The army returned victoriously, and the famous generals were like, Li Zhi was happy, and when everyone entered the palace, he and Wu Meiniang personally waited for them in the Taiji Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"See Your Majesty, Queen of Heaven!" the ceremony must not be abolished, especially the Fan Hong family, and Xue Dingshan knelt down respectfully and bowed down to be a minister.
"General Fan, Mrs. Fan, please get up, hurry up!" Li Zhi personally helped Ran Hong up, and Yu Jiao even looked at Yan Yuan, who had seen him in the corner of the station for a few years, Li Zhi really pulled this kid over and beat him! When he came back, he didn't know how to take a closer look at his father?
Yan Yuan, who was complained by Li Zhi in his heart, was talking to Li Hong at this time. After five years, Li Hong has grown into a man who stands up to the sky, "You are so bold that you dare to go to the Turks with five hundred men and horses." Aren't you afraid that if someone finds out, what should you do? Your father and mother are worried about you, but you are good, and you have no rules to do things. ”
As soon as they met, they were talked about, and it can be seen that she led her troops to the Turks, which really scared them. "Brother Hong, I just came back!"
Yan Yuan reminded Li Hong that she had been going for several years, and she had just come back and was reprimanded, would it scare her? Li Hong looked at it, too, that full of words, don't say it at this time.
"After meeting my father and mother for a while, I have to talk softly. Li Hong admonished again, and Yan Yuan responded. Li Xian on the side said: "Yuan'er has been away from Beijing for many years, and has made a lot of contributions, and it is too late for the father and queen mother to praise it, how can it be like the prince chattered as soon as they met." ”
When Yan Yuan left Beijing, Li Xian looked like everyone in the world was sorry for him, because they were less than a year apart, and he never called Sister Yan Yuan when he beat little Li Xian. In the past few years, this feeling has become even worse, so that my face is a little more bitter and mean.
Yan Yuan frowned, but Li Hong pursed his lips to look at Li Xian, and did not answer, only told Yan Yuan, "When you go back to Beijing this time, just stay tuned, now that the Turkic war is decided, you are not young, and you should choose a good horse." ”
"Brother, brother, I just came back, don't worry, don't worry!" Yan Yuan almost raised his hands in surrender. She has a good relationship with Li Hong, Li Hong has a generous personality and takes good care of her younger siblings. When she was young, Yan Yuangang went to study with them, and Li Hong got up early and took her with her every day.
At the beginning, Yan Yuan was very awkward to call this little boy brother, but he got used to it, and Li Hong was indeed the brother of this body, she became Li Yanyuan, and she had to accept everything from her.
Li Hongbei was about to speak, but the grandmother beside Wu Meiniang came over, "Prince, prince, princess, Your Majesty and Niangniang let the three highnesses go over." ”
It turned out that their brother and sister were talking like this, but they didn't realize that everyone had already entered the palace, which didn't allow Li Zhi to call someone to invite. Li Hong was shocked and hurriedly said, "Let's go into the palace quickly." ”
A banquet had already been set up in the hall, and the three of them stepped in together, and Li Zhi actually said, "Yuan'er and the prince are sitting by my side!"
According to the rules, Yan Yuan is a military general who has returned to victory, and she should sit with Xue Dingshan and them, but she is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and she should be on the side of the Queen of Heaven Wu, but when Li Zhi opened his mouth, someone immediately placed an extra table under Li Zhi, which was originally the seat of the crown prince Li Hong.
"Yes!" and Li Hongqi agreed, Yan Yuan followed behind Li Hong, waiting for Li Hong to sit down, and she sat down under Li Hong, but they didn't move yet, Li Zhi said again: "Yuan'er sits here, and the prince sits down." ”
Li Hong smiled and agreed, and sat on the second chair first, Yan Yuan felt a headache, fortunately, it was not after Wu Meiniang ascended the throne, otherwise, hehe, this minister of the Manchu Dynasty could spray her to death.
But she should always prepare for the future. Yan Yuan walked directly to Wu Meiniang's side, "The child sits with his mother! The prince's seat should be the prince's!"
Many years later, when Wu Meiniang established the Great Zhou, she also called Yan Yuan to sit beside her, and Yan Yuan still used today's words to ask Li Xian, the crown prince of the Manchu Dynasty who knew that the emperor did not like it, to sit firmly on his crown prince.
Li Zhi glanced at Yan Yuan, Yan Yuan's expression was very serious, Wu Meiniang said: "Yuan'er just came back, Your Majesty will follow her." ”
The daughter can get closer to herself, Wu Meiniang holds Yan Yuan's hand, and she can feel the layers of thick calluses on Yan Yuan's hand even more!
