Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1765 Returning to Yanbei, Father and Son Talk at Night

It has been rainy in Hedong recently, but in Yanbei, the sky is full of stars and the place is as quiet as water.

It has been nine months since Wang Yu left Yanbei, and he finally set out to return to Yanbei again.

Wang Yu boarded the troop transport vehicle from Hedong, headed east, and then north, only stopping for a few days when passing through Hebei Road.

Hebei Province has suffered greatly from war in recent years.

Among the four river areas, Hebei Province has been hit hardest by the war in recent years.

Moreover, he was also responsible for the important task of supporting the Zhendong Army together with Yanbei Dao.

Fortunately, the governor of Hebei Province was a political talent like Guan Zhong, which prevented Hebei Province from declining but instead allowed it to continue to develop.

However, this time when the two new territories were acquired and the county magistrates were selected, several county magistrates from Hebei Province were transferred there.

Therefore, Wang Yu stayed in Hebei Province for a few days to learn more about the affairs of Hebei Province. This is where Wang Yu really started his career and where Longxing was born.

Secondly, it was also to comfort Guan Zhong. In recent years, whenever Guan Zhong finally trained a bunch of helpers, they would be kidnapped by Wang Yu.

Secondly, he wanted Guan Zhong to arrange things and let him follow him back to Yanbei for a few days.

He was accompanied by Zhu Yuyan, Bi Xiuxin, two generals Li Yuanba and Dian Wei, eight hundred Tiger Guards, one thousand light cavalry, and two thousand infantry armored guards. After more than twenty days of travel, they finally entered the territory of Yanbei.

Wang Yu once again returned to Zhendong City. After a great battle, he finally came back. The entire Zhendong City and the palace were filled with joy.

The palace was decorated with many red lanterns for celebration. The palace maids and eunuchs were dressed in new clothes and were busy preparing a banquet. The general was returning tonight and the concubine was hosting a banquet on behalf of the emperor. The palace guards in distinctive armor were patrolling back and forth, and everyone was busy.

Soon after Wang Yu took control of Zhendong, he moved the Concubine Dongfang Xuerou, the Princess Huangfu Jingya, and even the entire Huangfu Mingze court to Yanbei. In addition, he temporarily used the Governor's Mansion, which had been useless, as their palace.

Although the conditions are a bit simple, there is no other way but to let them make do with it.

At this time of national crisis, we can't build a palace for them in Yanbei, right? If Yanbei supports it financially, Wang Yu doesn't mind. However, Wang Yu himself is short of money and wants to spend every penny.

Although Huangfu Mingze died, at least in name, Wang Yu did not disband this small court.

He announced to the public that he would select a person with both ability and moral integrity from the Huangfu royal family to be the emperor in the future. However, Wang Yu had not yet selected this person with both ability and moral integrity.

Therefore, the Concubine Dowager Dongfang Xueruo ruled the country on behalf of the emperor, and General Wang Yu, who guarded the country and the east, exercised the power of regent and took charge of the government.

Although Dongfang Xueruo was nominally behind the scenes, it seemed that she only had the right to listen.

When Da Cang was strong, Dongfang Xueruo, whether as the former imperial concubine or the current imperial concubine, still had real dignity and rights.

But now, with Da Cang in such a state, the Huangfu family's rule is in name only, and she, the so-called concubine dowager, is naturally in name only as well.

Even, can only serve as a puppet.

Strictly speaking, Wang Chang and his son Wang Yu are his enemies who killed his son!

However, she could only serve as a tool for Wang Yu to maintain his rule, and she deeply hid her hatred.

Even a few months ago, someone from the Dongfang family suddenly contacted her. Didn't she know what was going on? But what choice could she make? If she lost even the best support of the Dongfang family, then she would really have no hope in the future.

Even if she disagreed, the Dongfang family would definitely complete it through other channels and would not care about the opinion of a woman like her. And she, a woman, was insignificant in the future of the entire Dongfang family.

Under the cover of the nest, An You has finished the egg!
The collapse of Da Cang has meant that people like them are destined to struggle to survive in this chaotic world.

There were rumors that the general would formally marry the eldest princess Huangfu Jingya when he returned to Yanbei this time, so the whole city was filled with a festive atmosphere.

