Winter turned to spring, and Chang'an finally became vigorous in early spring after a long and harsh winter.

Since Wei divided the east and west, one of which was changed to the Yuan Dynasty in Chang'an, Yu Wentai, who was originally a strong man in Guanzhong, took all the remaining strength of the six towns under his command, and gradually reorganized into the six armies together with the original Guanzhong sergeants. The military household registration is different from the private household, and the general is subordinate to the general who commands the army, takes the Xianbei old customs as the system, and takes the Xianbei old family name as the surname. The re-establishment of the military system has strengthened the strength of the army, which was originally scattered and insufficient, in the midst of various invisible restructurings.

In addition to the Xianbei old people who moved west, even the original Guannai states and Haoyou clans also came to annex more. Don't mention others, everyone knows that Zuo Cheng Su Sui, who is most valued by Prime Minister Yu Wentai, is a person from Guannei. Dacheng often asks "Mr. Su" for advice when he encounters, not only in the palace and temple, but also in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is not uncommon for the prime minister to invite Mr. Su to talk at night.

Nowadays, not only the emperor Yuan Bao torch takes the great prime minister Yuwentai as the pillar stone of the country, but also the Yuan clan headed by Guangling Wang Yuanxin is also of the same heart and mind as the great Cheng. Yuwentai also reported to him for the important position of Gaojue, and even wanted to use Guangling Wang Yuanxin as the head of the six armies to be on a par with himself. For a while, the Han people or the Xianbei people, the people from the west can also be Guanlong, and the local wealthy families can also be in Guanlong, and there is a thriving trend everywhere.

The court is virtuous and virtuous; civil servitude is reduced; benefit people's livelihood with regional benefits; leniency in prison to reassure the people; preaching and educating the people; With the assistance of Mr. Su, who is extremely talented, Yu Wentai, the prime minister who made the government, has gained a lot. From the beginning of the auxiliary government to the present, he has secretly weighed many times in his heart, and he has already felt that he can compete with the Gao clan in Yecheng, and even has thought that in the future, with the assistance of Mr. Su, he will follow Zhou Feng again, reset the six official functions to restore the Zhou ceremony, and once again achieve a more harmonious unification to restore the majesty of the Great Wei when he unified the north.

Although Chang'an in the cold winter is extremely cold, if the early spring is gradually sunny and the new greenery is beginning to appear, if the cold wave hits, it is even more cold than in winter. The palace rooms are often tall and deep, so the palace is often cold in winter. However, the Fengyi Palace, which is located in an important position and has an extraordinary status, will never be like this.

Fengyi Hall is the residence of Empress Yi Fushi. Not only that, but the reason why it is extraordinary is that since the reform of the Yuan Dynasty, the new emperor Yuan Bao Torch has also been living here. The original owner of Fengyi Palace, the former princess of Nanyang, and now the Empress Yi Fu of the Great Wei Dynasty, and her husband Jun Yuan Bao Torch have always maintained a rare habit, and the husband and wife have been living together. When he was in the palace, it was a private matter, and after ascending to the supreme position, such a private matter was no longer a private matter.

The greasy powder fragrance in the Fengyi Hall is as warm as a spring breeze. After the change of identity, although Yi Fushi was full of suspicions, her husband's ingots gave her the greatest sense of security. Yuan Bao Ju is not a person whose temper is rather bent, he will judge the situation and be rigid with softness, but he has a bottom line in his heart and knows how to overcome rigidity with softness. Therefore, he will not go west to Chang'an so willfully because he is stubborn and unwilling to be manipulated by others, like the first emperor Yuan Xiu, and he will not lose both because he is bent on making Yuan Mingyue the queen.

Yuan Bao Ju is not so resistant to the fact that Prime Minister Yu Wentai is in charge of the government, so that the politics of the world are all in his hands. For Yuwentai, at least in terms of the ability of the auxiliary government, the Yuan Bao Torch can even be said to be quite recognized. And since he ascended to the pole to change the Yuan Dynasty, the facts have also proved that the recognition of Yuwentai by the Yuan Bao Torch is very correct. For the sake of the society of Great Wei, he was willing to give up power to Yuwentai. Just treat it as a vertical arch, what's the harm?

What exactly is his bottom line? When Midnight Dream asks himself, maybe his bottom line is just to protect himself and his wife and children. He is extremely heavenly, has no internal favor, and lets go to the greatest extent just to keep the people around him who he cares about the most and who supports him the most in his heart. Seeing that the politics of the Great Wei Dynasty were clear, the military strength was growing, and the people's hearts were chasing the ancient style, he was extremely comforted in his heart. After a long winter, what he hoped for the most was the birth of a child.

