Chapter 156: The prime minister is in a predicament alone
I have to say that Yuwentai made a risky move. If you win, it must be a great victory, but if you lose because of a loss, it must be a defeat that is irretrievable.
The emperor's ingots were staring at the map at this time, but he lowered his head and was silent, as if he was not looking at the map.
Or Zhao Gui couldn't help it, the relationship between him and Yuwentai was intimate and entangled, and it was impossible to separate. "Prime Minister, now the situation must not be lost, it is better to divide the troops to protect it, in case of emergency, our generals are willing to protect the safety of the society with their lives for the sake of the Lord and the Prime Minister, please think twice." Zhao Gui said and looked back at Dugu Xin, Li Bi and the others behind him, and there was a trace of murder in his eyes.
Yu Jin hesitated for a moment, he knew Yu Wentai's temper too well, but this matter was too big, he finally persuaded, "Yuan Guiyan is our lungs, please think twice." ”
Yu Wentai suddenly glanced at Zuo Cheng Suxuan. Su Sui lowered his head and drank tea, as if he was at ease.
Including the emperor's ingots torch, at least the people in the Liangyi Hall know how the "Great Wei", whose capital is in Chang'an, came about. In fact, it is the cornerstone of the original Daxingtai He Batyue, and He Batyue is the real creator of this "Great Wei". It was only because of the accident that Hou Mo and Chen Yue killed He Bayue that the current prime minister Yu Wentai seized the opportunity to welcome the former emperor Yuan Xiu, who was originally interested in the west, to Chang'an, that there was this "Great Wei" who could fight against the court.
The foundation of this "Great Wei" is too shallow, just Guan Long. Because of Yuwentai's Pinghou Mo Chenyue and Cao Ni, it took several battles to settle down. Even so, it is also surrounded by the Eastern Wei Dynasty in the east, Tuyuhun in the west, Rouran in the north, and Liang State in the south, all of which are stronger than this "Great Wei". In this situation surrounded by strong enemies, how to survive is a problem, not to mention how to enrich the country and strengthen the people and prosper the community.
Yu Wentai was already determined at this time, but he was extremely calm, no longer looking at the map, turned to look at the governors and said lightly, "Isn't your mind like this a thief's plan?" Presumably, Gao Huan and Gao Cheng had already expected that the two armies would come and strangle Tongguan and Pujin Pass, and we would be stationed in Chang'an, and we would not dare to easily go out of Tongguan and take the initiative to meet them. Since the 'Great Prime Minister' and the 'Great General' expected that we would not be able to hold out, they had this contemptuous mind, and they could no longer imagine that we would attack them by surprise. The labor division came from afar, and he was a proud soldier, taking advantage of his unstable foothold and attacking it unprepared, why not overcome it? ”
Yuwentai's eyes were scorching, he glanced at the generals, and his voice was cold, "Looking forward and fearing the future, what division of troops and refusal, this common strategy, falling into Gao Huan and Gao Cheng's calculations, will you definitely be able to keep Chang'an?" He suddenly raised his voice, "I have made up my mind, and I will immediately order troops to arrive in Guangyang." ”
Seeing the domineering side leakage of the prime minister, the governors and generals also felt a chill on their bodies, and they took orders in unison.
Without further ado, Yuwentai only thought about the war and was ready to go to Guangyang immediately, no matter what, to hold Chang'an. With Tongguan and Guangyang as the two barriers of Chang'an, keeping the national capital and protecting the Son of Heaven is the foundation for keeping the Great Wei Sheji.
Out of the Liangyi Palace, the sky will be transparent, that is, until the early hours of the morning, the night's fear, the tiring decision and the prestige of the generals, calmed the heart of the emperor's ingots torch, and worried about Zuo Cheng Su Sui, the only thing that did not remember was himself. At this time, the north wind weakened, but the weather became extremely cold. I didn't sleep all night, and I wasn't very sleepy at this time, but the colic in my stomach that had been forgotten broke out violently. Somehow, I remembered the steaming bowl of red date corn porridge. But it was only a fleeting moment, and at this time, I remembered the white-clothed figure with fluttering clothes as cold as frost. The war is imminent, and he is not sure of the future of Dawei, maybe he will never see each other again in this life, right? He can make decisions with extreme determination, and that's because he has no distractions when making decisions. But he is always in the mood for the cold in the heights.
Riding horses and whips all the way back home, what I wanted was to say goodbye to my wife Yuan Yuying. Who knew that as soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, he happened to meet a waiting servant, saying that the prince wanted to see the prime minister. Yuwentai then remembered that this Rouran son Bald Tujia was an extremely important figure at this time.
