Chapter 6 Marriage? (below)
Well? Yu Wenxuan was stunned: "I...... Remember. What's wrong? Yu Wenxuan was very puzzled, why the imperial brother suddenly mentioned Yue'er.
Memories flooded into his mind like a flood of water.
When you first come to Chang'an, you feel fresh wherever you go. My father said he was going to find you a playmate, so I met you at that age.
At that time, we were young and did not understand feelings. You followed me, calling Brother Xuan to play with me. And I'm holding your hand in front, determined not to look back. I know you're right behind me, and I'm not afraid I'll lose you.
When we were young, we were tired, so we walked and walked along that road with no end. So much so that in retrospect, even the memory is filled with the fragrance of begonia flowers that permeated that picture.
"The envoy of the Liuji Kingdom recently came to Chang'an and asked for peace with us." Yu Wenduan's words pulled Yu Wenxuan back from the meeting, "Princess Yue'er is at the age when she should marry, and King Liuji wants to marry her. I thought, didn't you get along well with Yue'er back then, and you have also reached the age when you should get married, so you are the most suitable person to get along this time. This is just the right time, taking this opportunity to not only do a major event in your life for you, but also a matter of my heart. The father and the queen mother will be very happy when they have spirits in the sky. ”
Yu Wenxuan didn't answer, but the expression on his face seemed to be extremely reluctant.
"What? Is this shy or unwilling? Yuwenduan laughed.
"Brother Huang, do you still remember the fate that the old master told Xuan'er back then?" Yu Wenxuan didn't answer, but brought up another topic.
When this question was spoken, Yu Wenduan was suddenly stunned, his back was like a needle stabbing him, and even a cold sweat broke out. The frown became tighter.
Things have to start when Yu Wenxuan was ten years old, when the emperor toured south and met an old monk in Hangzhou. At that time, Emperor Gaozong and Yuwen Duanyu Wenxuan's two sons went to Lingyin Temple to burn incense, and a monk who looked like an elder came out of the Buddhist hall and went straight to salute the emperor's father and son.
The elder only explained his intention in the exchange with the emperor. He inadvertently looked at Yu Wenxuan's face in front of the hall, and felt incredible, out of the compassion of the Buddhist family, so he hurriedly stepped forward to explain the situation to this child and his family. But at another glance, the child's father was richly dressed and had a majestic face, obviously having the feeling of being a superior person. Therefore, he instantly saw through the identities of these three people.
After the elder saluted the father and son, he began to tell his opinion on Yu Wenxuan's face. He said that His Royal Highness will definitely make great achievements in the future. But at the age of twenty, he will encounter the greatest catastrophe of his life. If this catastrophe cannot be overcome, then it will be yin and yang, and heaven and man will be separated. But if you can get through, it will be like a phoenix nirvana and reborn from the fire.
If others dare to say this, the emperor will definitely cut off his head. But this elder is a well-known holy monk, and the disciples of the Buddhist family are compassionate, and people are kind enough to remind them that they can't ignore what is good or bad.
Yu Wenduan hurriedly asked the elder, what is the way to survive his brother's calamity? But the elder said that the secret of heaven must not be revealed, and all the cause and effect must be borne by His Royal Highness, and no one can help him.
I remember that after returning to the palace that time, the queen hugged Yu Wenxuan and cried for a long time. This is also one of the reasons why the emperor and queen favored Yu Wenxuan for many years later, because they didn't know if their son could survive the age of twenty.
But the fact is that Yu Wenxuan has just passed his twentieth birthday. And he still likes Yue'er very much, otherwise it would be impossible to secretly tell Yuwenduan when he was a child that he wanted to marry her. But he was also well aware of his difficulties. As the Prince Xi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the marshal of the Black Feather Army. Yu Wenxuan is likely to go to the battlefield at any time. He didn't want Yue'er to marry and be widowed not long after.
"So Brother Huang, Xuan'er can't ......" Before the words were spoken, Yu Wenduan also understood.
"Well, it's getting late. We'll leave that later. Go back. "What was supposed to be a festive topic was made very heavy.
But in fact, even if Yu Wenxuan doesn't remind him today, Yu Wenduan remembers. But he didn't quite believe in that fortune telling by looking at his face.
Yu Wenxuan got up from the chair and bowed: "Brother Huang rest early, and the younger brother will retire first." ”
"Go for it......"
After speaking, he took three steps back, turned around and walked out of the imperial study.
"Your Majesty?" Seeing Yuwen propping up his forehead on the desk, Han Gonggong called.
"Huh?" Yuwenduan opened his eyes.
"What happened to the fortune telling that Your Highness just said?" Han Gonggong asked.
Yuwenduan glared at him, and Gonggong Han hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand: "The slave has a lot of mouths, and the slave should die." ”
"Alas......" Yuwen sighed and gently touched the acupuncture points on his head.
……
A few days passed.
Above the court. "Your Majesty." Tian Shaotu's father, the British Gongtian Tetsu, played.
"What do you have to do?" Yuwen asked.
"Back to Your Majesty." Tian Zhe said, "According to the time calculation, the missions sent by the Northern Turks and the Northwest Uighurs should all arrive in Chang'an tomorrow. The old minister was thinking, since we have already responded to the Three Kingdoms warrior competition they proposed before, it is time to designate the candidates for the battle at that time. ”
Yu Wenduan nodded, and glanced at Yu Wenxuan, who was also looking at him, his clear eyes seemed to be full of little stars, showing the intention of asking for battle.
