Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Xu Huaiyi returned home and told Gu Huanxi what happened in the morning court. At the end, he said gloomily, "The people of the three prefectures in the east are going to suffer again. The royal family is fighting for power, and the people have become innocent victims. This matter will not be resolved in a year or two..."

After a pause, he sighed and laughed, "A year or two is still good. If Emperor Yongping is always afraid of me and dares not let me lead the army to quell the rebellion, then this war will be fought. By then, I don't know how long it will take to waste people's money and labor. The people's hard-earned lives have just started to improve. After this toss, I'm afraid they will go back to the past..."

Gu Huanxi rolled his eyes at him and snorted, "It's fine if you say this to me, but if outsiders hear it, they will think you are arrogant and look down on others. There are so many military commanders in Dayong, are you the only one who can lead the troops to fight?

Not to mention the distant past, your good classmates, Li Yunting and Zhao Sanyou, have also been through a lot, and are not lacking in experience. Their skills are slightly better than yours. Do they have no chance of winning on the battlefield?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "They are certainly not bad, but to be honest, they are still a little young. It is no problem for them to lead 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers, but they are too young to be the commander and fight against the old fox King of Chu. It is more appropriate for them to go to the border..."

He analyzed calmly, "For the time being, the border battles are all small-scale. Unless the King of Chu is on the verge of victory, they will not start a large-scale war. Otherwise, they will just keep testing the waters and try to gain some benefits without really fighting. To put it bluntly, they don't trust the King of Chu that much, and the King of Chu certainly won't trust them completely. He just wants them to tie down part of Dayong's troops..."

Gu Huanxi said, "As for your master, the veterans of the three camps have also been famous for a long time, so don't worry about it. The country belongs to the Yuan family. Emperor Yongping is not anxious, so why are you anxious?

If he doesn't let you go, you can have some free time and avoid suffering. Is fighting in a war a good job?

Besides, our family doesn't seek to make any achievements. Now our achievements are so great that the lord is afraid of us. If you win another battle, how can he reward you?

Give you a king with a different surname?

Is he willing to do that? "

After listening to this, Xu Huaiyi opened his mouth, but swallowed his words back in annoyance.

Seeing this, Gu Huanxi smiled and said, "Am I wrong? You are worrying about others here, and they appreciate your kindness? It is not your place to meddle in other people's business. The more you meddle, the more annoying you become. Do you understand?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded quickly, "I understand, I understand this principle very well, I am just telling you, I didn't say a word at the court meeting this morning, don't worry, I won't take the initiative to ask for battle!

What I'm pursuing is not business. Even if I'm worried about the war and concerned about the people, I won't go and take the lead despite the fear of Emperor Yongping!

Not really!

Besides, as you said, our family has no shortage of military merits, so it is best to avoid them."

Gu Huanxi looked at him, half believing and half doubting, "Can you really bear it?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded heavily. "Now that the national treasury is full and the food and grass are sufficient, the imperial court is not afraid even if it is a protracted war. The King of Chu is the one who cannot afford to waste time."

"Okay, remember what you said now, and don't let it get you slapped in the face someday."

"Haha, definitely not, unless Emperor Yongping begs me to go to the battlefield."

Would Emperor Yongping ask him to lead the army? Of course not, unless half of the generals in the court were no match for the King of Chu, and the battles were lost one after another, threatening the safety of the capital and his throne!

Only if it really comes to that, Emperor Yongping will dare to give him the military power, right?

Xu Huaiyi both expected and did not expect.

A few days later, after a round of negotiation in the court, there was finally a result. Emperor Yongping issued several imperial edicts in one breath to mobilize troops and generals. Detailed arrangements were made for the Japanese pirates in the south, the Tartars in the north, and the rebellion of the King of Chu. For a time, all the civil and military officials in the court were busy with the war.

Only Xu Huaiyi became a idler. The war had nothing to do with him. He still held the position of deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, but in fact, all the power was now in the hands of Han Cheng, and he gradually became a decoration.

Under the imperial power, no matter how powerful one's personal abilities are, one has to behave himself.

Who told the emperor not to use you?

Everyone in the court could see that Xu Huaiyi had "fallen out of favor". Some were secretly delighted, some were gloating, and some were sympathetic and indignant for him.

Xu Huaiyi was not affected at all and continued to live his life as usual.

Some people think that he is just trying to save face, while others secretly admire his calmness in the face of praise or criticism. He is not arrogant when he is successful, nor depressed when he is unsuccessful. He truly has the demeanor of a great general.

What a pity...

Next, several armies left the capital one after another, some heading south, some heading north, and some heading to the eastern coast. All together, there were 200,000 troops. It was a mighty and awe-inspiring procession. Emperor Yongping personally came out of the palace to see them off. He was passionate and boosted morale, which turned out to be a wonderful story.

Xu Huaiyi stood in the crowd, looking at him expressionlessly. The emperor in his prime was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe that looked a little empty, but he was in high spirits and full of energy, just like a chicken with blood. He sneered in his heart, how many pills did he swallow before going out? He was risking his life just to improve his reputation!

The health condition of Emperor Yongping should have been a secret that could not be touched, but with Han Jun and Doctor Jiao around, it was as clear as day to him.

The elixir forcibly stimulated Emperor Yongping's vitality, just like overdrawing a credit card in advance. It feels great to spend now, but you have to pay it back sooner or later.

He waits!

When that day comes, the illness will come like a mountain, and it will be out of control.

However, Emperor Yongping thought he had suppressed Xu Huaiyi, and he went to court for several days with a smile on his face. Everyone could feel that he was in a good mood.

Xu Huaiyi cursed the villain countless times in his heart, but he was so happy just because he had lost face and slapped him in the face.

Humph, sooner or later you will cry.

Because of this, Han Jun secretly returned home at night, had a drink with Xu Huaiyi, and tried to comfort him in a roundabout way, for he was afraid that he would be unable to get over it and do something weird again.

Xu Huaiyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was half drunk. After the show ended and he got into the RV, he held Gu Huanxi's hand and complained, "Han Jun underestimated me, didn't he? I haven't been through anything. I'm not young, and I'm still hot-tempered. What's the big deal?

Isn't it just that everyone else went to the war and I was left behind? What's the big deal? Sanyou went, Yunting went, even Mengping went, but I didn't go. How will others see me? Hey, they must be laughing at me behind my back. In terms of martial arts and courage, in terms of military strategy, I am the leader of Jingwu Academy. But the annoying Emperor Yongping didn't let me go. He is publicly executing me...

As a military commander, not allowing him to go to the battlefield, not allowing him to lead the troops, damn it, this is more cruel than ruining his future, this is going to ruin me...

Bastard, I'm waiting for the day when he'll regret it!"

Gu Huanxi listened to him cursing patiently. The more he talked, the more excited he became. In the end, he fell asleep on the bed with drunken eyes and muttered to himself.

The next day, Xu Huaiyi woke up and seemed to have forgotten everything that happened last night. He looked relaxed and did what he was supposed to do, with no signs of disguise at all.

Gu Huanxi suddenly felt distressed. No matter how open-minded he was or how indifferent he acted, he was actually still feeling upset, right?
