Chapter 536: The Imperial Expedition
Yan Chen finally couldn't resist Shangguan Yu, and slept on the bed by himself, but fortunately, the dormitory was covered with wooden floors, and there were many quilts, so it was not cold to sleep on the ground, so Shangguan Yu dealt with it on the ground all night.
When it was not cold, he was woken up by a few eunuchs outside talking in a low voice, Shangguan Yu got up quietly and opened the door, only to see that it was Xia Mi at the door, arguing with the two eunuchs.
Shangguan Yu asked, "Xia Xiaomi, are you a heart?" Don't you know that today is my big day? In the middle of the night, I still have to mess around. ”
Xia Xiaomi said: "It's not the middle of the night, it's almost dawn, I'm here to tell you something, Rouran has violated my border, and has advanced to the territory of the country for two hundred miles, and the urgent war report has just been delivered to my house." Are you willing to get up early in the morning to look for you? You see what to do, right? ”
Xia Xiaomi said and handed him the battle report.
Rouran? Shangguan Yu said in his heart, how can it be similar to the ancient times of my country, and the earth also had a soft in ancient times. I remember that the story about Mulan is about fighting against Rouran.
But on second thought, it's not surprising that this is a replica of Earth, and many places are the same.
Shangguan Yu pondered for a while, and said: "Small stool, small table, you two quickly organize manpower, and separately convene the ministers and generals to discuss the matter!" ”
The two eunuchs promised to go, but they were stopped by Xia Xiaomi, and said: "No need to go, when I came, I already ordered people to shout, at most half an hour, the ministers should be able to arrive." ”
"Then let's go," Shangguan Yu said that he was about to leave, Xia Xiaomi looked at the dormitory, Shangguan Yu came out and closed the door casually, so he couldn't see inside.
Xia Xiaomi said mysteriously: "How is it, can you hold it last night?" ”
"You girl, what are you thinking?" Shangguan Yu glared at her, and then asked Yan Chen: "Queen, you are also here." ”
I only heard Yan Chen say inside: "Your Majesty will go first, and the concubine will come later." ”
Shangguan Yu knew that she must be cleaning up the quilt inside, and she had to put all the quilts on the floor on the bed to prevent the palace maids who would go in to clean up the room from discovering their secrets.
Shangguan Yu and Xia Xiaomi came to the court together, and half of the ministers who had already come at this time had to stand up and salute when they saw Shangguan Yu coming, Shangguan Yu waved his hand and said, "Sit down, gather everyone so early, don't complain." ”
The ministers said: "State affairs are important, and personal hard work is not worth mentioning." ”
After a while, Empress Yan Chen also came, sat beside Shangguan Yu, and waited for a while, and the ministers of civil and military affairs arrived one after another.
Shangguan Yu said: "Northern Rouran, a large-scale invasion of our country, do you have any good plans?" ”
A civil official said: "Your Majesty, my Great Xia has been decided, there are all kinds of waste to be rebuilt, there is not enough money and food, and the country is also poor and weak, so it is difficult to send troops to fight. The minister thought that it would be better to send an envoy to sue for peace. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a military general stood up and shouted, "What kind of are you calling!" The enemy has come in, and you still ask for peace? Do you think Rouran will make peace with you? You old man from the past dynasty, go home if you are afraid of death, don't be embarrassed here! ”
"You, you ......" The scolded civil official was speechless.
Shangguan Yu signaled everyone not to quarrel, state affairs are important, and they will discuss it. Next, there are those who negotiate peace, and there are also those who fight the main battle, and in general, the main battle is the majority.
Shangguan Yu finally concluded: "Those ministers of the Lord and the Lord, I want to warn you not to have this kind of greed for life and fear of death again? Otherwise, resign and go home. ”
The ministers who said that they were ashamed, Shangguan Yu looked around at everyone, stood up and said, "I ......"
Everyone stood up and waited for Shangguan Yu to give an order.
"I decided to drive the expedition in person, and the Northern Expedition was Rouran! Summer Millet ......"
"The minister is here!" Xia Xiaomi said with a serious look, usually laughing with Shangguan Yu, but above the court, he is very serious.
"I ordered you to be the general of the expedition to the north and go out with the car!"
"Obey the order!"
"Dragon beard, Tufeng, the two of you will also go with the car."
"Your Ministers obey!"
"Queen's ......"
"The concubine is here."
Shangguan Yu looked at her and said, "The country is decided, and the capital is equally important, so you can stay and guard the capital." ”
"Your Majesty, I want to go on the expedition with you," Yan Chen said, his eyes full of anticipation.
Shangguan Yu held her hand and said, "Queen, the two of us are one, I am going out to fight, you are not guarding at home, you have to go with me, who do you say will come to see this family?" Don't worry, I'll be back when I go. ”
Shangguan Yu thought in his heart, just taking the opportunity to go out to fight, he could avoid Yan Chen, maybe this war, while fighting, the portal appeared?
So his idea is good, but the reality is cruel.
Yan Chen had no choice but to stay and guard the capital, and Shangguan Yu appointed her as the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, taking charge of the military power of the whole country and guarding the defense of the capital.
And explained that Yan Long, Yan Hu, Yu Shun and Lu Ji, the four members of the Yan family, would assist Yan Chen to garrison together.
Yan Zhun, the old minister of the former dynasty, that is, Yan Chen's father, in order to let his father and daughter work together in the same dynasty, sent people to ask him to send envoys many times, and in the end, Yan Zhun was reluctant, and finally agreed to enter the court as an official, and Shangguan Yu made him the prime minister.
For Shangguan Yu to be so powerful in favor of the Yan family, many ministers are quite slight, but Shangguan Yu insists on doing this, because he has been thinking about it for a long time, in case he leaves one day, Yan Chen will be able to hold the power without caring about the threats of others.
And Shangguan Yu has a deep premonition, he may have to take it here for a long time this time, in case he can't leave, he will have to complete the husband and wife ceremony with Yan Chen, and he will have children, and after having children, he will inherit his throne.
In case one day he can suddenly go again, and the child may not be able to leave, laying a solid foundation for the Yan family and providing protection for the child in the future.
However, he said that Shangguan Yu had assigned the expedition and the people left behind, and said: "Tufeng, Longxu, you two will immediately transfer five thousand elite horsemen." ”
Tu Feng said: "Your Majesty, is 5,000 people enough?" Too little, right? ”
Shangguan Yu said: "I want to act fast, the more people, the slower I go, I am too much for five thousand, it is only soft, not enough to worry about it, you can go quickly, I am waiting to use it, at the latest, at the latest, I must go on the expedition this afternoon at the latest!" ”
Shangguan Yu was anxious, and he was about to leave in the afternoon, and Tu Feng and Long Xu went separately to prepare.
The strength of the above official Yu, in fact, does not need to bring people, and can also kill and retreat enemy soldiers, and bringing 5,000 people is purely for show.
Yan Chen was reluctant to give up Shangguan Yu's ability to bring 5,000 people to look good, so she didn't feel worried about her safety at the same time, but she was reluctant to let him go.
Before leaving, he repeatedly explained to Xia Xiaomi: "This is a long way, my sister can take care of Brother Yu." ”
Xia Xiaomi said: "Sister, don't worry,"
By the time lunch was over, the expedition was ready to go.
