Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 928 I dare not believe it, and I cannot bear to believe it
Although the sun was shining brightly and the wind was warm along the way, it could be called a spring scene. But as soon as I walked into the Xuanzheng Hall, I suddenly felt that my eyes were darkened, and then an invisible pressure hit me from all directions. The excitement about the opportunity suddenly dropped at this moment.

Lou Yingxiong even suddenly felt that there was an indescribable ominousness arising spontaneously.

When Prince Yu Wenzhen, who was walking half a step in front of him, looked up and saw Yu Wenyuan sitting in the main hall with no courtiers around him, he couldn't help but think to himself - if it was really to announce Lou Yingxiong's appointment to send troops, At least someone from the Ministry of War must be present.

Thinking of this, his eyes became more solemn.

But he didn't make any unnecessary moves. He walked up and down and immediately kowtowed and saluted: "Meet my father."

Lou Yingxiong also knelt down immediately.

Yu Wenyuan sat behind the imperial desk with a calm expression, but because the door of the Xuanzheng Hall was immediately closed, there was no light in his eyes. Instead, they were covered by a thick haze, making it difficult to see any of his emotions. Just listen to him say calmly: "Get back on your feet."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The two people stood up. After standing up, no one spoke.

Yu Wenyuan half-squinted his eyes and looked at Lou Yingxiong. Finally, his eyes fell on Yu Wenzhen, who had his head lowered, and said: "Kain'er, yesterday you recommended General Ning Yuan to lead the army to help Cijian, right? "

"……Yes."

"Then tell me your reasons for recommending him."

"Firstly, General Ningyuan is determined to kill the enemy, and has expressed to his ministers several times that he wants to be loyal to the country and serve the court; secondly, General Ningyuan has been guarding Anyang all year round, and has fought against the people of Wanggangzhai several times, and is quite experienced. . If the Eastern Expedition encounters Xiao Yuansui's men, he will definitely win if he is familiar with their opponent's style of play!"

Listening to his words, Yu Wenyuan tapped his hand gently on the table. Every time he knocked, it seemed as if a little dust fell on the person's heart, one particle after another, which made the person feel breathless.

After a while, he said: "Today, do you still think so?"

"Yes."

"why?"

"As the saying goes, one should not avoid relatives when promoting a virtuous man. As the prince, General Ningyuan is his father-in-law. But if he has the loyalty to his father and the ability to serve the court, he will not sacrifice for his own reputation. , ignoring my father and the court."

"Okay, it's good to be a good person and never avoid relatives."

Yu Wenyuan nodded repeatedly, but as he nodded, his eyes became increasingly colder. Even if they didn't raise their heads and look directly at him, the two people in the hall could almost feel the bone-chilling coldness that was about to pierce through them. The two bodies. Yu Wenyuan said: "But is the one you recommend really a 'virtuous' person?"

Yu Wenzuo finally raised his head with a puzzled look on his face: "My son, I don't understand what my father means."

Yu Wenyuan said: "Let me ask you, have you continued to pursue the case of Pei Xingyuan who was intercepted and killed a few days ago and caused him to flee with the rebels in Wanggang Village?"

Yu Wenzuo's heart suddenly sank.

But there was no other expression on his face, only deeper doubts and confusion, and he said: "Didn't my father ask the left leading military guard to investigate this matter? I don't dare to make my own decisions and overstep my authority."

Yu Wenyuan sneered: "Then do you know what the results of the left leading army guard's investigation were?"

"My son, I don't know."

"General Ning Yuan, do you know?" This was the first time Yu Wenyuan spoke to Lou Yingxiong since entering the hall. When he opened his mouth, he asked about the most sensitive and fearful place in Lou Yingxiong's heart. Although Xiong tried his best to control his emotions, when he spoke, his trembling voice betrayed his uneasiness and fear at the moment: "Wei Chen... I don't know."

Yu Wenyuan suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "Come on!"

This roar of tigers and dragons suddenly exploded in the closed Xuanzheng Hall, like muffled thunder, which shocked the two people in the hall and made their hearts sink again.

Immediately, they heard the door of the main hall behind them being pushed open, and heavy footsteps came in. They turned around and saw that it was Lu Qianfeng, the general of the left-leading army guard.

As soon as he saw him, Yu Wenzhen's eyes were startled, and he quickly glanced at Lou Yingxiong, whose face suddenly turned pale beside him. He seemed to have understood something, and then the expression on his face changed from surprise to confusion, and he showed a few more words. Feeling unbelievable and heavy, he immediately turned to Yu Wenyuan and said: "Father, this is -"

Yu Wenyuan said: "Lu Qianfeng, tell the prince what you have done."

"Yes,"

Lu Qianfeng accepted the order, then turned to Yu Wenzhen and said: "Your Highness, the general found a group of people at a village twenty miles west of the city last night. They practice martial arts on weekdays in preparation for critical needs. These people There are 143 people in total. Sixteen people died in the past few days. There were 126 people who committed suicide last night. Except for one person, they have all been captured. "

"Fafa? What did they do?"

"They received a secret order, entered the city to ambush, intercepted and killed the prisoner Pei Xingyuan."

"What?! Such a thing could happen?"

"Yes. The general also found Pei Xingyuan's portrait on Zhuangzi and the route map for escorting the carriage. Those sixteen people were carefully selected from more than a hundred people. In addition to being escorted in the city and His Highness the King of Qin, In addition to the six people killed by his servants, the bodies of the remaining ten people were found in the valley outside the city, and the perpetrators were also people from Zhuangzi."

After speaking, Lu Qianfeng presented the portrait and road map in front of him.

Yu Wenzhen took it and took a quick look, his eyes full of disbelief. When he confirmed that everything was indeed correct, he immediately turned to look at Yu Wenyuan and said: "Father, the people who raise these dead soldiers, who is it?"

"..."

Yu Wenyuan did not speak, but glanced at him, then looked down at the confession in front of him, and then said: "Do you really not know who this person is?"

Yu Wen said suspiciously: "Father, are you suspicious of your son?"

Yu Wenyuan frowned slightly, as if he was about to say something, but before he could speak, Yu Wenzui had already said: "I am an upright person. Even if I hate the felons who colluded with the Wanggang Village traitors, I hate them even more for daring to attack my father in Tangquan Palace. If you are planning to do something wrong, you must know that formal punishment is the greatest punishment for these people. I will never dare to deal with the prisoners privately!"

Yu Wenyuan looked at him for a while and said, "You are my son, of course I believe in you."

"..."

"But don't you have any doubts?"

"..."

Yuwen Qian was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice: "I dare not believe it, and I cannot bear to believe it."

After speaking, he slowly raised his head and looked at Lou Yingxiong, who was standing aside with a pale face.
