To Rule in a Turbulent World

After You Miao agreed to send troops in February, Zhao Chao wanted to stay with You Miao for dinner, but You Miao didn't dare to stay longer because of Li Yan's matter, so he had to leave exhausted again.

This time, it was still the sons and brothers of the past, and they all got married and had children. After counting, it has been nearly nine years. When You Miao sat down, he sighed, and when he saw You Miao, everyone was laughing.

"It's really not easy to invite you back." Li Yan never mentioned anything about the court, and said with a smile: "Come, my brothers toast you."

"Don't dare." You Miao said with a smile: "I should toast you, everyone has worked hard these years."

Ping Xi said: "I heard that you and Batu have made friends, how about that person?"

You Miao thought of the charge of "communication with foreign countries" that he had been indiscriminately charged, so she didn't dare to say more, and replied, "It's just a disguise. I killed He Motie'er under his hands."

You Miao thought to himself that Li Yanpingxi was also among the people who came to pick him up by the Yellow River that day, so he simply kept it secret from them, and said: "The peace request letter has been handed over to His Majesty."

Li Yandao: "Even the Tatars don't want to fight, so it can be seen that they are afraid."

You Miao took a sip of her wine and replied: "Your Majesty's intention to go on an expedition has been decided, so it's better not to say too much. When you came to Yangzhou one day, you swore that you will always return to the Central Plains."

Several people remembered the day when they escaped from Yanbian, Pingxi sighed, put down his glass heavily, and said, "Ziqian, I won't hide it from you, after so many years, you also know that my brother never hides his words. "

"You want to fight, we all understand, and we all know the benefits of fighting." Ping Xi said: "But the situation is not as optimistic as you think. The decisive battle three years ago almost brought down Jiangnan. Now if one fights three Years, I am afraid that if no one comes to attack again, the apocalypse will already be..."

"I know." You Miao said lightly.

"National affairs must not be risky..." Qin Shaonan said again.

"Tell him this." Li Yanwei said angrily: "How could he not understand? Let me ask you, You Miao, you are fighting for Shanadol, right?! You never regarded Tianqi as your home at all! Don't think that I don't know, after the battle against the Tartars, His Majesty also promised to lend troops to Xanadu..."

"He has also done a lot for Tianqi." You Miao said: "This is a matter of course."

"I'm not opposed to a decisive battle." Li Yan said angrily: "But it should never be at this time, this place! Give me another 20 years, and the Tatars don't need to fight at all, and they will collapse themselves..."

"In another 20 years!" You Miao's voice also became louder: "It's not up to everyone here to decide! Do you think His Majesty will still have such ambitions when he gets old? I'm afraid he will have more than one heart at that time." And the strength is not enough!"

"Then you are going to take the lives of 15 soldiers and civilians to fight a war that you don't know if you can win?!" Li Yan said angrily.

You Miao replied: "Who will win the war? Tell me?"

Li Yan couldn't make sense with You Miao, and You Miao didn't want to talk nonsense with Li Yan anymore. He didn't bother to listen to Li Yan's national policy anymore. These were all written in the booklet. Needless to say, he also knew that Li Yan's goal was to make long-distance friendship and short-term attack. In the case of Tatar's favor, first reach a consensus, and then clean up the Wuhu entrenched in the pass one by one.Tatar was finally settled.

You Miao has to admit that this method is the safest method. Combining the horizontal and the vertical has existed since ancient times, but it will not be possible to implement this strategy in 50 or 100 years.Scholars from the Central Plains have been fleeing south for a long time, and they are all tired. Given time, everyone will grow old, and Zhao Chao has no heirs.

Of course, You Miao didn't dare to say these words. If he said it, he would be a saint. Even if Zhao Chao didn't stab himself to death, it would not be a joke to be included in a book.When an emperor gets old, most of them will change, and their temperament will change a lot, especially for an insecure emperor like Zhao Chao, who has experienced ups and downs when he was young, and it is even more difficult to accept opinions in his later years.At that time, You Miao patted her ass and left, leaving behind a mess.

