Mountain and River Pillow: Chapter 85 （7.18）

Chu Yu did not 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 and put her hair behind her ears, Saying that "the battle that this palace is going to fight, I have never lost".

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

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

"Do you believe it?"

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

Chu Yu didn't say anything, she let go of the eldest princess' hand and stood up. Then I saw her take two steps back, leaving a distance between the two, kneeling on both knees, spreading out her sleeves, folded her hands in front of her, and bent 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 put her hand on the top of 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 **** to the imperial study.

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

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

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

"Weichen sees that he is late, please 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?"

Speaking, 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 I want to ask urgently, so I can only Tired you."

"Serving the country is what the minister should do."

Zhao Yue nodded with 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 understanding of Bei Di came from the merchants, but the number of merchants on both sides is not large, and it is difficult for some businessmen who know Bei Di well , and will conceal some things out of their own considerations, 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 the moment the enemy, the most important thing is the military situation. Both Wei Yun and Zhao Yue automatically blocked Yao Yong and other matters, and first 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 to let them retreat," Wei Yun looked at Zhao Yue, as if he had forgotten everything, and said seriously, "But Your Majesty thinks that this time, it's enough to just let them retreat. ?"

Zhao Yue did not speak. He lowered his head and sipped his 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."

"Shouldn't it be?"

The two looked at each other quietly, Zhao Yue did not make a sound, 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 uses force against us all the year round because they hardly bring food and grass, and they can grab it wherever they go."

"You want that too?"

Zhao Yue looked up at him, Wei Yun nodded: "The people behind Beidi are 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, food and grass. , I will solve it myself."

Zhao Yue did not 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 remained silent, he put the tea in front of Wei Yun, Wei Yun continued: "Okay, that minister doesn't say this, doesn't your majesty have any ideas? , If the Great Chu can destroy the Chen country and merge the Chen country into the country, what kind of achievement will this be! Don't your majesty have the 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 a good idea to create a prosperous world to be praised by others.

The country and territory are always the standard for measuring an emperor, even a person like Zhao Yue is inevitably 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 said coldly, Zhao Yue looked up at him, and said slowly, "Want to take revenge?"

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

Wait for what?

For a moment, this sentence almost blurted out, but Wei Yun stopped it. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "My family feud, except for Yao Yong, ended 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 this reason.

The reason is too bright, he feels hypocritical.

Wei Yun saw the approval in Zhao Yue's eyes, and continued: "I insist on fighting because this moment is the best time. Now Su Cha and Su Can are in civil strife, and all the ministries are in my hands. I was also dissatisfied with the Beidi Royal Court under the harassment last month. 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 her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes, Wei Yun didn't care, he stared straight at him: "The reason why Your Majesty does not want to continue fighting is not because he is afraid of me Does developing yourself at the border pose a threat to you?"

Zhao Yue frowned: "Who did you listen to these words? You are a future famous general, and you have an honest mind. I will not suspect you like this."

"Your Majesty," Wei Yun lowered his head and took a sip of tea: "The two of us are here, so why bother to say these pretentious words?"

"I fought Huajing on the spot, and Yao Yong was designed by me. Your Majesty's throne is not fair. You have such a means to the throne, and you have such a serious talk with me. Is it funny?"

"You're right."

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

"First thing, I want Yao Yong's head."

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

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

I didn't expect 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 Your Majesty to cooperate fully, not to mention destroying Bei Di, at least killing Bei Di for more than ten years before he can recover his vitality, and cannot harass the emperor. 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?"
