Forty-four: The depressed Bai Shinian
Xia Ying walked in and handed Wen Wan a letter: "County Lord, the general's letterChinese||"
Wen Wan read Bai Shinian's letter and pondered. Xia Ying retreated with a very eye-catching look. She knows her position, so she usually quits when she sees Wen Wan thinking about it. When there were only two people left in the room, Wen Wan showed Bai Shinian's letter to Xia Yao.
After Xia Yao read the letter, her face was also puzzled: "County Lord, since everything is ready." Why didn't the emperor allow the general? Bai Shinian asked Wen Wan for help in the letter. Xiao Wenwan can inquire why the emperor did not allow him to send troops to fight against the Tartars.
Wen Wan also fell into thought. But he couldn't figure it out for a long time: "Xia Yao, why do you think the emperor's uncle didn't agree to Bai Shinian's troops?" β
Xia Yao shook her head: "I don't know." β
Well, Wen Wan was also stumped. She really doesn't understand military affairs, and over the years, the emperor has asked her a lot about government affairs, and many of them have corrected a lot of shortcomings with gentle suggestions as a reference. But for military affairs, the emperor also asked at first, but Wen Wan didn't know about military affairs, and Wen Wan wouldn't give advice without accurate cognition, and then the emperor didn't ask again. Therefore, Wen Wan has a dark eye on military affairs and doesn't know anything.
Xia Yao thought for a long time and said, "County Lord, the emperor wants to defeat the Manchu Tartars more than anyone else. The emperor didn't respond, he probably thought the time was not ripe. β
Wen Wan nodded. The emperor has always wanted to be a Ming monarch and has been famous for thousands of years, and because of this, he will work so hard to deal with the government day and night. Therefore, the emperor did not respond to Bai Shinian. It should be that the time has not come. Thinking of this, Wen Wan also let go. I wasn't ready to ask the emperor. Military affairs, the emperor is willing to talk to her, and Wen Wan listens. Don't say, she doesn't ask.
Xia Yao saw that Wen Wan let go of this matter, and said with a smile: "County Lord, along with the general's letter, there is also a letter from Ye Xun. I'll hand it over to Xia Xian later. β
Wen Wan nodded and smiledβ‘ since Wen Wan talked to Xia Xian two years ago, Xia Xian was not so repulsive. Although not very positive either. Not proactive. But Xia Xian will read the letter, which is at least a good sign.
Wen Wan came out of the hot spring after soaking, and Xia Ying told Wen Wan that Song Luoyang had just arrived at the hot spring Zhuangzi. Will come to her tomorrow.
Song Luoyang is now older, Wen Wan specially found a place with a spring and built a courtyard for Song Luoyang, so that Song Luoyang can take refuge here every winter. [Feitian Chinese] soaking on Zhuangzi in winter is good for his health. Song Luoyang's β words to Wen Wan are usually heard because he has an old friend who is sick and hurries back.
Wen Wan thought that every time Song Luoyang came, she would have a big head. Wen Wan said with a bitter face: "Do you think I belong to someone who has nothing to do?" It took Song Luoyang a year to complete β the book "Journey to the West", which became popular. Although the author is Wu Chengen, no one knows Wu Chengen, but Song Luoyang, who β the book, is a great Confucian who everyone knows in the Great Qi Dynasty. So, he came to visit the people who asked to see him, and scared Song Luoyang into hiding in the Wenwan Mansion for half a month.
It's not that Song Luoyang is timid, it's that these people are too fierce, β and some people, including Song Luoyang's friends, all complained that Song Luoyang was not interesting enough, and they didn't tell them about the book. Only Wen Wan here can make him have a quiet.
Song Luoyang is older, and he is a gentle gentleman, and no one will say anything about β living in the mansion, and he has lived for more than a month. Song Luoyang lived in the county lord's mansion, and the unlucky thing was Wen Wan. Every day you have to be criticized. Let Wen Wan be miserable.
Just when Wen Wan and Song Luoyang thought that the matter was over, but they didn't want to be adapted into a play by Prince Hao because of Journey to the West, as soon as this play came out, it immediately swept the entire capital. Everywhere in the streets and alleys, you can see children holding a stick, saying that this is Sun Wukong's wishful golden hoop stick.
Originally, the popularity of Journey to the West had nothing to do with gentleness. Anyway, there was no news that it was Wen Wan who told the story. But because of this incident, Song Luoyang strongly asked Wen Wan to record the story for the child. Then it's up to him to polish the pen. Digest the ability to compile more and better books -- Wen Wan is now very afraid of seeing Song Luoyang. Wen Wan regretted that she just wanted to accomplish one thing, but she ended up with so many things.
Song Luoyang came over early the next morning, and Wen Wan was still boxing. Seeing Song Luoyang's eagerness, Wen Wan really wanted to slip away! Why don't they want her to be at peace so much!
Song Luoyang talked with Wen Wan for a long time, and after finishing, he repeated the sigh I don't know how many times: "Wen Wan, you are such a waste." "The teacher and student work together happily. The gentle storytelling is first-class, and Song Luoyang's writing is a book that few people can compare β. All are very popular.
When Song Luoyang and Wen Wan were having breakfast with the three children, when they saw Ming Jin dining, their brows were so furrowed that they could kill several flies. After the child left, Song Luoyang said that Wen Wan was too spoiled by the child.
