Chapter 31: Ruthless Heart

"Your Majesty is so ruthless to his courtiers, aren't you afraid that the king will treat his ministers like lackeys, and the ministers will treat him like an enemy?" Yu Wentai shook off this sentence and ignored Yuan Qin, turned around and strode towards the gate of the mansion. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Mercy wanted to shout loudly, but after all, she still didn't shout. She caught up with her, and her father's back was gone. At this time, Yun Jiang came over.

Yuan Qin saw that Yuwentai actually left him and left, so many people were there, how could he save face. He said angrily, "There is no way of a courtier, and Lone does not want such a courtier." With that, he left everyone behind and strode outside.

Taishi Yu Jin naturally followed Yuwentai.

The eunuch Ah Xiu also followed the emperor.

At this time, Yuwen Hu, the hussar general who appeared at some point, slowly walked up to Yun Jiang and asked, "Lady, why are your uncle and Your Majesty gone?" ”

Yun Jiang didn't speak, and glanced at Yuwen Hu. She suddenly felt in her heart that this hussar general was extraordinary.

"Her Royal Highness!" Yuwen Hu suddenly exclaimed.

"Big lady!" Nan Qiao had already pounced.

"Please come to the Imperial Doctor's order." Yun Jiang saw that Lian Ai fainted on the ground, and hurriedly ordered.

Emperor Yuanqin came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and did not see the shadow of Yuwentai. Thinking that Su Sui was dead, Yuwentai actually scolded him for a dead courtier, and rushed to it in such a hurry, not to mention how angry he was. felt that Yu Wentai almost said that he was not worthy of being the Son of Heaven.

However, he was anxious to come out and had nowhere to go. Just angrily grabbed the reins of a horse at the gate of the mansion, jumped on the saddle and let go of his mind and galloped away, he had also been stuffy in the palace for too long. Barely out of breath. He felt that he had listened to his father's advice and was forbearance and accommodation, but Yuwentai still didn't let him go. When I was a puppet today, I knew what was difficult for my father that day. Thinking of his father's tragic death, Yuan Qin was already in tears.

At this time, it was drizzling, and Yuan Qin ran faster and faster in the cold drizzle, allowing the tears that had been stored in his heart for a long time to pour down. No one will see him at this time, right?

Seeing the Son of Heaven getting on the horse and running, Ah Xiu hurriedly pulled a horse to chase after him. When he was leaving, he instructed the little eunuchs not to follow. He thought that at this time, how many grievances in the emperor's heart had not yet been vented, and if he did something that should not be done, said something that should not be said, and spread it to the ears of the prime minister, it would be even worse.

However, in fact, Ah Xiu's heart has sunk to the bottom. The emperor is more aggrieved and accommodating, and there is nothing he doesn't know. But the prime minister didn't save face for the emperor at all, and even deliberately bullied, no wonder the emperor couldn't stand it. He knew in his heart that by now, it was irreparable.

Even if the matter has come to this, let the emperor vent properly.

Yu Wentai left the house, but quickly regained his calm. He didn't say a word, but he also got on the horse and went straight to Su Xuan's mansion. Yu Jin is not a person who talks much, so he naturally follows silently all the way.

When he arrived outside Su Xuan's mansion, Zhao Gui had already been waiting there. Seeing Yu Wentai, he immediately strode down the stone steps to meet him.

"Lord!" Zhao Gui looked at only Yu Wentai and Yu Jin, and he didn't even follow a cangtou slave. He didn't think much about it, and said bluntly, "Mr. Su has died." It's a pity that Mr. woke up twice before he passed away and called the lord, but the lord couldn't come to see Mr. Su. ”

Zhao Gui did have the meaning of regret. Although Zhao Gui is straightforward in front of Yuwentai, he is also a shrewd person, so he respects Yuwentai's respect for Su Xuan very much.

"Tell me clearly, how can it be twice?" Yu Wentai sensitively grasped what he didn't understand in his words.

"That's right, twice." After Zhao Gui finished speaking, he suddenly glanced at Yu Jin.

