Chapter 696 Politicians

After Dayu's death, Housekeeper Cao returned Yan Wushuang's order: "My lord, I don't know how to handle Yu's funeral?" Yan Wushuang said whether it was a generous burial or a broken straw mat was rolled up and thrown into the funeral mound.

Yan Wushuang said: "Let's bury him generously!" No matter what, Dayu's family also gave birth to him a son, and it would not look good to throw it away like this.

Steward Cao took the order and went down.

Back in the study, Yan Wushuang continued to deal with things, and suddenly raised her head and said, "It's not a good thing to have too many women."

Meng Nian knew that what happened today had touched Yan Wushuang: "The Dayu family is dead, the prince doesn't need to think about it."

Yan Wushuang smiled and said: "I didn't think much about it, but it's really troublesome if there are too many women. Yunqing is only Han Yuxi, and although Han Yuxi is jealous and makes outsiders say that Yunqing is afraid of his wife, but their husband and wife are of one heart, and their children are sensible and filial "On the other hand, the women around him have their own thoughts, except for Po, the other children are afraid of him when they see him, and cringe when they see him. He thinks he is better than Yunqing, but he is far behind Yunqing in terms of family.

Meng Nian thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, it is uncertain whether Yunqing can keep guarding the Han family." Yunqing is only thirty-four years old this year, just in his prime. And the Han family is nearly thirty, already a middle-aged lady. He didn't believe that Han Yuxi could still rival those tender and beautiful young girls.

Yan Wushuang smiled and said: "Even if Yunqing takes concubines now, so what? Han Yuxi has half of the credit for the development of Northwest China and the downfall of Jiangnan. In addition, all of Yunqing's children are born of Han Yuxi. No one can shake her position, not even Yunqing."

Meng Nian said: "That's not necessarily the case. In case Yunqing falls in love with other women and gives birth to children, Han Yuxi's children are not the only ones."

Yan Wushuang laughed out loud, but didn't speak.

Meng Nian thought for a while and said: "Unless Yunqing can remain unchanged, Han Yuxi cannot be stopped." The military power is in Yunqing's hands, and the husband and wife turned against each other, Han Yuxi is not Yunqing's opponent. Of course, the prerequisite is that Yunqing changes his mind and falls in love with other women.

Yan Wushuang smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "The longer you stay in power, the harder your heart becomes. Yu Wenhe became a stumbling block to the Northwest Army's capture of Tanzhou, and Han Yuxi ordered him to be poisoned. Meng Nian, ten years It has made Han Yuxi grow into a qualified politician." Politician is not a good word. But what Yan Wushuang meant by saying this, if someone interfered with the interests of Yu Xi and her children, she would definitely kill her.

Meng Nian frowned and said, "What the lord said is that Han Yuxi grew up too fast." In just ten years, Han Yuxi has grown from a housewife to a qualified politician, which is amazing.

Yan Wushuang said: "God loves Yunqing too much." He loves Yunqing so much, but he is very cruel to him.

Meng Nian hesitated and said, "Actually, the side concubine is not bad." Not to compare with Han Yuxi, but among the group of women in the backyard of Prince Yan's mansion, Han Yuchen performed very well.

Yan Wushuang laughed at herself: "If she doesn't fight or grab, that's because she doesn't care." Han Yuxi couldn't tolerate other women approaching Yunqing, it was because she had Yunqing in her heart. Han Yuchen didn't care about him pampering other women, it was because Han Yuchen didn't care about him.

Meng Nian felt that it was not good to continue this topic, so he changed the topic stiffly: "My lord, General Qiu has arrived in Tongcheng. I hope the battle situation there will improve." The battle situation is deteriorating, and I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on if we fight.

Afraid of what to come, Tongcheng sent another battle report in the evening. This time it was Qiu Dashan who led the troops to fight. Although he repelled the Donghu people again, he lost more than 50,000 soldiers and horses.

Yan Wushuang gave an order silently, asking Lin Fengyuan to take 100,000 soldiers to Tongcheng to support Qiu Dashan.

Meng Nian was a little anxious and said, "My lord, there are only 160,000 soldiers in the capital, and if we transfer 100,000 soldiers to Tongcheng, the defense of the capital will not be stable."

Yan Wushuang said: "I will order to transfer 50,000 troops from Shandong and Hebei to the capital." The reason why they will send troops from these two places is because Yan Wushuang only arrived in Yunqing this year, and it is definitely impossible to attack Shandong and Hebei again this year. . Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the risk.

Although Meng Nian was worried, he also knew that there was no better way right now. Liaodong suffered such heavy losses, and if no troops were sent to support it, the consequences would be disastrous if Tongcheng fell.

Lin Fengyuan was very surprised to get the transfer order. He thought that he would never leave the capital in his life, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to return to Liaodong.

But Gu Jiu was furious: "Now that Tongcheng is beating so badly, he clearly wants us to die?" Good things don't have their share, and bad things will be thought of them first.

Lin Fengyuan was not angry, and said: "You said something depressing before you set off? If you are afraid of death, then you should not follow." Tongcheng is dangerous, but it is better than being trapped in the capital. Furthermore, going to Tongcheng does not necessarily mean death.

When Gu Jiu heard that he was not allowed to go, she immediately became sleepy.

Lin Fengyuan said: "Hurry up and pack your things, and leave early tomorrow morning." It's not easy to start now that it's dark, otherwise he would have left Beijing with his troops.

That night, Yan Wushuang slept in Yuchen's yard. In fact, Yuchen was afraid of Yan Wushuang in his heart, and he had to concentrate on serving Yan Wushuang every time.

After a while, Yan Wushuang played with Yuchen's hair and said, "The steward Cao is a man, so he will inevitably be negligent in managing the inner courtyard. I want to hand over the general affairs. Who do you think is appropriate to hand over to?" Yuchen not only Her skin was as white and tender as suet jade, and even her black hair was as soft and smooth as silk. Yan Wushuang loves to play with Yuchen's hair on weekdays.

Yuchen's heart trembled slightly, and he said with a smile: "Achi and Abao are already busy enough, the concubine can't take care of the affairs of the palace." It's not that she can't take care of it, it's that she doesn't want to take care of it That bunch of trivial things.

Yan Wushuang chuckled: "Is it because I can't control it, or I don't want to control it?" When Han Yuchen was the queen, he was able to take care of the affairs of the harem properly. Now that the population of the palace is not large, how could it be impossible to manage it. This is nothing more than Han Yuchen's evasion.

Yuchen's face turned pale, she was not afraid of Yan Wushuang's cold face now, but she was afraid of Yan Wushuang's smile. The smiling Yan Wushuang always gave her a creepy feeling. Yuchen bit the bullet and said: "The concubine is lazy, she just wants to raise flowers and play the piano, and live a leisurely life." Yuchen thinks the current life is pretty good, and doesn't want to change anything.

Yan Wushuang smiled and said: "Since you don't want to care, forget it." The cow doesn't drink water, so it's pointless to hold it.

Yuchen was a little surprised, she thought Yan Wushuang was trying to test her, but she didn't expect it to be true. But she didn't regret it, if she was in charge of the inner courtyard, she wouldn't have time to practice piano and paint.

In the end, Yan Wushuang did not hand over the general affairs of Prince Yan's mansion to the woman in the inner court, but still let the housekeeper Cao take care of it.
