"What?!"
Shang Ruyi was shocked: "Are you going to attack Liaodong again?"
You must know that since the current emperor ascended the throne, he has taken several measures to exhaust the people's power. Among them, the most exorbitant levy and extortion, which made the people's livelihood miserable, was the Gouli Kingdom's conquest of Liaodong.
The Gouli Kingdom was originally a small country in Liaodong. It had been subordinated to the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times. When the Daye Dynasty was first established, its leader presented his credentials to a vassal state early on and paid tribute as a vassal. He never dared to neglect it. Therefore, the late emperor Chu Yin also focused on appeasing Gouli and used less weapons.
However, after Chu Yang came to the throne, he used troops to conquer the Gouli Kingdom several times. Although the Gouli Kingdom was a small country, it was not willing to be outdone when it suffered such unreasonable disasters, and simply used all the strength of the country to resist. Although the Daye Dynasty had strong soldiers and horses, Liaodong was located in a remote area and the terrain was steep. It was difficult for the imperial army to win in the expedition. Therefore, countless people were spent on the expedition to no avail, and it aroused countless people's resentment.
Therefore, when he heard that Liaodong was about to be attacked again, Shang Ruyi's brows also wrinkled.
Before Yu Wenye could answer her, Yu Wenyuan sent someone to ask them to go to the study to talk and discuss the dispatch of troops this time. He also called Shang Ruyi.
So, the two tidied up their clothes and hurried to the study.
As soon as I approached the study, before I entered the door, I heard Yu Wenyuan's heavy voice coming from inside: "Your body can't act like this."
The footsteps of both of them stopped at the same time.
There was a soft cough in the study. After a while, Guan Yunmu gasped and said: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to persuade me. I won't listen to your advice."
Yu Wenyuan became anxious and said: "The country of Gouli is a land of poverty and hardship, and it's hard to go back to being a soldier. With a body like yours, wouldn't it be..."
He couldn't even say the rest.
Compared to his eagerness, Guan Yunmu seemed very calm and said softly: "Don't argue with me about this. This is the emperor's will, and you can't resist it."
This time, the atmosphere in the study became heavier.
At this time, Yu Wenye walked in: "Father, mother."
Shang Ruyi also followed him into the study. At a glance, he saw Yu Wenyuan sitting in a chair with a frown on his face, and Guan Yunmu sitting on the other side of the desk, his face pale and looking very weak.
As soon as he saw his son and daughter-in-law coming in, Yu Wenyuan immediately waved and said: "Ye'er, Ruyi, you came just in time, help me persuade your mother. I have been ordered to go on an expedition, but she has to go with me."
Yu Wenye frowned: "The emperor wants my father to go to Liaodong?"
Yu Wenyuan waved his hand and said: "It is not a war, but His Majesty has an order for me to go to the front line in western Liaoning to recruit military rations."
"oh."
"But even so, the situation over there is very complicated, and your mother's body can't stand it!"
Yu Wenye thought for a while, then turned to Guan Yunmu and said: "Mother, the army still needs some time to prepare. When the food and grass are ready and the army sets off, it will probably arrive in Liaodong at the end of October. The climate in Liaodong is different from that in the Central Plains. It's not the same, especially after winter, there will be a kind of icy rain, which is biting and cold, and it is difficult for ordinary people to resist. Mother's body is really not suitable for going through that kind of time."
Guan Yunmu said calmly: "I know, you don't need to sting me."
She couldn't persuade her anymore.
Yu Wenyuan sighed: "Why don't you listen to my advice?"
Yu Wenye was silent for a while, and then said: "I still have something to discuss with my father. How about this, Ruyi, you can help your mother back to her room to rest first."
Shang Ruyi had been standing quietly aside. When he heard this, he immediately stepped forward: "Mom, let me help you back to your room."
Guan Yunmu glanced at her, nodded, got up and walked out.
