Chapter 765: Brothers and sisters, are you okay?
While the two people in Qianqiu Palace were chatting and laughing, in the lobby of Yu Mansion on the other side, there was a bang, breaking the tranquility.
A teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Wu Shan County Duke Yu Dingxing’s face was pale, and his expression was a little panicked. He looked at the eunuch who came out of the palace to deliver the news. His face was not very good at all, and he was even more frightened by this. , hurriedly expressed comfort, and winked at the people around him. Immediately, someone presented a few banknotes and respectfully sent the young eunuch out.
As soon as the person left, Yu Dingxing's face darkened.
He coldly looked back at Yu Mingyue, who was sitting under his left hand. After hearing everything that happened in Liangyi Hall today, Yu Mingyue was still calm and calm, and said in a deep voice: "Is this what you said, foolproof?"
"..."
Although he was calm and calm, the moment he heard these words, there was still a trace of frustration that could not be concealed in his eyes.
Yu Mingyue turned her head and looked at him.
Yu Dingxing said again: "Is this what you said, everything is under control?"
"..."
In normal times, Yu Mingyue would have 10,000 words to respond to such a question, but today, she just learned about the "complete defeat" in the Liangyi Palace. In planning, there is also a chance of failure, but if it actually fails, you can't help but feel frustrated and lost, and you may even be short of breath and unable to respond.
After being silent for a long time, she only said: "Why is father like this?"
"Why is it like this?"
The more Yu Dingxing listened, the angrier he became, and he even couldn't help clenching his fists. . After all, he was born as a martial artist and has a bad temper. Moreover, he has had no affection for this daughter for so many years. Now he sees her doing things without consulting him, acting on her own initiative, taking such a big risk, and the result is like this. If he fails miserably, according to his usual rule, he will punish him.
But he finally endured it.
Although he had abandoned this daughter, and although he had earned the title of Duke of Wushan through her actions, it was because of these that Yu Dingxing was unable to have the kind of fatherhood he deserved for her. Female love, even if it is Ants on a rope also have a strange mentality of earning from each other and being wary of each other, and she seems to be the same way; but no matter what, after all, Yu Mingyue still receives the salary from the court, and it is the official name of Jixian Palace, so it is not He can do whatever he wants. What's more, even if the emperor changed his mind and did not accept her as his daughter-in-law, the relationship between her and the prince was still there. The person who just came to report the news was someone sent by Han Shanggong, and they knew the relationship between Han Shanggong and the prince very well. .
This is why Yu Dingxing has always tolerated her.
I couldn't do anything, but I couldn't swallow the anger in my heart. Yu Dingxing gritted his teeth and sneered: "Who said before that there would be a fire in the backyard of His Highness King Qin, and he would not care about us."
< br>“……”
"Now, so what?"
"..."
"What did you say you were going to do? What kind of female rivalry, but now there is no fight between Princess Qin and Princess Qin's concubine. Not only are they not fighting Du, the two of them actually cooperated tacitly, covering up the people you assigned and the things you did in just a few words."
"..."
"That's all. The matter in King Qin's backyard has nothing to do with us. Even if the sisters are of the same mind and love each other, it has nothing to do with us; but because of this matter, now Most of the power in the hands of Han Shanggong has been transferred to Yu Mingli. Do you know what this means? ”
The more he spoke, the uglier Yu Mingyue's face became.
Actually, Yu Dingxing didn't need to explain it to her word by word. The little eunuch who came from the palace just now still had a panicked expression, so she knew the importance of this matter. Before that, as long as Yu Wenyuan did not give the ladies in his harem any power to manage the harem, and Shang Ruyi needed to rest and take care of her fetus, then the people and things in the palace would be in the hands of Han Shang Palace, and he would be able to do it for her. Know it and use it for her.
But now, it fell into the hands of that Eunuch Jade.
Until now, Yu Mingyue has not been able to chew off the bone of Eunuch Yu. Not only can she not chew it off, but she also understands that this bone cannot be chewed off.
Because the background of this Eunuch Jade is too complicated, he has been Yu Wenyuan’s confidant sent to the palace from the beginning. Although he has been devoted to Chu Yang and Queen Mother Jiang over the years, he has always been loyal to Yu Wenyuan; When the Jiangdu Palace incident was so dangerous, it was Yu Wenye who rescued him and escorted him all the way back to Daxing.
