Chapter 59: Blood
Just when there was a disagreement between the two brothers Yuanyao and Yuanrui, Bifeng Forest, the general Hu Shenze, was leading Hu Dun, who had just been dismissed, to Lantian Palace to ask to see Hu Bizhu. At the gate of the palace, they met the imperial physician Peng Jun coming out with a medicine box, and the two couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Imperial Physician Peng, the queen is unwell?" β
Peng Jun glanced at Pang Yu'er, a young palace maid who was secretly wiping away tears at the palace gate, and the evil smile on her face was fleeting: "The two adults are relaxed, the queen is just occasionally caught with the cold, and it is not a big problem." β
Hu Shen breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's good, if even the queen has an accident, then I'm Hu ......."
Bidding farewell to Peng Jun, Hu Shen and the two hurriedly entered to meet Hu Bizhu. As soon as Hu Bizhu's figure flashed from the back hall, Hu Shen immediately pulled Hu Dun to the ground and let out a sad voice: "The queen saves my Hu family, the queen mother's bones are not cold, and a villain jumps out to frame Da Si Nong, Your Majesty was deceived by it and dismissed Da Si Nong's official position, and if this continues, there will be no place for me and my Hu family to stand in this court." β
Unexpectedly, Hu Bizhu said coldly: "This palace doesn't have the ability of the queen mother, I'm afraid I will disappoint the two uncles, and I don't know when this palace itself can do it!" β
Hu Shen and the two looked at each other and stopped crying. After thinking for a moment, Hu Shen kowtowed and admonished: "The queen must not be so negative, glory needs to rely on her own efforts to fight, the queen mother has gone all the way, and not all of them are smooth, since the queen mother can do it, then why can't you, queen?" β
Hu Bizhu: "Uncle said it lightly, Cui Zhaoyi has the emperor's favor, what does the palace use to fight with others?" β
Hu Shen: "There is the entire Hu family behind you, and her Cui family is just a high-ranking family with an empty name." If your position is not guaranteed, then what happened to Dasi Nong today will be repeated in every one of our Hu clansmen. In the final analysis, how can anyone not make mistakes, and love is sometimes very pale in the face of right and wrong. β
Hu Bizhu unconsciously perked up: "What does the second uncle want to say?" β
Hu Shen: "The old minister just reminded the queen that if there is anything you need help with, there are many protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials of the Hu family, and there is always something you can use." β
Hu Bizhu nodded: "The second uncle's words are remembered by the palace, and the fourth uncle's affairs are forgiven by the palace." β
Hu Dunyu cried: "If the departure of the old minister can be exchanged for the queen's vigilance, it will be worth it." β
On the other hand, after Yuan Ye was "invited" out of Changle Palace, he felt disheartened for a while, and his ambition when he first saw Yuan Rui had disappeared at this moment. It doesn't make sense, under the double stimulation of his mother's hatred and the temptation of the throne, how can there be someone so indifferent, so calm, and so indisputable. Could it be that he has just taken the first step towards glory and then he has stumbled? He was not reconciled. Or is it that Yuan Rui is worried that his strength is not enough to fight, if this is the case, then his situation will be worrying, in case Yuan Rui relays his lobbying words to Yuan Yao, don't say anything glory at that time, even if it continues to live in this world, it will become a luxury. After returning to the inn where he lived, the more Yuan Ye thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he gritted his teeth and stepped out of the room: "People are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, Yuan Rui, Yuan Rui, it is you who do not seize the opportunity, but don't blame this king for not remembering the old feelings." "I went to the palace to face the saint.
Yuan Ye entered the palace from the outside, and there was also a carriage in the palace from the direction of the Taiji Hall to drive slowly out, and gradually stopped when it reached the gate, Yuan Rui poked his head out of the car, and said hello to the guards, and the carriage then passed through the city gate, turned around and went west.
Yuan Rui lifted the curtain again, looked back at the magnificent door behind him that he had entered and exited countless times, and thought thoughtfully. "Turn around and go to Honglu Temple!" Yuan Rui suddenly shouted. Startled, the driver jerked on the reins, and after a violent shaking, he barely managed to stabilize the body.
Honglu Temple is located near the Dongyang Gate of the Imperial City, and is mainly responsible for the reception of tributes and other things in Siyi. Yuan Rui's sudden visit surprised Dahonglu Wang Min, in the matter of recommending the new Yulin supervisor, Wang Min helped Hu Shen and Yuan Rui to fight-for-tat, it stands to reason that he has already formed a beam, and now he suddenly came to the door, could it be that he wanted to find fault. However, the surface article still has to be sufficient: "Your Excellency is coming, I don't know what His Royal Highness King Changle is about?" β
Yuan Rui didn't talk nonsense with him much, and went straight to the point: "Dare to ask the prince, where is the creeping envoy now?" β
Wang Min: "It's really unfortunate that His Highness came down, the creeping envoy Su Pu Liyan just left Luoyang half an hour ago and returned to China. β
Yuan Rui gave a slight salute: "The king of this book has also taken his leave." "I went out without looking back.
Yuan Rui came and went like the wind, leaving Wang Min standing on the ground, with an inexplicable expression.
