"So many things happened in a court meeting, I'm a little tired. That's it for today, let's dismiss the court!" After that, the eldest prince waved his hand, personally picked up Duan Wenyuan, who had not yet woken up, and nodded towards Wandong. He nodded, left the ministers behind, and walked out quickly.
"Master Wan, what is going on?" As soon as Duan Yanlong left, Chang Wen couldn't wait to walk up to Wan Dong and asked in a low voice.
Wandong shook his head and shouted at the civil and military ministers who were still unable to recover, "His Highness has already said that the court is dismissed, haven't you heard? Why are you still staying here? Are you waiting for His Highness to invite you to dinner? Let's disperse." "
On the surface, the eldest prince is the protagonist of everything that happened today, but in fact, Wan Dong is the real driving force. And all the ministers have seen with their own eyes how powerful Wandong is. Even powerful people like Yaozun have fallen into trouble, let alone them.
As soon as Wandong finished speaking, it was really a good idea. The civil and military ministers immediately withdrew from the hall, and no one dared to stay again.
"Haha... Mr. Wan, it won't take long for you to become the upstart of the Iron War Dynasty, and you will be able to dominate the Imperial City." Chang Wen was naturally an exception. At this time, he gave Wan Dong a thumbs up with a smile on his face and said .
Wandong shook his head and said, "Do you think I am willing? If I don't do this, this Iron War Dynasty will fall into the hands of the Jin family and Yuntianmen sooner or later! Oh, by the way, Chang Wen, we wrongly blamed the eldest prince, and it hurt grandma It was not the eldest prince, but Yaozun. Now that Yaozun is dead, he has avenged grandma!"
When Wan Dong said this, Chang Wen's face immediately revealed a lot of doubts, and he quickly asked, "Master Wan, what is going on, can you tell me?"
Wan Dong nodded and told Chang Wen the tragedy of Duan Yanlong appearing to be majestic but actually being a puppet of the Jin family. Finally, he said, "Speaking of which, it's not easy for the eldest prince to bear the humiliation and bear the burden."
When Chang Wen heard this, he clicked his tongue and slapped his forehead hard. His expression was full of annoyance, "I always felt that something was wrong before, but I never thought about it deeply. After Mr. Wan said this, those things that are wrong The place is obviously suspicious! If I had been able to catch it, I might have exposed this secret long ago. But it’s true that Huo Tong and I are both his right-hand men, but he has kept it secret from us until now. "
Wandong sighed softly and said: "Isn't it for your own good that the eldest prince is hiding this from you? If you had known about it a long time ago, based on your loyalty to the eldest prince, the Jin family and Yuntianmen would have killed him early in the morning. you."
"Young Master Wan is right! The Jin family and Yuntianmen are really abominable! Fortunately, God has the foresight to send Mr. Wan here. Otherwise, I would have died in the hands of Gao Zifu today. Mr. Wan, are you okay? Save my life, come on, I’ll buy you a drink!”
Wan Dong smiled, held Chang Wen down and said, "You can drink anywhere, why go outside the palace? Besides, it's not a good idea if we leave the eldest prince alone, right?"
Chang Wen laughed and said, "I didn't think well! The deaths of Yaozun and Gao Zifu will definitely make the Jin family and Yuntianmen furious, and they may do something crazy. At this time, Mr. Wan really cannot leave the palace. Then Okay, let’s go find the eldest prince and have a drink.”
"What, you want to stay? If the Jin family and Yuntianmen go crazy, it will be very dangerous."
"So what? I, Chang Wen, am not scared! Besides, with Mr. Wan here, what do I have to worry about?" This Chang Wen was quite heroic at the critical moment. This was probably the same as Wan Dong's. A reason to befriend him.
"Okay! Let's go!"
After a turnaround today, Duan Yanlong naturally couldn't let Duan Wenyuan live in the servants' place anymore, so he directly took Duan Wenyuan back to his palace.
Looking at Duan Wenyuan, who was snoring and sleeping soundly, Duan Yanlong felt as if he was in a dream. Last night, the father and son were still wandering on the road to death. Today, things are booming and glory has returned. If such a huge contrast happens to anyone, I am afraid there is no way to deal with it indifferently.
Holding Duan Wenyuan's hand, Duan Yanlong's tears flowed down. A taste called sweetness after bitterness fermented rapidly in his heart and became out of control.
"Your Highness! I and General Wan are here asking for a drink! Hahaha..." Room-temperature laughter sounded outside the palace.
Duan Yanlong hurriedly tucked Duan Wenyuan into bed, wiped the tears from his eyes, and walked out quickly.
As soon as he opened the door, Duan Yanlong saw Chang Wen and Wan Dong standing side by side, acting very familiarly. He couldn't help but feel slightly surprised and asked, "You guys..."
At this time, there was no need to hide it anymore. Chang Wen smiled proudly and said, "Your Highness, maybe you don't know yet? Young Master Wan and I have actually known each other for a long time. And Young Master Wan is still my savior!" hehe… "
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" This was really the first time Duan Yanlong heard about it, and his voice was full of surprise.
