Just because Chu Yuan said "Let him go", Duan Baiyue's trip can be said to be unobstructed. Kunyu, Cuiran, Zhennan, Jiuxiang... Every time a town in Dachu is approached, local officials are worried and can't sleep at night, for fear This grandfather will cause trouble on a whim, and the common people have a heart hanging in their throats. Peaceful days are going well, but don't go to war.
But the reality is quite comforting.
Wherever the Southwest Army went, military discipline was strict and orderly. You will pay for meals and lodging, and sometimes you will be rewarded. Even when passing through the Green Ferry, seeing the local flood disaster, he also volunteered to help the people build houses for three days and left a truckload of food.
When the news came back to Wangcheng, the old officials in the court lamented and beat their chests and feet. The King of Southwest is obviously bribing the hearts of the people, his heart can be punished, his heart can be punished!
Chu Yuan sat in the pavilion in the imperial garden, with a fragrant stove and a cup of tea in front of him, listening to the piano girl playing the piano in the distance.
Ye Jin sat opposite him: "Why are you so leisurely today, I heard that you didn't go to the morning, so you thought you were sick."
"The old officials in the court are all waiting." Chu Yuan opened his eyes, "It's nothing more than playing Duan Baiyue again. It's annoying to hear it, so it's better to be lazy."
"I don't blame those old men this time." Ye Jin poured a cup of tea for himself, "I'm also wondering why you are so reassured about Southwest?" Although he has asked many times, he has been fooled by him every time. , there is no reassurance pill to eat.
"I have a covenant with Duan Baiyue." Chu Yuan replied.
"What covenant?" Ye Jin asked again.
Chu Yuan said: "It doesn't matter what the covenant is. The important thing is that even if we open the border defense line at this time, he will not take advantage of it to enter, so there is no need to worry."
"Really so relieved?" Ye Jin was suspicious.
Chu Yuan changed the topic: "Stay to have dinner with me at night?"
Ye Jin shook his head: "Qianfeng has an appointment, and I'm going at night too."
Chu Yuan looked at him and smiled.
"What are you doing?" Master Ye Gu was angry, "I'm here to eat!" I didn't want to accompany that person, after all, I didn't know him well.
Even if they become relatives, they are not familiar with each other.
After finally sending Ye Jin away, Sixi came to pass the news again, saying that it was Lord Wen who asked to see him.
Chu Yuan had a faint headache, not to mention it was for Duan Baiyue.
"Wei Chen sees the emperor." Wen Liunian saluted.
"Aiqing, please excuse the ceremony." Chu Yuan said, "You don't look very good, are you sick?"
"Back to the emperor, caught the cold." Wen Liunian coughed.
"Since you are sick, you should take care of it in the house." Chu Yuan motioned for him to sit down, "Why did you come here in such a hurry?"
"Actually, it's not in a hurry." Wen Liunian said honestly, "It's just that Wei Chen has been thinking about the King of Southwest for the past few days."
Chu Yuan: "..."
"Weichen will naturally not doubt someone the emperor trusts." Wen Liunian was extremely sincere, "It's just that since the emperor sent Weichen to the East China Sea, he would have to meet the southwest king sooner or later, so Weichen begged the emperor to reveal at least one or two things. This time the Great Chu has formed an alliance with the Southwest, what is the bottom line given by the emperor, and Wei Chen also has a spectrum."
Chu Yuan: "..."
Wen Liunian's eyes were full of loyalty.
Chu Yuan looked at him.
…
Chu Heng's mansion was located in Dakun City in the East China Sea, which was just over ten days' journey from Muyang City. This time, Duan Baiyue led the army into Da Chu with such a big fanfare. As a prince, Chu Heng naturally had to write a memorial to inform Chu Yuan of the matter. And Chu Yuan also pushed the boat along the way, appointed Wen Liunian as the imperial commissioner, and went to the East China Sea to "peace talks" with Duan Baiyue.
