The one or two years in Youzhou was a rare time for him to be unrestrained and indulge himself.There are no red tape matters, no need to deal with people tactfully, and he can be as chic and comfortable as he thought before.

Youzhou is dry and cold, and a rare rain brings humidity, and the weather becomes colder and colder.

The veil had just been dipped in warm water, and it was actually very warm when it covered his eyes. He was a little greedy for this slight warmth.

"I don't take you to the battlefield, do you blame me?"

"Don't blame brother."

Bai Lian grabbed the hand he was about to withdraw, "Just cover it like this, it's very comfortable."

"Oh."

"It's not that I want you to be with the supply general. It's not that I don't value you, nor is it just to find a place to send you away. A few years ago, you learned more about how to fight on the battlefield from Master Jiang. You are very aggressive. The ability is also very good. But the coach must not only be brave, but also learn to balance."

Bai Lian said again: "The most important thing in the barracks is food and grass. You can't let your soldiers go to battle hungry and kill the enemy, and the transportation of food and grass has never been so simple. Now the food and grass in the five marginal cities are all provided by Yanzhou and For supplies in Dizhou, on the road from Youzhou to Yanzhou or Dizhou, the supply battalion has found no less than three roads. How to go can avoid the enemy's sneak attack to the greatest extent, how to go can reach the fastest, and how to go can Let the soldiers' physical exertion be the least...these are all obtained by them hundreds of times."

"You must be familiar with your enemy, and even more familiar with your team. Those who accompany you in battle are your weapons, and those who stay behind are your backing."

Jiang Weiyan: "I understand."

"Yunsui has Master Jiang, and the five marginal cities in the future will be your battlefield for Jiang Weiyan."

Jiang Weiyan shook his head, "No, it belongs to brother."

Bai Lian was silent for a while, and said slowly: "After the battle of Youzhou is over, I will return to Bianjing. I don't know if there is still a chance to go to the battlefield."

Jiang Weiyan paused after hearing the words, slowly removed the veil, looked into Baili's eyes, and said, "Then we... can we meet again?"

Bai Lian rubbed his head with a smile, "You work hard to be a great general, and you will be able to return to Beijing to be appointed after you have made military achievements, and you will also be able to see me."

Jiang Weiyan nodded vigorously, "Okay. Brother wait for me."

Bai Lian looked at the sporadic points in the dark sky, and said softly: "It's always a pity that I haven't been able to fight side by side with you in this life."

Jiang Weiyan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's a good thing."

"Huh?" Bai Lian turned to look at him.

"If there is no war, there is no need to go to the battlefield. Naturally, there will be no time to fight side by side. Isn't this what His Highness hopes?"

Bai Lian smiled, leaned back, and lay on the eaves with his arms pillowed, "That's right."

Jiang Weiyan looked down at him, and asked tentatively, "Brother, my mother can go back to Yunsui, do you know?"

Bai Lian pretended to be stupid, "Really? Good thing."

"When did you tell the emperor?"

"How did you know it was me who mentioned it?"

"...The father-in-law slipped the tongue."

"Let me think about it..." Bai Lian said calmly, as if he had done such a trivial thing as helping an old lady on the street, "He asked me to be a privy envoy, but I didn't want to, so I entered the palace to argue with him After a while, I mentioned something casually."

"Threatening the emperor?"

Bai Lian teased: "How can it be? It's just some transactions between father and son. If I want to do what he wants, I will have to pay something."

"Thank you."

"I'll accept what I said for Mrs. Jiang. If you say it for yourself, it's too early." Bai Lian sat up, held Jiang Weiyan's hand, and said sincerely, "Wait for me, I will definitely let you go home."

Go home... When they first met, Bai Lian also said to take him home.

He always puts himself last and those he cares about first.He never sought anything for himself, even at the risk of being disrespectful, he begged the emperor to let Leng Yu go back to Yunsui. He arranged everything, except for himself.

Jiang Weiyan raised his hand to caress his face, in front of him was the person he had dreamed about for a long time, the person he could let go of a lot of troubles as long as he thought about it, and the eucalyptus he cherished most.

He leaned closer, pressed his slightly warm lips to Thyme's forehead, and kissed reverently and cherishingly.

"I just want to take you home."

***

Although it is summer, it is not normal to sit on the eaves and talk for hours late at night.

The next morning, when Bai Lian woke up, he felt uncomfortable, his throat was dry and burning, and his head was groggy. He didn't know if he had caught a cold.

"Master, I'm going to court today, why don't I just wear this one." Feng Zhi took a purple robe.

"Row."

"Master, why is your voice so hoarse? Are you suffering from a cold?"

"Maybe." Baili Eucalyptus coughed a few times, poured a glass of water to moisten his throat, "Let's go prepare the car."

"Master, why don't you ask for leave, your body is important."

Bai Lian rubbed his sore temples, took the outer robe and put it on, "No, I have to go to discuss the solid defense of the five marginal cities this morning."

The wind couldn't hold back against him.

Bai Lian hadn't shown his face in the morning for a long time, and he didn't like such occasions very much before.Because he is the crown prince, whenever he deals with officials, there are always people who want to curry favor with him, and he has to deal with hypocrisy because of his status as the crown prince.

Now he is just the former crown prince who was deposed and the unfavorable King Jing. Except for a few officials who came to say hello to him sincerely, the others just saluted casually and let it go.

On the other hand, the place where Bailixi was located was completely surrounded.