Wandong nodded and said, "Is the emperor awake?"
Duan Yanlong shook his head and was about to speak when Duan Wenyuan's voice suddenly came from the palace, "Yanlong, where are you?"
Hearing Duan Wenyuan's call, Duan Yanlong seemed to be electrocuted and rushed back to the room. He happened to see Duan Wenyuan slowly sitting up.
"Father, you have just recovered from a serious illness. You should rest more and lie down quickly!" Duan Yanlong hurriedly rushed over and supported Duan Wenyuan.
Looking at Duan Yanlong, Duan Wenyuan's eyes revealed a touch of deep care, and he smiled and said, "Why, do you think my father has not been lying in bed long enough? It's time for my father to stand up. After all these sufferings, I can’t let you carry it alone anymore.”
"Father...Father!" As soon as Duan Wenyuan said these words, Duan Yanlong's eye sockets immediately heated up, and tears poured out uncontrollably.
Duan Wenyuan gently wiped away Duan Yanlong's tears and said, "Stop crying, you did a good job, and my father is proud of you!"
"I, Chang Wen, come to see my emperor. Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!" Chang Wen, who was standing aside, was also very moved. He knelt down with a pop and chanted in a loud voice.
Duan Wenyuan waved to Chang Wen and said in a very kind voice, "Chang Aiqing, although my body cannot move, my mind is clear. I am fully aware of everything you have done for Yanlong over the years. Ming, I’m very grateful. Come on!”
"Your Majesty, with your words, I will never give up even if I die!" After saying this, Chang Wen kowtowed to Duan Wenyuan again.
Duan Wenyuan said hurriedly, "Yanlong, hurry up, help Chang Aiqing up for your father."
"Yes, Father!" Duan Yanlong helped Chang Wen up and shook Chang Wen's hand tightly. All his gratitude was reflected in it, making Chang Wen's heart feel hot.
"Is this the benefactor who cured me?" Duan Wenyuan's eyes fell on Wandong.
Wan Dong did not expect that Duan Wenyuan still maintained consciousness when he was unconscious. This is not easy at all. It not only requires strong vitality, but also a will stronger than steel. This alone is enough to show Duan Wenyuan's extraordinaryness and win Wandong's respect!
Just as Wandong was about to step forward to salute, Duan Wenyuan suddenly stood up. Perhaps his feet had not touched the ground for a long time. Duan Wenyuan was not used to it for a while, and his body swayed and seemed slightly unstable. Duan Yanlong subconsciously reached out to help, but was blocked by Duan Wenyuan.
"No need! I can stand still!"
no sooner said than done! Duan Wenyuan suddenly gritted his teeth, and his swaying figure immediately froze, motionless, like a steel gun!
"Benefactor, please accept Wenyuan's bow!" Duan Wenyuan stood up and bent down towards Wandong.
Wan Dong may not care about Duan Wenyuan's status as the king of the country, but he cannot care about him as an elder. What's more, Duan Wenyuan's strong will that can never be destroyed by a hundred attempts made Wandong admire him even more. He hurriedly stepped forward and helped him.
"Your Majesty, how can Wandong bear your bow?"
Duan Wenyuan waved his hand, looked at Wan Dong with eyes, and said, "I bow this time not because you saved me, Duan Wenyuan, nor because you saved my Duan family, but because you saved me, Tie Zhan." Billions of people of the dynasty! You have made such great merits, let alone a mere tribute, I will not hesitate even if you take my life!"
At this time, Wen Yuan's eyes were unusually hot and bright. In it, Wandong actually saw the light he had seen in the eyes of Shangguan Yunlong, the emperor of Tiandu Kingdom. That is a deep love for the common people, and it is the most precious thing for a king!
Seeing such a look, Wan Dong only had one thought in his mind - Duan Wenyuan, he didn't make a mistake!
"Young Master Wan, your father is right, you can bear this bow!" Duan Yanlong said, kneeling in front of Wan Dong, and kowtowed three times. The movements were respectful and crisp, leaving no chance for Wandong to stop him.
"Your Highness, what are you..."
Wan Dong hurriedly tried to help Duan Yanlong up, but was avoided by Duan Yanlong. Duan Yanlong said, "My father has taught me since I was a child that the people are the most important, followed by the country, and the king is the least important! As a king, you can't seek benefits for the people, but also return the favor." How can I stand between heaven and earth? Even if my name is recorded in the history books, it is still a bad name! It is my blessing to thank Mr. Wan on behalf of the people of the world!"
"Well said! Well said, Yanlong! With your words, I am very happy as a father!" After hearing Duan Yanlong's words, Duan Wenyuan was very happy and praised him endlessly.
However, Wandong's face was burning. If compared with the awareness of the father and son, Wandong's awareness is really a bit low.
Wandong has done so much to rescue Xu Tianlong, to prevent Tiandu Kingdom from being invaded, and to help Duan Lengyan ascend to the throne. Wandong never seemed to have thought that he should fight for the Iron War Dynasty. He did this for hundreds of millions of people, although he also had some sympathy for the people of the Iron War Dynasty... (To be continued)
