Lu Yanchen had expected him to ask such a question, and lowered his head and responded: "Gu Ge Lao's kindness, Lu doesn't dare to forget." ”

He said this, but he did not mean to admit his mistake.

Gu Shihai knew that he was stubborn, and it was useless to be angry with him, so he said: "I knew that you were Wang Lisong's protégé, and I would never recommend you to the first emperor." ”

Seeing that Lu Yanchen hung his head and was silent, Gu Shihai lowered his voice and said, "You are on a desperate road!" Do you have no queen, and you are anxious to die? ”

Lu Yanchen's body stiffened slightly, looked up at Gu Shihai and said, "Elder Gu Ge, Weichen believes in Your Majesty, and is willing to be a blade in Your Majesty's hands." It is folded in the hands of His Majesty, and Weichen has no regrets. This matter should have been explained to you in prison. ”

Gu Shihai frowned and looked at him, his eyes were full of words "rotten wood cannot be carved".

At last, he sighed lightly and said, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Lu Yanchen hesitated slightly, and said to Gu Shihai: "In the battle of Beidi, Gu Ge Lao may have a countermeasure. It's just ......" he paused again and said, "I still hope that Gu Ge Lao Mo will underestimate the enemy." Beidi's understanding of our army is probably far beyond what you and I can imagine. ”

Hearing him mention the war, Gu Shihai also straightened his face, he squinted his eyes and looked at the landing banquet, and after a while, he asked, "Do you know something?" ”

Lu Yanchen looked away, looked at His Majesty Dan on the side, and said, "When Weichen was in Yunzhou, he fought with Beidi. They...... There is a lot of discipline in fighting wars. Wei Chen just wanted to remind Gu Ge Lao. ”

Gu Shihai didn't respond, he still looked at Lu Yanchen with the kind of eyes that wanted to see through people. After a long while, seeing that Lu Yanchen was unmoved, he withdrew his gaze and said, "I know." ”

After that, he didn't say anything more, and walked quickly to the outside of the palace.

Lu Yanchen was left standing alone, still with a sad look on his face.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, turned around and walked towards the palace.

——

Wenxuan Palace.

Ye Tianhuai spread out a map larger than the bookcase on the desk and carefully examined it, there was a stack of manuscript paper on the map, and she picked up the pen from time to time to record something on the manuscript paper.

"Your Majesty, even if there is something important, this dinner still needs to be used." Seeing that the sun was setting in the west and the room was dark, Li Baoquan persuaded her while holding the lamp for Ye Qianhuai.

As soon as the emperor went straight to the Wenxuan Palace, he hurriedly turned out the map of the northern land and studied it.

This is a bad thing for Li Baoquan.

Today's lunch was already delayed because of the small meeting after the court meeting, and now that the dinner is also on hold, Li Baoquan can't help but fulfill his obligations as the head of the inner court and remind the emperor to pay attention to his body.

"Later. I can't eat it now. Ye replied without raising his head.

Li Baoquan put on the lampshade of the last lamp, walked to Ye Tianhuai's side, and was about to say something, when a little eunuch outside the door suddenly trotted in with his head down.

"Your Majesty, Lu Yanchen, a scholar of Taiqing Pavilion, is asking to see you outside the palace."

Ye Qianhuai finally raised her head from the map, she looked at the little eunuch who reported the report, and thoughtfully put down the pen in her hand.

"Pass him in."

The little eunuch answered the call and left.

"Li Baoquan, prepare some tea and snacks."

Hearing that the emperor wanted to eat, Li Baoquan's gloomy face suddenly stretched, and he was about to go out to order the imperial dining room.

He didn't take two steps before he heard Ye Qianhuai add: "The tea needs to be a noon immortal, the dim sum needs a hibiscus cake, and a few more things." ”

Li Baoquan was a little surprised. He had been waiting for Ye Qian for two or three years, and he knew that the emperor did not have any special preferences for tea and snacks, let alone what kind of tea to drink and what kind of snacks to eat.

Now that she has commanded like this, she thinks that these are what Lu Yanchen likes.

But Li Baoquan thought about it and felt incomprehensible.

The emperor even knows what Mr. Lu likes to eat and drink, and his intentions are really beyond the friendship of monarchs and ministers.

However, the emperor even slept on the dragon couch for Mr. Lu before, and also wrote a "Shengxiao Tonglu" to tell the world, which shows that the friendship between the two is indeed far from ordinary monarchs and ministers, and is closer to the master and apprentice father and son.

Thinking of this, Li Baoquan felt that everything could be explained again.

"Your Majesty is really a respectful child." Li Baoquan said a word in his heart with great relief, and then went to pass the meal with peace of mind.

Lu Yanchen was still wearing the indigo blue court clothes. He is tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and the dull court clothes on his body also show a bit of heroism.

Ye Tian was in a trance for a moment, but she quickly covered it up. She greeted Lu Yanchen with a smile and said, "Mr. came just in time, I have something to ask you." ”

She looked down at the map of the Northland on the case, circled an area with her finger and asked, "Sir, do you know what kind of place this is?" I see that there are no mountains or lakes here, if Beidi wants to go south, why can't he take this route? ”

"To the west are swamps and meadows, and now there should be water this season. It is dangerous to walk in this kind of wasteland, and it is even more difficult for cars and horses to pass, and it is impossible for Beidi to pass through here. Lu Yanchen explained to Ye Qianhuai.

Ye Tian let out an "oh" with a clear "oh", and then asked a few more questions on the map, and Lu Yanchen answered them one by one. Ye Tianhuai was like a student listening carefully, and recorded Lu Yanchen's words one by one on the manuscript paper.

The two talked for a while, and Li Baoquan came up with refreshments.

"Your Majesty, refreshments are here." The main case was completely covered by the map, so Li Baoquan put the two refreshments on the coffee table next to him.

"Sir hasn't eaten yet, has he? Let's eat some mats first. Ye Tianhuai walked out from behind the case, sat down on the armchair next to the coffee table, and instructed Li Baoquan, "Pass a dinner in Jingshou Palace, and I will use it with Mr. ”

Li Baoquan was stunned for a moment, and immediately took the order to arrange.

Only Ye Tianhuai and Lu Yanchen were left in the hall.

Seeing that Lu Yanchen was still standing by the bookcase and refused to sit down, Ye Tianhuai smiled at him again: "I haven't eaten much for a day, I'm a little hungry, Mr. accompany me to use some." ”

Hearing Ye Tianhuai say this, Lu Yanchen sat down on the armchair on the other side of the coffee table.

Ye Tianhuai took a sip of tea, looked at the map on the bookcase and said, "I remember that this map was made by the emperor's grandfather during the Xingrui period. It's not easy to do it in such detail. ”

"During the Xingrui period, Dajing and Beidi fought fiercely, so the imperial court spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to make this map. Looking at Kyushu, only Yunju has such a detailed military map, and other state capitals must not have it. Lu Yanchen echoed.

Ye Qianhuai nodded, was silent for a while, looked at Lu Yanchen and asked, "Mr. entered the palace today, is there something wrong?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Yanchen got up and knelt on the ground, and said to Ye Tianhuai: "Weichen wants to go to the Baishui River with the Jingshi, please ask Your Majesty for permission." ”
