Time flies, and another year has passed in a flash. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Winter turns to spring, willows turn green, the warm spring breeze blows green the endless rice fields, blows the quietly flowing river, and all kinds of wildflowers bloom, all over the grange, in the green space.

It was a peaceful atmosphere, but the peace was broken by a bulletin.

In the main hall, Yan Wanze was furious, angrily shook the express in his hand, and glared angrily at the civil and military officials who didn't dare to come out with their heads hanging down, especially the military department Shangshu.

"Good, good, good!" After saying three good words in a row, Yan Wanze asked angrily: "I really didn't expect that after so many years, there would be such a ridiculous thing in my hands!" Elder Chen Ge, Mo Shangshu, what do you explain? ”

"Damn it!" Elder Chen Ge and Master Shang Shumo of the Ministry of War knelt down.

Around the Tanglin Kingdom, except for the east by the sea, the other three sides are bordered by other lands. The border to the north is the most barren, but after the opening of trade a few years ago, it has been relatively peaceful, at least until now. The south and southwest sides are relatively rich, so except for some small friction, the whole is not broken.

The west is different, the West Chu State in the west has been in civil war, to put it bluntly, the children of the West Chu royal family are fighting for power and profit, after the old emperor died suddenly a few years ago, the prince at that time was weak, and he has not been able to occupy the initiative well, and several of his brothers were not convinced, so they played the matter of cutting the land. The crown prince who ascended the throne had no choice but to agree, and the result was good, a good Western Chu country was like being divided into five or six small countries, how could it be united.

And a large part of the area occupied by the five princes is the border with the Tanglin Kingdom and the nomads to the north. In the past few years, there has been nothing to do, but I didn't expect that this time I would be bold enough to come in and directly behead the Taishou of Ningcheng and hang it outside the city gate! The city was even looted, but fortunately, after doing this, they retreated without directly occupying the city.

Seeing this, the general stationed in the garrison immediately gathered a group of soldiers and wanted to avenge this slap in the face, but he was beaten again, and the soldiers lost half of Thailand! It was only at this point that they handed over the fold!

Yan Wanze couldn't imagine that the major border cities he had been guarding and building were so vulnerable! According to this state of affairs, it is entirely possible to lose even two or three cities!

So where has all these years of construction gone? He looked at Chen Ge Lao and the eyes of the military department Shangshu, and he could eat people. After all, the affairs in the west are under the jurisdiction of Chen Ge Lao, not to mention the secretary of the military department, his home has been looted by someone, what are his soldiers doing? Catch lice? How many people have been lost!

Rao is accustomed to being calm and deep Chen Ge Lao and the self-confident military department Shangshu can't help but sweat at this moment, after all, this is a major event that cannot be escaped!

The two of them trembled and knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

"Your Majesty, let the last general go, these rabbit cubs are living too freely, see if the last general won't beat him!"

"Let me go, birds don't lay eggs in that place, it's all loess slag, and it's really hard to arrange troops if you haven't been there. Your Majesty, the last general has been stationed for a period of time, but he knows something. Another rugged-looking general jumped out as well.

"Who said that, I still know better than you about the ability to fight, Your Majesty, let me go."

"You..."

"That's it! Above the court, what are you shouting! Wei Guogong scolded them.

The two looked at each other unpleasantly and shut up.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is really time to give a good talk to the Western Chu Kingdom......" Before he finished speaking, a "newspaper..." interrupted his words, which also made everyone's face more solemn.

You must know that those who can enter the temple without passing the proclamation are only allowed to be related to the affairs of the country.

Sure enough, it turned out that the five princes of the Western Chu State repeated their old tricks and went to loot another city. Fortunately, the Taishou of that city was not so, and resisted with the city guard, but the materials on the border were not so abundant, and I didn't know how many days it could last.

Even so, it has been a long way, and many days have passed, and I don't know what the situation is now!

Yan Wanze stood up and stepped off the dragon chair, his face solemn made the group's waists bend even more.

He walked a few steps back and forth in the main hall, and after standing still, he asked, "Such an act must not be forgiven!" ”

Hearing him say this, all the people followed suit, and for a while, the voice of the hall kept echoing.

