Brother Wanfu

Chapter 117
The sound of drumming in the middle of the night came from under the red wall.

Emperor Zhao Yin regained some thought, "So it's so late."

Huang Xian quickly said yes, "Since Your Majesty wants to personally conquer, this servant thinks that it is better to rest these few days. Your Majesty, go back to the bedroom and let this servant serve you to rest!"

"Alright." Zhao Yin supported Huang Xian's hands to get off the dragon chair, but just as he was about to leave the hall, he remembered something.

"Huang Xian, do you have a clue about the matter I asked you to investigate earlier?"

When he asked this question, Huang Xian said "ah", and he hurriedly bowed to apologize.

"Your servant is really guilty. I came here to talk about this with His Majesty tonight, but I forgot."

Zhao Yin, who had decided to go on a personal expedition with the imperial driver, had suppressed a lot of impetuous emotions before, so he didn't care about this little matter with Huang Xian.

"Come on, what did you find out?"

This matter was not a big deal, it was just a person who had died long ago, but Huang Xian's subordinates found out about it recently, the death of this person back then was somewhat suspicious.

Huang Xian talked to the emperor, but he didn't want the emperor to ask him to check on the princess in the Suzheng army.

These days, Huang Xian really found out some clues.

"Reporting to the emperor, the servants under the slave searched for the people around the princess, and found a person of unknown origin who was next to the princess. There is a high probability that it is this person, but the slave still needs to verify."

Zhao Yin pursed his lips.

What he asked Huang Xian to investigate was the prince's cousin Ji Yuan who had been by the prince's side after the death of the first queen.

After he captured the imperial city, the body of this person was found. He once thought that this person was dead, but recently some doubts were revealed. The body at that time was probably not Ji Yuan himself at all.

If Ji Yuan is still there, he must be in the Suzheng army at this moment.

In other words, Zhao Yin has always been suspicious of his niece, if Ji Yuan is always by his side, then it is probably true.

After all, Ji Yuan is not an ordinary loyal person.

Zhao Yin frowned.

He really didn't expect that the prince hid the orphan outside, and entrusted him to Ji Yuan to take him out of the capital. He didn't know about it until he was raised outside for more than ten years.

It was really negligent back then, but the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say these things.

He will drive himself to conquer and personally get rid of the disasters left over ten years ago.

Yanzhou City, in the Suzheng Army.

As soon as the news of Emperor Zhao Yin's personal conquest came, the bustling noises of the entire Yanzhou city, as if covered by heavy snow, were reduced by more than half.

The emperor's personal expedition means that all the military forces of the imperial court will be mobilized to fight against the Suzheng army.

No matter how powerful the Suzheng army is, it only occupied half of the Central Plains and Jiangnan. It took only one year to raise the rebellion. Facing the imperial court's suppression, it will naturally not be defeated. But if the emperor mobilizes the power of the entire court to destroy the Suzheng army , so what?

The noisy cicadas rang non-stop on the treetops in the courtyard.

In the inner study room of Princess Mansion, Qin Tian couldn't stop sweating after changing into light clothes. She went to the window to cool off with a fan, and saw a small box on the shelf under the window.

Pulling out the box, inside is a lifelike five-poison hairpin flower.

It was a Dragon Boat Festival gift from a certain elder brother.

The little girl looked at those hairpins, and took a snake-shaped hairpin, the snake trembled as if it were real, Qin Tian was not afraid, but couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

He, a man who fought on the front line, still remembers this.

Compared with the Five Poison Bracelet she gave him before, the workmanship of this box of hairpins is very meticulous, just looking at the workmanship, you can tell that it was not a day's work, it can be seen that he had ordered someone to make this box of hairpins a long time ago.

Thinking of this, the little girl's heart beat a little faster.

It's just that the war is tight, and we haven't seen each other for too many days.Right now, the emperor is on his own expedition, and I don't know when we will see you again.

Qin Tian recited a little Buddha in his heart, bless all the soldiers of the Su Zheng army, and also bless him safe and sound.

Standing in front of the five poisonous hairpins, she lost her concentration, put away the box, took the fan and returned to the desk.

There were three medicated recipes spread out on the desk, and Qin Tian tried to make a few recipes of medicated recipes.

The heat is hot and steamy. There is not much rain in summer this year, and the weather is getting drier and hotter. This is already the case in the first summer, let alone the rest of the month.

