Chapter Twenty-Eight: People Have Joys and Sorrows
In the early days, the court was in an uproar.
"Everyone, Aiqing, can you discuss the result?" The emperor sat peacefully on the dragon chair, looked at the courtiers who were discussing fiercely below, and asked in a light tone.
The emperor had long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and although the chatter of their voices was really annoying, it was often possible to find a way to solve the problem after such a discussion.
Last night, Nanyao sent a letter, Chen Guo in the south attacked Nanyao, and the monarch asked Jing Zhao to send troops to support.
Nanyao is a small country in the south of Jingzhao, and has been friendly with Jingzhao for generations, paying tribute to Jingzhao according to the year, and the two countries have exchanged business travel. Many Nanyao people intermarried with Jingzhao people, and over time, Nanyao was assimilated by Jingzhao etiquette, and the language and etiquette were the same as Jingzhao.
Chen Guo attacked Nanyao this time, and the drunkard's intention was not to drink, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was for Jing Zhao.
In recent years, Chen Guo has carried out great reforms and reforms, and his national strength has become stronger and stronger, and the newly ascended monarch has emphasized military force over literature, vigorously developed military strength, and expanded many territories in recent years.
Chen Guo knew that Nan Yao was attached to Jing Zhao, and this attack on Nan Yao was obviously a provocation to Jing Zhao, and it seemed that the new monarch began to eyed Jing Zhao.
Jing Zhao will inevitably send troops to support, and this court meeting is to decide who to send to lead the army to support Nanyao.
A military attache spoke: "Weichen thinks that it is most appropriate to send General Li to Nanyao."
"Ahem, ahem...... Weichen occasionally felt cold today, unwell, Nanyao is low-lying, and the time is wet, which is not conducive to Weichen's condition, and the minister is afraid that it will be difficult to take on the big responsibility, and he also asks the emperor to choose someone else, cough cough. General Lee coughed as he spoke, and he looked really sick.
The emperor asked worriedly: "Aiqing is very relieved to go to court with her illness, but her health is important, Aiqing should recuperate at home."
Su Yuan hadn't spoken before, he thought about it, and after weighing it, he stood up and took the initiative to ask, "The minister is willing to go to Nanyao." β
The emperor finally smiled, the tiredness in his eyes faded, and he looked at Su Yuan with satisfaction and said: "General Zhenyuan has been working day and night, and it has only been less than a year since he returned from the front line to the dynasty and he has to go on an expedition, and it is really a blessing for my country to have such a good general as Su Aiqing!"
This was somewhat deliberately said to General Li, who coughed twice in embarrassment, pretending not to know what the emperor had to say,
Su Yuan said again: "Weichen has something to ask for."
The emperor said: "Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"The little girl Su Yun has been familiar with military books since she was a child, and a few days ago she followed Yang Qi, the deputy general of the minister, to learn about the battlefield.
There was an uproar.
Although Jing Zhao can be in the army for both men and women, throughout history, no father has been so eager to let his daughter go to the battlefield, not to mention that Su Wan is Su Yuan's only daughter.
Isn't this Su Yuanmo crazy? The battlefield was so dangerous, how could he be willing to let his daughter take such a risk.
The emperor was also stunned, he looked at Su Yuan with puzzled eyes, and Su Yuan gave him a firm look.
The emperor nodded his head to indicate that he had received it.
"Ahem, Su Yun, the daughter of General Zhenyuan, has superb swordsmanship, excellent martial arts, has been familiar with military books since childhood, and knows the battlefield, I authorized Su Yun to follow General Zhenyuan to go to Nanyao, and set off in two days."
With a holy decree from the emperor, Su Yun's career as a horse warrior began.
Su Yuan, the general of Zhenyuan, took the initiative to ask Ying to go on the expedition, and also asked to bring his daughter Su Yun to go to the experience, and the news immediately spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital.
For a while, Su Yun became the object of heated discussion in the capital.
Some people praised this, saying that Su Wan is a woman who does not let her eyebrows go; Some people scoff at this, thinking that it is difficult for a woman to become a big deal.
In any case, the holy decree has been issued, and it is a foregone conclusion that Su Wan will go on the expedition with his father.
Coincidentally, two days later was the day when Yunsheng and Jiang Jingrou got married.
Su Yun took a deep breath, and the boulder hanging in his heart finally landed.
Chu Chu's eyes instantly turned red when he learned about this.
"Wan Wan...... You're in such a hurry, Yun Sheng ......"
Before Chu Chu finished speaking, Su Wan immediately interrupted her, "Chu Chu, don't mention Yunsheng to me, we have no possibility." As soon as Su Wan let go, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, shattered into several pieces, and the tea spilled all over the ground.
"The broken mirror is reunited, and it is difficult to recover the water, you should understand this truth." Su Yun's tone was as cold as the cold wind in winter, and she looked at Chu Chu, as if there was frost and snow in her eyes.
