Chapter 750, The Book of State
Although Yan Yan guessed that Xu Ruyu might come here to see Lu Ming, she couldn't ask this, on the contrary, after saying hello to Xu Ruqing, Yan Yan pulled the child and left quickly, she didn't want to get involved in these scandals.
Lu You saw that Yan Yan was still a little depressed when he came back from Xiangguo Temple, so he hurriedly sent a few children out, and pulled Yan Yan to ask the reason.
Yan Yan has always been more honest with her husband, so she didn't hide it from her and told her guesses.
"But what does this have to do with us?" Lu You couldn't understand why Yan Yan was unhappy because of this, because even if this matter came out, it would affect the reputation of the Xu family and Lu Ming, what did it have to do with them?
Yan Yan smiled and shook his head, "Also, what do you have to do with us?" ”
Having said that, Yan Yan was still a little worried about Xu Ruyu in his heart, after all, it was a young and fresh life, wouldn't it be a pity if he repeated Yan Yu's old path?
"No, if Xu Ruyu really wants to see Lu Ming, why don't you find Xu Yu directly, isn't it more convenient for Xu Yu? He has always been good friends with Lu Ming? Yan Yan asked again.
Lu You knocked Yan Yan's head with a smile, "The lady is confused, didn't Xu Yu go to Yunzhou?" ”
Yan Yan smiled when he heard this, "It's not, no wonder the old saying is stupid for three years when you are pregnant, why did I make this mistake?" ”
"The lady is not stupid, the lady is kind-hearted." Lu You hugged his wife, and when the two were getting tired, Qingmai reported outside, saying that an official who came to pay New Year's greetings was coming, Lu You muttered, but he also let go of Yan Yan and hurried away.
After about half an hour, Lu You came in with a solemn face.
It turned out that it was several officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War who came to the door, and brought bad news, saying that the emperor of Liao had submitted his credentials to the Great Zhou and was willing to be a vassal of the Great Zhou, on the condition that he would recover the lost land for the Liao State, and the Liao State would pay tribute to the Great Year every year in the future.
In fact, Li Cong received this letter of state a year ago, but it was already sealed and on holiday at that time, so he did not convene a meeting of officials, but only invited the three prime ministers to discuss it with the military department, and then took the opportunity of the first day of the New Year to discuss this matter.
Speaking of which, Li Cong is also very conflicted in his heart.
Promised the Liao State, the Great Zhou will definitely have troops, and the Great Zhou will inevitably offend the Jurchens and Mongolia, and the Great Zhou can cope with the Mongols and the Jurchens joining forces?
If he didn't agree to the Liao State, he was afraid that the Liao State would really be destroyed by the Jurchens and the Mongols, so the next target would most likely be Da Zhou, Yan Yan had told him more than once, so Li Cong was impressed.
Another point, Mrs. Lu just died, Lu Duan and Lu Ming are both worried, Lu You is better to say, he only needs to guard for a year, but who knows how the war will change in a year?
Of course, he can also let Lu You recover his feelings, but he also has concerns in his heart, after all, this expedition is to Liao, communication is very inconvenient, and the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, he is worried that Lu You alone will not be able to deal with it at all, in case Lu You really has three longs and two shorts, how can he explain to Yan Yan?
Yan Yan's father has already died for him, so she can't sacrifice her husband anymore, right?
In this way, Li Cong has been hesitant to this day, thinking about it, he decided to select a few of these generals to lead the team first, first touch the bottom of Jurchen and Mongolia, if he can win, it is good, if he can't win, at least he can accumulate some experience, and during this period, Lu You can also study some strategy and tactics with Yan Yan at home.
For this reason, Li Congcai has not been looking for Lu You and Yan Yan, who knows that the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War can't sit still, so they came to tell Lu You the news.
Lu You didn't know the emperor's thoughts, and thought that he was going to lead the team again, so a strong reluctance wrapped him.
"Don't worry, the emperor shouldn't let you go so soon, otherwise, he would have found us a long time ago." Yan Yan has many more opportunities to contact Li Cong than Lu You, so she knows more about Li Cong.
"Really?" Lu You's eyes lit up suddenly.
He doesn't have any deep-rooted loyalty to the monarch and the country, to put it bluntly, the reason why he went to the battlefield at the beginning was not because he was angry with Zhou Lu and coveted Yan Yan; the second is that Lu Duan was arrested; The third is to try his ability to see if he can give his wife a life of husband and wife. Now these three points do not exist, therefore, if it is not a last resort, he is unwilling to go to any battlefield, especially this time it is not for Da Zhou, it is for Zhou Lu, no, it is for Yelu Honglu, Lu You is even more reluctant.
"Of course. The emperor can't raise these generals in vain, and he has to give people a chance to show their faces, and those people in the province take advantage of them and sell themselves. Besides, the Queen Mother and the Emperor still have a breath in their hearts. Yan Yan said with a smile.
"Where?" After Lu You asked, he reacted, it was Yan Peng's injury, as well as the death of Yan Yu and Lu Yuan.
The ready-made opportunity is sent, can Li Cong still take the opportunity to give Zhu some color and take a look?
It's a pity that this time because of Ding Wei, Lu Ming avoided it.
Speaking of Lu Ming, Yan Yan remembered one thing, Lu Duan and Lu Ming built a grass hut in front of Mrs. Lu's grave, because the weather was too cold, they didn't live there, but they would go over to sit during the day, and most of the time they went home to live in the temple.
After Qiqi, Lu Duan went back to Beijing alone for a few days, saying that Lu Xiao was sick, maybe he felt cold or was eroded by yin qi in front of the old lady's coffin that day, so he asked the doctor to ask the medicine and asked the monk to do something, Lu Duan stayed at home for half a month, and only went home to the temple when he saw that the child had improved.
Therefore, this year, Lu Duan and Lu Ming both spent time in the family temple, and Lu You was born as a concubine, so Lu Duan did not ask him to guard it together, it is reasonable to say that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu You should still go over to see them.
"Then I'll go for it." Lu You listened to Yan Yan's words and decided to take a trip.
Anyway, he is also a marquis, and his reputation still has to be scrupulous, if he doesn't do it, he has to be his son, especially Lu Jin, who is very likely to enter the palace in the future, and he can't let people talk behind her back that she has a pair of unfilial parents, right?
When Yan Yan heard this, he hurriedly ordered Qingmai to prepare a few plain snacks, and found Lu You a linen coarse coat to change into, and then sent him out.
Who knew that as soon as Lu You went out on the front foot, Wang Jie on the back foot sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that Lu Xiao was not good again, and in a hurry, she had to ask Yan Yan for help.
But where does Yan Yan know how to see a doctor?
hesitated for a moment, and ordered someone to take her post and go directly to the imperial physician, because the emperor had spoken, and in case of emergency, she could directly use the imperial physician of the imperial physician's office, and she didn't have to go through him.
Subsequently, Yan Yan hurriedly put on his clothes and took Qingxiu and the two experienced mothers-in-law to Lu Mansion together.
