Chapter 140: Like a Dream

Second, Yuan Jiasan really fell ill, Ye Zhao approved his excerpt, and then promoted Zhou Jingshan to deputy prime minister, and the six-discussion political pattern became five-discussion.

Zheng Zewu fought in the battlefield of southern Anhui, although Miao Peilin's Miao family army claimed to be more than 100,000 people, in fact, most of them were rabble, and in southern Anhui it was even more angry and resentful, and the Pingyuan army arrived, coupled with proper publicity, the people rose up to "follow the south to fight jackals" people abound.

Miao Peilin led his more than 10,000 foreign spear team to retreat to Hefei, and while urgently asking for help from the north, he wrote a secret letter to Ye Zhao asking for surrender, and Ye Zhao would not pay attention to him.

The Shenbao Department crossed the river and attacked Hanyang Mansion, which caused the pressure on Zeng Guofan on the Jingnan battlefield to increase sharply.

The Pingyuan armies on the north bank of the Yangtze River gradually gained a firm foothold.

Han Jinchun in Guangzhou sent a secret telegram again asking for battle, willing to lead 5,000 elites to land in Zhili and attack Yanjing by surprise, not to mention that if he did not take Yanjing City, he would come to see him.

Ye Zhao laughed when he saw it, Brother Han couldn't hold back his energy, but he still had to wait.

The 10,000 newly recruited soldiers in Nanguo were deployed to Guangzhou to mix with Han Jinchun's third town, saying that they were recruits, but in fact, most of them had participated in regimental training and had also been on the battlefield. Han Jin Chunbu naturally has to be used on the blade.

Nowadays, the biggest pressure in the south is finance, but fortunately, whether it is a steel mill or an ordnance factory, it is either Ye Zhao holding or a state-owned industry, but when the war is over, I don't know how much silver will be owed.

In fact, foreign wars can stimulate the development of non-governmental industry and commerce, but the state's finances will inevitably be stretched.

"Railways, or to encourage private investment, the policy seems to be more relaxed." Sitting in the sedan chair that went to the main garden, Ye Zhao thought silently.

Today, he is left with himself in the mansion, Rong'er, Shawa, and Hua Ji all went to Xiaohong Mountain, which was invited by Lan Guiren, but in fact, Zhu Sisi said that she came back, but she temporarily missed the appointment. Ye Zhao sighed in his heart, what about the six wives and concubines? I am often left alone.

However, Reedstake Iori is waiting for him quietly forever, although it has been more than a month since Ye Zhao has not been to this garden.

Sitting on the tatami mat, looking at the kimono beauty who made tea for herself with a quiet face, Ye Zhao felt weird and embarrassed, when he was playing with his family, he never thought of her, every time he was bored, he would come to her for a cup of tea.

"How is your brother? Are you accustomed to eating and living? Ye Zhao asked while sipping tea.

Nowadays, there are students from North Korea and Saiben who come to study in the south, and Iori Watanabe's younger brother Watanabe Ichiro is one of the 30 students who study in this country, and the semester is set for six years, and is still in the stage of learning Chinese, and it is expected that next month, you can enter Jinling Middle School to begin learning the basic subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry.

Originally, this group of foreign students had a foundation in orchid studies, except for Watanabe Ichiro, who wanted to have a lot to do with his identity, the younger brother of the Chinese regent Kabuki, and this relationship was only reported to the royal family and the shogunate as soon as possible.

"Well, he's fine." Reeds, Iori, and her innocent face flashed with a hint of admiration.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Just get used to it, you, you can see him often." "Ichiro Watanabe occasionally comes to see his sister, but he doesn't dare to do it too often.

But today, it is said that Cao Ying Cao Ying will arrive, and the little maid knelt outside the sliding door and muttered a word.

Iori replied a few words.

Ye Zhao asked curiously, "What are you talking about?" ”

Iori said, "Ichiro and his friends came to visit me, and I told him to go back." ”

Ye Zhao said: "That's not necessary, let's go, let's go and meet him together, I haven't seen him for a long time." ”

Iori said a few more words to the little maid, and the little maid immediately retreated.

Every time Watanabe Ichiro came to visit his sister, Iori Aizuki would see him in the reception room of the outer house, and Rong'er in the inner house often came to play, and Iori knew the rules of the Chinese and could not let her brother in.

This time, Ichiro Watanabe came with a friend, a slightly chubby middle-aged man, with a typical face, with a pinch of mustache on his upper lip, but in fact, there are not many people who say that he has a Ren Danhu now, and this face makes Ye Zhao slightly disgusted when he sees it.

In the reception room, Ichiro Watanabe was taken aback when he saw Ye Zhao coming first, hurriedly stood up and bowed, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Regent!" ”

The slightly chubby Yue himself was slightly flustered by Chinese, and hurriedly bowed ninety degrees, speaking stiff Chinese: "Your Royal Highness, I am Tamura Shouichi, the Shogunate Takashi." ”

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, and said in his heart that it was him.

