History of Yongwu

Xianghou Mansion

The butler quickly walked through the middle hall and entered the back hall. Sitting in a chair, Xianghou saw his eyebrows raised, "What's the matter?"

"Letter from the North" the butler bowed and sent it.

There was only one line of words on the letter, Xiang Hou read it quickly, took out the fire pocket and lit it "Prepare the car, Prince An's Mansion"

"Yes"

The carriage arrived at Prince An's Mansion soon after, Xianghou got off the carriage, and went straight into the inner hall without any notice.In the flower hall, Princess An was sitting on a chair and immediately stood up when she saw him.

"Father"

"Where's your lord?"

"In the study." Wei Shi said and led him to the study.

In the study, Qin Jian was looking at several official documents that Zhao Shangshu had given him, when he heard footsteps, he raised his head.

"Prince" assists and salutes.

"Father-in-law" Qin Jian hurriedly helped him up, and asked, "Why did you come in such a hurry?"

"Prince" Xianghou looked at him, lowered his voice subconsciously, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty Mutuo City was assassinated"

ah!Qin Jian's eyes widened, he was a little flustered for a moment, he turned and ran towards the door subconsciously, just as he took a step, he remembered the emperor's uncle's instructions in the past, and suddenly stopped his steps.

"Father-in-law, when did this happen, and how did you know?"

"The old man has his own way. This matter has happened for many days, but the news has only been sealed, and it has not spread to Beijing for the time being, but it will be soon!"

Then why didn't Zhao Shangshu tell him, Qin Jian sat aside with his head half lowered and looked a little gloomy, Zhao Zhiping must have known about this, but deliberately didn't tell him, what was his intention.

"My lord, the most urgent thing is to stabilize the morale of the army and prevent those with evil intentions from taking the opportunity to cause chaos." Xiang Hou looked at him.

"Is it wrong?"

"King Jianning, have you forgotten, my lord?"

Qin Jian suddenly realized, and stood up quickly, "I'm going to see He Tiao"

"Prince" Xianghou caught up with him, his expression changed, "Prince is deeply trusted by His Majesty, if you go too far against the order, you will be the one to uphold the laws of the country"

Qin Jian lowered his eyebrows, looked at him, nodded, and left quickly.

"Prince" Wei saw him running out in a hurry, he had a bad feeling in his heart, and followed his footsteps to "return safely"

Qin Jian stopped the impatience in his heart, turned around and took her hand and said, "Don't worry, you wait for me to come back." He looked at Wei's swollen belly.

Wei Shi nodded vigorously and watched him leave.

water town

The drizzle began to fall at night, and it continued to fall until dawn. Rainwater accumulated on the eaves and fell in clusters in the courtyard. At night, the wind entered the door, staring at the puddle of water on the ground for a while, and then suddenly left.

The guest post, the weak rain can't stop the people who love to be lively, but there are more guests here, and the evening wind pushes the door and enters, listening to the noise in the ear, frowning and going upstairs directly.

Sister Hong was sitting downstairs, caught a glimpse of him, raised her eyebrows and did not speak, she was selling tofu at night, deliberately avoiding everyone, and hadn't been to the guest house for a long time, as if she was suffocating, isolating herself in the middle of the world outside.

In the private room, as soon as Lin Wanfeng entered the door, Xue Qianqian stood up and looked at him in surprise. Firstly, brother Xiaofeng hadn't been to the guest house for a long time, and secondly, at this hour, it is not time to rest.

"Why didn't Brother Xiaofeng rest at home?" She took his cloak.

"Can't sleep" sat down facing the evening wind, staring at the street as usual "This rain is too disturbing"

Ha ha... Xue Qianqian smiled, stood up and said, "Sister Hong said just now that there is nowhere to go in this weather, why not close the shop and have a drink, and you just came, so I'll call them"

Lin Wanfeng looked back before he could stop him, Xue Qianqian had already gone downstairs, he thought for a while, and sat there without moving.

After a while, Brother Hu and Fusheng both came, and the assistants took care of the store. They gathered here and took advantage of the drizzle to steal half a day's leisure.

After a while, several people's faces were smeared with wine, talking and laughing were common trivial matters, and several people deliberately avoided Bai Liuye's affairs because of the evening wind.It's not that I don't feel sorry for Bai Liuye, it's because that one is far away in the sky, and this one is close in front of my eyes, and in Sister Hong's words, let the little boy regret it.

"Where's Hu'er?" After not seeing each other for a long time, Lin Wanfeng also had a smile on his face.

Qianqian picked up Fusheng's cup, took a sip, frowned and said, "Ru'er is watching him, and my buddy, it's all right."

"Ru'er can help now, how long will my family have to wait?" Fu Sheng chuckled and talked a lot more through his drunkenness.

