Chapter Seventy-Four: The Three Princes Who Are Not Popular
"Mu He, boiling?"
Bu Tong remembers that it was the name.
Chang'an looked hurried, turned around and was about to leave, when he heard Bu Tong's words, he turned around and saluted again, and said earnestly, "Miss still needs to be cautious, how can you talk about the name of the third prince at will." ”
Butong waved his hand,
"I know, I know, Chang'an, why did you go back to the house and start nagging again."
Chang'an turned his head and left, Bu Tong tidied up his clothes, looked at Tang Xuanlin on the side with an indifferent face, and couldn't help but ask,
"The third prince used to lead troops outside all the year round, but now what's the matter, he actually returned to Beijing with the army?"
Tang Xuanlin nodded,
"I have almost no impression of this Third Highness, I only know that his biological mother died early, and he is not very harmonious with His Majesty, he joined the army early and never returned to ......the court, and now I don't know why."
Bu Tong sighed again and again,
"Another person who was hurt by this majestic imperial power."
Tang Xuanlin looked at Bu Tong's contemplative appearance, his eyes were empty a little bit, as if he had fallen into the endless dark night,
"Tong'er, you have to know that there are no poor people in this Kyoto city."
Bu Tong is puzzled,
"Isn't this Third Highness a pitiful man?"
Tang Xuanlin moved the corners of his mouth slightly, and the bitterness overflowed little by little,
"The prince and grandson, born in the big house, grew up in the deep palace, there is no warmth at all, the mother of the third prince was originally very favored, it is rumored that His Majesty had in the prime of life, for this favorite concubine moved the idea of the prince, and then I don't know what happened, the favorite concubine fell out of favor and died, and the 17-year-old third prince was also exiled, and then ten years of exile, the city of Kyoto was full of turmoil, and no one remembered him."
Bu Tong sighed softly,
"It's not easy, now I can see it, it's fate, I'll go over first, Xuanlin wants to come and visit?"
Tang Xuanlin glanced at the location where Chang'an left,
"That's it, Buyu's matter still needs to be done as soon as possible, I'll go back to Dongchang to arrange it first, the prince first returned to Beijing, I took the liberty to see him in the house, if it was passed out by someone with a heart, it would not be good."
Sure enough, Tang Xuanlin was thoughtful.
Butong nodded,
"Buyu's matter, biting Mu Hequan to check is that there will definitely be results, as for whether she died in vain, and if she got acquainted, it can be regarded as an explanation."
……
The front hall is lively again, but today's atmosphere is a little dignified, not like the day before yesterday when the battle tiger with a group of young generals, several respectable elders looked upright, sat there in a regular manner, and spoke, Butong entered the door, bowed his head and saluted,
"I've seen my father, my uncle, my uncle, and the generals."
Bu Tingyun nodded, pointed to the man who was twenty-seven or eight years old beside him, and smiled detached and polite, "Tong'er, I've seen the Third Highness soon." ”
Bu Tong is committed,
"Tong'er has seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
Mu Hewen's skin is a healthy wheat color, his eyebrows are clear and his air is lofty, and at first glance he is a person who has grown up in the vast world outside, not like the princes in Beijing, who are stoic and calculating, and his eyes are full of unfathomable.
Fair and straightforward. This is also one of the reasons why Bu Tong has a good impression of people in the military.
Mu Hewen got up and shook his fist, "It turned out to be the lady of Changping County, and she was polite." ”
The nobleman was like this, and everyone also got up one after another, Bu Tingyun frowned, "Your Highness has tormented the little girl, but it is just Your Majesty's love, what kind of county lord is called in front of Your Highness, just call Tong'er casually." ”
Butong hurriedly lifted his skirt and knelt down,
"Tong'er has seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
Mu He smiled wryly, "Lord Nanguo has a good way to teach his sons, and a pair of children are so sensible and excellent, Lord Xiaobu is now young and worships the military department, and Ah Tong is only 17, and the title of 'little gentleman' has already been introduced to the western realm." ”
Although these words are also flattering, there is always a different feeling in the ears of everyone, and the frustration of loss is undoubtedly obvious.
Bu Tingyun only lowered his head deeper, "Your Highness has praised falsely, and it is the duty of a courtier to be loyal to Your Majesty." ”
Mu He smiled, "Ah Tong get up quickly, the ground is cold, don't be so polite in the future, I am not a person who cares about these courtesies, just call me 'Ah Wen'." ”
"How can this be done?" Bu Tingyun hurriedly refused, "His Highness favors it, and His Majesty is grateful, but it is really disrespectful to call His Highness by his name like this." ”
Bu Tong got up with a smile, his impression of Mu Hewen soared, and he didn't know why his father was trembling now.
"Thank you, third brother."
The crowd was in a hurry, and their jaws dropped.
In Mu Hewen's smiling eyes, Bu Tingyun was shocked by Bu Tong's words, and Bu Yiyang hurriedly helped him from the side,
"Father, be careful."
Bu Tingyun felt that his eyes were full of gold stars for a while, and the Xiguo Gong, who had always been talkative, was also stunned, and finally the Beiguo Gong laughed when he saw this.
"Young people's own affairs, we old guys don't have to care, besides, Tong'er is now the county lord's mother, and she is the sister of the Third Highness."
Mu Hewen nodded in response,
"What the Lord of the North Kingdom said is right, when I saw Ah Tong today, it was very fateful, and there was a sense of familiarity at first sight, Ah Tong had done a lot of good things for the country and the people, and I admired it very much, if I had the opportunity in the future, I would like to have more contact with Ah Tong."
