I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 381 Homecoming

Soon after Wu Yaoshi returned to Liaodong, Yan Wang Wu Renguang, who was "seriously ill" and unable to take care of things, miraculously recovered, and began to take care of military and political affairs with a rosy face.

The court in Shangjing naturally knew that Wu Renguang was pretending to be ill earlier.

After the Emperor Daojun knew about it, he just said quietly: "Old fox, you really are a ghost."

But there was no sign of anger.

The imperial court had to let Pharmacist Wu go back anyway, the difference was only sooner or later.

As for whether Yan Fan will rebel or not, even Wu Renguang, the king of Yan, cannot decide with one word.

Not to mention Wu Yaoshi, whose prestige is far inferior to that of his father.

However, several eunuchs promoted by the Imperial City Division were all punished and fined for one year.

After all, they were in charge of the monitoring of Liaodong. If the information was wrong, they would naturally be responsible. If they weren't cut off, it would be the master's benevolence.

In addition, there are military reports from both Hexi and Longyou.

The Liuhouyuan in Hexi is responsible for monitoring the battle reports between the Golden Horde Khanate and the Thirteen Tribes of Duannu. Forged slave coalition.

The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Timur, led the remnants of the defeated generals and fled far away to the Western Regions.

As for the red lotus remnants who fled to Longyou before, they also received a lot of support from the Qingtang people in the past few years. With the efforts of Pang Zhigu and Fang Jiao, they barely took root in the land of Hehuang.

And there were attacks with the Longyou army, each winning or losing.

Qingtang, who was beaten and maimed by Fu Jinchuan, has calmed down in the past few years. Even the old military god Lun Zanpo personally served as the commander of the north, and has always maintained great restraint. In addition to providing some military funds for the remnants of Honglian It has been a long time since many invaded Jintu.

After all, a maharaja died just a few years ago, and many young men were lost in various ministries. Of course, it takes time to lick the wounds.

And whether the beast that has been raised and injured will continue to think about cannibalism is not a question that needs to be considered.

On the contrary, the Qianghu tribe, who had always been submissive before, has been active recently. Many caravans were looted last year and the first half of the year.

They used to be Hu merchants, but recently even Jin caravans have been looted.

Emperor Daojun was very disappointed with the inaction of Longyou Jiefu.

Longyou Jiedu envoy Zhang Renyuan was originally transferred from Hexi Jiedu's deputy envoy. He had no foundation in Longyou, and his old benefactor passed away.

Therefore, he had nothing to do with Liu Xingzong, the deputy envoy of Longyou Jiedu.

After all, Liu Xingzong had been in Longyou for more than ten years and had great prestige in Longyou. He originally thought that after the former Jiedu envoy He Ba Guangsi left office, he would remove the adverbs as a matter of course.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Renyuan came again, so he stumbled overtly and secretly.

Therefore, Zhang Renyuan has been hindered by someone in Longyou for the past few years, so it is naturally difficult for him to do anything.

As a result, the Qiang and Hu barbarians in Longyou became very angry.

He dared to show his teeth to Da Jin.

"Longyou is the arm of the west wing of my Great Jin Dynasty. If Longyou is in danger, Guanzhong will be restless. If Guanzhong is not peaceful, the country will not be solid. Moreover, those Qiang and Hu are shameless and have little literature. They are afraid of power but not virtuous. I thought it was time for the Longxi Jiefu to ask for it."

These words did not come from the mouth of any general Xungui, but from Niu Daoqian, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

In the side hall where the matter was being discussed, Niu Daoqian made an impassioned speech, advocating that the Longyou Army should change colors for those Qianghu tribes who were not very obedient.

This remark can be said to be very right to the idea of ​​​​Emperor Daojun.

Ever since, Longyou's coaching change was put on the agenda.

As for the nobles of the generals in the capital, it is very rare that they are not enthusiastic about the discussion of changing the commander in Longyou, because what they are most concerned about now is not the benefits brought to them by the commander in chief.

But the imperial court wants to reform the military system.

This is a major event related to the survival of the entire martial arts general, so they can't help but pay attention to it.

Since Wu Fan's rebellion, the court has fought intermittently for nearly ten years.

Among them, the performance of the forbidden army has made the princes and princes in the capital feel ashamed to oppose the reform of the military system.

After all, the Emperor Daojun was not made of mud.

Moreover, many military commanders supported the reform of the military system, such as British Duke Fu Maoxiu, Fu Guogong Yang Jixun, Anyuan Hou Qiuming, Pingbei Hou Ma Wei, Wuyang Hou Yu Luohu, Wuding Hou Guo Chongjian, etc.

These nobles still hold real power, and even got some hints from His Majesty.

That is, this time the military system is not to take away their power.

Therefore, in the face of these undercurrents, it seems that it is not a big deal for the son of Yan Fan to go back.

Can it still turn the sky upside down?

And Qi Wang Zhao Yuanzhang also led the army back to Beijing when autumn came.

Without the glory of the emperor's personal welcome, General Zhao Yuanzhang entered the city directly after completing the settlement according to the decree, and handed over the seal and talisman festival. He wanted to go to face the saint, but was told by the eunuch who announced the decree that His Majesty was sympathetic to his fatigue and ordered him to return home early to rest.

Zhao Yuanzhang can only thank the emperor for his kindness.

He must know that, without even a verbal award, he can even imagine His Majesty's cold face.