Wen Liunian said, "Cough."
Chu Yuan shook his head: "Aiqing has been thinking too much, the King of Southwest will only stay in Muyang City this time, and will not have any extra requirements. On the contrary, after Aiqing arrives in Dakun City, if there is something to help you, even if you secretly need help. Just go find him."
Wen Liunian's eyes became more and more suspicious.
"If you have nothing else to do, then step back." Chu Yuan said, "I want to be alone for a while."
Wen Liunian had to get up and retire, but he was still full of doubts.
On the official road outside the palace, someone was waiting for him. His aura was a little cold, and his eyebrows and eyes were extremely sharp. It was the son of Zhao Yue and Zhao who everyone in the northwest wanted to grab for portraits.
very handsome.
Wen Liunian trotted to meet him.
"Why is it so early today?" Zhao Yue smiled, "I should have dinner before the emperor will let me go."
"The emperor has something on his mind today." Wen Liunian said.
"The emperor is also a human being, and people naturally have their minds on their minds. Why do you look puzzled?" Zhao Yue took him on his back, "Want to go home or go to a restaurant?"
"Go for a walk outside the city, be quiet." Wen Liunian said, "I'll think about things."
Zhao Yue nodded and turned his horse's head onto the path.
When the people along the way saw it, they stood on tiptoe enthusiastically and handed over the wild fruits they had just picked in their hands—Master Wen likes to eat them, and the whole Wangcheng knows it. And this is the number one talent in Great Chu. If he can take the opportunity to touch his hands, maybe he can learn to recite poetry.
But even the number one talent in Great Chu sometimes has a knot in his head. Wen Liunian also knew for the first time that the emperor and the southwest king could trust each other so much. Everyone in the DPRK is discussing, saying that the emperor has opened the border of Great Chu. On the other hand, the King of Southwest China also completely abandoned Dali. If the emperor sent General Shen to the south, the sixteen prefectures in the southwest would be recovered within a few months, and the seventy-two villages of Miaojiang would also be brought along.
Taking a step back, even if the court did not do anything, the King of Southwest would have to stay in Muyang City for at least a year. He would not be able to return to Dali until the army of Da Chu reorganized the treasury and had enough confidence to deal with Chu Heng.
After sitting in the mountains for a full two hours, until the sunset and the moon rose, Wen Liunian was still at a loss. He has been talented and intelligent since he was a child, and he has never seen the truth that he cannot see clearly, or the inside story that he cannot understand. This is the first time.
After being reprimanded a few times by Chu Yuan, the court officials finally stopped a little, at least they would no longer kowtow to the ground, and said with tears in their eyes, "The king of the Southwest has the ambition of a wolf, and the emperor must not take it lightly." class sentences.
Sixi breathed a sigh of relief in secret, this matter can be regarded as the past, since the news came to Wangcheng, the adults came one after another, and the emperor's brows did not stretch for a moment.
This afternoon, in the business of Wangcheng Sun Moon Villa, an old housekeeper was enjoying the sun in the yard. He heard the sound of the wooden door, opened his eyes, and quickly stood up: "Master Ye Gu is back."
Ye Jin looked in a trance: "Well."
"Gu master?" The old housekeeper was puzzled, "What happened?"
"It's okay." Ye Jin said, "I'm a little dizzy."
The old housekeeper thought it was him suffering from heat stroke, so he hurriedly ordered to go down and let the kitchen cook some sour plum soup and bring it.
Ye Jin was powerless to wave his hand and didn't want to talk more. He sat alone on the steps of the backyard, looking at the big water tank in the yard and thinking about things.
He entered the palace just now, and happened to see someone unloading goods in front of the Taiyuan Hospital. The three carriages were piled with medicinal materials and jewelry, and there were seven or eight skeleton heads, all skinned and clean, so he was shocked. .
