It's getting cooler at night.

The night breeze sent cold, penetrated through the thin cracks of the window, and invaded the body, making Liu Chengyou tremble twice, and couldn't help but tighten the mink fur on his body.

Putting down the military newspaper in his hand, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but rub his eyes, and raised his eyes to notice the slightly flickering candle flame. The red candle was about to end, the light was dim, and the eyebrows were slightly hooked, and Liu Chengyou called: "Someone." ”

"Official."

"Add a new candle!"

"Yes!"

Vaguely, Liu Chengyou seemed to hear the voice of the little eunuch being reprimanded by the steward, so he had no eyesight, and he had to be ordered by the official himself.

After changing the new candle, the front of the imperial case really brightened up a lot, and the vision was much clearer, and the military report fell into the hand again. This battle report from Feng Xiang has been read by Liu Chengyou no less than five times this night. He was really happy that he had won such a great victory in his first foreign war since he ascended the throne.

Since last winter, the Shu army went north, until the battle of Jifeng Mountain, the Shu army mobilized a total of more than 60,000 troops before and after, and the grain and equipment were innumerable, and the result was more than half. Among them, there are a large number of Later Shu forbidden troops. Li Tingqi led the Fengluan Guard, and fled too quickly in Xiegu Town, and the loss was not serious. The two armies of Wei Sheng and Kuang Sheng, which were mobilized by Zhang Qianzhao, suffered heavy losses, and the two armies of Wei Sheng and Kuang Sheng were the main forces of the Shu forbidden army, and Meng Zhixiang had been an army since the beginning of Shu's construction.

Although Shu has a forbidden army of tens of thousands, but after this battle, it can be regarded as a broken muscle, that is, the two Sichuan are blessed with unique geographical advantages and can resist foreign invasion, and the Han army will not continue to do so, otherwise it can hit Xingyuan Mansion. Even so, Sanguan, an important gateway to Sichuan and Shaanxi, was lost.

And Liu Chengyou carefully inspected the battle report, but he couldn't help but feel a little afraid. Although Wang Jun did not elaborate on the strategy, calculations and battlefield situation before and after the battle, Liu Chengyou, who had some military vision, could also perceive the risks in the process. If you are a little careless, it will be a loss of the whole game, and the defeat of the army is not terrible, if the loss of Fengxiang will affect the safety of the entire Guanzhong, it will be fatal.

Wang Jun's courage surprised Liu Chengyou for the first time. If he were to lead the troops in person, he would definitely look for another opportunity on the basis of defending Baoji, and he would never be like him, taking risks and forcing the enemy to force himself, leaving almost no room for it. Since that earth-shattering adventure in Luancheng last year, Liu Chengyou has secretly determined that he will never take risks again. After all, if you always stand by the river, there will be a day when your shoes will be wet.

Of course, the risks are often proportional to the benefits, and the Jifeng Mountain broke the Shu army, which can basically be declared that the northwest of the Han Dynasty can temporarily eliminate external troubles. If the Shu army wants to go north again, I am afraid that it will have to be weighed, and even worry about whether the Han army will take the opportunity to counterattack Qin Feng and become four states.

At this point, Wang Jun's ambition is obviously agitated, and some of them are floating, and it is mentioned in the report that he has the intention to mobilize troops, but he does not dare to be self-conscious, so he asks the court.

In this regard, not to mention Liu Chengyou, when he went to the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall, he was basically vetoed back. The Shu army has been beaten back, and the safety of the side has been guaranteed, but the enemy has been defeated all the way, and the goal of the imperial court has been achieved, how can it start the war lightly.

At this time, recuperation, development of cultivation and weaving, and hard work are the first things of the Han Dynasty. Because of this war, Liu Chengyou, the position of the emperor, is temporarily secure! For an aspiring heir like Liu Chengyou, his ass sat firm, and he immediately wanted to make trouble.

Right now, in front of Liu Chengyou, the most urgent problems are the only two, the court and the forbidden army. The court has been stabilized for the time being, and it has to be placed behind, and the reform of the forbidden army is only the beginning.

In today's Han Forbidden Army, among the senior generals, there are too many veterans who have no virtue or ability, and there are too few generals who directly obey him, the son of heaven, and the quality of the soldiers is uneven, and it is difficult for capable middle and lower-level officers to be promoted.

Liu Chengyou's desire for reform is very strong, but his mind is also very clear, and this matter cannot be rushed. If you are in a hurry, it is easy to make trouble, and the army is the place where you can't make trouble.

And, if he wants to reform the forbidden army, he is still one better chance. Thoughts continued in his mind, and Liu Chengyou's eyes couldn't help but fall on the other two official documents placed on the desk. A letter, a secret recital sent by Wang Jun to present an explanation.

"Official, the queen is here." The voice of the attendant slightly interrupted Liu Chengyou's thoughts.

