After the officials dispersed, Zhao Duan could not sleep no matter what when he returned to the palace.
Today gave him too much stimulation. First, Uncle Wang disappeared, and then the four counties in southern Jiangsu were forced by those idiots to force the government and the people to rebel.
One after another, things that are basically impossible to happen in ordinary times all happened.
He didn't know why, but he always felt like there was a haze in his heart.
It wasn't until the sky dimmed slightly and it was time to go to court that Cao Shuang, who had been away for most of the night, finally came back.
Zhao Duan, on the other hand, tossed and turned in the palace all night and couldn't sleep.
Even a pair of eyes are surrounded by dark circles.
Seeing Cao Shuang coming back, it was almost time. Under the service of the palace maid, he changed into court clothes. Before leaving, Zhao Duan suddenly stopped and told Cao Shuang: "Send a message for the prince to come back. The court may be unstable."
Cao Shuang was stunned when he heard this. It took him a while to regain his composure, nodded and retreated again.
Now in front of the life-size glass mirror specially provided by Feiyun Trading Company, looking at myself in court clothes, half of the hair on the temples has turned gray, and even the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes are clearly visible. Now I am over fifty years old. .
He has been on the throne for more than 20 years, and he has personally repaired and repaired the broken ship of the Song Dynasty. He has spent more than half of his life.
How long can he last?
he does not know.
After all, this world belongs to young people.
Prince...sigh...grow up soon...
"Go to court!"
"promise!"
…
Yunzhou County.
After receiving the information from the secret guards, the three cities of Yunzhou County immediately entered a state of emergency. However, before the Xiongnu could wait, they received a letter from Bianjing.
But after reading the news, Ye Yindang immediately ordered: "Ask Feiyun Trading Company in the capital to send some gunpowder to the palace."
Yunli, who took action, immediately nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I understand! I will send the message to you now."
Just when everyone thought the matter was over, suddenly another secret guard came in to report and handed over a secret letter.
"Report to the princess, there is another letter from Bianjing, and it's from the palace!"
The expressions on everyone's faces immediately became surprised. Didn't this happen just once?
Why are you here again?
While everyone was confused, Ye Yin had already opened the letter.
After only glancing at it twice, she immediately handed the envelope in her hand to Zhao Ming and said:
"Your Highness, this is a letter from Bianjing to you."
The prince glanced at him in surprise, then opened the envelope and looked at it. His originally relaxed expression instantly became serious.
Ye Yin saw it and asked curiously: "What's wrong with Your Highness? Isn't it just a letter calling His Highness back?
Your Highness has been in Yunzhou County for so long. Isn't it right for His Majesty to call you back? "
Zhao Ming shook his head and said solemnly: "It's different. My father called me back because the court was unstable. With my father's character, if something serious hadn't really happened, he would definitely not would say so.
During my absence, something big must have happened in the court. "
Having said this, Zhao Ming paused, looked up at Ye Yin, and his face became solemn and hesitant.
If in normal times, he received a letter from the palace or an order from his father himself, he would naturally leave immediately without saying a word.
But now Yunzhou County is facing the threat of the Xiongnu. He left at this time, leaving Ye Yin, a female generation, to guard the city. Not to mention that this was Lao Liu's family and as the eldest brother, he had to help take care of it.
Even this kind of behavior didn't feel right to him.
Ye Yin saw his thoughts and smiled brightly and said:
"Your Highness does not need to worry about us. With the foundation and strength of our Yunzhou County, the Huns are nothing to fear.
Just feel free to go back, otherwise wouldn't it be a disobedience? "
"You really don't need me to stay?"
Zhao Ming asked again.
Ye Yin smiled and shook her head: "Your Highness, just leave with peace of mind.
Your Highness must not forget that my concubine’s father is a soldier.
Defending the city is nothing more than a familiar road for concubines, especially the Xiongnu, so this is even more familiar, so your Highness can rest assured. "
Zhao Ming finally spoke up after hearing these words. It was true that he had worried too much. His disciples were the daughters of generals, and they were not comparable to ordinary weak women. Maybe in terms of battlefield experience and command, he was not as good as him. As for her.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Ming added: "Commander Ye will follow the court rules and go back with me."
According to the rules of the imperial court, Jiedushi was not allowed to leave Bianjing without permission. The two times Ye Wei was able to come to Yunzhou County were all in the name of protecting the emperor and the prince. It may be left alone in place.
Hearing this, Ye Yin was in a trance and remembered the matter, but then she nodded in relief and said: "I understand, your Highness, go and prepare. The Huns are coming soon. If the Huns besiege the city, it will be difficult for Your Highness to leave. Mo It’s going to be delayed.”
Zhao Ming nodded, nodded slightly at him, and strode away.
In the afternoon of that day, Zhao Ming and Ye Wei had already packed their things and were ready to embark on the return journey.
At the gate of the city, Ye Wei looked at his daughter who was becoming more and more majestic now and was filled with emotion. The once eccentric daughter was now a woman, and she had to shoulder the responsibility of being a princess at this time. When her husband went on an expedition, she faced The Xiongnu attacked and defended Yunzhou County.
Before leaving, Ye Wei took the initiative to walk to her daughter, gently took her into her arms and patted her back, then let go and said with a guilty look on her face:
"Take care of yourself, and if nothing can be done, let the secret guards take you away.
Your own safety is most important! "
Ye Yin smiled back: "Don't worry, Dad, my daughter is no longer the same person she used to be. Now that she is a princess, she has a lot of responsibilities on her shoulders. When the prince is away, it is the daughter's responsibility to protect Yunzhou County for him. , don’t worry.
It's you, now that your daughter can't always be there to fulfill her filial piety, you have to take care of yourself.
If that doesn't work, you can have a new relationship and give your daughter a brother!
My mother has been dead for so many years, and she probably doesn’t want to see you alone. "
He was fine at first, but as soon as he heard his daughter asking him to renew his string, Ye Wei's face suddenly darkened, and he knocked the girl on the forehead angrily and said angrily:
"Stop minding your father's business!"
Ye Yin was not upset after being knocked violently, covering her forehead and laughing.
It was as if at this moment she had turned back into the quirky little girl who often acted coquettishly towards her father.
Time was limited and the father and daughter were not allowed to talk for too long. Zhao Ming and his party finally set off on their way.
Ye Yin stood at the gate of the city, holding her son Huzi in her arms and shouting loudly toward the carriage that was gradually moving away: "Dad! Take care of yourself!"
At the carriage window that was getting further away, Ye Wei stretched out a hand and waved it.
It wasn't until the carriage completely disappeared from sight that Ye Yin sighed and looked into the distance with a complicated expression.
The maid reminded in a low voice from the side: "Madam, it's cold, it's time to go back."
Ye Yin nodded, her expression became majestic and dignified again, and she got on the carriage and returned to the city.
Damn the Huns, this princess is not allowed to stay with her father for a while longer. You just wait to die!
Women all hold grudges!
At this time, the Huns were less than a hundred miles away from Dingyang City!
Tila rode the horse and ran at the front, and suddenly felt an itch on her nose!
"Ah Chu!"
A big sneeze came out!
…
Yo ho! Anyone guessed something was going to happen?
That's for sure. Wouldn't it be boring if you didn't do something?
This time, I will kill ten! Wow ha ha ha ha!
