The army guarding the town had no one to command, and suddenly it was like a piece of loose sand, which was washed away by the enemy's iron cavalry for thousands of miles.It is said that the barbarians conquered three towns in a row, but it is actually better to say that the three towns were destroyed by their own officers and soldiers.The fleeing soldiers naturally exaggerated the might of the barbarians.The officers and soldiers in Dingyuan and Wuwei Second Townships didn't believe it at first, but as more and more soldiers fled.Before the barbarian's horseshoe came, he abandoned the city and fled.Anyway, he wasn't the only one who ran away, even the emperor's brother-in-law ran away, so the fool died here.

It's just a pity that the people of the three towns became the ghosts of the barbarians.Later, although Taishi Cheng was ordered in the face of danger, he regained Wuwei Town.But at this time, Wuwei Town is already empty.The streets were full of dead bodies, it was hard to be similar, Tianshui, which was closer to the enemy than Wuwei Town, and how tragic Dingyuan Town was.It must be a living hell on earth.

No matter how thick-skinned Wen Luo was at this time, he couldn't help blushing with shame when he heard this matter being mentioned.When he felt bored and was about to leave, he was stopped by Zhao Yuzhi.

"Uncle, there is no definite proof of Xiao Jun's murder. Law is the foundation of a country, and it is established for the world. There is no dignity, high or low, and you must not be selfish. Now is the time for employing people. Don't let the world's scholars feel cold towards me and think that I am a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong!"

Wen Luo was going to pretend he didn't hear it, but he was afraid that the emperor would be pushed into a hurry, and he felt that he was restricted, what should he do if he wanted to take over his power by himself.Forget it, just let him this time.

After Wen Luo saluted and left, Cheng Yu came out of the cubicle and saw Zhao Yuzhi leaning on the chair wearily.

There are some things that the emperor can't do as he wants.Zhao Yuzhi had just ascended the throne, and there were only some officials in the East Palace who belonged to him. Although these people were loyal, they all had low official positions.Not of much use.

"Xia Qing, there are some things that I can't do! The State of Yan has sent a letter of credence. The Emperor of the State of Yan has recently been seriously ill, and he wants to take back the proton in Beijing! This is the season of change. "

Yan State is the country built by the Yi people. Although the Yi people don't like the red tape of the Daxing Kingdom, they are quite interested in the system of the Daxing Dynasty.Also follow the appearance of the Daxing Dynasty, establish a country, set up a throne and hundreds of civil and military officials, from a tribe to a country.

And the proton in Beijing also logically became the prince.Although he is a prince, the Daxing Dynasty has always claimed to be orthodox and looks down on barbarians.Therefore, he is only willing to be called the king of Yan and the proton as the son of the world.Cheng Yu knew that Zhao Yuzhi was afraid that the barbarians would take the proton back and then fight with Emperor Xuan just after he ascended the throne, and the situation of Grand Master Cheng's old department was unknown.I really feel that the position of the emperor is really not for ordinary people.

Zhao Yuzhi glanced at Cheng Yu.Cheng Yu quickly knelt down and kowtowed again.

Zhao Yuzhi waved his hand and said, "Xia Qing, your legs and feet are not good, so you don't need to kneel anymore! Uncle Guo has already talked about what happened just now, and you have listened to it a lot. When the late emperor was in power, he always I don't like to hear people mention Grand Master Cheng. I have read some secret scrolls recently. When Grand Master Cheng returned to Beijing, he only brought a small part of the Cheng family army back to Beijing, and the rest disbanded on the spot. This group of people was scattered all over the Daxing Dynasty. They are my people with peace of mind, and I am not without tolerance."

Cheng Yu knew in his heart that this was a step given to him by Zhao Yuzhi, and this group of people only moved frequently after Cheng Yu returned to Beijing, obviously there must be some conspiracy behind it.

Zhao Yuzhi stood up from the jade chair, walked towards Cheng Yu, and patted him on the shoulder. "Of course I believe in Xia Qing, don't let me down!"

The scenery in the palace was still the same as it was when Emperor Xuan was in power. At that time, he was still young, and every festival, he followed his mother to the palace to attend the dinner party.At that time, it was the same as today, and the autumn wind blew everywhere.

