History of Yongwu

school ground

Qin Sheng took the sweat towel and wiped off his sweat. Deng He, who was standing by, saw Li Han and reminded him, "My lord, General Li is here."

"Brother?" Qin Sheng turned around, saw Qin Huan smiled happily, and walked over there, "Brother Zhong, brother, why are you here?"

"The last general, Qin Xun, sees His Royal Highness King Jin"

"My minister sees His Royal Highness King Jin"

Qin Xuan and Qin Zhong knelt down together, Qin Sheng was stunned for a moment, a little bit disappointed, "Excuse me"

"His Royal Highness Xie Jin"

Qin Sheng frowned, and didn't know what to say for a moment. Seeing his appearance, Qin Xun smiled and asked, "Have your lord's arrow skills improved?"

"Where is there any progress?" Qin Sheng looked at the bull's-eye over there.

"My lord has improved so fast, even His Majesty praises you." Qin Zhong looked at him and said to Qin Xuan, "My son doesn't know, but my lord gets up early every day to practice riding and shooting, and I haven't stopped for a day." Yue, who often reads by his side, so he is very familiar with Qin Sheng.

"The prince should also pay attention to rest," Qin Xuan instructed.

"I remember." Qin Sheng smiled, and the discomfort in his heart just now disappeared, and he asked, "When will big brother go to the northern border?"

"Three days later," Qin Xuan said gently.

Three days...Qin Sheng felt a little bit sad, looked at him and said, "I'll go see elder brother off"

"Thank you, my lord." Qin Huan cupped his hands.

Qin Zhong stood aside, seeing this, he also said, "My lord will also take me with me, so naturally I will practice it for my son."

"There is labor and tranquility"

"Brother, look..."

Qin Sheng pulled Qin Xun aside, not far away, Qin Yu and King Huai stood side by side, looking at the three juniors, "Qin Xun is very good," Qin Yu praised.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Duke Huai stood aside and smiled, "I understand what His Majesty is thinking."

"You really understand?" Qin Yu looked at him sideways.

Duke Huai sighed softly, turned his head to look at him and said, "I have never been indifferent all my life, and now that Xun'er has gone to the northern region, he has fulfilled my duty for me. I have never had extravagant hopes for my humble minister."

Feeling guilty, Qin Yu lowered his head slightly and said, "Fifth Brother, I'm actually afraid..."

"Weichen understands that you are afraid that Sheng'er will be in danger in the future, and you are also afraid that I will be involved in the whirlpool," Duke Huai said calmly.

Qin Liang has always been self-aware. He knows that he does not have the skills and prestige of His Majesty, let alone the cruelty and heartlessness of His Majesty. If he really pretends to be the emperor's father in the future and tries to seize power, he will definitely not be the opponent of Zhao Zhiping and Xue Fu. Not only herself, but also Sheng'er.

"Fifth Brother" Qin Yu smiled in relief, and said to him, "Cutting down the feudal clan and cutting down the family is the general trend, and the clan has also been suppressed to the extreme by me. Now the court is extremely afraid of the vassal king and the family. They are all loyal ministers who have been with me for many years. They are also strong ministers, I bow to them, and they will be loyal when Sheng'er ascends the throne, but if you intervene, you will cause trouble."

"Your Majesty has considered everything carefully, and King Jin will have no worries in the future"

"Heh... how can there be no worries in the world, there is no Qin family in the Yongshou Palace, let's start with Qin Xuan"

Three days later, the Beijiao Post Pavilion

"My lord, my father" Qin Yu lifted his robe and knelt down and kowtowed and said "Take care"

Qin Sheng raised his eyebrows and did not make a sound. King Huai stepped forward and pulled him up, "The northern army is a powerful force in the world. Although you are a clan and appointed by His Majesty, you must not be arrogant and disrespectful. You must convince the generals."

"Son remembers"

"The northern region is cold, and the snow falls earlier than the capital." Qin Zhong handed him a bundle and said, "This fox fur coat was entrusted to me by my mother to bring to my son."

"Thank you Jinghou, Madam I'm here!" Qin Yu took it with both hands.

Saluting solemnly to the three of them again, Qin Yu turned and mounted his horse. Just as he was about to raise his whip, Qin Sheng suddenly said, "Brother"

"My lord?"

"Take care of yourself"

"Keep in mind"

The whip fell, and after a puff of dust and smoke, Qin Xuan's figure became farther and farther away.Qin Sheng and Duke Huai watched his figure disappear before getting on the carriage and returning to the palace.

