Chapter 73
Chapter 73
half year later.
The days are gradually entering winter, the plum blossoms outside the Xuanjing Palace are in bloom, and the little prince has also learned to walk.
Walking unsteadily, wobbly.
At this time, Er Gouzi finally had a sense of reliability. He accompanied the little prince to learn to walk every day. In the early morning of this day, Yan Ji sat under the plum blossoms and made tea with Xie Wenzhuo. Not long after, he heard a groan beside him. With a sound, the little prince came over while grabbing the fur on Er Gouzi's back, and the latter trembling his ears, carefully following his footsteps.
Next to it is Goudan, who is walking obediently.
Yan Ji put down the teacup: "Come."
Er Gouzi's eyes lit up, but he still took care of the little prince. When he got to Yan Ji's side, the little prince threw himself into Yan Ji's arms happily. Yan Ji picked him up, and reached out to pat Er Gouzi and Goudandan's heads :"really not bad."
Er Gouzi and Goudandan shook their hairs, and the little prince giggled.
"So happy?" Yan Ji looked at him with a smile: "Come, call Father Emperor."
The little prince bit his finger and bent his eyes: "Must hang."
"Father."
"Fu Fang."
"Father."
"The emperor."
"..."
"Okay, it's the emperor." Yan Ji lowered his head and rubbed the little prince's face, pointing at Grand Tutor Xie: "Then what's the baby's name?"
The little prince took a look and giggled, "It's too vague."
"anything else?"
The little prince stopped talking, bit his fingers and lowered his head into Yan Ji's arms, just smiled, Xie Wenzhuo stood up and reached out to touch his fluffy hair, helplessly: "Little heartless."
Yan Ji hugged the little prince tightly: "Teacher Xie is old and hated by others. He is not as beautiful as a young man. How pitiful. Why don't you hurry up and please me? I am happy. Maybe I can leave a place for Taifu, how about it?"
"It makes sense." Xie Wenzhuo lowered his head and hugged him and the little prince together, rubbing his head against Yan Ji's neck, his voice was low and soft: "Your Majesty, I feel so uncomfortable, I especially need your Majesty to hug me, Okay, huh?"
Yanji's ears are a little red.
The child is still there, what is this for, shameless?
The shameless Mrs. Xie flashed a smile in his eyes, and then did something even more shameless: "As for flattery, I think it's best to come at night..."
cough.
Yan Ji quickly covered the little prince's ears with his hands and eyes, raised his head and stared at him, Xie Wenzhuo smiled, kissed his eyes the moment Yan Ji raised his head, and got up: "So, would you like to leave the seat next to your majesty's pillow to the minister?" Next, I really want to..."
Give, give, give whatever you want.
Yan Ji gave up on herself and leaned back: "The tea is about to be brewed, why don't you take a look?"
Xie Wenzhuo said yes in his ear, smiled, and turned off the tea stove.
After drinking tea, Yan Ji went to the Imperial Study Room. Six volumes of today's memorial books had been delivered, and there was a pile of them on the desk. He opened one at random, all of which were news from the border.
In the past six months, the conquest has not stopped.
After Chifang Daqi sent a letter of war, he united Nanyue and Chang Yao in the name of a prophet to confuse Fuxun and Jingzhang, and attacked the neighboring countries with the power of the five countries. In addition to the previous west inheritance, although the power of the four countries is less than that of the Chifang side, the Daqi is strong and prosperous, and it can be regarded as evenly matched.
In this way, the situation has been dragging on, and there has been no progress for half a year.
Daqi has accumulated a lot in the century-old prosperity, and he can survive, but Chifang can't afford it.So Chifang started to do things as written in the memorial. The prophet predicted again that Daqi’s luck would be exhausted. This is the destiny. , should give up working with Daqi, and obeying the destiny is the best policy.
——In fact, it is to deceive people, and public opinion attacks the policy.
Yanji sighed.
Half a year ago, it was said that the luck was damaged, but now it is said that the luck is about to be exhausted, which is also terrible.
Some people still believe it.
This is also normal, Daqi has accumulated great prestige over the years, the division of the thirteen battalions of tigers and wolves is invincible, especially the White Tiger Camp, who knows that the commander of the White Tiger Camp, He Ji, has been famous all over the world for more than ten years. .
But it is such a powerful Daqi, such an invincible master of tigers and wolves, and such a stunning and talented He Ji, not only failed to win, but also lost in the past six months. Although there were no losses or casualties, the myth of invincibility is still was broken.
——Isn't this the end of life, or what?
Yan Ji put down the memorial: "How do the people and soldiers react to this?"
"I know in my heart how the people have been living these years, it's just a rumor." Xie Wenzhuo said: "There is nothing wrong with the generals, He Ji is indeed a great talent, and 30 soldiers will follow him. It never faded away."
"He has such courage." Yan Ji smiled: "The soldiers believed in him, so they lived and died together, and the people believed in him, so they could completely treat it as a rumor. Similarly, I also believed in him, so I dared to live and die and the lives of millions of subjects are entrusted to him."
The big vinegar bucket Xie Taifu was not jealous, and he nodded in agreement.
On the contrary, Shao He was very puzzled: "Your Majesty, looking at the things you wrote on weekdays, I clearly expected the strategy of Chi Fang's marching troops, but why did you think of it but didn't use it, but made General He deliberately back down? Isn't this a bit... ...grow other people's aspirations and destroy your own prestige?"
