Since King Rui left, Liu Tong's whole person has become more stable than before. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In other words, he is learning from King Rui step by step, and gradually changing towards the appearance of King Rui.

He learned from King Rui to talk and laugh with the people, learned from King Rui to argue with reason in the court on some matters that would not touch the fundamental interests of the prince, and learned from King Rui to calmly and prudently handle the errands entrusted to him.

He made a lot of friends among the people, and secretly interacted frequently with like-minded courtiers.

He became busier, and the time spent with her could barely be squeezed out.

The Nine Emperors' Mansion has gradually become a city from its former namelessness.

As the princess, Chang Runzhi is naturally busy, and he has to entertain the ladies of various mansions every once in a while.

In late spring, the reinforcements arrived at Yanbei Pass.

Seeing this situation, the army led by the king of Xianbei still did not retreat, and the lion opened his mouth widely, asking Dawei to cut the land and pay compensation.

When the news came, there was a lot of discussion in the capital of Great Wei.

The crown prince advocated peace, but King Qi did not express his position, and said tactfully according to his father's wishes.

Emperor Yuanwu couldn't make up his mind, so he consulted all his ministers about this matter, and the main battle and the people of the main peace were clearly distinguished.

The prince said that since Xianbei had plans to withdraw from the army, he needed to send another representative to Yanbei Pass to discuss the truce with the Xianbei people.

Emperor Yuanwu did not agree immediately, and he was also dissatisfied with the Xianbei people who started the war as they wanted, and the Great Wei army was tired of running back and forth.

Now that reinforcements have arrived, you might as well kill the arrogance of the Xianbei people first.

Emperor Yuanwu then suppressed the matter for the time being, thinking that he would wait for the next battle situation in Yanbei Pass to come before making a decision.

What followed was news of a stalemate between the two sides. The Great Wei army pressed the border and guarded Yanbei Pass. The Xianbei people were still stationed outside Yanbei Pass, eyeing the territory of the Great Wei in Yanbei Pass.

Emperor Wu of Yuan still did not rule on the matter.

When the climate was getting hotter, the news came from Yanbei Pass that General Zhongwu was seriously injured and was still being treated, and the Yanbei army decided to go out of Yanbei Pass to meet the Xianbei people.

The night he got the news, Liu Tong stayed up all night.

Chang Runzhi stood by the door with him.

"When I was a child, people were very stubborn, and I didn't want to tell anyone when I was wronged, and I didn't know what it was, so I felt that it was a shameful thing and I shouldn't tell others."

Liu Tong looked at the lantern hanging under the eaves, the lantern shimmered, and he smiled lightly: "Then one time, the palace just issued a case, and a palace person coaxed away the silver taels I just got in my hand, but it happened to be seen by the fifth brother." ”

Chang Runzhi said softly: "And then? ”

"Then the fifth brother intercepted the person and asked me if the palace people had cheated me out of my money." Liu Tong laughed: "I had a good face at that time, and I stalked my neck and said, the silver was not cheated by him, but I gave it to him, because I think money is something outside my body." ”

Chang Runzhi raised his chin unexpectedly.

"That's stupid, isn't it?" Liu Tong chuckled and said in a low voice: "But who is the fifth brother...... I couldn't hide the emotions on my face, and it was clearly written that I was lying, how could the fifth brother not know...... He had the palace man taken away, and returned the money to me, saying only one word. ”

Liu Tong said: "He said, Xiao Jiu, if someone else takes your things, even if you can't get them back, you can't give them away and make people look down on them." ”

He paused: "The fifth brother will not give up his future to others." ”

Chang Runzhi gently stroked his back and said softly: "Well, Rui Wangfu has a big life, and he will be fine." ”

Liu Tong smiled and took her hand.

"I know that the fifth brother will not lose his life so easily, if he dies so easily, then it is not the fifth brother I know......"

