The blue wind was floating, the green grass was swaying, the young general was wearing a blue armor, sitting on the horseback, opened the letter in his hand, and read it silently for a long time.
There was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and Wei Shuye rode over from behind. Looking at his uncertain expression, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Zhuge Si has sent another letter?"
"Yeah." After a long time, Zhao Chefang raised his head, chuckled, and said, "He has another daughter, and he asked me for a title."
"Oh?" Wei Shuye smiled sincerely, "He has both sons and daughters, so he should send a congratulatory gift."
"Don't worry about it, he opened the gift list himself, let us send it as he wrote."
Wei Shuye was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled and said: "They are both the fathers of two children, and they still look like this awkward, no matter what happens, they will not suffer."
Zhao Che's eyes were gentle, and he seemed to be recalling some memories of his youth. He said with a smile, "He has been like this since he was a child. Do you still remember that when we were studying together in Shangwu Hall, everyone had to have a birthday party? Red envelope congratulatory gift, but he has a weird temper, never speaks, and does not serve wine. Once Thirteen ate him a meal, which happened to be his birthday, and Shisan bragged to us afterwards, saying how amazing he was, eating Zhuge Si's free food. As a result, the next day, more than 20 shops went to the housekeeper of Shisan to collect the bill, saying that the fourth young master of Zhuge Mansion bought a bunch of things, all in the name of Shisan, and asked them to go to him Collect money."
Wei Shuye laughed and said, "I remember it, I still remember it fresh. His Highness the Thirteenth Hemorrhage really badly, he took half a year's salary for one meal, and borrowed money from me for three consecutive months, and he still hasn't paid it back."
"Haha, it is said that Shisan is a kind person, but in fact he is the most cunning. Since he was a child, he has always borrowed money and never repays it."
The two walked back while talking. Now Zhao Che's palace is located in Shuanghan City, adjacent to North Ross, covering a vast area, comparable to Zhenhuang, the capital of Great Xia. After several years of development, the population has gradually prospered, and it has become somewhat like the number one commercial capital in the Northland.
Before entering the city, I heard the clatter of horseshoes rushing towards me. The woman who ran in the front was wearing a red cloak and wearing red fox leather riding boots. Her cheeks were slightly red and her eyes were picturesque. Looking carefully, her belly was still slightly bulging. , seems to be pregnant. Seeing Zhao Che, her eyes lit up immediately, she swung her whip fiercely, and rushed forward.
Zhao Che couldn't help frowning, but Wei Shuye covered his mouth and smiled lowly.
"Don't tell me when you come back, hehe, didn't I find out?!" The woman has already been the mother of two children, and now the third child is about to be born, but she still looks like a girl, swinging the whip , looking up at Zhao Che with his small chin up, squinting his eyes, with a proud look on his face.
"I'm pregnant, why are you still riding a horse? You didn't take what I said to heart, did you?"
"Tch!" Wanyanrou snorted softly, and said nonchalantly, "I was born on horseback by my grandmother, our Donghu women are not as delicate as your Daxia women." She jumped suddenly After getting off the horse, he ran to Zhao Che's side in a few steps, and climbed onto his horse's back with hands and feet. Looking at that posture, it seems that he wants to share a ride with him.
"Pull me, pull me!" Wan Yanrou shouted from the side while standing on tiptoe. With a big belly, it is really inconvenient to get on a horse.
Looking at her stubborn little face, Zhao Che was finally defeated helplessly. He sighed and pulled her onto the horse's back, but he didn't dare to gallop the horse. He just lightly kicked the horse's belly to let the horse slowly walk.
And Miss Wanyanrou, who kept saying that she was not as delicate as the Daxia woman, leaned obediently in her husband's arms, smiling like a cat that had eaten fish.
As soon as he returned to the palace, a servant came to report, saying it was a battle report from the inland. Wanyan Rou was so angry that she cursed and went back to the harem with her mouth pouted, saying she was looking for her son Cuju.
As Zhao Che walked towards the main hall, he told the servants to watch over her. The afternoon sun was warm and shone golden on the ground through the window panes.
The news was sent by Zhao Yang's people, and the content was similar to what Zhuge Yue said, only more detailed.
Zhao Yang has been active on the northern border for the past few years, so it's not surprising that he knows a lot. What's more, Zhuge Yue's letter should have been sent half a month ago. At that time, the fighting situation was not intense. It was not easy for him to realize the seriousness of the situation in advance.
Wei Shuye had known for a long time that Zhuge Yue's letter writing would not be such a trivial matter, but he had just returned from an expedition to Tuguhun, and Zhao Che didn't want him to worry. So he just went home for a while, then entered the palace, just entered the Palace of Qinzheng, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Che summoned a group of generals and ministers to discuss military affairs.
After discussing for two full hours, when it was time for dinner, Wan Yanrou sent someone to urge her several times, and almost came to fight with the ministers in person, and finally the elders had to leave the palace full of anxiety. Zhao Che asked Wei Shuye to eat, and Wei Shuye didn't refuse, but during the meal, he couldn't help being gouged out several times by a certain woman who wanted to occupy her husband by herself.
