[Red House] But for the sake of the king

In mid-October, the army set out.In addition to several generals, other officials such as Lin Ruhai, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, and Commander of the Royal Guards rushed to the northwest with Yujia.

Lin Ruhai dared to tell Tang about this before leaving, and she was nagged for a long time.

The Tang family didn't stop him from serving the imperial court, but he was worried about his son, "You said you too, fulfill your duties, and it's over if you do your job well. Why go to the northwest? Although our family's ancestors also did it because of merit Fenghou, but now it is not as good as before. You don't even have a little boxing skills, so why bother. Your father will be satisfied if you know what you are today. I also know, why do you have to work hard to earn these things. Swords and guns have no eyes on the battlefield, if something happens, what will you tell us girls to do."

Lin Ruhai didn't expect his mother to think that he was trying to earn fame, but the real reason couldn't be explained.Although the decision this time was a bit hasty, he should do something for himself when he lives again.Yin said, "Mother is worrying too much. It is really the emperor's personal conquest, and political affairs can't be delayed, so the son accompanied him. Lin Sheng takes care of the front of the house, and I have to trouble my mother for the backyard. The eldest cousin will also take care of it this time." I will go out with you, so my son has already been entrusted to Prince Beijing, if mother has anything to do, it is the same to find someone to go to Beiwang's house."

Tang tucked away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I also know that now that the imperial decree has been issued, it's useless to talk too much. You don't have to worry about the trivial matters at home. It's just our wives, what else can happen. Besides, my old Although the sisters don’t move around very much, they are better than others. If someone dares to bully the Lin family, they really don’t want to live. But it’s Yu’er, you go and make it clear. You were too busy a few days ago She is anxious to find her father, and she will not be able to come back until next year at the latest, but she should be sad."

Lin Ruhai was a little ashamed. Jun Qi asked Jun Qi to discuss the matter of arranging the departure of the army and the deployment to the northwest for a long time, until late at night.It is a great kindness for Jun Qi to take advantage of the situation and let them stay in the palace.He wanted to decline, but the other adults kowtowed to thank him with a look of trepidation, and he couldn't stand alone.But now Daiyu's closeness to him is unmatched in previous lives, "But Yu'er has troubled you again, so I'll go and talk about her now. It's just that the return date is really hard to say. It will take more than a month for the army to go to the northwest , Even if you come back with light clothes, it will take a month, and you will definitely not be able to pass the Chinese New Year. If it is convenient, my son will send a few letters from home, and if there is no mother, don't worry."

Tang was already a little choked up, "Understood, it's better if you didn't report the letter, because nothing happened before. Yu'er was also spoiled by you, and I can't surrender. She is also sensible, so you just tell her, don't so amazing."

Lin Ruhai was afraid that she would really bring out her mother's tears, so she hurriedly said, "It can be seen that my mother really loves her granddaughter, and she does not spoil her all the same. Son, go and see Yu'er right now, so mother can rest well."

Seeing him go out, Tang shi burst into tears.Speaking of which, apart from traveling to the south of the Yangtze River, her son really hasn't been away from home for such a long time.The mother is worried about her son traveling thousands of miles, and she is also worried about her son who has passed his thirties.Because I also ordered people to find two children who can fist and kick to follow Lin Ruhai to the northwest, at least take care of them, and pack my luggage myself, so I feel relieved.

Daiyu is easy to talk here, she nods whatever Lin Ruhai says, she is so obedient, not at all like the cute and pretty one who was crying and calling for her father a few days ago.Jia Min was stunned for a long time after hearing the news, and carefully looked at Lin Ruhai from head to toe, as if he wanted to impress him deeply in his heart.

The army marched slowly, and the four-horse carriage covered by bright yellow curtains was extremely conspicuous in the large army.In order to save time, Jun Qi deliberately chose the most spacious frame in the emperor's ceremonial guard, and everything for daily life is inside.The memorials in the capital and the front-line newspapers would be sent by special personnel every day, and he would review them in the car every day.If there is something to discuss with the people below, they will ask people to come up. Anyway, the inside is very spacious, and it is more than enough for a few more people to sit.Among the entourage, Dai Quan, who is in charge of the palace, mostly works outside the car even though he is a close attendant. The one who is most often inside every day is Lin Ruhai, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Anyone with a little discernment knows that this Lord Lin is the emperor's favorite minister, and the emperor is obviously afraid that this gentleman who was born as a civil servant will not be used to the sudden bumps.I only feel sorry for the Minister of the Ministry of War and other civil servants. They have never ridden a horse for such a long time before, and their legs have long been worn out and scarred.It's just that they didn't know that Lin Ruhai in the frame was devoting himself to making suggestions for His Majesty the Emperor.

