They all say I'm a tyrant

Lin Ce was born in the palace and grew up in the palace. Although he also lived in the outer mansion, he moved back to the palace within a few years after becoming the throne. Although he was not popular at the time, he was considered a Every time the new year comes, Shangshi Bureau has exhausted all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, delicacies and delicacies to please the nobles in the palace, but in the eyes of Lin Ce, it is not as good as the table in front of him at the moment Not one cent of these oddly shaped dumplings.

You Yan seems to be proficient in many things, but there are also many things he is not good at. Previously, he was dealing with pastoral affairs, but on New Year's Eve, he vividly reflected the phrase "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen".

Because the dumplings are made for the current emperor, both the filling and the flour are carefully prepared by the imperial chef. When it is really Yu Yan's turn to start, the only step left is to make the dumplings.

The servants of Changle Palace treated You Yan with extra patience and meticulousness, but it was obvious that You Yan had no talent in this kind of thing. The finished product is really unsatisfactory.

But for Yu Yan, this is not a serious matter.

He raised his hand and rubbed his face, and waved to Lin Ce who came over after changing his clothes, with a bit of pride in his tone: "This is the dumpling I specially made for you, doesn't it look good?"

With a smile on his lips, Lin Ce wiped off the flour on the side of his face, lowered his head to look at the dumplings that made You Yan so proud, his eyes twitched, he could see that You Yan had put a lot of thought into this matter, he was He wanted to say a few words of praise, but found that the dumplings made by You Yan were really different from the dumplings he knew.

Lin Ce looked at the dumplings for a while, then raised his head to meet You Yan's expectant eyes, subconsciously licked his lips, and pointed to one of them: "This... looks like a special shape?"

"Good eyesight!" You Yan picked up the dumpling with a smile, and held it in front of Lin Ce, "This is a dragon I specially made for you. Look, this is the dragon's horn, and here is the dragon's beard. Well, here is the dragon tail." You Yan said, and he looked at the somewhat strange dumpling carefully, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt satisfied, "You are the only one who is qualified to eat this dumpling in the whole world."

Lin Ce lowered his head and carefully looked at the so-called "dragon" in You Yan's hand. He didn't know if he was influenced by You Yan's words, but he really felt that this strange-shaped dough would , it really looks a bit like a dragon.Lin Ce stretched out his hand and took the dough from You Yan's hand, and the corners of his lips raised accordingly: "So, I have to eat this dragon today."

"That's natural," You Yan clapped his hands, brushed off the flour that was on his body, and stretched, "Then we can cook dumplings for the New Year's Eve dinner." You Yan leaned over to share with Lin Ce as he spoke I leaned against his face, and leaned into his ear and whispered, "It's hard work making dumplings. My waist is sore and my legs are so tired. I don't know if there is any reward."

Lin Ce grabbed his shoulders and pulled him to sit down on the soft bed: "How about I rub it for you?"

You Yan leaned lazily on him, nodded: "I wish for it."

The servant had carefully cooked all the dumplings left by You Yan on the table, and the mess that You Yan had just made in the hall was cleaned up neatly.You Yan didn't care at all, he leaned on Lin Ce with his eyes slightly closed, and let Lin Ce hold his waist.

Both of them enjoy this kind of time alone, even if they are relatively silent, they can even hear each other's breathing clearly in the silence of the room, and they feel very comfortable.

"Your Majesty," Gao Yong hurried in, breaking the rare warm atmosphere in this room, "Southwest Express."

You Yan opened his eyes and saw the same surprise in Lin Ce's eyes. He patted his hand that was still on his waist, sat up straight, raised his chin towards Gao Yong, and sighed softly: "In this It’s rare to be quiet on New Year’s Eve.”

Lin Ce touched You Yan's face, stretched out his hand to take the urgent report from Gao Yong, glanced over it hastily, and couldn't help frowning: "I thought that on my birthday, Fan Guoguo The Lord also sent a congratulatory gift, which meant that we lived in harmony and kept our duty. But I didn’t expect to attack me in the southwest at this year’s end.” Lin Ce narrowed his eyes slightly, and handed the report to You Yan, "Does he think that I am still the dazed and overwhelmed waste when I first took over the throne?"

You Yan's gaze swept across the report, and he understood it.The Lord of the Kingdom of Fan deliberately showed his favor by paying tribute and congratulating Lin Ce on his birthday, probably to let the Southern Wei Dynasty relax its vigilance, and before and after the new year, the whole Southern Wei Dynasty was immersed in the atmosphere of the upcoming New Year, and took the opportunity to make trouble, thinking that this would be the reason for this. You can take the lead and take some advantage from the hands of the Southern Wei Dynasty.

