Chapter Eighty-One: I Want to Force Fate
Xie Youyi's mind turned around before he realized who Yuan Ke was talking about Princess Huairou. When Yuan Ke went to the Southern Dynasty, in front of the people of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he proposed to the county lord of Minxing at the night banquet, and the saint was vague at the time, and after Yuan Ke led the team to leave, he suddenly issued an edict to enter the county lord of Minxing as the princess of Huairou, and the prince of Huaizhen in the Northern Dynasty. At that time, he was still in the capital, and he was really sad for a while.
He already has a wife and children, how can he have a hidden mind about that little county lord? He hated his own heart, so impulsive, so blind, so overwhelmed, and miserable every night.
If he hadn't read so many books, knew so many truths, and had so many rules, he might have felt better, after all, sometimes, ignorance is also a kind of happiness.
When he condemned himself, he kept asking himself, Xie Youyi, Xie Youyi, what do you love about her? You are twenty-six years old, your wife is supple, your children are lively, you and her have been wrong for ten years, separated by many palace walls, she is not what you should expect.
When he was young, it was not that he had no fantasies about what his wife was like. He likes to read and write music since he was a child, and he wants to blow those affectionate and tactful tunes one by one to the people he likes, if she can understand, she will definitely look at him with gentle eyes, smile slightly, and then make peace with him. He wanted to hold her hand tightly on a rainy night, and read all those beautiful poems for her under the candle fire under the west window.
Wu. She didn't understand anything, not even whether the flute was played horizontally or vertically. She was always busy with household chores, and he took advantage of her leisure to play a song for her, trying to relax her, but she was absent-minded and not interested.
That's it, in this short life, how many people can find someone who is in love?
The little princess was his ideal lover, but he would never get her, he knew it from the beginning.
All he hopes for is that she can have a lover, cherish her and love her, and protect her for the rest of her life.
And between him and her, it is just an absurd and outrageous play, a broken song.
He has a deep affection and no one trusts him. This deep love can only be hidden in the heart, dare not let people know, dare not cross the thunder pool half a step.
Is the little county lord doing now?
He wanted to know too.
As soon as Yuan Ke opened his mouth, he asked him if Princess Huairou was good, that is, he knew that the little county lord was faking his death.
How did he know that the little county lord faked his death?
Xie You pondered for a while, he really couldn't figure it out, but he figured out why Yuan Ke wanted to save him.
Yuan Ke saved him, but he just wanted to know the news of the little county lord. What he can be sure of at present is that Yuan Ke knew that the little county lord was faked, so he asked her if she was okay, what else did Yuan Ke know, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
The forcibly calm eyes, according to the unbearable affection, clearly showed that in front of him, this person was the same as himself, and he was also trapped in a relationship and couldn't extricate himself.
He suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of sympathy in his heart.
Yuan Kegui is a king, so what? It's not that I can't ask for or love like myself.
Seeing that Xie Youyi was silent, Yuan Ke put down the cup in his hand that had been rubbing for a long time, "Xie Youyi, I'm asking you, is the princess okay?" ”
Xie Youyi knew that he couldn't avoid this question, so he had to answer, "Everything is fine." ”
Since he was stationed in Dingzhou, he knew little about the news in the capital, and he could only know one piece of information about the little county lord, Xie Zhaorong was quite favored.
Hearing Xie Youyi's answer, Yuan Ke breathed a sigh of relief invisibly, paused, and said coldly, "Xiao Yue is rude." I wanted to go on a large-scale southern expedition to welcome the princess in person, but the disaster situation in the six states was urgent. When the disaster situation is stable, I will go to welcome the princess in person. ”
Xie Youyi was even more shocked when he said this.
It turned out that Yuan Ke knew everything.
This should have been a very embarrassing topic, Yuan Ke not only took the initiative to mention it, but also said it frankly.
Xiao Yue was rude, which means that Yuan Ke already knew that the little county lord had entered the palace as a concubine, and he made a big southern expedition to welcome the princess? Yuan Ke hurried back from Shengjing, and gathered 400,000 people to go south within half a month. When he arrived in Yunzhou, it was estimated that Yuan Ke knew that the disaster was so serious, and he had to reconsider and adjust his strategic planning.
When the disaster situation is stable, go to greet the princess in person and go to Gangneung to welcome you? Does this mean that he is going to continue the Southern Expedition?
No wonder Yuan Ke suddenly ordered to kill all the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty, it turned out that there was nowhere to vent his anger.
Xie You couldn't help sighing, there must be a cause for the effect, it turns out that the cause is here. It is natural for a man to die on the battlefield, and it is too embarrassing for hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Southern Dynasty to die like this.
Should he hate Yuan Ke or should he hate the person who sat high in the Chengtian Temple?
Who is called a woman who is weak? With a smile and a smile, he is still an enemy of a million soldiers.
Xie You swallowed his dry and sore throat, and slowly spoke, "Your Majesty's Southern Expedition is understandable. If it's a woman, it's too childish. Xie said something that should not be said, please consider it carefully, put state affairs first, and all the people in the world first. ”
When Yuan Ke heard this, his fingertips lit up the table lightly, and fell into deep thought, as if he was really thinking about Xie Youyi's words.
