Chang Geng had a very smooth life during this period. First, the beautiful land settled the matter in Jiangbei, all the set goals were achieved, and it ended without a hurry. On the way back, he was accompanied by Gu Yun—except for the days when he was in Yanhui when he was a child. , Daliang has always been in turmoil, and Gu Yun rarely has the opportunity to be by his side for so long. Walking all the way, people have the illusion that the world is going to be old, and he can't feel the loneliness of autumn and early winter. severe cold.
Chang Geng used to be extremely uneasy, he was cautious about everything around him, and even the slightest clue could startle him. At that time, although he was tensed all day long, he was really exhausted and seldom made mistakes. Gu Yun said a word, and he was startled to realize that he was a little carried away.
Chang Geng stabilized his heart, silently recalled the scene when Li Feng summoned him to the palace, and felt a different meaning—the honor of the Nine Five is now suffocated in a place full of the smell of medicine, the thick palace and the silent The palace servants seemed so sullen, and the house was filled with a bitter taste of dying, and Li Feng was in his prime, and he was not really old and saw the world, so what would he feel in his heart
Some people will take the initiative to back down when they realize they are powerless, but Li Feng will never be that kind of person. If he backed down so easily, he would not have been furious during the mutiny at the Beida Camp. When the crowd comes out, they will not be on the red-headed kite when the soldiers are under the city.
Gu Yun was indeed reminding him, Chang Geng was jolted, a little cold sweat oozes out on the back of his neck, and his face calmed down with excitement.
Gu Yun knew that he had listened. This man was too smart. Sometimes a sentence was enough. Without saying more, he reached out and touched Chang Geng's head.
Chang Geng grabbed his hand, pulled it down and dragged him. Gu Yun waited for a while to listen to his self-reflection, thinking that at least he would have to say something like "what would I do without you?" Unexpectedly, Chang Geng held him for a while. , not only did not reflect, but also made trouble unreasonably: "It's all your fault, it made me dizzy."
Gu Yun: ""
Less than half a day after arriving in the capital, he has already played the roles of "Sexy Ghost" and "Dangerous Water" in two roles, which is really very busy.
How shy and reserved His Royal Highness King Yan was when he was young, how can he lose his sense of shame when he is older
Gu Yun threw off Chang Geng, who was becoming more and more invisible to him, and picked up the jug hanging on the side. Chang Geng jumped up in a disciplined manner and reached out to grab it: "In such a cold day, you are not allowed to drink cold wine!"
As soon as Gu Yun raised his hand, he threw the jug from his left hand to his right hand, and caught it lightly. His free left hand just caught Chang Geng, who had slammed into his arms. He quickly squeezed his chin and kissed him, waiting for Chang Geng to react. When he came over to fight back, he turned around and put on his coat and said with a smile: "I'm going to the Beida Camp, you can sleep by yourself at night, read the scriptures twice before going to bed, so as not to lose your head again."
Chang Geng: ""
What was promised on the road!
The dignified and stable Hou, actually broke his promise and became fat!
Although Gu Yun was teasing him, he really had something to do. He should stay at the Beida Camp, because he was really worried about Chang Geng, so he went back to Hou's mansion and waited for him to come back for a meal. Then he left home and hurried to the Peking University Camp. The Peking University Camp not only commanded the outer defense of the capital, but also served as a relay for the introduction of emergency military information from various places to the capital. .
It is already late autumn in the capital, and as soon as I go out, the uncontrollable smell of midwinter has emerged, and it is gloomy. The little cold wind in the night took shape, and when Gu Yun went out, he was still in the habit of wearing only a single shirt.
It's just that this day, Gu Yunlai had already mounted the horse and had not yet left the house. Suddenly, he felt that the wind in the pass was a bit biting. He sighed to himself, and turned back in the end. He hung the cold wine jug in the stable and told Huo Dan to give it to him. He took a cloak and put it on, then hurried away.
During this period of time, although Gu Yun was tossed away by the rebellion of Jiangbei mob and the rebels in the capital forced the palace, but his connection with Cai Ying in the northern border has not been interrupted. He didn't need to think about it to know what was going on in the northern border area.
The blood feud between the barbarians and the Central Plains may really have to wait for a long hundred years to pass, and these two or three generations will all die before they can be relieved.
Gu Yun had just arrived at the Beida Camp, and he didn't even have time to drink when he sat down, when Cai Ying's letter just came.
The letter is very simple, but there is a lot of information in a few words - the two armies have been fighting for so long, and they have each other's scouts and spies. The people who were lurking in the enemy's line reported that in the spring, Calais Yinghuo seemed to be seriously ill. One time, he hasn't been seen before since then.
What's even more strange is that his eldest son disappeared all day in the name of filial piety, and the second son of Calais temporarily replaced his affairs.
