Chapter 256: Rift
Xiao Yunhe was carried back to the room by Ju Wenzhen and Gao Gu, and Wu Qiyun also asked several family members to carry Wu Yuanheng back to the bedroom. By this time, there was already a rooster crow. Wu Yuanheng, who had just been lying down, woke up again at this time, and was about to get out of bed and get dressed.
Wu Qiyun, who was just about to leave the room, immediately turned back and pressed him down with some disgust: "Brother, you drank all night, just take a good rest." Look at you, when did you become such a profligate?"
Wu Yuanheng smiled, still sat up and patted his sister's hand, and said, "It's okay." The rooster crows immediately, which is what I have been used to for many years, and you don't know it. After I finish washing, I will go to the county office to deal with official business. On your side, you have to serve well, and don't slack off. β
"You don't feel sorry for your own body, but my sister is worried about you. Wu Qiyun complained a few words with some resentment, and then whispered a little treacherously, "Brother, you ...... yesterday What are you talking about with King Han? β
"Nothing. Wu Yuanheng had already gotten up, changed his official uniform into his body, and said lightly, "What do you ask about some things that men should talk about?"
"Just ask!" Wu Qiyun pretended to be relaxed and walked to Wu Yuanheng's side, folded his official uniform for him, and said, "Brother, you're not ...... Have you always hated him? What did you ?...... yesterday?"
Wu Yuanheng turned his head sideways, looked at his precious sister a few times with strange eyes, and smiled, but he didn't speak.
Wu Qiyun saw that his eyes were very warm, and he suddenly said a little shyly: "What are you laughing at? β
Wu Yuanheng still just smiled, put on the black gauze official hat well, and prepared to go out of the door to the yamen. At this time, he paused slightly, reached out and pinched Wu Qiyun's face, and smiled: "Sister, you seem to have grown up." With that, he laughed and walked out.
Wu Qiyun touched his cheek that had been pinched with some annoyance, looked at Wu Yuanheng's back, and shouted hatefully: "Villain, you still bullied me like when you were a child......!"
Xiao Yunhe slept deeply this night. In so many days, there has never been a day like today. The thoughts that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time were finally able to vent, and the whole person was relaxed. He didn't even dream, and slept until three o'clock in the afternoon.
When I opened my eyes, the dazzling sunlight was shining in front of my couch through the narrow window edges. There is a faint fragrance in the house, which is refreshing. He moved his neck slightly, but fortunately, his head didn't hurt much, but his mouth was very dry. Looking into the room, there was a large pot of blooming chrysanthemums in the middle of this simple and clean room. It seems that the fragrance came from there.
"Someone!" Xiao Yunhe called almost instinctively, wanting Ju Wenzhen to wait for him to get up and get some tea to drink.
The door creaked open, and Sophie walked in with a plate in her hand and a cup of tea. She knelt in front of Xiao Yunhe's couch and raised her hands, and said in a voice like a milk swallow: "My lord, please use tea." β
Xiao Yunhe's mind was still a little confused, and he was slightly stunned, only then did he remember that he promised this girl yesterday and let her follow him. At this time, I had to smile and say: "Miss Su, I said that you get along with friends, don't come to serve like a maid." These things are done by people like Ju Wenzhen. β
"It's okay, sir. I am the handmaiden of adults. Sophie said softly, "My lord, please use tea." β
Xiao Yunhe shook his head helplessly and smiled, so he had to take the teacup and drink a cup. After drinking, my mouth is dry, and drinking this cup of chrysanthemum tea is really refreshing. Sophie stood up and stood quietly with her head bowed and her hands down.
Xiao Yunhe looked at her, still feeling a little embarrassed. Because at this time of the day, I have to solve it, and Ju Wenzhen always brings a night pot.
I had no choice but to go to the hut by myself...... Xiao Yunhe smiled bitterly in his heart: It's still the eunuch who waits casually. It's really not used to having a servant girl by your side!
