ugly king favorite
Chapter 51
I won't hinder you here. "
After Jun Zuo said this, he glanced at the Yufu Palace again, feeling quite emotional, "I still remember the way you stood in front of the steps reading when you were a child. It is rare for you to enter the palace today, and you will be in the palace later. Let's go after dinner."
Jun Yu looked at Brother Huang's eyebrows and nodded after a while, "Okay."
Emperor Xuanwen patted him on the shoulder again, "Okay, then it's settled."
Li Wende yelled at the right time, "The emperor is driving!" Emperor Xuanwen waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to see him off. Emperor Xuanwen stepped across the threshold, and Junyu and Linyi respectfully sent the emperor out of the palace gate.
Jun Yu strode quickly to Lin Yi's side, grabbed his body and looked around, and asked while looking, "Brother Huang didn't hurt you, did he?"
Linyi kicked him and knocked off his hands that were checking carelessly, "No, how many people in this world can hurt me?"
Jun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, Linyi looked at him, raised the corners of his mouth, and asked, "Don't you trust your second brother? Why are you so nervous when I enter the palace?"
"It's not the same," Jun Yu shook his head resolutely, "Brother Erhuang believes in me, not you. Brother Erhuang is a very sensible person, he knows what to do and what not to do. He is a cautious and The emperor who cares about the overall situation, I'm afraid he will get rid of you for me..."
Linyi saw his seriousness, as if he was warning the little sheep about the worldly affairs.Linyi wanted to laugh, but finally nodded, "I know."
Jun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Yi pulled him over, "Since you're here, tell me about your childhood."
As soon as the Northwest King heard Lin Yi say this, he was worried about him and became anxious. He even rubbed the corner of his clothes, "Ah Yi, are you sure you want to listen?"
Linyi looked at him, taking his expression into his eyes, he stretched out his hand to hold him, "Of course, you can tell me about your mother, haven't I always been curious about how you look so honest?"
"Okay." Jun Yu nodded, his expression changed from nervous to excited, and he pulled Lin Yi around the palace.To be honest, his happy memories are basically given to him by his mother, let alone other things.
The roses in Yufu Palace are also blooming very prosperously, big clusters are red like fire, the bluestone slabs in the yard are neatly paved, and the palace is still tall and majestic, beautiful, even if there is no one there. Live here, and you can see the prosperity at that time.
In Chengqian Palace not far from here, Emperor Xuanwen had to deal with state affairs as usual.
"What did Prime Minister Zhao mean? I didn't hear clearly." Emperor Xuanwen had a memorial spread out in front of him, and he propped his chin and looked at Zhao Jingran below.
"What Weichen means is that the Northwest King has mobilized [-] soldiers and horses without authorization, just for a male favorite. It is really a misfortune for my Zongyue to ignore the laws of my Zongyue and bully the King and his superiors." Zhao Jingran repeated again. Repeatedly, "If you ignore the imperial law like this, you should be severely punished."
Emperor Xuanwen did not speak, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, Zhao Jingran did not raise his head, if he raised his head, he could see Emperor Xuanwen's eyes stabbing him like a knife.After a long time, Emperor Xuanwen said, "Then Prime Minister Zhao thinks how to punish severely?"
"This..." Zhao Jingran rolled his eyes and said, "I dare not speak nonsense."
Emperor Xuanwen sneered in his heart, but still had an imposing face on his face, "Don't dare to speak nonsense... The prime minister is the pillar of my clan, and he can't even understand this matter, so when can you speak, come and tell me!"
After saying that, he threw his notebook on the ground, the sound of the memorial being thrown on the ground was not loud, but Zhao Jingran hurriedly knelt down, "I am guilty!"
The hall was silent, and the maids and eunuchs on duty did not dare to breathe.
"What's the prime minister's crime? I'm the one who's guilty. I'm not familiar with Zongyue's laws, and I still have to ask the prime minister." Emperor Xuanwen sneered, "I have to trouble the prime minister to intervene in such a trivial matter. I'm really guilty. "
Zhao Jingran crouched below, not daring to vent his breath.But I thought in my heart, could it be that he really misunderstood the meaning of the emperor?According to his understanding of the emperor, the Northwest King has the military power, and the emperor will take it back sooner or later.
But now that the Northwest King has a great reputation, the emperor is too embarrassed to do anything about it. The memorial he is playing now just gives the emperor an excuse to move him.Could it be that the emperor really has a deep brotherly love for that ugly monster?
"Prime Minister, if you have nothing else to do, please go back and read more laws when you have time." Emperor Xuanwen raised his eyelids to look at him, and began to correct the memorial again.
"Yes." Zhao Jingran stood up and retreated anxiously.
As soon as Zhao Jingran walked out of the Chengqian Palace, Jun Zuo put down his pen and sneered, "The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, Wende, tell the prime minister that I will keep the Northwest King to eat with me tonight."
"Yes." Li Wende replied, and trotted out of the palace.
Zhao Jingran walked down the palace road indignantly, that ugly bastard made such a big mess this time, how long the emperor can help him hide it, tomorrow the old man will unite with the ministers to appeal, it depends on how the emperor can protect him!
"Prime Minister, wait." Li Wende trotted over.
Zhao Jingran pretended not to hear anything, and then walked forward.
"Prime Minister." Li Wende called out again, and ran up to him.Seeing him coming here, Zhao Jingran was embarrassed and pretended he didn't hear anything, so he stopped and asked in surprise, "When will Eunuch Li find the old man?"
Seeing his posturing, Li Wende sneered in his heart, but his face was still smiling like a spring breeze, "Prime Minister." Li Wende pulled him aside, and whispered: "The emperor asked me to tell you that the prince of Northwest is in the palace tonight. Have dinner with the emperor."
Who is Zhao Jingran?Those who are prime ministers are all good people. When they heard about this, they knew that they had something to play, so they quickly changed into a look of listening attentively. Li Wende then whispered: "Prime Minister, you understand better than me..." He raised his eyes and smiled at him Laughing, "The emperor said that the future will be long, and he still has to make good use of it with the Northwest King. When the emperor feels that the time has come, he will ask the prime minister to help the emperor."
Zhao Jingran smiled knowingly, and Li Wende also smiled, "Prime Minister, please be safe and don't be impatient."
☆, trip to Lidu ([-])
? Jun Yu took Lin Yi to find a gazebo and sat down, pulling Lin Yi by force, insisting on Ah Yi to sit on his lap.Linyi glared at him, his extremely lethal expression forced the Northwest King to understand him as an angry cat that urgently needs to be groomed.
"Ayi, do you still want to hear me continue?" Northwest King pulled his arm maliciously, you are mine, why don't you let me hug you? "I said so much just now, but it's not free. You have to let me hug you as compensation."
Linyi looked at Junyu sitting on the stool, like a kid asking for candy.He raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of malicious teasing, his chin raised, and he slapped his chest suddenly, "I won't let you hug me, what can you do to me?"
When Jun Yu saw Ah Yi's palm, it was obvious that it was for real, so he quickly jumped up, caught Lin Yi's palm with his left hand, turned around, and brought Lin Yi into his arms, Lin Yi stretched out his hand to block, He raised his foot and was about to kick Jun Yu down...
Jun Yu quickly let go, jumped out of the gazebo, looked at him bitterly, "A Yi, are you serious?"
Linyi folded her arms around her chest, raised her chin to look at him, and narrowed her eyes, "Tell me about your business, why, do you want to sleep on the floor tonight?"
The Northwest King was dumbfounded.
No way, he was captured by his own A Yi's beauty again.How could Ah Yi look so good-looking even when he was angry with him, like a proud cat, as if hugging him and smoothing his fur...
Jun Yu flew over and hugged him.Linyi was a little caught off guard, now it doesn't even work if he is not allowed to go to bed?
Jun Yu kissed Ah Yi's forehead and face, hugged him horizontally, and Lin Yi subconsciously wrapped his arms around his neck.Jun Yu hurriedly sat down on the stool in the gazebo, hugged Lin Yi's waist with both hands, took him into his arms, and said with a smile: "A Yi Moqi, I'll tell you now and continue."
