Chapter 259: Unstable Backyard

When Wu Zixu returned to Wu State, he was immediately treated coldly by his husband. Originally, Bo Yao wanted Yang Zilu to make small moves on the edge of Zhejiang, but after the husband heard that Wu Zixu entrusted his son to Bao Mu, Wu Zixu had lost the last bit of trust in the husband's mind. If it weren't for Wu Zixu's hard work, I'm afraid that the husband would have killed Wu Zixu a long time ago.

But even so, Wu Zixu was treated coldly like never before, even if Wu Zixu and his husband scolded each other before, they had never tried to do so. Wu Zixu was appointed by his husband as the general of the rear army, but what is the official position of this rear army general?

In fact, to put it bluntly, he was a grain transportation officer, and the husband asked Wu Zixu to stay in Gusu City to be responsible for the mobilization of grain, grass and transportation. It stands to reason that Wu Zixu stayed in Gusu City, and he should also assist the prince. But for this power, Fu almost seems to have no memory at all, and he exploited Wu Zixu's power almost completely, leaving Wu Zixu with the right to transport military rations.

Of course! If the power to transport grain was in the hands of someone like Bo Ya, perhaps it would be a happy thing. Military rations! Naturally, it is not a stone of grain to set off, it is still a stone of grain to be transported to the front line, and it is eaten by the people and escort soldiers along the way, as well as those that are dumped halfway, fall into the river, damp and moldy, and so on. And there are 70,000 troops on the front line, even if they find a few excuses to deduct some, they are worth ten years of income for a doctor.

But Wu Zixu is not Bo Yao, he is like Huang Zhong in the Three Kingdoms period, he is not old. It can be said that the order of the husband can be said to have broken Wu Zixu's heart thoroughly.

However, the husband didn't care, and when he was leaving, he didn't forget to tell his son Prince You to supervise the construction of Gusutai instead of Bo Yao. The previous construction of Gusutai took 30,000 people. Even if it was because of the war, Fucha only transferred 10,000 people from these people, and left 20,000 people to build Gusutai, which was an unprecedented pressure on Wu's financial and material resources.

Faced with the fact that at this time, he still did not give up and left 20,000 people to come to build Gusutai, hoping to live in Gusutai as soon as possible, Wu Zixu's already broken heart died directly.

However, there are still people who advise the husband, and this person is the son of the husband, the prince. Although Prince You is not a wise and martial person, he also knows that it is inappropriate to restrict the construction of Gusutai. But Bo Yao had no choice but to make a hindrance from it, and Wu Zixu, who was the main force of persuasion in the past, was already mourning more than dying, and directly ignored the actions of his husband. The prince was unable to support himself, and in the end, the persuasion was naturally unsuccessful, and he was severely reprimanded by his husband, but he only admitted his mistake.

When this news reached the Han Kingdom, Yang Zilu couldn't help but sigh to Wen Chong: "The Wu State has such a monarch, even if it achieves hegemony, it will not last long!" ”

Wen Chong also nodded his head deeply and said: "What the lord said is very true, the minister sees that the lord should now reorganize the armament!" ”

Yang Zilu said calmly: "Don't worry, the Wu army mobilized troops and horses and went north to arrive in Lu State, which is estimated to be around late August to early September, and Qi State was once a hegemonic country." The foundation is still very thick! Wu did not defeat the Qi army so easily, and I think this war will last for a month, to say the least. In addition, as Zigong said, this guy is so happy, and he will definitely go north and compete with the Jin State for the position of hegemon! With such a long period of time, why should we be in a hurry? Wait until the autumn harvest is over to train soldiers! ”

When Wen Chong heard this, he laughed at himself: "The minister is not calm enough!" ”

Yang Zilu soothed: "Wu is a big country in the end, tension is inevitable, everything is normal when you go down." Well! In addition, send someone to tell Xia You to get ready! This sneak attack on Wu State, their task of the boat division is not light! ”

"No!" Wen Chong replied and withdrew.

Yang Zilu looked up at the north, and after a long time, he said, "Remnant bamboo!" ”

"The minister is here! I don't know what is going on in the Lord? In an inconspicuous corner, a remnant bamboo dressed in black walked out with an expressionless face.

"How's he doing?" Yang Zilu asked in a deep voice, although Gou Jian has become very low-key in both life and work since he was defeated by himself, and even Bo Yao has never been contacted.

At least Yang Zilu did not find that Gou Jian had sent someone to contact Bo Ya in Gusu City. But Yang Zilu will not ignore the threat of Gou Jian because of this, he has watched a lot of TV series, but he knows how endurable and dangerous Gou Jian is, he is simply a poisonous snake hidden deeply.

