Chapter 57: Dying Orphans

"General!" A shout came. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The sound of heavy horses' hooves sounded clear and powerful, and the rest of the steps overlapped and overlapped, continuously, as if it was a very neat and orderly and large number of Eastern Wei soldiers.

Gao Cheng, who was helped up by Liu Taozhi, looked away.

The person who came was the Metropolitan Governor Gao Yue.

The battle outside the Forbidden Valley was now over. The general of the Zhu State of the Western Wei Dynasty, the Tai Lieutenant Li Hu was defeated by Gao Yue after all, and the General of the Zhu State, the Great Sima Dugu Xin and the Sikong Li Bi also escorted the crown prince Yuanqin and was defeated. In this battle, the Western Wei army lost troops and generals, and the six armies were almost completely lost.

However, although the Eastern Wei army was victorious, it also suffered heavy losses. Only Yuzhou Thorn Shi Hou Jingbu has more preservation. The rebellion in Henan was finally quelled, even if it could not destroy the western thieves and seize Chang'an in one fell swoop, but it finally won back the control of Henan Zhuzhou County.

Gao Cheng, the general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, retreated to Xiaoguan, and the Eastern Wei armies from all walks of life also went to Xiaoguan to assemble and obey the general's orders to determine the next strategy.

Don't mention Xiaoguan, let's talk about Tongguan for the time being.

The blood-like remnant sun has long since lost its power and can no longer illuminate the surroundings. When it completely degenerated, Tongguan fell into darkness, not knowing the danger of the future.

The men and horses of the Western Wei army also received orders and entered the customs one after another to listen to the investigation. Da Sima Duguxin, Sikong Li Bi, and the escort prince Yuanqin were all in a heavy mood when they entered the customs.

The crown prince Yuanqin already knew that it was his father, the emperor Yuanbao Ju, who led the tigers and leopards guarding the palace and Gyeonggi to come to the rescue, so that he recaptured Tongguan, which was lost due to his loss. But the emperor was seriously injured because of this, and recaptured Tongguan, which was the price of blood, and perhaps the price of life.

Although the person who came to deliver the news did not say it explicitly, the heaviness in this tone made Yuan Qin already feel the seriousness of the situation. The changes of the Great Wei may be just around the corner. He hadn't thought about it, he had never even thought that there would be such a day, that this day would actually come, and that it would come so quickly.

Yuan Qin kicked off his horse, and the Great Wei camp was in front of him. He didn't say anything all the way, and he didn't want to listen to others, and at this time, the camp was in front of him, and he hesitated a little.

Dugu Xin and Li Bi dismounted one after another to follow. The two of them were quite calm.

Maybe it was because it was dark, maybe it was because of the heaviness in his heart, Yuan Qin hurriedly walked forward and didn't go far, and suddenly he stumbled and almost tripped over something. Fortunately, Li Bi, who was following closely behind him, supported him.

"Your Highness, be careful." Dugu Xin, who was only one step behind, also followed, not knowing whether he was reminding or admonishing.

Yuan Qin didn't speak, pushed away Li Bi, who was holding him, and continued to walk towards the slightly lit and largest military tent.

This military tent was the big tent of the Chinese army that was eagerly erected, and it was used to house the emperor's imperial tent at this time. When Zhao Gui, a hussar general who was guarding outside, saw someone approaching, he greeted him.

Zhao Gui saw several people coming, and when he walked in front of him, he could tell that it was the crown prince Yuanqin, Li Bi, and Duguxin, but he still stopped in front and refused to let him go.

"Your Highness, wait, the Lord is summoning the Prime Minister." Zhao Gui marched to see the prince, but he did not mean to let him go forward and enter the account.

"Zhao Yuangui, you are really bold! Do you dare to take care of the affairs of my father and son? Could it be that the prime minister's fate has not come true? At this time, Yuan Qin was like dry wood meeting a raging fire, and immediately burst into flames.

That sounds extremely inappropriate. The time is not appropriate, the occasion is not appropriate, the person who smells is not appropriate, and the identity of the speaker is not appropriate. In short, it's something that shouldn't be said at all.

"Your Highness is angry." It was Li Bi who grabbed Yuan Qin behind him.

Zhao Gui looked at each other coldly, did not speak or move, and the meaning was very clear.

Dugu Xin followed closely behind the prince, but he didn't speak, just glanced at Zhao Gui with a little dissatisfaction.

Yuan Qin didn't know that what he said at this time was heard by the emperor Yuan Baoju and Prime Minister Yuwentai in the military tent.

The light tent is dark, but the military tent is not as thin as the palace room, after all, it is thin and unobstructed, so it is naturally clear to hear.

A couch was temporarily set up in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the injured Yuan Bao Torch of the Western Wei Emperor was lying on the couch. Prime Minister Yu Wentai knelt on the front seat of the couch and looked at the emperor on the couch and was silent. The imperial physician ordered to kneel on the side of the emperor's head and lean straight, but he also hung his head and was silent, not daring to say a word, and not daring to move. Prime Minister Yu Wentai ignored the imperial doctor's order as if it were nothing.