At lunchtime, Xiao Yunhe didn't pull Wu Yuanheng to drink anymore, but asked him to take a lunch break for a while. After all, if you haven't slept all night and have dealt with a morning's official business, your body will be a little unbearable. Xiao Yunhe planned to stay here for a day or two longer. Yesterday, I talked with Wu Yuanheng for a while, and it was really refreshing. And in terms of his intuition and self-confidence, Wu Yuanheng should have eliminated the mustard for himself and identified with him.
If you strike while the iron is hot and put some effort into it, it is not impossible to take him under your command! Xiao Yunhe secretly felt a little happy in his heart.
After eating, Xiao Yunhe walked around the small courtyard and took a walk. When I arrived at the pavilion, I saw a more familiar figure, Wu Qiyun.
Wu Qiyun has changed into a daughter's dress with a shawl skirt, combing her Wangxian Liuyun bun, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and her makeup is elegant.
Wu Qiyun was pruning chrysanthemum branches here, and when he saw Xiao Yunhe, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The folk girl has seen the adult Chitose. β
Xiao Yunhe also felt a little brightened, which was quite different from the lively and agile Wu Qiyun he saw at the beginning. So he smiled and said, "What's the matter, Miss Wu." Why are you seeing me like this today? β
"One time, another time. Wu Qiyun glanced up at Xiao Yunhe slightly, a flush on his cheeks darkened, and he said in a low voice, "When I was in Mukden, I was nervous and chaotic, and in order to save people, sometimes I didn't care too much about courtesy. Today, when you visit as a distinguished guest, you should naturally be courteous and thoughtful. β
Xiao Yunhe glanced at her a few more times, a well-fitting skirt and a pink shawl that flowed like clouds, outlining her graceful figure exquisitely. At the same time, the eyebrows are still full of aura, but they are not as attractive as ordinary vulgar powder or vase women.
Xiao Yunhe leisurely admired the chrysanthemums for a while, and said casually jokingly: "You brother and sister. It's really a good birth. One is handsome and chic, and the other is beautiful and generous. Come to think of it, your parents are also very good-looking. β
Wu Qiyun said with some faintness: "My parents have passed away for many years...... My mother died when she gave birth to me, and my father died less than three years ago. Over the years, my brother and I have relied on each other, and we have finally survived. β
Xiao Yunhe was slightly startled, and then said with some shame: "Apologize." I didn't mean to bring up Miss Wu's sad story......"
"It doesn't matter. Wu Qiyun smiled faintly, and was about to chat with King Han again, but unexpectedly, a servant ran in from the front yard, and rushed over in a panic.
Seeing this, Xiao Yunhe asked, "What's the alarm?"
The official ran to Xiao Yunhe and bowed down. said: "My lord, the county government has come to the court messenger Qincha, looking for your lord!"
"Looking for me?" Xiao Yunhe was slightly taken aback, "You mean, the imperial court sent someone to find me?"
"Exactly!"
"It's weird. What's the big deal, find me to find Hua Yuan. Xiao Yunhe waved his hand to Gao Gu and the others behind him, "Let's go." Look at it. With that, the group strode away.
Wu Qiyun frowned slightly, feeling a little boring, and went to fiddle with chrysanthemums again. When Sophie passed by, she said softly, "That tolerance is hateful!"
"Go!" Wu Qiyun glared at her half-ashamedly. Sophie grinned and followed her to the front hall.
In the main hall of the county government, there are really a few guards from the palace, holding a holy will waiting for Xiao Yunhe there. The decree is written simply. Summoned Xiao Yunhe, the king of Han, to quickly enter the palace to see the driver, and there must be no mistake.
Xiao Yunhe took the order and asked the guard in confusion: "Do you know what happened in the palace?"
"Back to my lord, nothing major happened in the palace. For the rest, I don't know about the lowly position. The guard replied. "Please also leave early and enter Beijing to see the driver. β
"Hmm...... You go back and tell Your Majesty first. Said I'll be there soon. Xiao Yunhe thought suspiciously: There is no major event in the palace, and the emperor summoned me, it is nothing more than something related to the military?