Jun Qi put down the things in his hands and pinched the bridge of his nose.No matter how stable the frame is, there are still some bumps. If you are sitting normally, it will be fine, and you will feel dizzy when you read the words. "It's strange that Yeluqi looks so weird, and his biological mother is the princess of Loulan Kingdom."

Lin Ruhai poured a cup of tea for him and handed it over, "The Loulan Kingdom is to the west of Tatar, and the land in the country is more barren, most of which are desert. It’s a little bit worse. This Yeluqi didn’t want to go to Loulan, why did he come here?”

Jun Qi took a sip of tea, after all, the outside was no match for the palace, if there is no good sweet spring water to make tea, even the best tea will taste bad.Fortunately, the tea pourer has changed, and the sweetness in his mouth is actually in his heart when he drinks it. "This princess married Tatar 20 years ago. Originally, the two countries married to seek peace. It should be a good thing. Moreover, this princess is known as the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions. She is deeply favored by the Tatar king. She gave birth to It is a pity that he died suddenly within two years, and he was still murdered. Therefore, Loulan and the Tatars were torn apart, and there was no further contact. Loulan has nothing to do with my direction, but it seems that there is a I sent envoys here in [-], and I think this is what they came for.”

"I see." Lin Ruhai was probably still studying at the Imperial Academy at that time, and these things were naturally not very clear. "It's just that Yeluqi has the blood of the Loulan royal family. The current king of the Loulan kingdom should be his uncle? I don't know if he will take advantage of this." Opportunity, to avenge his sister."

Jun Qi smiled and said, "It's not that simple. Although the current king of Loulan Kingdom is Yeluqi's uncle, he is not much older than him. He is the old man of the previous king. He must not even know what Yeluqi's mother looks like." I don’t even remember, how can I avenge her. The cause of the princess’ death is a mystery, and many rumors are related to Yeluding. I think this is also the reason why Yeluqi hated her so much. No wonder things went so smoothly before. , he probably wanted to get rid of Yelvding a long time ago."

Lin Ruhai froze for a moment, was it revenge for killing his mother?It's just that the death of a princess led to a fight, and it's inevitable to sigh that since ancient times, there have been many disasters for beautiful women.

But Jun Qi smiled and said, "A beauty is just an excuse for the world, and if you don't want to be like the sea, it's a cliché. If you cultivate your morality and self-denial, and distinguish right from wrong, how can others easily lead you into trouble. Those people are self-indulgent, addicted to it, and in the end they will Isn’t it ridiculous to blame women for the crime? It’s also said that those who are close to the vermilion are red and those who are close to the ink are black, if the vermilion and the ink get along, what should they do? It depends on each other’s determination.”

Lin Ruhai suddenly realized that he had spoken his mind just now.However, Jun Qi's explanation is also fresh and interesting, and it makes sense after careful consideration. "Speak well, be taught, be taught."

Jun Qi was in a good mood, and even when he was watching the frontline battle report, he didn't frown as he did a few days ago. After all, it was the expected result, "This Yeluding is worthy of being a fierce general. The first line of defense has been broken. Shen Hanzhang It means that if the reinforcements arrive late, his [-] troops may not be able to hold out for long."

Lin Ruhai counted the days, "The [-] elite soldiers will arrive in three to five days, and we should solve the urgent need. The speed of soldiers is precious, but the speed of the army is indeed too slow, I'm afraid it will delay the military opportunity."

Jun Qi said, "I'm also worried. It's better to let Tang Yan lead another 3 horses first, and speed up the rest. Speaking of which, Tang Yan is still your cousin, right?"

"Exactly, it's the eldest cousin of my uncle's family."

Jun Qi was still about to say something, when Dai Quan's voice came from outside, "Report to the emperor, Prince Qi begs to see you."

"Biography." Jun Qi said angrily, he just finished talking about the serious business here, and after finally being able to talk to Ru Hai for a while, this kid came again.He originally thought that Yeluqi should have some sense of what to do, but now it seems that he is really in a daze, a man in his twenties who is in a foreign country dares to show face in front of him.It's just that Yeluqi is still useful now, so he can't be dealt with lightly, or else he would have been thrown out long ago.

