Chapter 58: A Few Storms (Part I)
Chapter 33: Several storms settle the day
"Your Highness's words are inappropriate."
Yuan Bao Ju saw a young general of the arch guard behind Yuwentai come forward with a loud voice, and his tone was full of ruffians, and he dragged on for a long time. But this man looked very heroic.
"Who are you?" Yuan Bao Ju asked.
"You dare to question the Lord's edict?" Yuan Bi also asked angrily.
"Don't dare." The man saluted hastily, "Governor Zhao Gui." ”
As soon as Yuan Baoju found out that Zhao Gui spoke, the other generals all quieted down and only looked at this person. Yuwentai, on the other hand, stood silently as if it was none of his business.
Zhao Gui stared at the Yuan Bao torch and said, "We are all subordinates of Daxingtai, and the generals of Guanzhong are born and die to follow Daxingtai, and they are all deeply favored by Daxingtai, and they will respect Daxingtai's wishes." Daxing Taiqi is a heavy Yuwen envoy, and he has long had the heart of his future successor. We have always lived and died with Yuwen Envoy, and we are willing to obey the orders of Daxingtai to serve Yuwen Envoy as the leader. Zhao Gui said and looked back at the generals behind him, and said, "I am equivalent to this heart, His Royal Highness the King of Nanyang may wish to express this intention to the lord." ”
"Yes! This is a very true statement! ”
"I only wish to serve Yuwen as an envoy!"
……
The generals are gossiping.
The chaotic scene is about to get out of hand. The ingot torch grew in the deep palace, and he had only seen the prosperity of the imperial capital, where had he seen these proud soldiers, and his heart suddenly sank, and he watched Zhao Gui and others make trouble at some beheavail. Only then did I understand in my heart that this big platform was not so easy to do.
"Shut up!" Yu Wentai suddenly shouted angrily. Immediately it was quiet.
Yuan Bao Ju and Yuan Bi really realized the prestige of Yuwentai in the hearts of the generals in Guanzhong.
The only one who didn't speak was Yu Jin, but he had the most thoughts in his heart, but he was extremely relieved. It turns out that Yuwentai succeeded to the military and political affairs of Guanzhong, which is a little far-fetched to say. Now suddenly Luoyang suddenly came to Luoyang, a king of Nanyang with imperial blood, and wanted to take over Guanzhong out of thin air, which is actually a good thing to determine people's hearts. There is a difference between inside and outside, this time the generals will no longer waver in their hearts, and they must all follow Yuwentai with iron hearts.
"If Daxingtai has long taken a fancy to Yuwentai and hopes for his succession, does Daxingtai know that he will die early in the future?" Yuan Bi suddenly said out of thin air.
"Shut up!" Yuan Bao Ju was extremely fast, knowing that this word would offend Yuwentai and others, so he immediately drank Yuan Bi.
"The pillar stone of Daxing Taiwan, now suddenly died at the hands of Hou Mo Chen Yue, the lord is grief-stricken, and the prime minister Gao Huan was shocked to hear that the bad news has also been transferred back to Luoyang from Jinyang, and has ordered Gao Cheng to go to Chang'an to mourn. The most important thing now is the safety of Guanzhong, and the stability of people's hearts is the first priority. Only when the hearts of the people are determined can they talk about the crusade against Hou Mo and Chen Yue to avenge the great revenge of the head of the great stage. The Lord's edict has no other intentions, and shows favor to Guanzhong. The Lord regards Daxingtai as a pillar stone, and Guanzhong as the heart and lungs of Dawei, and will inevitably support it with all his might. If you talk about the hearts of the generals......"
Yuan Baoju looked at Zhao Gui and the others, then walked up a few steps to face Yuwentai, staring at Yuwentai and said, "Since you don't obey me, only obey Yuwen Envoy, is it that Yuwen Envoy Jun disobeys me and refuses to obey the Lord's edict?" ”
The ingot torch suddenly pointed the finger at Yuwentai. Since Zhao Gui has made it clear that the generals only serve Yuwentai alone, if the generals do not obey the emperor's edict at this time, it will be Yuwentai's fault. If Yuwentai refuses to bring the generals to submission, he is guilty of resisting the holy order. Moreover, the words of the Yuan Bao Torch also clearly stated that not only the emperor Yuan Xiu attached great importance to the affairs in Guanzhong, but also the great prime minister Gao Huan. Once Guanzhong takes over the unfavorable, then Guanzhong will become the target of public criticism, and the result will be difficult to say.
