Of course, Lord Wumin had a purpose in keeping Feng Youyou, and he had an even more purpose in saying that he wanted to escort Wu Yong.

In the evening when Wu Yong and Feng Youyou came, Mr. Wumin asked me to call He Qin, the general who had not been out of the army for a long time but returned to the country because the eight cities did not need to fight, and gave him some instructions.

This order is very simple. It means that Beichang and Xiyang are friendly countries, and the two countries have a good relationship. Now there are traitors in Beichang who hold important powers and disrupt the court. As a friendly country that loves justice and loves peace, we, Xiyang, cannot sit idly by. Ignore it, so I have to intervene. And Wu Yong happened to come to us and expressed that he was willing to help, so He Qin could take Wu Yong to attack Beichang Kingdom in the name of "the side of Qing Dynasty".

After He Qin heard this, he nodded solemnly and admiringly. After all, it would be very bad if he was sent out indiscriminately and his reputation was not right. Now that the third prince Wu Yong is with us, it is a lot of course. I just feel sorry for Wu Yong, who was arrested by us early the next morning, Feng Youyou waved his hands with a smile and said, "Go and come back soon~"

Whether Wu Yong can come back or not depends largely on He Qin, because if He Qin wins the battle, Wu Yong is the uncle of the little emperor, and he should be in power now, and Feng Youyou can still be in power by then. Princess... Well, it's too far.

If He Qin loses, Lord Wumin said that Wu Yong can be properly exchanged.

I:"… "

I can't stop it, and I don't bother to stop it. This is a struggle between countries. Even if I know Wu Yong, I can't stop it. What's more... Judging from the current situation, the young master is facing internal and external enemies. With Wu Yong in hand, maybe some people will even cooperate with He Qin, as long as the young master can be driven out of power.

When the time comes, He Qin will turn his back on him at any time, and he doesn't know how many cities he will occupy...

He Qin carried Wu Yong away, I was slightly worried, but Lord Wumin said that he used He Qin because He Qin could win. Previously, He Qin returned to court before the fight started. I don't know how powerful He Qin is, but Mr. Wumin said so, it must not be too weak.

Feng Youyou didn't notice anything, every day in the palace, I sometimes wanted to talk to her, but because of my status and fear of her misunderstanding, I couldn't go, but Mr. Wumin saw my thoughts and naturally accompanied Feng Youyou for me. While talking leisurely, the two of them still chatted happily.

I can only... I can only be relieved...

It didn't take long for the news of He Qin's victory in the first battle to come. Sure enough, as Mr. Wumin and I expected, the young master is very unpopular in the country, and he also has no support for his subjects. Knowing that Wu Yong and He Qin's army is on one side, many folks The organization secretly helped. The gates of the border city of Beichang Kingdom were opened, and He Qin invaded the city.

Then things went smoothly, and He Qin led Wu Yong all the way to the imperial city. On one side was the loyal army of the young master, and on the other was He Qin and the army determined to overthrow the young prince. The two sides were at a stalemate in the imperial city.

In addition, while I have to care about the war outside, I also care about the Grand Master.

The Grand Master is over seventy this year. Although he was in good spirits before, he is still very old. After the beginning of spring, Taishi's health became a little weak, and he asked for sick leave several times. But the grand master has been sticking to his post, and has no intention of returning to his hometown at all.

With such a grand master, I am moved for Mr. Wumin, but now the grand master is sick again and again, and his complexion is getting worse every day, so I can't bear it. An old man should actually be at home and enjoy the family happiness, but It is for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, and to supervise me, a somewhat unreliable emperor, the grand master probably never stops.

I told Mr. Wumin about this matter, and Mr. Wumin also had feelings for the Grand Master, and was a little worried.

After all, I finally asked the Grand Master not to come to court for the time being, and to recuperate at home with peace of mind.

