Since ancient times, you can't have both fish and bear's paws.
Since he started his army, Wu Nian has often been away on military expeditions, alienating his wife and concubines. But in his heart he missed his wives and concubines very much.
Three years. Three whole years have passed.
How are they doing?
Children, are you obedient?
And Wei Ru.
A ninth son was born to him. He received the news in Fusang and named him Wu Yong. This son can now run and jump, but he has never seen his father, which is very pitiful.
Wu Nian entered the palace gate with excitement and quick steps. After coming out, his eyes lit up and he came to the wide courtyard.
Liu Xiang wore a queen's phoenix crown and formal clothes, and the concubines also wore formal clothes according to their rank, each with their maids and eunuchs, standing in the courtyard.
Prince Wu Yu led his brothers and sisters, a total of eleven people, standing aside.
"Your Majesty." After seeing Wu Nian, under the leadership of Liu Xiang, everyone saluted Wu Nian together. Liu Xiang's little face was full of joy.
Although the palace was busy and her two sons were at her knees, she did not feel lonely. But it has been more than three years, and I really miss my brother.
"They are all family members. Get up, get up." Wu Nian quickly stepped forward, helped Liu Xiang up, and then said to the concubines.
His eyes lingered on Kyogoku Yuki who was mixed in for a moment.
The concubines were very excited, but rules were rules. Moreover, Liu Xiang's position in the palace was as solid as a rock and as stable as Mount Tai.
Today, the King of Han belongs to the Queen.
Indeed. So many people were present. Wu Nian couldn't help but hug his beloved concubine one by one and whisper. He only held Liu Xiang's little hand, said a few words, and then let go.
If you have any secret words, you can say them in the palace, when you are alone. This is a good time to see my son in broad daylight.
Wu Nian came to the children.
At this glance, Wu Nian saw the secret.
I have two daughters and nine sons. Severe imbalance of yin and yang. If there are too many sons, it will be less valuable. Wu Nian missed his two daughters even more.
He first called his two daughters over and asked softly: "Wuyang, Huazhuang, come to the father's side quickly."
Wu Wuyang and Wu Huazhuang have grown up, and their appearance is similar to that of their mother, and they are very beautiful. Their mother raised them well, dignified and beautiful.
"Father." The two of them had not seen their father for more than three years, and they seemed a little unfamiliar. However, after hearing Wu Nian's call, the strangeness disappeared. They responded together and came to Wu Nian.
Wu Nian smiled broadly, held the two girls' little hands, and said a lot of words. He left his sons aside.
It wasn't until a long time later that Wu Nian let go of his daughter's little hand. He called his sons over and straightened his posture with a serious expression.
The Wang family respects the direct descendants.
Although Wu Min is the eldest son, it is the prince Wu Yu who leads the team.
Wu Yu was still the same, gentle and quiet. But gradually it became extraordinary.
High position and authority.
The prince is the crown prince of a country, and the king prepares officials.
To put it unluckily, if Wu Nian Yujia went on an expedition and died outside. The important responsibility of the country fell on Wu Yu.
The imperial court attached great importance to the cultivation of Wu Yu, and all the officials in the East Palace were elites.
Wu Yu was quiet and not very lively since he was a child, but he was smart and good at reading. Liu Xiang often said that this son is not like his parents.
Wu Nian is brave and good at fighting, but his reading level is not high. The words he wrote were laughed at by his enemies.
Liu Xiang is proficient in housework and farm work. She didn't know a single word in Douda before. Although I have worked hard to study these years, it is just like that.
It is indeed strange that the two of them gave birth to such a smart, talented and good at reading son.
However, although Wu Yu is good at reading, he is not a nerd. He is very clever. When talking to the courtiers in the East Palace, he basically doesn't speak. When he speaks, he hits the nail on the head.
Although he is young, he has won praise from teachers. Among the officials in the Eastern Palace, his prestige was extremely high.
simply put.
He is not the one being fucked, but the man who fucks.
Wu Nian often said that this boy is the leader of the family and the king of the industry.
As for the eldest son Wu Min.
Wu Nian only has two characters. Like me. He was naughty and mischievous when he was a child. When he grew up, he practiced martial arts and literature. He was good at bowing, horse riding, and shooting. He was strong and had extraordinary physical strength. He often led people to hunt, chase tigers and wolves, and was very brave.
As for the other sons, they are either young or mediocre.
And Wu Yu was also responsible for supervising the country during the more than three years when Wu Nian went to Fusang.
Wu Nian lowered his head and asked Wu Yu: "Prince, there is a saying. It is said that if you are willing to fight, you will perish, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. But now that the country is strong, the steel sword in the hands of the father is ready to move."
"Now Goguryeo and Fusang have been destroyed. In the north of the country is the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, and in the south is the Chu Kingdom. Do you think I should send troops to the north or south?"
All the concubines showed strange expressions, but Liu Xiang wanted to scratch her head, feeling angry in her heart.
"Brother, why did you ask your son about national affairs just after you came back?"
Wu Min's eyes flickered, and his strong body was full of people ready to move. However, after he glanced at Wu Yu, he remained disciplined and did not speak.
He has strong energy and is familiar with the art of war. He often uses hunting instead of marching to form formations. He directs from the center and is very organized and very capable.
But he also knew it early on. A country is orderly. If order is disrupted, the country may collapse.
Say it again. He gets along with Wu Yu on a daily basis and has a clear understanding of his brother's abilities and personality.
The prince is indeed capable.
In the future, let the prince sit on the throne of the King of Han. He had no objection.
In this case, he would become a prince and assist the prince.
Wu Yu was Wu Nian's son and was also influenced by Wu Nian. I am also quite interested in things like expansion and destruction of the country, and I often think about it. He said without thinking: "Return to the father. I think we should go south first and then north."
"Why?" Wu Nian asked with surprise in his eyes.
This is totally different from my own strategy.
"Although Shanhaiguan is difficult to attack, Xiong Wuwo only has the ability to defend, not attack. Attacking Shanhaiguan is an invincible position. If you can win, drive straight into the Central Plains. Integrate China, and then go back to Mongolia, Yuan and Slavs It’s much easier if you fight alone.”
"The Meng Yuan is strong and very dangerous. The mountains and rivers are poor, and there is not much benefit. Moreover, after defeating the Meng Yuan, we have to defend the Slavs. I think it is not worthwhile."
Wu Yu organized his words first and then said.
"Yeah. That's a good idea." Wu Nian hummed, then stretched out his hand, touched his head, and praised.
Although he is a prince, he is still his own son.
He did not explain whether his son's strategy was right or wrong. Because that's not important.
Either south first or north first, both are right.
As long as we can win, anything is easy to say.
What matters is not the idea.
But have your own ideas.
Have ideas and have the ability to take action. Then just take a big step forward and that's it.
If you are indecisive and have no idea, that's the end of it.
Wu Yu and Wu Min didn't quite understand. They looked up at Wu Nian with question marks on their faces.
"What is my (Prince's) strategic direction?"
