"So, you didn't even get to see that brat before he was chased by his men until he had no way to go to the sky or to the earth.
After learning that the people were all right, the Tatars retreated and fled back.
And you don’t know anything else? "
Zhao Duan rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. He did not expect that after a long time, he would bring back to him the news that his son was alive and that the Tatars were gone.
Other than that, they know nothing!
What the hell is this?
Several of the priests were a little embarrassed when they heard the words, and seemed to be uneasy. An embarrassed smile appeared on their faces, and they forcefully explained: "Your Majesty, it's not that the slaves didn't try their best. It's really because the gang of bastards under King Yun have bitten too much." Come on, there are also weapons in their hands. You don’t know how fast they are. There are only a dozen of them, but hundreds of arrows are shooting at them in the blink of an eye!
Although the slaves have deep inner strength, they cannot stop cumming like this!
There were so many of them, to be honest, the slaves were lucky enough to come back alive.
Especially the slaves. Before entering Yunzhou City, the bunch of bastards still held back their hands. Once they entered, they acted like crazy. If they didn't hold back, thousands of people would have chased and killed each of the slaves. If the slave hadn't run away. So fast, I almost missed His Majesty! "
The more I talked about this, the more I felt aggrieved, the more I talked about it, the more sad I became, and in the end I shed two tears.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Duan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth again. Can you imagine?
An old eunuch in his forties or fifties was talking like a girl, crying, while wiping his tears with his orchid fingers.
Zhao Duan couldn't stand that scene anyway.
He quickly waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I understand, you have all worked hard, and I am not that mean and ungrateful. Cao Shuang will reward you later, so you can just retreat first."
Seeing that His Majesty had no intention of pursuing the matter any further and had received the reward, they did not continue for long and hurriedly respectfully bowed out.
Not long after the others left, Cao Shuang came in. As soon as he came in, he saw his Majesty sitting in his seat with a sad face and sighing. He couldn't help but said with some doubts:
"Your Majesty, why are you looking like this? Could it be that something happened to Prince Yun?"
Zhao Duan waved his hand: "The boy is fine, he's fine. Alas..."
"Then what are you doing, Your Majesty?"
Cao Shuang said doubtfully.
Zhao Duan shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Alas...Cao Banban, why do you think I am so confused?
I was quite sad when I thought something happened to this kid. But now that I know he is fine, and not only fine but he also fought back a huge army of 350,000 people, I still feel uncomfortable.
I always feel a strange feeling that I can't explain. Although I feel relieved, I feel a little uneasy at the same time.
What do you think is going on? "
Upon hearing this, Cao Shuang immediately laughed.
He walked forward slowly, came behind His Majesty and gently tapped Zhao Duan's shoulders, and then explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that you are entangled because of your dual identities of father and majesty.
As the father of King Yun, Your Majesty is naturally happy that your son is alive and that King Yun is capable.
I would like to ask which parent in this world does not hope that their children can get ahead and be better than other people's children?
However, as the emperor, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, His Highness King Yun is a border vassal king. With such strength, you are worried that he will cause chaos and endanger the safety of the Song Dynasty.
It’s not surprising that you have these two identities at the same time, so you have such entanglements.
Your Majesty, just relax. "
"well……"
Zhao Duan sighed, and then said helplessly: "You guys, it's easy for you to say, relax? How can I relax? You are right, Lao Liu is my son, he has the ability, it's natural for me to treat him as my father. happy.
But he is only the sixth child, and it is not good to be too capable. The prince, I am still very satisfied, and I do not want to see the situation where brothers are fighting against each other in the future.
I don’t know what Lao Liu is thinking. How can I relax? "
After hearing this, Cao Shuang was secretly happy that his Majesty's heart was still with the prince.
But he said calmly: "Your Majesty, you are still in your prime. No matter how capable your Highness King Yun is, he is still your child. What's more, King Yun only has one Yunzhou County in his hands. Relying on the previous large-scale refugees and This first-hand iron smelting business gave him his current fortune.
And you are the emperor who is in charge of the entire Song Dynasty. You just don't care about him. If you are really serious, King Yun will be His Majesty's opponent.
So, how about King Yun, doesn’t it just depend on what your Majesty wants him to do?
If you don’t want to see His Highness Prince Yun be so strong, then you should find a way to weaken him so that His Highness the Crown Prince can suppress Prince Yun. In addition, His Highness the Crown Prince’s righteous status, and the fact that he grew up with the Queen and was raised by the Empress. Under the circumstances.
Why can't King Yun be the helper of His Highness the Crown Prince? "
"Help?"
Zhao Duan murmured these two words.
Cao Shuang also hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Yes, Your Majesty, the situation in the court is now that the Ding family will definitely support the fourth prince, and the prime minister and the aristocratic family will support the fifth prince.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has your help, he is ultimately alone in the face of the two His Highnesses.
In the past, it was okay if King Yun couldn't help. Now, since King Yun has the ability to help this brother, he naturally wants to help His Highness the Crown Prince.
If your majesty asks you to speak, His Highness King Yun will definitely not be able to refuse.
Otherwise, just like this time, the slave girl got the news that due to the closure of Liaoyun Pass, Yunzhou County was directly in a situation of lack of meat.
The entire county is running out of meat.
This slave girl thinks that as long as the lifeline of Yunzhou County is grasped from this aspect, Prince Yun will definitely obey your Majesty's instructions. "
"really?"
Zhao Duan was a little confused. If this news was true, could Yunzhou County be short of meat?
Are there not so many naturalized Tatar tribes in the county?
How could there be a lack of meat?
"really!"
Cao Shuang affirmed.
"Your Majesty, you don't know that just before the Tatar army gathered, spies discovered that King Yun and others had begun to buy meat from the Tatar tribes in the southern grasslands.
They also staged a trick of building a plank road openly and secretly attacking Chencang. The Tatars were too stupid to see it, but our Song Dynasty spies could see it at a glance.
Whose family was robbed and no one died, and there was so much extra food!
This is definitely a play played by the Tatars in the southern grasslands and His Royal Highness King Yun.
The purpose was to hide the truth from the Tatar Royal Court and prevent the Tatar Royal Court from discovering the transaction between them.
Afterwards, after King Yun's people had gone far away with their cattle and sheep, the tribes who had been robbed reported the matter.
This method can also deceive those simple-minded Tatars! "
After hearing what Cao Shuang said, Zhao Duan was suddenly surprised and said:
"Hey, this old man is still playing this trick with the Tatars. Is he really just teasing fools?"
"Who says it isn't?"
"Ha ha ha ha"