However, it was unknown where this rumor came from. All we knew was that within a few days, the news had spread throughout the streets and alleys of Zhendong City, and it quickly spread to the entire Yanbei.

Even Wang Yu, who returned to Yanbei, was confused after hearing this rumor.

Although Wang Chang had always had this idea, and Wang Yu had not explicitly rejected it, he had not yet nodded directly. Even if he wanted to nod, he would still have to wait for an opportunity to come.

What the hell! He's getting married, and he himself doesn't even know about it!

It’s so outrageous that he opened the door for outrageousness, it’s so outrageous!
Therefore, Wang Yu, who heard the street gossip shortly after returning to Yanbei, was very upset.

The banquet was held in the Zixiang Hall, which was worthy of the name of the main hall of the imperial palace. It was converted from the main courtyard of the governor's mansion. It was twenty meters long and eight meters wide. The middle pillar was carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the walls were inlaid with gold foil. It was magnificent and had four doors. The main door was the entrance to the hall, and the two side doors were for palace maids and eunuchs to enter and exit. A long scroll with auspicious dragons and phoenixes was hung on the back door. There was a bedroom behind the curtain for changing clothes and resting.

At the banquet, there was naturally singing and laughter, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

I guess, even if there is something unpleasant, no one would find it in this situation. Even if someone wanted to find something unpleasant, they wouldn't do it today.

Fine wines, delicious dishes, and music.

Yangqin, guzheng, and the music of bells and drums.

There were also beautiful girls dancing to the music in the center of the hall.

These beauties were all very beautiful. Even if the civil and military officials present had beautiful concubines and actresses at home, the beauties at home were not as beautiful as these beauties dancing in the center of the hall.

The beauty and the wine made many people drool. If it weren't for Wang Yu being here, they would probably have broadcast their birth live.

Although Wang Yu had a good alcohol tolerance, he couldn't handle so many people toasting him.

Moreover, these people were all Zhendong civil and military officials who had surrendered not long ago. Wang Yu had to drink their wine.

Not long after he took over the power of Zhendong, the Xirong incident happened. Not long after he came back, there was an incident at Tianlang Pass again, and then the wars of Hedong and Shanyang were launched.

Therefore, he has never really had a good relationship with his subordinates, who were once familiar to him.

Even though Wang Yu had a good alcohol tolerance, his cheeks became rosy as he drank one glass after another.

One cup after another, even though Wang Yu wanted to refuse, and sometimes even drank the drink on his body instead of into his mouth, even so, Wang Yu's head began to feel dizzy.

Wang Yu knew that if he continued drinking, he might really get drunk. After traveling to this world, Wang Yu had been drunk only a few times, the last time being during the Western Rong War.

However, he couldn't get drunk today. After being away from home for many years, he finally came home once, but he got drunk here, leaving his beautiful wives and concubines alone in the empty house. Isn't it hateful!

Therefore, when he realized that he was drunk, Wang Yu used a classic urine-avoidance technique.

However, as soon as he came out of the hall, he saw his dejected father Wang Chang.

Well, no need to think about it.

It seems that his father has run into trouble with his mother again.

Huangfu Yuwei originally lived in a villa under the name of Zhendong, where she often accompanied the ancient Buddha with green lamps. However, when this broken little court was moved to Yanbei, she moved into the palace not long after.

Eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures, no matter where you are, you are eating. There is no difference between a separate courtyard under the name of Zhendong Prefecture and this temporary imperial palace.

As for why you moved in?

Perhaps, it was to guard against Wang Chang and his son!
Although she was well protected and did not get involved in some things back then, she knew that both her brother, the late emperor, and her husband Wang Chang were the kind of people who would root out the evil completely and would not even let go of a newborn baby.

Not to mention, now it seems that her eldest son is as cruel as her husband and brother. She didn't learn any good things, but instead learned all the viciousness, cruelty and ruthlessness of the two of them!
Therefore, perhaps he was worried that something might happen to Dongfang Xueruo and her daughter!

Besides, a phoenix without feathers is no better than a chicken.

In Yanbei, no one would take the relationship between the Concubine Dowager and the Princess as the same thing. How miserable is the fate of a woman in the cold palace? As a former princess of the royal family, Huangfu Yuwei naturally knew it.

As long as she is around, Dongfang Xueruo and her daughter will not suffer any grievances sooner or later.

