Chapter 37 The return date of the gentleman is not due

The Northern Wei Dynasty has been very quiet all these years, of course, there is no lack of robbery and harassment of the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the border areas, but after all, they are all petty fights, and they run away as soon as the officers and soldiers come, after all, there are bad people in any country or region, so the imperial court does not care, and the defenders of Fengming Pass are only 2,000 people, but they have been safe and sound all these years.

King Chenjun repelled the Western Xia army, stationed on the western border for seven years, the reputation of the army is very high, these things have long been spread in the northern defenders, so these soldiers and generals have double respect for the king of Chenjun, although two thousand defenders can not compete with the 50,000 army of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but one by one is still in high spirits, there is no fear.

Looking at their appearance, King Chenjun nodded and said: "Now the Northern Wei army is stationed twenty miles outside the city, although the intention is obvious, but according to the judgment of this king, there will be no war for a while, Lord Luo has repaired the book and returned to Beijing, and the court applied for additional troops, and you have also appeased the soldiers of all departments, each performing its own duties, do not panic, Lord Liu, you arrange the manpower, take turns to exchange and guard the various city gates, from now on, idle people are not allowed to enter the city, in addition, where is the county?" ”

Lord Meng of the county immediately stepped forward and saluted: "In Xia Meng, Chang'an is here, what does the county king command?" ”

King Chenjun asked, "Lord Meng, I don't know how many people there are in this Fengming Pass?" ”

Lord Meng replied: "Back to the county king, this Fengming Pass is originally an urn city for garrisons, and the people who come to live here are basically from nearby villages and counties to do business, and then settle here, but there are only about 300 people. ”

King Chenjun nodded: "Very good, now that the war between my Great Liang and the Northern Wei Dynasty is imminent, and it will take some time for the reinforcements of the imperial court to arrive, there must be Lord Lao Meng to persuade these people, bring their money and belongings to return to their hometowns for the time being, and then return to their residences when the war between Japan and Japan subsides." ”

Master Meng replied, "Okay, the minister will do it." ”

After making arrangements one by one, King Chenjun returned to his residence, sat at the table, and began to write a reply to Wanxi, hesitated for a long time, but still wrote with a pen: "Xi'er, the weather is getting colder, I hope you are well." Now Fengming Pass is already icy and snowy, the moat is covered with a very thick layer of ice, often people dig an ice hole in the ice to come out, use insects to catch the big fish inside, there is a charm, I hope to take you to walk around in the future. There is only one thing, or I have to tell you, the peace talks with the Northern Wei Dynasty are not as smooth as we estimate, today the Northern Wei Dynasty sent 50,000 troops, stationed outside the Fengming Pass, and the war is about to start, and if nothing else, the emperor's grandfather will order me to stay directly in the Fengming Pass, and the DPRK may not send reinforcements for a while, so it will take some time, the return date is not yet known, in any case, take care of yourself, wait for me. ”

The letter of the king of Chenjun was sent to the capital with the recital of Lord Luo, the emperor received the urgent performance of Lord Luo in the Golden Palace, and couldn't help frowning, and discussed with the ministers how to deal with it, this time those lords and old ministers were no longer silent, and Chen Zhuo, the secretary of the military department, asked for an order: "Your Majesty, now the 50,000 troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty are besieging Fengming Pass, but Fengming Pass only has 2,000 garrison troops, which is not enough to deal with, my dynasty has removed 30,000 guards on the northern border, as well as the troops from all over the country, and 20,000 reinforcements can be transferred to the northern border, and please make a decision as soon as possible." ”

The emperor thought for a while and asked Sun Dadao, "What does Sun Aiqing think?" This official Shangshu Sun is a student of Prince Heng's uncle An Tinghou, and Lord Sun said after a deep salute: "Qi Qi Sheng, the minister thinks that the Northern Wei Dynasty is just a bluff, Your Majesty, you think, the Northern Wei Dynasty has been in drought for many years in recent years, and the harvest is not good. Seeing that the emperor nodded slightly, Lord Meng, the head of the household department, stepped forward and said: "Shengshang, the minister thinks that what Lord Sun said is true, Fengming Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it drags on for a while, the Northern Wei Dynasty will withdraw its troops due to lack of food and grass, and then it will take the initiative to negotiate peace with my Daliang." The emperor nodded and asked the prime minister, "What does Shen Aiqing mean?" ”

Prime Minister Lord Shen stepped forward and said: "The minister thinks that what Lord Sun and Lord Meng said has some truth, the saint does not need to be too anxious, there is the king of Chenjun in Fengming Pass, it is okay, it is better to let Lord Chen prepare to transfer troops first, after all, these people are not a small number, the north is extremely cold, the cotton clothes of the grain, grass, horses and soldiers need to be prepared for some time, and then we will wait and see what happens, if the Northern Wei Dynasty really intends to attack my Liang, then it will not be too late for us to send reinforcements." ”

As soon as several military generals left behind in the court wanted to raise objections, the emperor spoke: "What Shen Aiqing said is extremely true, send a decree to Fengming Pass, and order the king of Chenjun to garrison Fengming Pass to observe the situation in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Lord Luo will temporarily return to the capital. ”

After retiring from the early dynasty, these elderly generals gathered together, shook their heads slightly, and thought to themselves, Shengshang, you listened to the words of these civil officials back then, and you were indecisive, so that your eldest son died in the immeasurable mountain, and now you still want to let the eldest grandson who once escaped death not come back? One veteran thought of this and said, "No." Then he turned around and went back to the palace gate, and met Chen Zhuo, the secretary of the military department who had just left the palace, Chen Zhuo arched his hand and said: "Old general, where are you going?" ”

The veteran said, "I have something to ask to see the Holy One." ”

Chen Zhuo smiled and said, "If the old general is for the sake of King Chenjun, he doesn't have to go." ”

The veteran was stunned for a moment and said, "Why?" ”

"King Chenjun is free to arrange."

The veteran general was skeptical, and Chen Zhuo said again: "General, please rest assured, King Chenjun will be fine, and the saint also knows very well that if something happens to King Chenjun, my eldest aunt, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, will not give up." ”

The veteran said in his heart, yes, the eldest princess will never sit idly by, so he arched his hand and said: "What Lord Chen said is very true, then the old man will go back." ”

Chen Zhuo persuaded the old general to leave, and then said to the attendants: "Prepare the horse and return to the military department." ”

Here Wanxi read the letter from the king of Bachen County, although he had been prepared, he was still in a low mood, Jun asked if the return date was not due, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back, so he wanted to go out for a walk when he was depressed, so he ordered Zijin to arrange for the phantom to rest first, and then took Zipei to disguise himself as a man and went straight to Muyun Tower.

This Muyun Building is located on the east side of the capital, there are many merchants and shops nearby, and Muyun Lou is unique, similar to a modern commercial square, there are everything to eat, wear and play, and there is even a special theater for entertainment, so it also attracts many rich sons and ladies. Outsiders only know that Muyunlou is a business and a shop, only a few people, like King Chenjun, have investigated the details of Muyunlou, and only know that in fact, Muyunlou is an organization, and the system is clear, but it only found out that the owner of Muyunlou is a young man, named Yunmo, but no one knows that the person who is really in charge of Muyunlou is the eldest lady of the Ministry of Rites, Luo Wanxi, therefore, the last time in Wanxi's room, King Chenjun was so shocked when he learned that the person who claimed to be his subordinate to Wanxi was Yunmo.

After Wanxi walked into Muyun Building with Zipei, a person greeted him and said to Wanxi: "Yun Gongzi, please upstairs." She smiled and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
