67. Military Writ
Jin Mu's words, every sentence for the country and the people, the emperor can't say that such a decision is to let Yu Junqian die, so he can only suffer a dumb loss, squint his eyes slightly and think for a moment, and said: "What General Jin said is very true, since King Youwang is not qualified to be the commander, I will let his brother take command for him, King You'an is the wolf general of the first emperor's imperial seal, I think it will not be defeated by those barbarians in Xiwa and let me down, as for King You~~ Let him go with the army, even if it is a long experience, After all, the lack of experience in marching and fighting is not a reason. ”
Jin Mu said: "King You'an once led his troops to the expedition and made great achievements, and the minister thought that he was the most suitable commander. ”
The emperor raised the corners of his mouth without smiling: "King You'an is really amazing, the first emperor often praised him when he was there, I didn't expect that General Jin, who has always been strict and civilized, also valued him so much, it seems that this time against the Xiwa barbarians is determined to win." ”
Jin Mu felt bad when he heard the emperor's tone, and was about to speak, when he heard the emperor say: "Okay! Since General Jin recommended it, I made the king of You'an County as the commander, and led the ironclad army to rush to Shaliucheng immediately to fight against the Xiwa army, and they will definitely be defeated and flee in the wilderness. ”
"This ......" Jin Mu didn't expect the emperor to give Yu Junyan a military order, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Xiwa army is brave and good at fighting, and our army can only try its best to compete with it......"
The emperor sneered and interrupted Jin Mu's words: "What does General Jin mean by this? What does it mean to try your best to fight it? Could it be that you mean that the King of Yous is not good at leading troops to fight, and his younger brother only ensures his safety when he goes, and may not be able to defeat the enemy? Jin Mu, are you kidding me?! ”
Seeing this, Jin Mu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Don't dare!" ”
"Don't dare to be the best!" The emperor said sharply, "Spread my will, and order the king of You'an County, Yu Junyan, to swear to defend Shaliu City with King You, and if it is lost, it will be dealt with by military law!" ”
After the court, the emperor returned to the palace angrily, because he walked too fast, almost collided with a palace maid, watching the palace maid kneel down in panic and beg for mercy, the emperor's already gloomy face became more and more violent, without saying a word, ordered someone to pull the palace maid down and die.
The emperor drank a cup of tea, and then slowly calmed down, and muttered with a sneer: "Yu Junyan, do you think that the first emperor values you, and Jin Mu can do whatever he wants if he appreciates you!" Don't forget, this world is my world, and if I want your life, you will never live! Chen Shan. ”
Chen Shan hurriedly responded: "The old slave is here." ”
"Pass the order to Chen Yong, this time against Xiwa, we are determined to win, let him be sure to pick good soldiers and generals."
Chen Shan's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood the meaning of the emperor's words, and replied, "Yes, the old slave understands." ”
Yu Junyan was anxiously waiting for the news from the palace in the palace, and when he heard that the emperor had set up a military order for him, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a cold but disdainful smile: "Military order? Okay, then the king will return triumphantly and show him! ”
"It's not as simple as it seems." Su Yuheng frowned and reminded, "Since the emperor has given you a military order, he is expected that you will not win this battle, and I am afraid that he will do something in terms of troops." ”
Yu Junyan said indifferently: "It's certain that I will do things in terms of troops, I didn't expect that the waste of the ironclad army could resist the Xiwa army, but the heroic soldiers are also trained from the strength of the chicken, and in my hands, even if it is a waste, I will turn him into a good general!" ”
"Freezing three feet is not a day's cold." Su Yuheng said worriedly, "Do you think you can train those people into good generals in such a short period of time?" ”
Yu Junyan replied lightly: "There are only two paths in front of them, either to undergo the harshest training, or to die, guess what choice will they make?" ”
"There are not enough people, if we have to attack our own people......"
"Don't worry, I've already figured out the way back for manpower."
