The spring rain is hazy, and the smoke and rain are like shuttles.

The entire Ye King City was shrouded in peace.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Chu Yujia and King Ye walked in the corridor of the back garden of the palace, about ten steps behind the two, followed by dozens of palace attendants.

"Yujia. ”

"The minister is here. ”

"What do you think of the current royal court compared to before?"

"Minister, don't dare to talk about the king. ”

Seeing Chu Yujia's humble appearance, it really made King Ye Zhao Yan a little unaccustomed, and said with a smile: "If you want to say it, you can say it, no matter what you say, you can do it." ”

Chen felt that there was not much difference between the two. ”

Chu Yujia glanced at the flowers and trees that had sprouted in the rain curtain, and said: "When the king first ascended the throne, everything was in ruins, and the old ministers in the court were only Li Taifu alone, but the king led the troops to fight in the north and south in his early years, and there were countless generals under his banner who were loyal to the king and could fight habitually. ”

"I kind of understand what you mean. ”

King Ye Zhao Yan nodded, stopped and turned to look at Chu Yujia, and said, "You still think that our Ye Kingdom should establish a country by force, right?"

"Of course. ”

Chu Yujia also stopped, faced Zhao Yan, and said: "Whether it is the benevolent government or the tyranny and hegemony in their mouths, they actually want to do the good of the country and the people, but now the country of Ye is located in the northwest, the land is barren, and the people in the country are only more than four million households, and the average number of Ye people who die on the battlefield every year is more than 50,000. ”

"The minister has no ideals in this life, it is nothing more than wanting to let Ye people die a few less, but these are actually not looking at the minister but looking at the king. ”

"Look at me?"

"Yes, because the king's vision is long-term, then the vision of the Ye Kingdom is also long-term. ”

Chu Yujia said: "In my opinion, the king ten years ago and the current king are two kings. ”

Hearing this, King Ye Zhao Yan became interested and asked, "What's the difference?"

"In my memory, ten years ago, although the Ye State was not rich, our king was a strong monarch who worked hard to govern the country and always wanted to take the Ye country out of the northwest to plot the Central Plains. ”

"How about the Jin Kingdom, isn't it still ceded to the thirteen southern cities by the king with 100,000 iron cavalry?"

"How about the Qi State, isn't it still ten years when the general led 100,000 iron cavalry to fight against the Ye State?"

"How about Qianshu, isn't it still bold?"

"Therefore, in my eyes, the Ye Kingdom ten years ago, no matter what time it was, was the most powerful era. ”

Hearing this, King Ye Zhao Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighed and said: "But do you know that at that time, how much pressure Lone withdrew, and there was a lot of scolding in the royal court, saying that Lone is a faint king and a tyrant, and if it goes on like this, it will leave a reputation for eternity." ”

Chu Yujia raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Yan, and said, "The king is afraid?"

"Afraid?"

Ye Wang Zhao Yan sighed again and said: "Maybe Lone is really scared, stopped all foreign wars, and began to pay attention to reputation ......"

King Ye Zhao Yan looked up and said with emotion: "I really miss the days when I fought everywhere......"

"At that time, there were no such troubles, even people's hearts were clean, and everyone had only one goal, and that was to fight. ”

"Just like you said, with the situation of Ye Country, it is located in the northwest, the land is barren, how can you get ahead if you don't fight?"

"If you don't fight, how can the people live and work in peace and contentment?"

"If you don't fight, how can the people have food?"

"At that time, everyone had a goal, so everyone would concentrate their efforts and work in the same direction, and even if there were occasional disagreements, the fundamental position was the same. ”

But then everything changed, people's hearts seemed to have changed, they only thought about making personal gains for themselves, and they went with the flow one by one, and the feeling of digging out their hearts and lungs between each other back then can no longer be recovered. ”

Looking at the back of Zhao Yan, the king of Ye, he was like a frustrated old man.

But isn't the king like this, the people who crawled out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood together are now only a great general, Wu Dangguo.

But where have the others gone?

It is nothing more than being killed, banished, demoted......

The loneliness of the king and the loneliness of the king actually come from himself......

He said that everyone's hearts have changed, but the general who was stationed in Humaguan for the country of Ye and for the world has not changed, but in the end he was killed on trumped-up charges.

"Alright, you can go back. ”

"Yes, my lord, the minister retires. ”

At the moment when Chu Yujia had just turned around, King Ye Zhao Yan spoke: "By the way, the envoys of Song and Later Jin will arrive in a few days. ”

Hearing this, Chu Yujia stopped and turned his head to look at Zhao Yan with some puzzlement.

The Later Song Dynasty is located in the southwest of the Ye Kingdom, and the Later Jin Dynasty is located in the northeast of the Ye Kingdom, these two countries, the Later Jin Dynasty sent envoys after the war with the Ye State ten years ago, and the two countries became an alliance after peace talks, and they also united with the Ye State to attack the Qi State more than a year ago.

It's just that Chu Yujia also knows what King Ye Zhao Yan means when he says this.