But the grand master never forgot the war in Beichang, so I simply arranged for someone to listen to the urgent report from afar with me and Mr. Wumin every time, as soon as that person finished listening, he would go to the grand master's mansion Reporting, if there is an occasional failure, I will let him hide it, in short, it is to report the good news and not the bad news.

The grand master is recuperating in peace of mind in the mansion. The imperial doctor who came back from the grand master's mansion said that the grand master's health has improved slightly, so I am a little relieved.

At the same time, good news came from He Qin.

Although it is good news, it is a bit of a surprise.

Because the official decisive battle has not yet started, the young master died, and he was assassinated. According to the people in the small prince's house, only one woman was seen.

Naturally, Mr. Wumin and I both thought of that somewhat special woman, but we don't know if it's her or not.

The tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and once the young master died, the rest of the people were routed and repelled one after another. He Qin followed Wumin Lord's instructions, and without waiting for the people from Beichang Kingdom to react, he secretly took Wu Yong and the army back. Xiyang country.

The rest of the people were dumbfounded -- Wu Yong was actually taken back.

This is Lord Wumin's consideration, and it is naturally very reasonable. After all, although He Qin helped them, he is the general of the Xiyang Kingdom. If he really stays there with them stupidly, the people of Beichang Kingdom will turn their faces in the future , He Qinshen is in the imperial city, where can he resist

Bringing Wu Yong back, the people of Beichang Kingdom could not do anything to He Qin, but asked Xiyang Kingdom to return Wu Yong. The end of the young master is that person's end.

Of course, we said that it is useless to keep Wu Yong, but He Qin has fought so hard for so long—although it may not be that hard, but we must speak fully. In short, Xiyang Country has produced so many manpower It is impossible to deal with material resources casually like this. Beichang Kingdom expressed that it is willing to deliver two more cities.

Because the emperor wrote to me last time, saying that the border towns of Dongyuan Kingdom were frequently provoked by Beichang Kingdom, and the trade exchanges were also very unfair. Yuan Country—Actually, I think it’s a bit bitter. Beichang Country is already bleak enough, but Dongyuan Country is still being bullied by Beichang Country... Even if it’s time to cultivate health and rest, it’s been too long...

I asked Mr. Wumin whether it is possible for Beichang Kingdom to pay the tribute money and cloth, cattle, sheep, gold and silver on behalf of Dongyuan Kingdom. Lord Wumin readily agreed, so Beichang Kingdom had one more thing to bear.

In fact, apart from Wu Yong, most of the reason why Beichang Kingdom is so easy to talk about is because they have seen the power of He Qin. They are in chaos now. If we take advantage of the fire to loot, it may not only be a matter of the two cities.

I looked at Lord Wumin and I was ready to move, but I changed bodies with Lord Wumin. It would be inconvenient for Lord Wumin to conquest in person, not to mention... I don't like war, and I can use this method to knock down the Beichang Kingdom little by little , is better than going to war directly and losing lives.

Mr. Wumin knew what I was thinking, but he didn't stop him. I felt that he had changed a little bit, and I was happy and proud of it.

He Qin returned triumphantly, and the country was full of joy. Even the grand master, who had been ill all the time, suddenly went to court in good spirits. I am very happy, the grand master is right-hand man.

After the court, many people surrounded the Grand Master. After all, he had been away for a while, but the Grand Master was much more kind than usual, smiling like an ordinary grandpa.

After the others left, the grand master expressed that he wanted to talk to me alone, and I quickly agreed.

I walked with the grand master to the imperial garden. There is a pavilion in the imperial garden. The surrounding flowers are fragrant and the air is clear and clear. Although it is spring, it is still very cold outside the house. The grand master and I sat in the pavilion, each holding a Stove, sit down and talk.

The Grand Master spoke first: "Your Majesty, in fact, the old minister was also at fault for what happened back then."

I had a question mark all over my head, not knowing what the grand master was talking about.

