Today is the day when Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan set out for Shuobei.
Emperor Wen personally led all the civil and military officials in the court to see Yun Zheng off at the north gate of the imperial city.
Moreover, they were waiting here for Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan.
It is definitely a great honor to have Emperor Wen lead his ministers to wait for you.
Such a large event naturally attracted a lot of people to watch.
However, the people were not allowed to move forward and could only watch from afar.
Emperor Wen sat on the imperial carriage, silently looking towards the north gate with a look of sadness at parting.
The battle of Shuobei was imminent, and he was reluctant to let Yun Zheng go to Shuobei.
But he and Yun Zheng had already been pushed to the forefront, so he had to let Yun Zheng go to Shuobei.
"Do you think Lao Liu will be able to come back after this trip?"
...
...
Emperor Wen sighed and asked Yun Li beside him in a low voice.
"I will definitely come back!"
Yun Li also pretended to be reluctant and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, father, there are capable people around my sixth brother! They will definitely protect my sixth brother! When my sixth brother returns victoriously, I will go out of the city ten miles to welcome him on your behalf!"
He wished Yun Zheng would never come back!
Moreover, Yun Zheng must not come back!
This bastard is deliberately planning to go to Shuobei. If he really comes back, I'm afraid he will bring troops back to force the emperor to abdicate!
However, although he had many guesses in his mind, he did not dare to tell Emperor Wen now.
Now that he said Yun Zheng was going to rebel, Emperor Wen would probably slap him in the face.
Without solid evidence, he would definitely be beaten if he said that Yun Zheng was rebelling.
Although he was made the crown prince, his position was not yet stable.
It’s not impossible to depose the crown prince!
"I am very happy that you have this heart!"
Emperor Wen nodded in satisfaction and asked again, "What time is it? Why haven't Lao Liu and the others come yet?"
Just as Yun Li was about to answer, a long team came towards the north gate.
"Father, my sixth brother and his friends are here!"
Yun Li immediately pointed to the city gate and reminded Emperor Wen.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wen stood up immediately.
Under the gaze of Emperor Wen, Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan rushed out of the city gate first, rode their horses towards Emperor Wen, then dismounted a hundred meters away from Emperor Wen and walked quickly towards Emperor Wen.
"Your son pays respect to your father!"
The two of them saluted Emperor Wen together.
However, Shen Luoyan's expression looked a little grim.
Emperor Wen just thought that Shen Luoyan was reluctant to leave his family and didn't think much about it.
"No need to be polite!"
Emperor Wen personally stepped forward and helped the two men up.
"Thank you, Father."
Yun Zheng said apologetically, "When I was leaving the mansion, my mother-in-law and the others came to see me off. I was delayed a little and made your father wait for a long time. I hope your father will forgive me."
"No problem!"
Emperor Wen patted Yun Zheng's shoulder heavily, "I won't say any more unnecessary words! Listen to me carefully, your third brother just said that when you return victorious, he will personally go out of the city ten miles to greet you!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Yun Zheng looked at Yun Li with "gratefulness", and immediately performed a half-body worship ceremony towards Yun Li.
Seeing Yun Zheng saluting him, Yun Li suddenly felt like he had let out a sigh of relief.
You bastard!
Didn’t you refuse to pay respect to this prince the day before yesterday?
Now, don’t you have to pay your respects to this prince obediently?
"Sixth brother, no need to be so polite!"
Yun Li raised his hand slightly and said with a smile.
Yun Li was laughing happily when he suddenly felt a sharp gaze sweeping over him.
Before Yun Li could react, Emperor Wen scolded him with a dark face: "Your Highness, do you want me to pay you a respect as well?"
"Father...I dare not!"
Yun Li was a little confused and had no idea what his father was thinking.
Is there anything wrong with me telling Yun Zheng not to be so polite?
"Don't dare?"