Cheng Yu limped along the royal road in the palace, feeling slightly cold and couldn't help tightening his long gown.

"Lord Xia, go slowly!" Someone called him from behind, Cheng Yu turned his head and saluted Liu Yuan.I caught a glimpse of him holding a fox fur in his hand.

Liu Yuan smiled and said: "The weather is getting colder, here is not as good as in the south. Lord Xia's legs and feet are afraid of the cold, so this fur coat is for Lord Xia to keep warm!"

Cheng Yu thanked Liu Yuan, and was about to take it from him respectfully.Unexpectedly, Liu Yuan suddenly shook off the fox fur and put it on Cheng Yu's body.

"Lord Xia, this fur coat is made of snow fox fur from the far north. His majesty's willingness to reward you is enough to show that your majesty really likes your lord. Someday our family will say something wrong, please My lord, please speak kindly for our family before His Majesty!"

Snow foxes in the extreme north are extremely hard to find, and ordinary hunters go deep into the snow-capped mountains, and they can't find one in two or three months.If one is lucky enough to get one, it will be worth a thousand gold.And this fox fur is not sewed on from a whole piece of fox fur, but when the female fox has a fetus in her abdomen, she peels the skin and takes two or three inches of fur from her abdomen to sew.And the fur on the abdomen of a female fox is really good only when she is pregnant.

The fox fur on Cheng Yu's body was extremely well made, and it could not be seen that it was made of abdominal fur.Like a large piece of natural fox fur, the hem hangs down to the ankle, enveloping Cheng Yu's whole body.

Cheng Yu never liked to wear these, but he didn't dare to take them off in the palace.I had no choice but to thank Liu Yuan again and again.

"Thank you, Eunuch Liu, for reminding me, I'm going to save you!"

Liu Yuan didn't leave after delivering the fox fur, but chatted with Cheng Yu and sent him to the gate of the palace.

After sending Cheng Yu away, Liu Yuan returned to the palace to return to his command.Zhao Yuzhi was writing with Langhao ink, and it seemed that he was not very satisfied with the few pages he wrote.There are already piles of waste paper stained with ink under the feet.

Liu Yuan hurriedly said: "The fox fur that His Majesty gave to Lord Xia just now, the slave has already put on Lord Xia as instructed! Even if Lord Xia left the palace gate, he did not take off the fox fur!"

"What's Xia Qing's reaction?" Zhao Yuzhi asked, still keeping his head down and concentrating on practicing calligraphy without raising his head.

This made Liu Yuan a little embarrassed, if according to the original statement, Master Xia looked very calm, the emperor would probably not be happy when he heard it.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xia is naturally very grateful. If His Majesty treats him well, he will definitely do his best to repay His Majesty!"

Zhao Yuzhi glanced at him, Liu Yuan's legs were numb from the emperor's stare, and he was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground.

In fact, he didn't need to ask Liu Yuan, he could guess Cheng Yu's movements and expressions.

"What is Jin Shu doing these days?"

For a moment, Liu Yuan didn't understand why the topic was brought up to King Ping again, and immediately replied: "In the past few days, Prince Ping, apart from going around the palace, has just gone to the Marquis of Changping's mansion. It hasn't caused any big trouble!"

Zhao Yuzhi thought of Cheng Yu and what he said about going to Xianju with Jinshu Lihun, and immediately felt a headache.The two got a little too close.

"Your Majesty, will His Highness's confinement still be enforced?" Liu Yuan was a little uncertain.

"No need, even if the ban is issued. According to his temperament, although he dare not follow me to fight against me, but he will definitely think of other ways behind his back. At that time, he doesn't know what trouble he will cause, and he will be caught by the minister. .Forget it. There is no need to enforce the confinement. Give him an official position in Honglu Temple. If he dares to refuse the job one day, I will deduct it from his salary!"

