Chapter 165: Reporting
In the flower hall in King Yan's mansion, Gu Huai and Dao Yan sat at two tables, each sorting out the papers, sometimes frowning and stamping, and their faces were very solemn.
Probably the happiest thing in the world is that when doing things, your companion is not a pig teammate... This made Gu Huai's pressure much less, he knew that he was not a genius like Dao Yan, so it was impossible for Dao Yan to take over most of the burden of the palace after Zhu Di let go, he was more suitable to do some less basic things with the vision of future people.
But if it weren't for Dao Yan and the others, these things would just be in the air.
Half a month has passed, and the situation has gotten a lot better, at least that's what Gu Huai thinks.
The left guard of the central guard is outside the city, although because of the tight pressure of the political envoy of Beiping during this period, Zhang Yu's left guard also moved out of the city, which is a tacit deal between the Yan Wangfu and the political envoy.
Those things in the market... The rumors of the hook column, the sale of newspapers, and the small actions carried out in the temple and Taoist temple, the political envoy can ignore it, but the soldiers and horses of the Yanwang Mansion cannot stay in the city.
Zhu Di agreed.
The matter of pretending to be crazy and selling stupidity has come to an end, and the plan that originally needed to be delayed has been canceled, so it is natural to eliminate the impact of these days, or the same sentence, pretending to be crazy one second, rebelling the next, and the people are not stupid, if they don't prevaricate this matter, anyone can see the essence of Zhu Di's army.
Fortunately, with Gu Huai's efforts, the people's attention was successfully diverted, and people were more inclined to talk about whether King Yan really had the destiny to be the emperor, rather than discussing how to say that King Yan's madness was good.
Zhu Di himself is an excellent commander, and there are also outstanding generals who have been trained in the Northern Expedition over the years, and there are also top strategists like Dao Yan who are dealing with issues such as ordnance, grain and grass logistics... On this side, it is not the turn to worry about it, if the snake is added, I am afraid that it will have the opposite effect.
So he should now be in charge of the Ministry of Intelligence and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or the head of half of the General Staff ... It's much better than I expected at the beginning.
It's just going to take some time... The preparations for the palace have not yet been completed, and the reason why he so decisively let the left guards out of the city is also the reason why Zhu Di concluded that the political envoy did not dare to act rashly, instead of-for-tat, it is better to take a step back, so that the action of the Yan Wangfu can be greater.
Everything is in order, and the only surprise is probably that I can't find the news of Zhu Gaochi and the others.
Gently putting down the spy report sent from Hejian Mansion, Gu Huai sighed, he really couldn't understand which ravine King Yan's three sons had gotten into.
Did you really meet a bad guy? Thinking of the dignified Yan Wang's third son being robbed on the road, Gu Huai was a little crying, laughing and unbelievable... It's outrageous.
Dao Yan on the opposite side looked over: "Still no news?" ”
In a word, Gu Huai nodded.
"There's a lot of bad news here," Dao Yan sighed. "In the entire land of Youyan, there are many old departments of the prince, but there are those who reply... Not much. ”
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and those who did not step into this whirlpool in person were eager to break off the relationship with King Yan, who would want to be dragged to death by King Yan?
Gu Huai was not surprised at all: "How is the north?" ”
It is ridiculous to say that the biggest threat on the eve of the army is not from the south, after all, it takes time for the south to send troops, and the important town of Xuanfu in the north is full of ready-made border troops, the kind that can go south at any time.
The most ironic thing is that these soldiers used to be led by Zhu Di, and from time to time they were brought into the steppe to fight a dozen Mongols, but now they have become a knife hanging over their heads, which is really embarrassing.
The steps of raising troops have been deduced many times in the Yan Wang's Mansion, and Gu Huai has also watched from the sidelines, the first step is naturally to raise troops to seize Beiping, and then find a way to attack from all sides and take most of the territory of Youyan Land.
No one said the phrase "take Jinling directly", because everyone knew that the best result was to reject the imperial army in the south and occupy the land of Youyan to accumulate strength.
Who let that be the imperial court, the imperial court with thousands of miles.
Dao Yan shook his head: "The Kaiping garrison has gone south for another fifty miles, and the Xuanfu Border Army Wangfu can't get in." ”
That's going to be fought... Gu Huai Ran didn't say anything more.
Sure enough, no matter how you prepare, you still have to rely on strength to speak, in fact, the current attitude of most of the northern generals is wait-and-see, which can already explain Zhu Di's status in the army.
Otherwise, he is a walking military feat, and whoever catches it may be able to travel thousands of miles in the court in a day.
I also wanted to exchange military news, but Ma Sanbao's figure appeared at the door, and his face was very solemn: "The prince is urgently called." ”
Gu Huai and Dao Yan glanced at each other and stood up at the same time.
All the people in Yanwang's Mansion have sensitive nerves... Ma Sanbao's expression already says it all.
Something big is about to happen.
……
Yan Wang, who was crooked on the bed, obviously did not forget his identity as a mentally ill person, glanced at Zhang Xin out of the corner of his eye, and continued to hum and chirp for a long time and was speechless, as if he had had a stroke.
It's a little fucking weird... Zhang Xin on the opposite side was actually wearing a woman's clothes, and everyone who saw this battle felt weak in their hearts, so it was better for him to continue to pretend to be sick.
After waiting for a long time, he still didn't wait for King Yan to speak, and Zhang Xinxin, who was stopped three times in front of King Yan's mansion, was inevitably a little angry... The dignified Yan King didn't see any outsiders, and he didn't see anyone who came to report the news, so it stands to reason that he should have run out of gas - but it just so happened that he Zhang Xin was a persistent person, as long as he made up his mind, this matter had to be done.
In a hurry, there was no choice but to change into women's clothes, sit in his wife's sedan chair, and enter the palace by visiting the princess's name, and when he passed the gate, he revealed his identity without saying a word, and went to the bed of King Yan under the escort of several guards.
But when is this? King Yan still wants to pretend to be crazy?
He finally spoke: "Your Highness, don't be like this, the lower officials have important things to report!" ”
Don't fucking pretend to be a grandson, there's something to do to burn your eyebrows!
But Zhu Di didn't know if he had been held out of persecution paranoia these days, and always felt that Zhang Xin had bad intentions, so he continued to pretend to be confused, pretending not to understand Zhang Xin's words.
Zhang Xinshi couldn't bear it anymore: "Your Highness! There is an edict from the imperial court on the lower official, and he wants to bring His Royal Highness to justice! If Your Highness can still understand the words of the lower officials, don't pretend to be crazy and stupid! ”
The bead curtain sounded softly, and Gu Huai, who was standing behind, immediately looked at Dao Yan.
After just a moment, Dao Yan nodded and said, "It's true." ”
In the next second, a miracle happened in the history of medicine, Zhu Di, a mental patient who had been crazy for several months, recovered his health, and completed the actions of getting up, standing, and bowing in an instant:
"Such a great grace, Zhu Di will never dare to forget!"
