over ten thousand people

In any case, before discovering new evidence, I must not act rashly.It's still the same old saying, all those in positions of power know it, but there are skills in doing it.If you do too much without paying attention, it will not be worthwhile to be labeled as a fool by later generations.

Every morning is still the same, every day the discussion is still the same, and the unfinished chess game is also going on.I have to tell the truth with my conscience, if other people have Xie Jingyu's chess skills, I will definitely keep him by my side for the rest of my life.It's nothing to be a high-ranking official and a generous salary. I'm afraid that people don't care about it at all.

"...Your Majesty, it's your turn."

I suddenly came back to my senses, only to find myself staring at Xie Jingyu in a daze.This is a bit embarrassing, especially when Xie Jingyu has obviously discovered it. "I was thinking just now, it will take a few days for the party general to return to Xingjing." I dragged out a shield without changing my expression and heartbeat.

"Your Majesty, can't wait?"

I nodded back. "It stands to reason that I've been waiting for more than two months, and it's not too short of a few days, but I just can't sit still."

"If the general of the party rode lightly and simply followed, I'm afraid he would have arrived long ago." Xie Jingyu said, "It's just a prisoner, so he walked slowly. Your Majesty, please wait a little longer. I estimate that it will only be seven or ten days. It's over."

The topic has completely changed to Party and Harmony, and I applaud my ability to divert attention in my heart. "What Xie Fengge said is very true." I praised, and then asked: "It seems that Xie Fengge is not in a hurry?"

Xie Jingyu glanced at me.Ever since I told him not to keep his head down all the time, he's not as reserved as before. "Your Majesty is impatient, so naturally I am also impatient."

This is so true... I can't help but slander, and I will continue my efforts: "If Xie Fengge hadn't strongly recommended the party generals back then, I don't know how long it will take for this dynasty to defeat the Xiongnu."

Probably because the subtext below was too dangerous, Xie Jingyu immediately said sternly: "The general of the party is able to make such a contribution, all thanks to His Majesty's appointment of meritorious deeds. If I do my best, His Majesty will appreciate it a lot. It is really my great fortune."

Back then, Xie Jingyu was still the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, so it was not wrong to say that he would do his best.But in the end it turned to Xie En, and I knew that Xie Jingyu knew it in his heart-if he said that he had a close personal relationship with the party and the party, I would have to suspect that he formed a party for personal gain and had ulterior motives.

This kind of Tai Chi, I have heard countless from him on weekdays, but today it is not so easy to expose. "Xie Fengge is resourceful and resourceful. He is the pillar of the country and the example of ministers. I wish everyone could be like you; but after thinking about it, this is really stupid - if real people were like you, I wouldn't have so many prime ministers for them ah!"

Xie Jingyu's face really changed.He suddenly got up and gave me a meticulous gift. "Since your majesty came to the throne, it is truly a blessing for the world to have great talents and great efforts to govern. What I want in my life is to serve your majesty. If you can help your majesty achieve great achievements, I will die without regret."

I looked at the man kneeling on the ground for a long while, then smiled and said, "Why are you learning from others? Why don't you just say that you are dead or not, and get up quickly."

Xie Jingyu got up according to his words, but instead of sitting down, he stood by the side of the chessboard with his eyelashes lowered.I figured that I didn't want to play chess with him for a while, so I let him quit.

"...Your Majesty, do you want the old slave to put away the chess table?"

I woke up from my contemplation and saw Liu Jin coming in at some point.Looking at the white jade chessboard again, it is already a mess. "Put it in the warehouse."

Liu Jin was very puzzled: "Your Majesty, this chess... It seems that I haven't finished playing yet?"

The chess game is not finished, but the players are gone, so what's the use of keeping the chess pieces? "Tell you to accept it."

Liu Jin finally heard that I was in a bad mood, so she hurriedly kept quiet, and the few eunuchs who called in afterward also acted lightly.I didn't lower my face until everyone retreated.

I have spoken very seriously today, but I still haven't forced Xie Jingyu's loophole; since this is the case, we can only wait for Yan Tongfu's next step.

Reasonable analysis, but those eyes still linger in front of me, forcing me to believe.For any other minister, the target may be what Xie Jingyu said - an extremely personable minister, whose name will go down in history.You don't even need to be famous to go down in history; being able to hang your own portrait in the Lingyan Pavilion when you are alive, and to be worthy of enjoying the Taimiao after death is the supreme honor in the hearts of countless courtiers.

I want to believe him, but I can't.Xie Jingyu is unparalleled in the country, but who can guarantee that he has no second thoughts?

**

April [-]th, Xinwei Day, is suitable for offering sacrifices and praying for good luck.

I changed my crown early and waited on the imperial tower.The Northwest Army returned to the capital today, decorated with lanterns, festoons, flutes, flutes and drums. Needless to say, the honor guards in full costumes lined up from the city gate to the Taimiao and then to Chengtian Gate. The tune of "He Chaohuan" resounded throughout Xingjing City.

