Chapter 44 Battle Situation

At the beginning of October, the frontier battle reports began to be sent back to Beijing in a steady stream.

There are no major changes, but overall, there are more defeats than victories.

Fighting against the city with an army several times larger than the enemy's, it was actually held back.The mighty invincibility of the enemy cavalry seems to have been verified once again.

Gradually, there were more covert and even sharp attacks on Gao Huancheng in the court, and the voices calling for an early peace negotiation became louder and louder.

Jian Jun also became immobile from the beginning, and gradually became a little restless.

This is the first time he has made a big deal since he took office, and he contributed to this battle to some extent.He desperately needs a victory to prove himself.

But he has studied with the Taifu for nearly ten years, even if the Taifu didn't take the initiative to teach him anything, he would naturally learn something through his ears and eyes.

For example, how to cover up his anxiety, how to comfort those who are even more anxious than him from his attitude - he is not a person who gives up halfway, and he does not want to change his position easily in the midst of ambiguity.

So these days, he is essentially bearing double the pressure.

Fortunately, there was A Lian in the court who was calmer and more determined than him, and he analyzed the battle reports for him from time to time, looking for encouraging signs.

However, although the battle situation is gradually developing in the direction predicted by Ah Lian, the final victory is still elusive, and the court is full of negative opinions, Jian Jun's anxiety has not been relieved.

A few times he could hardly control himself and wanted to flee to Miu Ci's place, curled up in her arms and just fell asleep with his head covered, thinking nothing of anything.

But the more it was like this, the more he didn't want Misty to see his weakness.

——He wants to grow up as soon as possible and become a reliable and trustworthy person.Although it was not his intention to destroy the image of the pitiful child in Yu Ci's heart, since he has already suffered for it, he will never go back.

When he grows up and can hold Miu Ci in his arms and comfort her restlessness and anxiety, their relationship will truly become equal.Only then can Xi Ci truly regard him as her husband.

Although Yu Ci did not intentionally inquire about the situation in the court, she inevitably heard some of it.

She still remembered a detail in the history books - when the battle was at its most stalemate, Jian Jun acted calmly in court, but he summoned Ah Lian seven times that night.When she first read this, she couldn't help laughing at the historian's obsession, saying that Jian Jun was just upset.

But when she heard the ringtone with her own ears and said, "Your Majesty summoned Ah Lian again on the fifth watch, and went to bed after dawn, and then rang the morning bell, and it was morning time", she realized the extraordinary meaning of that stroke. place.

——This seems to be the third day in a row, and Jian Jun hasn't slept for two hours.

Why do you have to be brave to such an extent, thinking that you are made of iron?
At the same time as she was worried, Yu Ci also had a little bit of self-blame—she only knew that the future between her and Jian Jun was already doomed, and she couldn't interfere with him any more, but she forgot that he was still a child after all.

"Let Amin go to Qianqing Palace to guard it." She said, "As soon as His Majesty comes to court, invite him to Shoucheng Palace."

When A Ming came to Qianqing Palace, he saw Nan Caiping's maid drinking tea and handing a food box to an eunuch.

He has always been friendly with Nan Caiping, so he asked a few words casually, knowing that Nan Caiping was worried that Jianjun's health would not be able to bear it, so he personally cooked soup for him to take care of him, and said: "Your little master is indeed more considerate than others."

The little eunuch of Qianqing Palace snorted coldly.

A Ming knew why, so he didn't point it out, he just smiled and said to Pinming: "Say hello to your little master for me."

He is twenty years old, his complexion is slightly dark, but his appearance is extremely handsome.Although he is an eunuch, there is a strange quiet nobility about him.In addition, he has a quiet and gentle personality, and treats people with courtesy, so he has always been very popular in the palace.Knowing that he is an eunuch, but seeing him smile like this, Pinming couldn't help but blush, and said shamelessly: "I remember." After saying that, he left in a daze.

Amin knew that she would not be the first to deliver supplements, nor would she be the last.But they put so much effort into it, not to mention letting Jian Jun eat it, even letting him hear it would be difficult.

——Ancestral rules, eating outside is not allowed to enter the palace without a report.Even if it is given by the queen, it must be approved by the emperor before it can be taken in.

Although A Ming is not as powerful and influential as Wang Mingming, everyone knows that he is the eunuch in charge of Shoucheng Palace.Others may not know how Jianjun treats Yuci, but those who serve in Qianqing Palace know it well as long as they are not blind.So they dare not underestimate him.

Amin naturally knew this rule, so the eunuch did not avoid him.While opening the food box, he looked at A Ming with a shy smile, and said, "Mr. Lu, let's try it together?"

A Ming was about to shake his head when he saw something protruding from the gap in the food box. He was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't show any signs of expression. He just turned his head to look at the Wende Hall on purpose, and said lightly: "No need."

Sure enough, after a while, he heard the lid of the food box fall down, and then it was closed in a hurry.

The eunuch said a little unnaturally: "Then our family went in to greet others... Chief Lu waits first?"

A Ming sneered in his heart, nodded lightly and said: "Please go ahead."

——In the food box, besides the soup, there was also a stack of mulberry banknotes pressed with silver ingots.That thickness is probably enough for a person serving in front of the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty.

