Chapter 123: Xijing Rebellion (1)

Murong Dan walked to the edge of the cliff, felt the wind blowing from the south, felt the wild wind, and suddenly felt a lot of pride in his heart, so he wanted to immediately swing his horse south, smooth out the obstacles, and dominate the country.

Thinking of this, his eyes froze, his right hand held on to the tree, his left hand clenched into a fist, and he struck a blow to the void facing the south, and if there was a blade in his eyes, he broke through the air, and at the same time whispered to himself in his mouth:

"Liu Xiu, I will be happy to have you as my opponent in Pingyan, but you will also be the first sacrifice of me to the top of the world."

The mountain wind was more violent, mixed with the distant mountains and rocks blowing on his face, the pain was hot, but he did not dodge, and continued to stand proudly on the cliff, between heaven and earth, looking from a distance, there was an urge to kneel down and look up in a trance.

It seems that the one standing at the highest place in the world is him Murong Dan.

Behind him, Shangguan Yu looked up at him, an inexplicable emotion flashed on his face, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

After a while, Prime Minister Murong Feng stepped forward and stood still not far from the emperor, as if he was afraid that his voice would be too loud, which would make the emperor frightened and fall to the cliff, he cautiously spoke, and said:

"Your Majesty, the sky is about to dawn, it's time for you to drive back to the palace."

Murong Dan nodded after hearing this, and walked down, when he was about to take a big stride, he suddenly felt something, turned his head and took a final look at the distance in the south, as if his eyes could penetrate this thousand miles of rivers and mountains, and saw Liu Xiu's figure in Pingyan City, and there was some reluctance in his eyes.

"Let's go," after a while, Murong Dan spoke lightly, turned around and was about to leave, and as if he suddenly remembered something, he said to Shangguan Yu: "I am waiting for the good news of the general." ”

Shangguan Yu was a little distracted in a trance, and suddenly heard the emperor calling him, he was taken aback, and only after being stunned did he hurriedly reply:

"The minister must do his best to live up to His Majesty's trust."

Murong Dan smiled, nodded, and slowly descended the mountain.

Behind him, the wind was stronger—

Shu Kingdom, the capital of the West Beijing.

The crown prince Mu Yunxuan looked anxious, and under the guidance of the emperor's personal eunuch Li Gonggong, he almost trotted all the way to the direction of the palace.

At this time, he was in a hurry, and there was no longer the state of mind and emotion when he looked at the high walls on both sides of the palace, and there was only one thought left in his heart, that is, to rush to his father's palace to visit his mother who was suddenly seriously ill.

He got the news early in the morning, saying that the queen went to the imperial garden to enjoy the snow this morning, but when she walked to the imperial river, she accidentally fell into the river, ate a few mouthfuls of cold water, and was frightened.

Mu Yunxuan's mind was in a mess at the moment, and he faintly felt that something was wrong, but he forcibly suppressed the thoughts in his heart that made him tremble, and strode towards the emperor's bedroom.

Almost trotting to the front of the dormitory, the prince did not let the eunuch report for the first time, and pushed the door in the surprised and hesitant gaze of everyone, and the heavy wooden door made a "squeak" sound, flashing a gap, revealing the magnificence inside.

Mu Yunxuan did not stop, stepped on the door and entered, the eunuchs guarding the door behind him hesitated for a moment, and finally did not reach out to pull him, and the door then closed, blocking everyone's sight at the door.

After entering, a strong smell of herbs came to his face, Mu Yunxuan was caught off guard, and he coughed continuously, and after a long time, he got used to it, and without hesitation, he walked quickly to the bedside.

In the depths of the room, Emperor Muyang heard the footsteps at the door, hurriedly turned around, and saw that it was his son, so he let go of his worries, sighed, and continued to look at his wife who was still unconscious on the bed.

At this moment, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and her originally dazzling face had no brilliance at this moment, as if after falling into the water, what was saved was only a shell, and her soul had not yet been salvaged.

The emperor sighed softly, put down the medicine bowl in his hand, reached out and stroked the queen's face gently, as he had done for thousands of nights, brushed it gently, and then waited for her to smile and lean her head over, clinging to his hand, and the two fell asleep together, having the same dream.

But no!

The emperor's heart ached, tears almost fell, and his heart roared with sorrow:

You're gone, what should I do? The world is big, and the time is still long, can you bear me to walk alone for a long time?

If you don't go with me in this life, will we see each other in the next life?

How unjust the heavens are!

Just when he couldn't help himself with grief and almost collapsed in his heart, Mu Yunxuan behind him straightened his clothes, strode in front of the emperor, his voice was choked, and he knelt on the ground, saying;

"Father, the son is late"

After speaking, he buried his head in the ground and could not speak again.

The emperor sighed, turned his head to look at his own son, and saw that there were many similarities between his eyebrows and the empress, and there was a pain in his heart, and he said astringently:

"Get up, it's cold on the ground, don't suffer from the cold, or let your queen mother know, and you will blame me again."