"Hurry up." Sister Hong raised her pretty eyebrows, waved her hands and said, "A few years will be here in a flash. I don't know what the child is blowing up, and he looks different every day."

"Sister Hong" Lin Wanfeng looked at her with a smile, "Who would say that about my child?"

Brother Hu sat aside, looked at Sister Hong's delicate red face, and smiled innocently, as if he didn't hear what his wife said.Lin Wanfeng glanced at the two of them, looked down at the wine glass in his hand, and for some reason did not speak again.

"Slowly you will know, the days are coming soon." Sister Hong was old-fashioned, and she glanced at Lin Wanfeng with deep meaning.

It has been seven or eight years since she left the last 'Guest Inn'. Niu Fei's death seems like yesterday, but in a blink of an eye, Ru'er is so old, and Little Sixth Master has been away for so long. How many days are left? so dangling.

Lin Wanfeng sat under the window and did not make a sound. Brother Hu looked at his wife, and rarely echoed, "Yes, in the past ten years, how many emperors have changed in Jianye City?"

The people in other places are fine, but the people in Wu land saw that the mighty King Wu died, and King Jin came. In the blink of an eye, King Jin died, and Jianye City honored the Young Emperor, but in a blink of an eye, the bright moon came back, and this place became Emperor Mingguang again. of.

Emperor Mingguang was captured in the Northern Expedition, King Yu was emperor for two days, and was quickly driven away by Andinghou. Then the master of the world changed again, and the resurrected King Jin became the emperor, so the people around Jianye felt that this Emperors and generals come and go too quickly.

Fu Sheng put away Xue Qianqian's wine glass, held it in his hand and said with a smile, "No, I heard that the emperor is going to change again."

"Why?" Lin Wanfeng asked.

Sister Hong chuckled twice, and said to him, "You are isolated from the world, the new emperor's Northern Expedition is not going well, I heard that people in Beijing are in a state of panic." As she spoke, she thought of Wang Er who was willing to inquire about this, and smiled for a while. .

The palm trembled, Lin Wanfeng started to look out of the window again, not speaking.

The four were chatting enthusiastically, but no one paid attention to his expression. Xue Qianqian sat beside him and asked casually, "Who is the next emperor?"

"I heard it's King An," Fusheng replied.

"King An is not the emperor's son..." Big Brother Hu muttered.

Sister Hong giggled, leaned towards him and said, "How can the emperor have a son?"

As long as there is no war, how many replacements are just a joke for ordinary people, Lin Wanfeng looked at the gloomy sky again, and the corner of his mouth drooped.

"Bai, if I didn't know you, this should be my joke."

"What did Brother Xiaofeng say?" Xue Qianqian mumbled when she heard it, and turned to look at him.

"It's nothing." Lin Wanfeng stood up and picked up the cloak, "I'm drunk, I'm going back first."

"I'll see you off," Sister Hong said, and followed him downstairs.

Outside the door, the raindrops on the eaves are much smaller. Facing the evening wind, I put on my cloak, look at the pedestrians on the street, and turn around to salute.

"Sister Hong, I was wrong and offended a few days ago"

"I'm still angry with you." Sister Hong chuckled, looked at him and suddenly said, "Master Liu is in the north?"

"How do you know?" Lin Wanfeng stopped abruptly.

With a sneer, Sister Hong didn't answer. Anyway, she has been in the world for so long. If others don't notice the little boy's expression, it doesn't mean she can't notice.

"What about being a soldier in the northern border?" She asked without answering.

Lin Wanfeng hesitated, nodded, "It's pretty much it."

"No wonder you don't go to the capital, this time you won't be spared," Sister Hong said, turning around to leave.

Lin Wanfeng was stunned for a moment, grabbed her and said, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Sister Hong took a look and left.

When she was young, she went to the northern border to smuggle goods. She had seen the severe cold of the Hu land and the toughness of the Hu people. If Bai Liuye really went there to become a leading soldier, he would die in all likelihood. What's more, the new emperor is still deep in the hinterland, and how many people can return from the desert.

North

Qin Yu had a dream, in the dream he became very old, with a long white beard, there were always figures in front of him, calling his name in a gentle voice, he desperately wanted to see clearly, but always I can't see clearly because of poor eyesight.

Who is it?Let me see!

"Your Majesty" Du Xuetang sat beside his bed, calling him softly.

The confused eyes gradually became clear, Qin Yu looked at the person in front of him, and smiled with the corners of his mouth, "You're fine now."

"It's all right." Du Xuetang lowered his head, saw the smile on his mouth, and said slightly displeased, "Your Majesty is ignoring advice again."

"That's right." The smile widened, and Qin Yu stared at the soft corners of his brows, "I was wrong."

