Chapter 137: The marriage covenant suddenly changes
Yu Wentai was surprised in his heart, he was even a little incredulous, he couldn't believe that Yuan Bao Ju had this kind of bearing and self-knowledge. But when Yuan Bao Ju said this, he was really heart-wrenching, and he could see it.
Yu Wentai got up and bowed to the ground, "Your Majesty knows the grace of the encounter, and the minister does not dare to forget it." Only by serving His Majesty can we thank Your Majesty for your kindness. ”
Yuan Bao Ju turned his head to look at Yu Wentai, and then looked up at the sky for a moment, his eyes were empty and confused, and he suddenly blurted out, "Black otter ......"
Yu Wentai raised his head suddenly, very surprised, he had never called him like this. "Your Majesty? ......" he was suspicious.
"The temples are all in Luoyang, the roots of the Great Wei are in Luoyang, the foundation of Lone's grandfather and Emperor Xiaowen is in Luoyang, and the Nanyang Mansion is in Luoyang......" He retracted his gaze and looked at Yuwentai with tears in his eyes, "Lone misses Luoyang very much." ”
Yu Wentai was also moved, "Your Majesty's thoughts are also the thoughts of the ministers." The minister must return to Luoyang to pay homage to the mausoleum of the temple by His Majesty. His voice was a little hoarse. He is not a person who can express feelings, express feelings, and never want to express them.
Yuan Bao Ju stretched out his hand to him, and Yuwentai got up and sat back.
"What does the prime minister want to do?" Yuan Bao Ju asked.
"In the autumn of critical survival, please put the community first, first issue an order to abolish it, and then set up Princess Rouran as the queen." Yuwentai already looked as usual. Now that the monarch and the ministers are working together, there is no need to supplement so much nonsense. Besides, this matter has been agreed a long time ago, and the emperor must know that the Rouran Ministry plays a pivotal role at this time.
Yuan Bao Ju didn't speak, and nodded slowly.
Yu Wentai didn't push again, he didn't need to use such inferior means.
"This matter is up to the Prime Minister's arrangement." Yuan Bao Ju expressed his attitude, and said, "Gu has recovered, so I will cut the meal from today, and all the expenses in the palace will be reduced, and the prime minister will let Su Sui worry about it." ”
This made Yu Wentai unexpected, but he immediately retorted, "The Supreme is raised by the world, and the ministers should be cut from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they can't be wronged by Your Majesty." ”
Yuan Baoju chuckled indifferently, "The world is hungry, what is the need for Lonely, and this is what he can do for the people of Guanzhong." The rest of the matters will be left to the prime minister's consideration. ”
Yu Wentai thought about it and said, "The use in the palace is limited, and if you want to save the use, you have to start with the officials." The system is complicated, so it is better to abolish some redundant officials who are not needed. First, it saves money, and secondly, it also reminds the current officials that they can work hard for the community. ”
Yuan Baoju smiled, "What the prime minister said is extremely true. ”
The two of them talked about some details, and Yuwentai resigned.
Fortunately, it never rained again in Chang'an, which was sunny.
Yuwentai went back to the house and entered the garden, originally wanting to go back to the study immediately, but when he arrived at the gate of the garden, he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to go to his wife Yuan Yuying's Buddhist hall to have a look. It's just that when I left the house, I didn't know where I heard a sentence, saying that the eldest princess was not happy. He had originally memorized it, and he happened to be remembering it at this time.
"Big brother." The people who had just been instructed to follow all retreated, and were about to go to the Buddha hall when they suddenly heard a call behind them. When I turned around, I saw that it was bald, but it was red and smiling.
"The second brother has been in Chang'an for a few days, and it seems that he is very comfortable living in my house, and it also saves me from worrying about poor etiquette. In this case, the second brother should go with me to meet the Son of Heaven and discuss the matter of ordaining the princess as the queen. Yu Wentai stopped and said bluntly.
"Eldest brother, I came to Chang'an this time to live in the eldest brother's mansion, my brother and sister-in-law are thoughtful and considerate, eat well, sleep well, I just suppressed the fright, why does my brother want to send me to that unsightly place?" Bald Tujia looked distressed, completely like a child's coquettishness.
