Chapter 153 Arrogance(1/2)
Vice General Li blinked at Chu Yunning excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation: "Chu Shang Palace, go and have a look."
Chu Yunning was amused by Vice General Li and stood up slowly: "Why is Vice General Li suddenly so interested in farming?"
"Harmful!" Lieutenant General Li scratched his head in embarrassment. In just a few days, he watched the vegetables planted in the hole he dug sprout out little by little and then harvest. It was simply incredible. He was like
It's like caring for a child, careful and very achievement-oriented.
This feeling is different from fighting. You no longer have to worry and rack your brains all day long. It is also different from training soldiers and horses. You only need to water it carefully and you will gain success.
"Chu Shanggong, please stop making fun of me. Isn't this me just confused for a moment?" Vice General Li was more convinced of Chu Yunning. He no longer dared to look down on women.
There are so many things that women can do.
"Let's go." Chu Yunning said.
Lieutenant General Li sighed repeatedly and led the way towards the shed not far away as quickly as possible. Along the way, he did not forget to chirp and introduce: "I have adjusted the conditions in the shed according to Chu Shang Palace's instructions.
Temperature, warm water is poured every day to ensure the freshness of the soil, and the bees in the shed are also alive."
Chu Yunning raised the curtain and bent down into the greenhouse. He looked around and couldn't help but keep nodding. "Vice General Li is indeed talented. Yes, these vegetables are growing better than I expected."
"Really?" After receiving the compliment, Vice General Li was as happy as a three-year-old child, with smiles in his eyes.
Seeing this, Bixiu also joked: "I didn't expect that Vice General Li could not only lead troops in war, but he could also farm better than others. He is worthy of being a prize valued by the emperor."
Lieutenant General Li's face turned red with embarrassment. He smiled, bent down and pulled up some Chinese cabbage and gave it to Bixiu: "I have tasted it. The cabbage in winter is sweet and delicious, and it is even more delicious than what I usually eat."
, the soldiers will definitely be happy if they can eat such fresh cabbage."
Changing the subject, he added: "Chu Shanggong, thanks to you, stationing at the border is a very difficult task. Many people are not unwilling to serve the country, but their health does not allow them to eat enough.
After a few years, my health has become worse."
Lieutenant General Li bowed to Chu Yunning solemnly, "I was blind to Mount Tai in the past, and I offended Chu Shang Palace with my words. Please forgive me."
"Vice General Li's words are serious." Chu Yunning hurriedly helped Vice General Li up, indicating that he didn't need to be polite: "I can only do my best, it's nothing, especially compared to you charging at the front, these are more important
It’s not worth mentioning.”
After hearing this, Vice General Li felt even more ashamed.
The half-month period has come, and Vice General Li walked toward the largest tent with a few cabbages in his hands. He raised the curtain and almost bumped into Eunuch Mo: "Hey, Vice General Li?"
"Is the emperor inside?" Lieutenant General Li shouted deliberately at the top of his voice. His voice was loud and soon alerted Emperor Mingwen.
Emperor Mingwen immediately said: "Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lieutenant General Li couldn't wait to rush over with Baicai. As if he was afraid that the other party wouldn't see him, he deliberately cupped Baicai and held it in front of his arm: "General, I would like to pay my respects to the emperor. May the emperor be blessed with peace and prosperity."
Emperor Mingwen curled his lips: "Vice General Li, did you plant this?"
"Replying to the emperor, the last general planted it with his own hands, from cultivating the land to spreading the seeds to controlling the temperature..." Vice General Li talked a lot, as if he was afraid that Emperor Mingwen wouldn't believe it. He went into great detail, even the day when the seeds would sprout
I can speak in great detail.
"Your Majesty, this is the tribute given to you by the last general. You must try it. You have worked hard every time." Vice General Li put a few cabbage on the table and said: "Even Chu Shang Palace is here."
Kuamojiang’s planting technology is pretty good.”
"Really?" Emperor Mingwen was a little dumbfounded. He was very curious about how Chu Yunning turned the reckless, impulsive and belligerent Lieutenant General Li into the image of a simple old farmer.
Vice General Li rambled on for a few more words, and Emperor Mingwen listened patiently until Vice General Li expressed his thoughts and wanted to go back and continue farming after the war was over.
Emperor Mingwen's face gradually darkened: "Vice General Li, why are you so hopeless? There are so many soldiers behind you waiting for you to protect your family and country. How can you stick to farming?"
"Your Majesty, this is wrong. Food is the most important thing for the people. Without sufficient food reserves, the soldiers at the front will go hungry..." Vice General Li added, "This is what you taught the junior general."
Emperor Mingwen couldn't find the words to refute for a long time. His face was gloomy. He took a deep breath and looked at Lieutenant General Li's serious face, which didn't look like a joke at all. Emperor Mingwen suddenly regretted letting Lieutenant General Li go farming.
From then on, he got out of hand and had no intention of fighting.
Emperor Mingwen's eyes moved slightly: "As long as you can win a few beautiful battles, I will promise you."
"Really?" Vice General Li was a little excited.
"You have no joke."
Lieutenant General Li knelt on the ground: "In the future, the Emperor will not be stingy if the general is useful. The general can charge into the battle and fight to the death."
In order to farm the land, Emperor Mingwen sighed deeply and waved his hand impatiently: "Let's go down first."
Vice General Li nodded, and before leaving, he said to Emperor Mingwen: "Your Majesty, don't forget to eat Chinese cabbage. This is the general's wish."
After saying this, the curtain fell. Emperor Mingwen clutched his heart tightly and felt a little pain at the tip of his heart. Eunuch Mo quickly advised: "Your Majesty, Vice General Li is a stubborn man and doesn't know how to adapt. Why should you be angry? Just calm down quickly.
