San Ying Beimang's Rescue (2)
The emperor is not the emperor, the king is not the king, thousands of horses fled to Beimang.
The emperor is also the emperor, the king will be king, thousands of people will protect the dragon!
----Yong Shi: Biography of Taizong Wu Jun
After Wu Jun, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao helped the Young Emperor and Prince Chen Liu, who had been kidnapped to Beimang Mountain by Zhang Rang and Duan Gui, onto their horses, Wu Jun led the way, while Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao guarded the left and right in case of any mishaps, as they headed toward Cui Manor. To be able to receive the escort of Wu Jun and his two brothers, the Young Emperor and Prince Chen Liu could be considered lucky amidst misfortune. Moreover, even if the Western Chu Overlord was reborn, it would be extremely difficult for him to injure the Young Empress and Prince Chen Liu under the protection of the three Wu brothers.
Roughly two hours later, Wu Jun, the Young Emperor, Prince Chen Liu, and the others arrived at the Cui Manor. Just as Wu Jun was about to ask his third brother, Zhang Liao, to knock on the door, the gate of the Cui Manor was opened with a whoosh. There were about a dozen strong servants standing on both sides. A man in his forties walked out of the courtyard in a gray and white coat. As soon as the man stepped out of the courtyard, he immediately saw Wu Jun, the Young Emperor, Prince Chen Liu, and the others. He also saw a handsome man with a dignified appearance protecting two young children in front of him, and two other extremely awe-inspiring youths protecting the three of them. He couldn't help but be extremely surprised.
It turned out that Cui Yi, the head of Cui Village, had just been awakened by a dream: At night, he dreamed that three red suns had set down in front of his manor. So he immediately got up and summoned his servants to investigate. Unexpectedly, this dream was real. Cui Yi walked up and cupped his hands."This old man is Cui Yi, the head of Cui Village. I didn't know that I couldn't welcome an honored guest late at night. I wonder who you are?”
Wu Jun looked at the Young Empress and Prince Chen Liu who were still on horseback, and motioned for them to come forward and answer. But the Young Emperor was still in shock, and Prince Chen Liu also looked at Wu Jun, using his eyes to signal for Wu Jun to help him reply. Wu Jun had no choice but to step forward and point at the Young Empress, Prince Chen Liu, himself, and his two sworn brothers. He said to Cui Yi,"Villa Head Cui, this is the current Emperor and Prince Chen Liu! We are Wu Jun and Wu Xianglong from Lujiang, my second brother Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong from Changshan, and my third brother Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan from Yanmen. Due to the chaos of the Ten Attendants, the Emperor and Prince Chen Liu fled. We are here to protect you at Beimang Mountain.”
Cui Yi was shocked when he heard this. He knelt down again and bowed to Wu Jun, the Young Emperor, and Prince Chen Liu."I am Cui Yi, the younger brother of Situ Cuilie of the previous dynasty. Because he saw the Ten Attendants controlling the government, covering the sky with their hands, selling official positions and titles, he was jealous of talents, so the whole family returned to seclusion here. I didn't know that Your Majesty, Prince Chen Liu, and the three warriors had come here. I hope you can forgive me for my disrespect! Your Majesty, Prince Chen Liu and the three warriors, please follow me into the house.”
"Your Majesty and Prince Chen Liu, please dismount!" Wu Jun motioned for his two sworn brothers to help the Young Emperor and Prince Chen Liu off their horses before following Cui Yi into Cui Village.
Cui Yi and Wu Jun helped the Young Empress and Prince Chen Liu into the house. Cui Yi hurriedly called for the servants to prepare food, while Wu Jun signaled for Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to go out and guard. Without his, the Young Empress, Prince Chen Liu, and Cui Yi's orders, no one was allowed to enter. Violators would be killed without mercy. "Your Majesty, Prince Chen Liu, my two sworn brothers are guarding the gates. We will not be in danger for the time being.”Wu Jun cupped his hands, indicating for the Young Emperor and Prince Chen Liu to relax.