As soon as Yeluqi came in, he complained, "Your Majesty, the carriage is too bumpy, and it's not comfortable to sit on. When will we get to Ural? It's so slow, Yeluqi is going to beat that bastard in." "

Even Lin Ruhai, who had heard him complain every day these days, was sweating for him again at this moment, how dare he say such a thing in front of the emperor, it really is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

Jun Qi has been able to automatically filter those words since the first time he was furious, at worst he will be regarded as his sons, childish words are innocent, and he doesn't have to be angry to ruin his body. "If you don't like carriages, go ride yourself. You are the great prince of Tatar, you can't even ride a horse, and you are not afraid of laughing at others' big teeth."

Yeluqi was angry, it's not that he can't, it's just that he was too tired from riding a horse, and his thighs would definitely hurt after a whole day.It's true that he is a Tatar, but because of his appearance, he followed his mother, so his father loved him since he was a child, and everything followed his temperament.Others didn't dare to say anything, so he only had a superficial understanding of the necessary homework for Tatars, such as horse riding and martial arts.Therefore, when facing Yeluding, he was powerless to parry, so that he ended up fleeing to a foreign country and asking for help from the Celestial Dynasty.

Jun Qi couldn't see his wronged little daughter-in-law, so he was about to chase her away, "If there is nothing important, you can go back to your carriage. I have something important to discuss with Mr. Lin."

Yeluqi bit his lower lip, endured it, and asked, "How's the situation on the front line?"

Jun Qi picked up what he could say, and finally asked him, "Why do you hate Yeluding so much?"

"He, he wants to usurp power, so I naturally hate him." After leaving this sentence, Yeluqi immediately ran out.The entanglement between him and Yelvding is too deep, it can't be finished in one or two sentences.

Jun Qi didn't care about him, and called the Minister of the Ministry of War up again, discussed for a while, and then passed on the order.Tang Yan took the order to go one step ahead, and Jun Qi also abandoned the carriage and rode instead, eating and sleeping like the soldiers.In this way, the army reached the Urals in mid-November.

The Urals in November are always covered in silver, and people can't walk outside when the wind and snow are heavy.But the past few days have been strange. It has been sunny for ten days in a row, and just as the army arrives, many people use this to talk about auspiciousness from the sky. It sounds like that.

Jun Qi didn't pay any attention, he didn't believe these things, but Ye Lvding didn't take advantage of the situation to fight again, and suddenly stopped his actions, making people feel unpredictable and even more weird.It stands to reason that when the morale of the enemy army is high, they will definitely go all out, but Yeluding did the opposite, stationed in the first captured city, and stood still.

Lin Ruhai was also very puzzled. In his previous life, this prince was unstoppable, bold, and even more decisive on the battlefield.Moreover, it took only half a month to send troops ahead to capture Dahan City, so why does he seem to be a different person now.

"Your Majesty, General Shen is here."

"Quickly pass!" Jun Qi hadn't lay down for two days in a row, and had been studying the battle situation on the front line.He was in the city of Ural, but the front line was two hundred miles away. Taking advantage of the truce between the two armies, he quickly ordered Shen Hanzhang to come to meet the saint in person, which was better than writing a memorial.But he didn't expect Shen Hanzhang to come so fast.

Shen Hanzhang was dressed in military uniform, and made a military salute, "My minister kowtowed to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live my emperor. Yeluding sent a letter the day before yesterday, and my minister came here to deliver it."

Dai Quan, who was on the side, had already taken it and sent it to Jun Qi. He took it apart in twos and looked at it, "General Shen, please get up."

What was said in the letter was nothing more than the same as before, let Yeluqi be handed over.Jun Qi always thought that this was just an excuse for Yelvding, but now it seems that it is not so simple.Yin asked again, "When did Yelu decide to rest, do you know the reason?"

Shen Hanzhang replied, "Ten days ago, after Yeluding captured Dahan City, he did not mobilize troops again. The reason for this is not very clear, probably because they heard that Shengjia had arrived, so they did not dare to go forward." He said this himself I'm afraid I don't believe it either, but I can't find any reason.Compared with others, Shen Hanzhang, who has been stationed in the northwest for more than ten years, knows Yeluding very well, so he is convinced that there must be something strange in it.

Tapping the table with his index finger, Jun Qi fell into deep thought again.

"Command, I will go to the front line tomorrow, and the war will start in ten days, and Dahan City will definitely be taken back!"
