I'm happy after being scumbag

The thought of "whether Zheng Gong and Guo Mu should be brought to the border town" briefly crossed Lu Mingyu's mind.But soon, he crossed it out again.

Regardless of whether Zheng Yi or Guo Xin is in charge, if they can leave Lingnan, they should know how their family members will be treated.

Lu Mingyu was not a cruel emperor, but lost his fugitives, Zheng Gong, Guo Mu and others, as his closest people, naturally had to undergo a lot of interrogation.

Even so, Zheng Yi and the others left.After walking away for several years, he changed his face and collaborated with the enemy and treasoned the country.Such a person, even if he saw his father being brought up and died in front of the battle, he would only hate Lu Mingyu a little more, rather than feel that he did something wrong.

Lu Mingyu turned to think about whether he could use the identities of those two people.

Zheng Yi's biggest reliance is nothing more than "knowing yourself and knowing the enemy".If he uses his familiarity with the generals of the Great Zhou to guide him to make some wrong judgments—more specific plans, Hou Jie and others will have to think about them.Lu Mingyu wrote down his guess about Wusu Khan's identity, and sent it to northern Xinjiang urgently along with other orders.

Even later, the southwest defender arrived at the border town.

It was already mid-April.The weather in the border town is still cold, but the city of Chang'an is already full of flowers and willows.People put on light and thin spring shirts, and even the summer clothes were turned out if they were impatient.

Although the war is still going on, Chang'an is far away from the flames of war.The people have to live, and the courtiers can't just discuss the war situation.After the spring plowing was slowly over, someone brought up the old story again: Your Majesty, is it time for the draft?

The booklet was placed in front of Lu Mingyu.Lu Mingyu saw it, and put it aside like every time in the past three years.

Li Ruyi put away the notebook and sighed secretly.

He was worried and thought: After so many years, His Majesty still can't forget General Yan.

If Lu Mingyu knew what Director Li was thinking, he would probably laugh.

When all the emotions faded, he thought of the proposal of "returning to the Palace of Yonghe to be Yunlang" proposed by himself and Yan Yunge, but he had no choice but to give in to the original impulse.

Fortunately, Yan Yunge did not agree.After all, he is not a fool, knowing that if he stays, things will not end well.

Among other things, even if Lu Mingyu really didn't care about his identity at the beginning, he didn't care about what the Yan family did in the past.When Zheng and Yi escaped, the emperor looked at "Yun Lang" who had a deep relationship with those two, how could he not care at all?

What Yan Yunge said was correct, Lu Mingyu could deceive himself and others for a while, but he couldn't deceive himself and others for the rest of his life.

Just leaving like that, and An Ansheng staying in Lingnan is the best result for him.

As for always being unable to bring up the draft, that's another matter.

To this day, Lu Mingyu still remembers how his mother was sitting by the window, idly watching the magpies.

Thinking about it later, she still had vermilion palace walls and towering sky in her field of vision.It's just that the magpie can still fly away, but she can't leave again.

This is true for the queen, let alone other concubines.Those like Concubine Shu and Concubine Yan Tai are exceptions after all.More concubines of former emperors entered the palace at their best age, and they will be lonely and lonely for decades afterwards.

Lu Mingyu didn't want others to make the same mistakes again.He had already figured out that since he would have no more children, the heir would still have to be chosen from among the sons of the kings.It's just that this time I can't let people who are older than me come.You have to be a prince who is young and still easy to teach.Don't want many people, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the battle for the heirloom.Choose well at the beginning, and teach slowly over the next ten or so years.

Let's talk about the war in northern Xinjiang.

The General Zhenxi who just arrived was surnamed Zhao and named Yue, which was also a name Lu Mingyu had heard since childhood.

He is an authentic Lingnan native. He has led the army to fight against the barbarians in the southwest for many times and has rich experience.

Even so, Lu Mingyu also knew that the weather and landforms of the two places were completely different, how much of Zhao Yue's past experience could be used? ...But there is really no one in the court. Although Hou Jie has good news, he has been seriously injured before, and now he can't hold on.Zhao Yue made the choice out of desperation, Lu Mingyu could only hope that Hou Jie would last a little longer, and give Zhao Yue more explanations and adjustments.

He didn't dare to report too much hope, but the following battle report was completely beyond Lu Mingyu's expectations.

Zhao Yue's arrival seemed to be a watershed.Going forward, although the Great Zhou army had some victories, it was accompanied by heavy casualties.Lu Mingyu even vaguely felt that maybe the four cities were not really "taken back" by Hou Jie, but that Zheng Yi realized that it was difficult for him to defend the city, so he gave up on purpose.

But after Zhao Yue went, everything reversed.

First, two more cities were recaptured.Afterwards, Zhao Yue found hundreds of spies in the four cities that he took back earlier.

When the news came out, Hou Jie and others broke out in a cold sweat.They knew best, if these spies were not found, but mixed among the common people, walking in the city on weekdays, facing them--what kind of catastrophe it would cause.