After eating, the two went into the study, and Zhao Che asked straight to the point: "What do you think about this matter?"
Wei Shuye smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness should have already made up his mind, why bother asking me again?"
Zhao Che frowned and said, "I haven't decided yet."
"Your Highness is hesitating, but it has already been decided."
Zhao Che sat down slowly, stroking the wall of the teacup with his fingers, and remained silent.
"Princess Jing'an is willing to risk the disapproval of the world by attacking Meilin Pass and letting the soldiers go eastward. This is simply seeking her own death. Your Highness, this time, even if she is a blood descendant of my Great Xia, she cannot be tolerated. "
Seeing that Zhao Che was silent, Wei Shuye continued: "At the beginning she murdered Chu Qiao several times, if it wasn't for your face, Zhuge Si would have done it long ago. These years, Bian Tang didn't move her, Qinghai didn't move her , Yan Xun didn't know what to think, she had the opportunity several times, but she didn't do it in the end, and we secretly protected her, so her life was not in danger. But this time, she did too much."
Zhao Che was silent for a moment, then said, "The Quanrong people have already reached Beishuo."
"Dayan was first established, but within six years, the domestic forces were unstable, and the local Daxia troops had not been completely removed. Under the banner of restoring the Xia Dynasty, Princess Chun could indeed take some advantage, but as long as the time passes, let the common people Seeing the brutality of Quan Rong, he and the army will definitely turn against him, and at that time, Princess Chun will fall into a completely passive situation, and the name of the Eastern Continent traitor is guaranteed."
Wei Shuye talked eloquently, after several years of bloody washing, he was no longer the handsome young man in Zhenhuang City.
Zhao Che frowned, and said slowly: "Master Zhang said, do you think it's feasible?"
Wei Shuye laughed and said: "Your Highness, you know it well, so why ask me?"
Zhao Che looked at him, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Indeed, no wonder Ah Rou said that I am getting more and more mother-in-law, so she is really worrying about gains and losses."
"It's the same for all the high-ranking people. You used to be just a vassal king, but now you are the monarch of Great Xia. You have to be responsible for so many people, so you have to be cautious."
"I understand that Yanbei's rule has been stabilized. Now that the situation in the north is chaotic, we can't fight on both sides. The result of taking care of it at the same time can only be nothing. We can't take advantage of this advantage."
Wei Shuye said: "Then Zhuge Si's proposal?"
"Let's look again." Zhao Che frowned, "We are different from him. Qinghai has always been independent and has no fundamental hatred with the inland, while our soldiers, especially the upper-level officers, hate Yanbei to the bone. Wouldn't it be more difficult for them to help Yanbei fight than to kill them?"
Wei Shuye sighed helplessly when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "Oh, why are we fighting for others?"
Zhao Che also smiled helplessly, "How can it make sense with these people."
"By the way, the ritual officer sent a fast horse out of the customs just now, what is the matter in such a hurry?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Che finally showed a relaxed smile, and said, "It's not about finding a wife for Xian'er, but now the Princess Pearl of the Zhuge family is a treasure, I have to settle the marriage before Bian Tang."
"Tang Emperor Li Xiuyi?" Wei Shuye asked in surprise, "Didn't he already appoint a queen?"
"You forgot, Li Ce has another son, the son of Concubine Zhan, who has been living in Qinghai."
"Oh, I remembered." Wei Shuye nodded and said, "I have met that child once, and he is very similar to his father, especially his eyes."
Zhao Che leaned on the back of the chair, and said triumphantly: "I have to take away so many things, sooner or later let him return them to me as my daughter's dowry."
The wind blows from the north, and the green grass has just sprouted. At this time, Qinghai is already raining on plantains, and it is a lush color.
In the dead of night, Chu Qiao was wearing cotton white pajamas, and lowered the shutters of the windows, and the sound of the pattering rain was immediately blocked out. A pair of red candles were quietly burning, the flames were faint, and there was silence.
A pair of hands encircled her from behind, warm breath behind her ears. Zhuge Yue leaned against her soft body with deep tiredness, and said softly, "I haven't slept yet."
"If you don't come back, how dare I sleep first?"
Chu Qiao turned around with a smile, pecked lightly on his lips, and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to tell the kitchen to prepare dinner? I'll ask someone to keep it warm for you."
Zhuge Yue smiled, seemingly dissatisfied with her superficial kiss, lowered his head, and covered Chu Qiao's soft lips, using his lips to trace the shape of her lips, and the tip of his tongue deftly pried open her shell-like teeth, Her tongues tangled hotly.
Chu Qiao hugged his waist tenderly, and responded fervently. After a while, the temperature in the air seemed to rise out of nowhere. Zhuge Yue's hoarse voice rang in his ears, full of strong lust, not seductive, "How many days have passed, and you don't miss me?"
Chu Qiao's cheeks were pink, she was panting delicately, she leaned against his arms, her head was raised, her eyes seemed to be covered with mist, moist and faint.
"I miss you so much, if you abuse me like this again, I'm going to marry my concubine."