Taishi said: "Back then the late emperor had such an idea. The minister knew it clearly and wanted to stop it, but in the end he acquiesced... I am a minister of the three dynasties. I have seen the struggle between the late emperor and them, and I know that in order to fight for the throne, To what extent will brothers kill each other, and to what extent will the court and the whole world be chaotic."

Me: "... um, um."

What exactly is he talking about? Could it be... related to the injury on Lord Wumin's body

Probably because I thought my answer was a bit perfunctory, the Grand Master smiled and said: "I know you still care about the past... Yes, your brother... Heh, maybe you don't want to admit that he is your brother, hey, What he did was indeed too much. He was still young at that time, but he used such vicious tricks to deal with you... "

I:"… "

How do I feel, I seem to have guessed right? ! It really has something to do with the scars on Lord Wumin's body! Lord Wumin's brother did it? But I only knew that the emperor of Xiyang Kingdom had only one son, Lord Wumin, the crown prince! When did he pop out a brother? !

The grand master didn't see the doubt on my face, but looked at the cloudless sky outside the pavilion, and said: "Hey, it's probably true that he was destined in the dark. Pick it up, you are covered in wounds, I don't know it, it's really... "

Seeing that the grand master was about to cry, I hurriedly said: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you, those who don't know are not guilty..."

The grand master glanced at me, smiled and said: "It seems that after Princess Changyi married, your temper has improved a lot... Heh, I know you hate the first emperor the most... He always knew what you suffered, But turn a blind eye..."

The grand master sighed, and said: "It is expected that the relationship between your father and son is so distant. Your majesty, you have not become a feared tyrant. It is already Xiyang's luck... However, I am afraid that you are still with Princess Changyi. It has something to do with it."

As he spoke, he seemed to be lost in memories, and said: "At that time, you attacked Dongyuan Country with good reasons at the beginning, but later it seemed that you killed for the sake of killing. I am very worried... Fortunately, now you don't have that addiction anymore It feels like killing."

I said: "Yes... At that time, I didn't know..."

The grand master smiled: "I can't say that, after all, it's still for Xiyang country, just to govern the world, relying on force alone is not enough, you are now excellent in martial arts, you can conquer the east and the north, but the land you conquered is not enough. Few people really surrender, but using other means, it’s not the case... For example, last time Beichang Kingdom, but the people of the ten cities that they handed over to them are now very disappointed with Beichang Kingdom, and if you treat them kindly, they will Willing to surrender, isn't it? Although it is only a very small possibility that the enemy will hand over the land, it is enough to make people understand that to rule the world, you must have both virtue and force. This time He Qin returned from a great victory, But it was not a direct attack. Our soldiers did not have hundreds of casualties, which is unprecedented, thanks to the wise decision of the emperor..."

I nodded repeatedly and said: "What the grand master said is very true... I will never use force indiscriminately in the future."

I recorded what the grand master said in my mind, and planned to repeat it to Mr. Wumin later.

The grand master nodded: "Your Majesty, you are fine now. This world, these four countries, will all be prosperous in the future. You must not be troubled by the past anymore."

Although I don't know what the "past things" the grand master said, but seeing the solemn and sad tone of the grand master, I nodded again and again: "Definitely, definitely."

The grand master pointed to the winter jasmine outside, and said: "These flowers are finally blooming at this time after the cold winter, isn't it just like your majesty, even though you have experienced such a painful past, you are still growing today... It's a pity, I can't see the day when you unify the four countries..."

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I quickly looked at the jasmine flowers he pointed out. The jasmine flowers bloomed better than at the beginning of spring. It was the most beautiful and luxuriant time, occupying a large area of the imperial garden. The bright yellow swayed gently in the wind, like countless yellow cloth blown by the breeze.

I gently wiped away my tears, and said: "Grand Master, what are you talking about... You can definitely see this day."

The grand master didn't answer.

I turned my head slowly and saw him leaning on the back of the chair with his eyes closed, as if he had just fallen asleep suddenly.

In the first year of Xiyang Fengshun, the elders of the three dynasties, a generation of grand masters, died.
