Chapter 417: Second Round (3)
For Liu Yu, some things are too troublesome to solve, and he closes his eyes and heads are mush. The enemy hiding behind him was enough to annoy him, and now Wu You came running to scare him again.
"Everything just let it be." Liu Yue thought about it, "They can do whatever they want, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth." ”
After making this decision, Liu Yu was relieved to preside over the gong and singing in Jinchangfang in the south of the city, and the people in the city were lively, because several major opera gardens in Jinchangfang were free to play, and the people were happy. In Chang'an City, there are still too few entertainment items for ordinary people. Even if he braved the cold wind of winter, he did not refuse the enthusiasm of the people to watch the play.
After the two-day dangerous period predicted by Wu You, Liu Yu was still good and nothing had changed, and the imperial court seemed to have forgotten his existence.
Sui Yi's chess building is booming, from the preparation to the opening of only a few days, and there is no need for any publicity, the official sons of Chang'an City are eager to go, although the scale of the chess building is not large, there are not many girls who can choose to accompany the chess inside, but what the official son wants is fresh and exciting, think about playing chess with a delicate girl, and if she wins, she can hug the beauty, which makes the sons itch in their hearts. In fact, they didn't see it clearly, the rules are not so set, it is not enough to win once, if you want to have something to do with the woman in the chess building, in addition to taking out the silver, you must also win enough games to defeat all the competitors one by one.
The only people who get beauty are those who stand at the top of the food chain. This truth has not changed for a long time.
Huo's soldiers took root outside Chang'an City, neither advancing nor retreating, and no one knew what he was doing when he came back. Su Yan was nervous. He made a holy decree to summon Huo Sick to see him. The envoy did not see Huo himself. The people in the barracks said that Huo was sick and bedridden. The imperial court sent the imperial doctor to inquire, but the imperial doctor still did not see Huo Zhi himself, and it is said that Huo Zhi was already terminally ill.
knew that it was nonsense, but everyone in the court had nothing to do with this bastard.
Soon, the news came back from the border pass, and Hua Ji'an had withdrawn his troops by "edict".
If you don't withdraw early, you won't withdraw late. It's just that when the New Year is approaching and there are a lot of things in the court, I have to come back. The imperial court has not yet discussed the reward for this meritorious soldier. pacified Huainan, but it was just a bunch of generals who were sealed with two marquis, this is called marquis worshipping generals, and good men are fighting desperately just to make meritorious contributions? But this time the Turks were pacified, and the credit was several times greater, but the imperial court was short on money, and it couldn't take out the fief or the money and grain to reward the three armies.
The court also suddenly felt that in fact, Hua Ji'an came back with troops to collect debts.
The debt collector has not yet come, and Hua Ji'an's "confession" has been handed to Chang'an City first. This is called striking first to be strong and then suffering. Hua Ji'an actually expected that he would be settled by the imperial court, and now handing over this confession is to test the attitude of the imperial court. If the imperial court does not announce that the world has pardoned Hua Ji'an's crimes, I am afraid that Hua Ji'an will not bring a group of creditors, but a group of hungry wolves. Hungry wolves that eat people.
Seventy percent of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were under the control of Hua Ji'an, and Hua Ji'an's troops were strong and strong at that time, but the soldiers of the imperial court were old soldiers who had been absent for a long time and couldn't get up on a woman's belly in winter. This battle can't be fought.
"It's time to come, it's still coming."
As the army led by Hua Ji'an approached Tongguan step by step, Su Yan began to have trouble sleeping. Since becoming the emperor, he has been trapped in the city of Xuzhou, and he has never been so anxious. That time, Liu Yu took care of him, and now he can only rely on himself, those ministers in the court, he looks down on them from the bottom of his heart, because compared with Liu Yu's talent, it is almost equal to zero.
"Or put the master ...... Get it back, right? ”
Su Yan looked around at a few people in the front hall of Ya, in addition to a few henchmen of the Young Zhuang faction, there were also Su Bi and Yuan Bolang, and now the left and right ministers were unable to participate in this meeting. Su Yan was afraid, he was afraid that Hua Ji'an would return to Chang'an City, and he would have to be a gangster on the street again, and then Hua Ji'an would become the emperor.
Historically, the usurpers of the country have done this, if he is unlucky, he may not even have the qualifications to be a beggar, and he will go directly to the palace of the king of Hades.
"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done. Liu Wenyan's threat is far above that Huaji'an, if Liu Wenzheng is in power, then how can the emperor be useful? Yuan Bolang said this, in fact, to clarify one point: it was not easy to drive Liu Wenyan, the wolf, out of the court, and then recruit him back is to kill himself.
Although Yuan Bolang is now idle, he still has his status in the eyes of the new emperor, after all, this is the minister appointed by the previous emperor to take care of his life, and Liu Yu, another minister of life, he can't be relied on, if this is abandoned, he is a headless fly.
But Su Yan still felt like a fly that had lost its way.
"Fourth Emperor Sister, what do you see?" Su Yan set his eyes on Su Bi's body.
Su Bi has risen again in the court after her confinement, and her political skills are tough, and she is a figure that the weak Su Yan has to rely on.
Su Bi didn't directly oppose it like Yuan Bolang, but thought about it for a while, and said in a flat tone: "It's better to forgive Hua Ji'an's sin first, and then reward him for merit." Let's go back and see. ”
Su Bi did not say that Liu Wenyan must not be recalled again, she meant to wait and see. first responded to Hua Ji'an's request to eliminate his concerns, if the imperial court really couldn't deal with Hua Ji'an's careerist, then Liu Wenyan was launched to fight with him, and the court took advantage of the fisherman.
