Li Ji actually hoped that Yun Chu could stand up and wave the red flag, so that he would have reason to send Yun Chu to Liaodong at the beginning of spring.
Pei Xingjian had already made great contributions once in Liaodong, and he wanted to go there again and make greater contributions.
As for Xue Rengui, he believed that capturing the flag was a great opportunity for him to leave the court and go to the frontier to make contributions.
As for Yun Chu, he had no intention of leaving Chang'an at all. He had lived with the Hu people at the border for thirteen years. He had seen enough of the desert, Gobi, snow-capped mountains, and grasslands.
He likes to have a bowl of porridge, soup, noodles, or tofu, fried dough sticks, or steamed buns that suits his appetite when he wakes up in the morning.
Instead of eating dry fried noodles and tsampa.
People who have never herded sheep always think that shepherds eat mutton and beef for every meal. I don’t know what they think. Anyway, Yun Chu has been a herdsman for several years, and eating roast mutton is like celebrating the New Year.
He likes to stay in Chang'an City and watch the various happenings in the city, instead of hiding under the snow-capped mountains and watching those Uighur boys chirping me and me with the big-tailed sheep (not a typo).
He likes to see the endless flow of pedestrians on the street, rather than the endless flow of sheep and horses.
He likes to have a clean wife nestling in his arms beside him, not in the frontier. Even in beautiful moments like London, one hand needs to be free to grasp the handle of the knife.
It makes sense that God gave a man two hands. Every design echoes a woman's body structure. Obviously, grabbing the handle of a knife is a wrong use of the hands.
It is difficult for people who have not spent a long time in the primitive Western Regions to understand Yun Chu's idea of wanting to die of old age in Chang'an City.
There are people who are willing to go to the frontier to fight the aliens on their behalf, and they are so eager that Yunchu has no reason not to help them.
It wasn't Yun Chu who was targeting Xue Rengui. If the second person to step onto the platform was Pei Xingjian, Yun Chu would still have given him the red flag.
Yunchu's subordinates had no objection to this. They also hated going to the border to fight with foreigners. It could even be said that why would they risk their lives for something they could get in Chang'an?
When a person has money, his life becomes valuable.
Xue Rengui received a lot of rewards. Yunchu ordered a team of government servants to help Xue Rengui transport them, and finally sent them to Wannian County Yamen.
As for the money in the casino, although the winner was Xue Rengui, the casino had to pay the people of Wannian County according to Yunchu's handicap.
They are also very reluctant, because the payout amount for a one-to-one bet is too different from that for a one-to-eight bet.
Not a single casino paid compensation according to the strategy given by Yun Chu, and there was not even a casino owner who complained.
These people can still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal.
In the cold winter months, nothing can make people feel more happy than eating a mutton hot pot.
There is no chili, which is the biggest regret. Fortunately, chive flowers, fermented bean curd, and sesame sauce are still available here in Yunchu.
Wen Wen likes to eat mutton with mustard, so he is the sloppiest when eating mutton and needs to constantly wipe his nose and tears.
"His Majesty used two thousand craftsmen to dig up that high platform overnight and took out eight hundred kilograms of gunpowder. It seems to be a top secret, but in fact, everyone who needs to know knows it."
She wiped her tears gently and said to Yun Chu and Di Renjie in a crying voice.
"So, in order to show his innocence, Duke Ying took out a thunderbolt in front of His Majesty, lit it and threw it under the platform to prove his innocence.
After all, if he wanted to assassinate the king at that time, he could just throw the thunderbolt on His Majesty."
Di Renjie heard what Yun Chu said about the scene at that time, and now he can easily draw a conclusion based on Wen Wen's words.
Wen Wen covered her nose with a handkerchief and made a "boss" sound. Then she opened the handkerchief and looked at her results. If she was very satisfied, she put it in her sleeves and said to Yun Chu: "Changsun Wuji came to apologize and took me away."
Gunpowder, everything was explained in detail, and I heard it was accurate."
Di Renjie sighed and said: "Once Chu Suiliang left, Changsun Wuji no longer had any talents around him. It is impossible for him to be perfect. The more perfect he is, the more others will doubt him."
Yun Chu took a mouthful of mutton and said, "No matter what he does, the emperor's attitude towards him has been very obvious. The judge of the Wuyan Academy has been sent to prison, and the manager of the gunpowder workshop has also been sent to prison.
If these two people can't figure out the source of the eight hundred kilograms of gunpowder, that will be the fate of the Yi tribe.
Do you think the two of them can explain it clearly?"
Di Renjie said: "I can explain it clearly, but why can't I explain it clearly? And I must be able to explain it clearly."
Hearing what Di Renjie said, even the gentle and heartless man sighed.
"Sometimes, it's much more difficult for a living person than a dead person. Eight hundred kilograms of gunpowder can put everyone in the court in danger.
From now on, I’m afraid no one will want to have anything to do with gunpowder. I think this may be your Majesty’s original intention.”
Yun Chu was silent for a moment and said: "We should do our own thing well and not get involved in the emperor's affairs, nor in the affairs of those ministers.
No matter how the current situation changes, life must go on."
Wen Wen nodded, raised her wine glass and touched it with Di Renjie Yunchu, and then the three of them relaxed their stomachs and started eating and drinking.
