Volume 3: Twilight Rain and Sorrowful Clouds Twenty-six: The emperor does not live up, and the brother and sister reconcile
Yun Siyue and Shen Lang respectively supported a leaf boat around the dock, at this time, Xu Yan climbed from the shallows to the dock, twisted the water stains on his trouser legs, walked towards Yun Xingyan and said: "Third prince, I can't find it at all, why do you need to waste this useless effort?" The advice I gave you last time really didn't you think about it anymore? β
Seeing that Yun Xingyan was silent, Xu Mad continued to say step by step: "Those who have achieved great things are not informal, now that so much time has passed, the bones may have already merged into the Yellow River, or they may have already sunk to the bottom of the river, if the old immortal master is alive, he must not want you to do useless work here!" β
"Don't talk about it!"
Yun Xingyan stood up and looked at Xu Man, and said firmly: "The dead are great, I don't think I will choose to do such a thing that violates morality in order to get my father's appreciation, if I really can't find it, I will go to my father to ask for guilt, and all the blame will be borne by me alone!" β
At this time, Yun Siyue and the others went ashore one after another, and since it was really not early, Shen Lang persuaded him: "Third prince, let's find a place to rest first, and then we will find a way to ...... later."
"Okay......"
Yun Xingyan had no choice but to compromise, seeing that Yun Siyue had not spoken, Yun Xingyan asked, "Yue'er, are you blaming me?" β
"No, you've done your best, my former brother Yan is back......"
Yun Siyue smiled lightly and said: "Father, I will explain that this is the will of heaven, not within the reach of manpower, you alone block Yi Yin and Yang in front of the Hate Palace, and you will not hesitate to be trapped in these alone in order to save Brother Shen on the shore of Wuxiu Lake, I and my uncle have seen it, we discussed it, and I am willing to let Master Tai be buried in Beibi Mountain in the form of a mound of clothes!" I'll explain it to my father! β
"Thank you for your understanding"
Yun Xingyan was finally relieved to see the pressure hanging on his head at this time, but in Xu Yan's opinion, if he went back like this, he was afraid that Yun Xingyan would only be an ordinary prince, and in the end, the investment was not proportional to the return, although the letter was still there, but the weight was not as heavy as when there were the bones of the emperor......
Just as everyone was about to go to the inn to rest along the riverside, they saw a small wooden box floating in front of a moored fishing boat not far ahead, which was the box that Yun Xingyan had used to contain the bones, and now that it was close at hand, how could he not recognize it?!
"It's bones!"
"Three princes, it's dangerous......"
Yun Xingyan immediately jumped over the fence and jumped into the water, carefully picked up the brocade box, and after opening it, he saw that the round transparent bead was lying quietly in the box!! β
"Could it be that there are really gods to help?"
Xu Mad was also relieved to see that the bones were lost and recovered, looking at Yun Xingyan's elated appearance, Xu Mad couldn't help but be happy, but he also had a little more worry, Yun Xingyan was a chivalrous man, but such a character was not a good thing in the murderous deep palace!
In this way, Yun Xingyan and others rested peacefully in the inn for one night, and set foot on the road back to Luoyang the next day, at this time in front of a pavilion ten miles outside Luoyang City, Yun Tianqing was waiting here early in the morning, listening to the sound of horses' hooves from afar, Yun Tianqing also said with a happy face: "Finally here...... Welcome home, Brother Huang! β
At this time, Yun Zaixing, the waiter of the Eleventh Prince's Rite Department, who was good friends with Yun Tianqing, immediately waved his hand and said, "Come on, play music!" β
At this time, in Luoyang City, Yun Zizhong stood in the highest private restaurant in Luoyang City, looked at the battle outside the Suzaku Gate, and said: "Yun Xingyan, this last move of the ambush on all sides, you can start tasting it!" β
I saw that there were twelve lanterns hanging on the Vermilion Bird Gate at this time, and the music played was also the "Dance Before the Array" that the emperor could use, so it can be seen that Yun Zizhong had already colluded with Yun Zaixing to arrange all this, and Yun Tianqing at this time was also kept in the dark, and seeing that there were more dragon flags on the city at this time, he immediately said puzzled: "Brother Eleven, why are you doing this?" β
Yun Zaixing said with a smile: "You don't know, I have always admired the third brother as a person, and I have also heard of his feat of leaving the palace in a bloody battle, so I specially applied to Lord Shangshu for such a specification of noodles, and the third brother can afford it!" β
"But..."
