In the back hall, Wei Shuzhi accompanied the little eunuch who came to announce the decree.

"Master Wei, this is the sixth cup of tea, if you wait any longer, you won't be able to leave today."

The little eunuch put down the teacup and stared at Wei Shuzhi with wide eyes.

"Excuse me, my little eunuch, please wait a little longer. After all, my lord is a family man. I don't know when he will be back after going to Beiguan. It's human nature to have a lot to say with the wangfei, isn't it?"

Wei Shuzhi seemed to be in a good mood, and blinked at the little father-in-law as he spoke, meaning that you understand, father-in-law.

"Hmph, my lord is in a good mood. If the military situation is delayed because of the private relationship between the children, this crime is not something you and I can bear."

The little eunuch glared at Wei Shuzhi.

Looking at the little father-in-law, Wei Shuzhi didn't say much, and went out with his hands clasped.

After getting out of the room, Wei Shuzhi didn't look for Zhao You, but walked towards the kitchen instead.I'm afraid my prince is busy now, I'd better order the kitchen to prepare the food first, lest the little father-in-law say that the Chu palace is neglecting the guests.

On the sixth day of the rapid march, when Zhao You rushed to Yandi with Langyan and others, the army of the Northern Expedition had just advanced to the vicinity of Yandi.

Opening the curtain of the commander's tent, he saw a tall and straight young man standing with his back facing him, his eyes fixed on the marching map hanging in the commander's tent.It was the first time for He Shangbing to meet Zhao You. When he was in the capital, Zhao You didn't have to go to the early court, so he was really not familiar with this prince.

"The general will meet the general at the end."

"Vice General He, I have been waiting for you for a long time, come and see this place..."

He Shangbing didn't expect Zhao You's first words when he saw him was to show him the marching map and discuss military affairs.Surprise is nothing but surprise, but it has something to do with the military situation, he can only put aside the surprise in his heart for the time being and focus on what Zhao You said.

Kyoto.

"Have you heard, in fact, the current emperor is not the heir of the former emperor."

As soon as the man dressed in a short shirt opened his mouth, a lot of people gathered in the small tea shop to join in the fun and listen to gossip. After all, the royal gossip doesn't happen every day.

"Brother, don't talk halfway!"

The man in the short shirt stopped talking after saying a word, instead he leisurely drank the tea in front of him.He stopped talking halfway through, and the people on the other side became anxious and urged him loudly.

"Little brother, you are impatient at first glance, wait for me to drink this water to moisten your throat and tell you slowly."

Putting down the tea bowl, the man raised his head and smiled at everyone, then spoke.

"Actually, the fourth prince is the current emperor. He is the heir of the former General Zhengguo and the current Duke of Lu and Concubine Yu."

"Impossible, impossible. Duke Lu was a hero who fought against the barbarians in the north, and the old Duke is an upright person. How could he do such a thing?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, someone jumped out to refute.

"Believe it or not, anyway, I believe it. My brother was in the palace. I heard him say that when he was in court, the emperor would rather send the king of Chu to Beiguan than let Lu Guogong take risks. This is not a typical guardian. Do you want Duke Lu?"

It was not the man who said this, but one of the people who came to join in the fun.

"If you don't believe it, you just don't believe it. Today's sage is wise and powerful, and he is definitely the heir of the late emperor."

"Wise and powerful? I can't see it. I traveled all the way from Suzhou to Kyoto, and I met dozens if not hundreds of refugees. If the emperor is really as wise and powerful as you said, will there be such a situation?"

"You...you are talking nonsense."

……

The following topic also evolved from pure gossip to political discussion. In the small tea shop, there were three groups of people. One group insisted that the emperor was wrong, another group believed that the emperor was a martial artist, and the other group was watching a movie. of.

No one saw it, and when everyone was arguing, the man who started the topic had already paid his bill and left the small tea shop at some point.

Three days later, there were already a lot of messages in Kyoto, all of which revolved around whether the emperor was the heir of the former emperor or not.

Another three days later, the people talked about not only the emperor, but also Duke Lu and the concubine Yu who passed away.

Messages were flying all over the sky, the emperor naturally knew about it, but to everyone's surprise, the emperor did not stop it, but allowed it to develop.So the ministers who were uncertain about the emperor's mind were divided into three categories.

The first category is those who play it safe and pretend to be confused. They all live in seclusion recently, adhering to the theory that the less you know, the less danger, for fear that if you accidentally run into the bad luck of today.

Among them, there is another group who actually believed in these rumors, and heard that the Duke of Lu liked all kinds of good weapons, so he began to search for Baba to send to the Duke's mansion with great fanfare, hoping to curry favor with the Duke, hoping to get the emperor's favor. Appreciate the steady progress.

The last category is a group of civil servants headed by the prime minister, who wrote to the emperor twice in three days asking the emperor to severely punish those who spread the rumors, but the papers sent were like a stone sinking into the sea, and disappeared without a trace.

