Chapter 639: Passionate and Diligent (Medium)
Throughout the ages, the royal conquest has been a double-edged sword. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info When the country is in danger, the emperor's personal expedition can greatly boost the morale of the soldiers on the battlefield, and it is even very likely that the defeat will turn into victory, and the former Song Dynasty's Lanyuan Alliance is a good example. In the great war of the country's expansion, the imperial expedition can also reflect the importance of this battle, and it is also convenient for the emperor to give orders nearby, such as Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, who fought all the way to Heluo.
But this is only one aspect, once the emperor has an accident in his own army, then it is very likely to lead to a long-term chaos in the whole country and the rout of the army. Such examples abound in history, and there are even many more positive ones, such as Liu Bang being trapped in Baishan, and Zhao Guangyi's defeat in the Baigou River, these are bloody lessons.
Before the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, Ye Yingwu was indeed needed to command, because the Ming army was trained by Ye Yingwu, and with Ye Yingwu, the undefeated god of war, the morale of the army was high, and at that time, even if Ye Yingwu did not drive the expedition in person, the front line was defeated, and the Ming Dynasty still did not last long. This is also the reason why Wen Tianxiang and the others are worried, but they don't stop Ye Yingwu much every time.
With Ye Yingwu, there may be a chance of victory, but without Ye Yingwu, it is very likely to be defeated directly.
But now it's different, even if the war on the northern and southern fronts really fails, it won't let the Ming Dynasty go to extinction, but Ye Yingwu's personal expedition is likely to lead to the emptiness of the country, and even give those families who are ready to move a chance, so whether it is Ye Yingwu or Wen Tianxiang, they definitely don't want to drive the expedition in person.
However, if the southern front really collapses, Ye Yingwu will not be able to sit idly by, in the case that Su Liuyi and the others are not sure, he still has to sit on the front line, and even now it is more appropriate to go to the front line to command the entire war. After all, the officials of those provinces in Nanyang are too young, and Ye Yingwu is worried that once the front line collapses, they will not be able to play a role in maintaining stability, which is also reasonable.
This is forcing himself to go out, Su Liuyi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He also knew that His Majesty definitely didn't want to go out, otherwise he wouldn't have looked at Yutu and didn't say a word. Ye Yingwu's real meaning was obviously to send a general to stabilize the situation in the rear of Nanyang, and even organize the evacuation of the people first. And now looking at the Ming Dynasty and the opposition, who else is more suitable than Su Liuyi?
After pondering for a long time, Su Liuyi seemed to have made up his mind and took a step forward: "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty is worried about the war in Nanyang and the stability of the rear of Nanyang, the minister is willing to go to Nanyang instead of Your Majesty, and he will definitely defeat the Mongol Tartars and dedicate the head of the enemy chieftain to Your Majesty!" ”
Ye Yingwu Huoran looked back, he was not looking at Su Liuyi, but at Liu Shiyong, Liu Shiyong immediately took a step forward: "Your Majesty, Su Xianggong is going to Nanyang, and the ministers must go all out to deal with the war between the north and the south, please rest assured!" ”
"That's good," Ye Yingwu nodded, walked slowly to Su Liuyi's side, stretched out his hand and patted Su Liuyi's shoulder-this action has rarely been done since Ye Yingwu ascended the throne, in order to maintain the emperor's majesty--before he spoke, "Ren Zhong Aiqing, Nanyang will be entrusted to you and General Ma, with you, General Ma must be able to let go of his hands and feet." ”
"We must live up to our mission!" Su Liu Yi said loudly.
Ye Yingwu's action of patting him on the shoulder made him feel as if he had returned to the Xingguo Army in an instant, returned to the cold wind and sassy Lianghuai, and returned to the battlefields where he had walked and fought bloodily. This was how Ye Yingwu entrusted the newly formed town navy under his command to him at that time, and now the town navy has become a well-deserved trump card main force of the Ming Dynasty.
