Chapter 89 Inspecting the Barracks

Du Wenshu and his party waited for about a quarter of an hour, and a man about forty years old came out from inside. This man didn't wear armor or official uniform, just wearing a long crimson robe.

Huo Changqing looked at Du Wenshu and said, "You must be Lord Du, right? I'm Yunqing's uncle Huo Changqing. This kid Yunqing is not good at dealing with people. If he said something unpleasant, please forgive him. "

After hearing this, Du Wenshu said, "It turned out to be Uncle Huo. I'm ashamed to ask Uncle Huo to pick up this junior in person." Even if Huo Changqing didn't have an official position, he still had to be respectful. Not sure, this is the key figure of Shuotong Yunqing.

Huo Changqing is not a person who often laughs, and he will not act flatteringly, he said: "Master Du, you are being polite, Yunqing just told me that Master Du wants to see the situation in the barracks."

Du Wenshu nodded and said: "The crown prince heard General Qin Zhao say that the life of the soldiers in the border towns was extremely difficult, so he took it to heart. This time, he asked the officials to come over and see what the soldiers lacked. His Highness said , I would rather suffer myself and all the officials than suffer the soldiers who threw their lives and blood for the defense of the country." What this means is that if the soldiers are really going through a difficult time, the crown prince will definitely do his best to let these soldiers live. Take it easy.

Huo Changqing also couldn't express his gratitude to the prince for his heart for the soldiers in the border towns, so he said immediately: "Master Du, please come with me." After speaking, he took Du Wenshu to the training ground, looked at the crude equipment in the training ground, and then took him with him. Du Wenshu went to the place where the soldiers lived.

Pointing to a white-washed quilt, he said: "This quilt has been used for five years, and it is no longer warm. In winter, it is not warm at all in this life. Get up and sleep together, so that we can also take each other's warmth."

After saying this, he pointed to a soldier who came in and said, "Take off the cotton coat on your body and show Master Du."

After coming out of the place where the soldiers lived, he took Du Wenshu to the racecourse and the kitchen. Pointing to the black corn buns, Huo Changqing said: "Except for the festivals and festivals, the soldiers can only eat meat on the eve of the war. Usually , it would be nice to be able to eat enough.” This means that the life of soldiers is already too hard.

After visiting the barracks, Du Wenshu felt as if a stone was pressing on his heart. Suppressing his emotions, Du Wenshu said, "Where is General Yun? I want to see General Yun?"

Huo Changqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, then come with me!"

The place where General Yunqing lives is also very simple. There is a map hanging on the wall facing the door. In the room, apart from a long table and a few chairs, there is also a pot of burning charcoal fire. there is none left.

Du Wenshu saw all this in his eyes, and said: "General Yun, do you have something to say to General Yun?" The meaning of these words was very clear, and the crown prince had something to pass to him in private.

Yun Qing waved his hand, except for Huo Changqing, everyone else in the room went down. This habit was influenced by Yu Xi, Yu Xi waved her hand without opening her mouth when she told people to go down. It has to be said that Yuxi still has a great influence on Yunqing.

Everyone left, Yunqing said with a cold face: "If you have anything to say, just say it, I still have a lot of things to deal with." The attitude is the same as before, without any change.

Du Wenshu didn't hide it anymore, and said, "General Yun, this time the crown prince specially ordered the subordinate officials to come and visit General Yun." Seeing that Yun Qing was silent, Du Wenshu said: "General Yun, the crown prince knows General Yun was wronged by the previous incident. The crown prince didn’t know about it before, and he corrected the mistake immediately after knowing it. The crown prince also said that such things will never happen again.” This is very vague, the so-called The grievance actually refers to Yunqing's outstanding military achievements, but being suppressed by the Song family and not allowing him to be promoted.

Yunqing heard this,

With a sullen face, he didn't speak. If it wasn't for his uncle, he would have thought that it was the crown prince who had promoted him in order to win over the Song family despite the opposition of the Song family! As a crown prince, it is extremely shameful for him to pretend to be credited without saying a single word of truth.

Du Wenshu explained the prince's meaning clearly, seeing that Yunqing still didn't say a word, he couldn't hold back, and asked: "General, I have talked so much with the general, does the general have anything to say? "

Yun Qing raised his head, looked at Du Wenshu and said, "My duty is to guard Yucheng, and prevent the northern captives from entering Yucheng." It meant that he didn't get involved in anything else.

At this moment, Guo Xun shouted outside: "General, Yu Zhi has brought medicine." Ever since Yuxi knew that Yunqing was ill, she had to take herbal diet three times a day, every day.

Yun Qing said in a cold voice: "Bring it in!" Actually, Yu Xi has improved this medicinal food now, and the taste is much better than before, but Yun Qing still doesn't like to eat it.

After hearing this, Du Wenshu asked: "Is the general sick?" Seeing Yunqing alive and well, he didn't seem to be sick.

