Yu Wentai took a closer look at Yuan Yuying: In order to facilitate a peaceful sleep, he pulled his hair in a bun at will without hindering tossing and turning on the pillow. When I woke up a night, my hair was a little messy, but it had a different charm. Yu Wentai sat on the edge of the couch and naturally reached out to take her hand. Her hands were warm, not as cold as they were before he fell asleep last night, which warmed his heart.

Looking at Yuan Yuying's complexion again, although there is no ruddy blood color on her cheeks, her complexion is moist, and her skin is like transparent. The lips are not as dull as they were a few days ago, and they look a little more moisturized. It looks like he's almost cured from a serious illness. This made Yu Wentai feel very comforted.

At this time, Nan Qiao had already come in and took a silk for the master mother to drape on her shoulders. Because Yuan Yuying was only wearing white treasure socks, she was afraid of the cold of winter. Then Nan Qiao silently retreated, knowing that the prime minister and the mistress had something to say, for fear of disturbing them.

"The virtuous wife is getting better and healthier, and I am relieved......" Yuwentai looked at Yuan Yuying intently, and suddenly said without a beginning or an end.

Hearing this, Yuan Yuying's heart jumped, and she always felt a bad premonition. But she didn't change her face and be shocked, nor did she remind her husband, she only smiled, "With my husband here, how can I be uneasy?" "It's a kind of covert compensation.

"I serve the lord and go to the old capital Luoyang to pay homage to the temple and ancestral tomb, and I am about to set off immediately, and I will work hard for my wife." Yu Wentai actually had something to say in his heart, but he didn't mention it after secretly weighing it repeatedly, but he was very uneasy. His hand tightened slightly, holding Yuan Yuying's hand in the palm of his hand.

Return to the old capital, worship the ancestors, this is Yuwentai personally promised the Yuan Bao Torch, and he has always kept it in his heart. This is also what he wants to do, and the battle for the order is also a kind of competition between him and the Gao father and son.

"My husband has never been a reckless person, so why should he be so anxious?" Yuan Yuying looked at him and said slowly. She lacks the strength to speak, her middle qi is still weak, and her voice is even more low.

Yuwentai's mind is not only known to himself, but also to Yuan Yuying. He thought that since his wife knew his thoughts, she would readily agree, but he didn't expect her to object. Although Yuan Yuying didn't say it explicitly, according to her temper, she was roundabout and tactful, which could be regarded as a clear objection. Yu Wentai couldn't understand why she would object, half of the land of Henan was in his hands, and there was no obstacle to thinking about this matter.

"Doesn't the good wife want me to go?" Yu Wentai was not reconciled to this, and simply asked bluntly. His eyes were fixed on Yuan Yuying. He cares about her attitude, not only because she is his wife, but also because the eldest princess has a special status and her attitude is crucial. "Or does Your Highness only want the Lord to go up, and doesn't want me to go with the Lord?" Yu Wentai still couldn't help it, and asked again.

Yuwentai's personality has never been like this, but when he is willful, he shows his temper of never hesitating and doing his own thing. He was even more unwilling to get such an answer from her.

"I'm worried about my husband's ......" Yuan Yuying didn't persuade again, knowing that her husband's character became more and more courageous, and if she persuaded her again, she would suffer even more, and the couple would turn against her. The husband is the pillar of the country, the pillar of the Great Wei, and I know very well that the husband and the king help the lord to prosper the heart of the society. It's just that the great cause may not be accomplished in a day, and now that the situation is not stable, how can the Yecheng Gao clan stand still and give up? "This is also the truth, Yuan Yuying is Qu Yi endured his temper and euphemistic advice, and no longer sees the eldest princess who is sharp and respects me, Yuwentai is a little sad.

"A good wife doesn't have to worry, I have everything for me." Yuwentai appeased Yuan Yuying in general, then held her hand and was silent.

Neither of them knew what to say to the other for a while. Finally, Yuwentai shook Yuan Yuying's hand hard, then let go of her and stood up, "Your Highness, take care......" He turned around and was silent for a moment before saying, "Wait for me to come back." With that, he walked outside.

Yuan Yuying watched his back disappear, full of doubts and worries. But at this time, it is inconvenient to say anything, so I can only bury all this in my heart and bear it alone.

After a while, Kung Fu Nan Qiao walked in. Nan Qiao looked at the look of the mistress, walked to the couch, took off the silk for her, helped her lie down, folded the quilt, and asked tentatively, "Did Mrs. say that?" ”

"The prime minister is restless, and it is inconvenient to disturb him for trivial matters at this time." Yuan Yuying lay down, still thoughtful, "Yun Jiang's reputation is a matter of time, now you might as well let the house know that I have the heart to support her, and help her establish her authority first." Yuan Yuying said that she was already tired, and waved her hand to Nan Qiao.

Nan Qiao retired, and Yuan Yuying closed her eyes again to recuperate.