Bald Tujia lives in a quiet small courtyard in the Prime Minister's mansion. This small courtyard is self-contained, not close to the front hall, not noisy, not close to the back garden, and will not be entangled.
Yu Wentai had already heard Hu Ji's voice and came out of nowhere.
It's rare that Bald Tujia can sit still without being in a hurry. Obviously, he knows the news better, and even the future safety of Rou Ran is tied to him at this moment, but this young son is so calm.
Yu Wentai heard Hu Ji's voice desolate and distant, but it suddenly made his heart settle. reminded him of Daijun and Wuchuan, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the grass is green, and there are herds of cattle and sheep...... When he came slowly, he pushed the door into the small courtyard, and the sound of the beard stopped abruptly.
The moment the gate of the courtyard opened, Bald Tujia, who was standing under the eaves in front of the house, also went down the stone steps and walked towards Yuwentai. At a glance, he saw Yuwentai dressed in court clothes, but his expression was full of indescribable tiredness, and he didn't wait for Yuwentai to speak before giving a salute, and said first, "The eldest brother is above, and Bald Tujia will say goodbye to the eldest brother." ”
"I see," Yu Wentai said with a faint smile, "My brother is anxious to see me say goodbye, and even so, it is inconvenient for my brother to keep my brother here." It's just that state affairs are not the same as family affairs, and my brother asked more in private, could it be that Tuyuhun wants to attack the Rouran Department? Brother is in a hurry to go back? Since the prince and I are brothers, can we ask Great Wei to send troops to help? Yu Wentai asked impatiently, looking very concerned.
Bald Tujia was young at first, but he didn't expect Yu Wentai to say such a thing, which completely took the topic away from his train of thought. But he was smart after all, so he turned around in an instant and said with a smile, "Big brother is still in the mood to joke with his brother?" Tuyuhun and Rouran are like a family, and they don't have to worry about the eldest brother. The younger brother wants to come to the eldest brother to be the pillar of the Great Wei Kingdom, and he has his own merits, and the affairs of the Great Wei will inevitably not need the younger brother to worry about the eldest brother. The younger brother was just worried about his life, afraid of being kept in the dark, I don't know when Chang'an will be captured by the great general Gao Cheng, and when the time comes, the younger brother will be confused and become Gao Cheng's knife ghost and don't know why. ”
"Second brother, do you blame me for not telling you the news of the attack of the East Thief?" Yu Wentai said with a blunt smile. "But the second brother doesn't need to curse himself like this, right? A good thing is said to be a bad thing. Yu Wentai said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
He didn't say anything about it, but the words "one good thing" had already been heard clearly and in his ears. "What do you mean by 'one good thing'? Big brother said to hear it. Bald Tujia asked directly, not polite at all. In fact, he is very aware of his own weight.
Yuwentai didn't want to hang his appetite, and immediately smiled, "Tuyuhun intends to get married with Rouran, so he must have a plan, right?" Isn't the son of the world better than I am? ”
Tuyuhun is in the west, and the Eastern Wei is in the east, Tuyuhun wants to get along with the Eastern Wei, so he has to borrow the power of the middle softness. And Tuyuhun and the Western Wei Dynasty are feuds, always taking advantage of the gap to harass and rob. The Western Wei Dynasty was right in the middle of the Tuyuhun and Eastern Wei Dynasty. In fact, both Yuwentai and Bald Tujia understand that if Tuguhun marries the Eastern Wei Dynasty, it will not be a good thing for Rouran or the Western Wei.
"Since the prince and I are already brothers, then Dawei and Rouran can also be a state of brothers, as long as the brothers do not break the wall, what can outsiders do?" Yu Wentai continued. "The Son of Heaven of Great Wei serves the world with benevolence and virtue, but the East Thief attacked me, I just learned this news, so I naturally want to tell the second brother. Besides, the Son of Heaven is immediately the son-in-law of Shuofang County, and the two families are not one, so it is better to take this opportunity to send troops together with Rou Ran to let the East Thief know that it is powerful. It can also avoid Gao Cheng's heart of spitting out the valley and being gentle in the future. ”
Bald Tujia suddenly had an idea in her heart, but she smiled on the surface, "What the eldest brother said is to solve the doubts in my heart." However, whether or not to send troops is my father's Khan's business, not mine's. As for the Son of Heaven being my father Khan's son-in-law, this ......" he paused deliberately and looked at Yu Wentai, "Big brother, am I not clear enough?" Isn't that man in the east bed the prime minister? He looked at Yu Wentai half-truthfully.
