Chapter 156

On the day after Qian Emperor Yu Yuanxu and Zhongyang King Yu Yuanpu met, the emperor issued an imperial edict through waige. On the ground that Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng died in the war in southern Xinjiang, Lu que, the son of Wei state, was granted the rank of commander in chief of Zhenger pinjun and Gu Qingcheng, the Marquis of Yanling, the rank of subordinate Pintong.

The imperial capital was shocked by the imperial edict. In more than 240 years since the founding of Daqian, there has never been a 16-year-old military commander or a 19-year-old commander. Even the eldest princess Yu Chuqing was over 20 years old when she was in charge of Fengxiang army. However, the imperial edict has not made a different sound, either in the inner and outer pavilions, or in the departments of the central court. After all, this is the pursuit of the throne. No matter how high the position is, it has no influence on the court structure. No one is willing to offend the government of Wei and Ding for two people who are not in the world, and the Emperor himself.

But there are still some people who see something strange in this edict. Although the battle of Southern Xinjiang was completed in the battle of xiaoqingshan and totally annihilated the star lion army, the whole battle of Southern Xinjiang was carried out according to the plan of Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng. It can be said that they had some achievements in opening up Xinjiang. According to the past practice, the generals who had the achievements in opening up Xinjiang died, In addition to pursuing the title of emperor, they should also enjoy the Royal ancestral temple to show their merits. The statue in Hongxi square named after the emperor's year was erected to show their remembrance. However, these were not mentioned in this edict.

If the emperor hated the Gu and Lu families and didn't want to give them this honor, that's all. But the fact is that the emperor trusted them both. Gu Huairen, the Duke of Dingguo, is an extremely important minister in the first military phase. Lu Chun, the Duke of Wei, was granted the position of hereditary Duke by the Emperor himself, which is the only hereditary Duke granted by Hong Xi. What's more, Lu Chun and Yu Chuqing also control the two largest armies in the imperial capital, one is the commander-in-chief of Changqing army and the other is the commander-in-chief of Fengxiang army, Almost equal to his own life into the hands of the Wei government, the emperor's trust and honor of the two families can be seen.

Then why did the emperor not give enough of his due kindness to Wei and Ding? It would be very uncomfortable. There are only two explanations for this matter. One is that the emperor was alert to the Gu and Lu families who held military power after the rebellion of the eighteen Marquis's house, and took the opportunity to beat them while he was in grace. The other is that there is something hidden behind this matter.

Some thoughtful people even thought that it was only three months since Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng were confirmed to enter xiyuanze, and no one knew whether they were alive or dead. The emperor was too hasty to pursue them at this time. The emperor's love for Lu que certainly did not expect them to die, so the Emperor could only take this opportunity to re seal their official posts, but their lives were still uncertain, The purpose of this is to make people confused.

At this time, many people in the capital frowned at the imperial edict issued by waige. The imperial capital had a long way to go with southern Xinjiang, and they could not understand why the emperor wanted to do so before they got the news of the return of Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng. They even included several other state governments of the top rank.

In the Yunfu of Zhenguo, yunxiansi is holding the newly delivered newspaper. He looks dejected. He goes back to the east courtyard where he lives and dismisses his servants. Yunxiansi brings out a jar of wine and drinks it one by one even though it's still in the morning. The newspaper, which seeks the official posts of Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng, is still in his hands, Not for a moment.

A few months ago, after the war in southern Xinjiang, the emperor ordered to marry him. Yun Xiansi knew that he and Gu Qingcheng would never be able to get married in their lives. Fortunately, he had already made the preparations in his heart. He just hid the feelings that had been brewing for nearly ten years in his heart and tasted the bitterness alone. Although Lu que is younger than him, her talent and military strategy are superior to him. Gu Qingcheng's preference for Lu que is obviously superior to him. It's a natural match for her to marry into Wei government.

What's more, the Lu family of Weiguo is like the sun and the sky, and its power is far above the cloud house of Zhenguo. Whether it's a royal gift, or Gu's own choice, or Gu's own meaning, this result is better for Gu than being with him. What yunxiansi can do is to silently bless the girl she has loved since she first met him.