"
Emperor Mingwen picked up the tea and took a big sip. Before he could swallow it, the curtain was raised and Chu Yunning came in. Emperor Mingwen was so frightened that he quickly put down the tea in his hand and asked: "You came just in time.
What kind of ecstasy did you give Vice General Li to make him so addicted to farming?"
Chu Yunning looked innocent: "I only gave Vice General Li a piece of land and ignored him again."
She had no time to pay attention to Lieutenant General Li, and simply told him how to plant and control the temperature without giving any guidance once.
Eunuch Mo immediately repeated all what Deputy General Li had just said. Chu Yunning twitched the corner of his mouth. This Deputy General Li was really a piece of rotten wood and could not be carved. How could he say such things in front of Emperor Mingwen? This was not seeking death.
?.
Fortunately, Emperor Mingwen was wise and did not cause any trouble to Lieutenant General Li.
"Your Majesty, I'm wronged. I didn't even say a few words to Vice General Li. Who knows what kind of madness he has." Chu Yunning cried out.
Emperor Mingwen waved his hand: "That's all, don't mention this matter anymore. I will have a way to deal with him. What do you want to do with me?"
"I'm here to inquire about what's happening on the other side."
Out of curiosity, she wanted to know if Princess Yu'an would find any way to deal with Prince Yunlan after she returned.
Emperor Mingwen squinted at Eunuch Mo. After receiving the instruction, Eunuch Mo immediately said: "The thing is like this. After Princess Yu'an returned to the capital, she cried and complained to Emperor Yunlan, but she didn't mention Prince Yunlan at all.
, it was Prince Li who couldn't help mentioning the defeat at the border and Huilu's instigation of Prince Yunlan. Emperor Yunlan was furious when he heard this and sent another general to assist Prince Yunlan and recalled Huilu.
After returning to Beijing, I also granted marriage to Princess Yu'an and Prince Li, so I guess the marriage should be over."
Chu Yunning touched her chin. It was no surprise that the two of them got married. This was the best time to get along and develop feelings along the way.
When Huilu knew that Princess Yu'an had returned to Beijing, he was so angry that he said: "Your Highness, we must have been plotted against you. Nanduan can't defeat you, so we deliberately used destructive tricks to distract you. I am loyal, if not
With Weichen by your side, Weichen will worry about you every day."
He knew very well that Princess Yu'an hated him and would definitely die once he returned to the capital, so he could not go back no matter what.
Prince Yunlan angrily scolded Princess Yu'an: "It's all my fault that I was spoiled since I was a child. I don't know how good the world is. I deserve to be damned!"
Prince Yunlan was not prepared at all for Princess Yu'an's silent return to Yunlan, let alone whether Princess Yu'an would complain.
"Immediately send someone to write a letter to the queen mother. Be sure to tell her to be wary of Yu'an and don't let her ruin Gu's good deeds."
At present, only the Queen can check Princess Yu'an in the capital.
"Your Highness, that humble minister..." Hui Lu was uneasy and pretended to be sad and angry, saying that he could not leave Prince Yunlan.
Prince Yunlan frowned, he could not live without Hui Lu, but he did not dare to disobey his father's will. Hui Lu lowered his voice: "If His Highness has not received the letter from the capital, there is no need to obey the Emperor's will."
.”
After finishing his words, Prince Yunlan's eyes lit up: "The military advisor's words make sense."
So at Hui Lu's instigation, Prince Yunlan sent people to kill the person who sent the message, pretending that nothing happened.
Hui Lu quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he didn't have to go back to Beijing. He added, "Your Highness, it's the end of the year soon. Nan Duan Kingdom is farming and digging holes every day. They are not here to fight at all. If we pick a good time to seize the opportunity to attack,
Maybe there will be unexpected gains.”
Prince Yunlan clenched his fists tightly and said angrily: "We suffered a defeat in the last battle. The other three countries originally agreed to send troops together, but then they changed their minds. Not only did they refuse to send troops, they also refused to send troops.
If we cooperate, when will we be able to capture the southern end if this continues?"
If the other three countries had stayed united and attacked the south end with themselves, maybe the south end would have changed its dynasty by now.
"Your Highness, I heard that Prince Nancheng has a very powerful counselor. If we can join forces with Prince Nancheng, maybe we won't need the other two countries." Hui Lu said: "Prince Nancheng was seriously ill, and this is him.
The counselor saved the prince and turned him from an ordinary person into a prince, which shows that his methods are impressive."
Hearing what Hui Lu said, Prince Yunlan was also moved. He immediately prepared gifts and planned to visit the Nancheng Prince in person. It was said that he had been raised outside since he was a child and had only been found in recent months.
In the evening, Prince Yunlan finally met the Prince of Nancheng, a man with a temperament as gentle as jade and a good-looking face. There was also a graceful lady sitting next to him. His face was covered and his appearance could not be seen clearly, but his almond eyes alone
It can be concluded that she is a peerless beauty.
"Who is this?" Prince Yunlan stared straight at Shen Bi.
Shen Bi frowned. She really didn't like the naked look in her eyes. She lowered her gaze slightly and averted the other person's gaze. Perhaps she noticed Prince Yunlan's fiery gaze. Prince Nancheng turned sideways to block it. The two of them looked at each other.
relatively.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is here to prepare for the attack on the southern end?"
After suffering defeats several times in a row and being treated badly by others, the Prince of Nancheng looked down on the idiot prince in front of him.
Prince Yunlan was forced to look away and curled his lips: "Yes, South End is not our opponent at all. Taking it in one fell swoop is not a problem. Is Prince Nancheng sincere enough to discuss it together?"
Prince Nancheng smiled and said: "The other two countries are still waiting and watching. It is not good for us to send troops rashly. If someone attacks the rear, it will not be cost-effective."
