Chapter 175: Selection
Bo Yan sat in the corner, looking at the empty room in a daze, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, it had been a full night since Yan Rong left angrily and embarrassedly last night, but now that he thinks about what the two of them said last night, it seems like a dream.
If it weren't for looking at the tea set that Yan Rong overturned due to anger on the ground, Bo Yan really thought that he was in a dream, and all kinds of evidence, even human and physical evidence, proved that everything Yan Rong experienced after leaving Zhao Guo could not make Bo Rong completely believe that it was true, until Yan Rong's personal admission yesterday.
Bo Yan's mind was a little muddy, and he couldn't help laughing miserably, now thinking about what he said last night because he was anxious because of heartache turned out to be so ridiculous, Yan Rong has gone through so much and given up so much, how can he be persuaded by his own words, he will never give up if he does not reach his goal, his meaning is obvious, either, he agrees to his request, or Qi State sends troops to attack Zhao State, the key is that Zhao State has no one on the battlefield now, and the old minister may not be able to resist the attack of Qi State......
Bo Yan smiled helplessly, was he driven to a dead end? Only then did he have the delusions that could persuade Yan Rong, and last night's words had completely woken him up.
Bo Yan sighed, this time, this Yunding Temple itself came for nothing......
Although it is in the name of praying for blessings, but now Bo Yan's brain is already a mess, and how can he have any thoughts about chanting and praying for blessings every day, and in the next two days, Bo Yan locked himself in the meditation room, and what lingered in his mind was the three words "what to do"!
And Yan Rong didn't appear again, the words have already been spoken, he has no need to appear again, what he is waiting for is just an answer from Bo Yan, on the other hand, Yan Rong is now shameless to see Bo Yan again, after the reunion, he tried his best to wrap himself tightly, pretending to be cold and domineering, in order to hide his inner inferiority complex and self-loathing, Yan Rong has imagined the scene of his reunion with Bo Yan countless times, he expects to see shock, respect, and even fear in her eyes, At first, he did achieve his goal, Bo Yan was really shocked, but the fake is fake after all, and no matter how similar it is, it will eventually be exposed, and after the truth is revealed, that kind of shamelessness and chagrin will be turned back to him tenfold and hundredfold, but even so, he doesn't want to waver in the slightest, because if he doesn't continue to insist, he will have nothing.
Bo Yan didn't eat or drink, and locked himself in the meditation room for two whole days, causing outsiders to worry for a while but they didn't dare to go in to disturb them, everyone didn't understand what happened to Bo Yan, obviously he was fine when he first came, why did he suddenly ......
Just when everyone was at a loss, Bo Yan's door finally opened, everyone was shocked, but saw Bo Yan's weak body like a gust of wind that could be blown appeared at the door, Bo Yan was dressed in green clothes, with long hair, his lips turned pale because of long-term thirst, Bo Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth, and only slowly spit out two words: "Return to Beijing." ”
Bo Rouge has ordered everyone to keep silent, not to mention the slightest bit of their state, everyone also received the order, yes, after returning to Beijing, everyone thought that Bo Rouge had lived peacefully on the mountain in the past two days.
When Bo Yan returned to the dormitory, it was almost evening, Zhao Xueyan naturally waited in the room early, seeing Bo Yan enter the door, he happily pulled Bo Yan around for a long time, and suddenly found that Bo Yan's face was a little bad, so he frowned: "But the days on the mountain are too hard?" But for three days, my mother looked a lot haggard. ”
Bo Yan smiled and said: "Eating fasting and reciting Buddha is naturally not as good as in the palace, but you, how many days are you doing?" ”
Zhao Xueyan nodded heavily: "Naturally, it's good, I can listen to it." ”
Bo Yan thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "What is the movement over there in the words of the king?" ”
Mentioning this, Zhao Xueyan's face was pale, shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Mother, don't mention it, that person is too cunning, I haven't said anything important, I have already taken care of the left and right words, I really can't ask anything, but his jade pendant, I borrowed it to see, I have seen it many times, I feel a little familiar, as if I have seen it before, I have already asked someone to check my early gold, silver and jade, but it is difficult to find after all, and there is no result for a while, but mother, look at him doing superficial work in such a secretive way, I always feel that he has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with whether he wants to compete with me for the throne, it's like ......" Zhao Xueyan frowned and thought: "It's like the daughter of the eldest sister's family when I was a child, obviously so many people were present, I recognized who it was at a glance, this kind of blood relationship can always be felt, but I don't have the slightest word for the king." ”
Bo Yan just nodded, a little more tired between his eyebrows, it's just that no matter what the result is, it is not the most important thing now, even if the evidence is immediately taken out to drive Wang Zhiyan out of the capital, that Wang Zhiyan is just a pawn that Ming Wei vainly wants to use him to usurp the throne, now the situation has changed, the contradiction between Qi and Zhao has been put on the table, and the external troubles have been greater than the internal worries, compared to Wang Zhiyan's threat to Zhao Xueyan's throne, keeping Zhao is the most important thing, Earlier, when he just came back, Ming Wei probably didn't dare to be so blatantly disrespectful, but now Ming Wei is sure of Yan Rong's strength, for him, there is nothing to dare to, so he dares not to go out.
