Chapter 163: The North
Xiao Huan couldn't help but glance back at Xiahou Yu.
Xiahou Yu's expression was a little dazed, and his face was a little pale.
He couldn't help but whisper to her, "What's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”
Xiahou Yu came back to her senses, looked up and saw Xiao Huan's concerned gaze, she couldn't help but shudder, and said, "If something happens to the Gu family......
For the Xiao family, it would be the loss of one of their biggest allies in Beiliang.
In his previous life, Xiahou Yu took care of Xia as just a powerful minister with outstanding ability, and although he finally died in the court of Beiliang, he also died well. But in this life, knowing that this old man had specially sent someone to pick her up because of pity for the Wu family, and knowing that this Gu family spared her life because of their friendship with the Xiao family, she suddenly became close to this old man.
Xiao Huan pursed his lips and said, "What I should have said has already been said, as for whether Lord Gu listens or not, there is nothing we can do." ”
Thinking of this, he decided that it might not be a very good time to attack Beiliang at this time.
The Han people who went south to the Gu family were just second-class people who were defeated by them in the eyes of those nobles in Beiliang. However, when the emperor of Beiliang was alive, he trusted him, and Gu Xia did not live up to this confidant, and made a lot of contributions to Beiliang, and it can even be said that Beiliang has today's wealth and strength, and Gu Xia has half of the credit. Gu Xia must have offended the interests of many people and offended many nobles in Beiliang.
Now that his biggest umbrella is gone, there must be many people who want to take the opportunity to pull Gu Xia off the horse.
The four princes have always been pro-Gu Xia faction.
The adult princes of Beiliang were not so much dissatisfied with the fourth prince as the crown prince, but rather dissatisfied with Gu Xia's ability to continue to hold the position of the Great Sima and control the power of Beiliang.
As long as Gu Xia is alive, this infighting in Beiliang will not end casually.
Instead of going on a northern expedition at this time, he let those princes of Beiliang go outside first and then settle inside, and all of them came to deal with him, so that the original piece of fat became a hard bone, he might as well fight with the snipe and mussels, and he would be a fisherman.
Xiao Huan instructed Song Qian: "Call everyone over, let's discuss what to do next?" ”
Song Qian left in response.
Xiao Huan also took the opportunity to leave the study room.
However, after the kung fu of two incense sticks, several staff members and generals under Xiao Huan gathered in Xiao Huan's study.
Xiahou Yu asked Ah Liang to bring refreshments over, and instructed Ah Liang: "You can't pass on a word of what the governor said in the study, you go there and guard it yourself." ”
can't pass the word, and you have to refill the tea and hold snacks in time, and you can't do it unless you are a confidant.
Ah Liang promised and hurriedly went to Xiao Huan's side to serve.
Xiahou Yu went to bed very late.
She had been thinking about Jiankang City.
The news of Emperor Beiliang's death reached Jiankang City, and if she was Lu Yuan, she should take the opportunity to let Lu Huai be appointed as the general of the Northern Expedition again.
Not to mention anything else, it is unanimous to the outside world, at least it can let those valve families in Jiankang City sit in the same boat temporarily.
But Lu Huai finally picked up a life last time, and he may not dare to go on the expedition again.
At this time, if Xiao Huan wins...... They can completely override the court with their military exploits.
The more Xiahou Yu thought about it, the more excited he became.
She vaguely understood why Xiao Huan in her previous life was still bent on the Northern Expedition in the face of such great resistance.
The imperial court has been ossified by this time, and everything is about seniority, if Lu Yuan falls, looking at the entire court, either Xie Danyang will take over, or her uncle Zheng Fen will take over. But neither of these two is a person who can do great things.
Don't break it, don't stand it!
Only by breaking this situation can a new order be created.
Xiao Huan's Northern Expedition must be convinced.
As a human being in two lifetimes, Xiahou Yu has never been so soberly aware of the importance of the Northern Expedition at this time.
In the previous life, Xiao Huan, his father was forced to commit suicide, his family was isolated by the imperial court, and he hesitated to move forward alone, is it also like her mood at this time, so he took the risk and supported Xiahou Youfu as the emperor. And then, when he hadn't yet gained a firm foothold, he was bent on the Northern Expedition?
Xiahou Yu tossed and turned, not knowing when he fell asleep.
Xiao Huan, Song Qian, Qian San and others kept talking about playing the fourth watch drum before they determined some matters that needed attention.
He looked at the appearance of everyone who stayed up all night but still had bright eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "Anyway, let's have a good New Year first." Even if Lu Yuan wants to go on a northern expedition, he doesn't know how many interests need to be balanced, but it is not as convenient as us to cross the river from Xiangyang and go north directly. We're definitely faster than him! ”
A crisp voice sounded in the study, and said: "But the general is close to Jiankang City, and the edict of the Son of Heaven can be obtained on the same day, but we are far away, which is very inconvenient, and compared with the two, they are more advantageous." ”
Sending troops is not something you can do when you are ready, you still need the consent of the Son of Heaven.
Otherwise, it would be a war without purpose.
Everyone in the room laughed.
If everything needs to be done with a will before acting, the daylily is cold.
The person who spoke was Hong Lian, it was the first time for him to attend such a party, and he didn't expect Xiao Huan to believe in him like this, and it hadn't been a few days since he took root with Xiao Huan, Xiao Huan began to let him participate in such discussions.
Hearing other people's laughter, although with kindness, was enough for him to be shy.
He muttered that he didn't know where he had said it wrong.
Qian San patiently explained to him.
It turned out that he still robbed it first like a bandit.
Hong Lian was surprised when she heard this, but quickly calmed down, as if she immediately accepted this way of acting, and said embarrassedly: "I still have to encounter some more things." ”
The crowd laughed good-naturedly again.
Xiao Huan said softly: "It's not early, everyone go to rest, right?" Have a good New Year. After the New Year, we may have to pull out the camp. ”
Everyone responded "yes" in unison, and the sound was deafening, which made Hong Lian startled.
Xiao Huan personally sent everyone out.
But at the door, he saw Ah Liang, who had been guarding the door.
He was slightly stunned, thinking of the tea and fruit snacks that had been broken in the study.
Xiao Huan hesitated for a moment, walked to Ah Liang's side, and said softly, "You can also go back and rest!" Remember to thank the eldest princess on my behalf. ”
Ah Liang happily agreed.
The next day, Xiahou Yu got up, and she immediately told Xiahou Yu about it.
Xiahou Yu smiled "um" and didn't say anything, but muttered in his heart: "It's quite hearted." You can be more polite to him in the future. ”
The Xiao Mansion soon became lively.
Those who hang lanterns, paste New Year's pictures, send New Year's gifts, take the opportunity to visit Xiahou Yu, and the servants at home are so busy every day that they don't touch the ground.
Fortunately, Zheng Fen lived comfortably in Xiangyang again, and when it was snowing heavily, he went to Wolong Town with Xiangyang Thorn History, condoled Mr. Zhuge for a while, and held a flower viewing party, which was very enjoyable.
Zheng Duo followed Xiao Bei's side like a little hairy tail at first - Xiao Bei became the lead dancer of Da Da this time. Later, Xiahou Yu drove to Zheng Fen's side: "You are the future head of the Zheng family, first of all, you must have county prestige and knowledge, and county prestige is ranked before knowledge." Why don't you take this opportunity to get to know some people with your uncle, what are you going to do with Xiao Bei? You can dance at any time, but you don't have such a good opportunity to be filial to your father. ”