Bailixi wouldn't be able to deal with this kind of situation, it looked so pitiful.Bai Lian called out at the right time: "Xiao Xi."

The cry of "Xiao Xi" moved Baili Xie for a moment, he pushed aside the officials around him, and ran towards Baili'an with a jump.

"Brother!" He hugged Baili'an's arm, "Brother, you are finally back, the homework left by the Taifu is too difficult, and I will go to court in a while, brother, please teach me?"

Bai Lian smiled and patted his head, "Okay. Now he is also a prince, and he can't always act like a child with his elder brother."

Baili Xi clings even tighter, muttering: "Why not? I just love being with my brother, and I want my brother."

Baili Eucalyptus said helplessly: "You have entered the palace, pay attention to your manners."

Although the five marginal cities were brought down by Jiang Weiyan, now Chu Lin is in charge.Chu Lin came from Jiang Lao Hou Ye's hands, but he is actually a member of the emperor. Anyone who knows this can see that the emperor intends to reduce the Jiang family's military power.

However, Old Master Jiang's reputation is well-known among the people, and the name of "God of War" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is loved by thousands of people in Yunsui.Now the Jiang family can only be restrained by "house arrest" Jiang Weiyan.

Jiang Weiyan stood on one side without saying a word, while Bai Lian on the other side also closed his eyes and remained silent, his face pale and calm.

"I believe that even though Great Liang has been repelled, the defenses of the five marginal cities still cannot be slackened. It has been half a year, and the five marginal cities have not yet returned to their normal life. Although the number of refugees has decreased, it is still a big problem. The five cities have no backbone. , the local officials were corrupt and embezzled the imperial court's disaster relief funds. Due to the high terrain, bad weather, little grain harvest, and poor people's lives, they often needed the court to allocate food to maintain marginal life." The prime minister said, "The most urgent thing is to send The new governor goes to the margins to clean up the margins."

Bai Liyi said: "The prime minister's words are reasonable, but is Aiqing willing?"

The officials below looked around and whispered: "This..."

Listening to the whispering behind him, Bai Lian lowered his head and smiled silently.

The margins are far away from Bianjing, and the five cities are in a mess, waiting to be rebuilt. It is not too much to say that there are barren mountains and mountains, and going there is no different from being demoted to barbarians.

If you want to rebuild the margins back to what they were a few years ago, it will be impossible to do it in three to five years.

Stay in Bianjing to enjoy the prosperity and wealth, or go to the edge to experience the hardships of people's livelihood, what a choice.

"I am willing." Du Zhi Lang's words startled half of the court.

Bai Lian looked towards the source of the sound, just in time to meet Doctor Duzhi's sight.

Baili Yi smiled brightly, "Gao Aiqing volunteered, I am very pleased, I agreed."

"It's just that I don't have enough ability, and I'm afraid that I won't manage well and fail the trust of the emperor." Gao Yuan bowed, "I heard that His Royal Highness King Jing once stayed in the border for a while, and he is well versed in the way of controlling people. Minister one or two?"

It turned out to be waiting for him here.

Du Zhi Lang Zhong Gao Yuan is the cousin of the current Concubine Shu, and many people in the court will more or less give him a bad face.When Bai Lian was still the prince, the two faced each other day in and day out.Gao Yuan wished that Baili'an would get off his horse tomorrow, but Baili'an didn't care about his targeting, after all, he was the one who silenced each other every time.

According to Feng Zhi, on the second night after he was deposed, there were fireworks outside for a long time, which made him angry.

At first, Bai Lian thought it was the officials who didn't like him and set off fireworks in front of his house to celebrate. Later, he found out that it was the Lantern Festival.

After he became a privy envoy, the two sides must meet and discuss.As long as they meet, the faces of the two people seem to be going to the other's grave, and they will inevitably have a few strange words when they talk, but it's a pity that Bai Lian won the victory in the end.

Bai Lian looked at Gao Yuan's face and wanted to sneer, but fortunately it was in the main hall, otherwise the two of them would have already quarreled with each other.

The way of bullshit to control people.

Baili Eucalyptus sneered in his heart, he was really tireless.

He asked: "Doctor Du Zhi mean that I want the king to go to the edge with me?"

"The humble minister also wants to do his part for the Great Xia's country, and I hope His Highness will not think the humble minister is dull."

It's hard to say this.

"Since you also know that you are stupid, then don't go." Bai Lian said slowly, "If I go alone, it will take about three years to rectify the margins, but if I bring you, I will spend an extra time." I will teach you with all my heart. If you are extremely stupid, then this king will have to spend a little more time, and I am afraid that after three years, the margin will still be the same as it is now."

lofty:"……"

Hearing faint laughter, Bai Lian was afraid that if he continued talking, this morning would become a place where the two of them fought each other.

Bai Liyi warned in a deep voice: "King Jing."

"I made a slip of the tongue." His apology could not be seen at all, and Bai Lian said again, "It's just that the reconstruction of the border is the most important thing, how can it be a joke? I know that I have little talent and a little learning. , Father also knows that this son-in-law has not recuperated well since his serious illness three years ago, and it is really difficult for him to take on the big responsibility."

Bai Liyi: "..."

It seems that Baili Eucalyptus is going to stab a few people today.

Bai Lian turned his head to meet Shang Jiang Weiyan's eyes, and said, "I don't know if Young Master Jiang is willing? The five marginal cities were brought down by the young Lord, and it's up to you to guard them. It's reasonable."

"Baili Eucalyptus!" Baili Yi jumped up against the table.