Without further ado, Xiao Yunhe had to prepare to leave for the national capital immediately. Wu Yuanheng was still asleep, and Xiao Yunhe didn't plan to wake him up, but just said a few words to Wu Qiyun and asked her to tell Wu Yuanheng on his behalf, which was regarded as saying goodbye to him. Wu Qiyun had to sigh secretly in his heart, and it was difficult to say anything else.
Sophie was carrying a small burden and looked at the tall horses in a daze. She had never ridden a horse before, and there was some instinctive fear of such a majestic beast. Xiao Yunhe asked her to sit with Ju Wenzhen, but the little girl couldn't even get up the saddle after climbing for a long time, and Ju Wenzhen was also weak and weak, so she couldn't help her.
"Come to me. Xiao Yunhe stretched out a hand on the horse, and Sophie came over timidly, gritted her teeth, and handed her hand to Xiao Yunhe. Xiao Yunhe bowed slightly, supported her soft waist and pulled hard, Sophie suddenly flew to the saddle like a cloud, and screamed in fright.
"Scared?" Xiao Yunhe laughed. Sophie's heart trembled for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she found that she had been hugged by Xiao Yunhe on her chest. On his back, he could almost clearly feel his strong physique and warm body temperature.
"Sit downβdrive!" Xiao Yunhe raised his whip, and the green horse rushed forward. Sophie shook in surprise, but found that she had been firmly held in her arms by this man, and she would not fall down again. The horse was running so fast that she had the illusion that she was falling into the clouds. And in my heart, I have a sense of steadfastness and security that I have never had, as if I don't have to worry about the things of heaven and earth.
She suddenly had a thought in her mind: how nice it would be if the country was not a hundred miles away, but a thousand miles and ten thousand miles!
Wu Qiyun, who was at the gate of the courtyard, watched a few horses go away, smiled slightly, turned around and walked in. She felt a little empty in her heart, I don't know if it was because Sophie, who was like a sister, left, or because this time, she couldn't say a few words to him.
Back in the national capital, it was already dusk. Xiao Yunhe was in a hurry when he saw that the emperor was urging. didn't delay much, let Ju Wenzhen take Su Fei'er and others back to the Han Palace, and entered the palace by himself.
In the study room of the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace, the old man yawned and then touched his forehead, looking at the pile of twists and turns on the table for no reason. At this moment, Huo Xianming came in to report that King Han wanted to see him. The old man was a little excited: "Let him come in." β
Xiao Yunhe went in and saw the salute. The old man hurriedly said, "Yunhe, come over quickly." Where have you been in the past two days, I have been so hard to find. There are a few urgent reports sent from the border gate, and I really feel that it is very tricky, and I want to discuss it with you. β
"Is there a military situation at the border pass?" Xiao Yunhe also looked at him. He took a few copies of the old man's hand and looked at them. It turned out that Tubo, who had been stationing tens of thousands of soldiers at the border passes, finally took action. The prime minister of Tubo, Shang Xiang, led his troops to raid and captured Jingzhou County in one fell swoop, approaching the capital. And the Jingyuan soldiers and horses stationed in Jingzhou were once under Yao Lingyan. Although they did not follow to the capital to rebel. But he has always refused to accept the control of the imperial court. The war was imminent, but there was a civil strife and killed the commander of the army, so that the soldiers and horses were defeated and retreated. Meanwhile. The area around Fengxiang Mansion was also disturbed by a small group of soldiers and horses from Tubo, and even Shuofang was a little uneasy.
