Chapter 45 Co-optation
"The emperor did this because he saw that the combat effectiveness of the Long family army was too strong, so he deliberately wooed our Long family. "Thinking about how they treated our Long family before, I get a little angry.
When my father heard me say this, he also remembered all the things in the past, and his face was a little unsightly, as if he was struggling in his heart for a long time, and then said to me: "Yu'er, you have to remember one sentence, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, no matter how Emperor Xuanyuan treated our family before, you can't hold a grudge against him, and you must serve the country well in the future." β
I superficially agreed with my father's words, but in my heart I thought that no one on the earth had to say that the king wanted the minister to die, but I didn't expect that someone would say this sentence after crossing into the otherworldly continent, it was really poisoned too deeply by feudal thoughts, but I wouldn't do it.
After talking for a while, it was already dark, and after dinner, my mother saw that we were tired after such a long journey, so she hurriedly urged us to rest. Lying on the bed at home, I found that everything was so comfortable, plus I was tired for so long, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
At dawn the next day, my mother came and knocked on the door, I got dressed and opened the door, and saw my mother standing at the door, and when she saw me coming out, my mother said, "Have you slept well?" I didn't want to disturb you, I wanted you to sleep a little longer, but just now someone from the palace came to spread the word that His Majesty will reward you this morning, so let your father take you to the morning court. β
Rubbing his eyes, he said, "Well, I know, I'll go in and wash up and come out immediately." β
Turned around and went into the room to clean up, and then when I came out, my father was already waiting outside, pushing my father to wait outside the palace like last time, but no one dared to mock us anymore when I walked over this time, many people took the initiative to greet us when they saw us, and looked at these people with a flattering look, shouting disgust from the bottom of their hearts, and they didn't bother to pay attention to them, and when they saw that I ignored them, they took the initiative to talk to their father again.
Seeing them flattering and laughing with their father, I really wanted to beat them up. In the past, when the Long family was down, they were far away from our home, as if they were afraid of being affected by our family, but now they have come over to pat themselves again, and sure enough, no matter where they are, there is no charcoal in the snow, and the icing on the cake is everywhere.
After waiting for a while, the eunuch who shouted the court finally came out, just like last time, after he finished shouting the court, the ministers walked towards the main hall one after another, and when they entered the main hall, they just saw Murong Fugui and Senior Brother Yuwen, Senior Brother Yuwen took the initiative to come and greet me when he saw me, and Murong Fugui glared at me fiercely and left.
Today, Emperor Xuanyuan sat on the dragon throne early, and after everyone stood up, he spoke: "I think you all know about the repulsion of the Dream Continent, this is a happy thing, and a celebration banquet was held in the Imperial Garden in the evening, and I personally picked up the wind and washed the dust for several generals." β
Emperor Xuanyuan paused and continued: "But before holding a celebration banquet, we still have to deal with some things, Murong Fu wronged Long Tianyu for colluding with the enemy army, causing the Long family to be imprisoned for no reason, what do you say about this matter?"
After hearing what the emperor said, Murong Fu quickly knelt on the ground in fright and said, "The old minister should die, please forgive me for the sake of our Murong family's loss of tens of thousands of soldiers in this war." β
As soon as Murong Fu finished speaking, Murong Fugui also quickly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty clearly sees that all this is because I have a personal enmity with Long Tianyu and I deliberately wronged him, Your Majesty will blame me if you want to blame, please let my old man go." β
Other ministers who had personal affairs with the Murong family also knelt down and pleaded: "Please let them go this time for the sake of the Murong family's heartfelt sake." β
"Yes, there is no merit and hard work, please let them go this time for the sake of the Murong family's loss of so many soldiers in this war. β
............
"Okay, okay, see how much Murong Fugui has made some credit in this war and you will let Murong Fu go this time for the sake of your intercession for the Murong family, but there is still a little punishment, the Murong family is responsible for holding a celebration banquet at night, and all the expenses are paid by the Murong family, don't remember that there can be no next time." The emperor stopped the ministers who pleaded and said impatiently.
Then he looked at me again and said, "Long Tianyu, you have made a first-class contribution in this war, I don't know what reward you want?"
I walked out, saluted tentatively, and said, "Your Majesty, can you give any reward you want?"
Emperor Xuanyuan nodded and said, "Yes, as long as you say it, I will satisfy you." β
"Back to Your Majesty, I don't want any reward, the only request is to ask Your Majesty to allow my request to cancel my engagement with Her Royal Highness the Princess. "After that, I will wait there now for the emperor to agree.
