Chapter 381: Yanning Peace Talks (3)
As soon as these words came out, for some reason, Wei Nong seemed to hear the definition of Hou Chang breathing a sigh of relief. Without waiting for her to say anything, Hou and Du Zhong looked at each other again and said to her, "Since the county lord has a guest, we will retire first." ”
Wei Nong realized that it was a little strange, and he was afraid that some tricky problems would happen, so he hurriedly said: "The two of you should rest in the side hall for a while, I won't talk to Lord Yun for too long." ”
Definition Hou and Du Zhong didn't say anything more, and walked straight out. When the two walked to the side hall, they greeted Yunchen and saluted each other. This is really a slight surprise, the three people who were blushing and thick-necked a few days ago are extremely polite and polite at this moment.
Wei Nong felt even more strange when she saw this, but she didn't have time to think about it, she straightened her thoughts and welcomed Yunchen straight into the main hall. He is still dressed in white, but unlike before, there are more embroidery on the cuffs and corners of the robe, and the clothes are also of good Yunjin, which makes him seem to be finally less cold.
As if knowing what Wei Nong was thinking, Yunchen opened his mouth to explain: "I once made an oath that the state of Chu will no longer be restored, and I will serve white for the rest of my life. Although there is no hope of recovering the country now, the peace talks are a major event, and I must not be rude in dressing. ”
The state of Chu is gone, and he has served white all his life. He finally gave up the restoration of the country, but Wei Nong couldn't say what he was feeling at the moment.
In the battle of Yanchu, both countries were losers.
The price of reunification was too painful, more painful than she had imagined, and perhaps that is why peace is more cherished.
Facing Yunchen, Weiming's hands were about to start shaking, and she forced herself to calm down: "What are you looking for me?" ”
Yunchen looked at her with a light face, and asked first, "Do you still want to kill me?" ”
After he asked, he found that his slightly thick eyes gradually became sharp, and what seemed to appear in them was hatred; Then, hatred turned into sadness, sadness turned into disappointment, and after the disappointment, she gradually lowered her eyes and turned her back to him: "You killed him to avenge the country, and I have no position to care." As for my father's revenge......"
Wei Nong paused for a long time when he said this, as if he had made great determination before he spoke: "You helped me escape from King Ning's Palace, which can be regarded as saving my life...... The old grievances are written off. In the future, you take your Yangguan Road, and I will take my single-plank bridge, and we will ...... each other Irrelevant. ”
In the last four words, she said slowly, deeply, coldly, and sadly.
Yunchen was also silent after hearing this, with his back to him slightly, and he couldn't see what expression was on his face.
The two of them were speechless, and after a long time, Yunchen suddenly said a sentence without a beginning or an end: "In this peace talk, King Ning originally wanted Yuan Che to come too, but he refused to see you." ”
Wei Nong didn't understand what Bai Yunchen meant, and turned to look at him.
"He's hurt, it's in the face." Yunchen calmly recounted the facts.
"How did he get hurt?" Wei Nong didn't realize the meaning of his words.
"Burns."
Wei Nong's heart twitched suddenly: "He is...... It's ......"
"The last time he burned down the house to help you escape, he was suffocated and unconscious when the guards found him. At that time, the smoke was too great to see the road clearly, and when the guards rescued him, he stepped on the crystal beads on the ground and fell, and Yuan Che's face fell right on the broken wood that was on fire. Yunchen's face was still calm: "Fortunately, there is no worry about his life, but the left half of his face is ...... In the future, I can only live with a mask. ”
Spend your days wearing a mask! Wei's heart was shocked, and then he was full of guilt. Yuan Che's appearance is unusually handsome, and he looks a little like a girl, although he keeps saying that he hates his face, but she knows that he actually pays attention to appearance. And now, half of his face is ruined! He can no longer dress flamboyantly, no longer swagger, no longer ......
"Is it badly hurt?" Wei Nong only asked.
"It's just that there are scars on his cheeks and forehead, and his vision and hearing are not affected, but his voice is hoarse." Yunchen stared at Wei Nong tightly, not letting go of the slightest change in her expression: "That's why he refuses to come, he doesn't want you to see his appearance." He also said......"
"What did he say?"
"To say that he deserves to be guilty doesn't require you to feel guilty."
Wei Nong was speechless for an instant, but felt a burst of sadness.
Yunchen didn't continue to speak, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Do you hate him?" ”
Slightly strong to endure his emotions, he replied after a while: "I used to hate it, I hated it very much, but I knew in my heart that Yuan Che was not the culprit." If it weren't for Nie Xingji's poisoning too deeply, he wouldn't have succeeded at all, and he wouldn't even be able to break into the main tent...... Moreover, he was stabbed in the waist at that time, it was not a fatal wound, if Nie Xingji had not been poisoned, he would have fought back a long time ago, and Qi Zhan would not have died at all. ”
"It seems that you don't hate Yuan Che, you hate me." Yunchen still calmly stated the facts.
Wei Nong shook his head: "I'm tired, I can't hate it, I just want to live a peaceful life in the future, and I don't want to see you again." ”
"So I and you can only be strangers in the future?" Yunchen seemed to ask unwillingly.
