Chapter 136: The Weishui Incident
The Battle of Weishui seven years ago was extremely tragic, and in the end, those who bothered to serve the country all paid the price with their lives.
At the beginning, Qi Yu led the troops to fight, although he had just turned eighteen, but he had already experienced a lot of wars, so for this war that was not very optimistic about the original, the people of the entire Han Zhaoguo still brought more optimism.
However, no one expected the tragedy of the war.
Qi Yu set up a bureau and planned to use less (yòu) more, but he didn't expect that the army (qíng) was leaked, and the battle was lost extremely tragically.
Although Qi Yu still turned the tide and ended the defeat in the end, in the end, he still won the victory with mountain after mountain of white bones.
"But didn't you find out in the first place?"
Zhao Zhan looked at the letter in front of him in disbelief, which said that the original war mistake was actually a command mistake by Lord Zhao. In other words, there was no such thing as a fine work at all!
The Emperor shook his head and did not answer.
Chu Xingchen, who was on the side, took the initiative to take over and said to Zhao Zhan: "But at the beginning, your Zhao family was sure that Song Hui was meticulous, and at that time, how could you give her a chance to explain." ”
Seven years ago, when everyone pointed their doubts to the crown prince (shēn), Qi Yu didn't even have time to say anything before he was taken away directly by the emperor's envoy. Then the emperor was furious and had to deal with Qi Yu overnight, and at the critical time, Song Hui took the initiative to block everything.
That was the first time Chu Xingchen had seen the soft-looking girl, and the hun (shēn) exuded a sharp edge. Because of this, when all of them were at a loss, he bravely saved Qi Yu.
In the end, Chu Xingchen had also seen the tragedy at that time, so when he said these words now, the (qíng) in his voice was also very excited.
Zhou Huan also read the piece of paper that was thrown by Zhao Zhan on the ground seriously, the handwriting on it was vigorous and powerful, of course, the information in the text was even more important.
In his letter, Elder Zhao wrote that the first defeat of the crown prince Qi Yu was caused by his (shēn) overstepping his authority as the prince's teacher.
And he takes power too seriously, so he is unwilling to admit his mistakes. It is precisely because of this that he has avoided the government and the opposition over the years and never asked about the world again.
As for suddenly trying to figure it out, it was because of the emperor's trust in the Zhao family, which made him feel guilty.
At the end of the day, there isn't that much to trust in these words.
But in the end, Qi Yu's grievances were clarified, even the grievances of seven years ago.
"Your Majesty, I don't believe that grandpa is that kind of person, he is a good general of Han Zhaoguo, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it." Qi Yu was opening his mouth to argue, but the emperor turned over (shēn) and did not look at Zhao Zhan again.
Zhao Zhan kowtowed desperately, but in the end, he was also exchanged for the emperor's disappointed eyes.
"Go back, the Zhao family's military power will be handed over for the time being."
There is no longer the affinity of the past, and the emperor at this moment is sitting on a high seat, staring intently at Zhao Zhan not far away.
Zhao Zhan had never seen such an oppressive look from the emperor, he lowered his head and nodded, and all the words of explanation in his heart were suppressed. Come to think of it, it should be enough.
"Yes."
The originally sharp young man was decadent at this moment, but in fact, it was not until this moment that he realized that all the tosses he had before were just having the emperor's favor (ài). Now, having lost the emperor's trust, he is no longer the high-ranking General Zhao.
"Wechen retired."
Before Zhao Zhan's words fell, the emperor angrily threw a water cup on Zhao Zhan's forehead again, although he did not smash his forehead, but it was also contaminated with a bunch of tea.
The broken hair on his forehead was wet and sticking to his face in embarrassment, but Zhao Zhan didn't say a word more, and even the eyes that were inadvertently placed on Zhou Huan (shēn) were empty.
This look made Zhou Huan feel cold in his heart.
When she came over today, she had already inquired about Zhao Zhan (qíng) again. It turned out that the reason why Zhao Zhan was able to show off his might in these years was largely because of the emperor's favor.
The son of a foreign minister, the emperor gave him an honor comparable to that of a prince.
Originally, Zhou Huan thought that he would have to put a lot of thought into it today, but he didn't expect that the emperor's attitude had already been set.
"Where's Yu'er?" The emperor looked at the little eunuch next to him (shēn) busy, and couldn't help frowning and asking.
Zhou Huan secretly thought, maybe the emperor's temper was sent to himself and Qi Yu.
After a while, Qi Yu was brought up, he was still dressed in the same (shēn) splendid clothes, and his face looked white and clean, and he should not have been harmed in any way.
"(diàn)下."
Qi Yu lowered his head and walked forward hesitantly, with a look of resignation on his face. But on the surface, as soon as he came in, he smelled the familiar smell of Zhou Huan (shēn).
Therefore, as soon as Zhou Huan opened his mouth, he immediately walked quickly to Zhou Huan's (shēn) side and took Zhou Huan's hand.
"Father, the son of the emperor said, the son of the minister doesn't know anything, and it has nothing to do with Qingqing."