"Your Majesty, it seems that this time, Tubo is prepared. Xiao Yunhe said with some concern, "They attacked many harassments on all fronts, and focused on attacking the Jingyuan area, and their ambition was obvious, that is, to directly target the national capital." Jingyuan was once the lair of the traitor Yao Lingyan. The situation there is a bit more complicated. It seems unrealistic to expect the Jingyuan army to resist Tibet. β
"Yes, that's what I'm worried about. The old man said, "Jingzhou is the gateway to the national capital, if something goes wrong there." The national capital is in danger. At the same time, Shuo Fang and Feng Xiang were there. It can't go wrong. Otherwise, the national capital will be attacked by Tubo in several ways. Perhaps, even Hui Hui will come to take advantage of the fire to rob. It's really hard to do, I want to hear what you think?"
Xiao Yunhe faintly felt in his heart that this old man was a little weird today. With such an urgent military situation, it stands to reason that there is no need to wait until he comes back to give the emperor an idea. Although he, the king of Han, was once a prince in charge of military affairs, didn't there still be people like Hun, Li Sheng, and Li Huaiguang in the court? Could it be that he asked me to take the initiative to send Li Sheng and others to guard the border pass?
If this is the case, is his old man already jealous of himself in his heart, or is he instigated and instigated by some people?
What made Xiao Yunhe feel helpless the most was that even if he knew that there might be a conspiracy or a trick, he had to follow the old man's wishes and send Li Sheng and the others out. Because if this is not done, the border will be tight or the war will be unfavorable, and it will be the Great Qi Dynasty that will eventually suffer. And looking at the current dynasty, only Li Sheng and others can suppress these places.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhe simply said generously: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, the focus of the border pass is to suppress Jingzhou. It is necessary for the imperial court to send powerful generals and soldiers and horses to Jingzhou to sit in the town. Shuofang Li Huaiguang, it is also time to return to Jiedu Military Town to guard the border pass; Fengxiang Mansion also wants the imperial court to send troops to show that the imperial court attaches great importance to the place there, so that the local officials and generals will not dare to slack off. β
"Well, that makes sense. The old man nodded again and again and said, "Dispatching troops will be your specialty, tell me who to send and how many people to send?"
"Jingyuan Jiedu is the most complicated, and it requires a person who is both brave and resourceful and has a reputation there. Xiao Yunhe said, "The ministers are all over the court, and only Li Sheng can do it." Li Sheng is all-round in civil and military affairs, and he is famous in the Jingyuan area. Send him to lead more than 10,000 gods to the Imperial Forest Army, and there should be no more problems. Shuo Fang's side, naturally it is Li Huaiguang. The men and horses of his headquarters have also rested for a while, and it is time to return to the border to defend it. And Feng Xiang was there, and the minister recommended the prime minister. This person is brave and incomparable, and he is good at using soldiers, and he should be able to suppress Feng Xiang. β
"Wellβthat's good, it's reasonable. The old man praised with satisfaction, "Yunhe is really proficient in military affairs, and the allocation is in an orderly manner. With these three generals, our western defense line should be worry-free. So, tomorrow morning, I will announce this. Then personally feasted for these three generals in the Taimiao. Yunhe, I'm really sorry for you!"
Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly: "This is all within the minister's duty. β
The old man pulled Xiao Yunhe and chatted a few more words, and then let him go.
Out of the palace, Xiao Yunhe was naturally a little depressed. Although these things are expected by themselves, it is inevitable that there will be some unhappiness. This old man is now becoming more and more cloudy. Originally, these military decisions could be discussed clearly by the prime ministers of the cabinet. But he summoned the king of Han back and asked the king of Han to say such a mention himself. In this way, his old man is not afraid of other people's rumors, saying that he is weakening the power of King Han. And on the surface, he also gave the King of Han enough face, and did not transfer the people of the Han King without making an opinion, but the idea of the King of Han himself.
Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but scold the old man in his heart: It's really a villain with a small belly, how can the emperor's mind be so dirty and trivial in your old man? And among them, it is unknown whether the prince, Lu Sheng, Huo Xianming and others have bad ideas. In the current court, the people are unpredictable and unancient, and everyone wants to weaken the power of others and then develop themselves. The crown prince and others took advantage of the national disaster to weaken the power of the Han Dynasty, and this possibility is not impossible.
