Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 385: Accidents (3)
Three days later.
Xingyang King Lu Lin entered the Emperor's tent with a solemn expression.
Emperor Yongjia stayed up for two nights and never got a good night's sleep. His eyes were red from the boil, and the beard on his jaw was untidy and messy. With his hands on his back, he walked up and down the tent.
Hearing the footsteps, Emperor Yongjia turned his head and sighed at Lu Lin: "The prince sent someone to send a letter to me. He has already led his troops back to Beijing two days ago."
"There are only 2,000 soldiers by his side. If he encounters Yan soldiers on the road, or Yan country's civilian bandits, it will be bad!"
Emperor Yongjia felt sorry for his son, and Lu Lin also felt sorry for his son-in-law, so he couldn't help sighing heavily: "Yan Tuo led the troops into the Great Wei territory and went straight to the capital. When the news spread to the ears, let alone His Royal Highness, Even the minister has the urge to go back to Beijing."
"This battle has come to a critical moment, and we are about to win a big victory. How can we give up in vain! If the army can't move, it is appropriate for His Royal Highness to return to Beijing."
"Your Majesty, rest your mind for now. His Royal Highness has led troops to fight for more than a year. He is very familiar with the war, and his eyes are precise and decisive. Even if there is an accident on the road, His Royal Highness can turn disaster into good fortune!"
Emperor Yongjia gave a wry smile: "It's too late to stop him. Anyway, let him go! I'm just looking forward to it, he will take care of his body."
The eldest prince was injured and his right leg was crippled. Whenever Emperor Yongjia thought about this, he felt an unbearable colic in his heart. When the news of the arrow in the prince's chest came, he was even more heartbroken.
However, he led the army to fight and could not leave the military tent without permission, so he could only keep sending his entourage to visit the prince. Make sure that the prince has no worries about his life, so he can sleep peacefully.
Now that the crown prince's injury has not healed, he will lead his troops back to the capital. How can Emperor Yongjia not be worried.
Lu Lin had no choice but to open his mouth and said: "It's useless to worry about these things now. I still think about ending the battle between Chu and the land earlier and returning to Beijing after a great victory."
Emperor Yongjia nodded slightly, thinking of Yan Tuo, who led 50,000 elite soldiers to attack the Great Wei Jingcheng, he gritted his teeth with hatred: "This Yan Tuo, who first injured the prince and then attacked Great Wei Jingcheng, is really hateful! I must personally Take his dog's life!"
When mentioning the capital, Lu Lin couldn't help frowning and whispered, "Since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, the capital has been safe and sound. The Yan army is under the city, I am afraid that people will be uneasy."
No matter how chaotic the world is, the capital has never been chaotic.
Emperor Yongjia's eyes flashed astringent, and his tone was low and firm: "With General Liang here, the capital will definitely be able to defend. As for the palace," Emperor Yongjia glanced at Lu Lin: "The queen mother is not in trouble, the queen still I'm sick, I can only rely on the Crown Princess to support me."
Lu Lin nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Xiaoyu has a strong temperament and will definitely be able to hold on."
At this point, I'm fortunate to have a daughter-in-law who was born in a general and has a strong will.
Emperor Yongjia was rather relieved, and his mood after a few days of tension was relieved a little.
At this time, an internal servant came to report: "Report to the Emperor, His Royal Highness the First Prince is out to see you."
Emperor Yongjia frowned and nodded, "Let him in!"
Lu Lin retired quite wisely, and when he set up the military tent and went out, he happened to meet the first prince who was approaching.
Those who are familiar with the First Prince will be greatly surprised when they see his appearance at this time.
The eldest prince was originally a handsome young man, but now he is too thin, with a lingering scowl between his brows and eyes. Leaning on a cane under his right arm, he walked slowly forward.
The maid on the side followed closely, trying to reach out to support the master, but the first prince glared back: "I can go by myself."
The chamberlain had to withdraw his hand embarrassedly, his eyes still fixed on his master. I am afraid that the master will not support his right leg and fall.
It can be seen that the eldest prince wants to maintain his pride and decency.
But this look is no longer decent.
Lu Lin secretly regretted in his heart, and bowed his hands to salute: "I have seen Your Highness!"
The eldest prince walked past Lu Lin as if he didn't hear him.
The waiter hurriedly chased after him, and when he passed by Lu Lin, he cast an apologetic glance. After the eldest prince was injured, his temperament was changeable and his mood was uncertain.
Lu Lin didn't take it to heart at all, and strode back to the military tent.
Zheng Zhong and Lu Fei were all waiting in the military tent, and surrounded him with concern: "What is the reason for the emperor to call his father-in-law (foster father)?"
Lu Lin exhaled heavily, with a helpless expression: "His Royal Highness has led the troops back to Beijing."
Zheng Zhong and Lu Fei were stunned for a moment, however, they exclaimed in unison: "His Royal Highness is a real man!"
Their wives and children are in the capital! Ever since they learned that Yan Tuo led the troops to attack the capital, they have been unable to sleep and eat at ease like frying. Knowing that the prince had returned to Beijing, Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Lin said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness has not recovered from his injuries, so he's on his way back to Beijing, and he just hopes to be safe and sound."
Lu Fei immediately picked up the conversation: "It's me, and I'll go back to the capital without saying a word."
Shenzhen nodded in approval: "The husband is alive, he can do something or not. If it were me, I would also go back."
Lu Lin: "..."
Okay! He had to admit that knowing that the prince had led the troops back to Beijing for a long time, he felt much more at ease.
No matter how capable Xiaoyu is, she is a woman after all and lives in the harem. The battle depends on General Liang. Once the prince returns, he can order troops from all over the world to help him. As long as the capital can hold for a month or two, the siege can be cleared.
……
In the military tent.
The eldest prince, supported by crutches, folded his hands and clasped his fists in salute: "My son has seen the father and emperor."
Emperor Yongjia's brows were slightly loose, and there was a bit of reproach in his tone: "I told you before to take good care of your body. You have to walk around with a cane every day. If this goes on, when will you be able to take good care of your body. Take good care of your legs."
The eldest prince twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly and said in a low voice, "My son's legs are not getting better."
Emperor Yongjia couldn't hear such self-pity and self-pity words, his expression darkened, and his tone became a bit heavier: "A good life is better than anything else."
"It's just that you can no longer lead troops to fight. You are still my eldest son, the eldest prince of the Great Wei Dynasty. In the future, when the world will be pacified, I will point you to a fertile land as a vassal land, and you will not be without your prosperity~IndoMTL. com~ But what he thinks is not a rich and vassal land.
Since he was sensible, he has aimed at the position of the crown prince under one person and above ten thousand.
Li Jing was crowned prince, but he was in pain but not despair. He ambitiously thought of making achievements on the battlefield and wanting to fight for a splendid future.
Now, there's nothing left.
Even if Li Jing died on the battlefield, the royal father would not choose a son with a broken right leg to be the crown prince.
All kinds of dark, obscure, sad and angry emotions were mixed in one place, stirring in my chest.
The eldest prince lowered his head and hid the sadness in his eyes: "I am so cherished by my father, my son thanked my father."
Emperor Yongjia raised his brows and tried to appease the eldest prince.
At this moment, the third prince, Li Hao, came to ask to see him.
