Chapter 110: Chang'an Night Moon Returns to Taixu (5)
"Lord, the minister knows that the prime minister is loyal to the community, and wants to take Guanzhong as his home for His Majesty's ambition to the world, and the minister begs His Majesty to observe the loyalty of the prime minister and trust the prime minister, the prime minister will definitely be able to open up territory for His Majesty, govern affairs in a clear and clear manner, assist His Majesty in governing martial arts, and achieve His Majesty as a British lord and a wise man." Yu Jin kowtowed and cried.
"You still speak for him, after all, he is your lord." Yuan Xiu sighed.
"Your Majesty! The minister is the minister of the Great Wei Sheji, not the minister of the prime minister! "Yu Jin wept bitterly." As the minister saw just now, His Majesty killed the palace people like killing the enemy before the battle, and knew that His Majesty's hatred in his heart was hard to eliminate because of Zuo Zhaoyi's matter. In the westward migration, His Majesty has regrets in his heart, this is the minister's idea, the minister is dedicated to the community, but the good thing does not work, and the minister also regrets it deeply. If His Majesty kills a minister, he can vent his anger, and the minister is willing to die for the community. ”
Yuan Xiu looked up to the sky and sighed, "The ancestor of Lone, Emperor Daowu, founded the country in Shengle, and later moved to Pingcheng, which achieved the later unification of the Great Wei. After Emperor Taizong Ming Yuan put down the rebellion, he was diligent in government and loved the people, creating the foundation of the prosperous world. Emperor Taiwu of Shizu conquered Rouran in the north, defeated the Song State in the south, and destroyed Liang and Yan, so that my Great Wei became the male lord of the north. Emperor Gaozu Xiaowen and Emperor Sejong Xuanwu went from Pingcheng to Luoyang, and the Great Wei Dynasty was in full bloom. Lonely empty has this heart but no such power, and is ashamed of his ancestors. ”
When Yuan Xiu spoke, under the platform of the East Hall, the eunuch palace maid had already made a way. Rouran's son, Bald Tujia, jumped in a few steps, followed by Princess Rouran in red. Seeing the corpses all over the ground, the palace people were shocked, and the hussar general Yu Jin knelt on the ground, Bald Tujia stopped and watched, and blurted out, "What is the matter with the Lord?" ”
How could I have thought that Princess Rouran had stopped when she saw this scene, and when Yuan Xiu's voice fell, she walked up, neither bowing nor humbling, "The Lord has counted the exploits of the ancestors, and I think it is in my heart, and I never dare to forget, I must also admire the majesty of the ancestors for a long time, why do you still kill the palace people and make such a defeating act?" Seeing that the posture of the dragon and tiger on the Lord is like a celestial man, why should he defeat his virtue? "No one expected her to speak Chinese so fluently.
"Princess Shenyan!" Yu Jin stood up and shouted.
Yuan Xiu stared at this Rouran princess in a daze.
"Lord!" At this time, there was another shout from under the platform. Now everyone's hearts really changed.
I saw Yu Wentai and Guangling Wang Yuanxin walking up, followed by Zhao Gui.
Yu Wentai's expression was calm, Yuan Xin's face was full of tears, but Zhao Gui quietly saw the surrounding situation clearly.
Only Rou Ran's son Bald Tujia was really shocked. He is still young, and he grew up in Rouran since he was a child, although he has not heard of rebellion and rebellion, but after all, he has not experienced it personally, and only then does he know what it is to live and die.
Yuan Xiu raised his sword and pointed at Yuwentai, who still walked over without changing his face.
"Not in the Lord!" Yuan Xin shouted.
Yu Jin clearly saw that Zhao Gui clenched the hilt of the sword on his waist and was about to draw the sword out of its sheath. Just as Zhao Gui passed by him, Yu Jin suddenly made a move and grabbed Zhao Gui's wrist. Zhao Gui glared angrily.
"Brother Yuan," Yu Jinsheng whispered without letting go, "You kill the monarch is the lord who kills the monarch." ”
This sentence moved Zhao Gui.
"Lord, Zuo Zhaoyi was killed by the minister, and it has nothing to do with the prime minister, please kill the minister to calm the king's anger." Yuan Xin rushed up in front of Yuwentai and knelt down.