Xiao Yunhe thought for a while, and had to sigh helplessly; the little bit of strength that had finally gathered around him was about to dissipate like this! It seems that this prince of the side line is really not very easy to be. Compared with the identity of Xiao Yunhe, the king of Qin, it is even more difficult to do things now. Above the court, it seems that he can't allow himself to do much. What can I think of to find another way to find another path?
Xiao Yunhe seemed to hear the sneers of compassion behind the back of the prince and the others. He, the Han King who is famous all over the world, will instantly become an empty shell with nothing. In fact, Xiao Yunhe's thoughts in his heart have always been very clear. If you want to achieve some great things, you must have three things: prestige, military power, prestige and people's impatience, you can only operate slowly. The top priority is how to get a little real military power!
While thinking about it, Xiao Yunhe led the horse slowly on Chengtianmen Street, and before he knew it, he was about to arrive at the Vermilion Bird Gate, and then he remembered to turn over and ride on the horse. At this time, a Zi Shao car passed by, leaving a string of luan bells ringing. Xiao Yunhe glanced at it, this was the car dedicated to the prince of the East Palace. There are no more than three kinds of cars used by the crown prince, one is the Jinluo car used for important court meetings or important formal occasions, the other is the four-wang car used for hanging, and then it is this kind of Shao car used for travel on weekdays.
Xiao Yunhe didn't pay much attention to it, and slowly walked forward on his horse. Unexpectedly, at this time, the car stopped beside him, and the curtain on the side was lifted to a corner, and a crisp female voice came from inside: "Lord Hanwang, you are back!"
Xiao Yunhe looked at it, isn't this Tang Zidi? How could she sit in the car of the prince of the East Palace? By the way, when she looked inside, the little queen was also sitting in the car, smiling at Xiao Yunhe. The person who was serving next to the car was the eunuch of the Zhan Mansion of the East Palace, and at this time he came over to pay a salute to Xiao Yunhe.
These two people, have you been to the East Palace? Xiao Yunhe nodded, said hello to them, and then said, "Where are you going?"
"Go back to the Han Palace!" Tang Zidi said quickly, "Will the Han King go back now?"
"Oh, good. Xiao Yunhe coped with it, rode his horse and left first, thinking in his heart: Little queen, why did you have anything to do with Li Yu of the East Palace? The prince also sent a car to send her back. She is my guest, Li Yu invited her while I was away, it was too embarrassing to give me face, right?
What's more, this guest is still a woman, and she is a stunning beauty...... Xiao Yunhe felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. It stands to reason that the little queen is an envoy of the East Female Kingdom. There is nothing out of place to meet the Prince. But since the king of Han has promised to come down to help her run errands and take her in, the prince still comes to intervene, or the little queen goes to the prince again, which is inevitably a little tireful.
When he returned to the Han Palace, Xiao Yunhe saw a gate god dangling at the door from a distance, anxious like a dog that had lost its tail. Xiao Yunhece immediately stepped forward and called, "Song Liangchen, what are you wandering around at the door?"
Song Liangchen was sullen. As soon as he heard Xiao Yunhedi's voice, he was overjoyed, and came over to hold the horse and smirked: "My lord, are you back? It's good to be back, I was going to go to the East Palace to ask for someone just now." Now that you're back, I'll go with you!"
Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Who do you want? You're a brutal man, and you're quite jealous. β
"Huh?!" Song Liangchen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed awkwardly, "I ...... It's not that I'm jealous. It's for the adults to worry about! The little queen is such a peugeot, no matter how she says it, she can't let the East Palace pry the corner. As he spoke, the carriage carrying the little queen came from behind. Tang Zidi shouted in the car: "Senior brother, we're back!"
Song Liangchen responded excitedly: "Senior sister is so wow!"