"In that case, immediately let the generals of the nearby cities go to support, and be sure to defend it first. At the same time, I want to see if the civil strife in this Western Chu State is not enough, and I want to provoke a war between the two countries! Hum!

After speaking, he sat back, looked at the military department book below, carefully asked the number of people at the border, how many people were available, etc., and finally decided that the general of Jingzhong would lead the troops over and talk to the Western Chu State well!

It's just that on the issue of candidates, everyone is arguing, and many generals are vying to go.

There is no other reason, one is that the Western Chu State is so chaotic, how strong can the national strength be? How strong can the troops be? This battle is not difficult to fight! Second, the battle is not difficult to fight, but the military merits are so good! For this reason, everyone fought for it.

Until Wei Guogong stood up and said what he had learned over the years.

Emperor Xuanwu also signaled the great eunuch beside him to repeat the information collected in the palace.

For a while, the quarrel was gone, and the generals who had been shouting for joy before lowered their heads and recalculated their gains and losses.

It turned out that although the Western Chu Kingdom had been in turmoil and strife over the years, it had not fundamentally damaged the fundamentals. In particular, the strength of the five princes can be said to account for half of the troops of the Western Chu State, if it weren't for the fact that the other brothers all checked and balanced him in this regard, and the five princes themselves were brutal and unpopular. Therefore, although he has so many troops, he has never been able to pull the emperor off the horse.

And he is quite commendable in terms of the use of troops, the year before last in the process of fighting with the nomads, he took advantage of it, so it is not as easy as everyone imagined, especially since he has a lot of troops in his hands!

And the sick and weak emperor has slowly regained some initiative in recent years, weakening part of the power of two of the brothers, but he has not been too good for this prince! If the Tanglin Kingdom sends troops to this fifth prince this time, the emperor of the Western Chu State will definitely like to hear it. But this emperor's methods also made Emperor Xuanwu guarded, so in this war, how can he not only hit the five princes of Western Chu, but also prevent him from affecting the threat to the emperor of Western Chu, so that Western Chu can continue to suffer internal friction!

Of course, it is impossible for the court to say it so clearly.

But smart people can understand it a little, and if they don't understand it very well, they just look at what they are familiar with and do it themselves.

Therefore, the main hall, which was still very lively, was a lot quieter, although there were still those who insisted on going, but they could not convince the public in terms of ability.

It wasn't until the two brothers, Yang Qicheng and Yang Qi'an, stood up that many people were relieved.

Several big princes nodded one after another, and Meng Yang, who had already become the prince of Zhenguo, also wanted to follow.

Yan Wanze nodded in his heart.

But in the end, he only agreed to let Yang Qi'an go, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would also go with him this time.

Afterwards, they and the princes and elders of the major countries were called into the imperial study, and after some discussion, they were scheduled to leave in three days.

Wuping Hou Mansion, it was the first time that everyone had dinner in such silence.

After finishing the meal, the old lady moved the Buddha beads, and only slowly told Yang Qi'an to pay attention to safety, so she didn't say much, and let them all disperse.

Yang Qicheng patted his brother's shoulder and returned to his yard in silence. Under the conditions that the situation is not so bad, considering the relationship between the family, it is generally not allowed to let the whole family go into battle, and it is not when it is not in the border city, there is no way to be poor. The slightest solution will only let one of the sons go to war, in order to prevent the family from breaking its roots. Although he has added grandchildren this year, there is no such problem, but the emperor must have taken it into consideration, so he allowed the second child to go, but he felt uncomfortable, in front of the family, there is always someone to be in front, and there is always to guard the rear.

Among the younger generation, several of them all scrambled to go together, but one by one they were denied.

Yang Wende has just become a father, and the child has not yet been confined, and the old lady has asked him to take care of his daughter-in-law and children now.

And Yang Wenlin will get married in a few months, and don't make any mess to delay other people's good girls.

Yang Wenkang, the reason given by the old lady is that your father has gone, you are the eldest son of the second room, and you have younger brothers and sisters to take care of.

As for Yang Wenlin, there is no reason why the big ones are not allowed to go, and the small ones are allowed to go.

