When Yun Ye entered the palace, there were eight people. When they left the palace, only Yun Ye and his wife, Xiao Ya, were left by Concubine Yin to accompany her in the palace. Yun Shou didn't know how he coaxed his eldest grandson. Anyway, he was going to be in the palace with his younger brothers and sisters.
I played for two days, mainly because I heard that Li Tai had developed something called fireworks, and that they cast beautiful anomalies at night.
Going to Lao Cheng's house without taking the children made Lao Cheng very unhappy. He casually gave Yun Ye the five strings of gold tassels he wore. He originally wanted to hang them around the children's necks, but he had already stopped hanging them for Yun Ye.
Having lost that interest, now only soft and fragrant dolls are what Lao Cheng likes to see the most.
Others came to Lao Cheng's house and had a few decent dishes. When Yun Ye and his wife came, they just cooked a big pot of bones. A table of men and a table of women gnawed the bones around the table. It looked like the savage era.
Mrs. Cheng is used to it, Xin Yue is used to it, Qinghe was not used to it before, but he got used to it after marrying into the Cheng family, and now he is grabbing a big piece of bone to eat.
Yun Ye sprinkled salt and pepper on the bones and rubbed the two bones against each other so that the salt and pepper were evenly applied to the two bones. Don't tell me, although eating like this is rough, it has a unique flavor.
Cheng Chuliang is already married. His husband is Yuan Zhang. He brought trouble to a little granddaughter whom Mr. Yuan Zhang regarded as his treasure. Yuan Zhang forced Lao Cheng to agree to this marriage. It took less than half of the time from the appointment to the marriage.
For months, Yun Ye didn't make it in time to attend the wedding. There was nothing he could do about it. If the marriage didn't happen, the little girl would become pregnant.
This incident made Lao Cheng proud for more than half a year. Being able to be pinched by a generation of Emperor Wenzong and forcing him to marry someone else's daughter was the only honor that the Cheng family had. Mr. Yuan Zhang was almost pissed to death because of this matter. Cheng Chuliang died a few years ago
I was beaten severely three times by Mr. Yuan Zhang, and when the child is born later this year, I will probably be beaten several more times.
Cheng Chubi is a good boy, gentle and well-mannered, a top student from the academy. Now he is practicing in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Many wealthy families are willing to get married. When Lao Cheng heard that the emperor intended to marry a princess, Lao Cheng's family rejected all the offers.
The wealthy family said it would take a few years to decide. They had to wait until the emperor responded before making a decision.
Cheng Chuliang has begged Yun Ye several times. He wanted to join the Lingnan Navy mainly because he wanted to avoid Mr. Yuan Zhang. According to him, those beatings were severe and he would not care at all if Mr. Yuan Zhang attacked him.
, but Mr. Yuanzhang invited Mr. Wuji to be the executioner, so running to Lingnan and hiding was the best choice.
Yun Ye used chopsticks to poke out the pig bone marrow bit by bit, took two beautiful sips and said to Cheng Yaojin: "Uncle, what do you think of Chu Liang going to the Lingnan Navy? He has already been appointed as a lieutenant at Zhechong...
Even if he is a seventh-grade official, this master's nephew can still do it. Let him work under Yang Yueming for a few years, and he will get the position first and then we can discuss other arrangements. You, old man, can decide whether this arrangement is suitable or not."
Hearing Yun Ye talk about his affairs, Cheng Chuliang immediately threw down his bones, sat upright, and stared at his father without blinking. He very much hoped that his father would agree. Cheng Chumo also punched his brother on the shoulder.
Boxing to express congratulations.
Lao Cheng took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Go and serve as a soldier under you. Why don't you worry about me? I can't do it now. I have to wait until Mr. Yuan Zhang gets rid of his bad temper. The bastard did something embarrassing.
You don't have any sense of responsibility and want to run away and hide. This is not possible. The Cheng family does not produce cowards. When you dared to make Su Su's belly bigger, you must be responsible. Mr. Yuan Zhang didn't put the two of them in the pig cage and they were already in the net.
Let’s open up.”
Yun Ye nodded and pretended not to see Cheng Chuliang's dead face. Lao Cheng was right to deal with it this way. Mr. Yuan Zhang's anger must be resolved. Yun Ye didn't dare to think that a square person like Mr. Yuan Zhang could hear this.
How did you feel when your granddaughter got pregnant out of wedlock? It was nothing but a thunderbolt.
In this way, the first thing the old man thought about was not to cover up, but to pinch Lao Cheng's neck and ask his family to come to propose marriage immediately. This shows that he really likes Susu to the core, and for the sake of his granddaughter's future, he will give up his old face. As for the
Afterwards, asking Mr. Wu Tongue to punish Cheng Chuliang by splitting his muscles and bones is really not a big deal.
Seeing that his fate had been sealed, Cheng Chuliang could only lament and continue to pick up the bones and chew on them. Thinking of Mr. Tongueless's perverted and terrifying torture methods, he had no appetite even for eating dragon liver and phoenix marrow.
"I'm not worried about Chu Liang. It's just a bit of torture. There's no harm in it. What uncle is worried about is Chu Mo. He's a single-minded man who only wants to fight for real on the battlefield all his life. It's a pity that he's lucky.
