Chapter 82
"It's me!" Luo Cheng agreed.
"Didn't the young marshal be escorted back to Beijing for trial? Why are you here?"
"I do not know."
The soldiers started talking in low voices.
"Young Marshal really wants to rebel, right?" The commander couldn't help asking, judging by his expression, if Luo Cheng really rebelled, he would follow.
From the commander's expression, Night Breeze also saw something wrong. They had followed the Luo family for a long time. Although Da Sui was raising them, their loyal object was the Luo family.
Fortunately, the Luo family did not rebel. If there was, the army might rebel at any time.
An army in the hands of one person for a long time has advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that it is handy to command, and the combat effectiveness can be displayed exceptionally in battle.
The disadvantage is that this army only knows that there is a commander, but not a king.
"Of course not, it's Yuwen and his son who really turned against him." Luo Cheng pointed at Yuwen Chengdu.
"Young Marshal, this is the new Marshal personally appointed by the Emperor, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain if he is killed." The Chief Commander worried.
"It's okay." Night Breeze stepped forward at this time, "Yu Wencheng wants to poison the king, and this alone is enough to kill the nine clans. Starting today, the Yanshan Army will be under the jurisdiction of Luo Cheng."
"Who is this?" The commander looked at Luo Cheng.
"Give the crown prince a salute." Luo Cheng shouted.
"Boss?" Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and immediately knelt down.
"The young general pays his respects to the prince!"
The last general can only call himself a partial general in front of his superiors, and few commanders can get the partial general title. Without a title, they can only call themselves young generals.
"Get up." Night Breeze waved his hands, and then looked at Luo Cheng, "I'll leave the rest of the matter here to you, once you're settled, go to Baguan immediately. If the Ming army has a rear army, it can only be rely on you."
"Won't the prince return to Baguan?" Luo Cheng asked.
"I'm going back to the capital. This incident is enough to bring down the Yuwen family, and if the Yuwen family is brought down, your Luo family should be able to rehabilitate." Night Breeze said.
Yu Wenhua and such a powerful official will play tricks, and it will definitely be a disaster for Da Sui if he is not killed. This time he must be completely killed!
"Thank you, Prince!" Luo Cheng knelt heavily on the ground, this kneeling came from his heart.
"It should be. It's because my royal family doesn't notice. I hope you don't hate my royal father." Night Breeze said.
Although he was a human being in two lifetimes, Ye Jian, his father, treated him well. It was only natural for Ye Feng to speak for him, and at the same time he was trying to appease Luo Cheng.
"When a good minister is in chaos and the country is in trouble, Luo Cheng can understand, and the prince can rest assured."
"Very good!" Night Breeze touched his shoulder, and without further words, he stepped on Qilin and set foot on the road to the capital.
the capital.
Night Breeze left at about 8:00 in the morning, and arrived in the capital at about 8:00 in the afternoon. Excluding the one-hour meal in the middle, it was almost eleven hours of driving.
Outside the capital city, Night Breeze got off the Qilin's back, put on the mask of Mr. Sapphire, and entered the palace overnight with the pass token.
Among the imperial officials, in the Shang's study room.
Ye Jian was still looking at the official document.
Ye Feng was at the border, and Ye Guang was building a canal outside.
Now there is no one to help, and with the continuous fighting recently, Ye Jian is also busy until late every day, his face is obviously haggard from exhaustion.
"Your Majesty, there is a man who claims to be Lord Lan Yu asking to see you." The chief eunuch reported.
"Master Lanyu? Is it the general of the Ming Dynasty, Lanyu? Impossible, not to mention that the two countries are at war, even if Ming wants to send envoys, it is impossible to send a general."
Ye Jian suddenly came back to his senses, and couldn't help asking: "How did he directly enter the imperial court?"
The rules of the Great Sui Imperial Palace were strict, even if it was an official of the country, below the third rank, he could not enter the official to seek an audience without being called at night, let alone a foreign envoy.
The Chief Superintendent handed over a pass token, "The person who came said, pass this up, and the emperor will understand."
After receiving the three-inch token made of pure gold, he recognized it immediately. This token was obtained by Ye Feng when he became the prince, and it was unique.
The eunuch hurried out, and soon led Night Breeze in.
