Traveling through the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a story of survival in troubled tim

"So, after I leave, you must be careful with what you say and do."

There was worry and it scared her.

Talking about another thing.

"I went out a few days ago and we cleared out all the restless people around us. No one within a hundred miles dared to attack or have other ideas."

Wenshu felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this.

But, I couldn’t tell what was wrong.

"Brother, what shall we do now that you're gone, Little Eight?"

It is said that the eldest brother is like a father. After Wen Yao returned to his clan, not only did he arrange their affairs properly, but Wen Jun also brought them by his side and taught them personally.

"I took Wenjun away this time because I had other plans. He's still young and living in troubled times, so the family has other plans too!"

Wenjun is also known as Xiao Laoba.

After hearing this, Wenshu did not ask any further questions.

Recently, the younger children in the clan have all made other arrangements.

Thinking of Wen Yao's hasty departure, Wen Shu didn't know what she was thinking about.

It's March now, almost April.

What was supposed to happen had happened, and even if it had happened, he had no way of knowing about it.

Then why did the elder brother do this?

"Brother, what happened in Luoyang?"

Seeing her serious expression, Wen Yao thought about what she had said before and felt that there was no need to hide anything further.

"Do you know the King of the East Sea..."

"The King of Donghai, Sima Yue, styled Yuanchao, was from Wen, Henei. He was granted the titles of Imperial Assistant Minister, General of the Left Guard, and additionally Minister of the Court... and Minister of Remuneration for the Grand Tutor."

Wen Shu counted Sima Yue's official positions on her fingers as if they were all her treasures.

"But, this person probably won't live long..."

Finally, Wen Shu's almost inaudible voice made a summary.

But who is Wen Yao? He has been practicing martial arts for many years and has sharp eyes and ears. Nothing can escape his ears.

"You are mistaken. This time the King of Donghai is planning to send troops to Shi Le. I heard that he has requested permission from His Majesty to send 100,000 troops.

If everything goes well, the two armies should be fighting each other now..."

Listen, the tone is full of expectations for victory.

Can’t it be!

Wenshu didn't dare to think about it, nor did she dare to gamble.

She stood up from the chair, and because she moved too much, the pillow on the armrest fell to the ground.

"Brother, you're going out this time, aren't you? It's not because of this matter with the King of the East Sea!"

Wen Shu's tone was solemn.

"Pengpeng, you're worrying too much. I, your elder brother, don't have that ability. I'm also ready to act when the time comes. If the situation is good, we'll go back to our ancestral home. If the situation is bad, we'll have to make new plans."

How can this work!

Of course, Wen Shu couldn't say it directly now, as the King of Donghai might have already died.

The King of Donghai controlled the imperial court, and his killing of ministers had already caused dissatisfaction in the imperial court, so he was just waiting for an opportunity.

She couldn't say it directly.

"Brother, what do you think of the relationship between the King of Donghai and the Emperor? And how is his relationship with the court officials?"

"This……"

"That powerful official is not like that!"

Wen Yao wanted to deny it in his heart, but he couldn't find a suitable reason.

"Then how did Sima Yue reach Yangwu and approach Guanzhong?"

"Then how did Emperor Hui disappear? Have you ever thought about how Emperor Hui, who posed no threat to him and couldn't even issue an order, disappeared?

The current emperor is no longer Emperor Hui, he is just a fledgling emperor who is ready to strike back at any time. Although he has handed over government affairs, it does not mean that he does not have his own power, nor does it mean that he has no intention of living under the suppression of the King of Donghai for a long time.

At this moment, Wen Yao looked at the girl in front of him as if she were a stranger.

"How do you know this?"

Wen Shu doesn't care about these things. If she doesn't analyze it now and let her elder brother be mentally prepared, he will rush in headfirst and become cannon fodder without knowing why he died.

He didn't understand the forces secretly competing with each other in the court, and he also knew over the years that things were not as peaceful as they seemed.

This can be seen from the southward-moving forces headed by the Wang family and other forces.

He didn't care at first and didn't take Wen Shu's words to heart. After all, a woman who was raised in the boudoir had little contact with the outside world and knew nothing about what was happening in the court.

But Wenshu analyzed the current situation in the court and the forces that are currently separatist.

There are also secrets in the court.

As for Emperor Hui, everyone had their own guesses, but no one actually verified it.

No one had the courage to go to the King of Donghai and ask, "Emperor Hui is not harmful to you, nor does he pose any threat to you. Why did you poison him?"

I guess he hadn't even finished saying this when his head fell to the ground.

Wen Yao was thinking back to when his father left, and he repeatedly told him to listen more to Wen Shu's opinions and talk to her more.

Did father already know this, Wen Shuhuimin?

Seeing that her elder brother had taken her words to heart, Wen Shu took the opportunity to speak drastically. "Brother, do you know why the King of Donghai suddenly planned to send troops to attack the Xiongnu...?"

"Because of Liu Yuan's death, we are taking advantage of the Xiongnu's low morale and preparing to launch an all-out attack to drive the Xiongnu back outside the Great Wall..."

After all, most people think this way, so Wen Yao is not wrong to say this.

"But if we want to chase them back to the border, why do we take the noble families with us, and why do we take the court's capable ministers with us?"

"You weren't there, so how did you know? How could you be sure?"

He felt a little trembling in his heart. Pengpeng had been with them all the way, but she had no one of her own to see what was happening far away in Luoyang.

Under his nose, he knew very well that Pengpeng had not sent anyone to inquire deliberately.

But even if he didn't admit it, Pengpeng's words matched up with the scattered information he had received before.

How could he not be frightened?

Have to pay attention.

He did not respond to the elder brother's question, but continued, "But do you know what I am thinking now?"

Wen Yao asked, "What does His Majesty think...?"

Looking at the folding fan on the table, Wen Shu picked it up and opened it with a snap.

Swaying gently.

"Brother, suppose, I mean suppose—"

After confirming that there was no one around, Wen Shu walked closer and continued in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Suppose there is a vicious slave in our house, and all the property and servants in the house are controlled by the vicious slave.

If the evil slave is in a bad mood, he can easily kill the nominal master and replace him with an obedient master, so that he can act more conveniently outside.

--snort--

When Wen Yao heard this, he frowned and sneered.

"We can't have a slave like that in our family. He'll be sold off sooner or later."

"I'm just talking about it...&...Don't worry, brother."

Wen Shu spread her hands and continued, "Suppose one day, you find that the evil slave has taken away all our family's property and all the people who can be used in the family. As a master, you dare not confront him and can only watch all this happen. Maybe you will give birth to him to open the door and send him away!"

If you are like this, what will you do? "

Wen Yao couldn't help but say, "If I were really so cowardly, I guess this family wouldn't be handed over to me."

"But what if there's only one person in charge at home..."

This……

Wen Yao was speechless for a moment and could not answer.

If he really faced such a predicament, he would surely fight with all his might if he had any chance.
