Yutai Bi

Chapter 197
It would be fine if the emperor didn't bring Wu Zhaoyi.Happened to bring.It also made the people guess that the emperor brought the empress empress, and this made a big fuss.The saying that Wu Zhaoyi was delusional about succeeding was also spread.

After the [-]th day, the yamen opened on the [-]th of the first month, and all ministries resumed work.The Yushitai in the court hall was the first to attack.The veterans cried and cursed.In a word, it is against the norms of common people's families to favor concubines and destroy wives. As an emperor, he must be more self-disciplined.How the first emperor respected the first empress, and Empress Cui was the daughter-in-law chosen by the first emperor himself.If Gao Zong favored Wu Zhaoyi blindly, he would be unfilial and unfaithful.

Gao Zong was dizzy from the noise, and he didn't know where to find an excuse to slap those old officials on the mouth.Du Yansui is back.

When I went out, I ordered five hundred soldiers from the Ministry of War.The Duke's Mansion has three hundred personal guards.When I came back, there were less than 200 personal guards.Most of the five hundred soldiers were old and weak, and there were less than 50 left.Quietly lined up outside the city gate, waiting for the will.

Gaozong was overjoyed and ordered him to return to the palace to answer his orders, postponed the early court time, and waited with all the officials.

General Du, who suppressed the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, returned to the court.People in Chang'an City flocked to the streets to watch the excitement.

The gates of the city were wide open, and Habayashi Wei personally went to the streets to stand guard to maintain order.Stand in two rows, from the gate of the city to the Danfeng Gate.

The team here entered the city, and Jing Chu returned to the mansion first with the guards of the Duke's mansion.

Mrs. Du and Cen Sanniang stood in front of Zhang Shiling in the main courtyard and waited.The main gate of the Duke's Mansion was opened, and everyone was dressed in filial piety. Jing Chu and the others all wore white filial sash around their belts. They dismounted silently in front of the gate of the mansion, and carried Du Zhien's coffin in.

"That's..." Mrs. Du's complexion changed, her voice trembled, "Didn't it mean that Yan Sui is entering the city?"

"Grandmother, not Mrs. Cen." Cen Sanniang said hastily.Glancing at Yin's mother quietly, she sighed secretly.

The spacious yard in the front yard was gradually filled with guards.The coffin was placed in the middle, and the personal guards took off their burdens one by one, and placed the ashes of the dead guards neatly beside the coffin.

Mrs. Du clenched her cane tightly, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Okay, they are all good boys from the house!"

Jing Chu bowed down first, and behind him he knelt neatly and guarded the ground, and said in unison, "The guards of the Duke's Mansion pay homage to the mistress!"

Mrs. Du glanced at the people standing around, took a deep breath and said: "When the first emperor was diving, he opened the Tiance Mansion and built the Tiance Army. Three hundred policy guards were hand-picked to reward Du Guogong's mansion and follow him from generation to generation. I hope you can't wait." Bear the grace of God and serve the country!"

These people turned out to be Emperor Taizong's Tiance Army!No wonder it is different from the guards in the mansion.Cen Sanniang looked at the group of people curiously.His eyes suddenly caught Danhua standing behind the team.She was wearing a light green dress with a white filial belt around her waist, and she was wearing a snail bun, not stained with any makeup, and stood silently aside.

Why did Danhua come back with his personal guards?Isn't she in the palace?Cen Sanniang thought suspiciously.Could it be that she was always by Du Yansui's side?Why didn't the guards mention it when they returned home?The more Cen Sanniang thought about it, the more something went wrong.

Jing Chu glanced at the coffin, and said in a deep voice, "Master Sun ordered that Du Zhien must be sent back to the mansion."

"Zhien?" Mrs. Du was surprised in surprise.

Turning around to look at Mother Yin, she had already rushed over and cried on the coffin: "Who knows you, knows you!"

"Mother!" Du Xifu couldn't bear it any longer, knelt down in front of the coffin and cried, "My son is unfilial and has been hiding it from you. Know your kindness, know your kindness...he died in battle, he didn't live in vain, your condolences Bar!"

Mother Yin turned around and hit him: "It's hard for me to hide it, you unfilial son!"

Du Xifu let her beat him, and Yin's mother beat him a few times, then threw herself into his arms and cried loudly.

Thinking of the most difficult days in the mansion, Mother Yin and the two sons were loyal and responsible. Mrs. Du watched Du Zhien grow up, and felt as if she was her own son in her heart. She couldn't help feeling sour and shed tears: "San Niang, go, you go and help Yin's mother get up."

Cen Sanniang hurried forward to help Yin's mother, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

Mother Yin cried for a while, but wiped her tears and said: "Your maidservant is fine. Your maidservant... Seeing that there is no news from him, she has already made up her mind."

After speaking, weeping again.

Cen Sanniang glanced over the rows of urns on the ground, and only had one thought, that Du Yansui would never go to the battlefield again in this life.She softly called the two maids to help Yin's mother to rest.Seeing Du Xifu kneeling in front of the coffin and weeping, he stepped forward to persuade him: "Choose a good day and let him die in peace."

Du Xifu turned around and kowtowed to her and Mrs. Du: "Young Master Sun was able to bring back Zhien's body from thousands of miles away. Xifu kowtowed to the master for his kindness!"