For a while, Su Liuyi was in a trance. Unconsciously, he was so far away from the Jin Ge Iron Horse, as if the battles in his youth were all dreams, and the distant shouts and the soldiers who went forward and followed each other became blurred.
The height of the temple is good, but it is too calm.
Only the passionate battlefield is the best place for men to struggle.
Su Liuyi didn't feel that his eyes were already a little moist, and memories would always draw out a lot of thoughts hidden deep in his heart, not to mention that he Su Liuyi had always been a hot-blooded man, and the rolling naked blood in his chest had not yet cooled down because of the coldness in the court!
"Minister, you must live up to your mission!" Su Liuyi solemnly repeated again.
For the task given to him by Ye Yingwu, he was full of gratitude at this moment.
Ye Yingwu sat back in his chair a little tiredly, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally made up his mind and said: "Although you are the prime minister of the central and right of the court, you can't go south empty-handed, the situation in Nanyang is not bad on the surface, but what kind of undercurrent is there in private, you and I are separated by 108,000 miles in Nanjing, and I can't see clearly, so it is more stable to bring some people over, after all, I need you to go there to sit down, not to be a bare-bones general." ”
Su Liuyi was stunned for a moment, revealing a wry smile, where are the soldiers in the current Ming Dynasty?
"In this way," Ye Yingwu narrowed his eyes, "I give you a thousand Praetorian Guards, and you take them south, these thousand Praetorian Guards are all brave and elite in the army, I think you also know that it is impossible to use one as ten, but I still have confidence in taking one as three." ”
"Your Majesty, no!" Su Liuyi was taken aback and hurriedly refused, "Originally, the defense of Nanjing City in the Ming Dynasty relied on the outer Divine Guards and the inner Praetorian Guards, and now the Divine Guards are still on the way back from the north, if Your Majesty transfers the Praetorian Guards again, then what is the ・・・・・・ of Nanjing City?"
Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand to interrupt Su Liuyi's words, looked at his eyes and said: "Ren Zhongqing's family, the importance of Nanyang, there is no need to say it, I am sitting in Nanjing City, even if those clowns who jump off the beam have great ability, how many times can they turn over?" I'm a main force myself! So you can go to Nanyang with peace of mind and guard the south of the sea and sky for Daming! ”
"Your Majesty!" Su Liuyi solemnly knelt on the ground and saluted Ye Yingwu.
Liu Shiyong also followed and bowed deeply, Ye Yingwu did not hesitate to draw out the guards around him, such a decision is not an ordinary monarch.
Ye Yingwu originally wanted to stand up, but he still restrained himself, stretched out his hand to support his forehead, and said softly: "Okay, Su Aiqing, I entrust Nanyang to you, don't let me down, I don't want to go to Nanyang at this time to clean up the back road for you." I'm tired now, so let's step down. ”
"Obey the order!" Su Liu Yi and Liu Shiyong solemnly saluted again.
A ray of sunlight sprinkled on the steps in front of the imperial study, Liu Shiyong squinted his eyes and subconsciously wanted to look up, and the sky was cloudless. In an instant, the scene in the imperial study just now was like a dream, which made Liu Shiyong feel that he was within reach but difficult to get.
Su Liuyi, who was walking beside him, silently walked down the steps, and Liu Shiyong remembered something, and reached out to grab his sleeve: "Ren Zhongxianggong, there is something I don't understand, now there is an undercurrent in the capital, and Lu Xianggong is still in Shanxi, why did Your Majesty let Su Xianggong go out too?" ”
Su Liuyi paused, did not look back, and said lightly: "Your Majesty naturally has Your Majesty's considerations, you and I, as courtiers, don't think about it more, since Your Majesty has issued a will, then you and I will go all out, even if there is really anything in this capital, as Your Majesty said, with him, can you still turn the sky upside down?" ”
Liu Shiyong nodded, but his brows did not loosen, obviously Su Liuyi's answer was more perfunctory. However, Liu Shiyong figured it out by himself, but he could feel a hint of clues.