The wind was cold, raging and wild in Luoyang City, which reminded the Western Wei Emperor Yuan Bao Torch of that night many years ago. At that time, he was still the king of Nanyang, and the first emperor Yuan Xiu, who was then the king of Pingyang, watched Gao Huan, the king of Bohai, who led troops from Xindu to Luoyang, kill Emperor Yuan Gong of Liezong Festival, and killed the little emperor Yuen Long who was set up by Gao Huan himself and brought from Xindu.

By mistake, Yuan Xiu was made emperor, but in the end, he couldn't escape his fate and died at the hands of the ministers. It's just that this minister is Yuwentai instead of Gao Huan. And what Yuan Baoju didn't expect was that he himself would one day return to Luoyang as the emperor of Great Wei.

What Yuan Bao Ju didn't expect was that when he returned to the old capital as the emperor of Great Wei, the old capital was in ruins. Palace, Jongmyo ...... It has long lost the majesty and splendor of the day, and the entire Luoyang City is in ruins. In winter, Luoyang, which is gray in color, has no vitality at all.

The palace and the temple were demolished, most of the government offices were damaged by the war, and more importantly, the popularity was lost. The emperor and hundreds of officials went west, went north, and the wealthy households also moved to Yecheng, the new capital of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and only poor families and homeless people remained in Luoyang City.

Yongning Temple, which was once full of incense, and Yongning Temple, which witnessed the blood of the two Great Wei Emperors, also declined. The ingot torch is facing the ruined palace room, looking at the wild grasses everywhere and the fox squirrels are infested, how can you think of the grand occasion of the great court meeting here? Where does the Jongmyo exist? Where does Da Wei exist? The Great Wei Dynasty was cracked, and the society had collapsed, but he had to be the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty and painfully maintained this behavior of splitting the society for personal selfish desires.

The cold wind penetrated into the bones, and the ingot torch raised his eyes to look, but he only saw the same dilapidated houses, but he couldn't see the Nanyang Mansion that he would never forget in his heart. Luoyang's Nanyang Palace, which was his real home.

The honeysuckle flowers embroidered on the middle clothes, the peach blossoms blooming in the princess's courtyard, and the person who embroidered for him and looked at the flowers with him...... Whenever I think of this, the memories are full of sunshine. Now not only can there be no trace of the Nanyang Mansion in Luoyang, but even that person knows where to go. He had never dared to ask her whereabouts. It's not that I'm afraid of being damaged, but I'm afraid that I'll be involved in her. Maybe she's not too bleak, after all, she's Miotu's biological mother.

"Your Majesty." Behind the Yuan Bao Torch came Yuwentai's voice.

The Yuan Bao Torch, who was in deep thought, was interrupted by this voice, but it was him again, who was startled that the Yuan Bao Torch trembled, quickly adjusted secretly, calmed down and turned around and asked gently, "What is the matter with the Prime Minister?" ”

"The palaces in the city are all destroyed, the official offices are gone, and the houses are dilapidated, so it is really not suitable for His Majesty to come ......" Yu Wentai did not say it too obviously. Since there is no temple anymore, there is no need to stay in Luoyang City. Luoyang is a land of right and wrong, and the Yuan Bao Torch, as the son of the Great Wei Dynasty today, cannot stay in this land of right and wrong for too long. If nothing else, he alone is easy to touch the scene.

"It's okay, Lone can stay in the camp with the prime minister." What Yuan Bao Ju said made Yu Wentai very flattering.

On the side of the river under the mountain, you can't see the grand scenery of the ten miles of vermilion cherry blossoms. The cherry trees in winter are withered and bare without a single leaf. This place is not far from the ancestral tomb on the mountain, which can be regarded as giving some comfort to the emperor's Yuan Bao Torch, but fortunately, the ancestral tomb is not destroyed. Looking at the remnants and sighing, paying homage to the ancestral tomb can finally be realized.

The winter nights were even colder, and the military tent where the ingots were torched was not very warm. At this time, the emperor had already gone to bed, and only the guards outside did not dare to relax in the slightest. One of the sergeants guarding the tent was particularly sensitive, and suddenly felt a slight chill in his nose, and immediately raised his head to look up at the night sky. A bend of the moon, which was almost perfect, and the light of a campfire not far away, made him see the snowflakes falling in the sky at once.

The hussar general Zhao Gui walked towards the emperor's imperial tent from afar. He completely ignored the falling snowflakes and scanned the scene in front of the tent like an eagle. It's just that Zhao Gui didn't approach the imperial tent, and went around to other places as if he was passing by the camp. It seems that the emperor is really asleep.

In fact, the ingot torch is really asleep. After working for many days, today I feel great grief and pain and can't be relieved, lying on the bed is already exhausted and exhausted, and I can't help but fall asleep. Visiting the old capital and worshiping the ancestors was not as impassioned as he originally imagined, not only did it not make him feel stuffy in his chest, but it made him more depressed. He became this emperor, he gave up Yue'e, are these right or wrong?