Bo Rouge supported his forehead, yes, the situation was not better, but worsened.
"Mother, are you feeling unwell?" Zhao Xueyan looked at Bo Yan's face with concern, which became a little paler.
Bo Yan smiled and gently stroked Zhao Xueyan's cheek: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't rested all the way, and I'm really a little tired." ”
Zhao Xueyan hurriedly got up obediently: "Then mother rest early, and I will come to see you tomorrow." ”
Bo Yan smiled slightly, Zhao Xueyan made a gesture, and retreated in an orderly manner.
Seeing Zhao Xueyan's back disappear at the door, the smile on the corner of Bo Yan's mouth slowly disappeared, and he turned his head to ask the palace maid behind him: "What happened in the palace in the past few days since I left?" ”
The palace maid is named Green, which was personally selected in the palace after Bo Yan returned to Zhao State, she is calm and clever, Bo Yan is also easy to use, but it is just a master-servant relationship, not very intimate, Bo Yan is good at raising her family, or holding her family's life in her hands, and allowing her to be rich and noble, grace and power, she does her best to do things for Bo Yan, since Pei Yao's incident, Bo Yan has not been able to communicate with anyone, after all, such a person is too terrible once standing on the opposite side of you, That kind of shock and heartache is enough once in this life.
Green Yi said respectfully: "There is nothing going on in the palace, the court is still the same, but now the people are panicking, and there are some changes at the border, the emperor has not rested well since the princess left, and he is worried about state affairs all day long." ”
"Mingwei's attitude naturally doesn't need to be mentioned, what about the other generals in the DPRK?"
"The princess is asking ......"
Bo Rouge pursed his lips, and roughly calculated, there were only three people who had a reputation to serve the public, two of them were over eighty years old and received a lord to retire at home, and the other was seriously injured that year and broke a leg.
These old and sick people, Bo Yan picked for a moment and said, "What did Marquis Zhongyuan say?" ”
It was the one who was injured and broke his leg, and this one was more suitable than the two old men who were over eighty years old.
"The Marquis of Zhongyuan has met the emperor in private, and the emperor has also asked him what he means, and I heard that the marquis said that if the court needs it, he is ready to go to the battlefield again and be loyal to the country!"
Bo Yan breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he was a former general, and this bloodiness was still there, but how could he bear to let the Hou Ye, who was over half a hundred years old, drag a broken leg to the battlefield unless he had to.
"There are some young generals in the court who take the initiative to ask for Ying, and they want to go to the border to show some colors to Qi Guo, and the princess thinks ......"
Bo Yan frowned: "The place at the border pass, the emperor is far away, he is already negligent in management, it is in the midst of war, and the army is already unstable, and now he sends a son of Jingzhong who has no military merits and no achievements to lead them, and Ming Wei provokes it from the secret again, I am afraid that before the war with the Qi State, it will already be collapsed, and it must be necessary to invite a person with some prestige to go to suppress the scene." ”
"Besides," Bo Yan continued, "Although the children of Beijing have a warm blood, they have no actual combat experience, but fighting a war is not just a matter of blood, in case something goes wrong, the army's morale is unstable." ”
Lu Yi thought about it: "The emperor has come up with an idea, ask the Marquis of Zhongyuan to go with a young general, the Hou Ye does not have to go to the battlefield, he only needs to sit in the town to guide, so that there will be no one to live in the scene." ”
Bo Yan nodded: "This is a method, I also think so, tomorrow I am going to discuss with my father, although it is theoretically feasible, but the selection of candidates must be carefully considered, the young general is more enthusiastic, I am afraid that I will not listen to the command of the Hou Ye when I get to the border, and I have to rule out whether it is Mingwei's henchman...... It's hard to choose a little bit of time, but it's still a great way to get started. ”
Green Yi nodded, she was already smart, and she had learned a lot from Bo Yan's side, and she understood more and more why Bo Yan was able to do the position of the queen mother and listen to the government, even if she returned to China now, she could still control the court, and her admiration for Bo Yan was even deeper.
Bo Yan closed his eyes and recuperated, looking tired, the green-clothed man stepped forward and gently rubbed the corners of Bo Yan's forehead, Bo Yan's eyebrows softened, he closed his eyes for a moment, and suddenly opened his mouth: "That...... Is there any news from the out-of-town station? ”
Green Yi was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Bo Yan was asking, and replied: "I just came to the news this morning, saying that there seems to be some change in the northwest, and the war with the Western Jin Dynasty has eased down a little......
"Do you know why?"
"I heard that it was a riot in the Northwest Imperial Family......"
“…… Oh......"
Bo Yan smiled slightly and breathed a sigh of relief, this is probably the best news he has heard recently......