Yu Wentai had already walked in front of Yuan Xiu at this time, and still bowed and bowed, saying, "Chen Yu Wentai greets Your Majesty." ”
Yuan Xiu suddenly burst out laughing. smiled and said, "Today you worship Lonely, tomorrow people worship you." ”
"The minister has no such heart, and he has a clear conscience." Yuwen Titan said, "The minister is only willing to be the minister of the Duke of Zhou, and His Majesty misunderstands the minister." "Yuwentai is not a person who talks a lot, and at this moment he knows that it is useless to talk more." Your Majesty, please go back to the dormitory, and let the ministers clean up the situation in the future. ”
All eyes were on Emperor Yuan Xiu.
Yuan Xiu walked towards Yuwentai with his sword, "What is the plan of the great prime minister?" Everyone in the world knows that Zhou Gong is the king, don't you know that the king is played by the Zhou Gong in the palm of his hand? The ministers have always listened to the king's orders, but the Duke of Zhou prefers the king's orders. The tip of his sword was almost against Yuwentai.
"Brother!" Suddenly, I heard a terrible shout. The eldest princess Yuan Yuying rushed up and stopped between Yuwentai and Yuan Xiu.
Yuan Xiu subconsciously withdrew his sword, only sighing, "Eldest sister, you're late." Looking at Yu Wentai, he sighed again, "Is it lonely and mistaken for the eldest sister, or is the eldest sister mistaken for lonely?" ”
Yuan Yuying felt all the grievances in her heart, but she only said, "Zuo Zhaoyi has settled down, won't Your Majesty go to see her?" "It turns out that she has been delaying for a long time to do this.
Yu Wentai stood up from the ground, gently pulled his wife away, walked past her and walked in front of her, and said, "The minister is dedicated to the community, and he only wants to work together with His Majesty, and he doesn't want to be a traitor." ”
Yuan Xiu looked at him, his face full of disbelief, "Lone and the prime minister have no chance in this life." Yuan Xiu's gaze swept over these many people, and suddenly stopped on Princess Rouran, and called softly, "Come here." ”
Bald Tujia was stunned, looked at her sister beside her, and was about to hold her, but Princess Rouran had stepped forward without fear. Bald Tujia hurriedly followed.
"What's your name?" Yuan Xiu seemed to ask idly.
"Moonlight." Princess Rouran replied puzzled.
"You only heard Gu talk about the ancestors' exploits, but you don't know how many people died in Gu's ancestors. Emperor Liezu Daowu died at the hands of his parents, Emperor Taiwu died in eunuchs, and Emperor Gaozu Xiaowen was consumed to death because of his infatuation with a woman. Emperor Xiaoming of Suzong was poisoned by his own mother,......" he paused, "I don't want to be poisoned like this." The traitor Er Zhurong sank the young emperor Zhao and the Empress Dowager Hu into the river, and the Erzhu clan later hanged Emperor Xiaozhuang to death and posthumously honored the emperor. What is there to respect? Or who do you respect? The traitor Gao Huan killed the first emperors Yuan Gong and Yuen Long, and neutralized the lone emperor in the bloody neutrality of Yongning Temple in Luoyang. ”
Yuan Xiu didn't care that Yueguang was ignorant and said, "Do you know that Lone is not willing to be this emperor." Why did you come to Chang'an? Lone will not marry you, nor will he make you a queen. If you can leave Chang'an with Zuo Zhaoyi, it can be regarded as the rest of your life. It's just that she went alone first, what joy is there in being alone? What is the sorrow of death? ”
Yuan Xiu slowly lifted his sword, who knew that Moonlight Eye quickly grabbed his wrist and said, "Your Majesty can't do this." ”
"Go back, find a single-minded person, never come to Chang'an again, don't marry into the emperor's family."
Yuan Xiu's strength is incomparable, after all, the moonlight is a woman, how can he stop him? Seeing this heroic and fierce young emperor fall to the ground with her neck slashed, she was so shocked that she took a few steps back, and was pulled to her side by her brother Bald Tujia, who followed her.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's too late! It was already a chaotic scene, and it was suddenly stopped by the cry of a man in great grief.
The eldest princess Yuan Yuying, who saw her younger brother with her own eyes, was paralyzed in her legs and almost fainted. She tried everything she could, she made every calculation, but in the end she couldn't escape her fate.
Yuwentai had already retreated, but at this time, he unknowingly stepped forward to support his wife.
Yu Jin, Yuan Xin and the people of the temple palace all fell to the ground and cried.
Zhao Gui was extremely alert to the left and right.