The Gao family is the name of the shogunate samurai official position, and it is the person who presides over major ceremonies.

Ye Zhao sat on the upper seat, Iori Reedsuri sat quietly beside him, Ichiro Watanabe and Mamoichi Tamura knelt down, Mamoru Tamura's eyes flashed with joy, he didn't expect to see the Chinese regent by accident, he came to visit Iori Reed, but he just hoped that Iori Reedsuki could say a few kind words for him in front of the regent.

But the more headache is that the expensive gifts brought to Iori Reedsuki seem to be a little light, I thought she was just a kabuki next to the regent, and she didn't have much weight, and I heard her brother say that she couldn't see the regent often, but when I saw it today, it was obvious that the information was wrong.

"Ichiro, learn some skills, don't just think about dancing knives and guns, that's just a reckless man." Ye Zhao said with a smile, he still has a good impression of this young man.

"Yes, thank you for your teaching!" Ichiro Watanabe hurriedly bowed.

asked a few words about Watanabe Ichiro's study, but in fact, where would Ye Zhao be kind? However, whether it is the book or the DPRK, learning new studies is an inevitable result, but there is no need to cherish oneself with a broom, thinking that if you don't teach others, you can do it once and for all, which is a very naΓ―ve practice.

As he spoke, Ye Zhao looked back at Tamura Shouichi and asked, "You came to see Iori, do you have anything to say to me?" ”

Tamura Shouichi didn't dare to interject, and at this time he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Highness, General Tokugawa of the country has written a letter, and he is willing to assist His Highness in the Northern Expedition with the strength of the whole country, as long as His Highness is in need, the country will recruit a large number of warriors to serve His Highness." ”

Servant Army cannon fodder? Ye Zhao smiled, if you are fighting abroad, it is not bad to recruit Siyi servants to be cannon fodder, but on the land of China, it is better to be exempted.

What's more, how can I have such kindness? The one who changed the law wants to learn through war and equip his own army, right? If the shogunate was to train an extremely effective army, it would inevitably dominate the book and defeat and dismiss the daimyo who were against it, which would greatly defeat their original intentions.

"I have received the heart of the Tokugawa shogun, and the lonely king will write to thank him." Ye Zhao said lightly.

Tamura Shouichi naturally didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly said a few times.

"Iori, you can talk to Ichiro." Ye Zhao got up, and Iori Rei Yue stood up with him, and said a few words to Ichiro Watanabe and Shoichi Tamura, and the two of them respectfully said goodbye.

Back in the inner room by the blue water pool in the back house, Ye Zhao and Wei Yue Iori had dinner, it was already the time of the lamp, the little maid lit the red lantern, and the room was covered with a layer of hazy glow, which was unique.

Under the candlelight, Iori called Mr. Inoue, and in the slightly desolate three-stringed music, Iori reed Yue danced a song for Ye Zhao, with a soft waist and light movements, snow socks lightly lifted, gorgeous dancing, classical and solemn, people can't give birth to a trace of blasphemy, but can only admire its beauty.

After the dance, Wei Yue Iori covered her face with long sleeves and poured wine for Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao smiled and applauded, and said, "It's a good dance." "Raise a glass and drink it all.

The musician Inoue stepped back, and Iori Reeduki said softly: "Sir, you must be tired, just take a hot bath and rest." ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "Okay." ”

From the west door of the dance room, through a long corridor, and then open a wooden door, there is the bathing room. The bath room is divided into two rooms, with a jet bathtub on the outside and a hot spring pool on the inside. Ye Zhao had heard that Jin Feng had built a hot spring room in this style according to what Wei Yue Iori said, which had just been completed a while ago, and it was actually a hot pool, which supplied hot water twenty-four hours a day.

After Ye Zhao took a shower with soap outside, he put on a bath towel and entered the hot spring room, and then couldn't help but praise it.

Across the transparent glass sliding door opposite, the flowers are brondly outside, butterflies and warblers fly, and outside the glazed wall, there are pines and cypresses.

The pool is extremely wide, extending to the front of the glass sliding door, and the water surface has just reached the wooden steps under the glass door.

There are craggy rockeries in the pool, and the spring water bubbles out, if it is winter, the white mist in the room is entangled, and it is really no different from the hot spring pool.

After getting into the water and sitting on the stone steps, Ye Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, the water temperature was slightly hot, but it was just right.

Leaning against the wooden wall, covering his eyes with a white towel, closing his eyes to recuperate, and then listening to the rustling footsteps, it is the unique elegant steps of Iori Reed.

In fact, Ye Zhao knew that Wei Yue Iori would definitely follow, and it was a custom for men and women to bathe together, although Wei Yue Iori had not had such an experience when he entered the art hall since he was a child, he would not feel embarrassed.

So Ye Zhao didn't untie the bath towel around his waist when he went into the water, although taking a bath with this quiet beauty is a way to relax, but he can't meet her sincerely, right?

"Iori, you put on your clothes and come back." Ye Zhao didn't take off the white towel that covered his eyes.