In the last war of Ye and Jin to attack Qi, if it was not for the Jin State to take the lead in withdrawing from the battlefield, the 100,000 soldiers of Ye State would not have been completely annihilated by the enemy, and even Ye State could enter the hinterland of Qi State in one go, and include the entire Anjun County of Qi State into the territory.

If Ye Guo has Anjun as a springboard, then Ye Guo's entry into the Central Plains is just around the corner.

It's just that all of this came to naught with the withdrawal of the Later Jin Dynasty, and even if Chu Yujia hadn't been born, even if the Qi State couldn't break through the Huling Pass, it would have been able to drag the Ye State into endless war attrition.

The barren state of Ye is simply unaffordable compared to the state of Qi, and once the war lasts too long, then the situation in the country will definitely be turbulent.

Even the Gumo Kingdom in the northwest will take the opportunity to advance eastward, what will become of it at that time, Chu Yujia doesn't dare to continue thinking about it......

Is King Ye Zhao Yan a generous person?

But in some cases, even if King Ye Zhao Yan wanted to be generous, he couldn't be generous.

Zhao Yan turned around slowly and said, "You are so smart, you should have thought of it, Lone wants to have the spirit of a king in this matter, but these 100,000 heroic souls are on it, Lone is really not generous." ”

"That's true. ”

Chu Yujia nodded and said: "But the king, now is definitely not the time to turn against the Hou Jin, if our country turns against the Hou Jin now, it will inevitably lead to endless troubles." ”

"Well, of course, and I'm too old to do any more things. ”

Zhao Yan looked at Chu Yujia with a complicated look in his eyes, and said: "A lot of things have to be handed over to you young people to do, I tell you this, I just hope that when you assist him in the future, you can assist me like your father......

After speaking, Zhao Yan turned around and left, leaving Chu Yujia standing alone in the corridor.

Looking at the rain curtain outside, Chu Yujia smiled, did not stop, and turned to leave the palace.

Inside the Earl's Palace.

Now that the Earl's Mansion has everything that should be there, the servants and miscellaneous servants are all carefully selected by King Ye and sent them, so it can be said that he does not pay attention to Chu Yujia and his niece.

Although it is not a prince-level house, it is also small.

In the small pavilion in the garden, Gong Limo sat on the side looking at the rain curtain in a daze, and Xiao Yao'er was chasing and playing with the little maids in the house heartlessly.

Not long after, Chu Yujia appeared in the rain with an umbrella.

Seeing her father come back, Yao'er immediately gave up chasing the little girl, ran to Chu Yujia in a bouncing area, and plunged into her father's arms.

Chu Yujia rubbed Yao'er's little face dotingly, handed the umbrella in his hand to a handyman beside him, and opened his arms to hold Yao'er in his arms.

I have to say that after this period of good life, the thin figure has already become plump, and the dark skin has also turned white, looking like a porcelain doll.

Pinching the cheeks of the girl's fan, Chu Yujia smiled and quipped: "Yao'er has gained weight, and Daddy can't hold it anymore." ”

"I didn't gain weight. ”

As soon as Yao'er heard her father say that she was fat, she was immediately unhappy, pinched her waist with her hands and raised her head and said, "Yao'er is not fat, but Daddy's strength has become smaller......"

Is his strength getting smaller?

Chu Yujia smiled and said nothing.

During this time, Chu Yujia was not idle, his homework did not fall behind at all, not to mention that his cultivation has grown slightly, his strength is much greater than before, Xiao Yao'er is just a feather in his arms, and it is just a joke to say this.

"Okay, well, it's Daddy's lack of strength. ”

Chu Yujia walked to the front of Gong Limo with Yao'er in his arms, and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking?"

Gong Limo glanced up at Chu Yujia, then lowered his head again, and said, "Why did you come back so late today?"

"The king talked to me about something. ”

"Oh......"

Gong Limo nodded, and then stopped talking.

This made Chu Yujia very puzzling.

Chu Yujia glanced at Xiao Yao'er in his arms and asked softly, "Yao'er, what's wrong with my mother?"

"It's not that old master who made my mother angry. ”

Xiao Yao'er said angrily: "My mother said that Yao'er is not young, and I want to find a teacher for Yao'er to come back, but the old master is so uninteresting, he just rejected his mother, and threw out all the gifts sent by his mother, which is really too ......."

"Oh?"

Chu Yujia raised his eyebrows, looked up at Gong Limo, and said, "Is there such a thing?"

Gong Limo looked resigned to his fate, and said: "Alas, forget it, since people don't want to come, then I'll go find someone else tomorrow." ”

"That's right, it's his loss that he didn't come to teach Xiao Yao'er. ”

Chu Yujia raised his hand to tease Xiao Yao'er's chin, and said with a smile: "My daughter is so smart, even if she is self-taught, she can become a talent, let him come is nothing more than to add some fame to him, since he is not interesting, then let's change it." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, just leave it to me. ”

Chu Yujia said with a smile: "I already have a candidate for a teacher. ”
