Inside the Imperial Study.

Although Yu Keyuan knelt down to plead guilty, his attitude was very resolute, and he didn't care at all about what trouble such a stubbornness would bring to himself.

Qi Yu looked at Yu Keyuan, who was standing upright and kneeling, and suddenly remembered that after a feast, he took out many calligraphy and paintings from the past dynasties and asked the Japanese lecturers to write poems and inscriptions. Zhu Qing wrote poems one after another, but Yu Keyuan wrote poems himself, but asked others to write the title on his behalf.

He was puzzled, so he asked why.

Yu Keyuan bowed his hand and pleaded guilty: "The minister's words are clumsy, and he is afraid of insulting the masterpiece, so he asked others to write it on his behalf, and asked His Majesty to punish him." ”

At that time, he felt that this was a rare honest and loyal person, so instead of blaming him, he immediately wrote the four big words "Blame Chen Shan" and gave it to him.

However, since Zhang Shoufu rebuked him for indulging in calligraphy, and admonished him with the historical lessons of Empress Li and Song Huizong who died because of their indulgence in this way, he rarely wrote, let alone gave it to his courtiers......

Qi Yu sighed, stepped forward to help Yu Keyuan with both hands, and said, "Yu Aiqing, please get up quickly." ”

Yu Keyuan was stunned by the emperor's sudden favor, and after getting up in a daze, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." ”

Qi Yu sighed and said, "Fang Cai is a last resort, and please don't take it to heart in Yu Aiqing." ”

Yu Keyuan bowed his hand and said "don't dare", but he was really confused in his heart.

Hit a mallet to give a sweet date, which one is Your Majesty singing?

Qi Yu stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the northwest, and sighed: "Whether to fight or defend, there are endless arguments in the court." I know that it is impossible to go to war, but it is not advisable to stick to it.

"The Crimea has now unified most of Gaochang's territory, and if it is faced with its intrusion at this time, the soldiers of the Great Qi will not be able to retreat, which will undoubtedly fuel its arrogance. I am afraid that after the Crimea completely annexes his brother's tribe, the two countries will inevitably have a fierce war.

"Although Daqi is not afraid of war, he is only afraid that when the border war is raging, the soldiers and border people will suffer......

"Therefore, I resolutely fought the main battle, not for the sake of fighting, but for the sake of not blindly sticking to it.

"Can Yu Aiqing understand my good intentions?"

Yu Keyuan didn't expect the emperor to say such heartfelt words to him, he was shocked, his heart was very excited, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty cares about the border people, and is generous and benevolent, which is really the blessing of the country!" ”

Qi Yu looked relieved and sighed with a smile: "I have just wronged Aiqing." ”

Yu Keyuan hurriedly said "don't dare", but compared to the previous pure respect, at this time he was a little more sincere.

"I don't know what the 'compromise method' said by Yu Aiqing, please don't hesitate to give advice." Qi Yu sincerely asked.

"I don't dare." Yu Keyuan hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "The minister thinks that it is better to find out the enemy's situation first, set up an ambush in advance, lure the troops to attack, and finish the battle in one battle." Although it cannot completely annihilate the Crimea, it can serve as a deterrent.

"In this way, the border will be stable for several years, and the court will not be noisy because of this."

In Yan'an, the border can be smoothly implemented.

Qi Yu high-fived and said: "Yu Aiqing's words are very heartfelt! ”

After a pause, he sighed again: "It's just that most of the courtiers are advocating sticking to it at the moment, and Yuanfu has repeatedly advised me to edict the British duke, ordering him to stick to Jiayu Pass and not to fight." Therefore, such a compromise method may not be implemented.

"If it is to be implemented, I am afraid that it can only be secretly ordered to act according to the British public. For this reason, above the court, I can't retreat for the time being.

"Does Yu Aiqing understand?"

