Chapter 268: Some people reunite outside the plug, and some people think otherwise
Chen Li was ordered to go to Rouran, not so much as by order, but by himself.
Originally, Chen Xian was going to let him follow General Xiaocai to the Northern Wei Dynasty, but he insisted on going to Rouran.
said that he had always been good friends with the little prince Tu of Rouran, and this time he was going to reminisce about the past, but Chen Xian also relied on Chen Li, and always regarded him as his own brother, so he complied with him.
When Chen Li arrived at Rouran, when he was in the gap between the river supervisors, he called the entourage around him to communicate with Tu Ye, and Tu Ye was naturally happy when he learned that Chen Li had come.
So under the pretext of supervising the work, he went to the embankment for a long time.
When two good friends reunite after a long absence, they naturally have nothing to say and talk happily with each other.
Martial arts together, horseback riding, drinking and chatting.
On the hillside, the two galloped to their heart's content.
When I was tired, I lay on the grass and looked at the blue sky.
Tu also looked at Chen Li and said, "Emperor Chen let you use his surname, which shows how much you are valued!" Unlike me, the queen mother always thinks I'm a child, afraid that I will do this, and won't let me do that, and my brother will look at me even more unpleasantly!"
"Your Majesty is naturally very kind to me, and the county lord, the two of them are like my relatives, no, they are my relatives! Tu Ye, don't be too pessimistic, after all, you are the prince of Rouran, the younger brother of King Rouran, born noble, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future!" Chen Li comforted Gu Zhuo.
"Having said that, my brother really doesn't like me, he keeps thinking about driving me elsewhere, I may be a thorn in his eye, a thorn in the flesh! I'm not as good as you!" Tu also said angrily.
"Then why don't you go back to Chen Country with me, you are my good brother, I will protect you, and when you arrive in Chen Kingdom, no one will dare to give you a face!" Chen Li said.
Tu also listened to Chen Li's words, and felt very moved, but also felt very funny.
Thinking that Chen Li was just a minor official in a new military camp, his tone was not small.
"I understand your kindness, I will not leave the queen mother, if I leave, the queen mother will be very anxious and sad!" Tu also said.
"Since the Queen Mother loves you so much, why did she let your brother be the king instead of you? In this way, you can also move freely, and you don't have to worry about it like this!" Chen Li also said to Tu.
Tu also heard this, and hurriedly stopped it and said: "Don't say that, if the person who called my brother hears it, then I have to go to the border!" Although the queen mother loves me, she made my brother king, that is the meaning of my father when he was dying, there is a will, and even the queen mother cannot disobey!"
Chen Li frowned and said, "In this way, the Queen Mother still wants you to be the king, I don't think you should give up so easily." There are many emperors who banned their elder brother in history! Didn't Hu Hai of the Qin Dynasty replace the crown prince Fusu? "
"But I'm not Hu Hai, I don't want to rebel, let alone my brother's rebellion!" Tu also said affirmatively.
Chen Li looked at the determined Tu Ye and continued: "Tu Ye, you are only fifteen years old now, in a few years, you are older, your brother will still have to embarrass you everywhere, if you lose the protection of the Queen Mother, what can you do?" If your brother kills you all, you'll regret it!"
Tu also listened to Chen Li's words, felt incredible, and felt that it was very likely to happen, and he didn't feel a little creepy.
"Kill them all? No way! I'm my brother's own brother after all!"
Chen Li saw that although the figure was also well-developed, he was very simple-minded, so he reminded him again and said: "Commoner's family, after my father died, my brothers still have to fight for the family property, not to mention that you are an emperor's family, is it possible that your brother will be merciful?" Think about it!"
After listening to the picture, I felt even more creepy. Although he was born tall and had thick limbs, he was a little timid and unafraid.
"That~ then what should I do?" Tu also asked busily.
"Of course, it's planning in secret! Before your brother starts with you, learn to 'cultivate the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark' to support and cultivate your cronies and people, if your brother does not let you go at that time, you can also give it a fight, and you have half the chance to succeed. It's better than sitting back and waiting to be killed!" Chen Li said.
"You're right! Thank you for your kindness, I'll think about it when I go back!"
"What else to consider about such a thing, the eldest husband should learn to make decisions on the spot. Now that you still have your mother to support you, and I am a good brother, if you and your brother really use a knife to 'fight', I will ask King Chen to send troops to support you!"
"Really? Will King Chen help me? "
"That's natural, think about it, your brother and our majesty are rivals in love and politics, and they are destined to be impossible to unite the front! This time, I came mainly for the people of the world, but if you become the king of Rouran, as long as you are in peace, your majesty will naturally be willing to make friends with you!"
Tu Ye was almost a person with no city and no strategy, but he was instigated by Chen Li like this and instigated his relationship with Gu Zhuo, and the two brothers have not been very harmonious, so they turned against him.
