New 8#1 Chinese Network {γ Plain text Internet Novel Network
The rain was pouring down, and the sound of dense raindrops dripping drowned out a rush of horseshoe sounds. As soon as he rode from the north, he ran fiercely in the direction of the Pinan outpost, and disappeared in this white confusion in a blink of an eye.
"This is the third one, you go and report to the lord, the two of us are here to guard!" On the edge of the pine forest on the low side of the post road, three men in robes discussed with each other, and a tall man with a hemp pole left the two, turned around and hid into the dense forest...
The long-term drought and rainfall are the most joyful, the summer harvest rainstorm is the most bitter, the rainstorm is often and the rainfall is rare, which is really the great misfortune of the people in the world. In a drought year, the rain does not fall after the month, and the scorching sun scorches the earth, causing the irrigation canals to dry up, the ridges to crack, and the seedlings to die, which can be said to stop at the beginning. In a waterlogging year, the wind blows the grain to the ground, the raindrops hit the grains, and the water becomes waterlogged after the rain, and the water carries the grains and ears away, leaving nothing behind, which can be said to be extinguished in the end.
The rain at the Pinan outpost came fiercely and went very quickly, and it was small at the beginning of the moment, but fortunately, the water was not deep and did not become flooded. The wind gradually stopped and the rain stopped for a while, and the villagers were worried about the rice in the field, and they waded through the water one after another, and rushed to the ground one foot deeper and one foot shallow. The ears of rice in the field are all food for life, and even if one grain is wasted, their hearts will not stop hurting.
"Father, the rain has stopped, shall we go back to the barracks?" Xia Chengcan approached Xia Muyang and asked in a deep voice. For more than an hour, he had been thinking about what the letter said, but he couldn't figure it out. However, there are many inconveniences here, and it is by no means a suitable place to discuss matters.
Xia Muyang stared, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he said to Tang Su in a cold voice: "You go back to the camp first and summon twelve thousand people to my tent." β
Tang Su had been by his side, and naturally guessed that something important must happen in the capital, so he immediately bowed down and took the order, Zhengse replied "yes", turned around and jumped on the horse, and led the two princes' guards to drive away. Tang Su's horse had not traveled far before a horse came in the opposite direction, and seemed to say a few words to him, and then hurried towards the stone cave.
"Who is it?" Seeing that the other party was walking with a blade, Kong Yuhe stood in front of him, holding the handle of the knife in his hand, and said coldly.
The man jumped off his horse and handed the saber into the hands of the government soldiers on the side, Nai Xing stepped forward and said with an anxious face: "My lord, I am a personal soldier of the Liguo Mansion below, and I sent a letter to His Royal Highness King Zhen by the secret order of the queen's mother, please inform me." β
"Queen Mother?" Xia Muyang was stunned, "The Queen Mother actually sent a letter?" He knew at this time that things were only worse than he thought, so he walked up quickly and said, "Submit it!"
The messenger got the order, hurriedly took out a small bamboo tube from his waist pocket, broke the bamboo tube with both hands, took out the paper roll in between, and presented it.
Xia Muyang took the paper roll and spread it out to take a closer look, his face gradually turned cold. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Xia Chengcan coming over, so he put away the paper roll, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Chengcan, let's go back too!" Under his smile, there was a father's promise to his young son: "No matter what happens, now there is a father to support you..."
It is only more than ten miles away from the outpost, and it is only a quarter of an hour's journey by car. When Xia Muyang and his son arrived at the Chinese military tent, there were already thirteen people sitting upright during the period: twelve thousand people and Tang Su, the guard of the Zhenwang Mansion.
With a "swish", the thirteen people instantly left their seats and got up to greet Xia Muyang. The behavior is neat and uniform, the movements are crisp and neat, although it is just an ordinary military salute, but it has been like a sharp blade that has been drawn at the beginning, and the edge is revealed.
Xia Muyang sat down on the main general's seat, and said in a deep voice: "Sit!" Xia Chengcan and the thirteen generals sat down.
"I'm calling you here, there's an urgent matter that you need to do right away!" Xia Muyang looked at everyone and said with a straight face.
All the generals replied in unison: "Lord Wang, please give an order, we should obey it!" They are all old subordinates who have followed him for many years, and they are naturally loyal to him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they can go to the Sword Mountain and are willing to go to the sea of fire.
"You are all my confidants, and there is no need to hide this matter. Xia Muyang sighed, and continued, "I just got the news that the political situation in the capital has changed sharply, and my father is gullible to believe the words of King Yi and Zhan Weidao, and suspects that I have objections to King Yun. β
"Boom!" he was halfway through his sentence when the pot exploded in an instant.
"What? How is this possible!"...
"His grandmother's, who the hell said that the prince was going to rebel? Lao Tzu slashed him with a knife!"
... ...
"Lord, could it be a mistake? How could the emperor suspect that we have objections?
Xia Muyang waved his hand, and the discussion in the tent stopped abruptly for a while, but it was a bit of a thousand horses. "There is news from the capital that King Yun has been imprisoned in the mansion. He whispered.
The prince is so precious, the emperor will never easily imprison a prince. Xia Muyang said that King Yun was imprisoned, and everyone knew that things were really bad, maybe the emperor was really suspicious of the white-clothed army.
