98. Chapter 98
In the eyes of these people, no matter whether the emperor appoints the eldest prince or the fourth prince as the crown prince in the future, there will always be one of the Nangong dreams and Nangong Butterfly who has made the crown princess. In time, she will become the queen and the mother of the world. And Nangong Jue will become the national abbot at that time, which is really enviable!
If they know the truth, in fact, Nangong Meng's love is the third prince Yu Wending, who is disliked by the emperor, I don't know how to feel? In the past two years, Yuwending and Nangong Meng's hearts have become closer and closer, their trust in each other has become deeper and deeper, and their belief in being together for a lifetime has become more and more firm.
In the past two years, because Nangong Die has delivered letters in the middle, Yuwen Ding has learned a lot of information from Yuwen Haojun. But no matter how the court changes, no matter how rumors spread in the capital, Yuwending can only be obsessed with martial arts, immerse himself in the study of literature, and become the rarest leader in the dark guards over the years.
On this day, Broken Intestine Cliff, Nangong Meng and Yu Wending chatted in the bamboo forest in the afternoon.
"Dream, last night Bronze asked me about my future plans, and I told him the truth, and he seemed to be angry."
"Why? He's always treated you so well. How did you him off? Nangong Meng was a little puzzled.
"I told him that I just want to join hands with you in the future, and live in seclusion. Bronze probably thinks I'm too unambitious. ”
"Does Bronze want you to get involved in the government?"
"Maybe, he always said that a good man has ambitions in the world, and now the outside world is rumoring that my father will be the crown prince, I should give it a go. But what does my father have to do with me making the crown prince? I don't want to be in the world, I just want to be an ordinary person. What's more, even if I have a heart, my father's choice for the crown prince will not be me. Yu Wending looked at Nangong Meng, with a tender face, "The world and you, what I want has always been you, not the world." ”
"Yes, I only want to live in seclusion with you. In the early morning, climb to the top of the mountain hand in hand and watch the sunrise and morning light. I was looking for wild fruits and vegetables in the mountains, and you were in charge of hunting, and then we washed our hands and cooked soup together. At night, you play the piano, I play the lute, and taste our own wine together, until the moonlight is like water, and the dew is slightly cool, and we fall asleep together. Nangong Meng whispered softly, immersed in a wonderful vision.
"And our children!" Yu Wending stretched out his long arm and pulled Nangong Meng into his arms, "I want to take them to listen to the crisp birdsong in the wooded valley, chase the hare in the grass, watch the stream, listen to the murmuring of the water, so that they will always know only laughter and worry." ”
"It's good that I and you are growing old together like this." At this time, snuggled in Yuwending's arms, Nangong Meng only felt full of happiness.
"Yes, that's great!" Yu Wending smiled and shook his head, "But when Bronze left, he said that if he couldn't control the world, everything I said would always be just a dream." ”
"He's worried that you and I won't be able to be together!" Nangong Meng understands that bronze has always been very fond of Yu Wending. Maybe Bronze also knew that Yuwen Chi Rui had a heart for himself, and was worried that Yuwen Ding would not be able to compete with Yuwen Chi Rui, so he would persuade Yuwen Ding to look at the world and hold great power in order to get more.
"This New Year's Festival, after I return to the palace, I will go to my father and tell him that I want to marry you." Although Zhilu Dao's father didn't have the slightest father-son affection for him, Yu Wending still decided to give it a try, "If he doesn't agree, I'll kneel until he agrees!" ”
"Well, I'll beg my father too." Knowing that Yuwen Aoli has always ignored Yuwen Ding, Nangong Meng can't help but be a little worried, but after all, he must face it, "As soon as this year passes, you will be fifteen years old, and the emperor will not let you stay in this broken bowel cliff again, right?" ”
"I don't know how my father arranged. Maybe he doesn't want to see me, so he will make me an idle prince early and send me to a fief. But after 10 years here, I have developed a feeling for every plant and tree here. If I hadn't been here, how would I have met you? How did they meet Master, Bronze, and Cloud Chaser? Thinking of leaving, Yu Wending's words were full of reluctance.
"In court affairs, there are always too many people who can't help themselves, and it is inevitable that they will be tired when they participate in it. I also look forward to leaving this land with you. Anyway, you are also the prince, and the emperor should also let you choose the secret guard. When the time comes, you can choose to chase the clouds, so that we can all be together. ”
Nangong Meng never thought that his words were originally intended to comfort Yu Wending, but his words became prophecy, and unfortunately he was right. In the words, it was Yu Wending who really chose Chasing Yun and others as his secret guards. Unfortunately, because no one expected that the evolution of things would not only completely deviate from the expected track, but also develop in a direction that the two could not control.
In the autumn of 478 months, the Nanlin Kingdom suddenly attacked, and 300,000 troops pressed the border. At the same time, Jin Yaoguo also sent 200,000 troops to be stationed on the border, looking like watching the tiger fight from across the mountains, just waiting to reap the benefits. The situation suddenly became extremely tense.
Coincidentally, Na Mo Yu thought that this was a good opportunity for his son to make war exploits, and discussed with Na Ye Mu Chi Ye, and actually asked Yuwen Chi Rui to propose to lead the troops to the court.
"Father, the war is about to break out, and my son begs my father to allow me to personally lead the troops to the border pass to defeat the Nanlin army in one fell swoop, so as to eliminate my worries about leaving the future."
"Oh? The emperor wants to go on the expedition in person? Yuwen Aoli squinted his eyes, supported his head on the dragon chair with one hand, and looked at Yuwen Chi Rui, who was standing there at the foot of the steps, "The battlefield is cruel, the emperor is the pillar of my month, how can I be willing to let the emperor risk his life?" I think it's better to send the general Haikun to lead the troops. ”
"Father, now that the moon is in trouble, the sons and daughters should worry about the moon for their father. Erchen can't just enjoy glory and wealth, can't just covet a quiet life, Erchen would rather fight on the battlefield, for the moon to leave the horse leather shroud, at any cost! Yuwen Chi Rui made a generous statement, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.
"What the emperor said, I am very relieved. But the emperor has never marched and fought, so how can I rest assured of your safety? The Nanlin army is led by Xi Chen, who is famous for Lan Kun and is a very powerful character. Yuwen Aoli looked at Yuwen Chi Rui's eyes, full of love, the courtiers standing below were like mirrors in their hearts, this emperor loves the eldest prince is an indisputable fact, how can he be willing to let him suffer, how can he be willing to let him take risks?
"Father, as the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and I think that Xichen became famous in a battle, and he was only eighteen years old. Although he has great achievements, his sons are not afraid of him. Although Erchen has never marched to fight, he has the determination to throw his head and spill his blood for Yueli, and he hopes that his father will be fulfilled! ”
Yuwen Chi Rui's words were loud, but Yuwen Aoli was silent, and the expression on his face was unfathomable.
