Chapter 56: Death Alone
The next morning, Huo Ze announced the death of Xiongnu Shan Yu, and he was very embarrassed about the departure and stay of Princess Duanshu.
Su Zhaoqing really led many ministers to play one after another, asking Emperor Zhao to allow the eldest princess to continue to marry the next Shan Yu.
"Li Guo has never had such a rule? A woman who serves Dove and is still a princess, wouldn't it be shameful to spread it! "There are some old ministers in the court, they are already dissatisfied with the peace, and now that Lao Shan is dead, it is to welcome the princess back, how can there be so many problems.
"Lord Zhang said it nicely, welcome the princess back, and openly renegade the covenant, isn't this ridiculous? Besides, the Huns have such rules, and now the princess is also half a Huns, so she should abide by them. The other adult retorted with a snort.
Yue Crepe received a vacant position in the palace, and he encountered this for the first time in the court today, he couldn't listen to it and jumped out to justify: "The eldest princess is young, the old single is dead, the new single is uncertain, and the Xiongnu are in civil strife at the moment, and the princess must be very dangerous there, so the princess must be taken back to the Li country." ”
"The commander of Yue said seriously, the family sending team is still in the Xiongnu, the princess must be very safe, if the princess is taken back, how to explain to the Xiongnu, if the Xiongnu ask for someone from the Li State, should it be given to the second prince or the third prince?" Su Zhaoqing said to Shangyue Crepe and said him speechless.
"In this case, why not take advantage of the civil strife of the Xiongnu and defeat the Xiongnu in one fell swoop, so that you can also take back the princess?" Yue Xuan said enthusiastically, he had been in the capital for a long time, he had no chance to show his skills, and he only knew how to patrol the palace with a sword every day, and there was no battlefield excitement at all.
Huo Yan and Yue Xun calmly listened to their arguments, the rhetoric of this group of adults seemed to have colluded early, but I am afraid that their meaning is also the emperor, they are just a messenger, and the final result is still in charge of Emperor Zhao.
Su Zhaoqing sneered: "The commander of Yue is so capable, why did he fight several battles with the Huns, but he still did not take the Huns, if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't get an advantage on the battlefield, why would Her Royal Highness the princess go to make peace?" Moreover, now that many parts of the country have been severely affected, and the financial resources can no longer support large-scale battles, have these Vietnamese commanders considered it? ”
"This is ......," Yue Crepe was born as a military general, so he naturally couldn't say that Su Zhaoqing was a speech official.
In fact, Yue Xun knew in his heart that Su Zhaoqing was not wrong at all, drought and flood broke out in many places in the country of Li, the people were famine, and the imperial court did fund one-third of the treasury in order to appease the states and counties, and the emperor Qi, the empress dowager died, just building the imperial mausoleum, and holding the national funeral cost a lot of manpower and financial resources.
"Your Majesty, my brother has something to say." Huo Yan still chose to stand up and speak after all, after all, Duan Shu is the only princess of Li Kingdom.
Huo Ze already knew that Huo Yan would stand up, and he waved his hand and signaled, "If the regent has something to say, just say it." ”
Huo Yan made another gesture: "Your Majesty, the princess has a noble status, now it is really unsafe in the Xiongnu tribe, the Xiongnu civil strife does not know when it will be over, and the family mission can not always stay in the territory of others, why not bring the princess back or send it to the border town first, and then send the princess back when the new order is confirmed." ”
Huo Yan said everything reasonably, but it was difficult for him, the elder brother, to refuse, if he refused, wouldn't it be infamous for not paying attention to flesh and blood affection.
Su Zhaoqing saw Emperor Zhao's embarrassment, and as a courtier, he was about to come out to defend himself, but was stopped by Emperor Zhao's eyes.
"The regent's words are reasonable, but he openly took the princess to the border fortress, how to explain to the Huns? I thought that there must be someone in a high position to convey the will, so as to show sincerity. Huo Ze leaned back in the dragon chair and looked down at the ministers below.
Huo Yan understood what he meant, and Huo Ze wanted him to go to the Xiongnu to announce the decree.
"The emperor said this very much, so the courtier..."
"Wechen goes." Yue Xun stood out of the column and retold lightly: "Weichen is willing to go to the Xiongnu to announce the decree." ”
Now the disaster relief matters are all in the responsibility of the regent, and the treasury key is also in the hands of the regent, if Huo Yan personally goes to the Xiongnu, then these can only be handed over to someone else, who is likely to be Su Xiang. Huo Ze wanted to take this opportunity to take back power little by little. No matter how ruthless the dim sum is, it is very likely that Huo Yan will die in the civil strife of the Huns, and it is the best choice for Yue Xun to go by himself.
Emperor Zhao's plan fell through, and after being lost for a while, he quickly replaced his hypocritical smiling face.
"Then I will bother Yue Qing to go to the Huns in person, so that I can see the old acquaintances."
Emperor Zhao had something to say, Yue Xun did not fluctuate, and bent down to accept the order.
After facing down, Huo Yan walked with Yue Xun, deliberately keeping a distance.
"This time the Huns are unstable, you have to be very careful after you go." Huo Yan didn't know what to say, only instructed.
Yue Xun stood upright and snorted.
"When I went to the Xiongnu, King Rui was almost in Beijing, you pay more attention, I'm afraid he will make a whole thing."
Huo Yan stepped down the ladder and said, "Don't worry, I have already coordinated with the Yue commander, and I will definitely send additional people to maintain the safety of the capital." ”
"But what do you want me to bring to the princess?" Yue Xun knew that he had a deep relationship with Duan Shu, so he deliberately stopped and asked.