Bu Tingyun smiled awkwardly, and couldn't say anything, so he had to nod his head, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
Bu Tong looked at Mu Hewen with a smile, "The third brother is with the general class this time, but this time he wants to stay in Kyoto for a little longer?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone became cautious and listened carefully.
This seems to be casual, but in fact, it asks the point, the prince who has been away all the year round suddenly followed the general back to the court, but it was not because His Majesty recalled him, what is the reason? Will you go back to the West? This is the topic that everyone is most concerned about.
This person came back, just because he missed his homeland, or he still wanted to come to this Kyoto city to stir up the situation, and Butong was also curious.
Mu Hewen smiled lightly, and his face that should have been high-spirited showed a hint of amazement, "The western border has been in war for many years, and I have no intention of returning to the dynasty, but I saw the death of my deceased mother for ten years, and as a son of man, how can I not put a stick of incense in front of the spirit?" ”
Bu Tong faintly felt that he was hiding something, but he couldn't deduce it, after all, this was a new character that he hadn't seen in his previous life until he died.
"His Royal Highness is righteous for the country, Niangniang naturally has a number, and now she is deliberately returning to the dynasty, Niangniang will be pleased." Bu Tong smiled lightly, looked at Mu Hewen and nodded,
"Thank you."
The people on the side who listened carefully with their ears pricked up also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the existence of this person did not pose a threat to everyone, then what difference did it make between one more and two idle princes in Kyoto City.
Everyone smiled and beckoned everyone to sit back, the atmosphere was a little more relaxed, Mu Hewen suddenly spoke, "I heard that there is an extra fierce general in Kyoto City, and an organization called 'Dongchang' has been established, and the methods of espionage, assassination, and interrogation are very cruel, and the overseer Tang Xuanlin is thoughtful and decisive, he is a terrible character, is this really the case?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say about that person for a while.
Seeing this, Bu Tong smiled and spoke first,
"The news of the Third Highness is very well-informed, Tong'er has more contact with Lord Tang, and once went to Dongyi City to organize the management of the pox epidemic, the Lord is not chaotic in the face of danger, decisive and thoughtful, is a rare talent, and was later hunted down on the way back to Beijing, and it was also Lord Tang who blocked an arrow for Tong'er, which saved him from pain."
Speaking of this, the Duke of the North and the Duke of the West couldn't help but sigh together,
"It's so dangerous."
"Thankfully, the soup is here."
"yes, how can there be a killer in the suburbs?"
……
Mu He smiled, "Such a character, it seems that you should get to know and make friends in the future." ”
Bu Tong didn't know how to answer this, so he turned around to hold the teacup, and unexpectedly found that Bu Tingyun's eyes didn't seem to be very friendly when he looked at the third prince......
In the afternoon, everyone dispersed, Bu Tingyun and Bu Yiyang were finally able to take off their wide court clothes, but they immediately called Bu Tong to the study, as soon as they entered the door, Bu Tong found that his father and brother's appearance was not quite right, Bu Yiyang stood aside with a tangled posture that he couldn't figure out, Bu Tingyun was full of gloom, and when he saw Bu Tong enter the door, he sighed softly, "Tong'er, come and sit down." ”
Bu Tongyi was a little flattered, this is, a rare warmth from the old father?
Sit down carefully, but Bu Tingyun looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Bu Tong was puzzled and was just about to ask, Bu Yiyang suddenly rushed over and sat next to Bu Tong,
"Tong'er has fallen in love with that Mu Hewen? No, you can't. ”
Bu Tong almost choked on his own saliva, "What? ”
Bu Tingyun nodded a little embarrassedly, "Yi Yang is right, it's true. ”
Bu Tong is messy, it's just that his father misunderstood, why is Bu Yiyang, a person who knows the inside story, like this?
"How is that possible?" Bu Tong's eyes widened and he made a serious appearance,
"I've never met His Royal Highness at all."
Bu Yiyang leaned closer and squinted at Bu Tong, "Didn't you see that the third prince had a good appearance, so you fell in love with him at first sight!" ”
Bu Tingyun heard this and immediately spoke, "No! “
Bu Tong got up in a hurry,
"Father, don't listen to my brother's nonsense, when did Tong'er fall in love with that Mu Hewen?"
Bu Yiyang blinked, "You call him the third brother." ”
Bu Tong innocent,
"It's always right to give the love of the prince and the grandson."
Bu Tingyun opened his mouth and added, "Just now, you still helped him break the siege?" ”
Butong spreads his hands,
"Which of the new people in Beijing is not curious about Tang Xuanlin, my father and uncle are now in the court, and it is always inappropriate to talk about the new upstarts in the imperial court, so my daughter grabbed the words, is it inappropriate?"
Bu Tingyun frowned, still not convinced, "Tong'er really didn't ......"
Bu Tong shook his head decisively,
"There is absolutely no other thought, father and brother rest assured."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Butong was puzzled,
"Why are my father and brother so jealous of the third prince, I see that he is acting clearly, and he has been fighting abroad for many years, so he doesn't look like a person who needs to be guarded against."
Bu Tingyun shook his head lightly, "It's not as simple as Tong'er imagined, that Mu Hewen is by no means a simple person, and it depends on whether he will return to the west after he sweeps the sacrifice for his dead mother." ”