"Your Majesty!" Nanyang Wang Yuanbao Torch almost knelt forward, stroked the fallen Emperor Yuan Xiu, frowned and said bitterly, "Zuo Zhaoyi is dead, why should Your Majesty embarrass himself so much?" Death is due to death, and life is due to life, Your Majesty is a member of the community, and this should be the most important. ”
"You...... Don't learn from me......" Yuan Xiu laboriously raised his hand to his chest, where he was close to the half-truncated wooden comb of Empress Gao Changjun.
Yu Wentai secretly saw the words and deeds of the ingot torch clearly.
The mourning of the Son of Heaven caused a landslide and a tsunami-like cry.
The eldest princess Yuan Yuying barely stood firm, and looked back at her husband Yu Wentai, she was already full of tears, but she only said lightly, "Husband's wish has come true." She was neither angry nor angry, just like a stranger to him.
"Your Highness misunderstood my intentions, and the lower officials did not have the intention of usurping. The lord is willful, ignoring the abandonment of the society for a woman, not taking the danger of Chang'an at this time to heart, if he refuses to make friends with the north and the south, sooner or later he will be destroyed by the Luoyang Gao clan. Yuwentai frowned and whispered.
Yes, at this moment, Emperor Yuan Xiu is dead, if he doesn't clean up the situation, it will only be a few days before he overturns.
"Who does the husband intend to set up?" Yuan Yuying asked in a low voice.
Yuwentai didn't speak, just looked at the Nanyang Wang Yuanbao torch who was caressing the emperor's corpse and crying bitterly.
Thinking of the temperament of the ingots, Yuan Yuying was already a little allowed in her heart, and Da Wei couldn't help but be more stormy.
At this time, Yuwentai stepped forward, knelt down to worship the body of Emperor Yuan Xiu, and said loudly after crying bitterly, "The first emperor has an accident, and Great Wei cannot be left without an owner for a day." As he spoke, he stood up, his eyes scanning the platform of the main hall of the east hall and beneath the platform like a torch.
Except for the slaves and maids such as the temple eunuchs and palace people, they naturally couldn't decide the future and fate of the Great Wei, and almost all the remaining kings and ministers had already rushed here one after another. Guangling Wang Yuanxin is still crying bitterly, and behind him are Guangping Wang Yuanzan, Huai'an Wang Yuanyu, Qi Wang Yuankuo, etc., all of whom are Wei Zhiyi's relatives. The ministers are divided into two kinds, one is such as Yu Jin, Zhao Gui and other generals in Guanzhong, and the other is the guest Qing from Luoyang, such as Hu Sichun and Wang Sizheng, the general of the Chinese army. For several months, the situation between the first emperor Yuan Xiu and the powerful prime minister Yu Wentai is like a mirror, and now Yuan Xiu is not so unreasonable because of a woman's suicide.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the prime minister Yu Wentai, who walked to Nanyang Wang Yuanbao Torch and helped him up from the ground. General Yuwentai is incomparably powerful, and the ingot torch is almost half-lifted without knowing it. His heart tightened, looked at Yu Wentai, and said in a low voice, "Why does the prime minister have to be strong?" I don't admire the name of the emperor. ”
Yu Wentai helped him to step forward, facing the ministers, and whispered, "Your Highness is a descendant of the imperial family, how can you not save the danger?" I heard that His Royal Highness's son is named Yuanqin? I also have a beloved daughter, I am willing to be married, and I am willing to be in the same boat with His Royal Highness, life and death. ”
After speaking, without waiting for the Yuan Bao Torch to answer, Yu Wentai led the crowd to kneel. He said loudly, "Because the state has ministers, the first emperor moved west to Chang'an, in order to prosper the society, and now it is necessary for the Ming monarch to be able to rejuvenate the society and collect Luoyang to reorganize the foundation, and create the great achievements of the ancestors, Taizong, Shizu, and Gaozu, and the atmosphere of Zhongxing." Chen Yu Wentai swore to lead a hundred officials to protect the Great Wei Sheji, and was willing to respect the king of Nanyang as the emperor, and begged His Majesty for permission. "Then he bowed and bowed.
Yuwentai's words were honest and frank, and the heart of loyalty to the monarch and the Great Wei was evident, even if it was Luoyang Keqing, there was nothing to be faulted with. Moreover, Nanyang Wang Yuanbao Torch is mature and stable, and it can be regarded as the best candidate for continuation at this time. So the ministers bowed down and said in one voice, "Your Majesty." ”
"The first emperor is unpredictable", the four words of understatement turned over everything about Yuan Xiu and him.
