It was quiet in the imperial study.

After Xu Jian finished speaking, the saint didn't speak for a long time, only lowered his eyes with a solemn face.

really wants to analyze it carefully and comment on the gains and losses one by one, the saint thinks that he actually has a series of words to persuade Xu Jian.

Or, to put it more bluntly, not letting you go is not letting you go.

The king's order cannot be violated.

But whether it was soft or tough, when the words came to his mouth, he still swallowed them.

Because what Xu Jian said is "dreams are all Yumenguan".

This kind of persistence made the saint see his own shadow in a trance.

He pursued the truth of Dingguo Temple for more than ten years.

During this period, no one told him about the pros and cons? Didn't anyone tell him that there were too few clues and too many difficulties?

Too many people have said it.

Moreover, there is no need to listen to others, and the saint himself does not understand those truths in his heart.

But he just couldn't let it go.

He didn't want to give up, and only when he became the emperor could he transform his thoughts into doing.

The years and months change, and as time goes by, the answer becomes more and more difficult to find, and the saint is helpless and anxious, and occasionally thinks about whether he will not be able to find the truth in his life, but he has never let go.

Because when he closed his eyes and dreamed, he raised his head in the town of Baoping, the dark mountains in the thick night, and the only light.

The red light of fire was completely imprinted on the bottom of his eyes.

It is precisely because of his own taste that when he heard Xu Jian say this, the saint really "empathized".

When Xu Mang was alive, he praised the saint many times, saying that he had raised a good grandson, saying that Ah Jian was young and inexperienced, but over time, this child could withstand the border peace of Dashun.

Among ordinary monarchs and ministers, courtiers rarely "boast" about their own children like this, but Xu Mang is used to being straightforward, and the saint also knows his temperament.

Moreover, the saint also watched Xu Jian grow up.

In the early years, when the saint chose Li Shao's companion to read, he also liked Xu Jian, but Xu Mang refused.

In the words of the old grandfather, Ah Jian is a good seedling who leads the army to fight, and being a companion will delay his martial arts.

The Holy One did as he was told.

In the eighth year of Yongjia, Xiliang advanced to the east.

General Zhao and his family fought bloodily until the last moment, and although the Xiliang people knocked on the Yumen Pass, they were temporarily unable to advance eastward.

Xu Mang led a large army to the expedition, fought hard for several months to recover Yumen, and retreated thousands of miles from the enemy.

The fledgling Xu Jian also used his military exploits to prove to the saint that his grandfather's vision was not wrong, and his upbringing was not in vain.

The army returned to Beijing, and Xu Jian still stayed in Yumen.

Until Xu Mang died of illness in the tenth year of Yongjia, Xu Jian hurriedly dealt with his grandfather's death, and opened his mouth to "go back to Yumen".

Because the two armies are still in constant friction.

The saint remembers very well that he did not agree at the beginning.

Or Xu Jian, in the Jinluan Palace, "Mo Xuan Congrong, there are ancient times", "Jin Ge things do not avoid", said impassionedly, said that the imperial historians were moved, one after another stood on his side, for him to ask for his life to go to the border again.

With this temperament and this insistence, it is said that Xu Jian does not care about Yumen in his heart, and the saints will not believe it.

Oh, yes.

Xu Jian studied martial arts in order to guard the border passes, this is his original intention, how can people's original intentions be put down casually?

The leg injury broke Xu Jian's dream, and it also cooled his heart, but now the leg injury is getting better day by day, and the Yumen war is resuming, it is reasonable for Xu Jian to ask for help.

No matter how much reasoning and pros and cons there are to persuade him, not to mention that the saint himself, the "mirror of his predecessors", is not so thick-skinned, he also knows that it is useless to say any tricks.

After a long time, the saint asked, "Have you thought about it?" ”

Xu Jian's eyes burned: "I think about it." ”

"Since you are so persistent," after a long time, the Holy Lord sighed and said, "I will not stop you, but you will persuade Ning An and the Empress Dowager yourself." ”

Xu Jian pursed her lower lip, and a little smile appeared in her eyes: "The county lord understands the minister's thoughts very well. ”

Seeing this, the saint scattered a little depressed.

He remembered what the first emperor had said to him.

"Every man has his own life."

"It is impossible for a father to make his sons obedient, and it is even more impossible for an emperor to make all his courtiers one voice."

"Even if you can't be a tyrant, if the courtiers don't say it in front of the tyrant, there will definitely be another voice behind it."

"For the king, for the minister, for the people, it's all the same."

"Figure it out for yourself and accept the results for yourself."

After ascending the throne for many years, the saint can understand more and more the truth in the words of the first emperor.

Now too, since Xu Jian and Ning An can figure it out, he, who is the emperor, doesn't have to be stopped.

On the contrary, he should be happy for the understanding and harmony between the two juniors.

