Dream Hua Embers Records

"Actually... when I first got home, I had a lot to say to my father, but my father didn't give me a chance to speak. Now I have almost forgotten what I wanted to say, and you insisted on forcing me to say it." Yan Yin lowered her head, fiddled with her fingers, and murmured.

"It's Daddy's fault, Daddy apologizes to you... If you don't want to say it, then don't say it, Daddy doesn't force you, but Daddy really wants to know if you are doing well in Zhongdu and what happened to you? "

"That matter...it's a long story." Yan Yin sighed softly.

"Then speak slowly."

"Father, do you still remember Pearl?"

Yan Qihao frowned, thinking why did she mention her again, he didn't want to talk about it, because he was afraid that Yin'er would remind him of that heavy responsibility, and he was afraid that Yin'er still had feelings for her.But finally Yin'er had a gentle attitude towards her, but she couldn't avoid answering, so she could only say, "Remember, it's the one who ran away with Kang Mao."

"Did she get caught later?"

Yan Yin's tone was very flat, it didn't seem like she still had feelings for Zhu'er, Yan Qihao was relieved a little, and continued, "Yes, only two of those people got away in the end, one was Kang Mao, the other is a court lady with a low status." These things were deliberately kept from Yan Yin before, fearing that Yan Yin would cause some trouble if she found out.

But at this time, Yan Yin's face was calm, and she still asked lightly, "What happened later? What is her current whereabouts?"

"She was later assigned to King Gaitian's camp as a prostitute, but she escaped on the way, and her whereabouts are unknown now."

Yan Yin nodded after hearing this, and sighed sadly, "She is really a strange woman."

Yan Qihao was relieved when he heard Yan Yin's evaluation of Zhu'er, "Yeah, I thought she was hiding her age at first, so I went to check the documents of Daliang Mansion and found that she was only seven years old. This girl's behavior is really unexpected, Even many adults are not as good as her. When you were young, you were very dignified and dignified, like a little adult, but compared to her, you are still far inferior. Her determination and bravery are not comparable to many adult men .”

"Yes..." Yan Yin also sighed.

Yan Qihao suddenly felt that this feeling was very good. Yin'er had grown up and reached the age where father and son could sit side by side and talk about women.

Yan Qihao smiled, still reluctant to give up and continued to ask, "Your long story has something to do with her?"

"No." Yan Yin shook her head, "I made a mistake, but it has something to do with the emperor punishing me to go to the laundry."

"What?!" Yan Qihao stared, "The emperor punished you to go to the laundry yard? What did he think of you? You are my own son, his own nephew, not the concubines and concubines in his harem!"

Seeing that Yan Qihao's face was flushed with anxiety, Yan Yin hurriedly explained, "I made a mistake."

Yan Qihao was in a hurry, "Even if you make a mistake, you will be punished like a man. How can you go to the place where you are punished by the family members of the harem?"

Yan Yin said with a smile, "The emperor is reluctant to stick me, he knows that my body can't bear it."

Hearing this, Yan Qihao thought that Yan Yin had suffered a lifetime of illness because of his slap with the stick, and immediately became discouraged, but he was still aggrieved, "Why didn't I know about this? I'll see you next time. You have to talk about it carefully, I have led his son to fight, but I have never humiliated his son like this!"

Yan Yin smiled, "Not many people know about this matter, so naturally my father's spies can't find out."

After hearing this, Yan Qihao calmed down a little, if no one knew about it, it would be fine if it didn't damage Yan Yin's reputation and face.

"Actually, it's okay even if someone knows. I don't think it's humiliating to be sent to the laundry yard. It's better than being punished with a cane in public."

Yan Qihao sneaked a guilty look at Yan Yin's face, and saw that he was flickering his eyelashes, calmly, as if he wasn't talking about the stick blame, but just talking in general, so he calmed down a little, and comforted him, "Our Dayuan custom is like this, and everyone doesn't mind these things. Dad was naughty when he was a child, and he was often severely punished by the emperor. Even the current emperor often beats dad. It’s not even an insult.”

"If you close the door, you can do whatever you want, but I just can't stand being in front of everyone...Maybe everyone thinks differently..." Yan Yin sighed.

Yan Qihao felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, but Yan Yin had already started talking.

In the 21st year of Dachang, that is, the early winter of the year when the troops were launched and the willows were shot.

In just half a year, Yan Qihao led the troops to recover the large area of ​​​​the lost ground in Hedong and Hebei. Once again, Chen Bing was on the north bank of the Yellow River.But this time, instead of rushing straight in like last time, it is no longer a surprise attack, but a steady and steady fight. Every time a city goes down, the people will be put in order, the local government will be appeased, and a plan for long-term stability will be made.In this way, the grain roads are smooth and the supplies are convenient, so the army will have no worries about going south.Everything is ready, the only thing we need is the east wind. Once the weather turns cold and the Yellow River freezes, we can march south on ice.

In this situation, Zhao Emperor Kang Mao sent envoys to seek peace.

"...The minister is sincere and fearful, and he bows his head. Zigaifu Yubo Dayuan Emperor Qiankun has great virtues, and the sun and moon shine selflessly. The power of not being angry is traced to Tang and Wu; the virtue of good life is also Li The beauty is in Tang Yu. Forget about the sin of one husband, and the fate of all people. The universe will be suppressed, and the clan will be safe. The script is the same, and the benefit of preservation will be entrusted forever; the sky is in sight, and the sincerity of yearning is deep. There is no expectation Tianwangsheng is very eager to screen camp. I would like to express my gratitude to hear about it."

The letter of credence for peace was written in humble words, and a high amount of old coins was promised, but there was no mention of those captured brothers and relatives.

Yan Qihao held the letter of credence and threw everything at the case, "This person is so heartless and indifferent! Brothers, sisters, concubines, and uncles are all in the extreme north, but he refuses to redeem them with gold and silk. Such people, you can’t believe what they say! It’s clearly pretending to talk about peace, hoping to delay the cold winter, and when the spring is warm, they will break the contract and raise troops.”

Old Eight Lu Wang Yan Qixin also sighed, "I heard that Concubine Kang Mao has many concubines, but she still has nothing to do. Like this, she refuses to redeem her younger brother. After a hundred years, who will the throne be passed on to?"

Yan Qihao shook his head, "He probably thinks that he is still young, so he won't have a successor. If he sends his younger brother back, he might be worried that the throne will not be secure."

"His sister, who is the same father and mother, has just been promoted by the emperor as his beloved because she is pregnant. There is also a younger sister who is still in the laundry yard, and he has the heart to ignore it?"

"Southern Zhao pays attention to the fact that being out of morals is a big deal, and starving to death is a minor thing. If this woman loses her morals, she is not considered a human being."

"It's strange. Han Qingtong was originally a Han. He served as a military governor in the Bohai Kingdom and demoted us. Later, he turned against him and voted for Southern Zhao. He was honored by Southern Zhao as a guest of honor! Isn't it true that these three-surname domestic slaves are out of morals?"

"Then Han Qingtong is brave and good at fighting, and he knows our country's military well. It is useful to them. Naturally, he must reuse it. Women and girls are useless. If you find a reason, you can let go of it with peace of mind."

The two of them taunted Nanzhao, they were partners and talked happily, but when it came to the issue of peace or war, they had different ideas.
