Chapter 295: Not Separated
Heng Xinyuan has something on her mind, at dinner in the evening, as the person closest to Heng Xinyuan, Wan Bingyu easily noticed this matter, she wrinkled her brows tightly, and kept thinking about what she encountered today that could make him unhappy, but after thinking for a while, she never thought of the possible reason, so she blamed the problem on the court that she couldn't get involved in.
Wan Bingyu asked tentatively: "Did the husband encounter something in the court today?" ”
Heng Xinyuan raised his eyes, and the corners of his lips hooked up a very faint smile: "I really can't hide anything from Mrs. ”
Wan Bingyu's heartbeat missed a beat because of his words, and her intuition told her that this thing that could make Heng Xinyuan unusual must be a big thing: "What happened?" ”
"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I may have to leave the capital for a while."
Isn't leaving the capital a big deal?
Thinking of the days when she was separated from him, Wan Bingyu felt uncomfortable in her heart, the two of them had not made up for the time when they parted, this is going to leave again, where can she stand it?
"Where is the husband going, when is he leaving, and when is he coming back?"
A series of questions showed Wan Bingyu's concern for him, and Heng Xinyuan's heart was really sweet and bitter.
"I'm going to Liangzhou City, madam, you know, Liangzhou City is not very peaceful now, yesterday there was an urgent report from Liangzhou City, saying that there were bandits in chaos, those defenders had no way to deal with bandits, they actually let bandits run rampant nearby, the people of Liangzhou City were miserable, Your Majesty thought twice, and decided to send me to Liangzhou City to suppress bandits."
"Why you?" Wan Bingyu was a little puzzled, "It's just to exterminate the mountain bandits, why send you, the general of soldiers and horses, out?" ”
"Mainly because I have a better understanding of the situation in Liangzhou City."
Wan Bingyu's quiet brows only felt that the words in his mouth were unreliable: "Even if you are right; Liangzhou City is familiar, it was more than a year ago, and there are new changes every day, not to mention that more than a year has passed? Now you have a similar situation to Liangzhou City to those Beijing officials, why don't you go? It's the same with sending other officials. ”
Heng Xinyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The holy decree has come down, where is the reason to take it back?" ”
In this way, Wan Bingyu had no reason to persuade even if he wanted to, so he could only frown and eat. Maybe it was because this incident really angered her, Wan Bingyu didn't talk to Heng Xinyuan again all night, she half-lowered her eyes and pondered, as if she was thinking about something.
The next morning, the emperor announced the matter in front of the ministers.
"I decided to let General Heng go to Liangzhou City to suppress the bandits."
It really made Lu Ming give the material!
The prince's eyes lit up, if it weren't for hiding his emotions, he would have laughed out loud in front of the courtiers: "Father Emperor Shengming!" ”
The emperor nodded with a complicated expression: "This is a long way to Liangzhou, and there are many bandits on the road, so I decided to select thirty people from the elite guards of the palace to escort Lord Heng to Liangzhou City." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped, and even the party Heng Xinyuan was stunned.
In the past, when officials took office, they generally took people to the place of appointment, and the emperor never personally appointed someone to escort him, which means that the emperor's attention to him is far greater than that of ordinary courtiers, and the prince's travel is almost this posture.
The crown prince was a little dissatisfied and said: "Father, is this not etiquette!" ”
The elite guards of the palace are different from the forbidden army outside, they are the personal soldiers under the emperor, all of them are strong in martial arts, if Heng Xinyuan is escorted by them, how can he attack Heng Xinyuan?
The crown prince wanted to prevent this from happening, but the emperor had no intention of listening to his advice.
"The mountain bandits in Liangzhou are so rampant, who can be sure that General Heng will not have any accidents on the road? General Heng is going to Liangzhou to do something for me, how can I not think about his safety, this matter is so decided, you don't need to persuade it. ”
Although the emperor said that it was you, his eyes fell on the prince, and it was obvious that this sentence was specifically addressed to the prince.
The meaning of the knock is already obvious!
Where did the prince dare to go against the emperor face to face, he was only able to use some small means secretly, and now when he heard the emperor beating himself, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he could only choose to retreat with a pale face.
It seems that the original plan has to be changed, otherwise the failure of assassinating Heng Xinyuan is a small matter, and it is a big matter if he is discovered!
"General Heng, how about you leave for Liangzhou tomorrow?" The emperor turned his head to look at Heng Xinyuan, "Now that the people of Liangzhou City are in dire straits, it is the time when the general needs to appear as soon as possible." ”
Heng Xinyuan knelt down on one knee and said, "The minister can set off today." ”
When he came to the court today, Heng Xinyuan asked the people in the house to pack their luggage, and the question was to leave as soon as possible.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The general is really interested in the people of Liangzhou City, so let's set off today, and I will order someone to dispatch personal guards now." ”
Above the court, the crown prince Li Gaozhan made suggestions on Heng Xinyuan's affairs three times and twice, and the hundred officials were all human spirits, how could they see what he meant? This is clearly the prince deliberately targeting Heng Xinyuan, the prince is the future monarch, even if Heng Xinyuan is the current emperor's confidant, the officials still dare not touch the prince's scales, and when Heng Xinyuan left the capital, only Li Wenyao came to see him off.
"Lord Li, it is inconvenient for them to come, so King Tuoben said goodbye to General Heng."
Where would Heng Xinyuan not understand what he meant?
Immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for coming to see you off." ”
Li Wenyao nodded, his eyes turned around for a while before he lowered his voice and said: "Those bandits can run rampant near Liangzhou City, and the defenders of Liangzhou City can't help them, which shows that there are some unknown strangeness, General Heng must pay special attention to it after he arrives in Liangzhou City, and he can't be negligent at all, so as not to get into the way of others." ”
"The minister understands, thank you for the reminder." He paused and said, "Actually, I also have a general understanding of the situation in Liangzhou City, and there is some speculation about who those thieves who are making trouble in Liangzhou City. ”
"If only you understood for yourself."
Li Wenyao said, his eyes turned around and around: "Hey, didn't Mrs. Wan come to see you off?" ”
Wan Bingyu's relationship with him is so good, it is impossible to be indifferent when encountering such a big event, right?
Heng Xinyuan thought of his wife, his eyes darkened, and he said: "I can't hide it, my wife quarreled with me last night, just because I was going to Liangzhou...... If I don't come to see him off today, I guess it's because I didn't get angry, so I can only wait until I return to the capital and explain it slowly. ”
After all, this errand to Liangzhou, Heng Xinyuan really can't shirk it.
"I don't think so, right?" Li Wenyao raised his eyebrows and looked behind him and said, "It's impossible for Mrs. Wan to be angry with you because of this matter. ”