Huo Yan paused, smiled and shook his head: "A thousand words can't convey my thoughts, if it's convenient for you, say a word for me, let her rest assured, the sixth brother will definitely take her home." ”
"Hmm." Yue Xun agreed.
The two walked to the palace gate together, and Huo Yan suddenly stopped Yue Xun: "That's right, Yue.. Is Mrs. Yue going? ”
Yue Xun frowned, he regarded Huo Yan as a friend and could get along well, but when he thought of him as a rival in love, he was cold.
"What?"
Huo Yan didn't know where he had offended him, and he was puzzled, "I think Duan Shu has been alone for a long time, if Mrs. Yue can talk to her and enlighten her, she will be very happy." ”
Yue Xun took off his guard at this time, and it stands to reason that Rou Yun would definitely go with him, but he didn't dare to answer in person without her answer.
"I'll go back and ask her."
"Okay, then I'll go back first." Huo Yan boarded the carriage of the palace and waved to him.
Yue Xun also got into his own carriage.
There is no doubt that when Yue Xun mentioned to Rou Yun that he was going to pick up Duan Shu, Rou Yun ran over with joy, tugging at his sleeve to flatter him, and he also wanted to follow.
"It's a long way to go, it's tiring." Yue Xun pinned her little broken hair, to be honest, he was reluctant to let her suffer a little.
"Husband, take me there, I'm not afraid of being tired." Seeing that he didn't react, Rou Yun simply changed his moves: "You have been going for so long, what if I miss you, why don't you take me with you to relieve lovesickness." ”
Yue Xun sighed, his eyebrows and eyes were already dyed with a smile, he really couldn't say anything to her, she really held her weakness in her hands, and when he thought of separating from her, he really couldn't do it.
"Okay, I'll take you there, but this time I'm going to do something important, I'm afraid I won't have time to have fun with you."
Yue Xun told her all the purposes of going to the Xiongnu.
"Lao Danyu is dead?"
Lao Shan Yu is old, and Rou Yun is not shocked by this, but shocked by this, "Duan Shu wants to marry his son?" ”
This is a common thing in the Xiongnu, but in the country of Li, this is called the so-called chaos () Lun, how to accept this, and Duan Shu is taught by the aunt in the palace, knowing the four books and five classics of women's training, which is contrary to what she has learned, even if she is welcomed back to Li in the future, how can she see the people of Li country.
"Well, from a wife to a concubine." Yue Xun soothed Rou Yun.
"From a wife to a concubine... Shu'er is the daughter of Li Guo, with a noble bloodline, the princess has always only recruited horses, no matter how bad she is, she is also a wife, so that the princess deigns to be a concubine, how can she accept this? Rou Yun lost her mind and leaned on Yue Xun.
Yue Xun hugged her and stabilized herself: "So the regent wants to ask you to enlighten and enlighten her." ”
This kind of thing is unacceptable to anyone, but Duan Shu encountered it.
Now I can only meet to see what kind of mood Duan Shu is in.......
Yue Xun was the envoy of the Li State to the Xiongnu, and the will was soon issued.
The old lady and Wei knew that the two of them were going to the Xiongnu together, so they were very worried, and prepared boxes of things needed on the road, for fear of missing something.
"Grandmother, mother, there are too many things, we need to buy them on the road, and we can't squeeze in if we pretend like this." Rou Yun hurriedly came out to stop it.
"Yun'er, the things outside are not as good as at home, not to mention the wild land of the Huns, it is better to prepare more." Wei patted Rou Yun's hand and said, turning around to direct the loading carriage again.
The old lady pulled her aside and told her to pay attention to safety, and then reminded in a low voice: "If there are too many things, put them at your father's place, and your mother won't know about them." ”
Rou Yun couldn't cry and laugh, she could only say yes.
Yue Xun walked out of the house, with a groom dressed as a stunner.
"Canglan is too noisy, I let him stay in the house to accompany his grandmother, his martial arts are high, and he can protect you with us."
Rou Yun glared at Yue Xun: "Didn't you say that it is absolutely in my charge?" How dare you call it without my permission? Well? ”
"Then please allow Madame?"
"Hmph."
Yue Xun wanted to say something, but was quietly pulled aside by Wei.
"Okay." Wei Shi made sure that Rou Yun didn't look this way before continuing: "Yun Er is pregnant? ”
"Why did Mother say that?" Yue Xun was confused.
Wei Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll ask if it's okay, I'm afraid that if I'm pregnant, the bumps on the road will be inconvenient." ”
"Mother, don't worry." I just came to Kwai Shui a few days ago, where will I be pregnant.
"That's good, remember to take care of Yun'er more on the road and coax more." Wei chattered endlessly.
Yue Xun hurriedly stopped: "Knowing Mother, it's time for us to set off." ”
"Hey, when the kid is older, let's go." Wei Shi waved his hand and went to explain a few more words to Rou Yun.
"What did Mother say?" After getting into the carriage, Rou Yun asked her doubts.
Yue Xun said honestly: "Mother asked me if your stomach is moving?" ”
Rou Yun was shocked at first, and then lowered her eyes in frustration: "Is the mother looking forward to the child very much, it's not good for me." ”
"Nope." Yue Xun touched her head and met her bright eyes: "Mother is afraid that you are pregnant, and it will be uncomfortable to bump on the road, that's all." ”
"But..."Rou Yun still touched her stomach and said cautiously: "My stomach hasn't moved, is it my body..."
"Don't talk nonsense, if there is a problem, then I can't do it." Yue Xun comforted her.
Rou Yun chuckled, thinking that the doctor said that she was normal, and laughed: "Maybe it's really you who can't." ”
Yue Xun narrowed his eyes and asked again, "I can't?" It seems that I will have to 'take care' more of my wife in the future. ”
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Rou Yun hurriedly begged for mercy: "I don't dare." ”
