200,000 troops still could not reach the 60,000 soldiers and horses in Dayong District, and the proud look was overflowing.
The Dayong court, which received the news earlier, was also shocked, although they all knew in their hearts that the number of Persian troops who finally captured the capital city was only less than 100,000, and the rest were sent by Persia to garrison the occupied city of Hui, but they were still at a disadvantage in this battle, and they could still win more with less.
A few people are happy and a few are sad.
It's just that this joy and sorrow only lasted for two or three small battles.
After surviving the predicament of the initial Persian army crushing the city, the Hui court retreated to the east, reorganized the army and gathered Dayong reinforcements to regain the lost territory.
In early autumn, the osmanthus in the county capital was full of flowers, and a bad news quietly entered the palace, Emperor Dayong had been resting in the vertical arch hall, but the bad news was like thunder, the emperor trembled and pointed to the messenger, and lowered his voice,
"Really?"
"Your Majesty, it's true, General Qi has suppressed this matter and lied that the crown prince was injured and returned to Shuofang to recuperate. ”
For a while, the five flavors were mixed, and the emperor, who had already grown his temples, sat down on the bed and was distracted.
The messenger was worried about the Holy Sacrament, but he did not dare to say more, and there were only two of them in the arching hall, and the atmosphere was unusually depressing.
After a long time, the emperor said, "Why don't you see it?" as if asking the messenger, and as if talking to himself.
Prince Dayong, Yao Zhen, Taihe 37 years, leap June 18, disappeared when Hui regained the lost land Lecheng, Zhenguo General Qi Long suppressed the matter, sent his cronies to whip the horse day and night to play the day and listen, all the soldiers and even Du Xun only knew that the prince was injured and sent back to Shuo Fang for treatment.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, the Dayong soldiers lost their commander, although there were two veterans of Qi Long and Du Xun to turn the tide, the front-line war still became more anxious, and the situation that was already gradually gaining the upper hand under the heavy pressure began to be unclear, and there was a faint possibility of being forced by Persia again.
Emperor Dayong was unusual, did not wait for the front line to ask for reinforcements, and increased his troops by 100,000, but did not mention the prince who was recuperating from his injuries in Shuofang, neither complained nor praised, and the situation was unknown.
This battle is not over until the seventh day of the seventh month of July, the blood of the great sons and daughters is sprinkled in a foreign land, the lamentation is loud, the Qixi Festival, Dayong has not even built a bridge with magpies in previous years, there is a grand scene of lovers meeting, and the street market with lanterns looks a little depressed.
The trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and the news of the prince's disappearance still leaks out.
The first to know about it is the major famous families, and there are different opinions about the reliability of the news.
After the early dynasty dispersed, more than a dozen ministers who supported the prince found Xiao Taishi's mansion to find out. However, Master Xiao himself didn't know the truth, and he was worried in his heart, how could he give these people a comfort?
Xiao Weiyu wanted to directly refuse the visitor, but Xiao Taishi sighed, pressed Xiao Weiyu, opened the door of the mansion, and invited several ministers in, but he did not swear to promise these people anything, but analyzed the situation and waited for them to make a decision.
There is no emotion above the court.
Taishi Xiao will not bind them with the affection of teachers and students, nor will he use the monarch and ministers to bind them.
Because they do not represent individuals, but the rise and fall of a clan.
Several ministers said: "Students don't dare to make mistakes." But he still didn't leave, he must have forced Taishi Xiao to tell the whereabouts of the prince.
"A few adults, please go back, my father has made it very clear, and he doesn't know the truth, you might as well go back to the house and consider a way out. ”
Xiao Weiyu stood up to catch up with the guests, and his words were straightforward, which made those people angry, and it didn't work anymore if they didn't leave, and said, "The student is guilty." "They are scattered, and it is not known what their families will choose after this day.
After closing the door of the mansion, Xiao Taishi's center of gravity was unstable and he stumbled, but fortunately, Xiao Weiyu quickly held on to his eyes and hands to prevent him from falling. The father and son supported them back to the wing, and Mrs. Xiao was already in tears:
"The old man has been honest and fair all his life, and the same is true for teaching and educating people, and he has never hated heaven and earth, nor has he insulted the Buddha, but he has ended up in such a field, heh, what a sin, isn't it enough to take the life of Sister Ying?
Talking about Queen Xiao Xiao Xiuying, Xiao Weiyu's younger brother also had red eyes, "Dad, my son is going back to find Zhen'er, the eldest sister will definitely bless him in the spirit of the sky." ”
"You are not allowed to go, Hugh will add to the chaos!"
Xiao Taishi didn't catch his breath, choking and coughing, Xiao Weiyu hurriedly followed the promise, fed Xiao Taishi a calming decoction, personally served and lay down, and when Xiao Taishi fell asleep, Xiao Weiyu stole Xiao Taishi's patriarchal token, simply packed up his baggage, and left Taishi's mansion.
Although there is no exact source, judging from the performance of the ministers just now, the news of the disappearance of the prince is not groundless, otherwise the prince would not have sent a letter to his family for so long.
You must know that the princess has been going to the red sleeves every day to find Qin Wai to complain that the prince has no conscience, and he has not known his news for a long time.
Xiao Weiyu hated himself for being stupid, a few streets away, looked deeply in the direction of the red sleeves, and turned his head to go on the road without looking back, he had to bring the prince back.
It's not for the sake of any national society, the honor and disgrace of the world, it's just that only when the prince comes back, he can live a messy life, and Taishi Xiao won't be doing nothing all day long just staring at him, so that he can have the opportunity to marry Qin Cry, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to find that bastard boy.
Therefore, the prince must live well, live well!
Xiao Weiyu hurried to Qizhou Mansion, where the Xiao family was founded.
The Xiao family's hundred-legged insect is broken but not broken, dead but not stiff, he needs someone to help him.
Some people want the prince to come back safely, and naturally some people want the prince to die completely in a foreign country. The Jiang family's Taifu Mansion led by him was beaming with joy in the past two days.
A Jiang Taifu learned from Shi Xizai's letter that the prince had indeed disappeared for a long time, which was comparable to the Jiang family suddenly erecting a ladder to climb the clouds, all the conspiracies were not needed, and it became a natural thing for the prince of Muyang to become the emperor;
Second, Jiang Luxian, the prince's concubine who didn't have much hope, was pregnant, and the happy pulse has been more than three months, and the time is indeed before the prince leaves, so that the future court is basically the world of his Jiang family.
Taishi Xiao's old thing will definitely not be able to stand all this depression and end up, Jiang Taifu woke up from a dream with a smile, looking at his 'simple' bedroom with disgust, his underground palace may no longer be able to hide in the shadow of Tai'a Palace in the near future.
