Conquer the World

(A capable friend, ask you for a reward.)

Chapter 181 Out of the Cage

It has already entered the winter, and there is no more scenery of the skirts in the Chang'an city.After entering the twelfth lunar month, the first snow fell not too late, putting a layer of silver armor on the majestic and magnificent Changan.The snow scene of Taiji Palace has always been very beautiful, but unfortunately, few people are qualified to stand here and sing poetry.

The scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion or Shu Huage have this qualification, but now, poetry is not very suitable, and the war in the northwest has begun.After fighting for the first time, the soldiers left the Wolf Ruins Canyon.The war books handwritten by several college scholastic unions were finally sent out, and it was estimated that they would be delivered to the hands of the Mongolian Yuan in half a month.

The emperor's proclamation was issued a month ago, and it was announced to the whole country.Unexpectedly, the people did not resist the court's sending troops.In particular, when they knew that nearly 3,000 people were brutally killed by the Mongolian Yuan in Fangu City, their anger was difficult to eliminate.

There are even ignorant reckless men who secretly blame your majesty for the battle for one year.In their view, it was as if there was a conflict with the next door. If you punch me, I will naturally fight back.They will not spend their brains thinking about how much preparation is needed for this war.

In the eyes of the people, this battle is taken for granted.Not only to fight, but also to fight hard.The Mengyuan barbarians killed my three thousand people in the Great Sui Dynasty, so at least 30,000 people must be killed to come back.

Of course, no one doubts that this battle will be defeated.

On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the people who had eaten Laba congee the first day got up early and put on thick cotton coats to clean up the snow.Snow went off and on for a day and night. When I went out, I knew that it was almost a foot deep.According to the rules of Chang'an House, after snowing, each household has to undertake cleaning in front of their own door, and then there will be a special person at the yamen to pull the snow away with the carriage.

It didn't take long for the city gate to open, and the people had swarmed the streets to start snow removal.They would prefer to sweep the street first rather than their own yard first, because if someone else has cleaned the front door and there is still snow in front of their own house, they will definitely be laughed at. This family is lazy.

The excitement on the street was shattered by a rush of horseshoes, and a servant soldier rushed into the city gate, shouting loudly while beating the horse, beckoning the people to make way.

"Military News!"

The soldier apparently rushed through the night, and he could still see the falling snow.A white horse has been painted gray and black by muddy water, and the white gas from the horse's nose is full of fatigue.This is a soldier who came to report from the northwestern part of the Great Sui Dynasty, and he didn't know how much suffering he had suffered along the way.

The people immediately gave way and watched the soldier leave.

"It seems that the military situation is urgent?"

Someone speculated.

"It's not like a good news. If you win, you should call Bian Guan Jie directly, right?"

"You damn you will fart, can our frontiers of Da Sui still lose? Besides, General Li Yuanshan of the Right Guardian Garrison Northwest, when have you heard that our soldiers have suffered losses?"

"Right!"

In the voices of the people, the dirty man and the dirty horse disappeared into sight.

His Majesty the Emperor has moved from Changchun Garden back to Tai Chi Palace and lived in the Dongnuan Pavilion behind the Tai Chi Hall.It can be said that Emperor Yang Yi of Tianyou was the most diligent and the worst female emperor of the Sui Dynasty. He rarely returned to the harem, and even rarely summoned his concubine to attend the Dongnuan Pavilion.The emperors of the iron mouth and the steel tooth did not want to find any excuses for the emperor's private life.

After the early dynasty, the emperor quickly walked back to Dongnuan Pavilion.The soldier who sent the report from the Northwest stood outside the door and waited before changing his clothes.The soldier was carrying a package behind his back. Like the clothes on his body, the original color was already out of sight.

In the cold air in the morning, he carried a paper bag in his hands and swallowed the steaming buns with a big mouth. This was specially made by the eunuch Su Weiwei after he entered the palace.It seemed that he hadn't eaten last night, not caring about the bun's hotness at all, and gorging on it.

"Come in with me"

The emperor paused when he came over, and waited until the soldier swallowed the last bun before walking over.He stopped the soldiers from saluting himself and quickly stepped into Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Give him a cup of hot water!"

The emperor took off his boots and sat down on the ondol, ordering the eunuch to serve the soldier to pour a glass of water.The soldier first tapped Shane, then poured water into his mouth in one breath.There was something in his stomach, and the warm feeling made him feel very comfortable.He galloped all the way from the northwest, and besides changing horses at the post, he hardly stopped to rest.

"How about the Northwest War?"

The emperor asked.

The soldier unwrapped the package on the back and opened layers after layer, revealing a very clean wooden box with fire paint on it.He handed over the wooden box with his hands, Su Buwei stepped forward to pick it up, picked up the paint with a knife, and pulled out the military report from the inside to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, a month and a half ago, the tooth general Li Xiaozong was instructed to take five thousand horses out of the Wolf Rushan Canyon to explore the way for the army, and fought against the Mandu Wolf, the enemy of the Mandu Banner Nirvana. The Mandu Wolf ordered all herdsmen to go to the battlefield. , Siege of Li Xiaozong. General Li bloody battle, killing the enemy and breaking ten thousand, but the nearly 5,000 men and women are also close to battle ... But the gorge was kept, and when the lowly departed, General Li Yuanshan had already led troops through the Wolf Ruin Mountain. "

The emperor listened to the soldier's words while watching the military situation. When he heard that Li Xiaozong's five thousand elite soldiers hadn't battled, his face could not help changing.

"Fight Dongchu ... Five thousand soldiers can kill thousands of miles in Dongchu!"

He sighed slightly: "Fighting Mongolian Yuan, five thousand talents will be out of the canyon ... you continue to say, has Li Yuanshan already won the Nirvana City? Are Mandu Latu's horses here?"