Xie Youyi is a few years older than Yuan Ke, and this tone is a bit like his usual tone of scolding the third brother.
After a while, Yuan Ke said, "I am building a new capital north of Yunzhou. The princess is a native of the Southern Dynasties, and after coming to the north, she can't help but think about her hometown. General Xie grew up in Jiangling since he was a child, and you must know the terroir of Jiangling. Just right, for my staff officer. ”
Xie Youyi's current mood can no longer be expressed with surprise, Yuan Ke is determined to get the little county lord, and he is trying his best to think about the little county lord, and even the new capital wants to build according to the scenery of the little county lord's hometown.
The little county lord is a concubine, and Yuan Ke is still like this, this piece of affection really surprised him.
I have heard that the Northern Dynasty is open, and it is not as conservative as the Southern Dynasty, but it seems that this is really the case. When he thought so, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, as if he were blaspheming some unspeakable feelings.
Yuan Ke wants to raise troops again, Xie Youyi can't help but feel a little anxious, worried, this year's war, the Northern Dynasty lost six states, at least 100,000 soldiers, the Southern Dynasty lost two states, at least 200,000 soldiers, it is really a defeat for both sides, and it will be fought again next year, just for a woman, so that thousands of people will be displaced, and he categorically cannot accept this reason for war.
He has been in the army since he was 15 years old, and he knows very well that if the army does not move, it will involve all aspects of the country, and even if it is victorious, it will take several years to restore the people's livelihood, let alone defeat in the war, which will greatly damage the vitality of a country and make it politically unstable.
Yuan Ke said that he was so confident, that is, he was ready to fight.
Fighting, moving the capital, and the Southern Expedition were all enough to bring down Yuan Ke's regime.
For a woman? Is it worth it? He really wanted to ask the young king in front of him who was contemplating.
How can this unnecessary war be avoided?
On the surface, this war was caused by the bursting of the embankment of Dingjiangyan, but in fact, it was inextricably linked with a woman, and the saint was unwilling to let go, so he ordered the construction of Dingjiangyan. Yuan Ke was unwilling to let go, so he raised his troops to the south.
Now that the situation has turned, Yuan Ke has become the party that wants to take the initiative to attack, how can he stop it?
The easiest way is to let the little county lord and his relatives become infatuated with Yuanke.
Is the Holy One willing? Xie You thought about it, shook his head and smiled bitterly. Since the saint dared to fake the death of the county lord, dared to flood the Northern Dynasty, and dared to go his own way under the strict national conditions of the Southern Dynasty, he was ready not to let go.
And pro, that's a slap in the face.
His favorite concubine was forced to be close to the Northern Dynasty, and any king felt that his face was gloomy.
The Holy One weighs the pros and cons, but he is by no means a person who swallows his anger.
Taking a step back, even if the saint is willing to let go of the little county lord and his relatives, is Yuan Ke willing to accept this lost and regained sweetheart? I am afraid that at that time, he will only go on a large-scale southern expedition under the banner of insulting our country.
By that time, it doesn't matter if you are in harmony or not.
Thinking of this, he said, "Your Majesty, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have clutches, and it is always difficult to be consummated. Unsatisfactory things are often eight or nine, how many people in the world have no fate, why should Your Majesty be persistent? ”
Yuan Ke smiled in surprise when he heard this, "General Xie is too frustrating to say this. Since I have a relationship with the princess, how can I have no part? It's just an excuse for stupid people to be smart. If I follow Xiao Yue, swallow this breath, and no longer love the princess, then there is no fate. ”
Xie You thought about it for a while, but felt that what Yuan Ke said made some sense, and he couldn't get it, so he persuaded Yuan Ke to open it too, but Yuan Ke wanted to open it, and he didn't even care that the little county lord was a palace concubine. As long as he works hard, there is always a chance to get the little county lord.
Which is like yourself, if you don't work hard, you can only press your love deep into your heart.
In this way, Yuan Ke is more affectionate than he imagined.
Xie Youyi groaned, "How can Your Majesty be so sure that the little county lord is willing to come to the Northern Dynasty?" ”
What he meant was that the little county lord might not care about you, and even if you force it, it would be useless.
Yuan Ke understood the meaning of Xie Youyi's words, he rubbed the celadon cup, and smiled faintly, "The princess copied a book of poetry for me. You say, "Is the princess willing?" ”
When Xie You heard this, he was like being bombarded by five thunderbolts. How could he not have thought that the little county lord would like Yuan Ke? When she entered the palace as a concubine, he just felt stunned, but when he learned that her heart belonged, he only felt sad.
Seeing Xie Youyi's face full of astonishment and surprise, Yuan Ke was stunned, got up and prepared to leave, "Give you ten days to recover, and after ten days, go to Xindu with me." ”
Xie Youyi said coldly, "Forgive me." ”
Yuan Ke stopped, "You say it again?" ”
