Chapter 54: Flying Mist and Smoke Jiang Ziyan
"Huh? Sister knows Wang Yan? ”
"Who doesn't know about snow-appreciating horses?" Xu Shunhua said with a little disgust: "This person has a poor character, he can't govern his family at the top, and he can't make a career at the bottom, so you don't have anything to do with him." Hmph, don't want a good princess Shi'an, she likes men, no wonder Shi'an stole a man and stole it from his brother! ”
This one...... Sister, are you not right? The male style is prevalent in the world, but the chaotic wheel is not......
Xu You said with a hippie smile: "I accepted his favor when I was isolated in Jinling before, so I can't refuse." If Sister wants Jiang Zi to say that it doesn't matter, why don't you give him to me......"
"The general of the second grade, there is no majesty, how can you lead the troops when you go out? Who will obey you? Xu Shunhua nodded his forehead and said angrily: "I just heard the old man in the palace mention Jiang Ziyan, saying that he looks like a heavenly immortal, and he is three points more beautiful than Cui Yuanjiang and Feng Zhong'er of Qinhuaihe, which can not only make Wang Yan's favorite death and life, but also make An Xiuming, a bad man, also happy, and even let Yudao Zhen's demon Dao also recommend himself to the pillow, so I was curious to see how handsome this beautiful Jiang Langjun was, and ordered someone to quietly lift him out of Tingwei Prison, and then pretended to be a little eunuch and brought him into Taicheng...... Come on! She clapped her hands, and the palace maid bowed and retreated, then glanced at Xu You, and said, "I went to bed early last night, and before I could see you, the soul-hypnotizing person, came." Wait a minute, let's take a look, and when my sister's curiosity is solved, someone will hand it over to you to take away! ”
"Thank you, Sister!"
The two were gossiping, and the palace maid who had just gone out walked in with a person, he was wearing a light blue robe, no hair tied, and his body was long, especially the facial features were as delicate as Danqing's wonderful hands carved over the years, his temperament was feminine and indifferent, the corners of his lips seemed to be often smiling, and his eyes were painted like ink.
Xu You is used to seeing beautiful men, but when he saw Jiang Ziyan, he was secretly surprised in his heart, and couldn't help but think of how Wang Yan described his beloved, the so-called "gorgeous appearance, delicate and white, mantis hair, natural eyebrows", these sixteen characters exhaust a certain aesthetic level that a man can achieve.
He is different from Gu Yun, although Gu Yun is beautiful, his eyebrows are in the sideburns, his eyes are clear, he is still a normal man, he is not so bewitching and troublesome without beauty, he is not a woman, he is better than a woman.
No wonder Wang Yan never forgets it, no wonder An Xiuming snatches love with a knife, and no wonder Yudao really allows him to coexist......
"You...... Come close! Yes, closer! ”
Xu Shunhua's voice was rarely a little gentle, Xu You turned his head strangely, only to see her staring at Jiang Ziyan blankly, leaning forward slightly, and the light that suddenly diverged from her pupils seemed to be able to drive away all the desolation in the deep palace.
Some people, from the first sight, are like the hands of the son, and they have spent 10,000 years happily!
Xu You lowered his head and calmly looked at the floor tiles in the palace. He understands that it is impossible to take Jiang Ziyan away today, and whether he can take it away in the future depends on Xu Shunhua's mood, and it must take a lot of effort.
But in any case, leaving such a man in the palace is to set himself on fire, even if the harem is like an iron bucket run by Xu Shunhua, after all, it can be hidden for a while, but it can't be hidden for a lifetime.
Xu You took a few steps back, bowed and saluted, and then walked out of the Lin Guang Palace, where the queen lived, and Xu Shunhua's eyes always fell on Jiang Ziyan, and he didn't notice his brother's departure at all.
As soon as he came out of the Lin Guang Palace, a eunuch hurriedly ran over, saw Xu You from a distance, and immediately smiled closely, and said: "Hussar general, hussar general, the lord invites the general to the west hall to discuss ......."
