Chapter 487: Back to Beijing
The incident happened suddenly, and no one expected such a thing. As soon as the sun set, Wan Bingyu, who was in a depressed mood, proposed to Heng Xinyuan to go for a walk on the street. Who knows, after walking around, they found that the people of Liangzhou City were talking about His Royal Highness the Prince's collaboration with the enemy and treason.
"Isn't that letter only the three of us have read His Royal Highness? How did the people know? Back in the house, Wan Bingyu couldn't help but open his mouth.
Heng Xinyuan naturally couldn't figure it out, so he could only shake his head helplessly. It is impossible to say that Li Wenyao deliberately walked out, he is not that kind of villain. But now it seems that the prince, who seems harmless to humans and animals on weekdays, can do things that collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, so it is also a little difficult to believe that Li Wenyao is also a little difficult.
"Looks like you already know!" At this time, Li Wenyao's voice came from the courtyard: "This matter is tried by the king to hide it as much as possible, even that letter was put in the most intimate place by me, if I guessed correctly, it should be the masterpiece of the third prince." ”
"But in this way, not only will it not help us in any way, but it will also make the emperor suspect that you have spread the news. After all, it has been so long and there has been no news that the emperor has punished the crown prince. After Heng Xinyuan finished speaking, his brows furrowed, and his right hand clenched his fist: "This third prince will really cause trouble!" ”
Wan Bingyu didn't speak, and sat down beside Heng Xinyuan gently.
"My father favored the crown prince, and everyone in Jiang Guo knew it. If this news comes out at this time, maybe my father can be more ruthless. After Li Wenyao finished speaking, he got up: "The two of you should rest early, and we will leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning." ”
"Wechen obeys."
As soon as Li Wenyao left, Tang Tang and Chen Yuan walked in from the outside one after the other. With a smile on his face, he knew at a glance that he was a little lover who had just been together. Seeing them smiling happily, Wan Bingyu was embarrassed to continue to keep a straight face: "We will go back to Beijing tomorrow, you go back and clean up well." ”
"Does Madame have anything on her mind? How do you think you're in a bad mood? "Although Tang Tang, this girl, is eccentric and heartless on weekdays, she is meticulous in observing people.
"Did you come back from the streets? What do you hear? Wan Bingyu lowered his eyes and asked.
Heng Xinyuan sat on the side, and also cast a puzzled look at the two.
When Tang Tang heard this, he was also a little confused: "I didn't hear anything......"
Wan Bingyu thought that this pair of people was afraid that they only had each other in their eyes now, and they couldn't see that other people were asking them in vain: "Forget it, hurry up and go back and pack your things." ”
However, the rumors spread like the flu. During the period when I returned to Beijing, I could hear all kinds of bad remarks about the prince everywhere I went. The real is true and false, and no one can tell the difference now. They can only pray that these rumors are just the after-dinner conversation of the neighbors, and that they will not spread to the capital.
Ten days later, the general and the prince approached the capital in the afternoon, and the people in the city cheered, waving their flags and shouting long live the prince and the general a thousand years old.
"Your Majesty, the people of the capital have already arrived on the street at this moment. His Royal Highness the Prince is now admired by thousands of people, which is even more unfavorable to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The prime minister was hunched over and expressionless.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair, also expressionless. But if he doesn't give Li Wenyao a good face at this time, and it spreads, the people may even have to remove himself, the emperor!
After thinking about it, the emperor got up and walked to the front of the Taiji Palace, and at this moment all the officials of the court were standing neatly in front of the Taiji Palace, waiting for the prince and the general to enter the palace.
Concubine Xiang and the queen stood on the emperor's left and right, compared to Concubine Xiang's delicateness, the queen looked a lot more generous.
However, at this moment, the emperor didn't have the appearance of caring about the two people around him, and looked at the city gate with a solemn face.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince, General Heng has won a great victory and returned to the dynasty!" As the eunuch's shrill voice fell, everyone saw Jiang Guo's banner come into view.
Heng Xinyuan and Li Wenyao walked side by side, followed by hundreds of lieutenant generals.
Walked to the front of the Taiji Hall and knelt on one knee: "Weichen knocks to see the emperor!" ”
The two of them said in unison: "Weichen has successfully resisted the enemy at the border pass, and he has come to restore his life!" ”
If there is no prince, the emperor may welcome the two with a smile. But now, even if he is happy, he just can't laugh, and can only make a slight arc at the corner of his mouth: "Okay!" ”
A moment later, inside the Tai Chi Hall.
The two knelt in the middle, waiting for the emperor's reward.
This time in Liangzhou City, although there were a lot of losses, but in the end it was won. If they lose, then the entire Jiang Kingdom will no longer exist, and this is enough for the two of them to be crowned knights!
Just when the people were waiting for the emperor to depose the crown prince Li Gaozhan and enshrine Li Wenyao as the crown prince, they saw that His Royal Highness the Prince and General Heng had already left the palace, and the emperor's reward was only 10,000 taels of silver and gold, 5 beauties, 1,000 silk drapes, and nothing else!
This will send the people who were originally in high spirits into the cold of winter in an instant!
After the two left the palace, they returned to the General's Mansion together, what real money is not important to them, and it is not uncommon to say that they have not thought about being crowned and knighted, but it is not expected that they are not now. The only thing that made them feel uncomfortable in their hearts was the beauty rewarded by the emperor, didn't they send their eyeliner to the mansion nakedly?
"It's all because of me, and I can't stand you two anymore." Li Wenyao said, with a look of self-reproach.
Although Wan Bingyu was in the mansion, she already knew everything about the affairs in the palace. The reason why Li Wenyao said this, she also knew clearly: "This matter has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Prince, not to mention that it is just a few beauties, which cannot affect the relationship between our husband and wife." However, the emperor did this, obviously to guard against His Royal Highness and the general......"
She also had no intention of provoking the relationship between the emperor and the prince, but this is the case, even Li Wenyao himself thinks so.
"This is something that this king did not expect. However, from the perspective of his father, this is expected. At present, the matter of the crown prince has not been resolved, and if the king is excessively rewarded at this time, it will definitely make the people in the city demand the crown prince more strongly. ”
After Li Wenyao finished speaking, he looked sideways at Heng Xinyuan: "At the moment, I can only fight the enemy and I will not move, if Li Gaozhan still does not repent and attacks me during this period, then I can't sit still." ”
In the end, he is still a brother, and Li Wenyao did this to give Li Gaozhan enough face. Don't say a word, I just hope that he can understand his good intentions.
"What His Highness said is very true, let's wait and see what happens on the prince's side." A few people decided to leave it alone for the time being, and before Li Wenyao left, Heng Xinyuan told him a few more words, telling him to be more careful in everything.
After seeing Li Wenyao leave, the two people in the courtyard sighed one after another: "If the prince is okay, we have already prepared." Now I'm afraid that the emperor will hit His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