The last time Apocalypse was almost subjugated, it was precisely because it started to rot from within the country. A big tree didn't need foreigners to push it, but it was left with a hollow and rotten trunk, which couldn't bear it after a little wind and rain.

"Since you want to say that." You Miao said, "Let's just assume I'm going my own way, let's open my mouth. General Nie has obtained the Tiger Talisman today, and he's going to send troops to the expedition. Li Zhifeng is also making arrangements. This matter cannot be changed."

"You Ziqian! Don't you even listen to military orders?" Li Yan roared.

"How do you hear it?!" You Miao said angrily: "The arrow is on the string, I have to shoot! I have been preparing for so many years, and I am waiting for this moment..."

"What if we lose?" Ping Xi asked.

"If I lose, I will take responsibility." You Miao replied.

Li Yandao: "What are you responsible for? Today's Tianqi seems to be rich, but it is only a scene of being strong outside and doing nothing, the lives of 15 soldiers, and the families of Jiangnan people, can you take this responsibility?!"

"I can't bear it." You Miao said: "It's just a life, it's not too late to ask me about it after you lose."

"He's just crazy." Li Yan gritted his teeth.

You Miao put down her wine glass and said lightly, "Farewell."

You Miao came out of the restaurant, and was blown by the wind, her mind was vaguely sober.

He had to admit that Li Yan could see more clearly than he did. After all, he had been an official in the court for many years and knew the people's livelihood everywhere.Now, if you start a war rashly, you will either win or lose, there is no room for it.

Even he himself began to waver, for fear that, as Li Yan said, the First World War would drag Tianqi down.The situation at this moment is different from that of many years ago. At that time, people from the north came to the south, and the whole of Jiangnan began to panic. Therefore, the army and the people were united and willing to fight.

Right now, it's hard to say.

You Miao returned to the political affairs hall, and before she had time to think about it, the six documents had piled up into a mountain.All the teachers were still staying up late to review the matter, so You Miao sat where Sun Yu used to be, and was stunned for a while.What would you do now, sir?

The old man's heart is always very strong, so strong that You Miao finds it a little incredible. His determination is like a wall, as if standing behind You Miao forever.When sitting in this position, You Miao seemed to feel that Sun Yu was the wall behind him.

"The arrow is on the string, I have to shoot..." You Miao murmured.

"General Lee."

"His Royal Highness Shanado."

Everyone got up one after another, and Li Zhifeng appeared in the hall. You Miao didn't even know when Li Zhifeng came. When she looked up, she met his eyes and saw the warm smile in his eyes.

"Hello." Li Zhifeng nodded slightly to everyone, and it was regarded as a courtesy. Li Zhifeng is arrogant, and it has always been spread in the court. When he saw the six ministers, Li Zhifeng didn't even nod his head. In other words, it's for You Miao's sake.

"Have you eaten yet?" Li Zhifeng asked.

"I just drank some wine." You Miao and Li Zhifeng asked and answered, as if they were talking about family matters. The marriage between You Miao and Li Zhifeng was discussed in the political affairs hall. Although it was somewhat nondescript, the relationship between the two , the rest of the people are clear about it, so they are not surprised.

You Miao and Li Zhifeng came out and had another meal, and when they returned to the Zhengshitang, it was already late at night.

Li Zhifeng said with a smile: "The day after tomorrow we will send troops."

"Yeah." You Miao nodded, still a little uneasy in her heart, Li Zhifeng looked at You Miao again, and said, "Ziqian, trust me, I will definitely give you a new home that will satisfy you."

Hearing those words, You Miao's heart was moved again. He looked up at Li Zhifeng and found that he was completely different from before.His eyes are full of hope and spirit, like a young man who has been promised, his raised eyebrows seem to tell You Miao that their future is about to begin.

At that moment, You Miao made up her mind.

"Leave the court affairs to me." You Miao said.

Li Zhifeng said: "Pay attention to your body, don't overwork yourself."

You Miao nodded, the moon was in the sky, and the two hugged each other tightly, silently.