Huo Changqing said with a smile: "Yunqing suffers from insomnia, and Mrs. Han happened to have studied pharmacology, so he boiled the medicinal diet for him to eat. After taking it for a while, the insomnia has been relieved a lot. Speaking of it, I have to thank the emperor and the imperial concubine." Otherwise, Yunqing wouldn't be able to marry such a virtuous wife." Huo Changqing couldn't be more satisfied with Yuxi.

Du Wenshu's heart choked up, but he said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty is wise, General Yun is very lucky." Apart from this, he really didn't know how to answer the question. But he knew that last year, the Han family and the second son of Tai Ning Hou were about to get married, but they withdrew two days before the marriage. Although it was said that Mrs. Han was seriously ill and the two children were not compatible, but no one with a discerning eye would know that there was something tricky about it. Later he also heard that the two divorced because Princess Qinxin fell in love with Chen Ran. As for why Princess Qinxin didn't make Chen Ran her son-in-law, he didn't know. But he knew one thing clearly, that is, Concubine Song's gift of marriage that day was uneasy and kind.

Yun Qing looked up at Du Wenshu and said, "I wonder when Master Du will go back?"

Du Wenshu grunted, and said, "I'll be back right away." Usually, when you go to someone's house to talk about something or be a guest, if you want to leave, you have to bring tea to let you experience it yourself. It was the first time for him to be kicked out directly.

Yun Qing said: "I mean, when will Mr. Du return to the capital? There was so much snow in the twelfth lunar month of last year and the first month of this year, and many cattle, sheep and horses outside the Great Wall froze to death. After the spring, there will be a fierce battle. This Please tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in time." In fact, the brochure had already been submitted, and then asked the Ministry of War for money and food. This time, he specifically told Du Wenshu that he also hoped that Du Wenshu could go back soon, and he was impatient to receive Du Wenshu again.

When Du Wenshu heard this, he said seriously: "The lower official will return to Beijing as soon as possible and report the news to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Yun Qing thought to himself, when you return to Beijing to report, maybe I have finished fighting here. But Yunqing didn't say anything, but took out the medicinal meal made by Yuxi from the food box, and ate it with a crying face. The people next to him looked at it and thought he was taking poison!

After leaving the barracks, Du Wenshu's short entourage asked, "My lord, what is Yunqing's attitude?"

Du Wenshu didn't answer this question, but said: "We must hurry back to the capital as soon as possible!" Yun Qing's answer did not satisfy Du Wenshu, but he also knew that this was already the best result.

Yu Zhi brought the food box back to the mansion, and said to Yuxi: "Madam, Du Wenshu, who claimed to be an imperial envoy, wandered around the Dingbei military camp for a long time. He went to the training ground, horse farm, house, kitchen, etc. Huo The uncle said, that Du Wenshu doesn’t seem to be a good talker, maybe it’s really useful.” The usefulness means that it can win more money and materials.

Yuxi smiled. If she hadn't looked at Du Wenshu with clear eyes, she wouldn't have persuaded Yunqing to say those words, so she nodded and said, "That's good. You've worked hard too, go down and rest!" Three medicated meals a day , Yu Zhi and two other guards were sent to the barracks. The reason why there were two guards accompanying him was because he was worried that someone would make trouble on the way. Yuxi had told Guo Xun before that if the three of them hadn't delivered the medicinal food to the barracks together, they wouldn't have sent it to Yunqing.

After a while, Xu Wu came in and said, "Ma'am, the chief steward of the Qin family went to the inn to ask Du Wenshu to see him. He entered for a long time and came out with a smile on his face." The inn was heavily guarded, and Xu Wu temporarily Haven't heard what happened yet.

Yu Xi smiled, and said, "The prince's ability is pretty good." Du Wenshu, who came here this time, still has two brushes. If Yunqing hadn't known the details of the prince, Du Wenshu would definitely have liked him as a lobbyist. As for Qin Zhao, he was obviously appeased. It's a pity that the crown prince's ability still can't shake the two big mountains of the Yu family and the Song family.

Xu Wu said: "Madam, I will let people continue to pay attention to Du Wenshu's movements."

Yuxi nodded and said, "Well, come and tell me immediately if you have any new actions." Qin Zhao must have talked with Du Wenshu in person before he can rest assured.

Xu Wu nodded, and then went out.

Zi Jin watched Yu Xi sinking into deep thought, and didn't dare to call her for fear of disturbing her thoughts, so she went out and saw Mother Xi. Thinking about what Mama Xi said before that pregnant women should not bother their minds, Zijin went over and asked Mama Xi: "Mom, madam often takes too much time to think about things, is it not good?" However, her wife hasn't really rested for a day since she was pregnant.

Mother Xi shook her head and said: "It's okay to think about things occasionally, as long as you don't bother too much, don't worry! I have been serving in the inner courtyard all the time. If there is something wrong, I will remind Madam." In other words, you have to control within a certain range. But Yuxi is still within this range for the time being.

Zijin nodded and said, "That's good." (To be continued)
