Long live Emperor Wu!
Chapter 41 The slave will not leave
Chapter 41 The slave won’t go back
General Wu Rou told Yan Xianfei roughly what happened during their discussion at the banquet that day.Especially those words from the bottom of her heart that Miss Yan said while crying, and those words she said later outside the Wude Hall.
Concubine Yan Xian listened silently, and in the end she did not wipe the sword, but just held it in her hand as if she was thoughtful.
After Wu Rou finished speaking, she sighed deeply and suddenly pulled out the long sword.
The carved pattern on the scabbard is beautiful, but it seems to have been aged for some time, and the handshake area is somewhat worn and unclear.
She pulled it out halfway, and the sharp and hard sword blade rubbed against the cavity of the scabbard, making a hissing sound. The sword blade inside was white, and the scratches from frequent polishing could be faintly seen on it.
Concubine Yan Xian looked at the blade and murmured:
"It turns out I was looking for a place to use myself..."
Her eyes reflected the edge of the sword, shining like stars, and she continued firmly:
"As it should."
With that said, he closed the sword blade again.
Wu Rou looked at her beautiful and refreshing posture, so she asked:
"Does your Majesty know martial arts?"
Concubine Yan Xian put down the sword and reached out to touch the blade. She seemed to be very attached to it and said with regret:
"The women in the harem are just showing off their fists and embroidering their legs. They don't count as skills."
The female officer following her suddenly spoke and said:
"Your Majesty is too modest. When Your Majesty was the King of Qin, he was assassinated once, and it was your Majesty who saved him."
That tone was full of pride.
Concubine Yan Xian turned her head and glared at her.
Wu Rou was so envious that she couldn't help but smile. She tilted her head slightly and said:
"Is your Majesty so powerful?... That day, I saw Miss Yan could do it. She fought with His Highness the Prince of Jin on horseback with a club and even won. She was really heroic. Do all the girls in the Yan family have to learn something? ?”
Concubine Yan Xian sighed and said:
"We, the Yan family, are from Xianbei. From the Wei Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, and then to the Sui Dynasty, there have always been people who have led troops and fought in high positions in the court. Wushu skills are passed down from family to family, so naturally we must try our best to pass them on.
Martial arts is different from knowledge. It relies heavily on talent. The same moves are different when practiced by talented people and ordinary people. The power is naturally different.
Knowledge can be recorded in books, and as long as future generations can read it, they can pick it up even after generations have passed.
However, poor martial arts cannot be explained by just drawing a few pictures on paper. It needs to be taught personally from generation to generation.
In order to prevent the Yan family's martial arts from being lost due to differences in people's talents, the Yan family's children, both male and female, are taught moves and practice hard every day.
If you are lucky enough to have one or two talented people, they will lead the rest of the Yan family to improve their martial arts and maintain the inheritance.
For example, I, Aye, had no chance to become an official because his grandfather was convicted in the Sui Dynasty. Moreover, he followed a literary path and had average martial arts talent.
But he still followed his family training, practiced the martial arts moves, and then passed them on to us in a strict manner.
My talent is pretty good and I have achieved some success, but unfortunately, I am a woman and cannot be a military commander, so I just do some boring exercises in the harem, just to keep fit. "
Her tone was full of regret and she said:
"So I understand Siniang's thoughts very well. In this world, there are really few opportunities for women to display their talents."
Wu Rou looked at her side face and saw her looking out with a desolate expression. She also felt sad and murmured:
"My lady..."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Concubine Yan Xian came back to look at her and saw Wu Rou's drooped eyebrows. The girl's face was immature. The originally smooth and beautiful eyebrows drooped, making her look even more miserable and pitiful.
She smiled brightly and said somewhat speechlessly:
"Don't look at me with such pitiful eyes. I'm not as miserable as you think.
Although I am no longer a hero now, at that time I was His Majesty's personal bodyguard and followed him in and out of military camps and fought in battles. "
As she spoke, she showed a nostalgic look again. She put her hand on the sword and looked at the scenery in the distance and said:
"Our Majesty is a wise king and holy master. Those who follow him, regardless of gender, can discover their talents and give them a chance to display them.
The upright has the advantage of being honest, and the cunning has the advantage of being cunning.
Even if he is a woman in the harem, he does not simply regard us as a tool to give birth to children, but respects the talents and virtues of each of us.
I dare say that there has never been another monarch like him throughout the ages. It is extremely lucky for us to catch up with him at this time and meet him. "
Wu Rou couldn't help but feel excited because of her words.
Concubine Yan Xian paused and added:
"The same is true for Si Niang. ... Earlier I thought that her fate was bad and I felt sorry for her. Now it seems that His Majesty wants to employ people. Isn't this good?"
She looked extremely happy, which was completely different from the anger that almost collapsed the hall when Wu Rou came just now.
Wu Rou couldn't help but also became happy and responded:
"Your Majesty is absolutely right!"
It seems that because of the support of Concubine Yan Xian, the matter between Miss Yan and her husband Tuyuhun was settled.
