177 Border War
The days are as calm as water, and they go on day by day.
However, the peaceful days are unlikely to last long, and within two months of calm, the imperial court received the news that the Hu people in the Western Regions had invaded Dafeng. The peaceful days of the Emperor of the Apocalypse eating fast and reciting Buddha were disrupted in this way, and there was no one available in the entire court.
In addition to the Sun family, the eldest prince was confined by the emperor to his own mansion and has not yet come out. And He Yu has never led soldiers to fight since he was a child, and every day in the capital, in addition to spending time with a bunch of gentlemen, he is standing next to him every day when he goes to court and making wall flowers without saying a word, how can such a little prince let him lead troops to fight?
In desperation, the Emperor of the Apocalypse could only use the Great Prince again and let him lead his troops to Yanmen Pass in the Western Regions.
After Xiao Yao heard about it, she also felt ridiculous, and joked to He Yu, "How jealous the emperor is of you, it has come to this point, and he is still guarding against you!" ”
"Where is this to prevent me, this is really difficult for me to take on my own responsibility." He Yu shook his head and sent a strawberry to Xiao Yao's mouth.
Since revealing those secrets, the relationship between the two seems to be even closer, after all, there are no secrets in the middle, and on weekdays, Xiao Yao always teases him with the words that He Yu was a scumbag in his previous life, and He Yu is not angry, but accepts it with a smile.
One day, Xiao Yao suddenly remembered, "You said you know that I have been reincarnated for several lifetimes and have followed me, so have you peeked at me taking a bath?!" ”
He Yu was a little confused at first, and then said with a wicked smile, "What if you look at it, what if you don't look at it." I've seen it many times now, anyway. ”
"That's what you've seen? You rascal! Saying that, Xiao Yao picked up the soft pillow in his hand and was about to smash it, He Yu immediately rushed forward and snatched Xiao Yao's pillow down, "Okay, okay, I followed you, but I really haven't followed up with your house." ”
"Really?" Xiao Yao's eyes were suspicious.
"Nature is true. In those years, I couldn't go in and out of the world at will, not to mention that at that time, the king of Hades couldn't suck away all your essence in order to reincarnate as a human several times, so I occasionally followed you when you came home late, and I couldn't enter the house. He Yu honestly raised his hand and replied.
However, on the contrary, Xiao Yao's eyes widened, "In this way, I thought that ghosts could really float wherever they want in the human world!" It turns out that you also have limitations. ”
"It's nature. Taoism is natural. The reincarnation of the Six Realms has its own rules. Contain each other but also do not invade each other, otherwise. The whole world has long been in chaos. “
These words made Xiao Yao nod thoughtfully, indicating that he understood He Yu's statement.
However, think about He Yu wandering alone in this world at that time, occasionally just to take a look. After suffering like this for hundreds of years, Xiao Yao still couldn't help but feel distressed. "Those hundreds of years have been very hard."
"No matter how bitter it is, don't you still wait for it now?" He Yu didn't care about it, and in fact, He Yu didn't remember the feelings of that time too clearly. I always feel as if I have just passed through a chaotic period, hundreds of years have passed, and then finally I am sincerely moved by the world. He sent his daughter-in-law back again.
Seeing that He Yu didn't have much feeling about what he mentioned during that time, he simply stopped mentioning such a topic. Anyway, for now, the results of hundreds of years of waiting are good for the time being.
Then don't think about it so much and live a good life.
The Western Regions attacked, the eldest prince took command and went out to fight, and the border soldiers resisted to the death and fought bloodily.
However, there was still a faction of singing and dancing in the capital, and everyone still had to do what they had to do, and they were not affected by the border war in the slightest.
Until an urgent war report arrived on the desk of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the generals of the Western Regions took advantage of the night to sneak attack the Dafeng camp, and all the grain and grass that had been stored were burned down by a fire, and the eldest prince was also seriously injured and unconscious. The entire court is finally nervous, the barbarians of the Western Regions are menacing, according to this posture, won't they attack the capital all the way in a few days?!
However, the roof leak happened to be rainy and cloudy.
At this time, the supplies transported from the southwest to the front came again to report that they had been robbed by a group of unidentified people, resulting in the death of the entire logistics transportation army. This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
The entire court was gloomy and miserable, and the people were panicked.