Yan Ji touched his nose, fell silent for a while, and said, "Xiao Shaohe can talk like that, did he learn from Lin Yin?"
After all, when Shao He blushed and looked over with aggrievedness, he smiled: "Let me tell you a story. It was also a matter of war between the two countries. At the beginning, the two sides were evenly matched, and they were very cautious and stalemate. At this time, one side suddenly has a tendency to weaken, losing streak and retreating."
"After doing this several times, the other side gradually believed that the battle was a foregone conclusion, and the original cautiousness no longer existed. After a period of time, it finally came to the final and complete decision of success or failure. That is, in this battle, the original weak The other side is suddenly invincible, the formation is exquisite, and the attack is surrounded by four directions...Who wins and who loses, I don't say, you should know."
Shao He suddenly realized, looked at Yan Ji with bright eyes, no longer asked, but murmured in a low voice when he went out: "Your Majesty is really smart, he can plan strategies for things that haven't happened, and he can guess very accurately, just like the It’s like seeing everything with my own eyes.”
The tone was that of an idiot fan, but it made Yan Ji's heart skip a beat instantly.
He hurriedly lowered his head, pretending to be nonchalant and opened the memorial. Xie Wenzhuo stood by and looked at him, smiling lightly.
Chifang country.
Yun Muzhi looked at the battle report of his subordinates: "Win, what about the casualties?"
The person in front of him wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "There are very few deaths, but as many as 600 people were slightly injured and seriously injured, and the Chifang, Chifang...casualties are unknown."
Yun Muzhi frowned: "Huh?"
The general trembled, he was terribly afraid of this moody emperor: "He Ji is really cunning, he set a trap before retreating, causing many wounded in our army, and the Chifang White Tiger Camp has always had the practice of collecting corpses after battles. It was going so fast, so casualties...are hard to know."
This is indeed He Ji's usual method.
Seeing that he was not angry, the general was relieved a little, and said: "But it is a good thing that he won anyway. The world knows that He Ji is the god of war, but now it seems that although he has some talents, he is not as invincible as the rumors , now it is considered that Chi Fang wins a lot, and with the fact that Prophet Bai predicts things like a god, Your Majesty, victory is what everyone expects, and it is just around the corner."
Hearing what he said, a faint smile appeared on Yun Muzhi's lips.
The current situation was actually within his expectations. This time he declared war on Daqi, he marched and set up his formations according to the methods of the previous Yanji step by step. He knew himself and the enemy, so he couldn't help struggling.
He raised his head: "Let's step back, let the soldiers recharge their batteries, and there will be tough battles to fight in the future, so don't be careless."
Pianjiang agreed and backed out, Yun Muzhi relaxed and leaned back, for a long time, he didn't know what to think of, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, triumphant and vicious.
……
How Yun Muzhi is thinking now is not within Yanji's concern.
At this time, he was seriously discussing a question with Xie Wenzhuo - who is the little prince more like.
It's strange to say that when the little prince's full moon just bloomed, he didn't look like Yan Zhou or Zhou Mengjun, but he looked very much like Yan Ji, or the former emperor Yan Jianing. The reason why the little prince's life experience is deeply believed.
It's clear at a glance, what else are you doing?
But now that half a year has passed, the more Yan Ji looked at the little prince, the more he felt that the latter was very similar to Grand Tutor Xie, especially the dignified temperament of a well-dressed beast revealed in his eyebrows and eyes from time to time.
This will not work.
Yan Ji was very dissatisfied: "Tell me, did you secretly instill some bad thoughts in Tangtang without telling me?"
Tangtang is the little prince's nickname, and it doesn't have any source of magnanimity. The simple fact is that when they talked about the baby name that day, Yan Ji turned around and saw the crabapple flower outside the window by accident.
Grand Tutor Xie is very innocent: "How can I instill any bad things in children? Even if I want to say these bad things, I will only say them to Your Majesty."
...the old rascal.
Yan Ji covered the little prince's ears, motioned Shao He to take him out to play with Er Gouzi, and then frowned: "I just want to think that Tangtang will sit on it with a smile like you in the future, and give it to me quietly." The appearance of other people falling into the trap makes me feel that the courtiers are really very pitiful."
"Poor." Yan Ji sighed, but there was no trace of guilt on his face.
Xie Wenzhuo laughed, stepped forward and hugged him: "Does Your Majesty feel that the minister is not pitiful?"
What's so pitiful about you, a well-dressed beast?
Seeing the meaning in Yan Ji's eyes clearly, Xie Wenzhuo used such a noble and glamorous expression to support Yan Ji, solemnly: "Your Majesty has not let the minister touch me for many days, and the minister has not lived well." Serving His Majesty, I feel guilty and miserable, it is really pitiful."
"..." Yan Ji was dumbfounded, and Goudan Dan, who came to watch at the door, was dumbfounded.
Xie Wenzhuo smiled, with a heart of stone, he drove Goudan out and closed the doors and windows, walked towards Yanji step by step with a smile, and leaned over: "So, instead of thinking about those courtiers, your majesty should feel sorry for the ministers first, eh? "
Well, well, you will tease you to have the final say.
Yan Ji sighed that he had been completely exhausted in this life, raised his arms to cover his eyes, and for a moment, felt that his whole body was completely covered by the scorching temperature.
And what happens after that, and for how long.
I can't help him anymore.