As for being sympathetic to his fatigue, it is probably because the eunuch talked too much in order not to make himself look too ugly.
When he returned to the palace, seeing Princess Shulu Jialuo bringing Qi Wangji and concubines and everyone in the palace to welcome him back home, the depression since the end of the war finally dissipated a little.

"Meet the king."

"The princess is free. Get up."

Looking at Shulu Jialuo's exotic and peerless face, Zhao Yuanzhang still managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Gu has been away on an expedition for the past few years, and there is Princess Lao in the house."

Jia Luo smiled very dignifiedly: "My lord, what are you talking about? The rules of the Jin Dynasty are that the male leads the outside and the female leads the inside. Even on our grasslands, the men go out to fight, and the women have to take care of everything at home. That's what I should do. Turgen, come and meet your father."

A boy about four or five years old walked up to Zhao Yuanzhang, "I have seen my father."

This boy is the eldest son of Zhao Yuanzhang and Shulu Jialuo, Zhao Jianlie, and Shulu Jialuo gave him a northern name called Turzhen.

It means brave and tenacious.

"Good boy, you've grown so tall."

Seeing the eldest son, Zhao Yuanzhang was finally a little happy, took his son's hand, and entered the palace with Princess Qi Jialuo.

Along the way, I kept asking him how his daily life was, what he liked to eat, and what he liked to play.

I was very happy to hear that my son likes archery and has already ridden a horse.

After taking them to the hall, Jia Luo finally interrupted the communication between the father and son after a long absence, and asked the maid to take the child down to rest.

After seeing his son leaving, Zhao Yuanzhang looked directly at Jia Luo, and stared straight at her for a long while. Even Jia Luo, the pearl of the prairie who had never been too twitchy, saw her pink cheeks, paired with a princess crown dress, dignified Added a bit of style.

Looking at those eyes like Wang Chunshui, King Qi directly hugged Princess Wang and walked straight to the backyard
There is a saying that a long absence is better than a newlywed. Two hours later, after bathing and changing, the couple had lunch in the backyard.

Lunch is very rich, with boiled quail, lychee white kidney, milk house stick, three crispy soup, lamb tongue stick, sprout belly, gizzard stick, quail soup, belly fat, mandarin duck fried belly, shark fried, fried shark Lining soup.Twelve main courses and some seasonal fruits.

Zhao Yuanzhang, who had just worked hard, naturally felt a little empty in his stomach, and his appetite was much better than when he was in the army.

Jia Luo comforted him while helping to add vegetables.

"My lord, you don't have to worry about this. Isn't there an old saying that 'victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs'. Back then, my father was defeated by Marquis Wu'an of the Jin Kingdom. Ten guards, when he set off, there were [-] troops, three eagle divisions and three leopard divisions. That defeat made Dad silent for a long time, but he is still a hero on the grassland. He just led the leopard division a few months ago He Hushi defeated the blacksmith rebels"

After Zhao Yuanzhang listened to his wife's consolation, he didn't say anything, but nodded with a smile while eating the delicacies.

He was very grateful for his wife's comfort to him, and directly brought out the biggest defeat of his father-in-law's family to make him happy.

Maybe it's because the grasslands don't pay attention to being a respected person?
But after experiencing such a disastrous defeat, he still has the courage to take up the sword and lead the army to victory. This is a great hero.

And he, in fact, did not lose.

It's just that winning doesn't look very good, and ran away with Fang Qiu, the thief chief.

He also let that boy Fu San ridicule him for not knowing how to use soldiers, "It rained continuously for more than ten days, and he didn't know how to move the camp to avoid the water."

For him, it is undoubtedly a great shame and humiliation.

After he came back, his father didn't summon him, which made him feel very disappointed.

However, after all kinds of explanations from the princess, he was finally relieved.

He picked up the wine cup and drank it down. The wine is the princess's favorite milk wine. Zhao Yuanzhang turned his head and looked at Jia Luo who was adding food for him.

"It's a lonely blessing to be able to marry a princess."

Jia Luo still looked at him with a smile on his face, those eyes were beautiful, like stars in the sky.

While the husband and wife were having an affectionate meal, Liang Santai, the head of the palace, came to the hall in the backyard in person.

He is a eunuch, so it is not a hindrance to go in and out of the forbidden backyard.

The eunuch, who had followed King Qi since the palace, picked up a post and put it on the dining table after a brief ceremony.

After Zhao Yuanzhang saw the post, he was a little surprised.

It must be very important for Liang Santai, who has always been cautious, to send it so eagerly.

Sure enough, it was sent by the East Palace, and Prince Zhao Yuantan invited his brother to have a small gathering in the East Palace in three days.

"You go to the Eastern Palace to answer the question in person, and say that Gu has thanked the elder brother for his kindness, and three days later, you will definitely go to see the elder brother as promised, with the respect of all brothers and brothers."

After hearing the order, Liang Santai immediately bowed and retreated, enough to go to the East Palace to answer.

Zhao Yuanzhang watched his leaving back and sighed, "As my elder brother Donggong, I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing to invite you so politely."

A ray of light flashed in Jia Luo's eyes, and then he said: "His Royal Highness is the crown prince, and the purpose of inviting the prince to have a small gathering in this post must be to reward the prince for being diligent in the king's affairs in private, right? After all, the prince has always been lenient, and treats brothers and sisters very well." For benevolence."

Zhao Yuanzhang smiled after hearing Jia Luo's speculation, and shook his head noncommittal.

His eldest brother, Zhao Yuantan, did not secure the position of prince only by relying on generosity and honesty.

Speaking of the scheming city, the two of them together can't beat who is in the East Palace, right?
