They all say I'm a puppet

The worries of Fu Yu and Cang Lin soon came to an answer. Three days later, at the morning court, Chen Yuan announced that he himself would be the marshal of the march and lead the army to the southwest to fight against the Xili Kingdom.

As soon as Chen Yuan made this decision, the entire court was silent. After a moment of silence, the courtiers began to discuss rustlingly. Chen Yuan stood quietly in the middle of the hall, letting them go with a smile on his lips. Arguing, until the arguing stopped, the hall fell silent again.

With his hands behind his back, Chen Yuan glanced at the faces of each of them, and then said lightly, "If colleagues have opinions, it's okay to say so."

No one would stand up at such a time. What Chen Yuan just announced was his decision, not to be discussed with everyone.What's more, looking at the whole court, at this time, apart from Chen Yuan, they couldn't think of anyone else who could lead the army.

Everyone's reaction seemed to be within Chen Yuan's expectations, he raised the corners of his lips and showed a smile: "During the period when the official is not in Beijing, I will be replaced by the official Su Kun to assist the government. As for the guarding of the imperial city, General Xun Cheng will be in charge of it. I also hope that all of you can work together to assist His Majesty, so that you can pass this time safely."

Everyone was silent for a while, and finally bowed: "The ministers must obey the teachings of the Taiwei, assist His Majesty, and abide by their duties."

Chen Yuan smiled: "This is the best."

No matter what Chen Yuan thought in his heart, he finally made the decision to go out in person, for Fu Yu, this caused waves in his heart.Chen Yuan will definitely not go to the Southwest alone, all his cronies will go with him, even though he has arranged all the affairs in court, but for Fu Yu, this is a rare opportunity.

It is said that Su Kun has been friends with Chen Yuan for many years, and Chen Yuan has great trust in this person, otherwise he would not be at ease sending one of his sons and daughters to Fu Yu's side to become the emperor's teacher, and the other simply became the queen.But according to Fu Yu's observation in the court and indirect inquiries from Su He and Empress Su, Su Kun is very smooth, and all he has done over the years is only for self-protection, but he may not really be devoted to Chen Yuan.

So for him, the only troublesome thing is probably that Xun Cheng.

Since he came to the throne, Xun Chengcheng was in charge of guarding the Changle Palace. Fu Yu had a lot of contact with him, but he had never been able to see through this person. He could only be cautious in front of him, for fear of revealing something.Now that Chen Yuan left the capital and sent this person to guard the capital, Fu Yu should be more cautious.

A few days later, Chen Yuan led his army to leave the capital and headed to the southwest. At the same time, all kinds of undercurrents in the capital that had been silent for a long time began to stir, and various forces in all directions could no longer hold back. Set off a monstrous wave.

Half a month after the army led by Chen Yuan left the capital, He Hongyi, who had lived in the northwest for three years, took the lead in launching an attack. His eldest son He Zheqi led an army of [-] to attack the Nanxia General Zhao Ying who was stationed in Hedong.

It was completely within Chen Yuan's expectation that He Hongyi would take the opportunity to attack, which is why after making various choices, he finally chose to lead the army south and never let Zhao Ying leave Hedong.Zhao Ying has been stationed in Hedong for three years, with rich reserves and strict military management, occupying the right time, place and people, facing He Zheqi's attack without hesitation.

From the southwest to the northwest, two places were attacked. Fortunately, the Nanxia Yangyang Kingdom has accumulated for many years, and it can handle it.But the pity is that the people in the two places have to stay away from their homeland and become displaced.

But no matter what the situation in the southwest and northwest battles is, the capital is still peaceful and peaceful.

After Chen Yuan left, the atmosphere in the imperial city seemed to be much more relaxed.Contrary to Fu Yu's expectations, that Xun Cheng didn't send people to follow him every day, and let him wander around the palace. Even Xun Cheng himself almost never appeared, so that Fu Yu almost suspected Chen Yuan Ordering Xun Cheng to be responsible for guarding the imperial city was just a pretense, in order to intimidate those who were interested, in fact, this person had already gone to the southwest with Chen Yuan.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the osmanthus trees in the imperial garden are blooming one after another, exuding a burst of fragrance.It was rare that Su He didn't rush back home after morning class this morning, Fu Yu saw that he was in a good mood, so she simply invited him to go to the Royal Garden to enjoy the sweet-scented osmanthus.

Although Su He has been the emperor's teacher for a long time, he enters the palace almost every day, but in order to avoid suspicion and to avoid being accused, he shows up at Changle Palace on time every day, returns directly to the mansion after class, and never stays, so he is very strict with the palace. Don't really know much about the situation, let alone wander around.