"Senior brother, junior sister?" When Xiao Yunhe heard this, he immediately felt interesting, and asked casually, "Have you been studying hard these days? In a few days, a child named Fang Ci will come to study with you." β
Unexpectedly, Song Liangchen suddenly laughed: "My lord, let's find another gentleman." The old man who was invited before was also in poor health. I didn't teach for two days. If you teach anything, you will vomit blood and die, and you will never come again. Next time, I'll have to find someone who is in better health. β
Xiao Yunhe couldn't cry or laugh suddenly, he didn't need Song Liangchen to say any more, he could imagine what he and Tang Zidi looked like when they were studying, so he had to laugh twice and walked towards the mansion. Song Liangchen seemed to remember it at this time. Hurriedly said: "My lord, Li Huaiguang, Hun and Li Sheng have been waiting for adults in the main hall for a long time. This time of day at this time. All three of them will come. β
"Don't say it sooner!" Xiao Yunhe strode inside. Li Sheng and the others had already come out early, and the four of them sat in the tea room together.
Li Huaiguang's temperament was rather anxious, and without waiting for the four of them to sit down, he hurriedly shouted: "My lord, you can be regarded as coming back! I really have too many things to tell my lord in my heart -- in the past few days since you left, the two bastards, Lao Garlic and Hun, have done stupid things!"
Xiao Yunhe was stunned for a moment, glanced at Li Sheng and Hun with a wry smile, and asked, "What stupid thing?"
"They asked Ying to leave the national capital and go to the frontier!" Li Huaiguang shouted angrily, "These two bastards! You don't want to think about it, if you all leave the national capital, who else can be used around the adults? There are all traitors left in the court to seize power, and that is still a fart!"
Xiao Yunhe laughed, waved his hand to signal Li Huaiguang to be calm, and said, "Li Sheng and Hun are right to do this. β
"Huh?-" Li Huaiguang was stunned.
"Yes!" Xiao Yunhe also said helplessly, "Li Sheng and Hun, including you Li Huaiguang, are the most effective generals in the court at the moment. If you don't come forward when something happens on the frontier, do you still want to let those who have never led a soldier go without the strength of a chicken? This is your duty, and you can't push it off. The three of you are all people who are in and out of the prime minister, and it is too normal to go back to the court to discuss politics and go out as a general. Today, the emperor summoned me back urgently, just to ask me what I mean. I also recommended to the emperor that the three of you will go on the expedition together. β
Li Sheng and Hun glanced at each other, and said in unison: "King Han is wise!"
"Hmm......" Xiao Yunhe nodded slightly, "We all have to understand a little bit. No matter what you want to fight for or what you want to do, the premise is that you can't miss the state affairs of Daqi, which is the bottom line of doing anything. The frontier war is a major event related to the survival of the country, so it must be placed in front of the first place. β
Li Huaiguang sighed a little unwillingly: "I understand." But...... Adults think this way for the sake of the public, but other people don't think so. Don't say anything else...... In the past few days since the adults left, the East Palace came to the Han Palace's Mansion every day to invite the girl from the East Girl Country to come over to play. What the fuck is this! If it's me Lao Li, I'll definitely turn my face with him -- when Lao Tzu goes out on business, you will come and pry my corner to get my woman, and this is not going to fight with him!"
"Silence!" Xiao Yunhe raised his hand and snorted. Then he said, "Speaking of which, the little queen's friendship with me is just average, and I don't have any special thoughts about her." Besides, after all, she is an envoy of a country, and it is natural for her to go to the prince of the East Palace to discuss state affairs. Don't think so badly. I know how the prince is a man. He would never dare to mess with this kind of thing. β
Li Sheng said: "The king of Han is the reason of the moon. The prince is the most important person in etiquette and etiquette, and he has always been relatively low-key, not so arrogant and domineering. It stands to reason...... He shouldn't do anything wrong. β
"Old garlic, what are you talking about!" Li Huaiguang shouted again, "Then the prince will invite your favorite concubine over tomorrow to enjoy the flowers." You're going to think it's okay too?!There's something about this woman that you can't tell at a glance. Everyone is a man, don't you still understand this?!
