Xie Yunxi looked at Lin Ye's slightly tired face, walked gently behind Lin Ye, raised a pair of catkins to hold Lin Ye's shoulders, and looked at him with distressed eyes.
Of course she knew Lin Ye's abilities, and she also knew that the difficulties facing him now were all Lin Ye had anticipated.
But feeling sorry for a person and believing in his ability are never contradictory things. Sometimes, this point is often ignored, which makes the struggling person look even more lonely.
The wife feels that her husband is capable and does not need to worry about anything, so much so that she does not even ask her husband if he is tired. That is not something that can be understood by simply saying "I believe in your ability".
The husband feels that his wife is gentle, virtuous, and good at running the house, so he ignores everything after returning home. This is not something that can be understood simply by saying that you are at home and I feel relieved.
Lin Ye is very strong, whether it is personal cultivation or control of the battle situation, whether it is control of the world or the struggle for political power, he is very strong, but this does not mean that he does not need a pair of gentle hands to squeeze his back. A pinch.
"Sometimes, when things don't change significantly in a short period of time, it's appropriate to let your subordinates take up the burden."
Xie Yunxi said softly: "Didn't Feng Xiu do a good job in southern Xinjiang?"
Lin Ye said: "Before I went home, I had handed over all city defense matters to Feng Xiu. In the next few days, I will go out less and spend more time with you at home."
Xie Yunxi: "You accompany me? You are delaying me..."
Lin Ye: "Delaying my aunt?"
Xie Yunxi said: "This is the most beautiful time in Yunzhou. The flowers are all blooming and blooming. The various goods on Yunzhou Street are also dazzling. The most important thing is that it will be spring for Yunzhou students in a while. Now The streets are full of handsome young people, it’s very pleasing to the eyes.”
Lin Ye chuckled.
In fact, Dayu's imperial examination system is not yet perfect. It was gradually implemented from the Supreme Saint King. However, because the major families have been controlled by the noble forces, it is difficult to obtain official positions through the imperial examination.
Originally, according to the original idea, the rural examinations were held in various places around August, so it was called Qiuwei.
Every three years, a joint examination is held in Geling, the capital, and it is held in March, so it is also called Chunwei.
However, due to the obstruction of the major forces, Chunwei was also held in place and could not be held in Geling. This way, the major forces could more easily intervene in the trial and place more of their own people in it.
Originally, improving the imperial examination system was the first priority before Mr. Xin. However, after Mr. Xin came to power, he first had to face the rebellion of Liu Tingsheng and Guo Geming in southern Xinjiang, and now he had to launch troops against Lou Fan. The imperial court concentrated on fighting. So the imperial examination was delayed again.
According to the rules set before, the Spring Festival was held in the prefectural city of the Thirteenth Prefecture of Dayu. The Spring Festival of Yunzhou has always been... not interesting.
Previously, Tuoba Lie was in Yunzhou, and most of the people who excelled in the examination were retained by Tuoba Lie. Those who could not be retained would have their futures ruined by Tuoba Lie.
Coupled with the involvement of major forces and large-scale buying and selling, it will become a grand gathering for making money, and no one with real talent and learning will be able to go to high school.
This year's spring in Yunzhou is really interesting. These days, there is a war outside the city, while scholars are preparing for exams in the city. No one seems to worry that Yunzhou City will be attacked by millions of enemy troops.
Just because the two generals standing on the city wall guarding them, both Lin Ye and Ning Haitang, were very prestigious in Yunzhou, the students did not believe that Lou Fan could be the opponent of the general.
Xie Yunxi's words were full of handsome young men, and Lin Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"why are you laughing."
Xie Yunxi said: "In the past two days, I asked Xiaohe to accompany me to drink tea on the second floor of Qingyunzhai. There are many scholars coming and going on the street. The weather in Yunzhou is the weather in Dayu."
Lin Ye said: "If you look at the one you like, I'll catch it myself."
Xie Yunxi said: "Is it all pleasing to the eye?"
Lin Ye said: "Everyone is pleasing to the eye... Then let the Loufan people in, once and for all, everyone will die together!"
This time it was Xie Yunxi's turn to laugh.
"I'm telling you this."
