"let me out!"
There was a hustle and bustle in the post house, and Kun Junyue yelled out of style.
Since he was banned in the post house and could not go out, he has been trying his best to maintain his demeanor as the prince of Xikun, thinking that the truth will be found out soon.
He knew that after he left Xikun, Emperor Kun would attack Kunwu because of the poisoning, and he would not suspect himself at all. As for the reason for attacking Weizhou City, he still hasn't figured it out.
He only knew that once Emperor Kun attacked Kun Wushang, his men would cooperate with Emperor Kun to take Kun Wushang's life, and would not let him have the hope of dying.
But as time passed day by day, there was no news of him being summoned from the palace, as if he, the Prince of Xikun, had been completely forgotten.
The time he spent in the court hall was not too short, and a certain unique sense of smell made him smell the danger.
He is terrified, he is uneasy.
He knew that if he didn't walk out of this small inn, the world outside would be turned upside down, and he would be completely forgotten...
"Let me out! I'm the prince of Xikun, a distinguished guest of Beili, how dare you be so rude!"
The Beili soldiers who were reprimanded by him for being "disrespectful" just quietly guarded the post house, not letting Kun Junyue and any of his subordinates go out.
Kun Junyue would rather they do it than be ignored like this. He immediately drew his sword from his waist and stabbed at the military officer who was the leader of the group of soldiers.
Before the sword touched the corner of his clothes, the person who was stabbed had moved away sideways, neatly.
"His Royal Highness, do you know what will happen to you if you don't get out of the way at the end of the day?"
Kun Junyue looked at him angrily, the military officer looked solemn, "The Xikun army's surprise attack on Weizhou City is not over yet, the crown prince openly attacked Beili's military attache in the capital, which means that the two countries are at odds, and Xikun provoked first I advise the prince to be patient, do you think you are still the prince now?"
Kun Junyue immediately became vigilant, "What do you mean? I am not the prince, so who is the prince?"
The military officer's expression was tinged with sarcasm, "Emperor Kun is dead, and the Seventh Prince of Xikun ascended the throne yesterday. It is reported that he has no heirs under his knees, so naturally there is no prince now."
Kun Junyue's expression froze, and she looked at him incredulously, "Impossible! How could the father die? He..."
The toxicity on his body is obviously at least three to five years before it will be fatal.
The military officer looked at him with probing eyes, and Kun Junyue immediately changed his words, "If the father really died, why didn't anyone inform me? This palace is the prince. How can it be Kunwu's turn to ascend the throne? What is going on? I want to see your Majesty!"
"The war has not stopped, and His Majesty probably won't have time to see the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince really wants to see Da Ke stab the general with his sword, he may be able to see His Majesty before he is given death."
The military officer nodded slightly, waved his hand and ordered the courtyard door to be closed, and Kun Junyue's face slowly disappeared behind the crack of the door.
Emperor Kun is dead, and Kun Wu is wounded and enthroned...
Something must be wrong, something must have happened that he didn't predict!
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
The envoys of his subordinates looked at him anxiously. If what Military Officer Bei Li said was true, then they would not be able to go back to Xikun now, and they would be of no use to Bei Li.
"what to do?"
Kun Junyue sneered, "Kun Wushang has always been the defeat of this palace, even if he steals the throne and becomes emperor, this palace has a way to pull him off the dragon seat!"
…
"Your Majesty, Prince Xikun wanted to see His Majesty, but was stopped by the guards at the posthouse."
Chen Jingxing smiled helplessly, "This is the fifth time he has been blocked from asking to see His Majesty. Presumably he also realized what happened in Xikun, so His Majesty just ignored him."
Yu Fu stands in front of the window and looks out, winter turns to spring in a blink of an eye, and it has been several months since Gu Shubai went to Weizhou on their wedding night.
She smiled softly, "What reason did he use to beg you this time?"
