Chapter 206: The Great Prime Minister returns to Chang'an in triumph
The title of "eldest princess" awakened Yuan Yuying, and now there are very few people and occasions to call her so. Her identity is different from what it used to be. Once upon a time, Yuwentai was her vassal, she was the eldest princess, and he was the captain of the horse. Now she is a vassal of Yuwentai, Yuwentai is the prime minister, and she is the prime minister's wife.
The emperor Yuan Bao Ju suddenly called her "eldest princess" for some reason, and the deliberately lowered voice shocked her even more. Or the Yuan Bao Torch is trying to remind her that there is a kinship between them. The Emperor missed Ephesian so much, which made her feel both unexpected and reasonable. But intuitively it's not a good thing.
"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know where the abolished Yi Fu clan is." She answered truthfully, but she didn't hear the Yuan Bao Torch question again. After being silent for a long time, Yuan Yuying couldn't help but raise her head slightly, and saw that Yuan Bao Torch's face was full of disappointment. Think about how he was forced to abolish himself, even if he was always thinking about it, he was the honor of a country and couldn't do whatever he wanted, so he could only endure it in his heart. Yuan Yuying's heart was hot for this, not only for the infatuation of the ingots torch, but also for her husband to go to Qinzhou Maijiya to find her own touch.
"It turns out that Madame doesn't know." Yuan Bao Ju said casually in a daze.
"Your Majesty is for the sake of the community." Yuan Yuying was still calm on the surface, and her voice was gentle and soft, "Yi Fushi is too. Your Majesty is about to set up a new queen, and you shouldn't always think about abolishing the queen. Yuan Yuying's words were calm and rational advice.
The ingot torch is not a cowardly person, and the abolition of Yifu is certainly because of Yuwentai's strength, but also because the ingot torch understands the situation and cares about the general situation. At this time, of course, he also knew that what Yuan Yuying said was right. The situation of the country is like this, and it is difficult to walk, and the establishment of Princess Rouran as the queen is where he can devote himself to the society as the supreme of a country. But let him use this way to keep the society, he was 10,000 unwilling in his heart, not to mention implicating his beloved wife. He would rather go into battle in armor and fight the enemy, even if it is to repay him with his life, than to be such an incompetent emperor.
"Only if Your Majesty is good, Ephesian can be good." Yuan Yuying saw that he was silent for a long time, and persuaded him again. She hoped in her heart that the ingot torch would relieve the knots in her heart.
The suburbs welcome this day, but the sky is not beautiful. Originally, it was a fine sunny day, and the sun was shining for several days, but the sky was unpredictable, and by the morning of this day it was already dark clouds, indicating that heavy rain was coming. When the hundred officials were on the outskirts of the city, the light rain began to fall silently. The rain was very light, but the weather was gloomy and cold, and the hundred officials stood in the rain and waited for the prime minister to return triumphantly, which was actually overwhelming.
The emperor's ingots torch was waiting in the tent set up in advance, although it was not very comfortable, but it was much better than the hundred officials standing in the rain. It's just that his mood may be even more different than that of Baiguan. The prime minister's division is meritorious, except for the military attaches such as the governor and other generals who followed, almost all of the people outside at this time are civil officials. Even in the rain, it can even be said that everyone is in high spirits. Who doesn't want to be courteous in front of the Prime Minister? Moreover, it is precisely because of this decisive battle that it can be said that it has taken the most decisive step towards pacifying the world in the future. At this time, the great prime minister has surpassed the emperor's ingots torch in everyone's hearts. It's a sensitive issue, but it's also a fact.
The mood of the ingots torch is apprehensive, which is the opposite of the excitement of the officials. He was restless in the tent, looking forward to Yuwentai's return soon, but he was a little afraid that he would come back. His heart tossed and turned too much, and then he finally couldn't sit still anymore and got up and walked out of the tent. The eunuchs who followed did not expect that the emperor had already walked into the rain, and it was too late to open an umbrella for the emperor.
"Your Majesty, go slowly." The eunuch whispered in a slightly shrill voice.
The ingot torch turned a deaf ear, and he didn't feel that the continuous autumn rain had wet his clothes, and he walked straight forward.
"It's coming! Here it comes! There was a commotion where the hundred officials were standing, and the low roar with excitement became higher and higher.
No one seemed to notice that the Emperor had come out of his tent and was coming to them.
Sure enough, Yuan Bao Ju saw that a team of people and horses in the distance had galloped towards him, and the speed was very fast. After a while, he saw clearly that the person who was the leader was indeed the great prime minister Yu Wentai in armor. When he saw clearly, he took a deep breath, and then walked more firmly towards Yuwentai on the horse in the rain.
At this time, the eunuch who had just come with an umbrella had not caught up, but he saw that the emperor had already gone away, and he also saw clearly that the emperor was walking towards the triumphant return of the prime minister Yuwentai, and the eunuch did not dare to catch up again.