Yu Jin hurriedly explained, "The minister went to see the lord just now, and it happened that the lord was there, so the minister didn't have time to elaborate. ”

Yu Wentai was not suspicious of Yu Jin. Zhao Gui didn't rush to speak, Yu Jincai replied, "Just two hours ago, Mr. woke up and called the prime minister a few times. Knowing that the prime minister could not come, the gentleman sighed and said: If the heavens do not send the master, the prime minister's hard work will be in vain. ”

This time, Zhao Gui also knew the scene when Su Sui woke up, but he only let Yu Jin say it alone, and he didn't intervene. When Yu Jin finished speaking, seeing that although Yu Wentai did not speak, he was also full of worries, Zhao Gui said, "Just now, Mr. Su suddenly woke up in a coma, as if he had been hit hard, and vomited blood, first he couldn't speak, and then he seemed to be anxious and angry. Then he shouted at the prime minister, saying: If the prime minister does not make a decision early, he will definitely fail in this life. And then he was out of breath. ”

The gates of these Su Sui mansions are already busy. The first funeral of the deceased, including the obituary of the funeral, there are many things, and the details are trivial, so it is already a person coming and going, but there are more people than the day before yesterday, I don't know how many times, like an inexplicable liveliness, cold and so real.

Looking at the scene of people coming and going, Zhao Gui invited Yuwentai into the courtyard in a corner of the courtyard, under a grandson tree full of green leaves and branches, and said in a low voice, "Lord, Mr. Su pretended to be miserable, and his dying words were touching, and the lord couldn't help but believe it." ”

This is Zhao Gui's second exhortation, and Yu Wentai understands it in his heart.

Yu Jin didn't speak.

Yu Wentai glanced at Yu Jin, and Yu Jin only said one sentence, "Lord, Su Zuocheng is hardworking." ”

Yu Jin said that Su Xuan's hard work was already equivalent to showing his attitude.

Yu Jin's attitude Yu Wentai values it very much. However, what he didn't know was that Yu Jin at this time was no longer the Yu Jin of that day. From the death of Emperor Xiaowu Yuan Xiu to the present, Yuwentai has to be tired of dealing with Emperor Yuan, and he has to work state affairs, and Yu Jin sees it in his eyes.

Like Emperor Wen's Yuan Bao Torch, this person is fine, but the current emperor is completely different, which greatly exceeds the meaning of Emperor Xiaowu Yuan Xiu. If you spend all your time and energy in the struggle for the palace, where will you have the energy to enrich the country and strengthen the army? Maybe Dawei will decline step by step in internal friction, and he will die at the hands of his own people without Dongkou coming to attack.

Yu Wentai's heart turned upside down, but his face was silent. He put aside this topic, frowned and said bitterly, "Mr. Su is talented, and the master is immoral if he doesn't know it." In ancient times, there was a precedent of putting Taijia in Tonggong, and now the lord is still young, and he can also expect it in the future. It's just that the world may not understand the immorality of the Lord. Although Mr. Su died, the lord should also send it off in front of his coffin, so as not to chill the courtiers. ”

Yu Jin and Zhao Gui are people who have been by Yuwentai's side for a long time, and they both understand in their hearts that even if they are abolished, they can't do it so quickly, Yuwentai pays attention to people's hearts, which is right.

Yuwentai suddenly remembered what his nephew Yuwengo said, and he had already made up his mind in his heart. For Yuwentai, everything is like this, and if you make up your mind, the result is decided. The rest is for him to find opportunities to do it slowly, step by step, to be secretive, not to tell the truth, which seems to be even more important now.

When the rain stopped, Yuan Qin's horse finally stopped at the gate of an inconspicuous mansion.

It is no longer clear which corner of Chang'an City it is, the only thing that can be confirmed is that this is not a place where high-ranking officials and eunuchs live. The market is depressed, and the door of this mansion is closed, and the courtyard is cold.

If you want to grow wild grass in the garden again, then you will have a lot of birds. Yuan Qin felt that this mansion was very strange, so he couldn't help but get off the horse and take a closer look. The courtyard is tall, without any decoration, and it does not show a bit of luxury. But there is no sense of decay, because it is cleaned up and tidy, and there is no desolate atmosphere.

