Longyang loves Qin

Maybe it was because of the rest of the night outside the city, or maybe it was because of other reasons, Ye Yu looked radiant, looking forward to the sky, and even had the killing spirit sharpened during the eradication of Chu. He stands out among thousands of people.

That's how Ying Zheng saw Ye Yu at a glance. His expression didn't change, but even Zhao Gao could sense that he was in a good mood.

Ye Yu reined in his horse and stopped, looked up at Ying Zheng on the city wall, and said with a happy face, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life, and won the land of Chu for the king."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Zheng continued: "Aiqing is tired all the way, please come to the city." He looked at Ye Yu closely, only to realize that Ye Yu, who was already slender, had lost a lot of weight now, although he was in good spirits , but his face was slightly pale, and he didn't know if it was because of the thinness or the cold wind.

He immediately skipped the red tape and summoned his generals into the city.

Zhao Gao understood, and immediately said loudly: "Welcome the army back to the city—"

The city gate creaked open.

After entering the city, Ye Yu obviously noticed that many troublesome procedures had been skipped. Forget about the small battles in the past. It is said that such a big victory this time means that other procedures have been removed. You still have to speak the official language. The result is a sentence None, not even the army was mentioned in Ying Zheng's speech.

Zhao Gao spread the word on behalf of Ying Zheng: "It's cold in the spring, the king is sympathetic to all the soldiers, and hot water and wine are prepared in the camp. When you go to the hall tomorrow, you will be rewarded."

This is indeed a kind of sympathy. The guard of honor of the army returning to the city is very beautiful, but it must be watched by the people.When the king travels, he has to clear the roads all around, that is to say, even if they go through the process in this cold weather, no one will watch them at all, and they suffer completely for nothing.

Thinking of this, Ye Yu immediately bowed in the direction of Yingzheng's carriage in the distance, and said with a smile: "The officers and men on behalf of the king thank you for your kindness."

Zhao Gao nodded, and would report back to Ying Zheng without Ye Yu reminding him.

Ye Yu recalled the celebration banquet that he hurriedly prepared to go to last time, and this time he remembered it, and asked in a low voice, "I wonder if this celebration banquet is before or after the court meeting?"

Zhao Gao shook his head and said, "General Yang and the others will be back soon."

This is to combine the celebration banquet into one.

Fa Chu and Fa Zhao's army had nothing to do with each other, and they only exchanged news occasionally, not very frequently, so Ye Yu didn't know that Yang Duan and the other side were coming back.

Yang Duan and the army were meant to contain Zhao Guo, and the progress didn't need to be fast, it was better to slow down, so now the time for the two armies to come back is about the same.

If I had known earlier, I would take my time on the road and enter the city together.

Ye Yu thought to himself and thanked Zhao Gao face to face.

After Zhao Gao left, Ye Yu passed on his words, and the people below praised Ying Zheng one after another. Some of these people might never see Ying Zheng in their lifetime, but today they were greeted by Ying Zheng at the city gate. It is already a great honor.

Although there was no rush for the celebration banquet, Ye Yu quickly finished his military affairs and went home because he was thinking about his son.

Obviously this decision was correct, because Ye Yu saw Ziying, who was only five years old, waiting for him to come back at the gate of the mansion, his big eyes lit up when he saw him, and he ran over with his calves.

Fearing that the horse's hoof would hurt him, Ye Yu didn't ride to the door, so he got off the horse, strode forward, squatted down, and hugged Ziying who ran over.

"My dear son, do you miss your father?"

"I think about it every day!" Ziying nodded solemnly.

Ye Yu, who was happy, put his face against the post baby's white and tender face. After feeling the coldness on his face, he frowned, "How long have you been waiting, why don't you wait inside?"

Ziying shook his head and said, "I'm going to wait at the door for my father to come back. There's a brazier next to it. It's not cold!"

Ye Yu raised his eyes and saw that there were really two braziers where Ziying was standing, and there were people surrounding them, so there was not much wind blowing, so he was relieved.

He was still wearing a bronze armored military uniform, so he was afraid of disturbing Ziying, so he put him down after hugging him for a while, and led him to talk.

While the father and son were talking, the white-hoofed crow that had just been dropped by Ye Yu also slowly followed up, snorting as if dissatisfied with Ye Yu's behavior just now.

Ziying's attention was immediately attracted. He had seen white-hoofed crow several times before, but he couldn't remember much.