"When I was younger, I was closer to me, and when I grew up, I was still close to the queen!" Li Zhi said with a smile, how did this tone sound like a resentful taste. Yan Yuan shook his head and thought that he was a messenger.
Li Zhi spoke, and the waiter immediately moved the table and put it under Wu Meiniang, and Yan Yuan sat down next to Wu Meiniang.
"After five years of leaving, you didn't even think about coming back. Li Zhi thanked the heroes at the banquet, the two mothers and daughters sat close, and Wu Meiniang and Yan Yuan spoke quietly. Yan Yuan said confidently: "Didn't the child tell his mother? The war is busy, and the child just wants to go back, but he can't go back! You see that this Turkic war is certain, and the child will rush back immediately." ”
Wu Meiniang snorted coldly, "Is that so?"
Yan Yuan nodded affirmatively and sincerely, it has to be! Wu Meiniang actually smiled, "Since you are back, you are not in a hurry!"
A sentence called Yan Yuanhan's hair shrugged, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, that is the meaning of settling accounts......
Wu Meiniang dropped this sentence, and then toasted with Li Zhi and the ministers, the people in the first hall were talking lively, and somehow someone said: "General Fan is really powerful, Marshal Xue led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to defeat the hands of the general, the general is brave, I will wait for the general to have a cup, and I also like the general to join the Tang Dynasty." ”
"It's just a fluke to borrow the topography of Hanjiang Pass, Marshal Xue has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and I am older than Marshal Xue in one round, but I have the advantage of the elderly, so I won a few games against Marshal Xue, and I don't deserve the praise of this adult. Fan Hong's words were very artistic, not only helping Xue Rengui say good things, but also saying that he was not a person without ability.
Among the generals, there are very few who can have such keen insight and be able to speak!
"So it is, so it is. It was very strange for us to hear that Marshal Xue had been repeatedly defeated by General Fan in the court, but now that I heard what General Fan said, I understand, understand. The man continued to speak, but the rest of the words were very uncomfortable to hear.
"Since you understand, then you can tell me, what do you understand?" Fan Hong is a general who has just descended to the Tang Dynasty, even if he thinks that the person's words are inappropriate, but it is not easy to speak at this time, but Yan Yuan asked.
The man was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Yan Yuan to ask, and then replied: "Back to the princess, the minister would like to think that Marshal Xue had the idea to call General Xue Dingshan Xue to take over, so he was defeated again and again, and then asked General Xue to take Hanjiang Pass." ”
No matter how stupid Xue Dingshan was, he could hear the malice towards Xue Rengui in these words, and when he was about to speak, Fan Lihua next to him hurriedly stopped him and reminded in a low voice: "Since Princess Changqing has opened her mouth, she will definitely wash away her grievances for Marshal Xue." ”
But he asked Xue Dingshan not to interject. Xue Dingshan's eyes looked at Yan Yuan, and he saw that Yan Yuan sneered, "I heard in the army that there were many rumors in the court because Marshal Xue repeatedly failed to capture Hanjiang Pass, and now I have heard the words of this adult, and it turns out that it is not a rumor." ”
Yan Yuan stood up after speaking, "Victory or defeat is a common thing in Bingshan, I want to ask you, who here dares to say that he has never done anything wrong in his life and has succeeded in his life?"
"And the two armies are facing each other, and the battlefield is changing rapidly, which one dares to say that he can be sure every step of the way and win undefeated?" Yan Yuan asked again.
"What the princess said is not right, Marshal Xue has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, brave and good at fighting, and has never been defeated, why is it that the small Hanjiang Pass has not been lost for a long time, and even lost its elite soldiers?"
"Ha, I listen to the meaning of your words, as a general, you don't always win battles, you have to lose a few more battles, otherwise if you win battles all the time, and suddenly if you lose a few battles, it will be ill-intentioned?" Yan Yuan said very unceremoniously, and then his eyes fell on them, "If you say this, if you are cold to garrison the border pass, you will die on the battlefield and the hearts of many old ministers." ”
"You have never been in a war, let alone on the battlefield, and you only read a few broken books, and you think you know astronomy, geography, and the art of war. Do you know where the Hanjiang Pass is located? What are the natural dangers? How high is the city? How thick is the city? How many soldiers and horses are guarding the pass? Who guards the pass? What method is it good at?" Yan Yuan threw out one question after another, and the two of them were speechless.
"Half a year ago, I led 500 elite soldiers to infiltrate the Turks and killed 20,000 elite Turkic soldiers, but you are very proud to hear it?" Yan Yuan turned to himself after being aggressive.
