Chapter 111: Above the Great Hall
In the enclosure, in the hall where the emperor was resting, there were all the ministers of the court who were present, and they all looked depressed.
In the palace, Yu Wenqiao bowed down to Emperor Jin and asked: "Father, the enclosure is surrounded by enemies on all sides, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the third brother to lead the army on all sides, so it is better to send his sons to the north to garrison to share the pressure of the third brother." ”
Seeing that the emperor looked depressed and was silent for a long time, Feng Dao also stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness King Qi said is not unreasonable, although King Xuan is good at leading troops, but now he is the only one who can lead the army around him, and he is always besieged by all directions." Feng Dao stopped here, glanced at Yu Wenqiao again, and continued: "However, His Royal Highness King Qi is the prince, if there is anything missing......
Emperor Jin took down the hand supporting his forehead and slapped it on the arm of the chair hard, Long Yan moved slightly, and said to Feng Dao in an angry tone: "You are talking about this car, do you mean to tell him to go or not to ask him to go?" ”
Feng Dao immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty, what the minister means is that His Royal Highness King Qi, as the prince, is still not afraid of his own safety, and he invites himself to lead the army to battle, which is really rare." ”
Standing outside the hall gate and watching the lively Zhu Xuan, he sneered. King Xuan said that Emperor Jin asked him to talk about marriage, but he asked him to come over to see this good show. It seems that the current situation in the Jin Kingdom is in turmoil, and the marriage must be carried out as soon as possible, otherwise I don't know when the throne of the Jin Kingdom will be different, I am afraid that my plan will be ruined.
Emperor Jin rolled his eyes at Feng Dao, shook his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Since you ......" Before the words fell, Yu Wenhua's rich voice came from outside the hall: "Don't bother the fourth brother, the fourth brother is a noble prince, and such a thing as leading the army to resist the enemy should be handed over to the third brother to do." ”
Everyone in the hall heard the sound and looked towards the door of the hall, Yu Wenhua was holding a black cloth bag, his figure was awe-inspiring, and he walked into the hall with a strong wind in his steps.
Until Yu Wenhua walked to the hall, the entire hall was silent, he stopped, saluted Emperor Jin, and said: "Erchen has cleared the rebels, please feel at ease." ”
Feng Dao, who was standing on the side, was closest to Yu Wenhua, tremblingly pointed to the black cloth in Yu Wenhua's hand, and asked in a terrifying voice: "Is this...... What is it? ”
When everyone heard this, they all noticed what Yu Wenhua was carrying, it was a black mess, and there seemed to be some liquid dripping.
Emperor Jin also leaned forward, his old age and poor eyesight, squinted his eyes, and asked, "Hua'er, what are you holding in your hand?" ”
Yu Wenhua had no superfluous expression on his face, and threw the black cloth in his hand at his feet.
The object in the black cloth hit the ground and rolled down a few times, exposing everyone to a bloody human head, and in an instant a bloody aura spread, and the civil officials who had never seen a murderer covered their mouths tightly, this sight was extremely cruel to them.
Feng Dao pointed to the human head on the ground and said loudly to Yu Wenhua: "How can King Xuan bring the human head to the main hall!" That's disrespectful! ”
Yu Wenhua's eyes were faint and he didn't put Feng Dao in his eyes, and said to Emperor Jin: "This is the head of the rebel, and the retainer brought it back to show the officials what kind of bloody rebellion it would be under the nose of the emperor."
End! ”
Yu Wenhua's words were plain, but in the ears of the people present, it was as cold as piercing ice, this person was surrounded by murderous aura, cold and lofty, showing the spirit of the king, although he was a general who surrendered to the enemy from his own army, it still made his family fearful, even Emperor Jin who was sitting above was a cold wind blowing in his heart, how could he not make people feel terrible.
After saying a word, Yu Wenhua looked around, no one dared to speak again, Emperor Jin, who was sitting above, was still frowning, glanced at the almost unrecognizable head on the ground, and asked, "Is it Xie Qin's head?" ”
"Exactly." Yu Wenhua replied.
Yu Wenhua presented the talisman with both hands, knelt on his knees, and raised it high above his head, "Erchen has punished the anti-thief, there are a total of 20,000 anti-soldiers, most of them were deceived by Xie Qin, thinking that they came to rescue the driver and kept it in the dark, and Erchen has been detained." Now return the talisman to the father, and the 20,000 counter-soldiers will be disposed of by the father. ”
The emperor replied softly, as if he was thinking about something, and was silent for a while.
Yu Wenqiao glanced up at Feng Dao, and the two of them met their eyes, and they both understood in their hearts that this was a contest between the emperor and King Xuan.
Since King Xuan led the army to solve the rebellion in the north, he returned to Qiongdu City and was confiscated by the emperor with all the military power in his hands. He was not allowed to go to the south to manage the Hengchong Capital, although the military power of the Hengchong Capital was still in the hands of King Xuan, but the power in the hands of King Xuan was weakened by the emperor little by little. Today's false alarm is undoubtedly King Xuan's wake-up call to Emperor Jin, he is warning the emperor that even if he is a threat, but without him, the country may be replaced by any unseen force at any time.
