Bright Spring

The queen's face was moved, she slightly pursed her red lips, and said softly, "Thank you, my lord."

Zhu Yunqi also suddenly felt cold hands and feet, so he entered the East Nuan Pavilion together with the queen.

The queen was chosen by Taizu. She is dignified and virtuous, and her surname is Ma. The emperor was very satisfied with his grandson-in-law.Zhu Yunqi was also quite satisfied, but felt that she was a bit jealous...

However, the empress once said beside her pillow that she couldn't help but hate the other women around the emperor because she and the emperor had one heart.

It makes sense for Zhu Yunwen to think about it. The queen is really good to him, so he often considers the queen.Last time, the court lady Yao Ji and the queen got her to become a nun in Jiming Temple. Zhu Yunwen was very angry at first, but later he didn't blame the queen... Besides, since the beginning of this year, the war has suddenly become urgent, so he doesn't have the heart to take care of those things.

Chapter 131 The Cold Smile

In Beiping Shizi Mansion, Zhu Gaochi looked annoyed, and was just helped off the sedan chair by several people.He glared at the concubine Zhang who came up to him: "You are so courageous!"

"Master, why should you be so arrogant, speak slowly when you have something to say." Mrs. Zhang was not afraid after being reprimanded, and her tone was neither soft nor hard, which made it difficult for Zhu Gaochi to explode for a while.

She then said to the surrounding servants: "Go down."

"Yes." Everyone bowed their knees.

Mrs. Zhang stepped forward to support Zhu Gaochi's arm. Zhu Gaochi shook his arm angrily, but did not shake it off, and said, "You are a woman, why are you in charge of government affairs? It's only natural for Tan Yuan's son to kill and pay for his life." ! You pleaded for him in private, so selfish and perverting the law, if the father finds out, will you spare us?"

Zhu Gaochi paused slightly, and continued to scold: "Then Tan Yuan was a bloodthirsty person before his death. In Cangzhou in the past, his father asked him to take care of thousands of captives. His father had personally said that he would send the prisoners home, but he was in Killed them all in one night! I see that his son is a virtuous son who would take people's lives at every turn, and it would be a disaster to keep them!"

"Master Shizi is right, let's calm down first." Mrs. Zhang rubbed his back with her hands without any excuses, making Shizi's anger seem to be on the cotton.

Zhu Gaochi was still full of thoughts, and lowered his voice: "You know that although I am in Beiping, I am very careful, for fear of making any mistakes! You are good, you didn't even say hello, and you just asked someone to fish out Tan Yuan's son..."

"Didn't I not tell you because I was afraid that the son would be difficult to do?" Mrs. Zhang said calmly, "The son can't come forward in this matter, but I'm fine... I'm a woman, I don't know much about it, but I just can't get rid of it. The little face among women allowed Tan Yuan's widow to save her son. The father will not be as knowledgeable as a woman like me, right? If the father really wants to scold me, I will go to the mother and concubine to cry and feel wronged!"

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he stared blankly.

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi was silent, Mrs. Zhang said again in a low voice: "Although Tan Yuan is dead, he died fighting for his father on the battlefield. The Tan family was in front of his father and the generals, but they stayed behind." There is a lot of friendship. Tan Yuan's widow and Zhu Neng's wife are also in close contact now...

More importantly, his brother Tan Qing was still alive and was in his father's army.Not long ago, the son of the world saw that in the report... Tan Qing made a great contribution in attacking the army's baggage during the Battle of Feihe. "

Zhu Gaochi continued to remain silent, but he no longer blamed Mrs. Zhang.

After a while, he sighed: "It's just that the offspring who was killed by that unworthy son of Tan Yuan really felt wronged. The old lady, wife and children of the suffering master, watched the enemy continue to be arrogant, how could he not resent him?"

Mrs. Zhang smiled coldly and said: "There are always people who are wronged in this world. If you don't want to make those who are worthless sufferers wronged, do you want to make things difficult for the Tan family?"

Zhu Gaochi said nothing, and walked into the hall silently.

……

In the northern army camp on the front line of Suishui, Tan Qing was standing under the king of Yan together with the generals in the central army camp.

Tan Qing is a burly man, very similar to his dead brother Tan Yuan.

Today the big tent was in a state of depression, many people bowed their heads and said nothing.Some generals have said: the morale of lieutenant generals is low, please cross the Yellow River north and retreat to preserve your strength.

Since October, the Northern Army has successively fought successive battles at Feihe, Suishui Xiaohe, and Qimeishan, and none of them got a bargain. The most recent battle at Qimeishan can be said to be defeated, but luckily the main force ran fast.During this period of time, Chen Wen, Wang Zhen, Li Bin and other generals of the Northern Army died in battle, causing tens of thousands of casualties!

Such a situation made the generals very frustrated.

