The northern captivity retreated, Yucheng was saved, and the news was transmitted back to the capital, and the prince breathed a sigh of relief. If Yucheng is broken, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Chen Yu said: "Your Highness, Qin Zhao is not suitable to be the guard of Yucheng. "If it weren't for Qin Zhao's improper command this time, Yucheng would not have faced such a big crisis at all.

The prince also agrees with Chen Yu's point of view in his heart, but he also has his concerns: "I don't have enough qualifications and prestige, and I can't be qualified for this position." After finishing speaking, he sighed and said, "It's a pity Yunqing." He felt that Yunqing was a general.

Chen Yu was silent for a moment and said, "Your Highness, fortunately, Yunqing is dead, otherwise we would be in even more trouble." "Yunqing's refuge in the Yu family, the prince already knows.

It was precisely because Yun Qing was dead that the prince would say this. If he was alive, he would definitely not let Yunqing take the position.

King Jing said: "Brother Jiu, this time the northern captivity is also a heavy loss, so there is no danger in Yucheng for the time being, and there is no hurry to change generals." However, the pension of the casualties and the replenishment of the recruits are imminent. ”

When it came to the pension, the prince had a headache. This time the casualties are so big, and the pension is in the millions, where can the treasury get such a large amount of money. The emperor doesn't care about things now, all the major affairs of the state have been handed over to the crown prince, the power is great, and the burden is heavy.

King Jing said: "Brother Jiu, there is no money in the household department, and this pension cannot be delayed." "King Jing felt that he could save some money in other places, or move other expenses later, and the pension could not be postponed.

The prince smiled bitterly and said, "Go and announce the book of the household." "Hundreds of thousands of people have to think of a way, but if you want to move out of these millions of dollars, where is it so easy. There is not much money in the treasury, and there is so much money to spend.

Chen Yu said: "Your Highness, the top priority is to recruit soldiers. "The 20,000 defenders still have a lot of wounded soldiers, so this time we have to recruit at least 80,000 or 90,000 recruits. From conscription to sending troops to the northwest, it will not be completed in three or four months, and this matter cannot be delayed.

The crown prince nodded, conscription is much easier than a pension.

In the evening, Chen Yu returned to Taining Houfu. At this time, Tai Ning Hou had not fallen asleep, Chen Yu went directly to Tai Ning Hou and told Tai Ning Hou about Yucheng: "Dad, I think this is an opportunity." "Chen Yu wants to go to the northwest, even if he can't take Qin Zhao's position, he can be the second-in-command, and when he has established enough prestige based on military merits, he will replace Qin Zhao. However, this thought can be told to his father, but not to the prince. Otherwise, it will make the prince feel that he is too ambitious.

Tai Ninghou was also a little moved, there is nothing more reassuring in this world than being in charge of the army: "Qin Zhao is the prince's person, even if he loses now, the prince will not let people replace him, not to mention that you are now the prince's right-hand man." The prince can't be without you by his side now. He knows very well what his son is capable of, and he also hopes that his son can make a contribution. But this is not so easy, and it must be carefully planned.

Chen Yu said: "Dad, with Qin Zhao's ability, he is not qualified for the position of the first general of Yucheng at all. If we plan well, we will definitely be able to pull him down. ”

Tai Ninghou was silent for a moment and said, "In the battle report, it didn't say that Yun Qing was dead, but that he was missing. Yu'er, we can't move until we get the exact news. "It's man-made, as long as they arrange it properly, it's not impossible to let their son go to the northwest. But the problem is that if Yunqing is not dead, no matter how careful their plan is, it will fail.

Chen Yu heard this and said, "Yunqing has been missing for more than ten days, and there is almost no chance of survival. ”

Tai Ning looked at Chen Yu and said, "Yu'er, no matter what happens, you must keep a cool head, otherwise you will easily do something wrong." "People like them, if they do something wrong, it can be fatal.

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, and said after half a ring: "Dad, I'm in a hurry." "The news from Yucheng is that Yunqing is missing, and there is no definite news that Yunqing is dead. If Yunqing hadn't died, even if he had lost this battle, the main responsibility would not have been on him, so he would not have been demoted. And with Yunqing here, even if he pulls down Qin Zhao, he won't be able to get into the position, and when the time comes, he will just do useless work.

Tai Ninghou didn't say anything to blame Chen Yu, he knew that it was not wrong for his son to want to make meritorious contributions: "If Yunqing hadn't died, there would definitely be news within ten days." ”

Chen Yu had already regained his composure and said, "Dad, if Yunqing is not dead, the Han family can't be allowed to stay in Yucheng anymore. With Han's here, there will be many variables in the future. "The families of high-ranking generals are all going to stay in the capital. On the surface, they are given a good life, but in fact these people are hostages. However, in recent years, the imperial court's control over the local area has not been as strong as before, and its control is not as strict as before, so it has not strictly implemented this requirement.

Tai Ninghou shook his head and said, "Yu'er, even if we can't be allies with Yunqing and the Han clan, we can't be enemies with them. "Han is not stupid, how can he be willing to separate husband and wife. So even if the prince gave an order, people could stay in Yucheng with serious illness. With the help of the Yu family, the Han family will not return to Beijing 100%.