...

...

Early in the morning, the staff at Ouchi's guards began to clean the courtyard by themselves.There are a lot of servants in the palace, but they are not allowed to move around in the Ouchi guards.Luo Weiran, dressed in a large cloak of mink wool, stepped on the snow and quickly walked into the back yard. At the door, Hou Wenji, the governor of Qingya Town, was already waiting there.

"Your Majesty's will came down?"

Hou Wenji asked.

Luo Weiran nodded and said, "His Majesty sent someone to find me early this morning, and carefully asked about the things that were traced over the past six months, because there is really no person or thing that proves that the solution is related to the Buddhism. Let him go for the time being, and this matter is finally over. "

"Your Majesty is now in no mood to care about this matter again, but ... if there is no war with Meng Yuan, maybe the solution will have been released long ago."

Hou Wenji smiled and said, "Your Majesty has been watching the Northwest War all day long, and there is a little guy who thinks about it. I don't know who blows the air in His Majesty's ears. His Majesty remembered that there was still a problem closed."

"It should be President Zhou."

Luo Weiran entered the room, took off the big cloak, and stood at the fireplace, rubbing his hands: "I heard that President Zhou entered the palace yesterday, or because of the long delay, so long that if Fang Jie does not appear in Yanwuyuan, What kind of lies can't stop others' guesses. In the next few days, it should be the New Year. According to the rules, the first name of the Yanwu Academy is to represent the students of the Yanwu Academy to go to the temple, and also appear in His Majesty At the celebration of Yan Qunchen, it was obviously inappropriate to practice a sentence in Houshan. "

"Just let it go?"

Hou Wenji poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Luo Weiran: "Although it was something I had expected, why am I not reconciled."

"why?"

Luo Weiran asked.

Hou Wenji smiled and said: "Nothing was found. There was no proof that he was not connected with Buddhism, and there was no proof that he was connected with Buddhism. I let it go ... I always feel a little wrong. "

Luo Weiran gave him a white glance: "Then you won't let go."

Hou Wenji said: "What you said is mixed with personal feelings, but it is also correct. In any case, he is also your nephew."

"Just let go."

He rubbed his brows and said: "Because of the war in the Northwest, the university scholar Niu Huilun made a speech to His Majesty. On the first day of the Chinese New Year, the students of the Yanwu Academy were marched in red to inspire people's morale. There will be some effects, at least let the people see, there are so many available talents in Yanwuyuan. "

Luo Weiran nodded, not knowing why, there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

"I heard ... there was an urgent report from Northwest."

He murmured softly.

"Yes……"

Hou Wenji was silent for a while and patted Luo Weiran's shoulder and said: "After the New Year, I will go to the northwest. Everything in the capital is thrown to yourself, and the burden on your shoulder will be heavy."

He looked at the heat rising from the glass, and there was no joy or sorrow in his eyes.

...

...

This is the first time Fang Jie has seen the mirror in the security guard at Ouchi's security office for a long time, so when he saw the man in the bronze mirror, he surprised the boss.

"this is me?"

He raised his hand and stroked the beard on his jaw, then turned around and looked at the long hair that had reached the waist.The figure in the mirror is a bit strange, and there is a big gap from the self in memory.Fang Jie adapted to it for a while before he could not help but sigh: "Surely it was a pig-killing knife."

He smiled and watched his Zhuobuyi pick up the scissors and handed it to Fang Jie: "Hair is too long, cut it."

Fang Xie didn't pick up, but smiled and said: "Keep it, it looks pretty pleasing to the eye. But the beard can't be kept, otherwise I'm sorry for my title of Fancy Man."

He picked up the razor, dipped it in some water and started shaving against the bronze mirror.This is the first time in the world that the solution is shaving, so the movement is a bit jerky.It's hard to scratch with a bad angle.Qiu Yu, who was sitting on the side, stood up and walked to his side to pick up the razor. He lifted the jaw of Jie Jie in one hand and lifted it with his knife in the other.

"This pose ..."

Fang Xie turned his head to look at himself in the bronze mirror and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's like I'm being teased."

Qiu Yu ignored his ridicule, but asked: "Did you think about it? Reappeared in front of the students in Yanwu Academy, how to explain the missing six months."

"Explain a fart."

Fang Jie raised his jaw cautiously, lest Qiu Yu's knife scratched his face: "I am the first name of Yanwuyuan, did I explain it to them? Besides ... the old guy who smashed the table, he I think of how to say it. "

"That old guy is here."

A sound came from the doorway, frightening Fang Jie.

He looked back, and then saw Luo Weiran and President Zhou who hated him for a long time.

"Although you call me the old guy, I'm a little angry."

Dean Zhou slowly walked over and looked at Fang Jie, said: "But there is a sentence I like very much ... You are the first name of Yanwu Academy, need to explain a fart to them after missing for half a year?"

"You mean, the thing that has locked me up for so long is like a fart. If you want to let it go, let it go?"

Fang Jie still raised his jaw and asked his eyes provocatively.

Dean Zhou was not angry, but said after a moment of silence, he said seriously: "What's wrong with the fart? Can you let it go freely, can you still take it back freely?"

Fang Jie was stunned, and then nodded: "It seems reasonable."

President Zhou said with a whisper: "Very reasonable."

He threw the package in his hand on the stone bed and pointed to it, "A new suit."

"Want to ignore me with a new dress?"

Fang asked.

"What else do you want?"

Dean Zhou asked.

Fang Xie thought about it for a while, and then said seriously: "At least I had to ask me to eat a meal at Keshengju, and then go to the red sleeves to invite everyone to take a jump.
