Lin Ye was in a daze in the government office in Junye City, sitting like this and not getting up for nearly an hour.
Xiao Zinai also sat beside him. He didn't move, and neither did Zinai.
She knew what her brother must be thinking. She felt that she was stupid and couldn't help, so she stayed with him.
To accompany her, but not to disturb her. She thought that if she asked, it would be an interruption.
It was almost noon when Lin Ye finally breathed out slowly, and it seemed that the knot between his brows was loosened.
When Zina saw her brother relaxed, her face became brighter.
"Walk."
Lin Ye gave Zina a hand.
Zina asked: "Where to go?"
Lin Ye said: "Last night you said you liked the dishes at their Jie Feng Banquet. I finally figured out how to make them. Now let's try them."
Zinai was stunned: "Brother, were you thinking about this just now?"
Lin Ye: "I mainly think about this, and I also think about other things."
Zina: "Are you going now?"
Lin Ye: "Go now."
Zinai: "But we have no place to cook."
Lin Ye said: "Yes."
So, when the emperor was coming to Junye City, and everyone else was trembling with fear, Lin Ye took Zinai to the street to do some shopping, and then found a quiet and beautiful lakeside.
Following the two of them, in addition to the first younger brother Gao Gong, there were also the Chu family brothers and the two big tigers of the Qi Army Camp.
Lin Ye wanted to understand two things.
The first thing is indeed the cooking methods of those dishes. Because the cooks should be famous chefs in Junye City, it is not easy to guess.
Just like martial arts masters have their own unique martial arts, famous chefs always have their own special dishes, and the recipes will certainly not be easily passed on to others.
The second thing, Lin Ye figured out, what should he do in Junye City at this time, and the most important thing is... do nothing.
No matter how big the storm is, as long as he doesn't walk in now, the storm has nothing to do with him.
But to avoid this storm at this moment seems a bit cowardly.
Emperor Jade said that he is very young, and young people should not be too mature, nor should they follow the mean.
But Lin Ye just wanted to avoid it.
They had a lot of fun playing by the lake. Although they didn't go to Chengge Ling, they couldn't gain anything from this trip.
At the same time, Fengyuan.
Emperor Jade and Tuoba Lie were having lunch together. This could probably be regarded as the emperor's family banquet.
Gu Xiujin, the eunuch in charge, said that this was Lin Ye's great luck after Lin Ye had a breakfast with Emperor Jade.
But in his opinion, it was perfectly normal for Tuoba Lie to accompany His Majesty for lunch.
Because that is Tuoba Lie, the unique Tuoba Lie in the whole Dayu.
Now it seems that His Majesty has special favor for two people, one is Concubine Wan Gui, and the other is himself.
But Gu Xiujin knows very well that the people who can be trusted now are far inferior to the people who were trusted by His Majesty in the beginning.
Because it was really difficult for His Majesty at that time. There were not many people who could trust him. Unfortunately, there were only two of them.
One is Tuoba Lie, who has become the king of Beiye, and the other is Liu Jigong, who has long since died in the field.
He stood by and waited. For the first time, he felt that this meal was really a common meal.
Emperor Jade rarely eats meat, but he knows that Tuoba Lie loves meat, so today's lunch is not as light as when he and Lin Ye had breakfast.
"When do you think it would be better for me to leave for Yunzhou?"
Emperor Jade suddenly asked Tuoba Lie.
Tuoba Lie gnawed on the bones and replied: "It makes no difference whether your Majesty is going or not." Emperor Jade smiled.
Going to Yunzhou, with the dignity of the emperor, to question his nephew, does this make outsiders look a little angry?
It seems that Emperor Jade is not calm and calm. Tuoba Lie said that he can go or not, but in fact he is trying to persuade Emperor Jade that it is best not to go.
Emperor Jade said: "Then who should go?"
Tuoba Lie said: "I am willing to cooperate."
Emperor Jade laughed heartily: "You are indeed dishonest and smarter than a fox."
Tuoba Lie chuckled and continued to eat his meat. He seemed to have nothing to do with the majestic general in the Beiye Army.
"Then let Mr. Zuo Xiang go."
Emperor Jade said: "If you are willing to cooperate, I will let you cooperate."
Tuoba Lie stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Jade said: "You want to run a house raid and make a profit from it, but you don't want to take any major responsibility. You are nothing like before."
Tuoba Lie: "My lord, I'm getting old. When people get old, they become treacherous and greedy for petty gains."
Emperor Jade smiled.
He said: "After eating this meal, go back to Yunzhou. After taking all the people, send them to Geling."
Tuoba Lie looked up at Emperor Jade and said helplessly, "The manpower I can allocate is really not enough. I'm afraid I won't be able to send too many people to Geling."
Emperor Jade replied: "As much as you can give."
Tuoba Lie leaned over and said, "I obey your order."
The meal was eaten very slowly. He and Yu Tianzi talked a lot, but what they talked about the most was not the past. They were all common things, nothing important.
Emperor Jade didn't ask him about the military situation in northern Xinjiang or the situation outside the border. He just asked him when he planned to find a good woman and get married and have children in a serious manner.
After lunch, Tuoba Lie left Fengyuan without going to see Wanyu Tower.
Early the next morning, Tuoba Lie returned to Yunzhou with his entourage. Just like when Tathagata arrived, only a few close followers followed him without any fanfare.
On the other hand, the team from Wanyu Building seemed to be quite large, and there were even 1,200 forbidden troops following them.
There were so many people, so they naturally walked slowly, which was incomparable to Tuoba Lie and others who walked back lightly.
