Chapter 774 Sending Children Away
Chapter 774 Sending Children Away
"Brother, I promise I will keep my eldest nephew's family and my youngest niece safe with me, but I still have a question."
After Wu Chengsi asked Wu Yanji to leave, Wu Chengye asked Wu Chengsi questions.
"Logically speaking, with a large army outside to fend off the enemy and capable people gathered in the court, no matter what, there shouldn't be any major changes. Why do you act like you're entrusting an orphan to someone else?"
Wu Chengsi's face changed drastically from the very beginning when he asked this question. Wu Chengye wanted to ask, but Wu Chengsi did not give him the opportunity.
He had never asked this question until now.
In his opinion, even if there was a Wu Sizong in Wu Sansi's gang, the imperial court had a large number of troops in the surrounding areas of Luoyang and in the city.
Even if these people make a big fuss, they can't cause any trouble.
As long as the Left and Right Yulin Guards took action boldly, and joined forces with the Left and Right Jinwu Guards and the Left and Right Wu Guards and the Left and Right Yuqian Guards outside the city, plus the Left and Right Longwu Guards who could return to defend Luoyang at any time, the Left and Right Jianmen Guards would not be able to make any waves.
"Chengye, now that things have come to this, I have to ask you a question."
"Tell me, who is closest to you or to Emperor Yizong?"
Wu Chengsi looked at Wu Chengye seriously and asked back.
"Of course we're brothers, and the relationship is the closest. You saw me right after I came out of my mother's womb. We've been friends for over forty years!"
"He is Wu Yizong, and the friendship between them is only later. How can cousins compare to brothers?"
Wu Chengye was very confident in his relationship with his elder brother, so he answered very quickly.
After he finished answering, he suddenly realized something. He and his elder brother Wu Chengsi had such a good relationship, so what about Wu Yizong and Wu Sizong?
Is the relationship between those two brothers worse than the relationship between their brothers?
"No, big brother, you mean..." Wu Chengye took a deep breath, "Emperor Yizong and Emperor Sizong were together? Maybe they both..."
"Well, if you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't even have thought of it. To be honest, I'm very worried about Emperor Yizong now." Wu Chengsi took a sip of cold tea.
"My uncle..."
Wu Yanhao felt as if his throat was being locked, making it difficult for him to breathe.
When he was young, Wu Yizong treated him very well, and he and Wu Chengsi even fought for him in the main hall of the Prince of Wei's Mansion.
Even after he became an official, Wu Yizong often taught him how to handle the affairs of a state.
Now that his father suspected his dearest cousin, he wanted to argue a little, but he also knew that Wu Chengsi had been in the officialdom for more than ten years and knew the dangers of the people in the court better than he did.
"Yanhao, don't worry about this matter. I won't allow you to contact Yizong until his suspicion is cleared. You should stay home sick for the next few days and don't attend court."
"At times like this, the most taboo thing is to act impulsively. If you're not careful, you'll be doomed!"
As they were talking, a figure hurried into the main hall.
The person who came was Wu Yanji. He had already called his wife and children, and Wu Yuanhui, who was still asleep, was beside him.
"Father, Mother has packed everything that needs to be packed. We can leave anytime."
"Yes." Wu Chengsi nodded. "Your mother asked why not?"
"Mom said I can't ask, but we will definitely tell others that we are going to Chang'an for a trip for a while." Wu Yanji replied.
"It's getting late, Chengye, you should leave quickly. You have more ways to leave Luoyang than I do, so I won't see you off."
Wu Chengye hummed heavily, turned around and left.
Wu Chengsi and Wu Yanhao accompanied them all the way to the door and watched Wu Yanji, his wife, children and Wu Yuanhui get into the luxurious carriage.
The driver was a bald man with surprising muscle lines.
In the carriage, the little Loli who had been waiting inside was sitting at the very edge, looking harmless.
These are the two guards assigned to the eldest son by King Wu Chengsi of Wei. The bald man practices hard qigong and has extraordinary martial arts skills. The little loli comes from Shu and is good at using poisons and practicing medicine. With the protection of these two people, safety is fully guaranteed.
"Once you arrive in Chang'an, stay safe. Unless you are sure Luoyang is safe, you are not allowed to return under any circumstances."
"I understand, Dad." Wu Yanji rubbed his eyes.
"Yu Xian, you've been married to our family for over ten years. You gave birth to our eldest grandson, and your contribution is invaluable. However, I'm afraid Yanji has been a little bit slow in treating you poorly over the years. Don't mind. Although he has many faults, he is still your husband. If I'm gone in the future, you two must support each other."
Wu Chengsi glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law Yu Xian, who was not even 27 years old, and felt a little sad.
He became a grandfather at the age of 35. At that time, he himself did not realize that his grandson had been born just a few years after he became the King of Wei.
Twelve years passed in a flash. Wu Chengsi looked at his eldest daughter-in-law, with whom he had been living for nearly thirteen years, and sincerely hoped that his son, daughter-in-law and eldest grandson could live to see the new dynasty. By then, even if he died, he would be able to rest in peace.
He reached out again and touched Wu Yuanhui and his eldest grandson Wu Yian.
"Oh, go, go, go, the sooner you leave, the better."
He waved his hand, and Wu Chengye boarded the first carriage and headed towards the west gate of Luoyang City under the protection of the guards.
Wu Chengsi watched the carriage and guards disappear around the corner from afar, and was reluctant to turn back.
It wasn't until Madam Gong Zhao of the King of Wei walked out the door that she asked, "Can you tell me now what happened?"
"As a woman, it's best not to know, but I can promise that I will tell you before the matter is fully concluded."
"What if it can't be resolved satisfactorily?"
"Then I will tell you before I die. By then, I will definitely not let you go in a confused state."
Gong Zhao smiled gently. "I've been with you since childhood, through thick and thin for nearly thirty years. Whether you were poor or rich, I never left your side. So what's wrong with me leaving you in a muddled way?"
"Okay, when the time comes, you and I will go together, and we will fulfill our love as husband and wife in this life." Wu Chengsi stepped forward and held Gong Zhao's hand affectionately.
Wu Yanhao stood aside, not knowing whether to watch or not to watch. He knew he shouldn't disturb his parents, so he could only laugh dryly.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to rest first. Don't call me for court tomorrow. I'm sick and can't go out. I'll just rest more."
After he finished speaking, he fled and found Cui Luo, who was resting and taking care of her pregnancy, in the backyard.
When Cui Luo, who came from the Qinghe Cui family, saw him coming, he hurried forward to greet him.
"Madam, you haven't rested yet?"
"Yeah, I see you haven't come back yet. I want to wait for you to come back before I rest."
"Okay, let's rest now. I haven't been with you until now. Now it's noon and you can take a nap."
"Okay, then I'll help you undress. There's no rush. I'm going to take a shower and change clothes first. I'll be back soon. Please wait for me for a moment."
Cui Luo lowered his head and responded softly, "Okay."
