There was no reason why the two generals guarding the Huaihe River were not upset.
For Zhou Shizhong, he had suffered a loss at the hands of Shen Yi and had no way to retaliate. At this time, he had put his focus away from Huai'an and stopped "general knowledge" with Shen Yi. He was planning to come back from other places to make up some face!
At this time, in Zhou Shizhong's opinion, Shen Yi should just shrink his head and take a breath carefully.
But he didn't expect that as soon as his eyes left Huai'an, Shen Yi from Huai'an would be so dishonest and lead his troops across the Huaihe River again!
The political influence of this act of once again crossing the Huaihe River is far greater than its actual influence.
After all, the southerners, who had been cowardly for decades, suddenly became bold and crossed the Huaihe River to go north, more than once!
When this kind of thing spreads to Yandu, those who don't know why will definitely poke Zhou Shizhong in his spine.
As for Zhao Lu, he felt even more angry.
His Huaihe Navy and Shen Yi's Coastal Division are now in a state of competition. If everyone takes the beating honestly, then the Huaihe Navy's ability to defend Huaihe will not be inferior to that of any army.
And now, the young man named Shen has crossed the Huaihe River twice!
Wait until these things are reported back to Jiankang...
No one would think that safety should be the top priority for the Huaihe River's thousands-mile defense line.
Everyone will only think that Shen Qi can cross the Huaihe River and beat Qi people to pieces, why can't your Zhao family do the same?
Especially now, when the two sides are in the process of comparison, after this matter reaches Jiankang, it will easily force the emperor to "make up his mind."
With the emperor's determination, the Zhao family would really be ruined.
But no matter what the two generals think, this matter will still spread to the outside world, and no one can cover it up.
In fact, because of their close relationship with Jiankang, not long after these two received the news, Master Shen's secret letter and the secret letter of the inner guard were sent to Jiankang and to His Majesty the Emperor. on the desk.
Compared with before, His Majesty the Emperor at this time was quite immune to such "surprises". However, after receiving the news, His Majesty the Emperor was still overjoyed and ordered Gao Ming to prepare a table of wine and food for him, alone. Sit in the nectar hall and consider your own taste.
This is also something that can't be helped.
As the emperor, His Majesty the Emperor of Da Chen has no one with whom he can drink.
Loneliness is the label of the superior.
…………
Two days after His Majesty the Emperor of Nanchen received news from the front line, thousands of miles away in the Imperial City of Yandu, Emperor Yong'an of Da Qi also received news from along the Huaihe River.
When he received this news, His Majesty the Emperor of Northern Qi was wrapped in a quilt and reviewing memorials in his study.
Due to illness, the Yong'an Emperor has been a little afraid of the cold since the past few years. Even though it is spring now, and even summer is approaching, the Emperor still feels extremely cold. There is still an office space in the palace, and the stove is constantly burning. Sometimes I have to wrap myself in a thick quilt like I do now.
After reading the report about the Huaihe River from the Purity Department, His Majesty the Emperor tightened the quilt tightly and seemed to feel even colder. He shrank his head and his whole body trembled slightly.
"go…"
His Majesty the Emperor trembled and said, "Go and invite Prime Minister Yan into the palace."
This year marks the 33rd year of Yongan.
His Majesty the Emperor has been in power for more than thirty years. During such a long period of time, the people who serve him in the palace have changed several times. Those who can follow the emperor are naturally smart. Hearing his Immediately after these words, a eunuch came over, first added a piece of carbon to the stove, then wiped the sweat on his forehead due to the heat, lowered his head and said: "Yes..."
It was already warm spring in March, and His Majesty the Emperor was afraid of the cold and turned on the stove, but the eunuchs in the entire dormitory were not afraid of the cold, and basically everyone was sweating.
Two young eunuchs quickly went to Zhongshu Province and found Mr. Yan, who had a white beard. They lowered their heads slightly and said respectfully: "Prime Minister Yan, your Majesty invites you to enter the palace."
Hu people do not have their own official system.
Even if there is, it is quite rough. When they were fishing and hunting in the north, Guan Guan's subordinates just paid it back. After entering the customs, it became out of date. Therefore, after these Zhuli real people entered the customs, they basically copied the official system of Dachen and re-established it in Yandu. A court was formed that was exactly the same as that of Chen Guo.
There are also Zhongshu here, and there are also six volumes.
Basically the same as Chen Guo.
The difference is that because Zhu Li is the ruler, the person in charge in Zhongshu is usually Zhu Li, the six ministers, sometimes there are two ministers, and Zhu Li is the "big minister".
However, Zhu Li has been greedy for pleasure these years, and there is no particularly capable person. This also leads to the fact that in the past few years of Zhongshu Province, the Han Prime Minister Yan has been in charge of most of the affairs.
Old Yan nodded, stood up, and followed several young eunuchs all the way into the palace, where he saw His Majesty the Emperor warming himself by the stove.
At this time, His Majesty the Emperor, who was already in his fifties, had taken off the quilt wrapped around his body and put on thicker regular clothes.
After all, he was going to see the minister, so it was a bit inappropriate to be wrapped up in a quilt at this moment.
Because he had taken off the quilt, he could finally see his true face in Lushan. The Emperor of Da Qi was already very thin, his face was colorless, and his beard was a little sparse.
Two eyes with big dark circles.
It looks like it will fall down when the wind blows, which is very scary.
Seeing Prime Minister Yan coming in, the emperor waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down.
Prime Minister Yan still knelt down before the emperor, kowtowed respectfully and said: "Old minister Yanli, pay homage to my emperor."
The emperor sighed, a little weakly: "No need to be polite, just sit down and talk."
Only then did Old Yan sit down.
The emperor signaled to the eunuch and handed him Huaihe's documents to read.
Seeing that Prime Minister Yan was looking through the pages, His Majesty the Emperor coughed violently, then closed his eyes and said, "The fight in the south is very ugly."
"A young man named Shen came out of the Southern Dynasty to guard Huai'an. Not only did he defeat my army of the King of Qi many times, he also crossed the Huaihe River twice..."
"They Chen people can live in a corner and be their emperor in the south. I can ignore them no matter how they play in the south."
"But they crossed the Huaihe River..."
His Majesty the Emperor looked at Prime Minister Yan and coughed again.
"Crossing the Huaihe River is a taboo..."
"It's just not practical..."
Although His Majesty the Emperor is weak, his eyes are faint and he seems to be able to see everything.
"Today they can cross the Huaihe River, but tomorrow they will attack Yandu..."
At this time, Prime Minister Yan had already read Huaihe's report.
He thoughtfully closed the report from the Purity Department, raised his head to look at His Majesty the Emperor, whose face was not very good-looking, and lowered his head slightly: "Your Majesty, General Zhou has already tried it..."
"The Southern Dynasty had tens of thousands of people trapped in Huai'an. It would be extremely difficult to break through from Huai'an..."
The emperor slowly closed his eyes.
"Send an envoy to Jiankang and talk to the young emperor of the Southern Dynasties."
"Let the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty agree not to cross the Huaihe River even half a step further, otherwise we will march hundreds of thousands of soldiers to the south of the Yangtze River immediately..."
"also."
The emperor let out a cold breath.
"Find a way to deal with this Shen Ziheng..."