Jing Chu glanced at the urn on the ground, and felt sour.In the war, so many personal guards died, they could only burn their ashes.Being able to bring back Du Zhien's body, Young Master Sun is also an act of gratitude to their family.He stepped forward to support Du Xifu and said, "Du Zhien went quickly, without pain."

Du Xifu wiped away tears, feeling relieved a lot.

The guards got up and stood aside consciously.Only then did Danhua approach Pingting, Yingying kowtowed: "Slave Danhua, please greet the old lady and young lady."

Mrs. Du was also puzzled, and her eyes drifted to Jing Chu.

"Reporting to Madam, Young Master Sun was injured a little bit, thanks to Miss Danhua's care all the way. Young Master Sun entered the palace to answer his orders, and asked Miss Danhua to follow me back to the residence." Jing Chu hurriedly replied.

"To the old lady and the young lady. Ever since she heard that the young master was injured, Lady Zhaoyi sent her servants to serve her. From now on, the servants will be members of the Duke's Mansion." Danhua said respectfully.

What's the meaning?Wu Zhaoyi wants to install an eyeliner into the house?Cen Sanniang didn't know about the entanglement between Danhua and Du Yansui for a while, so she just turned her mind away.

Mrs. Du was surprised, but she didn't show it on her face: "In that case, you can stay."

"Yes!" Danhua kowtowed and stood up, standing next to the servants.

The mansion was quiet, waiting for Du Yansui to come back from the palace to worship the spirit.

For the first time since Jinshang succeeded to the throne, a large-scale rebellion broke out in the country.The leader was a beautiful female bandit leader who actually called herself Emperor Wen Jia.The one who put down the rebellion was a young general who was only 20 years old, the grandson of Cai Guogong.

Beautiful and handsome man, general and female bandit leader.Rebellion and rebellion.These words greatly stimulated the hearts of the people in Chang'an, and they flocked to the streets to see what Du Yansui looked like.

The storytellers in teahouses and wine shops have already rolled their tongues and started gossip while the tea drinkers and drinkers are waiting.

The Habayashi Army blocked a wide and empty road.Behind are the long-awaited Chang'an people.Crowds of people stretched their necks and waited.

"I'm coming!"

The people standing closest to the city gate yelled, and the crowd rushed forward, forcing the Habayashi guards to raise their spears horizontally, and the yamen guards swiped their whips in the air with a crackling sound before pressing down again. go back.

There was an older man showing off triumphantly: "When the first emperor's squadron returned to the court, Tiance's army was dressed in black and red armor, armed with silver guns, swords on their waists and longbows. They were all heroic. When the team stopped, the horses followed As if they could understand human speech, their hooves would never take a step forward. The team in front drank Long live my emperor in front of the palace gate, and the sound was transmitted wave after wave, shaking the ears of the people watching the excitement. Yes, it is extremely mighty..."

As he spoke, the sound of horseshoes could be heard from the city gate tower.

One person came out of the dark city gate first.Riding a tall white horse, wearing bright armor, black and white, carrying a red cherry spear, a sword across the waist, and a long bow and quiver hanging beside the saddle.A clear face under the helmet, with piercing phoenix eyes, swept around, the corners of his lips slowly raised, revealing a faint smile.

"Oh! That's Cai Guogong's cloak back then!" The well-informed old man shouted excitedly.

"General Du is mighty! General Du is mighty!"

The people shouted like a firecracker was fired, and the girl who was watching the excitement upstairs picked the silk flowers from her head, untied the sachet, and threw it towards Du Yansui, who was walking slowly in the middle of the street, like rain.

This is the ancient ritual, Du Yansui continued to move forward as if he didn't see it.

The city gate continued to come in a team of four.The armor is complete, the same long spears, waist knives, bows and arrows, and banners in their hands.It's just that the old man's hair is all gray, and the small one looks like a doll. He tried his best to maintain his majesty, but he disappointed the people who were waiting to see his majesty.

As soon as the ten or so lines passed by, the Qianniu Guards in red Qianniu uniforms came to dominate the formation.Splendid official robes and sand hats are neatly arranged.Immediately, it seemed that the team in front didn't care.

Is this the only person the class teacher will return to court?Not even a hundred people?Not to mention the common people, even the Habayashi Army on duty was dumbfounded.

In the past, there were many class teachers with thousands of people.It was specially made by the army camp after careful selection.There are as few as 500 people.The clothes are neat and the military appearance is clean.A team of less than a hundred people was outmatched by the Qianniuwei who was going to meet the escort.This kind of class team is so shabby that people's jaws drop.

The emperor and all the officials were waiting in the Xuande Hall.Those who inquired about the news also returned one after another.

When the reporting team arrived at the palace gate, the reporting team was a little sad.

According to the rules, as soon as the team arrived at the palace gate, they dismounted one after another and shouted loudly outside the Danfeng gate, long live the emperor.Then the general unarmed and entered the palace to listen to the announcement.The loud shouts could still be heard through the palace walls.The louder it is, the more face the emperor has.It's a long face thing.But today... the servant who reported the news silently retreated to the side.I just hope that the wind can bring in more sound.

After waiting for a while, there was indeed a faint cry, which was light and fleeting.
