Chapter 1302 Returning to Beijing one after another
Before the army returned to the court, all injured generals were sent back to Beijing first.
Hongye personally escorted Prince An. The two men had crossed paths before. At that time, everyone had their own agendas. Who would have thought that one day, the two would go to the battlefield to defend the Northern Tang Dynasty?
King Wei and King Shun accompanied the large team to protect the three giants. They returned with the large team, leaving one hundred thousand soldiers at the border. The rest returned to Beijing first.
When King An returned to the capital, Princess An had already learned that he was injured before the battle and lost an arm. Therefore, when Hongye and others escorted him back to the capital, they reported the itinerary along the way and arrived in the capital. Princess An took her daughter Princess Anzhi in the city.
Welcome at the door.
The setting sun shone on Princess An's tearful eyes. With a slightly trembling smile on her lips, she watched the Qingqiu slowly arrive at the city gate.
She held An Zhi in her arms and did not get off the carriage, just waiting for him to come.
King An's injuries were basically not serious now. When he saw the princess greeting her at the city gate, he wiped the stubble on his face carelessly, smiled from afar, rode forward, and took a deep look.
, then he turned over and fell off his horse, and walked up quickly.
He first picked up Anzhi, who was already asleep. After her father came over, she woke up, glanced at him blankly, and then fell asleep again. King An lowered his head and kissed her little cheek.
The stubble made her feel uncomfortable. She woke up with a tremor, took another look, pouted and fell asleep again.
Prince An laughed, hugged Nurse An Zhirang away, stared at Princess An, and said hoarsely: "I'm back!
" Princess An tried her best not to look at his empty arms, but only focused on his face. The tears she held back slid down her cheeks, and she said more loudly: "Okay, just come back. I'm proud of you!"
He held her in his arms with one hand. Princess An's nose felt sore. She smelled the breath of wind, frost and war on his body. She stretched out her hands to hug him tightly and murmured: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"
Hong Ye rode his horse and followed behind, giving him a faint glance, "I'm leaving first!"
No one paid attention to him, a single dog. There were people walking around, looking at loving couples. However, the city gate guard handed him a cigarette and hot tea, and said a few flattering words.
Hongye didn't answer and rode away.
When I returned to the mansion, the yard was piled with fallen leaves and the house was full of dust. It was deserted and deserted. If you wanted to drink water, you had to boil it yourself.
He gave the horse a handful of dry fodder. Seeing the horse eating deliciously, he couldn't help but murmured: "I'm not as good as you."
The door was kicked open, and Yu Wenhao's voice filled his ears, "Old Hong, are you back?
Let’s go and have a drink in the mansion!”
Hong Ye turned around and saw Yu Wenhao coming in excitedly with Xu Yi and Gu Si, followed by Ling Yan. He had his hands behind his back and his eyes were clear and deep through the gap between the three of them.
Hongye stretched out his hand to hold the horse's head and said calmly: "Eating wine?
I may not be free, I have something to do."
Yu Wenhao stepped forward and looked at him, "What are you busy with?
We came here specially to invite you. We were supposed to greet you at the city gate today, but something happened unexpectedly. We rushed to the Yamen to deal with it. When we finished handling the matter, we rushed to the city gate and said that you had already left, so we
Come to you quickly."
Hongye raised his eyes, feeling very embarrassed, "But my matter is quite urgent. I really can't drink with you. Let's do it next time. I'll be the host next time!"
Yu Wenhao was a little disappointed, "Is it so urgent?"
Hong Ye gently swept the horse's head, "Isn't it?"
Gu Si said: "Then I'll invite the young master next time, but the banquet has been booked and the young master won't be available, so we have to go too."
Yu Wenhao hummed, then turned back to Hongye and said, "Then let us know when you are free, and we will arrange time to get together."
After that, take the big guys and leave.
Hong Ye lowered her eyes and felt hatred in her teeth. She couldn't believe that they just left like this. If you sincerely invited people to have a drink, why didn't you ask for more?
After a while, the door opened again, and Ling Yan stood at the door, looking up at him with calm eyes, "You really won't come?"
Hongye kicked over the trough, "Wait for me and I'll change my clothes!"
Yu Wenhao booked a banquet at Hengfu Restaurant. There was no one else around, not to mention the ministers of the court. He knew that Hongye was not used to being with too many people, so he accommodated him, which was considered as a thank you to him for going to the battlefield in person.
The atmosphere was a little reserved at first, but when everyone talked about things on the battlefield and drank a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became warmer.
Jing Jingyan basically didn't speak much. He listened to them quietly and then poured wine for them. Even when he was nervous, he seemed nervous. Although he knew he won in the end, the process was really scary.
Hong Ye finally became the person who talked the most. He talked about Prince An because he was the one who escorted Prince An back to the capital along the way.
He looked at Yu Wenhao and said, "There is something I don't know whether to say or not."
After three drinks, Yu Wenhao was already tipsy. Hearing these words, he immediately raised his hands and said, "Mom like you, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Hongye looked at him, "Actually, General Qin and I both contacted King An at the beginning. King An really wanted to use external forces to help him fight for the crown prince's position, but in the end, the agreement was not reached. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
Seeing him suddenly talking about such a serious matter, everyone couldn't help but stop and look at him.
Hongye turned the cup and looked at Yu Wenhao, "It's because King An is unwilling to betray Beitang. He is even unwilling to provide some military information about Beitang. He is even more unwilling to let him install internal agents."
Yu Wenhao knew about the arrangement of internal agents. It was all arranged by Ah Ru for Prince Hong Lie and had nothing to do with Hong Ye.
This is also the reason why Hongye did not quickly occupy domestic market share in Beitang.
Gu Si smiled and said, "Does that mean that he just wants nothing more than nothing?"
"He can pay the price, but the price he is willing to pay is his own price, not Beitang's."
Hongye put down the cup and smiled, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not speaking for him, but looking at all the things this person has done, he is really not a treacherous person. He is more self-interested and doesn't care about brotherhood. This is consistent with
Compared with Yu Wenjun, he is considered good. Yu Wenjun is willing to betray me for the sake of the crown prince's position, because he has taken the initiative to contact General Qin. This is when I exchanged letters with General Qin, he mentioned
It's a pity that General Qin is not willing to help him, he is useless."
Xu Yi said: "Whether he is a treacherous person or not, no one can say it, only the people who have been harmed by him can say it. The King of Wei was the worst harmed by him. He really almost destroyed his family, but now the King of Wei and
He's fine too."
Gu Si said: "Those brothers are really destined to be together. They both lost their arms."
Xu Yi hurriedly swallowed the wine and said, "Here, King An is slightly better. King An still has one ear missing."
Gu Si glanced at him, what's the point of fighting for victory?
He looked at Yu Wenhao again, "It's not difficult to break an arm. Just go to Dazhou."
Calm Yan shook his head, "It's useless to go there, the regent won't help him."
Everyone was startled and looked at Ling Yan. Yu Wenhao asked, "Why?"