Linyi saw that he hugged him, and she was already on his lap, so she simply gave up resisting, wrapped her arms around his neck, and leaned on his shoulder.Jun Yu hugged him even tighter as if he had been pardoned.
"I've already told Ah Yi what I want to say, what else does Ah Yi want to know?" Jun Yu asked the person in his arms.The relationship between him and his mother is no different from that of an ordinary mother and child. He has already told Ah Yi what he remembers and cherishes.
Linyi thought for a while, "Why don't you like Emperor Qingwu?"
Jun Yu was not surprised by Lin Yi's question, he just thought about his words for a while, and then said:
"When I was young, Emperor Qingwu didn't like me very much. It wasn't because of his tolerant dislike, but because the eunuchs and maids could see the disgust. I heard from the nurse next to my mother that he didn't show up when I was born. After knowing that the baby was an ugly monster, I didn't even go in the Jade Fortune Palace."
His eyes fell on the blooming roses not far away, as if he remembered his mother standing on the steps watching him play in the yard when he was a child.
"My mother treated me no differently since I was a child, so I never knew that I was different from others." Jun Yu's voice was low and soft, warm as if he was telling someone else's story, "Later, when I was five years old, I entered the In the Taiyuan Academy, I met other princes and eunuchs, so I realized that I was ugly. At that time, when Emperor Qingwu was happy, he would go to the Taiyuan Academy to check the homework of the princes. He never ordered me... ..."
"I know I'm ugly, and I can see that he hates me. I don't care about these things. After all, he rarely goes to Yufu Palace. I naturally hate people who make my mother sad, so his approval To me, it doesn't matter."
"Because of his acquiescence, other princes will bully me, as well as those little eunuchs who bully others," Jun Yu said with a smile, "Although I suffered a little from being bullied by them when I was young, I have a very powerful mother My mother always told me not to bully others casually, but also not to allow others to bully me.”
"If they fight, they rarely hit me, and I'm not stupid. If they bully me, I will fight back."
"My mother often tells me that I am Zong Yue's sixth prince, and that I must consider the face of the royal family in everything I do. I cannot be looked down upon as a soft bone."
"Being born in the royal family, one has to experience more than others..." Jun Yu smiled at Lin Yi in his arms, "I think Ah Yi also understands."
Lin Yi nodded, he lowered his eyebrows and remained silent. Although Jun Yu spoke lightly, but a little prince who was not valued by the emperor and even tacitly allowed other princes to bully him, the life in the palace can be imagined. Is that why he cares so much about Emperor Xuanwen who never bullied him?
Jun Yu was stunned for a while, and then said: "Mother's health is not good, it is the root of the disease that fell from the mother's womb, it is not suitable for childbearing, after giving birth to me, the body is even more emaciated, almost every day I have to take medicine to recuperate... ..."
Jun Yu said, "But I have never seen Emperor Qingwu care about his mother. He only comes once a month or two. Even if he does, he will leave within a quarter of an hour."
"Until I was eight years old, my mother was very ill and couldn't last for a few days. She waited anxiously for Emperor Qingwu to come to see her, but he just didn't come. I went to Chengqian Palace and knelt for a day and a night, and my head was broken. , he just appeared." Jun Yu clenched his hands unconsciously, and his voice was filled with restrained anger.
Linyi was strangled very tightly, he moved a little uncomfortable, Jun Yu suddenly felt it, and relaxed, "Mother saw him for the last time as she wished, but he didn't show any expression, even pretending to be sad I think it takes a lot of energy, like the death of someone who has nothing to do with him, and since then, I have hated him."
"I don't want to call him Emperor Father anymore. I even feel disgusted that his blood is flowing in my body. If possible, I would not even take part in his sacrificial ceremony."
After Jun Yu finished speaking, he kissed Ayi's forehead in his arms, lowered his head to the bridge of his nose, looked at each other, and breathed intertwinedly. Jun Yu slowly calmed down his agitated mood.
Unknowingly, the setting sun was about to fall, Li Wende ran over, Jun Yu heard the noise, raised his head, the chief executive not far away lowered his head, and said respectfully, "My lord, son, dinner It's ready, the emperor will send a servant to invite you over."
Jun Yu said: "This king is here."
Li Wende backed out quickly again, according to the rules, he had to lead the way for the Northwest King, and asked him to go there, but it was obvious that the prince was talking with Mr. Lin, so he was too embarrassed to stand in the way.
Linyi stood up, Junyu also stood up, and pulled him out of the gazebo.
Linyi followed him, and suddenly said, "Why did Emperor Qingwu have no heirs in the future, do you know the reason?"
Jun Yu shook his head honestly, "I don't know, didn't I tell you?"
Linyi frowned, looked at him, and asked, "You really don't know?"
Jun Yu nodded vigorously again, and then asked: "Why does Ah Yi think that I must know?"
Linyi shook his head, "Emperor Xuanwen said it was a secret, and he said you might know it."
Jun Yu laughed, and was stunned for a while, "Second Brother said it was a secret, and that is a secret that he knows alone, and it is impossible for others to know."
Linyi looked at him, "If it wasn't for Emperor Qingwu, you wouldn't have been labeled as 'unlucky' by Zhao Jingran. Haven't you thought about rectifying your name?"
Jun Yu was stunned for a while, "The important ministers in the court are not fools. There are a few who believe in supernatural powers and gods. What they want is an excuse. This matter is over, and the fourth brother also has his difficulties. Besides, Didn't Ah Yi already help me avenge him?"
"I didn't expect you to make excuses for Emperor Xuanwen." Linyi stopped, his eyes could poke a hole in Junyu, "Then what do you want me to do, go and do your duty for your second emperor brother."
Jun Yu was so frightened that he quickly hugged him, "A Yi Mo Qi, you know that you are the most important thing in my heart, and I do things for the second emperor brother is just for the sake of brothers, there is no comparison at all."
The heavens can learn from it, the prince has also slipped a lot of words in front of Mr. Lin, and he has changed his previous habit of only blushing and poor words, which is gratifying and congratulatory.
After dinner, it was completely dark, and the night in the palace was even more serious, so solemn that he didn't even dare to take a big breath.The palace lanterns were brilliant, illuminating the path under his feet very clearly. When he left the palace, Jun Yu stopped in his tracks, "I'm sorry to trouble Manager Li, just send it here."
Li Wende quickly smiled humbly, "Where did the prince say it? It's the slave's blessing to send the prince out of the palace."
Jun Yu waved his hand, took Lin Yi's hand and boarded the carriage waiting outside.
Jun Yu's face was faintly very happy, because what Emperor Xuanwen said...
"Zhao Jingran wants to unite with the officials to impeach you for privately mobilizing [-] troops in Yuezhou," Emperor Xuanwen said to Junyu who was standing in front of him with his hands behind his back.
When Jun Yu heard that it was Zhao Jingran, he frowned.
"I have suppressed this matter for the time being," Emperor Xuanwen sighed, "But we still need to find a solution to this matter, that old fox Zhao Jingran, I haven't seen him make a big fuss about this matter for more than half a year , I'm afraid Lidu will attack you after you return."
Jun Yu listened respectfully, and Emperor Xuanwen walked up to the case and said, "Fortunately, his power has been weakened by half in the past few years, and he doesn't have much ability to keep jumping..."
Emperor Xuanwen picked up an imperial decree and walked down again, "I made up an imperial decree for you, you can take it back, and don't make a confession when the time comes."
"Brother Huang?" Jun Yu looked at him in surprise.
"Fortunately, I found out that the ministers have not checked the study room for more than half a year. No one knows how many imperial decrees I have issued. Now I just ask people to add another one." There are records, but basically no one will seriously check and check, because the emperor cannot help courtiers to hide the truth.
Jun Yu looked at the imperial decree in Brother Huang's hand stupidly, and unconsciously his eyes were red.