In fact, Cheng Yu and Zhao Jinshu were not the only ones affected by this incident.The emperor seemed to have noticed Feng Ningping. As soon as he came out of Prince Ping's mansion and returned to the General Zhenguo's mansion, he was reprimanded by his father in a hurry, and even touched the machete on his waist when he was excited. Fortunately, Feng Ningxiang hugged him just passing by.Feng Ningxiang is a literati, although he can ride a horse.But it is really difficult to control Feng Yue, who has been leading troops in battle all year round.

But that day he actually restrained.There are two reasons, one is that Feng Yue doesn't really want to beat Feng Ningping, but just wants to teach him a lesson.After all, Feng Ningping was helping Xia Yu and King Ping, and the reason could not be miscalculated.If he really hit him hard, wouldn't he slap King Ping face to face?

Second, the old injury on Feng Yue's leg has recurred. The old injury was left when he fought with Cheng Cong.There has been no movement for decades.In the past few days, the wound has been festering and inflamed.

Feng Ningping has been too active these past few days, and was soon noticed by the Shangshu of the Ministry of War.So he asked the emperor to ask Feng Ningping to guard the border.Zhao Yuzhi also wanted to sharpen his temper.Agreed without saying a word.As a result, the commander of the wind turned into the general of the wind.Although the name has changed, the official rank has not changed.

"Ning Ping, can't we leave after the fifteenth day?" Cheng Yu picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Feng Ningping.In fact, he knew that asking was a waste of time, and military orders were like mountains.How can it be changed at will.

Feng Ningping, dressed in military uniform, took the wine glass in Cheng Yu's hand and drank it down in one gulp. The spicy wine immediately choked him and his face turned red.

Cheng Yu said: "I'm sorry for you this time!"

Feng Ningping knew what he was talking about.After he stopped coughing, he explained to Cheng Yu, "Brother, you don't have to worry about it, it's not because of your business. My father is a dignified general who ruled the country, and I'm my father's son. I can't embarrass him. Although I'm not as talented as my elder brother , but in terms of martial arts, I still have a little confidence. Even if there is no order from the Ministry of War this time, I will go to the imperial court and go out to practice!"

Immediately, he changed the subject and went back to the matter of Lihun.Apart from Wen Ming and Pei Zifu, the matter of Cheng Yu's departure from the soul.Only the Holy One and King Ping knew about it.Cheng Yu didn't want to hide it from him either.

After coming out of the palace that day, Cheng Yu told him the ins and outs of the incident.Feng Ningping has lived for more than ten years. He used to only hear about what happened under the bridge, but it actually appeared in front of his eyes. It is conceivable that he was astonished.

"Brother, you still have things other than Lihun, but what else are you hiding from me?"

Cheng Yu thought about it seriously, and besides the matter of his own rebirth, there was really nothing else that he was hiding from him.So he shook his head.

Feng Ningping laughed loudly, lay down on Cheng Yu's back, put his arms around Cheng Yu and laughed. "Brother, you are the best. Next time if there is something wrong, don't try to solve it yourself, you must tell me!" Feng Ningping's actions are a bit childish, unlike Feng Ningping who is wearing a military uniform. It doesn't quite match.But Cheng Yu didn't feel anything wrong, the two of them often did this when they were young, Feng Ningping put his arms around his neck and hung on his back, letting Cheng Yu carry him forward step by step.In Cheng Yu's heart.Feng Ningping is still a child who has not grown up.

He originally went to Zhao Jinshu because Cheng Yu had something to do, but he didn't discuss it with himself, so he felt a little sour.He thought that there was a gap between Brother Xia and him, but now that he got Cheng Yu's guarantee, the haze in his chest was instantly swept away.

"Feng Ning, calm down!" Cheng Yu's face was a little red, "You are now a person with military power, you must always pay attention to your image in the army!" Cheng Yu's words reminded him, and he noticed The family soldiers who had been forming a circle around the pavilion were staring at him strangely.

"Hmph, you all turn your faces away! Didn't you see me chatting with Xiaohou Xia? If there's anything interesting, I'll still run away!" Several soldiers were about to cry.

"Master, you have been chatting with Lord Xia for nearly an hour, and you won't be able to stay at the inn until dark!"

Cheng Yu patted the hand under his chin, "It will take a farewell to send you off for thousands of miles. Ning Feng, let's go, don't waste the time!"