"Thank you for your trouble, Flying Dragon 3 brothers and Cui Qing's family. Brother Wang, we're safe now. There's no need to worry too much!”Prince Chen Liu also realized that he was temporarily in danger and hurriedly consoled his brother.
"Your Majesty, Prince Chen Liu, please enjoy your meal. At present, my house is simple and crude, with only some simple tea and food. I hope you can forgive me for not entertaining you well!”Cui Yi busied himself for a while before finally preparing a table of fine wine and dishes. He then spoke to the Young Empress and Prince Chen Liu. Then, he stood at the side with Wu Jun.
"Flying Dragon and Cui Qing's family can have dinner together! This king has seen that you have been tired for a long time.”Prince Chen Liu and the Young Emperor were probably famished. In the past, they had never suffered such a crime in the Palace. Therefore, the two of them no longer cared about the face of their royal family and nobles. They wolfed down the food in large mouthfuls. When they were eating with relish, they realized that there were two people standing beside them, so they sent out invitations.
"Prince Chen Liu and His Majesty, please enjoy! I'm not hungry! To be able to serve His Majesty and Prince Chen Liu is truly a blessing!”Wu Jun had learned the etiquette of the palace from his father Wu Shuo, father-in-law Cai Yong, and uncle Wang Yun since he was a child. He knew the rules very well, so he would not mess around at this time. Cui Yi was probably the same.
"Flying Dragon and Cui Qing's family have done a great job protecting the emperor today, so there's no need to have too many taboos.”Prince Chen Liu saw that the two of them were too restrained and gave them a forceful order.
"Since His Majesty and Prince Chen Liu have given the order, this subject will follow the king's orders!”Wu Jun and Cui Yi couldn't refuse at this time, so they could only respectfully sit at the dining table and carefully eat and drink together.
Wu Jun, the Young Empress, Prince Chen Liu, and Cui Yi finished their meal and washed up. The sky was already starting to brighten. Just as he was about to rest for a moment, Wu Jun heard the sound of an argument outside the manor with his keen hearing, and the sound was getting louder and louder. Hearing this, the Young Empress and Prince Chen Liu began to feel a little afraid. The Young Empress had already become a frightened bird. Although Prince Chen Liu was afraid, his expression was at least a little calmer as he looked at Wu Jun and Cui Yi.
"Your Majesty and Prince Chen Liu can rest easy. As long as I, Wu Jun, am here, I guarantee that no one will be able to harm Your Majesty and Prince Chen Liu! Villa Head Cui, you will protect His Majesty and Prince Chen Liu here.”After Wu Jun cupped his hands and finished speaking to the Emperor, Prince Chen Liu, and Cui Yi, he picked up his weapon and quickly walked out of the door.
As soon as Wu Jun walked out of the main gate of the Cui Residence, he saw his two sworn brothers and a dozen servants of the Cui Residence clashing with a man dressed like a general. Behind this general were about ten subordinates dressed in infantry.
"Who are you? Why are you barging into a private house in the early morning and quarreling here? Don't you know the laws of the Great Han Dynasty as soldiers?”Wu Jun shouted at the hundreds of soldiers outside the gate. He was naturally extremely dignified. It turned out that Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and the servants of the Cui family had just received Wu Jun's order: Without his, the Young Emperor's, Prince Chen Liu's, or Cui Yi's orders, no one was to enter. Violators would be killed without mercy. This general probably wanted to force his way in, but was stopped by Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and the Cui family servants.
"Could it be that this general is Min Gong, an official of the central Henan region?”When Wu Jun saw the head hanging from the neck of the general, he suddenly thought of something and went forward to ask the general.
"It's me! Fang Zhenggong had led his subordinates to search for the Emperor and Prince Chen Liu. On the way, he met the eunuch thief Duan Gui, who told him that the Emperor and Prince Chen Liu had been lost on the way. The tribute dismissed his subordinates and came here to inquire. This eunuch, Duan Gui, has been killed by Gong. I wonder who the general is? Have you seen His Majesty and Prince Chen Liu?"