Chen Jingxing reported: "He said that Kunwu hurt this person treacherously, no matter what benefits he promised Bei Li, he might not be able to fulfill it. Now his life is in His Majesty's hands, as long as His Majesty is willing to let him go back to the country and reorganize the government, he is willing to promise to His Majesty More than Kun Wushang promised."
"Then I'm afraid he can't afford it."
Yu Fu walked to the imperial case and handed a document to Chen Jingxing, "You can see for yourself."
Chen Jingxing opened it, and couldn't help being surprised, "Kunwu hurt him... He actually gave the Xikun Imperial Seal and Soldiers Talisman to General Gu?"
"I also just got the news, I didn't expect Kunwu to hurt him..."
Yu Fu smiled slightly, "He's serious this time, the Imperial Seal and Military Talisman have been handed over, there is no room for deceit."
"It's not just that there is no room for cheating?"
Chen Jingxing was almost amazed, "He handed over all the power to General Gu in this way, which is tantamount to surrendering Xikun first. This is really not in line with his style. He has endured fighting for power in Xikun for so many years, how could he easily get himself Give up all the things in your hand?"
He thought about it, and unconsciously frowned, "Your Majesty, I think this matter is not quite right."
Yu Fu reported another memorial to him, "After reading this, you won't feel wrong. Do you know that he led an army of 100,000 to attack Xixian City, and now there are more than 200,000 under his command. Some of these people went into exile from Dongling, and some admired the prestige of the Gu family army in Xikun for a long time, do you think Kun Wushang has other options besides handing over the power?"
To attract so many soldiers to voluntarily surrender in just a few months is unheard of and unseen in history books.
Chen Jingxing understood a little bit. For Kun Wushang, there was really no chance of winning in such a situation. Instead of fighting a trapped beast, it might be better to surrender directly in exchange for greater benefits.
But he always felt that something was wrong.
Where exactly is it, he couldn't say it for a moment, he just felt a strange lingering feeling in his heart...
"Your Majesty, Taishi Tian and Taifu Bao are asking to see you."
Yao Lan suddenly came in from outside the hall, Yu Fu originally thought that Tian Yunpo and the others were here to congratulate, but seeing Yao Lan's complexion, there was something wrong.
"What's wrong?"
Yao Lan hesitated and said: "The complexions of the adults are not very good-looking, it seems that something serious has happened."
Yu Fu waved his hand to signal for her to invite someone in, took a sip of the tea cup, and wondered why Tian Yunpo and the others didn't hesitate.
General Ouyang didn't have any critical battle reports, and Xikun's place went smoothly beyond imagination, so what else to worry about
Everyone entered the hall to salute, Yu Fu said: "Everyone sit down and talk."
No one sat down.
Tian Yunpo and Bao Taifu looked at each other, and it was the former who finally spoke first, "Your Majesty, do you know about Kun Wushang handing over the imperial seal and military talisman to General Gu when he ascended the throne?"
Yu Fu pointed to the two memorials at Chen Jingxing's hand, "They are all there, I have already seen them."
Tian Yunpo nodded, "Then Your Majesty doesn't think there is anything wrong?"
"inappropriate?"
Yufu didn't think there was anything wrong, Taifu Bao immediately said: "Your Majesty, according to the usual practice, Kun Wushang surrendered to Bei Li as the emperor of Xikun, so he should hand over the Imperial Seal to His Majesty. But he gave the Imperial Seal It's against the rules to hand over the military talisman to General Gu!"
"Is the master overthinking?"
It was only then that Yu Fu realized the intention of the crowd rushing over, "General Gu is the chief general of the crusade against Xikun this time, and there is nothing wrong with Kun Wushang handing over the Imperial Seal and other things to him. When the army returns triumphantly, he will Naturally, these things will be handed over to me."
Tian Yunpo looked at her and couldn't help frowning, "What if he doesn't?"