Yuwenduan smiled imperceptibly, and said: "This martial arts competition is very important, it can't affect the harmony, but it can't lose my face in Da Zhou." ”
"Is there a candidate for the Duke of Guo?" Yuwenduan asked Tian Zhe.
"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Xi's martial arts will inevitably be the first choice, and secondly, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Gray, and Shao Huaxian's nephew are also very good candidates. In addition, the commanders of the Black Feather Army, Wang Shilong, Wei Chuan, etc., are also suitable. Tian Zhe replied.
Hearing the recommendation, Zhang Shaohua came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to take the lead for the Great Zhou." Destroy the Turks and Uighurs first. ”
Yu Wenxuan finally couldn't help it, and came out together: "Brother Qiyu, the younger brother is willing to fight with Shaohua, I believe that only the two of us can win this competition." ”
Domineering and awe-inspiring!
After that, Yu Wenxuan and Zhang Shaohua looked at each other and smiled, and in each other's eyes, they both saw a strong war intent.
"Eh, Your Highness doesn't know. In this competition, five people from each side of each of our three countries were conducted in the form of wheel battles. It's still not safe for you and Shao Huaxian's nephew to fight. To be on the safe side, it's better for us to send five people out as well. Tian Zhe explained in an analysis.
Five is five, and no one of you dares to rob me anyway. Let's see that when I hit the other side ten, Yu Wenxuan thought.
"Hmm...... The British public opinion is extremely true. Then it's decided. Xiwang, Shaohua, Ge Lei, Wei Chuan, Wang Shilong. At that time, the five of you will participate in this competition. Victory is not allowed to lose. Yuwenduan commanded.
After hearing this, Ge Lei, Wei Chuan, and Wang Shilong also came out, and bowed together with Yu Wenxuan and Zhang Shaohua and said, "No! ”
For a while, the battle spirit in the court was majestic, and the sound of "No" made the blood of others boil.
"This order of appearance, I will arrange it together today. Ge Lei was the first, Shaohua was the second, Xuan'er was the third, Wei Chuan, and Wang Shilong were the fourth and fifth. Well, retreat. ”
Yu Wenduan knew that Yu Wenxuan would definitely not be willing to obey such an arrangement, so he didn't give Yu Wenxuan a chance to question. And he knew that his younger brother would definitely come to him after he left the court.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." All the ministers knelt down in unison and sent Yu Wenduan away.
Yu Wenxuan got up and looked at the direction where Yu Wenduan had left. No, on weekdays, the royal brother must have ranked me in front, so why is it this time? No, I'll have to ask.
Hurriedly greeted Zhang Shaohua, Tian Shao, and other ministers who said goodbye to him, and Yu Wenxuan hurriedly left the Taihe Palace.
As a result, as soon as he went out, he was stopped by a little eunuch: "Your Highness, Your Majesty called you over." ”
In this way, the doubts in Yu Wenxuan's heart deepened. He followed the little eunuch to the Imperial Garden.
From a distance, I saw Yuwen sitting in the pavilion. Yu Wenxuan stepped forward and saluted: "Brother Huang." ”
"Sit." Yuwen said.
After Yu Wenxuan sat down, Yu Wenduan smiled and said, "Are you confused about the order of my line today?" ”
Yu Wenxuan nodded: "Brother Huang, why don't you let me be the first, don't you believe that I can't beat ten of them?" ”
"It's not that you don't believe it, it's that it's impossible." Yuwen said, "There are no specific rules for this competition. Wheel warfare, one-on-one, unless you take the initiative to admit defeat, you will not die. And I know you, you can't admit defeat, if you do that, you will be very dangerous, that's why I arranged it this way. ”
Yuwenduan took a sip of tea, and then said, "The Turks and Uighurs are generally taller than us Central Plains people, so they already have a physical advantage. Moreover, since it is a three-country competition, who doesn't want to take the opportunity to suppress the other two countries. Therefore, the Turks and Uighurs must have brought with them the strongest martial artists in the country. Think about it, can you still fight ten with one? ”
Yu Wenxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought for a while. With his wisdom, it is easy to understand. With the martial arts of Ge Lei and Zhang Shaohua, they can defeat as many opponents as possible when they play first, and then they and the other two will go again. This contest can basically be said to be won.
In diplomacy, only when there are many talented people and strong national strength can they have more say or even play a dominant role.
"Xuan'er understood." Yu Wenxuan Dao,
"Okay, then I'll see you tomorrow." Yuwenduan said with a smile.
"Brother Huang, don't worry."
……
There were a group of people marching on the official road outside Chang'an City. It doesn't look like it's the dress of the Central Plains. There were two people riding side by side at the front. One has a big belly, but the other is strong and capable. The two of them talked and laughed all the way.
"Brother Xiao Ming, this time our two countries are united, and we will definitely make those so-called warriors of Da Zhou lose a mess, and it will also make Da Zhou lose face. Hahahaha......" said the fat man.
"Brother Luo, you must not be careless in this competition. As far as I know, there are several powerful and powerful people in Da Zhou, and we have to be more careful. Said a capable man surnamed Xiao.