But seeing that he was serious, Yu Wentai was shocked, his face was quite calm, and he asked lightly, "What is an unsightly place?" How could the second brother be so abrupt in the Great Wei court? ”
Seeing Yuwentai's frowning eyebrows and changing color, Bald Tujia immediately smiled and said, "The eldest brother is very strict with me, I am very afraid of the eldest brother in my heart, and he will be angry with me like this, the younger brother is young, if he says the wrong thing, please don't be surprised." ”
Yu Wentai sighed secretly in his heart. This Rouran world is really difficult, and he is exquisitely old at a young age. He can't be soft and hard, and it's really hard to grasp the proportion. can only put down his figure, and the color is kind, "The second brother is in my house, if you see the Son of Heaven, you must be careful." The power of the Son of Heaven will not be violated. "Raising the Son of Heaven is also lifting the Great Wei, which can be regarded as implying that Rouran can only be regarded as a subsidiary state.
Bald Tujia seemed to be unaware, his already big eyes widened, tears welled up in an instant, and he asked aggrievedly like a child, "The Son of Heaven killed the palace people with a sword, so I was scared away last time." Now that I have come to join my eldest brother, my brother still wants to send me to the palace to see the murderous son of heaven? ”
Yuwentai was almost helpless in the face of such a small child.
Bald Tujia suddenly cried, "In this case, I might as well die under the sword of the eldest brother, which can be regarded as fulfilling the brotherhood, so as not to die under the sword of the Son of Heaven who slashed and killed indiscriminately." Then he turned and left.
Yuwentai suddenly reacted and hurriedly shouted, "Shut up!" ”
This Gao Zhenyu's shout immediately frightened Bald Tujia. He didn't dare to go any longer, so he slowly turned around and looked at Yu Wentai with teary eyes.
"If you are so nonsense, you will immediately go back to the headquarters of Rouran, so as not to spoil the affairs of the state!" Yuwentai was also extremely angry.
Bald Tujia thought to herself, maybe she was really acting a little too much, so she lowered her head and whispered, "Big brother is magnificent, and he will not care about me." ”
Yu Wentai knew in his heart that he would accept it when he saw it, and he really couldn't afford this fire at this time. Seeing that he was still a child, he had to endure it, and sighed for a while, "Today, Ziyi is outstanding, he is a generous and benevolent gentleman, and he should have a lady as a match." The middle palace is already vacant, everything is ready, just waiting for Princess Rouran to enter the middle feed. ”
Yu Wentai knew in his heart that Bald Tujia obviously knew that the current emperor was the newly established Nanyang King Yuanbao Torch, not the first emperor Yuanxiu. The change in Gong Ye happened during the last time Bald Tujia was in Chang'an, and he couldn't be so confused as to forget such an important thing. is so indiscriminately entangled, looking at him left and right, there must be a reason for this.
"Prime Minister," Bald Tujia was no longer at all the child who was happy and angry just now, her face was calm and calm, and she became mature and sophisticated in an instant. His cold "Prime Minister" woke Yuwentai up. "My Khan's father, Shuofang County, has taken to heart the grace of the Great Wei's reward and support, and I am willing to form an alliance with the Great Wei Yong to rely on each other." This is an indication of the heart, and only on the basis of absolute duality can we talk about the conditions. And the argument of "mutual dependence" has secretly elevated Rouran's status. This Rouran Shizi is really a powerful character.