This sentence was so straightforward, Chen Jingxing suddenly understood the reason for the strange feeling in his heart, he almost knocked down the two documents with a trembling hand.
Yu Fu looked at Tian Yunpo, his eyes gradually became sharper, "The grand master is the minister of the humerus in the court, I don't know what is wrong with General Gu, and let the grand master speculate about him so maliciously."
She doesn't care if Tian Yunpo said something mocking Gu Shubai and the Gu family brothers in front of her on weekdays, she knows that Tian Yunpo is like this, but in fact he doesn't have much evil intentions.
Only today, she couldn't laugh it off.
To say that Gu Shubai did not hand over Xikun Imperial Seal and Soldiers Talisman to her meant that he had the intention of rebelling against him, which was the biggest crime for a famous general.
She will never allow someone to impose such malicious attacks on Gu Shubai.
All the ministers suddenly noticed that the air around her became cold.
She has always been very humble and polite to courtiers, and she is rarely as cold as today, which shows that she is really angry.
Tian Yunpo slammed into her anger sharply, "Your Majesty, the minister's speculation is not out of nothing. Could it be that the 100,000 army has become 250,000? Isn't this enough to make His Majesty afraid? Do you know that the 250,000 army What does it mean? It means that General Gu wants to take Xikun as his own, and it will be a matter of no effort!"
"shut up."
Yu Fu gave him a cold look, eyes full of disappointment.
She originally thought that Tian Yunpo was different from others, that he would not frame Gu Shubai just because he liked her like Ning Chengzhi and Yin Shuo did.
He is Beili's Grand Master and a loyal minister of the court. He has the character and bearing of a celebrity, and he would never bother to frame others for the sake of his children's personal interests.
Because of this, she never resisted contact with Tian Yunpo, but what he said today made her very disappointed——
It turns out that there is no difference between him and Yin Shuo and others, they would also frame him because of jealousy of Gu Shubai, spread rumors, make things out of nothing, sow discord...
"If it's because he can attract the attachments of those surrendered soldiers, we should doubt his loyalty, and suspect that he intends to take Xikun as his own. Then before I returned to the country, the Grand Master single-handedly controlled the government, did he also have intentions? Suspected of treason and usurpation?"
"you!"
Tian Yunpo never thought that his original jokes would become the basis for Yufu to attack him now, he was so angry that he could not speak, "General Gu is Your Majesty's husband, Your Majesty believes in General Gu, and we also believe in him Loyalty! But some things have to be done, attracted by such a huge power, how many people can be unshakable? What's more, Kun Wushang even dedicated the soldier talisman to him, and he now has more than 250,000 troops !"
Yu Fu gave him a cold look, "If you have to be suspicious of a loyal general just because you hold a large army, then what is the difference between me and the stupid and ignorant Emperor Ning? Back then, Gu Hou held Dong Ling's army without any intention of rebellion. The current Gu Shubai won't either. There is no need to discuss this matter any more, let's step down."
back off.
These three words have already expressed Yufu's greatest resentment, and it is also the sullen anger that she tried her best to restrain.
Taifu Bao took a look at Tian Yunpo, and was about to persuade him to leave first, but Tian Yunpo lost his demeanor uncharacteristically, "Your Majesty, do you really want to disregard Bei Li's interests for the sake of your children? Because you have feelings for Gu Shubai, you trust him completely, but have you thought about how many soldiers he would have to sacrifice to save the situation if he rebelled against Bei Li?"
As soon as this remark came out, all the officials Qiqi changed their faces, they said they were only here to persuade Yufu, why did it evolve to this point
This is not like persuasion, but like relying on the status of a veteran to intimidate her.
Yu Fu laughed back angrily, "So what the grand master wants to force me to do today is to force me to take back the general's military amulet or directly escort him back to the capital for custody, so the grand master is satisfied, right?"
"Teacher!"
Tian Yunpo was about to speak, but Taifu Bao stopped him with rare words, "Teacher, since His Majesty has already made a decision, let's go back first."
