In the middle of summer, the weather in Chang'an has reached the hottest season. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Wei Palace is full of lofty buildings and pavilions, the walls are high and there are few trees, and it is always lifeless and dull at this time, making people feel as if they are going to be out of breath.

In the Fengyi Palace, the Empress Yu Jiulu felt like this.

Luoying is still two months away from giving birth, and at this time, her belly is surprisingly big, making her unable to move. Her legs and feet were so swollen that she couldn't get shoes, and there was no one to give the queen any proper clothes. Luoying couldn't go out at all, and relied on Taorui and a few other henchmen to sew and mend.

Her younger brother, Bald Tujia, has not yet entered the palace to see him. The imperial physician order came from time to time, but he obviously didn't dare to do much, just perfunctory, worried about his own guilt, not the queen's safety. Luo Ying realized at this time that this Great Wei was completely the world of the Great Prime Minister Yuwentai, and the power of the Prime Minister was not what she imagined.

It was she who colluded with the Wuwei general Yuan Bi to kill the abolished Empress Yi Fu, and indirectly caused the death of Yuan Yuying, the eldest princess of Yuwentai's wife. One can imagine how much Yu Wentai hates her. Luo Ying didn't understand that Yuwentai's mind was not just about her, he could no longer accept Rouran's repeated provocations and coercion.

Yuwentai wants to fight with the Eastern Wei as soon as possible, and he is confident that he can defeat Gao Cheng. He wanted to use this great victory to increase the prestige of the Western Wei, and only in this way could he make Rouran fearful. And pro, in the end, will not solve the fundamental problem.

The queen's appetite is terrible, because she is upset and always loses her temper. Tao Rui patted and rubbed on the back to make Luo Ying feel better, but she couldn't get rid of that feeling of not being able to breathe, as if this Wei Palace was a heavy shackle for her now.

Tao Rui saw that the queen's expression was lost and sad, so she rubbed her back and smiled reluctantly, "Your Highness's stomach looks round and tight, like a little prince." The slave remembered that this was the case when she saw the concubine of the prince in the royal court. ”

Luo Ying didn't reflect, Tao Rui took it seriously, leaned down to take a closer look at Luo Ying's belly, and guessed with hope, "Your Highness's belly is so big, maybe it's twins, if you have two little princes, Your Highness won't have to suffer this anymore in the future." Taorui's tone also lowered.

It's okay that Tao Rui didn't mention the royal court, but as soon as she mentioned this, Luo Ying remembered the camp with soft blue sky, white clouds, and green grass in her heart. Although there is no city, the vastness of heaven and earth is vertical and horizontal. Although there is no palace, it is enough to sleep peacefully in one tent. But fate played tricks on people and let her enter the Wei Palace and become the queen, can she go back to the Rouran royal court again? If she could, she would be willing to give up everything.

Luo Ying subconsciously raised her head to look at the side of the couch. Everywhere is gorgeous and bright, and it seems that there is a bloody mouth everywhere to devour her. How could she get out of this situation that was going to suffocate her?

In the Zhaoyang Palace, the scene is just the opposite.

The emperor's ingot torch is weak, and ice cannot be used in the hall. The dormitory was wide and tall, and he didn't feel stuffy. Months have passed, and even the deepest grief will be diluted by time. After several degrees of life and death torture on the sickbed, and countless nights of grief and sleeplessness, he finally accepted Yue'e's death.

Seeing the emperor sitting in front of the bronze mirror, letting the slave comb his hair and tie his bun, his expression was much more indifferent, and the eunuch standing on the side also smiled, "Your Majesty's complexion is very good." The prime minister has also been sick for several months like His Majesty, and when he came back to see His Majesty for the first time in such a long time, he didn't know if the prime minister's complexion was good. ”

The ingot torch was still facing the bronze mirror, looking at himself in the mirror, and did not speak.

For months, he had been so distraught that he had barely spoken. What does national politics have to do with him? Fortunately, the crown prince Yuanqin is in charge of the country and has slowly learned to govern the country. The only thing he worries about is that the prince's personality has always refused to be patient, and if there is any more emperor's ambition and obstinateness, this is the most worrying thing.

On this day, the Wei Palace in Chang'an was also shaken a lot. After all, Prime Minister Yu Wentai has not entered the court for several months. If you look at it coldly, you will find that the emperor's ingots torch has been lingering on the sickbed for several months, but it has hardly had any impact on the affairs of the court.

Maybe it's because the emperor is always sick, and everyone else is used to it. And the deeper reason is that the emperor is not so important and eye-catching. Especially now, with the crown prince Yuan Qin in charge of the country, and the great prime minister Yu Wentai next to him, the existence of the emperor's Yuan Bao Torch is even more minimal.

But those who are interested will find that the prime minister has not been in court for several months, and the government at least seems to be safe and sound on the surface. There is a prime minister in the court and there is no prime minister in the court, and the prestige of the prime minister has not diminished. This shows that the power of the prime minister is deeply rooted.

