Troubled Times Survival Raiders

Zhou Kuang was indeed getting older, and he felt more and more weak in handling government affairs. Before he left, he also recommended his students in detail in the playbook.Fortunately, the imperial court has also poured in a lot of talents in the past few years. The martial arts and imperial examinations, plus the veterans who retired during the Xuanqing and Jianning years returned to the mountains, at least they are not as stretched as they were two years ago.

In the fifth year of Ming Xuan, the development of Daqi was orderly, and there was a sense of tension.

In the spring of the sixth year, the first transfer order issued by Wu Junyi was that Shen Yu, the prefect of Guangzhou, had made meritorious service and had repeatedly made meritorious service, so he was transferred to Dengzhou.

Dengzhou is just a small state. It is said that Shen Yu was transferred here from Guangzhou, which is regarded as a downgrade, but there is a sentence at the end of the edict: add Prince Zhan Shi, and give Dr. Yinqing Guanglu.

That's a big deal.Regardless of Dr. Yinqing Guanglu's loose official rank, Prince Zhan Shi is a real official. From the third rank, there has never been a precedent for a foreign official. What's more, Shen Yu, who was made an exception, is only 23 years old this year, and he has not even reached his thirties.

However, regarding this paper, the court unexpectedly remained silent, even Yushitai, who had always loved to disagree with the emperor and looked down on leapfrog promotion, was no exception.

The reason is that Shen Yu's achievements in Guangzhou and the emperor's grace are obvious to all.

And even though Shen Yu was far away from court, because of his good popularity, many people were willing to stand up and speak for him.

Once, the imperial censor impeached Shen Yu for being unrighteous and fond of men, citing his visits to certain places in Guangzhou, the head of his line in the state government, and the fact that he has not married a wife so far.In the next few days, Wu Junyi's table case became a mess, one side was Yu Shitai's impeachment, and the rest were all kinds of courtiers' rebuttals for Shen Yu.

The first ones who couldn't sit still were Guo Yi, Yang Feng, and Chen Hongpeng, who were of the same age. The honest man Yang Feng all stated in the memorial that there must be evidence for impeachment by the censor.Then came Zhou Kuang's students and Shen Yu's seniors.They are willing to guarantee Shen Yu's character with their teachers: if they teach the kind of students that the censor said, how should their teachers and them deal with themselves?In the end, even the king of Chu stood up and accused Yu Shitai of not going too far.

With credit, holy family, good karma, and even the prince's guarantee, who would dare to provoke him?

But now that such a person is transferred to the border, a fool can guess what Wu Junyi is planning, so it is even more inappropriate to speak.I was worried about whether Shen Yu, a civil servant, could stand it in the front line, but that was another matter.

Wu Junyi has decreed to formally appoint King Wei as the emperor's younger brother.Wu Junzuo is already nine years old and extremely intelligent.Under the foreshadowing of the past few years, and Wu Junyi's harem is still empty, the courtiers also accepted this decree.

However, Wu Junyi's next will was not so easy to accept: Yujia's personal conquest.

From Guangzhou to Dengzhou, Shen Yu had no time to relax and exhausted, so he hurriedly ordered people to count the soldiers and horses in the city, instructed the craftsmen to make new weapons and keep firearms, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to practice hard and recruit troops for battle.

What Wu Junyi meant, he couldn't understand it too well. Since he was transferred to Guangzhou in the third year of Mingxuan, they didn't even meet each other in two or three years, but it was all for Daqi, for the people of Daqi, and it didn't affect the two of them at all. People are connected.

Today's Daqi is completely different from a year ago: a large number of firearms are produced and transported to various places. Now Dengzhou is full of Thunderbolt guns, and there are many guns and fire mines piled up in the warehouse.And the food in various places no longer needs the imperial court to open special warehouses for disaster relief.The money transported by sea is handed over to the national treasury year after year, and it is replaced by the best horses of the soldiers, the elite wielding them, and the meat far exceeding the quota for soldiers.

The actions of Wu Junyili's eldest brother have clearly told him: it's time.

Not long after Shen Yu took office, he received the news that His Majesty's imperial chariot was coming.

This is not an easy task.Although Da Qi also had a precedent for the Tai/Zu to conquer the world on horseback, after a long period of peace, the emperors who were imprisoned in the imperial city were no longer emperors on horseback, especially in the Yingzong Dynasty, who loved literati , Let the courtiers have a stereotype.So much so that when Wu Junyi proposed the royal conquest, most people thought it was his whim and nonsense.

What's more, the emperor's younger brother Wu Junzuo is too young and is still studying classics and history, and Wu Junyi's chosen supervisor is the King of Chu.

The king of Chu studied with the current majesty when he was young, and his literary and martial arts were not under the emperor.Now that the emperor's royal conquest is in person, if there is an emergency, how can the young emperor's younger brother be against the vassal king in his prime?

Although it is not particularly appropriate to register as the emperor's younger brother, it is more legitimate than the succession of an uncle.

Grieving for a turbulent tragedy that was about to happen, most people wrote to oppose it, and even made alarmist remarks: "Your Majesty, don't you know that the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu and Chu are fighting?" The spearhead was directed at the King of Chu.

Wu Junyi didn't mean to be joking at all.He followed Deng Xian to learn riding and archery since he was a child, and exercised his body for this day.

Although most people are opposed to it, there are also a few people who support or acquiesce: such as Deng Xian.Zhang Jue also opposed it at first, but after trying Wu Junyi's skills himself, he didn't say anything more.