Seeing his appearance, Emperor Xuanwen laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and handed him the imperial decree in his hand, "This is what Second Emperor Brother should do. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"
Jun Yu stared blankly at the thing in his hand, Lin Yi followed his gaze, it was an inconspicuous brown satin, which seemed to be wrapped in a painting?
Linyi looked at his appearance, thinking that this was something his brothers went to discuss things inside, and what Junyu was holding when he came out should be something given to him by Emperor Xuanwen.
Jun Yu looked at it for a while, put it away, hugged Lin Yi beside him, and rubbed against him like a big dog, "A Yi, I'm so happy, I'm so happy."
Seeing how happy he was, Linyi patted his head, "Well, I can tell."
"Ayi, ask me why I'm so happy? Ask!" Jun Yu looked at him excitedly, his eyes seemed to be shining.
Linyi sighed inwardly, this again?But the face is still fluent, "Why are you so happy?"
So Jun Yu cheerfully told Lin Yi about the imperial decree just given to him by him and the second brother.
Emperor Xuanwen finished his dinner and was still reviewing the memorial. Bai Queqing appeared from behind the screen, "Why did the emperor give an imperial decree to the Northwest King? Wouldn't it be better to take advantage of this reason to seize his military power?"
Jun Zuo was not surprised by his appearance, and still took a pen to criticize, instead of answering, he asked, "How long have you been hiding there?"
"Come here from Zhao Jingran."
Jun Zuo paused for a moment, "I didn't expect Bai Shilang to be so patient?" He stayed from evening until dark, Bai Shilang was very leisurely.
Emperor Xuanwen put down his pen, "He is my brother, and the only brother I can trust in this world. I want his military power, and I don't want to cause rift between brothers. I want him to give it to me willingly."
"Your majesty, you are despicable."
"Hehe," Emperor Xuanwen looked at him, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, "There is no one who knows me better than Bai Shilang."
Bai Queqing bowed her head and looked down, refusing to comment on the emperor's compliment.
"It's a pity that he has Linyi by his side." Emperor Xuanwen shook his head, "I'm afraid he has seen through this little trick of mine..."
Emperor Xuanwen put down his pen and sighed, "Lao Liu is just too honest..."
"My lord is not honest, but he believes in you." Bai Queqing paused, but still said.
"Yes." Emperor Xuanwen nodded, "I don't want to let down this trust either."
☆, trip to Lidu ([-])
? Linyi listened to Jun Yu's cheerful words, and silently gave this big stupid bear a blank look in his heart.If he had considered you wholeheartedly, he would have delivered this edict to you as early as when we were still in Yuezhou, why wait until now?
Especially you idiot, Linyi knocked him on the head, Emperor Xuanwen played a little trick to sell you a little bit, are you so happy?
Linyi could naturally see that Emperor Xuanwen wanted to cherish this brother Junyu, otherwise he would not have made an imperial decree to give such a great benefit.It's just that he understands it, and he still feels very uncomfortable when Emperor Xuanwen did this.
The prince rubbed the place where A Yi had knocked him, and rubbed against his arms, "A Yi, don't you feel happy?"
Lin Yi tapped his head again, you are such a big brown bear, please don't roll around in my arms, okay?
"Of course I'm also very happy." Lin Yi changed the subject, "It's just that Zhao Jingran will come up with another plan if he sees that this plan fails. This person should clean up earlier."
"Ah Yi is right." Jun Yu happily rolled in his arms again.
Lin Yi smiled and let him go.
After a few more days like this, the court hall was calm and there was no sign of a storm. Zhao Jingran felt strange that when the emperor came to court, he didn't have the slightest intention to disturb the Northwest King.The sacrificial ceremony of the first emperor was getting closer, Zhao Jingran couldn't hold back, and after he came down to court, he mentioned this matter to the emperor again.
Emperor Xuanwen fixed his body, pretended to think carefully for a while, and then said, "I forgot what the prime minister said last time. Before the king of Northwest sent troops, he handed me a note, and I agreed."
When Zhao Jingran heard the emperor's words, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that the emperor made it clear that he wanted to renege on the debt, but he couldn't point it out, and stood there with a face that was either red or purple.
"However," Emperor Xuanwen changed his tone, "I will definitely take back the military power in the Northwest King's hands."
Jun Zuo's eyes flickered, and for a while Zhao Jingran was not sure what the emperor meant, so he didn't speak rashly.
Emperor Xuanwen smiled, and looked at Zhao Jingran who was holding back his anger, "Prime Minister, do you still remember what Wende said to you?" He was referring to the time when Zhao Jingran sent Wende to look for him after he impeached the Northwest King. .
Zhao Jingran nodded anxiously.
"The prime minister should understand what I mean, please be patient and don't be impatient." Emperor Xuanwen said, tapping his fingers on the table regularly, his eyes narrowed, like a lion just waking up, "What I have decided , it will be done naturally, the prime minister doesn't have to worry too much, just wait and see what happens."
"Yes." Zhao Jingran's complexion changed, the emperor was warning him.
"If there is nothing else, the prime minister will step down."
"Yes." Zhao Jingran backed out anxiously.
Outside, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. The majesty of the palace was even more majestic under the sun, but Prime Minister Zhao didn't care to appreciate it.
The emperor's intention was obvious, he wanted the military power of the Northwest King, but he didn't intend to kill him.Zhao Jingran sneered, that ugly bastard in the past was his stumbling block, and he tried to use him to bring down Li Wen, but after his death, Li Wen gave the ugly bastard all the military power in his hands.
The old man has been strategizing all his life, and he has never lost before. Ever since this ugly monster appeared, he has never let his heart go!Since the emperor can blatantly play tricks, then he and his officials collectively impeached the Northwest King for arbitrarily mobilizing troops because of male favors, and there is no chance of winning.
That being the case, Zhao Jingran slapped the palace pillar with his palm, and his expression was a little distorted, so don't blame him for being cruel.
"Why didn't the emperor just kill Prime Minister Zhao?" Li Wende bent over and asked with a smile, "I really don't understand why the emperor still keeps him?"
An old minister insisted on getting rid of the Northwest King because of his personal affair. Could it be that he is a fool who can't see the emperor's trust and love for the prince.
Emperor Xuanwen shook his head, and sighed regretfully, "It's so boring to have only one voice in the hall. No one is against me. I will become a foolish king sooner or later."
"This..." Li Wende hesitated. Prime Minister Zhao was self-willed and overjoyed. He was obviously a mediocre minister. Normally, he should find a virtuous minister to fight against him.
Emperor Xuanwen shook his head, "When the first emperor was alive, Zhao Jingran was also conscientious. Now he is confused and has a bad temper. After all, he is also a person who has made great contributions to my Zongyue. How can I kill him as soon as I say, anyway. Now he has not been able to jump for a few days, let him jump for a while."
As long as he doesn't threaten me and Sheji Jiangshan, it doesn't matter if I just watch the show.
There was a smile in Emperor Xuanwen's eyes, but the arc of the corner of his mouth was more like a bloodthirsty grin. Li Wende, who was familiar with the emperor's expression, fell silent. The emperor seldom kills people, because the emperor believes that life is worse than death. Makes death more enjoyable.
Junyu's mansion has always been calm, and everyone has nothing to do to go out for a drink and have fun.It's just that this superficial calm still can't conceal the anxiety of everyone.Everyone knew the real reason for this trip to Lidu. Giving sacrifices to the late emperor was just an excuse. The real intention was to seize the prince's military power.
Wei Wuque didn't need to go to the court, but he could clearly see the wind direction in the court hall.In the past, when the prince was in Lidu, he was just an ugly prince whom everyone hated, with no connections or roots at all.The prince is not a sociable person, so in the court, the only ones who can talk to the prince are Bai Shilang and his grandfather's Li family.
It's just obvious that Bai Shilang will definitely lean towards the emperor. After General Li passed away, all his soldiers and horses were given to the prince. The whole family relies on the glory of the prince, but it is not too close. The prince is also considered in the court. Alone.