Therefore, the old lady and the Feng family and the Liu family both refuted it, and even the two Yang Qicheng brothers did not agree, and several people were immediately deflated.

Only after Yang Wenkang got out of the old lady's yard, he saw that his parents had gone away, so he hurriedly ran out of the Hou Mansion to find Shen Ye.

Looking at the empty room, the old lady sighed and said, "Ah Zhu, you say, am I really old now, and I can't see goodbye more and more over the years in Beijing." ”

Mama Wang also sighed: "Don't talk about you, the same is true for slaves and maids, you talk about those people, why can't they live a good life, what's the point of calling back and forth?" Every family has old people and children, don't those people have them? ”

"Huh." The old lady laughed at what she said, it was rare to see her like this.

Mama Wang also laughed.

"Yes, this may be what we women think, in the eyes of their men, there are not only the elderly and children, but also interests, fame, and the world, alas, there are too many things."

Mama Wang also sighed.

"It's just—" The old lady hesitated.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

"Isn't it too much for me to stop the four children from going with her today..."She really feels that she is old, not only can she not see the parting, but also the children can't see any mistakes, but in this way, will the children not be able to grow up?

"Slaves and maids all understand that in this capital, who doesn't protect their children as the root of their lives. It's only the border city that can't help it, so the children have to be pushed out. So, miss, you don't have to worry too much, I think the four young masters are very capable. The eldest and young masters have become fathers, they are more and more stable, and they do their errands well; As for the second young master, seeing that he will get married in a few months, he is also the head of a small family, and the future second young grandmother will soon be able to add another grandson to you, he also has a good errand and a good future; Besides, the third young master, you have also seen it, in the past two years, I have followed the prince, and I have become more and more valued, and people have become more thoughtful, and in the future, the future is not bad! Although the little master is still playful, but filial piety to your father and mother, the popularity is first-class, if you are on a bad day next year, it will not be bad. Rest assured! You don't have to go to that battlefield to fight for anything, you say? After Mama Wang said this in one breath, she looked at her with concern.

The old lady smiled bitterly: "It's all said that you have finished, what else do I have to say." ”

Mama Wang smiled proudly.

"Yes, I think the same way, but after all, they are all boys, and they are like their fathers and their grandfathers, and they like to play with sticks with five guns the most, alas."

"They are all young, if they really have that opportunity, they will naturally have it in the future, this time after all, the second master has already gone. It's just that I didn't expect that I would leave the day after tomorrow in such a hurry. ”

"Yes! I'm also old and confused, just grinding and chirping here, Ah Zhu, hurry, hurry up and pack some things for him to bring, especially good medicinal materials. The second family must also be cleaned up, and when the time comes, we will bring us to her first, and let her see this pick by herself. ”

"Okay, I'll go now?"

"Yes, go now, forget it, I'll go with you, go."

After saying that, she went to her storeroom, and when she had picked out the things, she asked the big girl to send them over.

She just sent it here, and Feng personally sent a bunch of things over there, seeing that Liu's eyes were red, she comforted a few words, and it was not good to continue to bother, so she had to go back.

Le Yi sent her aunt to the outside of the main courtyard for her mother, Feng didn't let her send it, and asked her to go back quickly, so as to comfort her mother, Le Yi nodded.

On the way back, Le Yi thought of such an incident in his previous life, his father went to the border, and came back with military exploits, and was named Marquis of Wuping because of this. Therefore, this must be a good opportunity for her father, but now that her family is so worried, she can't say anything, so she has to try her best to comfort her mother and help pack her luggage.

When Yang Wenkang came back and told them that he had already told the prince that he would go with the prince, the Liu family was completely furious, and she hit Yang Wenkang several times in anger, and when she saw that he didn't dodge or dodge, she finally cried.

Mother loves to cry, but every time she sheds a lot of tears silently, crying like this regardless of the image is really unprecedented, and everyone is frightened.

Yang Qi'an and Yang Wenkang Yang Wenlin were so anxious around her, Le Yi told Mama Fan to let the girls go away, so as not to hear it badly, and when it was passed out, Grandmother had to worry about it, and Mama Fan went away.

Le Yi hugged her mother in her arms, but her slender body made Liu find a support, hugging her daughter and crying. (To be continued.) )
