Chapter 171: Northern Expedition
The weather in March is warm and cold.
When Yun Rong got up early, it was still snowing, and Lu Nong looked at the sky, and hugged her a hand stove before going out, and then let her go.
It was still early, and the palace gate had not yet opened, but there were already many old men waiting for the court at the palace gate.
They stood under the palace gate with their necks hunched, dodging the last snow of this early spring.
"You said that the spring equinox has passed, why is it still so cold today?"
"It's not that at this time in previous years, why did you still need to wrap in a big cotton coat."
Yun Rong stepped down from the carriage, and the surrounding adults saw her and stopped their original discussions.
She saluted the adults around her, and stood aside in a proper manner.
After a while, the palace gate opened, and the elders rushed in.
Yun Rong slowed down and fell behind them.
In the early days, Yun Rong stood in the direction of the Holy Emperor's lower left hand as usual, listening to the courtiers reporting the news compiled from all over the country.
The Holy Emperor had been sitting at the top, sometimes replying a few words, but more often just listening silently.
When there is something to be discussed, let the courtiers talk about their thoughts one by one.
Almost without exception, there is always a quarrel at this time.
The Holy Emperor rubbed his forehead, and before he could speak, he heard the sharp voice of the inner servant coming from outside the Qinzheng Palace: "Lord Yu, wait a minute, wait ......"
However, before the chamberlain could finish speaking, a figure hurriedly barged in.
The adults in the hall were startled, and subconsciously shouted: "Escort, escort......"
When the surrounding guards heard the sound, they took out their knives and quickly surrounded the people.
However, after the figure broke into the hall, he didn't take a step closer, but just knelt down in front of the Holy Emperor with a plop: "Your Majesty......"
The Holy Emperor looked at him with a twisted eyebrow, and after a long while, he shouted in a somewhat puzzled voice, "Yu Aiqing? ”
Hearing this, the people under 'Yu Aiqing' raised their heads: "The old minister has seen Your Majesty." ”
This is located in Aiqing is the military department of Yu Minzhi, the one who was sent by the Holy Emperor to investigate the affairs of the barbarians before.
After he was gone for more than a month, Yun Rong almost forgot that there was such a person.
At this time, Yu Minzhi's face was black and his clothes were ragged, and he said that the beggars on the street were all believed, so it was no wonder that no one recognized them.
The Holy Emperor waved his hand, and the guards retreated, and then asked, "Yu Aiqing, what's wrong?" ”
Yu Minzhi burst into tears and said busily: "Your Majesty, the northern barbarians attacked our country, and they have taken Ying and Feng Erzhou in a row, Ying Zhou Assassin Shi died in battle, Fengzhou Assassin Shi abandoned the city and fled, when the minister rushed back to the capital, they had gathered troops to surround Jingzhou City. ”
"What?" The Holy Emperor was startled and stood up from the dragon chair.
Yu Minzhi said again: "The minister can still come back alive now, but the Jingzhou Assassin Shi has insight into the enemy's intentions and sent the old minister out of Jingzhou City in advance." ”
As soon as these words came out, the pot exploded in the court.
From sending Yu Minzhi out to coming back now, it is only more than a month, but the barbarians have already taken two states, and after Jingzhou, the barbarian troops can reach the capital directly.
And the military department has not received the news so far, how can the Holy Emperor not be angry?
Hearing this, Yun Rong silently retreated.
She already knew what was going to happen next, but who would the Holy Emperor send?
It was sunset that the courtiers came out of the palace of diligence.
Yun Rong sent a cup of tea in due time: "Your Majesty, this tea has the effect of relieving fatigue, you can take two sips first." ”
The Holy Emperor was one head and two big at this time, and he didn't have the heart to take care of her at all.
The tea was cold and hot, hot and cold, and it was changed back and forth many times, and he didn't even look at it.
It wasn't until late at night that the courtiers who went back and forth in the palace of diligence were dispersed.
The Holy Emperor leaned back on the dragon chair and waved his hand, motioning for her to stand down.
Yun Rong blessed herself and retreated.
As soon as she went out, she found a black shadow standing not far away, and she walked towards the black shadow: "Why haven't you gone back yet?" ”
Lou Mingshu looked down at her and said, "Who do you think Your Majesty will send this time?" ”
Yun Rong shook her head and did not speak.
The barbarians were nomadic people who were born to grow up on horseback, and the cavalry had more advantages than the infantry of the Great Zhou.
But the barbarians also have weaknesses, that is, the number of people is not as large as that of the Great Zhou, and the barbarians are divided into many small tribes, and they are seriously divided internally.
Lou Mingshu raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know or I don't want to say it?" ”
Yun Rong paused for a moment and said, "Today's matter, Lord Lou was present the whole time, so why did he come to ask me this question?" ”?
Lou Mingshu turned around, walked forward slowly, and suddenly said, "Today's palace, the prince took the initiative to ask for help." ”
Yun Rong was a little surprised, turned her face to look at him, frowned, and said, "What do you say?" ”
She wasn't in the temple later, and she really didn't know what he said.
Pei Yan spared his life and never refused to joke with his life, and this time the barbarians were menacing and it was not easy to provoke, he took the initiative to ask Ying at this time, and there was a chance that there would be more important things.
