Chapter 936 Making wedding clothes for others
Shang Ruyi was shocked and looked at him with wide eyes in disbelief.
Lou Yingxiong committed suicide out of fear of crime!
She immediately got out of bed, sat next to Yuwen Ye, and said in a low and tense voice: "Did he really hang himself?"
"... ”
"Could it be -"
Yu Wenye turned to look at her, with a twinkle in his eyes - this was exactly what he was thinking when he just heard the news, but he He didn't ask the little eunuch who came to deliver the news, but after listening silently, he asked Chang Wan to reward him with a piece of silver, and then turned back. At this moment, when he heard Shang Ruyi ask the same question, he thought for a while and said: "Even if it is not suicide, nothing else can be found."
"..."
"They do things, I won’t be sloppy.”
Shang Ruyi took a deep breath.
The "they" Yu Wenye said refers to the prince and the people around him. Yesterday's incident led to Lou Yingxiong's arrest, but the emperor did not punish him immediately. Instead, he was imprisoned. Obviously, he wanted to continue the interrogation, but this created new problems. In addition to intercepting and killing Pei Xingyuan, Lou Yingxiong also Are there any other secrets?
Do these secrets have anything to do with the prince?
What should I do if the trial comes out?
Therefore, the death of Lou Yingxiong, who has lost the emperor's trust and is even less likely to lead the troops in this expedition to the Eastern Capital, will be beneficial to the prince whether it is voluntary or not, and if it is true It was the prince who asked him to die. Whether he actually committed suicide voluntarily, was forced to commit suicide, or had others do it, the prince's method would leave no trace behind and could be used as a weapon.
Even——
Shang Ruyi suddenly thought that Yu Wenyuan did not interrogate him all night, but detained Lou Yingxiong for one night. What was the purpose?
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart, suddenly soaking through her limbs and bones. She couldn't help but shudder, and asked hurriedly: "How will your father handle this matter?" "What happened?"
Yu Wenye said: "The person is dead, and he committed suicide out of fear of crime, and the 'chief culprit' is If we escape, then there will be no room for further investigation of this case."
As he spoke, he sighed softly and said: "So this matter can only be discontinued. Here."
Shang Ruyi frowned: "But Pei Xingyuan will never have a chance?"
"Not necessarily."
"Why?"
Yu Wenye smiled and shook his head: "What you have been thinking about in your dreams, but now you have forgotten it?"
"Ah !"
Shang Ruyi suddenly thought of something, took a deep breath, and whispered: "By the way, if this time it is true-"
At this point, the two of them looked at each other. Shang Ruyi didn't say any more, but there was a twinkle in their eyes. Yu Wenye stretched out his hand to gather the clothes that were about to slip off her shoulders, and said, "Wait for your father's decree."
The decree came very quickly.
In the early dynasty, Yu Wenyuan issued an edict and appointed Yu Wenye as the Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province. He led 30,000 elite troops to rescue Cijian and set off five days later.
As soon as he heard the news, the big stone that had been weighing on his heart these days suddenly shattered into powder. Shang Ruyi first breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed happily, facing Yu Wenye Said: "Great! This is really great!"
Finally, the rain has passed and the sky has cleared up.
He was finally able to lead the troops on an expedition!
Looking at Shang Ruyi’s eyes that were bent into two slits with a smile, Yu Wenye also smiled. This result was what he had been dreaming of these days, but now that it was really in front of him, he looked very embarrassed. Calmly, he just smiled, with a reserved look in his stern eyes: "Yes, that's great."
After the initial joy, Shang Ruyi immediately felt his calmness.
Of course, Yu Wenye is not a person who shows his emotions. Moreover, the more serious changes he encounters, the calmer he becomes. It's just that there seems to be some other emotions in his calmness at the moment.
Shang Ruyi thought for a while, and then said: "But, set off again in five days? Is it too long?"
Yu Wenye glanced at her and said: "Father originally decreed that three We will send troops in the future.”
“Then what?”
“I said that the army needs to be fully prepared before setting off in five days.”
“Huh? ”
Shang Ruyi immediately felt something was wrong and looked at Yu Wenye with a somewhat surprised expression: "Why?"
Yu Wenye looked at her: "What do you think?"
The initial joy Like the tide, it was surging just now, but now it gradually faded from Shang Ruyi's heart, and reason once again took over his mind. Shang Ruyi thought about Yu Wenyuan's will again, and immediately said: "This time, only 30,000 soldiers and horses were given to you?"
You know, before the expedition to Fufeng, Yu Wenye only brought 50,000 soldiers and horses. , but another 100,000 horses were already waiting for him in Fufeng. Although 80,000 horses were lost in Xue Xian's hands before they arrived in Fufeng, at least tens of thousands of horses were left for him to dispatch.
But this time - from the letter sent back by Shen Tutai, we know that almost all the troops led by Yu Wencheng were lost. Only those retained by Shen Tutai and Shen Wuzheng, even if they all merged with Yu Wenye's troops , and it will not exceed 50,000.
In this case, how to go to Luoyang to compete with an army of more than 100,000 people?
Looking at Yu Wenye's deep eyes, Shang Ruyi frowned and said solemnly: "You want to ask your father for troops again, so you delay the expedition?"
Yu Wenye shakes He shook his head and said: "At present, the imperial court can only mobilize this group of people at most. If the guards of the capital are too weak-"
At this point, his tone sank.
Shang Ruyi immediately understood that after all, the world is in chaos now. Even if Yu Wenyuan has inherited the unification, he is still proclaimed emperor in a corner of Guanzhong. In addition to Luoyang, the biggest enemy, there are actually many separatist regimes around him. Even if the power is not threatened, we must beware of them taking advantage of the situation.
What's more, there is a Turk hanging above their heads like a knife.
Recalling Ashina Zhuxie who had fought against them before, Shang Ruyi felt even colder in his heart.
So the 30,000 Yu Wenyuan gave him was already the money that the imperial court could afford. If the attack on the eastern capital failed again this time, it would be difficult for Yu Wenyuan to send troops to the east in the short term.
Shang Ruyi said: "Then, what are you doing delaying these days?"
Yu Wenye glanced at her and said: "I am the Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai, Shanxi Province, Shaanxi Province. Naturally, he went on an expedition for the imperial court, but——"
"But what?"
"But I, Yu Wenye, can't make wedding clothes for others every time, especially this time, I will risk my life!"
人As soon as you go to the battlefield, you will naturally have to fight hard, but Shang Ruyi understands that this time is more difficult to fight than any other battle in the past, and you have to fight hard.
So——
She looked at Yu Wenye with wide eyes: “You, do you want to——”