After hearing this, Mu Yunxuan raised his head, looked at the emperor's haggard face, and then looked at the queen lying on the bed, his heart was sour, tears flowed down his face, and finally he finally managed to control his feelings, gritted his teeth and stood up, walked in front of the emperor, and said:

"Yes, Father, Mother"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the emperor wave his hand, pointed to the chair in front of the bed, motioned for him to sit down, and said:

"It's just you and me, father and son, don't be so restrained, come and sit."

The prince nodded, sat down according to his words, looked at the queen on the bed, and said worriedly:

"Father, what did the queen mother say to her imperial doctor?"

The emperor looked sad, sighed, and said:

"The imperial doctor said that your mother suddenly fell into the water, frightened excessively, and because the river water was cold, she suffered from the wind cold, so she was unconscious for a while, the imperial doctor said that after she took the medicine, it would not take long to recover, and you don't have to worry too much, but you have always been weak, and it will be cold this winter, you must take care of your body, don't let you get sick again, let your mother worry."

The prince's eyes flashed, he nodded, and replied:

"Yes, father, the son knows."

The emperor glanced at him, his eyes were full of kindness, and said with a smile:

"Xuan'er, my father has handed over most of the government affairs to you because of his lack of energy over the years, and the ministers of the court and the central government have many hearts for the Ouyang family, I heard the eunuchs say that you are not less bullied by him on weekdays,"

Speaking of this, his expression suddenly fell lonely, and he beckoned to Mu Yunxuan, and the prince hurriedly stood up and walked in front of the emperor.

Seeing that although there was a look of grief on his face, the emperor was full of vitality, and his heart rejoiced, and a smile appeared on his face again, patted the side of the bed, and after the prince sat down, he put his hand on his head, touched it gently, and continued:

"You have been wronged for many years."

When the prince heard this, his body trembled, and his tears could no longer be suppressed, like a child who had been wronged and cried to his father, he buried his head deep in his father's arms, and choked up and shouted:

"Father!"

The emperor sighed, took the crown prince into his arms, patted him lightly on the back, and a dazed look suddenly flashed in his eyes, after a hundred years, can Xuan'er's character survive the most inhuman power struggle vortex in the world?

Not to mention seizing power with the Ouyang family.

He sighed softly, instinctively reluctant to think about this question, but at this moment, deep down in his heart, a name that he had been desperately suppressing for many years seemed to break free from the shackles and blurted out:

Mu Jun.

Thinking of this name, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, as if it had become very difficult to breathe, his eyes were blurry, and he covered his chest and couldn't speak.

Seeing this, the prince was shocked, hurriedly stood up, and was just about to open his mouth to summon the imperial doctor to enter the palace to see him, but the emperor pulled his sleeve and did not let him speak.

After a while, in the prince's worried look, the emperor recovered from the pain, gasped, and said:

"I'm fine, it's just, it's just!"

It seems to be a forbidden belly that he never wants to touch in his heart, that name is on his lips, but when he faces the prince, he can't say it anyway, that is the person he avoids every day, but dreams of it every night!

This is the pain of his life, and it is the pain of the entire Dashu country and the imperial society!

Thinking of this, his brows furrowed again, and the pain struck again, and he never stopped!

On the side, the crown prince bit his lip and stood there for a long time, his eyes stared, as if he had finally made up his mind, and said to the emperor:

"Father, what do you want to talk about is the second brother Mujun?"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, nodded, then leaned on the brocade quilt on the bed, closed his eyes, sighed, and said:

"If Jun'er is here, why would you and I, father and son, fall into such a situation!"

The prince's eyes darkened, and he bowed his head and answered:

"It's the incompetence of the sons"

After hearing this, the emperor opened his eyes, glanced at him, shook his head, and said:

"I don't blame you, your character is too generous, and you lack the courage to kill decisively, but in the whirlpool of power, how can you be too weak, and you can't be a little merciful to the enemy, otherwise if you are not careful, you will be crushed and the country will be ruined."

The prince's face showed a look of helplessness, but he still nodded and replied:

"Erchen knows."

Seeing this, the emperor sighed again and said:

"Although I understand a lot of truths, I don't have much to do in the art of governing the country and the ministers, otherwise I wouldn't have been bullied by the Ouyang family to such a field!"

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at the queen who was lying on the bed and didn't know when he would wake up, his face showed a sad color, and he said sadly:

"If it weren't for you to give me advice and discuss the national plan, I am afraid that my world would have changed hands long ago, when would you wake up? Jun'er is not here, Xuan'er has not grown up yet, if you are not here, how should I take care of this great country! ”

After speaking, he lowered his head, as if he was in grief, and was silent.

Behind him, the crown prince opened his mouth, but after all, nothing came out.

The father and son of Shu Kingdom were silent like this, in front of them was the most important woman in their lives, but she was in a coma at the moment and didn't know when she would wake up.

Outside the door, the eunuchs clung to the door, as if they were loyally protecting the emperor's father and son, and as if they were listening to the news inside.

Outside the sky, it suddenly became gloomy, as if a heavy snow was about to fall on the earth and wash the world!

The wind suddenly became stronger. I1387