Emperor Wen snorted coldly and reprimanded with displeasure: "You have only been crowned as the crown prince for a few days, and the enthronement ceremony has not even been held yet, and you are already acting like a crown prince in front of your sixth brother?"
"Father, please calm down."
Yun Li quickly defended himself, "I definitely don't mean to show off in front of my sixth brother."
"No pretense?"
Emperor Wen looked at Yun Li with a dark face, "Your sixth brother called you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and you responded? Your sixth brother paid you a respectful visit, and you accepted it? Aren't you just showing off? Are you his third brother, or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Emperor Wen's series of questions made Yun Li extremely frightened.
He didn't expect that such a thing would lead to so many criticisms.
Yun Li was very nervous and said quickly, "I will always be Sixth Brother's Third Brother!"
He understood!
This bastard just saluted him and called him "Your Highness the Crown Prince".
In this situation, according to their previous close relationship, he should now pretend to be nice to Yun Zheng, saying that Yun Zheng was too distant, and should also let Yun Zheng still call him Third Brother!
Only in this way can I show my closeness to him.
Only in this way, my father will not feel that he is acting like a prince in front of Yun Zheng!
I accidentally didn't say anything and got tricked by this bastard!
"Father, you misunderstood my third brother."
Yun Zheng quickly helped Yun Li to speak well of him, "Third brother is so kind to me, he definitely doesn't mean to show off to me."
After saying that, Yun Zheng gave Yun Li a smile that only they could understand.
Yun Li saw it all and became even more certain that this bastard was plotting against him.
This bastard is so fucking insidious!
You are digging your own grave all the time!
"Look at your sixth brother, he's always protecting you!"
Emperor Wen glared at Yun Li in anger and said, "Remember this, a prince should be virtuous! I made you the prince so that you can help me deal with state affairs, not so that you can use your status as the prince to show off in front of your brothers!"
Yun Li quickly bowed and said humbly, "I will remember your father's teachings!"
At this moment, Yun Li kept cursing in his heart.
This bastard is so shameless!
After doing something bad to yourself, you still pretend to be a good person!
Lao Liu, just wait for me!
Yun Li roared madly in his heart.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the city gate.
Emperor Wen frowned slightly and asked unhappily, "What's going on? Who is making such a loud noise?"
"Your Majesty, look over there!"
An imperial guard screamed and pointed at the team coming out of the city gate.
Listening to the guard's words, Emperor Wen subconsciously looked towards the city gate.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Wen became extremely angry.
coffin!
Six flatbed carriages pulling coffins followed Yun Zheng and his team as they left the city!
There is a coffin on every carriage!
Today is the day when Lao Liu and his wife are heading to Shuobei. How dare someone follow them dragging a coffin?
Isn’t this a curse on the six old men and their spouses?
Emperor Wen's face suddenly fell, and he roared murderously: "Go, drag all the people dragging the coffin down and chop them off!"
The imperial guards were about to take action when Yun Zheng suddenly said, "Father, calm down! I asked someone to prepare those coffins!"
What?
Upon hearing Yun Zheng's words, Emperor Wen and everyone around him were all stunned.
Did he order people to prepare these coffins?
Is there anyone who prepares a coffin for himself?
No wonder Shen Luoyan’s face looked so bad!
It turns out it’s because of these coffins.
"Sixth Brother, what do you mean?"
Emperor Wen's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. "Are you going to tell the whole world that it was me and your brothers who forced you to go to Shuobei to die?"
"I dare not!"
Yun Zheng shook his head quickly, and after a while he gathered his emotions, he said passionately, "I am useless, but I was granted the title of King of Jingbei by your grace!"
"Father, I have no way to repay your kindness. I can only bear the thought of dying and rush to Shuobei with my coffin!"
"If we lose this battle, I will return to my hometown and be buried in the north!"
"Even if I turn into a pile of dry bones, I will do my best to protect Shuobei forever!"
"I may die, but I will never disgrace the name of King Jingbei..."