Ah Xiu finally caught up, got off his horse out of breath, and came over and called, "Why did Your Majesty come here?" ”

Before Yuan Qin could speak, the two saw the gate of Nafudi open. A man who looked like a cane-headed slave came out, but the difference was that he didn't look obscene or shallow, walked up to them and knelt down and saluted, and said, "My lord is invited." ”

Yuan Qin asked, "What is the master of your family?" ”

The cangtou slave did not shy away from it, and said bluntly, "His Royal Highness the King of Guangling is the master of the little slave. Lord Lang ordered the little slave to wait at the gate every day, saying that one day the Lord would come. ”

At this time, Yuan Qin was stunned.

Ah Xiu felt a sudden light in his heart.

Guangling Palace, in the most inconspicuous corner of Chang'an, is not close to the mansion of the magnates.

Entering through the gate, the inside is also clean and orderly. There were not many servants, all of them seemed clear and measured, they didn't talk much, and the strangers did not cause any waves.

Emperor Yuan Qin and Ah Xiu were taken to a remote courtyard.

The yard is not large, there are a few huge green plantains, and two of them are tall, covering the yard almost from the sun. Underneath the plantain is a hut. At this time, a middle-aged man with white hair and white robe came out of it.

This person is Yuanxin, the king of Guangling.

Yuan Qin was a little surprised to see him, the same ancestor of his uncle's ancestor. It wasn't that he hadn't seen King Guangling before.

In the past, King Guangling was fat, but now he looks thin and tall. But compared to before, the current Yuan Xin's complexion is excellent, not like a person who has been living in seclusion for a long time, but more radiant.

What made Yuan Qin feel the most was that Yuan Xin was the uncle of his father Emperor Wen Yuan Bao Ju, and he was a few years older, but now Yuan Xin only looks middle-aged, and even young. And his father had already boiled his hair gray and was gone.

This is similar to the King of Guangling before the Battle of Bishan. That Yuan Xin was cautious and worried, and he was not at all detached now.

Yuan Xin gave Yuan Qin a big gift.

When Yuan Qin saw Yuan Xin at this time, he always felt a little comforted in his heart. He helped Yuan Xin up with his own hands and asked, "How did King Guangling know that Gu would come one day after all?" ”

Yuan Xin looked at Yuan Qin, "Your Majesty's clothes are wet, although the minister does not have a huge house, but there is always a hut, which can also shelter Your Majesty from the wind and rain." ”

Yuan Qin heard something strange from this, so he didn't ask any more questions, and followed Yuan Xin into the house.

Ah Xiu also followed in with a fluttering mind.

Yuan Xin's house is not big or small, which is just right. It's neither cramped nor empty, as if it was prepared for today's meeting.

There are desks and seats in the room, a few books, a few lamps, a smoker, a screen, and the setting is simple and just right.

Yuan Qin couldn't help but sigh, "King Guangling's house is very elegant. At this time, if you want to be as leisurely as King Guangling, it is impossible. ”

Yuan Xin invited the emperor to sit on the table. "The first emperor once wanted to accompany the abolition queen to sing the Buddha on the Maiji cliff to the end, but it finally failed. It can be seen that people can only advance but not retreat, and if you ask to retreat, others may not let you go. Your Majesty's new succession to the throne is the time to restore the country and the country, and there should not be some decadent ideas. ”

It's cold today, and there are braziers and lamps in the house, which is very warm and comfortable. Yuan Xin's words stirred up Yuan Qin's thoughts.

Seeing that the emperor was speechless, Ah Xiu was anxious. endured it, and finally couldn't hold back, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Guangling is reasonable. ”

Yuan Qin smiled, "King Guangling said well, but so far, isn't he only seeking to retreat and not advance?" ”

Yuan Xin smiled, "How does Your Majesty know that the minister only wants to retreat and not advance?" The minister is not a person who fights bravely and half-ruthlessly with others for a while, and would rather fight for a long time. ”

Yuan Qin smiled, "Who is Guangling going to fight against?" King Guangling is already the general of the Zhu State, the head of the clan, and has won the respect and trust of the prime minister. Who else dares to embarrass King Guangling without giving face to the prime minister? ”

Yuan Xin said with a smile, "The reason why the minister has this prince is because the minister is the bloodline of the Yuan clan of the Great Wei Dynasty, and all the ministers are given by the first emperor, so what does it have to do with the prime minister." The prime minister is just borrowing ministers to win over the kings of the clan and use the ministers, why should the ministers thank the prime minister? ”

said it so clearly, Yuan Qin couldn't figure it out. He immediately understood, it was precisely because Yuan Xin, like him, had an empty title, and was regarded as a tool by Yuwentai, and he would not really be trusted and reused, but lived tremblingly and walking on thin ice, so he couldn't bear it.

