Xie Hun glanced at Yu Yue with disdain and said coldly: "Yu Gong, aren't you sick? You didn't take up the post of Wuling Internal History given to you by the imperial court. I was surprised when I saw you today. , no matter how big this grand gathering is, it should be attended by current officials. If everyone with no title or rank comes, will it not be a market? "
Yu Yue's face turned slightly red, then he laughed: "Xie Pushe may not know something. Although Wuling Neishi is the one who cannot cure me due to illness, after several months of recuperation, my health has improved and I can You have served your country. This meeting of the Great Dynasty is about military matters. Those who want to serve their country can participate even if they do not have an official status. Just like Wugang Man, he does not have an official status either, so he is here too. .”
"Our Yu family is a high-ranking family since the founding of the Jin Dynasty. From our ancestors, we have been taught to be loyal to the country and benefit the people. This time the Southern Yan invaded from the south, killing our soldiers and plundering our people, and even attempted to destroy Liu Zhenjun's immigration to Jiangbei. The plan is either unbearable or unbearable! Although I, Yu Yue, am not talented, I am familiar with classics and history and know military affairs. I have fought with the Western Expedition Army before and made great achievements. I think I can handle this Northern Expedition. It helps.”
Monk Xi said with sarcasm, tilted his head and looked at Yu Yue, and sneered: "Really? Last time I remember that when Yu Gong arrived in Liyang, he refused to take a step forward anymore. He said that he was sick. This disease Even for two years, he refused to even become the internal historian of Wuling. In this Northern Expedition, have you thought about where you will start to get sick?"
A group of children from aristocratic families behind Xie Hun and others burst into laughter. Yu Yue was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Xi Danyang (Xi Sengshi is now Danyang Yin, equivalent to the mayor of Jiankang), don't bully others too much! During the Western Expedition, you and Xie Pushen just arrived at Yuzhang and stopped moving. How are you any better than me?!"
Xi Sengshi put away his smile and said coldly: "It was Liu Yuzhou who asked us to stay in the rear to handle military affairs. It was not because we claimed to be sick and refused to go forward. After the war, we did not resign our official positions and have been doing our best. But it's you, Mr. Yu. , I stayed back during the war and did not move forward, but now that I see another opportunity to make a contribution, I want to follow suit. Is this really good?"
Yu Yue stomped her feet angrily: "I want to serve the country by joining the army just to take credit? Don't you think so?"
Xie Huan said coldly: "Yu Gong, it's two different things. What we just said was to let our nephews join the army. At this age, we old guys have to compete with the younger generations for credit. This is not good. Besides, Liu Zhenjun In the Northern Expedition, the supply of military supplies for the army in the front also depends on the stability of the rear. Who will guard the rear if they are all on the front? You can do whatever you want, but my Xie family and Xi family will not follow them. Liu Zhenjun , please forgive me for this."
Liu Yi followed up and said: "Yes, the Northern Expedition is important, but the flanks also need to be protected, and the rear also needs to be guarded. Talents are also needed in the direction of Yuzhou and Jiangzhou, and there are still people in charge of Jiankang City. Now that Wang Shangshu has passed away, Lian Xin The Shangshu Ling has not yet been elected. Under such circumstances, it would not be a good idea to rush to the north."
Liu Yu nodded: "What Xile said makes sense. In this Northern Expedition, we do not force a large number of children from aristocratic families to join the army. After all, the war is fierce and dangerous, and the use of troops this time requires dangerous moves. The difficulty is not small, and the entire army may even be annihilated." There are also risks. We very much welcome the children of aristocratic families who want to take the initiative to join the army. However, supplying food and grass in the rear, serving in the army in the military mansions of Liu Yuzhou and He Jiangzhou to protect the country and the people are also serving the country. If we are successful, When it comes to rewards based on merit, everyone’s contribution is indispensable.”
At this point, Liu Yu curled up his lips: "As for the matter of the Minister's Order, it needs to be discussed separately. This time, it is best to decide whether to fight Nanyan for war or peace. It is better not to discuss this topic for the time being."
Sima Dewen sighed: "It's a pity that Sima Zun, the king of Wuling, also died of illness a few months ago. God forbid my victory in the Jin Dynasty, and I have lost many pillars in the court."
Liu Yu smiled slightly, looked at Meng Chang, and said: "Since Meng Pushe took office, everything in the capital has been arranged in an orderly manner, and the atmosphere in the court has also been cleared up. Everyone has seen his ability. I think that if the army goes out for an expedition, our generals will either go to the north or return to their posts to guard the border. The affairs of the capital will be left to Meng Pushe, while the logistics of Wu will be left to Xie Pushe and Xi. Danyang Duoduo is worried. As for the affairs in the palace, Xu Changshi will assist His Royal Highness King Langya to handle it. The Queen will take care of His Majesty. Major military and political matters ahead need to be decided by Your Majesty personally. In this way, everyone will perform their duties and do their best. , Why do you know that the great cause will not be achieved?"
Xie Hun and Xi Sengshi looked at each other, and together with Yu Yue, they raised their hands and said, "What Liu Zhenjun said is in my opinion. We agree with it."
Wang Shennai smiled slightly: "It seems that this matter can be decided, but there is only one thing. I have different opinions."
Liu Yu was a little surprised and looked at Wang Shen'ai: "The Queen has any other wishes, but please tell me directly."
Wang Shen'ai looked into Liu Yu's eyes motionlessly: "This Northern Expedition is the first time in the hundred years since the founding of the Jin Dynasty that we have a real opportunity to defeat Nihu and regain the country's foundation. For such a big event, I think the royal family of the Sima family , the responsibility is unshirkable, the Sima family should collect it personally, rather than entrusting it to others."
Liu Yu didn't expect Wang Shen'ai to say this. He opened his eyes wide: "What does the queen mean?"
Wang Shen'ai said loudly: "Your Majesty just said that his dragon body is not in good shape and cannot withstand the fatigue of traveling and traveling. Although he has the intention to lead a personal expedition and kill thieves to restore the country, he can only appoint others. King Langya is in charge of the jade seal and is the leader of the clan. , in order to avoid the occurrence of Sima Guofan, Sima Chu and other clan rebels this time, he needs to be in the capital, and there is only one person who can represent the Sima family in the northern expedition and regain the country!"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth, and now he understood what Wang Shen'ai meant: "Queen, do you want to conquer Qingzhou personally on behalf of the emperor?"
Wang Shen'ai stood up, tears glistening in his eyes: "I, Wang Shen'ai, am a noble man. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, my great ancestor led the Huainan rebel army in the northern expedition to the Central Plains, spilling blood on the battlefield. And my grandfather Wang Youjun, my late father ( Wang Shen'ai (who is now nominally the daughter of Wang Xianzhi and Princess Xin'an) has also been teaching me that Langya, the ancestral home of our Wang family, is still in Nihu's hands, and the tombs of our ancestors are still being poisoned by Hulu. This time, I am not only fighting for your majesty and the Sima family, but also for our royal Langya family, and I also ask the town army not to refuse."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and knelt down on one knee: "The queen's body is rich in gold, and she can not be afraid of dangers and take risks herself, which is an example for us. I, Liu Yu, will not hesitate to go through fire and water to protect the queen." .”
A trace of perseverance flashed in Wang Shen'ai's eyes: "What Nanyan Murong Lan can do, I, as the Queen of the Jin Dynasty, can also do. Liu Zhenjun, we are all well prepared. This time, you will not be alone." OK!"