Remnant Zhu thought for a while, and then said: "If you go back to the Lord, although Gou Jian is low-key, the minister can still find out that he is secretly training a strong army. And this strong army is drawn from the children of the family who follow him, as well as the children of the public office, a total of 1,000, called the army of gentlemen. Moreover, throwing away the previous training, the 1,000 people of Goujian were not equipped with military vehicles, but complete infantry. Chen Yin, a famous archer in the Yue country, taught bow and arrow. In addition, I don't know where a swordsman was invited to teach swordsmanship, but this person is very mysterious, and the minister only heard that she is a woman. And after Gou Jian saw his swordsmanship, he named this woman Yue Nu! ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, his face changed slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "Is it the will of heaven?" The widow actually forgot about Ah Qing! ”

"A-Qing?" Remnant Zhu muttered, looked up at Yang Zilu and asked, "The lord said that this Yue girl's name is Ah Qing?" ”

"Well, if she is really Ah Qing, then she is still your senior sister!" Yang Zilu smiled, but it was a wry smile, he has been thinking about finding talents, especially talents who can handle government affairs, but he has ignored the technical masters. Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that there are many barbarians in the Han Kingdom, they are extremely brave, and there are countless brave people, so Yang Zilu didn't go to these brave people, but now Yang Zilu regrets it, although this regret is a little late.

"Oh! Is it? But whether she is the senior sister of the minister or not, as long as she is the enemy of the lord, then she is the enemy of the minister! Remnant Zhu said expressionlessly, his voice was chilling.

Yang Zilu didn't listen carefully to Remnant Zhu's words, thought for a moment, and ordered the officer on duty of the Yulin Army outside: "Go and pass on the ape!" ”

"No!" The officer replied respectfully.

Originally, the ape was in Jiukui City, but according to the ape father's words, he was reluctant to leave his hometown, and Yang Zilu did not force it. But when the news of Zheng Dan's joy came, the ape prince moved into the Han Palace on the grounds that he had never seen a big city. Yang Zilu naturally knew what this meant, but he smiled bitterly at it.

In fact, for his harem, Yang Zilu lacks too effective management methods, and of course there is no way. Now the harem is chaotic, but because of the problem of the heir, as long as Yang Zilu establishes the prince, all problems are floating clouds. But Yang Zilu didn't want to establish Yang Che as the crown prince, not that Yang Zilu didn't like Yang Che's son.

But now Yang Che is too young, and Yang Zilu doesn't know how much he can do in the future. In Yang Zilu's opinion, he wants to choose a son for his country who has the potential to become a strong emperor Han Wu to become the heir. Even if he doesn't have the potential to become a strong emperor and Han Wu, he should at least be the most outstanding of his many sons.

While thinking about it, the ape man had arrived, but the ape man had not yet entered the main hall, and the loud voice had already come. "Zilu, what are you looking for me to do with this old bone?"

"Bold! How can you call the name of the Lord! When Remnant Zhu heard this, his face immediately turned dark, and he scolded angrily. didn't regard the other party as his master at all, of course, this has something to do with Yang Zilu's instillation of a lot of chauvinism in this guy Remnant Zhu.

When the ape prince who had just crossed the threshold heard this, his face immediately turned dark, and he sneered: "You are still an old man's apprentice!" And Zilu is my grandson-in-law, the old man can call him whatever he likes, how can you be an old man? ”

Yang Zilu couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this, raised her hand, patted the arm of the remnant bamboo, and persuaded: "Okay! Stand down! ”

"No!" Although Remnant Zhu was not angry, but Yang Zilu had no choice but to say so, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.

"Humph! Boy, you're still young! "When the remnant bamboo walked by the ape. Ape Gong did not miss the opportunity to strike at the remnant bamboo.

Although Remnant Zhu wanted to refute, when he saw Yang Zilu giving him a look, he had no choice but to endure this evil breath and retreat without saying a word.

And when Yang Zilu heard the words of the ape, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching. Some people are worried about the anger of the ape, of course, Yang Zilu also knows that the anger of the ape is not actually coming at the remnant bamboo, but at himself. This is naturally inseparable from the heir issue that Yang Zilu has been quite distressed about recently.

"Someone is here!" Yang Zilu could only think that he couldn't see through the intention of the ape, and pretended to be stupid and ordered to the guards outside.

"No!" Immediately, two soldiers joined forces to carry a Taishi chair in.

