Chapter Fifty-Eight: Hook and Fight
Chapter 58: Hooks
Tuoba Yu and Tuoba Han looked at Tuoba who was in full grace, and their hearts were sad, and they were updated the fastest
Tuoba Han was even more resentful of Tuoba Han, who had wanted to use the notoriety of the polar wolf to scandalize Tuoba's image in front of the emperor.
Unexpectedly, Tuoba rebelled against his own army, and shot the female slave girl in the hunting field, and he participated in his book in front of the emperor.
The emperor felt that he was cruel and unkind, and he still has no good face for himself.
He not only lost the favor of the emperor, but also lost the opportunity to play beauty hunting again.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the king of Dongping, Tuoba Han, went to the palace of the king of Nan'an, and saw the singing and dancing in the palace of the king of Nan'an, and the wine was mellow.
"Why did the third imperial brother come, and he didn't notify the imperial brother in advance, so that the imperial brother could be ready to welcome the imperial brother." Tuoba Yu's grim face was respectful and humble.
Greet Tuoba Han into his seat, and order people to serve wine and dance music.
"The third emperor brother just passed by, and when he heard the sound of the royal brother's mansion, he came in to have a look." Tuoba Han said casually.
He took the chilled grape wine, tasted it, and praised it:
"Good wine! The wine from this foreign region is chilled, and it is indeed more mellow in the mouth. ”
"The imperial brother is not like the third imperial brother and his son, Top Gun. The emperor's younger brother only knows how to raise flowers and sing and dance on weekdays. Tuoba Yu tasted the wine.
"Eighth Emperor Brother, this is leisurely." Tuoba Han grinned.
Tuoba Yu sighed softly: "My father wants this king to supervise the household department, which has already caused the imperial brother a headache, and now with the addition of the Ministry of Industry, it really makes the imperial brother so busy that he can't breathe." ”
Tuoba Yu smiled bitterly and raised his glass to Tuoba Han.
Tuoba Han also saluted back, and the two of them drank the wine in their glasses.
"My father valued the Eighth Emperor's younger brother, so he entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.
The Eighth Emperor Brother can't be lazy, but he has to work harder and catch up.
Look at our little nephew, the limelight has overshadowed our imperial uncles. Tuoba Han looked at Tuoba Yu's face and said.
Tuoba Yu bowed his head: "At a young age, he became the commander of the three armies, the Flying Eagle General, with heavy troops in his hands, that is the real hegemony!" ”
"That's it, we, the imperial uncles, if we don't work hard, we will really be overtaken by the Flying Eagle General." Tuoba Han was not carefree and provocative.
"The words of the three emperor brothers are wrong, although the son said that he has been fighting with his father in the south and the north since he was a child, if he talks about his military exploits, how can he compare with the three emperor brothers' great military exploits." Tuoba Yu comforted again.
"That's it! The wounds on this king's body are innumerable. Tuoba Han pursed his mouth and patted the battle wound on his body.
"Father, the emperor saw that the crown prince and the royal brother were gone, and the son was pitiful, so he rewarded him with a flying eagle general and let him play with the military talisman for a few days.
After a while, when the soldier talisman is tired of playing with the child, the father will still take it back and hand it over to you, the respected third emperor brother, for safekeeping. Tuoba Yu said again.
"Really?" Hope reignited in Tuobahan's eyes.
Tuoba Yu bowed slightly, and he also had something to say:
"Besides, the son is a junior, since the crown prince and brother left, the third emperor brother is the eldest of our generation.
No matter how young and vigorous you are, you should know to respect your elders. ”
"The Eighth Emperor Brother also thinks that he should respect this king?" Tuoba Han asked, raising an eyebrow.
"The seniority is there, and I don't respect the imperial uncle!" Tuoba Yu's tone was awe-inspiring.
Tuoba Han's teeth are slightly tightened:
"But as soon as my son came back, he provoked his father and punished the king heavily!"
Tuoba Yu Road:
"As a nephew, it is a matter of course to respect the imperial uncle.
Among the princes of the father, after the death of the crown prince and the royal brother, we are the only three emperor brothers.
Although he is brave and good at fighting, after all, he is young and has little experience.
To stabilize the country and the country, you have to be like the Three Emperor Brothers, who can strategize and win thousands of miles. ”
Tuoba Yu's originally cold face was more flattering, and his eyebrows seemed to have a smile.