But yunxiansi didn't expect that he soon learned that news came from southern Xinjiang that Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng were forced into xiyuanze by Qiu lie, the commander of the crazy lion army, in order to hold back the return of the crazy lion army. This was like a blow to him, because even if Gu Qingcheng married Lu family, he at least knew she was still alive and could take a look at her from a distance, but now he didn't even have such a chance.

Today's Diao Bao even shattered Yun Xiansi's last hope. The emperor ordered him to pursue the throne, which means that the southern Xinjiang army has confirmed that Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng are dead. The girl, who is more beautiful than all the flowers in the world in his heart, just withered like Epiphyllum when she just bloomed, except for a lingering shadow in his heart, There is nothing left. After a hundred years, no one will remember her and no one will mention her again. It's like a seven rainbow neon. After leaving the most beautiful light in this beautiful world, it dissipates between heaven and earth.

"Xiansi, I heard from the porter that there was a newspaper coming. What was written on it?" A 40-50-year-old middle-aged man pushed the door and came in. Seeing the smell of wine in the air, he frowned and said, "how can I drink so much wine in the daytime?"

It was Yun Xiansi's father, Yun Wenyan, the current Duke of Zhenguo. Yun Wenyan suffered from a serious illness when he was young. Although he was cured at last, his heart and lungs were damaged. He was not in good health all the time, so he only took the title of Duke of the town. He didn't become an official and kept quiet at home. But this doesn't mean that he was indifferent to the imperial court. After the rebellion of the eighteen Marquis's residence, although the Emperor didn't suspect them, However, the situation in the imperial capital was a little more tense than before. Naturally, he was also very concerned about the trend of the North Korean Bureau. After hearing from the porter that his son had taken away the palace newspaper, he found it.

Because he didn't become an official in Zhenguo, except for a hereditary title, the strength of the Yun family in the imperial court was not as good as before. If it wasn't for an old ancestor who was the head of the Imperial City, he might have been targeted by those noble families who wanted to go further. Under such circumstances, Yun Wen couldn't help being cautious.

As his only son, yunxiansi is also the most outstanding talent of the Yuns family for decades. Both he and his grandfather Zong Yunshu are very optimistic about the future of yunxiansi. The hope that the Yuns family will return to the court and regain the glory of the government is almost pinned on him. At this time, when yunwenyan sees his son's decadent appearance, he can't help but get angry and cough.

"Cough, cough, cough"

"Father." Cloud string thought in the heart a surprised, quickly get up to give cloud warm speech Shun Qi, good long time just recover.

"Xiansi, what happened?" Yun Wenyan sits down and drinks two mouthfuls of tea. He looks at his son with some puzzlement. He knows that Yun Xiansi is a young and mature man. He has never been bothered by him since he was a child. He has also won the title of "Ruyu childe" in the imperial capital. He is also one of the best in Daqian's younger generation. He really can't think of anything that bothers him.

"Look, father." Cloud string thought hesitated for a moment, good will be in the hands of that is about to be crushed in the past.

"Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng died for the country, your majesty pursued the title?" Yun Wenyan looked at the contents of the newspaper and frowned.

Yun Wenyan, Lu Chun and Gu Huairen are of the same generation, and they had a good relationship when they were in school. When Lu Chun formed the Tianhuo army, he was invited to be the Deputy military division to manage the logistics of the army, but he had to refuse because of his health. Naturally, they pay a lot of attention to their next generation.

He knows that his son likes Gu Qingcheng. Before, he had the idea of waiting for them to graduate from the school to propose marriage. But later, it became known that the Gu and Lu families had an engagement. Some time ago, the emperor ordered to marry them. He could only sigh that they had no fate, but he knew that few of them were able to get married with each other, Even Emperor Yu Yuanxu and empress Lu Qin, as well as Lu Chun and Yu Chuqing, who have been praised all along, are nothing more than a political marriage in his eyes. The difference is that the two couples are intelligent and get along well.

