The inside of Chang'an City is full of lights, brocade clothes and costumes everywhere, and the traffic is busy. There are a variety of Chinese languages everywhere.
The envoys of various countries looked at the bustling streets of Chang'an City and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
The emperor looked at the tributes sent by various small countries, all kinds of rare treasures, and smiled. It's a peaceful and prosperous world.
"Have all the envoys from all over the world come now?" The emperor looked at the tribute in front of him and asked Yu Wenshu beside him.
Yuwen Shu frowned slightly, "Back to Your Majesty, Gaochang in the northwest and Goguryeo in the northeast did not come!" ”
The smile on the emperor's face suddenly froze, "What a Goguryeo!" The tributes sent last year were also very perfunctory. It seems that the peaceful days have passed for too long! ”
"The emperor is angry! It's not good for the body! Yu Wenshu bowed to the side and accompanied the emperor to pace in the hall.
"Obviously, you can exchange these flashy treasures for peace and prosperity, those fools don't know what to think, do they have to shed blood to understand this truth?" The emperor said, his eyes full of anger.
"Does Your Majesty mean to go to war?" Yuwen Shu squinted at the emperor's expression.
The emperor frowned, "Wait for me to plan carefully!" ”
"By the way, how is Yang Su doing? It's been a long time since I've seen him go to court! ”
When he thought of fighting, the first thing the emperor thought of was Yang Su. His ability to lead troops, the emperor is convinced. Although he is old now, if he is physically strong, he can still fight.
"Back to the emperor, it is said that he is sick in bed, I think it is probably pretended." Yuwen Shu smiled treacherously.
"Pretended? Why pretend to be sick? The emperor was taken aback.
Yu Wenshu told the emperor about the rumors he had heard, "There is a legend that the death of the crown prince was committed by Yang Su, and he sent someone to poison him. There is also a legend that Yang Su sent a warlock to pierce the villain and curse the prince. Yang Su was afraid of rumors, so he didn't dare to come to the court. Pretending to be sick at home. ”
"There are such rumors? I haven't heard of it at all. Could this really be the case? The emperor's face changed rapidly. mentioned the death of the crown prince, and he was heartbroken. If it was said that this was Yang Su's doing, he didn't believe it, but he felt a chill.
"Some people say that the prince can't end up depressed, how can a person suddenly die depressed in such a short time? Someone must have poisoned him. Yu Wenshu continued to fan the flames.
The emperor did not speak again for a long time.
Back in the dormitory, the emperor tossed and turned.
When the queen saw that he was in trouble, she asked him, "Your Majesty, why is it so troublesome?" ”
"The peaceful and prosperous world in my heart needs more patience and careful planning." The emperor sighed as he spoke. There was no mention of the death of Yang Su and the crown prince.
After listening to the emperor's detailed explanation, the queen also frowned.
"If we talk about how to solve these things without bloodshed, it needs to be subdued. Let the surrounding small countries not dare to make mistakes easily. ”
"The queen is right, if you can win without bloodshed, you can try to win without bloodshed, this is the best principle of soldiers." The emperor's mind was spinning rapidly.
"How difficult!"
"Now I'm just worrying about how I can do this with the least amount of sacrifice. The queen's strategy of subjugation, I think is very feasible. ”
The next day, above the court. The emperor mentioned to everyone the two countries that will meet in the future.
The pot suddenly exploded among the ministers, and everyone began to discuss.
To sum up, there are more main battles. One by one, they were filled with righteous indignation.
"The kingdom of the land of projectiles did not come to the court. How unreasonable! ”
"That's right! How can it be justified that we will send troops to destroy them! A small country that owes a lot of money! ”
The emperor was dizzy by the chaotic voices of the ministers, and shouted, "Give me silence!" Yuwen Aiqing, what do you think? ”
"Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that he should wave his troops to the north and shock the Quartet!" Yu Wenshu's tone was firm, and it seemed that he was also a main battle faction.
Yu Shiji next to him squinted at Yu Wenshu, this old boy must have guessed that the emperor was going to go on an expedition, so he said so.
The emperor didn't know if it was okay, so he turned his head to look at Yu Shiji, "Yu Aiqing, what do you think?" ”
Yu Shiji is a person who doesn't like to fight very much, and he also likes to drink Yuwen Shu and sing the opposite. He took a step forward and bowed his hand, "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen feels that he shouldn't send troops easily!" “
"Oh? Tell us more about your plan! The emperor was obviously very interested in this proposal, and his tone was much clearer.
"The minister thinks that he who surrenders to the soldiers of others without shedding blood is superior!" Yu Shiji said.
The emperor was overjoyed, and finally someone wanted to go with him.
"Specifically, how to not fight?" The emperor leaned forward unconsciously. looked at Yu Shiji with interest, waiting for his next step.
"Your Majesty used to take a dragon boat to patrol the south of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River shook the south of the Yangtze River, making the people of the south of the Yangtze River stable, stable and prosperous. If you go on a tour of the north with such a formation, will it make the small tribal countries in the north feel the same deterrence, and they will not dare to make another attempt when the time comes? After Yuwen finished speaking, he bowed his head and waited for the emperor to speak. But he didn't wait for a reply for a long time. He looked up at the emperor.
I saw the emperor laughing, "Okay! Good Yu Shiji, well said, this time I did as you said! Get ready for your northern tour! ”
Everyone started talking again.
"Retreat!" Without waiting for the ministers to speak, the emperor decided on this matter. The retreat was announced.
"Yu Aiqing, you come with me! Yuwen Aiqing also come! ”
So, Sang personally began to discuss the matter of this northern tour.
Although Yu Wenshu and Yu Shiji usually don't like each other, they both show team spirit at this time. There was no disagreement in the division of labor, and soon the division of work was carried out.
Preparations are in full swing.
"It's finally time to go on the expedition again, and even though it's not a war, I'm still very excited. It's no different from fighting a war, it's just that it doesn't bleed. The emperor looked at the queen who was making tea next to him, took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
The queen raised her eyes, "I wish Your Majesty a smooth northern tour." The tone was indifferent.
"Speaking of which, why have you started making tea lately, Queen?"
The queen smiled embarrassedly, "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, and you don't have time to accompany me." I had nothing to do, so I learned. “
"Very good, very good!" It's great to have a hobby, no matter whether there is anyone to accompany you, it's not lonely. ”
"Who said that? Without His Majesty's company, I will still be lonely. The queen said with a smile.
"I don't know when I'll be back from this northern tour. You can't take the queen with you like patrolling Jiangnan. Hey, in the past few months, the queen has practiced the art of making tea! The emperor said, and took another sip of tea.
Finally ushered in the day of the northern tour.
The carriage in which the emperor sat was gorgeous and spacious, and next to it were Yu Shiji and Yu Wenshu who were riding tall horses.
The guard of honor was even more spectacular than when they returned from Jiangnan, and the soldiers were all dressed in brightly colored new armor. A big smile on his face. It didn't feel like going on a campaign at all.
The mighty team walked for a long time before finally walking out of Chang'an City. All the way north.
