When Lu Yao led the army to rampage in Daidi, Yecheng, which he had left not long ago, entered a rare period of calm.

After weeping and burying their loved ones, the displaced people picked up the remnants of bricks and tiles or all other belongings that could be used, returned to their hometowns, and settled down in Yecheng, where the embers were still not extinguished. Yecheng gradually regained some vitality, and most of the troublesome homeless people were wrapped up in Shile thieves and sent to Jizhou. This made the officials of Wei County very satisfied.

July 14th.

Fifteen miles west of Yecheng. Flooding waterfront.

This is the place where Fushui and Zhangshui 'meet', not far from the former site of the Royal Garden Xuanwu Garden, and the natural landscape is excellent. Looking around, but seeing the mountains and mountains flowing, it is refreshing and pleasant. In the past, Emperor Wen of Cao Wei said: "Walk leisurely, talk about the West Mountain." The valleys are intertwined, and the vegetation is lushly connected. "It's true.

Although Yecheng has been in dilapidation after several wars, it is still able to enjoy the beauty of the garden landscape after being built in the suburbs far away from the ruins.

It is about more than ten zhang away from the gurgling and flowing Fushui River, there is a fishing platform shaded by a "flower" tree, just enough to see the willows hanging low by the river, the ducks frolicking, the sparkling ripples 'swinging' ripples, and the scenery is the most beautiful. At this time, the armor guards around the fishing platform are far away, the servants are fishing, the fishing platform is spread gorgeously, and the sound of silk and bamboo is melodious. About forty years old, the 'fat' body, the slightly bearded Shangshu's right servants 'Shot', General Zhengbei and Yu sat on the main seat, and were very diligent in persuading the guests to drink.

Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, the system of the Wei Dynasty has been inherited, the Zhongzheng and the nine products have been established, and the government has been a high 'door'. In contemporary times, the children of the Taiyuan Wang family, the Hedong Pei family, the Yingchuan Xun family and other big clans are all over the court, which can be called the first-rate 'door' household. And the status of the Runan Xiping clan is much worse, relying on the crown of three generations since the Taichang and Qia of Cao Wei, it can barely be regarded as a second-class scholar.

He Yu's elder brother He Qiao was one of the famous ministers during the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty. He Qiao's 'sex' character is strict and upright, and his demeanor is often angular. The people of the time commented: "The forest is like a pine of a thousand feet, although there is a program in Lei, and the building of Shi has the use of pillars." "When He Qiao served as a 'servant', because he saw that the prince was stupid, he said to Emperor Wu in person: "The crown prince has the style of pure antiquity, and Ji Shi is more hypocritical, so I am afraid that His Majesty's family affairs will not be possible." "The crown prince is as simple and simple as the ancients, but there are many hypocrisies and deceit in the present age, and I am afraid that he will not be able to do it in the future!

The crown prince's intelligence is deficient, and the ministers of the court and the central government are all aware of this, but it is extremely rare to be able to be as frank and straightforward as He Qiao, not to mention unique.

One day after that, Emperor Wu praised the prince's recent progress to Xun Yi, Xun Miao, He Qiao and other ministers, and ordered the three of them to come forward to compare the prince. After Xun Yi and Xun Miao's uncle and nephew returned, they all reported that the prince really knew Hongya and made great progress. Only He Qiao bluntly said: "The prince's holy quality is the same as before." "The prince is no different from the original, he is still a fool.

After Yuankang died of illness in the second year of Heqiao, the head of the He clan was replaced by Heyu.

He Yu's talent is not as good as his brother's, but the smoothness of the eunuch journey is far better. He is the opposite of He Qiao, a complete bureaucrat who was nurtured by the official place of the Great Jin Dynasty, and is good at thinking about problems from the perspective of pure powerful relationships. The combination of keen political judgment and heartfelt and unreserved tendency to inflammatory, made him easy to deal with the 'chaos' situation of the imperial court since the first year of Yuanyasu, even if his colleagues lost their positions and even died, he was always able to increase his official position and become a knight. After 16 years of hard work, Heyu is now an indispensable minister of the center. After the new Cai King Sima Tengxue, and Yu led the order to conquer the northern general out of the town of Yecheng to clean up the Hebei 'chaos' situation, he has jumped to one of the few important towns in the Great Jin Dynasty.

Of course, Heyu will be complacent because of this, but at this moment, he has not 'revealed' this emotion at all. He appropriately adjusted his facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice to meet the standards of a loyal subordinate, and was full of emotion and affection.

"Pei Langjun is here on behalf of His Royal Highness, and his colleagues in Wei County must be deeply honored. I should have summoned His Royal Highness Wenwu Gongwen to teach, but I thought that Lang Jun had come all the way to work, so I postponed it for the time being. Today, I will be a little clear, and I hope that Lang Jun will not dislike it. He Yu raised his hands in the jade wine cup and bowed deeply to the young man on the opposite table.