Everyone knows that this is a huge life-saving grace!
As an old man who has served Chu Yang for many years, Yu Mingli cannot not understand what kind of choices he needs to face now, and what he is doing now, even if it is not obvious, can be But the footsteps cannot be hidden from others.
He is leaning towards King Qin Yu Wenye!
In other words, even if the appointment and dismissal of personnel in the palace, as well as large and small affairs, have not completely fallen into the hands of Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi, at least they cannot hide it from their eyes.
It will be difficult for her to use such small means this time to shake the two people in Qianqiu Palace!
Thinking of this, Yu Mingyue couldn't help but grit her teeth.
Because she knew that if she couldn't use people and things that she wouldn't get involved with to plot against Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi like this time, she could only use some big changes and wars, such as In the previous battles of Fufeng and Taiyuan, she also found after several times that they were too difficult to control and could easily cause other problems; besides, now, there are not many steps away from the most critical "that thing". It's time.
Fortunately, there is another one in front of her!
Thinking about this, she cheered up again, glanced at her "father" with a cold look, and said calmly: "Father, there is no need to panic. I have already said that we still have a chance. .”
“……”
"This incident is just paving the way for the upcoming 'opportunity'."
"...!"
Hearing this, Yu Dingxing's brows furrowed again. .
Another "opportunity" is coming.
From the moment this daughter brought Sheng Guogong's eldest son to her and persuaded her to join Sheng Guogong, she has said something like this countless times. Although Yu Dingxing didn't believe in her, he had to believe in Yu Wenyuan, who had absolute strength in troubled times. Now he had truly established a country and proclaimed himself emperor, and had given himself a reward.
Now, if you don't believe her, what can you do?
Her name is Yu Mingyue, she is the eldest daughter of the Yu family who has recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan. The things she did, as well as the things she did with Yuwen Sui following her, have long ago offended King Qin thoroughly. Of course, at this time, he had no way to turn back. " ...!”
Yu Mingyue frowned.
After being silent for a long time, she suppressed the sudden and inexplicable uneasiness in her heart and said calmly: "How could that be?"
Yu Dingxing said with lingering anger: "Then what are you going to do?"
Yu Mingyue smiled faintly: "Wait."
"Wait? Still waiting?"
Yu Dingxing laughed angrily and said: "Do you think that this time, Han Yuhui's rights were weakened is the whole result? Today, the Ministry of War has issued an order to let Shentu Tai led his army eastward to attack Songzhou and Xuzhou!”
"..."
"Fan Chengen, the governor of Songzhou, is a scholar and has no capable generals around him. It is impossible for him to defend against Shentutai. When Songzhou and Xuzhou were defeated by Shentutai, he attacked Luoyang The heavy responsibility will definitely fall on King Qin, and by that time——"
A cold light flashed in Yu Mingyue's eyes.
But she was still confident and said lightly: "So what?"
"You——"
"What I want is for Shen Tutai to take Songzhou."
"...!"
This time, Yu Dingxing couldn't help showing a surprised look, and Yu Mingyue slowly He stood up and walked to the door of the lobby, looked at the sky outside, and said calmly: "Don't worry, there are still a few months to go, don't be impatient."
"..."
"Okay. The drama is behind us.”
|
After nearly half a month of preparation, on the second day of April, General Shen Tutai of the Sheng Dynasty led 80,000 troops and marched eastward.
With him on the expedition was King Yuwen Cheng of Qi.
Although it was only an attack on the two states of Song and Xu, it was not a large-scale operation, but the people in the court were not stupid. Everyone knew that taking the two states of Song and Xu would be crucial to the future capture of Luoyang, the eastern capital, and the advancement of the Dasheng Dynasty eastward. How important the strategy is, so many officials from the DPRK and China came to see him off.
After all, they are not stupid either.
Not only was His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi among those who sent troops this time, the Princess of Qin was happy and pregnant with the emperor's eldest grandson, and the emperor gave numerous rewards; but because of a "little thing" in the palace, Han Shang Palace, who was leaning towards His Highness the Crown Prince, was decentralized. After that , Pei Xingyuan, the head of the Household Department, was promoted to the position of Minister of the Household Department, and several generals under Yu Wenye were promoted. This greatly expanded the power of the King of Qin, and for a time he was in the limelight.