Yuwentai seemed to glance at it inadvertently, and he was already alert when he saw Bald Tujia's expression, and in order to stabilize Bald Tujia, he said with a smile, "No matter who the person in the east bed is, it is already harmonious that Da Wei and Rouran have formed an alliance, and Rouran will definitely not betray the alliance, so I don't have to worry about it." In fact, the words have come to an end here, but even he doesn't know why, Yu Wentai still blurted out, "The second brother also understands that the brother already has a wife, how can he wronged the princess to be a concubine?" ”
I don't want to say that Bald Tujia smiled, "Is the eldest brother reluctant to let a princess be a concubine?" Is it the princess of Rouran, my sister, or the eldest princess of Da Wei? Besides, if the emperor can be deposed, can't the eldest brother divorce his wife and wait for him? He smiled and looked at Yuwentai.
Yuwentai also smiled, "The Great Wei Heavenly Son is the Supreme, the Supreme Emperor's face cannot be lost, and the second brother also understands, right?" ”
Bald Tujia looked at Yu Wentai's bottomless black eyes and didn't speak again. There was a lot of chill in there, and he naturally didn't fail to see it. I think that the words of Dawei Tianzi to "wait for the vacant position" were indeed what he said, and now he is forcing Yuwentai to divorce his wife and wait for the vacant position, which seems to be a bit unreasonable.
Yu Wentai smiled again in an instant, "The second brother is too worried, it is an alliance between the two countries after all, why bother who is in the east bed?" I also asked the second brother to send a letter to the Shuofang County Duke immediately, and take the thief with me to sacrifice it to Her Royal Highness the Queen. ”
Bald Tujia said with a smile, "The eldest brother said the same, but the younger brother is narrow-minded." ”
Yu Wentai finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was already extremely tired at this time.
By the afternoon, the north wind had finally stopped. There was not a trace of wind, the sky was as blue as if it had been washed, and the rare warm winter sun illuminated the entire back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion. When Yuwentai entered the back garden, the whole person was almost about to collapse, not eating day and night, restless sleep, and worrying about countless things. To make a decision that is related to the Great Wei Society, to persuade others, to guess people's hearts, and to deal with the ......
He steadied himself, and it wasn't until he suppressed the feeling of colic in his stomach again that he dragged his slightly heavy steps towards the Buddhist hall of the eldest princess Yuan Yuying.
There was no one at the door of the temple, and the door was hidden. Yuwentai pushed the door in, and suddenly there was a smell of sweet rosin, cool and bitter, which was just in line with his current state of mind, and made him feel extremely sober for a moment. But the Buddha hall was also empty, which surprised Yuwentai a little. Since the last time Yuan Yuying begged for a leave of absence, the two of them have rarely seen each other, and the slave and maid have reported it, and the lady only recites the scriptures every day in the Buddhist hall.
Yu Wentai felt a little relieved. He was a little distracted for a while, if Yuan Yuying disappeared, where could he go to find her? The people around me have never paid attention to it, but once you miss it, can you get it back? It made him feel a crust.
It suddenly occurred to him that he hadn't been to the courtyard where she lived for a long time. Step by step like an initiation. The slaves and maids were surprised to see that the always steady Lord Lang and the Prime Minister were in a hurry, and they didn't know what had happened to make Lord Lang lose his temper so much.
Yu Wentai waved his hand to disperse the group of slaves and maids, and after making up his mind, he pushed open the gate of the courtyard with some caution. However, he was immediately stunned, and the scene in front of him was completely unexpected, making him freeze on the spot.
At the beginning, I heard the sound of the golden wind blade. When he went to the prestige, he actually saw his wife, the eldest princess Yuan Yuying, dancing with a sword.
When she was far away in Luoyang, she had to forget how far away it was, when they were newly married, she often used to dance with a sword, but then she didn't see it for a long, long time.
Yuan Yuying's lacquer-like black hair was completely neatly tied by a white hosta, and her eyebrows and neck were completely revealed. I remember the first time I saw her, and he was also amazed by her stunning beauty. At this time, she was dressed in a white hakama, holding a long sword and indulgent and willful. In the silver light, he is no longer the Yuan Yuying who is thinking and forbearance everywhere, and he is not the same person at all as the wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Chang'an.
Yu Wentai's heart was hot, and he couldn't help but approach.
