Phoenix Hairpin - Chapter 687
[Chapter 687 Farewell]
Popular recommendation:
Before leaving, Lu Lin went to the East Palace to say goodbye to his daughter.
“Xiaoyu, I will lead the troops to set off tomorrow.”
Lu Lin stared at his daughter, his voice was very soft: “Everything in the court is supported by the prince. There is a queen in the harem. The children are not too young, and they can take care of themselves. Don’t think about anything, take care of your body. Well that’s the most important thing.”
Lu Mingyu endured the grief in his heart and whispered, “Dad, take care of yourself.”
Be sure to return to Beijing safely.
Lu Lin raised his eyebrows and smiled: “Don’t worry, at most one year, I will come back safely. By then, you should also be the Queen of Wei.”
Lu Mingyu gave a heavy nasal hum.
Lu Lin was equally reluctant in his heart, but said in his mouth: “As a military general, it is natural to be loyal to the country. The Yanchu rebellion is a major event, and only I can hold it back. The Marquis of Puyang is still a little short of heat. The only way is to send me there. Don’t hold grudges against him for this.”
“Xiaoyu, no matter what happens in the future, you have to be good with the prince, and don’t create a rift over this.”
It is unlucky to say such things before leaving.
Lu Mingyu quickly wiped away his tears and said angrily, “Don’t say that.”
Lu Lin laughed: “Okay, I won’t say it.”
Li Jue, Li Xuan and Li Cong each said goodbye to their grandfather with tears in their eyes.
After Lu Lin left, Lu Mingyu couldn’t calm down for a long time.
Until late at night, when Li Jing returned, Lu Mingyu was not in a good mood.
Knowing that she was in a bad mood, Li Jing was a little more careful with her words and actions: “Father-in-law will lead the army tomorrow and come to say goodbye to you today. Did you tell your father-in-law to take care?”
Lu Mingyu let out a dull hum.
Li Jing lay down beside her and put his hand around her shoulder: “Fourth brother will go out with the army tomorrow.”
Lu Mingyu had known about the fourth prince’s supervision of the army two days ago.
Hearing the helpless sigh in Li Jing’s voice, Lu Mingyu’s heart softened and said softly: “Fourth brother has a clear mind and is walking the right way. In the future, you can pick him a wealthy vassal land and let him join the vassal earlier. That’s what he wants.”
Li Jing sighed: “I won’t treat him badly. He and I are the only brothers who grew up together. I hope he can stay in the court and help me.”
Lu Mingyu said lightly: “With the precedents of Li Hao, Li Chang, and Li Yi, the fourth brother just wants to help you, but he has to think twice. It’s better to leave the right and wrong place earlier and go to your own domain, so that you can be the master of the house and not mess with you. People are afraid.”
This is exactly what the Fourth Prince intended.
Li Jing was silent for a moment, his hands tightened, and whispered in Lu Mingyu’s ear: “Xiaoyu, I feel a little uncomfortable.”
“In my previous life, I died early. I was unwilling in every possible way before I died. I was a wandering soul for several years, and I was extremely indignant when I saw brothers Li Hao and Li Chang sitting on the dragon chair one after another.”
“Rebirth, I will never give this throne to anyone. Jiangshan and you, I want it.”
“Now, I am one step away from the throne. When the father is buried, I will be able to ascend the throne. Everything I originally thought is at my fingertips. It is more than ten years earlier than I expected.”
“But for some reason, I’m not very happy right now. Instead, I feel a little empty.”
He got what he wanted, but he also lost his father and siblings.
Lu Mingyu sighed slightly: “Too many people have died during this time. Don’t talk about you, I don’t think it’s good.”
Watching the familiar people around him die one by one, it seems that even the temperature around him has been taken away.
Even though it is hot and dry, my heart is always cold.
At this moment, the husband and wife embraced intimately, and the cold and empty feeling faded a little.
Li Jing didn’t speak any more, just hugged Lu Mingyu tightly.
…
Before leaving, the fourth prince said goodbye to Zhao Yu and Concubine Qin.
With tears streaming down her face, Zhao Yu choked and said, “You must take care and come back safely.”
Concubine Qin was out of breath from crying, grabbed the fourth prince’s arm tightly, and cried bitterly: “Yanchu rebels, it’s none of your business. This country belongs to the prince, he should worry about hard work. .
Who put you out there?
”
“The army will set off tomorrow, and you still have time to regret it. Go to the prince and tell him that you are not going!”
Concubine Qin’s long fingernails pinched the fourth prince’s arms blue.
The fourth prince didn’t care about the pain, he stretched out his hand to hold Concubine Qin’s other hand: “Mother concubine, I personally went to ask the second brother for this, and the second brother agreed to me.”
“King Xingyang led 50,000 elite soldiers, twice as many as the rebels. I’ll be fine.”
Concubine Qin cried: “I don’t care about this. In short, I don’t allow you to go. Aren’t you afraid that the prince will be jealous? If you don’t go, I will go for you. I will kneel and beg him to let you live. Where, I will give you a piece of vassal land, we will leave the capital together, and we will never come back.”
The fourth prince had a headache when his mother cried.
Instead, Zhao Yu stopped crying, wiped her tears, supported Concubine Qin, and said in a low voice, “Concubine Mother, this is the right thing for Your Highness to do.”
“The prince was afraid of the Zhao family’s army, and asked my father to send 20,000 soldiers, but he did not let my father lead the army. King Xingyang became the main general. This clearly weakened the Zhao family’s army.”
“The Crown Prince can trust His Highness. However, if His Highness wants to leave the capital, the Crown Prince may not agree to it. What if the Crown Prince keeps His Highness in the capital for ten or eight years?”

Concubine Qin couldn’t stop crying, and looked up at Zhao Yu in a daze: “Shouldn’t the prince expect Axian to leave the capital sooner? How could he keep Axian from leaving?”
Zhao Yu said in a low voice: “If it was me, I would do it. Let His Highness stay in the capital, give him some free time, look right in front of your eyes, and you won’t be able to turn the wind and waves. Just leave the vassal, stay away from the capital, and live forever. Out of the heart of rebellion, there will be endless troubles.”
Qin Fei was so frightened that she almost jumped up: “How can there be such a reason in the world.”
The fourth prince took over the words: “Why not. If I were the crown prince, I wouldn’t want my younger brother to be a vassal. Why give him vassal lands and let him fly away and be happy? I will put him under house arrest in the capital until he dies of old age.”
Qin Fei’s scalp was about to explode, and her voice trembled: “Then, what should I do then?”
The fourth prince slowed down his voice: “So, I have to make a contribution to the court. If I propose to be a vassal again, the second brother will be embarrassed to refuse.”
“His Royal Highness is right.” Zhao Yu took over the words, and her voice softened: “If you want to dispel the doubts and scruples of the prince, you have to work hard and contribute to the court. Loyalty is not something you just say. ”
Being the prince and being the younger brother of the emperor are completely different.
Concubine Qin was stunned for a long time, wiped away her tears, and began to tell the fourth prince: “You go out with the army and get along well with King Xingyang. If there is anything in the future, King Xingyang can say one sentence for you, which is worth a hundred thousand words of others.”
At last, Concubine Qin was appeased.
The fourth prince breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, “I have written down everything the concubine said.”
