Chapter 613 New Journey
As soon as the first month came out, good news continued to spread back to Pick City. First, Yunqing captured Taiyuan, and then Du Zheng captured Luoyang.
Looking at these battle reports, Yuxi's mood improved a lot: "At this speed, it is estimated that Shanxi and Henan can be captured in two months." This tone is like a bandit.
Xu Wu smiled and said, "Du Zheng was able to capture Luoyang so smoothly this time, thanks to Yang Duoming." Luoyang was the ancient capital of the Tang Dynasty, and its defenses were also very strong. It was broken by Du Zheng within three days, not because of his bravery, but because the city guard of Luoyang surrendered. And the one who talked about this general was Yang Duoming. Of course, only a few people know about it. It was Yunqing who actually took Taiyuan down.
Yu Xi hummed and said: "If you make good use of them, they will be worth thousands of troops." In the past few years, Yang Duoming's expenditure in Henan has reached one million taels of silver. But it turns out that the money was well spent.
Xu Wu agreed with this statement: "The princess is right. If it weren't for what the princess did in private, Taiyuan would not be able to stabilize so quickly." The provincial capital is occupied, so there is no need to worry about other places.
While talking, Tan Tuo came over.
What Yu Xi talked to Tan Tuo this time was about spring farming. The wheat planted in Gansu last autumn was frozen to death. It will have to be replanted this spring.
Seeing Tan Tuo handing in the papers, Yu Xi whispered, "I hope the weather will be smooth this year, otherwise, there will be no good seeds." There are still a lot of artichokes, but there are not many good seeds left after the distribution of wheat and millet. up.
Tan Tuo said: "Princess, don't worry, God won't be so cruel, this year must be a peaceful year."
After talking about Chungeng, Tan Tuo talked about the appointment of officials to Taiyuan and Luoyang. Tan Tuo said: "We must send available officials to stabilize the situation as soon as possible." It was a helpless move to select officials from among the locals when raising troops. Now that they have people under their command, they must give priority to their own people.
Yuxi hummed and said, "I already have candidates in Taiyuan, who do you think is more suitable for Luoyang?"
Tan Tuo said: "I think Master An is competent enough." In fact, Tan Tuo thinks that Fu Minglang is a good candidate, but he knows that Yu Xi does not trust Fu Minglang.
Yuxi nodded her head in agreement. On the face of it, An Zike's transfer to take charge of Luoyang is a demotion, but once Henan is defeated, he will be the highest power in the province.
Tan Tuo weighed it in his heart, and asked, "Princess, who do you plan to let go to Taiyuan?" The situation in Shanxi will be more complicated than that in Henan in the future, so the candidate must not only be trustworthy, but also have sufficient ability.
Yu Xi said: "My elder brother Han Jianming." In the past few years, Han Jianming has only been a third-rank official, but he has done no less than Tan Tuo. Letting him go to Shanxi would put Yuxi at ease, and also allow Han Jianming's ambition to come true. Over the past few years, Han Jianming has been suppressed by circumstances, but now that he has the opportunity, he can't let his elder brother be wronged anymore.
Tan Tuo hesitated for a moment, and said, "Princess, I'm afraid that someone will criticize you for nepotism." Five years was enough for him to understand Han Jianming. Han Jianming's literary talents are not outstanding, but he is a person who can do practical things and endure hardships. It would be nice to let him work in Shanxi, but Tan Tuo was worried that the people below would have objections.
In the past few years, many people have been dissatisfied with Yuxi's power, and Tan Tuo knew about it. Tan Tuo felt very wronged for Yuxi. These people only saw the glory of the princess when she was in power, but they didn't care about how many practical things the princess did to benefit the people.
A mocking smile appeared on Yuxi's face, and she said, "So what about nepotism? I will use whatever I have. And if I care about their ideas, then I don't have to do anything." Han Jianming was just the beginning, and then Afterwards, she will reuse the people she brought up with one hand. Only by establishing your own snobbery can you be truly invincible.
Tan Tuo heard this,
He lowered his head and said nothing. The more powerful she is, the more imposing the princess becomes. And those who want to bring down the princess, if they just think about it, it's okay, but if they take action, they will probably regret it.
Over the years, Tan Tuo also knew that Yuxi was a person who was not afraid of troubles and rumors. No matter how big things are, she can carry them through, and even become more courageous as she gets frustrated. It can be said that he is lucky to be able to follow such a master. Of course, the reason why Tan Tuo followed Yuxi so wholeheartedly was because Yuxi gave birth to four sons, and the four sons were her greatest reliance.
Han Jianming was surprised and delighted when he knew that Yuxi was going to send him to Shanxi. He has also thought about it in the past two days, but he feels that Yuxi may not consider him for the time being. Unexpectedly, Yuxi actually ordered him. However, Han Jianming had the same worries as Tan Tuo: "If you send me to Shanxi, someone will definitely attack you."
Yu Xi said: "I sent my eldest brother, who is competent for this job. As for other people, their mouths are on them, let them say whatever they like." Yu Xi hated these people extremely. These people just make irresponsible remarks because they feel that they have not received enough benefits, so how can they be really out of public interest.
Han Jianming said: "I'm not afraid of those people's gossip, but I'm afraid that my brother-in-law will take it to heart if he hears too much." No matter how many people outside talk, Han Jianming doesn't care. He only cares about Yunqing's attitude, because everything about Yuxi depends on Yunqing.
Yu Xi smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, the prince has never doubted me. Besides, I also told him that when Brother Hao grows up and can stand alone, I will hand over the power." Yun Qing is not interested in government affairs. Not keen, he prefers to fight.
Han Jianming clicked, a man may be wary of his wife, but he will never be wary of his son, because the son is his continuation. Of course, this is just Han Jianming's own idea. Even so, what should be reminded still has to be reminded. Han Jianming said: "Yuxi, my brother-in-law has been fighting outside for a long time, you have to be prepared." Seeing Yuxi looking at him suspiciously, Han Jianming said: "You gave birth to four sons for my brother-in-law, and guarded the rear. Under normal circumstances, no one will shake your position. But you can't let your guard down, I believe you know more about the example of latecomers than I do." What Han Jianming said meant that Yunqing might find someone outside Women, if you find a woman, you will naturally have children.
Yuxi smiled and said: "I believe in the prince." If Yunqing had this intention, he couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.
Han Jianming weighed it in his heart and said: "Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was notoriously afraid of his wife, the Dugu Empress, but even so, Emperor Wen of Sui also favored many palace people, and later there were several wives in the harem. Brother-in-law and so on It is your blessing and your ability to only guard you for a year, but there are few men in the world who can guard you for such a long time when they are away from home. So, once such a thing happens, you can’t talk to your brother-in-law Make trouble. Otherwise, you can only be the one who suffers." When Yunqing was in Pick City, Yuxi was able to win over her. But now that Yunqing is fighting outside, and many people under Yunqing are dissatisfied with Yuxi, these people will not always look at Yuxi as the only favorite, and will definitely try their best to sabotage it. That's why Han Jianming said these things to Yuxi.
Yu Xi smiled and said, "I'll let you worry about it." After finishing speaking, she changed the subject and stopped talking about it.
ps: I went to see a doctor yesterday, and the doctor said that I can't sit too much in my current condition, otherwise the consequences will be serious. ~So during this period, try to keep double updates in June, and the rest depends on the situation. (to be continued)
