Chapter 85 (7.18)

Chu Yu didn't speak, she stared at the eldest princess quietly, at this moment, she seemed to see that she was kneeling in front of the palace gate, the eldest princess tidied up her clothes, put her hair behind her ears, and said the sentence, "This palace is going to fight. The battle has never been lost."

The women looked at each other quietly, and both parties seemed to see the wind rising from the eyes of the other.

The eldest princess saw what she wanted in Chu Yu's eyes, and Chu Yu also saw her revenge in the eyes of the eldest princess.

"Do you believe it?"

After a long time, the eldest princess said with a calm expression: "Would you like to believe me?"

Chu Yu didn't say a word, she let go of the eldest princess's hand and stood up. The eldest princess' eyes fell on her, with a little fluctuation in her eyes. Then she saw her take two steps back, leaving a distance between the two of them, kneeling on her knees, her sleeves stretched out, her hands folded in front of her, and she bent over to touch her head to the ground.

The eldest princess followed Chu Yu's movements, her eyes were deep, Chu Yu knelt on the ground and said calmly, "I am willing to follow my lord."

The eldest princess stood up and said calmly, "Zhao Yue will let Wei Yun go to the north, but you have to stay."

"I know."

"I'm here," the eldest princess's hand fell on her forehead, looking directly in front of the door. The cool satin fell on the edge of her cheek, Chu Yu felt the temperature on the top of her forehead, and heard her calmly say: "Keep your family safe."

When Chu Yu went to Qifeng Palace, Wei Yun was led by the eunuch to the imperial study.

Zhao Yue was practicing calligraphy in the room. After Wei Yun came in, he raised his head and smiled gently: "Is the little prince here?"

He asked without the air of an emperor, as if he was just a face of the eldest princess' mansion, with a light and soft smile.

Wei Yun gave a respectful gift, and Zhao Yue hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Aiqing, please get up quickly."

"Weichen sees that the car is late, and asks His Majesty to forgive me."

Wei Yun lowered his head and said, covering the emotions in his eyes, Zhao Yue sighed: "Aiqing entered the enemy thousands of miles alone, and the position is in chaos, I am too late to be grateful, how can I blame it?"

Saying that, Zhao Yue greeted Wei Yun to sit down and said, "Sit down first, I also know that you have just come back, so you must be tired. It's just that I have many questions that I want to ask urgently, so I can only make you tired."

"Dedicating to the country is what the minister should have done."

Zhao Yue nodded in satisfaction, and without saying anything else, she began to ask Wei Yun about going to Beidi.

He asked meticulously, the route of Beidi city, the customs, all the details to be asked.

Wei Yun is the official who has been to the deepest part of Bei Di so far. In the past, most of the knowledge about Bei Di came from the merchants who came and went. However, the number of merchants on both sides was not large, and it was difficult for some merchants who knew Bei Di well. The consideration of the past has been concealed, coupled with the change of time, most of the past information is not timely and detailed enough. Therefore, for so many years, Da Chu has been in passive defense.

At present, the most important thing about the enemy is the military situation. Both Wei Yun and Zhao Yue automatically blocked Yao Yong and other matters, and firstly exchanged the information on the battlefield clearly. After such a question and answer, it was late at night, and after Zhao Yue asked everything clearly, he sighed and said, "As you said, Su Cha and Su Can have always fought each other, and the tribes of Beidi are at odds with each other, then Bei Di will retreat on the Great Chu, I'm afraid it will be a matter of time."

"I'm sure of letting them retreat," Wei Yun looked at Zhao Yue, as if he had forgotten everything, and said earnestly, "But Your Majesty thinks, this time, is it enough to just let them retreat?"

Zhao Yue didn't speak. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea. After a while, he smiled softly: "Then what else do you want to do?"

"They deceived me so much. It's enough if they just go back. After they rest, won't they come back?"

"You want them to pay for it."

"Shouldn't it be?"

The two looked at each other quietly, Zhao Yue didn't make a sound, and after a while, he lowered his head and rushed the boiling water to the tea leaves.