When Min Gong saw Wu Jun's dignified appearance and the halberd in his hand, he looked even more awe-inspiring. At the same time, he saw that Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao had no ill intentions and were only trying to stop him. If they were to use violence, he was afraid that his men would not even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. In addition, it was already wrong for him to barge into the house, so he pointed at the head hanging under the horse's neck and asked Wu Jun.
"So it's General Min, I've heard a lot about you! I've heard so much about you! I'm Wu Jun, Wu Xianglong, from Lujiang; my second brother, Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, from Changshan; and my third brother, Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, from Yanmen. Jun Su knew that General Min was loyal to His Majesty and Prince Chen Liu! We three brothers met His Majesty and Prince Chen Liu by chance at Beimang Mountain. Just now, we have already placed His Majesty and Prince Chen Liu in Cui Manor. Please rest assured, General Min! Just now, my second and third brother followed Jun's orders to not let outsiders in. If they offended you, please forgive them! General Min, please follow me to pay respects to His Majesty and Prince Chen Liu!”When Wu Jun heard that he was Min Gong, an official in central Henan, he felt much more at ease. He had thought that there would be a fierce battle. Of course, the three brothers were not afraid of a fierce fight, but these servants of Cui Clan would suffer.
"General Wu, you're welcome! Tribute is also unreasonable, the two generals are also part of their duty. General Wu, please!" After Min Gong handed his weapon to his subordinates, he followed Wu Jun into the house.
Min Gong paid his respects to the Young Emperor and Queen Chen Liu. When the three of them met, they all hugged each other and wept bitterly. After a while, Min Gong said to the Young Empress and Prince Chen Liu,"A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Your Majesty and Prince Chen Liu, please return to the capital to calm the hearts of the people.”The Young Empress and Prince Chen Liu sat on the bed and chatted for a moment before looking at Wu Jun and Cui Yi. The Young Empress finally stood up with Prince Chen Liu's support and said to Wu Jun,""Wu Jun, Wu Xianglong, step forward to receive the title! Wu Jun and others have made great contributions to saving the emperor. I will grant you the title of Wei Wei, in charge of the palace gate guards. Your second brother, Zhao Yun, and third brother, Zhang Liao, will be in charge of the guards outside the palace. Now that we are returning to the capital, are Wei Wei Wu and the guards willing to protect us again?”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Wu Jun and his two sworn brothers are willing to escort the Emperor and Prince Chen Liu back to the capital. However, Jun and his two sworn brothers did not come to protect the Emperor today for high positions and high salaries. I hope that Your Majesty and Prince Chen Liu will retract their orders! If so, Your Majesty and Prince Chen Liu must reward Jun and his two sworn brothers as Wei Wei and Zuo Jinwu. Wu Jun will thank Your Majesty and Prince Chen Liu on behalf of his two sworn brothers. Wu Jun and his two sworn brothers will do their best to protect the capital and protect Your Majesty and Prince Chen Liu. However, if one day, Jun discovers that things cannot be done, I request that Your Majesty and Prince Chen Liu allow Jun and his two sworn brothers to leave. If His Majesty and Prince Chen Liu do not obey, Wu Jun and his two sworn brothers will swear to death that they will not accept the position of Wei Wei and his attendants!”Although Wu Jun knew that since ancient times,'there was no greater merit than saving the Emperor before the battle, and no greater crime than betraying the country', his three brothers had made great contributions to saving the Emperor, and today, they had received a reward from the Emperor and Prince Chen Liu. However, in the future, the situation would be chaotic. He had to leave a way out for himself.
The Young Empress had not expected Wu Jun to have so many theories. When had she ever encountered such trouble when rewarding the various officials? She looked at her younger brother, Prince Chen Liu, at a loss. When Prince Chen Liu heard this, he felt that Wu Jun's words were reasonable, and that he had to first overcome the difficulties before speaking, so he agreed to Wu Jun's request: "This king and brother will follow Wei Wei Wu's words. Please also ask Wei Wei Wu and the left and right guards to escort Your Majesty and this king back to the capital. After returning to the capital, this king and my brother will reward all the meritorious officials, including Wu Wei, the left and right Zhijinwu, Min Gong, and Cui Zhuang Zhuang.”