He winked at Tian Yunpo, not wanting him to say anything that would hurt the relationship between the monarch and his subjects.
Tian Yunpo was unmoved, and cupped his hands towards Yu and said: "I think that Your Majesty should send an envoy to review the general's military amulet and the national seal, and order him to return to the country immediately, so as not to give birth to a heart of self-respect."
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Taifu Bao couldn't help but sighed.
He seemed to understand why Tian Yunpo lost his composure today, and he also knew that a conflict was bound to erupt today, and he tried his best to save it but he couldn't stop it...
Yufu looked at Tian Yunpo, and Tian Yunpo looked at Yufu.
The two have disputes when discussing political affairs on weekdays, but they always have smiles in their eyes, and there has never been a real rift. Today, the two face each other like enemies.
After a long time, Yu Fu smiled.
"The grand master has been feeling unwell recently, and he is even confused when he speaks. I have granted him permission to go back to the residence to recuperate and not to go to court. When he recovers, he will come back. If he is not well... then there is no need to come back."
After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves coldly and walked straight to the inner room.
Tian Yun stood behind her with a dead face and looked at her, finally only showed a blunt smile, and raised his hand to take off his official hat.
"Teacher..."
Some ministers tried to persuade him something, but they were silent in the end.
He walked out first, and someone sighed and whispered: "Didn't you just come to persuade Your Majesty? The tone of the Taishi just now was too impatient. No wonder Your Majesty is angry. She has never been easy Angry people..."
All the ministers walked out while talking, Taifu Bao sighed softly.
If it was only because of disagreements in government affairs, Tian Yunpo would not be like this, it was because it involved Gu Shubai and saw Yufu's unconditional trust in Gu Shubai, that made him lose his composure.
That affection had never had a negative effect on him, but it was impossible to say that he wasn't jealous at all.
Taifu Bao stopped suddenly, "Let's go first, the old man wants to go back and ask His Majesty again."
All the ministers were stunned, and said one after another: "The Grand Tutor is highly respected, please persuade Your Majesty, even if you are angry, you can't just dismiss the Grand Master. Otherwise, it will be a big loss for the court, and it will be my Bei Li's loss." !"
"Yes, Your Majesty has always respected the Taifu, please ask the Taifu to persuade Your Majesty to calm down..."
Grand Tutor Bao only nodded, turned around and walked towards the Hall of Longevity, Yao Lan stood outside the hall and said without waiting for him to speak: "Your Majesty, invite the Grand Tutor to enter."
Taifu Bao was stunned, "How does Your Majesty know that the old man will come back?"
Yao Lan smiled and didn't speak, just bowed to invite him into the hall, saw Yu Fu sitting on the couch sipping tea, saw him come in and said: "Teacher, please sit down and drink a cup of new tribute spring tea."
Taifu Bao thought for a while and sat down, "Your Majesty was angry just now, the old minister was worried about His Majesty, so he came back to take a look. Seeing that His Majesty is calm and calm, the old minister is relieved."
"Who said I'm calm? I'm still very angry with him."
When Yu Fu said this, she was indeed very angry just now, but after calming down and thinking about it carefully, she felt that Tian Yunpo was not that kind of person.
She didn't dare to say that she knew people with her eyesight, but she believed that she had not made a wrong judgment on the courtiers she had been with for so long.
Only then did Taifu Bao show a relieved smile.
She can say the word angry, which proves that she is not so angry anymore.
He said: "Your Majesty, don't blame him. His suspicion is not groundless and intends to frame General Gu. It is because the situation in Xikun has a lot to do with it. Does Your Majesty know? The refugees from Dongling came to Beili earlier than those from the court. Four or five times more people went to Xikun. Now the situation is completely reversed, and the refugees in Dongling heard that General Gu has controlled Xikun, and they all rushed to go to Xikun. How can I be relieved?"