Unfortunately, he did not catch up with His Majesty's Eastern Expedition, nor did he catch up with you during the fierce battle in the South China Sea. Wuzhou's terrain is remote and its people are simple. If there is no war there, he is unwilling to stay there, so he broke the governor's legs and ran back.
It was originally a crime of beheading, but His Majesty covered it up. He didn't listen to anything I said. You are brothers, and your words should be more effective than me, the father. If you have nothing to do, talk to him more, and don't dare to do anything wrong."
!
Yun Ye smiled and toasted Lao Cheng with a glass of wine and said, "Look, there will definitely be a fierce war in the Tang Dynasty within three years. Chu Mo will stay in the capital, and we may all go to war by then."
Lao Cheng glanced at Yun Ye in shock and said: "Tell me, what's going on? Why didn't I feel that there would be a war within three years? Who would the opponent be? Goryeo? Tubo? Impossible!"
Cheng Yaojin saw it very accurately. No one around the Tang Dynasty dared to say a word of nonsense. The entire Eastern world was looking at Li Er's face. No one, absolutely no one dared to make a mistake.
"When spring comes, the food and grass and the weapons we replaced to support the Turks' Western Expedition will be handed over to the Turks, Uighurs and those people with the nine surnames of Zhaowu. They want to conquer the West, and the imperial court supports it. They can give them some food and grass.
It is very cost-effective to vacate the grasslands and deserts and leave enough strategic buffer space for the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the direct consequence of this is that Tubo is surrounded by the Tang Dynasty on three sides. We can't climb the plateau, but they can't even imagine that they can.
Come down."
Lao Cheng thought for a while and said: "I know this, it is the business of the savages. What do they have to do with us? We can just watch the fun without helping each other. Do we have to send our own children to help those Turks? Die.
It’s a good thing if it’s light.”
"Uncle, you can't say that. My nephew is willing to bet that the Turks cannot defeat the cannibals and will be blocked on the plateau. When they are unable to advance or retreat, they will ask for help from our court. Your Majesty will definitely agree to the Western Expedition.
, Perennial peace is very detrimental to a country's military. Regardless of whether it is for the purpose of training troops or to enhance the power of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Expedition is inevitable. The Caliphate of Great Eclipse wants the glory of Allah to shine all over the world.
, for Your Majesty, the consequences of this kind of invasion of people's hearts are worse than the invasion of land. Once you let it go and let the cannibals kill all the Turks, the cannibals will become the new neighbors of the Tang Dynasty. If this happens
Neighbor, given His Majesty’s temperament, what do you think will happen?”
"Your Majesty will seize his wife, children and house and turn them into his own, and then bury this neighbor in the soil to feel at ease. Do you mean to let Chumo participate in sending food and grass supplies to the Turks?" Cheng
Yao Jin knocked on the table and asked Yun Ye.
"Yes, if we get things done, then it will be a matter of course for us to join the war. My nephew estimates that this is almost the last fierce battle of the Tang Dynasty. After this battle, there will be no war in the West for a hundred years."
Cheng Chumo looked at his father pleadingly. If he could not get enough military glory in this battle, he would remain unknown for the rest of his life.
"Will you go too? If you go too, your brothers will have someone to take care of you on the battlefield. This is very important. Looking back on my life's battles, I will only let go and do anything when there are brothers who are really at ease around me. Otherwise, I will let go."
, I will definitely leave a third of my strength to prepare for the retreat. Only if you both go, will I feel free to let you go on the Western Expedition." Lao Cheng's face was solemn. He himself is a veteran who has been in the war for a long time. How could he not know this?
According to the general's principle, the journey of this Western Expedition alone is thousands of miles away. There is no need to march. Just walking this distance will cause the loss of more than 30% of the army. This is still a conservative estimate.
What's more, he still needs to fight the most powerful enemy. Without a reliable partner, Lao Cheng would not let Cheng Chumo take risks in any case. Losing his eldest son for military glory would be a big disaster.
Yun Ye stood up, opened the window, looked at the flying white snow outside, and said to himself: "My soul may have been lost in the northwest. I want to find it. These days, I always dream about the Gobi, the desert, and splendens.
There are also tall Populus euphratica, so I want to take a look. Wangcai always calls to the west, and it also wants to go west. When Wangcai and I encouraged each other to walk out of the wilderness, I always felt that I had lost something.
Therefore, I must go to the west. No matter whether I can find my soul or not, at least I have found it and can comfort myself. Wangcai is fourteen years old this year. If I don’t go to the west in the next few years,
I'm worried it won't be able to move."
Heavy snow poured into the window and also fell on Yun Ye's face. He touched his face and found that it was wet. He didn't know whether it was tears or snow. He had keenly discovered the Western Expedition since the beginning of the Turkic Expedition.
It was not until recently that the three provinces agreed to the Turks' request that he was very sure that the Western Expedition was coming. He really wanted to go to the wilderness of Longyou again, and wanted to take a look at the spring and look down.
He was digging to see if he could find a way back. He really wanted to go back and see how he came to Datang from the puddle in the first place.
Cheng Chumo patted Yun Ye on the shoulder to comfort him: "No matter what you lost, I will help you find it. If you can't find it, we will grab it. No matter who has it, we will grab it for him until we can't fit it in."
