Chapter 82: House Arrest (Part II)
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it......" Wang Shilong came out and was about to speak. I only heard the report of the eunuch on duty outside the palace, "Prince Xi has arrived!" ”
Is the prince awake? Many ministers and officials seemed to breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, what else did the prince have to worry about when he woke up. However, a very small number of people, such as Zhang Shaohua and others, couldn't help but worry, and said that they still couldn't hide it after all. With Yu Wenxuan's temperament, once he knew about it, he would inevitably ask for an order.
"The courtier's brother pays a visit to the imperial brother. Long live my emperor, long live, long live. Yu Wenxuan walked into the main hall and knelt down to greet Yu Wenduan.
The ministers all looked sideways, and they all felt that it was a great thing for Yu Wenxuan to wake up at this time, it was simply a blessing to the people, and the gloom on their faces was all dispersed.
"Okay, okay, no courtesy." Yuwenduan said with a smile, "If you don't have a good rest in the house, why did you come here." I'm going to take some time out to see you today. How does it feel? Yu Wenxuan's arrival made Yu Wenduan a little flustered, but it was only a momentary feeling. If Yu Wenxuan wants to lead the troops to the expedition and refuses to do so, can he still resist the decree?
Yu Wenxuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Huang." It's just a small injury, and the master said that it will be completely healed after taking a few more days of medicine. Brother ......" suddenly interrupted Yu Wenxuan's words with a hurried announcement, "Report!" Your Majesty! Border Pass Emergency: The Linyu Pass has been broken, and the Bohai Navy has occupied the land of Jizhou, Danzhou, and Shunzhou yesterday. Two generals, Xie Qiyuan and Xie Qishi, were martyred. The border garrison suffered heavy casualties and has now retreated to Youzhou. ”
"What?" Yu Wenxuan looked at the soldier who was passing the message beside him in surprise, and was suddenly a little stunned. The two brothers, Xie Qiyuan and Xie Qishi, are the second commanders of the Black Feather Army under his command and are responsible for garrisoning the eastern border. Now that the news of the death of the two has come, it can only show that it was the actions of the Bohai State.
Yu Wenxuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Yu Wenduan, "Brother Huang, this ......"
"Before you came, I was discussing this matter with Zhong Aiqing." Yu Wenduan explained unhurriedly.
Yu Wenxuan looked at the generals standing in the ranks, and Zhang Shaohua and Tian Shaotu looked back at him apologetically. They didn't tell him, apparently it was Yuwenduan's decision. Yu Wenxuan continued, "Why don't your younger brothers know anything about this? ”
"I wasn't going to tell you." Yuwen Duan said with a long sigh of relief.
If you know, you know, it's not good to hide it for a long time.
"Why?" Yu Wenxuan's eyes widened, his eyes red, "If I hadn't come over today, when would the imperial brother plan to hide it from me?" Isn't the imperial brother going to let me go this time? ”
Yu Wenxuan's attitude was tough, and everyone else present lowered their eyes and didn't dare to speak easily.
"Xuan'er!" Yu Wenduan was obviously a little displeased, "Your body has not yet recovered, and the Bohai Sea is only a small country, so there is nothing to be afraid of." You will stay in the capital and recuperate. The commander of the Eastern Crusade, I have another candidate. ”
Yu Wenxuan's eyes suddenly became cold, as cold as the cold wind outside the hall.
"Nope! My brother has to go! Yu Wenxuan said without showing weakness.
"Yu Wenxuan! When you were in the Great Zhou, there was no general who could lead the troops except you? Yu Wenduan was furious. Seeing the stubbornness and unwillingness on Yu Wenxuan's face, Yu Wenduan's heart softened a little suddenly, "Don't forget, you and Yue'er are about to get married." This is also a big deal for my Great Zhou and the Liuji Kingdom. ”
"But Brother Huang, you also heard it just now, the border guards have suffered heavy casualties! When was my Black Feather Army described as heavy casualties? That's my soldier! I won't hand over this military power! Yu Wenxuan became more and more excited, his voice became a little louder, and because of his weak body, he coughed twice at the end.
"Presumptuous!" Yuwenduan said angrily, Yuwenxuan loves soldiers like sons, and regards the soldiers under his command as siblings, such emotions Yuwenduan can naturally understand, but Yuwenxuan is a big taboo when he collides with him, especially refusing to hand over military power, which is a big crime. It is inevitable that he will fall into the hands of others, and he will be impeached in the future for a proud name.
Saying that, Yu Wenxuan shook the hem of his robe and knelt on the ground, "The younger brother asks the imperial brother for permission, and the younger brother will take command and send troops to the eastern frontier." ”
"You!" Yu Wenduan stood up and pointed at Yu Wenxuan, there seemed to be flames in his eyes, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. In Yu Wenduan's memory, this is the first time that his younger brother has disobeyed him.
The body will always recover, and the marriage date can be postponed again. But you are facing a catastrophe, if you can't come back, how will I go to see my father and queen mother after a hundred years? Alas, why don't you understand my painstaking efforts?
"Come, Prince Xi is unwell and in poor condition. Escort him back to the house, take care of him, and he must not leave the house without my will. Yuwenduan closed his eyes and made a decision.
Suddenly, not only Yu Wenxuan, but also the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned and frightened. This, this is to put the prince under house arrest? Several ministers who are good friends with Yu Wenxuan on a daily basis, including the generals under his command in the past, are all incredulous, and their brows are furrowed.
Yu Wenxuan couldn't figure it out, just give up the military power, but he would have to be placed under house arrest. Since childhood, Yu Wenduan has never treated him like this. Could it be that this incident of King Rong stimulated him too much? No, my loyalty can be learned.
Several forbidden soldiers entered the hall, walked to Yu Wenxuan's side, and helped him up, "Lord Wang, please." ”
"Brother Huang!" Yu Wenxuan shouted, but Yu Wenduan had already turned his head away and stopped looking at him.
"Lord Wang, please." The Praetorian soldier said again.
Yu Wenxuan ignored it, he took another step forward and shouted, "Imperial brother." This voice, compared to before, contains too many grievances. Yuwenduan also calmed down and said, "Send King Xi back." ”
"Lord, there is a decree from the Holy Father, don't embarrass the brothers." The forbidden soldier held Yu Wenxuan's arm and said.
Yu Wenxuan let out a long sigh, "Brother Chen's retirement." After speaking, he turned around and let the forbidden soldiers take him out of the Taiji Palace.
