Chapter 11 Heavy Duty
The ministers dispersed, and the emperor flipped through the folds in the Qianqing Palace, and as soon as he saw the second copy, he raised his eyebrows angrily and shook his hand and threw the folds on the ground: "I raised these people for nothing." β
The father-in-law Gao beside him was startled and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, you are angry, beware of your body!" Gao Gonggong picked up the fold and glanced at it, probably knowing that it was Beiyan's offense again.
"Your Majesty, didn't you recall His Royal Highness King Xuan, His Royal Highness just returned to the palace today and is waiting to be summoned in the palace."
The emperor's face was gloomy and he said, "Why didn't you remind me earlier, come soon!" β
Yu Wenhua saluted respectfully: "The son of the emperor sees his father." β
"Get up, I have let you garrison the border for so many years, you don't blame me." The emperor's tone was flat, and he only glanced up to make people feel the powerful aura of the king, and then opened the book on the table.
Yu Wenhua still knelt down and replied: "The sons dare not dare, it is the duty of the sons and daughters to be able to keep the peace of their father's emperor." β
A softening smile appeared on the emperor's majestic face, "Hua'er, you are the most proud son by my side, and I naturally want to put you where you are most needed." β
The emperor got up and helped Yu Wenhua up, "I also have no choice, now the country is uneasy and there are constant disputes, you should understand." β
"Erchen understands!"
"In recent years, the neighbors of Beiyan have been harmonious, and the food and soldiers have grown, and there is a tendency to ally with neighbors to invade our border, what do you think?" The emperor put the fold in his hand in Yu Wenhua's hand, turned around and sat back on the dragon chair.
Yu Wenhua carefully read the folds and knew that the fine works sent to Northern Yan had all been executed, and the Northern Wei wanted to join forces with Northern Yan to attack Liaocheng of the Jin Kingdom.
"The Northern Yan has been in good weather for many years, and there are plenty of grain and horses, although the Yan people are not good at riding and shooting, and the men of the Northern Wei Dynasty are naturally brave and warlike. If the two really join forces, it is really not to be underestimated. β
Yu Wenhua closed the fold and continued: "The Northern Yan Land is between our country and the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it has always been subservient to our country, so it can block the ambitions of the Northern Wei people. Now that the fine work sent to Beiyan has been wiped out, it can be seen that the Yan people have made up their minds. β
"Yes, that's right. However, I do not intend to expend my troops to solve the Northern Trouble. β
"What does Father mean?"
"I have a secret edict that you return to Beijing because you don't want to alarm your army on the border of Daliang, and there are "you" leading the army to guard the border, no matter whether Daliang really wants to make peace or not, he will not act rashly. As for the matter of Beiyan, I will give you 3,000 soldiers and horses to set off in three days, and I will assess the northern disaster within three months. β
"Son's Command!"
The Xuanwang Mansion has been deserted for many years, and now although the dazzling candlelight is lit in the mansion, people can't help but feel cold, Yu Wenhua gently stirred the wick to make the candle flame brighter, and said to Chu Feng, who was thinking deeply behind him: "In three days, we will leave for Beiyan, and tomorrow you will take a day off to go back to visit your family." β
"But Your Highness, there are less than thirty cronies we brought on this trip, and Your Majesty only has three thousand soldiers and horses for us to pacify the situation in Beiyan for three months, so I'm afraid we don't even have time to train the army, how can we ......?"
"I haven't been home for six years, don't you miss your parents?" Yu Wenhua got up and poured himself a cup of hot tea, and interrupted Chu Feng's words stiffly.
"But Your Highness,......" Chu Feng just wanted to continue to emphasize the problems at hand, but suddenly noticed Yu Wenhua's impatient eyes looking at him upright, helplessly.
"Go down, I know what I know."
"Yes."
After Chu Feng left, Yu Wenhua got up and walked into the study after drinking the warm tea in the cup. After adding a little ink to the inkstone on the table, I picked up the special gold brush in the pen shelf on the side, drew two strokes in the inkstone, and suddenly pressed it hard, only to hear the sound of the lock popping open on the wall behind me.
Yu Wenhua turned around and pushed open the wall, and followed the secret passage of the dark room to a stone room.
The stone room was covered with all kinds of rare weapons, and under the faint candle light, the man was concentrating on watching the weapons, and when he noticed the arrival of Yu Wenhua, he retracted his thoughts in a little panic, and saluted: "My subordinates have lost their manners, please atone for your sins." β
"It's okay, just pick one of them."
"This ...... Too valuable, subordinates don't dare. Although the man refused, he was obviously excited when he heard this.
Yu Wenhua was indeed very casual, picked up the Imperial Spirit Sword in the upper left, and said to him: "When did you learn to come with me, this Imperial Spirit Sword is the best in the sword, and you will definitely use it if you like to use the sword." β
The man took the Imperial Spirit Sword, saluted happily, and thanked: "Your Highness really understands your subordinates, and your subordinates like this Imperial Spirit Sword the most, thank you, Your Highness." β
"You have been following me since you were seven years old, and although you have never been involved in the army, I know you very well as the person I am most close to." Yu Wenhua said, looking at the man and showing a rare smile.
"My subordinate is an orphan, and I have been bullied in every way since I was a child, if it weren't for the fact that His Royal Highness rescued him back then, I am afraid that he would have been out of personnel for a long time, and his subordinates have always regarded His Highness as a relative, no matter what His Highness commands, he should do his best."
"Do you remember that I ordered you to go to Beiyan to rescue a person?"
The man thought for a moment and replied, "Is it Li Guang, the Marquis of Beiyan Yuling?" β
"That's right, when the Northern Yan coup d'Γ©tat, Li Guang was framed for the crime of rebellion, I read that he had relieved the siege for me, so I ordered you to go to the rescue, and now he can be regarded as the main general of the Northern Yan army."
Yu Wenhua paused for a moment and said: "The emperor gave me three months to quell the turmoil between the Northern Yan and the Northern Wei Dynasty, and my current soldiers and horses are not enough to attack, so I can only outwit them." So, I need Li Guang to help me deliver some news. β
The man was a little puzzled and asked, "What news is being delivered?" β
"You also have to go to the four states of You, He, Xu, and Qing in the north first, the four states of the rivers and lakes I have arranged in the north are the most concentrated, and before I rush to Beiyan, I must prepare them." \t said and handed the bag to the man.
The man took the bag and hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is there only one bag in the four states?" β
"Enough."
"Which state should I send it to first?" The man was still a little confused.
"Everything."
The man was speculating in his heart, "It may be that His Highness is afraid that I sent the wrong bag, so he simply wrote one." β
Yu Wenhua saw that the man didn't know why, and continued: "It's not that I'm afraid that you will take it wrong, it's that this bag will only show a specific content when it is immersed in a specific potion, and the text will disappear in half an instant, otherwise, even if you get the bag, it's just an empty bag, so you have to take it back for me when you run out." β
The man had such an expression, and he was a little embarrassed to ask Yu Wenhua to speak in such detail, and said: "My subordinates will definitely send it to the four northern states as soon as possible, so as not to miss the major affairs of His Highness." β
Seeing that Yu Wenhua had no other explanation, the man said in a tentative tone: "Your Highness, your subordinates have sent the princess of the Western Regions back to Qiu Ciguo according to your explanation, you don't have anything to ask?" β
"Say whatever you want."
"Eh, it was the princess who had a sentence for her subordinates to convey to Her Royal Highness, and the princess of the Western Regions said that the person you sent away her, but you couldn't send her heart."
Yu Wenhua's expression was flat, he got up and left, leaving a sentence lightly, "Don't pass on this kind of words in the future." β