Everyone also gradually discovered that although the victory in the Battle of Taiyuan allowed Yu Wenzhen to take the position of crown prince, if the Dasheng Dynasty continued to advance eastward and expand its sphere of influence, it was still the King of Qin that it could rely on.
So this time, many people came to see Shen Tutai off.
In the past, even if Yu Wenye went on an expedition in person, Shang Ruyi would just send him to the door of the mansion and watch him go away, but this time, she followed Yu Wenye who was seeing off Shen Tutai all the way there. At the gate of the city, when the army set off, she climbed onto the city tower and watched the snake-like team under her feet marching forward in a mighty manner. The orderly steps made the city tower tremble slightly. She subconsciously reached out and held onto the hard and cold city wall stacks.
"Are you okay?"
A warm chest immediately pressed against her shoulder. Shang Ruyi looked back and saw that Yu Wenye came to her side and quietly took her hand. hand.
Shang Ruyi smiled, shook his head and said: "It's okay."
Yu Wenye said: "I said I won't let you come. The army is setting off, and the killing spirit is too strong, and you Pregnant."
Shang Ruyi blinked and looked at him and said, "But didn't you say before that the child will grow up to be a worm?"
"Huh?"
"Then I will let him see it early. Mothers are not afraid, how can he be afraid of this?"
Hearing this, Yu Wenye smiled immediately.
After the hawthorn cake incident, some news seemed to have leaked out. The princes and wives who visited the house every day to greet them less and less. In the past half month, Shang Ruyi finally calmed down and was able to She was resting, so her belly began to grow visibly.
Although she is not as pot-bellied as those pregnant women who are seven or eight months old, you can clearly see that her belly is slightly bulging.
You can even imagine how spectacular it will be in a few months.
Besides being proud and satisfied, Yu Wenye is also more cautious than before. In normal times, he would not shy away from letting Shang Ruyi interact more with his subordinates, especially those in the military. But now, Shang Ruyi was carefree, but he always had to worry about whether she was touched or blown by the wind.
The two people fell completely.
So he said: "Yes, you are not afraid, he is not afraid, I am afraid."
Shang Ruyi smiled so much that his eyes rolled up.
After laughing, she looked around again and said softly: "By the way, why didn't Mr. Pei come over today?"
They haven't seen each other for a while since they last met Pei Xingyuan at Pei's house. , for the people around Yu Wenye, apart from her brother, the one she is closest to is Pei Xingyuan, because this person is so optimistic and cute, he can make people laugh with just a few words, and people always like to be close to such a little sun-like person people.
Yu Wenye said: "He was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and he has a lot of things to do."
As he spoke, he sighed softly and said: "Whether it is the previous dynasty or this dynasty, not yet He is very proud of being a minister at such a young age, so I am afraid that he will make a careless mistake."
Shang Ruyi said softly, "Although Mr. Pei may seem to be careless, he is still reliable in his work."< br>
"..."
"His promotion to the position of Minister of Household Affairs is good for us."
Yu Wenye is right. For Pei Xingyuan, the official position of Minister of Hubu came a little too early. No matter it is In the previous dynasty, there was no one in his twenties who could serve as Minister of Household Affairs in the previous dynasty. He was indeed too prestigious. But Shang Ruyi understood that this was also because the emperor Yu Wenyuan came from a military background and knew too much about war and food. relation.
Nowadays, the prince and the king of Qin are divided into forces in the court. Except for the last time Yu Mingyue attacked him, nothing obvious has happened. But he must also prevent such a thing from happening. After all, all dynasties have done it. Throughout the ages, there have been too many generals who were brave and good at fighting. They could have been invincible, but they were defeated by internal fighting at the rear.
In a war, especially a battle like Shen Tutai's, who leaves the Guan and marches eastward, with a long front line, logistical supplies are very important.
Promoting Pei Xingyuan to the position of Minister of Household Affairs can effectively ensure the logistics of this war and prevent Shen Tutai's march from being disturbed by the rear. Then he only needs to concentrate on capturing the two states of Song and Xu.
Shang Ruyi covered his mouth and chuckled: "He must be proud of himself now."
Yu Wenye also laughed and said: "Fortunately, only the officialdom is proud. "
"Oh?"