Li Sheng suddenly couldn't cry or laugh: "What are you talking about! This is obviously not the same thing!"
Xiao Yunhe hurriedly stopped them and quieted them down, not letting this senseless argument continue. In my heart, I also vaguely felt some unhappiness. Although he is well aware. The relationship between the prince and the little queen is definitely not as unbearable as Li Huaiguang said, and he and the little queen have no special relationship, but there is that kind of strangeness in his heart. After all, it's still a little uncomfortable.
Hun also came out to play a round, diverted the topic and said, "Let's talk about business." After the three of us leave, the adults will be weak in the court. Let's plan for the future. At present, there are princes in the court, Lu Sheng and others, and now there are more Huo Xianming, who is in charge of the Imperial Forest Army. These groups of people are not good at stubble. Whether he will take advantage of the weakness of the Han King to fall into the well is really hard to say. β
"Yes!" Li Sheng and Li Huaiguang said in unison, then glanced at each other again, and each snorted coldly.
Xiao Yunhe shook his head slightly with a wry smile: "This is also a helpless thing." Now. Only by focusing on the big picture first. In fact, I have been thinking that it is indeed difficult for me, a successor prince, to do anything in the court. β
"Then why don't you find another path?" Li Sheng immediately said, "I can't stay in the court, so it's better to go somewhere else!"
"Going somewhere else?" Xiao Yunhe seemed to wake up from a dream. "Where can I go?"
Hun also said: "Yes." Although there are more than 2,000 feudal towns in the Han Dynasty, they are not as specific as the feudal kings. The inhabitants of the food and euphores are scattered. β
"That's right!" Xiao Yunhe also agreed, and then looked at Li Sheng, meaning to ask for his specific opinion.
Li Sheng smiled and said: "There are so many jiedu envoys in the world, can't it be that the king of Han deserves it? If he can save one army and one town, it is far better than staying in this court where it is difficult to fight for an inch of land! Moreover, with the Wen Taowu strategy of the king of Han, no matter which jiedu military town he goes to, he will not be in full swing like a fish in water? When the time comes, the king of Han will have real strength in his hands, so why should he come to compete with the prince and Lu Sheng for the length of a day?"
"That's right!" Hun and Li Huaiguang responded loudly.
Xiao Yunhe also nodded, but he was noncommittal, but he quickly calculated in his heart: I have always been very disgusted with the festival envoy from the bottom of my heart, but I didn't expect that I also invisibly got into a bull's horn, or walked into a dead end -- Li Sheng is right, the world is so military and town, so many places and towns, and many generals deserve it, why should I be the king of Han? ! I, Xiao Yunhe, only thought about eliminating Fanzhen and abolishing the system of festival envoys, but I never thought that I could also start from a festival envoy! Staying in this court, intrigues and intrigues are fighting back and forth, but in the end I am still unarmed and have no soldiers. Wouldn't it be good if you could go to the place to get the hearts of the people and hold a large army?!
After all, this is an extraordinary time, and the environment is completely different from the early Tang Dynasty, and my own identity is also very different. Such a policy and strategy is indeed a good way!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhe was also a little excited, and praised Li Sheng again and again: "The good weapon is really a dense mind, but I didn't expect this layer myself." You're right, staying in the court, it's better to go to one side and take over the power of one side alone. When the time comes, I don't care about any life-and-death party disputes in the court, as long as I manage one side well. If there is something wrong with the country, I have real things in my hands to use. This is indeed a very correct idea. β
"But ......," Hun said with some scruples, "such as today's military town festival, most of them have already belonged to someone." Moreover, the festival envoys are hereditary or elected by the localities themselves. Where can adults go to see the stitches?"
