The emperor arrived in Yanzhou and moved into the palace that had been arranged. After the Great War of Yang Yan, the Turks did not make any major moves, but they were still gathering forces and converging to the north of Yinshan. Similarly, Murong Yan, the prime minister of the left, was constantly drawing forces from the border states, and both sides were ready to fight, waiting for a storm that engulfed countless souls to blow, and before that, although there were small frictions, there were no major disputes breaking out.

Even so, Cushman & Wakefield is not an easy one. Out of Jinyang, along the way, many tribal chiefs came to meet the emperor with tributes and beauties, and Gao Wei came here to subdue the hearts of the people in northern Xinjiang, so these people are naturally not easy to see. The Xianbei language was the upper-class language of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Gao Wei had been familiar with it since he was a child, and he had no barriers to conversing with these chiefs. Often, after Gao Wei received the tribute, he gave them more rewards with a stroke of the pen, and then they excitedly paid a salute and swore allegiance to the emperor for generations......

A lot of money was spent in the past ten days, and the private treasury brought by the emperor was emptied by half.

Seriously, it's boring to play with these imaginary things. The Northern Wei court is not thin on these chieftains, and when it comes to the point of being at the juncture, shouldn't they all follow suit?

Things like promises and covenants have always been waste paper, and Cushman & Wakefield wants practical things. If you have a request, you have to pay first, and if you want a book of profits, you have to see it first. Therefore, Gao Wei was very warm and polite to these chiefs, and after a few days, he continued to show kindness and coaxing, and finally bluffed the chiefs into transferring a group of young men from the department to "temporarily" enter the battle sequence in the border states.

Of course, when this "temporary" will end depends on the emperor's opinion. They also have to be grateful to Dade.

As for military pay...... I have worked tirelessly to protect the sanctity of your private property at the expense of the royal conquest, and you still want me to pay for it? Your conscience has been eaten by dogs! Didn't you say before that you were grateful for my kindness and were willing to do the work of dogs and horses?

Besides, the children of your tribe are being conscripted, protecting their own tribe, not me!

All the truths were occupied by Gao Wei, and the chieftains had to obey, and the Turks poured out, but they were really frightened. If Daqi does not cover them, what awaits them is only the fate of being swallowed by the Turks, not to mention their children, everything will cease to exist! They will still settle this account.

Even if they don't want to, they can't help it. The strong dragon violently beat the head snake on the ground, the emperor's royal driver and his 100,000 tigers and wolves are in front of him, what do you dare to listen to?

On the other hand, the public opinion offensive of the imperial court was too fierce, and in the border states of Zhuzhen, all the subordinates and townspeople knew that the emperor cherished his people, and he kept the magnificent palace of Jinyang and came to the frontier to eat sand.

The simple people have already cheered, many Ding Zhuang brought their own dry food, weapons and horses to the army, especially the towns of Huaishuo, as the hometown of Emperor Gao, their sense of responsibility is also stronger than that of people in other places, ten strong men to three or five of them gave up their families to join the army, as soon as they heard the "Khan big soldiers", everyone said that the time to make meritorious contributions came, gathered to respond to the emperor's edict.

In this case, no one dared to disobey the will of the emperor. First, their support in the DPRK did not work at all, and they were only implicated; Second, even their own children were fooled into boiling blood, at this time tell them that we are perfunctory to the emperor, don't take it seriously, once it spreads, it is just to give people a handle.

They have already inquired and understood, and this is not a good stubble! In just half a month, the number of sergeants in each state has swelled by nearly one percent, which is a very terrifying number! The excessively rapid growth of soldiers caught Murong off guard and demanded strict control from all major officers.

Cushman & Wakefield is still quite satisfied with the results. The Xianbei men in the border states still retain the blood in their bones, and they are skilled in bows and horses, as long as they put on armor and train for a period of time, they are excellent combat forces.

