Chapter 406: Inspecting the Barracks
Du Wenwen and his party waited for about a quarter of an hour, and a man about forty years old walked out of it. The man was not wearing armor or official uniforms, but was dressed in a crimson robe.
Huo Changqing looked at Du Wenwen and said, "You must be Lord Du, right?" I am Huo Changqing, Yunqing's uncle. Yunqing, this kid is not good at dealing with people, if he says something that he doesn't like, please ask Lord Du Haihan. ”
Du Wenwen heard this and said: "It turned out to be Uncle Huo, let Uncle Huo come over to pick up the juniors in person, and the juniors are ashamed." "Even if Huo Changqing doesn't have an official position, but in this identity, he has to come respectfully. I can't say, this is the key person who said Tongyunqing.
Huo Changqing is not a person who often laughs, and he will not be flattering, and said: "Lord Du is polite, just now Yunqing told me that Lord Du wants to go and see the situation in the barracks. ”
Du Wenwen nodded and said, "The prince heard General Qin Zhao say that the life of the soldiers in the border city was extremely difficult last time, so he took this matter to heart. This time, I asked the lower officials to come over to see what the soldiers lacked and what they lacked, and His Royal Highness said that he would rather suffer himself and the hundred officials, and he would never be bitter about the soldiers who shed their blood to defend the country. The meaning of this is that if the soldiers are really having a hard time, the prince will definitely do his best to make the life of these soldiers easier.
Huo Changqing couldn't say how grateful the prince was for the border city soldiers, and said at the moment: "Please come with me, Lord Du." After speaking, he took Du Wenwen to the training ground, looked at the simple equipment in the training ground, and then took Du Wenwen to the place where the soldiers lived.
Pointing to a whitewashed quilt, he said, "This quilt has been used for five years, and it has long been unwarm." In winter, it is not warm at all in this life, and the soldiers have no choice, so only two of them sleep together, so that they can also take off each other's warmth. ”
After saying this, he pointed to a soldier who came in and said, "Take off your cotton clothes and show them to Lord Du." ”
came out of the place where the soldiers lived, and took Du Wenwen to the horse farm and the gang's room, pointing to the black nest head, Huo Changqing said: "In addition to the New Year's Festival, the soldiers can only eat meat on the eve of the war. Normally, it's nice to be full. This means that the life of a soldier has become too bitter to be any longer.
After visiting the barracks, Du Wenwen's heart seemed to be pressed against a stone, and Du Wenwen said, "What about General Yun?" I want to meet General Yun? ”
Huo Changqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, then you can come with me!" ”
Yunqing, the place where the general lived, was also very simple, there was a map hanging on the wall of the house facing the door, except for a long table and a few chairs, and a pot of burning charcoal in the room, there was nothing else.
Du Wenwen saw this qiē in his eyes and said, "General Yun, the lower official has something to say to General Yun?" The meaning of these words is very clear, the prince has something to pass on to him in private.
Yunqing waved his hand, except for Huo Changqing, everyone else in the room went down. This habit was influenced by Yuxi, and Yuxi waved his hand directly without opening his mouth when he asked people to go down. I have to say that Yuxi's influence on Yunqing is still very large.
Everyone left, Yun Qing said with a cold face: "If you have anything to say, I still have a lot of things to deal with." "The attitude is the same as before, it hasn't changed at all.
Du Wenwen didn't hide it anymore, and said, "General Yun, this time the prince specially ordered the lower officials to come and visit General Yun." Seeing that Yun Qing was silent, Du Wenwen said: "General Yun, the prince knows that the previous incident has wronged General Yun. The prince was also unaware of it before, and immediately corrected this mistake after knowing it. The prince also said that there would never be such a thing in the future. This is very vague, the so-called grievances actually refer to Yunqing's outstanding military achievements, but he was pressed by the Song family to prevent him from being promoted.
When Yun Qing heard this, he didn't speak with a calm face. If it weren't for the eldest brother, knowing that Yu Xiang promoted him in order to win him over and ignore the Song family's obstruction, he really thought that the prince came forward to promote him! As a prince, he didn't say a word true, and he risked his work, which is really shameful.
Du Wenwen made the meaning of the prince clear and understood, and seeing that Yunqing was still silent, he was a little breathless, and asked: "General, the lower official has said so much to the general, does the general have anything to say?" ”
Yunqing raised his head, looked at Du Wenwen and said, "My duty is to guard Yucheng and not let the northern captives step into Yucheng for half a step." "Meaning something else, he doesn't mix.
At this time, Guo Xun shouted outside: "General, Yu Zhi has sent medicine." "Since Yuxi knew that Yunqing was sick, he had to eat medicinal food three times a day every day.
Yunqing said coldly: "Take it in!" "Actually, now this medicinal diet has been improved by Yuxi, and the taste is much better than before, but Yunqing still doesn't like to eat it.
After hearing this, Du Wenwen asked, "Is the general sick?" "Looking at Yunqing's vitality, it doesn't look like he's sick.