Prince Yuanqin is a man of filial piety. When he went down to Zhaoyang Hall to visit the emperor's father's illness, he heard the eunuchs around him tell him happily that the prime minister was gradually healing, and he entered the palace today to see His Majesty, but Yuan Qin's heart was different.

Looking at the eunuchs when they talked about the prime minister's entry into the palace, they were all overjoyed, even happier than the emperor recovering from illness, which made Yuan Qin very uncomfortable. He deduced that the crown princess Yuwen was also unwell today, so he returned to his bedroom.

Knowing that the prime minister is here and his father-in-law is coming, he can't say anything about passing through the door without entering. Fortunately, he found an ingenious reason. If the crown princess Yuwen is really sick, he will go back to visit, and Yuwentai will not blame him if he knows it.

Yu Wentai entered the palace in court clothes. The emperor had already been destined to give his shoulders to the prime minister who had just recovered from his illness. Yuwentai sat on his shoulder until he reached the outside of the Zhaoyang Palace, and then walked in from outside the palace gate. Everyone looked sideways and saw that the prime minister was in good health, and he was indeed much better than the sick and weak body of the emperor's ingots.

It's just that many people have a feeling in their hearts, feeling that they haven't seen the prime minister for a few months, and the prime minister always seems to have changed somewhere. I don't usually smile, but I don't feel like I don't squint and see nothing. Although there was no thunderous wrath, everyone was terrified at the sight of this look.

If the prime minister enters the Wei Palace and enters and exits his own house, who dares to disagree with the prime minister's wishes?

Yuan Bao Torch saw the eunuchs open the door to greet each other, and everyone was in a mess, as if something big had happened. Even he, the emperor, was invisibly left aside and ignored, he should have felt uncomfortable in his heart, but now all this means nothing to him, and he doesn't feel any discomfort.

However, Yuwentai entered the hall and was hugged by the front and back, and there was no one around the ingot torch, and it seemed that he was standing and hanging from each other.

Yuan Bao Ju was sitting on the big bed, watching Yu Wentai walk in front of him.

Yuwentai has not seen the emperor for a long time, and he is courteous, but he is also respectful.

The ingot torch naturally wants to pretend to be resigned, and wants to get down from the big bed to help each other. He had to be supported by the eunuch first. On the other hand, he commanded, "The prime minister has just recovered from his illness, and there is no one else here, so why should the prime minister be so polite?" ”

"Your Majesty is still ill, just sit down, you don't have to get up." Yuwentai himself has been supported by the eunuchs who have made up their own opinions. His reply seemed to be a grace to the emperor.

The ingot torch has been carried by the eunuchs and got off the big bed, and before he can tell him, the eunuchs moved the rope bed for the prime minister to make the prime minister sit comfortably. The ingot torch was also indifferent and didn't care. I sat back on the big bed.

"I'm afraid that Lone's illness will not be cured, but it is just a matter of prolonging life with illness. The prime minister recovered, and the lonely heart was overjoyed, and he felt more relaxed, afraid that he would be sick and suitable. In the future, the Great Wei Sheji will all depend on the prime minister, and the lonely one can't afford it, so he will trust the society, if the prime minister can prosper the society, he will only obey the prime minister's life, and he is grateful. "The words of the Yuan Bao Torch are already humble to the extreme, but they are also half-true.

Yuwentai sat on the rope bed and listened to Yuan Bao Ju say these words, not humble, nor shocking, as if it was not him. After Yuan Baoju finished speaking, Fang smiled and said, "Your Majesty's illness is not healed, and there is no way to do it, so I have to work hard." Besides, with the crown prince in charge of the country, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry. ”

This is exactly what Yuan Bao Torch is worried about, and he pressed his mood, as if he said very casually, "The prince is young, acts excessively, and is young and impulsive, but fortunately, with the assistance of the prime minister, Lone has nothing to worry about." Besides, the prince's son-in-law, Prime Minister Yu is also like a parent, and the prime minister has to teach him carefully, and he has to work hard. The prince always said to Gu every day that the prime minister was like a loving father, and he liked to be close to the prime minister. Lone also hopes that the prime minister will treat the prince as a son, and when teaching, he doesn't have to treat the monarch and the minister as a mustard. ”

This is a kind word to retreat. In fact, he has hidden worries in his heart. It is true that the crown prince Yuanqin often mentions his father-in-law in front of him, but his attitude is very unclear. From the beginning of the praise from time to time, to the silence later. Now, when it comes to the prime minister's policies and deeds, there are always opposing opinions, and secretly disagreeing with the prime minister.

Although it is right and wrong, it can also be seen that in the heart of Prince Yuanqin, there is already an estrangement with Yuwentai. Yuan Bao Ju knew that the matter started with the queen Yu Jiulu's big trouble in the Zhaoyang Palace and the head-on conflict with it. After experiencing the death of his biological mother and the abolition of Yi Fu's family, it intensified. Or, since he returned with injuries after the Battle of the River Bridge, the mentality of the crown prince Yuanqin has changed.