Shaoqing Xue Gang slowly approached, and accompanied him to look at Yuan Rui's distant back: "King Changle, what's wrong?" What do you want to do? β
Wang Min squinted at him: "No matter what he wants to do, this matter is by no means unusual, don't go and inform the general quickly!" β
Xue Gang left in a huff, secretly scolding himself for talking too much, so that he was lost by a word of his own words on a quiet afternoon.
Yuan Rui galloped back to the house, and found Shangguan Qian, who was explaining the essentials of martial arts to Sun Qian in the backyard, but he didn't have time to explain too much, so he asked Shangguan Qian: "Senior, if this king asks you to do something that disobeys the holy order, what will happen to you?" β
Sun Qian's face changed greatly: "Brother Rui, what are you going to do dangerously?" β
Yuan Rui: "This matter is imminent and must be done, otherwise the war in my Great Wei will never end." Continue to ask Shangguan Qian, "Senior, what do you say?" β
Shangguan Qian didn't answer, but "accused" Yuan Rui and said: "Your Highness has time to ask these boring questions and waste time, it is better to prepare to prepare for the road earlier." β
Yuan Rui cast a grateful gaze at Shangguan Qian, Shangguan Qian has not followed him for too long, but it is really commendable that he can trust himself so unconditionally.
After the two of them galloped on the official road leading from Luoyang to the north, two horse-riding bearded men wearing leather boots finally appeared in their field of vision. "Gentle Messenger ahead?" Yuan Rui called out loudly.
The two Hu people were waiting quietly for Yuan Rui and the others. One of them straightened the animal skin robe on his body, stretched out his right hand and rested it on his chest, and bowed slightly to Yuan Rui: "I am Supu Liyan, representing our great Rouran Khan to envoy your country, what do you call this friend?" β
Yuan Rui clasped his fists with both hands and saluted back in the way of the Central Plains: "Great Wei Changle Wang Yuanrui." β
Su Pu Liyan bent down again, and the amplitude was much larger than just now: "It turned out to be the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor, and the villain heard that His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes were as sharp as an eagle and his mind was as vast as a prairie before he went to your country. β
Yuan Rui smiled slightly: "Why have you men on horseback also learned to flatter people?" β
Su Pu Liyan shook his hand again and again: "No, no, no, we men who grew up on the grassland never lie, otherwise they will be punished by the gods." This ability to open his eyes and say nonsense couldn't help but make Yuan Rui and the others embarrassed, and the conversation changed to the point, "Supu Liyan is very grateful for the hospitality of His Majesty the Emperor of your country, may I ask His Royal Highness the prince if there is anything else to do with Supu Liyan now?" β
Yuan Rui: "That's the case, after sending off your envoy, our Majesty thought about it, and always felt that this country's writing was too sloppy, and it was not enough to express our Majesty's admiration for the Khan of your country, so I sent this king to return to the country, and then handed it over to your envoy after going back for a little polishing, which is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the inconvenience caused to your envoy is still looking at Haihan." β
Su Puli stretched his hand into his arms and took it twice, and then gradually stopped, and his two eyes rolled back and forth: "Please tell His Royal Highness the Emperor of your country, His Majesty the Emperor's heart Su Pu Liyan will definitely truthfully pass on to the ears of our great khan, as for the national letter, it is just a form, and our great khan will not care." Your country is now suffering from the rebellion of the villains, and the sooner our gentle warriors step on the war horses, the people of your country will be able to stay away from the war a moment earlier, and it really shouldn't be delayed! β
Yuan Rui sneered: "Your envoy is really thinking about others everywhere!" β
Su Pu Liyan patted his chest lightly with his fist: "Who made us friends?" β
Yuan Rui glanced at Shangguan Qian: "Friend, this king is going to be sorry for you today!" β
Before the words fell, Shangguan Qian drew his sword out of its sheath, and the whole person flew off the horse. Su Pu Liyan and his deputy envoy hadn't reacted yet, but when they heard the sound of a "bell", Shangguan Qian, who was ten steps away, had already put his knife into the sheath.
"His Royal Highness ...... the Prince" As soon as he said four words, Su Pu Liyan realized that something was wrong, his head was slowly leaving his neck, and when he wanted to reach out to help, his head had detached from his body and fell heavily to the ground.
Yuan Rui looked at the two human heads with strange expressions under his feet, and bowed deeply: "This king has no grievances with you, but for the sake of my people of Great Wei, I have to do this extraordinary thing today." And if you die and know, you do not have to forgive this king. Maybe it won't be long before we meet in hell, and then the king will have a fair battle with you! β
After searching for the certificate of origin from Su Pu Liyan, Yuan Rui said to Shangguan: "Go back, this king still has to enter the palace to confess his guilt, so don't delay too much." β
Shangguan Qian shouted: "The worm was killed by the subordinates, and the guilt of the essentials is also the punishment of the subordinates, so Your Highness should return to the house with peace of mind." β
Yuan Rui: "It's not the king who hits the seniors, the seniors can't bear this matter in front of them, so don't fight with the king, if the royal brother really wants to kill the king, there will be seniors to protect Xiaoqian for the king." β
Shangguan Qian: "Your Highness, rest assured, with me Shangguan Qian, no one will want to touch a single hair of the princess." β
Yuan Rui hugged Shangguan Qian's shoulders tightly: "With the words of the seniors, Yuan Rui has no regrets!" β