The hussar general Zhao Gui personally inspected the key places in the camp, and when he saw that the camp was quiet and there was no movement, he took no one with him and quietly went out of the camp. Not far from the camp is the Qianhe River. In winter, there is no scenery on the riverside, and it is desolate. The water of the river is already in a semi-frozen state, and the ice surface of the riverbed along the river is frozen solidly, and there are still waves in the middle of the river.

There was no green on the riverbank, the branches were dead, and the frozen soil on the bank was faintly white as if it had been hung with frost. The snow became heavier and heavier, and the flakes of snow fluttered and fell, and in a short time the riverbed, frozen soil, and dead trees were covered. When Zhao Gui walked over, he saw two people on the bank of the river from a distance, who seemed to be whispering together.

Yu Wentai and Yu Jin on the bank of the river both raised their heads and watched Zhao Gui come over. Both of them looked heavy, but they couldn't see it so clearly in the night. Silently watching Zhao Gui stop beside them, Yu Jin asked, "Is it still quiet in the camp?" ”

"Naturally quiet," Zhao Gui smiled very calmly, and glanced at Yu Wentai again, "With the lord here, everyone is at ease." ”

Yu Jin said with some apprehension, "Since the scout has already discovered that Dongkou is coming, he must have known that the lord and the prime minister are in Luoyang City, and the lord must not take it lightly." Although Yu Jin knew that Yuwentai would not sit still, after all, this time it was the Son of Heaven who came to visit the ancestral tomb, which was not trivial. If something goes wrong, it's not just a joke.

The snowflakes in the moonlight are big and beautiful, and when you look closely, each snowflake is a fantastical shape. Endless lines form endless corners, and you can never find the deepest, most hidden corner. But none of the three had the heart to enjoy the snow.

All three of them were also wearing hakama and crotch armor, as if they were unconscious and not afraid of the cold. Yu Jin and Zhao Gui both looked at Yuwentai, Yuwentai looked up at the hazy but actually not far away mountain in the snow, and replied lightly, "Wait, let the scout be careful, who is coming and how many people are brought." ”

Yu Wentai's mind turned I don't know how many times. He, Yu Jin, and Zhao Gui were specially trained by the Holy Driver, and although there were not too many people with them, they were all iron horses. The follow-up troops, Li Bi, Li Hu and others led the army to arrive on the same day. So even if there is a change, there is no rush for a while. If Gao Cheng comes, Yuwentai is willing to use himself as bait, and if he can capture this Eastern Wei general again, he will never be soft again. It was Gao Cheng's assistance that made the Eastern Wei Dynasty stronger and stronger. With this powerful opponent here, when will he be able to stretch out his ambition in the world?

Yu Jin did not speak, or objected with silence. Yu Wentai's mind is also clear, that is, he is afraid that the emperor's ingots torch will be lost. If you have a mistake, it is the fault of the minister, and in the end it is Yuwentai who will be criticized.

Zhao Gui has always been scheming, but he agrees with Yuwentai's wait-and-see attitude for the time being. Just as he was about to persuade Yu to say a few words, he suddenly heard a clear sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and the three of them looked up together. A general had already galloped forward, reined in his horse, flew down, and strode forward, a series of clean movements.

"And what do you know?" Zhao Gui raised his cheeks and asked.

The general first gave a salute, and then replied in a very simple voice, "Prime Minister, the two generals, have discovered that Dongkou Hou Jing and Gao Aocao led 100,000 soldiers to wave their troops down from the Tiger Prison, have crossed the river bridge, and are heading straight for Luoyang City. The general seemed to be very steady, and he didn't say anything more, quietly waiting for the orders of the prime minister and the two governors.

Yu Wentai waved his hand, and the general who reported the news immediately retreated.

"Lord, Luoyang City is dilapidated, I'm afraid it can't be defended......" There is always a shadow in Yu Jin's heart, feeling that the death of the first emperor Yuanxiu is related to him, so he always wants to protect the current emperor's Yuanbao torch, which is of course also dedicated to Yuwentai.

"Sijing doesn't need to be anxious, presumably the lord already has an arrangement in his heart." Zhao Gui had never seen Yu Jin so worried, so he couldn't help but persuade him.

Sure enough, Yu Wentai raised his hand and pointed to the northwest of Luoyang City, "Kim Yong City is intact, you might as well ask the Lord to move Kim Yong Cheng first." ”

Kim Yong Castle is the acropolis of Luoyang City, which was originally set up by Cao Wei for defense. Since Emperor Gaozu Xiaowen moved the capital from Pingcheng to Luoyang, he built palaces and government offices in Luoyang, but Kim Yong Cheng has never been abandoned. And when the community was divided, and the city of Luoyang was later demolished and warned, Kim Yong Cheng was spared. Nowadays, Kim Yong City is stronger than Luoyang, Chishen City is high and easy to defend, and the palace still exists in the city. The palace room is not ornate, but at least it is complete. Whether it is to defend against the enemy or the emperor's holy car, it is a good choice. Staying here for a while, presumably Li Bi and others will soon lead troops to help.

Yu Jin and Zhao Gui understood at this time that Yu Wentai had already thought about everything very clearly in his heart and made arrangements.