Huo Changqing said with a smile: "Yunqing has insomnia, and it just so happens that Han has studied pharmacology, so he boiled medicinal food for him to eat." After eating it for a while, the insomnia was relieved a lot. Speaking of which, I have to thank the emperor for the marriage between the emperor and the concubine! Otherwise, Yunqing would not be able to marry such a virtuous wife. "For Yuxi, Huo Changqing couldn't be more satisfied.
Du Wenwen's heart choked, but he said with a smile on his face: "Emperor Shengming, General Yun is so blessed." Other than that, he really didn't know how to answer. He knew that last year, Han and Tai Ninghou's second son were about to get married, but they quit two days before they got married. Although it is said that the words released are that Han's is seriously ill, and the two children do not agree, but those who are discerning don't know that there is a cat in it. Later, he also heard that the two quit because Princess Qin Xin fell in love with Chen Ran. As for why Princess Qin Xin didn't Shang Chen Ran as a colt later, he didn't know. But he clearly knew one thing, that is, Song Guifei was uneasy and kind to give the marriage that day.
Yunqing looked up at Du Wenwen and said, "I don't know when Lord Du will go back?" ”
Du Wenwen snorted and said, "I'll go back immediately." "On weekdays, when I go to other people's houses to talk about things or be guests, if I want to leave, I always bring tea to let you experience it yourself. It was the first time he was driven out by a direct mouth.
Yunqing said: "I mean, when will Lord Du return to the capital?" There were so many snowfalls in the lunar month of last year and the first month of this year, and a lot of cattle, sheep and horses outside the fortress froze to death. In this matter, please also ask Lord Du to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in time. "In fact, the excerpt has already been submitted, and then I asked the military department for money and food. This time, he deliberately told Du Wenwen that he also hoped that Du Wenwen could go back as soon as possible, and he was impatient to receive Du Wenwen again.
When Du Wenwen heard this, he said: "The lower officials will return to Beijing as much as possible and report this news to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Yunqing thought to himself, when you return to Beijing to report, maybe I will finish the battle here. However, Yunqing didn't say anything, but took out the medicinal food made by Yuxi from the food box, and ate it with a crying face. The people next to him looked at it and thought he was taking poison!
Out of the barracks, Du Wenwen's short entourage asked, "My lord, what is Yunqing's attitude?" "Looking at the look of the adult, there should be no rejection.
Du Wenwen didn't answer this question, but said, "We want to rush back to the capital as much as possible!" Yunqing's answer did not satisfy Du Wenwen, but he also knew that this was already the best result.
Yu Zhi took the food box back to the mansion and said to Yuxi: "Madam, that Du Wenwen, who claims to be Qincha, has been wandering around the Dingbei military camp for a long time, and he has gone to the training ground, horse farm, house, and room. Uncle Huo said that Du Wenwen didn't look like a guy who could only pay lip service, maybe it would be really useful. "This is useful, which means that you can get more money and material things.
Yuxi smiled, if she hadn't looked at that Du Wenwen with clear eyes, she wouldn't have persuaded Yunqing to say those words, and nodded immediately and said, "That's good." You've worked hard, go down and rest! "Three times a day, Yu Zhi and two other guards sent them to the barracks, and the reason why they were accompanied by two guards was because they were worried that someone would make them bad on the road. Yuxi told Guo Xun before that if the three of them didn't send medicinal food to the barracks together, this thing should not be sent to Yunqing.
After a while, Xu Wu came in and said, "Madam, the chief steward of the Qin Mansion went to the post station to ask for a meeting with Du Wenwen, and after a long time, he came out with a smile on his face. "The post station is very heavily guarded, and Xu Wu hasn't heard what happened at that time for the time being.
Yuxi smiled and said, "The prince's ability is good. "Du Wenwen, who came here this time, still has two brushes. If Yunqing hadn't known the details of the prince, he would definitely have a good impression of Du Wenwen, a lobbyist. And Qin Zhao's side was obviously appeased. It's a pity that the prince's ability can't shake the two mountains of the Yu family and the Song family.
Xu Wu said: "Madam, I will let people continue to pay attention to Du Wenwen's movements." ”
Yuxi nodded and said, "Well, if you have any new moves, come and sue me immediately." Qin Zhao must have talked to Du Wenwen in person before he was relieved.
Xu Wu nodded, and then went out.
Zi Jin watched Yuxi fall into deep thought, and didn't dare to call her, for fear of disturbing her thoughts, she walked out and saw Xi's mother. Thinking that Xi's mother said that pregnant women should not work hard, Zijin walked over and asked Xi's mother: "Mom, Mrs. often bothered to think about things, will it not be good?" Other pregnant women are reassuring and comfortable to raise their babies, but her wife has never really taken a day off since she was pregnant.
Xi's mother shook her head and said: "It's okay to think about things occasionally, as long as you don't bother too much, don't worry!" I've been waiting in the inner courtyard, and if anything goes wrong, I'll warn Madame." In other words, it is within a certain range. And Yuxi, for the time being, is still in this range.
Zijin nodded and said, "That's good." ”R1148