"Many thanks to Prince Chen Liu and His Majesty! This subject, along with my two sworn brothers, General Min, and Villa Head Cui, will arrange for the Emperor and Prince Chen Liu to return to the capital.”After Wu Jun finished speaking, he walked out with Min Gong and Villa Head Cui to make arrangements for returning to the capital.
Wu Jun saw that there was only one thin horse in the Cui Village, so he gave up the two horses that he and his second brother, Zhao Yun, originally had, for the Young Empress and Prince Chen Liu to ride. He rode on the strong horse that his third brother, Zhang Liao, had given up. His second brother, Zhao Yun, and third brother, Zhang Liao, were now the guards of honor. They also rode on the relatively strong horse that Min Gong had voluntarily given up. Min Gong could only ride on the thin horse from Cui Village.
Wu Jun led his second and third brothers, Min Gong, and ten-some of his subordinates, protecting the Young Empress and Prince Chen Liu from the left and right as they left the Cui Manor and headed south, heading straight for Luoyang. After about two hours, they were already more than three miles away from Cui Village. From afar, Wu Jun could see six generals leading hundreds of people towards him. Wu Jun waved his hand to signal for everyone to stop, signaling for his two sworn brothers and Min Gong to protect the Young Empress and Prince Chen Liu. The six generals rode their horses closer and closer to Wu Jun's group. Wu Jun saw his uncle Situ Wangyun among them. He did not recognize the other five. Wu Jun turned his head and asked Min Gong, an official in the central Henan region. Min Gong pointed to the five people in front of him and pointed them out to Wu Jun."Lord Wei Wei, the six lords who have come from left to right are Left Army Lieutenant Chunyu Qiong, Right Army Lieutenant Zhao Meng, Situ Wang Yun, Grand Marshal Yang Biao, Back Army Lieutenant Bao Xin, and Central Army Lieutenant Yuan Shao. The six of them had also come out to look for the Emperor and Prince Chen Liu, so they shouldn't have any ill intentions.”
"Uncle Wang, lords, are you here to find His Majesty and Prince Chen Liu? They are right behind me. Don't startle the emperor.”Wu Jun urged his horse forward and said to Wang Yun and the other lords.
"Who are you? Why was he with His Majesty and Prince Chen Liu?”Situ Wangyun looked at the handsome young man who called him uncle and asked in confusion.
"Uncle Wang, I'm Wu Jun and Wu Xianglong from Lujiang. I'm Jun 'er! They hadn't met for more than ten years, and Uncle Wang didn't recognize Jun 'er? As for why Jun 'er was with the Emperor and Prince Chen Liu, this matter was a long story. Rong Jun' er would tell Uncle Wang in detail in the future. Right now, we must first escort His Majesty and Prince Chen Liu back to the capital.”Wu Jun did not have much time to explain what was happening. The most important thing was to escort the Young Emperor and Prince Chen Liu back to Luoyang.
Situ Wang Yun, Marshal Yang Biao, Left Army Lieutenant Chunyu Qiong, Right Army Lieutenant Zhao Meng, Back Army Lieutenant Bao Xin, Central Army Lieutenant Yuan Shao, and hundreds of subordinates dismounted to pay their respects to the Young Emperor and Prince Chen Liu. The ministers and ministers held their heads and wept, making Wu Jun's heart ache.
Situ Wang Yun and Marshal Yang Biao suggested sending Duan Gui's head to the capital to give orders, and the Young Emperor and King Chen Liu agreed. Thus, the three Wu brothers followed Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Chunyu Qiong, Zhao Meng, Bao Xin, Yuan Shao, and hundreds of soldiers to escort the Young Emperor and Prince Chen Liu back to Luoyang. This really fulfilled the nursery rhyme of the children in Luoyang: "The emperor is not the emperor, the king is not the king. The emperor is also the emperor, the king will be king, there are thousands of people to protect the dragon Lang.”So far it really fulfilled his prophecy.