Chen Yu didn't say anything.

Tai Ninghou said: "Yu'er, unless necessary, don't make enemies with people, especially with someone as smart as the Han family. ”

Chen Yu heard this and asked, "Dad, I didn't really believe Mr. Song's words before, but now I do." If Yunqing hadn't died, the Han clan would indeed have become a disaster. Chen Yu didn't believe that Yuxi sent food to help the soldiers in front of him in order to help people, and he was very sure that Han Yuxi did this to buy people's hearts. If Yunqing hadn't died, it wouldn't be long before he could control the 100,000 army in Yucheng. With someone like Han who is not right-hearted to assist him, in time, the imperial court will probably not be able to control Yunqing.

Tai Ninghou's opinion is completely different from Chen Yu: "Yu'er, this woman surnamed Song is Han's husband, even if she doesn't have an apprentice, she has a teacher-student friendship." When she said such things, she clearly wanted to put Han to death. The Han family has no grievances with her, but she can ask for the Han family's life, how credible do you think such a person's words are?"

Chen Yu has no feelings for Mr. Song, but he is indeed very taboo against Han Yuxi: "Dad, I think this woman Han is terrible." With him by Yunqing's side, sooner or later there will be chaos. He said this, which was also based on what Han had done.

Tai Ninghou said: "This is not something you should meddle in. Even if there is a mess in the future, there will be princely cuisine, and it has nothing to do with us. Yu'er, it's still the same sentence, if it's not necessary, don't make enemies with smart and powerful people. Otherwise, you will suffer a big loss. Tai Ninghou felt that he couldn't offend Yunqing and the Han family, because they had no feud and no conflict of interest.

Chen Yu was silent for a while, and said: "Dad, we can't watch such a big disaster and ignore it. ”

Tai Ninghou laughed when he heard this, and said, "Didn't you sue the prince for what the woman surnamed Song said?

Chen Yu said: "The prince said that this should be put in advance. ”

Tai Ning Hou snorted and said, "Why did the prince say that he wanted to put this matter aside? First, he thought that a woman from the Han family would not be able to make any waves, and second, he was afraid that he would kill the Han family and annoy Yunqing, and then it would lead to the consequences of Yan zhòng. And what you just said, if you let Yunqing and the Han family know, it is equivalent to erecting a powerful enemy for the Chen family. After a pause, Tai Ninghou continued: "Yu'er, even if the Han family returns to the capital, Yunqing will still be able to take Qin Zhao's position. Yunqing is not good at scheming, but he is indeed a natural handsome talent. The last sentence is the point.

Chen Yu's face froze, but it was his father on the other side, and he didn't argue.

As he was talking, the guard guarding the door outside said, "Master Hou, Lord Shizi, the chief housekeeper is waiting outside, saying that he has something to come back to." ”

Tai Ning looked at the big butler and asked, "What's the matter?"

Steward Chen said: "Master Hou, Master Shizi, the Han family received a letter from Yucheng. It didn't take long for Han Gong to go out to see Master Yu. The people we put in the Guogong Mansion spread the news that the Korean Gong looked more relaxed when he came out of the study. "Tai Ning Hou asked people to pay close attention to the movements of the Han family, so Steward Chen immediately reported it when he got the news.

Tai Ninghou nodded and said, "You go down!"

After the big housekeeper went down, Chen Yu said with a somewhat ugly face: "Yunqing, I'm afraid it's really not dead." "If Yunqing is dead, it is impossible for Han Gong to be very relaxed.

Tai Ninghou frowned and said, "This matter should not be prematurely concluded. It takes eight or nine days to get from Yucheng to the capital, and the messenger departs at least nine days ago. At that time, the Northern Captives were still attacking Yucheng, and even if Yunqing was not dead, it was impossible for him to return to Yucheng. But if it was not the news that Yunqing was not dead in the letter, it would be impossible for Han Jianming to go to Yu's house after getting the news, and it would be impossible for him to have a relaxed expression. So, it feels a little weird.

After separating from Master Yu, Han Jianming returned home. Mr. Zhao was a little worried, and said: "Grandpa Guo, the fourth girl said that General Yun did not die, but after all, he did not return to Yucheng, in case it really ...... How will I explain to the Yu family when the time comes?"

Han Jianming said with a smile: "What kind of temperament the fourth sister has, Mr. Zhao should also know." Since Yuxi said that Yunqing would be fine, then it must be fine. "It's not that you blindly believe in Yuxi, it's that Yuxi was originally a cautious person. If you don't know with certainty, you won't speak.

Mr. Zhao thought for a moment and nodded.

Han Jianming said with a smile: "This time, Qin Zhao will definitely be able to pull him down." "There was a defeat in the war before, and then the military information was leaked, these two crimes, coupled with the guilt of Qin Zhao collected by the Yu family, Qin Zhao will definitely not be able to be the head of Yucheng this time.

Mr. Zhao said: "Hope for a qiē shun lì. ”