"It's better to go to Shuofang!" Li Huaiguang said arrogantly, "As long as the adults come to Shuofang, I, Li Huaiguang, will be the pawns of the adults who fall off the horse and carry the whip!"
"No!" Xiao Yunhe decisively refused and said, "Shuo Fangjie is no better than other places. It borders Tibet and the Hui River, and the border situation is extremely complicated, and war may break out at any time. You don't need to be a general who is familiar with Shuofang's affairs, but you are replaced by me, a newcomer, aren't you asking for defeat? On Shuofang's side, you Li Huaiguang must go to the town to ensure that this side is safe!"
"Oh......" Li Huaiguang was helpless to quiet down.
"You don't have to worry too much about **. Myself, there will be a way. Xiao Yunhe let out a long breath slowly, and said leisurely, "However, before you lead your division to go on the expedition, there is one thing you want to help me do." β
"What's the matter?" the three of them said in unison.
Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, "Not long ago, a few people in my mansion were arrested by the Imperial City Divine Ce Army, I guess you all know about it, right? Later, I went to pick up Lu Sheng and Huo Xianming's two gangs to bite them. Now that I think about it, it's time for this matter to come to an end. What you have to do is to help collect the evidence of Lu Sheng and Huo Xianming. It must not be difficult, right? It is impossible for the cabinet to not have a copy of their excerpts, and if you pay close attention, you should be able to find quite a few. And even if these folds are packed up by them in advance, you can also entangle some officials to jointly fold them. Just wait for the two of them to fight, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then when they are both defeated, we can come out and clean up the mess. This must be done before you go. β
"It's easy. Li Sheng nodded in agreement, "As long as they start a war on their own, and the King of Han takes the lead, the rest will be left to the three of us!"
"Very good!" Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly.
After sending away the three generals, Xiao Yunhe, who had been a little upset in the past few days, came to the backyard with the guzheng in his arms, and walked the piano alone to relax.
He kept his eyes closed and stroked the piano while he pondered quietly alone. Maybe it was the will of God that made Xiao Yunhe reborn when the Great Qi country was in turmoil. But Cang Tian is too good at joking, why don't you just let me be reborn as an emperor? In this way, maybe I can save a lot of trouble and directly make drastic changes to the current Great Qi. But now...... Xiao Yunhe had to shake his head and smile bitterly, what can a prince on the side do?
In the night breeze, there was a faint fragrance, and a slight footstep was heard. Xiao Yunhe didn't need to look back to know who was coming, so he said, "Bin hasn't rested so late?"
The little queen had already walked behind Xiao Yunhe and said softly, "I heard the sound of the adult's zither in the room, so I came over to take a look." Disturb your Excellency Yaxing, and please forgive me. β
Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly: "Please take a seat." β
The little queen sat down, raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Yunhe's eyes, and then avoided his eyes as if she was a little weak-hearted, and said lightly: "I listened to the sound of the zhengsong today. I seem to feel that there are a lot of things that adults have in their minds?"
Xiao Yunhe didn't deny it, and said with a smile: "Sort of." It's just a little trivial. β
The little queen was also very interested and did not inquire further, but changed the conversation and said, "I heard...... The Great Qi Imperial Court is ready to send troops to the border military town of Fengxiang Mansion?"
Xiao Yunhe frowned slightly: "Who sued you?"
The little queen raised the corners of her mouth lightly and showed a sweet smile: "Prince." β
Xiao Yunhe smiled: "Since it was the prince who sued you, then it should be right." But he thought in his heart: Sending troops to the border pass to punish generals is a matter of military affairs, and it can also be called a secret. The crown prince actually sued a foreign envoy like this...... That's a bit out of place. Moreover, since you know everything, why do you want to mention it in front of me, is it deliberately trying to stimulate me, so that I can be jealous of him?
The little queen tilted her head slightly, looked at Xiao Yunhe with a little teasing, and said, "It seems that between the King of Han and the crown prince, there is some mustard?"