The young man was wearing a goose-yellow 'colored' moire brocade robe, with phoenix eyes and moth eyebrows, and his face was like a crown of 'jade', he picked up the wine cup with three fingers, and his slender hands were as white as snow. In the face of the flattering words of the important ministers of the country, he only raised his lips slightly with a reasonable gesture.

He Yu was directly called "His Royal Highness" without the prefix of the king's name, and naturally he was the number one minister of the dynasty, Taifu Lu Shangshushi, and Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea. And that young man is the envoy of the King of the East China Sea, the county lord of Jingling who often travels to and from various places under the cover of being a disciple of the Pei family in Hedong, and it is said that he is 'smart' and strong and can't do anything about his eyebrows.

He Yu knew very well that his status did not come from the emperor who had just ascended the throne, but from the gift of the king of the East China Sea, and he knew even more that the county lord of Jingling had a special status in the shogunate of the king of the East China Sea. Therefore, when he faced the lord of Jingling County, his words were extremely humble, not like a reward between high-ranking officials of the imperial court, but like a domestic servant paying tribute to his master.

Seeing that the county lord's mood was not high, He Yu signaled to the 'waiters' with serious eyes, and the group of 'women' music played in front of the stage retreated gracefully. Turning around, he changed back to that courteous attitude: "Presumably, His Highness has important instructions, so I bothered Lang Jun to come in person." And depressed and frightened, I don't know if I can get and smell first? ”

The county lord of Jingling snorted softly: "Uncle Shi is too polite, and there is no indication from the court. It is only because of Shile's 'chaos' that Hebei has not been able to calm down for a long time, and the princes of Luoyang have many doubts. My father also intended to personally lead the army out of the town and Guandu, so I came here to investigate. She leaned forward a little and pointed to her delicate ear: "This time I only brought this thing, and I didn't mean anything else." ”

And Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Since he sat in Yecheng, there has been infighting among the begging army, then the resurgence of Shile thieves, and most of the household wealth accumulated over the decades has been lost, so that it has always been difficult for Wei County to be stable. This time, the county lord of Jingling suddenly came, and he always suspected that the king of the East China Sea would take action in Yecheng, or there was a possibility of adjusting his position. It wasn't until the county lord of Jingling made his statement clear that he relaxed.

It turns out that the king of the East China Sea has the intention of leading his troops out of the town? It's very good, since the king of the East China Sea is concerned about the situation in Hebei, he just gives some 'medicine' to the Jizhou thorn Shi Ding Shao.

He Yu nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Ten days ago, our army won a 'fierce' battle with the thieves, forcing the Shile thieves to flee eastward, and Wei County was a little peaceful, but the situation in Hebei is becoming more and more erosive. Due to the fact that there were many thieves in the Jizhou area, Shile carried troops along the way and attacked various counties. Many of them had cavalry, marching eastward, traveling more than 100 miles a day, and the counties and states of Qinghe, Bohai, and Pingyuan were caught off guard one after another, and were successively trapped by thieves, and the people were poisoned, and hundreds of thousands of people broke their homes. After the initial battle was unfavorable, he could only suspend his troops in Xindu and Anping to temporarily protect the counties in the northwest of Jizhou. ”

He sighed and continued: "Because the Jizhou army patrolled without fighting, the thieves were able to cross the entire Jizhou, reach the sea, and disperse the armies to plunder Leling. About five days ago, Shi Yu, who had been the assassin of Youzhou, gathered thousands of volunteers in the township and fought and unfortunately died. Fortunately, at this time, Qingzhou Assassin Shi Gou Xi was loyal to the king's affairs and led the army to cross the river to rescue. The Qingzhou army blocked the thieves in the plains, and the two armies fought hard repeatedly, and the victory or defeat has not yet been determined. ”

"Are thieves so rampant......" The county lord frowned worriedly.

After a while, she gently tapped the desk with her fingers, and said softly thoughtfully: "Finally, Ding Tingshi used his troops steadily and kept half of Jizhou safe." It is engraved that since Tu Bo sent troops, then Shile will definitely be defeated. How to completely annihilate it and prevent it from wandering will require careful planning. ”

Hearing the words of the county lord of Jingling, He Yu couldn't help but be stunned. He never thought that the King of the East China Sea and the County Lord of Jingling had such faith in Ding Shao, even if he lost half of Jizhou, he didn't mean to blame at all. It seems that this person is very close to the center, and it is better to be friendly to each other in the future.

Thinking like this, He Yu was like a sensitive mole, and immediately changed his original direction. He took out a number of documents from the servant's hands, and put a few copies on the desk first: "I have already reported the situation to Luoyang with the book that I said. At this moment, His Royal Highness the King of the East China Sea must have also received it. However, I only received this urgent report yesterday......"

He Yu said in a very understanding and sincere tone: "Do you remember that in the previous recital, I mentioned Lu Yao, the general of the 'Gate' of Bingzhou? Alas, this person is now in great trouble on behalf of the county, and it is no wonder that the soldiers and horses of Jizhou do not dare to act rashly. ”