Royal Garden

"My minister will leave." Duke Huai and Qin Zhong saluted at the same time.

Qin Yu nodded, Qin Sheng stood beside him and saluted, and did not look away until Duke Huai left.

"Cheng'er" Qin Yu looked at him and asked, "Why are you unhappy?"

"Brother travels far away, I am worried about the hardships in the northern border, and my mother, concubine and father are also concerned," Qin Sheng replied.

Slightly frowning, Qin Yu beckoned him over, "I know that you care about Qin Xuan, and you also miss Brother Huai and Sister-in-law Wang, but there is one thing that you must remember for the rest of your life, otherwise you will harm many people."

"What?" Qin Sheng asked.

"You are my son, you can no longer be called Father Huai Wang." Qin Yu raised his face, looked at him very seriously and said, "You have to remember, Qin Xuan, Qin Zhong, and Huai Wang, they will all It's your courtiers, and they all bow down to you, but you can only kneel down."

"Father, but...but..."

There were tears in Qin Sheng's eyes, Qin Yu hugged him into his arms, patted his thin shoulder lightly and said, "I know, but there is only one chair in the Palace of Eternal Life, you can only be alone"

In October, after the beginning of winter, the capital became colder every day, and several stoves were burning in the East Hall. Qin Yu sat on a chair, and all the important officials in the East Hall were there. He glanced at it and waved for everyone to sit down.

"Thank you Your Majesty"

"Xuewen" Qin Yuchong nodded to Shen Xuewen and said, "Let's talk about the Qiang area."

Shen Xuewen stood in the hall, saluted and said, "Return to Your Majesty, I have been in the Qiang area for more than two months, and I have visited the people in the village. The Qiang people have many conflicts with the Han people, and they are even more resentful towards the imperial court. ·”

An Ziqi sat on the side, frowned upon hearing this, his expression darkened for a moment, and he caught a glimpse of a gaze, and instantly restrained himself.

"The Qiang and Han were already full of conflicts. During the Fude period, Liang Wang was disobedient and immoral, which caused the Qiang people to hate the court. Now that they are unified, the Qiang, Hu, and people in southern Xinjiang are all my people. I want them to go to Mutianen , sincerely convinced." Seeing the changes in An Ziqi, Qin Yu interrupted.

"Yes." Shen Xuewen also understands that it is meaningless to pursue more, and continues to say, "During my visit, I found that the Qiang people still cherish the family of Daxue Mountain back then. I thought this could ease the relationship between the court and the Qiang people."

"How?" Qin Yu asked.

"The Great Snow Mountain is of great significance to the Qiang people. If the imperial court makes an order, His Majesty will personally rehabilitate the Great Snow Mountain and find the only closed disciple of the Patriarch of the Great Snow Mountain back then. His honor is..."

Before Shen Xuewen finished speaking, everyone in the hall changed their expressions slightly. Du Xuetang glanced at His Majesty sitting on the throne, and found that his expression was slightly cold.

"no!"

"Your Majesty?" Shen Xuewen looked at him puzzled, not paying attention to the weirdness of the crowd.

"A rebellion is a rebellion. Back then I personally led the army to suppress it. Now that I have been rehabilitated, how will the people of the world treat me?" Qin Yu picked up the teacup at the side, looked at him and said lightly, "Shen Xuewen, do you want me to order you to punish yourself?"

"I don't dare, your majesty can blame the strict party for being blind..."

"Is there any other way?" Qin Yu interrupted again.

"In this way, only the imperial court is gentle with the Qiang people, and slowly draws them. However, there are many rangers in the Qiang land, and there are many sects in the Jianghu. Although the imperial court is bound by laws, there are still many people who draw swords when they are angry. With this ethos, the Qiang people Everyone hates evil like hatred, even if the court is gentle, it will take decades to see harmony between Qiang and Han."

"Wanderers in the rivers and lakes are no different from bandits and rioters." Qin Yu looked at the crowd and asked with a smile, "What do you think?"

Zhao Zhiping pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Xuewen remonstrates to rehabilitate the Daxueshan incident..."

"I told you, this is not okay!"

"Your Majesty" Du Xuetang stood up, looked at the two with a gentle smile and said, "Since the sects of the Jianghu do not respect the laws of the court, they will naturally be punished by the law. , are disorderly people, the imperial court can divide them and deal with them.”

Wang Meng, who had been silent for a while, stood up.