Hearing this, he was not angry, Liu Chengyou cleaned up the slightly gloomy expression on his face and said, "Xuan." ”

Soon, accompanied by the two Gong E, Da Fu walked into the hall with elegant steps, Gong E carried a food box in her hand, obviously, this is to send supper to Liu Chengyou.

Liu Chengyou stood up to greet him, and said in a gentle tone: "The queen is here." ”

"Official." Dafu smiled gently at Liu Chengyou: "I don't know if it disturbs the official family?" ”

Waving his hand and inviting him to sit beside him, Liu Chengyou touched his stomach: "I am hungry in my belly, and the queen has a heart." ”

Glanced at the food taken out of the food box, like soup and soup, the main ingredient is filamentous, its color is crystal clear, covered with some minced meat, condiments, fragrant, very appetizing. Liu Chengyou pointed to the filaments and asked curiously, "This seems to be made of shredded fish?" ”

"The official has good eyesight." Dafu's praise was not flattering, and explained to Liu Chengyou: "This dish is called Crystal Chest, which is made by taking fish and meat and cutting them into shreds and cooking, and this dish is a famous dish in Tokyo." ”

"Oh?" Liu Chengyou was a little surprised, Tokyo folk dishes have been refined to this extent? Showing some interest, he said, "Then I want to taste what the people of Tokyo eat......

In fact, Liu Chengyou knows in his heart that this dish may be spread in the market, but there are probably not many people who can afford it. In the context of the whole country falling into hunger, it is not easy to get a full stomach, except for those high-ranking officials and nobles, how many people will be so particular about eating.

However, looking at Dafu's kind face, Liu Chengyou couldn't help it, and didn't make that nameless anger, bad mood. First tried by the eunuch, there was no abnormality, Liu Chengyou took the small bowl and spoon, scooped and ate.

Seeing Liu Chengyou gobbling up, he didn't care about the image of the Son of Heaven. Da Fu's beautiful eyes flashed with a little soft light, with a little funny smile, but she couldn't help but ask: "What do you think of the official, what does it taste?" ”

"The taste is tender, soft and refreshing, good. Confucius Yun, don't get tired of eating, don't get tired of fine, that's probably the case. Liu Chengyou picked up the silk scarf and wiped his mouth.

After thinking about it, I still couldn't help it, and mentioned it casually: "Now it is in the season of green and yellow, and the country has little grain storage, and the people of the Han Dynasty are hungry and hungry. Facing up and down, when frugality is the first. I am the head of the country, and I should be an example, but I don't have to be so meticulous when it comes to eating......"

Liu Chengyou said that it was not very obscure, Dafu was a smart woman, her face was dark, but she quickly regained her composure, and sprinkled Liu Chengyou's clear eyes, revealing a trace of respect, and said generously: "The heart of the official, I understand." ”

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou showed a stiff smile at Dafu, probably afraid that his laughter would scare her, so he reached out and grabbed her hand and rubbed it gently to show his favor. This is almost, the limit of Liu Chengyou's tenderness, and Dafu obviously feels it.

In addition, the queen's hands are really soft, and more importantly, the warmth in the palm of her hand is also easy to hook Liu Chengyou's heart.

Shaking his head and suppressing the thoughts that flooded his mind, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but rub his eyes and took a deep breath.

Ordered someone to remove the food box, and seeing Liu Chengyou's tired face, Da Fu straightened up and knelt on the side of Liu Chengyou's seat, and reached out to knead the acupuncture points on his head for him: "The official family is diligent, and you also need to pay attention to your body." ”

Obviously, he has never done the work of serving people, and the craftsmanship of the Fu family is very poor, far worse than the Geng family. However, Liu Chengyou also enjoys this feeling of respect between husband and wife.

"The toil of today is the comfort of the future." Liu Chengyou closed his eyes and sighed.

Seeing this, Dafu couldn't help asking: "During this time, the official family was sad about the war in Guan. I heard that the imperial court won the battle in Fengxiang and defeated the invading enemy, and the west has been settled, why are the officials still so worried. ”

"The external troubles are temporarily eliminated, but the internal worries are still there." Liu Chengyou said.

After that, Liu Chengyou opened his eyes, picked up one of the letters from the imperial case, and handed it to her: "Look at it! ”

Da Fu shook his head, although there was some curiosity in his eyes, he still guarded the woman's way and said that he didn't dare. Although the Han Dynasty did not explicitly stipulate that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, a really smart woman would never easily touch that line.

"It's okay, I'll show you."

At Liu Chengyou's instructions, Da Fu hesitated slightly, and Yu Guang glanced at Liu Chengyou carefully, took it, and browsed. Just seeing that he looked up, he reacted, his beautiful eyes frowned, his tender lips opened slightly, and he said suspiciously: "How dare he do this?" ”