"Behind the Eighth Emperor Brother is the eldest uncle, Hubu Shangshu Lu Wang, and the younger uncle, the chariot general, Lu Ling.
The prestige of the Lu family is growing, and the Eighth Emperor Brother should have the ambition of a great bird, how can he still support the Third Emperor Brother? Dongping King Tuoba Han said suspiciously.
"Hey, since ancient times, the young and the young have been orderly, how dare you go beyond the emperor's younger brother, you naturally have to respect your brother." Tuoba Yu said modestly.
Tuoba Han was overjoyed: "In this way, does the Eighth Emperor Brother really support this king?" ”
Tuoba Yu raised his glass: "That's natural, no matter when, the Eighth Emperor Brother and the Lu Family, only the Third Emperor Brother is the first to look forward." ”
"Good! has eight emperor brothers, and with the help of the Lu family, it is better than 100,000 male soldiers. Tuoba Han said happily.
Tuoba Han raised his glass to Tuoba Yu proudly, as if he had formed an alliance:
"If the third emperor brother can take charge of the world, he will not treat the eighth emperor brother badly, and we two brothers will share this splendid country."
Tuoba Yu drank the wine in the glass, and said with a slightly drunk smile:
"The three emperor brothers just need to satisfy the royal brother's wine, singing and dancing, and then give a piece of fertile soil, so that the eighth emperor brother can raise flowers well, and the eighth emperor brother's wish is enough."
"Haha......" Tuoba Han shook his head and laughed again, "I have heard that the Eighth Emperor Brother is greedy for wine and glasses, and likes flowers and butterflies, but I didn't expect to be more obsessed than this king imagined." ”
"Life is only a few decades, fleeting. As the so-called life is proud and happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. Tuoba Yu savored the wine.
"Wine-colored, a good thing indeed!" Tuoba Han laughed.
"No matter how good the wine here is, how can it be as good as the wine pond meat forest of the third emperor brother?" Tuoba Yu said slightly drunk.
Shaking the flask, seeing that there was no wine, he immediately shouted: "Get the wine!" ”
His attendant Ma Yun personally took the wine and poured it for the king of Nan'an.
Tuoba Yu got up and personally poured wine for the king of Dongping.
"Brother Sanhuang, drink!"
Tuoba Yu raised his glass to Tuoba Han again, then looked at the singer in front of him, and drank one cup after another.
"Good...... Drink! Tuoba Han dried up.
Tuoba Han looked at the Eighth Emperor Brother who was intoxicated with wine, and seemed to let down his guard:
"When will I invite the Eighth Emperor Brother to the Three Emperor Brothers' Wine Pond Meat Forest to see the new things of the Three Emperor Brothers?"
“…… Brother Sanhuang, this, it will be exempted. As soon as Tuoba Yu heard that he was going to Tuoba Han's wine pond and meat forest, he wanted to vomit.
"What's the matter, the Eighth Emperor Brother looks down on the Imperial Brother's ** Palace?" Tuoba Han tilted his head and looked at Tuoba Yudao with a feigned displeasure.
"It's not that the Third Emperor Brother doesn't know, you, the Eighth Emperor Brother, have always had a habit of cleanliness, and the Third Emperor Brother is a wine pond and meat forest, I'm afraid that the Imperial Brother will be blessed." Tuoba Yu Road.
"Such a happy and exciting thing, the royal brother can't be blessed." Tuoba Han shook his head and smiled, "It seems that the Eighth Emperor Brother's cleanliness disease really needs to be cured!" ”
Tuoba Yu nodded slightly, noncommittally:
"The wine pond meat forest of the Three Emperor Brothers, it is really not something that ordinary people can enjoy."
Tuoba Han smiled again:
"I want to think that the wine pond meat forest in Xia Ji back then, wide enough to carry a boat, accommodate 3,000 people, and play in the wine pool, that is really the greatest enjoyment of life.
The small wine pond meat forest of the Three Emperor Brothers, compared with Ji Xuanzhi, is really a small thing. ”
Tuoba Yu also smiled, his smile was a silent smile, and he didn't smile at his skin.
"Although the scale can't compare to the extravagance of that rug, now in Pingcheng, who else has this luxury, the three emperor brothers have to enjoy it."