What Yuan Bao Torch wants to do now is to try his best to make up for the relationship between them.

"The prince marries the beloved daughter of the minister, and the minister naturally regards him as a parent." Yu Wentai leaned on the rope bed, with the tone of an elder commenting on a junior, where was there a little taboo of a monarch and a minister. "It doesn't matter if the prince is young, if he is really like His Majesty and is willing to regard his ministers as his father, how can he not want to teach them?"

It's hard to take the ingot torch. Thinking about his desolation for half his life, the tragic death of his beloved wife, and suddenly sadness came from it, and he almost wanted to cry. Although he is old and his son is still young, if he is really a puppet like him, how long will he need to survive? I could only smile reluctantly, "What the prime minister said is very true." ”

Yu Wentai didn't care what Yuan Baoju thought in his heart, and planned in his heart, "The battle against Dongkou is imminent, and it is an opportunity for the prince to train......

"Prime Minister can't!" Yuan Baoju thought that Yuwentai wanted the prince Yuanqin to go out with the army, and blurted out Yuwentai's words.

Yuwentai was very displeased, and looked at the Yuan Bao Torch with a gloomy face and did not speak.

When the eunuchs saw the change in the complexion of the big man, they were all silent.

The ingots burst into tears, begging each other for several pleadings. "Prime Minister, the prince is young and has never led an army to fight, after all, he is the prince, it is not appropriate to put him in danger, please be gracious to ......the Prime Minister."

Yuwentai was unmoved, after listening to him, seeing the ingots and torches crying, Fang sighed, "Your Majesty still doesn't believe in the ministers." Since the minister said that he regarded the prince as a son, how could he not consider him? He did not say that he would put the prince of a country in danger. ”

Yuan Bao Ju stopped crying, raised his head and looked at Yu Wentai with teary eyes, and regretted it in his heart.

Yu Wentai stood up from the rope bed and paced around the hall as if no one was around, his eyes scanning around. He had already left the ingot torch behind him, and said to the ingot torch on the big bed behind him while pacing, "The prince is young and has no qualifications for governing the country. You can take it with you to study. Aren't the same with those Chenglang Mansion students? I'm afraid it's harder than the crown prince. Your Majesty won't disagree, right? ”

It sounded inquiry, but there was no hint of asking the emperor for his opinion in his tone.

In the sound of the ingot, he didn't care about his tone at all. It turned out that Yuwentai meant this, so that the crown prince Yuanqin was like those candidate officials who entered the Chenglang Mansion to learn government affairs, and he wanted the prince to learn to govern. That's a good thing anyway. The mood of the ingot torch is better than just now.

The two of them were speechless for a while. The eunuchs served the emperor with pots and towels to clean his face. Yu Wentai also walked back to the rope bed and sat down to drink tea. Although this tea is bitter, the eldest princess Yuan Yuying often drinks it. At this time, his mind was flying, and he suddenly thought of Yuan Yuying.

"Prime Minister ......" heard the ingots torch calling him in a trance, and he immediately suppressed his feelings and came back to his senses. Put down the tea cup in your hand and look up at the ingot torch.

"I wonder what happened to the queen?" Yuan Bao Ju unexpectedly asked about Luo Ying.

In fact, the ingot torch is definitely not thinking about Luoying. But no matter what, Luoying's children are also his flesh and blood, and he can't ignore them and ignore them.

Yuwentai was thinking about Yuan Yuying in his heart, and when he heard Yuan Bao Ju mention the queen Yu Jiulu, his hatred doubled. "Your Majesty has been ill, and it is not appropriate to meet the Empress. The queen has the imperial doctor's order **** to diagnose the pulse, and she will not be sick. ”

Yuan Bao Ju felt that Yuwentai's eyes were cold, but his tone was calm. Presumably, Yuwentai will not ignore the bloodline of the Great Wei Emperor.

After a few days, the weather changed abruptly, it rained continuously, and it became cold in the summer, which was very different from the previous days. The Wei Palace was cold and damp, and on this day, the prince of Rouran, Bald Tujia, could finally enter the palace to visit his sister, the queen Yu Jiulu.

When I entered the palace gate, it was raining heavily. Bald Tujia was so anxious that she didn't care about the eunuchs looking for rain gear and hurried straight to Fengyi Palace.

When Bald Tujia first arrived in Chang'an, he couldn't enter the palace, and he couldn't see Luoying, so he was angry and angry. But after a long time, he slowly realized that today's Great Wei is not the Great Wei of the past. The current prime minister Yu Wentai is no longer the Yu Wentai he used to call his eldest brother.

Not to mention Wei Palace and Chang'an, the entire Great Wei is in the hands of Yuwentai. He will do whatever he wants, and no one can disobey him. If Rou Ran wanted to rely on the iron horse to threaten him again, he would no longer be able to do it. Besides, it was a very nihilistic thing for Rouran Iron to ride through Chang'an, how could it be taken seriously? (To be continued.) )