When Li Hong entered his mother's palace, he specially asked the nuns to rearrange his clothes, carefully tucked a lock of naughty hair into the golden hair ring, and flicked the beautiful red pom-pom with his hands.
, then carefully walked into Wu Mei's bedroom.
A palace servant was holding Li Xian and standing at the edge of the curtain. His father was not there, so Li Hong didn't even bother to take a look, so he came to his mother's side, hugged her thigh and looked up at Wu Mei and said, "Auntie, I don't want to go to the East Palace."
Wu Mei lowered her head to look at her son and said calmly: "You are the prince, what can you do if you don't go to the East Palace?"
Li Hong said angrily: "Unless the queen mother also moves to the East Palace."
When Wu Mei heard this, a smile appeared on her face and she said: "That's not possible, that's your place, not the place where the queen mother lives."
Li Hong firmly hugged Wu Mei's thigh with one arm and said angrily: "If Aniang doesn't go, Hong'er won't go either."
Wu Mei raised her hand and slapped Li Hong on the buttocks and said: "Don't mess around. After Emperor Qin makes the decree, you will go to the East Palace and learn your skills from the masters. If you learn your skills well, you will be better than anything else."
"
"How about my father also goes to live in the East Palace, so that my mother can go."
Wu Mei ignored the bastard son next to her and continued to flip through the documents in her hand. After reading for a while, she handed two of the documents to the female official and said: "Take it and execute it, it will take effect immediately."
Seeing that his mother was free, Li Hong continued to hold her legs and groaned, expressing his unwillingness to go to the East Palace.
This made Wu Mei extremely annoyed.
While the mother and son were still hesitating, Li Zhi brought the giant bear into the hall, took Li Xian from the palace servants, opened the swaddling clothes, looked at it, and then asked Li Hong with a smile why he provoked him.
Mother is angry.
Wu Mei said boredly: "Your son said that the East Palace is too big and he doesn't want to go, so he wants to find a small house with us to live in. He also said that he will not go unless His Majesty and I also go to the East Palace to live."
Li Zhi pulled Li Hong and said: "The East Palace is very good. My father used to live in the East Palace. Let me tell you, there is a green pavilion there. It is an unknown grass crawling all over the pavilion, giving the whole pavilion
They all put on a green dress, and every year in midsummer, my father would take a blanket and sleep there. Not only is it cool, but it is also where you can have the best dreams."
Li Hong thought about the scene described by his father and said cheerfully: "When next summer, father, mother, queen, and children, we will go to sleep in the green pavilion and have a good dream together."
Li Zhi laughed loudly after hearing this and said to Wu Mei: "Who doesn't want to secretly have a dream? Wu Mei, this child's nature is not like either of us."
Wu Mei smiled and said: "Fortunately, from the time I conceived this child to the time he was born, I was under His Majesty's nose. Otherwise, I would not be able to bear the crime of a son who is unworthy of his father."
Li Zhi took a look at Li Hong's eyebrows, then took a bronze mirror to look at himself. Finally, the father and son faced each other and looked into the mirror together. Li Zhi looked at it for a while, then dropped the mirror and said, "It's just like when I was a child."
The appearance of.”
Wu Mei smiled strangely, took Li Xian over, let Li Hong hold him, and asked Li Zhi to take another look at the two brothers.
This comparison shows everything. Li Hong has a pair of red phoenix eyes that are exactly the same as Li Zhi. The corners of the eyes of both father and son are slightly upward, but Li Xian is different. His eyes are rounder, and his nose is not as good as Li Zhi. Li Hong
It is so straight and straight, especially the midline on the lips, which is not as clear and distinguishable as Li Zhi and Li Hong.
Li Zhi glanced at Wu Mei angrily and said, "What can a child see?"
Wu Mei said slowly: "That's different. Master Huiru came to the palace to visit me when I gave birth to Hong'er. She once said that Hong'er's appearance was indescribable.
After Li Xian was born, Master Huiru also visited the palace. After seeing Li Xian, Master Huiru said nothing.
When it comes to observing people and images, Master Huiru’s ability is still superior to that of Master Xuanzang. Your Majesty, tell me, why is this?”
Li Zhi laughed out loud and said, "My heart is broken and I can't change it."
Wu Mei smiled bitterly and said: "In my place, even if it makes sense, Your Majesty will still argue with you for three points. Why is it that when you go to someone else's place, even if you don't make sense, why can Your Majesty still find three points of truth?"
Li Zhi patted the giant bear on the head and said, "I never doubted it."
Wu Mei sighed and said, "This is the first time I heard that being smart is also a sin."
Li Zhi hugged Li Hong and said to his son seriously: "Son, when you get a wife from now on, the more stupid you are, the better."
Li Hong nodded and said: "Kid, remember, if you want to marry a stupid wife in the future, even if she is not stupid, she must be beaten to a stupid wife."
Li Zhi nodded happily, and then said to Wu Mei: "My son is still wiser."
I recommend a friend’s new book, Ming Dynasty: Zhu Di and I Fight for the World. It’s a traditional history, unsystematic. Those who like the Ming Dynasty can read it. It’s a highly intelligent historical text. Brothers and sisters who are interested should take a look.