Shengshang said: "The boss is Dingbei Hou, you ......"

In terms of age and qualifications, it is also appropriate for Xu Jian to be the pioneer, and the partial leg injury is always a difficulty that cannot be overcome, so let Xu Jian lead the troops first and gallop at full speed to help Yumen, and the saint is not at ease.

He thought for a while and said, "You are a partial general, how to use troops after arriving at Yumen, you listen to the Beihou formation." ”

Turning around, he called Dingbei Hou to give a few more words.

Let Xu Jian lead the army to defend the formation, which can not only show his ambition and exert his ability, but also not as dangerous as rushing into battle.

Dingbei Hou is not a person who does not know the importance of the matter, and knows how to arrange the most suitable troops.

Xu Jian said: "The ministers will obey the command of the marshal and will not be rash." ”

The saint nodded, and finally said, "I thought you would want to track down Li Du even more. ”

Li Du's tail was pulled out by Xu Jian.

Giving up halfway is not Xu Jian's character.

"The investigation is because I want to track it down," Xu Jian replied, "The minister has discussed with you before, with the friendship between Li Du and Su Yi, Yumen may also be the Ming Plank Road, and they secretly Chen Cang and directly pointed to Jingshi.

It's not that the minister put gold on his face, the minister has broken Li Du several times, he hates the minister so much that his teeth itch, if the minister stays in the capital and continues to track his whereabouts, he may prepare more tricks for the minister.

And the minister went to Yumen, he might stretch out his hands and feet, and you grabbed the horse's feet.

Therefore, the minister thought that the battle situation in Yumen was critical, and the garrison of the capital should not be negligent, in addition to guarding the yamen, the Chinese army should also strengthen its vigilance. ”

The saint nodded thoughtfully: "I let An Yibo do this." ”

This morning, in the Jinluan Palace, the saint saw it, and the old uncle was not without the heart to go into battle.

It's just that the Marquis of Dingbei asked Ying to be the commander-in-chief, and An Yibo insisted on being the deputy general, with an in-law relationship, and heavy military power, which is not suitable.

Therefore, An Yibo finally won the opportunity for several juniors in the family to practice, and he did not fight.

Since the old uncle decided to stay in the capital, the guards of the capital master were handed over to him, and the saint was also very relieved.

Xu Jian discussed a few more words with the saint and withdrew from the imperial study.

Just as he was saying goodbye to Gong Cao, Xu Jian looked up and saw that the chamberlain of Cining Palace had come over.

"Grandpa Guo," the chamberlain stepped forward and saluted, "The Queen Mother invites you over." ”

When Gonggong Cao heard this, he smiled and said, "Niangniang is so well-informed? ”

"It's the county lord who has come to the palace," the chamberlain replied, "The county lord said that she knew exactly what the princess was thinking. ”

Father-in-law Cao was even happier.

Cining Palace.

Lin Yunyan had been there for a quarter of an hour.

The wolf smoke rose, Yumen fought, and in the early morning, there was talk of war everywhere in the capital.

Some people are worried, fearing that the war will affect their lives; Some people don't care about themselves, after all, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Yumen is 108,000 miles away from here.

Lin Yunyan hurriedly entered the palace and told the queen mother that Xu Jian was afraid of going on an expedition.

The Queen Mother's face was not good-looking.

"When the mourning family saw that you were anxious, they thought that you wanted the mourning family to persuade him and let the saint stop him," the queen mother glanced at Lin Yunyan, "I didn't expect that you came to persuade the mourning family to let him go!" ”

Lin Yunyan smiled obediently.

"That's a war!" The Empress Dowager said angrily, "Don't talk about it, just look at Concubine De, from her grandfather, father, brothers, and a large family all died in battle."

Can you rest assured? The mourning family is not at ease anyway!

Yun Yan, anyone will say the words of Gao Feng Liangjie, and the mourning family will know more, what is the dilemma of loyalty and righteousness since ancient times, everything is a good son of Dashun, one set of words, from the soldiers to the people, everyone cried.

Today, another person came to ask for his man's life, and the mourning family not only did not persuade her, but also praised her, praised her, and rewarded her with a bunch of gold and silver treasures!

Ke Yunyan, it's you today!

The mourning family is old, and the mourning family only hopes that you and your husband will be safe and sound, and harmonious and beautiful, instead of worrying about whether he is injured or died on the battlefield!

What does he really have, can you let go of him and remarry? Or do you just hold on to the tablet for the rest of your life?

The last thing the mourning family wants is that before they die, the last thing they will reward you is the archway of chastity, do you understand? ”

Lin Yunyan was still smiling, but her eyes were red and red, and her eyes were full of tears.

"You love me, I know better than anyone else," Lin Yunyan leaned against the Queen Mother and said softly, "I haven't hesitated, since Li Du absconded and knew that he had dealings with Su Yi, I have listened to Xu Jian's analysis of the possibility of war at the border pass."