At this time Wei Wuque, Bai Queli, Shannan, Shanbei, He Dazhuang, Zhou Shan, Jiang Kai and other lieutenants and leaders were gathering in a room to discuss the current situation.
"The emperor seems to be full of confidence. This military power is waiting for the prince to take the initiative to hand it over." Bai Que left his mouth.
Everyone had an expression of "Is the emperor stupid?" There have been several generals in history who were willing to hand over military power by themselves, and several times they seized military power without bloodshed.
"With the prince's character, it's not impossible." He Dazhuang said.
Everyone was stunned, suddenly realized, they pounded the table one after another, and they all changed into expressions of "my prince looks even more stupid".
"It is an unchangeable fact that the emperor wants military power," Bai Queli continued, "but depending on the relationship between the prince and the emperor, the emperor will not take all of them away. What we have to do is..."
"Try to save as many troops as possible for the prince." Wei Wuque took it.
Bai Queli was stunned for a moment, his eyes dodged, and he nodded after a while.
"The prince sent troops to the northwest at the beginning, with an army of 20. Later, after winning the battle, he recruited another 30, a total of 120. Now the total number of soldiers and horses in Zongyue is 80 million. The prince monopolizes a quarter, and the rest At least 60 soldiers and horses, [-] are in the hands of the emperor himself..."
Bai Queli went on to say: "No matter what you say, the prince can be regarded as the Northwest King who ruled one side. Without the military power, he is still a Northwest King. I am afraid that even the right of 'Yuewang' will be gone."
If the Northwest King who ruled one side didn't even have any soldiers, the prince would be nothing but an empty frame, and everyone would push the wall down, not to mention Zhao Jingran who looked down on the prince.At that time, if he loses his strength, he will be demoted to a commoner by a few ministers in the court in a few years, which is considered trivial.
Everyone was silent and deep in thought, what Military Master Bai said was very reasonable, soldiers and horses could not be kept but not all of them could be handed over, the current plan was to persuade the prince to wait a few more days to see what the emperor meant.
Wei Wuque said, "If I guess correctly, the emperor will leave another [-] soldiers and horses for the prince out of reason. If we can fight for it, we can keep [-]." Keep one third, which should also be This is the biggest concession the emperor can make.
The rest of the people quickly looked at him, "How should we fight for it?"
"What the court can tell the prince is the Li family, don't think about it. Asking them to intercede rashly will only make the emperor think that our prince has more thoughts, and their influence is no longer comparable to that of General Li when he was alive. ’” Wei Wuque said holding his fan against his chin.
Everyone's eyes followed him, Wei Wuque frowned, and looked at Bai Queli, "The only one who has weight in front of the emperor and speaks to the prince without being too abrupt is Bai Que, Qingbai Shilang." The prince used to be in Lidu. At that time, he and Bai Shilang had a good friendship.
Everyone's eyes turned to Bai Queli. After all, Junshi Bai and Shilang Bai are brothers, and they grew up together, so they have a good relationship.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Bai Queli could only nod his head with difficulty, "I'll ask my brother what he means."
Wei Wuque continued: "Of course, it is fine for the prince himself to bring up this matter in front of the emperor."
Everyone looked at Mr. Wei with the same expression, "Could it be that you are also stupid?", and let the prince take the initiative to mention this matter to the emperor? !
"Your Majesty also understands the temperament of the prince. If the prince takes the initiative to mention this matter, the emperor will not feel that there is anything wrong with it, and the possibility of agreeing is very high." Wei Wuque said.
After thinking about it, everyone thought it made sense.
"Then let's go find the prince," He Dazhuang wanted to get up.
"Wait," Wei Wuque said, stopping him, "There is no need to rush this matter, when the emperor wants to take the military power, just let the prince talk about it."
After some discussions among the people, it was decided.
After a few more days like this, the day to offer sacrifices to the late Emperor Qingwu finally arrived.
The sky was cloudless, the sun was shining brightly, the drums were singing, and the musicians were playing music. Emperor Xuanwen was wearing a mighty dragon robe, and all the officials worshiped. Junyu stood behind Emperor Xuanwen, bowed devoutly, and burnt incense. .
In this case, Linyi was not eligible to participate, so he waited for the brown bear to come down from the mountain, and Jun Yu made an agreement with him that after he finished this matter, he would take him to see Concubine Rong.
Lin Yi couldn't sit still, so he got out of the carriage and walked around.This is the imperial mausoleum. There are many tall trees that cannot see the top. In the dense forest not far away, there are birds flying around. The air is inexplicably tense.
Lin Yi frowned...
☆, trip to Lidu ([-])
The officials followed Emperor Xuanwen down the imperial mausoleum, and Jun Yu said directly to Emperor Xuanwen, "My younger brother agreed to take Ah Yi to see his mother, so my younger brother will leave first."
After hearing this, Emperor Xuanwen pondered for a while, "Go."
Jun Yu thanked him, and walked on without slowing down. He really couldn't feel any sadness when facing Emperor Qingwu.
There was obvious restlessness in the air, the sun was in the sky, and the flags around the imperial mausoleum fluttered with the wind, and there was a certain momentum in it.
Xiuzhu also got out of the carriage, and stood under the shade of the tree with the young master.Xiuzhu couldn't help fanning herself with her hands, looking at the steaming heat on the ground, "Today's weather is a bit too stuffy, I guess it will rain in the evening." Obviously the weather has entered August, how could it still be so hot.
Lin Yi looked around, there were guarding soldiers everywhere, except for the cicadas, there was no other sound, Shan Nan Shan Bei was watching the carriage.
"My lord, are you tired?" Xiuzhu asked, "Do you want to get in the carriage and take a rest?"
Lin Yi waved his hand lightly, indicating no need.He is waiting for Junyu here.
Standing there like this, I don't know how long it took, until Xiuzhu said happily: "My lord, the prince has come down."
Jun Yu agreed to go to worship his mother with Linyi, so he didn't walk along the avenue in front with other civil and military officials, but ordered Shannan Shanbei to park the carriage here in a relatively remote place.If you think about it, there are fewer guards. Naturally, there are five steps, one soldier and ten steps and one guard on the main road.
Jun Yu hurried over and hugged Lin Yi, a little annoyed, "Why don't you wait in the carriage? The sun is so hot outside, it's so hot that you can't even shape your body."
Linyi took the handkerchief that Xiuzhu handed over, wiped his face, and said, "I like to wait for you outside."
The Northwest King looked at Linyi wiping his sweat with a smile on his face. He really liked what Ah Yi said, and Ah Yi's movements were so gentle, so he liked it too.Linyi finished wiping his sweat, threw the handkerchief into his arms, and glared at him.Even if you wipe your sweat with an idiotic face, it's really hopeless.
"Let's go, Ah Yi." Jun Yu held Lin Yi's hand with a smile, "We're going to see mother right now."
In a happy mood, Jun Yu dragged Linyi to the direction of the imperial mausoleum.The surrounding dense forest is full of trees, and the further you go in, the quieter it becomes.The prince, who was only concerned about being happy, finally felt that something was wrong.Today, in order to avoid those civil and military officials, he specially chose a relatively secluded road.
Xiuzhu, Shannan, and Shanbei who were following behind also felt that something was wrong. It was too quiet around here, and they couldn't even hear the cicadas singing clearly.
Jun Yu stopped in his tracks and frowned, he had a bad premonition.Suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air, Lin Yi's heart tightened, and he stepped back quickly, Jun Yu flew to avoid it, and a dart was nailed to the trunk behind him.
Jun Yu was startled, he was coming towards him!Shannan Shanbei had already drawn out his long sword and flew up, and the figure on the tree was forced down after a while.
To say the least, there were more than a dozen assassins who landed on the ground, held swords, and flew over to assassinate the Northwest King.Jun Yu backed away with a deep expression on his face. He dared to assassinate the emperor when he came to the imperial mausoleum. It was really not ordinary audacity.
Shannan yelled, "Zhu Zi is so bold that he dared to assassinate the prince inside the imperial mausoleum!"
