176 Shame
Seeing Xuanyuan Haoling like this, Xuanyuan Chen nodded and said:
"Yes, that victory is very dangerous, if there is no Jiang family, there will be no me now"
"After burning the enemy's grain and grass camp, didn't those Huns think of taking the opportunity to wipe us out?" asked Xuanyuan Haoling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"No, that group of turtle grandsons, they were dumbfounded when they saw the grain and grass being burned, and finally under the deterrence of our 3,000 soldiers and horses bluffing, all of them surrendered and raised the white flag on the spot, and the commander handed in the surrender letter and consciously returned to the Huns" Xuanyuan Chen couldn't help but chuckle.
"You surrendered like this?" Xuanyuan Haoling was a little dumbfounded.
"Yes, the grain and grass are the rations of the Xiongnu for almost half a year, and the Xiongnu region is barren, which is very important for food. Because of this, I think about invading Beichen."
"I see, no wonder they panicked as soon as the grain and grass were burned"
"Yes, if they were all burned overnight, then they couldn't move an inch on the battlefield, so they could only admit defeat"
"So when my father and queen came, I returned to the court with the general and his wife," Xuanyuan Haoling said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen shook his head:
"No, it was the Jiang clan who won, it was the general's wife, I was just a loser, I was a sinner in Beichen"
"Father, the emperor .......," Xuanyuan Haoling wanted to speak and stopped.
Xuanyuan Chen stood up from the table and walked slowly around the room:
"I followed the general and his wife, and the remaining three thousand Jiang clan back to the palace, and it was here that my father wanted to abolish my title of crown prince"
Xuanyuan Haoling followed Xuanyuan Chen's fingers and looked at the bookshelf he was pointing to.
"And then?"
"Later, for the first time in history, my father was angry with me, so I was frightened. But the general was injured and Jiang knelt down to intercede for me, begging his father to take back his fate."
"So the imperial grandfather forgave his father?"
"Sort of, my title of crown prince is still retained, but I was imprisoned in the dark room by my father, and the secret guard beat me with a whip soaked in salt water. At that time, I was bruised, my flesh and blood were flying, and I was inhaling cold air in pain."
"Grandpa Huang is so ruthless?" Xuanyuan Haoling's eyes slipped a trace of unbearability.
When Xuanyuan Chen heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head, and then continued:
"I remember when my father asked me, does it hurt?" I nodded, thinking that my father would let me go. But I heard my father say to himself, the pain is right, but this pain of mine is not worth 90,000 lives, and I am not painful enough, because I can still nod my head, so I let the dark guard continue to smoke me. It wasn't until I was confused and felt numb all over my body, that I thought I was going to die, and I didn't stop whipping......."
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Haoling couldn't help frowning, and his eyes were full of unbearable.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Chen couldn't help but chuckle, walked up to Xuanyuan Haoling and said:
"You think I'm done?"
"Could it be that Grandpa Huang used other punishments on his father?" Xuanyuan Haoling had a hint of shock in his eyes.
"Yes, after my father beat me, he made me kneel by the window with a wound for seven days, kowtowing in the direction where 90,000 soldiers died every day to apologize. Not only that, but also give me a three-day fast," Xuanyuan Chen said without emotion.
"Uh...... , it turns out that the imperial grandfather is so stern" Xuanyuan Haoling had some heart palpitations.
Xuanyuan Chen walked to the window, looked at the endless palace outside, and slowly spoke:
"My father is not a strict person, on the contrary, he has a good temperament, but it is because of my fault that the 90,000 soldiers who killed him died in vain. That's 90,000 lives, not child's play, so I was severely punished by my father's anger."
"The Father....... Then....... Can you blame the emperor's grandfather for punishing him so heavily?" Xuanyuan Haoling said tentatively.
"Why do you want to blame, what qualifications do I have to blame, this is all I deserve, even if I let my life sacrifice those 90,000 lives, I won't blink an eyelid!" Xuanyuan Chen's momentum was like a rainbow.
"Erchen knows" Xuanyuan Haoling lowered his head and said, thought for a while and continued:
"Father, why has everything you said today never been heard of by your sons before?"
"Heh, you still want to hear about my past?" Xuanyuan Chen sneered.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Haoling hurriedly knelt down and bowed his head to admit his mistake:
"Erchen didn't dare, but it was the first time Erchen heard about the details of the battle with the Huns, so he was a little shocked."
Xuanyuan Chen stared at Xuanyuan Haoling who was kneeling on the ground, sighed and then said:
"Because I am the crown prince, if the news of the death of the 90,000 soldiers I killed is spread, do you think I am still qualified to be the emperor? Will I still be convinced and supported by the courtiers?"
"Uh....... , So the real cause of death of 90,000 soldiers, except for the imperial grandfather and the general's wife, no one knows anymore?" Xuanyuan Haoling's eyes widened.
"Yes, because the general and his wife interceded for me, and then the 90,000 soldiers died on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for the country, and I am still the high-spirited young prince" Xuanyuan Chen nodded.
"I see, it seems that the emperor's grandfather is still reluctant to abolish his father, and he was just angry at that time" Xuanyuan Haoling slowly analyzed.
"Alas, after all, I am ashamed of those 90,000 soldiers, every time I think of so many unjust souls in my midnight dream, I have palpitations and can't sleep" Xuanyuan Chen sighed.
"Father, those are all in the past, since those 90,000 soldiers are willing to follow you to the battlefield, it means that they are loyal to you with their lives, even if they die in the end, they will have no regrets" Xuanyuan Haoling persuaded.
Xuanyuan Chen waved his hand, closed his eyes vigorously and took a deep breath, and after opening his eyes, his eyes were clear again.
Turned his head and walked to the desk and sat down, then looked at Xuanyuan Haoling and said in a deep voice:
"You're right, those things are in the past, there is no need to mention the old past, I will talk to you about the marriage now, you can sit down and talk"
"Yes, Father" Xuanyuan Haoling walked to the Taishi chair on the side and sat upright.
"I just told you so many deeds of the general and his wife, I just want to tell you the status of the two of them in the court, not only the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, but even I can only be polite when I see it."
"Erchen understands, what does my father want Erchen to do?"
"The general has a deep love affair with the Jiang family all his life, only the Jiang family has a wife, and there are one son and two daughters under his knees"
"Yes"
"The eldest daughter is Concubine Xu next to me, this is well known"
"The Son Knows"
"The only son, Xu Cheng, also inherited his father's affection, and there is only one wife in the house. There is only one son under his knees, but he doesn't like the court and embarks on the road of business."
"What my father said is good, my son once wanted to win over Xu Gongzi, but he was rejected by him neither softly nor hard"
"The general's mansion is upright, and he has always maintained a neutral attitude, it's strange that you can pull it," Xuanyuan Chen chuckled.
"What the Emperor said is," Xuanyuan Haoling nodded in response.