Tuoba Han drank wine in Nan'an Wangfu for a long time before he said goodbye satisfied.
"Okay, the Third Emperor Brother won't bother the Eighth Emperor Brother anymore." Seeing that what he had to say was almost done, Tuoba Han got up and took his leave.
The person who stands in front of him now is Tuoba, who is the most important opponent.
He has to do whatever it takes to suppress Tuoba in order to stand at the peak of power.
Of course, Tuoba Yu does not seem to have a struggle for power on the surface, and his strength is so strong, how can he be willing to support himself.
If Tuoba Yu thinks that he Tuoba Han is a three-year-old child, then he really underestimates him Tuoba Han.
Tuoba Yu looked at Tuoba Han's departing back, and a faint sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Gently waving his hand to the song and dance in front of him, Ma Yun asked everyone to retreat.
"His Royal Highness has been keeping his head in obscurity, it seems that King Dongping really thinks that His Royal Highness is a good wine greedy cup, and only knows how to raise flowers and butterflies." Jack Ma's restrained smile.
"If this is the case, it will be very good, and it will make him think that this king is a drunkard."
Tuoba Yu's cold face could hardly show any expression.
After a pause, he added:
"But do you think Tuoba Han would be so stupid?"
"No matter what, let him compete with the Gaoyang King Sandpiper and the Mussel, and His Highness will sit back and wait for the benefit of the fisherman for the time being." Ma Yundao.
Tuoba Yu's face was cloudy and uncertain.
And Liu Jun, the emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty, was also above the court, discussing with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs how to deal with the evil wolves of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Emperor Liu Jun said to Yin Xiaozu, the general of Zhenbei:
"General Zhenbei, let's talk about your plan, we lost the city and suffered a defeat, how to turn the situation around and pull out the fangs of those evil wolves in the Northern Wei Dynasty!"
Yin Xiaozu arched his hand and said:
"Your Majesty, Tuoba Tao was brave and good at fighting when he was young, and he was unstoppable.
Now, after all, the hero is in the twilight, fighting on the battlefield, and he is powerless.
It's just that his grandson Tuoba is better than the blue, and he has the blood of a wolf.
is not only the eldest grandson of the emperor, but now he is also crowned as the general of the flying eagle.
Although our Great Song Dynasty has the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, if we don't remove this person, my Great Song Dynasty is in danger! ”
General Zhenyuan Bu Tiansheng squinted at General Zhenbei and said with a dry smile:
"General Zhenbei is so jealous of Tuoba, is it because of his beloved concubine empathy, stealing the defense map and offering Tuoba.
So that the Tuoba soldiers were bloodless, and they got a good city in my Great Song Dynasty that was easy to defend and difficult to attack? ”
Yin Xiaozu and Bu Tiansheng were both two generals of Liu and Song.
Yin Xiaozu has the support of the emperor's favorite concubine Yin Guifei and his sister, so even if he loses the city, the emperor has no heavy responsibility.
And Bu Tiansheng is the nephew of Empress Mu and the general relied on by the emperor, and he is also used to balance Yin Xiaozu.
Therefore, Bu Tiansheng made a sneering remark about Yin Xiaozu, and Emperor Liu Jun also opened his eyes and closed his eyes, but he didn't hear it.
This is the emperor's trade-off.
"Bu Tiansheng, you dare to insult General Ben?!" Yin Xiaozu glared at Bu Tiansheng fiercely.
"Insult, isn't that true?" Bu Tiansheng snorted coldly without giving in.
was betrayed by his beloved concubine and lost the most important Xuyi, which is a big thorn in Yin Xiaozu's heart.
Seeing that the emperor did not stop him, he immediately said to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, Yin Xiaozu swears here, he must be a blade, and I will be ashamed of losing the city with snow!"
"I'm afraid, it's Xue herself who was cuckolded and became a shame for the turtle king, right?" A lazy voice, not without sarcasm.
It turned out to be Emperor Liu Jun's attendant, Mei Zhengfang, who had always been attached to Empress Mu.
"Mei Zhengfang, you dare to insult General Ben as soon as you are a regular attendant?" Yin Xiaozu said angrily.
"Alright, alright! Revealing people does not expose shortcomings, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and the lost city will be recaptured in the future. ”
Liu Jun turned his head and glanced at Mei Zhengfang, although he stopped talking, he was not too harsh.