"You're right! I'll get my cronies up as soon as I can! If my brother really doesn't let me go, I'll fight with him!"
"Okay, I'm the first to support you!"
……
The task of cleaning up the river and repairing the river embankment for more than 40 days has been completed, and the soldiers of various countries will also return.
Under the joint calculation of the queen mother and the king, the inflow is slightly less than the out.
However, the construction period was completed long before the ice froze, and there was no more flooding from then on, so the benefits were far greater than the expenses.
In comparison, the little expenditure of countries to eat and drink Lazar is nothing.
This was not the case in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The soldiers of several countries ate, drank, prostituted and gambled in the Northern Wei Dynasty, not only dissipated the money and military salaries in their pockets, but also owed money to Yuwendi.
There are several books, so that the kings of several countries have no place to be ashamed.
Don't admit it, right? It is clearly written in other people's account books, and what their soldiers do is clear and clear, in black and white, how can they not admit it?
If you admit it, it is equivalent to losing your wife and breaking your soldiers, not only the soldiers are called in vain, but they also have to take a sum of money, there is really no such reason.
After discussions, the countries decided to return one-third of the account book to Yuwendi, and the rest was slowly paid off later, all on the grounds that the treasury was empty.
Yu Wendi knew in his heart that they would not pay off this lot of money, but a third, he didn't have any losses, he didn't care at all.
"Childe, we have received about 3,000 taels from various countries, and we still have 6,000 taels of losses!" Ding Fu said with a frown.
"Don't be too soft, you are so finely calculated, they helped us repair the river embankment and reduce a lot of losses, otherwise, our losses are far more than these six thousand taels! Besides, they didn't say they wouldn't pay it back, they owe us after all! We need help in the future, and we have their handle!" Yu Wendi said proudly while sipping tea.
Ding Fu smiled and said, "Childe is wise!"
"Xiao Zhong and his wife, do you often go to visit? Are they alright? Yu Wendi asked.
"Childe, don't worry, now that everyone in the world has died for their husband and wife, the kings of all countries can testify, and no one will look for them anymore!" Ding Fu said confidently.
"That's right, but I don't know why? I'm still a little unsure. Keep up with them, don't let anyone find them!" Yu Wendi commanded.
Above the Nanchen Dynasty.
Chen Xian and the ministers talked a lot about Yu Wendi's demand for money from various countries.
Mrs. Lu said unconvinced: "This Yu Wendi has really done his business to the extreme, first instigating our soldiers to eat and gamble for money, like a usury. It's completely wolf-hearted! According to the old minister, he shouldn't be given a tael of silver!"
Others led by Lu Taifu, such as the head of the household department and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, have expressed their attitudes one after another, and they are deeply acquitted of Yuwendi.
Zhu Yushi said in a round game: "All of you are thinking about the country, but after all, this is our soldiers who can't resist the temptation and ask for other people's money, if we are like iron roosters - a dime!" I'm afraid it will make people laugh off their big teeth! This one-third of the money is nothing, just to buy a lesson!"
Several of Zhu Yushi's younger protégés also followed.
Chen Xian said to the ministers: "Okay, after all, this matter is under the banner of building homes for the people affected by the disaster on both sides of the Yellow River and renovating the river embankment, and now we have what we want, and the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran have a very good impression of us and are very grateful to us." If we are worried about this money at this time, our previous efforts will be in vain! Isn't it just more than a thousand taels! Our treasury is still full, take it out!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Yuanxu also gave 1,000 taels to Yu Wendi, and said to the courtiers of the party, "This money should be regarded as a dedication to the Northern Wei Dynasty, after all, people have helped us before!"
The rest of the Khitan, Wusun, and Khitan also pooled together a thousand taels and reluctantly sent them to the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Inside the Bright Moon Building.
Xiao Mingyue couldn't help but laugh when she heard about Yu Wendi's business.
Then he exclaimed: "This Yu Wendi really shouldn't be a master, it's simply the reincarnation of Lu Buwei!" It's a shame that he came up with such a solution! Not only did he entertain the soldiers, but he also let them indulge themselves, and he didn't lose much!"
Amber handed over a cup of hot tea on the side and said, "But in this way, didn't Master Yuwen offend a few countries?"
"He offended the kings of several countries, but he befriended the soldiers sent by several countries! Give them good food and drink, these more than 40 days, although they are a little bitter and tired, but they are better than in the barracks. Xiao Mingyue said.
"Listening to Chun'an, His Majesty sent someone to send more than 1,000 taels to the Northern Wei Dynasty!" Amber said.
"Even if we send two thousand taels, we won't lose anything! These days, the soldiers' food, drink, and Lazar, in addition to their military salaries, should also be this money!"
"That's right, the soldiers are living very comfortably, Yuwen Taishi has not lost anything, His Majesty has also gained a good reputation, and the people are no longer threatened by floods! It's a great thing to kill four birds with one stone!" Amber said with a grin.