But as Lin Ce said, it is not four years ago. Lin Ce is not the new king who had nothing, and the Southern Wei Dynasty is no longer the Southern Wei Dynasty.Four years ago, You Yan had established his majesty in the surrounding countries of the Southern Wei Dynasty by virtue of the First Northwest War, and also took this opportunity to build an invincible army with strict military discipline for the Southern Wei Dynasty.

Therefore, even though it was the end of the new year, neither the defenders in the southwest nor the northwest would relax their vigilance, and the wishful thinking of the Lord of Fan Kingdom naturally came to nothing.The raiding team of the Fan Kingdom was just a dozen miles away from Lingling City in the southwest when they were spotted by scouts from the Southern Wei Dynasty. ".

In the battle of Lingling City, Fan Guo paid a great price for their recklessness and arrogance. Not only did they fail to take advantage of the Southern Wei Dynasty, they also lost troops and generals, and suffered heavy losses. However, this was just the beginning.

Fan Guo's move has already broken decades of tranquility between the Southern Wei Dynasty and Fan Kingdom. Although the battle of Lingling City seems to have ended, the relationship between the Southern Wei Dynasty and Fan Kingdom cannot return to the past.Southwest's urgent report is firstly to report this matter, and secondly to ask Lin Ce for his opinion on follow-up matters.

You Yan shook the thin letter paper lightly, and couldn't help sighing: "After all, he is young and energetic. The new king of Fan Kingdom has not been long since he succeeded to the throne. Compared with his father in terms of vision and ability, You Yan It's far worse. After so many years of peace between the Southern Wei Dynasty and the Fan Kingdom, he chose to stir up trouble, and ended up causing himself a whole lot of trouble."

Lin Ce had already stood up and came to the desk. Gao Yong had already ground the ink for him in advance, laid out the paper, and handed the pen to him.

Lin Ce picked up the pen, stared at the blank paper in front of him, and was silent for a while: "It also shows that he is more ambitious than his father. In our eyes, he has lived peacefully with Fan Guo for so many years, but in his eyes However, not necessarily. Decades ago, Fan State was defeated in a battle in the Southwest, and it was forced to submit a letter of surrender to our court, claiming to be a minister and paying tribute, and it has been decades in a blink of an eye. There is a lot of land and lack of supplies, and the annual tribute is not a small burden for them. The old lord was cowardly and did not dare to offend the Southern Wei Dynasty, for fear of causing disaster, but the new lord could not hold back. It's normal, if it were me, I might not be able to bear it."

When he said this, he dipped his pen and ink, and began to write back to the southwestern defenders: "It's just a pity that their opponent is also me. The winner and the loser, since they lost, they should also learn a lesson."

You Yan raised his eyebrows, opened the map on Lin Ce's case, looked at it for a while, and clicked on a certain position: "Then start here, according to the current ability of the Southwest Army, take It will only take about three days to go down here. Since the Lord of Fan Kingdom is not satisfied with the current tribute, let’s discuss about the future tribute after taking this place.”

Lin Ce glanced at it, and the corners of his lips raised. At certain times, he and You Yan were very compatible in many aspects. For example, now, they made the same decision just after reading that secret letter.When it comes to war, they are all people who will never suffer a little loss, and that's why You Yan was able to help him clean up all the troubles in the northwest back then.

After reading the map, You Yan leaned on Lin Ce's desk, held the secret letter and looked at it for a while, then suddenly raised his head to look at Lin Ce: "If I remember correctly, Wu Sheng should have entered Southwest garrison?"

Lin Ce was stunned for a moment, paused with the hand holding the pen, and nodded slightly: "Indeed, it seems that the opportunity he wanted has come. As for whether he can make any achievements, it depends on whether he has the ability .”

"I haven't had much contact with Wu Sheng before, but since I'm a guard of the Forbidden Palace, I still have some skills. Besides, it won't be too ordinary to make the princess miss him." You Yan folded the secret letter and leaned over. Seeing Lin Ce's reply, "In my opinion, you may really start preparing the dowry for the princess."

Lin Ce smiled, and shook his head lightly: "Then let's see what achievements he can make before he dares to come back and ask me to marry Xiumei." After sealing the envelope, he looked at Gao Yong, "Order to send this letter to the southwest urgently without delay."

Gao Yong answered the letter carefully: "I obey the order." He raised his head to look at Lin Ce's face, then at You Yan who was still sitting on the desk, and couldn't help but rejoice that although this was an urgent report, the overall It's not a bad thing to say, "Your Majesty, it's almost time, do you have dinner now?"

You Yanxian laughed: "My dumplings should be cooked too, so bring them here for His Majesty to taste. No matter what the urgent matter is, we still have to eat this dinner."

Gao Yong glanced at Lin Ce, heaved a sigh of relief after getting his response, and bowed back with the secret letter.