Yu Wentai and Yu Jin both understood the words of the ingots.
Yu Wentai didn't show any fear and embarrassment, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the King of Nanyang is too worried. General Zhao Gui only said that the generals were willing to take me as the leader, and did not say that they would fight against the emperor's edict. Since I think I am the first, I should lead the generals to welcome His Highness to succeed him. Yu Wentai said before bowing.
A stone fell to the ground in Yu Jin's heart, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.
Zhao Gui secretly seemed to notice Yu Jin's expression, he looked at Yu Wentai again, and then saluted. Although the generals were unconvinced, they could only meet Yu Wentai and Zhao Gui when they saw that they were like this.
The ingots torch secretly rested, and then said, "Don't be polite, I hope that the generals will do their best to assist in the future." ”
Yu Wentai had already straightened up and smiled, "Since His Royal Highness has succeeded Daxingtai, he should stay in Chang'an and don't have to go back to Luoyang." ”
Yuan Bao Ju was stunned, he didn't think of this. Yuan Bi was also shocked.
Yu Jin felt that it was getting more and more interesting.
Zhao Gui was relieved.
Yuan Bao Ju thought about it for a moment, and laughed loudly, "What Yuwen Envoy Jun said is very true, and it should be so." It's just that he also asked Yuwen Envoy Jun to send a capable person back to Luoyang with General Yuanbi to clarify the matter here. ”
Yu Wentai paused for a moment and looked at Yu Jin. Yu Jin understood what he meant, and immediately responded with his eyes.
"It should be so, General Wei Yu Jin and General Yuanbi returned to Luoyang to the Ming Lord." Yu Wentai replied.
Yuan Bi's heart suddenly became heavy, thinking about the thousands of miles from Chang'an to Luoyang, he was like a thorn in his back.
There was no wind all night, and Chang'an City seemed to have changed its appearance due to the rain and wind. The aura of slaughter disappeared without a trace, and the noise and peace of the past were restored. The spring is warm, the peach and willow reflect each other, and the warbler sings and swallows...... Under the breeze and sun, there is a rich color of red dust.
Gao Cheng stands on the top of the lofty pavilion and leans on the railing to look, the distance is full of thick green, the lake is sparkling, and the scattered pavilions and pavilions are uniquely embellished. Nearby, a large field of pink apricot blossoms with falling petals adding delicate colors to the slightly moist land in the light and shadow of the day.
The breeze swept across his cheeks, and the scorching midspring sun shone warmly. Cui Jishu slowly approached him, he thought that Gao Cheng had not noticed him at all.
"What do you know?" Who knew that just when he walked behind him, Gao Cheng asked.
"Lord Lang, the post house only said that the people living in the pavilion opposite are also distinguished guests, and they are from Nanliang. Nothing else will say anything else. Cui Jishu looked at Gao Cheng's back with a sneering expression.
"Nanliang is here?" Gao Cheng seemed to be asking him, and it was also like asking himself, and his heart was a little settled. Nanliang probably didn't have the heart to take care of Dawei's family affairs, and Guanzhong was very far away from Jiankang, even if he had the heart, he couldn't do it. It seems to be just a regular high roller.
Gao Cheng turned around, looked at Cui Jishu and asked, "When did you hear that Nanyang Wang Yuanbao Ju succeeded to the Kansai Daxingtai?" ”
Cui Jishu saw Gao Cheng's gloomy face, and hurriedly replied, "It's early this morning, and I immediately made it clear to Lord Lang." But I'm afraid it was only a few days ago. Who knew that Yuwentai was willing to agree, and the generals in Guanzhong were also willing to surrender. ”
"Yuwentai has agreed, who dares to disagree?" Gao Cheng smiled coldly.