Upon seeing this, the steward of the Tai Hospital hurriedly explained that it was sent by the King of Southwest China, the medicinal materials would be returned to Tai Hospital, and the jewelry would be sent to the national treasury later. , burning, killing, looting and disturbing the people, so they were all skinned by the King of Southwest China and sent to the emperor to relieve his boredom. It has been half a year.
Can this thing relieve the boredom? Ye Jin twitched the corners of his mouth, and when he went to the imperial study, he mentioned something by the way, but he didn't expect Chu Yuan's reaction...
Ye Jin stayed in the imperial study for a while, and finally, with hindsight, put everything together and thought about it again.
Some decisions, from the standpoint of the emperor, are indeed too hasty, but from the standpoint of a lover, they can make sense without any reason. For example, the open borders of the country, such as a covenant that does not require any written signing, such as the silence and faint smiles that often appear when Duan Baiyue is mentioned, such as looking for Tianchensha everywhere, such as "let him", and then For example, "The rainy season is approaching in the southwest, but if there is any medicine to ward off the cold and replenish the body, find some and send it to me."
People are in Wangcheng, what are they thinking about in the southwest rainy season!
Ye Jin was dizzy, and felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Thinking about it carefully, through the ages, people with the surname Duan are all vixen who have brought disaster to the country and the people!
Lord Yegu clenched his fists.
For example, Duan Daji, Duan Baosi, and Duan Baiyue.
Both have the same surname.
Better castrate!
Ye Jin stood up, swiped, and took out a small white bottle from his arms.
As the Prince of Great Chu, he should serve the country.
Inside things, inside things.
So Chu Yuan, who finally rested, was shaken up by his younger brother again, and he said "I'm going to the East China Sea" all night.
"What are you doing in the East China Sea?" Chu Yuan was exhausted.
"You take care of me." Ye Jin sat cross-legged on the bed and raised his head.
Chu Yuan: "..."
The whole country of Chu knew that there were few people who could persuade the little prince to persuade him to do what the young prince decided to do.
So a few days later, Ye Jin set off with Wen Liunian, left the Wangcheng, and went to the East China Sea Dakun City.
Duan Baiyue swayed slightly.
"My lord." Duan Nian said, "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Duan Baiyue waved his hand, "I just shook my head."
Duan Nian was still worried. After all, the poison of the Bodhi Heart Sutra had just been cured, so he should have a good rest.
Duan Baiyue asked while walking: "How is the army settled?"
"Back to the lord, we have already set up camp in the suburbs." Duan Nian said, "The magistrate of Muyang City delivered a letter yesterday and wants to see the lord."
Duan Baiyue said: "Tomorrow."
Duan Nian nodded: "Yes."
The streets of Muyang City are very lively. Although it is not as prosperous as Wangcheng, it does not have the charm of a seaside town. A monk was standing on the street, and there were a lot of people crowded around, making noise and not knowing what to do.
"It's a monk from Jinguang Temple. You Fang came here. It is said to be very effective." Seeing Duan Baiyue watching, Duan Nian explained, "So the people came to ask him to see the picture."
Duan Baiyue nodded and wanted to go around the crowd, but was stopped by the big monk: "Donor stay."
Although the people have never seen Duan Baiyue, they all know that the King of Southwest has come to Muyang City. At this time, seeing that he is handsome, tall and extraordinary, and his clothes are extremely luxurious, they can naturally guess his identity, so they all kept silent, and the surroundings immediately became quiet. down.
Duan Baiyue smiled slightly: "Is there something wrong with the master?"
"This donor has a really good face." The great monk sighed, "Rich and noble life."
Duan Baiyue said: "Thank you, Master."
"There is only one person. In the future, the donor must be careful." The great monk said again.
Duan Baiyue asked, "Who?"
The big monk pulled from the side of the road and handed it over.
Duan Baiyue received it.
People were curious and stood on tiptoe.
It is a flexible, round, green, small leaf.
