Chapter 120: The Picture Scroll
Several people are indeed talented people, and they have all achieved good rankings in the scientific examination, and Wang Yuan has even done flower exploration.
Wang Shouming's eyes were uncertain, and he didn't say a word.
When Wang Yuan saw his silent appearance, he felt that he had taken refuge in the chaotic ministers and thieves for the sake of fame and fortune, and his eyes were red at that time, "Okay!" Just when I have looked away for so many years, you Wang Shouming looked dignified, in fact, he was just a small man, our love will be broken here! ”
After speaking, Wang Yuan looked at Wang Shouming's still unmoved appearance, and his heart was even more angry, so he turned his head and walked away.
That day, the Prime Minister's Mansion held a banquet, and once he went, he could never look back.
A few days later, when the imperial court assigned errands to the courtiers, under the intention of the prime minister, Wang Yuan's people were either assigned idle posts with very low status in the court, or they were directly assigned to those far and difficult places.
However, Wang Shouming entered the Hanlin Academy, and won the trust of Cheng.
But these Yunsha people have no time to care, because their time has already come.
The emperor said that he was sick in the palace, and the prime minister personally came to see Cen Zhaohou and his party on the expedition.
Cen Zhaohou stood on the tall horse, holding the reins in his hand, and listened to Cheng say those encouraging words to the army.
When it was over, the prime minister walked up to him and whispered to him: "When the general returns, it will be the day to do it." ”
Cen Zhaohou's body stiffened, and after saying yes, he rushed out with an army of 200,000.
Yun Sha and his party rode horses and walked in the middle of the procession.
Because Jiang Yuebai couldn't ride a horse, he rode with Jiang Yanyue.
In this way, several people rushed to the outside of the plug day and night.
The sergeants were encamped in the same place, and in the main tent, Cen Zhaohou and a kind of soldiers were discussing the military situation.
The local people told them that the people of the Burning Sun Country did not come to harass them every day, but only went to the side from time to time to grab something, as if provoking.
A soldier wondered: "Now that this Burning Sun Kingdom is gradually growing, those people don't look like they can't afford to eat, how can they come to rob our people?" ”
Cen Zhaohou pondered for a while and asked, "What will happen to the soldiers stationed in the original Saiyuan here after they come to rob the Scorching Sun Country?" Will you go and arrest those people? ”
The man said: "No, we were originally stationed here by Bao Xiang, and he won't care about the life or death of our people, as long as the Qingcheng is not broken, he won't care." ”
Cen Zhaohou nodded, this side was very loose when Bao Xianglu was in charge, and after such a long time, the people of the Scorching Sun Country were even more unscrupulous.
Cen Zhaohou said: "Then did the Scorching Sun Kingdom do anything today?" ”
The soldier who was originally in charge of defending the city said: "The people of the Scorching Sun Kingdom are camping at their borders, and I am afraid that they are thinking of attacking the city." ”
When Yun Sha heard this, he wondered: "Why didn't this Scorching Sun Kingdom attack the city before the army came, but now that the army is settled, won't it be difficult for him to attack the city again?" ”
The man replied: "The Burning Sun Kingdom has long wanted to attack the city, but Narmu's mother died a few days ago, and Narmu Grapes is extremely sad, so he has been holding his troops still. ”
Yun Sha nodded and looked at Cen Zhaohou.
Cen Zhaohou said that he would let the soldiers go back to their tents to rest, and the next day they would start training according to their daily training, and the rest would wait for his instructions.
After the soldiers in the tent had left, Yun Sha asked, "Why did you let those soldiers rest?" Shouldn't we hurry up and make a battle plan so that those people from the Scorching Sun Country will not be able to return by then? ”
Cen Zhaohou sat down on the chair by himself, drank a cup of tea slowly, and said, "In my opinion, the Scorching Sun Kingdom doesn't really want to go to war at all. ”
Seeing Yun Sha's puzzled eyes, Cen Zhaohou continued: "If the Scorching Sun Kingdom really had the strength and mood to go to war, he would have already led a large army to attack it, how could it be that he just let people come over and rob it from time to time, and the army at their border was not stationed for the siege of the city, but for fear that we would attack the past." ”
Yun Xuan was surprised, and said, "Then why did you keep telling the prime minister how ambitious this Scorching Sun Kingdom was when you were in Beijing, and he said that he would immediately let you come to quell the chaos?" ”
Cen Zhaohou said: "With the prime minister's wolf ambition, if I don't deliberately create an appearance of serious external troubles in the court, he will definitely be prepared to provoke civil strife, and the emperor's power is small at that time, won't the whole world fall into his hands?" ”
Yun Sha nodded a little incomprehensibly this time, "Then we won't do anything here?" ”
Cen Zhaohou said: "Naturally not, we came here to quell the chaos, although the Burning Sun Kingdom did not want to attack the imperial court, but they have long coveted the wealth of the imperial court, they are only a much smaller country than the imperial court in the final analysis, the domestic economy is underdeveloped, mainly nomadic as the main living conditions, they do not have our side of the silk porcelain and the like, the domestic production level is underground, from time to time want to get some oil and water from our side." ”
Yun Sha asked, "Then how to solve it?" Do you want to send them something from time to time in the future? ”
Cen Zhaohou shook his head with a smile, "How come, after all, our imperial court is not afraid of them." I want to follow the example of the ancients to build a mutual market here, they can use their beef and mutton to exchange some goods or money with us, but the people who come must abide by the rules of our court, and when their requirements are met, they will naturally not come to harass us, we are signing a contract with Narmu grapes, so that they can show that they will not invade the court again, and we can take this contract to return to the court. ”
Yun nodded dumbly, although she was smart, she didn't know anything about these officialdom things.