Wei Nong wanted to laugh: "It's not like a stranger, what else?" Be friends? Will your men, your dead men, agree? Even if I don't seek revenge on you again, I can't act like nothing happened! ”
"Yes, there is ...... between us" Yunchen didn't say any more, just laughed self-deprecatingly.
Between them, there is a national hatred and family hatred, and countless people's lives, and they have all lost their family affection and love because of this.
He can't get rid of his subordinates, his responsibilities, and she can't get rid of Nie Xingji's death and her father's death.
Wei Nong didn't know what to say at the moment, and since when, there was nothing to say between her and Yunchen. She racked her brains to think about the topic, and suddenly remembered her original intention of seeing Yunchen, so she said, "I have a few questions I want to ask you." ”
"Just ask."
"There is no one among the three kings, and none of the conditions mentioned in the peace talks are about you, but you are still willing to come on behalf of King Ning, did he promise you any other benefits?" Wei Nong looked directly at Yunchen: "Or, what benefits did you promise the Chu royal family?" ”
"I didn't have me on the terms of the peace talks because I didn't want to go on a career again. When a new dynasty is established, no matter who becomes emperor, I will not be able to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him, and I can only lead to suspicion. I'm so tired, fighting for power and profit, I used to have to do it as a last resort, and I don't want to do it again in the future. ”
Yunchen showed a little tiredness, and he didn't hide it: "As for the benefits promised by King Ning, I bought the right to transport the new dynasty with real money. ”
Buying the right to transport? Wei Nong subconsciously asked, "How long have you been buying?" ”
"Permanently."
Although Yunchen kept saying that he bought the right to Cao Yun with his own money, Wei Nong knew him too well, if it was someone else, he might only buy the right to Cao Yun; But if Yunchen paid for it, it wouldn't just be Cao Yunquan, he must have seen other hidden interests, but this interest has not yet been discovered by King Ning. Therefore, Yunchen will definitely not lose money.
Wei Nong didn't ask in detail, and he wasn't interested in this business, but was just curious: "How much did you spend to buy it?" ”
"Ten thousand taels of gold."
10,000,000 taels of gold? Wei Nong immediately realized that this money came from the treasure! It is equivalent to Yunchen himself not giving a penny! She didn't know how big this number was, so she hurriedly asked, "Ten thousand taels of gold, is it all of the treasure?" ”
"About 30 percent." Yunchen said calmly: "If I don't have a surplus of that money, I won't embezzle too much, first, the target is too big, and it is inconvenient to embezzle; The second is to leave some in case the new dynasty needs it from time to time. I'll only take the principal amount of the business. ”
"If you and the plate are out, aren't you afraid that I will tell others?" Wei Nong deliberately deceived him.
"If you wanted to say it, you would have said it a long time ago." Yunchen showed a confident smile: "Besides, Yanning has ceased war, the situation has stabilized, if you say it, it will only set off a new round of scramble and scuffle, you won't do this kind of stupid thing." ”
Wei was speechless for a while, but remained silent.
As soon as the two of them didn't speak, the atmosphere in the room seemed to be depressing, Yunchen had something on his mind today, and he originally came to her with great determination, but when he saw her, he couldn't say those unspeakable words, so he could only ask euphemistically: "Regarding the reunification, have General Du and the Definition Hou told you?" ”
"Telled, I have no opinion." She didn't want to say too much to Yunchen in this matter, lest she be tricked by the other party to say something that she shouldn't say.
Yunchen asked himself very well and stared at her expression for a long time, and when he saw that she still didn't react, he sighed: "It seems that you don't know yet." ”
Wei Nong really raised his eyes: "What do you mean?" ”
This time, it was Yunchen's turn to lower his eyes: "The Yuan family is the emperor, and the Nie family is the queen, do you know about this matter?" ”
Wei Nong nodded: "I know." ”
"But the Nie family doesn't have a suitable daughter to marry." Yunchen wanted to speak and stopped.
"It's true," Wei Nong also thought about this question, "But Ning Wangyuan Qingzheng is old, I'm afraid it's impossible to establish a queen again, otherwise only the eldest princess who has separated from him will be eligible." ”
Having said that, Wei Nong also knew that King Ning must be celibate after ascending the throne, and it is impossible to find the eldest princess to be the queen, otherwise the two sixty or seventy-year-old people will be reduced to the jokes of the world after tea and dinner, and there will be no prestige.
"King Ning also thought of this, so he was willing to abdicate and not be the founding emperor, but only the emperor." Yunchen is slightly dense to solve the puzzle.
The latter's attention was immediately attracted: "Why didn't he do it?" Who else but him can hold down this chaos? ”
"He is not in good health, he knows that his time is short, and he is worried that he will die as soon as he sits on the dragon chair, and then he will have to mess up again, which is not conducive to the stability of the new dynasty." Yunchen said what King Ning meant: "Therefore, he wants to give way to his descendants, so that the promise of the Yuan clan as the emperor and the Nie clan as the queen can be fulfilled as soon as possible." ”
"Has he chosen an heir? Who is it? Wei Nong was more concerned about this matter, but Fang Cai Yunchen said so much, she already had an answer in her heart.
"Yuan Che." Yunchen confirmed her suspicions.