Yu Wentai heard everything, but he knew in his heart that his face did not move. A faint smile on his lips, "Since the prince is such an understanding person, you might as well say it if you have something to say." ”
It's also time for a showdown. Bald Tujia smiled unceremoniously, "Rou Ran can marry Da Wei, and Rou Ran is lucky." ”
These words made Yu Wentai's heart fall to the ground. At this time, Da Wei was in turmoil, and others didn't understand that he understood best, and he really couldn't afford to lose. But he only smiled faintly on his face, "This is something that has been agreed a long time ago, so why do you need to embellish it again?" Whether you are willing or not, I'm afraid it's not up to the prince to decide. It's just that the grace of the Son of Heaven depends on how the prince of Shuofang County and the prince of the world receive it. ”
Bald Tujia seized the opportunity and immediately smiled, "Rouran is biased, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will not dare to receive it, and I am willing to marry the princess to the prime minister as his wife." In the future, it is also a blessing for Rouran to have the support of the prime minister. If the prime minister and Rouran become a family, Rouran will naturally obey the prime minister's orders and will be loyal to the Son of Heaven. ”
Bald Tujia's words are very clear, the princess marries the prime minister, on the condition that she is the wife, and the great Wei can be exchanged for the allegiance of the Rouran Department.
All the questions were thrown to Yuwentai.
And the new covenant proposed by Bald Tujia was something that Yuwentai had never thought of at all. Bald Tujia stared straight at Yuwentai. Yu Wentai was stunned, and the answer in his heart had already jumped out, "Impossible!" But he couldn't refuse Bald Tujia so categorically. The meaning of rejection can be expressed, but the attitude must be pleasant.
Yu Wentai's expression darkened, and he sighed, "I treat my second brother like my own brother, and my second brother wants to trap me in disloyalty and injustice. ”
"It is precisely because I respect my brother as if he were my mother." Bald Tujia pressed forward.
"The whole country knows that Princess Rouran will enter the middle palace, and my courtiers will also, how can they seek to take the king's wife? Besides, my wife has been very kind to me, and I will never turn my back. If I am a person who has abandoned my wife and children, will my second brother still recognize me as a brother? What kind of face do I have to go to the temple again, and see my second brother and Shuofang Jungong again? ”
"Rouran is not a great Wei, I don't talk so much about benevolence, righteousness and etiquette, I only know that the prime minister is a hero in the world." Bald Tujia spoke in a tough tone. Suddenly, the tone of conversation changed, "Besides, my father Khan is not only a daughter of Moonlight. ”
The last sentence is very serious, and it means very much, and it can be regarded as persecuting Yuwentai.
Yu Wentai said coldly, "Since the prince said it so clearly, I would like to ask, if the two Wei really meet each other, who are the princes of Shuofang and the prince going to help?" ”
This makes it even clearer. Without a hint of kindness, without any disguise.
Originally, I thought that Bald Tujia would not lose face at all, but who knew that he replied coldly without hesitation, "Do you still need to ask?" What if the prime minister and I are in transposition? The words are not broken, but the meaning is obvious, naturally it is to wait and see the changes and take advantage of them.
Bald Tujia is almost coercive and seductive. Yu Wentai was extremely annoyed, but he had to hold back. He was just thinking about how to make Bald Tujia lose this idea with both soft and hard, and he had to find a way to persuade him to change his mind, when he suddenly saw Bald Tujia look behind him with a change of face.
Yu Wentai had an ominous premonition in his heart, and slowly turned around.
The eldest princess, Yuan Yuying, was standing behind him. And Yuan Yuying was still behind Nan Qiao and two slaves.
Yuan Yuying heard the words just now, and presumably these slaves and maids also heard them. This is humiliating the eldest princess.
Bald Tujia was also silent. In these days when he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the eldest princess Yuan Yuying treated him very well as a housewife. He asked Yu Wentai to marry his sister as his wife, implying that he divorced his original wife, Yuan Yuying. How could he say it to his face again?
Yu Wentai didn't speak, and turned around again and glanced at Bald Tujia meaningfully. His eyes were sharp, his big dark eyes were full of faint chill, and Bald Tujia could clearly see the warning implied in his eyes. In fact, to be honest, he was a little afraid of this big prime minister and brother in his heart.
Bald Tujia is young after all, and no matter how shrewd and powerful she is, she is not mature and sophisticated enough. Of course, he knew that Yuwentai was the Optimus Prime of Western Wei, and he did respect Yuwentai as his brother in his heart, and at the same time, he was also very aware of his responsibilities as the heir of the leader of Rouran. It's just because of his experience and experience that Yuwentai's uniqueness and spicinessness really shocked him.