Liu Tongchang sighed: "I'm just thinking, tomorrow, maybe there will be another tough battle to be fought in the court." This time, the fifth brother was not there, leaving me alone to fight, and I ...... Can't lose. ”

Chang Runzhi rarely asks about the affairs of the court, but she believes that Liu Tong can handle it well.

Because Liu Tong knew that King Rui, who was far away in Yanbei Pass, was still waiting for him to stay in Beijing to pave the way for his future return.

How did he end up in this vital first battle?

On the second day, Liu Tong went up to court with a pair of puffy eyes.

Because King Rui was attacked at Yanbei Pass, the Yanbei army and Xianbei ended the stalemate and went to war, and the court quarreled endlessly.

One faction said that Xianbei deceived people too much, ignoring the prestige of the Great Wei State, since the war started, then the Xianbei people would not dare to attack again.

One faction says that harmony generates wealth, and the Great Wei is a big country, and such an invasion of the Xianbei territory is inevitably suspected of bullying the small.

Some people even said that the attack on King Rui was seriously injured was just a one-sided statement, and the facts have yet to be verified.

As soon as this statement was thrown out, the topic was a little crooked, and some ministers began to discuss how King Qirui supervised the Yanbei army after he arrived at Yanbei Pass.

The prince has always been suspicious, and he suddenly frowned, and he inevitably muttered in his heart.

Is Ruiwang really seriously injured? Could there be some conspiracy involved?

Emperor Yuanwu was troubled by the quarrels of his subordinate courtiers.

He shouted angrily and ordered a few old ministers to ask.

The old ministers are all human spirits, and at such a sensitive moment, they naturally will not give their own statements clearly and clearly, so they only mutter, and they are smooth and muddy.

Wenchen and the mud, the generals were much more simply: "It doesn't matter what the Xianbei people plan, whether the King of Rui is really seriously injured, anyway, it is a fact that Xianbei invaded my Great Wei, since they have beaten me, they see that my Great Wei is easy to bully, then fight back!" When the Xianbei people are convinced, won't this war stop! You civil servants, you know that you are crooked, and you can't say an accurate number for a long time. ”

The one who spoke out was General Jin, an old minister who only retained the position of general.

His voice was very loud, and when he shouted out, the entire hall suddenly died down and looked at him.

Old General Jin arched his hand to Emperor Yuanwu on the throne: "Your Majesty, let's let Dawei let it go again and again, and the heart of tolerance is gone." But what about the Xianbei people? When we are big Wei, it's easy to bully. If we retreat again and again, let foreign friends know, and say that our Great Wei is weak! According to the old minister's opinion, since the Yanbei army has already started a war against the Xianbei people, it is better to wait for the outcome of the war, and there is no need to think about anything else. ”

"Old General Kim." The crown prince couldn't help it, and stood up and said, "What your lords are thinking about is not unreasonable. If there was a war, it would not have happened, but the King of Rui created the reason for the war, then ......"

Old General Jin was stunned: "It was he Xianbei who deceived me in the first place, even if King Rui was seriously injured in the attack, it was fabricated, and he used this as an opportunity to use troops against Xianbei, so what?" It's called never getting tired of deceit! If this is the case, when this battle is over, His Majesty should praise King Rui for his resolute actions and good use of troops. ”

The crown prince was squeezed by General Jin's words, his face turned pale, his eyes were lowered, his breathing was heavy, and there was a hint of gloom in his eyes when he looked at General Jin.

Liu Tong lowered his head slightly, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth was slightly invisible.

Jin Lang, the grandson of General Jin, is now fighting with King Rui in Yanbei Pass. In a peaceful and prosperous era, how easy is it for military generals to make contributions? Jin Lang likes to train soldiers to fight, General Jin loves his grandson, and he is counting on Jin Lang to earn some military merits in the Yanbei Pass war!

The crown prince wants to block the way for General Jin to support his grandson, how can it be so easy. (To be continued.) )