"Father, do you really want your son to marry the eldest princess?" Wang Yu and Wang Chang came to a side hall and asked.

Wang Yu couldn't think of anyone else other than Wang Chang who might have been behind the rumor that spread throughout the city.

In the entire Zhendong City, only Wang Chang is so enthusiastic about this matter.

In the entire Zhendong City, apart from Wang Chang, how many people can make this news spread throughout the streets and alleys within a day or two, or even spread to the entire Yanbei?
And among the remaining few people besides Wang Chang, only Wang Chang can command them.

"Okay, kid, why are you putting on all this in front of your father? What's the need to pretend?" Wang Chang simply reached out and patted Wang Yu heavily on the back of his head.

Having just suffered a setback, Wang Chang was not polite at all at this moment.

If it were anyone else who dared to be so rude to him, Wang Yu, Wang Yu would let him know why the flowers are so red!

But, forget it, after all, this guy is only my father in name only!
Endure it!

"You kid, you just got a bargain, but you still want to act cute?"

"You're still trying the same trick!" Wang Chang rolled his eyes and continued.

Although from the very beginning, Wang Chang knew that his son was not a man who valued friendship and loyalty.

However, in recent years, he has still refreshed his understanding of his son.

If a heartless and cold-hearted person like him said that he didn't want to marry the eldest princess Huangfu Jingya, do you think Wang Chang would believe it?
No matter whether others believe it or not, at least Wang Chang will not believe it.

As for Wang Yu's so-called consideration for Bai Ruolan when they first talked about this matter, would Wang Chang believe such a ridiculous reason?
The benefits of marrying the eldest princess Huangfu Jingya are self-evident. Given his son's character, how could he give up so many benefits just for Bai Ruolan?

In the final analysis, Bai Ruolan really doesn't have the qualifications! And she doesn't have the value!
Is Bai Ruolan of low birth?

This is certainly not low!

She was once the daughter of the Minister of Rites, and her mother was from one of the six great aristocratic families. If this status is still low, how many people in the world can have a higher status?

However, although their status was not low, the foundation of the Bai family was still too weak. The Bai family, who were born in grassroots, could not even be said to have any foundation.

However, isn’t this exactly the reason why Wang Chang chose such a marriage for Wang Yu?
At that time, the Wang family was at its peak, so Wang Chang wanted to keep a low profile for a while.

Therefore, when Wang Yu was arranged to marry, the daughter of a noble family like the Sixth Family was not chosen, but the daughter of Bai Shang, the Minister of Rites, who was a loyal minister. Of course, at that time, Bai Shang was not only the Minister of Rites, but also the Minister of Rites because of his merits in following the emperor.

After all, even if you don't choose a legitimate daughter from a top aristocratic family, you have to find one who can be said to be a good match.

Moreover, Bai Shang was a grassroots person promoted by the late emperor, so choosing his daughter would make the late emperor feel more at ease.

Bai Ruolan's help to Wang Yu's ambitions was indeed quite limited, and was far from comparable to that of the eldest princess.

In other words, Bai Ruolan's greatest contribution to Wang Yu was actually just giving birth to a son for him.

It's cruel, but also extremely realistic.

Wang Chang really didn't think that when it came to his great cause, a man who didn't even care about his own parents would care about his wife?

Even in Wang Chang's opinion, Wang Yu was not like his father in many aspects. Instead, he was exactly like his uncle, the late emperor.

"Father, you're joking. A wife who has shared the hardships of life should not be abandoned. How can there be any so-called bargain?" Wang Yu said without blushing or beating his heart.

"Hmph!" Wang Chang snorted coldly, but didn't say anything else.

No matter what Wang Yu thought in his heart, Wang Chang knew very well that there were some things he would never admit.

However, just not admitting it does not mean that you cannot do it, nor does it mean that you cannot stop others from doing it.

Therefore, no matter what Wang Yu’s attitude is now, Wang Chang must push this matter forward.

Easing the relationship with Huangfu Yuwei is actually just a small matter.

The real reason is that since Wang Yu has led the Wang family onto this path, they naturally have to go all out and stop at nothing.

Since marrying the eldest princess can bring various benefits, both overt and covert, he will naturally push it forward until the matter is completely settled.