This person is the eunuch in charge of An Xiulin when he was in the Linchuan Palace, named Huang Yuan'er, who is only thirty years old, the most intimate and reliable, and is now the great Changqiu who leads the eunuchs in the palace. However, the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Dynasty are different, the eunuchs of the Northern Dynasty are many marquis worshipping the prime minister, leading the army to fight, holding important positions, which is an indispensable and important pole in the Zhengzhi ecology, but the eunuchs of the Southern Dynasty are only the domestic slaves of the royal family, serving daily life on weekdays, and can not be involved in confidential matters, many of the high-level inner court official positions held by eunuchs since the Eastern Han Dynasty have also merged with the outer court, and their power and status have fallen to the lowest point, such as Huang Yuan'er in front of him, who seems to have a high position in the inner court and is also favored, but if he offends Xu You, he says a word to the emperor to make things difficult for the foreign ministers, arrogant and unruly, If you want to emulate the Eastern Han Dynasty and get involved in political affairs, you will be executed immediately.
But Xu You doesn't leak, even if he is a small person, he is not easily offended, let alone Huang Yuaner? He arched his hand and said with a smile: "I'm tired of Changqiu!"
Huang Yuan'er had never met a second-grade important minister who was so polite to the eunuch, so she was flattered, bent her waist and folded it in half, and said: "The general has tormented the villain, please here!" ”
There are a lot of people in the West Palace, An Zishang, Zhu Li, Xie Xiwen, Tao Jiang, Di Xia, Tan Xiaozu, Zhang Huai, Gu Huaiming and others are all there, which is the backbone and core force of the new dynasty at present. Seeing Xu You, except for An Xiulin, everyone got up to greet him, and An Xiuming smiled: "Have you seen the queen?" ”
One of the advantages of relatives is that they can enter and leave the palace without being summoned by the emperor, Xu You smiled: "Yes, last night someone from the Weichen Mansion came to Jinling from Qiantang and brought a few bricks of green finch tongue, remembering that the queen has not tasted it yet, and specially sent it to the palace for the queen to try it." ”
"Okay, Shichiro, I only remember my sister in my heart, but I don't have my brother-in-law. Say, how should I punish you? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall had their own thoughts, Xie Xiwen's heart sank directly to the bottom of the Qinhuai River, An Xiulin's kindness to Xu You exceeded his expectations, and there was never a Son of Heaven who ridiculed his courtiers with his relatives when he was discussing in the court, which lost the majesty of the lord, but also confirmed Xu You's status in the emperor's heart from the side.
But Xu You is a relative, ranked as a second-rank hussar general, the founding county marquis, and the queen's support, and then get the emperor's unconditional trust, if he has other thoughts, no one in the government and the opposition will be able to check and balance.
This is not to suspect him, but Lao Chengmouguo's spell, in other words, to protect Xu You. No one has ever been born rebellious, only unchecked power is the easiest to mess up the rules of the monarch and the minister, and when it comes to a certain position, ambition will naturally swell, which has nothing to do with personality, but with the instinct of desire.
Xu You said with a bitter face: "I heard that Your Majesty has a ten-year Lansheng wine, and gave Weichen a few jars, and after drinking it, he suffered from that headache and wanted to be punished." ”
An Xiulin laughed heartily, pointed at Xu You, and said, "Qilang, Qilang...... Well, according to you! Huang Yuan, after waiting for the court meeting, send the hussar general ten altars of orchid wine. ”
Huang Yuan'er answered, knowing that there was going to be a discussion next, so she bowed out and closed the door. The hall was silent for a moment, and Xie Xiwen said: "General Xu came late, and we are discussing Yao Jin's surrender, and there are a lot of objections about whether to send troops......
