Chapter 194: Spring Hunt (Part II)
After the sacrificial ceremony ended early in the morning, Emperor Liang Yinhao officially moved into the Hunting Palace, while the rest of the royal family still camped outside the Hunting Palace. www.biquge.info On the one hand, he has to constantly adjust the defense around the Hunting Palace, and he can't let go of any changes, and on the other hand, he can't make things too obvious and make people suspicious, which really worries Yin Zheng.
Liang Yinhao returned to the hunting palace and changed into a riding costume, and then entered the hunting area to join the hunt. These palace nobles are stuffy in the capital on weekdays, and it is rare to have the opportunity to come to the grassland hunting grounds, and they are naturally so excited that they can't help themselves. As a result, who catches the most prey in this competition has become a scene that will be staged every year. Of course, Liang Yinhao is the emperor, no one dares to compare with him, and he will not go into battle with real swords, but he just walks slowly on horseback, and finally shoots a few prepared grids for the Internal Affairs Office.
After many years, Ruiwang Liang Yinhuan set foot on this hunting area again, but his heart was full of emotion. He accompanied Liang Yinhao to slowly drive the horse on the grassland, and the two sometimes chatted, sometimes silent. This place is too sensitive for the two of them, even if King Rui has won Liang Yinhao's trust in the court now, but for this hometown eight years ago, it will inevitably remind the two of them of the past eight years ago, and the deep-hidden estrangement in each other's hearts can't help but surface.
The two were silent for a long time, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, Liang Yinhao took the lead and said in a deep voice: "After so many years, it seems that this place has not changed." ”
King Rui looked at the line of heaven and earth in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh with some emotion: "It has indeed not changed, so many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and it really makes people sigh that time is in a hurry." ”
"Over the years, have you ever complained about the fifth brother?" Liang Yinhao asked seemingly casually, but in fact, this question has been backlogged in his heart for a long time.
"Brother Huang's words made the younger brother unable to understand." King Rui smiled calmly and said, "Grievance? Who is to blame? ”
Liang Yinhao glanced at King Rui meaningfully, and said quietly: "Complain about the father, the emperor, the sky, the fate....even complain!" ”
King Rui also turned his head to look at Liang Yinhao, the light in his eyes was unwavering, without the slightest dodge. As a son, the younger brother has never resented his father, and he never dares to forget the kindness of his parents. Complaining about heaven and fate is even more nonsense, and if the destiny is like this, if you end up with resentment, it is not a good thing for yourself or others. As for the imperial brother, the younger brother has nothing to resent, if it weren't for the benevolence of the imperial brother, the younger brother would probably still be doing nothing in Fuzhou all day long, eating and waiting for death, or being secretly killed by Huo Pei'an. How can we be today? ”
Liang Yinhao looked at King Rui for a long time, as if he was tasting and considering the truth of King Rui's words. In the end, Liang Yinhao smiled with relief, reached out and patted King Rui's shoulder, and teased: "In the past, your archery skills were the best among several princes, why can't you even hit a rabbit and sparrow now?" Did you deliberately let me or did your strength regress? ”
"I haven't touched a bow and arrow for many years, how can it be compared to when I was young and vigorous!" King Rui smiled embarrassedly, but there was no smile in the depths of his eyes.
The two of them didn't say a word, chatting casually, and after half a day, they naturally didn't gain much. Except for Liang Yinhao who beat a hare, Rui Wang actually returned empty-handed.
At noon, the sun began to get hot, so Liang Yinhao dismounted and returned to the hunting palace for dinner. In the hunting palace, Liang Yinhao invited King Rui to dine together, and at the same time, Concubine Yin Muqing served on the side. The three of them ate at the same table, the face was harmonious, and the atmosphere was extremely natural, but they each had different calculations in their hearts. After lunch, as usual, Liang Yinhao would look down on him for a while, and King Rui also got up and prepared to leave, at this time, Yin Zheng rushed into the hunting palace anxiously, bringing Liang Yinhao an extremely shocking news.
"What do you say? Xiao Su, the deputy general of the Qingbei Army, took the Qingbei Army with the intention of rebellion?! Liang Yinhao asked incredulously.
Yin Zheng looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Exactly, the two outposts around the Hunting Palace have come to report, saying that the Optimus Army has captured two outposts and is ready to enter the Hunting Palace!" ”
"How is that possible! The Qingbei Army has always only obeyed my deployment, how dare they be so bold this time? Liang Yinhao obviously couldn't recover from his shock.
Yin Zheng lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and said: "Weichen is guilty, actually..."
Mu Qing hurriedly urged: "It's all this time, my father might as well say it if he has something to say." ”
Yin Zheng nodded and said: "Actually, when I was in the capital, Weichen heard Lord Shangshuyue of the Ministry of War say that Huo Pei'an had been in and out of Vice General Xiao's mansion many times, and he went there for most of the day. It's just that at that time, Weichen didn't know whether they were reminiscing or discussing something important, so....so they didn't dare to report to the emperor rashly. ”
"Xiao Su is Qiao Yuanshan's deputy general, and Qiao Yuanshan has a very personal relationship with Huo Pei'an. They must have been resentful because of Qiao Yuanshan's affairs, so they came up with such a trick. Mu Qing calmly analyzed.
"Huo Pei'an? He was the one who started it this time?! Liang Yinhao was shocked, "I have trusted and favored him for so many years, even if he is not grateful, he has the ambition of a wolf to such a field." ”
Compared with Liang Yinhao's flustery, Rui Wang was much more calm, he looked at Yin Zheng and asked, "Can you find out, how many people are in the Qingbei Army?"
"According to the news, there should be 50,000 people, and they have been camped in Binzhou before the spring hunting team left Beijing. Binzhou is only less than a hundred miles away from the Hunting Palace, and it is surrounded by mountains, which are not easy to be noticed, so we haven't been able to detect their movements in advance. ”
"Fifty thousand people...."Liang Yinhao said stunned, "The forbidden army of the Hunting Palace is only 20,000 people....that...."
Mu Qing saw that Liang Yinhao's face was pale, and the whole person seemed to be stunned, and he couldn't help but feel a little disdainful in his heart. The dignified king of a country, not only can he not give orders in times of crisis, but he takes everyone out of the predicament, and he is as overwhelmed as a child, and he really has no wind of a general. However, although she thought so in her heart, she pretended to comfort her face: "Don't worry too much, Your Majesty. Although the forbidden army suffered a loss in numbers, fortunately, the soldiers of the forbidden army were all brave and good at fighting, and their fathers were responsible for the deployment, so they would definitely be able to pacify the rebellious party and protect the emperor. ”
"How dare they just attack like that? Do they regard the defense army and the forbidden army of the capital as nothing? Rui Wang Hu doubted.
Yin Zheng said worriedly: "Your Highness, don't forget, the Qingbei Army has just sent 20,000 people to the capital, and it is called assisting the defense army and the forbidden army to defend Kyoto!" ”
King Rui analyzed in a low voice: "So, their purpose is to hijack the emperor to return to Beijing, and then force the forbidden army and the defense army to hand over the palace, so as to enter the capital?!" (To be continued.) )