Yuwentai rode his horse, and saw the scene of hundreds of officials stretching their necks to look at each other from a distance, and then saw at a glance that the emperor's ingots torch crown and crown clothes also came on foot in the rain. Yu Wentai was shocked and hurriedly dismounted. Several of the overseers behind him also dismounted.
Yu Wentai unsheathed his saber and turned around and handed it to Yu Jin, who was following behind him, and then quickly turned around and strode to meet the emperor.
Yuan Bao Ju stopped and said with a smile, "Lone **** is looking forward to the return of the prime minister, and I only met today, and I am very relieved in my heart." ”
Yuwentai bowed to the head first. The prime minister was so humble that the others did the same after hesitation.
Yuan Bao Ju bowed down and helped Yuwentai up with his own hands, smiling and looking at him carefully.
Yu Wentai was helped to stand up by the ingot torch, frowning slightly, and seemed to be a little sad. "The minister is out of order. The Supreme should not be so detached from the Eucharist for the sake of his ministers. ”
"It's okay, it's okay," Yuan Baoju said with a smile, "I'm happy to see the prime minister." ”
At this time, the eunuch with an umbrella caught up and gave the emperor and the prime minister umbrellas to cover the rain.
The emperor and the prime minister walked slowly back together in the rain.
Baiguan also followed, and the atmosphere behind was very warm.
"Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare to be meritorious, sacrifices, feasts, and drinks, if they can be exempted, they will be exempted." Yuwen Tailuo helped the emperor and replied. If this whole set of rules in the suburbs is implemented, it is indeed cumbersome.
"How does this work?" Yuan Bao Ju stopped and stared at Yu Wentai in amazement, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, "Is the prime minister trying to make Lone's heart uneasy?" ”
"Although Your Majesty has the virtue of a good life, the people are still in hunger." Yu Wentai reminded him lightly.
"Good. Just according to the prime minister. Yuan Bao Ju laughed, and he smiled a little unnaturally. It seems that only the prime minister is worried about the people, but he, the emperor, has no concern at all. The ingot torch has already taken Yuwentai's hand, "The prime minister will return with Lone." ”
"The minister does not dare to trespass." Yu Wentai resigned.
"The prime minister has made great contributions to the society." The ingot torch also strongly advised.
"The minister has the merit of size, thanks to His Majesty's grace, the minister does not dare to be greedy for the merit of heaven." Yu Wentai still said goodbye.
"Lone has something to say to the prime minister in private." The ingot torch still clings to Yuwentai's hand and refuses to let go. His eyes darkened, and he seemed to have a different heaviness.
Yuwentai was stunned and silent, this time he did not insist on refusing.
The Imperial Rim slowly made his way home. At this time, the rain outside was heavy, and the sound of heavy rain could be heard in the chariot, but it was warm and comfortable in the chariot. The atmosphere was a little weird, and there were only two people in the chariot, Yuan Baoju and Yuwentai Junchen.
"Prime Minister......" Yuan Baoju hesitated and opened his mouth.
"Yes, I am." Yuwentai didn't know what the emperor was going to say, but he could sense something unusual.
"I want to build a cave temple in the Maiji Cliff in Qinzhou." The ingot torch suddenly said something inexplicable.
"Your Majesty!" Yu Wentai was startled, lost his voice, and looked up at the ingot torch.
"Guanzhong has been suffering from famine for many years, and such a natural disaster is God's punishment for being lonely and immoral, and the people of Zhaoshu should not be allowed to suffer for loneliness." What the ingot torch said seems to be true, but it doesn't seem to be true. "The lonely book has no share in the throne, thanks to the great prime minister's efforts. Lonely thinks that it is best to be a quiet mortal without fighting with the world. Somehow, he suddenly blurted out, "That's the place that the abolished Yi Fer longs for the most." "It was like a dream.
At the mention of Yi Fushi, Yu Wentai's heart also shook. He had forgotten about this person, and if it weren't for the ingots torch to mention, he might never remember it again. Hearing him mention Yue'e at this moment, all he can remember seems to be the shadow of Yang Shunhua. In his heart, the existence of Ephesus is itself for him to allow him to be close to the person he loves most in reality.
Miotu, the name popped up in his heart. At that time, he was still a baby, white and fat, and unusually handsome. It's just that this baby boy has a cold feeling of ice muscle and jade bones, which makes him very different in Yuwentai's heart. Compared with his sister-in-law Dharani, he is even more steady, and the other is pure and mad that is not stained by the world. He suddenly wanted to meet him.