"The princess led 500 elite soldiers to annihilate 20,000 elite Turkic soldiers in the Turkic territory, and the Tang Dynasty was proud of the princess's good fighting from top to bottom. "Someone is rushing to pat yourself on the back.
"I'm afraid you don't know, before I led these 500 elite soldiers to infiltrate the Turks, I prepared three months in advance, first asked people to map the terrain of the Turks, and then explored the whereabouts of the 20,000 soldiers and horses, and then formulated the relevant infiltration routes, how to infiltrate the Turks, and how to set up an ambush on the way to the 20,000 elite soldiers, and in just two hours, completely annihilate them. The methods and routes of infiltration, I have discussed dozens of methods with the military and political authorities of Nayouzhou, as well as corresponding contingency methods. It was only because a small Turkic soldier rode through and arrived at our ambush that we were about to move the mechanism we had set up earlier, but at that time someone immediately shot the man and the horse, and quickly hid his corpse, so that our plan was completed. On the battlefield, once there is a mistake, you will die, and you, even if you lose, can you still think of a way to remedy it, and if you die, can you still save it?" Yan Yuan said this, his tone became more and more severe.
"This palace knows that you, the civil ministers, have never looked down on the generals, but the literature can stabilize the country, and the military can determine the country. Do you think that the generals are vulgar, but they are standing in the most dangerous place, and now you are enjoying peace and tranquility, without them fighting bloody battles in front, do you have such a good life?
"Princess, princess, minister, etc., have no such intention, no such intention. ”
Those who opened their mouths were buttoned up by Yan Yuan at this time, and knelt down again and again to plead guilty.
"Anyone can say something nice. It doesn't matter what you say, it's what you do that makes people see it best. As soon as Yan Yuan said this, those few were already trembling with fright.
"Now that I've said that, I've also heard that when I was in charge of Youzhou, I spent a lot of money on ginseng. Just let the Manchu Dynasty civil and military witness, although I am the princess of the Tang Dynasty, the Son of Heaven broke the law, and the common people are guilty of the same crime, the father and the queen mother will be depressed, but in the child can see, the child has a clear conscience, and is not afraid of checking. Yan Yuan made such a request, and the whole house was shocked!
"Please also ask the father and the queen mother to be fulfilled!" Yan Yuan and Li Zhiwu Meiniang asked again. Li Zhi looked at Wu Meiniang, and Wu Meiniang said, "How do I want to check?"
"Please summon the father and queen mother to summon the two scholars, squires, and directors of the household and military departments, and order them to bring all the accounts of the child since he took over the soldiers and horses in Youzhou, and check them in the court. Yan Yuan proposed a method of inspection. Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang glanced at each other, "Accurate, pass!"
Soon the relevant personnel who were summoned by Yan Yuan's request, as well as the account book, arrived at the Taiji Palace.
"When this official took over Youcheng, he and Youzhou Thorn History, the former Youzhou Thorn History, as well as the household squire Yan Hengzhi, and the military squire Luo Yi, counted the number of soldiers and horses, weapons, and granaries of each other's Youzhou, and there were signatures of our words on it, in five copies of each other, there was a copy in the hands of the palace, a copy of the Youzhou Thorn History, a copy of the former Youzhou Thorn History, and the household department, the military department, each with a copy of the bottom line. Yan Yuan was sitting and spoke, and the two attendants of the household department and the military department quickly rummaged through the booklet of the day, "The bottom is here." ”
These two things quickly reached the hands of Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang, and the two of them saw it, and asked the prime ministers to look at it.
"Since the palace took over Youzhou, the increase or decrease in the number of Youzhou troops have been registered, this year, the DPRK sent a total of 700,000 quintals of grain to Youzhou, and Youzhou's soldiers have a total of 30,000, Youzhou has nearly 300,000 quintals of grain harvest this year, a total of 1 million quintals of grain, so far, the palace has never asked the court for grain. According to the number of Youzhou soldiers, the basic food required by each person per day and each meal is counted as eight taels per person. Two meals a day!"
"Princess, if you count it according to this number, there is no food enough. "I have already calculated that I am good at arithmetic, and I spoke weakly.
"The food pulled out by the imperial court is not enough according to the normal supply, and the soldiers in Youzhou are not asked for food in this palace, and there are even ginseng in this palace to waste food. Yan Yuan said this very gently, but it made people feel the anger in her heart.
"How did the princess raise the 30,000 soldiers in Youzhou?" At this moment, someone actually asked Yan Yuan such a question.
