Chapter 20 Whereabouts unknown
As the only remaining brother of the current emperor, King Yu is said to have held power as early as when the former emperor was still alive. At the time of the alternation of imperial power, everyone thought that King Yu, who was already above 10,000 people under one person, would ascend the throne. Just when everyone in the court thought that the new emperor was probably going to become King Yu's puppet, Prince Yu did another thing that broke through everyone's glasses. After the new emperor ascended the throne, King Yu handed over the power of Youzhou, Mizhou and Jizhou without any hesitation, and the unarmed new emperor instantly held the lifeblood of the entire Great Wei. There was only a border talisman at the border, and the new emperor refused to receive it in his hand in order to show his reliance on it. King Yu didn't think anything about it back then, this soldier stabilized the hearts of the Great Wei people in his hands. It also stabilized the surrounding countries of Great Wei.
Now King Yu feels that the emperor's feelings towards his imperial brother should be extremely complicated, although he is still relying on him, he should also be a little jealous. This can also be seen from the emperor's marriage to him. A marriage decree almost shocked the entire government and the opposition, but it is not that I have never seen the marriage, but this wedding date was set in such a hurry, and there is only the general who was killed by a car after the previous dynasty's high merit.
The marriage was completed in February and March, and there was an interval of less than a month, and anyone who thought about it felt that the emperor was afraid that he was extremely disapproving of this family affair, but he had to agree to it because of his brotherhood, in such a short time, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that the king of the word above 10,000 people under this person, the wedding was probably the most shabby one of all the royal children.
At the end of March, less than ten days before King Yu got married, a rapid sound of horses' hooves knocked on Luoyang City, which was still with a fading festive atmosphere, and the sound of "click" horses' hooves knocked on the city that had calmed down for a short time like a talisman, and the news brought was like a stone smashed into the water, stirring up a thousand waves.
The Northern Desert Barbarian Tribe, together with the Wu Tribes in Southern Xinjiang and the surrounding Shiliang, Xiangzu, Jinying, and Shanwu countries, gathered millions of Chen soldiers on the border, and had the potential to engulf the Great Wei.
In a hurry, Feng Yu, who was still in the newlywed Yan'er retreat period, was summoned by the emperor overnight, the lights in the imperial study were lit all night, several ministers quarreled, and finally Feng Yu was ordered to be in danger, and ordered 800,000 soldiers to rush to the border in the starry night, leaving less than 50,000 horses to guard Luoyang, and the command of the five cities was uniformly dispatched.
Li Jiong, who catches cats and teases dogs with Mingzhu every day, is also busy, and Mingzhu seems to have returned to the days when Li Jiong went out with the army two years ago. At this time, she thought of Li Chi, the youngest son of the Li family, and remembered that the kid had sworn to marry her as a bride in the future, and suddenly had the idea of teasing. Mingzhu began to run to the Li Mansion all day long, and Mrs. Ming smiled and joked with Master Ming that she was afraid that she had not raised a daughter for the Li family. Hearing this, Mingzhu stuck out her tongue and forcibly said that Mrs. Li's embroidery was very good, but she was going to do the right thing to learn the skill, and the old man only pouted, and also learned the skill, that book of Lingshui Jue has not been memorized for three months, and this little girl's mind is afraid that it is not used in the right place at all.
Whether it is prevarication or the father's mother, Mingzhu finally succeeded in the Li Mansion, and every day it is really the same as what she said, learning embroidery with Mrs. Li, moving the chessboard to teach Li Chi to play chess, and occasionally teasing and teasing children who are only three or four years old with the term bride, and the small life can be described as extremely comfortable.
Time flies quickly, a year has passed, and on this day, Mingzhu pinched a white child as usual and looked at Li Chi, who was sitting opposite with a tangled face, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Are you sure you want to go here?" ”
Li Chi frowned and thought for a long time, but still firmly decided to be in this position, Mingzhu smiled and squinted, a white son fell, not only sealed all Li Chi's retreat, but the entire dragon was also directly revitalized by this son, Bai Zi was like a dragon that entered the sea and instantly released bursts of killing intent, and the black son collapsed under this offensive. Mrs. Li, who was watching from the side, smiled proudly, as if the winner was her daughter.
"You're losing again." Mingzhu reached out and pinched Li Chi's nose, looking at the little guy with an unwilling smile.
Mingzhu let go and went to the side of the basin to clean her hands, took a silk handkerchief and dried it, so that it was soft next to Mrs. Li. A small square table was placed on the soft collapse, and on the table were seven or eight kinds of delicately shaped dim sum. Mingzhu reached out and pinched a piece of plum blossom cake and was about to put it in her mouth, but saw Li Wei suddenly enter the room.
Li Ji's face had a very complicated expression, some relieved but also a little stiff, and even his face was very stiff when he walked. Those people who usually seem to be heartless and careless make people feel a little inexplicably funny and a little panicked when they get serious, and you will feel that even such a few people are starting to worry, how tricky is this matter.
Mingzhu was a little curious, on weekdays, he came back from the Five Cities Terracotta Division and got it almost the end of the Shen time, but today he just appeared here just after the beginning, no matter how he thinks about it, there is something going on.
Mingzhu chewed two bites and swallowed the plum blossom cake in her mouth, but because she swallowed too quickly, she choked and her face flushed, and she hurriedly drank two sips of water before pressing it down.
Mrs. Li took a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, with a little anger: "Eat slowly, it's not a big deal, what's in a hurry." ”
"Why did you come back so early today?" Mingzhu paused and took the silk handkerchief in Mrs. Li's hand, "Don't you have to be busy over there with the Five Cities Terracotta Division?" ”
"It's easy to come down from today onwards." Li Wei sat down a little relaxed, and reached out to touch the snacks on the table, but was slapped on the back of his hand by Mrs. Li, and stood up to wash his hands in a gloomy manner.
"Oh? There's news over there? Mingzhu looked at the lines on the small square table, and the circles of wood grain meandered, covering the entire tabletop.
"It's considered that there is a result, and it is estimated that the battle report will be sent over in the past two days." Li Wei sat down again, took a small peach cake in his mouth, and said vaguely, "I won." ”
"Isn't it a good thing to win?" Mingzhu looked up at him with a relaxed expression, and did not notice that Mrs. Li quietly left the room with Li Chi in her arms.
"What's there to be happy about," Li Wei raised the teacup on the table and poured saliva, "Hiss, hot!" He stuck out his tongue and sighed, looking like a big yellow dog basking in the sun at the mouth of the alley.
"A victory is also a miserable victory," Li Wei finally relieved, "800,000 people are estimated to be able to come back, less than 150,000, and there is basically nothing to do, tsk, miserable." He shook his head and sighed.
Mingzhu pouted, with a look of unbearability on her face, "I don't know what it's about, war, miserable." By the way," she looked up at Li Wei as if she had just remembered, "What about Prince Yu?" ”
Li Wei saw that Mingzhu seemed to be a little worried, he looked at her eyes, there was a rare panic in his soft and calm eyes, Li Wei suddenly felt a little tingling in his heart, and turned his face away from her: "King Yu... led 800 people to attack the enemy's camp at night, beheaded the witch lord and the barbarian general, and was chased to the Broken Soul Cliff, where his whereabouts are unknown. ”
The sleeves of his shirt were suddenly pulled by someone, Li Wei calmed down, and said word by word with some difficulty: "Of the eight hundred soldiers, none of them came back." ”