Not only the emperor Yuan Baoju and Prime Minister Yu Wentai, but also the imperial physician ordered the words of the crown prince Yuanqin to be heard clearly, so he was so trembling.

The ingot torch on the couch was motionless for a long time, like a corpse. At this time, he finally turned hard to turn and face Yuwentai on the side of the couch. Although his eyes were broken and the tent was dim, he knew which direction Yuwentai was in by feeling.

"Prime Minister......" Yuan Bao Torch struggled to reach for his arm towards Yuwentai.

"Your Majesty." Yu Wentai's voice was calm and cold, and he immediately answered him. But Yuwentai didn't reach out to take his hand.

Yuwentai knelt and sat still, and the hand of the Yuan Bao Torch finally fell down because he couldn't find the target and didn't have enough strength.

"Your Majesty, don't move...... "The kneeling imperial physician ordered him to kneel forward, but he didn't dare to approach the emperor again after all, and he didn't dare to reach out and touch him.

The ingot torch was silent and still again. Only then did he remember that there was still a Imperial Doctor's order.

"Who is in the tent?" Yuan Bao Ju asked weakly, and at the same time tried to look up and stretch his neck to see, his eyes were blurry.

"Your Majesty has something to say, but it's okay to say it, only the ministers are here." Yu Wentai's voice was particularly bright in the Yuan Bao Torch.

Yu Wentai didn't look at the Imperial Doctor Order at all, and he didn't count the Imperial Doctor Order as an adult.

"The Imperial Doctor's Order...... Stand down......" Yuan Bao Torch commanded in the direction of the Imperial Doctor's order. He could see the figure of the Imperial Doctor.

The imperial doctor ordered to glance at the prime minister, Yuwentai's face was expressionless, and he didn't say anything. The imperial physician ordered that he could only retreat according to the emperor's order. In fact, he knew in his heart that it had reached this time, and it didn't matter whether he stayed here or not. What should happen will happen.

"Prime Minister!" The ingot torch struggled to get up with all his might, and shouted loudly at the same time. It's like a dying person has found a life-saving solution.

He really was a dying man.

"What does Your Majesty command?" Yu Wentai finally moved his body closer.

He stared at the ingot torch. The eye of the ingot torch that was hit by Gao Cheng's golden pill was bloody and hideous. Blood was still pouring out of the deep hole of terrible blood. The ingot torch is face is broken, and Yuwentai knows that he is dying soon. There are several golden pills in his body, and there are many important points. The ingot torch itself is already a sick and weak body with thousands of cripples, especially the heart disease is deep, how can it be possible to save his life.

However, after all, he led the tiger and leopard to ride out the siege of Tongguan. It was he who saved Chang'an and saved Sheji with his life. Yuwentai finally relented. "Your Majesty does not need to worry, it is advisable to recuperate from your wounds." He comforted the ingot torch, and his tone softened a little.

"The prince is the prime minister's son-in-law, and he is already half a son. If I die, the prime minister will be the prince's father. Originally, it was the righteousness of the father and the mother, please read it for the sake of the prince who has lost his mother, and don't be too strict with the prince. "Yuan Bao Ju said laboriously, and he couldn't stop crying.

The most uneasy is the crown prince Yuanqin. After all, this is his and Yue'e's son. Sheji was in danger, seeing that his son was going to be this puppet son again, he had a premonition that he was about to die, and the prince was particularly reluctant at this time.

Blood and tears flowed, his face was dry, and the face of the ingot torch looked more and more terrifying. Yuwentai could tell from what Prince Yuan Qin had just said that Yuan Qin was already suspicious of him. He was also greatly surprised. Although he knew that Yuanqin was estranged from him, he didn't know that he had a deep grudge to this point. According to Yu Wentai's intuition, this is a very scary thing to think about.

"I have been under the orders of the prime minister for many years...... The only wish on his deathbed ...... "The strength of the ingot torch is declining, and he still refuses to give up." "I only hope that the prime minister will save this son's life......" Yuan Bao Ju cried intermittently.

Yuwentai didn't know that the ingot torch was also very frightened at this time. There was blood in his eyes, and his mind remembered the scene before the death of Emperor Yuan Xiu of Xiaowu. That palace change, blood stained Wei Palace, countless dead, it was when he was in pain when he touched the corpse that Yuwentai was established as the emperor, so that his fate was tragic later.

"Your Majesty's words, the ministers are sincerely afraid when they hear them, and they dare not accept them." Yu Wentai's heart, which had just softened, was aroused by the words of the ingots torch again.

"I said inappropriately, and the prime minister must not be held responsible." Yuan Bao Ju knew that he was running out of time, and he just wanted to try his best to please Yuwentai and get him. "Please ask the prime minister to call the prince to come in quickly, and he can abolish his position as the prince, and the prime minister can choose a virtuous person to live in. My son is too impetuous and eager to be the prince. Yuan Bao Torch said eagerly, and his mouth gradually became unclear. The world is inhabited by virtuous people, even if the Yuan clan is not established as the crown prince, and those who are as eloquent as the prime minister will be able to impress the world, and even more can make Dongkou subjugate and be a minister......"