Bald Tujia resigned.
Yu Wentai didn't speak, and glanced at Nan Qiao and the two slaves. Nan Qiao understood what Lord Lang meant, so he retired with the two slaves.
Yuan Yuying stood abruptly, his expression was gloomy, and his eyes didn't know where to stay, as if his thoughts had flown away.
Yu Wentai walked over slowly. I thought it was Yuan Yuying, who was sad when she heard Bald Tujia's words just now. He naturally has a decision in his heart, and he will not let her be so sentimental. But I didn't know what to say to her for a while. Is it comfort? Or is it a promise? But these are all things that say there is something, and there is nothing when there is nothing. It's better not to say anything, as long as he knows his true heart.
Yuan Yuying finally looked up at Yu Wentai directly, and when the two of them looked at each other, they seemed to be asking and exploring. Yuan Yuying suddenly picked up the placket and knelt in front of him.
Yu Wentai's heart was angry and painful at this time. If he can't protect his wife with the respect of the prime minister and wants to be manipulated by others, what face does he have to be entrusted by the Son of Heaven to control the society. He couldn't bear to see Yuan Yuying so aggrieved. He walked slowly to her step by step, and at the same time wanted to make a decision in his heart in the midst of a thousand difficulties. If he only asks about his heart and nothing else, he will never divorce his wife. He walked up to her, leaned over and reached out to hold her arm, trying to help her up.
"Husband!" Yuan Yuying looked up at him, no resentment was full of perseverance, she was originally a very assertive person. At the same time, she reached out and pushed away the hand he had been holding her.
Yu Wentai's heart was like being fried, even if he had the blood feud of his father and brother, and even if he shouldered the weight of the country, he had never been so sad. Suddenly, I thought of the emperor's ingot torch, and in an instant, I understood why the ingot torch almost went to Huangquan to pass a life and death pass. But now that it's his turn, what should he do?
If you talk about heroism, is there anyone who can beat his wife?
Yuan Yuying knelt on the ground and refused to get up, "Husband, please immediately write a letter to take me back to my father's and brother's house." Yuan Yuying's eyes were calm, her decision had been made.
"No way!" Yu Wentai finally found an outlet for catharsis and shouted angrily. He knows best in his heart, does she still have a "father and brother"? Her own brother, the first emperor Yuanxiu, had long since disappeared. Although he did not kill him, I did not kill Beren, but Beren died because of me.
"Husband!" Yuan Yuying knelt on the ground, "My husband has abandoned me, I have no complaints, as long as my husband is in the middle of the society, don't let the Son of Heaven suffer such humiliation, I have no regrets in my death." ”
"Sheji Zhongxing doesn't need women to sacrifice for this! You are my wife, and I have everything in everything, so why should you be so attentive? Yu Wentai said angrily.
"The husband is for the society, I am the husband for the husband......" Yuan Yuying was anxious when she saw that he refused to agree, she also knew that Yuwentai was also a very assertive person, and she would never hesitate. Thinking about how to convince him, as soon as he said this, his body fell to the ground.
Yu Wentai was stunned, and immediately stepped forward to pick up Yuan Yuying and walked towards her bedroom in the garden. He called out loudly, "Someone." ”
Nan Qiao and the others hurriedly came when they heard Lord Lang's voice, and returned to the eldest princess Yan's residence with Yu Wentai in their arms.
Yuwentai hugged him and felt that his wife was as light as a feather. He carefully put Yuan Yuying on the couch and asked Nan Qiao, has the eldest princess been in poor health recently?
Nan Qiao originally didn't answer, but she was really forced to do so, so she hesitated and replied: The eldest princess cuts the degree of the house, and she only eats once a day in the middle of the day, and all she eats is rough things. Only if you don't reduce the needs of the prime minister, you must do your best to support the son of Rouran. and ordered that the prime minister should not know about these things.
Yuwentai didn't speak, and ordered Nan Qiao and the others to go out. He sat on the edge of the couch and gently stroked Yuan Yuying's slightly haggard cheeks, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