"The humble minister seconded the proposal," An Ziqi said.

Shen Xuewen didn't say much after looking at it, and bowed to salute "a humble minister leads the decree"

"I am determined to open the border cities of Fengjiang, Qinzhou, and Jiangyuan counties. All Qiang merchants who enter the Central Plains will be exempted from tax. The Qiang land is suffering, and the imperial court cannot bear to impose heavy taxes. I will exempt the Qiang people from paying taxes for ten years and rest and recuperate."

"Your Majesty's Holy Spirit" and everyone took orders

"Your Majesty" Shen Xuewen said again, "This matter requires a careful, long-sleeved and good dancer"

"Who do you want to talk about?" Qin Yu already guessed what he said in his heart, so he still asked.

Shen Xuewen threw up his robe and knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Wang Zhongkang, the son of Wang Ru, I beg your Majesty's permission." Wang Zhongkang was convicted like him, and he is still in prison. let him go.

"But, he is treasonous, I have already been spared the death penalty, how can I release him as an official?"

"Your Majesty" An Ziqi suddenly said, "There are a lot of injustices in various parts of the world this year, and there are several visions from heaven. I think that I should amnesty the world, appease the hearts of the people, and demonstrate benevolence."

Qin Yu stood up and said, "What Ziqi said is true. At the end of this year, I have decided to amnesty the world and demonstrate benevolence."

"Ministers and others lead the decree"

Walking down the imperial steps, Qin Yu walked up to Shen Xuewen, leaned over to help him up slightly, and said to him, "You see, some things will not work straight, such as you, because you contributed to the strategy of appease the Qiang people, I just let you go"

Shen Xuewen was taken aback for a moment, then saluted solemnly, and Qin Yu left the East Hall with a smile.

"Master Zhao" Li Han quietly entered the door and said to Zhao Zhiping, "Your Majesty wants to see you"

"Yes"

The Zhaohe Hall is wider and cooler than the East Hall. Qin Yu just entered the door, still wearing a cloak, standing in front of the window.

"Your Majesty" Zhao Zhi saluted in parallel.

"Why do you agree with Shen Xuewen?" Qin Yu asked with his back turned to him.

"This strategy can shorten the time for the Qiang people to return to their hearts, and it will be good for the court and the King of Jin in the future," Zhao Zhiping replied calmly.

"Is my national policy not good?"

"Compared with the two, the former is better"

"Mr. Zhao is still Mr. Zhao." Qin Yu smiled, and said with his hands behind his back, "Bai Yunfei is not a suitable candidate, he can't do what Shen Xuewen said, he is not suitable for the court"

"I got it," Zhao Zhiping replied, wanting to step down.

"Zhao Zhiping..." Qin Yu looked at him seriously, and said after a moment of pondering, "I want you to swear your loyalty to me, not to use Bai Yunfei, not to harm him, and to protect him for the rest of your life."

Zhao Zhiping was silent for a while, and knelt down towards him, "I, Zhao Zhiping, swear, I will protect Bai Yunfei for the rest of my life, and never let him be used or harmed by others."

"Thank you, sir." Qin Yu saluted solemnly, "I'm ashamed of you, sir."

"Your Majesty" Zhao Zhiping helped him up, and said seriously, "This oath is not a minister to the king, but my oath to my best friend and teacher, Zhao Zhiping, and I will never break it in my life."

"gentlemen··"

"Wei Chen Retires"

Zhao Zhiping bowed and saluted again, and left peacefully. Qin Yu watched him leave with a smile of relief.

Regardless of life or death, keep you safe, this sentence, I did it!

Outside the Hall of Zhaohe, fine snow fell gently and stuck to Du Xuetang's shoulders. He looked at Zhao Zhiping who was walking out slowly, and greeted him.

"Xue Xiang" Zhao Zhiping stopped.

"Zhao Shangshu, what did His Majesty tell you?"

"Xue Xiang, it is inconvenient for me to tell you." Zhao Zhiping cupped his hands and said "Farewell"

Du Xuetang's expression changed, he looked at the Hall of Showa in front of him, frowned, and walked over.

"Your Majesty, Xue Xiang asks to see you"

"Huh?" Qin Yu was taken aback for a moment, and just as he was about to tell him to come in, he saw the door curtain lifted, and Du Xuetang had already entered.

