Chapter 493: The Emperor's Heavy Responsibility
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he got out of the carriage, and the forbidden soldiers guarding the gate knew him, and they couldn't help but be surprised. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
How did the major general become like this, it was as weak as the wind.
Cao Teng was already waiting for him at the door. Ying Shaoyan has no quality and no job now, so he can only wear a robe that goes to the palace and does not lose his manners.
He arched his hand: "There is Father-in-law Lao." ”
Cao Teng did this to the big eunuch, he has always been tight-mouthed, and he is also very good at watching people put down dishes. Although Ying Shaoyan didn't even have a good position, he didn't dare to make a mistake, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Young General, the emperor is waiting for you in the side hall of the Xuanzheng Hall and a few courtiers." ”
Ying Shaoyan nodded and took a step back: "Father-in-law, please lead the way." ”
When he arrived at the side hall of the Xuanzheng Palace, Ying Shaoyan was taken aback, it turned out that the people were very complete, not much less than the usual morning court, and the important civil and military ministers were there.
He hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Weichen should say a few words to see the emperor." ”
The emperor smiled slightly and asked him to get up.
The dynasty won a complete victory, and the emperor's spirit returned. Although Ying Shaoyan was convicted in Di Ying's matter before, this battle could not be fought without Ying Zhengyun and Meng Dingguo, and although Ying Shaoyan was a fledgling in the defense of the capital, he played a mainstay role, and the emperor must take a high look.
The emperor asked some about the search for Meng Yu, and then greeted Ying Shaoyan's injury, and then praised a few words. Suddenly, he said: "Because my cousin is missing, Fu Guogong has been searching for so many days without results, and he is too sad, and he has already asked me to resign." ”
Ying Shaoyan was taken aback, this news came too fiercely, too unprepared.
In his eyes, his uncle is a symbol of the stability of the country, with his uncle, not only the emperor, but even himself often feels that he has the backbone of the backbone, so he no longer cares about the country?"
The emperor smiled with difficulty, no one could imagine his complicated mood now, he didn't give Ying Shaoyan too much time to react, and continued: "I have discussed with several cabinet ministers, and I plan to make you the Hou of Anguo, and deal with the major affairs of the court and China on behalf of the Duke of Fuguo, and then be promoted in the future." ”
Ying Shaoyan was even more taken aback: "Your Majesty ......"
The emperor still smiled slightly, he must have thought of Ying Shaoyan's surprise: "What, don't you want to thank you?"
Ying Shaoyan hurriedly bowed down again: "Your Majesty, Wechen's wife lost her son and brother, and she was too sad, Wechen has decided to go to the desert to find her cousin again, and ask the emperor to understand Wechen's hardship." ”
The emperor sat up straight on the dragon chair: "I know that my cousin has been hit, and I will also sympathize with the Meng Ying family, but since Shao Yan has experienced this war, does he know that he should put state affairs first." ”
His face was a little more serious.
Ying Shaoyan was a little confused, he worked very hard in the army, and he also hoped that his battlefield fight would be recognized. But he didn't feel that this kind of pie that fell from the sky on him was attractive, and his mind was full of going to find Meng Yu, both for his cousin who lived and died together, and for Xiaoxue.
Xiao Zhengyi hurriedly went out of the class and said: "Shaoyan, you are a military general, and you always feel that fighting across horses is to fight for the country, but as everyone knows, the situation facing the dynasty will be more dangerous, especially the auxiliary prince can no longer assist the emperor in managing the affairs of the dynasty, and the dynasty also needs a talent like you." ”
Of course, Xiao Zhengyi knew that it was for his daughter Xiao Dianxiu that Ying Shaoyan fell to the point where today's martial arts were completely wasted, and he had to be reminded.
Ying Shaoyan was very stubborn: "Lord Xiao, the emperor, Shaoyan has no martial arts now, and he has more than enough strength to do anything for the country, and he also asks the emperor to entrust such a heavy responsibility to a talented and virtuous person." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, the righteous king Longwei who was sitting next to him coughed slightly.
