That night, after Yun Chi went to the banquet, he discussed with Su Qingfeng and An Shiliu until dawn.
The next day, Yun Chi and Hua Yan left 500,000 soldiers and horses in Qingyuan City, and took Zhou Hongmei and Zhou Rui back to Beijing.
Inside the carriage, Hua Yan explained to Yun Chi, "Zhou Hongmei couldn't go out because she was in poor health since she was a child, and was dragged down by her illness. She could only read to pass the time. When I saw her back then, she was just a little girl lying on the couch crookedly sick. She looked pale, but she was bookish. I chatted with her and realized that she was well-read. When she chatted with me, she sighed that she wished she could be a man. Make meritorious deeds and do something for the common people, because she felt that the common people suffered too much, especially the common people who lived in the bitter cold of the Northland, I was shocked back then."
Yun Chi suddenly realized, "No wonder you have never been a nosy person, especially now that you are pregnant and you want to bring her to Beijing. You want her to be like Zhao Qingxi, and enter the court for my use"
Huayan nodded, "In this world, there are many beautiful people, but at a young age, they are compassionate and know the sufferings of the people, especially when they are daughters and suffer from illness, but they still wish to serve the court as a man and want to do for the people. There are very few people who do good things. At that time, I only thought it was rare, so I asked Xia Yuan to use a precious medicine that my brother found with great difficulty, and healed her."
Yun Chi nodded, "Give her the medicine you finally found, that's something you will do."
Huayan smiled, "Because my brother is always here, without a single medicine, it would take me a year longer to cure her disease, but if she didn't have that medicine, she might die. See you Xia Yuan When we got to her, she only had one month's life span. When I met Xia Yuan and I, she deserved her life."
Yun Chi nodded, "Zhou Rui is young, but his talent is outstanding, so Zhou Hongmei is much better than Zhou Rui."
Huayan nodded, "Naturally, after returning to Beijing, I'll give her a test and you'll know."
Yun Chiqing said "hmm" and pondered, "Zhao Qingxi was allowed to enter the imperial court because Zhao Zaifu raised her since she was a child. Everyone knew that she was as talented as a man, but there was a lot of pressure, so she was promoted exceptionally, but Zhou Hongmei Entering the imperial court, she is just the daughter of a local official in Qingyuan City, her talent is unknown, so it will take a lot of effort to let her enter the imperial court."
"It's simple." Hua Yan said with a smile, "Let her help Zhao Qingxi, not included in the court establishment for the time being. Zhao Qingxi also needs manpower, after all, she is a woman, and sometimes it is inconvenient for her to be assisted by a man. Ladies, it's much more convenient."
Yun Chi laughed, "That's a way. You haven't gotten to know Zhou Hongmei yet, don't you know if she likes it or not? After all, she has been raised in a boudoir for too long, especially since she lived in Qingyuan City since she was a child. Unlike Zhao Qingxi who has read thousands of volumes, It may not be able to adapt to the prosperity of the capital."
"Because of this, we need to give her time to adapt. I won't tell you anything, I just let her adapt to the capital for a while, and let her adoptive mother take her around a lot in the name of choosing a relative for her. Then, she If the ambition of childhood is still there, I will give her a push. If the court wants to employ people, at this time, it will not stick to one pattern."
"Yeah." Yun Chi stretched out his hand to touch her head, and sighed softly, "Pregnant women, don't overthink. I'm supposed to take care of government affairs, but you're tired of worrying about me every day."
"What is this? I'm idle every day. I just think about it. I don't get tired when I think about it." Huayan took his hand, patted the soft mattress beside him, and said softly, "You haven't slept all night. Your eye sockets are all blue, so hurry up and get some sleep. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with rushing, so you can sleep soundly."
Yun Chi nodded. He was indeed a little tired, so he lay down and closed his eyes.
As Huayan expected, Su Zizheng immediately mobilized troops to attack Qingyuan City after returning to Jiuhuan Mountain. When the generals were all killed by Yun Chi's hands, they were so enraged that they almost vomited blood.
He had underestimated Yunchi before, but he didn't dare to underestimate him anymore, but he never expected that he would dare to single-handedly break into his 200,000 barracks territory, take away his 200,000 soldiers and horses, and after several days day, he knew.
Yan Junshi also turned pale, and knelt down to plead guilty, "Master, forgive me. I am incompetent. Please punish me. I am willing to die to apologize."
The 200,000 soldiers and horses were raised in the Wumeng Mountain, and no one knew better than him, the person who has been with Su Zizhe, how much effort was devoted to raising them. He could even predict what it would mean for his master to lose these 200,000 soldiers and horses Well, what does it mean for Yunchi to have an extra two hundred thousand troops.
