Plague in the Army (2)
Prime Minister Zhu said: "What's the situation in the Western Regions?"
"There is still no news. According to the people we arranged to report that 'Bokedo' has been in seclusion, and before 'Bokedo', there was never any suspicious thing. I guess it was as the result of the imperial investigation. However, this time, I got the news from the Lakhan Sect. It turned out that the Buddha teeth they were looking for were destroyed by 'Bokedo'. When they were in Shu, Jun Yu was injured and was rescued by 'Bokedo'..."
Prime Minister Zhu was originally sitting on the chair motionless, but suddenly he became energetic and slowly stood up.
At the door, the old servant suddenly reported: "Master, the second young master is back."
Prime Minister Zhu immediately stood up and came outside, but saw Zhu Yu walking outside, and immediately shouted: "Yu'er."
Zhu Yu stopped, but did not look back: "What's the matter?"
"You come to the study."
Zhu Yu stood there silently for a while, but followed his father to the study.
"Are you going out again?"
"There are still many important things to be dealt with in the capital."
Prime Minister Zhu looked at his son: "It is naturally a good thing for you to be diligent in government affairs, but you should also spend more time with the princess, so as not to make it difficult to explain to King Heyang. You said yourself, how long has it been since you stayed at home?"
Zhu Yu laughed: "Women are like clothes. Isn't this what you want me to do? You also know, how many times your son has ever had a single love a flower?"
"Yu'er, it's very common for men to have three wives and four concubines. If there is a woman they like outside, you can marry her. However, you still have to explain it to the princess."
Zhu Yu smiled coldly and said nothing.
"Yushu Town has just won a great victory. Although the imperial court's commendation order has not been released yet, Jun Yu has accumulated military achievements along the way. She is now so powerful. If she adds outstanding military achievements, I'm afraid..."
Zhu Yu interrupted his father: "She is used to a dignified contest, and even willing to retreat to the northwest of the bitter and cold land. No matter how good her military achievements are, she is unlikely to disturb the government's mechanisms. You don't have to be so cautious about her."
"It seems that you know Jun Yu quite well."
Zhu Yu didn't make any noise.
"Originally, most of the Northwest Army were my direct line, but after Jun Yu left, he immediately activated Zhou Yida and some lower-level generals. Lin Baoshan is now alone, and this candid is not even able to make a trick behind his back. Jun Yu has always been good at winning people's hearts. The Northwest Army has been bitter and cold, and the diet is rough. It is said that after she entered the Northwest Army, she lived and ate like those ordinary soldiers. The commander of the dignified commander was like that of her officers and soldiers. The military man Lin Baoshan and others who only know how to live and die in a drunken state were originally unable to achieve the morale of the army. In the long run, my direct generals in the Northwest Army would probably lose their power completely..."
Zhu Yu stared at his father: "I have followed your order to get married, and I have also begun to form cliques with powerful officials for personal gain and intrigue. What else do you want to do in order to consolidate the Zhu family's status?"
"What do you think I want?" Prime Minister Zhu said sternly: "Over these days, you have instructed people to perform their merits in the court and fight for food and wages. Do you think I don't know?"
Zhu Yu almost shouted out: "So what? I hope she will win soon and leave that bitter and cold place as soon as possible."
Prime Minister Zhu stared at his son: "To this day, you still don't give up?"
Zhu Yu suddenly laughed and said, "I have reached this point. What else can I do if I don't give up? You said, what hope do I have?"
Prime Minister Zhu saw his son like this for the first time, and suddenly remembered the sad and desperate look of his eldest son before his death, and felt his heart sinking.
He even forgot to scold his son, and was stunned for a while before saying, "Now, Shi Lanni's sisters are pampered by three thousand people, and Meng Yuanjing has made great achievements in the Fujian area. Under these two relationships, he is just around the corner. This person has always been ambitious and has a career in officialdom. I am afraid that he will become a major concern for me after returning to the court..."
"I don't care who you have to deal with, and I don't care about other people's lives or death, but Jun Yu, she is not your political enemy."
Prime Minister Zhu said angrily: "If you think about her so much, do you know that even if she is really a woman, she will never take you to heart?"
Zhu Yu was silent.
"Let me ask you, is Jun Yu really saved by that 'Bokedo' in Shu?"
“So what?”
Prime Minister Zhu laughed and said, "No wonder the foolish monarch sent the masters of the Qianji Sect to find out why. One is the extremely sacred 'Bokedo', and the other is the famous 'Fei Shuai of Fengcheng'. As long as you confirm that Jun Yu is really a woman - just wait and see how these two people are ruined, haha."
"You underestimate Jun Yu too much." Zhu Yu sneered, and did not say goodbye to his father, and walked out straight.

As the end of the year approaches, because the northwest is tentative, according to the court's practice, generals of all sizes have two months off to return home to visit relatives. Generals such as Lin Baoshan and Zhou Yida have already returned home nearby.
Jun Yu had no home to return, and Fenghuang Village was thousands of miles away, so it was difficult to repatriate him, so he brought a group of left-behind officers and soldiers to celebrate the New Year in the barracks.
On that day, Jun Yu took Lu Ling, Zhang Yuan and others out to inspect the northwest terrain.
The ice and snow temporarily frozen the northwest yellow sand. Occasionally, a few groundhogs ran away, leaving only the vast cold weather around.
It was almost evening, and the north wind was blowing. Everyone walked for a while. They saw a huge temple spire in the distance, but it was the famous Iron Horse Temple. Jun Yu suddenly stopped. At this time, Lu Ling, Zhang Yuan and others also stopped because everyone could hear a fierce fighting sound.
Tiema Temple is one of the three major holy temples of the Western Regions sect, because a very famous holy monk in their religion was born under a sacred sandalwood tree here. Since then, this sacred sandalwood tree has become a sacred object that all believers and believers must worship.
At this moment, as the New Year is approaching, there is such a fierce fighting sound in this temple.
Jun Yu and a few people rushed up immediately.
When I rushed to the door, a thick smoke suddenly emerged from a corner of the temple inside. I saw the mountain gate open, and the sound of killing inside was shocking. The believers were fighting with a group of strangely dressed people in the world.
One of the monks who were dragging a long iron rod and covered in blood was Xia Ao, the iron rod precept monk in the Holy Palace.
Among them, an old man wearing a tall black hat and holding a sharp axe actually headed straight to the famous sandalwood tree and chopped it up with the axe.
The monks were angry and frightened, and they could not take off their bodies to stop them for a moment? The old man from the black hat was very proud, laughed wildly, raised his axe and was about to turn the second axe, but suddenly he felt a great force, and the axe in his hand flew out immediately.
He turned around in horror, feeling that several masters on his side had already lost their weapons.
The attackers dressed in strange shapes suddenly saw several powerful support from the other side. Their own hands were greatly damaged and they could not get it. They were frightened. However, the monks of the Western Regions became more and more brave. Several of them took the opportunity to escape. The others were not interested in fighting and fled one after another.
When the monks saw these strange and powerful aids who suddenly appeared, they were at a loss. Xia Ao dragged the iron rod over, bowed deeply, and said happily: "I have the help of the marshal again. It is the Buddha who blessed the Iron Horse Temple to avoid this great disaster."
Jun Yu returned the gift, and Xia Ao introduced to the abbot of the Iron Horse Temple who arrived: "This is the commander of the Northwest Army."
