After being given a marriage to a rival

Chapter 98

There was a brief silence in the hall.

?? Emperor Sheng Yuan took a deep look at Yuan Li, and said: "There are many people who are familiar with the situation in the northern border. I can transfer people from the Ministry of War for you."

?? Yuan Li: "I only want the big brother."

?? The muscles on Emperor Shengyuan's face twitched.

?? "He has a dull temperament and doesn't understand military affairs at all."

?? Yuan Li twitched his lips, showing disappointment unabashedly: "What are you afraid of, father? As a prince, going to the front to supervise the battle, isn't it the elder brother's duty? Among the soldiers, how many of them are born to understand military affairs. What's more, when the elder brother was taught under the command of King Changsheng, didn't he also participate in several large and small battles? I believe that as long as he goes to the battlefield in northern Xinjiang, the elder brother's body will His blood and courage will be inspired. My son also believes that with his generous temperament, he will be willing to set an example and go to the front line to boost the morale of the soldiers."

?? There were two deep lines at the corners of Emperor Shengyuan's mouth.

?? After a long time, he sighed, "Prince, what do you want to do?"

??Yuan Li's eyes are clear and straight: "My son said that I want to fight for the country with my elder brother."

?? Emperor Sheng Yuan's last trace of patience also dissipated.

"Prince, don't force me. He is the eldest son of the emperor, and you are the prince of a country. A prince always opposes his elder brother. Don't forget your identity!"

??"No."

?? Yuan Li sneered: "Erchen's eldest brother died in Luoyue Ridge in the northern border many years ago, and there is no body left. When he died, his chest was full of iron arrows from the enemy, and there was no one around him. Like thousands of soldiers who died for the country, he buried his body and soul on the desolate battlefield in the north. Maybe his father has forgotten how he died, but his son will never die. Will not forget."

??The hands of Emperor Shengyuan who supported the case trembled slightly.

?? Seeing that the situation was not right, Eunuch Luo came in lightly and said, "Your Majesty, there are still papers waiting to be approved at the Palace of Qinzheng..."

?? "You don't need to rescue him."

?? Emperor Shengyuan's voice was low and hoarse: "Let him talk. I want to see how much resentment and hatred he has hidden towards me."

?? "I dare not resent."

??Yuan Li looked directly at the emperor behind the case: "I just want justice."

?? Emperor Sheng Yuan was a little helpless: "Do you have to do it this way?"

?? Yuan Li smiled lightly.

There was a flash of water in his eyes: "Then, what kind of method do you think the son should do? Over the years, the father has used your power and majesty to protect his mother and son tightly under your wings. The minister will harm their mother and son. The minister can turn a blind eye or bear it. Now that the border is unstable, the minister just wants to invite his elder brother to go to the northern border with him and serve as a guide for the minister. How will the father guard against the minister? Is it? Father always says that his subjects are disregarding the overall situation, but since father is the king of a country, isn't this behavior interfering with public affairs with personal affection?"

??Eunuch Luo was terrified when he heard it, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, be careful."

?? "Gu has been cautious for many years."

?? "However, the soul of my brother is still there, crying every night in the lonely dream, and I can no longer shrink back, nor can I tolerate it any longer."

?? "Enough." Emperor Sheng Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, and dropped the beads in his hand.

Emperor Shengyuan sternly said: "It's fine for you to talk to me privately, don't let me hear it again. Since ancient times, brothers' feuds have been the root cause of the downfall of a family, let alone the royal family. I know, you are right Yuan Su's death was bitter, and he blamed Yuan Yue. You hated him for escaping by himself and not taking back Yuan Su's body. But Yuan Yue was also a victim. He was a dull and honest character, not a brave one. Man, when he came back from the Northern Territory, he knelt outside the hall to plead guilty to me because of this incident. He fell ill on his knees and was overly frightened. He recuperated in the mansion for half a year before recovering. Now you insist on dragging him to the Northern Territory , other than stimulating his illness, what else can it do. Prince, you should put it down. I will not approve the trip to the northern border, and I will choose another person to accompany Qing Yang and Wen Yuan to escort the eldest prince Shuoyue to the north."

?? "During this time, you should stop meddling in court affairs, go back to the East Palace, and think about it."

?? After Emperor Shengyuan finished speaking, he left in a huff.

?? Duliu Yuanli knelt upright in the hall.

?? Eunuch Luo stomped his feet lightly, looked at this, then at that, finally sighed, hurried out of the hall, and caught up with Emperor Shengyuan in front of him.

?? Emperor Shengyuan stood on the railing.

??Looking at the distant sky in a daze, as if talking to himself, asked: "Do you also think that I am too heartless?"

?? Eunuch Luo's eyes turned red.

"This old slave knows that His Majesty also misses the Second Prince very much in his heart. If not, he wouldn't be able to sit in the Empress's Fengyi Palace every year on the anniversary of the Second Prince's death."

?? Emperor Shengyuan smiled wryly.

"But as a father, I can't even find his bones."

Eunuch Luo secretly wiped away his tears: "The second prince died in Luoyue Ridge, which is the junction of Dajing and Shuoyue. This old slave knows that His Majesty is not willing to let more soldiers die for this."

?? "The servant just doesn't understand. His Highness misses the Second Prince so much, and it's understandable that he wants to go to the northern border. Why doesn't His Majesty allow it?"

??Emperor Shengyuan's eyes immediately showed the calmness and coldness unique to emperors.

