marquis of jingan

Chapter 907 Buried in Yandu
The days are gradually entering autumn, and the weather in Huai'an Mansion is gradually cooling down.

Originally, it will be winter in about two months, and the Qi people have withdrawn their troops on the surface. At this time, the Huai'an army should take a little rest. It's a little tighter.

Shen Yi personally supervised the training of soldiers in the Xiangshui Camp.

In addition to stepping up training, Shen Yi also sent thousands of households Wanzhong from the east line to the coastal area on the east line of Huai'an Mansion, and asked him to lead two thousand-household battalions stationed along the coast to inspect the situation along the coast and report at any time.

For Shen Yi now, there are probably only so many things that can be done.

After all, although the people of Qi on the North Shore changed frequently, the army had not assembled yet, and it would take at least a month before they wanted to fight.

Just as Shen Yi was actively preparing for the battle, a large ship from Qi people arrived at the wharf of Xiangshui County.

Shen Yi received the news early, and took Su Ding to wait at the pier ahead of time. When Qiren's big ship docked, when Shen Yi saw the figure of an acquaintance appearing on the deck of the big ship, he breathed a sigh of relief. The Prince of Jin, who was on an envoy to the Northern Qi Dynasty, was welcomed down.

After Li Mu set foot on the land on the south bank, Shen Yi stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations on your son's safe return to the country."

Li Mu looked at Shen Yi in front of him, took two steps back slightly, and bowed to Shen Yi to the ground, with a serious expression on his face: "I'm sorry."

Master Shen quickly helped him up, and shook his head slightly: "What is your son doing?"

After Li Mu got up, he smiled at Shen Yi: "It's not Ziheng. Even if I don't die in Yandu, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a few years or more."

Speaking of this, the prince of Jin still has lingering fears: "Speaking of it, Ziheng may not believe it, but this time the emperor of Northern Qi sent his personal guards to escort me back to Dachen, but even so, I came all the way from Yandu to Huai'an , I encountered at least seven or eight bandits on the road."

Li Mu let out a breath, and said slowly: "The fifty guards who escorted me, as of yesterday, there are only 32 left."

Hearing this, Shen Yi couldn't help but be speechless.

It stands to reason that the Northern Qi emperor released Li Mu back and sent his inner guards to escort him, so he has clearly expressed his attitude. Logically speaking, the Northern Qi government and the opposition should buy into their emperor's account and stop embarrassing Li Mu.

But Li Mu's experience along the way clearly shows that the nobles in the Northern Dynasty, or simply put, those "old Zhu Lizhen", did not give the emperor this face. Although they did not directly send people to intercept and kill Li Mu, they did The bandits and bandits along the way are absolutely inseparable from them!

If it weren't for the background behind them, which group of bandits would dare to fight against the court's imperial guards?

Shen Yi was thoughtful, then looked at Li Mu, and said, "It seems that the emperor in the north has been ill for too long."

Emperors are human too.

Although Emperor Yongping of the Northern Qi Dynasty had been in power for more than 30 years, logically speaking, all the courtiers in the current Northern Dynasty court were drawn up by his Majesty, and the military and political power should have been in his hands long ago.

But as it stands now, His Majesty the Emperor...

Authority is no more.

Otherwise, no one would dare to attack his guards secretly.

After all... I have been ill for several years, and it has been more than two years since I stopped the court. It is not easy for the current Emperor Yongping to realize his political intentions in a general direction. He wants to hold all aspects of the court in his hands , too difficult too difficult.

Of course, these real Zhuli dared to attack Li Mu so unscrupulously, maybe they didn't mean to test their own emperor and master.

I want to see if Emperor Yongping, who has been ill for several years, can still carry a knife.

Li Mu nodded silently, and said with emotion: "If the imperial guards of the Northern Qi Dynasty were placed in Da Chen, they would have a higher status than the emperor's internal guards. They were the emperor's close servants. Even the imperial guards were killed by a dozen. Da Chen is an unthinkable crime."

If the emperor's servants go out on business, they are the emperor's envoys, which are equivalent to small imperial envoys. If in Dachen, the inner guards go out to work and are arranged by bandits or arranged for bandits to stop and kill them, this is a serious crime of rebellion.

Not only the Yi tribe, but also the eggs at home must be shaken to turn yellow!

The reason why this happened in Northern Qi was that the "Old Zhu Lizhen" in Northern Qi had too much power.

