Princess Lechang slowly raised her head. I don’t know when her eyes were shining brightly, and the pear blossoms were raining, which was pitiful. However, Lechang insisted on standing up slowly, wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, and turned around.
Walk straight towards the door.
This time, she didn't look back.
"Open the door, open the door for her. From now on, without my permission, she... No, no one is allowed to enter the imperial study at will!" Chen Xu's impatient voice boomed from behind Lechang, and it could be heard immediately.
The sound of broken flowerpots and porcelain clearly indicated that Chen Xu was angry again, and this time he did not restrain himself because of Lechang's presence.
The maid waiting at the door of the Imperial Study did not dare to say anything or even make a sound. She held her breath and carefully opened the door, then bowed and left.
Silks of cold rain rolled in with the wind, hitting Lechang's sleeves, hair and cheeks. However, Lechang was indifferent to the coldness and staggered across the threshold, with several people following her.
The maid who came over hurriedly came to greet him.
"Boom!" A muffled thunder exploded in the sky.
The dazzling electric light pierced the darkness, and countless lightning bolts continued to expand along the gaps in the dark clouds, winding like fiery snakes.
The electric light shone on Lechang's pretty face, causing the expressionless cheeks to flicker.
"Let's... go back." Lechang waved his hand gently, without looking at the flickering candlelight in the imperial study behind him.
At this time, the open door was slowly closed by the palace maid.
"Your Highness." A maid looked at Lechang with some worry. Compared with just now, Lechang's pretty face was not only gloomy, but also more tired, angry and helpless. And they all heard His Majesty's roar just now.
It's impossible to say that I'm not worried
"It's okay." Lechang whispered. It was only then that she seemed to have the courage to slowly turn around, but all she saw was the closed imperial study room.
At this moment, Lechang felt that the imperial study room that he had been familiar with since he was a child, and his father who worked diligently in correcting memorials in the imperial study room, had become so alienated and unfamiliar.
It is clearly within reach, but it seems to be far away.
But Lechang didn't know that in the imperial study room at this time, Chen Xu seemed to have summoned the last bit of strength and slowly sat down on the dragon chair that was watched by countless people. The wrinkles on his face suddenly looked a lot deeper.
The whole person looks older and sicker.
Closing his eyes, Chen Xu slowly took the next memorial, but did not open it in a hurry, but murmured:
"Leer, my father understands what you are thinking. It is true that Chen Shubao and Chen Shuling are your brothers, and it is true that they are my sons, but more importantly, they are the prince and the governor of Yangzhou. Of course... there is one more sentence
Dad should tell you that compared to a father, what is more important to him is the emperor of Chen..."
The words echoed slowly in the imperial study, but the door, which did not look very thick, blocked the wind and rain outside, and also blocked Chen Xu's words.
Chen Xu suddenly opened his eyes, opened the memorial in his hand with slight trembling, and said softly: "Le'er, I hope you will never be born into an emperor's family in the next life."
——————————————————
The wind and rain were like darkness, and the candlelight in the meeting hall was flickering.
Xiao Mohe reached out and took out a military report from his sleeve: "This is the news sent eight hundred miles away from Huaibei. Yu Wenyong is mobilizing troops from all over the country to prepare to go north to attack the Turks. Among the troops he mobilized,
They are mainly the troops that attacked Northern Qi before the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and there are also a small number of troops stationed in Huaibei and the vast majority of troops in Xiangyang."
Before Li Xingchen and the others could sit down, their expressions changed slightly when they heard the news. Xiao Shilian looked at Li Xingchen excitedly: "Shizhong, I didn't expect that you really expected me!"
"Yu Wenyong is young and energetic, and he certainly can't see the Turks being so arrogant in front of him, so it makes sense to raise his troops to the north." Li Xingchen said calmly, "No matter how hard the Northern Zhou barbarians can fight the Turks now,
, we can’t let this good opportunity pass by at any cost.”
Xiao Mohe nodded, and while passing the general report to Li Xingchen and others, he said in a deep voice: "I have read this military report. The troops mobilized to go north this time are all soldiers and horses who originally belonged to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. They stayed to defend various places.
The defensive line is composed of soldiers and horses from the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the guard in Huaibei is still an 'old acquaintance' Wang Gui."
"Old acquaintance" is a word that Xiao Mohe bites very hard. Xiao Mohe obviously still has fresh memories of his opponent Wang Gui. The last time he was in Luliang, Nan Chen almost lost all the capital he had accumulated over the past few decades.
In the hands of Wang Gui, Xiao Mohe will never forget this "kindness".
"Wang Gui is in Huaibei, which shows that the barbarians of the Northern Zhou Dynasty will not take Huaibei lightly." Pei Zilie gently rubbed his chin. Whenever he was in front of the military situation, he would become calmer than usual, and could even be said to be indifferent. "That's considered a transfer.
After removing the garrison in Xiangyang area, a sufficient general will be left to garrison..."
"Yu Chi Jiong." Xiao Mohe said in a deep voice, "Replace Yang Jian with Yu Chi Jiong, and Yang Jian and Wei Xiaokuan will serve as the left and right deputy commanders of the army and follow Yu Wenyong to the north."
"It seems that Yu Wenyong is not too worried about Yang Jian's in-laws." Li Xingchen said with a chuckle. Yang Jian's daughter is the official wife of Yu Wenyong, the prince of Yu Wenyong, and Yang Jian and Yu Wenyong are out-and-out in-laws.
However, at this time, Yu Wenyong personally went on an expedition and deliberately replaced Yang Jian with Yu Chijiong. Rather than appreciating Yang Jian's ability, it was more likely that he did not trust his in-laws, who had always harbored ulterior motives.
As we all know, in the so-called personal expedition, His Majesty the Emperor is the commander-in-chief, and the rest of the generals, no matter how outstanding they are, only have the choice to serve His Majesty the Emperor. Whether they are dispatching troops or executing other orders, they must be controlled by His Majesty.
And when the war is over, the credit belongs to His Majesty first. If unfortunately he is defeated, the blame will definitely be taken by the generals on the left and right.
Therefore, for the emperor, it is very majestic for the emperor to conduct military campaigns personally, but for the civil and military officials accompanying the court, this is not an easy and pleasant job. This is why in history, most of the emperors' personal military expeditions were opposed by the civil and military officials of the court.
It is dangerous for the emperor himself to be on the front line in person. Their worries about themselves are also an aspect that cannot be ignored.
Yang Jian, in particular, was better at handling government affairs than conquests. Under his overall management, Xiangyang was quite prosperous. At this time, Yu Chijiong, an old veteran, was replaced by Yang Jian before the battle, and Yang Jian was forced to leave the town.
When a civil servant becomes a military commander, he feels somewhat nondescript.
"This is a conflict between the barbarians of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and we have no way to intervene. But now that they have changed their generals before the battle, it is a good thing for us." Xiao Mohe said lightly.