However, the ape didn't give Yang Zilu face at all, pulled the cushion on the Taishi's chair, spread it on the ground, and said expressionlessly: "No need, the old man prefers to be more traditional, just kneel and sit!" ”

Yang Zilu found a hint from it, 'tradition'! The ape prince was not talking about the question of sitting on a chair or kneeling, but he was knocking on the side to attack Yang Zilu for tradition and to establish the eldest son as the prince.

Yang Zilu frowned, he didn't like this feeling, his relatives interfering in government affairs was a big taboo in Yang Zilu's opinion, Wang Mang jumped from his relatives to the emperor at the beginning. If it weren't for Wang Mang's improper handling, which led to the stimulation of contradictions, perhaps there would not have been the later Eastern Han Dynasty.

Yang Zilu didn't want a character like Wang Mang and Li Mang to appear in his Han Kingdom. So Yang Zilu bluntly crossed the words of the ape father, and asked straight to the point: "Grandpa, Ah Qing is your disciple, right?" ”

The ape seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Yang Zilu's attitude, and immediately said with a childish face: "It seems to be!" It doesn't seem to be! ”

"She is now working for Gou Jian, I hope that grandpa can let her come to Han, and I can also make her a Han girl!" Yang Zilu ignored the words of the ape man a little.

"Since she has chosen this path, the old man, who is a master, is not easy to interfere with!" Ape Gong said dissatisfiedly.

"Well, that's good!" Yang Zilu said expressionlessly.

Ape Gong also felt a little bad at this time, but he didn't expect that this bad thing would come so quickly. Yang Zilu stood up and shouted outside: "Where is the female history?" ”

"The minister is here!" Immediately walked outside like a palace maid in her forties, because Yang Zilu opposed the use of internal servants, so many positions were also changed. For example, this female history was originally a female official next to the queen. However, Yang Zilu changed to be by his side, to put it bluntly, he is the secretary, but this secretary is only responsible for the small things of the monarch in the palace.

"The widow is going to the lady tonight?" Yang Zilu asked.

"It's Mrs. Little Fox!" The female historian responded respectfully.

"The widow looks at Mrs. Little Fox is a little tired during this time, so I don't need him, let Mrs. Little Fox have a good rest this month, and let Mrs. Xi Shi replace Mrs. Little Fox's time!" Yang Zilu said expressionlessly.

"You! Yang Zilu, you are so good! When the ape heard this, he couldn't help but be ashamed and angry, and strode away with a flick of his sleeves.

Yang Zilu just looked at the back of the ape with an expressionless face, which became a stark contrast to the nervous female history. But is Yang Zilu really expressionless? The fist in the long sleeve clenched it tightly, and the nails pierced the skin, but Yang Zilu still didn't notice it.

After a long time, Yang Zilu found out that the female history had not left, or it should be said that the female history did not dare to leave without Yang Zilu's order. Yang Zilu sat in the chair and said indifferently: "Stand down!" ”

"No!" The female historian gave a salute to Shi Ran, who had been granted amnesty, and immediately left quickly.

Yang Zilu nodded, looked at his blood-stained palm, and muttered, "Could it be that this is the emperor?" A hand of blood, ruthless. Alas! I've changed ......."

Yang Zilu shouted outside after half a sound: "Go to Shenyu Palace!" ”

"No!" The female officers outside and the soldiers of the Yulin Army immediately responded in unison.

The Shenyu Palace is the place where Xi Shi lives, because Xi Shi has the beauty of the sinking fish, so Yang Zilu named it after it.

Xi Shi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Yang Zilu coming, but he still bowed slightly to Yang Zilu and said, "Xi Shi welcomes the Lord!" ”

"Don't be on the master, how good it is to call your husband!" Yang Zilu got out of the carriage, walked over with a smile, and gently hugged Xi Shi's thin waist.

Xi Shi keenly noticed that Yang Zilu's hand was wrapped in a white towel, and couldn't help asking, "Husband, your hand?" ”

"It's nothing, I just accidentally cut the porcelain! Nothing is a problem! Yang Zilu said disappreciably.

But Xi Shi looked at Yang Zilu fixedly, and Yang Zilu was embarrassed, so he smiled and said, "Go in and say!" ”

Walking into the Shenyu Palace, Xi Shi walked to Yang Zilu and sat down, lay on Yang Zilu's chest, and said complainingly: "Husband, are you deceiving each other, is this a husband and wife?" ”

Yang Zilu smiled, hugged Xi Shi, who looked like a kitten, and apologized: "It's me who is wrong, Yiguang, don't be annoyed!" ”