The generals of the Suzheng Army not only could not escape the heat, but also had to fight against the scorching sun. Many soldiers suffered from heat stroke, and the doctors accompanying the army were too busy, so they could only cook some mung bean water for everyone to cool off in advance.

After Qin Tian heard about it, he thought about using herbal diet to cool off the heat for everyone, covering food and water with medicinal materials to cool off the heat, and taking precautions in advance. After a few days, the weather will be hotter, and the soldiers will be able to hold on.

The little girl wrote several prescriptions, and she was going to ask several doctors to review them for her before going into the army.

When Wei Yunce came, he saw the princess looking down at the medicinal recipe, the sweat on her forehead condensed into beads, fell down the broken hair on her temples, and landed on the paper, but she didn't realize it yet.

The servant girl told him again, "Princess, Mr. Wei is here," before she raised her head in surprise.

Wei Yunce's eyes fell slightly on her face, watching her stand up with blinking eyes.

"Why are you here, sir?"

He said softly, "Mr. Sun and the others want to discuss about the emperor's personal conquest, so let me come down and invite the princess to go with me."

The emperor's personal conquest posed three or five times the threat to the Suzheng army. Qin Tian also felt that this matter was urgent, so he agreed with Wei Yunce and went to the bedroom to change clothes.

Wei Yunce stayed in her study for the time being.

On the desk are herbal recipes that she pondered over and over again.

Wei Yunce looked down for a while.

It would be great if she wasn't a princess. All the whistling wind and rain and the huge waves have nothing to do with her. She just needs to focus on her favorite medicinal food and keep her peaceful paradise.

unfortunately
Wei Yunce looked at her unsophisticated handwriting, smiled slowly, and used a paperweight to press the paper for her. Hearing movement in the courtyard, he left the study.

Chamber.

Qin Tian actually saw "father" Qin Guanzhong, but there were outsiders present, so she just nodded to him.

Even Qin Guanzhong came from Qingzhou, apart from Qin Shen who was far away at the front and couldn't leave, all the important figures in the Suzheng Army gathered here.

To fight against the emperor's personal conquest, the Suzheng army must take out the strength accumulated in the past year, the skills it has developed, and all the forces that can be mobilized, and condense it here.

Everyone carefully counted everything from the city, the soldiers, to the food, clothes, people's hearts, and allies.

Mr. Sun was extremely worried, but after everyone finished talking about it, Sun Wenjing let out a sigh of relief.

"I originally thought that the Suzheng Army might not be able to resist the power of the thunder, but now it seems that the emperor had no one available and was forced to leave the capital to fight in person. With the current Suzheng Army, how can it not be a decisive victory with him? burden?"

These words filled everyone with confidence.

But Mr. He still said, "The Suzheng army must take advantage of the right time, place and people to fight this battle steadily. It's best that you don't slack off."

He said, looking at Qin Tian.

"The old man thinks that the princess and her highness can't be idle. The emperor's personal conquest, the locals will inevitably deal with it, the military generals will be fine, and even the civil servants will be involved. They will inevitably shake the attitude of the world's scholars. I think your highness will join in this , you need to use some more force."

To continue to win the hearts of scholars is to win the hearts of the people all over the world.

Qin Tian knew, "I don't know what to do?"

You can't go to worship Confucius every time you have something to do.

Then the only thing to do is to show up everywhere and create momentum.

Qin Tian tried to say, "Princess should have half of the imperial conquest when she goes on tour in various cities, right?"

She has not spoken much in the battle, and most of them have followed the results of everyone's discussion. She opened her mouth first, and everyone looked at her.

Qin Tian was not quite sure whether what she said was appropriate or not, she tightened her hands slightly, and was about to ask everyone if this plan was feasible, when Wei Yunce spoke.

"Her Royal Highness's plan is very good. Not only will it continue to stabilize the hearts of scholars, but also the soldiers guarding the cities will be reassured. It is not half of the power of the royal conquest, this is the princess' personal conquest."

He said so, and everyone was kind.

While speaking, it was decided that the princess would go on tour, and even which cities she would go to.

It was the first time for Qin Tian to fully participate in it. After the discussion was over, she came back to her senses and realized that "father" was watching her quietly.