The leading assassin also snorted, "Take people's money,
After Jun Zuo said this, he glanced at the Yufu Palace again, feeling quite emotional, "I still remember the way you stood in front of the steps reading when you were a child. It is rare for you to enter the palace today, and you will be in the palace later. Let's go after dinner."
Jun Yu looked at Brother Huang's eyebrows and nodded after a while, "Okay."
Emperor Xuanwen patted him on the shoulder again, "Okay, then it's settled."
Li Wende yelled at the right time, "The emperor is driving!" Emperor Xuanwen waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to see him off. Emperor Xuanwen stepped across the threshold, and Junyu and Linyi respectfully sent the emperor out of the palace gate.
Jun Yu strode quickly to Lin Yi's side, grabbed his body and looked around, and asked while looking, "Brother Huang didn't hurt you, did he?"
Linyi kicked him and knocked off his hands that were checking carelessly, "No, how many people in this world can hurt me?"
Jun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, Linyi looked at him, raised the corners of his mouth, and asked, "Don't you trust your second brother? Why are you so nervous when I enter the palace?"
"It's not the same," Jun Yu shook his head resolutely, "Brother Erhuang believes in me, not you. Brother Erhuang is a very sensible person, he knows what to do and what not to do. He is a cautious and The emperor who cares about the overall situation, I'm afraid he will get rid of you for me..."
Linyi saw his seriousness, as if he was warning the little sheep about the worldly affairs.Linyi wanted to laugh, but finally nodded, "I know."
Jun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Yi pulled him over, "Since you're here, tell me about your childhood."
As soon as the Northwest King heard Lin Yi say this, he was worried about him and became anxious. He even rubbed the corner of his clothes, "Ah Yi, are you sure you want to listen?"
Linyi looked at him, taking his expression into his eyes, he stretched out his hand to hold him, "Of course, you can tell me about your mother, haven't I always been curious about how you look so honest?"
"Okay." Jun Yu nodded, his expression changed from nervous to excited, and he pulled Lin Yi around the palace.To be honest, his happy memories are basically given to him by his mother, let alone other things.
The roses in Yufu Palace are also blooming very prosperously, big clusters are red like fire, the bluestone slabs in the yard are neatly paved, and the palace is still tall and majestic, beautiful, even if there is no one there. Live here, and you can see the prosperity at that time.
In Chengqian Palace not far from here, Emperor Xuanwen had to deal with state affairs as usual.
"What did Prime Minister Zhao mean? I didn't hear clearly." Emperor Xuanwen had a memorial spread out in front of him, and he propped his chin and looked at Zhao Jingran below.
"What Weichen means is that the Northwest King has mobilized [-] soldiers and horses without authorization, just for a male favorite. It is really a misfortune for my Zongyue to ignore the laws of my Zongyue and bully the King and his superiors." Zhao Jingran repeated again. Repeatedly, "If you ignore the imperial law like this, you should be severely punished."
Emperor Xuanwen did not speak, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, Zhao Jingran did not raise his head, if he raised his head, he could see Emperor Xuanwen's eyes stabbing him like a knife.After a long time, Emperor Xuanwen said, "Then Prime Minister Zhao thinks how to punish severely?"
"This..." Zhao Jingran rolled his eyes and said, "I dare not speak nonsense."
Emperor Xuanwen sneered in his heart, but still had an imposing face on his face, "Don't dare to speak nonsense... The prime minister is the pillar of my clan, and he can't even understand this matter, so when can you speak, come and tell me!"
After saying that, he threw his notebook on the ground, the sound of the memorial being thrown on the ground was not loud, but Zhao Jingran hurriedly knelt down, "I am guilty!"
The hall was silent, and the maids and eunuchs on duty did not dare to breathe.
"What's the prime minister's crime? I'm the one who's guilty. I'm not familiar with Zongyue's laws, and I still have to ask the prime minister." Emperor Xuanwen sneered, "I have to trouble the prime minister to intervene in such a trivial matter. I'm really guilty. "
Zhao Jingran crouched below, not daring to vent his breath.But I thought in my heart, could it be that he really misunderstood the meaning of the emperor?According to his understanding of the emperor, the Northwest King has the military power, and the emperor will take it back sooner or later.
But now that the Northwest King has a great reputation, the emperor is too embarrassed to do anything about it. The memorial he is playing now just gives the emperor an excuse to move him.Could it be that the emperor really has a deep brotherly love for that ugly monster?
"Prime Minister, if you have nothing else to do, please go back and read more laws when you have time." Emperor Xuanwen raised his eyelids to look at him, and began to correct the memorial again.
"Yes." Zhao Jingran stood up and retreated anxiously.
As soon as Zhao Jingran walked out of the Chengqian Palace, Jun Zuo put down his pen and sneered, "The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, Wende, tell the prime minister that I will keep the Northwest King to eat with me tonight."
"Yes." Li Wende replied, and trotted out of the palace.
Zhao Jingran walked down the palace road indignantly, that ugly bastard made such a big mess this time, how long the emperor can help him hide it, tomorrow the old man will unite with the ministers to appeal, it depends on how the emperor can protect him!
"Prime Minister, wait." Li Wende trotted over.
Zhao Jingran pretended not to hear anything, and then walked forward.
"Prime Minister." Li Wende called out again, and ran up to him.Seeing him coming here, Zhao Jingran was embarrassed and pretended he didn't hear anything, so he stopped and asked in surprise, "When will Eunuch Li find the old man?"
Seeing his posturing, Li Wende sneered in his heart, but his face was still smiling like a spring breeze, "Prime Minister." Li Wende pulled him aside, and whispered: "The emperor asked me to tell you that the prince of Northwest is in the palace tonight. Have dinner with the emperor."
Who is Zhao Jingran?Those who are prime ministers are all good people. When they heard about this, they knew that they had something to play, so they quickly changed into a look of listening attentively. Li Wende then whispered: "Prime Minister, you understand better than me..." He raised his eyes and smiled at him Laughing, "The emperor said that the future will be long, and he still has to make good use of it with the Northwest King. When the emperor feels that the time has come, he will ask the prime minister to help the emperor."
Zhao Jingran smiled knowingly, and Li Wende also smiled, "Prime Minister, please be safe and don't be impatient."
☆, trip to Lidu ([-])
? Jun Yu took Lin Yi to find a gazebo and sat down, pulling Lin Yi by force, insisting on Ah Yi to sit on his lap.Linyi glared at him, his extremely lethal expression forced the Northwest King to understand him as an angry cat that urgently needs to be groomed.
"Ayi, do you still want to hear me continue?" Northwest King pulled his arm maliciously, you are mine, why don't you let me hug you? "I said so much just now, but it's not free. You have to let me hug you as compensation."
Linyi looked at Junyu sitting on the stool, like a kid asking for candy.He raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of malicious teasing, his chin raised, and he slapped his chest suddenly, "I won't let you hug me, what can you do to me?"
When Jun Yu saw Ah Yi's palm, it was obvious that it was for real, so he quickly jumped up, caught Lin Yi's palm with his left hand, turned around, and brought Lin Yi into his arms, Lin Yi stretched out his hand to block, He raised his foot and was about to kick Jun Yu down...
Jun Yu quickly let go, jumped out of the gazebo, looked at him bitterly, "A Yi, are you serious?"
Linyi folded her arms around her chest, raised her chin to look at him, and narrowed her eyes, "Tell me about your business, why, do you want to sleep on the floor tonight?"
The Northwest King was dumbfounded.
No way, he was captured by his own A Yi's beauty again.How could Ah Yi look so good-looking even when he was angry with him, like a proud cat, as if hugging him and smoothing his fur...
Jun Yu flew over and hugged him.Linyi was a little caught off guard, now it doesn't even work if he is not allowed to go to bed?
Jun Yu kissed Ah Yi's forehead and face, hugged him horizontally, and Lin Yi subconsciously wrapped his arms around his neck.Jun Yu hurriedly sat down on the stool in the gazebo, hugged Lin Yi's waist with both hands, took him into his arms, and said with a smile: "A Yi Moqi, I'll tell you now and continue."