The sun was setting in the west, and the emperor looked up from the full table and looked through the window, just in time to see the kiss of the owl on the ridge of the eaves of the tower opposite, and the setting sun covered it with a faint golden veil, like a dream, but never for long. Gao Wei looked over there in a daze, and only turned his head when the last rays of sunlight disappeared into the sky, and the owl's kiss turned its original blue and black color.

“…… Exceptional"

The chief eunuch Lu Ran hurriedly came out of the dark corner of the hall and stood aside humbly: "The slave and maid are here." ”

“…… What else do I have to do? ”

Before the pen raised by the emperor was put down, Lu Ran looked at the dark sky, wrinkled his white face and said, "Your Majesty, it's already night, it's time for you to rest and have dinner." ”

Cushman was silent, he had been sitting on that dragon couch for a long, long time to read the recital, as if all his senses had been dulled. The endless fragrance spit out from the mouth of the brass beast, Gao Wei sighed deeply, and Lu Ran felt the exhaustion of this heavenly son's whole body.

He stared at the smoke for a long time, his index finger twitching slightly, as if weighing something.

Gonggong Lu has been following the emperor for a long time, and he knows what the emperor can listen to at this time, so he grinned and said:

"Your Majesty, Hu Zhaoyi came half an hour ago and brought a good stew, but it was only because His Majesty instructed that no one should disturb it, so he didn't come in...... The slave maid tasted it, and there was no cold dead thing, only mint perilla was added, which was very refreshing, and it was the most suitable for drinking in such weather. ”

The cool brass pillars were stuck with small droplets, dripping down. This year's summer and autumn are going to be particularly hot, and Xuzhou and Taishan have reported drought again, which has made Zu Ting have full authority to deal with it, and I don't know what the situation is now...... Gao Wei's thoughts had not yet been pulled out of government affairs, and it took a long time to react, thinking of Hu Zhaoyi, who was extremely charming and well-behaved, and suddenly said: "Since this is the case, I will present it." ”

The stew sent by Xu is Hu Zhaoyi is indeed appetizing, and His Majesty eats more than usual.

That's good, Lu Ran was a little relieved in his heart, and secretly thought in his heart that this Hu Zhaoyi looked delicate, but he was really a smart and clever person, not to mention that he was born beautiful and charming, and his personality was also gentle, and he was estimated to be the type that His Majesty would like.

His Majesty was busy with state affairs all day long, and often had headaches, so he became more and more dislike the noise. The imperial concubine married by the Turks did not understand this truth, because the war between the two countries was not less tempered with His Majesty, and I don't know who I heard recently, saying that her uncle was captured by Yang Dudu and was about to be beheaded and executed by His Majesty, so she persevered in looking for Your Majesty to make trouble.

His Majesty patiently coaxed the people back, and when he turned around, he ordered all the slaves and maids in the palace who accompanied her to be killed. Twenty or thirty people, lined up, the long sticks with thick bowls rose and fell, the skin was opened, the bones were broken, and the tendons were broken.

His Majesty didn't send her much, and when he heard that she was sick later, he went to see her...... However, if such a temperamental woman likes it, if His Majesty likes it, if she doesn't have a sacred heart, how can she last in the palace for a long time?

In contrast, the one from the Southern Dynasty can see more, he has offended His Majesty before, and His Majesty has never pursued her. He was sighing when he heard the emperor call him, "What are you thinking there?" ”

Lu Ran was taken aback, and said with a shy smile: "The slave maid thinks this soup is really refreshing, and the slave maid has taken a sip, and she is still un......satisfied" Gao Wei also smiled: "You are my henchman, can't you drink this mere cup of soup?" ”

"Hehe, I poured a lot of soup to drink, but I just lacked that little heart. The slave maid thinks that Zhaoyi Niangniang is really affectionate to His Majesty. ”

“…… Affection is deep. Gao Wei smacked these four words and said playfully: "I am rich all over the world, and among my 20 million subjects, who is not deeply affectionate to me?" ”

