Chapter 524 (Part 1)
The Shangguan brothers were named palace generals and became Tang Yin's veritable 'personal bodyguards'.
After the two brothers went out, it didn't take long before they both returned, followed by one, Wu Mei.
Seeing Wu Mei walking in, Tang Yin was also very surprised and asked subconsciously: "Xiao Mei, why are you here?"
Since Tang Yin became king, he has been so busy that he has never taken time to find Wu Mei. This is the first time the two of them have met in several days.
Tang Yin could calm down, but Wu Mei couldn't bear it anymore, and Wu Yu, who was seriously ill, also repeatedly told her to go to the palace to see Tang Yin and complete their marriage as soon as possible. After all, things would change soon. Now that Wu Yu was so sick that he couldn't even get out of bed, he naturally resigned from the post of prime minister. Tang Yin didn't even politely refuse, but immediately approved it. Wu Yu is no longer the high-ranking right minister. In his opinion, the dancer's family's prosperity and wealth can only be pinned on Wu Mei. If this marriage fails, the dancer's family will be completely in decline.
Under Wu Yu's repeated urging, and Wu Mei herself missed Tang Yin, she took the initiative to go to the palace. Everyone knew that Wu Mei was Tang Yin's fiancée. When she entered the palace, the guards guarding the gate didn't dare to stop her and let her go. After entering the palace, no one dared to stop Wu Mei or come forward to interrogate her. The whole journey was uneventful, except when she arrived at the door of the study, the guard in charge stopped her and did not let her enter. These are Tang Yin's personal guards, and Tang Yin has given an order that no one is allowed to enter and disturb them, so the guards' attitude is very tough.
But the more the guards blocked Wu Mei, the more suspicious Wu Mei became, and the more she wanted to see what Tang Yin was doing inside, and the more she tried to go inside, the two parties couldn't stop arguing, and the voices became louder and more intense. , finally reached the ears of Tang Yin in the study.
At this time, seeing that in addition to Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen and others were present in the study, and they seemed to be discussing some important matters, Wu Mei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then she calmed down and looked at Tang Yin.
Tang Yin was wearing a tailor-made king's robe, black and red. It was not gorgeous, but it was simple and well-fitted. It made his figure appear more slender. Looking at him, Wu Mei couldn't help but be filled with emotion. When she was with Tang Yin, The first time we met was in Hedong, where the Feng army was being defeated and fled. Who would have thought that the desperate deserter could now become the majestic king of a country.
"What? Now that you are the king, you don't even want to see me?" Wu Mei was also angry that after Tang Yin became king, not only did he not see himself, he didn't even send anyone to summon him to the palace. As if forgotten.
After hearing this, Tang Yin immediately understood that Wu Mei was angry with him. He was silent for a moment, smiled slightly, and said, "I've been really busy these past two days."
"So busy that you don't even have time to send someone to say hello?" Wu Mei asked suspiciously.
Tang Yin was silent, Wu Mei was right, but he was really negligent.
At this time, Qiu Zhen said from the side: "Miss Wu Mei, since the king succeeded to the throne, his affairs have been complicated, and the big and small things have piled up like a mountain. For several days in a row, the king has been trapped in the study to deal with various state affairs, and he has not had a good night's sleep. Yes, so I hope Miss Wu Mei can understand the king's difficulties. "Just go back to where you came from!" Qiu Zhen added silently in his heart.
Qiu Zhen's words made Wu Mei's heart tighten. She took a closer look at Tang Yin. Although he was still as energetic as before and his eyes were brighter, his cheeks had indeed lost a lot of weight. Wu Mei's original anger turned into distress in an instant. Her eyes were red, and she subconsciously held Tang Yin's hand and said softly: "You are already the king, why are you still making yourself so hard?!"
I can't see that Qiu Zhen's few words are more effective than his thousands. He held Wu Mei's little hand, pulled it into his arms, and said, "I'm fine." As he spoke, he turned back, looked at Qiu Zhen gratefully, and said, "That's all for today's discussion! "
Qiu Zhen and others looked at each other. Since Wu Mei was here, it was hard for him and others to stay any longer. They all got up and wanted to leave to Tang Yin. Tang Yin waved his hands at them and said, "You guys stay and continue the discussion." After that, he pushed Wu Mei away gently, then walked to the table, pointed at the map and said, "I mean, one hundred thousand plain troops." Attack Xiaoxia, 100,000 and 3 naval troops attack Fengcheng, 100,000 Flying Eagle Army is in front, march straight in, and take Qingyuan, the hinterland. I lead 100,000 direct troops behind. If the Flying Eagle Army's advance is blocked or is in danger of enemy siege, we will But reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible. Please discuss whether my method is feasible."
After speaking, Tang Yin didn't stop and pulled Wu Mei out of the study.
After Tang Yin and Wu Mei left, everyone woke up and listened to the king's wishes. This time to seize Hedong, the king will go out in person!
"This battle is dangerous, how can your Majesty get involved so easily?" Liang Qi was the first to say with a frown.
Xiao Muqing, Peng Haochu, Guyue, Ziying, Letian, Ai Jia and others also nodded, indicating that Liang Qi was right. Even though the Ning Army seemed to be vulnerable to fighting with its own side after entering Fengdi, that was due to many factors. In fact, the Ning Army's combat effectiveness was extremely strong. The disastrous defeat in Hedong more than two years ago was still vivid in our minds. This expedition It will definitely not be easy. Your Majesty is here in person. What if something unexpected happens?
Qiu Zhen looked at everyone, sighed secretly, and said: "With your warlike character, this is another battle related to the rise and fall of the country. How could you not go there in person? However, with your presence in person, the morale of our army will be greatly improved." They are all very encouraged, which is not a bad thing.”
Seeing that everyone had a thoughtful expression, Qiu Zhen said again: "We should be happy, because we are assisting a brave and heroic king, which is far better than a cowardly and cowardly king. Generals, what do you think?"
Hearing this, everyone's face straightened, and they all stood up, bowed to Qiu Zhen and said: "Prime Minister Qiu is right!"
In the past, when Tang Yin was not in the army, he would give the command to Qiu Zhen. There was a reason for doing so. First, he trusted Qiu Zhen, and secondly, Qiu Zhen himself had the temperament of a leader and could suppress and control the overall situation.
