Early the next morning, Zhang You, Li Yan and others said goodbye to Sumia and Ruolan Dacheng Biji, and left Hohhot before dawn.

Qian Qi and the others lost five people in the battle of Bansheng that day, and the rest were all injured, although after more than half a month of recuperation, there was still no good solution. Fortunately, the matter of sending troops has to be talked about after the New Year, so everyone does not walk fast on horses, and they only travel dozens of miles every day to find hotels and inns to rest.

Stop and go like this, and when I return to Jingshi, I have already entered the Layue Gate.

Although Li Rusong and Zheng Luo did not rush to participate, they had already sent the news back to Jingshi, Zhang You entered the palace to see the driver, Zhu Yijun's first sentence was: "Okay, let's rush to the crown and be angry as a big hero with a red face back, why didn't you bring that Ruolan into the palace?" Looks like I'm going to have to reward another lady. ”

Zhang You touched his nose embarrassedly: "Your Majesty is laughing, what is it that you are angry at the crown, Weichen has already made up his mind in his heart, and he has already asked his subordinates to prepare sniper rifles, and he is ready to take the enemy's head in the chaotic army...... Speaking of which, at that time, in order to encourage morale, Weichen promised to shoot Tumen Khan's Fengjin Yi Qianhu, but he was taken the lead by Qian Qi, and this matter is expected to be completed by His Majesty! ”

Zhu Yijun said: "I already know about this, you are the governor of Jinyi, you make your own decision, I am the icing on the cake, and allow him to inherit thousands of households in Jinyi, what do you think?" ”

"Hereditary? Isn't it a bit too much? Zhang You said modestly, but in his heart he felt that Zhu Yijun was really reasonable.

"It's not at all, don't forget that he killed Tumen Khan, and I not only want to reward him with a hereditary brocade robe, but also a reward for silver and land, so that he can be worthy of his merits."

Zhang You deliberately asked with a bitter face: "Your Majesty has rewarded him, and Weichen's credit is not small, so you didn't think about rewarding me for something?" ”

"Didn't you say it, reward your three ladies and two fates, count your mother, this is a four-way fate, such an honor*pet*, I dare not say that there is no one in the future, there should be no ancients in front, right?" Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

Zhang You smiled bitterly: "Don't mention Your Majesty, that girl won't come back with me, she has to stay in Hohhot......"

"Why?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.

"The heart is high, don't look at the girl who was born in the Qing* Building, in terms of heart, she must be the highest one among my women, back to Beijing, even if His Majesty rewards the order, it is just like a lady, it is different to stay in Hohhot, you have to take her as an ancestor to offer ......"

"According to what you say, that girl has a lot of eyes." Zhu Yijun laughed.

"Who's to say it's not, but it's understandable, maybe it's more about thinking more about the future child."

Zhu Yijun nodded, he already knew that Ruolan was pregnant with Zhang You's child, and said: "This woman is different once she becomes a mother, her heart is full of her own children, and even her husband is thrown aside, not to mention that Ruolan, the queen, Ning Guifei, are all the same, I can actually understand this very well." ”

After a pause, he said: "That's it, since she is willing to stay in Hohhot, I will still reward her with the second grade of Mrs. Fate, this time you not only rescued the danger of Bansheng, but also successfully killed Tumen Khan, and now the barbarian dragons are leaderless, they will definitely fall into civil strife because of this, and they will no longer be able to pose a threat to my Ming Dynasty in the short term, and the credit is really not small." I have an idea, why don't we take advantage of the civil strife in the barbarian tribe and take the opportunity to send troops to completely wipe it out and eliminate the troubles? ”

Zhang You said: "Weichen also has this idea, but isn't it the beginning of spring to go south to Ryukyu?" If you fight on two fronts, the imperial court should be very difficult, right? ”

"The king of the Ryukyus sent someone to deliver the credentials a few days ago, hoping that I would allow him to come to the Ming Dynasty in person at the beginning of spring next year. Compared with the barbarians, the Ryukyus are lonely overseas after all, but the barbarians are the big trouble, so why don't you put the Ryukyus first, see what Na Shangyong says after he comes, and then solve the barbarians first. ”

"It seems that Your Majesty has already made up your mind, Weichen must have no opinion here, what about others, has Your Majesty consulted other ministers?" Zhang You asked, most concerned about Zhang Siwei's attitude.

Zhu Yijun took a small bite of the beef jerky that Zhang You brought back from Hohhot, and said: "Yesterday, because of this matter, I specially convened a meeting of the ministers of military aircraft, well, by the way, I let your father-in-law also enter the military aircraft department, and everyone's opinions are relatively consistent......

"What did Shousuke-sama say?"

Zhang Siwei also agreed, and recommended Ma Gui to be the general of this expedition, and I estimated that you should be about to return to Beijing, so I didn't agree on the spot. The use of troops in the Northeast is different from the use of troops in Jiangnan, so it is more reassuring to send you to me. Actually, I was thinking about the royal conquest, but after mentioning it a little, I was refuted by all of them, so I didn't bother to reason with them...... Not to mention, this beef jerky is really delicious, go back and ask them to send more to accompany the wine, I want it to taste better. ”

"No problem, Your Majesty just likes to eat, Mongolia lacks everything, but there is no shortage of this thing, you have as much as you want." Zhang You agreed with a smile, and then his face turned straight: "What they are worried about is not unreasonable, and Weichen does not support you to take risks, after all, there is such a big unstable factor as Liaodong." ”

"Well, I understand, or I wouldn't argue with them. It's the same if you go, you can make meritorious contributions, and here in me, it's like I have made meritorious service myself. ”

"Thanks to His Majesty's trust, Wechen did his best, and then ...... after death"

"Get out, don't talk to me, this time you send troops to be brutal, I will not only send heavenly guards to help, but the rest of the troops, you can choose where you want to use them, just make sure that nothing goes wrong and make a contribution in one fell swoop."

"Weichen doesn't need anyone, just take Qi Yuanjing with him, and let him choose where he wants to use the soldiers."

"Okay, that's right."

"When will the troops be sent?" Zhang You asked.

Zhu Yijun took a sip of milk tea from his cup, and then slammed it on the table: "The soldier is fast, the faster the better!" ”

"What did Your Majesty say?" Back in the house, Li Yan asked, and greeted the traveler without leaving behind.

Zhang You had just arrived at the Moon Gate, but he hadn't arrived in the East Courtyard yet, and he pretended to be stupid when he heard the words: "What do you say?" ”

"What do you say, what are we doing here? Isn't it just to tell Your Majesty the news that Zhang Siwei has hidden and not reported! Li Yan said angrily.

"Why tell him?" Zhang You asked rhetorically.

"Nonsense, of course, you can't let his wishful thinking succeed." The traveler said dissatisfiedly, and said: "Don't sell your kid, what does Your Majesty say?" ”

"Your Majesty didn't say anything, because I didn't tell him at all." Zhang You said with a smile.

"Why?" The two asked in unison.

It happened that Zhang Jialin and Shen Wan'er saw the three of them talking here from a distance, and they also greeted them.