Xie Yunxi said: "It's because spring will be here in three days. If you can take the time to meet the Yunzhou students, it will be a great encouragement to them, and in terms of your prestige..."
She paused for a moment.
Lin Ye nodded: "Auntie is right, I will take the time to meet you."
Xie Yunxi hummed: "These scholars may not be needed now, but in five years or ten years, who knows whether there will be a few pillars of talent."
Lin Ye said: "I'm afraid that if this matter spreads out, the adults at the Yushitai in Geling City will smell it again and keep biting me. It's not done until I bleed."
Xie Yunxi sighed: "Others are afraid that they will be labeled as a clique for personal gain, but it is you. Your Majesty, I don't want you to make more friends. Even the ministers in the office are eager to push some good talents to you."
Lin Ye said: "They don't think it's a serious matter, especially His Majesty, who actually cultivated his subordinates to form cliques for personal gain. After the victory, I will go back and ask him face to face, why did Your Majesty rebel?"
Xie Yunxi really couldn't hold it back and was amused by Lin Ye again.
"You rest for a while and let Xiaohe rub your shoulders. I'll go to the kitchen and tell them to cook something good today. I'm afraid what they cook is not to your liking."
Xie Yunxi motioned for Xiaohe to come over and replace him, but Lin Ye shook his head and said: "You are not allowed to go, and Xiaohe doesn't have to go. It doesn't matter what you eat, the important thing is to eat together."
At this moment, Pang Panghai stepped in from outside, leaned over and said: "General, General Ning sent someone to invite you, saying that he has military affairs to discuss."
Xie Yunxi laughed when she heard this, but she deliberately kept a straight face and said, "It seems that we can't eat together today."
Lin Ye said: "Pang Dahai, just say that I am not free today."
Pang Panghai said with some embarrassment: "General Ning is urging me urgently, saying that I must ask the general to come over today."
Lin Ye also made a serious face: "Then we'll go over after dinner."
Pang Panghai was stunned for a moment, and said to himself, General, although I am stupid, your calculations are so shocking that my ears are almost deafened... Went there after dinner, are you discussing military affairs?
outside the city.
Lou Fan's army has not attacked the city for three consecutive days. After the failure of the last attack, there was endless debate among the army as to whether the army should continue to attack Yunzhou or turn to fully occupy Dongbo.
Because of this matter, Zongzheng Xianhe had an extra headache.
He has sent people to rush back day and night, and asked Lou Fan's powerful gods to come over for support.
As for Yunzhou City, he personally really doesn't want to fight anymore.
The original intention of going south this time was to do a good job. If we can capture the entire territory of Dongbo, it will be a great victory, and the voices in the country will be suppressed.
With the territory of Dongbo, he was somewhat qualified to inherit the throne when he returned. As for being unable to rescue Zong Zhengshiquan... everyone knew in their hearts that it was simply impossible.
"Commander."
One of the staff members leaned over and said: "It seems that Yunzhou City's defense is fully prepared, and there are at least two powerful men in the God-endowed Realm standing guard. If we continue to fight, it will be of no benefit."
A military general stood up with a cry: "What are you talking about?! A million troops attacked Yunzhou in one go, and stopped attacking after a slight setback? Didn't the commander already invite masters from the Fushen Realm? , wait for help to arrive, and then attack Yunzhou, the city will be destroyed soon!"
The staff member said: "My mind is full of cow dung! The city of Yunzhou is well-defended, and there are two powerful men in the God-endowing realm now. Isn't it possible that a third one will come next? Besides, you have also seen that Yunzhou has Shangyang." The great etiquette of the palace is here, Shangyang Palace is the leader of the Jianghu of the Jade Kingdom, and the great etiquette of the Shangyang Palace is here, the sects of the Jianghu of the Jade Kingdom will inevitably come one after another..."
The general said angrily: "I think your mind is full of cow dung! Are the people in the Jade Kingdom so scary? I, Lou Fan, don't have any Jianghu?!"
At first, the two of them were quarreling. Later, more and more people got involved, and the whole tent became very noisy. Many people actually pointed at each other's noses and began to curse.
The more this happened, the more irritable Zong Zhengxian's mood became.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Zongzheng Xianhe slapped the table.
"Whoever makes more noise will be dealt with by military law."