The emperor gave such an explanation, Yu Keyuan was grateful in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely keep today's words." It's just that I don't know when His Majesty plans to issue the edict to the British duke, and who will be sent to deliver the edict? ”

Qi Yu sighed: "This matter is not trivial, and Rong Zhen is thoughtful and skillful, and then make a decision." ”

When his thoughts matured, Zhang Chi and Zhang Lan should have arrived at Jiayuguan with the elite of the 1,000 Royal Forest Army and his secret order, and began to deploy calmly.

……

Feng Lin was free, so he informed Feng Yongting of what happened in the imperial study.

After going down the court the next day, Feng Yongting stopped Zhang Gui and told him about it one by one.

After hearing this, Zhang Gui frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this is still a master of the battle......

Feng Yongting nodded and said, "Your Majesty is young, his blood is strong, and it is normal for him to fight bravely. At present, most of the courtiers advocate sticking, and there are even more empress dowagers who advise from time to time, but I am afraid that Your Majesty will not last long.

"It's just that this matter is not trivial. Feng Lin said that Yu Xiu proposed a 'compromise method', but when he failed to put forward it, he was interrupted because of His Majesty's anger. Yu Xiu is your student, is Master Zhang ......"

Zhang Gui frowned and said, "After going down, the official will send someone to invite him." ”

Feng Yongting responded with a smile.

In officialdom, teachers and students have always been one of the closest relationships, and if Yu Keyuan rebels, it will be very disadvantageous to the main defenders.

Even his own students have to oppose it, how can Jang Gyu ask others to believe him?

……

After Zhang Gui returned home, he sent someone to invite Yu Keyuan to come.

Yu Keyuan had expected this, so he was calm and went to the meeting calmly.

After the greetings, Zhang Gui asked, "I heard that His Majesty scolded you in the imperial study yesterday?" ”

Yu Keyuan handed over the things in front of him one by one.

Seeing that he said the same thing as Feng Yongting, Zhang Gui nodded and asked again: "Then your 'compromise method', does Your Majesty agree to it?" ”

Yu Keyuan's heart froze, and he replied: "Your Majesty...... It seems that he still wants to play. ”

This answer is not a deception of the teacher.

After all, the emperor's intention was to emulate Taizu and annihilate Gaochangguo in one fell swoop.

Zhang Gui thought that the emperor did not agree with the compromise method he proposed, so he breathed a sigh of relief and taught earnestly: "You are still young, you don't know that there are some things in this world, and there is no room for compromise at all. ”

For example, he strongly advocated sticking to Gao Changguo, and another example is the new decree he is about to implement.

"Don't be so aggressive in the future. The power of the sky is unpredictable, so be cautious. Zhang Gui nodded.

Yu Keyuan hurriedly replied: "Thank you for the teacher's teachings, and the students will remember it." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Gui nodded with satisfaction.

……

When Qi Yu was busy in the palace, Huang Yi'an's life was very leisurely and comfortable.

Knowing that Zhang Tan had asked Feng Yongting to cross out her name from the final list, and seeing that Zheng Yuyan had successfully attracted the attention of Princess Shouyang and Mama Qing at the snow appreciation meeting, seeing that she was getting farther and farther away from the fate of her previous life, the boulder that had been pressed on her heart since her rebirth was finally completely removed.

After relieving himself, Huang Yi'an concentrated on preparing to go to the northwest to plant cotton.

The day before yesterday, Zhang Xi brought her a letter, which Zhang Lan sent back from the road, saying that they had arrived safely in the northwest and were only more than a hundred miles away from Jiayuguan. He also said that after arriving at Jiayuguan, if he fought with the people of Kerimu, he would definitely capture a few Gaochang soldiers alive and help her inquire about long-staple cotton.

Huang Yi was grateful.

Therefore, taking advantage of the sunny weather and snow, she went to visit the pregnant Qi family in the western suburbs of the grange with the Wang family, and by the way, she also carefully discussed with Huang Lun about planting cotton in the northwest in the coming year.