Ye Yu asked the White-hoofed Crow to lower his head to pet him, and said with a smile, "You are almost of age. In two days, when Father finds you a pony, you can also start learning how to ride a horse."

Ziying patted the horse's head, turned around and held his head up and said, "I can ride now!"

Ye Yu was taken aback, "Master still teaches you this?" Wait, he didn't arrange physical education for Ziying.

"It was taught by the eldest son's husband." Ziying replied.

At this time, Zhao Cheng came over and explained to Ye Yu who was confused: "Last year, the king wanted to see Mr. Hou, so he summoned him into the palace. Later, Mr. Hou and the eldest son got on good terms, so he often went to the palace to accompany him. .”

After hearing the ins and outs, Ye Yu patted Ziying's forehead lightly, "Just run around."

But he didn't object. Ziying was a little lonely staying in the mansion, and it would be good to play with Su. As for the gentleman who taught him how to ride a horse——Feng Jie himself was recommended by him, and he was trustworthy in terms of ability and character. .

It was just that the plan to teach his son how to ride a horse in person fell through, and Ye Yu felt a little disappointed.

Seeing the white-hoofed crow from the corner of the eye, Ye Yu suddenly had an idea: "Have you ever ridden a big horse?"

"No." Ziying sensed what Ye Yu meant, and looked at Ye Yu expectantly.

Ye Yu smiled, got on the horse, bent down and pulled Ziying into his arms, holding the rein with one hand, and fixed the little guy with the other, "I'll take you for a walk first, and I'll take you out for a horse race when the weather clears up."

"Okay!" Ziying nodded heavily, then turned around and asked, "Can you bring the Eldest Young Master and the others?"

"They?" He knew that Ziying and Fusu had a good relationship, but who were they?

Ziying replied, "Second Young Master and Third Young Master."

Ye Yu had never met these two young masters, but he recalled that they were Young Master Gao and Young Master Jiang Lu, who seemed to be about one year younger than Fu Su.

"Father will help you ask the king at that time." After speaking, Ye Yu remembered that his son and Hu Hai were the closest in age, "Why didn't you call the fourth son?" Of course he didn't plan to have too much contact with Hu Hai, but he was a little curious.

Ziying curled her lips and stopped talking. It seemed that the relationship between the two was not good.

Ye Yu felt relieved, let Ziying sit down, and then began to trot around the mansion.Horses in the capital can't run too fast, and he was afraid of letting Ziying eat a mouthful of cold wind, so he just went back in a hurry.

On the next day, it was time for the big reward.

Ye Yu thought to himself that this time he probably just got some gold and jade. Of course, he still likes this kind of reward.

The fief he had agreed with Yingzheng hadn't been settled yet. The untitled Marquis of Guannei was fine, but the unfeuded Marquis of Che was not right. Even if he didn't mind, it would be a hindrance to Yingzheng's reputation.

However, Ye Yu recalled that because Qin wanted to bribe important ministers of other countries to pave the way for expansion, he scattered a lot of money and fought wars all over the world, so the treasury was probably empty.

If he was rewarded with a bunch of valuable gold and jade, the treasury would really bottom out.

Thinking about Ye Yu's heart ache when he mentioned Ying Zheng, he couldn't help frowning.

Did the court refuse... No, it would hurt Yingzheng's face.

After thinking about it, Ye Yu decided to reject it in private, and even started to draft.

No one would have imagined that General Ye, whose face was expressionless at this time, and who was still carrying the evil spirit from the battlefield, who dared not use a woman as a metaphor for him despite his handsome face, was thinking about what to do at the critical moment when he was about to reward him Help Yingzheng save money.

After a mandarin conversation, it was finally Ye Yu's award.Everyone can figure out other people's rewards, but Ye Yu, everyone didn't know his plan to win the government, so they all thought that he could become a Marquis this time, and they were very curious about his fiefdom.

However, when the servant finished announcing, these people were all stunned.

Not only them, Ye Yu was also surprised.

Yingzheng did not reward him with gold and jade, nor did he make him a marquis, but made him a minister, and in addition to the normal rewards, he also gave him the privilege of not entering the court.