Therefore, for Yun Wenyan, his future master of the cloud family doesn't have to care about the whole city. As for his son Yun Xiansi, he doesn't care much. Some young people have a good heart. When they get old, they will naturally understand that the so-called love can sometimes overcome everything, but sometimes it's worthless. Yun Xiansi wants to find a future master of the cloud family, Instead of a person who loves each other, sometimes they can be harmonious and unified, but more often they are two different concepts, just like himself.

"Father." Yun Xiansi's face flushed with wine vapor. At this time, he only felt that there was a huge stone in his heart, and he was almost out of breath. At the thought that Gu Qingcheng had passed away, his heart ached.

Yun Wenyan looks at his son faintly. He comes from the past and naturally understands the pain in his son's heart. In those years, he never had a lover, but he didn't get together. He knows that only Yun Xiansi unties this knot himself can his mind be improved, and he can trust him to give the cloud family to him.

"Father." Yun Xiansi called again, but he found that Yun Wenyan didn't want to open his mouth at all. He just looked at him lightly. There was no pain in his eyes that he felt the same as him, and he didn't see his disappointment. For a moment, he was flustered.

"Xian Si, you are a very clever man. Don't you find anything in the newspaper?" Seeing his son's flustered eyes, Yun Wenyan knew that he was in a precarious mood at this time. He could not help but remind him that he had been studying behind closed doors for more than 20 years. He was even more familiar with Da Qian's etiquette than the officials of the Ministry of rites. Naturally, he could see what was missing from the newspaper at a glance.

"What did you find?" Yun Xiansi took the newspaper and read it again from beginning to end. He didn't see anything except the news that made his heart tingle.

"Well, come with me." Yun Wen sighed, got up and went out. Yun Xian thought for a moment and quickly followed.

The father and son come to yunwenyan's study. Yunwenyan takes out a wooden box from the bookshelf, picks it out for a while, and then takes out some residence newspapers. Although the red embroidery outside the residence newspapers is the same, yunxiansi can still tell that these residence newspapers do not belong to the Hongxi Dynasty.

"Look at the difference." Yun Wenyan throws the papers on the table, goes to one side, pours a cup of tea, and takes care of himself.

"This ~" Yun Xiansi opened the papers separately, and found that they were all made by high-ranking generals who died in the past dynasties of Da Qian. There were military commanders, commanders, and generals on them. There were Taizu Dynasty, Xuandi Dynasty, Wudi Dynasty, and even Wendi Dynasty, where Da Qian had the least wars.

"No enjoyment, no standing image?" With Yun Xiansi's wisdom, he soon found the difference. He looked at Yun Wenyan with some puzzlement and some anger and said, "father, why is this so? Why does your majesty treat Lu Que and Qing Cheng so badly? The two of them made great contributions to the development of the two prefectures. Why is this so? "

"Stupid." Yun Wenyan patted the armrest of the chair and looked as if he had lost his intelligence. There was no longer Yun Xiansi as usual. There was a glimmer of disappointment in his eyes, and he said, "can you comment on your Majesty's decision? You roll for me, take these things and roll back to your east courtyard. If you don't understand, don't come out again, so as not to make a fool of yourself. "

"Father ~" Yun Xiansi was scolded and confused. Even if his words were not right, he would not let his father get so angry. The years in his heart changed rapidly. He glanced at the newspapers in those residences. Suddenly, he was surprised and said, "father, are they not dead? Is all this your Majesty's plan?"

Yun Wenyan's eyes flashed a trace of comfort, but it didn't show that "the elder Yunshu went back to his father's house yesterday and said that three days ago, a white feather jackdaw flew into Dingguo mansion. Last night, the king of Zhongyang entered the palace and had a secret talk with his Majesty in Ziji hall for a long time. Today, there is a report about this mansion."

Yun Wenyan seems to say irrelevant words, but it sounds like sounds of nature in Yun Xiansi's ears. If he can't hear his father's words, he is not the proud son of Fengming Academy.

"Although the girl who looks after her family is good, your majesty has given her marriage to Lu que. Do you understand?" Yun Wenyan reminds his son again.

"I understand that I don't have delusions. As long as she is safe, I will be satisfied." Cloud string think smell the surprise on the face of speech to turn to be gloomy in an instant, nodded.