Now the three ministers of the political hall of the DPRK, Su Liuyi, as a soldier, obviously does not want to participate in this kind of thing, so he went to Nanyang not only because of Ye Yingwu's request, but also because of his own intention to avoid it, after all, as the right prime minister in charge of military affairs in the Ming Dynasty, when should he avoid suspicion, Su Liuyi is not stupid, of course he knows.
And Lu Xiufu was born in Zhenjiang Lumen, and now Zhenjiang Lumen is resolutely on Ye Yingwu's side, not to mention, Lu Xiufu does not have much connection with the Zhenjiang Lu family, and it can be said that Ye Yingwu is a loyal supporter.
Ye Yingwu transferred Su Liuyi and Lu Xiufu to the outside, not only expressing his trust in the two of them - out of the town, how can he have this qualification if he is not the emperor's henchman - but also to urge Wen Tianxiang, if Wen Tianxiang wants to sit firmly under the buttocks, he has to show something.
"The Wen Xianggong family is just a landlord," Su Liuyi, who had been silent, suddenly said in a low voice, "He understands what he should do, he hasn't said anything before, it's just that he thinks about the future of the Wen family." ”
Wen Tianxiang is now the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, under one person, above ten thousand people, after he is old, the Wen family will naturally have to change from an ordinary landlord to a new family, if you stand up against the family to obtain more benefits at this time, it naturally means that the benefits of the Wen family in the future can only be less, Wen Tianxiang will have more or less considerations in this regard.
After all, people live in the world not only with themselves, but also with a home behind them.
However, that was the situation where Ye Yingwu did not force him, and now Ye Yingwu has made his attitude clear, if Wen Tianxiang is still swaying from side to side, then the Wen family will not be able to become a new family, and his position in Wen Tianxiang may not be kept. The appointment and dismissal of a prime minister is sometimes a major event, and sometimes it is Ye Yingwu's kung fu, after all, there are many people waiting to replace Wen Tianxiang.
Liu Shiyong was stunned for a moment, then chuckled lightly, and kept up with Su Liuyi's footsteps.
"Bofen, after a certain departure, this Nanjing City will be handed over to you." Su Liuyi suddenly remembered something, turned around and said solemnly.
"Please rest assured that Su Xianggong is not talented, and he should go all out to live up to the trust of His Majesty and Su Xianggong." Liu Shiyong didn't know why Su Liuyi suddenly gave such an order, but he still hurriedly answered.
Su Liuyi looked up at the walls of the palace and said in a deep voice: "This is a banner dyed with blood by countless sons, and I don't want it to be dusty." ”
Liu Shiyong followed Su Liuyi's gaze, the red dragon flag on the city wall was hunting and dancing in the wind, under the sun, the golden dragon was radiant, as if it had come to life, the dragon claws were raised high, it seemed that anyone who wanted to resist this flag would be photographed as powder.
――――――――――――-
Sunlight shines on the pavilions.
"Come, come over here," Su Niang squatted on the ground, holding a rattle in her hand and shaking it constantly.
The sound of the rattle continued to echo, and several children hobbled forward after the sound.
"These kids are really fast learners." Lu Wanyan sat on the soft couch and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's rare to have a good day in this autumn, just let these children go out for a walk." ”
Su Niang turned around and said, "This is still the credit of Sister Qiqin." ”
Qiqin smiled slightly, and just wanted to speak, Lu Wanyan gently pressed her hand: "Sister Qin'er, you don't have to be polite about this, the palace goes home to save relatives, and the two younger sisters of Su Niang and Qiong Niang are tied to the six doors and can't move, and Sister Shu'er still has to serve by her husband's side, so you look at these children alone, which is really indispensable." ”
Su Niang raised her eyebrows: "Sister, what you said is not right, Qiong Niang and I are not dogs raised by our husbands, what do you mean to be chained to six doors." ”
"Okay, okay, isn't it okay for this palace to say something wrong?" Wan Niang chuckled, obviously not wanting to entangle with Su Niang on this issue.