Linyi saw that he hugged him, and she was already on his lap, so she simply gave up resisting, wrapped her arms around his neck, and leaned on his shoulder.Jun Yu hugged him even tighter as if he had been pardoned.
"I've already told Ah Yi what I want to say, what else does Ah Yi want to know?" Jun Yu asked the person in his arms.The relationship between him and his mother is no different from that of an ordinary mother and child. He has already told Ah Yi what he remembers and cherishes.
Linyi thought for a while, "Why don't you like Emperor Qingwu?"
Jun Yu was not surprised by Lin Yi's question, he just thought about his words for a while, and then said:
"When I was young, Emperor Qingwu didn't like me very much. It wasn't because of his tolerant dislike, but because the eunuchs and maids could see the disgust. I heard from the nurse next to my mother that he didn't show up when I was born. After knowing that the baby was an ugly monster, I didn't even go in the Jade Fortune Palace."
His eyes fell on the blooming roses not far away, as if he remembered his mother standing on the steps watching him play in the yard when he was a child.
"My mother treated me no differently since I was a child, so I never knew that I was different from others." Jun Yu's voice was low and soft, warm as if he was telling someone else's story, "Later, when I was five years old, I entered the In the Taiyuan Academy, I met other princes and eunuchs, so I realized that I was ugly. At that time, when Emperor Qingwu was happy, he would go to the Taiyuan Academy to check the homework of the princes. He never ordered me... ..."
"I know I'm ugly, and I can see that he hates me. I don't care about these things. After all, he rarely goes to Yufu Palace. I naturally hate people who make my mother sad, so his approval To me, it doesn't matter."
"Because of his acquiescence, other princes will bully me, as well as those little eunuchs who bully others," Jun Yu said with a smile, "Although I suffered a little from being bullied by them when I was young, I have a very powerful mother My mother always told me not to bully others casually, but also not to allow others to bully me.”
"If they fight, they rarely hit me, and I'm not stupid. If they bully me, I will fight back."
"My mother often tells me that I am Zong Yue's sixth prince, and that I must consider the face of the royal family in everything I do. I cannot be looked down upon as a soft bone."
"Being born in the royal family, one has to experience more than others..." Jun Yu smiled at Lin Yi in his arms, "I think Ah Yi also understands."
Lin Yi nodded, he lowered his eyebrows and remained silent. Although Jun Yu spoke lightly, but a little prince who was not valued by the emperor and even tacitly allowed other princes to bully him, the life in the palace can be imagined. Is that why he cares so much about Emperor Xuanwen who never bullied him?
Jun Yu was stunned for a while, and then said: "Mother's health is not good, it is the root of the disease that fell from the mother's womb, it is not suitable for childbearing, after giving birth to me, the body is even more emaciated, almost every day I have to take medicine to recuperate... ..."
Jun Yu said, "But I have never seen Emperor Qingwu care about his mother. He only comes once a month or two. Even if he does, he will leave within a quarter of an hour."
"Until I was eight years old, my mother was very ill and couldn't last for a few days. She waited anxiously for Emperor Qingwu to come to see her, but he just didn't come. I went to Chengqian Palace and knelt for a day and a night, and my head was broken. , he just appeared." Jun Yu clenched his hands unconsciously, and his voice was filled with restrained anger.
Linyi was strangled very tightly, he moved a little uncomfortable, Jun Yu suddenly felt it, and relaxed, "Mother saw him for the last time as she wished, but he didn't show any expression, even pretending to be sad I think it takes a lot of energy, like the death of someone who has nothing to do with him, and since then, I have hated him."
"I don't want to call him Emperor Father anymore. I even feel disgusted that his blood is flowing in my body. If possible, I would not even take part in his sacrificial ceremony."
After Jun Yu finished speaking, he kissed Ayi's forehead in his arms, lowered his head to the bridge of his nose, looked at each other, and breathed intertwinedly. Jun Yu slowly calmed down his agitated mood.
Unknowingly, the setting sun was about to fall, Li Wende ran over, Jun Yu heard the noise, raised his head, the chief executive not far away lowered his head, and said respectfully, "My lord, son, dinner It's ready, the emperor will send a servant to invite you over."
Jun Yu said: "This king is here."
Li Wende backed out quickly again, according to the rules, he had to lead the way for the Northwest King, and asked him to go there, but it was obvious that the prince was talking with Mr. Lin, so he was too embarrassed to stand in the way.
Linyi stood up, Junyu also stood up, and pulled him out of the gazebo.
Linyi followed him, and suddenly said, "Why did Emperor Qingwu have no heirs in the future, do you know the reason?"
Jun Yu shook his head honestly, "I don't know, didn't I tell you?"
Linyi frowned, looked at him, and asked, "You really don't know?"
Jun Yu nodded vigorously again, and then asked: "Why does Ah Yi think that I must know?"
Linyi shook his head, "Emperor Xuanwen said it was a secret, and he said you might know it."
Jun Yu laughed, and was stunned for a while, "Second Brother said it was a secret, and that is a secret that he knows alone, and it is impossible for others to know."
Linyi looked at him, "If it wasn't for Emperor Qingwu, you wouldn't have been labeled as 'unlucky' by Zhao Jingran. Haven't you thought about rectifying your name?"
Jun Yu was stunned for a while, "The important ministers in the court are not fools. There are a few who believe in supernatural powers and gods. What they want is an excuse. This matter is over, and the fourth brother also has his difficulties. Besides, Didn't Ah Yi already help me avenge him?"
"I didn't expect you to make excuses for Emperor Xuanwen." Linyi stopped, his eyes could poke a hole in Junyu, "Then what do you want me to do, go and do your duty for your second emperor brother."
Jun Yu was so frightened that he quickly hugged him, "A Yi Mo Qi, you know that you are the most important thing in my heart, and I do things for the second emperor brother is just for the sake of brothers, there is no comparison at all."
The heavens can learn from it, the prince has also slipped a lot of words in front of Mr. Lin, and he has changed his previous habit of only blushing and poor words, which is gratifying and congratulatory.
After dinner, it was completely dark, and the night in the palace was even more serious, so solemn that he didn't even dare to take a big breath.The palace lanterns were brilliant, illuminating the path under his feet very clearly. When he left the palace, Jun Yu stopped in his tracks, "I'm sorry to trouble Manager Li, just send it here."
Li Wende quickly smiled humbly, "Where did the prince say it? It's the slave's blessing to send the prince out of the palace."
Jun Yu waved his hand, took Lin Yi's hand and boarded the carriage waiting outside.
Jun Yu's face was faintly very happy, because what Emperor Xuanwen said...
"Zhao Jingran wants to unite with the officials to impeach you for privately mobilizing [-] troops in Yuezhou," Emperor Xuanwen said to Junyu who was standing in front of him with his hands behind his back.
When Jun Yu heard that it was Zhao Jingran, he frowned.
"I have suppressed this matter for the time being," Emperor Xuanwen sighed, "But we still need to find a solution to this matter, that old fox Zhao Jingran, I haven't seen him make a big fuss about this matter for more than half a year , I'm afraid Lidu will attack you after you return."
Jun Yu listened respectfully, and Emperor Xuanwen walked up to the case and said, "Fortunately, his power has been weakened by half in the past few years, and he doesn't have much ability to keep jumping..."
Emperor Xuanwen picked up an imperial decree and walked down again, "I made up an imperial decree for you, you can take it back, and don't make a confession when the time comes."
"Brother Huang?" Jun Yu looked at him in surprise.
"Fortunately, I found out that the ministers have not checked the study room for more than half a year. No one knows how many imperial decrees I have issued. Now I just ask people to add another one." There are records, but basically no one will seriously check and check, because the emperor cannot help courtiers to hide the truth.
Jun Yu looked at the imperial decree in Brother Huang's hand stupidly, and unconsciously his eyes were red.
