Chapter 86
There was a lot of disturbance in the court, and Princess Anrou finally married her relatives.
On the day of departure, not only the royal family, but also many officials in Beijing, and even the people went to the wedding, Daiyu and Tu Huaishen together, standing in the front row, silently watching An Rou, she went to the palace to visit An Rou yesterday, and the two talked for a long time. Later, I couldn't bear to disturb the last time An Rou and the queen's mother and daughter were together, so I left something and left.
At this time, An Rou, I don't know if it was because of marriage, or because of dressing up, the greenness on An Rou's face had disappeared, wearing a formal princess court dress, the whole person seemed to be a few years older, her expression was solemn, and she exuded the noble temperament of a princess of the heavenly family, which made many people dare not look directly.
An Rou looked at the emperor upright, the emperor and the queen bowed three times and bowed nine times, thanked the gentleman, thanked the grace of nurturing, and finally took a deep look at the queen, glanced at the palace, looked at the capital, supported by the palace maid, slowly got into the carriage, and endured not a single tear from beginning to end, but the queen had already burst into tears.
Some people sigh, some people are sad, some people are not angry, but the saddest thing is the queen, An Rou is her only daughter and the most important relative, but she was sent to the emperor by birth, and her maiden brother still persuaded her to be considerate of the emperor.
Xu is seeing that the queen is in a bad mood, the emperor has come a few times these days, and stayed overnight in Jingren Palace, which is the meaning of comfort and compensation.
The empress respectfully sent the emperor away, waved all the palace people down, and sat quietly in the side hall alone.
Ha, in the partial hall, most of the queen's face was hidden in the shadows, and the corners of her mouth were pulled up and she sneered, her eyes became more and more cold, with deep mockery, and even, crazy.
Resentment towards the emperor gradually rose in the empress's heart, however, things turned out to be unexpected by everyone.
Princess Anrou brought a lot of dowries this time, naturally, in order to prevent Tatars, most of them are flashy things, in addition, there is also a group of palace maids and female officials. In order to send the princess to marry, the emperor waved his hand and sent a large group of guards to escort it, and the leader of the guard of the wedding team was Princess Anrou's cousin, Xu Zheng.
Although Princess Zhenguo hurt Xu Zheng to the bone, Xu Zheng rarely offered to run an errand, Princess Zhenguo couldn't resist her grandson, and it was estimated that as a guard for the family sending team, there should be no danger, so she responded.
Unexpectedly, this should be in big trouble.
Since the princess set off in the capital, she has been waiting for news from the border, and finally, the news has come back, but it is completely different from what she imagined.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness An Rou, Your Highness, on her wedding night, assassinated the Tatar leader Azig!"
The emperor almost didn't stand still, and said in disbelief: "What did you say! ”
Not only the emperor, but all the courtiers who have seen and know Princess Anrou's temperament are all in a broken state, Princess Anrou, the soft and weak, powerless Princess Anrou, assassinated Azig? The eight-foot-tall, strong-bodied, legendary warrior who could knock down a cow with a single punch, and was known for his bravery even among the Tatars?
I don't read much, don't lie to me
Chaoshang fell into an eerie silence, and the emperor, worthy of being the emperor, was the first to react: "What about Azig now?" "Are you dead or not?
"The Tatars have blocked the news, but the news from the mission is that Azig should be dead."
Ministers: Princess Anrou actually succeeded?
"Is the message accurate? How did An Rou assassinate Azig, and is there a problem with this? ”
The emperor asked two questions in a row, and finally thought of his daughter's safety, and asked, "Also, how is An Rou?" ”
"The news should be accurate, I don't know how to wait for the ministers, only know that His Royal Highness took advantage of the wedding night, only her and Azig were at the moment, and later took advantage of the Tatars to escape without precautions, and the bridal mission also fled together. The Tatars did not expect this to happen, and they were not prepared, and when they found out, the mission and the princess had already left, and the accident with Azig made the Tatars leaderless for a while, and the army was in chaos, and they could not recover Her Royal Highness the princess in time. “
"It's just, it's just that His Highness doesn't know where to go. The Tatars demanded that Great Qin hand over Princess Anrou and compensate for it, and now the Tatars are putting pressure on the border. After speaking, he bowed his head deeply, lest the emperor ask for guilt.
In fact, that night, the bridal group was also confused.
Why Princess Anrou suddenly assassinated the Tatar chieftain, and how she assassinated him, the bridal group did not know anything. I only know that Xu Zheng suddenly appeared at the station with Princess An Rou, woke them up from the middle of the night, and then threw them a shocking thunder, and Princess An Rou killed her newlywed husband!
The bridal party was panicked, and there was no shortage of complaining about Princess Anrou's troubles, but the wood was already in the boat, for fear of retaliation from the Tatars, everyone did not dare to delay, set off immediately, and quietly ran away overnight.
The Tatar court was soon in chaos and brightly lit, and after a long period of uproar, a group of Tatar soldiers soon surrounded the mission station, but was finally a step too late.