Lu Ran's heart was agitated, he hunched his waist, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

Gao Wei looked at him faintly: "Is your tongue a little longer recently?" ”

He hurriedly knelt on the ground and forgave his sins, this majesty thinks far-reachingly, and his mind is extremely heavy, and he must not justify it, otherwise it will only backfire! Hu Zhaoyi did curry favor with him and bribed him, so he knew a little about His Majesty's hobbies, which is why he recently came to deliver soup in person. Unexpectedly, Your Majesty also knew! His sweat soaked his thin shirt, and every breath seemed like he had earned his life.

Gao Wei looked at him for a while, and then scolded with a smile: "Get out, that is, you have been following me for a long time, and it is also a good intention, I will not punish you, next time control your mouth, don't be unrelenting, anything will be said." ”

Lu Ran seemed to be the rest of his life, and secretly inhaled. The emperor's eyes wandered around a corner of the main hall, and he suddenly said: "Well, my beloved concubine has a deep affection for me, and I can't help but show something...... You tell her that I will reduce Hu Changren's sentence and allow him to return to Yecheng. ”

"Also, call me the privy envoy Tang Yong."

When Tang Yong and several accompanying generals arrived, the emperor was playing chess, the chamberlain was carefully carrying the lamp, the orange-red halo stopped dozens of steps away, and the battle on the chessboard was in full swing, and the emperor's opponent was the minister of Zhou, Yuwenxin. In the first battle of Xiangyang, he was captured by the general Gao Changgong, and after lobbying, he was willing to surrender, but he no longer led the troops.

The emperor was chatting with him: "Yuwen Hu was killed, the lord of Zhou was in power, and before he could sit in his seat, he was in a hurry to fight with me and send Wei Xiaokuan to attack my Fenzhou and Hedong." Fortunately, my father-in-law, Hu Lu Mingyue, can fight well, otherwise I will have a headache to die now......"

"Your Majesty is wise, General Hu Lu is also brave, how can Zhou Guo be His Majesty's opponent in a hurry."

The emperor looked up, his eyes dark and bottomless. But he smiled and said: "Zhong Le used to be in Zhou Kingdom, and he also saw that Yuwen Yong, what do you think of him?" ”

Yuwen Xin saw the sweat on his forehead, and said insincerely: "The minister has only seen him a few times, and he doesn't know much about it, but he has been subject to Otsuka Zai, and it is difficult to get rid of him suddenly, so it can be seen that he is a person who has a city in his heart, as for the other ...... The minister didn't know. ”

Gao Wei smiled and said, "I expect that this person will be the one who will compete with me in the future." Yuwen Xin didn't know what to say, so he listened to the young majesty turn his head and say to Tang Yong and the others: "He sent a whole Yuzhou to me as a meeting gift, and the gifts are still exchanged, and I have to give him something." Prepare a heavy gift to congratulate him on finally getting rid of his brother, and by the way, send Yuwen straight back. ”

"I understand."

"Is there a military report on the left minister's side?"

Tang Yong thought for a while and responded: "Not yet, but Yang Dudu has a constant military report, and the Turkic Ashina took a picture, leading more than 10,000 wolves to ride over the Great Wall, and has captured Changping, and cut off Yuyang, and went straight to Youzhou. ”

Ashina photo, Gao Wei recalled the name, and suddenly remembered, isn't this the Turkic Shabalu Khan? It is said that this person is a warrior among the Turks, who can fight well, and has the blue eyes of a wooden pole and a bowl, and he is probably the first person in the Ashina clan.

He used tricks to be vicious, and suddenly went south, unable to prevent it, and he did have some headaches.

But......

"Didn't Brother Ande go to Youzhou?"

"Yes."

"Then don't worry," Gao Wei said calmly, "After all, it's Dazai's high apprentice, just right, try the knife, how about it?" ”