In the papers reported by several people, they all praised Zhao Yue.Lu Mingyu was originally worried that these generals from various factions would not be convinced by each other. Before the Khitan side came to fight, the generals of the Great Zhou would fight among themselves first.Looking at it now, there is no need to worry about it.

Zhao Yue is equivalent to their "savior".How can you not respect your benefactor?

Lu Mingyu relaxed a lot, smiled, and finally opened Zhao Yue's notebook.

He read it carefully.When seeing a certain point, the eyes change.

Li Ruyi saw that the Son of Heaven looked at the content of the compromise, first he was stunned, then his eyebrows were raised, and his fingers stroked certain lines on the book again and again.

When he finally put it down, Lu Mingyu remained silent for a long time, and finally wrote a reply with cinnabar.

Because the memorials of these generals were all in a hurry for eight hundred miles, Director Li did not open the booklet to read in advance like before.Now, he is slightly curious.

What was written in it that made the emperor react like this?

However, it's just out of curiosity.It is reasonable to read the memorial because of official duties.Looking at it out of selfishness is suspected of spying on military aircraft.

Li Ruyi suppressed her emotions.Until another ten days later, there was another battle report, and Manager Li sorted it out according to the usual practice.Looking at the content on the booklet, he finally had a vague answer in his heart.

One person was repeatedly mentioned in General Zhao's memorial.In what he said, this person was just a small soldier in the past, and was selected into the personal guard when Zhao Yue went north from Lingnan.All the way back, this little soldier was making suggestions for him.Later, when I came to the border, captured the second city, and arrested the spies, there was a shadow of this person inside.It can even be said that without this soldier, there would be no good news to Chang'an one after another.

Zhao Yue is not an intolerant general.In a short period of time, due to his outstanding achievements, that man has become a captain.Now it is repeatedly mentioned in the battle report, which means: Wasn't His Majesty worried that the generals would not be picked up?Now not only are there successive wars, but he has even found the seedlings of the next General of Zhenbei for His Majesty.

If this is the case, it should be a simple and good thing for the emperor.

The problem is that the name of the young man repeatedly mentioned by Zhao Yue has a word that the emperor is very familiar with.

His name is Yungui.

When Li Ruyi saw these two words, she felt a "thump" in her heart.

What's more, the Son of Heaven.

With these thoughts in mind, when the emperor read the battle report today, Li Ruyi was quite disturbed.

He saw the Son of Heaven sitting in front of the case, with his back straight and upright, looking down at the content of the memorial quickly.

Li Ruyi's eyes swept over the emperor from time to time.

He saw the emperor look over page by page.Finally, General Zhao finished talking about the new battle situation, and the pen and ink fell on that "good seedling" again.

Li Ruyi swallowed and held her breath.

Then, he watched the emperor read that page at the same speed as before, and turned it over again.

Li Ruyi was taken aback.

After a long time, the emperor smiled and said "OK", and Li Ruyi finally realized it.

From the beginning to the end, the emperor didn't make any unnecessary reactions to that name.

It turned out that he was thinking too much.The difference when the emperor read the scriptures before was probably because he had read the news of the stalemate in the war for too long.Finally, there is a victory, no wonder the attitude is different.

As for Lu Mingyu, he was really happy.

How not to be "good"?In just ten days, another city was recaptured—this speed was almost comparable to that of last autumn when the Khitan attacked [-] cities in the northern border in a row.

Counting the time, Lu Mingyu's last round of approval has not yet been sent to Beijiang, and the new city has already been taken back.

This makes the emperor not happy.

He smiled slightly, turned his head to talk to Li Ruyi, and said: "Help me remember, Zhao Yue must be rewarded heavily. Oh, and there is also this 'Yungui'."

When he said the last two words, Lu Mingyu's expression was as usual.

This is just an ordinary name, at most there are some coincidences that only a few people will care about.

Although Lu Mingyu did have the thought of "This name, could it be..." when he saw the excerpt for the first time.But now, Lu Mingyu has excluded himself from that "very few people".

"If he really has the great merits that Zhao Yue said," Lu Mingyu said, "the mere position of captain is to underestimate him. Li Ruyi, we have not had a new general in the past seven years. Wait until the war is over." , this person will return to Chang'an with Zhao Yue and hand over the military talisman. At that time, I will—"

When he said this, his voice gradually slowed down.

Lu Mingyu was thinking.

He originally wanted to say that when they came back, it was when "Yungui" was awarded the title.

The Ministry of Rites will prepare a grand ceremony.However, even so, it seems that it is not enough to match the glory of the other party, and it is also not enough to express the emperor's mood of obtaining a good talent.So the emperor smiled again, stopped his original voice, and said, "No, I have a new idea."

Li Ruyi suppressed her previous thoughts and cheered for the emperor: "Your Majesty is saying?"

Lu Mingyu had already turned around.He still had a smile on his brows and eyes, and his eyes fell on the booklet again, and said: "Wait until the twelve cities are recaptured, Wusu Khan is captured, and the Khitan people are trapped outside the city wall. No, it is until they are like the Turks back then." Ordinarily, in the grasslands, you are like a bereaved dog. I will personally go to the border town to reward the three armies!"