Zhu Li said in a deep voice: "Is there a reason not to eat the fat meat sent to the door?" Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, is the land of the king, the Yao family has been lucky for decades, if it is now my lord, and then raise soldiers for ten years, it is enough to unify the north and south, and open up a peaceful and prosperous world. ”
Tao Jiang retorted: "General Fuguo may be mistaken, Yao Jin is on the table, he wants to form a brotherly state and return Liangzhou, not Natu." Although Guanzhong is good, but it is not Chudi, if we send troops, we can only help Yao Jin restore the country in accordance with the covenant, and the loss of troops will not be profitable, in my humble opinion, the gains outweigh the losses. ”
Zhu Li frowned and said: "With the meaning of servant shooting, you don't even want Liangzhou?" Reject Yao Jin? ”
"Not really!" Tao Jiang said with a smile: "Liangzhou was ceded by the culprit, and now that Your Majesty has ascended the throne, he will naturally not tolerate Xiliang Qiangdi occupying my prefecture and county of Dachu for a long time." You can invent a decree to tell Yao Jin that if you are willing to take the initiative to offer Liangzhou, you will not lose the title of duke, if you resist stubbornly, when the heavenly soldiers arrive, I am afraid that your life will not be guaranteed! ”
Zhu Li said coldly: "Yao Jin is the lord of a country, how can he be willing to suffer such humiliation?" If he left in a rage and took refuge in the Northern Wei Dynasty, do you guess that Yuan Yu, the lord of Wei, would take the opportunity to send troops to annex Xiliang? When the time comes, Tao Servant will be the sinner of Jiangdong's father! ”
Tao Jiang was unmoved, and said: "The general also knows that Suo Lu is watching from the side, how can he sit back and watch Liangguo fall into our hands?" I'm only afraid that Tongguan will not be overcome, and the back road has been flooded by the iron hooves of the Wei army, and the Northern Expedition will be defeated again in the year of Yong'an! Who were the sinners at that time? ”
The two couldn't fight, Xie Xiwen turned his head and asked Gu Huaiming, "In the war, the war is about money and grain, and the soldiers are used against Xiliang, Gu Shangshu is in charge of the household department, is there enough grain and grass?" ”
Gu Huai is clearly talented, and after only a few days of being the head of the household department, he has a clear understanding of the country's foundation, and said: "I don't dare to say anything else, if the war situation is controlled within a year, and the number of soldiers, horses, carriages and ships used does not exceed 100,000, and the ministers guarantee it with heads, and the grain and grass can be guaranteed." ”
The state of Chu has not fought for many years, and An Zidao has governed the country very prosperously during his reign, and the grain depot and arsenal are full, as long as a stable logistics base is established in a strategic town, the waterways required for the transfer of grain and grass are unblocked, and the grain can be collected on the spot in Guanzhong, the problem should not be big.
Xie Xiwen said to Zhu Li: "There is enough grain and grass, but it only solves the first problem. The second problem, if Wei sends troops on a large scale, can the auxiliary generals have countermeasures? ”
Zhu Li is not good at warfare, and the reason why he supports sending troops is because of Zhu Zhi's request, but the experience of the last battle with the Wei army and the disastrous defeat shrouded the hearts of the Chu people and never dissipated, and he muttered when he heard the words: "The soldiers will come to block, and they will not be afraid of him?" ”
Xie Xiwen shook his head and said: "The major affairs of the country, in Rong are worshipping, whether you are afraid or not, you and I don't count, if you are not completely sure, rashly fight with the Wei State, the consequences are unpredictable!" It is better to stabilize Yao Jin first, let him return Liangzhou, the imperial court recognized him as the lord of Liangguo, and built a mansion for him in Jinling or Liangzhou, and used it as a chess piece to remotely control Yao Ji, who usurped the throne, we are left and right, and make profits from it, and when the time is ripe, it is not too late to seek Guanzhong! ”
There was a lot of discussion, and it was always inappropriate to talk about it, An Xiulin listened to it with a big head, and said to Xu You: "Qilang, why don't you say anything?" No matter what you think in your heart, you can only come through the channels, and the court discussion is to express your own opinions, and listen to them to make it clear! ”
Xu You's gaze swept over Xie Xiwen and Tao Jiang's faces, and Zhu Zhi made it clear in his secret letter to him that Xie and Tao were scholars who knew that they would definitely look forward and backward, and would not support the conquest of Xiliang now, so he must persuade An Xiulin to agree, otherwise, the century-old opportunity would be ruined.
"I'm still waiting for the report from the north......"
