"So to speak."

Ning Qi frowned slightly:

"Although the countries of the Western Regions are vassals to Daliang, they are still the lords of the country in theory, in what capacity does Wei Changqing contact them? Just one Wei family is enough for them to see in their eyes? ”

Even if the Wei family has been using all the means of the government and the opposition over the years, it is a vassal in the end, and it is not enough to contact the countries of the Western Regions.

Yan Yunzhou's face turned cold when he thought of those two letters:

"How could it be the Wei family? Wei Changqing's letter contains a seal from the Six Treasures of the Son of Heaven. ”

Ning Ji was a little shocked when he heard this, the six treasures of the Son of Heaven? This should refer to the emperor's six seals, this thing is useful for passing on the country, Wei Changqing actually has such a seal in his hand, it means that it is the emperor's meaning.

Yan Yunzhou took a deep breath, and the anger on his face could not be hidden:

"The vassal states of the Western Regions have been able to settle down for so many years because of the strength of the Great Liang and the unrivaled defenders of the frontier, and now, Li Qi's approach is tantamount to telling the subject countries that the Great Liang is in civil strife and the country will be unstable, and he wants to use the power of the subject countries to suppress the northern border and let the northern border suffer from the enemy, but I don't know how those subject countries can send troops in vain?

Reducing the New Year's tribute is a trivial matter, if the Northern Mu and the Qiang clan take this opportunity to collude with the Western Regions, if this northern border is really broken, how can those tigers and wolves still surrender to him in this half of the land? ”

This is the first time Ning Ji has heard Yan Yunzhou call the name of today's son, no matter how ruthless he was in the past, he just came to say "the one in the palace", and this time, he is afraid that he is really disappointed in the current emperor.

Ning Yi didn't know what to say, saying that the emperor was confused? But he knew that Li Qi's approach was not confused, he was just selfish, what he cared about was never the country of Daliang, nor the people of Daliang, and all he cared about was the position under him from beginning to end.

Yan Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he thought of the two letters, his chest was blocked, his elbows were propped up on the armrests of the chair on the side, and he pressed his eyebrows, and the tiredness in his voice could no longer be concealed:

"The first emperor is not lost to any previous monarch in terms of strategy or virtue, and there is also a prince in the court who sits firmly in the East Palace, this Liang should have an emperor who has his people in mind, but it is a mistake, and the high position falls on Li Qi's head, I know that as long as the momentum rises, there will be a period of civil strife in the Liang, I have been hesitating.

I am afraid that I will become a sinner for the ages, and I am afraid that if I do nothing, I will be ashamed of the emperor, the ancestors, and the soldiers of the northern border who followed me to birth and death. ”

Yan Yunzhou's face turned pale, Ning Yi could see through his exhaustion and helplessness, raised his hand and shook his arm, in fact, he could also see that if Yan Yunzhou didn't feel that he would die soon, the soldiers in the north would have no way to live if he lost him, and he might not be able to really make up his mind.

After all, in this era, rebellion is not just talking, and Yan Yunzhou really made a decision in the end, in fact, it may not be entirely for the north, but for the Liang, he knows that if the Liang is in Li Qi's hands, it is afraid that it will decline, the country will be broken, and it will not be just the soldiers in the north who will suffer.

"You're right, Li Qi is not worthy of being the monarch of the Great Liang, he only has the dragon chair under his ass in his eyes, have you heard a word? It's called the Prince of Partial Peace. ”

Yan Yunzhou raised his eyes and muttered his words:

"The Prince of Peace."

For a long time, a sneer appeared on his face, and indeed, Ning Yi spoke:

"You said that Prince Xianduanyi has the style of a Ming monarch, and this world has nothing to do with Li Qi, but the world is unpredictable, no one thought that the first prince would die young, and this throne would fall on his head, for him, this throne is like a big pie, and it fell on his head.

The temptation of this throne is too great, and once he does it, he may not be able to let it go, so he is not thinking about how to govern Daliang well, not how to let Daliang expand his territory, he only thinks about one thing, that is, to continue to be the monarch of Daliang, even if the mountains and rivers are broken and a corner of peace, he will also be this emperor. ”

Ning Yao's eyes were sober, Yan Yunzhou didn't understand this truth, and it was precisely because he understood that he made this determination, even if he let Daliang mess up for a while, it would be better than declining from now on.

"I don't want to, Yu An has such an opinion, it is really unique and sober."

Yan Yunzhou looked at him with undisguised appreciation and admiration in his eyes, but this gaze was a little embarrassed:

"I'll just say it."

