Chapter 405: Ambition
The news that General Yuan Guoyuan was arrested in the southeast Fengzhou Mansion soon spread to Yongjing, and as for the crime, it was the assassination of the royal family as Jin Nanshu said. Not to mention that Yun Shumo was present that day, even with Hua Qingyan's identity now, it can definitely be regarded as a royal clansman!
When the news was transmitted back to the capital, Yuan Guo's father, the veteran general, fainted on the spot in the court!
The veteran general is also the elder of the three dynasties of Daqi, because he has great military exploits and can be a man, so he also mixed well in Yongjing City after retiring. The veteran general had three sons, the eldest son followed the old general into battle to kill the enemy in the early years, but finally died at the hands of the enemy, and the second son was extremely tired of fighting and killing, so he chose to do business, do rice and grain business, and cooperate with the imperial court.
Yuan Guo is the youngest son of the old general, because he lost his eldest son and the second son could not inherit the mantle, so the old general loved this young son very much, and he also tried his best to teach carefully. The old general hopes that Yuan Guo can lead the Yuan family to another glorious peak!
But now, Yuan Guo actually assassinated the royal family! And that includes the Regent!
Who is the Regent? That's the most honorable person in the entire Daqi!
The new emperor was so angry that he directly threw the fold handed back by Jin Nanshu on the face of the old general, asking him if he knew what Yuan Guo had done, and even asked them if the Yuan family intended to rebel!
How could the Yuan family rebel! Their Yuan family has been loyal for generations, and they are even more loyal to Daqi and the royal family, how can they rebel!
The veteran general cried in the court, when Ren Yuanguo assassinated the royal family, it was a conclusive crime, so he did not defend Yuanguo, but this crime of rebellion, the veteran general absolutely did not admit it!
After all, the old general is already old, and the new emperor did not embarrass him even if he was angry, but just waved his hand and let him take his leave, so that he, and even the entire Yuan family, would not leave the Yuan Mansion before Yuan Guo was escorted back to Beijing, and before he was officially convicted, he even sent Yu Linwei to surround the Yuan Mansion up and down, and no one had to enter!
House arrest is already the greatest mercy of the new emperor.
At the same time, the matter of Yuan Guo also spread to the Northwest Border Pass, and Han Zhen actually burst into laughter after receiving the news, "I didn't expect this Yuan Guo to have such courage to assassinate Yun Shumo, I just thought about it and didn't dare to take action at all, but I didn't expect this Yuan Guo to do it." It's a pity that it didn't work out. ”
The adjutant general said: "General, I heard that Yuan Guo originally just wanted to kill Hua Qingyan, how did he become the assassination regent?" ”
Yun Shumo, no matter what the purpose is, he can't move without being completely sure, otherwise if he succeeds in counterattacking, then they will face terrible revenge from Yun Shumo and the royal family, as well as the army. Yun Shumo has been fighting for a long time to become a god, not only this prestige, but also his martial arts have made all those who are jealous of him jealous.
Han Zhen wanted military power, not that he didn't think about starting with Yun Shumo, but Yun Shumo's idea was too hard, and he couldn't gnaw at all, so he had to give up.
Han Zhen now admires Yuan Guo's courage and actually did what he wanted to do but didn't dare to do.
"Didn't Yun Shumo make friends with the Hua family, it must have gone wrong when he assassinated Hua Qingyan, and it was even more coincidental that Yun Shumo was also there," Han Zhen hooked the corners of his lips, "Yuan Guo is afraid that he thinks he has the ability, so he thinks that he will simply get rid of both of them together, and it will be a hundred." ”
"But ......," the adjutant general frowned, "this yuan has been arrested, so will our previous cooperation with him be exposed?" After all, since the regent has arrested him, then he will definitely be investigated, and at that time, we ......"
"Rest assured." Han Zhen patted the lieutenant general's shoulder, revealing a confident smile, "There are some things that I have already arranged, and we will definitely not be involved in Yuan Guo's affairs." ”
Han Zhen received the secret letter, walked out of the camp, and looked at the soldiers who were constantly training and patrolling in a neat line, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became brighter and brighter: "Now that I am the only general left in the northwest, I want to see how the new emperor plans to deal with the affairs of the northwest." ”
The adjutant general's face also showed joy, "Congratulations to the general." ”
"Huh? Still call me a general? Han Zhen squinted his eyes and looked at the deputy general with a smile.
The deputy general was stunned for a moment, and quickly changed his words: "No, no, no, it should be congratulations to the marshal!" Congratulations to the marshal, you will soon get what you want! ”
Only then did Han Zhen retract his gaze and nodded with satisfaction.
Han Zhen has longed for the position of generalissimo of the Great Qi soldiers and horses for a long time, but their Han family has also been loyal and good for generations, and countless children died in this land for the Great Qi, but whether it is Gaozu or Taizong, to the Emperor Taishang, no monarch is willing to hand over the position of generalissimo to the Han family!
Emperor Qiyuan was even more excessive, he actually handed over the position of marshal to a poor boy born in the countryside with an unknown origin, even if Hua Yaozong would fight, even if Hua Yaozong and Emperor Qiyuan were born and died together, so what? Where can a poor boy compare with their Han family, and where can he compare with those heroes of the Han family!