"Uncle!" Yuan Qin suddenly screamed, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Your Majesty!" Yuan Xin kowtowed to the ground and burst into tears. "Shame on Emperor Xianzong Xiaowu...... It was a foolish loyalty to the community, but he didn't want to cause a big disaster later, and the ministers didn't blame themselves for a day and a night. The minister was stupid, and now he understands that if the Yuan clan wants not to be played with by others, the only way to improve himself is to keep improving......"

King Guangling clarified his thoughts, not only the emperor was moved, but even Ah Xiu also shed tears.

Yuan Qin said bitterly, "My father died tragically, how can I take revenge if I have this heart?" The government soldiers and the Su guards are all in the hands of the prime minister. ”

Yuan Xin raised his head, didn't care about the tears, and looked at the emperor, "The government soldiers and the Su guards are all under the orders of the prime minister, but they are also the soldiers of the Great Wei. Your Majesty only needs to get rid of the prime minister, know the benefits, and explain to the world that Yuwentai is guilty of rebellion and immorality, and the world will obey Your Majesty's orders. His Majesty can lure him into the palace, and he can be disposed of alone. When there is a result, others will no longer dare to join the party when they see that he is dead. Your Majesty's Empress can be put to good use. ”

Yuan Qin heard the blood boiling in his chest at first. But Yuan Xin suddenly mentioned the queen, and Yuan Qin's heart jumped heavily. He instinctively objected to the inclusion of love.

"Don't let it get contaminated." Yuan Qin flatly refused. It is true that he hates Yuwentai, but he has never associated pity with Yuwentai.

"In addition to this rebel, the queen is still the queen, and Your Majesty can compensate as much as possible." Yuan Xin saw the opportunity quickly, and immediately changed his words.

His purpose was just to get rid of Yuwentai, and he didn't care about Empress Yuwen. waited until she reached the point where apart from Yuwentai, the queen was nothing, there was no support, no foundation, even if the emperor wanted to protect her, he couldn't keep it. So he's not in a hurry now.

Yuan Xin looked at Yuan Qin eagerly. He can wait, he can wait. But once he had the opportunity, he couldn't wait any longer.

Yuan Qin was not as impulsive as he was just now.

In fact, the chaos at this time also includes the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Queen Yuwen saw her father and husband clash head-on, and she fainted to the ground in exhaustion.

This frightened everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Those who support it, those who carry it, ask the doctor to order it, and ask the doctor to order it.

The queen was sent to the house where her former wife, Yuan Yuying, lived. This house is taken care of every day, and it is not necessary to be clean and tidy, and it cannot be abandoned. An important reason is that Yu Wentai, the prime minister of the Lang Lord, has often gone to this house to sit alone, and even sometimes spends the night here.

When the queen woke up, she also recognized that this was her mother's house, and immediately cried for her mother.

The hussar general Yuwen Hu was not too troublesome, and personally went to ask the imperial doctor to come to him. Anyway, Su Xuan is already angry, and there is no need for a doctor's order in that mansion. But the queen is not to be neglected here.

Yun Jiang had to take care of sending a few Xiaolangjun back first, and he had to take care of his love, but he went in and out.

As soon as I appeased the mercy, the imperial doctor's order came. The imperial physician ordered the queen to check her pulse, but the result surprised and delighted everyone.

The queen is actually pregnant! That's really good news. Yun Jiang couldn't help but chant the Buddha with joy. Nan Qiao even went to the small Buddha hall where the eldest princess Yuan Yuying was alive to burn incense and pray.

The mood of pity for myself at this time is really indescribable, several ups and downs, I didn't expect this news to be so unexpected. She always felt in her heart that for the sake of this child, her father and husband should also give each other a step, right?

She really wanted to tell her husband the good news, but the eunuch who went to inquire came back and said that the lord had not returned to the palace and did not know where he had gone. This made the mercy hang again.

She couldn't lie down anymore and insisted on going back to the palace. (To be continued.) )
