Chapter 70: Mother and Son
In the palace of Luoyang City, the imperial study was in a mess again, and the people in the surrounding palace were silent, and the reason for this familiar scene was the same as last time, yes, it was still because of the bad news from the war report.
What came from Guanzhong before was originally good news, basically Xiao Baochun said how he couldn't raise his head to suppress the rebels from all walks of life, even if Cui Yanbo missed a few times before, the emperor actually didn't care too much, after all, there is no general in the world who can win the battle forever, when he received the news that Cui Yanbo was killed in battle and more than half of the army was damaged, the emperor really couldn't sit down.
At this time, the news of Wuyuan also came, and the broken six Han Baling, who had been calculated several times in succession, seemed to be shrewd all of a sudden, and began to fight steadily, and the shortcomings of the court's weak strength also leaked out, and now the imperial army was completely suppressed, and the troops who were originally fighting against the expedition can now only be strictly defended.
"Er Zhurong said that he is willing to take the initiative to send troops to quell the rebellion, what do you two think about this!" The little emperor Yuan Xu asked in a deep voice.
"The chief of Qihu, Er Zhurong, doesn't seem to have many soldiers and horses, he must be grateful for the emperor's grace, although he knows that his strength is not good, but he also has to share his worries for the emperor, no matter what, it can be regarded as a piece of loyalty, why doesn't Your Majesty let him try, even if he doesn't succeed, there is no harm!" Gu Hui said cautiously, he was scared of being smashed by the emperor last time, and now although the level of talking and patting is still very low, it is much more measured!
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Queen Mother has rejected Er Zhurong's proposal to send troops, and the Queen Mother's reason is that Er Zhurong is a hero and cannot be reused!" Sauda reminded from the side.
"The chief of a small Qihu, at best, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, what kind of hero can he be, and this Erzhu family has sacrificed horses for the court for generations, and is loyal to the court, how can he be unfavorable to the emperor!" Gu Hui said in the opposite tone.
"What the Queen Mother said is not unreasonable, the Southern Army has not been at ease recently, Shouyang was captured by them not long ago, I am afraid that they will not stop looking at their appearance, I really can't draw troops now, let Er Zhurong try!" Yuan Xu got up after saying that, "I'm going to find the Queen Mother, and I'm going to say that the Queen Mother agrees with Er Zhurong to send troops!" ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not easy!" Gu Hui rolled his eyes and whispered to the emperor.
"Oh! Why? Yuan Xu stopped and asked with a frown.
"Well...... this"
"If there's a fart, let it go!"
"Yes, yes, the Queen Mother has been suppressing His Majesty's forces recently, and now there are people from the Queen Mother inside and outside the court, Er Zhurong has repeatedly mentioned His Majesty and not the Queen Mother, and Weichen thinks that the Queen Mother is disgusted with Er Zhurong because of this, so he will not give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to the emperor!"
"Humph! How can national affairs be decided by personal likes and dislikes, I'm going to see her! Yuan Xu said that he went to see the Queen Mother angrily, but when he arrived at the gate of the Queen Mother's Palace, he saw Zheng Yan, the Chinese secretary, and he saw that he was going to meet the Queen Mother like that, and he was much more anxious than himself.
Zheng Yan immediately knelt down when he saw Yuan Xu, "See Your Majesty!" ”
"Do you want to see the Queen Mother so late?" The emperor squinted, his face was gloomy, the Empress Dowager Hu was in the prime of life and was lonely and found a lot of lovers, but only Zheng Yan was the only one who could enter and leave the Empress Dowager's bedroom day and night, the emperor had also heard of the scandal of the Empress Dowager Hu and Zheng Yan and others, and he didn't want to delve into it when he was usually able to get by, but now he happened to be bumped into, how could he not feel disgusted.
"Chen Qingzhi of the Southern Army has just captured Shouyang, and now they still often dispatch troops, Weichen is worried that the situation in the south will change, so he asked the Queen Mother to discuss state affairs!" Zheng Yan cautiously argued.