"I am determined to leave for the capital early tomorrow morning and prove my innocence to my father. Xia Muyang said with a solemn face. Even at this moment, he still didn't believe that Emperor Yonghua would suspect that he had an objection: "Father, didn't you tell your sons and daughters that when I return from sending troops to Baishan County, you will pass on the throne to me?"
"What is the reason why my father suspects that I have objections?"
"In the letters sent by the Empress Mother and Hu Xiu'an, why did they all deliberately ask me to detour from the southwest? If my father and emperor have the heart to take me, I only have 10,000 people here, where do I have so many concerns?"
"Could it be that Mu Yan has done something rebellious in my name?"
"With the background of King Yun's Mansion, no matter how difficult it is, it is always possible to send someone to send me a letter, why did it be the Queen Mother and Hu Xiu'an's people who arrived first?"...
"Although I am in Pinan, the princess is still in the capital, how can she not know anything about this with her wisdom? β...
... ...
He wanted to go back to the capital, ask his father and the emperor in person, and ask him, "Didn't you promise your sons that I would pass on the throne to me when I came back? How can you suspect that I have objections? Father, do you really not believe your sons?"
"Lord, think twice!" When everyone heard that he was going back to the capital, they hurriedly got up and persuaded him. Taking 10,000 steps back, Xia Muyang really has a counterintention, and they will definitely follow him to the death, and they will never want him to risk his life.
A round-faced man stood up from his seat, held his hand and said: "Lord, you can't go! Even if you want to go to the capital, you can't go in person, Qiu Tingtai is willing to go this way!"
"Yes, Qiu Tingtai is right! Even if you really want to find out something, you must not go in person, Lord Wang!" When everyone heard this, they all felt that it was inappropriate, and they shook their heads one after another.
Xia Chengcan also got up from his seat and said in a deep voice: "Father, if you really want to go back, why don't you go to Xiahe County first!"
"Yes, the prince is right! When you get to Xiahe County, you don't have to worry about anything. Although we have no objection, the emperor may not believe it. If he didn't notice it for a while, and actually did something foolish, it would really be too much to regret! When the prince arrived at the station, the emperor was worried about the white-clothed army, and he thought that he would weigh one or two more in the future, and then send someone to talk to the court, so that it would be safe!" Qiu Tingtai looked reckless and thoughtful, and after listening to Xia Chengcan's words, he hurriedly echoed.
"If I really support the army and threaten each other, my father is only afraid that the suspicion will be even heavier, and the charge of rebellion will not be confirmed!" Xia Muyang snorted coldly. This was also one of his doubts, "Why did the queen mother and Hu Xiuan want me to go to Xiahe County?
A short-bearded Qianfu stepped forward, stood with his hands arched, and said in a loud voice: "Lord, Diao Dong'er's life was given by you, that is, the prince is really opposed, I will give up my life to follow you!"
Xia Muyang's face turned cold, and he suddenly slapped his palm on the desk, and said angrily: "Diao Dong'er, don't mention this matter! As the emperor, this king has no two hearts! You are the general of the imperial court, not my Xia Muyang's general, and you should be loyal to the imperial court instead of me, Xia Muyang! You should serve the country to death, not to serve me Xia Muyang! understand?"
Diao Dong'er was stunned for a moment, her eyes were red, and she replied, "Yes, Lord Wang!"
... ...
The people were ordered to retreat, and the tent was finally cleared.
"Father, I'll go with you!" Xia Chengcan looked at his father with blazing eyes, and said with a straight face. No matter what happens, their father and son are one, and if the palace of the king is defeated, how can he be spared?
Xia Muyang shook his head with a smile, stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down, and then whispered: "Chengcan, you are only young, and these things should naturally be borne by your father." The situation in the capital is strange and abnormal, and I really can't trust the two letters of the queen mother and Xiu'an. β
"Could it be that the Imperial Grandmother and Lord Hu will actually return us?" Xia Chengcan frowned and said strangely. These two people, one is his grandmother and the other is his cousin, he doesn't believe that they will come to return to the palace.
"Silly child, how could the queen mother harm us?" Xia Muyang said with a smile, "What I'm worried about is that they were used by others to misspread this news. β
Xia Chengcan heard this, pondered for a long time, nodded slowly, and said coldly: "Not bad." What is in the faith, it is not believed. How could the imperial grandfather be suspicious of the royal palace?"
I didn't want Xia Muyang to shake his head, his face was lonely, and he said softly: "Not necessarily." King Yun is imprisoned, but I am afraid that most of it is true. Also, in the royal family, no one's words can be trusted. Chengcan, you need to remember!" he still clearly remembered the picture of Emperor Yonghua saying to himself that he wanted to pass on the throne.
"In the royal family, no one's words can be trusted. Xia Chengcan silently thought in his heart.
"The matter of the capital, my father can't decide for a while, and he can't make a decision. But for sure, something big must happen! I have to go back. Xia Muyang said. His words were resolute, his eyes resolute, and he did not allow anyone to refute.
"Father, the child will go with you!" Xia Chengcan said again.
"You go, it won't help. Xia Muyang said, "When you go to the capital, anything can happen, and you and my father and son must not go together! Once something happens to me, you urgently lead these 10,000 white-clothed troops north and return to the Xiahe County garrison." Apparently, he was aware of the dangers of the trip.
"Father!" Xia Chengcan clenched his fists and roared in a low voice.