"The emperor's style of the four seas is quilt, and the thousand years of virtue are clear. The military uniform is not worn, and today's success..."

My heart was agitated, and I unconsciously grasped the carved wooden railing in front of me.

Wang Ruojun, who was on the sidelines, saw the change of mood, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the singing was so loud that the people must have felt it, so they spontaneously sang together. It is indeed the auspiciousness of this dynasty and the joy of Your Majesty. Your Majesty Wencheng Wude, Zebei the common people, is the blessing of the ministers, the blessing of the world!"

With him taking the lead, all the ministers followed up one after another: "Your Majesty's martial virtues have been achieved, and the common people will be blessed, and the truth is the blessing of the ministers, the blessing of the world!"

Although I don't like to listen to words of praise, but there are really happy events, such as this moment, it is still very useful. "My beloved ministers, hurry up and get back on your feet. If you did not work together and work hard, I am afraid that we would not be where we are today."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment!"

Officials of the third rank or above are eligible to climb the imperial tower together. I easily recognized Xie Jingyu from a small piece of his back.Jiankang City was broken in the late spring, a full 13 years ago; comparing the two, the situation is very different, I don't know what he thinks?

After that, there are auspicious gifts and captive rites.After the congratulations are finished and the prisoners are taken away, the sun has already risen to the sky.I ordered people to prepare a big banquet in front of the Taiji Hall, enough for thousands of people to drink together.

The party and the army shot and killed Shan Yu in front of the battle. This was his first credit, and he was naturally the object of everyone's toast.At the time of the expedition, the northwest frontier defense was at stake, neither I nor he had the heart to chat.If I hadn't dreamed of this scene, I'm afraid I wouldn't know his temper at all, let alone entrust him with important tasks.

I wish I could have another dream, so that I could be completely relieved.

In a few days, the Dragon Boat Festival and the summer solstice will come one after another.I stayed with the party and rested in Xingjing for a month before returning to the northwest, and the daily rewards were sent down like running water.Naturally, the banquet will not stop: after the number of accompanying guests changes from a thousand to a hundred to dozens, I will have a legitimate reason to give a private banquet.

Dang He is more than five feet tall, thin and vigorous.Although he has been in the northwest all year round, his skin is fairer than Zu Miao's.This face is not very convincing, so I preferred him back then, and many ministers advised me to think twice before acting.Fortunately, after Danghe went to Longyou Road, there were frequent reports of success, which can be regarded as stopping those people's mouths.

"...If His Majesty hadn't trusted me and stood up for him, I would never be where I am today——I would like to respect Your Majesty again!"

Once again, he did it first and respected him, and I couldn't help crying secretly.The party and nature are bold and aboveboard; they are brave and brave, and they fight like gods, so they have a high prestige in the army.I know that the way he expresses his feelings is simple and direct, just boring; but the problem is, the party and the vast amount, I am not!

After drinking another large glass of wine, I almost suspected that Dang He had been planning to get me drunk since he returned to Beijing, and now he finally found his chance.

"Your Majesty is really straightforward, and you are a role model for me!" Dang He said loudly, "Actually, today I have a ruthless request, and I would like to punish myself with three cups first!"

As long as you don't ask me to drink three cups, I can say anything unfeelingly, and I am relieved.To Dang He, drinking three cups was nothing more than raising his hand three times, and he drank it all in one go. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Dang He wiped the residue from his mouth, and didn't care that his hands were full of wine. "Your Majesty, your prospective minister will stay in Xingjing for a month, and you will be rewarded every day, as well as good wine and good food. I will be grateful to you. But I think that this month is too long. I will go back."

I raised my eyebrows and didn't speak immediately.

Seeing this, Danghe continued: "Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty wants to do everything possible to compensate us soldiers who killed the enemy in blood. But I am a big bastard. If I ask you to drink this fine wine, it is better to drink the roast made by the local method." The knife is strong; rewarding the ministers with a lot of gold, silver and jewels is far less enjoyable than killing the enemy's head with their own hands. In addition, the northwest is bitterly cold, and Xingjing is rich and prosperous, with good food, good housing and good fun. I am afraid that if they stay for a long time, they will be trapped. I can't get out of the gentle village."

Leaving aside other things for the time being, I have indeed heard that the Qinlou Chuguan in Xingjing City has been doing quite well recently. "It turns out that there isn't a single beauty in Xingjing that can please the party general?" I suppressed a smile, and deliberately misunderstood, "It's because I was negligent."

Dang He was in a hurry. "Your Majesty, I don't mean that!" He hastened to argue, "I'm poor at the age of marriage, and my family is destitute. However, my wife has never left me for more than ten years, and I have never complained about taking care of my food and daily life. I have already I swear that I will never let her down in this life. If I leave my messy wife behind as soon as I get rich, wouldn't I be a treacherous villain, how can I convince the public?"