"Lord." The voice of the palace maid, who was deliberately lowered slightly through the curtain, woke up the contemplative ingot torch. Sure enough, the ingot torch, which was originally standing quietly facing Queen Yifu's sleeping bed, turned around and saw a delicate shadow outside the curtain. The shadow only called out and did not speak again.

Yuan Bao Ju glanced back at the low hanging place of the bed tent, he couldn't see Yue'e through the bed tent, only because he had a faint uneasiness in his heart, so he subconsciously looked back like this. Then he turned around, walked over with light steps, and walked out with his own curtains.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Yu Wentai is already waiting for the Holy Driver in the garden." The palace maid replied with a very respectful salute, and bowed her head and waited for the emperor's orders.

"If the queen has something, go to the garden immediately to report it." Yuan Bao Ju only whispered this sentence and walked outside. Yue'e was about to give birth, but she could hardly sleep every night for days, and he was very worried to see that she was always unconscious. It was rare that she could sleep peacefully at this moment, but he had to leave Fengyi Hall at the invitation of Prime Minister Yuwen Taizhi.

The cold wind of early spring blows like a knife on a man's cheeks. Although there are many flowers and trees in the garden, the time has not yet come, and the bald branches are still dry and there is no greenery. It is no longer the gray scene of winter, even if the trees have not yet reached spring, but the vitality that cannot be hidden has faintly flourished. The garden is not as strict as the harem of the previous dynasty, and the lakes and mountains are dotted in the extremely open terrain. At this time, a large number of people gathered in one of the large open spaces.

The grass has not sprouted, but the soil has the smell of grass, indicating the upcoming season of growth. It's just that the thinly dressed inner eunuchs and palace people didn't care about trembling, and they all focused on the man holding the strong bow in the middle of the empty field.

Guangling Wang Yuanxin and others sat upright, and there would not be the slightest rudeness or rudeness. Although they were also extremely curious, they all restrained themselves, and did not exchange their heads, and the kings of the clan stared at Yuwentai with a strong bow in their hands one by one more nervously than the eunuchs and maids.

Zuo Cheng, Su Sui and others were surprised with expressions that seemed to be happy and appreciative. The prime minister Yu Wentai they knew was originally the one who worked day and night and only knew how to diligently pursue governance. only knew that he was scheming, and even felt that he was a little ruthless. But these Guan Longhao people are not familiar with his heroic and brave appearance, so in a little excitement and doubt, they really can't help but talk about it in private.

Only Zhao Gui, Yu Jin, Li Hu, Dugu Xin and others are really familiar with this person who was originally a general. They just saw the side they were once most accustomed to. And they don't need to talk to each other, as long as they coincide with the hussar general in their memory, it is enough to bring comfort and surprise.

At this time, the emperor's ingots torch had already gotten out of the chariot and was surrounded by people who walked up to sit on the seat of the Son of Heaven. He didn't ride a horse, and he was originally the governor of the Chinese army on all sides under the personal order of the first emperor Yuanxiu, how could he not be good at riding and shooting. There was no surprise in the eyes of the ingot, he smiled slightly, and accepted the courtiers with a very gentle appearance.

"I heard that the prime minister has excellent strength, and I am fortunate to see it with my own eyes today." The emperor's ingot torch seemed to be full of interest. It seems that his interest is only in the matter of archery itself, and he does not care why the prime minister practices riding and archery in front of the kings and ministers.

"Riding and shooting is a humble old custom, and the minister does not dare to forget the ancestors." Yu Wentai replied in a very loud voice.

Yuan Bao Ju smiled and signaled, and Yuwentai took the order to walk back to the firing position.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Yuwentai.

He is dressed in two-crotch armor and wears a hood on his head, which is not the demeanor of a prime minister with wide robes and big sleeves on weekdays, nor is he a scheming appearance when governing the country. Holding the bow in his hand, flat in front of him, engrossed, thick eyebrows slightly frowned, there was no scheming at the moment, only focused on the eyes, and the heroic spirit between the eyebrows gushed out. It is as if he is facing a strong enemy at the last moment, and if he shoots the enemy in an instant and succeeds, he can save the situation. That kind of calm and unhurried demeanor made everyone attracted by him and held their breath.

With a single arrow, the sharp arrow came out, piercing through the tense air and unwaveringly whistling out along the trajectory set for it by its master. As expected, there was a dull sound, hitting the bull's-eye. This result was also expected, which made people who were not expecting it excited. There was a cacophony.

Only Zhao Gui, the general of the chariot cavalry, whispered to the hussar general next to him with an unconcealable smile, "The prime minister uses a twelve-stone bow, and he still has excellent arm strength, far exceeding that of ordinary generals, so it can be seen that the flesh has not been resurrected." ”

Yu Jin seemed to hear Zhao Gui's words, but he didn't seem to hear them, and he didn't smile like Zhao Gui, but stared at Yu Wentai, the heroic and unusually powerful prime minister in the distance. He sensitively realized in this scene that Yu Wentai's vigor was hidden in his uneasy eagerness.