Emperor Jin is already old, and even if he has the courage of his youth, he no longer has the body of his youth to support him. This country is in his hands to fight and guard, and now it has expanded to twice as much as the time of the first emperor, and the threat to himself from the three northern kingdoms is no longer a climate, only the southern border is a headache for him in the second half of his life. In these years, the Taiping in the south has relied on the rampage, and he knows that if he is the emperor one day, he will not dare to have a different heart, but he will return one day and hand over the country to Yuwen Xuan, although Yuwen Xuan is good at scheming, he has also made a lot of ministers in the city, and he has seen all this. But Emperor Jin knew in his heart that in this era of war was the world of military power, Yu Wenqiao had never been on the battlefield, and there were not many old ministers around him who could stay to assist, and each had their own selfishness, so how could Emperor Jin rest assured? The rampage will be the biggest hidden danger for the next king of the Jin Kingdom, and now Mo said that he wants to hold the rampage in his hands, and even the Jin Emperor has been frequently demonstrated by King Xuan.
If the 300,000 horses brought by King Yu to pacify the Sixteen Kingdoms can be returned safely, Emperor Jin is still sure to empty the military power in the hands of King Xuan, and stabilize the current situation of the Jin Kingdom before returning to heaven, and hand it over to Yuwen Miao with confidence. But at the wrong time, at this time, King Yu went against himself, and the soldiers and horses who went out with 300,000 soldiers and horses were delayed, and he already knew in his heart that the 300,000 people in his hands would return to Beijing to attack the city in a few days, and the only person in the city who could be used to fight against it was King Xuan, who was suppressing in his hands.
Yu Wenhua though
It is not born to Emperor Jin, but it is the one he is most optimistic about. This child seems to have been born with the fate of competing for hegemony, and everywhere he goes is like a steel knife and a sharp sword, and he looks at it and makes the enemy fearful.
With such an arrogant and lonely temperament as Yu Wenhua, will he be willing to surrender to Yu Wenxuan's feet? Emperor Jin didn't dare to think in his heart that the existence of King Xuan was not only a sword of the Jin Kingdom, but also a murder weapon that might be cut by his throat.
Emperor Jin took it from the dragon chair, his pace was steady, he slowly came to the front, personally helped him up, he held the talisman in his hand, "Hua'er, you are the god of war on the battlefield, guarding the land for my Jin country, you should be trusted." ”
Emperor Jin put the talisman in his hand back into Yu Wenhua's hand, smiled with a wrinkled face, and gently patted Yu Wenhua's shoulder, "During the time you are in Qiongdu City, the troops in Qiongdu City will be deployed by you for the time being." ”
Yu Wen Miao and Feng Dao looked at each other, both with heavy faces, and the hundred officials waited quietly in the hall, no one questioned this matter, everyone knew that this Qiongdu City was about to usher in a turmoil, and when the 300,000 army attacked the city, the people in the hall would count on King Xuan to lead troops to resist.
Yu Wenhua held the talisman in his hand, his eyes were extremely cold, he knew that this kind of trust would never be unconditional. Still trying to show a smile on his face, "Father Xie's trust in his son." ”
Outside the palace gate, Zhu Xuan admired King Xuan's ability to the extreme. Before Zhu Xuan was called, Yu Wenhua appeared in the back mountain, indicating that Yu Wenhua knew in advance that Xie Qin was going to rebel, so all the military forces had been arranged in advance, even if King Xuan did not personally lead the troops, King Xuan's men still had the ability to quell the rebellion of 20,000 people in an hour. If he can have the strategic talent of King Xuan, why did he end up like this.
The ministers dispersed, and the ladies in the enclosure were still throwing pots and playing in the field, not realizing that a rebellion had been put down by the court in an hour, and that a fight was taking place less than ten miles away from them.
Feng Tingxin had already changed out of the azure silver silk shirt, wearing a pale pink Confucian skirt, and a beige half-covered gown, like a budding peach blossom.
After two thrilling accidents, Feng Qianxin's heart had not calmed down, and he was restless beside Mrs. Feng, looking left and right, as if he was looking for something, and as if he was waiting for something.
Yu Wenhua, who had just come out of the hall, was looking at the path in the forest behind him, but he heard Zhu Xuan who suddenly appeared next to him say, "She is no longer there." ”
"What did you say?" Yu Wenhua didn't hear Zhu Xuan's words clearly, and asked seriously.
Zhu Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his chin towards the pitching field, looked at the two figures on the field, and said, "They are there." ”
Yuwen Huafang knew what he was talking about just now, and walked towards the two people on the field.
Zhu Xuan followed closely behind Yu Wenhua, the two of them walked slowly, not walking fast, Zhu Xuan walked side by side beside him, very close and said, "You like her too?" ”
"Who?" Yu Wenhua's tone was flat.
"You know who I'm talking about." Zhu Xuan glanced at him, and then looked at the other
Yu Wenxuan, who had just come out of the hall, said, "It's a pity that there is already someone in her heart." I know that she has been pretending to be stupid to reject me for that talent, she is so smart and knows everything in her heart, but I am not reconciled, so I always want to keep trying. ”
Yu Wenhua glanced at Yu Wenqiao in the direction Zhu Xuan was looking at, then looked straight ahead, looked at the happy girl in front of him, smiled lightly, and did not speak.
Zhu Xuan also turned his head to look ahead, and continued: "At the beginning, she would rather go to King Qi's Mansion to be a wolf maid for him, maybe she was hit by something, begging me to take her out, she cried so sadly that night." ”
Yu Wenhua stopped, looked at Zhu Xuan with cold eyes, and said lightly: "What are you telling me about this?" ”
Zhu Xuan also looked at him with the same gaze, and said seriously: "I like her, but I can't make her forget him, I know that person is not her lover after all, if you can make her forget that person, please treat her well." ”
