Chapter 117 Mingfei's climbing the felt car
Yang Liuyi's official road, Yi Feng and Han Xing have to return to Huangzhou and Ye City respectively, while Yi Hui can't go together because of the task of escorting the princess and relatives.
"Yi Hui, be careful and measured. Remember, you can't lose the face of Meng Huachao at any time.
Yi Feng patted his son on the shoulder.
Since ancient times, Tianwei has been unpredictable. The emperor clearly knew that he did not agree to the peace talks, but he sent Yi Hui as this envoy. With such humiliating peace talks and such humiliating peace, even if Yi Hui successfully completes the task, it is difficult not to be scolded.
"My son knows. My son will be cautious." Yi Hui replied respectfully.
Yi Feng sighed. He believed in his son's ability and his son's proud bones. However, even if this matter has been in the wind and waves for many years, it is difficult for the old ministers in the court who are used to being false and real. What's more, Yi Hui is less than 20 years old and has never experienced such a thing.
Yi Feng sighed and looked at his son worriedly. He was surprised to see his son's confident and firm eyes.
"Father, don't worry. The son will not disappoint his father.
Yi Huidao.
Yi Feng smiled faintly:
"Yi Hui, Han Xing, I'll go first!" As he spoke, he lifted his robe and flew on his horse.
Yi Hui and Han Xing knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully.
Yi Feng and several followers behind him left, raising the wind and dust all the way.
"Yi Hui, I only have one sentence to tell you." Han Xing's eyes were solemn: "You have to come back safely. You remember that no matter what happens, you have to take care of yourself.
Yi Hui looked at the cold star blankly.
"You have led your army to Xinguo, and your battle was the key to the failure of their invasion plan. This time you become a messenger to send princesses and relatives, they will definitely make it difficult for you. The emperor sent them a favor... If you are disobedient and refuse to stay in the capital as a comfortable and relaxed Beijing official, he will send you to the tiger's mouth. How can such a king not make the ministers feel cold!"
The cold star sneered, and his eyes were full of chills.
"Brother Mu, you don't have to think too much about it. This is Yi Hui's mission. Yi Hui just needs to do it well."
"It's easy to do things. There's nothing good or bad. Liu Cang and others protect themselves better than you. You remember that you are the deputy envoy. Don't force yourself to protect the princess's safety along the way. No one can predict what will happen in Xinguo. What you have to do is to bring yourself back safely!" Han Xing pondered for a moment: "Yan Niang and I will get married when you come back."
"This..."
Yi Hui hesitated.
"There's nothing to say, I'm leaving too. Be careful and take care!" Han Xing patted Yi Hui on the shoulder: "Remember my words!"
said, and went away.
In front is a vast official road with dust, and behind it is a prosperous capital. Yi Hui suddenly felt extremely lonely.
His father's words were helpless, and Han Xing's words made him a deep distrust of the court. They have worked too hard to persevere like this.
Princess Long is the half-sister of Emperor Shao Kang. When Menghua was besieging the capital, Princess Long was recovering from her mother's family in the south to avoid the fate of being captured. However, ten years later, she was still regarded as a gift and sent to Xinguo in the name of marriage.
This day is the day to marry Princess Long. Although he was a kin and humiliating, Emperor Shao Kang still had to face himself in front of the Chinese people.
The young Emperor Shao Kang's brocade clothes, the letter of the righteousness of his sister with red makeup, and Princess Long did not cry as expected, and responded to the tedious scenes with silence from beginning to end.
There are two maids in pink beside her, but they look sad and seem to be very reluctant to give up their hometown.
"Send the princess to the sedan chair."
After a ceremony, Emperor Shao Kang ordered when the courtiers and the people in the harem marveled at the emperor's righteousness for the country.
After that, he knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times and stood up with Princess Long. With tears in his eyes, he looked at the nine palaces:
"Please treat my mother well."
After saying that, turn to the sedan chair.
A vast sending-off team. It is protected by the Royal Forbidden Army. Protect the princess carriage in the middle, and on the carriage behind, there are friendly messengers, attendants and ceremonial officers.
Behind, there are several cars of dowry gold and silver jewelry.
Yi Hui is still dressed in uniform and carefully observes the situation around him from time to time in the friendly team.
Stay in the post hall at dusk. Local officials and officials of the post office naturally serve carefully. Yi Hui simply ate something and vigilantly patrolled around the princess's room.
The little maid brought a plate of food in and brought it out intact.
"What's going on? Is this meal not to the princess's taste? The princess didn't eat at noon. You persuade the princess."
Yi Hui stopped the maid.
"If the princess doesn't eat it, it's useless for me to persuade her."
The maid has been serving Princess Helong for many years, and she also looks worried.
Yi Hui frowned. If the public goes on a hunger strike, it will be really bad.
"Princess, Yi Hui wants to see the princess."
Yi Hui straightened his clothes and stood in front of the princess's room and said.
"Is it General Yi? Come in."
and Long's voice was weak, a little hoarse and choked. I think he had cried.
