Wanli Fenghou Road in the past

On the morning of the second day, Zheng Che'an involuntarily glanced at the place where Tang Yu was standing. Tang Yu was standing in the queue. His dark purple official uniform was not at all tacky, but a little more luxurious.

Tang Yu seemed to feel Zheng Che'an's gaze, he raised his head slightly, looked into the eyes of the emperor and smiled gently.

There was a lot of quarreling in the main hall because of Nan Shao's matter, while those advocating the continuation of the marriage, and at the same time advocating war.

Those who started the war said they were cowardly, and those who started the war said they were disregarding the overall situation...

Zheng Che slammed the memorial onto the dragon case, and the courtiers blushed and shut their mouths.

"Tang Shangshu, what do you think?" Zheng Che'an asked.

Who is Tang Shangshu calling?Everyone present naturally knew it well. After all, apart from Tang Wei, other officials surnamed Tang were still suffering in the dungeon!

Tang Yu didn't expect Zheng Che'an to call him suddenly, a look of astonishment flashed across his face, and he hurriedly went out to salute: "Return to Your Majesty, I agree to go to the expedition."

A faint smile appeared on Zheng Che'an's face. Sure enough, Tang Yu's thoughts were always the same as his own, and his tone softened a lot: "Why?"

Tang Wei seldom speaks in the court hall. He never met him when he was a Zhonglang in the Ministry of Officials. Few people have appreciated Tang Wei's wonderful rebuttals. The impression of him is just a "child prodigy", "Your Majesty's companion to read" ", oh, now there is one more "Your Majesty Wei Tong"...so they all wanted to see how Tang Wei answered His Majesty's question, and to their surprise, Tang Wei said only five words.

"For the safety of the people."

Zheng Che'an nodded secretly in his heart, as expected of Tang Wei, there is only this one person in this world who can think exactly like himself, yes!If Nan Shao can be subdued, it can be said to solve the hidden dangers of Daliang for many years and make the people Changan!

"Tang Shangshu said so lightly." The people from the Ministry of War came out and said: "But now my main beam is in a state of cultivation, and our military and material resources are at their peak. At this time, it is difficult to predict the outcome of the battle, and my main beam is even more vitally injured. , the gain outweighs the loss."

"This war, when can you fight it when you want?" Tang Wei said: "As far as I know, the border of Nanshao has been harassed by the outside world in the past two years, and the flames of war have not been broken for a long time. It is not because of strong strength. , I, Da Liang, has a vast land and rich resources, but marrying a princess and making peace with little Nan Shao, wouldn't it make the world laugh at me?"

"This statement is wrong," some old ministers said, "Now our treasury is insufficient in Daliang, and the war is exhausting the people and money. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty! I would like to request an order to lead the army to attack Nanshao!"

Zheng Che'an's eyes lit up, and it was Old General Chu, his uncle, who came out to ask for an order.Back then, the Tang family was dominant, and they suppressed the Chu family openly and secretly. Although they were protected by the late emperor, they were unavoidably depressed. Now is the time to show their demeanor.

"Okay!" Zheng Chean said: "General Chu is so heroic, he is the pillar of the country!"

"Your Majesty, I would also like to ask for an order." The person who came out was Xu Yijun, who is now the commander of the imperial army, and he is more silent than before.

As expected of the person chosen by my father!Zheng Che'an narrowed his eyes: "From now on, General Chu will be promoted to be the commander-in-chief, Commander Xu will be the deputy general, and we will lead [-] troops to attack Nanshao. We will set off in three days!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!" the courtiers below shouted unwillingly.

"Marriage? That's not bad," Zheng Che'an said with a sneer, "but it's a pity that the late emperor didn't have many children, and the only Princess Yuexi has already married. However, there are many daughters in the families of the lovers. Let's choose an auspicious day." !"

"Your Majesty! The little girl in the family has little knowledge, so she dare not accept Long's kindness!"

"My daughter's appearance is ugly, and she loses the majesty of my leader..."

"My daughter is stubborn, it's really..."

