Section 45 Daughter's House
Li Rui, the emperor of the Li Dynasty, has always had a good temperament, and there has never been any bad news of cruelty and inhumanity in the political arena, but he is suspicious by nature and the city government is very deep, at this point, even the shrewd and abnormal Emperor Wei wants to give him three points. At this moment, he was holding his Princess Heya's flying pigeon from Kuangzhou, although he was still standing in the hall with a gentle face, without speaking or pulling down his face, but the great eunuch Li Nan had already keenly felt the rising anger, as if it was a heavy undercurrent from the depths of the volcano, indicating the impending disaster.
"Your Majesty, the queen mother just sent someone to ask, you said yesterday that the prince is back, and you are going to Yongyang Hall for dinner today...... Now, are you going?" Li Nan secretly raised his eyes to look at the emperor's expression with extreme caution, and shook one hand behind his back slightly while motioning for everyone in the hall to retreat.
"The prince has worked this expedition. Mo Dongling loved his nephew and sent a master general to Ruhua day and night, and then replaced him. The widow should go and see him. The Emperor said this, but his feet did not move for a minute. Li Nan didn't dare to ask again for a while, so he had to wait beside him with a half-bow.
After touching a stick of incense, the letter in the emperor's hand had been held into a paper ball, and he asked lightly: "The Xiguan army is still in the hilly area?"
"Still ...... However, I heard that the doctors from the nearby counties have rushed over, and I think General Mo and all the soldiers will be able to recover as soon as possible and start as soon as possible. β
"Soon?" The emperor's two-word rhetorical question seemed to contain deep meaning, which frightened Li Nan into a cold sweat again, and was thinking about how to answer, when a small eunuch outside said at the door: "Your Majesty, please see you outside the prince's palace." β
"Oh?" the emperor was obviously a little surprised, slowly flattened the paper ball in his hand, walked back to the dragon chair, and said with a pleasant face: "Let the prince come in." β
Li Nan looked at the emperor, then at the door, bowed, and consciously withdrew.
Dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes, the noble prince entered the hall with an obvious scar on his forehead, and he was much darker and thinner, but his demeanor was still as warm as before, but his brows were slightly furrowed, and he looked worried.
"Father, the son is useless, so I have come to ask for sin. β
"You haven't been on the battlefield, and it's not easy to hold Ruhua and keep the Hu barbarian army from going any further. The emperor stretched out his hand to signal him to get up, paused for a moment and said, "Your uncle and the 30,000 Xiguan army are now suffering from an unknown epidemic, do you know?"
"Erchen has heard about it. I heard that this symptom is very strange, all of them are vomiting and diarrhea, but the medicine can not be stopped at all, but the diet has not found anything unusual, and the surrounding villages have never had such strange diseases. β
"Strange diseases?" the corners of the emperor's mouth moved slightly, "There are really many strange diseases in the world, and they are all in the Li Dynasty." β
Li Zheng heard what the emperor said, took two steps forward and asked, "Father, but who else has any strange illness?"
"Your sister Yao Jin and her 30,000 horses have only been in Kuangzhou for a day, and now they are vomiting and diarrhea, and it is difficult to move an inch. β
"There is such a coincidence...... Li Zheng heard that the emperor didn't seem to care about Yao Jin's illness at all, his tone was full of displeasure, and he was suspicious in his heart, and he didn't dare to be careless, he pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Ya'er has also worked very hard this way, I heard that she has collected 30,000 soldiers and horses for her father in Jiucheng and Yijiang, and now is the time to come in handy, how can it be so unfortunate that she also has the epidemic." β
"Yes, it is really not easy for her to collect 30,000 soldiers and horses for the widow!" The emperor's face was a little gloomy, and he turned his face slightly sideways and stared at Li Zheng for a long time. And Li Zheng pretended not to know, just hung his head and stood aside.
"What do you think if you let your sister's men go to Ruhua's aid?" the Emperor asked casually, fiddling with the string of beads in his hand.
Li Zheng was shocked when he heard this, although he understood in his heart that the reason why the emperor had not allowed the Xiguan army to return to Ruhua before, was nothing more than tabooing the Mo family and did not want to let one sect dominate. But after all, Mo Dongling is his uncle, and it is a taboo for his relatives to be in power, so he has always deliberately distanced himself from this uncle, and he deliberately wrote such a letter to show his loyalty and ambition when he was in Ruhua. Now that he suddenly heard Emperor Li ask such a question, he didn't dare to answer at will, lest he be careless and attract suspicion.
"Erchen...... Erchen is not good at military affairs, and this battle against the Hu clan has made Erchen realize how lacking he is in this regard, and where can he say any available advice at this moment! β
The emperor looked at this son, looked at it, and considered it, his eyes turned from Li Zheng's body to the crumpled letter in front of him, and the four big characters on the envelope, which were not very good-looking, "Father and Emperor Personally Opened", looked even more twisted at this moment. He closed his eyes and said slowly: "Your sister is a girl after all, since she has promised the Murong family, even if there is some civil strife in the royal family of Fujian, but after all, everything is settled now, and it has nothing to do with her husband and wife - she should stay in Fujian to be her princess, fight these things, and if she continues to mix in, it will damage the reputation of the princess." β
Li Zheng chuckled in his heart, and finally understood what the emperor meant, so he said respectfully: "Father loves the princess and thinks about the princess wholeheartedly. Erchen thought that he could first send someone to receive all the 30,000 soldiers and horses in nine cities and one river, and then send Her Royal Highness the princess back to Fujian. β
"If so...... She won't?"
"No?" Li Zheng raised his head in surprise, looking at the emperor's blazing eyes, all kinds of news related to Yao Jin flashed in his mind for a while, and he suddenly understood.
"The son has a way, let the princess nod and agree. β
At this time, Yao Jin in Kuangzhou City, just finished drinking a bowl of medicine, covered his stomach and dragged his weak legs to sit down by the window, and secretly scolded Zhao Yu in his heart for not counting, and he didn't know how many crotons, those strong and strong soldiers were all dark, but she was even more vomiting and diarrhea and fever, her little face was pale, and she was sent to the Kuangzhou County Shoufu from the camp outside the city overnight, so scared that the Kuangzhou County Shou had a big face and was also white, and got up in the middle of the night, and even had no time to wear a coat outside Yao Jin's room, anxious, for fear that Her Royal Highness the princess would have something in his jurisdiction, and his life would be lostγ
"Someone ......" Yao Jin called weakly, and heard a few gurgling sounds in her stomach, she swallowed her saliva, and finally had a little appetite.
"Slaves and maids knock on Her Royal Highness!" As soon as the door opened, seven or eight girls came in and knelt on the ground.
"Get up, go get some food, lighter, this princess is a little hungry. Yao Jin stretched out his hand and motioned for them to get up.
"Yes. β
After a while, a bowl of vegetarian porridge, four plates of side dishes, four plates of fine snacks, and a cup of corn paste were served hot in front of Yao Jin.
This county guard is quite good at eating, this dish is exquisite, no worse than in the palace. Yao Jin was eating, thinking about the emperor's letter when he looked at her at the moment, and he didn't know what kind of anger he would become, although his body was weak, his heart was extremely happy.