The maid pushed the door and led Yi Hui in.
Princes Long was dressed in red makeup and sat in front of the bed, motionless. Her body is delicate, and although her face is pale, she is uniquely soft and beautiful.
"I see the princess!"
Yi Hui knelt down and saluted.
General Yi, please get up. General Yi, what's the matter with you? He Long's voice is gentle and not arrogant.
Yi Hui stood up and bowed slightly:
"Please take care of the country!"
"Oh?" He Longyin said, which seemed to be a little surprised: "It is said that your Yi family disagrees with the marriage. How did General Yi also say such a thing? I don't understand."
"Yi Hui does not advocate peace talks, and even Yi Hui does not advocate peace talks with Xinguo. However, since the emperor insists on peace talks and the peace talks have been successful, if he is not prepared for battle, he can only continue all the peace talks. The current situation can't start a war. Therefore, please take care of the country.
Yi Hui lowered his head and answered in a regular manner.
"It turns out that even generals like you think that it's time for a woman to sacrifice for the country..." He Long burst into tears and his voice was a little choked.
"If possible, Yi Hui would rather sacrifice himself to defend the country and his relatives. Guarding the people of Menghua Dynasty. Yi Hui said in a low voice.
and sighed:
"I heard that the Yi family army is powerful and strong. He is the first young general to attack Xinguo in the past few years. He Long admired the tightness. I also believe what you said." He Long stood up and walked slowly into Yi Hui: "Yi Jiajun, He Long hopes that next time, you can lead troops into Xinguo, instead of sending Menghua's daughter to Xinguo..."
"Yes." Yi Hui's heart is surging.
"You are loyal ministers, but he may not be a wise king. It's hard for you..." and Longyou sighed.
Yi Hui lowered his head and didn't know how to deal with it. In this case, it was a great rebellion.
"Don't be surprised," He Long looked at Yi Hui and then looked at the maid beside him: "You should know, we are going to Xinguo. I'm afraid it will be difficult to go back in this life. There are countless peaceful princesses in the Han Dynasty, but there are still Wei Qinghuo who went to step on the Xiongnu... Even if you have Wei Huo's talent, you are afraid that you don't have the courage of Han Wu. His parents are still suffering in Fanbang, but they can't wait to marry his sister. Hey..."
Yi Hui was silent.
"He was afraid of marrying a fake princess who believed in the Chinese people, and insisted on marrying me, the only blood sister, to Fanbang. Ha ha, does Xinguo really care about a princess like me? How many concubines in the former emperor and harem are all in the country? It is said that he lives the same life as a prostitute in a raccoon yard.
and sighed, with tears in his bright eyes.
"The princess is a dignified and amiable princess, which must be different from a prisoner."
Yi Hui didn't know how to comfort the princess.
I thought she was just a weak woman. After experiencing great changes in the country, this woman also had extraordinary insights.
"I was sent out by him and didn't think about how to live..."
He Long walked next to the table with hatred in his eyes.
"However, if the princess does not marry Xinguo according to the appointment, it is likely that the Xinguo will send troops to invade again. According to the order, the troops are not prepared for war. The princess's will go alone, and it may be the people of Li who may not survive.
Yi Hui said slowly.
and quietly looked at the respectful and humble man in front of him. He clearly had inviolable majesty, but he was deeply suppressed by him and still lowered his head, showing his obedience and respect.
"Princess, I dare to ask, if the princess is not going to marry, why did she promise the emperor? In this way, the prince is not the only one to retaliate.
Because he locked up my mother. Can I do it if I don't promise him?"
and Princess Long said coldly.
"So, the princess doesn't worry about the mother now? The princess can't see her mother's suffering and grievances in front of her. Is death a relief? Princess Helong passed away for some reason, and her mother missed her very much..."
" Shut up!" He shouted with Princess Long.
Yi Hui knelt on one knee without explanation.
"I know what you mean. I'm just a paper kite. No matter what, someone is holding the line.
He Long's tears flowed down quietly: "Even if you kneel in front of me, I'm also the paper kite who can't help but die..."
"Yi Hui hopes that there is a princess who can put the country first!" The princess's suffering is for the people behind her. I hope the princess is a person of deep righteousness. Yi Hui said emotionally.
It's too cruel to let a weak woman take on these heavy things. For the men of Menghua Dynasty, it is not humiliating. However, there is no other way.
When thinking of those comrades who died on the battlefield, Yi Hui couldn't help but feel sad.
"Okay, put it down."
and sighed and ordered.
"Yi Hui retreated."
"Wait, let me ask you, aren't you afraid of the army's ridicule when you come to be a relative? In the past, you were a general who led the army, resisting external humiliation and became famous. And now such an identity is not a glorious identity. He Long asked.
"There is an involuntary part of the minister. It's not about the reputation, but because I have to do it. Because the people can't endure more suffering.
"General, take care!" He Long said softly.
Yi Hui was stunned:
"Thank you, princess, I'm leaving!"