Regarding the princess's tour, Mr. He and Wei Yunce, two prestigious civil officials, were appointed to accompany the princess, starting from Yanzhou City, and going on tour in the city where the Suzheng Army was located.

As for more specific matters, Wei Yunce will arrange them.

Seeing "father" looking over, Qin Tian also tilted his head with him.

After the discussion, after leaving the meeting hall, Qin Tian and Qin Guanzhong went to the nearby bushes to talk.

"The princess seems to have adapted to life now."

This is natural, Qin Tian nodded, "You don't have to worry about me either."

Qin Guanzhong was silent for a while, but he talked about recent events.

"I heard that after the Royal Conquest, more assassins came to assassinate the princess. Can the princess still sleep peacefully?"

There were indeed many assassins, almost all of whom were sent by the palace. It can be seen from this that her threat to the emperor made the emperor even more restless.

On the contrary, Qin Tian got used to it, "Those assassins can't get into me, don't worry."

But Qin Guanzhong still said, "That's what I said, but there are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, how can there be one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days? The princess must not slack off, and she must order her subordinates to guard her closely. If she is assassinated again, I am afraid it will not As lucky as last time."

He seemed to be very anxious about this matter, and said a lot to Qin Tian to pay attention to safety.

While speaking, Wei Yunce walked over from the direction of the meeting hall.

He wanted to find Qin Tian to discuss the details of the tour, and Qin Guanzhong stopped reminding Qin Tian when he saw him coming.

Wei Yunce asked him to rest assured when he heard what he said, "I will make careful arrangements for the tour, the princess will be fine, Shi Bo don't worry about it."

As he said this, seeing Qin Guanzhong let out a sigh of relief, his eyes fell on Wei Yunce.

"Then trouble my nephew."

Wei Yunce glanced at him with a smile.

"Working for the princess, what's the trouble?"

"Too."

At this point, Qin Guanzhong didn't say anything more.

Qin Tian asked him, "Aren't you going back to Qingzhou?"

"I won't go back." Qin Guanzhong said, "The battle is tight, and I have entrusted the war against the Japanese in Qingzhou to General Tang of the Shen family army," he said, and said to Qin Tian, ​​"It is not a trivial matter for the imperial conquest. None can slack off.”

Seeing that he cared so much about this matter, Qin Tian naturally nodded his head, asked a few more questions about Mrs. Qin, and said goodbye to him.

After Qin Tian left, Qin Guanzhong stood in the bushes for a while. In the scorching summer, there was no cool air in the bushes.

But he still stood there, like a tree sculpture.

Zhang Shouyuan came over and said, "Why are you here? The sun is setting to the west, and if you stand for a while, you will suffer from heat stroke."

After he reminded him like this, Qin Guanzhong realized that it was indeed getting late.

He turned around to leave the woods, but Zhang Shouyuan called him.

said a word.

"In this world, I don't have to watch the stars to calculate, and I know that the day will change."

When the words fell to the ground, Qin Guanzhong paused.

Zhang Shouyuan's voice sounded again.

"It's coming soon, it's coming soon. The capital sent the emperor away this time, and when the emperor welcomes the next time, do you think it will be Zhao Yin again? We are all waiting for this day, maybe there is no need to be so hard Go north and attack the city at one o'clock, and you will be there! By then, the world will not be in the new emperor's pocket?!"

His name is Qin Guanzhong.

"Don't worry too much, everything will be fine."

Qin Guanzhong nodded in his words.

"I hope so."

*
The first city the princess visited was Yanzhou City.

Yanzhou, as the place where the Suzheng Army started the uprising, and as the base camp of the Suzheng Army, now also gathers many literati, businessmen and ordinary people who joined the Suzheng Army.

The princess's tour this time is a response to the emperor Zhao Yin's personal conquest.

Yanzhou City, which had been depressed and indifferent due to the imperial conquest, was once again boiling because of the princess's tour.

Fu Wen watched from under the tower, and looked up at the princess talking on the tower. The tower was full of people, most of the people were afraid to speak out, but the scholars gathered here were even more excited, as if they were about to go to battle at the next breath Killing the enemy is the same.

Fu Wen had just returned from the front line, and seeing the battle, he couldn't help poking the excited scholar next to him and asking.

"Brother, why are you so excited? Could it be that our Suzheng army has won another battle."

Even Fu Wen has never heard of it.

But the scholar also said that it was a victory, he pointed to the top of the city wall.