"You look at him, does he seem to be going to supervise the army? Last year, I listened to his words and asked him to go to supervise the army. The original intention was to take the opportunity to ease the conflict between him and the Changsheng Palace. As a result, he spent most of the time in secret Investigating the cause of Yuan Su's death made everyone in the army panic, and everyone felt in danger. He was too sentimental, and suffered a serious injury when he was young, so he always thought that someone deliberately killed Su'er. After Su'er's accident, Qing Yang carefully investigated the matter and found nothing unusual. Could it be that he is more familiar with the northern border army than Qing Yang? I was afraid that he would be blinded by his own demons, and that he would hurt the soldiers in vain. Heart. I'm even more afraid, he got confused for a while, and wanted to pull Yue'er to be buried with Su'er."

?? "What I want is a prince who can tolerate others, not a prince who only knows how to retaliate and take personal revenge."

?? "I have given him many opportunities, including this marriage with the Changsheng Palace, which he does not know how to cherish. If he still insists on going his own way and does not realize his faults at all, I don't mind. I will choose another candidate for the crown prince."

?? Luo Gonggong's complexion changed slightly.

??Emperor Shengyuan glanced at him: "I know that you feel sorry for him, but I am the emperor, and I must be responsible to the country and the people. These words, I can only talk to you."

?? "The old slave knows."

?? Eunuch Luo's eyes are sore again.

?? "The old slave just feels that His Majesty is suffering, and His Highness is also suffering."

?? Emperor Shengyuan said leisurely: "How many people in this world are not suffering. I just hope that the queen will not blame me."

??————

?? "Heir? Little son?"

??Kneeling in front of the bed, Yun Wu tried his best to wake up the young man who was still unconscious in the bed tent, his voice full of anxiety.

??Yun Yang couldn't wake up at first, but there was a window in the room that was left open. As the night gradually fell, the cool mountain breeze also came through the window.

??Yun Yang was woken up by a sudden thrust in his stomach.

??Yun Wu immediately said pleasantly: "Xiao Shizi finally woke up!"

??Yun Yang opened his eyes, his head was a little stuck, and he looked out the window at the dark night.

?? It's weird.

??He is having breakfast with Prince Dog, why is it getting dark suddenly.

?? Yun Yang rubbed his temples and sat up under the quilt.

??Ask Yun Wu: "What time is it?"

?? "It's the end of the unitary hour."

??Yun Yang couldn't believe it: "Did I sleep for so long?"

"Yes. His Royal Highness said that Xiaoshizi had a sudden heart attack and needed to rest in bed. His subordinates kept guarding outside the door, not daring to disturb him. Just now he saw that Xiaoshizi didn't wake up after a day's sleep. He was really worried, so he secretly Sneak in and call Xiao Shizi."

?? "Heart attack?"

?? "Well, His Royal Highness said so."

??Yun Yang suddenly fell silent.

?? Yun Wu: "What? Does Xiao Shizi feel uncomfortable?"

??Yun Yang didn't make a sound, stared at the thick darkness outside the window for a while, quickly put on his shoes and socks and got out of bed, then wrapped his cloak around him, and said, "You go out with me."

?? "Where are you going?"

?? "Go and see Rouge."

??The two went downstairs together and came to the stairs.

?? Two young men dressed as guards immediately blocked the way, one left and one right, and respectfully said: "His Royal Highness has ordered that the princess should rest in the spring room and try not to go out."

?? Yun Wu knew that they were the guards of the Eastern Palace.

?? He frowned and said, "Our little prince just wants to see that horse named Rouge."

?? The guards looked at each other.

?? Said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not explained this matter. Please also ask the Crown Princess to go back to her room to rest, so as not to embarrass my subordinates."

??Yun Wu was furious, and was about to continue arguing, when Yun Yang said, "It's okay, let's go back first."

??Yun Wu walked with Yun Yang for a while, and couldn't help but said, "What's wrong with Xiao Shizi..."

?? Yun Yang interrupted him: "Tell me everything that happened during the time I fell asleep."

?? At this moment, Yun Wu finally realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly told Yuan Li that he came over in the afternoon and borrowed all the other guards from Changsheng Palace.

?? Yun Yang sat cross-legged on the bed.

?? Hearing this, ask: "Did he take all the others?"

"Yes, the prince said that he wanted to hunt some wild game in the forest to offer to His Majesty, but there is not enough manpower. He hoped to borrow some people from us. His subordinates believed it and agreed."

?? Yun Wu regretted unceasingly: "Yun Liu and those generals have not returned yet, presumably they were all detained by the Crown Prince privately. It's just...why did the Crown Prince do this?"

?? "I'm afraid it's to control me."

?? "Control Xiao Shizi?"

"Yeah." Yun Yang didn't know whether to be angry or disappointed: "In the morning, he took He Lishu away, saying that the regulations were wrong and they needed to be changed."

??"this……"

??Yun Yang opened his eyes wide in astonishment: "Xiao Shizi means that the crown prince will go back on his word and force Xiao Shizi to stay in the imperial capital?"

"I'm afraid so."

?? "But what good does this do for the prince? This is an anti-decree."

??"I don't know either."

??Yun Yang lowered his eyelids and stared at the ground angrily: "Maybe, from the very beginning, he didn't want to let me go back. Maybe, Yan Zhi's illness is also a lie he made up to deceive people. He won't show up again in the end, otherwise I will -"

?? Yun Yang's voice paused.

??Because I saw Yuan Li who appeared at the door of the room at some time.

?? The two looked at each other silently for a moment.

?? Yun Yang turned her head angrily.

?? Yuan Li walked in silently, holding a bowl of steaming medicine in his hand, and said to Yun Wu: "You go out first, I have something to say, I have to talk to Yang Yang alone."

??The author has something to say: Thank you for your support.