At this moment, Lin Ye was still in Junye City. He could pretend to hide away, but he couldn't hide back home.
He knew that Emperor Jade would see him again, and it wouldn't take too long.
Just after Zuo Xiang Wan Yulou took the imperial army to Yunzhou, people from Fengyuan were sent to summon Lin Ye to meet the saint again.
This time it was not in the hut, but in the garden. Lin Ye walked behind Yu Tianzi, about one step behind.
The emperor seems to like the scenery in this garden very much. He walks around and looks at it. When he encounters a flower he likes, he will stop and observe it carefully.
The emperor didn't say anything, and Lin Ye followed behind quietly.
After walking to the edge of the small lake, the emperor waved to Lin Ye to come to him.
"As for Yu Yu Cheng Chong, I ask you, how do you think it should be handled?"
Lin Ye replied: "I think it is better to stay in Dayu."
Emperor Jade said: "Stay there?"
Lin Ye replied: "Yunzhou."
Emperor Yu glanced at Lin Ye: "Then why can't it be Ge Ling?"
Lin Ye said: "Yunzhou is close."
Emperor Jade laughed: "When I was chatting with Tuoba yesterday, I said that he was an old fox and you were just a little fox."
If Yu Yu Cheng has been brought to Geling, then Yu Yu Cheng has been allowed to stay in Dayu by Emperor Yu, either as a refuge or as a hostage.
But if Yu Yu Chengchang is in Yunzhou instead of Geling, then it can only be said that Yu Yu Chengchang is staying in Yunzhou and does not want to leave.
How could Emperor Jade, the common ruler of the world and the holy emperor of dozens of countries, hold a prince of Shu hostage?
How could it be possible that leaving a prince in a subject country would make the king of the subject country feel that Emperor Jade wanted to support the prince and get rid of him?
Therefore, Yu Yucheng has no choice but to stay on his own for the time being, staying in the border town, not in the imperial capital.
Emperor Jade said: "I heard from Tuoba that he wanted you to go to Shangwuyuan, but you haven't gone because you feel you are not qualified enough."
Lin Ye said: "My lord, my qualifications are indeed relatively low."
Emperor Jade: "He is confused, what are you doing in Shangwuyuan?"
Lin Ye didn't answer.
Shangwuyuan was established by the Kitano Army in Yunzhou with the purpose of cultivating talents for the Kitano Army.
The young people who graduated from the Shangwu Academy were at most a school captain, and most of them were assigned to the Kitano Army as hundred captains.
Lin Ye is already a fourth-grade general, so what's the point of going to Shangwuyuan? That's the Shangwuyuan of the Kitano Army.
Emperor Jade said: "You can go back to Yunzhou tomorrow. As for the Shangwu Academy, you can go if you want to go. If you don't want to go, don't go."
Lin Ye leaned over and said, "I obey your order."
Emperor Yu said: "The Qi military camp can be moved north from time to time. It does not have to be stationed in Yunzhou all the time. Now that we have trained our troops, we can go to the frontier to see it."
Lin Ye's heart was slightly shaken.
"Okay, you can go back."
Emperor Yu seemed to have finished talking, and waved his hand to indicate that Lin Ye could leave.
Gu Xiujin sent Lin Ye out of Fengyuan, with a gentle smile on his face all the way.
He seems to be a person who loves to laugh, and when he smiles, there is no trace of hypocrisy.
"If the prince is favored by the saint, he will have a bright future."
He said: "In the future, there is no chance that the Marquis will be transferred to Geling. At that time, I will be able to meet the Marquis a few more times."
Of course he couldn't directly say, "please take care of the marquis in the future". If he said that, it would be a eunuch making friends with ministers, which would be a capital crime.
Lin Ye said: "Thank you very much, Manager Gu Ji Yan. I was also looking forward to going to Geling. It's a pity that I couldn't go this time."
Gu Xiujin said: "There is no need to regret it. Considering the age of the Marquis, it is a little early to go to Geling."
This is already a direct reminder.
You are still relatively young, so it will be harmful rather than beneficial when you arrive at Geling. At your age and in that kind of environment, there is a high probability that you will be manipulated to the point of sinking.
In a place like Geling, not to mention that people who don't know how to swim can easily drown, but there are also many people who know how to swim.
He sent Lin Ye to the door, leaned down and saluted: "I will send the Marquis here. I wish the Marquis a bright future and a smooth journey."
Lin Ye thanked him, said goodbye, and then gathered his men to go home.
When I came, I protected Yuyu Chengchang and others. When I went back, I took Yuyu Chengchang alone.
When Yu Yucheng looked at Lin Ye hurriedly, his eyes seemed a little guilty, but he hesitated to speak, feeling embarrassed to say it.
Lin Ye didn't think so. If a person wants to move up, he can't just look at what he gets, but also has to give.
Tuoba Lie worked for more than ten years to let everyone know that the emperor doubted him and even feared him.
What Lin Ye wants to do at this time is indeed nothing compared to Tuoba Lie.
Because he does not need to bear the charge of rebellion at any time, after all, he is not a general.
He just took in a Prince of Dongbo privately. If necessary, he would bear the blame.
He understood it himself, and Yu Yu Chengchang also understood it when he learned that he was going to return to Yunzhou with Lin Ye.
To Lin Ye, this is just a small pot, nothing much.
His team didn't seem to be in a hurry to go home when they were in Junye City, but when they left the city, they were marching in a hurry.
Lin Ye just wanted to go back and see the excitement in Yunzhou City.
If you go back too late, you won't be able to learn General Tuoba Lie's thunderous tactics.