Iori Reedi was visibly stunned for a moment and said, "Yes." ”

Ye Zhao immediately came to his senses and said, "It's not that you are asked to wear formal clothes, just underwear, you call it a shirt, right?" Or find a bath towel and wrap it tightly. ”

Reeding Yue Iori agreed, and after a while, the rustling footsteps went and returned, and then the sound of water sounded softly, and the faint fragrance wafted from the nose, Ye Zhao knew that she was already sitting beside her.

I took off the towel and turned my head to see that Iori Rei Yue was wearing a long white undergarment, which was the simple kimono style, soaked in water, and looked more and more beautiful and lovely.

"Sir, I'll rub your back." As soon as the sound of water sounded, Wei Yue Yiori got up, and when she arrived in front of Ye Zhao, she lowered again, and thought about half-kneeling on the stone steps in the water.

Ye Zhaoxin couldn't help but jump a few times, whoever is in the hot spring, such a beautiful woman kneels in front of you and wants to serve you to take a bath, and her delicate face looks up at you from below, it is extremely difficult not to think about it.

Waving his hand, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Forget it, let's sit down and chat." "This is a real skin-to-skin blind date, Ye Zhaoke is afraid that he can't control it, he likes the quiet feeling of being with Wei Yue Yiori, and he doesn't want to destroy this feeling.

After ten minutes, Ye Zhao asked: "Iori, I have noticed, when you talk to your own countrymen, you always use Chinese and speak from your heart, do you think I am also an aggressor?" ”

After a moment of silence, Iori said, "Iori just doesn't want to forget that he is himself, sir, Iori is your person and will not betray you." ”

Ye Zhao smiled, looked at her sideways, gently touched her hair, and said, "It's serious, I'm just afraid that you will miss home, what is your surname, don't I know yet?" Even if I remove your emperor from power, you will feel sad at most, will you still harm me? ”

Wei Yue Iori was stunned, thinking that the man in front of him had the idea of deposing the current emperor, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Ye Zhao turned around and slowly closed his eyes again.

After a while, Iori said, "What Mr. does, Iori doesn't understand, but if Mr. kills many, many of Iori's hometown, Iori will cry, cry, and pray for them, and if Mr. doesn't like it, Iori will do it." ”

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, reached out and patted her pink little hand gently, and said, "Well, I understand, don't worry, I'm not a butcher." ”

After a while, Ye Zhao opened his eyes and said with a smile: "After soaking for half a day, it's really relieved, it's not too early, let's stay here today." ”

Back in the bedroom, Iori Reedsung had already changed into a new long undergarment, snow-white and solemn, and graceful.

This time, Iori Weiyue spread her thin mattress next to Ye Zhao's thin mattress, and went to blow out the lantern again, and the room was pitch black.

The moonlight sprinkled down, and the room gradually became clearer, Ye Zhao turned his head inadvertently, but saw Wei Yue Iori's black eyes like paint looking at him quietly.

The two of them were very close to each other, and the fragrance of Wei Yue Iori's breath could be gently blown on Ye Zhao's face.

Looking at her, Ye Zhao smiled slightly, lifted the soft blanket on his body, and said, "Come on." ”

Wei Yue Yiori snorted, and her delicate body got into Ye Zhao's soft blanket, Ye Zhao gently hugged her, through the thin snow-white undergarment, she only felt that the beauty was icy and charming, and it was indescribably funny in her arms.

Under the feet, gently touching the slippery snow socks is even more sultry.

Ye Zhao gently kissed her red lips, and Wei Yue Yiori meekly spit out her fragrant tongue and let Ye Zhao suck it.

"Iori, you're going to follow me, do you like it?" Ye Zhao gasped and said next to the snow-white pinna of Weiyue Yiori, with such an interesting beauty in his arms, Ye Zhao couldn't help but feel like fire.

"Iori listens to him." Iori said softly.

Ye Zhao was stunned, then smiled slightly, lightly imprinted a kiss on her ear and neck, lay back on the pillow, hugged her into his arms again, and said, "I'll want you another day." But I suddenly felt that I hadn't touched the heart of the beauty at all, so I occupied this girl with a quiet temperament, which was boring.

Reeds and Ichori are extremely docile, and they don't know what the master is thinking, but they feel that the master likes to touch their snow feet, and a pair of pink little feet gently clamp the ankles of the master, and the body is also tightly attached to the master's arms.

Ye Zhao's body was numb, he smiled bitterly in his heart, kissed her tender face gently, and said softly: "Sleep well, I will be your dearest relative in the future, no matter what unhappy things you encounter, you have to tell me." ”

Iori nodded, leaned on her husband's solid chest, and listened to her husband's gentle words, her heart was peaceful and joyful, as if her heart had also found support.

Lying on Ye Zhao's chest, he fell asleep so quickly for the first time, and in his sleep, he hummed a childhood song in a low voice.

Ye Zhao hugged her, and said in his heart that there is no such poor prince as me in this world, I am afraid that I will have a spring dream tonight, right? Kissed her hair lightly, and slowly closed her eyes.