"Your Majesty wants to make your courtiers dwell on the fire?" Yu Wentai interrupted him abruptly and loudly, and his anger appeared.

The ingot torch was speechless, and twisted as if struggling to escape some invisible bondage.

Yu Wentai leaned down and stared at his even more terrifying face, and said word by word, "The world is the world of the Yuan family, even if His Majesty dies, it must be the crown prince who succeeds to the throne. He deliberately added again, "Your Majesty need not worry. ”

"Prince......" The ingot torch finally gathered enough strength to call again.

Yu Wentai sat back and slapped his high-fives, and the sound of the two palms hitting each other was extremely penetrating. The hussar general Zhao Gui immediately listened to the order. Yuwentai instructed to ask the crown prince Yuanqin to enter the account.

Yuan Qin was originally reluctantly pulled by Li Bi. As soon as he got rid of it, he immediately rushed into the tent.

Hearing the sound of heavy footsteps and the voice calling for "Father", the body of the Yuan Bao Torch sat up straight.

Yuan Qin stopped in the account, and looked around for it. When he saw the tragic situation of his father's serious injury and loss of face, he felt like he was hit on the head with a hammer in an instant. He couldn't believe that this inhumanoid man was really his father? Not long ago, Chang'an said goodbye, in the palace Zhaoyang Palace, although his father had recovered from a long illness, he was an elegant son of heaven, and the person on the couch today was like two people. Is this really his father?

Yuan Qin didn't pay attention to Yuwentai at all. He shouted "Father" heartbreakingly, and his body went limp. Holding back the grief in his chest, he stepped forward on his knees and held the ingot torch.

At the moment of physical contact, both father and son felt a strong comfort in their hearts.

Yu Wentai still sat on the edge of the couch and did not move, nor did he speak.

Yuan Bao Ju's body fell softly, Yuan Qin caught him and helped him to lie back on the couch slowly. When the Yuan Bao Torch lay down on the couch again, Yuan Qin saw the face very clearly. At this moment, his heart was filled with hatred, like a flame.

"The thief has not gone, the army's heart is unstable, the prince please be restrained." Yuwentai reminded him. His voice was so cold that it didn't seem to have any temperature.

"The Son of Heaven is in front, why is the prime minister so rude?" Yuan Qin turned his head and scolded Yuwentai angrily.

Yuwentai raised his head and looked at Yuan Qin. This was the first time that there had been such a head-on and fierce conflict between them.

"Dongkou is in Xiaoguan, why is the prince so unwise?" Yuwentai was not as excited as Yuan Qin, and his tone seemed to be more gentle, but his composure was more majestic.

There was a kind of coercion invisibly, pressing towards Yuan Qin like a mountain and a sea. Yuan Qin glared at Yu Wentai angrily, and had to find out sadly in his heart: The power of this person does not need to rely on thousands of troops and horses, nor does it need to rely on status and status. He felt like he was about to fall into a net that didn't see the world. I don't know if there is an exit, and I don't know how to escape. This made him rebel and unwilling to do so.

"Bye...... Prime minister...... Father ......, "The Yuan Bao Torch used up his last strength, and he wanted to pull Yuan Qin to bow, but he couldn't do it anymore."

Yuan Qin glared angrily, Yuwentai frowned coldly, neither of them moved, as if they hadn't heard the words of the Yuan Bao Torch.

"Bye...... Bow...... "Worship ......" Yuan Bao Torch can only say this one word, and keep repeating. He was dying of breath at this point, and then he stopped talking, but inhaled vigorously, as if he were hiccups, and his appearance was strange and terrifying.

Yuwentai stared at Yuan Qin. Yuan Qin couldn't help but look at his father, looking at the Yuan Bao torch that couldn't be blinded, Yuan Qin finally obeyed his father's orders, made the heaviest bow to Yuwentai, and reluctantly called "Father". This made him feel in a trance for a moment, who was he calling?

The ingot torch seemed to be satisfied. His expression became a little calmer than before. His eyes opened and closed, and his body lay flat, gradually ceasing to move.

Finally, he muttered a word, and his body remained motionless.

Yuwentai kept staring at the ingot torch, and finally exhaled slightly, looking stable.

Yuan Qin watched in disbelief until the end. When the ingot torch stopped moving, he stepped forward and gently pushed. "Father". The ingot torch still didn't move. Yuan Qin pushed harder, but he still didn't move, he finally understood, and cried loudly.

Yuan Qin's unscrupulous crying made Yu Wentai very unhappy. He then stood up and walked out of the tent, without looking back at the body of the ingot torch.

The emperor collapsed, the Great Wei suddenly changed, and at this critical moment of life and death, he had to think of a contingency and must not cause any more trouble.

Yu Wentai didn't hear the last words of the Yuan Bao Torch, and he didn't care about it, thinking that it was just that the Yuan Bao Torch was worried about his son.

Yuan Qin heard it clearly, so he was extremely sad.

The last thing the ingot torch said was, "Yue'e...... Yuwen ...... Mistaken ......" (To be continued.) )
