Chapter 132
Lord Sun studied farmland water conservancy all his life, and did not have the lofty ambitions of any great minister. However, he married a stupid and greedy legitimate wife, gave birth to an ambitious and violent legitimate son, and also had a sister who wanted to get into the forbidden palace for wealth and honor. The reputation of the Sun family's five generations was destroyed in this way, but he was still unable to turn the world back and forth, so he could only go on the wrong way.
In the past, Lord Sun just stood among the ministers and listened to the lecture. He was very calm. Today, even his hands holding the tablet were shaking. A lot of cold sweat oozed out of the edge of the official hat, dripping down his temples and earlobes. He did not dare to wipe it, so he could only move slightly behind the Minister of Works. When he raised his eyes, he looked at the fourth prince who was moving forward slowly, and was on the spot by the burning ambition town burning in his pupils.
"Is Lord Sun unwell?" The fourth prince looked back and smiled, as graceful as the rumor, kind and generous.
"Xie the Fourth Prince, please be concerned. I'm a little sick, and it's not a big deal." Lord Sun lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at the other party anymore.
"The weather is very cold, so you have to wear more clothes when going out." The Fourth Prince said a little care and went to the front hall. That was where all the princes could stand.
The fifth prince and the sixth prince also arrived one after another. Although they smiled on their faces when they saw each other, countless swords and swords were seen in their eyes. Some of the court officials looked at each other without squinting, some were absent-minded, and some were frantic and ready to move. In short, today's court is still surging like the past, as if an ominous smell of wind and storm is coming in the air.
Emperor Cheng Kang's arrival made the already stagnant atmosphere heavier. He spoke expressionlessly, "If you have something to do, you will leave the court without any trouble."
The fifth prince and the sixth prince refused to give up and incited the court officials to depose the crown prince again. However, they had been fighting for several months, but the crown prince was still firmly sitting in the position of crown prince. At this time, he was a little anxious and said that the crown prince's crimes were unforgivable and that the two young princes should be demoted to common people.
"Kill the Crown Prince?" Emperor Cheng Kang repeated the court officials' requests word by word, with his expression on his face inexplicably.
Lord Sun felt that the already cold air had condensed into frost and snow, and inhaling into his nostrils brought a heart-wrenching pain. He raised his eyes and looked at the fourth prince, but only saw his straight back and his hands clenching into fists in his sleeves.
He withdrew his gaze and buried his already low head down again. He vaguely heard the sound of soldiers stepping and swords colliding in his ears, and felt that it might be his own illusion.
Emperor Cheng Kang sat in the upper position for a long time and did not speak. He only looked at his sons who had become an adult ruler with a strange and creepy look. The fifth and sixth princes who were still making generous speeches gradually faded, and he didn't dare to speak. Emperor Cheng Kang suddenly curled his lips and smiled slowly, turning his head slowly to look at the fourth prince. Seeing that he was neither humble nor arrogant, he stood calmly, the smile at the corner of his lips became deeper, and the coldness in his eyes became more intimidating.
The fourth prince's hand, which was clenched into fists, made a clicking sound. Just as he was about to slowly lift it up, he saw a guard running into the hall, shouting, "Your Majesty, the victorious soldiers have returned to the court and waited at the city gate. Can you ask when the emperor will enter the city?"
"Okay, we're finally back!" Emperor Cheng Kang withdrew his gaze and laughed loudly, and said with a trembling sleeve, "Let's stop the court for now, my dear friends will follow me to the palace gate to welcome the heroes of the Han Dynasty!" If it weren't for the ill health, he should have led the ministers to the city gate to welcome him.
"Victory? Return to the court? Didn't the Western Xinjiang be defeated and seek peace? Why did it win again?" The court officials were talking. A month ago, when the war reports came, saying that the Han army had lost two cities in a row, the Western barbarians had sent a message to the Han Dynasty to discuss peace. The storm of the deposed prince was a sensation. Most of the court officials advocated peace. The emperor also sent the head of the Lifanyuan to go to the Western Xinjiang to discuss the contract.
Why did he win in just a few months? And hundreds of thousands of troops set off to Beijing, and no news was leaked along the way. This was someone who deliberately blocked the eyes and ears of the people in the capital. Looking at the entire man, who has such control over the heaven and earth? Who can play the civil and military officials in the court, including all the princes? And what is his purpose?
The court officials looked up at Emperor Cheng Kang on the throne. Some looked horrified, some were excited, and some were full of despair.
Emperor Cheng Kang put the expressions of the people into his eyes, and then stepped onto the imperial chasing and headed towards the palace gate. The ministers followed one after another, and several of them fell because of their weak legs and could not get up for a long time.
Lord Sun looked at the fourth prince reflexively as if he was ashes and his heart was as dry as a dead tree, but he saw that he was still so mature and steady, as if the army was still approaching Ben as he expected.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were waiting in the suburbs of Beijing, forcing the palace, and forcing the palace? I am afraid that the imperial city would be slashed by the army that had not yet faded out of its blood in the next moment. Is it a coincidence that the emperor made such a arrangement? It seems not! He actually saw everything in his eyes, but he just couldn't send it.