Su Zizhe's face was livid and ugly, he stared at Yan Junshi's head for a while, and said angrily, "What crime are you asking for? You stay with me all the time. If you apologize with death, don't I want to commit suicide too?"
Junshi Yan stood up awkwardly, not daring to say any more, and asked tentatively, "Master, what should we do now? Can we still attack Qingyuan City? Qingyuan City now has 500,000 troops brought by Yun Chi, and we now have 500,000 troops." One hundred thousand soldiers, I can assure you that his five hundred thousand soldiers will definitely lose to our five hundred thousand elite soldiers."
Su Zizhe remained silent, turned his back and looked out the window.
Yan Junshi stopped talking and stood behind him silently. Whenever such a big event happened, he knew that Su Zizhe would make the best decision for him, so he didn't need to say anything. Although, except for the matter of dealing with Huayan, he was too confused, but at this time Huayan was gone, so naturally he would not interfere with her muddled decision.
After two cups of tea, Su Zizhe seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a deep voice, "Continue to train all the soldiers and horses without slack, don't send troops for now, and let me dispatch them."
Yan Junshi looked at Su Zizhe's back and asked in a low voice, "Master won't send troops anymore, should we just let Yunchi and Chen Bing celebrate Yuancheng and we ignore it?"
"It should be Yunchi who is in a hurry." Su Zi Zhehan said, "Even if there are two hundred thousand soldiers missing, as long as we keep guarding the Jiuhuan Mountain and occupying the unique terrain, Yunchi would not dare to take him with him." If the soldiers attacked by force, if he really attacked by force, then it would be exactly what I wanted."
Master Yan Jun thought about it carefully, and it was true, he bowed his hands, "Master is right."
Su Zizhe pondered for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid the King of Lingnan can't rule Yunrang, why don't I go to Lingnan myself, and force Yunrang to help me no matter what." After saying that, he gritted his teeth grimly, "Once Yun Rang's move will definitely make Yun Chi peel off."
Yan Junshi was shocked, "Master, if you want to go to Lingnan in person, it's better to be subordinate. You have to sit here. If you leave, the half a million soldiers will be killed again."
"Don't tell me that you can't stand these half a million soldiers." Su Zizhe turned around abruptly and said angrily, "Everything depends on me alone, why should you dare to leave the huge government and go out of Beijing?" Come to this bitter cold place to rescue Huayan, why can't I leave these half a million soldiers and go to Lingnan to recover Yun and let An Shuli sit in the court to help Yunchi, you tell me you can't do it"
Junshi Yan knelt down on the ground with a "plop" immediately, not daring to argue, and said loudly, "Your subordinates must watch over the 500,000 soldiers and horses, and they will die."
Su Zizhe's anger that was on the verge of eruption stopped, and said coldly, "The five hundred thousand soldiers and horses will be handed over to you. No troops are allowed without my order. In addition, I will block Su Zizhan to death so that he can move every inch." Can't leave."
"Master, don't worry." Yan Junshi gritted his teeth and expressed his opinion.
Only then did Su Zizhe feel better, and waved his hands, "Get up, I'll set off right away."
So, on that day, Su Zizhe didn't even meet Su Zizhan, so he set off to leave Jiuhuan Mountain, traveling day and night, to Lingnan.
He is clever and cunning, and feels that Yunchi may not understand him, but Huayan must have understood him a lot, so once that woman finds out that he is using the Lingnan Palace to plot the country, she will definitely send someone to Lingnan The Wang Fu rescued Yun Rang, he had to control Yun Rang before the people she sent.
At this time, whoever is fast will take the first step, and whoever is slow will be passive and tricky.
The Lingnan Palace has become a target, and Yun Rang, the son of the Lingnan Palace, has become a must.
On the same day, Qinghun reported to Su Zizhan, "My lord, two thousand more troops have been dispatched outside the courtyard."
"What happened?" Yun Chi asked.
Qinghun shook his head, and said shamelessly, "Your subordinates can't find out. Now this courtyard is like a wall of iron and steel. It seems that the eldest son is going to look at you to death."
Su Zizhan put down the picture book that Huayan was reading when he was here, opened the window, and looked out. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Su Zizhe must have left, for fear that I would run away, that's why it happened." Send more troops to guard against death.”
Qinghun was startled, "Could it be that the eldest son left Jiuhuan Mountain with his soldiers and horses?"
"Not necessarily, I didn't hear the movement of a large number of soldiers and horses." Su Zi shook his head, "He must have something to deal with personally." After he finished speaking, he thought about it, "Perhaps, it is related to the Lingnan Palace. .”
Qinghun didn't quite understand, and wanted to ask again, but seeing Su Zizhan reach into his bosom, and took out three copper coins, he swallowed back what he was about to ask.
