The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

Shen Yu froze for a moment before realizing what Shang Junlin was referring to, and not to be outdone, said: "Your Majesty can try."

"Ayu promised me, and I can't go back on my word when the time comes." Shang Junlin chuckled.

"I have nothing to regret," Shen Yu licked his lips, "Your Majesty, who is different, should have a different taste."

Shang Junlin bit his earlobe, picked up the painting on the table: "Why did Ah Yu think of drawing such a picture?"

"Perhaps it's because I've heard too much these days, and I can't help but wonder what it would be like for His Majesty to go to battle to kill the enemy." Shen Yu has never seen such a Shang Junlin, and people always have feelings for things they have never seen before. Great interest.

"Ah Yu wants to see, to put it bluntly, there is the armor I wore back then in the palace, and I asked Meng Chang to find it." Shang Junlin was happy to grant some harmless small wishes.

After getting the order, Eunuch Meng went to the warehouse to find the armor that Shang Junlin wore back then, wiped it clean, and presented it.

Shang Junlin raised his arm and signaled the palace man to put it on for him, but was stopped by depression.

Shen Yu looked at the armor that was glowing with coldness, and said, "I can already imagine His Majesty wearing it."

Shang Junlin came over: "Why don't you want to watch it?"

"This armor, I hope that I will never see His Majesty wearing it." The gloomy voice gradually lowered.

What will happen when the emperor wears armor?

This is possible only when there is no one available in the court, and there is such a possibility. Shen Yu hopes that Dahuan will have long-term peace and stability, and such a day will never happen.

"Since Ayu doesn't want to see it, I won't wear it anymore," Shang Junlin waved, "Take it off."

The palace man retreated out with his armor on.

Seeing that Shen Yu was not in high spirits, Shang Junlin deliberately said something that would make him happy.

"Bei Mo was defeated. I asked the Prime Minister to discuss compensation with the Minister of the Household Department and other ministers. Is there anything Ayu wants?"

"Bei Mo is willing to compensate? They offered it on their own initiative?" Shen Yu was surprised. No matter how you look at it, Bei Mo doesn't seem to be so generous.

"Of course not. They only sent a letter of surrender. I asked for compensation. They took the initiative to provoke, and they should pay the price for it."

"What Your Majesty said is, don't let them feel heartbroken, they will dare to do it next time." Shen Yu couldn't agree more with Shang Junlin's approach.

"Some ministers in the court still feel that it is out of style to do so. I think you and them have been stupid in studying all these years. What kind of demeanor can you talk about with the snatchers who invaded Dahuan?" Speaking of these sour old officials, Shang Jun Rin is dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty don't need to care about them. Compensation is necessary. Which war did not sacrifice? Even for these sacrificed soldiers, they should pay full compensation."

As for the person who died on the other side, what?Isn't that what you want to open your own website?What's the matter with us Dahuan?

"In this war, Gu Huai performed very well. After a while, he will be able to return to Beijing to report on his duties." Shang Junlin stroked his gloomy long hair.

"Has His Majesty announced his achievements in court now? Does Imperial Physician Gu know what Gu Huai has been doing during this time?"

After all, he was a person who had shared hardships in his previous life, and in this life, there was Imperial Physician Gu in between, so it was impossible for Shen Yu to ignore Gu Huai's situation.

"Not yet. There are some problems with his identity. I plan to wait for him to come back."

Originally, without this sudden war, Gu Huai would have to stay in Subei for at least three or four years. With such a long time to act as a buffer, the possibility of maneuvering in the middle is high enough.

Subei.

In the Subei Army barracks.

After the victory of the war, the general of the Subei Army waved his hand and held a celebration banquet to reward those who deserved the reward with delicious food and drink.

"What is Little General Gu doing?"

Gu Huai was sitting alone drinking, when a general who was usually on good terms with him came over.

The two touched the jug, and Gu Huai said, "What should I say if I want to go back?"

"Just say no. General Gu has done a great job this time. If you don't say anything, the court will remember it for you."

"It's not that, it's because I don't know how to tell my family that I'm hiding from my family." Gu Huai took a sip of his wine.

"So I was worried about this. It's okay. A good man has ambitions all over the world. Besides, you have made great achievements now, and the family will not blame you." He could understand that Gu Huai was not too old. The young brothers refused to accept, after a few victories, everyone was convinced.

No matter how young he is, he is indeed talented in using soldiers. No matter how difficult the situation is, he can turn the tide. It can be said that as long as he makes a move, he has no chance of losing the battle.

The people who were sent to his team, from being dissatisfied and disdainful at the beginning, to now saying "General Gu" one by one, I don't know how convinced they are.

Gu Huai looked at the moon in the sky and stopped talking. It was the first time he had been separated from his brother for such a long time, and he still left without saying goodbye. He wondered if his brother was angry.

"By the way, you are from the capital city. The medicines in the capital city are really useful. Thanks to the ones brought by Wu Taiyi, many wounded soldiers were able to save their lives. Our current emperor is also generous in his actions, and the military pay is free. If it hadn’t been for making up the food and salaries immediately after the disaster relief, it would be much more difficult to win this time than it is now.”

After winning the battle, the people in Subei rejoiced, but on the contrary, the atmosphere in Beimo was gloomy.