Either lie dormant and wait or die with one blow. This has always been the emperor's style of conduct. The court officials who were still quarreling in the court just now were like gourds with their mouths sawed, and they didn't dare to say a word.
------------
Yu Pinyan rode a horse and stood at the towering city gate. Behind him were black soldiers with invisible edges. Everyone had a solemn expression, holding the cold sword and halberd in his hand. The killing aura created by blood on the battlefield made the yamen guarding the city unable to breathe.
They had white faces and frequently tiptoed to look into the direction of the imperial city, hoping that the eunuchs who had sent the order would come over quickly. Especially the officials standing under Yu Pinyan's horse, the cold weather seemed to be poured with a can of water, and cold sweat kept dripping along the ends of their hair.
After several battles, Yu Dutong's murderous intent became heavier, and his eyes were dark and there was no emotion that humans should have. Instead, it was more like a Rakshasa or a walking weapon. When he looked down, his indifferent and cold eyes seemed to be looking at a dead object.
"Why haven't the imperial edict come yet? Send someone to the palace to report the news!" The official couldn't stand it and grabbed someone and shouted.
Yu Pinyan was as motionless as a mountain, but his horse spewed out a breath of white air, as if he was a little impatient. Just then, several figures suddenly appeared on the city wall, holding a handkerchief in his hand and kept waving.
"Who is on it? Who allowed you to let people go? Why don't you chase them away!" The officials wanted to pull those people down when they saw it. This was a large army's army returning to the court, not a monkey trick that people could watch casually.
But when he met, Yu Dutong suddenly spoke, "That is my marquis' family, please be kind to you."
The yamen runners who were about to drive out the people were petrified, and the official who issued the order was almost scared and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to apologize. Yu Pinyan waved his hand lightly, and his cold eyes softened when they touched the much older face of his ancestor. He looked at Yu Siyu, Ma Ma and others next to him, and finally stopped on the pretty and bright face.
It can be seen that she dressed up deliberately today, her hair piled up like clouds into a delicate cross bun, and a blooming peony flower was dotted between her cross hair, but her face was more eye-catching than the peony. She was poking out half of her body, holding a small handkerchief and waving her constantly, and the smile on the corners of her lips was brighter than the winter in the sky.
Yu Pinyan frowned and waved her hand. She immediately retracted her body and lay down on the stone railing. She seemed to feel that there was nowhere to express her joy. She suddenly kissed her palm and then made a push gesture.
Yu Pinyan's eyesight was extraordinary, and he captured the bright red lips in her palm. The lips suddenly became slightly hot, and it felt as if she had kissed her through the air, and it also brought a lot of love. Yu Pinyan's tense lips finally rose, revealing a smile that was enough to charm women all over the world, and his already handsome face shone brightly in the winter.
The officials watched the peerless weapon turn into a flesh-and-blooded person in a flash, and the pressure in their hearts suddenly decreased. Just then, the eunuch who sent the order arrived, Yu Pinyan dismounted and immediately led 5,000 soldiers into the capital, while the rest were still stationed outside the city.
The old lady came down from the city wall, her waist was no longer sore, and her legs were no longer hurt. Seeing that her grandson was intact and she had no illness. Yu Xiang was holding her and was about to return to the Shen family, but she saw a row of soldiers running over quickly. The man started to kneel down and said, "Report to the old lady, the commander is the commander to take you back to the Yongle Marquis' Mansion." After saying that, he signaled the few people to get on the carriage.
"Hasn't the Marquis' Mansion been sealed?" The old lady's eyes shone with surprise.
"The emperor has issued an imperial edict, and he will unseal the Hou's Mansion just when the commander returns to the capital."
"Okay, okay, go quickly, I can finally go home!" The old lady cried with joy and couldn't wait to get on the carriage.
Because Emperor Cheng Kang blocked the news, no one in the capital learned that the army was about to return. At this time, the three families were welcoming guests happily. Zhuo was sitting in the hall wearing a big red brocade robe, holding Chang Yafu's hand and looking at it constantly, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and Fu'er is really falling like a lotus flower."
Chang Yafu lowered her head shyly, but Yu Pinhong's wife Lu sneered, "This is also called good-looking. Are you a lame person? Have you never met Miss Shen's family? That's what she is so beautiful that she looks beautiful. When I looked at her on the street that day, I couldn't even walk. Even if I like Miss Chang, I was still a person who lost his virginity before marriage."
Although Lu's father was just a small family, without his care, the group of wastes that could not be carried on his shoulders and could not be lifted by the Yu family had long been starved to death in Shu. Unexpectedly, they had become powerful and planned to marry another wife for Yu Pinhong, and they were simply fooled by Lu as a fool. Let Chang Yafu enter the door, Lu realized that sooner or later he would be punished by the other party, so it would be better to take action first.
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was quiet. When Chang Yafu's sob came, Duke Jingguo's wife suddenly started to shout, "Where did you hear this? It's simply nonsense!"