I saw that Emperor Xuanyuan instantly became a little angry, and said: "For the sake of your great achievements, just if you haven't said this, but there can't be a next time, otherwise I will definitely pull you out and behead you." β
The father hurriedly pleaded: "Your Majesty is angry, Yu'er is still too young and not very sensible, thank Your Majesty for sparing him this time, I must discipline him well when I go back." β
Emperor Xuanyuan said: "There is one more thing, Long Tianyu, I won't care about you if you use a plan to provoke Murong Fugui to take the soldiers of the Murong family to fight with the enemy, but there can be no next time." β
I nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I promise I won't do this next time." β
After listening to Emperor Xuanyuan talk about Murong Fugui and the enemy's bloody struggle, the faces of the Murong family turned blue, and Murong Fugui whispered: "Long Tianyu, you wait, one day I will let your Long family disappear from the Dragon Continent." β
Murong Fu, who was standing nearby, heard what Murong Fugui said, and hurriedly hit him with his hand, reminding him to be careful not to be heard by others.
I was wondering in my heart, how did Emperor Lao'er know that it was Murong Fugui who was in my pit, could it be that there was a spy by my side? Impossible, Yue'er has been following me, it can't be her, the two generals are even more loyal to the Long family, it's impossible, the other soldiers of the Long family army don't know about this matter, let alone it.
Looking at my puzzled expression, Emperor Xuanyuan suddenly spoke: "You must wonder how I knew about this matter, I just happened to introduce someone to you." β
Then Emperor Xuanyuan turned to the eunuch beside him and said, "You go and invite the princess over." β
The eunuch received the order and went down, and after a while, a girl dressed in white came up and gave a salute to Emperor Xuanyuan, and then the emperor said: "This is my daughter, Princess Xuanyuan, you should know each other." β
I couldn't believe it when I heard the name and looked up, it turned out to be really Senior Sister Xuanyuan, why didn't I think of it before, in the Dragon Continent, only people from the royal family can believe in Xuanyuan, and Senior Sister had a strange expression when she heard my name for the first time, I didn't care about it at the time, but now I understand it when I think about it.
No wonder the emperor Lao'er knows everything, it turns out that the senior sister told him everything. No, my sister is a princess, that is to say, my sister is my fiancΓ©e, I'll go, it's too, there is such a coincidence in the world.
Emperor Xuanyuan asked the two of us to look at each other, coughed twice and said, "Ahem, I'll talk about your marriage contract later, and now I'm giving you a chance, do you have anything you want?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Please let your Majesty spare the more than 50,000 soldiers in the Dream Continent, they are just following orders. β
"Is this the only request? Since those soldiers are captured by you, I will leave them to you to dispose of, whatever you want, I will not interfere. After saying this, Emperor Xuanyuan asked again: "Do you Aiqing still have something to do? β
No one spoke to the ministers below, and the emperor said, "Since this is the case, let's retire from the court, and remember to come to the celebration banquet in the evening." β
After coming out of the morning court, I directly pushed my father to the military camp of the Long family, fortunately, there were more soldiers in the Long family before, and the military camp was relatively large, so the army of the Dream Continent with more than 50,000 can also live, and now my status in the heart of the Long family army is estimated to be higher than that of my father, and the Long family army greeted me one after another when he saw me, and then greeted his father.
We found General Wang and General Li, and asked them to gather all the soldiers of the Dream Continent in the square, looked at the more than 50,000 soldiers standing below, and said loudly: "I have already interceded with you at His Majesty the Emperor, and now I will send you the antidote, and after your poison is resolved, you can choose to leave the Dragon Continent and return to your own home, or you can stay in the Dragon Continent to live, and if you want, you can also join the Dragon Family Army, everything is up to you." β
Then I handed the antidote prepared in advance to the Long Jiajun from the space ring, and asked them to send the antidote to the soldiers.
Originally, I thought that most of them would choose to leave here and return to their hometowns, but I didn't expect that after all the soldiers had taken the antidote, few soldiers would leave, and they all chose to stay in the Longjia Army, I was a little puzzled and asked: "Why do you all choose to stay, don't you want to go back to your own home?"
"Our life was given by the general, and we are willing to stay and serve the Long Family Army. β
"Yes, most of us are orphans, it's the same everywhere, General Long treats us well, then this is our home. β
"Yes, this will be our home from now on. β
............
"Okay, since you are willing to stay, this will be your home in the future, and we will be brothers in the future. I said to the soldiers below.
The soldiers below also shouted in unison: "Share the blessings, share the difficulties, share the blessings, share the difficulties............"
