General Fuyuan Qin Zheng defeated the enemy army on the frontier and gained a great reputation. Coupled with the tens of thousands of troops under the Marquis Dingyuan, the emperor, who had gradually calmed down the border troubles and put down his worries, became suspicious again.
The cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden. This sentence has always been the most feared motto of the generals who held heavy soldiers in ancient times, but it always comes true. Few people can successfully retreat bravely and save their families. Wealth and glory, peace and prosperity.
The emperor began to imply that civil servants frequently attacked Dingyuanhou, and Dingyuanhou's mansion soon became jittery again after the news of victory came. The current emperor was not fatuous, but he was too impatient. Regardless of the opposition, he quickly embarked on his own plan to take back military power and suppress the forces of Marquis Dingyuan.
In order to ensure that his mission will not fail completely, what Sui Yuan has to do now is to try his best to help Qin Zheng and others prolong the preparation time for the rebellion according to the plot, and protect the safety of the old, weak, women and children in Dingyuanhou's mansion in central Beijing.
Prince Anhe, who has always been ignorant of government affairs, began to frequent the palace and the mansions of important ministers. For the first time, he showed his outstanding eloquence and political talent. No matter how much truth can be said, it is impossible to refuse.
Gradually, the forces of the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence began to gather around him, driven by his protection, and repeatedly refuted the crimes committed on Marquis Dingyuan. the actions of the emperor.
Sui Yuan firmly held the moral high ground, euphemistically persuading the emperor not to act too hastily, to recover military power step by step, and not to hurt the hearts of the veterans who are loyal to the country and the blood of defending the country.
"I understand what you're talking about... But how can I allow others to snore on the couch? If the military power has not returned, I will not be able to sleep at night..." The emperor who is over half a century old is getting older, and he caressed gently with emotion. The long hair of Sui Yuan, who was lying on his knee like a child and acted like a baby.
Sui Yuan was dressed in red and bright yellow robes complement each other, his handsome face was raised slightly, his eyes were full of worry and embarrassment as he stared at the king, his soft voice was full of comfort and persuasion: "I understand, Your Majesty, however, I don’t want to hear that you are being criticized. The Dingyuan Hou Mansion has always been loyal. Since the founding of the country, it has been guarding the frontiers. It will take some time, I believe they will understand your difficulties and hand over their military power."
The emperor looked at his nephew whom he had single-handedly brought up since he was a child. Now that cute and lovely jade baby has become the youth of Yushu Lanzhi, making people want to love him even more, and he is reluctant to refuse. He sighed softly, remembering the heavy resistance above the court, and finally nodded slowly: "Maybe, you are right, I acted too hastily, then... let's take it easy first, and put Dingyuanhou and his son together first." Call back to Beijing and make another plan."
Sui Yuan smiled brightly, his red lips slightly raised: "Your Majesty is wise."
After coming out of the imperial study, Sui Yuan turned to visit some favorite concubines in the palace. He lost his father at the age of eight and was brought into the court since he was a child. It can be said that he grew up under the knees of these concubines. Blood relationship, but also a mother-child relationship.
If Sui Yuan was willing, his mouth would be as sweet as honey, coaxing all the concubines to tremble, and promised repeatedly that he would blow the wind around his pillow and keep the family of Dingyuan Hou's family safe.
Courtiers, emperors, and concubines, Sui Yuan skillfully manipulated everything into applause, and everyone knew the deep friendship between him and Fuyuan General Qin Zheng.
After leaving the palace, Sui Yuan rushed to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion without stopping. The old lady of the Marquis Manor stood up to meet him with her heavy sick body, and held his hand as soon as they met, weeping unceasingly.
"I didn't expect that the person who saved the Dingyuanhou's Mansion was you... I really don't know how to thank you..." The old lady trembled, "If... if our Dingyuanhou's Mansion can get through this crisis safely, then you are the one. Our great benefactor of the Dingyuanhou Mansion, if there is an opportunity, I hope to hear you calling my mother..."
Sui Yuan was stunned for a moment, looked at the old lady's expectant gaze, and in a polite manner of respecting the elderly and respecting the virtuous, called "Mother" as she expected.
The old lady was also stunned, and then smiled through tears, hugged Sui Yuan and called him a "silly boy", she seemed to be more loving than her own children.
"Her attitude is really weird. When I came here before, she was lukewarm." Sui Yuan complained silently to 5237, really not used to having such intimate contact with other people.
"This old lady is very shrewd!" 5237 snorted softly, "Before, I was lukewarm because I was afraid that you would abduct her most promising son, but now their entire family in Beijing can only rely on you, so naturally they want to give you some sweets first. , so that you can work hard for them without complaint or regret."