A few days later, according to His Majesty's arrangement, she first left the Yan family, quietly adopted the name of a relative of the Li family, and entered the Li family's clan.
Then she was canonized as Princess Honghua, which means promoting enlightenment, and lived in Princess Changle Mansion, waiting for her to marry Tuyuhun in the spring of next year.
During this period of time, Wu Rou never saw her again.She often thought of Miss Yan's appearance, the words she had said, and her shining eyes.
Thinking about such a big thing, for her, it is another earth-shaking change in her fate. Will she be afraid and uneasy?Will she ever regret it? …
……
One month after Miss Yan was awarded the title of Princess Honghua.
As the summer heat grew stronger, Wu Rou remembered that it was around this time that she entered the palace the first year, and she began to feel anxious again.
On this day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the palace suddenly issued an order to gather all the slaves from the Eastern Turks and send them back to live in the Turkic territories.
Arthurs was among them.
It happened so suddenly. When the eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to notify Arthur and asked him to go to Yeting Palace to pack his things, everyone was confused.
"Why is this?" Wu Rou asked the little eunuch anxiously.
"We don't know either. I heard that it was because of the assassination of His Majesty by Turks in the palace some time ago."
Arthur was so scared that he froze there. When he heard this, he immediately knelt down in front of Wu Rou, pulled her shawl and cried:
"Cairen... I don't want to go back. I have nothing in Turks and I don't know those people. I want to stay in the Tang Dynasty. Please help me, Cairen. Please save me."
She raised her head, her blue eyes full of pleading and panic, clutching Wu Rou's clothes tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw, trembling all over.
Wu Rou's mind was racing, her eyes flashed, and she comforted her and said:
"Don't worry, I'll go ask and find out what's going on."
Seeing this, the young eunuch squinted his eyes and persuaded:
"Oh, everyone knows how good the Tang Dynasty is, and they don't want to leave. But this is His Majesty's order. Hurry up and gather at the Yeting Palace. If you go late, the guards in the palace will come to drag you. By then, it won't hurt Wu. Talented person.”
The little eunuch finished speaking and left.
Arthur fell to the ground, with tears still on his face, but there was no sound anymore.
Wu Rou said quickly:
"Arthur, don't worry. You are of the Gaochang race, and you are not a pure Turk. I'll go find... I'll go find King Jin and ask. There must be room for maneuver. You wait until I come back."
He raised his feet and ran out.
……
……
No one is allowed to approach Wude Hall without His Majesty's order.
If someone goes there blindly and makes trouble, there is no need to report it to His Majesty, the guards will beat him up and drag him away.
Fortunately, she had been summoned by His Majesty a few days ago, and had been in and out with King Jin, so she was quite familiar with him.
"Wu Cai Ren, what are you doing here? Do you have an order?" The guards on guard slanted their spears, just in time to block her, and asked indifferently.
Wu Rou quickly took a step back, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her head, smoothed her hair, then put her hands in front of her body and said dignifiedly and solemnly:
"Is His Royal Highness King Jin here? I have something urgent to ask for."
The guard hesitated for a moment, moved his lips, and looked at Wu Rou without saying a word.
When she saw the drama, her eyebrows drooped again. Her beautiful and gentle eyebrows revealed eagerness and pity, and she looked directly at him and begged:
"Please send a message for me. Your Highness Prince Jin will definitely be willing to see me. It's really urgent."
The guard's cold face moved. He turned his head and said something to another person next to him, and that person went inside.
Wu Rou looked at the back of the man entering and waited anxiously, wondering if King Jin would lose his temper and not come. After the last separation, he seemed a little unhappy, and he was never seen again.
While she was feeling uneasy, she saw the guard coming out with a receptionist. She had seen the eunuch before, and he was one of His Majesty's side.
Wu Rou was shocked and a little at a loss.
How could it alert His Majesty?
She had never looked for Prince Jin before, she just happened to meet him at Hongwen Hall. Is it against the rules to ask someone to look for Prince Jin directly under His Majesty's nose this time?
After all, she is His Majesty's concubine, and Prince Jin... After what happened at the last polo match, it shows that he is old enough to choose a princess. Isn't it inappropriate for her to treat someone like a child again?
"Wu Cai Ren, your majesty will send you over." The eunuch who received him said.
"Okay." Wu Rou responded and followed calmly.
fair enough.
She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to see His Majesty directly if she asked him to see him directly. If she could see him now, wouldn't it be better to ask for a chance for Arthur in person?
Wu Rou entered the cabinet and saw that the emperor and King Jin happened to be together.
The emperor held a large piece of paper in his hand, which was filled with writing. Prince Jin stood beside him politely.
Wu Rou had seen that piece of paper before, and King Jin gave it to her as a reference for her homework, and it looked like this.
It seems that the emperor is checking Prince Jin's homework.
"The talented man Wu Rou has met with Your Majesty and the King of Jin." Wu Rou bowed and saluted.