Xiao Yao also found that He Yu had been staying in the palace recently, and he didn't come back much, and sometimes he even slept in the East Palace, as if he was planning something with the prince overnight.
In addition, the month of the belly is also older, and the movement is becoming more and more inconvenient, but in order to be able to give birth smoothly at that time, Xiao Yao still insists on going to the yard every day to walk around and exercise, so as to help the smooth delivery at that time.
The delivery room or something has been prepared for a long time. Compared with the last time, I have a lot of experience and conditioning this time.
He Yu stood in the prince's study, the prince leaned back against the chair behind the desk, squinted his eyes and said, "You say, how can this matter be so coincidental?" ”
"Isn't there a saying, no book is written without coincidence, are you right?" He Yu threw a wink at the prince, and his mouth still snorted. made the prince directly goosebumps.
He Yu smiled proudly at Erlang's leg without caring at all, and the prince touched his arm and continued, "Do you mean that the Hu people in the Western Regions colluded with the Southwest? ”
"I don't know if it's collusion, and I can't figure it out if there is a mole between us." He Yu changed his posture, but he still didn't have a straight shape, but the prince was used to it, and he didn't feel anything wrong at all.
The prince thought about He Yu's words and nodded, "What you said is not unreasonable, the southwest place is originally an easy and difficult position to defend and attack, and there are many mountains and valleys, if they didn't know the news for a long time, how would they know that my logistics troops were going to pass through there?" ”
"That's right," He Yu straightened up and nodded, "The top priority must be to investigate the internal traitor first, as the so-called external must first be secured, and if the internal is not clear, how can we be consistent with the external world." ”
For He Yu's words, the prince agreed with 10,000. He stretched out his hand and touched the fold, "I'll write to my father and emperor now, and start with a thorough investigation from the inside!" ”
"Hmm." He Yu was noncommittal, and stood up and stood beside the prince.
The crown prince said as he wrote, "If the emperor sends you to take command of the expedition at this time, can you be prepared?" ”
I thought He Yu would be excited, but who knew that He Yu was just giggling. Said. "My daughter-in-law will give birth in a few days, and I don't want to be by my daughter-in-law's side when she gives birth."
Now it was the prince's turn to be stunned. He thought about it, then shook his head and smiled, "You...... Let me say what you are good about. ”
"Hehe, that's what I'm about anyway. For the past two years, at least this year. I didn't think about leading troops to war. When He Yu said this, his expression was very serious, but the prince was focused on writing the recital, and he didn't see He Yu's expression.
The next day, in court.
The prince's letter was caused by the fact that there were traitors colluding with foreign parties in the court. There was an uproar in the court.
Someone immediately stood up to support the prince, and said that he had already guessed this, otherwise why was our army's food and grass so robbed? And some people scolded the prince at this critical juncture. They also vainly try to shake people's hearts, and they will inevitably plot against them.
For a time, the whole court was noisy. It's even more lively than the vegetable market.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse sat on the dragon chair and said nothing. While He Yu sat peacefully on his wall flowers, he secretly observed the expression of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and silently counted in his heart, five, four, three, two, one.
"Enough!" As the countdown of the last number ended, the Emperor of the Apocalypse shouted, "What a noise!" Look at you, what kind of system you have become! Now that the soldiers at the border pass are short of food and grass, and the prince is still in a coma, none of you have come out to automatically ask Ying to lead the troops to the battle, but they are arguing here and suspicious of each other! Well, very well, this is my humerus! ”
Suddenly, the originally bustling court became extremely quiet in an instant, and everyone lowered their heads, as if the one who quarreled just now was not themselves at all, and everyone was trying to narrow their sense of existence, for fear that if they didn't pay attention, they would become the punching bag of the Emperor of the Apocalypse at this moment.
"Okay, my own people bite my own people, and I bite so happily, Xiao Moyi!" Suddenly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse shouted.
"The minister is here!" Xiao Mo is easy to come out of the ranks.
"From today onwards, I will order you to serve as the secretary of the household department and the secretary of the Dali Temple, and investigate this matter thoroughly! If anyone dares to collude with inside and outside and betray the imperial court, no matter who it is, no matter how serious it is, it will be punished as treason! You know?! Emperor Apocalypse commanded coldly.
"Minister, obey!" Xiao Moyi knelt down to accept the order.