Seeing his appearance, Emperor Xuanwen laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and handed him the imperial decree in his hand, "This is what Second Emperor Brother should do. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"
Jun Yu stared blankly at the thing in his hand, Lin Yi followed his gaze, it was an inconspicuous brown satin, which seemed to be wrapped in a painting?
Linyi looked at his appearance, thinking that this was something his brothers went to discuss things inside, and what Junyu was holding when he came out should be something given to him by Emperor Xuanwen.
Jun Yu looked at it for a while, put it away, hugged Lin Yi beside him, and rubbed against him like a big dog, "A Yi, I'm so happy, I'm so happy."
Seeing how happy he was, Linyi patted his head, "Well, I can tell."
"Ayi, ask me why I'm so happy? Ask!" Jun Yu looked at him excitedly, his eyes seemed to be shining.
Linyi sighed inwardly, this again?But the face is still fluent, "Why are you so happy?"
So Jun Yu cheerfully told Lin Yi about the imperial decree just given to him by him and the second brother.
Emperor Xuanwen finished his dinner and was still reviewing the memorial. Bai Queqing appeared from behind the screen, "Why did the emperor give an imperial decree to the Northwest King? Wouldn't it be better to take advantage of this reason to seize his military power?"
Jun Zuo was not surprised by his appearance, and still took a pen to criticize, instead of answering, he asked, "How long have you been hiding there?"
"Come here from Zhao Jingran."
Jun Zuo paused for a moment, "I didn't expect Bai Shilang to be so patient?" He stayed from evening until dark, Bai Shilang was very leisurely.
Emperor Xuanwen put down his pen, "He is my brother, and the only brother I can trust in this world. I want his military power, and I don't want to cause rift between brothers. I want him to give it to me willingly."
"Your majesty, you are despicable."
"Hehe," Emperor Xuanwen looked at him, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, "There is no one who knows me better than Bai Shilang."
Bai Queqing bowed her head and looked down, refusing to comment on the emperor's compliment.
"It's a pity that he has Linyi by his side." Emperor Xuanwen shook his head, "I'm afraid he has seen through this little trick of mine..."
Emperor Xuanwen put down his pen and sighed, "Lao Liu is just too honest..."
"My lord is not honest, but he believes in you." Bai Queqing paused, but still said.
"Yes." Emperor Xuanwen nodded, "I don't want to let down this trust either."
☆, trip to Lidu ([-])
? Linyi listened to Jun Yu's cheerful words, and silently gave this big stupid bear a blank look in his heart.If he had considered you wholeheartedly, he would have delivered this edict to you as early as when we were still in Yuezhou, why wait until now?
Especially you idiot, Linyi knocked him on the head, Emperor Xuanwen played a little trick to sell you a little bit, are you so happy?
Linyi could naturally see that Emperor Xuanwen wanted to cherish this brother Junyu, otherwise he would not have made an imperial decree to give such a great benefit.It's just that he understands it, and he still feels very uncomfortable when Emperor Xuanwen did this.
The prince rubbed the place where A Yi had knocked him, and rubbed against his arms, "A Yi, don't you feel happy?"
Lin Yi tapped his head again, you are such a big brown bear, please don't roll around in my arms, okay?
"Of course I'm also very happy." Lin Yi changed the subject, "It's just that Zhao Jingran will come up with another plan if he sees that this plan fails. This person should clean up earlier."
"Ah Yi is right." Jun Yu happily rolled in his arms again.
Lin Yi smiled and let him go.
After a few more days like this, the court hall was calm and there was no sign of a storm. Zhao Jingran felt strange that when the emperor came to court, he didn't have the slightest intention to disturb the Northwest King.The sacrificial ceremony of the first emperor was getting closer, Zhao Jingran couldn't hold back, and after he came down to court, he mentioned this matter to the emperor again.
Emperor Xuanwen fixed his body, pretended to think carefully for a while, and then said, "I forgot what the prime minister said last time. Before the king of Northwest sent troops, he handed me a note, and I agreed."
When Zhao Jingran heard the emperor's words, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that the emperor made it clear that he wanted to renege on the debt, but he couldn't point it out, and stood there with a face that was either red or purple.
"However," Emperor Xuanwen changed his tone, "I will definitely take back the military power in the Northwest King's hands."
Jun Zuo's eyes flickered, and for a while Zhao Jingran was not sure what the emperor meant, so he didn't speak rashly.
Emperor Xuanwen smiled, and looked at Zhao Jingran who was holding back his anger, "Prime Minister, do you still remember what Wende said to you?" He was referring to the time when Zhao Jingran sent Wende to look for him after he impeached the Northwest King. .
Zhao Jingran nodded anxiously.
"The prime minister should understand what I mean, please be patient and don't be impatient." Emperor Xuanwen said, tapping his fingers on the table regularly, his eyes narrowed, like a lion just waking up, "What I have decided , it will be done naturally, the prime minister doesn't have to worry too much, just wait and see what happens."
"Yes." Zhao Jingran's complexion changed, the emperor was warning him.
"If there is nothing else, the prime minister will step down."
"Yes." Zhao Jingran backed out anxiously.
Outside, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. The majesty of the palace was even more majestic under the sun, but Prime Minister Zhao didn't care to appreciate it.
The emperor's intention was obvious, he wanted the military power of the Northwest King, but he didn't intend to kill him.Zhao Jingran sneered, that ugly bastard in the past was his stumbling block, and he tried to use him to bring down Li Wen, but after his death, Li Wen gave the ugly bastard all the military power in his hands.
The old man has been strategizing all his life, and he has never lost before. Ever since this ugly monster appeared, he has never let his heart go!Since the emperor can blatantly play tricks, then he and his officials collectively impeached the Northwest King for arbitrarily mobilizing troops because of male favors, and there is no chance of winning.
That being the case, Zhao Jingran slapped the palace pillar with his palm, and his expression was a little distorted, so don't blame him for being cruel.
"Why didn't the emperor just kill Prime Minister Zhao?" Li Wende bent over and asked with a smile, "I really don't understand why the emperor still keeps him?"
An old minister insisted on getting rid of the Northwest King because of his personal affair. Could it be that he is a fool who can't see the emperor's trust and love for the prince.
Emperor Xuanwen shook his head, and sighed regretfully, "It's so boring to have only one voice in the hall. No one is against me. I will become a foolish king sooner or later."
"This..." Li Wende hesitated. Prime Minister Zhao was self-willed and overjoyed. He was obviously a mediocre minister. Normally, he should find a virtuous minister to fight against him.
Emperor Xuanwen shook his head, "When the first emperor was alive, Zhao Jingran was also conscientious. Now he is confused and has a bad temper. After all, he is also a person who has made great contributions to my Zongyue. How can I kill him as soon as I say, anyway. Now he has not been able to jump for a few days, let him jump for a while."
As long as he doesn't threaten me and Sheji Jiangshan, it doesn't matter if I just watch the show.
There was a smile in Emperor Xuanwen's eyes, but the arc of the corner of his mouth was more like a bloodthirsty grin. Li Wende, who was familiar with the emperor's expression, fell silent. The emperor seldom kills people, because the emperor believes that life is worse than death. Makes death more enjoyable.
Junyu's mansion has always been calm, and everyone has nothing to do to go out for a drink and have fun.It's just that this superficial calm still can't conceal the anxiety of everyone.Everyone knew the real reason for this trip to Lidu. Giving sacrifices to the late emperor was just an excuse. The real intention was to seize the prince's military power.
Wei Wuque didn't need to go to the court, but he could clearly see the wind direction in the court hall.In the past, when the prince was in Lidu, he was just an ugly prince whom everyone hated, with no connections or roots at all.The prince is not a sociable person, so in the court, the only ones who can talk to the prince are Bai Shilang and his grandfather's Li family.
It's just obvious that Bai Shilang will definitely lean towards the emperor. After General Li passed away, all his soldiers and horses were given to the prince. The whole family relies on the glory of the prince, but it is not too close. The prince is also considered in the court. Alone.