Han Zhen is unwilling! This unwillingness dominates him, making his ambitions and desires constantly boiling!
He felt that it was Hua Yaozong who was sorry for their Han family, and even more importantly, the Yun family who was sorry for their Han family!
If you push so, then let them pay!
Han Zhen planned a lot of things, and finally moved to Hua Yaozong, but he didn't expect that the position of marshal still didn't fall on his head, and the emperor would rather let this position be vacant than believe in their Han family once!
Han Zhen was eager to replace the Yun family, but he also knew that he couldn't do it, and he couldn't let the Han family become sinners through the ages.
Now it's okay, there is no Hua Yaozong in the entire border pass, and there is no Yuan Guo, only he Han Zhen is left, so his chance has come!
Han Zhen put his hands behind his back, looking at the yellow sand in the distance, he could already predict that the day when he received the holy decree was not far away.
"Yuan Guo?" Hua Qingyan handed the letter in her hand to her father, "Is this yuan a political enemy of your father?" ”
"When my father was the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, he was stationed at the border pass, and there were two generals under him at that time, one of them was Yuan Guo, and the other was Han Zhen, the maternal uncle of the second prince." Hua Qingying solved her sister's doubts, "This Yuan Guo looks like an honest person, but I didn't expect it to be so ruthless, not to mention killing Qingyan, but also cutting the grass and eradicating the roots." ”
Thinking of the two children who stayed in the backing village, a trace of gloom flashed in Hua Qingying's eyes, now that his family has become his backscale, whoever touches it will die!
However, Hua Qingying was also a little lucky, this person planned to kill Hua Qingyan and then deal with the two children, otherwise with the strength they left in the mountain village, they would not be able to deal with so many killers at all. Hua Qingying closed her eyes, unable to imagine the consequences.
Hua Qingyan saw her brother's thoughts, why shouldn't she, and now she also regrets not taking the two children with her at all times, if the two children are good in the place where they can't see, Hua Qingyan feels that she will definitely collapse!
Hua Qingyan looked at Hua Yaozong, who had an unknown look, and then looked at Hua Qingyan and said, "Daddy, brother, I want to go back to the mountain village first." ”
Hua Yaozong put down the letter and said: "It's okay, the winery belongs to Qing Ying, so he should take care of it, and the two of us will go back to the mountain village first, after all, the home is there, and the children are there." ”
Hua Yaozong couldn't describe his current mood, when he was at the border, Han Zhen and he would often quarrel because of different strategies and tactics, and fights were common. Moreover, he and Han Zhen were typical of each other's annoyance, if it was said that Han Zhen wanted to kill them, Hua Yaozong would take it for granted.
But what Hua Yaozong didn't expect was that Yuan Guo.
Yuan Guo is not handsome but honest, and his figure is not like a martial artist, and Yuan Guo loves to laugh, the northwest border is barren, and there is nothing funny to laugh about, but he can often hear Yuan Guo's laughter, as if a large group of ants can make him laugh when they move.
In the quarrel between Hua Yaozong and Han Zhen, Yuan Guo was the one who persuaded him to fight, every time he separated the two, Yuan Guo would pull Hua Yaozong to go to the earth bun and watch the moon drink, the two often got drunk and slept on the dirt bag, and it was common for them to return to the camp after waking up the next day.
At the border, Hua Yaozong almost regarded Yuan Guo as his best friend, and he was the only person who could drink and talk.
But now, he finally discovered the fact that everything was just wishful thinking. Yuan Guo has always acted on the scene for him, but his sincerity has never been exchanged for sincerity.
Hua Yaozong sighed, put the letter on the oil lamp and lit it, looking at the paper that was gradually engulfed in flames, Hua Yaozong's face was full of surprise.
Hua Qingying has been stationed at the border with Hua Yaozong for a long time, so she naturally knows her father's friendship with Na Yuan. He understood what it was like to be betrayed by a trusted friend, and he also understood Hua Yaozong's confusion in his heart at this time. Raised his hand and patted Hua Yaozong's shoulder and said, "Dad, it's okay for you to take Qingyan back to relax, and also help me take a good look at the two little guys." ”
Hua Yaozong raised his hand, scattered the ashes, and hummed softly.
At the end, Hua Qingying said again: "Dad, you still have Uncle Hu, that is the real confidant." ”
Hua Yaozong was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Hua Qingying was talking about, he was a little helpless, he didn't expect that he would have to be comforted by his son one day, but this feeling is also very good. I was relieved, but I didn't show it, and I glared at Hua Qingying and said roughly: "I'm a good father to teach?" Take care of your winery! This has a lot of business to do with the imperial court! If you smash your sister's signboard of Linyuan wine, see if I don't ask you! ”
"Yes, yes, I won't smash our sign!" Hua Qingying rolled her eyes, quite helpless.
There is no need for Hua Qingyan to worry about the Linyuan wine matter, and that night Hua Qingyan packed up her things and planned to go back to the mountain village, and naturally Lou Xueyan and Le Yao walked together. However, no one mentioned Hua Qingyan's assassination in front of Lou Xueyan. While not wanting the empress dowager to worry, I also hope to let her enjoy a carefree life.