"That's enough!" Zheng Chean flicked his sleeves: "Since that's the case, it's better to fight the war first before all the lovers discuss who the young lady is going to marry."

"..." Everyone was silent.

"Your Majesty, Master Tang is asking to see you."

Zheng Che'an was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that Tang Yu would come to him on the first day of court: "Please come in."

"Your Majesty." Tang Yu saluted.

Zheng Chean put down the memorial in his hand, stepped forward to support him and said, "Is there something wrong?"

Tang Wei stood up straight, and stood aside with lowered eyebrows: "Your Majesty, I... think that what Qian Shilang said yesterday is somewhat reasonable. After all, I am still young and have no achievements. I am really ashamed of being a minister... I hope that Your Majesty...but take it back and invite Qian Shilang to return to Beijing to take up his post."

"Tang Yu!" Zheng Che'an looked at the person in front of him in disbelief: "Do you know what he said about you? Now you still condescend to come to him to intercede?"

"Your Majesty..." Tang Yu's tone was a little weaker, with a hint of pleading.

"I don't agree." Zheng Che said.

Zheng Che'an seldom denied Tang Yu's opinions, and almost always agreed to his request, but this time, Zheng Che'an refused without hesitation: "I am not as good-tempered as you, so you don't have to take those words to heart, but I will let you They will pay back a hundred times, and spare his life is my biggest bottom line."

Tang Yu lowered his head: "Your Majesty... You must put the country first. These are trivial matters, why should you care?"

Every word Tang Yu said was like a sharp knife, piercing Zheng Che'an's heart one by one. Zheng Che'an's heart ached for a while. He would never forgive what he did to Tang Yu in his life. Try to repay it, even if Tang Yu asks him for supreme power, rich fiefdom or hereditary title, as long as he can give it, he will definitely give it with both hands.

But Tang Wei didn't want anything, he didn't even ask for a little more favor than ordinary people, he just stood quietly in front of Zheng Che'an, talking about serious court affairs.

How can there be such a good person in the world?Zheng Che'an always asked himself, when such a person appeared in front of him, he didn't know how to cherish it...

"Tang Yu," Zheng Che'an said in a more serious tone: "Listen well, I have figured out many things these days. In my heart, you are a unique and irreplaceable existence, even surpassing these countries. I say you Okay, you are the justifiable Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, do you understand?"

Tang Yu stood there in a daze, with disbelief written all over his delicate cheeks.

Zheng Che'an patted Tang Yu's shoulder lightly: "I'm just sensitive to your affairs, I don't want others to bully you, it's okay, I will protect you, just like before..."

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Xu shouted from outside the hall, "Jiangzhou eight hundred miles hastened to play, do you want to watch it?"

Zheng Che'an couldn't help but frowned: "What's the matter?"

Eunuch Xu walked in with the memorial, and offered: "Please take a look, Your Majesty."

Zheng Che'an just took a few sloppy glances, and couldn't help but change his expression.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Tang Yu asked.

"Jiangzhou broke the embankment," Zheng Che'an handed the memorial to Tang Yu: "What happened in the middle of the night killed and injured hundreds of people."

Tang Yu looked at the memorial and couldn't help but frowned and said, "This is an important moment, Your Majesty should ask all the ministers to discuss it."

"No need," Zheng Che raised his head abruptly, "I've already thought about who will oversee the repair of the embankment."

Tang Yu thought for a while: "I don't know who your Majesty will choose, but the eldest son of General Chu, Chu Yao?"

"Exactly." Zheng Che'an nodded. He has always been interested in revitalizing the Chu family, which can be regarded as comforting his mother's spirit in heaven.

"This man is not bad," Tang Wei agreed, "Old General Chu is good at teaching his sons. Chu Yao is already well-known in the capital at a young age, and he will become a great weapon in the future."

Zheng Che'an called Mr. Xu and asked him to go to the Chu family to proclaim the decree.

After that meeting, Tang Yu seemed to have changed back to his original appearance, not saying a word in the court.

The memorials of Jiangzhou and Nanshao were passed down to the capital like snowflakes. The courtiers pointed and talked about the war, but none of them asked for orders.