When he was in school, which one didn't take history class, no matter how powerful the monarchs in history were, Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which of them didn't judge one by one in the bedroom, just said hey, I forgot this era, dare to comment on the emperor like this, it's simple, the nine clans are not enough to destroy.

That is, the person in front of him is Yan Yunzhou, and if he changes it, he can clean up today.

The smile on Yan Yunzhou's lips was clear:

"Oh? casually has such an opinion, if Yu'an is serious, it is really the style of a countryman. ”

Ning Ji heard that he was joking with himself, and withdrew his hand:

"I didn't look at you strangely uncomfortable, I comforted you kindly, and you turned your head and teased me, I won't tell you, I want to take a bath, I want to sleep."

Ning Yi stood up and ignored him, being made so troubled by him, Yan Yunzhou was still a little emotional, and most of his lonely mood was gone:

"Okay, Young Master Ning wants to take a bath and sleep, but do you want someone to serve you?"

Chapter 72: Wounded?

Ning Ji turned his head and teased the corners of his lips when he heard this:

"The prince is waiting?"

Yan Yunzhou spread his hands:

"Is there anyone else in this room?"

Ning Yi came to his side:

"How does the prince want to serve? I'm going to go in and take a shower? ”

Would rather blame a modern person, can he still lose to Yan Yunzhou in terms of teasing? But Yan Yunzhou did not show weakness:

"Wipe your back?"

In the end, Ning Zhi flinched and looked down at his legs:

"Come on, you're having a hard time standing at this point, aren't you? Still rubbing your back? Rest well. ”

On this day in the wounded barracks, Ning Blame inevitably got a little blood stained on his body, and there was a smell of medicine and alcohol, he really couldn't sleep if he didn't take a good bath, with Yan Yunzhou here, he was not so resistant to washing his hair, he lay on the bed after he came out, and enjoyed Yan Yunzhou's drying service with peace of mind.

Yan Yunzhou also knew that he was tired, so he wiped his hair clean, and then spoke:

"Let's go inside and sleep, I'm tired from the day."

Ning blame still maintains a little sanity here:

"I'll wait for you for a while, I'll show you the legs, and you'll go wash them."

As soon as Yan Yunzhou wanted to say no, Ning Yi pushed him out, and then ordered someone to bring in the thick ginger soup.

As everyone knows, the wounded barracks this night was extraordinarily lively, and the eyes of a group of people were focused on Meng Xiaohu, who had just woken up:

"Huzi, do you know who saved you?"

"It's the princess and the prince, you don't know how scary you were when you sent it in, the arrow went straight into your stomach, we all thought you were hopeless."

"Yes, the princess said she could save it, do you know how to save you?"

Meng Xiaohu's bed is surrounded by one, two, two, three, four, five, six, seven eight heads, you say a word, I open my mouth, Meng Xiaohu's whole person is circled, when he woke up, his body was still a little numb, and his mouth was a little disobedient, and when he was finally able to speak smoothly, he found that he was surrounded.

"What, how did you save it?"

"Hey, cut your belly, cut off a section of your intestines, ah, yes, then, what about the cut intestines?"

There were also people who probed their brains to find the intestines that had just been cut, and Meng Xiaohu's face turned as white as paper after hearing this, and the whole person was not good.

Overnight, Ning Yao's prestige had spread in the barracks, and the person who was stuck in the center of the topic was like a cat at the moment, nesting on the bed and holding the quilt waiting for Yan Yunzhou to take a bath.

Yan Yunzhou washed quickly, and looked at the person on the bed who refused to sleep with his eyes closed, and his heart softened:

"Why don't you sleep yet? There's nothing wrong with my legs. ”

He went over and looked at him riding the quilt and smiled, Ning Ji opened his eyes, this bed is really comfortable, he lazily patted the place on the side:

"Don't make a draft if you lie, lie down, secretly."

With his voice, the people outside immediately came in, and there was a little guy with ginger water behind him, Ning blamed, raised his hand and lifted Yan Yunzhou's trouser legs, in fact, he didn't have a good way to deal with his joints, so he could only help him apply more hot compresses, press the meridians more, and relieve some of them, he couldn't help but miss the modern operating table again, if it was a pair of artificial joints, it would be much better, but now it has not reached that step.

There were only two of them left in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little more warm, Ning Yi helped him warm it before lying down, and after pressing it for a long time, he woke up and dozed off, so he was a little uncomfortable.

Yan Yunzhou turned sideways:

"What do you think?"