It was also from that time that I thought that Xu Jian should want to go on the expedition.

And after that, I also thought about the good and bad. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yunyan paused and lowered her voice: "You tell me the truth, and I won't go around in circles with you."

What ambitions, pursuits, those are set in one, I can cry and talk to you for more than half an hour, but the truth is, I want to live, I need chips.

You once said that you are old, you are destined to walk ahead of us, and you don't want to be embarrassed one day so that I should not be able to do it every day.

Therefore, Xu Jian and I both need more feats and more chips. ”

The Queen Mother's face turned pale.

Of course, she remembered when she had said that to Yun Yan.

Yun Yan mentioned it again at this moment, with obvious intentions, pointing directly at Li Shao.

The Empress Dowager grabbed Lin Yunyan's hand hard: "The mourning family thinks that in the past few months, the relationship between you and each other has eased a lot. ”

"Maybe it will collapse again one day......," Lin Yunyan said, "Therefore, Xu Jian didn't want to go on the expedition because he was desperate to fight to the death with the Xiliang people, he knew his own situation, and tried his best to stay in the customs to dispatch, and he would not succeed as a hero." ”

The Empress Dowager shook her head: "The sword has no eyes, the military situation is unpredictable, how can there be a comprehensive war?" ”

"I understand," Lin Yunyan said, "but I have to fight." ”

The Queen Mother let out a long sigh.

So far, she won't say anything, "You shouldn't provoke Li Shao a few times", in her opinion, Li Shaowu has a lot of messy things.

If Li Shao doesn't change at all, when he makes a comeback, God knows how much trouble he will cause again.

And De Rong......

These days, the Queen Mother summoned Princess Derong several times.

In and out of the words, Derong has no opinion on Shengshang, let alone faint to learn from Li Du, but Derong doesn't like Li Shao very much, there is no doubt about this.

Behind the deposed prince of the saint, there is still the heart to re-establish it.

The Queen Mother is also very worried about the entanglement and where it will go in the end.

Under such circumstances, it is human nature for Yun Yan and Xu Jian to want to give themselves more wings.

The Queen Mother sighed a few more times.

Speaking of which, she is also old.

If she is healthier and can live for twenty or thirty years, why can't she protect Yun Yan?

All kinds of thoughts passed through her heart, and the queen mother raised her voice to call people and asked her to go to the imperial study to invite Xu Jian.

While waiting, the Queen Mother said a lot of intimate words to Lin Yunyan, and it was not until it was rumored that the Duke of Fuguo had arrived, and she wiped her slightly moist eyes.

Xu Jian entered and saluted respectfully.

Lin Yunyan raised her eyes to look at him, and the two exchanged a look, and they roughly knew the situation.

The Empress Dowager asked Xu Jian to sit down and said, "Yun Yan said, you must have gone to the imperial study to ask for help, yes or no?" ”

"Yes," Xu Jian bowed, "and he has already persuaded the Holy Lord." ”

The Queen Mother smiled helplessly: "Yes, in addition to your martial arts, your mouth is not bad, and the situation back then could persuade everyone to let you go back to Yumen, and now you can naturally do it."

The saints agreed, and the mourners did not blindly contradict each other.

The mourning family just wants you to remember that you were alone, did not get married, and did not have to take care of your parents.

Today is different, the three women in the Fuguo Mansion are all your relatives. ”

"Yes," Xu Jian responded, "the ministers have remembered." ”

"After you go to Yumen, there is a mourning family in Beijing, and you don't have to worry about superfluous things," the queen mother repeatedly advised, "As long as you do your job well, retreat from the enemy as soon as possible, and return to Beijing as soon as possible, it is most important for you to come back alive." ”

Xu Jian got up and bowed deeply.

The Empress Dowager smiled, her face a little tired.

She said to Xu Jian: "If you want to go on the expedition, there are still many things to arrange and prepare, you go and get busy first, and let Yun Yan send you out." ”

Xu Jian retired, and Lin Yunyan walked out with him.

When he stepped out of the palace gate, Xu Jian turned around and helped Lin Yunyan's hand, and then he didn't let go, and kept holding it.

The various situations and ideas of the expedition, the two of them have discussed a lot behind closed doors in the past two days, and there is nothing special to say at this moment, so they just crossed the courtyard, bypassed the shadow wall, and walked to the outside of Cining Palace, and then reluctantly let go.

Lin Yunyan curled her lips at Xu Jian: "Before you came over, Niangniang was in a hurry. ”

"She loves you the most," Xu Jian said, and added, "Remember?" As I told you, this was the best start I've ever had. ”

He could smash it himself, but he didn't want Lin Yunyan to smash it too.

So, he will be more cautious and more cautious.

It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass~~~