Lou Mingshu stopped, and suddenly said to her: "The reason why the prince asked for Ying is probably related to military power, so he must fight for this Northern Expedition, I promised you before that I would help you, this time he took the initiative to ask Ying, if you have an idea, I can make him unable to come back." ”
Yun Rong was stunned for a moment. 31
There were two thoughts in my heart that kept being entangled, and finally said: "No need, the grievances between me and Pei Yan will be resolved by myself, this time he betrayed for the people of Da Zhou, although I am not a good person, but I don't want the people of the north to suffer from displacement because of me." ”
She is very clear about this, her enmity with Pei Yan is her business, and it has nothing to do with the people.
Moreover, back then, she saw the effort her father spent in order to defend the Northland.
How could she do something against his will?
However, although she was unwilling to do anything about Pei Yan's Northern Expedition, it was not so easy for Pei Yan to take the military power.
Lou Mingshu was silent for a moment and did not speak.
Yun Rong thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think is the possibility that His Majesty will agree to him?" ”
Lou Mingshu shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, now the situation in the court is tense, and there are almost no people who can really lead the troops over." ”
Yun Rong pondered for a moment and said, "I have a personal recommendation." ”
She remembered that there was a capable soldier under her father, named Wang Mang, who had followed her father for many years, and was very familiar with the terrain and habits of the Northland.
Lou Mingshu glanced at her and asked, "Who?" ”
"This person's name is Wang Mang, I heard that he used to be the right-hand man of the generalissimo Yu Tang, and you also know about the Yu family, but I don't know if this person is still in the army."
Lou Mingshu thought for a moment, and then said: "I've heard of this person, but after the Yu family's incident, he was disarmed and returned to the field, and he will look for it later, I'm afraid I can't wait for the situation in the north." ”
Yun Rong smiled when she heard this: "What about finding someone, Lord Mo is better than you, you can go and ask him." ”
Lou Mingshu twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard Chi Mo's name.
Then he said, "Can you not go to him?" ”
Yun Rong looked at him with a smile and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”
Lou Ming shook his head and said, "Alas, I really owe you in my last life." ”
Yun Rong looked at him like this and said, "Tomorrow in the court, Your Majesty should decide the candidate for this Northern Expedition, Lord Lou, you only have a chance tonight." ”
At this moment, Lou Mingshu regretted it in his heart, why did he agree to help her so cheaply?
Yun Rong didn't know how Lou Mingshu did it.
She only knew that on the second day above the court, when Lou Mingshu brought up this person, Pei Yan's face darkened.
Although he tried his best to ask for help, in the end the Holy Emperor still did not agree to him.
As for the reason, Yun Rong can probably guess it.
Before, the Holy Emperor had no children, so he could let Pei Yan toss, but from the previous burial incident, to now, with a better candidate, how could the Holy Emperor agree to him?
The power of the army is held in the hands of a person who has a disagreement with him, and he is afraid that he will not be able to sleep well.
The matter of candidates for the Northern Expedition was resolved, and Lou Ming made an appointment for Yun Rong to meet in Cuiyun Tower.
Cuiyun Lou is a newly opened restaurant, and Lou Mingshu means to take her to try it.
Yun Rong is not polite, anyway, she doesn't want her to pay for it, it doesn't matter if she makes a show.
But when she arrived, she found that there was one more person in the house.
"The prince is also there?"
Chi Mo and Lou Mingshu sat together, and the two seemed to have a good chat.
It's just that apparently the two of them had drunk a lot before she came.
The pile of empty wine bottles on the ground is the best proof of this.
Seeing her coming, Lou Mingshu stood up first, but he drank a little too much, and when he walked towards her, his steps were a little vain.
Yun Rong frowned and asked, "Why did you drink him like this?" ”
This was said to Chi Mo.
Chi Mo pointed at Lou Mingshu and said, "He wants to drink." ”
Hearing this, Yun Rong raised her head and looked at Lou Mingshu.
Lou Mingshu smiled at her and said, "I'm not drunk, what are you anxious about?" ”
Yun Rong sat down next to him and said, "I'm not in a hurry, I'm just worried that someone will crawl out of this door later." ”
Lou Mingshu drank a little too much, but his mind was still sober, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Che, you're afraid you're talking about yourself, right?" ”
Yun Rong was silent.
Chi Mo picked up the cup and touched it with him again: "Lord Lou, continue drinking." ”
Lou Mingshu was willing to show weakness, picked up the cup and drank it all.
One cup after another, Lou Mingshu was soon carried back.
Looking at Lou Mingshu who was taken away, the two also cleaned up and walked out of Cuiyun Building.
Yun Rong looked at him as if he was fine, and couldn't help laughing: "If he hadn't been drunk like that, I would have thought you were drinking fake wine." ”
Chi Mo smiled and said, "Actually, I'm also drunk." ”
"Huh?"
Yun Rong was puzzled.
Chi Mo smiled and said: "The beauty is on the side, the wine is not intoxicating, and the person is drunk." ”
Yun Rong's face turned red, and she understood what he meant by 'beautiful woman on the side'.