With such a large sum of money, I'm afraid I started saving from the day I entered the palace.He had known for a long time that Nan Caiping would not be a woman who lived under others for a long time.

Jian Jun went down to the court, and when he saw A Ming, he was a little stunned.

He felt that his heartbeat was messy, and he knew that his body couldn't take it anymore, but he still wanted to approve a few papers to catch up on sleep.Knowing that it was Yu Ci who invited him to go, she couldn't help but struggled fiercely in her heart.

——His self-control is limited to not taking the initiative to rub into Yu Ci's arms, but he is not strong enough to refuse her invitation.

But he really wants to be a wise king who is not obsessed with women.But the queen is a virtuous housemate, not a womanizer who will harm the country.But wouldn't it be halfway if he went to the patience of these days.But he just wants to see the empress so much that he can't stand it... Well, it's up to God to decide, if the number of steps in the Qianqing Palace is even, he will go to see Yuci...

When he reached the eighth step, Jian Jun finally became irritable—even if there are nine steps in the Qianqing Palace, so what, does he need others to nod in agreement when he goes to see his queen? !
I haven't seen him for a few days, but Jianjun's longing for Yuci has overflowed.But when I saw it suddenly, I couldn't say a word.

Just looking at her as if in a dream, Empress Xindao is indeed naturally beautiful, even if she doesn't wear makeup, she is still more beautiful than others.It's just that the face seems a little too pale, and the lip color is also very light... Didn't he eat well?Have you had a good rest?Could it be that someone has caused her trouble these days?Or is there something on her mind?

Yu Ci saw that he was just looking at herself in a daze, her eyelashes were long and black, flickering slightly, her eyes were hazy, and she didn't know where her thoughts had drifted.He couldn't help but sighed, and went forward to change his clothes.

Jian Jun subconsciously held her hand, pulled it to his lips, and was about to kiss her, but suddenly became alert and hurriedly let go.

"The queen invited me here, what's the matter?"

Yu Ci lowered her head, and untied the sash and knee covering for him, without answering, she only asked, "Have you had your breakfast yet?"

Jian Jun paused for a moment, then said with some coyness: "... I stayed in bed for a while."

It was still a tender and soft baby's fat face, and when he said this with flickering eyes, he was so cute that he burst out.

It's a pity that she is no longer the child who can be pampered by her.

Yu Ci really wanted to say to him: "It's okay to postpone the court once in the morning..." But she also knew that such words should never come from the queen's mouth.He only took off the crown for him, straightened his clothes, and said, "Let's eat something first."

Seeing that Jun had long forgotten that he had to go back to review the papers, he was only happy to be able to stay for a moment longer, so he nodded and said, "Yeah."

He hoped that this breakfast could be extended indefinitely, but Yu Ci only prepared porridge, custard and a few light side dishes.He took another sip and ate it up in a while.

He looked at Yu Ci, hoping to find something to talk about, so he delayed for a while.

Yu Ci took his hand, took him into the room and pulled him onto the bed.Then he personally lowered the curtain, picked out the silver hook, took off his clothes, shoes and socks, and pushed him to lie down.

Jian Jun's mind was spinning a little chaotically, and when he saw the delicate color of Miu Ci's lips, his mouth suddenly became parched.He stretched out and held his fingers several times, and finally decided to get up and escape, but just as he sat up, Miu Ci pressed his chest and pushed him back.He fell on the bed, hugged the pillow and buried his head in it, his breath was a little bit hard, his heart was already burning,

But he was too tired to think too much.

When Yu Ci pressed his feet into the hot water and gently kneaded them for him, he felt his body relax instantly, and soon he was sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

In mid-October, there were two heavy snowfalls in Yanzhou, and the temperature dropped sharply.

This time, the supplies on the front line were dispatched by A Lian. He seemed to have figured out the climate of the border early. The second batch of charcoal-fired clothes for the winter had been sent ahead of time. It seemed that thousands of sheep were also delivered together. It was said that they were from a certain merchant. private contributions.

In November, the enemy took the risk of plundering military households on the border, but was repelled by the guards, and the battle finally turned.

The enemy's offensive showed signs of failure, and then internal divisions emerged.It seems that someone in the royal court proposed to withdraw the troops, and the two factions are busy arguing.

Ah Lian estimated that it was time to fight back, but at this time he told Jian Junjin that the general Qian Xiude, who was in charge of the front-line dispatch, was more than cautious and lacked vigor.After fighting against the enemy, I am already timid, I am afraid that it will delay the opportunity of the battle.Better to replace him.

Although Jian Jun doesn't understand these things very well, he also knows that it is a taboo for military strategists to change their minds before the battle.Ah Lian's temperament made him not know how to worry about people's hearts, but Jian Jun couldn't help but think about it.So he hesitated again and again, but still didn't accept it, and ordered the cabinet and the Ministry of War to issue several feather letters to urge him at the same time.

Victory seems to be on the horizon, and Jian Jun can finally take a breather.

He thought that there was a guest from the prairie waiting in the Yongxing mansion, so he ordered someone to announce the decree, allowing you to come to Beijing to have an audience