He has always loved making tea, and now he has brought the habit to the palace.

"Do you know how much it will cost to keep fighting?"

Wei Yun pursed his lips: "Beidi has used force against us all the year round because they have almost no food and grass, and they can grab it wherever they go."

"You want that too?"

Zhao Yue looked up at him, and Wei Yun nodded: "The people behind Bei Di are relatively scattered. We will defeat them one by one. In fact, we don't need much troops. Your Majesty only needs to give me horses and people, and I will solve the problem of food and grass."

Zhao Yue didn't speak, he seemed to be thinking, Wei Yun looked at him: "Does your Majesty plan to fight Bei Di every once in a while, or solve the problem once?"

Zhao Yue was still silent, he put the tea in front of Wei Yun, Wei Yun continued: "Okay, then, if this minister doesn't say this, doesn't your majesty have any idea? Country, what an achievement it will be to merge Chen Country into the country! Does your Majesty have no idea of ​​becoming a sage?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yue's expression moved.

Any emperor hopes that he can become the legendary emperor through the ages, but the first emperor is in front, this is too difficult to do, so it is not bad to be the second best.

Land and territory are always the standard by which an emperor is measured, and even a person like Zhao Yue will inevitably be moved.

However, after thinking for a while, he still said: "I think I can wait a few more years."

He knocked on the table and said slowly: "Now I and Gu Chusheng are working hard to solve the financial and people's livelihood in the rear. On the battlefield, in fact, as long as the war can be stopped, I don't make too many demands..."

"I have a request."

Wei Yun spoke coldly, Zhao Yue looked up at him, and said slowly, "Want to take revenge?"

Wei Yun changed his face, Zhao Yue laughed out loud: "Little Marquis, you are still too young, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, why can't Little Marquis wait any longer?"

What are you waiting for?

For a moment, the sentence almost blurted out, but Wei Yun stopped it. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "My family feud, except for Yao Yong, was over when I lit the sky lantern for half a month in Beidi Palace. If it was for family feud, why should I truce at this moment? , to trouble with Yao Yong?"

Zhao Yue looked at Wei Yun, and he accepted such a reason.

He felt hypocritical for too bright and stalwart reasons.

Wei Yun saw the approval in Zhao Yue's eyes, and continued: "I insist on fighting because this moment is the best time. Now that Su Cha and Su Can are in civil strife, all the ministries have also responded to my harassment last month. The Beidi Royal Court is dissatisfied. To tell the truth to His Majesty, before I left, I checked the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts, and I know whether this battle can be fought or not."

Zhao Yue had a smile on his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes, Wei Yun didn't care, he stared at him: "The reason why Your Majesty is unwilling to continue fighting is not because I am afraid that I will develop myself at the border and cause harm to you. Threat?"

Zhao Yue frowned: "Who did you hear these words from? You are a famous general in the future, and you have an honest mind. I won't be so suspicious of you."

"Your Majesty," Wei Yun lowered his head and took a sip of tea, "why do you say these pretentious words when the two of us are here?"

"I fought Huajing on the spot, and Yao Yong was designed by me. Your Majesty's throne is not fair. It's ridiculous that you can talk to me in such a serious way, right?"

"You're right."

Zhao Yue's words were all cold, but she kept smiling and said, "Then what are you going to do?"

"The first thing, I want Yao Yong's head."

Zhao Yue tapped on the table and nodded: "I planned to deal with this person and send it to you."

"Second thing, I want His Majesty to consecrate my sister-in-law as a first-class official, and give her all the military merit she deserves."

Not expecting Wei Yun to make this request, Zhao Yue was a little stunned. After a long time, he smiled slowly: "Okay. This is no problem."

"The third thing," Wei Yun stared at him: "I want His Majesty to cooperate fully, not to mention destroying Bei Di, at least killing Bei Di for more than ten years will not restore his vitality, and will not be able to harass Da Chu."

Zhao Yue turned her head and looked out the window, her mouth full of mockery.

"Wei Yun," he said lightly, "who gave you the courage to sit down with me and raise the price?"
