Chapter 38: Ruthless but Affectionate (I)

Yuwentai entered the inner courtyard, went straight to the house on the porch, pushed the door in, and sure enough, Yuan Yuying was here.

"Husband," Yuan Yuying saw him come in and immediately greeted him. "If you can't wait today, your husband will forgive your sins."

"A good wife doesn't have to be like that." Yu Wentai said while taking a closer look at Yuan Yuying, and saw that although her skirt was long and swaying, her sideburns were a little messy, and her face was flushed, so he walked up, held her shoulders, stroked her sideburns, and smiled, "Just now a person danced a sword?" Even when I go home, I don't have to change my clothes in a hurry. As long as His Royal Highness is comfortable in the house, I will not worry. ”

Yuan Yuying pulled down his hand on his sideburns, but he held on to his hand and refused to let go, and asked with burning eyes, "Husband is also happy?" ”

When these words were spoken to Yuwentai's heart, he didn't speak, but just clenched Yuan Yuying's hand and looked at her, with a lot of meaning in his eyes.

"Don't you believe me?" Yuan Yuying asked rhetorically, her eyes calm.

"How dare you not believe it?" Yuwentai asked leisurely, "I just don't know why His Highness suddenly asked such a question?" ”

"Because I believe in my husband, my husband is a husband, and my husband should be a male flyer, and An can be a female?" Yuan Yuying's eyes burned like flames.

"Your Highness wants me to return to Chang'an as soon as possible, so that I can contact General Daxing Taihe Bayue and use the power of Guanzhong to escort King Qin?" Yu Wentai's expression was calm and his tone was gentle, but he said in the most straightforward language what Emperor Yuan Xiu hoped for and what Gao Huan, the prime minister, and Gao Cheng were worried about. His face was not shocked, as if the wind was light, sitting on the wall and watching.

Yuan Yuying slowly withdrew her hand with a cold expression. "I don't know about the major events in the world. The general has been following Daxing Taihe Bayue for a long time, and I only respect the general as a loyal and righteous person, not a villain who is in the twilight of the dynasty. Now that the general is my husband, I should respect my husband, but I ......" She paused and looked at Yu Wentai.

Yu Wentai looked expressionless, and it was impossible to guess what he was doing in his heart. It's just that there seems to be a smile on the corner of his mouth looking at Yuan Yuying, and his huge eyes are shining.

"It's just that I have a wish to ask my husband to fulfill it." Yuan Yuying looked at Yu Wentai with longing.

"Your Highness, please speak up." Yu Wentai was also extremely polite.

"In the future, when the time is ripe, please ask your husband to punish Yuan Mingyue for me." Yuan Yuying said hatefully.

This was a bit unexpected by Yuwentai. Slightly stunned, he asked, "Why is that?" ”

"If it weren't for her, would the Lord have ended up with a boudoir rude and tarnished the Holy Name? It was precisely because of her that the emperor and the queen were out of harmony. She should not be angry with the safety of the society because of her own selfishness, so that the Lord will not be in charge. Didn't the husband think she should be killed? Yuan Yuying was already angry.

"Good wife...... "Yu Wentai took Yuan Yuying's hand again." If they are husband and wife, what is the difference between one and the other? ”

"Husband," Yuan Yuying also held hands and looked at each other, her eyes were sincere, "The world has done everything to obey the mandate of heaven, please husband, please protect the emperor of Great Wei from being humiliated, and protect my brother's life." Tears welled up in her eyes.

Yu Wentai's face was calm, and his heart had already fluctuated. He hugged Yuan Yuying into his arms and was silent. He never thought that this eldest princess of Great Wei and the eldest sister of Emperor Yuan Xiu would be so calm and lovely. He was pleasantly surprised by her indifference, her broad bosom, and her graceful advances and retreats. She never cared about her identity, she truly respected her husband, and she believed in him like never before. It's just, what she asks, can he really do it for her?

"If you want to go back to Chang'an, what do you have to teach the good wife?" Yuwentai changed the subject.

"In my humble opinion, my husband doesn't have to be embarrassed at all. You can first send a letter to Daxingtai He Bayue, and frankly explain the beginning and end, General He Bayue and her husband have been together for a long time, and they know that their husband is a human being, and they will not be surprised. In addition, the husband entered the capital to meet and acted on behalf of General He Batyue, and the lord's courtesy to the husband was to treat General He Batyue. Yuan Yuying tightened Yuwentai's waist while raising her head to look at him and said, "If the husband wants to return to Chang'an, the lord will definitely allow it." The only people to worry about are the prime minister and the high servant. ”

The political affairs of the Xuanguang Hall have been completed, and when he was about to look out after the Taiji Palace, Gao Cheng saw Cui Jishu rushing in a hurry, so he turned around and went west.

Cui Jishu had a tacit understanding in his heart and also followed. All the way around to the east side of the Taiji Hall next to the fluidization pool, I saw Gao Cheng standing in the shade of the tree waiting for him.

At this time, the weather is hot, and the water in the fluidized pool is clear and visible, and there are countless brocade scales in the pool. The pond is surrounded by rocky mountains and green trees, and no idler dares to come here, which is a cool and private place.