Yu Jin couldn't help but sigh, "The prime minister is not like an ordinary person, so why rush for a while with a long road ahead." ”

Zhao Gui also didn't understand Yu Jin's words, but he was extremely smart, and he immediately felt that Yu Jin was thinking too much. But Zhao Gui has no doubts about Jin, knowing that Yu Jin has the talent of Wang Zuo, and there must be a reason for his concerns. He didn't understand what Yu Jin was sighing about, but he clearly knew that he had to keep Yu Jin and the prime minister consistent. The head of the prime minister's horse is Juner, and if he doesn't want it, he must also be assisted, which is what the lord can do.

However, before Zhao Gui could think about how to persuade Yu Jin in a righteous and subtle way, he suddenly saw a eunuch beside the emperor's ingots torch who didn't know what to report to the emperor.

Emperor Yuan Bao Ju is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and he will think about everything, and he will not be as impulsive as the first emperor Yuan Xiu. What was it that made the dignified emperor suddenly get up and leave while watching the prime minister practice riding and shooting?

The eyes that were still focused on Prime Minister Yu Wentai just now immediately shifted to the emperor Yuan Bao Torch. In the midst of all the attention, the ingot torch turned a blind eye to everyone, and strode out of the tent as if no one was around. The palace maids who followed had to speed up their steps, otherwise they would not be able to catch up with the Son of Heaven. And the Son of Heaven didn't care if they could keep up or not, and at this time he looked around and didn't know what he was looking for. Everyone looked at the great prime minister Yu Wentai, thinking that the Son of Heaven was looking for the great prime minister. Who knew that when Yuan Bao Torch's gaze swept over Yu Wentai's face, it was as if he didn't know him, obviously not looking for him.

The emperor looked around blankly as he hurried away. The eunuchs thought that the emperor was going to board the chariot, but this idea fell through again. The emperor didn't even look at the chariot when he passed by, and then it was obvious that his eyes lit up, and he looked like he had found his target. The ingot torch stared straight at a few horses in the distance and strode away. The servants who thought that the emperor would board the chariot and were ready to take over here were stunned, and knelt down at a loss to look at the emperor who had already walked away. It took a moment to reflect, and they all got up and chased after them.

The emperor's ingot torch had already walked up to a white horse, stretched out his hand and pulled the reins, the force seemed to be very gentle, and the white horse turned around and saw that it was a stranger, but somehow he looked at this clear and gentle man very docilely. The ingot torch gently stroked the horse's long mane, and then lifted the hem of the robe slightly, and jumped on the horse's back before the palace eunuchs and palace maids who were chasing him could chase him.

He was not armoured, and he was still wearing a wide-sleeved robe, but he was so skilful and easy when he jumped on horseback. This made everyone present secretly surprised in their hearts. Yu Wentai looked at the back of the ingots torch thoughtfully, he almost forgot that this former prince of the clan was also a bloody man. He had also heard that many years ago, the scene of killing the monarch with white blades and blood under the Yongning Pagoda of Yongning Temple in Luoyang was the Yuan Bao Torch of the Nanyang King at that time who restrained the great prime minister Gao Huan and established Yuan Xiu, who was still the king of Pingyang, as the son of heaven.

The white horse had already run away, and the ingot torch threw off everyone. He rode away with obvious ease, and the white horse was instantly convinced of its new master.

When the emperor rode away, everyone's eyes fell on the prime minister Yu Wentai. At this time, Zhao Gui and Yu Jin both saw a slightly older eunuch standing beside Yu Wentai, bowing down and whispering to Yu Wentai. And they, from the look of the prime minister, couldn't guess anything. Zhao Gui and Yu Jin unconsciously glanced at each other at the same time, and they both walked slowly towards the prime minister together.

At this time, Zuo Cheng Su Sui laughed and talked happily with several Guanlong officials around him as if he hadn't seen anything. The content of their laughter and conversation was obviously not related to this mounted archery exercise, and it seemed that they were only talking about singing, dancing, drinking, and food. Su Zuocheng had hardly been so relaxed and happy in the palace ban, and this scene attracted the attention of some people.

Guangling Wang Yuanxin stood up as if he was about to leave. He was the head of the kings of the clan, and the others followed suit. If His Royal Highness the King of Guangling didn't understand why the prime minister wanted to act as a horse archer, and why the Son of Heaven left suddenly, others naturally wouldn't understand. King Guangling obviously doesn't care so much about what happened today, so as a clan, it's really better not to care than to care. For more kings of the clan, singing and feasting is the first priority, and only by closing the door can their lives be safe.