"So that's how it is." Sui Yuan seemed to have realized something after being taught, and he was extremely calm, "I really have a lot to learn."
5237: "...can't you give me some normal reactions like disappointment and loss?"
After getting in touch with the old lady of the Hou Mansion, Sui Yuan finally got down to business. He wanted to send the Dingyuan Hou Mansion's family away from Beijing according to the plot. The method and process is that the original plot has already been arranged, and Sui Yuan only needs to arrange it according to the script and it is enough.
Hearing Sui Yuan's arrangement, the old lady's eyes widened in astonishment, she obviously didn't expect that there would be a day to leave Beijing, she almost fainted from excitement.
Since there is such a good opportunity, the old lady will naturally not miss it. After restraining her emotions and inquiring about Sui Yuan's arrangement in detail, the old lady immediately made a decision and decided to leave Beijing according to Sui Yuan's plan.
As the emperor's actions to regain military power have been restrained, the relationship between the royal family and Marquis Dingyuan has gradually eased. Marquis Dingyuan, who had been notified by Sui Yuan long ago, took the initiative to ask to return to Beijing to report on his duties without waiting for the emperor's edict, and at the same time vaguely revealed the message that he was willing to hand over the military power. The emperor was overjoyed, and rewarded Dingyuanhou's mansion generously to appease him, and gradually withdrew the manpower who secretly monitored and surrounded Dingyuanhou's mansion.
The news that Marquis Dingyuan and his son Qin Zheng led a small team to return to Beijing just came, and soon followed by the unfortunate news that they were ambushed by nomads who were still wandering around the border and their whereabouts were unknown.
The old lady of Dingyuan Hou's Mansion heard the bad news and fell ill, but she still wanted to go to the Zen temple to pray to God for her husband and son to return safely.
The emperor couldn't stop him, so he had to send the Imperial Forest Army to "protect" the old and young women and children of Marquis Dingyuan to go to the mountain temple to worship the Buddha. Then came the bad news that the sedan chair of Marquis Dingyuan's mansion was attacked. The Imperial Forest Army, who had been trained sloppily and had no experience in defending against the enemy, was beaten to the ground. Naturally, all the people in the Hou Mansion also disappeared in the turmoil. It was publicized that they were killed, but everyone knew that they probably escaped.
The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, but the matter has not yet been found out. The father and son of the Marquis of Dingyuan who had "disappeared" before had returned unharmed.
In Beijing, Sui Yuan, who received the news, straightened his clothes, prepared for the only abuse point in the plot, and met the officers and soldiers sent by the emperor to arrest him expressionlessly.
The young master Pianpian, who was as beautiful as peaches and plums, had a dull expression, as if he was more sad than heartbroken, which made the soldiers couldn't bear to look at him. He walked out of his prince's mansion with his head held high, his dark eyes were bottomless and unwavering, as if he was not escorted into a prison to be tortured, but led his private soldiers to stroll in the market.
After Duanxiuyutao, another story about a man and a man spreads in Beijing, but it is a pity that, like the stories of the ancestors, it has a sad ending.
Like a fairy who came to the world, the Pianpian son Sui Yuan gave up everything to keep the young general Qin Zheng's family safe, but in the end he only ended up being abandoned. At that time, we were full of affection and told each other heartfeltly, but now you push me to the execution ground for the sake of the imperial robe.
On the way, Sui Yuan saw Fan Caiyao who was crying like tears with her hands covering her cheeks. Her husband supported her who was so mournful that she could hardly stand, and comforted her softly with a distressed face.
Sui Yuan's gaze met Fan Caiyao's, and Fan Caiyao's eyes overflowed with tears, filled with disbelief, pity and sympathy for Sui Yuan, and hatred and resentment for Qin Zheng.
Sui Yuan's footsteps paused, and he slightly hooked the corners of his lips towards her, his smile was as bright as spring in an instant, deeply imprinted in everyone's heart, calm, indifferent, and without regret—maybe, they will never see this again A young man who is unparalleled in the world, beautiful and moving.
In the rebel camp in the northwest, Qin Zheng held the secret report, lowered his head, and covered his eyes with his hands.
"Those who achieve great things, don't care about small details, there will always be someone who will sacrifice." Ding Yuanhou patted his beloved son's shoulder lightly, feeling the slight trembling of his body that was always as firm as a mountain, and sighed long.
Qin Zheng still lowered his head, with a slight ironic smile on the corner of his mouth, and his black eyes were dull and tired.