Zongzheng glanced around for a week, and everyone in the big tent immediately shut their mouths.
"Let's put the siege on the city aside for now. It's not like we won't attack anymore. What's the rush?"
Zong Zhengxianhe first glared at the generals, and then looked at the staff: "What you lack is the courage to move forward, which cannot be compared with the generals!"
Two sentences, each can be regarded as a fifty-fifty hit.
The military generals felt that the commander-in-chief was still on their side after all, he had a military background. This battle was really not at a point where it couldn't be fought.
There are still hundreds of warriors from the Zhen Shen Clan. Although their leader was killed, this just aroused the hatred of the Zhen Shen Clan, and they will definitely work harder next time.
There are twenty bronze armors on Yunzhou City that look terrible, but no matter how terrifying they are, there are only twenty of them.
When Prince Zongzheng Lianhai gradually opens up the situation, captures the city and territory, and returns with a large number of Dongbo people, he may not be able to defeat Yunzhou City with a strategy of fighting at the cost of human life.
Speaking of which......
Zongzheng Xianhe was slightly startled: "Is there any news about Zongzheng Lianhai these days?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Zong Zhengxian asked: "There is no news from Wu Ke Maduo?"
Everyone shook their heads again, thinking that you don't even know the commander-in-chief, but we know nothing.
"Something's wrong..."
Zong Zheng stood up and walked back and forth in the tent for a while, then suddenly stopped: "Immediately send out scouts. If you want more, follow the place where Zong Zheng Lianhai's team walked and look for Zong Zheng." What on earth are Lianhai and Wu Kemado doing!"
"yes!"
His men immediately agreed.
At this moment, Zongzheng Xianhe felt that something was wrong, but he did not want to believe that Zongzheng Lianhai had the ability to secretly go back to fight for the throne.
Zongzheng Lianhai wants people but no one, money but no money, and no backers. He is the least qualified among the princes to compete for the throne. Even if he goes back secretly, who would dare to support him?
But vaguely, Zongzheng Xianyou felt that this matter was particularly unreliable...
"Send the order!"
Zongzheng Xianhe loudly ordered: "Let Pu Xi lead 10,000 elite cavalry to catch up. If Zongzheng Lianhai is in the army, bring him back. If he is not in the army, go all the way to the capital to chase him... No, with 30,000 elite cavalry, anyone who blocks your path will be killed without mercy."
If Zongzheng Lianhai knew that Zongzheng Xianhe was going to chase him at this time, he probably had one idea... You idiot, wait until you come back and kneel down and kowtow to me!
After a long journey, they were walking in a hurry. Ye Wuyou in the carriage looked very ugly and frighteningly white.
Fortunately, Zongzheng Lianhai knew that he couldn't live without Mr. Ye at this juncture, so he sent people to constantly look for famous doctors along the way. Wherever he could pass by, all the famous doctors were invited.
Ye Wuyou also carries medicine with him. When he feels really uncomfortable, he takes two pills. He is always accompanied by an old servant who looks to be sixty or seventy years old. He seems to know some basic medical skills. He also gives him medicine every day. He massages to activate blood circulation.
"Your Highness, I mentioned to you before that you should send a message to the descendants before arriving in the capital, but have you sent someone to do it?"
"Don't worry, sir, I have already made arrangements. I guess when we return to the southern border of the empire, the people from the descendants will give us a reply."
Ye Wuyou said: "With Master Qihui running around and planning with the help of the capital, there shouldn't be any surprises... Ahem, but His Highness still can't take it lightly."
Zongzheng Lianhai said: "Sir, please take a good rest. We can wait until we get to Southern Xinjiang to discuss these matters."
Ye Wuyou sighed: "With my body, who knows if I will be able to see His Highness ascend to the throne with my own eyes... Let's make more arrangements. Your Highness can write another letter and promise to be the Great General of the country." Descendants..."
Zongzheng Lianhai asked: "But, I have already agreed to give it to Wu Kemado..."
Ye Wuyou waved his hand: "Plan big things and don't stick to trivial matters. Wu Kema will understand His Highness's painstaking efforts and difficulties. Your Highness, don't delay, write a letter now."
Zongzheng Lianhai responded and went to write a letter.
Ye Wuyou leaned on the carriage, his eyes slightly wandering.
