Chapter 332: Repentance
Yu Mian was very haggard during this time, but the reason for being haggard was no longer purely for Su Mo.
The previous chaos in the northwest has not only not weakened today, but has become more and more strange. After digging out the several forces that I had learned about before, there have recently been several bandits who have taken advantage of the fire to rob, taking advantage of the gap in the mobilization of the army at the border pass, to stir up trouble in all directions, causing monstrous resentment among the people.
Even in the border army, all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, so that the morale of the army is shaken. Several generals in the department had come to him to express their dissatisfaction in a vague manner.
Originally, this was just an inconspicuous matter, and the dumping in officialdom was too common.
But Yu Mian shouldn't have made the stupid move of mobilizing the border army. Mobilizing the army is not a trick, and there are too many things involved in the movement of the army. The collection of all kinds of grain and forage, the transportation and reserve of heavy materials, and the collection and transfer of servants, mules and horses involve many interests in all aspects.
Otherwise, if you say that a literati is a literati, what you are best at is really just talking on paper. Yu Mian originally thought very simply, just to order the armies to strengthen the garrison of each border. Strictly speaking, this is not a real military move. On the whole, it does belong to the authority of his minister, and it does not exceed the distance.
It's a pity that he forgot that the human heart is the most ungraspable. Especially at the moment of interest, which one of them is willing to be honest?
He only gave an order to strengthen his defense, and the following links dared to use chicken feathers as arrows, obviously only a hundred people could be transferred, but when it came to departure, it could become the opening of an army.
Of course, this army has a lot of water. It is not really possible to count the number of people, but only in terms of the allocation of materials and baggage, it is absolutely 100% in accordance with the number of people in an army.
Under this single order, it was the soldiers who were tired of trekking, and the people of the counties, villages and towns in the entire Datong were suffering. The only ones who rejoice are those countless profiteers and people of the world, so how can it be called a germination.
Under such chaos, how can we avoid causing trouble? This is one of them.
And the sudden return of Jiang Bin and others really made this fire even more vigorous, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a blazing fire cooking oil.
Because of their tandem and lobbying everywhere, Yu Mian's thoughts and small actions in the whole incident were almost completely illuminated in front of the eyes of the world. Just for their own selfish thoughts, they made such a big move, and how many countries were wasted, maybe the soldiers didn't care, but it was they who made them suffer and suffered.
Not to mention, what kind of message will the border army send to Meng Yuan if it moves so suddenly? People will not interpret these actions according to your Yu Mian's thoughts. If you misunderstand that the Ming Dynasty wants to launch a military operation, not to mention the victory or defeat, it is not these border soldiers who are unlucky?
And if there is any mistake in any place, the first person to be punished by the court is definitely these people.
As a result, the army was in an uproar. There have been many people who have secretly passed the news to the Ministry of War and the Cabinet, and it is conceivable that once it finally breaks out, what will happen to him in the crown of Lord Yu.
Therefore, Lord Yu didn't dare to stay still anymore. After all, no matter what the excuse, his mission was to envoy to the royal court. But now that he doesn't fulfill his own duties, but is stationed outside to make trouble, and he is still making trouble, isn't that waiting to give someone a handle? Turning back to be accused of ill-intentioned and ill-intentioned by Yu Shishen, the Yu family is full of people of all ages and is about to go to the noon gate to get together.
So Master Yu finally started to set off again, but the speed was like a turtle. Every day, they camped for only twenty or thirty miles, and if they followed this way, they were afraid that they would not be able to reach the royal court until they had entered the winter.
But Lord Yu can't help it, it's not that he doesn't want to complete the mission quickly. In fact, in this situation, the deputy envoy disappeared completely, and he had to explain to the court and the Son of Heaven that he had fiddled with many hands and tails before.
Now that I am pressing the speed so much, I just want to wait for the reply of the imperial court to see. Perhaps in this current situation, the focus is no longer to send an envoy to Meng Yuan to mediate the dispute between Dayan and Yibu. It should be more necessary to return on the spot, and be stationed in the border town to take precautions;
And in addition, it is hoping that a miracle will appear, and the deputy envoy who played the missing will take the initiative to come to the meeting. In that case, all rumors will be self-defeating. Rumors will no longer become rumors, and the morale of the army will naturally settle down. Then there will be no problem in continuing the mission.
Every time Lord Yu thought that after a long time, he still had to cooperate with that Su Mo, and even took the initiative to ask to cooperate, just like eating a dead fly. This heart is disgusting and regretful, I knew that I was like this today, why did I have to do so many things?
If he hadn't thought so much about that day and acted honestly according to the will of the Son of Heaven, the Battle of Xingxian would not have happened. Without the battle of Xingxian, there would naturally be no chaos behind. And without the chaos, where would the current chaos come from? Not to mention all kinds of passive criticisms of oneself. Maybe the errand will be done by now.