All in all, the court is not peaceful like Beiguan.

"General, this should be the last battle. The rabbit bites people in a hurry, let alone these barbarians."

He Shangbing stood behind Zhao You on the wall of Beiguan City, his tone was rather worried.After staying at the border for nearly a month, this pampered servant in Beijing lost a lot of weight and looked a little more stable than before.

"It's okay, I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow, I'm afraid Vice-General He will have to take care of the peace negotiation, I believe the court will come soon!"

Hearing He Shangbing's words, Zhao You took a deep breath, and only after a long while did you faintly reply with a confusing sentence.

"General, you are..."

"Vice General He, go back and have a good rest. You will know what I said tomorrow."

Zhao You smiled, patted He Shangbing on the shoulder, and went downstairs by himself.

The snow in the north is very beautiful, but since arriving at Beiguan, Zhao You has no intention of admiring the rare snow scene in the south, and has devoted himself to the tense battle.

When Zhao You saw Qiming and Fourteen next to the leader of the barbarian tribe who attacked the dynasty this time, he was determined. If nothing else happened, the two of them should have gained the trust of the leader. If this is the case, the next thing will be Easy to handle.

Looking at the four similar letters from Kyoto, Zhao You thought it was funny.

The first one was sent by the emperor's secret guards, which probably meant that there were a lot of messages in Beijing, asking Zhao You what he thought of this matter, and how Zhao You had trained his soldiers, and said in the letter that if the Northern Army was not enough, it would be fine. Mobilize those soldiers.

The second one is from Wei Shuyu, saying that the message has been released, and the day when Zhao You returns to Beijing will be the day of the incident, and let Zhao You intentionally win over the Beiguan Army to see if he can use Beiguan The fighting power of the army to break through Kyoto.

The third is Jiang Qingnuo's handwritten letter, in which he said that the person Zhao Yourang was looking for had been found, and he was recuperating in a safe place, and explained in detail the reason for leaving the message, and attached a Now Zhao You can trust the list of generals in the Beiguan Army.

Looking at the long list, Zhao You couldn't help being speechless. At first, he thought that his mother was just keeping a dark hand in the court, but he didn't expect that his mother was still prepared here in the north.

Silently writing down the names on the list, Zhao You smiled:

Empress Dowager, I wonder how many things you have left for your child?

Picking up the last letter, Zhao You was a little dazed.

The handwriting is so familiar, I remember that when I was in the Chu Palace, I painted it myself, and it was such a beautiful handwriting that was mentioned on the painting.

Yaoran, what are you doing now?

Rubbing the letter with fingertips, Zhao You looked at it word by word.

The content of the letter is probably that she has met her father, and now she is taking care of the daily expenses of Zhao You's army together with her father. At the same time, she also mentioned a few things about the battle of wits and courage between herself and the old and stubborn uncles of the Su family. There is also information about Yao'er's recent situation.

The little guy has been lingering in the 'Zuichunju' recently, wrapped in butterfly clothes, and also attached a few words that Yao'er has learned recently.

At the end of the letter, there is only a few sentences: Recently, I have no intention of dressing up.

It was just a short sentence, but Zhao You was drunk watching it, and wished that he had grown wings and flew back to the beautiful woman immediately.

Putting the letter on his heart, Zhao You felt inexplicably calm:

Tomorrow, tomorrow I will be back...

The next day, before the horn of the Great War sounded, the decree arrived at Beiguan in a hurry.

The one who delivered the edict was the little eunuch who announced the edict last time, and at this time he was wearing a thick eunuch uniform tightly attached to his body.When Zhao You entered the tent, the little eunuch's hands were already red from the cold, but the imperial edict was still tightly held in his hands.

I don't know what to do.

For this scene, Zhao You gave an evaluation from the bottom of his heart.

"What's the matter with Eunuch coming to Beiguan this time? Could it be that Eunuch came here specially to visit this king in this bitter cold place!"

Zhao You smiled slightly, with a friendly tone.

"My lord was joking, this time the younger one is still here to deliver the decree."

Seeing Zhao You and his party leaving without a trace, He Shangbing stood on the Beiguan City, not knowing what to feel.

"General, here they come."

He Shangbing didn't come back to his senses until he heard the voice of an elementary school next to him from behind.

"Let's go, go and see what conditions they give!"

After taking a deep look at the distant figure, He Shangbing reluctantly turned around and went down to the city.The king of Chu, Zhao You, doesn't seem to be the rumored idle prince, maybe in the near future, he will have to call that person the new emperor...

"There is a good show waiting for me in Beijing this time! Don't you think so?"

Immediately, Zhao You smiled at Wei Shuzhi beside him.

"It's okay, the play is ready, let's see if it's okay."

Wei Shuzhi followed Zhao You's words.
