Chapter 144: Three Birds with One Stone
"It's okay, Mr. Yun still hopes to live a long life after all. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" ****** sighed.
The next day, ****** left with his clansmen kneeling to carry Huqitu's ashes.
"Mr. Yun, this is a long time to go, I don't know when I will see you again. Take care all the way. ****** said.
Yu Ruyan nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "I will, ******, you also take good care of yourself." I'll sweat well, too. ”
"Don't leave Master Yun at that." Kowtowed, and sent Yu Ruyan and his party away.
"Ru'er, are you going back to Chen now?" Tang Yunluo asked.
Yu Ruyan nodded and said, "Those who know me, Yunluo also." There are some things that I must ask Zheng'er clearly in person. ”
"It's okay, there must be an understanding of things." Tang Yunluo said, "However, we won't go back directly from Mobei, let's take a detour to Wei Guo and Liang Guo." ”
"Why?" Ye Song asked, "Are you afraid that someone will chase and kill?" ”
Tang Yunluo said: "Not all, there is another thing, I want Ru'er to see it with her own eyes." ”
Yu Ruyan knew that Tang Yunluo must have a reason to do this, and since he said it, Yu Ruyan didn't ask much, and followed a detour from Mobei to defend the country.
When she arrived at Weiguo, Yu Ruyan knew the purpose of Tang Yunluo's detour.
It turned out that many of the victims of the Wu earthquake had died, but the surviving victims had to leave their homes and flee to neighboring countries due to the destruction of their homes and the death of their loved ones.
The Wei and Liang kingdoms are adjacent to the Wu people, and a large number of Wu people have fled here.
It's a pity that the two small countries of Wei and Liang can't accept a large number of Wu disaster victims at all, so they have no choice but to close the city gate and refuse to allow the Wu disaster victims to enter. The victims were cold and hungry, and in desperation, they had no choice but to smash open the city gates and break into the city to loot winter clothes and food.
In order to protect their own people, officials such as Wei Guo and Liang Guo had no choice but to arrest and massacre Wu people. Enraged, the Wu people began to confront the armies of the two countries, and chaos between the two countries was formed.
When she came to Weiguo, Yu Ruyan saw with her own eyes that the street was desolate, everyone was closed, and occasionally she could see a few people dressed as witches smashing the door and grabbing things, and she could hear the cries of children and women.
"How so?" Yu Ruyan muttered to herself as she looked at the desolate scene on the street.
Tang Yunluo sighed: "Ru'er, you now understand why I brought you here, right?" In fact, the situation on Liang Guo's side is almost the same. ”
Yu Ruyan sneered a few times and said, "I understand, Zheng'er, your trick is three birds with one stone!" ”
"How so?" Ye Song asked.
Yu Ruyan gritted her teeth and said: "First hit the Chu State hard, and then created a natural disaster, causing the Wu Clan earthquake, and at the same time weakening the power of the Chu State, this is killing two birds with one stone." But I didn't expect that the emperor would count the two small countries where the Wu refugees fled to neighboring countries such as Weiguo and Liangguo, looted food and clothing, and were severely damaged to a certain extent, this is the third eagle. ”
"Liang Guo, Wei Guo and other small countries were originally friendly with Chen Guo and didn't want to ......," Ye Song sighed.
Yu Ruyan sneered: "In the troubled times, how can there be any eternal friendship and eternal enemy? It's not all about using each other, whoever has a vicious wrist can strike first. Unexpectedly, our emperor could not help but deal a heavy blow to the most powerful state of Chu in the Central Plains, and used the Wu clan to disrupt two small countries. If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that his next step is not to continue to deal with Chu or Qi, but to annex Chen's 'friendly neighbors' first. ”
Tang Yunluo comforted: "Ru'er, this is also the emperor's technique, and you are helpless." ”
"Let's go......" Yu Ruyan said lightly.
Yu Ruyan's last confrontation in Chen Guo is just around the corner. With an extremely heavy heart, she walked step by step towards the person who had disappointed and disheartened her.
In the depths of winter, Yu Ruyan finally returned to the capital of Chen State.
The Great Bachelor's Mansion in the capital has long been ruined, but the place where Tang Yun lives next to it has always been in order, as if someone is taking care of it.
"Yunluo, has anyone been living here?" Yu Ruyan asked.
Tang Yunluo smiled and said, "Yes, the people of the Tang Sect have been pretending to be merchants after my instruction, and they come to the capital from time to time to take care of the house. ”
"Why?" Yu Ruyan asked with a smile.
Tang Yunluo explained: "I thought, you will definitely come back in the end. The university scholar's mansion is in ruins, so there must be a place to stay. ”
Yu Ruyan looked at Tang Yunluo, her heart was sweet, and she smiled slightly.
Tang Yunluo said: "Ru'er, you haven't laughed for a long time, do you know?" ”
"yes, it's been a long time." Yu Ruyan said, "I forgot when I laughed last time." ”
Ye Song asked with some concern: "Miss Yu, do you really want to enter the palace tomorrow?" Wouldn't it be dangerous if your emperor really wanted to kill you? ”
"Ru'er, since Mr. Ye said so, in fact, I am also worried." Tang Yun fell.
Yu Ruyan shook her head and said, "You don't have to worry. In the eyes of the emperor, I am not such an important person, if he really wanted my life, it would have been done a long time ago. Or rather, there are so many opportunities. ”
Tang Yunluo asked, "Tomorrow, do you want me to accompany you into the palace?" ”
"No need." Yu Ruyan said, "You are white, and entering the palace will definitely be hindered." Don't worry, I'll be fine, and after tomorrow, we'll leave the capital forever. ”
Tang Yunluo was overjoyed and said, "Really? Ru'er, after tomorrow, can our wish for the end of the cape really be fulfilled? ”
Yu Ruyan smiled faintly and said, "Yes, God still favors me after all." From then on, I was able to live the life I wanted. ”
"Jade girl, it is difficult to enter the palace this time, be careful." Ye Song said.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye, I will." Yu Ruyan said, "I'll go back to my bachelor's uniform in a while, bring my official uniform, tomorrow, it's my farewell to Zheng'er." ”
Tang Yunluo said: "I'll send someone to get it, you just rest." ”
The three of them settled down in the house to rest and wash away the fatigue of this time.
At night, Yu Ruyan couldn't sleep. Get up and put on your clothes in the courtyard.
The night is as cool as water, and the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
"Ru'er, can't you sleep?" Tang Yunluo's voice came from behind.
Yu Ruyan turned around and said, "It's still my husband who understands me." How did Zheng'er and I get to where we are today? ”
"It's not your fault." Tang Yunluo said, "The emperor ignores kindness and righteousness, and acts perversely, you shouldn't put all the responsibility on yourself." ”
Yu Ruyan sighed: "If you don't teach, your father's fault, your teaching is not strict, and your teacher is lazy." ”
Tang Yunluo took Yu Ruyan's hand and comforted: "Ru'er, no matter how you teach the emperor and let him cherish the people, as long as he is in that position, he can't help but be ruthless." From another point of view, if the emperor is incompetent, then haven't the people become the meat of other powerful countries? ”
"What you said also makes sense, I know that as an emperor, you must always have the right decision to kill." Yu Ruyan said, "But with hundreds of thousands of innocent people as stepping stones, and even harming neighboring countries, our emperor can really make such a determination." (To be continued.) )