According to Wu Junyi's arrangement, this time Zhang Jue will make a unified layout in Beijing and allocate grain and grass.Deng Xian went out with him.This is because he and Deng Xian have a teacher-student relationship, and their tacit understanding with each other is far better than others.When marching and fighting, the more tacit understanding between generals and generals, the better.On the other hand, it is also because of Deng Xian's reputation among the people: to this day, the name of Grandpa Deng still scares countless Xianbei people.

To the courtiers' questioning, he also asked mercilessly: "What is Wu? What is Chu? The king of Chu is also the Wu family. Besides, the Wu army won five battles and five victories, and went straight to Yingdu!"

Yingdu is the capital of Chu State. With the help of Wu Zixu, Wu Wanghelu reached an agreement with Cai Zhaohou and Tang Chenggong to attack Chu together. They were invincible and forced Chu Zhaowang to flee.

Wu Junyi cited this example, no need to say more about his determination.

It's a pity that Wu Junyi's arrangement was quite good, but the King of Chu was unwilling.

Wu Muhao is of course a smart man. During the Ming Dynasty, he was low-key and cautious. He went through the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment. He tried his best not to make mistakes and not to be picked on.And he and his wife, Qin Se, lived in harmony, had children, and lived a very comfortable life.But now he wants to become the target of public criticism and be roasted on the fire, how can he be willing?

Wu Junyi personally invited the King of Chu into the Wenhua Palace, and the two argued for a long time.In the end, Wu Junyi said earnestly: "Uncle, please think about the country. I will conquer the world for the sake of the whole world, and there must be someone in the court to stabilize the government. San Lang is young, who else can take on this important task except the uncle?"

"Your Majesty can ask the emperor's younger brother to supervise the country, and the empress dowager will assist the government." Wu Muhao replied.

It is also customary for the young emperor to succeed to the throne and be assisted by the empress dowager.

But Wu Junyi said: "I have already established the rule that the harem should not interfere in politics, how can I break it myself? The emperor's younger brother is still young, and you will do your part to supervise the country."

The emperor's younger brother is too young for the queen mother, and another emperor's uncle, King Yu, passed away two years ago.Indeed, there was no one to be found.

"I have known you since we were young, and we studied together. You have always taken care of me. Those days are always in my heart." Wu Junyi suddenly changed his name, and he fixedly looked at Wu Muhao, "I can't trust other people's talents, either. Only you, I can rest assured. This battle must be fought and won, will you help me?"

His expression instantly reminded people of Wu Junyi when he was a child.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had just returned to the palace from the private sector looked at the courtiers with vigilance and distance. At that time, it was Wu Muhao who stretched out his hand first.

This time, if Wu Junyi took the initiative, Wu Muhao still stretched out his hand, "I accept the order."

"You must fulfill your mission."

Wu Junyi entrusted the emperor's younger brother and the government to the King of Chu, and personally led the cavalry to march north.

The closer the time gets, the more nervous it gets.After all, two or three years have passed between them. Although there are letters, it is really a drop in the bucket for the young man's miss.

In Shen Yu's spare time, it was inevitable that her thoughts would wander.Of course he believed in Wu Junyi's sincerity, and when he heard that Wu Junyi was the emperor's younger brother, he vowed not to marry him.

But...he was still worried.What if, what if Wu Junyi only likes him in the past?

During the two or three years in Guangzhou, Shen Yu has also undergone tremendous changes. She has grown a little taller, and has been riding around on horseback all day. She is stronger and tanned.More importantly, during the time he was released, he learned many not-so-glamorous methods, and he also had a lot of blood on his hands, and even killed him.He is no longer... the incomparably handsome and pure-minded number one scholar in Wenyuan Pavilion.

However, these thoughts disappeared at the moment of meeting.

At the foot of Dengzhou city, Zhizhou Shen Yu led his officials out of the city to greet him. From a distance, he could see the flag embroidered with "Qi" waving in the wind.The person at the head of the queue rode a black horse and galloped away from the team behind him.

Shen Yu recognized Wu Li, and before the others could react, she took the lead in bowing down: "My minister, Shen Yu, is joining His Majesty!"

The subordinates bowed down one after another. However, the person who was the first to react had not had time to bend down, and was already supported by a pair of hands, "Why should Shen Qing be so polite, the sun is scorching, why not go to the city and explain it in detail."

Wu Junyi held those hands and never let go.

Shen Yu blushed, but had to force herself to be calm, "Your Majesty, first pay respects to the adults who came with you, and then enter the city." The army was still behind, and they entered the city, what happened?

As he spoke, he still tried to pull his hand out, but Wu Junyi was not going to let go at all, but instead pulled him closer.

"Shen Qing's face is blushing, so hurry up and bring the canopy." Wu Junyi said deliberately.

In fact, Wu Junyi is the imperial conquest, and I came all the way here on horseback. I didn't prepare any canopy, but I just said it to tease Shen Yu. Seeing his cheeks flushed, his heart was itchy, and his fingers even lightly hooked on the opponent's palm. .

Shen Yu's earlobes were also red, he hurriedly broke free, and saluted Deng Xian and others, "Please enter the city, Your Majesty!"

When they arrived at the state government office, the screen backed away, Wu Junyi never let Shen Yu go, his soft lips rolled over every inch of Shen Yu's cheeks, until they went down and unbuttoned the neckline. "Don't, I still need to see someone later, Your Majesty—woo!"

Wu Junyi's eyes seemed to be on fire, and his smile was a little angry and evil, "Have you forgotten my name after walking for so long, Bojin?"

As he spoke, he tore off Shen Yu's outer pants.
