Chapter 137: Public and Private
The autumn wind in Liaodong comes earlier than elsewhere, and there is a bit of a killing smell just after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The soldiers in Guangning City have only changed their posts, and they all look hurried when they walk.
Under the city gate is the barracks of the Heng army, the main tent is conspicuous, and the two brothers and sisters in the tent are sitting and reading with a letter.
Both letters were thick and thick, like a chubby bag, clearly marked out between public and private.
Yu Jingning glanced at it twice, stretched out his hand and took the official letter first, Yu Zhiwei didn't grab it, so he had to open the private letter and read it first.
Yu Zhiwei read and read, and suddenly exclaimed, and Yu Jingning looked sideways for a while: "What's the matter?" ”
"Good thing." Yu Zhiwei pressed the letter on the table, and smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Guess." ”
"Can't guess." Yu Jingning took his eyes back and replied truthfully.
Yu Zhiwei rolled her eyes twice, sighed, and said in her heart that this guy was still as boring as ever, and she didn't know where to hold her. Although he thought so in his heart, he honestly told Yu Jingning what was in the letter: "We have another junior." ”
Yu Jingning took his eyes off the letter in his hand, and gave Yu Zhiwei a little more stingily.
Yu Zhiwei shook his head at his stingy gaze: "Sister Yue and Second Brother Tan have a child, they are a little girl, and they are said to be born because they are close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the single name is taken as the word 'Chan'." ”
Hearing her words, Yu Jingning frowned, and after a while, he said, "This month is not right." ”
Tan Huaiyu and Chen Yueyu only got married last year, why did they have children before the Mid-Autumn Festival? But Yu Jingning's days of knowing the two of them are not short, and he knows that Tan Huaiyu is by no means such a calm person.
Yu Zhiwei frowned as soon as he saw him, and knew that this old scholar had something in his mind about the ethical guidelines of "male and female defense", and hurriedly added: "It is said that I didn't suffer from joy and sorrow for a while, and I was born prematurely for more than seven months." ”
Yu Zhiwei had never given birth, but when she saw that she was born prematurely, she still sweated for Chen Yuexing, and her heart hung until she saw that the mother and daughter were safe.
The letter was just such a light sentence, but in fact, there were many dangers hidden - Chen Yuexing was in an improper fetal position at that time, and almost took a small life, and it took two days to give birth. Tan Huaiyu didn't sleep for two nights outside the door, tears and snot flowed down the floor, and the howl was almost louder than Chen Yueyu in the house. Since then, the servants in the family have avoided when they see the second master, and his image as a scholar has been completely ruined.
Tan Chan's little girl couldn't even cry when she was born, and the doctors in the room watched for a long time, and finally she was slapped on the ass by a stable woman and cried.
After a toss, it can be regarded as the safety of mother and daughter.
When Fang talked about great joy and sorrow, Yu Jingning thought of the things in the letter on official business, and smiled bitterly: "Tan Erlang went to Luoyang. It was originally such a matter as Qingzhang land, but it seemed to be more dangerous than leading troops to fight, no wonder Chen San had a toss of joy and sorrow. ”
After going back and forth to get back to business, Yu Zhiwei folded the letter paper in his hand and stuffed it back into the envelope, and asked, "How is the matter in the DPRK?" ”
"Tan Er quickly cut through the mess and cut off half of the old forces in one go." Yu Jingning first brought up such a thing on the topic of Fang Cai, "If a whip law can be carried out smoothly, the DPRK and China forces will probably have a new situation." ”
Tan Huaiyu took Shang Fang's sword and beheaded dozens of people, although there may be eunuchs who stir in the troubled waters, but Tai Ban is still from the old school, and he is the one who holds the remnants of the old school. Now the old school seems to be ruined, but in fact it is a blessing in disguise. On the surface, it seems that the old and new factions are fighting to the death, but in fact, they are using the hands of the new faction to alleviate their internal problems of mixed tails. Although the rest may not be the real old school, it is much better than before.
No one can truly "sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight". This hand "will be calculated", with the struggle between the old and new factions to cover the eyes and ears of the eunuchs, so that their-stirring stick behavior once again fell into the void.
The officials are still in the hands of Chen Kaiji, if they want to take advantage of the "great vitality" of the old school and want to have a thorough reshuffle in the court, it is not impossible.
If we make another effort, when the war in Liaodong is over, maybe the four northern ports that have been closed will also be reopened.
Everything seems to be going in a good direction.
Yu Zhiwei was a little relieved at first, and then it became complicated. Now the war in Liaodong is not only about retreating from Wuliangha and regaining the land to take revenge, Yu Jingning is still taking advantage of the war to lay out the Liaodong defense line in full swing, so I am afraid that the war will not end for a while.
After all, there are many dreams in the night, and the situation in Liaodong will inevitably affect the layout of Beijing, so I am afraid that something will go wrong.
As if to confirm some of Yu Zhiwei's thoughts, Yu Jingning said again: "Since the news of Guangning's victory came back to Beijing, there are really people who can't sit still and want us to make peace with Wu Liangha. ”
Yu Zhiwei's eyelids jumped.
From "working hard and hurting money" to "rejoicing in the great achievements of the poor soldiers", everything that can be said has been said, anyway, they don't want Yu Jingning to stay in Liaodong to lead the troops, they are not steadfast in their hearts, lest they let him really grow wings and rebel with his father in the south.
If Yu Jingning had lost the battle again and again, they would have replaced him with "being young and frivolous, and he was too much to use", but the 16-year-old Liaodong General Army fought such a beautiful battle as the "Guangning Great Victory" for the first time, and there was really no reason to let such a talented pearl be dusted.
The more capable Yu Jingning was, the more panicked Empress Dowager Lin became. The eunuch party adhered to the political pursuit of "long live Lafayette", so he had to use the victory to end the war in Liaodong as soon as possible, so as to pull the prince of Pingshuo back to Beijing quickly, and look at the Empress Dowager Lin under the skin with peace of mind.
"You can rest assured first" Yu Jingning glanced at Yu Zhiwei, "Honglu Temple Qing took the adults in Honglu Temple to take the lead in writing the book, and it was extremely disadvantageous. What is the significance of Liaodong to Daheng, Brother Bo Chao Brother Zhongwen is like a mirror in his heart, and he will not be unaware of our difficulties. ”
Chen Xuan said at the time: "The land occupied by Wuliangha is very wide, and now the land that is recaptured is only Ningyuan, Jinzhou, Guangning, if you abandon tens of millions of people and ignore the outside of the border, isn't it unkind and unjust?" Besides, throughout the ages, it has been the loser who seeks peace, and now my great balance has won a big victory, but he wags his tail to the barbarians and begs for mercy, not to mention the loss of the demeanor of a great country, isn't it a shame for the ancestors and the ancestors, and a shame for future generations? These words almost threw the words "collaborating with the enemy and treason" on the head of the eunuch party, which was not enough, Chen Xuan glanced at Tian Xin, and then said, "Tan Ge Lao went south to Luoyang, and he just filled the treasury, and it was more than enough to support the Liaodong campaign. ”
Tian Xin, who had just said that "Daheng can't afford to fight", was drenched in cold sweat and hurriedly knelt down to apologize.