"If you understand, you should finish school this year. Your uncle Zhuge and I have already said that you will have an uncle's position in the Tianhuo army. There will be frequent wars in Northern Xinjiang. You have to go your own way in the future. If your father is not in good health, I'm afraid it's not far away. Sooner or later, the cloud family of Zhenguo will be handed over to you. The cloud family has been standing for more than 200 years, It's up to you whether you want to rise again or continue to decline. You have to have a clear idea. You must not lose your sense of propriety like today. "

"My father must not say that again. My child is young and impulsive. The cloud family still depends on his father." Yunxiansi was shocked and said that he knew his father's talent. Otherwise Lu Chun, a hero of the generation, would not have invited his father to join the Tianhuo army. It was only because of his physical condition that his talent could not be exerted. Although he had been in poor health, yunxiansi had never thought about what would happen to himself and his family when his father was gone, Perhaps my father was really disappointed by my love for children.

"It's common for young people to be capricious and impulsive. It's also natural for men and women to be involuntarily affectionate. It doesn't matter. They don't grow wisdom without going through anything. As long as they can learn from it, it's good. You are the hope of the cloud family, but as far as your performance today is concerned, you're not as good as Wei Lu que. OK, you go back and take away these official papers, From today on, your attitude is the attitude of the cloud government of Zhenguo. I hope you will be cautious. " Seeing what else yunxiansi wanted to say, yunwenyan waved his hand and let yunxiansi retreat.

"Take good care of your father, and the baby will leave." Yun Xiansi respectfully saluted and turned to leave. When he came out of his study, he didn't feel relaxed, as if there was a mountain on him. At this time, he realized how difficult it was for his father Yun Wenyan to support the town government for so many years.

"Well, time doesn't wait for me, Xiansi. The cloud mansion of Zhenguo will really depend on you in the future." Seeing Yun Xiansi leave, Yun Wenyan sighs. As a child, he was seriously ill and hurt his heart and lungs. From then on, he has no chance with Wudao. At this time, he can feel that the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry, and the time is coming.

In this world, the only thing that worries him is the cloud house of Zhenguo, which has been handed down for a hundred years. Fortunately, his son Yun Xiansi is an outstanding figure among all the children of the cloud family. As long as he can get out of this secret love, he will have nothing to worry about if he gives the cloud house of Zhenguo to him with his son's intelligence.

"Laozu's feelings in the world are the most hurtful, tearful and heartbreaking. Can he come out of them?" Yun Wenyan said to the air suddenly.

As soon as Yunwen's voice fell, Yunshu's figure suddenly appeared on a seat, as if she had been sitting here.

"Wenyan, you have been sick all your life, and you are suffering from love, which leads to the lack of medicine and stone in your body. In infatuation, Xian Si is very much like you, but he is different from you. You can hide in the house and stay closed, but he can't. At that time, he had to face every moment, even if he couldn't come out, he had to come out. " Yunshu looks at Yunwen and sighs.

"So it is." Yun Wenyan laughed at himself and said, "Xiansi is not me after all. Even if he can't walk out of his heart, he won't show it again. There's really nothing to worry about when the cloud family is handed over to him."

"Daqian's national power has reached its peak. The so-called prosperity will decline. Whether it can go any further depends on their generation. The war between the north and the south is inevitable. This is the general trend. Whether our cloud family can occupy a place in this general trend and rise again in the court depends on the actions of Xiansi. We have no other choice but to trust him."

Yun Wenyan ordered a little, and then asked, "is Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng really coming out of xiyuanze?"

"Although there's no definite news, it's true. Lu's luck is really enviable. After Lu Chun, there is Lu que. Fortunately, Wei's government is also one of the top dignitaries. His majesty places his hope on Lu que for Daqian's future. Then Lu que has to integrate all kinds of resources. Although the relationship between Xian Si and him is somewhat complicated, But after all, he shared the joys and sorrows in the mountains and seas. There must be a hundred birds accompanying the Phoenix in the sky. Although I'm not reconciled, my cloud family can only be one of the hundred birds in this general situation and cling to the phoenix tail. "