The bureaucracy has been complaining about poverty, tax increases are changing every day, the war in Nanshao is tense, Zheng Che'an is out of breath under the pressure of Chengshan's report.

In the blink of an eye, winter entered, and the capital ushered in the first snow in the Huaiqing Dynasty.

"Ah!" Tang Wei curled up under the quilt and frowned, his eyelids were as heavy as gold, and his head was dizzy.

"My lord...you should rest!" Liu Cui said worriedly: "I've been sneezing for several days now, and the wind and cold are also sick, so be careful."

Tang Wei wanted to sit up, but he didn't have any strength in his body, so he finally had to give up: "Go to the morning to ask for leave!" After speaking, he fell asleep drowsily.

"Tang Yu is sick?" Zheng Chean frowned while sitting in the study: "What happened? Did you call for a doctor?"

"Please," Liu Cui quickly replied, "Your Excellency is very good, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Zheng Che'an nodded, then put down the memorial in his hand and stood up irritably. Tang Yu is a person with strong endurance. If it is not really seriously ill, it is impossible not to come to court. Zheng Che'an is still not at ease: "I will go have a look."

"Your Majesty!" Han Yunqing broke in and said, "Nan Shao's urgent report! It's urgent, please take a look at it!"

Liu Cui left quietly knowingly, but Zheng Chean couldn't help but stepped forward to accept the memorial, his expression changed involuntarily.

Tang Wei was still groggy when he got up, his legs were a little weak, and he got out of bed and poured himself a glass of water.

"My lord!" Liu Cui came in with thick clothes and put them on Tang Yu: "Be careful of catching cold."

Tang Yu looked at the snow marks on Liu Cui's shoulder and smiled: "Did you just go out?"

Liu Cui's face darkened: "My lord, it was the eunuch from the palace who came here, and the empress sent you into the palace."

"Empress Empress?" Tang Yu was taken aback. Zheng Che'an ascended to the throne very hastily, and even Mi Qingwan was very hasty in conferring empress. , There are no other concubines.

"What did she tell me to do?" Tang Wei didn't quite understand.

"I don't know, my servant," Liu Cui said, "The one who came to deliver the message was the mother-in-law's father-in-law, who seemed to be very anxious. The servant invited him away just now, but the father-in-law left a sign to enter the palace, hoping that the lord can enter the palace."

Tang Wei didn't have much contact with Mi Qingwan, so he couldn't think of her purpose for a while: "Let's take it easy! It's getting late now, after all, it's a harem, and men and women can't get along."

"My lord..." Liu Cui opened her mouth suddenly: "You have been asleep for two days..."

"Really?" Tang Wei was taken aback: "So?"

"The empress's servants run over almost every half an hour. They seem to be really anxious, as if... it has something to do with Your Majesty."

Tang Yu thought for a while, then nodded slowly: "Then let's enter the palace!"

Mi Qingwan was nearly seven months pregnant, and her body was a bit heavy, so she sat on a chair and didn't want to stand up: "Master Tang, please sit down."

Tang Yu bowed to Mi Qingwan: "The empress is auspicious, I don't know what the minister is talking about when he enters the palace?"

Mi Qingwan took a sip of tea in silence, and then sighed after a while: "Master Tang, Your Majesty needs you."

Tang Yu was taken aback: "What did you say?"

"General Chu died on the battlefield." Mi Qingwan frowned, "Your Majesty is very sad. I have locked myself in the study for two days without seeing anyone. There is really nothing I can do about it, so I summoned you, my lord, to see him." Look at Your Majesty!"

"What?!" Tang Yu was startled, he didn't expect that General Chu would die in battle, his heart tightened: "Is your majesty not seeing anyone? That minister..."

"You are different," Mi Qingwan smiled helplessly: "Maybe you don't realize it yourself, but I can tell that His Majesty treats you differently. At this time, he can only listen to your words." advise."

"My lady..."

"Go!" Mi Qingwan smiled at Tang Wei: "In His Majesty's heart, no one surpasses your position..."