Chu Chu couldn't say a word again, Su Yun in front of her was no longer the little girl who was naughty and smiling all day long, her eyes were cold and resolute.
It must have been that she mentioned in front of General Su that she wanted to go to the battlefield, otherwise how could General Su ask the emperor so urgently to take her on the expedition?
She didn't even leave a way out for herself.
It wasn't until this moment that Chu Chu clearly realized that Su Yun had completely lost his mind to Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng tried many ways to meet Su Yun after knowing the news that Su Yun was going to go on land expedition, but Su Yun rejected them one by one.
The day before the expedition, and the day before Yun Sheng's wedding, Yun Sheng climbed over the wall and entered the general's mansion.
Since Su Wan didn't want to see him, he could only use this method to meet her.
Yunsheng came to Fang Zexuan with a familiar car.
Su Wan was preoccupied, she sat in front of the window, looking at the sunset at dusk, and her heart was extremely desolate.
The past came flooding back to her mind, and she looked at the peach trees in the yard, and her eyes passed through the garden trees, casting her eyes on the distant time......
The girl in red, the boy in white, one is bright and flamboyant, like the sun in June, and the other is as warm as jade, like the soft breeze in April.
In the rain of peach blossoms flying in the sky, the boy and the girl danced the sword together, and the two were like a pair of fairy couples.
Suddenly, a shadow cast down, and a familiar aura surrounded Su Yun.
Su Yun didn't need to raise his eyes to know that it was Yunsheng.
"Why are you here?" She didn't dare look up.
Yun Sheng didn't speak, he stretched out his hand to Su Yun.
Su Wan looked at the hands as white as jade and did not respond to him.
Now it was different, he was no longer her boy. Tomorrow he will marry a beautiful woman, and she will leave this place, and they will eventually drift apart.
But the hand stubbornly waited for a response, showing no sign of withdrawing.
"......," Yun Sheng finally spoke.
The voice she hadn't heard for a long time made her heart tremble.
Su Wan hadn't heard Yun Sheng's voice for a long time, and the moment he spoke, her heart began to ache faintly.
Think it's the last time.
Su Wan slowly put his hand on Yun Sheng's hand.
Yun Sheng took her hand with one hand and pushed it up slightly, and with the other hand, he grabbed her waist and brought her whole person out.
Yun Sheng jumped onto the wall with Su Yun and walked out of the General's Mansion.
"Where are you taking me?" Su Yun's voice couldn't hear any emotion.
Yun Sheng didn't speak.
When the two arrived at a tavern, Yun Sheng bought two pots of green plum wine, gave Su Yun a bottle, and then took Su Yun's hand and walked on the street as if no one was around.
"Aren't you afraid of being recognized? The day before the wedding, you took other women for a walk on the street, aren't you afraid that your fiancΓ©e will be uncomfortable? Su Yun deliberately stimulated Yun Sheng with mockery.
Yun Sheng held Su Yun's hand tightly when he heard this, and his pace stopped.
He turned to look at Su Yun, his eyes were as warm as water, his eyebrows were shrouded in a faint melancholy, and his eyes were full of sadness.
Su Yun was stung by his eyes, and his tone softened, "Yunsheng, I'm leaving tomorrow." β
Yun Sheng lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes.
"I know." He held her hand tighter.
Yun Sheng looked at Su Yun for a while, "I'll wait for you to go to a place." β
Yun Sheng took her to a lake, which was so large that the scenery on the opposite shore became a blurred line.
In the distance, the autumn water is the same color as the sky, and the sunset and the lonely bird fly together.
In a remnant sun, the lake is half orange and half green, and there are fishermen singing and singing on fishing boats in the distance.
There are a few trees scattered around the lake, their leaves already yellowed, and a gust of wind blows and the leaves flutter down.
A leaf fell on Su Wan's bun, and Yun Sheng reached out to brush the leaf away, but did not remove his hand again.
His slender fingers brushed between Su Wan's eyebrows, and his eyes were gentle like a spring breeze blowing through the blue waves.
The subtle tremor passed into her body through Su Yun's eyebrows, and at this moment, Yun Sheng's face, eyes, and expression, as well as the kind and unfamiliar manly aura coming from his clothes, made her overwhelmed and her heart was like a mess.
Yun Sheng took out a wooden box from his arms, opened the wooden box and gently inserted the white jade peach hairpin in the box into Su Yun's bun.
A smile bloomed in Yun Sheng's eyes, "Wan Wan really looks very good wearing this hairpin." β
Su Yun looked at Yun Sheng and did not speak.
"This is ...... It's a gift I prepared for you, sorry, it's a little late. β
Su Yun's eyes were full of tears, she shook her head gently, her heart aching as if she was being tightly kneaded by a pair of hands.