When they arrived at Shang's study room, Night Breeze also tore off the character mask.
Seeing Night Breeze, Ye Jian couldn't help being a little excited, because he knew that Night Breeze had been fighting and was worried about him every day. Now that he saw it, he also walked down directly, putting his hands on Night Breeze's shoulders.
"Feng'er, first let Emperor Father take a good look at you." Ye Jian excitedly looked left and right.
"Fortunately, I didn't lose weight, but became stronger. Is it not hurt?" Ye Jian asked while watching.
"No, my son is fine." Night Breeze's eyes couldn't help but get a little moist. As an emperor in this world, his father is always busy with everything, but he has never lost his father's love.
In front of outsiders, Ye Jian may be a cruel person, but to Ye Feng, he is a father with an extra identity.
"That's good. Remember, fighting is a matter for generals. As a royal family, even if you want to go to the battlefield in person, you must never take the lead. It's fine when people arrive. Let others rush, you know?" Ye Jian explained.
"I know." Ye Feng responded, reassuring Ye Jian.
Ye Jian suddenly thought of something, "Feng'er, why did you suddenly return to office? Could it be..."
"Could it be that Baguan has been broken?" Ye Jian asked worriedly.
"Father is thinking the wrong way." Night Breeze said with a smile.
"Thinking the other way around?"
"Yes, my son not only defended Baguan, but also repelled the Ming army." Ye Feng said, and handed over the detailed battle report written by Xu Maogong to Ye Jian.
Ye Jian looked at the detailed battle report, his brows gradually relaxed, and then he couldn't help but feel happy, "Feng'er, this battle was fought beautifully! Liu Bowen has been beaten like this as a warlord, it's not easy."
"It's nothing." Night Breeze said.
Ye Jian thought Ye Feng was being humble, but Ye Feng was actually talking psychologically. With the strength he had back then, he defeated the 200,000 Ming army with such a small loss, so it was really not easy.
But compared to the situation to be faced later, it is really nothing.
"Feng'er, it's rare for you to have such ability and maintain a good attitude. It's really good. Father is very relieved to entrust Da Sui Jiangshan to your hands." Ye Jian praised.
"Father, stop praising me." Night Breeze smiled.
"Sit first." Ye Jian pointed to the chair next to the desk, which had always been where Ye Feng was.
Ye Jian looked at the battle report carefully, carefully checking the battle report, the damage on it, and the pension to be allocated. Seeing the numbers on it, Ye Jian committed the old habit of a miser again.
"Feng'er, isn't the pension too high?" Ye Jian said with a bit of distress.
Night Breeze's war death pension was paid for a soldier for 60 months, one hundred and twenty taels, which was almost three times higher than the pension in the previous two years of the Sui Dynasty.
"Father, I don't think there are many moths. Some moths don't contribute much to the country, but they live a very nourishing life. The soldiers on the battlefield fought to the death for the country and the people. Shouldn't we give some comfort to the family members? ?”
"Feng'er, your idea is wrong. Who is a soldier? They are just pariahs, how can they be compared with nobles?" Ye Jian said.
"Royal father, it is precisely these untouchables you speak of who are guarding the land of our Sui Dynasty, and those so-called nobles are lying in the gentle countryside and sucking the blood of my Sui Dynasty!" Night Breeze couldn't help but retort, because In his previous life, he was also a pariah as his father said in this life.
"Presumptuous!" Ye Jian, who was directly contradicted by Ye Feng, stopped drinking.
Night Breeze didn't speak, but he didn't even think about admitting his mistake.
"Okay, but the salary subsidy for 60 months is really too high, 40 months, right? This is already 16 months higher than before." Ye Jian actually compromised.
"Father, the children's pension has two purposes, one is out of respect for the soldiers on the battlefield.
The second reason is that more people are willing to actively join the army, so that the soldiers on the battlefield will have less worries, thereby changing the military strength of the Sui Dynasty. "
Ye Jian put down the battle report, and said in a tone as if he was treating the new king: "Feng'er, last year's treasury revenue in Da Sui was only one hundred million taels. It’s all gone, and other parties need money, where can I get it?
Maybe you think that the father is a miser, and the treasury is full and so stingy, but the father wants you to know that the father is also in case of emergencies, so that you can feel better when you take over. "