"Lord Lang is saying that King Nanyang is just a puppet on the throne?" Cui Jishu asked in surprise. "It's just that in this way, the king of Nanyang has a famous position, and Yuwentai has real power, can he still intervene in the affairs of Guanzhong?"
"Not necessarily." Gao Cheng said as he suddenly turned around again, and looked at a pavilion with delicate curves and tall eaves in the trees by the lake a little further away.
There was always a strange feeling in his heart. Since being reminded by Cui Jishu by Weishui, he also feels that he seems to have been secretly followed all the way, and this feeling has continued until now. The familiar atmosphere grew stronger and stronger, and it was about to evoke some memories that he had forgotten in his heart. And he was keenly aware that the feeling of coming out was not far away.
"Chaoyun Station", the largest post house in Chang'an City. Gao Cheng has actually been good and bad after his illness by the Weishui River, and he parted ways with Hou Jing, and has been living here since he entered Chang'an City lightly and unknowingly. The name of the pavilion where he lives is called "Gaotang Temple", it is the most majestic and magnificent pavilion in Chaoyunyi, but it is a secluded place in the back garden, and it is unknown, so it is quiet and undisturbed. Looking at the lake from the Gaotang Temple, you can see another ethereal and charming pavilion, called "Yunmengtai".
Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu had never seen the master of Yunmengtai go in and out of it, and they only saw a few maids, always silent and orderly, not like the servants in ordinary people's homes.
Gao Cheng retracted his gaze and asked, "If nothing goes wrong, our Duke Puyang must have gone to meet the new Kansai Daxingtai and the Commander of the Horses." ”
Hou Jing originally thought that it was not certain that he would not be able to see the new Daxingtai. Who knew he had miscalculated. When he was invited to join the Daxing platform, his heart suddenly felt like a dream, but he hesitated.
Walking straight into the hall for dozens of steps, I looked up and suddenly saw Yuwentai standing under the eaves waiting. Hou Jing hesitated a little in his heart, and then he remembered that he hadn't thought carefully about how to negotiate with Yuwentai. In the dark center, he hates Gao Cheng even more, and he hides behind the scenes but lets him face the tricky scene.
"Puyang Gong!" Yu Wentai called out loudly, but stood still, just made a gesture, signaling that the generals did not have to follow Hou Jing anymore.
The generals and soldiers retreated quietly and quietly in an orderly manner, and in a moment of rapid silence, Hou Jing suddenly showed a very strong sense of the majesty of Yuwentai here. He was even more uneasy.
"The general has always been good?" Hou Jing is not a dull person, and immediately said with a smile on his face, "There has been a great change in Guanzhong, and I was also ordered by the prime minister to rush back to Luoyang from Boling, and I was ordered to follow the prince to Chang'an...... What are you doing, he didn't say anything, but he stopped saying half of what he said in time, and it seemed quite difficult. But he made it very clear that he was ordered by Prime Minister Gao Huan to come to Chang'an. He cleaned himself up.
"The prince is here too?" Yu Wentai asked with a smile. He deliberately looked behind Hou Jing, and there were only a few haired generals who followed Hou Jing in the distance.
"Yes, yes, the son of the world is not accustomed to the water and soil, and he is sick. That's why I was ordered to come to Daxingtai and meet the general. Hou Jing replied repeatedly.
Yu Wentai said with a smile: "Puyang Gong is far away from the rivers and lakes, not to be a lobbyist for the Gao family? This is already a faction, and Gao Huan is not taken into account.
Hou Jing knew that Yu Wentai was not a frivolous Meng Lang person, and since he dared to say so, he must have the capital to say so. He smiled, stared at Yuwentai for a moment, and then smiled again, walked to Yuwentai's side by side with two very slow steps, and whispered: "Who am more intimate with the Gao family between me and the general, the general naturally understands in his heart." As he spoke, he took a closer look at Yuwen Tai and said, "The general is really exquisite, and he is expected everywhere. ”
As he spoke, his face softened again, and he said with a look of helplessness, "General, forgive me, I am just an arrow shot by the prime minister and the prince, and the bow is in their hands, and I can't help myself." ”