Rather blame for coming to his senses:

"Ah, I'm thinking, what if the Western Regions are really moved by the imperial court and attack you? Two fists are hard to beat four hands, do we have a good chance of winning? ”

Yan Yunzhou noticed that he used the word "we", and his heart warmed up for no reason, but he still told the truth:

"There will be some trouble, the countries of the Western Regions also have a long history, although they have been scattered and not strong, but they have their own abilities to survive, the last years of the previous dynasty were the Central Plains, and these small countries seized a large area of land east of the Western Regions, until the beginning of the Great Liang, the national strength became stronger and stronger, and the countries of the Western Regions spit out the land under the threat of the Great Liang, and returned to the Western Regions, called the minister Nagong."

Ning Yi also expressed his understanding after listening, this is the same as in their history, when the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, it was all countries that came to the dynasty, and when the national strength weakened, those vassal countries ran the fastest, not to mention the tribute, and most of them would take the opportunity to annex the land, which was not unusual.

"Did the intercepted letters mention any promises made to them by the imperial court?"

Ning Qi also asked sideways, after all, it is not profitable to be early.

"The letter I intercepted only mentioned the annual tribute, but it did not explicitly say that it would be reduced by a few years, so naturally there is still room for negotiation, and this move is simply a loser."

As long as Yan Yunzhou remembered those letters, the fire in his heart couldn't be suppressed, and Ning Qi also noticed his irritable mood, as if he was coaxing him when he was a child, he raised his hand and patted the quilt on his body, Yan Yunzhou couldn't help laughing:

"I didn't cry."

Rather...

"I think that if the person in the palace has already moved this thought, most of them will give in, no matter how strong the countries of the Western Regions are, they can't threaten the dragon chair under his buttocks, for him, using the power of the Western Regions is nothing more than a mess on the border, and it is even harmless, but you are different, you are a thorn in his eye, and he can't wait to get rid of it quickly."

"So, is there a solution?"

Yan Yunzhou learned from his appearance and patted him with a smile:

"The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions have never been unified since history, and there are contradictions and frictions between themselves, it is difficult to twist into a rope, powerful such as Wusun, Jingjue, Qiuzi is far away from the north, and it is difficult to reach an agreement in a short period of time to pass through other small countries in the north, and Loulan, which is close to the north, Ruoqiang is still some troops, the most ambitious, but at the same time, it is also the worst to be beaten, and the possibility of sending troops unanimously is very small."

Ning Qi understood what he meant, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions have been divided for a long time, and they have not been unified for so long, which shows that the cultural differences are huge, and the imperial court will be on guard even if they are tempted, so that the pace is inconsistent, and it should not be difficult for Yan Yunzhou to break through.

"Okay, don't worry about the war, I'm here."

Yan Yunzhou thought that Ning Qi was worried, so he opened his mouth to calm his heart, Ning Qi didn't say anything else, even if he nodded, it was also strange, since he was woken up by Yan Yunzhou with blood that time, he really never had such a strange dream again, he returned to his previous good sleep, and slept until dawn, as if the dreams that had plagued him for many days before were really imagined by him.

When he opened his eyes in the morning, he found that he seemed to be holding someone in his hand, and there was only one person who could appear in his bed, so that when he opened his sour eyes with difficulty, he saw the clear jawline.

His head was actually stuck in the man's arms at the moment, hugging the man's waist like a koala? Holy, what kind of deadly position is this? Ning Ji opened one eye and looked up, and when he opened his eyes, he could see the person's Adam's apple and jawline, and he suddenly understood why Li had nothing to do to describe these two places, it was really a little sexy.

This person's bones are too good, right? From this point of view of death, there are no hard injuries? But it's good-looking, the man hasn't woken up yet, in order to avoid a moment of social death, he decided to safely withdraw from his arms, but as soon as he moved, he immediately stopped moving.

Oh no, his normal physiological reaction came in the early morning, and it seemed like the place was against the man's lap? Ning Qi didn't know if it was hot, his face turned red, and just when he wanted to quit in one go, the person seemed to wake up, Ning Qi looked up carefully, and bowed his head to the person...

For a moment, the four eyes met, and the awkward atmosphere spread in the air, Yan Yunzhou could feel the temperature of the hand around his waist, and he smiled:

"Did you sleep well?"

Ning's brain is a little down:

"Ah, ah, I slept well."

He immediately took his hand away, and Yan Yunzhou could feel the burning heat between his legs under his move, and his voice was hoarse and smiling:

"Xiao Ning is quite energetic this morning."