"Is Your Majesty going to abandon the country and abandon the family?" Yu Wentai stared at Yuan Bao Ju and asked expressionlessly, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
The word "abandoning the country and abandoning the family" can easily make people think of Yuan Xiu first. Thinking of Yuan Xiu's fate again, Yuan Baoju's heart suddenly became cold, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Because he knew that if he really left, then Yuwentai would definitely fall into the stigma of chasing the king. Kill the king first, and then chase the king, even if Yuwentai is like Yuwentai and the power of the Great Wei, can he really not be afraid of the criticism of the world?
"Your Majesty once said to the minister that he hopes to return to Luoyang one day to pay homage to the ancestral tomb." Yu Wentai's voice softened a little.
Yuan Bao Ju raised his head and looked at him in surprise, "What does the prime minister mean?" ”
"The minister wants to serve His Majesty and go to the old capital to worship the temple and pay homage to the ancestral tomb." There was an almost inaudible warmth in Yuwentai's voice.
Yuan Bao Ju understood what he meant. There was a huge pain in his chest. He left the old capital of his ancestors, followed the first emperor Yuan Xiu to Guanzhong, and opened another foundation, how much bitterness there is, who knows? Maybe he insisted on going his own way at that time, maybe he thought too shallow at that time, and many times he felt that he was the sinner who split the society, because he didn't stop Yuan Xiu. And for this absurd westward escape, Yuan Xiu gave his own life, and paid a huge price for the split of the Great Wei Society.
He succeeded Yuan Xiu as the Son of Heaven of Great Wei, and he always felt that it was not good for him to be right. He abandoned the old capital chosen by his ancestors, and abandoned the temple that represented the continuation and inheritance. And he knew that one day he would die, and he would be far away from the mausoleum where generations of Great Wei monarchs gathered, and in the end he could only stay away from Guanzhong in Luoyang. He couldn't go back.
He couldn't go back. and his beloved wife, Yifu Yue, who was forced to abandon him. Whenever he thought of her and recalled the scene of separation at that time, his heart would ache as if it were tightened.
God blessed the Great Wei, the great prime minister Yuwentai took back the old capital, and the temple and mausoleum returned to his hands. Even if he lost Yue'e, he finally got the compensation of his heart at this moment.
Yuan Bao Ju was speechless, and he finally couldn't help crying. Everything poured down in tears.
Yedu has always been excellent weather. Sunny, cool, without the heat of summer, there is a kind of pure feeling unique to autumn. In the Wei Palace, Gao Yuanjun, the queen who lives in the Jiaofang Palace, has almost adapted to the life after entering the palace. This rare and extraordinarily comfortable autumn day made her feel more comfortable. But her mood was not comfortable. Because her elder brother Gao Cheng followed the defeat of Tongguan, he was defeated by Shayuan again, and I heard that he was still injured and returned.
Her brother-sister relationship with her eldest brother is not as good as her relationship with her second brother Gao Yang. But she also knows that the current Gao family, the eldest brother Gao Cheng is an important person, very important. The future of the Gao clan is all in his hands. For this reason, she also cares about victory and defeat, and she also cares about her eldest brother.
The bright warm autumn sun shone into the Jiaofang Palace, and Gao Yuanjun suddenly saw at a glance that the palace maids had already served the emperor Yuan Shanjian and put on a plain white robe. The emperor stayed in the queen's Jiaofang hall almost every night, and everyone in the palace thought that the emperor was very satisfied with the new queen.
Gao Yuanjun also missed the emperor's favor, but in private, he always felt a little awkward. She can't understand exactly what's wrong, but she just feels that the husband who stays together night and night still seems to be a little far away from her. His smile was a little faint, and his heart was a little incomprehensible.
The plain white color made Gao Yuanjun's heart sink. She quickly adjusted her mood, slowly walked to Yuan Shanjian's side, waved her hand to let the palace maid retreat, and she sorted out her husband's clothes with her own hands. At the same time, she involuntarily looked up at her husband, which was a bit unruly, but she couldn't help herself.
Her husband is a young man with a very beautiful posture. Unlike her eldest brother Gao Cheng, Yuan Shanjian's beauty is not as thrilling as Gao Cheng, not as dazzling as Gao Cheng, he feels more like the best jade, rare, although it is not easy to get close, but that warm feeling will make people feel that you are already close.
"You don't have to do these things for the queen." Yuan Shanjian didn't look at Gao Yuanjun, his eyes were looking straight ahead, he didn't know where he was looking, but his tone was lowered and gentle.
"I am husband and wife with the Lord, and it is right for me to serve my husband." Gao Yuanjun also answered him in a low voice, still reluctant not to look at it. It was as if he had inadvertently asked, "Why is my husband dressed so grandly today?" ”
Seeing her say this, Yuan Shanjian looked down at the robe on his body, and said casually, "The moon of Meng Qiu, the sun is winging, the cool breeze is coming, the white dew is falling, the clothes are white, and the white jade is just a scene." After speaking, he looked at Gao Yuanjun a little seriously, with a slight smile in his eyes, and asked, "What, the queen doesn't like it?" ”