Yun Tianqing said with a worried face: "After all, this is a specification that only my father can use...... The loess mat road, there is a guide in front, and the attendants kneel to greet ...... If this is known to the father, wouldn't it be to sue the third brother for a crime that does not distinguish between dignity and inferiority? Brother Eleven, how can you do this?! β
After that, Yun Tianqing shouted: "You minions, quickly lower the dragon flag, don't blow it to the people of Si Le Fang!" No matter how Yun Tianqing tossed, he couldn't see any reaction from this group of people, so Yun Tianqing immediately asked: "Brother Eleven, aren't you afraid that your father will condemn you?!" β
Yun Zaixing said disdainfully: "Hahahaha, afraid? Of course I'm afraid, but Tianqing, you don't have to forget, this matter of welcoming the emperor's bones back to Beijing from beginning to end is all handled in your name, if something happens, my father will only blame you! β
"Damn! I'm going to tell my father! β
Yun Tianqing said that he walked down the pavilion, and just as he was about to leave, he saw a few soldiers surrounding him, Yun Tianqing shouted: "Damn, you minions dare to block Ben Hou's way, aren't you afraid that Ben Hou will punish you?!" β
No matter how Yun Tianqing scolded, he didn't see this group of people move for half a minute, and Yun Zaiye smiled and said: "Don't waste your efforts, this is a soldier I specially borrowed from the Yamen of the Ministry of War, this is an official document, that is to say, they only listen to my orders today!" β
Yun Tianqing: "You...... No wonder you did everything possible to prevent my Luoyang army from maintaining order, it turned out that you had other plans, Yun Zaixing, you and I have been brothers for so many years, and now they can't compare to the wealth and glory that followed the ninth brother in exchange?! β
"Tianqing, how old are you, why are you still so naΓ―ve?"
Yun Zaixing said: "I don't have much opportunity to stand out when I work in the Ministry of Rites, and now that Brother Jiu looks up to me, how can I not help my younger brother?!" To tell you the truth, now that Dusk Xiang and Wang Xiang are already under the command of the Ninth Brother, only the Ninth Brother can become the new prince, as for Yun Xingyan, he should not have come back from the beginning! β
"I know you complain about me, but there is nothing to be done, this is the trend of the times, know how to buy and leave, this is the way to be an official!"
Yun Tian stomped his feet and said: "Fuck the way of being an official, Yun Zaixing, in vain you once regarded yourself as a Confucian scholar and read so many sage pen and ink, this is your way of being a minister?!" I, Yun Tianqing, will break off with you from now on! β
Yun Zaixing persuaded: "Don't say it so decisively, do you think you are standing on the dry shore?" Do you think you're on top of it when you're so high-sounding? Wu Anhou, as the only Hou Ye among our brothers, are you really as clean as you say? Aren't you interested in the throne?! β
"Confucianism gets rid of the dust, there are things to do and things to do, and the marquis has no interest in the throne!"
Although Yun Tianqing said decisively, it attracted Yun Zaixing's ridicule, and Yun Tianqing said puzzledly: "What are you laughing at?!" β
"I laugh at your ignorance!"
Yun Zaixing snorted coldly and said: "The strategy is natural, and it can't be controlled by one person!" Not to mention Brother Jiu, even Yun Qiancheng and Yun Xinghe have someone behind them who secretly supports them, including you! Take charge of the Luoyang Army and seal the Marquis of Anwu! Do you really think this is your father's reward for you?! He has included you as a candidate for the crown prince, which means that Yun Xingyan is also your enemy, do you still want him to come back? Don't be in a hurry to answer me, think it out for yourself! β
Yun Zaixing's words lingered in Yun Tianqing's heart, and he had already heard that it seemed that the emperor had left a letter recommending Yun Xingyan as the crown prince, of course, the final decision was still in the hands of the emperor, but thinking that his father respected Gu Yuqing so much, he could see that his opinion was comparable to that of a hundred civil and military officials!
"Brother Huang, is it really just a coincidence that you went to leave the Hate Palace?"
Yun Tianqing thought about it in combination with the fact that Concubine Lian was sent to the cold palace, I am afraid that everything makes sense, it was Concubine Lian who informed Emperor Yun Xingyan's whereabouts, so he would suffer trouble, what was infected with smallpox and needed to be isolated, it was a crime to add to it!