After all, when Northern Qi entered the pass, it was the big guys who sent their own troops and fought their lives to get into the pass. Until now, among Zhuli real people, the "hometowns" similar to the Lang family and the Tong family still have a lot of power in their hands, and It can command a part of the troops.

Moreover, it was these "old families" who were contributing to the defense against the Tatars in the north. Therefore, when they faced the emperor, they seemed a lot more presumptuous.

Shen Yi thought for a while, then turned sideways slightly, smiled at Li Mu and said, "Your Majesty was frightened all the way, so I asked someone to prepare food and wine in Xiangshui camp to welcome you."

Li Mu smiled brightly, and said: "Ziheng sent someone to Yandu, but it saved my life. If the savior asked me, how dare I refuse?"

The two walked almost side by side, and entered the handsome tent of the Xiangshui camp. At this time, the food and drink had already been prepared. After Li Mu sat down, he poured a glass of wine for Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Ziheng, your residence reports There is a man named Lu Zhen in the department, whose identity in Northern Qi has already been exposed, this time he saved me, can Ziheng release him, and let him go to the Prince Jin's mansion to be my follower?"

Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid it won't work."

Li Mu was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Is this person so important?"

Master Shen shook his head again, and said: "Lu Zhen is clever in his work, but he is not too important a person. Originally, it is his blessing that the prince asks for it. I should let him follow the prince with the beauty of an adult."

"But this person is, after all, a member of the Dibao Division."

Shen Yi reminded: "Your Majesty, the Dibao Department is an intelligence agency directly under His Majesty."

Li Mu had just finished a glass of wine, and immediately reacted, nodded quickly: "That's right, Lu Zhen can't go to Prince Jin's mansion."

It's a bit too weird for a clan to recruit people from secret service agencies into the palace.

What's more, Shen Yi is still serving as the secretary of the mansion's newspaper department in the dark. If Lu Zhen and Li Mu go home, the court will inevitably feel that Lu Zhen is used to get between Shen Yi and Li Mu. message each other.

too sensitive.

After Li Mu raised his head and took a sip of his wine, he looked at Shen Yi and said, "Ziheng, the peace talks failed this time, and the Northern Qi Emperor released me for no reason. Up to now, I'm actually still a little confused. "

Shen Yi and Li Mu clinked a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "They want Shizi to bow his head, but Shizi didn't bow his head, and it's not good to keep him locked up, so they had to let Shizi back."

"However, the people of Qi are not the ones who will let it go. They let the prince come back because being soft doesn't work."

"If the soft one doesn't work, then the hard one will naturally come."

Li Mu's expression moved slightly, he looked up at Shen Yi, Master Shen ate his food, and said slowly: "The war is inevitable, this battle will determine the status of the Northern Qi emperor and my Chaotianzi for a long time to come. and temper."

Master Shen raised his glass and clinked a glass with Li Mu.

"If we win, His Majesty will be tougher, and Beiqi will be softer."

"vice versa."

Speaking of this, Master Shen raised his head to look at Li Mu, and said with a smile: "Forget it, let's not talk about it, the prince will see it himself."

"By the way, the prince has always wanted to go to Yandu, how do you feel about this trip to Yandu?"

"The place is a good place."

Li Mu took a sip of his wine and said, "It's a pity that I have been locked up all this time, and I don't have much time to go out for a stroll, and I didn't even have time to see the tomb of my ancestors."

"There will always be a chance to see it in the future."

Shen Yi said with a smile: "Maybe in the future, the son's Jin Palace will be in Yandu."

Li Mu didn't dare to say anything else when he came back this trip. He must have earned his own prince, so when he heard Shen Yi say this, he rarely refuted it. He just looked at Shen Yi and smiled: "I see you." During the time of Emperor Qi, Emperor Qi said that he wanted Ziheng to go to Yandu too."

"I said I wanted to get to know you, a talented young man."

Master Shen said with a smile: "I will go, I will go, if I have a chance in the future, I will definitely go there."

Li Mu raised his wine glass, toasted Shen Yi, and smiled brightly: "Then I must live a few more years, waiting for this day to come, and I will be buried in Yandu in the future."

The two toasted and collided, and drank their heads up.

At this time, the autumn wind outside the camp howled.

A war of unknown scale, with the return of Li Mu, seems to be...

It has been kicked off.
