Chapter 34: Loyal Bones Buried Everywhere in Castle Peak
Yilizabeth said softly, saying, "This is his own blessing and life are weak. How can the Grand Sima blame his husband?"
Dongye recalled for a moment for the people and said, "In that battle, ordinary people always said that I suddenly encountered an ambush of demon clans, and more than half of the guards were injured and killed. In times of crisis, I killed several in and out of tens of thousands of demon clan elite soldiers, gathered the besieged guards and soldiers, and then killed them from the numerous encirclements. In this battle, I killed countless elite generals of the demon clan, and since then, I was the most brave and brave. In fact, what cannot be said by outsiders is that I entered and out of the elite soldiers of the demon clan, just to find Nalan Tianzhu. One is to make the trust of the great Sima, and the other is that I have a good relationship with Nalan Tianzhu and brotherly friendship. Who would have expected that human power will not defeat the heavens in the end." After saying that, he sighed.
Yilizabeth continued: "What my husband said was a rift with the Grand Sima, because he was worried that Grand Sima would blame his husband for his eldest son's death?"
Higashino smiled bitterly for the people and said, "After Nalan Tianzhu was killed, I sent a message to ask Grand Sima how to deal with his body? Should it be transported back to Kyoto or what? Guess how Grand Sima responded?"
Elizabeth followed closely: "How to reply?"
Dongye shook his head for the people and said, "The Grand Sima replied that loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green mountains, why do you need to wear a horse and a corpse? I asked me to bury his eldest son's body and other soldiers who died in this battle on the ground of Changbai Mountain and on the banks of the Wulong River."
Yi Lizabeth showed joy and said, "Doesn't this just mean that Grand Sima has no intention of caring about you?"
Dongye Weimin smiled bitterly again and said, "Yes, in the battle between humans and demons, countless people died in battle. Whether it is the children of the gentry or ordinary people, males died in battle. Once this reply was known to the world, they all said that the Grand Sima was a loyal and wise man, and his eldest son was killed in battle. He was buried on the spot like an ordinary soldier, without any special treatment. Later, Grand Sima never had any resentment towards me, but I was just very scared!"
Yilishabeth said, "Husband is brave and famous all over the world! What can make your husband afraid?"
Dongye smiled bitterly for the people: "It is a tragic thing in the world that lost his son in middle age. The more he acted as if nothing happened, I became more and more afraid. I was afraid that one day it would break out and the situation would be too severe. After all, it was my eldest son who did not protect him. Instead, I hope that the Grand Sima could scold me or even whip me. This means that the Grand Sima might have exposed this matter in his heart."
.
Yilishabeth said again: "I have heard people say that my husband is 'respectful to my teacher' to treat the Grand Sima, and the Grand Sima also regards his husband as a student and nephew. I believe that the Grand Sima has already let go of his heart, so he should not be bothered."
Dongye shook his head for the people and said, "I am younger than the Grand Sima. I am a little older than Nalan Tianzhu. I am only a few years older than that. I am the son and nephew of Grand Sima. Besides, Grand Sima Wentao is familiar with his martial arts and is well-planned and determined to win thousands of miles away. He also supports me. I do think of him as half a teacher and half an elder. Therefore, it is true that people in the world say that I am "respectful to Master" to treat Grand Sima, but no one knows how trembling I am behind the "respectful to Master".
My guess is that the Grand Sima originally intended to regard Nalan Tianzhu as his reserve successor, and in the future, he would be the Grand Sima of a country. As his eldest son's good brother and half of his student, I am the most suitable candidate for assistance. Who would have expected that the man's calculation is not as good as the Tianzhu? Nalan Tianzhu has little fortune and has little life. Our military power is too heavy, and he has made mistakes in not being able to protect him, so he was scared. Therefore, after the war, I handed over military power on the grounds of recuperation, and only had a false reputation, lived in seclusion in the court and the country, and defeated his master and respected the Grand Sima."
Yilishabeth said, "Now that my husband has resigned from his official position with his seal, why does the Grand Sima still send people from the Inner Guard Palace to force me to the death, and even take my life?"
Dongye smiled bitterly for the people and said, "Although there is a rift now, I think the Grand Sima has no intention of taking my life. It's just that I resigned and stayed away from his sight, which made him feel unhappy! The person who instructed the Centurion of the Inner Guard Office to lead the team to commit the assault on you should have someone else!"
Elizabeth asked, "Who is that? What kind of resentment is there with you and me? Do you want to take this ruthless move?"
Dongye sneered and said, "What are the resentment and hatred in the battle between the temple? It's just a struggle for power and profit! In order to attack political enemies, the Grand Sima pushed me out. Everyone knows that I am the next successor in the heart of Grand Sima. Who knows how uneasy I feel? Who knows how those who think about this position in their hearts hate me? In fact, I am just a living target for Grand Sima to be beaten! Grand Sima values power very much. As long as I live for one day of my life, how can I have the opportunity to take office and become Grand Sima? Although I have decided to stay away from this place of failure, there are always people who think that if I live for one day of my life, I will pose a threat to him as Grand Sima. Therefore, even though I leave, I will not give up!"
Yilizabeth said angrily: "Who instructed the soldiers of the Neiwei Mansion to hurt me and the child?"
Dongye snorted lightly for the people and said, "I guess, it is probably the Grand Sikong Dugu Ruyue, who is the most likely! This person is greedy for authority and fame and fortune. Moreover, the Sikong Mansion is in charge of the judicial justice of the criminal prison and directly manages the Neiwei Mansion. If he nodded his permission, the Neiwei Mansion would be arrogant and domineering, who would dare to hurt the wife of a general in a country?"
Yilizabeth added: "It would be fine if it was not the Grand Sima!"
Dongye pondered for the people and said, "If the Neiwei Mansion sends a hundred soldiers to chase the general of a country, he will definitely ask the Grand Sima! Therefore, the Grand Sima should know that the Neiwei Mansion sent people to come. But he has no intention of taking your life. I guess someone must have used the tiger skin to pull the banner and make a fuss about it, forcing me to kill people, and finally I will be punished, so that I will never succeed the Grand Sima again. With the wisdom of the Grand Sima, I can definitely see the meaning of this. This Grand Sikong is a villain, but he does not know that the Grand Sima has never been passed on to me. I have really made a big target and took a big blame, and helped the Grand Sima take such a big attack." After saying that, he smiled bitterly.
Yilishabeth said: "Just just heard from my husband that Grand Sima only lost his eldest son, and there are other sons? Can't it be cultivated? As the successor to Grand Sima? Why would you stand up as a target?"
Dongye sighed for the people, but said, "My wife doesn't know anything! Grand Sima has two sons, and the eldest son Nalan Tianzhu died in the Northern Expedition. The second son Nalan Tiangang rode a horse when he was a teenager and fell off his horse. He fell to his forehead. He was hysterical and weak and sickly, sometimes awake and sometimes confused. How could he go into politics?"