"Zhuzi, I haven't seen you come to see Lord Lang these days, your position in the army is busier than me." Gao Cheng was not polite, but a smile appeared on his face.

"Lord Lang is not to blame, it is all because the uncle has forgotten to respect the humble and orderly. After returning from Jiankang, the eldest princess descended to General Yuwentai, and the lord of the country was naturally not idle. My eldest brother is also discussing the marriage of his niece. Uncle Cui Ji's white and chubby face was also full of smiles.

Cui Jishu's eldest brother has a son named Cui Xian, who is now the prime minister, this person Gao Cheng knows, and his impression is not bad. He smiled and said, "The Boling Cui clan is very knowledgeable, and you can't be like you who don't learn and don't know how to do it, wouldn't it be in vain?" I heard that your nephew Cui Xian has poetry books in his belly. ”

Cui Jishu took advantage of it and begged, "My nephew also admires Shizi very much for his young and talented Anbang, why don't you see Lord Lang when he has time?" My nephew will also die. ”

Gao Cheng didn't answer his topic, and suddenly asked with interest, "Your niece...... How is Choi Siam's sister? ”

Although Cui Jishu knew Lord Lang's temperament well, he still didn't want him to ask this question suddenly. After being stunned for a moment, he replied honestly, "My niece is quite talented in singing, but she looks mediocre. He looked at Gao Cheng, Gao Cheng was speechless, and Fang said, "Now I am discussing marriage to Gao Shen, a servant of the Xingtai." ”

"It's him." Gao Cheng blurted out. This Gao Shen is deeply valued by his father, and he has just been transferred from Zuo Cheng to a servant. Speaking of the same clan relatives, the reason why Gao Cheng is scared is because this Gao Shen is the uncle that his father let him recognize. At that time, Gao Huan had just gained power, and it was inevitable to win over people, but Gao Cheng had always been unhappy about this matter.

"That's very good." Cui Jishu looked at Gao Cheng's expression and said happily, "If it is agreed, please invite Lord Lang to come in person." ”

"That's what you're talking about today?" Gao Cheng suddenly stared at Cui Jishu and asked. He glanced at him, then turned and walked slowly towards the pool.

Cui Jishu remembered his intention at this time, and blamed himself for forgetting the big thing. So he followed behind Gao Cheng and whispered about the things in the palace. How Yuan Mingyue regained the favor of Zuo Zhaoyi, and how the queen Gao Changjun fell out of favor and lost her son.

Queen Gao Changjun said that she was not allowed to pass on this matter to the prime minister and the prince, but she did not say that she was not allowed to pass it on to Cui Jishu, a little member of the army. And as long as Cui Jishu knows something, Gao Cheng has no reason not to know.

Cui Jishu said while looking at Gao Cheng's back.

Gao Cheng stopped at the edge of the pool, and from the back, he seemed to be single-mindedly watching the lively and lovely small fish in the pool, and he was very attentive. Until Cui Jishu finished speaking, Gao Cheng didn't move or say a word. Cui Jishu suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little scary.

Just when Cui Jishu was at a loss, Gao Cheng suddenly squatted down and grabbed a large handful of gravel from the ground, raised his arm and threw the large handful of gravel into the fluidized pool. "Knock...... ......There were several loud bangs, the water in the pool splashed, and the fish in the pool fled suddenly.

Originally, he was shiny and smooth, his clothes were dignified, and when he was not smiling, he was the young master of the court. Suddenly started the child's temper, Cui Jishu remembered that the young master was still a child. But his outburst of anger obviously suppressed Cui Jishu.

It took a long time for Gao Cheng to turn around. His clothes were soaked, his hair was a little unkempt, and his face was still full of anger. said coldly, "I see you running back and forth, passing on this opportunity, it would be a pity if you didn't become a Huangmen squire." ”

The Yellow Gate Squire is an important position in the inner palace, and I don't know how many times higher than joining the army, Cui Jishu immediately thanked him when he heard it, "Xie Lang Lord Jian Ba's grace." ”

"Go, go, go!!" Gao Cheng said impatiently, "I don't have the heart to joke with you at this time." "Patience, adjust your breathing, calm yourself, Fang said, "Now Hou Jing left his wife and son back to Boling. The prime minister is going to Jinyang to rebel again, and I am afraid that he will stay in Jinyang after that. Yuwentai's return to Chang'an is just around the corner. In the future, there will always be some useful people around me, and you don't want to be idle all day. ”

The meaning of Gao Cheng's words is already very clear. Gao Huan intended to let the prince take the throne, and he retreated to Jinyang to help his son guard the rear. Hou Jing has been operating in Dingzhou for many years, and it is not easy to move him for a while, but his wife and son stay in Luoyang, they are hostages, and they dare not act rashly. In the future, among the national capitals, the court of Luoyang, and even the Great Wei, will be the world of the prince, Cui Jishu knows this very well. And the prince told him at this time, obviously when he was a confidant and a useful person. Thinking about Sima Ziru, Sun Teng, Gao Yue, Gao Guiyan and others, Cui Jishu felt quite proud in his heart.

"Lord Lang is willing to let Yuwentai return to Chang'an?" After thinking about it, Cui Jishu asked.