"Uh... Aiqing, what's the matter, so urgent?" Qin Yu didn't get angry, and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty didn't go to the Qiang area to tour the west." Du Xuetang looked at him firmly.If it was a tour to the west, how could they have waited until today to reject Shen Xuewen's proposal in the palace? Everyone knows how His Majesty defends Bai Yunfei.

Qin Yu twitched his eyebrows lightly, and said with a smile, "Is this why Ai Qing 'breaks into the palace'?"

"Your Majesty" Du Xuetang took a step forward, his eyes fluttering, "You are suffering from a serious illness, so avoid it and recuperate."

"That's right." Qin Yu nodded and admitted.

Du Xuetang hastily stepped forward, a little flustered between his steps, "Your Majesty..."

"Aiqing" Qin Yu supported him, looked into his eyes and said, "You misunderstood, I was seriously ill for a month, but it's fine, and I'm fine now."

"Then why do you deceive others?" Du Xuetang asked while pinching his arm.

"Aiqing, how can I not cover up my serious illness? In the past six months, there have been many rumors and rumors. In addition, I brought Sheng'er to the palace. I am afraid that outsiders will speculate that there is really something wrong with me. It's a mess again"

"Really?"

"Why, do you want me to compete with you in order to believe that I'm safe?" Qin Yu teased.

Du Xuetang looked at the sincerity in his eyes, just like those years in his memory, "offended by the humble official", he suddenly smiled, and stepped back to salute.

"No problem" Qin Yu sat down on the short couch

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Du Xuetang was about to retreat, but suddenly swept to the chessboard on the table, and looked at him hesitantly, "Your Majesty may give me some advice"

Touching the jade chess piece, Qin Yu thought of an unrealistic dream, "Sit down," he pointed to the other side and said.

It was cold in the hall, and the palace servants quietly brought in several stoves, Qin Yu didn't notice anything, Du Xuetang looked at the chessboard, but his forehead was slightly sweaty.

"Why are you moving so many stoves?" Qin Yu rebuked casually.

"Yes..." Xiao Fuzi hurriedly asked people to move out a few more.

Du Xuetang didn't make a sound, looking at the chess game, his slender eyebrows were frowned, holding a black chess piece in his hand, he was a little undecided.

"Weichen lost" After a while, Du Xuetang finally gave up and raised his head.

"Ah..." Qin Yu withdrew his gaze, looked at the chess game and said, "Ai Qing was negligent."

"I've never won." Du Xuetang said in a low voice with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

You forgot, you won once!Qin Yu covered his eyes, picked up the chess pieces, and pretended not to hear what he said.

"Your Majesty" Du Xuetang suddenly pressed his arm and looked at him.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yu asked gently.

"What about the next round?"

Looking out of the window, Qin Yu nodded hesitantly and said "OK"

The snow outside the hall became heavier, and a layer was deposited on the ground. It was dark and early in winter, and it seemed that the lights were turned on outside the Hall of Zhaohe in an instant.

Qin Yu is obsessed with the chess pieces, Xiangye's chess skills are the same as his own, and he has grown very quickly. Maybe it is his own selfishness, deliberately procrastinating, so this game can't be finished for a long time.

After all, it was about to end, Qin Yu was just about to settle down, when he raised his eyebrows and saw Du Xuetang was leaning there and fell asleep.

Mother-in-law, you lose your temper!Qin Yu scolded himself, and leaned forward, trying to wake him up.A faint scent of orchids wafted over, and Qin Yu twitched his brows before stopping his movements.

After dark, the chill in the hall was even stronger, Qin Yu picked up the thin blanket, stood in front of him, and gently covered Du Xuetang who was sleeping peacefully.The palace lantern illuminated the entire hall, and when it landed on Du Xuetang's body, it suddenly softened a lot, and he lost his calmness and calmness in front of the hall, making people want to guard him by his side.

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Fuzi stopped talking and looked at His Majesty who stood in front of him and stared silently. He saw that it was getting late and the night was cold, so he came in specially to light the fire.

Raising his hand to stop Xiao Fuzi from coming forward, Qin Yu stood there for a while, and then quietly left with Xiao Fuzi.

"Your Majesty" outside the hall, Xiao Fuzi hesitated to remind, "The gate of the palace is about to be locked."

"En." Qin Yu nodded without answering. He put on his cloak and walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Xiao Fuzi followed behind him. He didn't walk very far when he heard him order again, "It's getting late, go and wake up the prime minister."

"Yes" Xiao Fuzi glanced at His Majesty's expression, and quietly retreated.