Shang Ruyi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said: "What else?"
Yu Wenye glanced at her sideways, then looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to their conversation, then he leaned into her ear and whispered softly: "I heard that Su Qinglan was the host at Shenjuan Pavilion two days ago. He really After passing by, we ended up having another quarrel with that Liang Youying. If it hadn’t been for that Jiang Wei who stopped him , he was afraid that he wouldn’t even be able to handle this.”
“Huh?”
Shang Ruyi’s eyes lit up when he heard this.
"What are you lying to?"
"..."
"Moreover, the two of them have become such a quarrel, and they actually get together to quarrel every day."
Yu Wenye said, chuckled again, and said: "He is destined to be like this in his life. The woman was pressed and couldn't turn over."
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing, a faint, unspeakable sorrow surged in her heart - of course she knew that when Lei Yu's life had reached this point, she would no longer remember Pei Xingyuan, and Pei Xingyuan had long since After accepting all this, no matter how many worries and difficulties there were in the past, they are all gone.
Life is for living people. As long as you are still alive, you must keep moving forward to meet new people and new things. With new people and things, it is a new life. life.
So he said softly: "It's good for him to be like this."
Yu Wenye said: "Good, good, I'm just a little worried-"
At this point, his eyes A faint, vigilant light flashed through his eyes. Shang Ruyi was puzzled and asked softly: "Worry?" What? "
Yu Wenye glanced at her and wanted to say that he was worried about Liang Youying, but even he felt that this worry had no basis. It was probably just because Pei Xingyuan was too proud now, which made him think of something. As the saying goes - when water is full, it overflows; when the moon waxes, it loses.
Just thinking about it made him feel ridiculous. I am a person who doesn't believe in fate, so why am I thinking about those nagging things at this time?
It's better to worry about something real.
So he said: "I'm a little worried about Shen Wuzheng."
"...!"
Shang Ruyi's eyes dimmed slightly when he mentioned this.
Before the Battle of Taiyuan, Yu Wenye had asked the emperor to recommend Shen Wuzheng as the doctor of Bibu. However, because of the intervention of the Yu family, Shen Wuzheng was canonized as Weibei Road Marching Record Office to join the army. It is obvious that , this official position was prepared for the Battle of Taiyuan, and in fact, Yu Mingyue did take advantage of this opportunity to attack Shen Wuzheng in Changchun Palace, and Shang Ruyi almost broke with Yu Wenye because of this misunderstanding and was trapped in the Turks.
Now that the Battle of Taiyuan has ended, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Shen Wuzheng's knowledge and conduct make him a civil servant.
But until now, Yu Wenyuan has not received another official position.
If promoting Pei Xingyuan is to help Yu Wenye win military exploits and open up territory for the Dasheng Dynasty, then holding down Shen Wuzheng is to hold down Yu Wenye's corner, allowing them to move, but always Restricted.
It seems that Yu Wenyuan is also smart.
He wants to use this son, but he cannot let him be completely uncontrolled. Of course, for an emperor, even his own son cannot but be in his hands, not to mention Yu Wenye. people.
Just when Shang Ruyi was feeling a little sad, the soldiers around them suddenly seemed to have seen something. They all turned back, saluted respectfully, and said, "His Royal Highness."
"Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince. ”
The two people were shocked and immediately turned their heads.
A gust of fresh wind, carrying a gentle and peaceful breath that they were familiar with, rushed towards them. When they looked up, they saw Yuwen Sui wearing a white robe, climbing up the tower like a clear white cloud. , walked slowly in front of them.
He said: "Second brother, younger brother and sister."
Yu Wenye's eyes trembled slightly, but he immediately smiled and said: "It turns out that the emperor also came to see Shen Tutai off. There were too many people just now, so I didn't see the emperor. Please forgive me."
Yu Wenzhen shook his head lightly. Compared with the footsteps down the tower, which still shook the earth, his expression seemed very indifferent, as if no matter how big the thunder was, he could not be moved. But when he looked down at Shang Ruyi's slightly bulging belly, his calm eyes narrowed slightly.
After a long while, he said: "Brothers and sisters, how are you?"
Still merged and updated today.
It’s holiday time soon, so the update will be...you know.
Happy New Year everyone!