Calais has three sons under his knees, all born to a woman. Following the Han system, the eldest son is the heir. It is not unusual for the father to be seriously ill and the sons to compete to show filial piety. Does it fit
According to this description, the story of what happened on the barbarian side seems to be ready to come out. The second son, who has both talents, is not reconciled because he relies on his brother's breath to live a few years later.
-
The current commander of the Beida Camp said: "Commander, in addition to the thirteen items, the Eighteenth Tribe also agreed to send Calais' youngest son as a hostage to give us peace of mind for the next peace talks. , Xiaomanzi's frame is about to enter the customs, and he handed a letter to Jingcheng, waiting for the court's approval, the last general is planning to send someone to the Hou residence, just in time for you to come."
With that said, he handed Gu Yun another envelope.
The matter of the northern barbarians involves frontier military affairs. Before delivering the military aircraft, you can let the commander who holds the black iron tiger talisman see it. I saw that the book handed over by the barbarians was indeed very sincere. who.
The third prince is only fifteen years old. It is said that he is a frail and sickly half-old child. He is accompanied by a messenger and translator, ten boys and girls, ten slaves, and twelve guards. Everyone's surname and name are clearly written. Chu, even the age of the slaves and their duties as supervisors were clear, and they strictly followed the customs clearance procedures of Daliang. Gu Yun read it three times from beginning to end, but did not see any violations.
Shen Yi folded his arms and said, "It seems to be true. The ambitious second prince has imprisoned his father and brother, and has to kill his younger brother as a hostage, so he can dominate the Eighteen Tribes."
"What's the benefit of monopolizing the Eighteen Tribes?" Gu Yun threw the book aside. He sat by the camp stove for a long time, but he didn't get warm. At this time, he still brought his hands close to the heat source, consciously or unintentionally, and rubbed gently. "If this time is defeated, the barbarians will not be able to fight back in the future. They don't eat or drink outside the gate every year, and they all have to pay tribute to dig a little purple gold. Even the daughter and the daughter of the wolf king can't keep it."
The feud between the barbarians and the Han people in the Central Plains is not a day or two. As early as a few dynasties, the nomads in the north have the custom of going south to fight the autumn wind when the season is not good. The north has the fierceness of the whole nation, and the south has the backbone of famous generals. The two sides have been stalemate between looting and fighting back. For a hundred years, no one has really conquered the other—until Daliang took the lead in developing steam technology.
Today, people can only get a glimpse of the situation in those years from the historical data. It was the golden age of the long-armed division. The fertile Central Plains was like a awakened giant beast. When they came out, light furs, heavy armor, giant kites, and flying eagles were flooded with steam, iron puppets ran rampant in the capital, and the range of the long and short cannons changed almost with each passing day.
At the beginning, Da Liang, who opened shipping and worked together to develop lighter steel armor, was despised by uncivilized barbarians as "Southerners who focus on luxury and sideways." The wolf king in the north trusted his minions too much, arrogantly missed the opportunity, and failed to sit on the thick cloud of Zi Liujin rising to the sky, and even after being cleaned up by the people of the Central Plains for decades, he was unable to turn over, and Zi Liujin in the territory. Forced to offer sacrifices, he has not been able to have his own steel armor technology even after trying to catch up. So far, his equipment has also been supported by Westerners.
It is impossible for the Eighteen Tribes to ignore this kind of bloody lessons from the past, and it is impossible for the Eighteen Tribes to ignore the fact that the Daliang factories are now all over the place, and the palm order law is lifted. If the momentum continues to develop, if Da Liang is allowed to survive the cold winter and slowly recover, perhaps the northern barbarians will really have no room for survival.
"I don't dare to say what the second prince is like," Gu Yun said, "but I understand Calais Ying, that old man would rather die than sit still, let alone a son, even a relative. Dad, we have to keep a hand too—go get my seal."
This night, more than ten beacon fire orders were issued from the Beida Camp, and the level was the same as when the foreigners approached Dagu Port. The entire northwest to the capital along the post all sent more troops to the enemy, and the Lingshu Academy sent an additional group of troops. Manpower rushed to the North Defense Army station, inspected the situation of the lighter steel armor, and prepared for a battle at any time.
Daliang entered the winter with the coming of the mountains and rain, and will soon enter a new year, but the court was very calm.
The place where King Yan was holding the military plane was almost at the center of the whirlpool. His return made everyone secretly pay attention, but King Yan exceeded everyone's expectations.
He did not start the follow-up reforms radically when he came back, as Fang Qin thought, but instead "cooked small fresh food".
After King Yan returned to Beijing, he changed his previous busy state. He stayed at home for half a month before quietly appearing at the military plane. He didn't say much at all the ceremonies, as if he was fighting again. The invisible man before, usually handles some daily affairs in the military aircraft office. It is time to write a summary and a summary. It is time to send it to the palace. Besides, don't even think about him worrying about one extra thing.
Anyway, just in terms of the quantity and quality of the booklets Li Feng received in the palace, it doesn't matter if King Yan doesn't come back to the base.