"Oh? What is it? ”
Yu Junyan picked up an account book from the table and handed it to Su Yuheng: "Look at how much the things on it can be worth if they are all sold?" ”
Su Yuheng took the account book and flipped through it, and asked in surprise, "Are you preparing...... Selling property? ”
"Not bad." Yu Junyan nodded and said, "Not to mention other places, how many middle-aged men are there in Beibei County alone, they are poor all the year round, forced by their livelihood, as long as they can afford the money, are they afraid that no one will join the army?" ”
Su Yuheng continued to flip through a few pages of the ledger, and suddenly realized: "These ...... Isn't it all what you asked for Chi Wei? It turns out that you have already calculated that you will have useful money one day, and you deliberately show a spendthrift and insatiable greed in front of Chi Wei on weekdays, just to get more money from him and keep it for recruiting troops and horses. Jun Yan, you are really prescient! ”
"However, we will have a much better life in the future than we do now." Yu Junyan's eyes showed apology, "I'm afraid I'm going to wronged you." ”
Su Yuheng waved his hand indifferently: "What are you wronged about, I found out that I want to go to Shaliu City with you, and I don't live here." ”
Yu Junyan's expression changed, and he asked with a little temptation, "Do you really want to go to Shaliu City with me?" You must know that the Xiwa army is not as easy to deal with as the water thieves encountered in Momiji Village, and it is very likely that their lives will be in danger. ”
Su Yuheng frowned slightly and asked, "Even Junyan, you can't guarantee that you will come back safely?" ”
Yu Junyan smiled lightly in his heart: "After all, I'm afraid, no wonder, after all, it's a canary that grew up in a cage, and it was suddenly pulled onto the battlefield that could die at any time, and no one would be afraid if it was changed." ”
So he shook his head with a smile and said, "Yes, I can't guarantee that I will come back safely." ”
Su Yuheng nodded and smiled with relief: "Since it is so dangerous, I naturally want to go with you." I want to protect Jun Yan. ”
"Protect me?" Yu Junyan felt a little ridiculous, but he couldn't laugh, looking at Su Yuheng's serious appearance, what he said just now didn't seem like a joke, although he didn't feel that he needed anyone's protection, but when he heard him say something like that to himself, his heart was inexplicably moved.
"Yes, I will protect you!" Su Yuheng stepped forward and hugged Yu Junyan's waist, rubbed his sideburns and whispered, "I said it a long time ago, you are Meiyu, I am Jinzi, I will protect you from getting hurt." ”
This sentence reminded Yu Junyan of the pair of gold and jade that the emperor had rewarded, and for the first time he had a good impression of what he rewarded.
"Okay, since you have decided to go to Shaliu City with me, make good preparations, and we will leave tomorrow and go to Chobei County to recruit troops first."
"What? The princess wants to go to Shaliu City with the prince?! Peaches looked at Su Yuheng with wide eyes, "Where are you going to do something?" It's dangerous, it's not fun at all. ”
Su Yuheng grinned, didn't explain much, just urged: "You go and pack my luggage, we will leave tomorrow." ”
Peaches looked at Su Yuheng's smirk, not knowing if it was true or if he wanted to play with himself, so he ran to ask Li Zi before he knew that it was true.
"You say, what did the prince do with the princess to Shaliu City?" Momoko asked puzzled, "It's not a beautiful place." There are also Xiwa people, the prince is strong in martial arts, high in art, and bold, so he is naturally fearless, but the princess does not know martial arts, and her brain is ...... Isn't it dangerous for him to get there? ”
"I don't know why." Li Zi shook his head and said, "I heard the people talking about it, saying that the prince dislikes the princess as a fool and wants to take this opportunity to get rid of him." ”
"What?!" Momoko was shocked, "Get rid of the princess?!" ”
Li Zi hurriedly covered her mouth, lowered her voice and said, "What are you doing so loudly, if you are heard by the prince, be careful of being beaten up." ”
Momoko also lowered her voice and asked, "You say...... Will the prince really kill the princess? ”
Li Zi thought for a moment and said, "I don't think so." Although the prince doesn't care about the princess, he doesn't hate it, and he doesn't look like he will kill the princess. But...... It's not good to say this kind of thing......"
"What do you mean by that?"
"What do you think, what did the prince do when he went to Shaliu City? It's the commander who went to war, the princess can't be civil, and the other can't be martial, what is he going to do? ”
Momoko glanced at her and said, "Isn't this the question I asked you just now, why did you ask me again?" ”
Li Zi said: "Think about it, a character like the prince, let him marry a fool as his wife, this fool is still a man, is he willing to do it?" ”
Momoko replied without thinking, "Naturally, I don't want to." ”
"That's it, but he dares to be angry and dare not speak, after all, the emperor personally gave the marriage, if he doesn't agree, it is a big crime to resist the decree."
Momoko felt that this was reasonable, and nodded frequently.
Li Zi continued: "The emperor gave marriage, and this princess must be abolished. The prince and the princess are both men, and it is impossible for two men to have children, even if the prince takes a concubine and gives birth to a child in the future, the child is not a son-in-law, and the treatment will not be as good as that of the son-in-law, so that the power of the prince's vein will be invisibly reduced. Do you say that the prince is unwilling in his heart? ”
Peaches blurted out: "I'm definitely unwilling, and I'm not willing to change anyone." ”
Li Zi said: "So as long as the princess is alive, the prince is equivalent to falling into the trap set by the emperor." The prince is bound to be unwilling to go on all the time. Therefore, if the prince wants to jump out of the trap, the princess must die. This time to go to Shaliu City to fight against the army of Siwa, it is inevitable that there will be casualties, and the princess is crazy, if she dies somewhere, no one will be suspicious, or even if she is suspicious, there is no way. ”