Due to the pursuit of the Tatar soldiers, the people of the mission dressed up in disguise and hurriedly fled towards the border of Daqin, but the mission was separated on the way, and the person who fled back first informed the border army of the incident, and the border was urgently prepared, but there was no news from either Xu Zheng or An Rou.
After listening to all the reports, especially the latest movements of the Tatars, the emperor said angrily: "That evil girl! She'd better come out quickly, I" The emperor didn't say what he would do to An Rou, but looking at the way he gritted his teeth, I'm afraid it won't end well.
Tu Huaishen listened on the sidelines, and he also felt quite unbelievable, An Rou actually killed Azig, but, thinking about the current situation of the Tatars, Tu Huaishen stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, now that His Highness is missing, since Daqin can't hand over His Highness, I'm afraid that the Tatars will not be able to give up, but as soon as Azig dies, it is not an opportunity for Great Qin." ”
He continued: "Azig died suddenly, no heir was appointed, the Tatar dragons were leaderless, Azig's three sons are afraid that none of them will obey anyone, and compared to Azig, the three princes are difficult to match Azig in terms of prestige or resourcefulness, if you seize the opportunity of this Tatar civil strife, Great Qin may not be able to completely defeat the Tatars." ”
Hearing what Prince An said, many ministers immediately echoed their words, some of them were cautious, and there were also many main battle factions.
"Your Majesty, what Your Highness said is reasonable, this is the best time for my Great Qin to send troops."
"Exactly, just take the opportunity to take down the Tatars."
Naturally, some people objected: "A few adults said that it is easy to live and be light, Great Qin and Tatar fought for three years, the treasury was empty, and it was not easy to get peace, so why bother with another war?" ”
Zhou Kui was particularly excited, and retorted: "Then how to go and grovel to the Tatars to make amends?" Princess Anrou and the other women dared to kill Azig, and our group of big men are so soft-boned? What's more, now that Princess Anrou is missing, Daqin can't hand over the princess, and the Tatars are not satisfied, this battle has to be fought if it is not fought! ”
If you want him to say, even if Princess Anrou does not disappear, there is no reason to hand over the princess to Tatar for disposal, if it is really handed over, all the men of Daqin will not be able to raise their heads.
Sun Changqing stood up again: "This is not necessarily, what Tatar wants is an attitude of Daqin, after all, it is Daqin who is not right first, kill the Tatar leader, compensation should also be paid, Tatar is not unreasonable, if it is good to negotiate peace again"
"Ha, Lord Sun, you are really a bodhisattva, why don't you talk about it!"
Hearing this, Sun Changqing glared, thinking of the original border environment, the arrogance of the Tatars, he still silently closed his mouth and shrank back.
"陛xià." Seeing that the court was almost arguing, he went out again, "The Tatars are ambitious, even if they don't fight this time, there will be a war in the future, why not take advantage of the change of Tatar rights to send troops?" As he spoke, he knelt down heavily, "I am willing to fight with the Tatars!" ”
Prince An's Mansion, Lin Daiyu helped pack up and said, "Can I really follow you to the Northeast?" ”
Tu Huaishen winked at her: "Naturally, I have never lied to you." ”
He hadn't really lied to himself, but; "Can the emperor be willing? Didn't he want me to stay in the capital, and what did he say to be considerate of my hard work, hum~"
There is a precedent in Daqin in this regard, the general leads the army to fight abroad, and the family stays in the capital, on the one hand, to avoid the general's distraction to take care of the family, and on the other hand, it is the meaning of hostages. It's just that although there are precedents, not everyone abides by them, and many Great Qin generals go with their families.
Daiyu snorted coldly, she couldn't get used to the emperor's fake appearance, the key is, if you want to pretend, you can pretend, and everyone will know that you are pretending, which is not good-looking.
To be honest, Lin Daiyu was very curious, why did the emperor have so many sons, but he chose this Zen position, could it be that he pretended to be very good at that time?
Tu Huaishen took a piece of clothing from Daiyu's hand and said with a smile: "What if the emperor is unwilling, he still doesn't want me to go to the northeast to lead the army, I don't also make the general, Daqin is not his one hand to cover the sky, the emperor's grandfather is still there." ”
Tu Huaishen didn't expect the Emperor Taishang to be so powerful this time, and he contributed to this matter, he still remembers the emperor's ugly face at that time, not only that, but this time Lin Xuanyu also got an errand and went to the Northeast together. Madame Liu will also go with her, but Madame Liu is not an official, so she does not need the emperor's permission.
"By the way, Gonggong Sheng will also go to the Northeast this time, but he set off before us, and now he is about on the way. Well, almost, ah, don't want that. Tu Huaishen looked at all the personal belongings he had packed up and nodded.
Lin Daiyu paused, "um", but didn't say anything, and led her to see Grandpa Sheng secretly, but how to say it, although this Grandpa Sheng smiled very kindly at her, Lin Daiyu instinctively didn't like him, and couldn't say why, but he felt that his eyes were a little panicked when he looked at people sometimes.
Time waited for no one, and after the official appointment, Tu Huaishen, General Zhou and others quickly packed their bags and went to the northeast border with a part of the troops stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, especially the Shenji battalion specially approved by the Emperor Taishang.