At this time Wei Wuque, Bai Queli, Shannan, Shanbei, He Dazhuang, Zhou Shan, Jiang Kai and other lieutenants and leaders were gathering in a room to discuss the current situation.
"The emperor seems to be full of confidence. This military power is waiting for the prince to take the initiative to hand it over." Bai Que left his mouth.
Everyone had an expression of "Is the emperor stupid?" There have been several generals in history who were willing to hand over military power by themselves, and several times they seized military power without bloodshed.
"With the prince's character, it's not impossible." He Dazhuang said.
Everyone was stunned, suddenly realized, they pounded the table one after another, and they all changed into expressions of "my prince looks even more stupid".
"It is an unchangeable fact that the emperor wants military power," Bai Queli continued, "but depending on the relationship between the prince and the emperor, the emperor will not take all of them away. What we have to do is..."
"Try to save as many troops as possible for the prince." Wei Wuque took it.
Bai Queli was stunned for a moment, his eyes dodged, and he nodded after a while.
"The prince sent troops to the northwest at the beginning, with an army of 20. Later, after winning the battle, he recruited another 30, a total of 120. Now the total number of soldiers and horses in Zongyue is 80 million. The prince monopolizes a quarter, and the rest At least 60 soldiers and horses, [-] are in the hands of the emperor himself..."
Bai Queli went on to say: "No matter what you say, the prince can be regarded as the Northwest King who ruled one side. Without the military power, he is still a Northwest King. I am afraid that even the right of 'Yuewang' will be gone."
If the Northwest King who ruled one side didn't even have any soldiers, the prince would be nothing but an empty frame, and everyone would push the wall down, not to mention Zhao Jingran who looked down on the prince.At that time, if he loses his strength, he will be demoted to a commoner by a few ministers in the court in a few years, which is considered trivial.
Everyone was silent and deep in thought, what Military Master Bai said was very reasonable, soldiers and horses could not be kept but not all of them could be handed over, the current plan was to persuade the prince to wait a few more days to see what the emperor meant.
Wei Wuque said, "If I guess correctly, the emperor will leave another [-] soldiers and horses for the prince out of reason. If we can fight for it, we can keep [-]." Keep one third, which should also be This is the biggest concession the emperor can make.
The rest of the people quickly looked at him, "How should we fight for it?"
"What the court can tell the prince is the Li family, don't think about it. Asking them to intercede rashly will only make the emperor think that our prince has more thoughts, and their influence is no longer comparable to that of General Li when he was alive. ’” Wei Wuque said holding his fan against his chin.
Everyone's eyes followed him, Wei Wuque frowned, and looked at Bai Queli, "The only one who has weight in front of the emperor and speaks to the prince without being too abrupt is Bai Que, Qingbai Shilang." The prince used to be in Lidu. At that time, he and Bai Shilang had a good friendship.
Everyone's eyes turned to Bai Queli. After all, Junshi Bai and Shilang Bai are brothers, and they grew up together, so they have a good relationship.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Bai Queli could only nod his head with difficulty, "I'll ask my brother what he means."
Wei Wuque continued: "Of course, it is fine for the prince himself to bring up this matter in front of the emperor."
Everyone looked at Mr. Wei with the same expression, "Could it be that you are also stupid?", and let the prince take the initiative to mention this matter to the emperor? !
"Your Majesty also understands the temperament of the prince. If the prince takes the initiative to mention this matter, the emperor will not feel that there is anything wrong with it, and the possibility of agreeing is very high." Wei Wuque said.
After thinking about it, everyone thought it made sense.
"Then let's go find the prince," He Dazhuang wanted to get up.
"Wait," Wei Wuque said, stopping him, "There is no need to rush this matter, when the emperor wants to take the military power, just let the prince talk about it."
After some discussions among the people, it was decided.
After a few more days like this, the day to offer sacrifices to the late Emperor Qingwu finally arrived.
The sky was cloudless, the sun was shining brightly, the drums were singing, and the musicians were playing music. Emperor Xuanwen was wearing a mighty dragon robe, and all the officials worshiped. Junyu stood behind Emperor Xuanwen, bowed devoutly, and burnt incense. .
In this case, Linyi was not eligible to participate, so he waited for the brown bear to come down from the mountain, and Jun Yu made an agreement with him that after he finished this matter, he would take him to see Concubine Rong.
Lin Yi couldn't sit still, so he got out of the carriage and walked around.This is the imperial mausoleum. There are many tall trees that cannot see the top. In the dense forest not far away, there are birds flying around. The air is inexplicably tense.
Lin Yi frowned...
☆, trip to Lidu ([-])
The officials followed Emperor Xuanwen down the imperial mausoleum, and Jun Yu said directly to Emperor Xuanwen, "My younger brother agreed to take Ah Yi to see his mother, so my younger brother will leave first."
After hearing this, Emperor Xuanwen pondered for a while, "Go."
Jun Yu thanked him, and walked on without slowing down. He really couldn't feel any sadness when facing Emperor Qingwu.
There was obvious restlessness in the air, the sun was in the sky, and the flags around the imperial mausoleum fluttered with the wind, and there was a certain momentum in it.
Xiuzhu also got out of the carriage, and stood under the shade of the tree with the young master.Xiuzhu couldn't help fanning herself with her hands, looking at the steaming heat on the ground, "Today's weather is a bit too stuffy, I guess it will rain in the evening." Obviously the weather has entered August, how could it still be so hot.
Lin Yi looked around, there were guarding soldiers everywhere, except for the cicadas, there was no other sound, Shan Nan Shan Bei was watching the carriage.
"My lord, are you tired?" Xiuzhu asked, "Do you want to get in the carriage and take a rest?"
Lin Yi waved his hand lightly, indicating no need.He is waiting for Junyu here.
Standing there like this, I don't know how long it took, until Xiuzhu said happily: "My lord, the prince has come down."
Jun Yu agreed to go to worship his mother with Linyi, so he didn't walk along the avenue in front with other civil and military officials, but ordered Shannan Shanbei to park the carriage here in a relatively remote place.If you think about it, there are fewer guards. Naturally, there are five steps, one soldier and ten steps and one guard on the main road.
Jun Yu hurried over and hugged Lin Yi, a little annoyed, "Why don't you wait in the carriage? The sun is so hot outside, it's so hot that you can't even shape your body."
Linyi took the handkerchief that Xiuzhu handed over, wiped his face, and said, "I like to wait for you outside."
The Northwest King looked at Linyi wiping his sweat with a smile on his face. He really liked what Ah Yi said, and Ah Yi's movements were so gentle, so he liked it too.Linyi finished wiping his sweat, threw the handkerchief into his arms, and glared at him.Even if you wipe your sweat with an idiotic face, it's really hopeless.
"Let's go, Ah Yi." Jun Yu held Lin Yi's hand with a smile, "We're going to see mother right now."
In a happy mood, Jun Yu dragged Linyi to the direction of the imperial mausoleum.The surrounding dense forest is full of trees, and the further you go in, the quieter it becomes.The prince, who was only concerned about being happy, finally felt that something was wrong.Today, in order to avoid those civil and military officials, he specially chose a relatively secluded road.
Xiuzhu, Shannan, and Shanbei who were following behind also felt that something was wrong. It was too quiet around here, and they couldn't even hear the cicadas singing clearly.
Jun Yu stopped in his tracks and frowned, he had a bad premonition.Suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air, Lin Yi's heart tightened, and he stepped back quickly, Jun Yu flew to avoid it, and a dart was nailed to the trunk behind him.
Jun Yu was startled, he was coming towards him!Shannan Shanbei had already drawn out his long sword and flew up, and the figure on the tree was forced down after a while.
To say the least, there were more than a dozen assassins who landed on the ground, held swords, and flew over to assassinate the Northwest King.Jun Yu backed away with a deep expression on his face. He dared to assassinate the emperor when he came to the imperial mausoleum. It was really not ordinary audacity.
Shannan yelled, "Zhu Zi is so bold that he dared to assassinate the prince inside the imperial mausoleum!"
The leading assassin also snorted, "Take people's money,