When the war was launched, the Beimo people never expected that they would lose so badly.

"Didn't it mean that the Subei army was not paid enough? This is what you said they couldn't last for a few days?" Thinking of being played around by the Subei army these days, the Emperor Beimo was furious.

"This... The news from Subei before is indeed that the Subei Army's military pay is used to help the people. At that time, our people have not been discovered, and it is impossible to send false news back."

"Then how do you explain the current situation?"

The ministers faltered and could not speak.

"Forget it, if you lose, you lose, and the letter of surrender is also given. Anything else will be in vain." Emperor Bei Mo seemed to recognize the situation, and sighed deeply.

If you can't beat it again and again, what else can you do besides accepting your fate?

"Your Majesty, I heard the news that one of Dahuan's lords led troops to rebel, why don't we cooperate with that lord..."

Emperor Bei Mo's eyes flashed: "What else is going on? Tell me carefully."

The speaking minister's eyes were half downcast, covering the calculations in his eyes: "I also heard about this incident by accident. In fact, the emperor Dahuan most preferred was not the person who is sitting on the throne now, but another prince, who is This time the troops want to take back His Highness the King of Yue who belongs to him..."

Under the night, countless conspiracies were brewed in the operation of people with good intentions.

After dinner, Shen Yu and Shang Junlin took a walk in the corridor.

Shen Yu: "Even if we win this time, Your Majesty should pay more attention to the movements of Beimo, especially now that there is still the matter of King Yue unresolved."

Shang Junlin: "Ayu thinks that King Yue will collude with Bei Mo?"

Sullen: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the people who controlled Feng Pingqi back then? They also had contact with the batch of Subei officials who were dealt with. Although no conclusive evidence of their collusion with Beimo has been found so far, this cannot be ruled out." possible."

Shang Junlin: "With this defeat, Bei Mo's hatred for Da Huan will only deepen, especially since I have caused them to lose so much. If the two sides have a way to contact, it is very likely that they will really collude."

In order to prevent this from happening, Shang Junlin ordered officials from all over the country, especially places like Subei that border the North Desert, that they must report as soon as possible if any changes are found.

The imperial court's intention soon spread to Subei.

He Chengyu and Jiang Huaiqing are now able to take charge of their own affairs. After Fang Jun left, they grew up quickly, holding Subei firmly in their hands, and using the fastest speed to get Subei on the right track.

Compared with managers, Fang Jiayi prefers to deal with Bei Mo, because of the previous achievements, the imperial court also awarded her a more suitable official position.

Yao Ji did not leave, but became a small official working under Fang Jiayi, and changed her name to Jiang Yao.

With Fang Jiayi's outstanding performance in front, the whole Subei accepted the appearance of the No.2 woman working in the government very well.

After the imperial decree came down, the upper-level officials of Subei got together to discuss follow-up matters.

"What the imperial court means is that it is not enough for Beimo to surrender, and it is necessary to compensate for the losses caused to Dahuan this time."

"I was worried that the court would simply accept it. The document from Beimo was just a title of surrender, but it didn't mean to reflect on what I had done."

"They probably think that Dahuan won't care about them. After this document is sent to Beimo, I can imagine the expressions on their faces."

"This time, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Master Fang again."

Nowadays, none of the Subei officials knew that as long as Fang Jiayi made a move, Bei Mo would have absolutely no chance to fight back and could only surrender.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and Shang Junlin's birthday is approaching.

Last year, Shen Yu gave him a water control manual, which was half a gesture of goodwill. Now the relationship between the two is very different from before, and the gift they gave should also be different from before.

Due to special circumstances, this year's birthday banquet for Shang Junlin was not held.

On the day of his birthday, Shang Junlin was still busy with state affairs.

Shen Yu prepared a birthday gift in advance, which was a painting.

Unlike Shen Yu's last painting, which was dominated by black on the battlefield, this painting is dominated by warm colors, full of spring, and birds singing, presenting a vibrant scene.

Thinking about sending out the painting as soon as possible, Shen Yu didn't sleep well that night.

Feeling the person in his arms turning over again, Shang Junlin had no choice but to hold him tightly in his arms: "If Ah Yu really can't sleep, you can do something else with me."

Shen Yu was actually very sleepy, and pushed Shang Junlin with half-opened eyes: "What time is it now?"

"It's almost midnight, go to sleep, we'll talk about tomorrow if we have anything to do." As he said, Shang Junlin patted his gloomy back lightly.

"No," Shen Yu struggled to open his eyes, "I have to go down."

Shang Junlin hugged the man and did not let go: "If there is anything for the palace servants to do, it is very cold outside at night."

"It's a gift for His Majesty, doesn't Your Majesty want it?"

Shang Junlin reacted for a while, then remembered that tomorrow is his birthday, and said a little funny: "Is Ayu staying up most of the night just to give Zhen a birthday present?"

The drowsy and gloomy mind was not sober, thinking that Shang Junlin didn't like it, and said in a low tone: "If your majesty doesn't like it, forget it."

"Why don't I like it?" Shang Junlin couldn't bear to be depressed and sad, so he hugged him and coaxed him, "No matter what Ayu gives, I like it."