At this time, the Yellow River did not enter the sea from Shandong, but went south from Xuzhou, merged into the Huaihe River, and then entered the sea.Therefore, many people's proposition is to cross the Yellow River to the north first!

King Yan finally said: "Those who advocate crossing the river (Yellow River) stand to the left, and those who do not cross the river stand to the right!"

King Yan's son Zhu Gaoxu stood on the right without saying a word... Seeing this, Tan Qing understood that King Yan didn't want to retreat and cross the river.

Because King Gaoyang has always followed the lead of King Yan, he must have already figured out what King Yan meant, so he was so decisive without hesitation.No wonder Tan Qing often heard the generals say that the most loyal person to King Yan is the second son of King Yan.

At this moment, Zhu Neng also stood to the right, and stood together with King Gaoyang.

Tan Qing was a little hesitant, he wanted to cross the river in his heart... It seemed that he had a bad start this time, and after so many generals died, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Sure enough, many people stood to the left one after another, only Qiu Fu, Zhang Fu and other people who were the guards of King Yan stood towards King Gaoyang.Everyone seemed to agree with Tan Qing that the place where King Gaoyang stood meant King Yan.

In difficult times, it is true that only the direct descendants of the guards of King Yan's Mansion are the most steadfast, after all, those people have no way out.

At this moment, Zhu Neng with a big mouth shouted to the general on the left: "In the past, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty lost nine times in ten battles, and the final battle won the world! Now we have achieved great victories all the way, with only a small setback in Qimeishan. Retreat and return?"

After Tan Qing listened, she thought that the Tan family and the Zhu family were usually on good terms and had close contacts, so Zhu Neng should not let Zhu Neng look down on her at critical times!He took a difficult step and walked to Zhu Neng's side.

At this time Qiu Fu also echoed Zhu Neng.

King Yan suddenly kicked over the chopping board, and said angrily: "Since you have followed me to fight against the enemy, you will be benevolent if you fail! If you can't win the army, you will be killed by the treacherous officials of the court sooner or later! Little cowardly, it's too late, and he will die sooner."

After hearing this, many generals walked to the right silently with their heads buried.

King Yan stopped his anger when he saw this, and said: "When you return to the camp, strictly control the soldiers, and kill those who escape! Afterwards, this king will rectify the troops and horses, and look for opportunities to destroy Xu Huizu!"

"Obey!" Everyone clasped their fists in response.

... On the south bank of the Suishui River, Xu Huizu chatted happily with Ping An and He Fu in the big tent.

He Fu expressed gratitude: "Fortunately, Duke Wei came in time, otherwise the Qi Meishan battle will cause our officers and soldiers to suffer a lot!"

But Ping An said: "General He is right, but we can't blame us. We have fewer people than Yan Ni, and we don't have many cavalry, so we are always passive. To be honest, I came all the way from Shandong, and the more I fought, the more I felt aggrieved!"

"Hey...Brother Ping!" He Fu winked.

Xu Huizu smiled all over his face, and said indifferently: "General Ping is right! I heard Sheng Yong talk about you, saying that you are good at using cavalry, but General Ping also has rules in using infantry, and I can't find any big mistakes. , it’s not bad.”

He Fu complimented Xu Huizu many times in succession.

Xu Huizu said again: "The battle of Qi Meishan is nothing to worry about, nothing to brag about. Li Bin and Wang Zhen are all unknown people, I haven't met my nephew Gao Xu yet...

I want to discuss with you, two days later I will lead the army to cross the river, and once again find Yanshi for a decisive battle!During the war, the King of Yan will definitely send Gao Xu up, and I just happened to personally test how good he is. "

He Fu suddenly said in a low voice: "In the army, there are imperial court secret agents, Wei Guogong should not constantly promote Yang Wang. If I am talking too much, don't worry about it."

"Heh!" Xu Huizu laughed, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

Xu Huizu said again: "There are countless capable people in my father's generation, but in our generation, there are few people I can look up to. In today's world, there are only Prince Yan and his son, I want to compete!"

At this moment, someone outside the tent suddenly shouted: "The imperial decree has arrived!"

After hearing this, the three looked at each other, stood up one after another, and greeted the outsider.He Fu hurriedly said: "Ask people to let the ministers into the gate." After that, he went out again.

They soon saw people from the palace, and the current one was eunuch Wu Zhong, whom Xu Huizu knew.

Wu Zhong got off his horse and came over, stopped the cavalry and armored soldiers accompanying him, cupped his fists and said, "Generals, shall we go inside?"

"Please! Eunuch Wu please!" He Fu said.

The group returned to the tent again, but Eunuch Wu didn't read out the imperial decree, and just handed the things to Xu Huizu with both hands.Xu Huizu took it with a bow, and opened it immediately.