Shangqing is also one of the titles, and it is not in the same system as Ye Yu's Marquis of Guannei, and although Shangqing is nominally the highest title above Chehou, and is known as Bixiangbang, it is an honor with no power at all. Nobility, at least the title of military merit also includes fief titles and other specifications, but Shangqing only has a salary of two thousand stones, a silver seal and green ribbon, and a lot of vanity, and even the threshold is much lower than that of Chehou. Because he has no real power, he can Easily blocked.

In the eyes of some later generations, Ye Yu probably suffered a disadvantage in being named Shangqing, and it would be better to have some gold and jade benefits.

However, in this era, vanity is the most important thing. This is Ye Yu's promotion to a higher rank. He has become Bixiangbang all of a sudden, and I don't know how many people envy and hate him.Even Li Sihan Fei and the others didn't feel that he had suffered a disadvantage.

And Ye Yu, who has always thought that vanity is useless, also laughed at this moment. How could he really be greedy for that bit of gold or vanity? He knew that this was Ying Zheng's kindness. Ying Zheng's move to save money without losing face made him very pleased.

Of course, Yingzheng really didn't confer such rewards for the purpose of saving money. He thought similarly to others. He felt that Shangqing was better, but he couldn't bear Ye Yukong's reputation as a Marquis but not his specifications, which made people look down upon him. , Only then did he think of Feng Shangqing's method.

With Ye Yu, Shangqing, at the front, the rewards in the back are really nothing, and no one expressed dissatisfaction with the few who were promoted beyond the rules, let alone Yang Duanhe and others who returned to the city later.

The celebration banquet had been delayed for several days, so on the night when Yang Duanhe and others came back to award the reward, the two-in-one celebration banquet was finally held.

Whether it was someone who came forward to congratulate Ye Yu sincerely, or someone who admired, envied or hated him, they all poured him wine with a smile on their faces.

After the previous celebration banquet, everyone knew that Ye Yu was not drunk after a thousand cups, so they lost all scruples, combined with multiple reasons, it was even bigger than the last time.

Ye Yu's seat in Shangqing is also much closer to Ying Zheng. In the second half, Ying Zheng saw that his face was slightly flushed and his eyes were not as clear as before, so he knew that he was still drunk.

"Ye Aiqing came to talk to the widow." Ying Zheng immediately uttered a voice to help him.

Ye Yu heaved a sigh of relief, glanced at him gratefully, and then sat down on the cushion that Zhao Gao placed next to Ying Zheng.

The people below didn't dare to make trouble with Ye Yu anymore, and they didn't dare to eavesdrop and spy, so they simply pointed the wine bottles at Yang Duanhe and other young generals.

Ye Yu looked at this scene, chuckled, and tilted his body, just right to Ying Zheng, but he was dizzy himself, so he didn't pay attention to it.

His throat was thirsty, and he habitually picked up the jug to drink, but he forgot that the one in front of him was Ying Zheng's short table, and he was holding Ying Zheng's wine vessel.

Naturally, Ying Zheng would not remind him, and even prevented Zhao Gao from getting Ye Yu a new wine vessel, and watched Ye Yu finish drinking quietly, the corners of his lips couldn't be restrained.

Ye Yu hadn't realized it at this time, Ying Zheng's wine was better than what he had drunk before, and now he got drunk again.

He put down the wine vessel, turned his head, and saw Ying Zheng's enlarged handsome face, and even a faint smile. He didn't realize it at the moment, and thought it was a dream.

"Your Majesty..." Ye Yu called softly.

"Huh?" Ying Zheng smelled the alcohol on his body, and turned his body a little away. It was not obvious from other angles, but he knew that the distance between the two was shorter.

"my heart--"

As soon as he said two words, he was interrupted by the servant who came over suddenly. He woke up like a dream, his eyes became clearer, "I think that I don't seem to have respected the king today." Picking up the wine vessel to toast, suddenly realized that there was only this wine vessel in front of him and Ying Zheng...

Seeing his embarrassment, Ying Zheng said happily, "I'm asking someone to prepare a set for you." As he said that, Zhao Gao brought a new set up.

But Ye Yu looked at the wine vessel he had drunk from, and didn't know whether to continue to use it or return it to Ying Zheng, his ears turned red.

While admiring the scene, Ying Zheng asked the servant who came over just now, "What happened?"

The servant knelt beside Yingzheng, and replied: "The news just came that Wei Guo attacked Han."

Ye Yu was already very close to Ying Zheng, so when he heard these words, he was completely awake and his expression became serious.