Holding Xiao Hei in his arms, Fu Yu led Su He towards the Imperial Garden, introducing him to the places he passed while walking. Su He listened attentively and didn't say much.When he arrived at the Imperial Garden, Xiao Hei saw the familiar scenery and was no longer restful in Fu Yu's arms. Fu Yu bent down to put it down, watched it get into the bushes again, then looked back, turned to Su He and said: " Everything in this palace looks good, but the imperial garden is the most relaxing place."

Su He nodded, looked up at the osmanthus tree beside him, took a deep breath, and the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms immediately filled his nostrils: "The scenery here is really good."

Fu Yu glanced at the osmanthus tree along his line of sight, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Zhengyang Palace sent me an osmanthus cake today, saying that it was made by the queen herself, and I haven't had time to eat it yet. Mister should have a taste."

Su He smiled, hiding the disappointment in his eyes: "Since it was given to His Majesty by the Queen, and it is also the Queen's wish, how dare I go beyond that."

Fu Yu frowned: "There are no outsiders here, sir, why do you say that?" After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes to Cang Lin who had been standing quietly by his side, Cang Lin immediately understood, "I'll go get it, and bring a pot of tea by the way. Your Majesty and Mr. Su waited in the front pavilion together, and happened to enjoy the sweet-scented osmanthus and eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

Fu Yu rolled his eyes: "Okay, you know me best."

Cang Lin smiled at him, and walked quickly, but didn't see the smile on Fu Yu's face collapsed behind him, and a little tangle rarely surfaced on his face.

Fu Yu led Su He to the pavilion and sat down. Su He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Fu Yu: "This is all the things you asked the queen to check for you. The day is inseparable, and I was afraid that I would not find the right time, so I sent it back to the mansion and entrusted me to hand it over to you."

Fu Yu stared at the letter for a while, finally stretched out his hand slowly, and took the letter over. He smiled and raised his eyes to Su He: "Have you read the contents of this letter?"

Su He lowered his eyes: "Yeah." Having said that, he couldn't help sighing, "In the past few years, I have seen that he doesn't behave like an ordinary servant, and he is very talented, so I appreciate him very much. But I didn't expect..."

Fu Yu's fingers clenched tightly, crumpling the envelope: "Listening to Mr.'s words, it seems to be somewhat similar to what I expected."

Su He looked at him quietly, and couldn't help but said: "I was already very dissatisfied when I was asked by my father to enter the palace to be your husband. After entering the palace, I found that you couldn't read a few words. I was very disappointed. I thought I met a fool, but after this year, I realized that you seem to be dull and cowardly, but in fact you are transparent and quick-witted, it's just that you are bound by the throne."

Fu Yu smiled, and shook the envelope in Su He's hand: "Mr. said this now, as if he was mocking me."

Su He shook his head, and finally sighed: "The person will be back in a while, you should read this letter first, so that I can take it out and destroy it later, so as not to leave mistakes."

The smile on Fu Yu's lips faded a little, and finally nodded, reached out to tear open the envelope, and opened the letter inside.

In the past few years, he has learned a lot of characters and read a lot of books with Su He. Although he is still not as good as those masters who have been familiar with poetry and books in the past dynasties, at least it is very easy to see such a simple letter. easy.The content of the letter was not too much, just a few words, summarizing a person's background, Fu Yu had already read it and understood it.

He refolded the paper, stuffed it back into the envelope, and handed it back to Su He with a smile: "Thank you, sir. As for the queen, I will have a chance someday, so I can thank you personally."

Su He stared at him for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "What are you going to do?"

Fu Yu smiled and asked, "What do you think I should do?"

"When it is broken, it is broken." Su He said, "Although I am called the emperor teacher, I should teach you how to love the people and govern the world for the emperor, but the current situation is like this, and you alone cannot change the decline of the Nanxia royal family. , the strategy of governing the country that I teach you every day can’t help you regain the power from the powerful ministers, let alone I know that your ambition is not here.” He shook his head lightly, “After all, I’m just a scholar , At this time, it is useless."

Fu Yu chuckled lightly: "Sir, why should you underestimate yourself." Speaking of this, he lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, "Give me a few days to think about it, and I have to trouble Mr. and the Queen, after all, This so-called lord is the real one, useless." Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed, "But if I can solve it here, the Queen's place can be regarded as an end to a big trouble."

Su He hid the envelope back in his arms and sighed long.There was still a smile on Fu Yu's face, he turned his head, looked towards the Changle Palace through the pavilion, and saw a figure dressed in blue-gray inner servants walking towards the imperial garden from a distance , Fu Yu stared at the figure for a while, and felt a little sore in his eyes, and an indescribable meaning came to his heart.

He turned his head, retracted his gaze, and whispered, "He's back."
