Wu Yu was already considered a woman with a relatively firm mind. Of course, she had acquired this ability through many years of military service with Zhao Guan's family. Others did not have her ability. For a time, many people in Tokyo felt like they were mourning for a concubine, and they were in constant panic all day long.
Concubine Wu has been in charge of the harem since Concubine Pan was demoted, and she severely dealt with several gossipy chambermaids. Although she only tried to calm the boil, she made the capital more stable in the end. However, some of the empress dowagers were a bit dissatisfied.
But Wu Yu's two sons were close by, and they were favored by the officials. Even if they were embarrassed when asking for greetings, they did not dare to go too far, for fear of seriously offending the officials.
After Wu Jin calmed down, he went straight to the palace to praise his daughter for doing a good job.
It is impossible for the army to turn back, the Northern Expedition cannot be stopped, and the will of the Zhao Guan family is even less likely to be shaken, so they have no choice but to adjust to their inner needs.
Naturally, she was highly praised by the ministers for her appearance, which was almost even praised in the imperial newspaper. However, Wu Yu understood that these secret pavilion officials and Zhao Guan's family did not really care about whether the harem was virtuous or not.
, of course it is a role model to take the lead, but that’s all.
So Wu Yu is still waiting for good news from the front line in peace and contentment, never asking about the affairs of the outer court. Of course, if there is any progress in the soldiers, everyone will know and pay attention to it. But now the closer to the New Year, the more he seems to be trapped in Zhao Guan's family
In the so-called strategic stalemate stage, the two places are frozen.
She felt uneasy and had nothing to say. She could not influence the victory or defeat of the Northern Expedition at all, but the success or failure of the Northern Expedition could determine her life, death, honor and disgrace. Wu Yu wished she could write a novel for Zhao Guan's family. Fortunately, she still had a son who could accompany him.
grow up.
Wu Yu remembered that on the first day of the 10th year of Jianyan's reign, it snowed heavily in Tokyo. Because it was still wartime, there were no grand celebrations.
It was just that several queen mothers and two concubines in the harem had a reunion dinner together under the service of the chambermaids. The children were very interested in having a snowball fight, but they were calmed down by the gentle persuasion of the eldest princess Foyou.
Queen Mother Wei felt sorry for her son and silently added a dumpling to Zhao Jiu's exclusive seat.
Empress Dowager Meng couldn't stand it and persuaded her: "The official has been in the army for more than ten years, so he must be used to it. Besides, we don't know how much food the country has, but whose food is in short supply during the New Year?
There will be no shortage of officials. Sister, please relax."
Empress Dowager Zheng also said: "If that doesn't work, just copy scriptures like me, and your mind will be much calmer."
Maybe everyone was frightened and thought about it, but there was nothing they could do. Anyway, everyone returned to their places quickly after the New Year. As a result, everyone became quiet, but suddenly a big news broke in the battle ahead: On New Year's Eve this year, Zhao Guanjia and Yue Pengju
According to the agreement between the monarch and his ministers, black gunpowder was used on the same day, which exploded Taiyuan and Yuancheng like thunder. Suddenly, there was a huge earthquake in the army, and the balance of victory tilted sharply. The Song Dynasty seemed to be only one step away from the bloodshed to wash away the humiliation of Jingkang.
Had a field battle.
The city of Tokyo cheered again. Although they had not seen such a miracle with their own eyes, they had seen the trebuchet blasting during the military parade. Thinking about it over the past few years, the power of the principles studied by Zhao Guanjia and Lu Gongxiang should have become more and more powerful at that time.
The news is so big that although the news of blowing up the city wall sounds fantasy, after digesting it, most of the citizens of Tokyo still believe it.
After all, eleven years ago, they didn't believe that the majestic Bianjing City would be captured by gold thieves. Nine years ago, they didn't believe that Emperor Daojun dared to bring 200 people to Tokyo to fight. And that Yaoshan Luodiao
legend.
So until today, most civilians still have a certain intuitive understanding of their officials.
Of course, when we arrived at Wu Yu's place, this understanding became even more profound. After all, they had lived together for eight or nine years.
But this is news thousands of miles away after all. The real situation depends on military reports. Only the Secret Pavilion has the authority to see that. After all, the harem cannot interfere in politics. But she has a new worry. Her youngest son is only over one year old.
He was already so skinny that he could barely walk. He was able to hide in a cupboard so that the wet nurse could not find him. This made everyone in the palace go crazy. They had to ask the remaining imperial class to search all over the place.
Catch this little ancestor.
Concubine Wu was also very angry and gave him a few hard blows with a chicken feather blanket.
Foyou has grown up, so he can't help taking care of his younger brother. He persuaded her: "Don't be angry, my dear. Although my brother is naughty, he is so energetic, which proves that he is in good health, which is also a good thing for our royal family. If you are worried in the future,
, it would also be good to recruit more chamberlains or maids to watch him walk, and to train some companions from his parents' house early on, and dad would not disagree."
Of course, Concubine Wu knew that Zhao Jiu would not object. After all, these things were trivial in his eyes. But looking at the graceful eldest princess, she remembered the rulers she wrote for Yue Yun. She herself really admired Zhao Guan's heart.
The pigs won't be angry even if they eat their own cabbage.
After all, Wu Yu did not have too long to be angry with his son. First of all, there was no overnight feud between mother and son, and secondly, the military supplies were consumed too quickly. After hearing about the performance of the people in the harem, the Zhao Guan family commended them vigorously and asked both of them to do so.
The lady continued to play an exemplary role. She led all the ladies in the capital to sew leather gloves and ear protection, and she could do as much as she could.
But according to people who came back with the message, after the defeat of Taiyuan City, Zhao Guan's family not only did not get excited, but fell into depression from time to time. For a while, the generals who were eager to make achievements were a little anxious. If it weren't for the noble concubine Xian Fei who was far away,
It is estimated that someone is going to ask them for advice.
Of course, Wu Yu didn't know the deep and complicated reasons here, and it was even less likely that Concubine Pan Xian knew about it. But deep in Wu Yu's heart, he felt that Zhao Guan's family was definitely not afraid of soldiers. If he was afraid of war, what would be his achievements in the past ten years?
Said?
Sure enough, after they sent another batch of gloves to the front line, Mi Ge received news that Zhao Guan's family had officially moved north with several commanders, and when they arrived along the Taiping River, they decided not to wait for Yue Fei to come from Hebei, but to go directly.
A decisive battle with Wanyan Balisu and Wanyan Wushu.
The two superpowers in the world today, after ten years of fighting each other, are finally going to see each other on the battlefield. Either the Song Dynasty was seriously injured and returned to the Central Plains to recuperate, or the Jin Kingdom died and the country was destroyed, and the race could not be preserved.
Of course Concubine Wu hoped that the Zhao family and the Song Dynasty would win. Of course, this was nonsense. No one in the entire Tokyo city, except the Jurchen spies, thought so.
But in fact, in the eyes of people who understand military affairs, as Taiyuan and Yuancheng changed hands, Zhao Guan's family was already in sight of victory, but it was the post-war disposition that worried him.
But what does it matter? I heard that the civil servants had some opinions on the Zhao Guan family's promise to be crowned king before the war.
But they are just opinions.
When Tokyo slowly returned to spring after the New Year, Zhao Guan's family arrived at his loyal Huolu.