Qi Yu's long sentence was a one-time sentence, but it did not affect Zhou Huan's recognition of Qi Yu.
However, Zhou Huan did not know the pattern of the emperor's and Qi Yu's usual relationship, but the recent succession of events (qíng) made her full of distrust of the people next to her (shēn).
Therefore, Zhou Huan hurriedly raised his hand and pulled Qi Yu's sleeve, signaling Qi Yu to stop talking nonsense.
Who knows, Qi Yu suddenly pushed away Zhou Huan's hand to appease him, and then said to Zhou Huan in a loud voice: "Qingqing, don't be afraid, my father won't be angry." ”
After finishing speaking, Qi Yu also raised his head and smiled at the emperor: "Isn't it, father?" ”
Suddenly, Zhou Huan felt that the atmosphere in the room was extremely cold, and she even felt that the emperor would be able to cut down all three of them in the next second.
…
The emperor suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, and nodded at Qi Yu. "Don't be naughty in the future, remember to listen to the princess."
Qi Yu nodded, looked at Zhou Huan proudly, and said again, look, what I said is not right.
"Okay, since you're here, let's go over and say hello to the queen."
Chu Xingchen suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, the queen mother is not in the palace today. ”
The emperor nodded, because against the light, although Zhou Huan raised his head, he didn't see the emperor's obscure eyes clearly.
"Then father, I will go back with (diàn) first, and then come to see the queen mother."
Zhou Huan didn't care if it was decent or not, and directly said goodbye to the emperor. Anyway, the matter (qíng) has also been clarified, and the emperor can't lose his temper at will.
The emperor nodded, but let Zhou Huan leave first, and he himself wanted to say a few words to Qi Yu alone.
When he was standing at the door, Chu Xingchen suddenly looked at Zhou Huan and laughed.
"Just now, the princess is very courageous."
Zhou Huan looked up at the white snow not far away, where there were glazed tiles and brick-red palace walls everywhere, white was actually so good-looking.
"Still, it looks like I'm doing it too much."
When Emperor Fang reprimanded Zhao Zhan, Zhou Huan already understood that he was doing more today. Perhaps, even if she doesn't come, the emperor will let Qi Yu go.
Chu Xingchen hooked his lips and smiled, but he didn't answer Zhou Huan's question. Instead, he changed the topic and said: "Can't the princess see who General Zhao Xiao looks like?" ”
(xìng) Ge is naïve and straightforward, with the pride and fragility of a young man......
No wonder, Zhou Huan can't always be too jealous of Zhao Zhan, it turns out that Zhao Zhan today is very much like Qi Yu in front of him.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why the emperor has been extremely fond of Zhao Zhan over the years.
"Anyway, thank you for today." After thinking about all this, Zhou Huan smiled and was quickly relieved.
She still couldn't understand why she would rather pamper a courtier than trust the emperor with more trust in his son.
Chu Xingchen waved his hand indifferently, has he protected Qi Yu so much over the years?
"I'm going to be away for a while, so you won't be able to see me for a long time."
When Zhou Huan was still wondering, Chu Xingchen had already said goodbye and left, and Qi Yu, who was not far from her turn (shēn), was stepping on the snow.
That's it, no matter how difficult it is in this capital, they still have each other.
Because of the Zhao family's affairs (qíng), when Zhou Huan and Qi Yu went back, someone in the house actually sent a bunch of posts. Of course, they are not looking for trouble, but they are all here to comfort Qi Yu who was trapped.
At dinner in the evening, the more Zhou Huan thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.
Now that Qi Yu is like this, there are still people who are thinking about it, so he has been being calculated in the past.
Also, that girl named Song Hui......
When his thoughts just touched here, Zhou Huan immediately stopped thinking nonsense.
She and Qi Yu just feel like they are dependent on each other, although she is not disgusted with being married to Qi Yu, but it does not mean that she has reached the point of deep (ài) towards him.
So, she shouldn't be interested in his past!
"(diàn), follow me to Zhaofu tomorrow." Zhou Huan hurriedly spoke, trying to divert his attention.
Qi Yu lowered his head and pulled his own food, and looked up at Zhou Huan suspiciously.
Zhou Huan stretched out his hand and touched Qi Yu's head, and the feeling was as good as ever. "Of course he was angry with you, he bullied you so much, we have to pay it back, right?"
Zhou Huan added a mouthful of soup to his mouth, and said as a matter of course. Of course, she didn't ignore Qi Yu's dissatisfied eyes, and withdrew her hand with a smile.
"Qingqing ......"
Zhou Huan hurriedly clapped his hands, looking like he knew he was wrong. Qi Yu said that he couldn't touch his head again, then he wouldn't grow tall.
And Zhou Huan couldn't remind him except for smirking, he was so old that he wouldn't grow taller a long time ago.
In fact, Qi Yu was also muttering, this is what he asked about Chasing Feng, and Chasing Wind watched those children learn on the street.
I don't know what's going on, but he also thinks it's weird......
