Yi Huaiyu couldn't remember who said that he was born with a stubborn streak and would never settle for a mediocre and stable life.
In fact, he did not hate this kind of fatalistic judgment. Although he was alienated and disgusted by the late emperor for this, in the end, his "rebellious character" won the world. He stood on the highest mountain on the outskirts of the imperial capital and looked into the distance.
At that time, the real sense of victory made him intoxicated, and the unknown scenery further in the distance made him addicted. The urge to take the entire land of Zhongzhou into his hands became stronger and stronger.
"After annexing the Jiang Kingdom, Dayao bordered the Zhao Kingdom. I have been looking forward to fighting with several famous generals of the Bai family. This day has really made me wait too long." He narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to the void, pointing through his fingers.
Looking at the clear sky and majestic mountains, the feeling as if everything was in the palm of his hand made the young Emperor Yaoguo smile proudly, "Suiliang, I said I will let you see miracles, as long as you never leave and follow me."
By your side, you will know that there will be a day when Yao Guo will be proud."
The confident tone is not unfamiliar to Ou Suiliang. It is the domineering and inviolable momentum of a king. It is also the dazzling light that makes him obsessed and willing to be loyal to him forever.
"Does Your Majesty still insist on going on a personal expedition? Although Yao Junxian's faction has been basically eradicated, there are still many powerful officials who secretly want to imitate Yao Junxian in politics. Your Majesty is not worried that there will be trouble in the palace during the expedition?"
Waving his hands nonchalantly, Yi Huaiyu said confidently: "Why should the emperor worry about having Jun Fang sit in battle? Besides, after separating the power of commanding troops from the power of dispatching troops according to Jun Fang's proposal, the number of soldiers and horses that the generals can directly control has been greatly reduced. If you want to
It's not that easy to cause trouble."
Is it Shen Junfang again?
Ou Suiliang lowered his head silently, his worried eyes focused on a corner where Yi Huaiyu couldn't see.
It is undeniable that Shen Junfang is a genius. He is also a young man who has read poetry and books. Those dull and boring scholars who only quote scriptures all day long cannot be compared with Shen Junfang - the history that happened in the land of Zhongzhou gathered in Shen Junfang's mind.
Chenghe, and as a reward for Yi Huaiyu saving him and promoting him as an exception, Shen Junfang condensed thousands of years of turbulent waves into precious experience. Whether it was marching and setting up formations or making decisions on governing the country, the advice given by this young man was often amazing.
Incessantly, like an old man full of wisdom, he illuminates the way forward for Yi Huaiyu.
Therefore, the image left by Shen Jun in everyone's mind is perfect. It seems that only Ou Suiliang is worried about certain things, hesitant when talking to Yi Huaiyu, and has repeated conflicts and entanglements.
The expedition will take several months at the very least. If we don't tell him now, will something irreversible happen?
As he continued to suffer from this thought, Ou Suiliang finally chose to speak frankly, coughing slightly and speaking bravely.
"Is His Majesty too trusting of Master Shen? Putting aside the jealousy of many ministers towards Master Shen, it is not easy for him to suppress civil and military officials at his age. If there is any dispute or conflict when His Majesty is away, who else can take his place?
Is Guoshi Shen supporting me? Recently there have been rumors in the palace that Guoshi Shen frequently visits Huanqing Palace. If someone makes a fuss about this matter, it will not only be the harem or the front court that will cause chaos."
It is something that should not be taken lightly when it comes to the atmosphere in the palace, but Yi Huaiyu laughed as if he had heard a joke, turned around, and still had the same look of determination and no doubt: "How to make those ministers obedient and be careful?
He has far more clever ideas than you think. As for the rumors, they are pure nonsense - it was under my instruction that Jun Fang went to Huanqing Palace to discuss some matters with Tu'er. During the conversation, he found that Yu'er liked him very much.
So I came up with the idea of teaching Yu'er and other princes poetry, calligraphy and etiquette. I thought there was no one else more qualified for this task, so I agreed. You should know that Yu'er was born prematurely, so his body is weaker than other princes, and he is usually sticky.
He is so clingy that he always gets bullied every time he gets together with other princes. In this case, isn't it natural for him to be a professor in Huanqing Palace? It's only because those palace maids and eunuchs like to create rumors, no matter how fair things are done to them
The taste in my mouth has changed."
Apart from himself, there is another person who Yi Huaiyu can trust unconditionally. This makes Ou Suiliang very comfortable. However, when faced with the doubts that he had hesitated to raise for a long time, they were simply ignored. In any case, he could not laugh.
Yi Huaiyu was an enlightened king, and there were no explicit regulations prohibiting officials from entering the harem, nor regulations prohibiting concubines from interacting with outsiders. According to his words, those concubines had "some background," so it would be better to take them out if they were hidden in the palace.
Basking in the sun can more or less strengthen the connections between various countries and princes and generals. For example, Queen Sima Dalan, although Yi Huaiyu secretly warned the ministers not to approach Huanqing Palace, Sima Yuan and Shen Junfang were exceptions.
He needs an orderly harem. Meeting his only relative is a reward for Sima Duran's meritorious service, and Shen Junfang is the most suitable talent to train the prince.
Ou Suiliang understood Yi Huaiyu's intentions in all his arrangements, but the young Imperial Preceptor always made him uneasy, as if sooner or later some trouble would happen from Shen Junfang. Of course, these premonitions were baseless, and whenever Ou Suiliang asked Yi Huaiyu
When Yu mentions it, he always feels guilty, but in the end, Yi Huaiyu often laughs it off, and is immersed in the smoke of the war that he is about to start with one hand.
The battle situation at the front was constantly reported back to the imperial capital. While the distant army quickly defeated Jiang State and marched into Zhao State, Shen Junfang, who was sitting firmly in the imperial study, took care of the affairs of the court in an orderly manner. Going to Huanqing Palace every morning after court became an unchanging rule.
.
"I met Concubine Shu in the south garden a few days ago. I was shocked when I saw the fifth prince she was holding in her hand. He is only over two years old. Why is he so strong? But the child doesn't look very much like the emperor, maybe.
She inherited more blood from her mother's side." During Yi Chenyu's nap, Sima Duran was used to chatting with Shen Jun at random.
"The fifth prince..." Shen Jun paused for a moment and smiled thoughtfully, "The fifth prince is not in good health like the prince, but he is very smart. It only takes him an hour to read poems that other princes have to read all afternoon.
If he can recite it fluently, the emperor is very fond of him."
"Even if you are not so smart, you will still be favored. You see, Concubine Shu is a typical mother-in-law. She is just a concubine from a fourth-grade civil servant family. After giving birth to the fifth prince, she was immediately named a noble concubine; even when she gave birth to a child, she was with other people.
The concubine is different. The emperor is waiting outside the door to hold the child. No one else has enjoyed this honor."
Since Shen Junfang often came to Huanqing Palace, Sima Tulan's mental state has improved a lot. However, when she mentions Yi Huaiyu, the uncontrollable silence between her eyebrows still breaks into Shen Junfang's sight.
No matter how strong she is, she is still a woman. Seeing her beloved husband doting on other women, it is understandable that she cannot help but be envious and jealous.
"The Emperor has never been to Huanqing Palace before going on the expedition... Why doesn't the Emperor feel sorry for such a good person like the Queen?"