Ying Shaoyan was confused, and he suddenly wondered in his heart, Long Wei has always had no taboos, and he can say whatever he wants, but now he is ......
Zhao Yiming saw that Ying Shaoyan was at a loss, so he also went out and said: "Young general, you can get such a special favor from the emperor, and you are also a senior minister of the dynasty who is trying his best to protect it, and the auxiliary prince is now a commoner, and the emperor is magnificent, and he allowed the auxiliary prince to sell the two mansions of the capital and Xiyuzhou, and build a temple outside the city of Xiyuzhou to pray for Meng Yu. Since then, Fu Guogong has been an ordinary old man, he and his wife have no son, and the evening is bleak, and they also need your son-in-law to care. ”
Ying Shaoyan is such a smart person, although he is bent on finding Meng Yu, at least he shows his attitude to Xiaoxue. But as soon as Xiao Zhengyi and Zhao Yiming knocked, he suddenly understood that his uncle was an ordinary old man who had lost power from now on, and his family wealth was scattered, although he was very popular in the country, and there was a group of old ministers who advocated for him, but how many people were plotting to harm him in their hearts, even including the emperor himself. Now is the autumn of troubled times, and the emperor is also at the request of the old ministers and the righteous king Longwei, he has to use himself, if he is in the capital and his father is in Xiyuzhou in the future, he echoes each other, and he is also protecting his uncle.
He suddenly understood, and hurriedly knelt down: "Weichen thanks the emperor for his great kindness, and I am willing to repay the emperor with my liver and brain." ”
The emperor said: "Shaoyan doesn't have to be too humble, let's be even." ”
Ying Shaoyan kowtowed and stood up, but he didn't want Prince Long Wei, who was sitting next to him, to stand up: "Okay! Since the dynasty has the material of the pillars again, this king will return to Huguang!"
Ying Shaoyan suddenly understood that if the emperor did not promise to give himself power, and he did not agree to the emperor's inauguration, then Long Wei was afraid that he would support troops to occupy the capital, which was what the emperor was most afraid of.
Sure enough, the war stopped, but the struggle between the two dynasties did not stop.
Out of the palace, Xiao Zhengyi seemed to inadvertently respond to Shaoyan: "The court and China have secret discussions, and you can't talk to outsiders casually, including relatives." ”
Ying Shaoyan was stunned for a moment, and bowed to Xiao Zhengyi: "Thank you for reminding me." ”
Xiao Zhengyi looked at this young man who almost became his son-in-law, but made his daughter almost break down, but he was born and died several times to save his daughter, and he was also in a complicated mood for a while.
He said softly: "You, you are so confused in family affairs, but you are a great talent in handling political affairs, I only hope that you will be in harmony with Xiaoxue in the future." ”
Ying Shaoyan was considered to be after returning home, under the horizontal eyebrows of the three women in the family, he finally heard a warm word, he gave a deep salute, and watched Xiao Zhengyi jump on the horse and walk away. However, if he did not tell the three women in his family the inner reason for accepting the emperor's appointment, they would not forgive themselves, and how could they be reconciled if they wanted to be reconciled with Xiaoxue? However, it was even more impossible to tell the truth, and even Long Wei and the two elders were careful not to say it clearly, how could he not know that the stakes were important! He was preoccupied, looked at the clear blue sky and sighed for a long time, why is life so tormented?
Seeing that Ying Shaoyan promised the emperor to take over most of the power of Meng Dingguo, Long Wei left the capital with confidence. He really didn't have to and didn't want to stay in the capital to see the emperor's face. When he left, he also picked up Qinghui, the orphan left by King Kangming, from the Menggong Mansion, no matter what, he was also Qinghui's cousin, and the friendship between Princess Yi and King Kangming was so deep, he would naturally treat Qinghui well. It's just that her father and brother and sister died due to rebellion, and Princess Shen Wanhua needs some time to heal. Fortunately, although Long Wei is the same as a little overlord, he treats her with deep affection.