With a dazed expression, Du Xuetang's eyes slipped from him, "Your Majesty can't be wrong, it's Li Han's ineffective protection."

"I don't need to admit my mistakes to Li Han"

Du Xuetang opened his mouth, Qin Yu didn't dare to let his question come out, and interrupted, "You also made the decision without authorization, but our army won a big victory, it is your credit, there is no crime, but..."

"I was wrong too." Du Xuetang finally smiled slightly, "I'm sorry."

"Prime Minister, Zhong Xing is here to consult His Majesty." Li Han's voice suddenly rang outside the tent.

"Come in." Du Xuetang restrained his expression and replied calmly.

Zhong Xing slowly entered the account. Seeing that His Majesty had woken up, he was stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward in surprise, "How does Your Majesty feel?"

Qin Yu gave him a sideways look and said, "It's nothing."

"God bless Your Majesty, I will prescribe the medicine right now." Zhong Xing hurriedly walked out again.

Du Xuetang watched him go out, without looking back, got up slowly, and saluted, "Take care, Your Majesty, and I will leave."

"Thank you for your hard work, Aiqing," Qin Yu replied calmly.

Master Xue left, and the big tent became quiet. Qin Yu stared at the blue gauze tent, and slowly closed his eyes, trying to return to the dream just now. Although he couldn't see clearly, it felt very warm.

In the desert, the war came at an untimely time. The war horses ran over the grasslands that had just sprouted green shoots, leaving only a bare patch, and the north wind blew up, sending waves of dust and sand.

Qin Yu stopped behind the yellow sand and looked at the blurred city. Huyan City is much more majestic than before, and it has already shown the majestic appearance of the imperial capital, but there cannot be two imperial capitals in this world.

A cough surged in his chest, Qin Yu pressed back abruptly, looked away, and he and Li Han returned to the camp.

He has heard a little about the affairs in Beijing, and he believes that Mr. Zhao can still suppress a Xianghou. As for Jian'er...he has already thought of an idea.

Inside the military tent, Zhong Xing was checking his pulse while Qin Yu leaned on the short couch, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

"Your Majesty seeks an audience"

After waving his hand to signal Zhong Xing, Qin Yu opened his eyes and looked outside the door and said, "Come in."

"My minister sees Your Majesty"

"How's the food?"

"General Yue personally escorted the food, Your Majesty can rest assured." Du Xuetang bowed slightly.

"This thousands of miles of desert is different from the mountains and rivers we are familiar with. The barbarian cavalry come and go without a trace, so it's better to be careful," Qin Yu ordered cautiously.

"Yes" Du Xuetang accepted the order.

"Aiqing, do you have anything else to say?" Qin Yu looked at him hesitantly.

Du Xuetang nodded, looked at him and said, "My minister suggests peace talks with Hu Yantai. As long as the Hu people are willing to pay tribute, our army will return to Xuancheng."

Heh... Qin Yu suddenly smiled, looked at him and said, "Why did the prime minister change his mind?" Wasn't it 'obedience' before?

Du Xuetang shook his head and said, "Your majesty is the most important thing for me, and the government is not stable. Since your majesty has won a big victory, the teacher at this time is the best."

"Are you worried about King An?" Qin Yu frowned.

"I am worried about people with ulterior motives." Du Xuetang met his gaze and said calmly, "King An may have deep affection for His Majesty, but what about the Marquis Xiang? Besides, there is King Jianning in Beijing, and the Queen Mother lives in Nanshan Palace. They can all threaten His Majesty while the army is out."

"Xianghou is only looking for profit, as for the others..." Qin Yu's eyes changed, and he said lightly, "They dare not"

"Hu Yantai has been severely injured. His Majesty will withdraw from the army at this time and return to the capital to rectify the court. After three years, when the court is prosperous, it will not be too late to conquer the Northland again," Du Xuetang said to him.

I'm afraid that at that time, I can't bear to travel long distances.Qin Yu didn't comment, nodded and said, "Since Huyan City has been besieged, we can't just return without success, and we'll talk about it later."

In the end, Xiangye Xue had no choice but to leave, Qin Yu leaned back and stared at the map of Dayong in the tent.

"Zhong Xing, where's the medicine?"

Zhong Xing quickly brought it over, bent down and brought it to His Majesty the Emperor. Qin Yu looked at the medicine bowl, raised his hand without hesitation, and drank it all in one gulp. Zhong Xing was surprised for a moment, His Majesty took medicine so simply for the first time !

"Go down"

Qin Yu closed his eyes and leaned there again. In just five more years, he will be able to completely eliminate the influence of the dead clan on Qin Jian. His empire was handed over to Qin Jian, and he had no worries.

Ten years, give me another ten years!
