Chapter 14: Attacking the Heart
The sunshine in early spring is always mild, and after experiencing a baptism of spring rain, Shouchun City has shown vitality everywhere.
Yuan Shu's palace is still standing, in the clear weather, those patrolling armor soldiers have lifted their spirits, and there is no trace of the shadow of the previous days on their expressions, the bloody wind and rain will always pass, and those who should stay will stay. It seems that those drizzles washed away not only the dirt of Shouchun, but also the haze in their hearts.
Yuan Shu is still lying on his side on his dragon chair, without the singing and dancing of the previous days, Yuan Shu now looks like he has aged a lot. In fact, he already knew about Yan Xiang's death, and although he knew in his heart that this was an inevitable result, but at this moment, it was inevitable that there would still be some sadness.
Without the presence of his henchman Yang Hong, Yuan Shu was lying like this, and the eunuch on the side lowered his head and waited for Yuan Shu's orders, but he didn't hear Yuan Shu say a word for several hours.
The closed palace door was finally pushed open, and the soft light cut into the palace like this, Yuan Shu let go of his right hand leaning on his head, looked up, and saw Ji Ling, who was wearing armor, walking in with his head held high.
"Back to the lord, General Zhang has returned from Runan, and the thousands of guards brought at this time are already outside Shouchun City, waiting for the lord's order at any time."
It wasn't until Ji Ling finished speaking that Yuan Shu reacted. Because he wants to be the emperor, he has ordered Yang Hong to order all the officials under his rule to be transferred back to prepare for the pilgrimage, Zhang Xun is one of his generals, so his presence is naturally indispensable in this ceremony of being the emperor.
"It's good if Haoruo is back, let him go down and let his soldiers and horses be stationed outside the city, as for him himself, let him go back to his house directly, and let him see his wife and children on a rare day and enjoy the joy of family."
"No!"
Ji Ling leaned over to receive the order, and was about to turn around, but who knew that at this time, Yuan Shu suddenly spoke.
"Haoruo is not in a hurry, I will naturally let people out of the city to inform. If Fu Yi is fine, stay and talk to Lone..."
Hearing this, Ji Ling suddenly felt very embarrassed, since he became Yuan Yao's henchman, he tried to avoid contact with Yuan Shu alone.
In the past, he was a city guard general, and the place where he often moved was the military camp, and if Yuan Shu was looking for him, it was nothing more than a matter of military affairs. Even if Yuan Shu is now clamoring to be the emperor, Ji Ling is assigned to the palace as the president of the forbidden army, and he rarely chats with Yuan Shuchang, if he really wants to calculate carefully, the last time Yuan Shu chatted with him alone was when they entered Wancheng.
"I think when I was alone in Luoyang, Fu Yi followed me, and now it has been seventeen or eighteen years."
"It is the greatest blessing of the last general to be able to follow the lord, and the lord's favor to the last general in the past seventeen or eighteen years is too much, and these last generals are remembered in their hearts and dare not forget."
Yuan Shu nodded self-deprecatingly, and said with a smile: "It's not just Fu Yi, after the original war against Dong, Tang Jing recommended himself to come to the lonely camp, and Tang Jing is already older than Lone, even if he is Lonely, he has to be called Mr."
In those years, the army was still talking about the bad life experience of Yu Jing, but now that I think about it, it is really ridiculous. Along the way, whether it is to meet Cao Mengde or migrate to Shouchun, it has relied on Jingjing's golden and jade good words. Lone also knew that if there was no Jing, Lone would not have achieved what he is today. ”
Yuan Shu slowly walked in front of Ji Ling, Ji Ling seemed to want to say something, but Yuan Shu continued to speak: "Si Ren has passed away, and I don't want to say anything more. But lonely these few nights dreaming of the past with Jing Jing, waking up and thinking about it and crying every time, hating to see Jing Jing immortal. ”
After observing Ji Ling with two eyes, Yuan Shu did not mean to stop at all, "Fu Yi may feel very hypocritical, the death of Shu Jing is the mastermind, and now he has to miss it, it is really a kind of irony to say." ”
"The last general will not dare, then Yan Yujing is a chaotic minister and thief, and now he is to blame for being punished by the Lord."
"Rebels and thieves?" Yuan Shu playfully repeated Ji Ling's words, "If you say that it is a chaotic minister and thief, you don't believe it yourself!" Lone also knows that it is not the time to be the emperor now, and Lone also knows that if he is called the emperor now, he will become the target of the public, but Lone is not convinced! ”
Yuan Shu's eyes suddenly became sharp: "After Gu Nai is the fourth and third dukes, the ancestors and ancestors have made many sacrifices for his Han family, and now the Han family is in danger and the world is in chaos, since Gu is the flag bearer of the world's family, why can't he replace it?"
Cao Mengde? Yuan Benchu? Liu Jingsheng? These people want to stop Lone from being called the emperor, Lone just doesn't understand why he wants to take this step, the main ministers and the main ministers, the so-called main ministers shouldn't work together, if the lone emperor is called him, Yan Yujing will definitely be ranked among the three dukes! ”
Yuan Shu's demeanor suddenly became lost, "Yes, as soon as Tang Jing died, Lone had already become the finger of Qianfu." Externally, they will be regarded as lonely thieves, and internally, you will definitely feel lonely and unkind. These orphans understand that you don't have to say some good things to perfunctory loneliness, they are all lonely and self-walking, and these should be borne by loneliness themselves. ”
At this time, Yuan Shu was like a stubborn child, logically he felt that he had done something he shouldn't have done, but objectively he felt that this thing had to be done. He will regret and grieve Yan Xiang's death, but he will definitely not regret it, because nothing is more important in his heart than being the emperor.
Yuan Shu, who had already returned to the dragon chair, was suddenly deflated, and no one in the palace went to speak, so he was silent for a long time, and Ji Ling couldn't resist the pressure and claimed to retire.
Yuan Shu waved his hand after all, but the moment Ji Ling turned around, Yuan Shu's gaze was locked on him all the time.
"Actually, Fu Yi and Yu Jing are also the same kind of people."
Ji Ling couldn't walk anymore, his legs seemed to be tied to hundreds of catties of boulders in an instant, and it was difficult to take a step in the face of Yuan Shu's sudden words.
"Ming Cheng's mind is lonely and can roughly guess some. He is a smart child, although he is an orphan, he is also a child of the Yuan family. This time Lone's attitude is conniving, Lone also wants to see how capable my Yuan Highway son can be, even if Lone's father loses, isn't Ming Cheng also preserving the Yuan family to the greatest extent? ”
Ji Ling's legs were already trembling, cold sweat was running down his forehead, even though it was still early spring, the underwear inside his armor was already completely soaked.
"After all, Changle Palace was built by Lone with the approval of Ming Cheng, this time Lone wants to know Fu Yi's attitude, and I also hope that Fu Yi can stand on Lone's side.
Even if it is already a certain death game to be called emperor, Lone also decided to fight it. In fact, our lord and minister have come all the way, and they have fought less?
I wonder what you think? The great general of the lonely future..."