Cen Zhaohou suddenly thought of something, and said: "My spy said that Si Yingxi is very likely to be in the border area of the Scorching Sun Country, you have to be very careful, usually if you want to go out to walk around this city, you must bring enough guards." ”
Yun Xuan nodded, thinking of Si Xuanxi, a dark color flashed in her eyes, she was going to slash him one day!
During the dinner in the evening, Cen Zhaohou told Jiang Yanyue and Jiang Yuebai about their plan, and the two were very happy to hear that there was no need to fight.
Jiang Yanyue asked, "Yunsha, would you like to go with us to the place where your uncle once lived?" ”
Yun Sha had a good impression of this uncle he had never met, and he was also full of curiosity about this rapidly developing Scorching Sun Country, so he agreed immediately.
The next day, Yun Sha and Jiang Yanyue and their entourage went to the Burning Sun Kingdom with two guards, but Cen Zhaohou stayed behind to investigate the affairs of Xiaqingcheng.
The Scorching Sun Country was very close to Qingcheng, and it didn't take long for a few people to reach the border of the Scorching Sun Country.
When they arrived at the city gate, Jiang Yanyue took out the documents and showed them to the soldiers guarding the city, and the soldiers happily let them into the city.
After Yun Yi fled to the Scorching Sun Country, he settled his home in a small city not far from the border of the Scorching Sun Country, Luocheng, where the people are very simple, and when they see Jiang Yanyue, they will greet him: "Dr. Jiang is back." ”
Yun Sha was very curious and asked, "Do all the people in this city know you?" ”
Jiang Yanyue said with a smile: "My father has always treated the people in this city, and I also studied medicine in this city after I studied medicine, and there are many people in this city who have escaped from other places, so naturally they will not have any prejudice against my father.
Yun Xu looked at the scene on the side of the surrounding streets curiously, although this city is not as prosperous as the capital, there are very few vendors on both sides of the street, and most of the people's clothes are simple, but it can be seen that these people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people's clothes are at least decent.
As they walked together, no one was curious about Yun Sha, a woman whose face and physique did not look like that of the Burning Sun Country, but some little girls passing by praised her as a beautiful sister, which made Yun Sha shy.
Jiang Yuebai hugged the big ash, and some of the aunts and uncles who passed by handed him an apple or something from time to time, Jiang Yuebai accepted it, and smiled sweetly in return.
Yun Sha opened his mouth and said, "The people of this fallen city are very warm and friendly. ”
Jiang Yanyue nodded, and said, "Everyone lives on their own skills, even if there are any conflicts in daily life, the city lord will quickly give convincing results, many of the older generation have escaped from the war, and naturally they understand how hard-won this comfortable life is, and naturally they will not let their juniors stir up trouble." ”
Luocheng was very small, and after a while, they arrived at the Yun family.
The Yun family is not big, but the things inside are very neat, not at all like a home without a hostess all year round, and there is a faint herbal fragrance in the house.
There is also a small courtyard at the back of the house, where vegetables and herbs are grown, but Jiang Yanyue and they have not been at home for a long time, and the small courtyard is uncared for and is already overgrown with weeds.
Jiang Yanyue took Yun Sha to the study, looked in the cabinet again, and took out a picture scroll.
Yun Sha watched the scroll slowly open, and couldn't help covering his mouth, his eyes instantly turned red.
The people in the painting are her father and mother, as well as Yunyi and Jiang Yanyue's mother.
The four of them were sitting in a big tent, holding milk tea in their hands, looking very happy.
Jiang Yanyue said: "My father is good at Danqing, he sometimes paints alone in the study for a long time, ask him, he doesn't say, until he died when he told me about Yuebai and your mother, I guessed that he painted maybe the life of the four of them in Tusaig before." ”
Jiang Yanyue took out a stack of picture scrolls again, Yun Xia flipped over one by one, and saw that Yun Yi was a very gentle man, every painting he painted, the people in the painting were laughing, there were paintings of the four of them, and there were also a lot of Yun Ye's, but it was rare to see Jiang Yanyue's mother, only one, it was the back of a riverside woman, and the painting especially focused on the bright moon, but there was no other painting.
Jiang Yanyue also saw the painting, and also thought of the woman who was still thinking about hurting Jiang Yuebai until the end, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
Yun Sha put away the scroll and thanked Jiang Yanyue.