The emperor lost the city, although he did not punish Yin Xiaozu, but he was really unhappy in his heart!
Mei Zhengfang's words are also in his heart.
But after all, Mei Zhengfang is an attendant, so it is really inappropriate to ridicule the general like this.
"General, please forgive the subordinate for his misspeech just now." Mei Zhengfang hurriedly apologized to Yin Xiaozu.
Yin Xiaozu disdained Mei Zhengfang, but knelt down to thank the emperor.
"Your Majesty Xie is magnanimous!" Yin Xiaozu hugged his fists and said, "Weichen must put on his liver and gall, overcome thorns and thorns, and repay His Majesty's kindness!" ”
"According to General Yin, Tuoba is really not to be underestimated." Liu Jun said coldly.
Yin Xiaozu bowed slightly.
Liu Jun said again:
"If it can be assassinated, Dawei will be like a tiger without its claws and an eagle without wings.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, even if Tuoba is brave, it is difficult to defeat the killer who does not want to die, right? ”
"But Your Majesty, I heard that General Zhenbei joined forces with the traitors of the Wei army and set up a heavy ambush on the way back to Pingcheng in Tuoba, but still let Tuoba escape back to Pingcheng unharmed.
Our Zhenbei general returned with a feather, and he didn't even hurt a single Tuoba hair. Bu Tiansheng said with a slight disdain.
not only disdained Yin Xiaozu's indiscriminate methods, but also turned a blind eye to the fact that he could not catch Tuoba with so many killers.
"Forgive him for being lucky, he is a nine-life cat, and this time he will not escape the next series of poisoning." Yin Xiaozu said fiercely.
"It's just a pity for the frightening, young and handsome Gaoyang Wang Yipin Flying Eagle General.
He may not know that he has already become the general of the town of Smashing the North, the fat on the board, right? "Mei Zhengfang, a regular attendant, is not yin or yang.
Liu Jun tilted his neck slightly towards Mei Zhengfang, and then snorted coldly:
"There are eggs under the nest, and if you don't remove Tuoba, my Song Dynasty will not be at peace.
Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and it is only because Tuoba is too sharp that he will follow in the footsteps of his father, the crown prince! ”
"No, Your Majesty is wise, and what you say is extremely true." Mei Zhengfang hurriedly flattered.
Liu Jun gritted his teeth again and said:
"What a vicious polar wolf, I want him to become a lost dog this time!"
Yin Xiaozu arched his hand again:
"Tuoba is Tuoba Tao's heart and soul baby, as soon as this person is removed, Tuoba Tao will be heartbroken.
Another bloody battle for imperial power in the Northern Wei Imperial Palace was bound to cause civil strife.
The Northern Wei Dynasty, which can be called an impregnable wall, will also fall apart.
And we can unite with Rouran, attack the north and south, and divide the Northern Wei Dynasty.
At that time, there were only other species left in the Rouran wilderness, how could it be my Great Song Dynasty opponent! ”
"If this is the case, it will be a blessing for the people of the world!" Liu Jun sighed.
At this time, Jiang He, the left prime minister of Yin Xiaozu's faction, came out and said:
"I heard that the 80th birthday of the ancestor of the Great Wei Dynasty is approaching.
Even if there was a dispute between the Great Song Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, in terms of etiquette, we still had to send envoys to send a congratulatory gift to the old ancestor.
I won't lose my face! ”
"Well, I am a great Song, etiquette cannot be abolished, and I can really afford to give congratulatory gifts!" Liu Jun said.
After a pause, he asked the ministers again: "Zhongqing's family, who is the right person to send to the Northern Wei Dynasty?" ”
Yin Xiaozu pondered for a moment, and arched his hand:
"That ancestor is the most noble woman in the Northern Wei Dynasty, in order to show sincerity, and to show the style of my great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that it is a person from the royal family to show respect."
Yin Xiaozu's sister Yin Guifei is Liu Jun's most favored concubine.
Empress Mu had two sons and three daughters, and Concubine Yin had five sons and two daughters, second only to the queen in the harem of Liu Song.
Yin Xiaozu's position as the general of Peking University in this town has always been standing.
Concubine Yin Guifei was bent on bringing down the queen, and even more wanted to ruin the prince, and she had long hoped that something unexpected would happen to the prince.