"We scholars are excited, isn't it just because of the princess? The Queen's prosperous age is coming, this is the prosperous age that we scholars dream of, how can we not be excited?"

"The queen's prosperity? The princess hasn't become a queen yet, how do you know it's the prosperity of you scholars?"

Fu Wen didn't understand the excitement of these scholars, and his words were not so polite, but the scholars didn't care.

"You don't understand this. When the queen was here, she paid great attention to scholars, and the queen's husband was the number one scholar who was born in Huiyuan. This is a role model for scholars in the world. You see, the princess must be the queen in the future , and who is beside the princess?"

He pointed to the person standing behind the princess on the city wall from a distance.

Standing behind the princess was none other than Wei Yunce and Wei Huiyuan, the first name of Sui Chunxiong last year.

For some reason, Fu Wen felt a little dazzling when he saw this scene.

But the scholar also said something.

"Wei Huiyuan gave us great confidence. He is by the princess's side, which means that the spring of scholars is coming. How can we scholars not be excited? Swear allegiance to Her Royal Highness to the death!"

Fu Wen couldn't say anything to refute for a while.

He wanted to ask, are these scholars really loyal to Her Royal Highness the Princess?Still loyal to Wei Yunce?
But he didn't dare to ask, he just felt depressed.

*
On the first day of the tour, Qin Tian didn't feel tired.

In the evening, Wei Yunce arranged for the princess to have a banquet for the heroes, and met with many civil servants and military generals. When the banquet was over and the drums rang, it was already late.

Wei Yunce sent Qin Tian back to the princess mansion.

Qin Tian didn't need him to see her off, but he also mentioned that the princess would go on tour in the next city, so Qin Tian couldn't say anything more, and let him send her back to the princess mansion.

Fu Wen had been waiting for her here for a long time, and now seeing that the princess had finally returned, he was about to go up to speak, but he saw that Mr. Wei was still following her.

Fu Wen paused, but Qin Tian saw him first.

"Guard Fu?! Why are you here?"

Naturally, his son asked him to come.

But seeing that Mr. Wei was still following closely behind the princess, he didn't want to speak.

Wei Yunce took a look at his expression, and then bid farewell to Qin Tian.

"His Royal Highness would like to rest for two days, and then go to the next city, there is still work."

The intimacy implied in these words made Fu Wen secretly unhappy.

But the princess didn't notice it, and when Wei Yunce left, she happily called him forward.

"Brother asked you to come?"

Fu Wen said yes, "Young master asked the subordinates to come and see the princess. Will the first day's tour go smoothly? Will it be too tiring?"

When he talked about the big brother's question, Qin Tian's eyes were filled with a smile.

She said that everything was fine for her, and she had so many people protecting her, so what could happen?
"But how is he? Is the battle on the front line very intense? How many hours can he sleep a day? No more injuries, right?"

Hearing the princess asked her young master repeatedly, Fu Wen's heart was relieved for a while.

He answered Qin Tian truthfully, "Young master only led the army to attack two days ago, and he came back with a bit of heat, but it's not a serious problem."

"Brother also has heatstroke?!"

As soon as Qin Tian heard this, he quickly brought over the medicinal recipes he had come in to consider.

"This prescription is just for relieving the heat, and it will be widely used in the army in the near future. You can use it for your elder brother first. It is still very hot these days, so pay more attention to him."

Hearing this, Fu Wen took the princess' prescription in his hand, and felt more at ease. After Qin Tian gave him some more instructions, he went out.

Wei You was standing in the courtyard with arms folded, when he saw Fu Wen coming out with a happy face, and teased him.

"Sometimes you put your face on your face, and sometimes you squint your eyes. If you don't know, you might think that you have encountered several major events in one day?"

Wei You is reserved, and only someone who has known Fu Wen for many years can chat casually.

Fu Wen snorted twice, and said that he might be the same as Wei You, "I'm not happy to see the people of the Wei family, but now I can't see them, so naturally I'm happy."

He was talking about Wei Yunce.

Wei You was slightly taken aback.

But Fu Wen wanted to rush back to the front line tomorrow morning, Qin Shen agreed, so he didn't talk to Wei You anymore, and went to find a place to sleep.

Wei You, on the other hand, listened to Fu Wen's words just now, and withdrew his casual expression, pursed his lips and remained silent for a while.

　good night.