I have said long ago that it is extremely normal for a minister who is qualified to go to the Golden Palace to have a dozen or so concubines in his family.Danghe is now on an equal footing with them and holds real power, but still insists on only marrying one wife, even if he has made a vow long ago, that is quite rare. "The general of the party is really a person who values ​​affection. It is indeed inappropriate for me to make a joke." I said sternly.

"Your Majesty is clearly aware." Dang He let go of his tense shoulders, "That minister's unfeeling request..."

"I am the Son of Heaven, once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow. I said that January is January," I looked at Dang He's face that was immediately sluggish with a smile, and slightly dragged my voice, "Unless—— there is something else that matters thing."

The joy of the party and face is fleeting. "Beating gongs and drums may not be able to coax the remaining Huns back, so what else is there?" He sighed.

I was really amused. "But I heard that Huihe and Shatuo coveted the land with rich water and grass that the Xiongnu occupied before."

This reminder couldn't be more clear, Dang He's eyes lit up. "But those are our Da Zhou's now!" He was very excited, "Your Majesty, I want to..."

"There are suspected changes in Huihe and Shatuo. I order you to go back immediately after the Dragon Boat Festival and find out one by one."

Dang He immediately knelt down. "I accept the order! I wish to be His Majesty's vanguard forever!"

I am very satisfied.Dang Hesu is loyal and loyal, and he will do what he says; as long as he is there, the Northwest will be stable for a day. "Okay, why don't you get up?"

"Chen..." Dang He hesitated a bit, "I have one more merciless request, Your Majesty."

"What?" I was in a happy mood, and my tone was very light.

"The matter of returning to the northwest early, I dare not say it, it was said by Minister Xie." Dang He lowered his head and murmured, "I am afraid that after your majesty listens to it, you will just refuse my request, and you may have doubts about your heart. But Xie Xiang said, His Majesty has the world in mind, as long as the subject is truly for the country and the people, His Majesty will definitely agree."

Ever since I heard Xie Jingyu's name, I had an ominous premonition. "Oh? So, it's Xie Fengge's merciless request?"

Dang He couldn't hear the emotion in what I said, so he raised his head quietly, met Zhen's gaze, and then quickly lowered it. "It's not Mr. Xie, but the minister himself. If Mr. Xie knows, he must blame the minister for his troubles."

I couldn't hold back a cold snort in my heart.The two of you have a good relationship. If you know he blames you, you have to say it. If you dare to agree or disagree, you will be playing a white face? "What's the matter?"

Dang He hurriedly said: "The minister and Xie met at the end of Wei, and it has been more than ten years now. Although the minister is dull, but the minister knows that it is impossible to bury the talent of Xie Xiang. There are some things that are not easy to talk about, as long as they avoid it." , it doesn’t really matter. But when I returned to Beijing recently, I realized that Prime Minister Xie had confessed to His Majesty.”

etc?Does this mean that Dang He knew that Xie Jingyu was fond of Nanfeng?

I'm dumbfounded.I always thought that Xie Jingyu was trying to delay the attack, but it turned out to be true?

Danghe didn't notice it, and continued: "Over the years, Prime Minister Xie has worked hard and devoted himself to doing things for me. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. No matter how difficult the affairs are, I have never seen him frown once. And when I returned to Beijing this time, Xie Xiang seems to be full of thoughts. I dare to ask Your Majesty..."

It's as if I disregarded the wishes of my loyal ministers and forcibly forced the marriage, I really can't listen to it anymore. "I have already promised him that I will not give him a marriage."

Dang He wanted to say more, but was taken aback when he heard this. "Your Majesty, is this true?"

I'm pretty annoyed. "He doesn't want men or women, what do you think I can do?"

"You don't want men or women?" Dang He repeated, suddenly a look of enlightenment. "I just said why he was so sad, it turns out..."

Although the anger has not subsided, my curiosity is still aroused.Dang He even forgot what he claimed to be, so he must have guessed a part or two of the truth. "So what?"

"He must already have something to belong to." Dang He replied firmly, and then finally remembered that he was still in front of me. "Returning to Your Majesty, what I mean by this minister is that Mr. Xie has someone in his heart."

"You pretend I never asked you that?" I went around and back again, I couldn't make a sound, "Xie Fengge has a hard mouth. If he doesn't admit it, I can't do anything about it."

"It must be that Mr. Xie doesn't know what to do." Dang He said firmly, "No matter what Mr. Xie does, it seems that there is nothing in this world that can trouble him, but unexpectedly, he was defeated by the word love in the end. God is very fair, very fair!" The more he said, the happier he became, and finally he laughed happily.

"...Do you still have an unfeeling request now?" I looked at him silly, quite speechless.

"It's gone, it's gone!" Dang He hurriedly kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

That's what he said, but the corners of his mouth were almost grinning to the ears.Before, I wished I could take back my life for Xie Jingyu, but now I'm gloating again. I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for Xie Jingyu to have a party and such an old friend.

Then again, Xie Jingyu is now the hottest figure in Xingjing City, it is not difficult to marry a prince or noble daughter, who else can make him think about it?