In order to make her prince a substitute, it is to let her brother agree to the matter of the envoy proposed by Prime Minister Zuo as soon as possible.
Prime Minister Zuo arched his hand again:
"Your Majesty, the crown prince has nothing to do in the harem, but he can be sent to the Northern Wei Dynasty.
As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, let him go out for a walk, and let him have more knowledge, which will be a good experience for the prince. ”
"No...... After all, the crown prince is the monarch of a country, how can he be sent to the Northern Wei Dynasty, which is like a wolf and a tiger.
In case I am detained, will my Great Song be controlled by others? Liu Jun shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty, the crown prince is on an envoy, and Weichen can send heavy troops to escort him.
Although the Northern Wei Dynasty was a country of tigers and wolves, it should not dare to detain the prince of the Great Song Dynasty at will, so as to be ashamed of the people of the world.
If the Northern Wei Dynasty has any disrespect for the prince, it will just give us a reason to attack him. "Yin Xiaozu has bad intentions.
"Rong Zhen will discuss this matter with the queen." The emperor still hesitated.
After retiring from the dynasty, the queen naturally strongly objected: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is the prince of a country, how can he go to the enemy country to make a risk, Your Majesty must not listen to the words of the villain!" ”
Emperor Liu Jun was promiscuous, with nearly thirty sons, dozens of daughters, one son less, only a piece of meat missing, or even a fart.
But the queen's two sons and one daughter are her sweethearts, how can she easily let the prince go into danger.
This Yin Xiaozu is really ill-intentioned!
At night, Concubine Yin blew the wind on the pillow next to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, a good man has ambitions in all directions.
You look at the Northern Wei Dynasty, from Tuoba Tao to his grandson Tuoba Tao, which is not the southern conquest and the northern war, there will be such a brave country of tigers and wolves.
The prince spends his days frolicking and playing games in the fat powder pile. No matter how well you play this chess, you can't win the city and you won't get the territory.
It should have been long since he followed the example of the Northern Wei Dynasty and let him go to the battlefield to experience and boost morale in order to boost the country's prestige.
The reason why our Great Song Dynasty was bullied by the Northern Wei Dynasty was because our royal children were closed and complacent, so they were thought that our Great Song Dynasty was weak and easy to bully. ”
"The prince is indeed the one who should go through the experience." The emperor bowed slightly.
Concubine Yin Guifei observed the words and saw that the emperor listened to them, and then said:
"I heard that the princess of Shanggu in the Northern Wei Dynasty is married this year.
People are also smart, dignified and generous.
Your Majesty asked the prince to marry the princess, and the two countries will marry, so that the people of our Great Song Dynasty can still live a peaceful and good life. ”
Liu Jun's face was overjoyed.
Yin Guifei looked aggrieved again:
"It's a pity that none of the five princes of the concubines are princes, so they are not qualified to marry other princesses. Otherwise, the concubine will let her emperor go. ”
"Well, that's a good idea! Or the concubine is far-sighted! Liu Jun nodded in agreement.
After a long while, he said:
"I can't bear the child to trap the wolf, this just asks to marry someone else's princess, Tuoba Tao's old man may not be willing to agree.
Our Da Song also has to marry a princess in the past, so that he can be sincere enough, and the old man can agree. ”
"Since you want to marry someone else's princess, Your Majesty also has to give a princess to change to someone else's princess." Yin Guifei said softly.
"Hmm......" Liu Jun bowed his head happily.
"Princess San'in has already passed the throne and is the most ideal candidate. That is, I don't know which prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty is suitable. Concubine Yin said with bad intentions.
Princess Shanyin was born to Queen Mu, the eldest princess of the Liu Song royal family, and Concubine Yin was naturally willing to marry her to the enemy country.
"Ai Concubine means Chu Yu?" Liu Jun asked.
Thinking about it for a moment, Liu Jun said:
"Let the prince go to the Northern Wei Dynasty first to see which prince is suitable.
Let Tuoba Tao think for himself, my eldest princess of the Great Song Hall, which prince can he deserve! ”
Liu Jun finally ignored Empress Mu's opposition and asked the crown prince to send an envoy to the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Seeing that the emperor had made up her mind, Empress Mu had only one request, that is, to ask Bu Tiansheng to bring 100,000 troops to escort him to protect the prince's safety.
Do not let Yin Xiaozu's people accompany him.