Yuan Xu saw this deceitful minister, and his heart was also a little bored, but now the power of the Empress Dowager Hu is far stronger than him, although he is the emperor, he can only forbear, the little emperor is too young, even if he does not have a seizure on the surface, his face can not deceive others, this extremely annoyed look makes Zheng Yan tremble.
"Hahaha, Aiqing is loyal and patriotic, and he still focuses on state affairs late at night, what a model of virtuous ministers!" Yuan Xu laughed a few times, and immediately waved his hand and drove back to the palace, at this time he was definitely not in the mood to see the queen mother again.
Zheng Yan was relieved to see the emperor leaving, lowered his head and wiped his sweat, and then got up to find his lover of "Mother Yi World", and when he saw the Empress Dowager Hu, the two were lingering for a while, and then Zheng Yan mentioned that the emperor was angry and sneered and left.
"The child is not sensible, what do you have to worry about him, now that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the forbidden officers and soldiers are in my hands, what else do you have to worry about!" Empress Dowager Hu has the majesty of the Empress Dowager in front of her lover, she is really inferior to the woman in the Qinglou.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager Hu said this, Zheng Yan didn't want to be too weak in front of his lover, so he didn't mention it anymore, but Zheng Yan felt that he had served the Empress Dowager too many times, too tired not to mention, and it was particularly inconvenient, Zheng Yan felt that it was necessary to arrange a duty schedule with his comrades to serve the Queen Mother......

"You say we're going to watch out for the Khihu chieftain Erjurong?" Helian Xue's face was full of doubts, and she asked puzzledly: "How many soldiers and horses can he have, not to mention Anapu, I estimate that there are many more Brahmins in ruin today than Erzhurong!" ”
After a long journey, Chen Yu finally reconciled with Helian Xue, although Chen Yu didn't know where he had offended her, but a woman's heart was in the sea, and Chen Yu had to choose not to waste his brains about things that he couldn't figure out.
Chen Yu sighed: "Er Zhurong does not avoid the cold and heat in training, he likes to hunt, often let ordinary soldiers subdue the tiger with their bare hands, his corporals are training and arranging the formation, one person is killed by the tiger and the others are immediately made up, which soldier will be immediately executed if he has the slightest hesitation, and the hard work of his troops is better than that of my new army!" ”
"But Zhu Rong here doesn't have any proud records, and he is relatively low-key in the past!" After recalling the impression of Er Zhurong, Helian Xue continued.
"There is no record because he was not given a chance, as for the low profile, do you think elephants usually show off their muscles with ants when they are fine?" Chen Yu asked rhetorically.
"Your analogy is interesting, the person you Yan Gongzi values so much, it should be really not bad, I will remind my father-in-law when I go back!" After rescuing Helian En and defeating Xiao Baokun, Helian Xue also admired Chen Yu's ability and strategy, and of course she would attach great importance to Chen Yu's words.
"Also, that Yuwen Luosheng is not an idle person, and this person cannot be underestimated!" Chen Yu didn't know whether to remind Xia Po Liuhan Baling and let him be careful of Yuwen Luosheng, now history has changed a lot because of the butterfly effect, since the He Bajia has been persuaded by himself to give up serving the imperial court, so is it possible that the Yuwen family will also be affected.
"Brother Yuwen is indeed very capable, Yuwen Luosheng is good at scheming, Yuwen Hao Yuwen Lian is outstanding in force, and now with these talents, the strength of our righteous army has also grown a lot!" Helian Xue said happily.
"Are the Yuwen brothers gone?" Chen Yu was slightly surprised, he originally thought that only Yuwen Luosheng went to Poliu Han Baling alone, but he didn't expect all the Yuwen brothers to go.
"Yes! Yuwen Luosheng went first, Brother Yuwen went later, and that Ge Rong, Your Majesty values them very much now! Helian Xue said casually.
"Who are you talking about? Ge ......, Ge Rong!! Chen Yu shouted with a shocked face:
