The two were startled when they heard the words, and looked at Su Che.
Su Che said with a smile, "Looking at your expressions, do you disagree with my resignation? Or do you have any suggestions?"
Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang glanced at each other, and I have to say that the two really didn't expect Su Che to have the idea of resigning from the court so soon, but after thinking about what he said, after Nan Qi and Bei Zhou negotiated peace, Nan Qi There is no need for a general anymore. After returning to Beijing, it is wise for him to ask the emperor to withdraw from the court.
It has to be said that the Su family is too glorious now.
Su Che's accumulated military achievements are too high. The three brothers of the Su family and one of her daughter's family are all valued by the emperor. When the emperor has no seal, he will think of other ideas and ideas. It is just a trivial matter for Su Qing to marry Princess Shuya One thing, maybe I'll think of something else.
Ever since the head of the state retired, there has been no tug-of-war between the head of the state's mansion and the royal family. When Xu Yun entered the court at the beginning, the emperor clearly valued trust very much.
She didn't want the Su family to become the second mansion of the head of the state and be criticized by others.
Ye Chang said softly, "Uncle's resignation is a good thing for the Su family, but you have the intention of resigning, but it depends on the emperor's permission. I'm afraid it's not easy for you to resign now. "
Su Fengnuan nodded, "The war with the Northern Zhou Dynasty has just ended, and everything is still not stable, especially in the Southern Qi Dynasty, there are still huge internal worries. Although there is no need for a general in the war, it is still necessary to stabilize the morale of the army. The emperor may not agree. "
Su Che said, "I will submit a memorial to resign together with this letter of agreement. The military affairs will be handed over to your two elder brothers. Although they are still young, they are already able to take care of themselves." After finishing speaking, he said, "The older generation How can the new generation grow up if those who don’t retreat? What Southern Qi needs is not a famous general, but countless talented people. If you want to make the country rich and strong, you must first cultivate talents. There is Lushan Academy in Southern Qi, but it also emphasizes literature over literature Wu, there is a school in the Jin Palace in Kyoto, but it is also dedicated to cultivating literary talents, I want to open a military academy, which specializes in cultivating martial arts and the art of war."
Ye Chang's eyes lit up, and he praised, "Uncle, that's a good idea!"
Su Fengnuan also nodded with a smile, "Father's idea is indeed good. I really lack such a place to learn martial arts and marching in Southern Qi. If my father tells the emperor in detail, the emperor may agree."
Su Che nodded, patted Su Fengnuan on the shoulder, and said, "After all, you are also a daughter's family. Although as a father, you don't have the same knowledge as those old antiques and think that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, but I also think that a daughter's family should not be too ostentatious." It's better to show your sharpness. In the battle of Yanbei, you were forced to come to the west to help me, and you made great contributions. But in the future, you should keep it. The princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty has been immersed in power all her life, and she may not be the real one. Happiness. As a father, I hope you will live happily and don’t want to carry the burden of a lifetime.”
Su Fengnuan nodded and said with a smile, "Daughter knows, you love me. I understand. After you retire, I have nothing to do. I will go to your military academy to be a female teacher."
Su Che laughed.
Ye Chang reached out and tapped Su Fengnuan on the head, and said disapprovingly, "Just teach me, don't have the idea to teach others again, if uncle builds a military academy, it will be for the future training of military talents in Southern Qi , If you go, you will teach others wrongly. It's better not to go."
Su Fengnuan choked, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch his face, "Ye Shizi, let me see, where did I teach you to be crooked? Where is it crooked?"
Ye Chang took her hand away, held it in his hand, and said with a smile, "Your temper is crooked."
Su Fengnuan was speechless, what she said was correct, but she can't be blamed entirely, right
Su Che watched the two of them quarreling, thinking that they are still young and energetic after all, he waved his hands and said with a smile, "It's such a cold day, you have been frozen in the Snow Pavilion for most of the day, go to the city and go back home to rest .”
Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan nodded and entered the city laughing.
After entering the General's Mansion where they stayed, and returning to the courtyard where they stayed, Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang took off their cloaks, surrounded the stove to make a fire, and while making tea, chatted about some internal affairs of the Southern Qi Dynasty after the peace talks between the Southern Qi and Northern Zhou ended. I'm afraid it will be put on the agenda.
The first thing to get rid of is the king of Xiangjun.
Mentioning the king of Xiangjun, he naturally thought of Su Qing who was going to the east. I don't know what happened to him. Since the west has been fighting, he has captured several cities in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In addition to communicating with the imperial documents and military reports, he entered the territory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty After that, he also cut off the correspondence with him.
After all, one east and one west are too far apart.
In addition, they don't know what the situation in Jiangnan is now.
The two discussed that after Bei Zhou sent 1.9 million taels of gold and Chu Han, she and Ye Chang would settle the peace negotiations in the western region. After going to Wangdi Mountain, they would return to Beijing first and discuss with the emperor how to deal with Xiang County. The matter of the king.
After the two discussed all the matters until they had a plan in mind, they waited for the gold and people to arrive after ten days in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. They don't care how the Northern Zhou Princess and the Prime Minister find the surviving Chu Han, and they don't care how they persuade Chu Han to come to Southern Qi to be a proton, and they don't care how they prepare 1.9 million taels of gold in a short period of time. Bei Zhou tore up the signed agreement, but they didn't have the strength to do so.
In the evening of that day, Ye Chang ordered Qian Han to personally take the signed peace letter and a letter to Xu Yunchu, and ride a fast horse to the capital, without going to the imperial court's urgent post station 800 miles away.
Three days later, Qian Han entered the capital, met the emperor, and personally presented to the emperor the peace negotiation agreement signed by Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan with Princess Chang of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the prime minister.
After the emperor read the agreement, he laughed heartily, "Okay, well done, this time it's a real promotion of our Southern Qi national prestige." After laughing, he looked at Qian Han and asked, "How about your family's heir and Su girl?" When did you say you will return to Beijing?"
Qian Han lowered his head and said respectfully, "Go back to the emperor, my family's eldest son and Miss Su will wait for the compensation and proton from the Northern Zhou Dynasty in ten days, and Miss Su will take my family's eldest son to Wangdi Mountain."
The emperor said, "Oh?"
Qianhan nodded, "Miss Su said that the western region is located near Wangdi Mountain, and it would take only two days to travel from Yucheng to Wangdi Mountain. Although the snow scenery of Wangdi Mountain is not as good as Yanyun Peak in Yanbei, it is rare in the world. My son is going to enjoy the snow scenery."
The emperor shook his mustache and said, "They have leisure time, so how long will they stay in Wangdi Mountain? When will they return to Beijing?"
Qian Han shook his head, "Miss Su didn't say anything, she should go and have a look, and return to Beijing after staying for two days."
The emperor nodded, "Forget it, let them go. From Yanbei to the west, they have not rested. It's good to go to Wangdi Mountain to relax." After finishing speaking, he asked, "They asked Chu Han to be the hostage. Could it be that they still have to take Chu Han with them when they go to Wangdi Mountain? I heard that Prince Bei Zhou Zhou is extremely cunning, and he sent someone else to send him back to Beijing. If he uses some tricks on the way, what should we do?"
Qian Han said, "My son asked my subordinates to bring a word to the emperor, please ask the emperor to order uncle Xiaoguo to send someone to the western region to pick him up. As long as the prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty arrives in our capital city of Southern Qi, the emperor has the final say. .”
The emperor nodded, "Okay, I will call Xu Yunchu into the palace later and arrange this matter for him." After finishing speaking, he said, "I expected the war to last for half a year, but Uncle Xiaoguo put all his heart into supervising the grain and grass, but I didn't expect it to be less than two years later." In a few months, the war is over. This is the most enjoyable battle ever."
Qian Han also felt that this battle was fought happily, but it was not without hard work. The eldest son and Miss Su have not had a rest since they arrived in the western region, and they have only calmed down in the past few days.
The emperor wrote a reply letter to Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang, handed it to Qianhan, and allowed him to leave the palace.
After Qian Han left the palace, he went straight to the Guozhang Mansion.
Seeing Qian Han, the steward of the Guozhang's Mansion hurriedly went to the study to report to Xu Yunchu. Xu Yunchu naturally knew that Qianhan returned to Beijing to send the peace agreement with Bei Zhou. Now that he heard that he came to the Guozhang's Mansion after leaving the palace, he immediately ordered the housekeeper to take him away. Please go to the study.
When Qianhan saw Xu Yunchu, he handed Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang's letter to him.
After Xu Yunchu finished reading the letter, he thought about it, and took a pen to write back to Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang.
After Xu Yunchu finished writing the letter, he didn't let Qianhan leave immediately, but ordered someone to make tea and asked him to talk about the war in the western region.
Qian Han didn't hide anything, so he told how Chu Han poisoned the people of Lancheng with vicious tricks. It happened that Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang arrived, and now they used tricks to break Liuyang City and seize food, grass and military salaries. City, and how to negotiate with the North Zhou princess and the prime minister in detail.
After hearing this, Xu Yunchu said with a smile, "Ye Shizi and Miss Su are a perfect match."
Qian Han nodded, looking at Xu Yunchu, thinking that it was a misfortune for his son to be orphaned at a young age, but God made up for this luck with Miss Su.
Xu Yunchu said goodbye to Qianhan again, and Qianhan bid farewell and left the Guozhang's mansion.
After leaving Guozhang's mansion, Qian Han went to Su's mansion, and after leaving Su's mansion, he went to Wang's mansion, and then returned to Rong'an Wang's mansion.
The Ye family was in chaos. As the head of the Ye family, Mr. Ye ignored Jiangnan's affairs and stayed in the capital safely. He was considered to have stepped down from his position as the head of the Ye family in Jiangnan, and handed over everything in Jiangnan to Ye Xi.
Patriarch Ye was startled when he heard that Su Fengnuan was going to take Ye Chang to Wangdi Mountain to enjoy the snow scenery. go in?"
Qian Han said, "Miss Su said so, she should be able to enter."
Patriarch Ye thought for a moment, then nodded, "In that case, let's go, Wangdi Mountain is a sacred place, and it will benefit a lot from a visit."
After talking with Patriarch Ye, Qian Han didn't rest, left the capital without stopping, and returned to the west.