If this errand ends perfectly, will he go further? The previous Ying Tianfu Yin seat will definitely not be able to run away, not to mention, it is impossible to say that it will go further, and the chief officer of the sixth department or the head of the sixth section in Nanjing is not impossible to look forward to.
Regret! Yu Mian thought of this, and he almost regretted it. In this way, these thousands of thoughts, coupled with the trek all the way, how can he not be haggard at his age? Even to say that he can still hold on and not fall, it is already considered to be an invitation to heaven.
"Is there any news?" he asked, rubbing his somewhat messy bun and turning his head.
Gu Heng glanced at him secretly and shook his head slightly. In Gu Heng's eyes, how could Yu Mian be haggard at this moment? His face was pale and yellow, his old eyes were swollen, and the two bosses' eye bubbles were bulging.
Under the cloudy gaze, the corners of the two eyes seemed to secrete some sticky substances all the time, and the whites of the eyes were covered with red bloodshots. The hair bun is messy, the complexion is dry, and the nails that are always neatly trimmed on weekdays are no longer half clean, showing black dirt...
Alas, if you knew today, why bother in the first place? Gu Heng sighed secretly, and couldn't help but have a few different thoughts in his heart.
"How could it be? Why not? Why not? Didn't the three pavilion elders have anything to say there? What about Scholar Li? No, go, go and investigate! Continue to investigate!" Seeing Gu Heng shaking his head and saying nothing, Yu Mian was a little anxious, and stood up suddenly, staring at him with two red eyes, and a series of shouts came out of his mouth.
Gu Heng got up, gave a silent salute, and then turned around and went out.
Yu Mian shook his body, and then sat down in the chair again, his expression changing uncertainly. He was in a hurry. With such a big movement, it is reasonable for the Son of Heaven to send a clear decree to reprimand, not to mention those imperial historians who usually jump up and down when they have nothing to do.
But now, the entire court is silent, and there is not even a word, which is really weird and completely unreasonable.
Yu Mian actually hopes to see the reprimand sent by the Son of Heaven now, because in that case, he can not only know the attitude of the Son of Heaven, but also block the attacks of some enemies.
Yu Mian, who has been in the officialdom all his life, has a deep understanding of these four words. Even as the leader of the clear stream, he is also covered by his father's shadow on his head, and he also has countless political enemies.
These people will no longer stare at him all the time, waiting for him to show his flaws, waiting for him to make mistakes, and then they will rush up and tear him apart completely, and drive him into the bottomless abyss.
Because compared to others, if he, the son of Yu Shaobao, who is famous all over the world, can be stepped on, the benefits he will reap will be incomparable.
The so-called success is also Xiao He defeat Xiao He, his identity not only gives him powerful help, but also gives others greater temptation.
But now, after obviously having the opportunity, no one jumped out, could it be that they really changed their sex? Yu Mian believes that dogs have changed their sex of eating, and they will never believe that those wolves can change their way of not eating meat.
Not to mention, what made him even more faintly panicked in his heart was, why didn't the Son of Heaven have any attitude? Does that mean that the absence of an attitude is itself an attitude? The Son of Heaven didn't even bother to reprimand, so ......
Yu Mian Lingling shuddered, and subconsciously tightened the robe on his body. I don't know if it's the season, or if the climate outside the Central Plains is even worse than in the Central Plains. At this moment, he only felt a cold breath coming out of the depths of his soul, making him feel as if his blood was about to freeze.
"Why is this so, why is it ......?" he sat there alone, muttering over and over again.
At this time, he no longer has the lonely pride of the past, and he no longer has the kind of lofty and lofty above, and all that is revealed from his body is a deep loneliness and death. It is only at this moment that he really looks like an old man in his prime.
Su Mo...... Yes, as long as Sumo can come!" he muttered, as if nervous. At a certain moment, he suddenly thought of something, and a light suddenly appeared in his eyes, Huo raised his head, two blush appeared on his face, and he screamed excitedly.
Yes, the current dilemma seems insoluble, but as long as Su Mo can do it now, it will be that everything will return to the beginning. At that time, even if the emperor is unhappy, the most he can do is reprimand, and he will not be punished for any more crimes.
And those ghosts, no matter how unwilling, could only clamp their tails again and close their mouths.
At that time, he will still be the son of the proud Shaobao, a celebrity in the world, and he will still be the leader of Qingliu and a model for all literati to worship.
Su Mo! It is Su Mo! Only he is the node where all this is solved. Find him!
Yu Mian clenched his fists vigorously, and the flush on his face became thicker and thicker. Breathing rapidly, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Only a moment later, the light suddenly suffocated, and all the excitement quickly dissipated, and his face turned gray again.
"Sumer, he...... Where the hell is it......"