In the past, there was no one of Yanwang among the people who held candles every night in the military aircraft office and went to the middle of the night. He came around during the day and left at noon in the evening. Xiaoyuanzi, when Gu Yunpao didn't come home from the Peking University camp, he strolled over to plant flowers and play birds. In less than half a month, he was stunned to sweeten the mouth of the plagued starling from the Shen family. Honey, when you see people, you can boast that the tail is bald, and the feathers make the servants tie a shuttlecock and send it to the little prince to play.
Li Feng's legs can almost be rubbed against each other to walk. He makes books every day, and with the help of the maid, he can walk around the room a few times. I accidentally remembered that day when I came to the prince's study. The prince is very well-behaved. Feng didn't alarm him, he held the servant at the back door for a while, but his eyes were attracted by a small decoration on the crown of the prince.
I saw that it was not an ordinary clay embryo, but a metal shelf with thin steam at the tail. There was a delicate carriage on the metal tracks on both sides. The body was a western clock, which was going round and round. The track ran back and forth, surrounded by a small flower pot in the middle, the pot was still empty, and the air holes specially reserved at the bottom could be seen, probably because the prince had not yet thought about what to plant.
Li Feng walked over slowly and picked it up to take a closer look. The prince was taken aback. He hurriedly got up to greet him, and secretly glanced at his father, for fear of being scolded for "playing with things and losing his mind".
Li Feng was probably in a good mood, and he didn't see any sullenness. He just asked: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has opened up sources of income and reduced expenditures. Haven't they been allowed to enter these extravagant playthings in recent years, where did they come from?"
The prince didn't dare to come out, so he cautiously replied: "Back to the father, this was not bought by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was given to the son by the uncle of the fourth emperor."
Li Feng frowned slightly: "I haven't seen Amin for a while, so he's busy with these things?"
The servant stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, didn't His Royal Highness King Yan ask you for a garden last time? He was not busy with official business recently, so he built a greenhouse in the garden, cultivated some rare flowers and plants, and studied with Ge Lingshu. It’s almost New Year’s Eve, and everyone is willing to put flowers. Your Highness’s fresh bonsai is hard to come by. You see, there is water in this little carriage, and it will be watered at regular intervals every day. If the light is good, it will look like this. Run a few laps, and there will be little rainbows around the water droplets."
The prince whispered beside him: "Uncle Huang said that all he bought were ordinary grass seeds and flower seeds, and he collected them from the countryside for a penny, and he bought them and put them in a pot, but cut them out to fool the arty rich people. Exactly."
Li Feng: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! I said last time that I asked him to help the prince a lot, just let him teach the prince how to fool people with flowers and birds?"
As soon as he slapped his face, the prince was frightened, and stayed silent.
Li Feng put the flower pot down heavily, and asked with a stern face, "I asked you to learn the way to govern the country with King Yan. What he taught you, let's hear it."
The crown prince glanced at him quickly, and he was frightened in his heart, but he didn't dare to neglect his mouth, and replied in a soft voice: "Back to the father and the emperor, the four emperors' uncles teach the children and ministers, governing a big country is not about endless hours and exhaustion, the most important thing is The main thing is to make the best use of things and people. Laws and systems are the foundation of the ruling power of the superior, as long as good systems and laws are established, civil and military officials can perform their duties, and the source of the national treasury is stable, eh”
Li Feng's brows eased slightly. Hearing his son's mouth stumbling, he couldn't help but ask, "How?"
The prince bit his head and said: "You can be lazy and mix imperial food once and for all."
Li Feng: ""
The little prince pursed his lips, for fear that his father would be furious when he heard this deviant bastard. However, after waiting for a long time, the expected scolding and punishment did not fall on him. He raised his head tremblingly and looked at Li Feng glanced at him, but saw the calm expression of the unequivocal emperor, after thinking for a long time, he sighed: "He is right, Amin can see better than me."
The prince looked at him for unknown reasons, and always felt that his father was in a good mood today.
There are some two hundred and five in the court who are not too long-sighted, thinking that King Yan is silent, because Yang Ronggui lost his holy heart in the rebellion, so he did not dare to take any action, and he reassured himself and boldly slammed the king of Yan. Emperor Long'an, who showed up, had an attack in court, and his intention to protect was beyond words.
Not only that, but the next day, this iron-rooster-like emperor made an exception to allow the Ministry of Internal Affairs to overspend its allotted expenses, and took advantage of it at a high price. It is considered that Li Feng opened a small stove for his brother at his own expense.
The feng shui of the military aircraft was incomprehensible for a while.
The impeachment papers prepared by Fang Qin and others have been rewritten and rewritten, and they have not had the opportunity to send them up until the New Year, which makes Fang Qin involuntarily puzzled—could it be that there are really people in the world who are in danger and leave with the seal , without ambition
This peaceful day lasted until the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, when Beiman Proton arrived in the capital.