Wen Wan had nowhere to say it: "I don't want to either." But this kid, I'm thinking about it now! Wen Wan is going to learn from other people to see if there is a way to change Ming Jin's problem. It's so unsettling.
Song Luoyang said with a smile: "This kid is in the midst of blessings and does not know blessings. You threw him into the village and suffered for two days. Look he's still a picky eater. Song Jike was ground honest by him.
Wen Wan's eyes lit up, indeed! Let this kid suffer. By the way, I also took my children to experience rural life. Wen Wan thought it was useful.
Wen Wan ordered to go down, let people deliver a letter, and pack up the house of Shili Zhuangzi. She hadn't been there in years. It will take a few days to clean up the house.
The emperor knew that Wen Wan intended to take the child to the grange, and was a little surprised: "What's the matter?" What do you do when you take your children to the Grange? β
Wen Wan sighed slightly: "I want Ming Jin to know that a meal and a dish are not easy to come by." Maybe this kid won't be such a picky eater anymore. β
The emperor smiled and looked at Wen Wan, for the sake of the two children Wen Wan can be regarded as painstaking, the previous enlightenment book, and the later story collection. Not to mention that Wen Wan did everything herself, just because the emperor felt hard when he listened to Xia Ying's report.
Wen Wan saw the emperor and said that she was hard, and looked at the emperor: "This is a mother and a father, can it not be hard." When Bai Shinian comes back, I won't have to work hard. "When Bai Shinian came back, the two sons were handed over to Bai Shinian. She just didn't care anymore. It also made her feel comfortable for a few days.
When the emperor heard Wen Wan mention Bai Shinian, he didn't respond to Wen Wan's words. Just looking at her. Wen Wan asked strangely, "Uncle Emperor, is there something dirty on my face?" After saying that, he quickly asked someone to take the mirror. Wen Wan looked in the mirror, clean and beautiful (look at this narcissism).
The emperor thought that Wen Wan would help Bai Shinian to ask: "I thought you asked me why I didn't let Bai Shinian send troops?" "Bai Shinian, this is already the third fold.
Wen Wan looked at the emperor like a monster: "I told the emperor's uncle a long time ago that I am not familiar with military affairs. Since the emperor's uncle didn't respond, it must be that the time is not ripe. I'm a layman, so I won't ask nonsense. "It's not terrible if you don't understand, but it's terrible to pretend to understand if you don't understand.
The Emperor nodded, indicating that the time was indeed not right.
Wen Wan's face was cold: "Uncle Emperor, since the time has not come, why is Bai Shinian so eager to send troops?" Is inadequate preparation a taboo? You didn't give a holy decree to rebuke him? "Bai Shinian is doing something. It won't be because of the eagerness to return to Beijing, so it has lost its proportion. After thinking about it, Wen Wan shook her head again, probably not. There are more than 200,000 soldiers at the border, and Bai Shinian will not take their names as a child's play. And Ye Xun and the others around him won't look at it.
The emperor smiled and said, "It's not that the war ahead is insufficient. It's ......" Speaking of this, the emperor sold a pass: "Guess what? β
Wen Wan's face was full of black lines, when did the emperor have β a bad taste and no brains, let her guess, she guessed so. Wen Wan said angrily: "If you want me to guess, I have to give some hints." β
The emperor smiled and said, "The hint is that it has a lot to do with you. Well, this matter is in your ears and cannot be passed on to another person. Including Bai Shinian. Because Wen Wan's mouth has always been tight, the emperor did not hide it.
Wen Wan was confused, it had something to do with her, what did it have to do with her. When I went back, I still didn't know how to figure it out after thinking about it for a long time in the carriage. Because of the emperor's words, he didn't dare to discuss with Xia Yao and Xia Yingβ After thinking about it, Wen Wan had a headache, and he didn't think about it, so he had to die more brain cells.
Bai Shinian, who was gently nagged, was also depressed! His sons are all six years old, and he has never seen them. It's not that he hasn't had a break with the emperor and wants to go home to visit his relatives. He is not afraid of hard work, he is not afraid of running, just to go back to see his wife and children. It's a pity that the emperor didn't even approve it.
That's it. After all, he's the head now, and he can't just walk away. However, Bai Shinian proposed a detailed combat obstacle and wanted to send troops to attack the Manchu Qing, but the emperor vetoed it.
In the past two years, the fighting in the border city has become more and more intense. Because of the lock-up policy, the Manchus were short of materials, and the plundering was even more serious. Bai Shinian hoarded heavy troops in places where the Manchus often appeared to plunder. In fact, with the current national strength of Daqi, it is completely possible to fight a war, that is to say, it is completely no problem for the army to go on an expedition. Bai Shinian couldn't figure out why the emperor didn't let the troops be sent. Even Ye Xun didn't know what the emperor was thinking. It is said that if you can send troops now, even if you can't destroy the Manchus, you can drive them to the depths of the desert.
After Bai Shinian's battle plan was beaten back again, Bai Shinian was a little irritable: "Strategist, what do you think the emperor thinks?" Now that the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, the grain and grass are sufficient, why does the emperor not agree? Bai Shinian scratched his head and didn't understand the battle plan From last year to this year, he has been on the ground three times to improve it, but every time the emperor is not safe. Where is it 100% safe to fight, Bai Shinian really wants to ask the emperor.
Ye Xun couldn't figure it out.