Seeing that it can be regarded as a smooth transition and the situation is stable, in fact, the page of Dawei in Chang'an has only really opened since then. On the temple, there is the great prime minister Yu Wentai who is trying his best to settle down, and the stability in the palace requires the eldest princess Yuan Yuying. Yuan Yuying was originally a person with a big heart, so even if there was a lot of pain, she buried it in her heart, but as the eldest sister of the first emperor, she placed the transitional Great Wei court very properly, which is also an attitude in itself. And the eldest princess Yuan Yuying is not only the eldest sister of the first emperor Yuan Xiu, but more importantly, she is also the wife of Yu Wentai, the prime minister of the dynasty, so Yu Wentai's status can be regarded as truly stable.
When Yue'e saw Yuwentai again, it was actually a few days later. In fact, she didn't know about the changes, and she didn't know that the prime minister had an order to deliberately hide it from her.
The sun is pouring down, and it is good weather to come to Chang'an for several days, which seems to be a kind of compensation for the anomaly of the sky some time ago. When the door of the study opened, a ray of sunlight poured in, Yu Wentai stood at the door of the study in the sun, and behind him stood in an orderly manner all the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Yue'e subconsciously stroked her already slightly convex abdomen, but her inconspicuous action did not escape Yu Wentai's eyes. And when Yuwentai stepped into the door, she subconsciously took a step back, but was supported by the slave behind her, in fact, she was the only one who was hidden. The slaves tried to help her sit down, but she gently pushed her away.
Yue'e stared straight at Yuwentai, Yuwentai walked over step by step, Yue'e felt as if he was full of thoughts, and something was brewing in this silence that scared her. Yu Wentai walked to her side without hesitation in front of everyone, and helped her sit down with his own hands. Yue'e looked at him puzzled.
Yue'an sat on the couch, Yuwentai took a few steps back, and suddenly knelt down to pay homage to Yue'e.
"The Great Prime Minister...... You ......" Yue'e was really frightened.
"Chen Yu Wentai meets Her Royal Highness the Queen." Yu Wentai kowtowed to the ground, but his voice was low.
Yue'e didn't speak or move, as if she hadn't heard him.
All the slaves and maids knelt down behind Yuwentai, almost screaming to the sky.
A deep fear and uneasiness welled up in Yue'e's heart. She suddenly understood why the man who was kneeling in front of her was so uneasy when she saw him for the first time, and the deepest fear in her heart came from him. And why did he do all the rudeness to her? It wasn't because of her, but she was involved for no reason and couldn't escape anymore.
Outside Chang'an City, the green fields are boundless, and Princess Rouran Moonlight has already gotten on the ox cart.
The prince Bald Tujia and the prime minister Yu Wentai walked side by side.
"Since the prince insists on going back, it is inconvenient for me to stay, but the intention of Dawei and Rouran to communicate is also to ask the prince to go back and explain it in detail in Shuofang County." Yu Wentai took advantage of the time before Bald Tujia left to speak frankly. "Now that there is an alliance with Yoeong, Great Wei's promise will not change. When the time is right, the lord will naturally marry the princess to Chang'an and become the queen. ”
The "lord" that Yuwentai said refers to the new emperor's ingots torch, and Bald Tujia certainly understands.
Seeing that Yu Wentai said so firmly, Bald Tujia immediately retorted undoubtedly, "What the prime minister said is really a joke, do you want to let people kill the new queen again?" He suddenly stopped, looked at Yu Wentai, and said playfully, "I think the prime minister is more suitable than the new emperor." In fact, having a wife and not having a wife is not a problem, what matters is whether you will be able to say anything. Bald Tujia smiled and said, "What's more, the prime minister is a talent." ”
Yu Wentai didn't take Bald Tujia's words seriously, and said with a smile, "If the prince has been in Chang'an for a long time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to distinguish the truth from the falsehood of your words." ”
Bald Jia Zhengse said, "Since the prime minister wants to marry Princess Moonlight with a good heart, then please abolish it first and wait for the vacant position." After saying that, without waiting for Yu Wentai to answer, Bald Tujia turned around and whistled loudly, and his mount, a snow-white horse with four hooves like ink, galloped towards him. Bald Tujia leaped right away and galloped away from Chang'an.