Suddenly, in the entire court, although everyone didn't say a word, they looked at each other, and they all saw the words "frightened" in each other's eyes.
However, at this time, suddenly the crown prince came out and said, "Report to my father, my son is willing to lead the troops to the battle!" ”
The entire court was in an uproar, and immediately someone stood up and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not, the prince is the inheritance of the country, how can he go to the border in person with a thousand gold, if there are three long and two short, how good is this!" ”
The prince said lightly, "Now that the eldest brother is still on the front line, how can the younger brother see his brother suffering!" Father, please give your permission! ”
Emperor Tianqi looked at the gentle crown prince under the throne, and suddenly had a tired feeling, he waved his hand weakly, "This matter, wait for me to think about it again, let's retreat." ”
The emperor left, and the ministers dispersed, and in the end, the four princes, He Yu and the crown prince were left.
The fourth prince looked at the prince still kneeling motionless on the empty hall, and seemed to feel that he couldn't say anything, so he could only walk out silently. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw the chief eunuch next to Ning Guifei walking towards him, "I've seen the four princes, Ning Guifei asked the four princes to go!" ”
"Got it, let's go." After Yang Yunze finished speaking, he walked away under the guidance of the eunuch.
At this time, He Yu slowly stepped forward to help the prince up, and the two walked out together. He Yu quipped, "Are you really ready to lead the troops on the expedition this time?" ”
The prince smiled and shook his head, "Since you have a gamble, you have to make any preparations, and no one knows what the Son of Heaven is thinking in his heart." ”
"You're right," He Yu said with a smile, "but this time, I think we should have at least sixty percent certainty that we can win the bet." ”
"I think so."
I haven't been back home for many days, and now I'm finally free, so He Yu naturally ran home in a hurry.
After getting out of the carriage, as soon as the people walked to the middle courtyard, they saw Yunzhu standing in the middle of the courtyard with a smile, and when he saw He Yu coming, he immediately bent his knees and greeted him, "The slave has seen the prince." ”
"Get up, the princess is in the house, right?" He Yu asked.
"It's here, it's just ......" Yunzhu looked at He Yu and continued, "It's just that the princess said that the princess hasn't returned home for a few days, and he hasn't even brought a change of clothes, so he must have taken a good bath in the past few days." The prince must be washed before entering the house, otherwise he is not allowed to enter the house. ”
Yunzhu learned from each other, and he didn't dare to say anything wrong, and he was still careful in his heart.
After all, she is not a princess, the one who can be held in the palm of the prince's hand.
He Yu listened to Yunzhu's words, shook his head and smiled, and could only say helplessly, "Okay, since that's the case, let's prepare for this king to prepare for a bath!" ”
Since the prince agreed so readily, Yunzhu also went to prepare the clothes neatly, after all, this matter must be fast, if the prince regrets it later, I don't know what to do!
After bathing, He Yu walked into the inner room with a refreshing breath, Xiao Yao leaned on the couch to read, heard the movement, put down the book and said with a smile, "I'm done." ”
"Naturally, if you don't wash it, you have to dislike me." He Yu went to the bed, hugged Xiao Yao, touched Xiao Yao's growing belly, and said, "It's really well-behaved!" ”
"yes, it's safe, too." Xiao Yao smiled happily and gently, "When Imperial Doctor Zhang came to ask for Ping'an Pulse today, he looked at the fetus and said that it should be a girl." ”
"That's great!" He Yu was happy when he heard this, "Aren't we thinking about having a daughter, this is coming!" God is really not kind to us. ”
"That is, you have suffered for hundreds of years, is God still willing to let you suffer?"
"Yes." He Yu hugged Xiao Yao with a smile, and the two of them talked about love for a while.
Xiao Yao suddenly remembered and asked, "I heard that the prince is going to lead troops to the battle?" ”
"The news came quite quickly," He Yu grinned, patted Xiao Yao and comforted, "It's not certain whether to go or not now, after all, the prince is the prince, and there are many problems for the prince to lead the troops." The emperor also said that he still had to think about it for a few more days, and it was not necessary to send the four princes when the time came. ”
"Why didn't I send you?"
"You want me to go."
"Naturally, I don't want to, how dangerous the battlefield is."
"That's right, because I don't know how to learn." (To be continued)