Su Yan sighed helplessly, there was no good idea to directly disintegrate the military's threat to the imperial court, unless he could separate the generals from the soldiers, which was almost impossible. Su Yan said: "The imperial court tightened its life a little more, transferred some silver from the household department, and rewarded the meritorious soldiers." This matter ......" Su Yan looked at Yuan Bolang, "It's better for Yuan Xiang to do it." ”
Now that Yuan Bolang is an idler, the imperial court actually sent him as an envoy to reward the three armies, which is a chore. Because the relationship between the court and the military is not good, this trip may also be dangerous.
Yuan Bolang glanced at Su Bi, Su Bi didn't say anything, and after thinking about it again, it seemed that there was no other candidate who was more suitable to replace him, so he nodded and said, "Obey the holy order." ”
Coming out of the Yaqian Palace, Yuan Bolang still felt very tired. I had a good time in Chang'an City. Suddenly, he was asked to go to the envoy camp to reward the three armies. Facing the unauthorized Hua Ji'an. Yuan Bolang really didn't know if he could hold back his stinky temper and scolded on the spot. He thought about it again, if Hua Ji'an saw that the money and food sent to reward the three armies did not meet the requirements, he might directly put on a face and ask the court for it.
"Yuan Xiang is leaving Chang'an City, cherish it all the way." Subi said to him.
Yuan Bolang glanced at Su Bi, in fact, he had always thought that Su Bi would do something for him just now, and let those young Zhuang factions complete this errand instead. Now they are still on one front.
"The affairs of Chang'an City still depend on His Royal Highness Xinzhujun." Yuan Bolang replied.
Neither of them spoke much.
Now that the world is calm, Chang'an City is in an eventful time. If the threat of the military to the imperial court can be solved, then the Dashun Dynasty can be regarded as truly stable. That day may seem near, but not necessarily.
"Something else." Approaching to leave the palace gate, Yuan Bolang suddenly said to Su Bi, who was traveling with him, "Take good care of the princes and grandsons of Chang'an City, so as not to make a mess ......"
Su Bi paused a little and thought about it, and immediately understood Yuan Bolang's intentions.
If Hua Ji'an was really ready to rebel, he would not be stupid enough to set himself up as the emperor, and it would be very dangerous to change the dynasty, and it would be easy to disagree with the court and the people. And if Hua Ji'an wants to rebel. The best way is nothing more than to support a certain prince and grandson of Chang'an City as a puppet, and then try to replace him in the future. Su Bi glanced back at Yuan Bolang. Now these princes and grandsons are quite honest, if you want to solve the troubles, is it possible to kill all these people?
It's a pity that Yuan Bolang has left the palace gate without stopping, and Su Bi can't ask clearly.
Su Bi wanted to catch up and ask, but thinking about the situation, it shouldn't be so bad, and it was not too late to wait for Yuan Bolang to come back and discuss it. He didn't know that this was the last time she saw Yuan Bolang, and Yuan Bolang never returned to Chang'an City.
…………
It's already time to turn on the lights.
Lanterns began to be hung at various gates of the court. There was only one burning red brazier in the Yaqian Palace, and Gonggong Wu came in and wanted to light a few lamps in the house, but Su Yan waved his hand and said, "No need, I want to be quiet." ”
Seeing that Su Yan has been the emperor for a year and a half, although he has learned a lot in more than a year, he has not yet become a true holy monarch, the busier he is, the more he misses the days when he had nothing to do in the market. Gambling money, fighting crickets, listening to book jokes, or going to peek at which little daughter-in-law is taking a bath...... Those are much more interesting than being an emperor, spring breeze and autumn rain, winter and summer, the more he misses the past life, the more he feels the burden on his shoulders, especially after breaking away from Liu Yu's control in the past six months.
"Why did my father choose me to be the emperor?" Thinking of this, Su Yan inevitably asked himself.
Gonggong Wu cautiously stepped forward and reminded, "Your Majesty, it's night." You promised Yimeiren last night that you would go over and play chess with her today. ”
Su Yan looked listlessly at Gonggong Wu, thinking of Cao Yi, what he thought was very interesting suddenly was not very interesting. With a sword hanging over his head, what mood do you have to play chess with a beauty again, and play in the water with mandarin ducks?
When he first saw Cao Yi, he was indeed amazed, but at that time, he had just become an emperor and had never seen a beautiful woman with a beautiful country, and he was more of a greedy desire for Cao Yi that he could not get and wanted, and he wanted to break free from Liu Yu's shackles in his heart. Now that he got it, he felt that it was nothing more than that, compared with Xiaoyu's virtuous and sensible, Cao Yi was more like a wild flower with thorns.
"I'm not going, I'm ...... today Tired. Su Yan said, "Trouble Gonggong Wu to pass it on." ”
Gonggong Wu was a little embarrassed, he was the kind of good man, and he tried his best to tie up Cao Yi, the emperor's new favorite and new palace. Few eunuchs in the palace can die well, and he doesn't want to offend people to the point of harming himself.
"Your Majesty, Yimei said, if you have anything unhappy, you can go over and talk to her. She has prepared tips for you, Your Majesty. ”
"What's a tip?" Su Yan frowned, and then thought about it, when he listened to the jokes in the past, it seemed that those legendary wise men were able to anticipate things like gods, and would write their plans in the bag, and then the matter could be easily resolved according to the tips of the bag.
Su Yan's heart suddenly ignited hope, and said, "That's ...... Hurry up and take a look......" said he had already gotten off the kang and began to put on his shoes. (To be continued......)