"Isn't there a lot of wet nurses and maidservants, it's really not my own work." Qiqin smiled softly, but her eyes had been following those children, obviously she had invested a lot of feelings in these children, "Sister Wanniang, you go home to save your relatives, but you dragged the entire Zhenjiang clan back to your husband, this is the credit." And the two good sisters of Su Niang and Qiong Niang have also been helping their husbands keep an eye on the ・・・・・・ at the six doors"
Lu Wanyan nodded, and was about to speak, but heard laughter coming from behind her: "A few ladies are slapping each other's asses here, aren't they too embarrassed?" I can't listen to it anymore. ”
"Husband." Lu Wanyan and the others didn't dare to be rude, and hurriedly stood up.
"Okay, okay," Ye Yingwu walked into the pavilion, and several of his children also gathered around, Ye Yingwu reached out and picked up the youngest second girl, "Second girl, daddy is not happy to hug it." ”
"Happy!" The second girl of the Ye family smiled, and saliva flowed down the corners of her mouth, "I want my father to hug, my father is the best." ”
And Lu Wanyan and Qiqin glanced at each other, and they couldn't help laughing, Su Niang shook her head and looked at Qiong Luan on the side and said, "Qiong Niang, you also gave birth to a little sycophant." ”
Ye Yingwu put the child down and walked to Lu Wanyan's side, Wanniang subconsciously reached out to cover her lower abdomen, there was a little life there, and the surrounding Su Niang and they all cast envious glances. Ye Yingwu gently supported Lu Wanyan, stretched out his hand and gently covered Lu Wanyan's hand: "Shouldn't you give birth to a daughter for your husband this time?" ”
"Which of these can be decided by the concubine?" Lu Wanyan suddenly snorted.
And Ye Yingwu nodded her nose: "Our Wanniang is the queen of the world, if you want to say that you want a little princess, God, does he dare not agree?" ”
Lu Wanyan chuckled: "You are the emperor, you are the biggest." ”
"If so-and-so is the biggest word, then there won't be so many worries," Ye Yingwu couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It just so happens that there is something I want to ask ・・・・・・."
Lu Wanyan stretched out her finger and pressed Ye Yingwu's mouth, and said softly: "Today, a few sisters finally stopped doing your work, so don't bother them with political affairs, let everyone accompany the children well." ”
"Why is Wan Niang so confident that it is a political matter?" Ye Yingwu was suddenly a little surprised.
Lu Wanyan stretched out her hand to cut the tip of her haircut, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the concubine, it seems that there is nothing else that can make you frown, besides, the concubine is added as the pillow person of the husband, if you can't even see this, then you will be too ashamed of the husband." ”
Ye Yingwu was silent for a moment, but nodded, Lu Wanyan just found a reason to excuse herself, in fact, she also had the intention of avoiding suspicion, after all, what can make Ye Yingwu worry and worry must be related to those dishonest families, although the Zhenjiang Lu family is on Ye Yingwu's side this time, but after all, it is also a family, and there has been a capricious history before, so Lu Wanyan simply picked up his decision-making in this matter.
"Actually, Wanniang, you don't have to be like this, if even you doubt it, then what else is there to be like this emperor?" Although Ye Yingwu's voice was not high, he was very firm, and looked at Lu Wanyan solemnly.
Lu Wanyan's heart was warm, and she said with a smile: "I am willing to be a winged bird in heaven, and I am willing to be a branch on the ground, the promise that the husband made to the concubine at that time, the concubine believes that the husband will never break it." Since the concubine has entered the Ye family, she is the Ye family, and of course she will not do anything to be sorry for her husband. It's just that the concubine is still the queen of the Ming Dynasty, and every word she says represents not a weak woman. The husband can not care about what the concubine says is right or wrong, but it doesn't mean that others don't care. ”
