At this time, Yang Yu was thinking about the idea that Song Qiqiu gave him in his heart, and at the same time chatting with the prince and the others.

"Brother Prince, speaking of which, you are almost eighteen years old this year, and I heard that when my father set out on the expedition last year, he was going to set a family affair for you, but it was delayed because of the war. This time, when my father returns, it will definitely be settled. It's just that I don't know if the prince's brother has a favorite girl? ”

No matter how fierce the fight in the secret is, when they are in front of people, the brothers Yang Jiong and Yang Yu still show great friendship, and they are completely like brothers, friends and brothers.

Yang Jiong said with a calm smile: "As a brother, as a prince, how dare you be self-absorbed in the face of such a major event as marriage?" Of course, it's all up to my father. ”

Yang Yu said: "Of course, the choice of the crown princess must be decided by the father, but the candidate for the side concubine, if the prince's brother has his own favorite, his father will not object." As he spoke, he deliberately winked at Yang Jiong.

Yang Jiong smiled and said, "Don't talk about being a brother, now that you are not young, maybe your father will also set a marriage for you this time?" ”

"Me? It's impossible, if the father wants to decide, he must first give the second brother no. ”

Speaking of Yang Yan, the two brothers were a little silent.

This time, Yang Yan followed Yang Wu and accompanied him through the bloody battle of Pingyin, and even heard that in the battle of Liujiacun Ferry, it was Yang Yan who discovered the location of Li Cunmiao, the king of Jin, so that the Wu army could win a complete victory at a very small cost, and this experience naturally made Yang Jiong and the two of them envious.

It's a pity that Yang Jiong, as the crown prince, must sit in the rear; And Yang Yu originally had the opportunity to follow Yang Wu, but because of his mother, he returned to Luoyang in advance.

Looking back now, Yang Yu has some regrets in his heart.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard faintly not far ahead, and then the dust raised by the march of the army could be seen.

Everyone was shocked in their hearts, and immediately knew that Wu Wang Yang Wu had arrived, and hurriedly lined up the line to prepare to greet them.

Soon, a long procession came slowly, and the person who rode the horse first was Yang Wu, the king of Wu.

"The ministers welcome the king's victorious return to the court!" When the crowd saw this, they hurriedly bowed down and shouted.

"Congratulations, please get up!" Yang Wu's voice came from the horse, looking calm and majestic.

"King Xie!"

Yang Wu nodded, and then looked at the crown prince Yang Jiong who was standing at the front.

Perhaps because he has been guarding the rear for Yang Wu all the year round, although Yang Jiong is not very old at this time, his whole person looks very majestic, as if he should have been born to be a superior person.

Yang Wu nodded secretly with satisfaction, and was about to open his mouth to encourage him a few words, when Yang Yu, who was standing aside, suddenly stood up and said, "Father, the child has something important to report!" ”

Yang Wu was stunned for a moment, he looked up at the other people around him, and saw that among the people, including the crown prince Yang Jiong, there was some surprise in their eyes, and he suddenly wondered in his heart, I don't know why Yang Yu suddenly did this on such an occasion.

However, although there were doubts in his heart, Yang Wu did not show any doubt on his face, but asked with a smile: "I don't know what is important for Yu'er?" ”

"King Qiqi, what the child wants to repay is a great joy!" I saw Yang Yu standing up calmly, his face full of joy.

Yang Wu smiled and asked, "Great joy?" I don't know what a happy event? Today, you might as well say it so that all the officials can be happy! ”

Yang Yu's face showed a hint of excitement, he took a deep breath, and said in the loudest voice: "King Qiyu, recently, the county order of Wannian County in Chang'an came to report, saying that a fisherman caught a turtle in Weishui, and its appearance has lived for at least thousands of years. What's even more amazing is that this turtle has words engraved on its back! ”

"Millennial Turtle? Also engraved with text? ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately reacted.

This is auspicious!

Yang Jiong's face suddenly darkened, and his heart sank half, the third child actually made an auspicious appearance at such a time, which he didn't expect at all.

Of course, he didn't believe in any auspiciousness, but even so, he couldn't help but feel worried, because he couldn't guarantee that his father would believe it.

What worries him even more is whether this matter could have been instructed by his father to do this? If that's the case, things are not going well.

Fortunately, he secretly glanced at Yang Wu, and saw that Yang Wu also showed surprise on his face, as if he was also unaware, which immediately reassured him a lot.

"If it's just the third child doing it privately, then it's okay, at least the father hasn't favored the third child. But this time, the third child did take a good move! ”

And the other ministers also became excited after hearing Yang Yu's words, and at the same time regretted in their hearts, why didn't they think of it before? Such a good opportunity for meritorious service, I actually missed it.

The people present may only be Chen Yanqian, Yang Longyan and a few other people who can still remain calm.

And Yang Wu also reacted at this time, he didn't believe in Xiangrui's kind of thing.

Not only that, he thinks that many emperors in the past may not believe in this very much, but even so, the emperors of the past dynasties will more or less make some auspicious things before ascending the throne, why is this?

In the final analysis, it is just to show that he is different from the Son of Heaven, and it is just the destiny of heaven.

Otherwise, as the Son of Heaven, you are no different from everyone else, how can you show that you are the true Son of Heaven?

Therefore, there will be so many auspicious times in the past dynasties, and everyone will be happy to do it.

Now it's Yang Wu's turn, although with Yang Wu's current prestige, even if he doesn't need Xiangrui, he can sit firmly in the position of the Son of Heaven, and no one can shake it; But if there is really auspiciousness, he will not refuse.

This may also be to maintain the common majesty of the special "profession" of the emperor.

So after reacting, he immediately smiled and asked, "I don't know what words are engraved on the back of that turtle?" ”

"Back to my father, what is engraved on the back of the turtle is eight ancient seal fonts." Speaking of this, Yang Yu's face was full of excitement, he paused, and then continued.

"The Li family should die, and the Yang family should prosper!"

As soon as these eight words came out of Yang Yu's mouth, everyone couldn't help but applaud in their hearts, and Yang Jiong also deeply admired the person who came up with these eight-character proverbs.

The Li family is dead, the Yang family is prosperous, the Li family here of course refers to the Tang Dynasty, and the Yang family refers to the current Wu State.

So the meaning of this sentence is very easy to understand, it is nothing more than that the Tang Dynasty has perished, and now the Yang Wu State should inherit the Mandate of Heaven and create a new dynasty.

But if that's all, these eight words are just average, but don't forget, now the Jin Kingdom is also surnamed Li!

So another meaning of this sentence is that the Jin kingdom will perish and the Wu kingdom will prosper!

The prophecy of only eight words encompasses the two biggest things that Wu Guo is facing now, and I have to say that the person who came up with this proverb really took a lot of effort.

And if you think about it further, the capital of the Tang Dynasty is in Chang'an, but now there is a thousand-year-old turtle engraved with a proverb on its back in the Wei River, which makes people even more reverie.

Therefore, after the ministers reacted, they shouted loudly: "The Li family should die, and the Yang family should prosper!" ”

Chen Yanqian, who is a scholar of Shoufu University, glanced at each other with several other scholars, and then stood up together and said loudly: "The king pacified the pseudo-Liang and avenged the death of the country for the Tang Dynasty; Now he has broken the Jin army, and his prestige has shaken the world, and he should be enthroned as the emperor, so as to inherit the orthodoxy of the world! ”

Although these scholars do not have the name of prime ministers, they do have the reality of prime ministers, so it is most appropriate for them to take the lead in this persuasion.

Then, the crown prince Yang Jiong, the king of Hailing, Yang Longyan, the second prince Yang Yan, the third prince Yang Yu and other clans also bowed down and shouted: "Please enthrone the king and become the emperor, so as to inherit the orthodoxy of the world." ”

Finally, the other ministers all bowed down and shouted: "Please enthrone the king and become the emperor, so as to inherit the orthodoxy of the world." ”

Yang Wu was extremely satisfied when he saw it, but his face was impassive.

He said lightly: "Everyone, Aiqing, get up first." Whether this prophecy is true or not remains to be verified, and it seems premature to say at this point. And even if the proverb is true, it does not necessarily mean that destiny is lonely. ”

Speaking of this, he let out a long sigh and said: "In the past, King Taizu Wu raised troops from Luzhou and fought everywhere for nearly twenty years, and there was a corner of Huainan, and what he did was nothing more than to restore the foundation of the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years. As the eldest son, he inherited Taizu's career, and for 20 years, he did not dare to slack off. ”

"Now Lone is just barely getting rid of the pseudo-Liang and avenging the death of the country for the Tang Dynasty, but the restoration of the Datang foundation has not yet been done, so how dare you peep into the supreme position? Therefore, please forgive me for not agreeing to your words today. ”

The ministers couldn't help but roll their eyes secretly when they heard this, it has been more than ten years since Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty, and I haven't seen you set up another Li emperor during this period.

And it has been a year since the destruction of Houliang, if you really plan to restore the Tang Dynasty, why don't you take action?

As for checking whether the prophecy is true, this is also like nonsense, just imagine that at this critical juncture of ascending the throne and becoming emperor, even if you know that the proverb is false, who dares to stand up and accuse? If there is really such a person, I am afraid that Yang Wu will not be able to spare him when the time comes.

Of course, although there was a lot of slander in his heart, but the ministers also knew that it was necessary at this time, since ancient times, those who have ascended the throne and claimed the emperor will only accept it after three invitations, and now it is only one invitation, of course Yang Wu has to refuse.

Therefore, all the ministers present tried hard to persuade one by one, and all kinds of words were said, but Yang Wu never let go, and finally had to give up.

And Chen Yanqian and others also thought carefully in their hearts, how should this great gift of enthronement and title of emperor be carried out, so as to not only conform to etiquette, but also show Yang Wu's expectations.

After rejecting the ministers' request, Yang Wu smiled and said: "It's cold and windy outside the city, and it's not a good place to talk, let's go to the city first!" ”

The crown prince Yang Jiong immediately stood up and said: "Father, this time my father returned to Luoyang, and he was tired of carriages and horses along the way, so the sons and daughters made their own decisions and brought the imperial chariot in the palace, and asked my father to take the imperial chariot back to the city!" ”

As he spoke, a large group of guards slowly approached carrying a huge chariot.

This imperial chariot was actually built by Zhu Youzhen, the late Emperor of the Liang Dynasty, and it is like a mobile house, and the interior decoration is extremely luxurious, which extremely highlights the majesty of the royal family.

In contrast, Wu Guo was much worse in this regard before, Yang Wu, as the king of Wu, rode horses most of the time, and in a few cases, he was only in a sedan chair carried by sixteen people.

After all, Yang Wu is still not used to such luxurious things.

But after all, the imperial chariot was also placed there, and Yang Jiong did it with a heart, so he smiled happily: "Okay, then sit down." ”

He turned over and dismounted, and was about to board the imperial chariot, when he suddenly thought of something, and then returned to the group, and walked towards a military general whose face was still a little pale.

"General Zhu, in this decisive battle with the Jin army, although the general was hit by six arrows, he fought more than once, and our army was able to win in the end, and the general contributed a lot. And take the royal chariot back to the city with Lone! ”

The military general was Zhu Qianyou, and the sentence "Zhu Qianyou died here" he shouted at the most critical time directly drove the morale of the soldiers of the whole army and laid the foundation for the great victory of the Wu army.

However, he himself was seriously injured and is barely able to ride a horse.

At this time, he suddenly heard that Yang Wu invited him to take the imperial chariot back to the city together, and such a glorious thing suddenly made him excited, and he said busily: "I can't do it, I can't help it!" How dare the last general deserve this honor? ”

Yang Wu laughed and said, "How can the general not be a general? Lone says you deserve it, then you deserve it! With that, he picked him up without saying anything and walked towards the Imperial Palace.

Zhu Qianyou was helpless, so he had to say again and again: "The king is very loving, and the last general will be panicked!" Please also ask the king to let go of the minister, and the minister will walk over by himself. ”

Yang Wu thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's good, but your injuries haven't healed, and it's inconvenient to walk." ”

He looked at Yang Jiong and said, "Prince, General Zhu is injured, so it's up to you to help him climb the imperial chariot!" ”

Yang Jiong hurriedly walked over and said, "Yes, the child obeys." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently supported Zhu Qianyou.

And Zhu Qianyou's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "Don't dare, it should be the last general to help the prince." ”

When Yang Wu heard this, his face showed satisfaction, and he boarded the imperial chariot with Zhu Qianyou, leaving only the stunned ministers outside.

The scene just now really couldn't surprise them, and riding the royal chariot with the king was a rare honor.

Zhu Qianyou used to be low-key and not very conspicuous in the army, but he didn't expect to get such a big courtesy this time, which really made them feel envious.

Of course, envy is envy, but no one among the ministers will be jealous, after all, they also know that all this is Zhu Qianyou's life.

So if anyone wants to get the honor, go to the battlefield and fight hard.

In fact, there were really people present who planned to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, and this was originally Yang Wu's original intention to treat Zhu Qianyou so politely.

Of course, in addition to envying Zhu Qianyou, many people also noticed their previous conversation.

When Zhu Qianyou said to Yang Jiong, "Help the prince", Yang Wu showed a smile on his face, from this point, many people understood that although Yang Yu made an auspicious move, this move was very good, but for now, Yang Wu's mind has not changed.

The prince he likes is still the eldest son Yang Jiong!
