Chapter 554: Eight Years of Jianxing
Yang Qing and Xia Houyue had been married for two years, but due to the tense war, they spent less time together and separated more. It was not until the past few months that they spent more time together in Ningding, and therefore they finally successfully solved the issue of heirs.
After traveling through time and being a human being in two lifetimes, Yang Qing had a child of his own for the first time. You can imagine the joy in his heart. He was in extreme excitement for several days.
In fact, the same is true for Xia Houyue herself. As a wife and a woman, she had long wanted to give birth to a child for Yang Qing, but there was no movement in her stomach for two years after getting married. You can imagine the pressure in her heart.
Now she is fine, her wish has finally come true, and there will no longer be any gossip about her in Chengdu.
"God bless, the first child can be a boy, so that I, Xia Houyue, can pass on the incense to the Yang family and fulfill my wife's responsibility." Xia Houyue stood in front of the window, clasped her hands, and silently prayed to the sky.
Yang Qing, who was sitting in the house warming himself by the fire and drinking tea, didn't know what Xia Houyue was thinking, but when he saw his wife standing by the window for a long time, he was afraid that she would catch cold from the wind, so he hurriedly walked over to close the window and held her hand.
He walked to the brazier and sat down: "The weather is getting colder and colder. Don't blow the wind for a long time, otherwise it will be bad if you catch the wind and cold."
"Don't worry, husband, I can take care of myself." Xia Houyue leaned on Yang Qing's shoulder and said: "I will return to Chengdu after the New Year. I really don't want to leave so early."
"I don't want to be separated from Yue'er, but there is nothing I can do about it. There may be a war next year. Yongzhou is located on the front line and is a very dangerous place. You are pregnant now. I can't worry about staying here. I'd better go back to Chengdu.
Production is safer. When the Han Dynasty revives and the world is at peace, you and I will have plenty of time to reunite." Yang Qing said.
Xia Houyue understood this truth, and just now she was just complaining in front of her husband, because she smiled and said: "In previous years, I always looked forward to the New Year coming soon, but this year, I hope that time can pass slower. This year, this year...
I don’t even want to think about it anymore.”
"Haha, we still have to celebrate the New Year, and not only do we have to celebrate it, this year we have to celebrate it more lively and joyfully than in previous years. After all, our family is about to have a new kid." Yang Qing gently touched Xia Houyue's belly, feeling the life.
's rhythm.
Xia Houyue looked shy, feeling extremely happy at this moment, and said softly: "Husband, I really hope that time can freeze at this moment forever."
"Yue'er, if our love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night!" Yang Qing hugged Xia Houyue tightly in his arms, reluctant to let go for a moment.
Time kept passing by, and soon it was the eighth year of Jianxing. Soon after the beginning of spring, Yang Qing sent someone to send Xia Houyue, who was five months pregnant, back to the middle of Shu. With the recovery of the national power of Han and Wei, the atmosphere at the border changed
The situation has become increasingly tense, small-scale conflicts and killings have occurred frequently, and the atmosphere of war has begun to emit.
At this critical moment, Yang Qing cannot focus on the love between his children, he must concentrate on dealing with the upcoming war.
Of course, the most important thing at this time is spring plowing. The season waits for no one. Even if there is a war this year, the seeds must be sown into the ground first, otherwise there will be no food. No matter how elite the sergeant is, he will not be able to lift a knife.
It is also in vain.
On this day, Yang Qing was listening to Yang Xi, Jiang Yin and others' report on spring plowing. Suddenly, he heard the bodyguard guarding outside the public house standing at the door and saying: "Your Majesty, Governor Wu has something to see you."
"Tell him to come in."
"promise."
After a while, Wu Que walked into the public house with quick steps. He looked around and saw that everyone in the room was his own people, so he said directly: "Your Majesty, there is news from Luoyang that the false emperor Cao Rui has been promoted to hussar." General Sima Yi was appointed as the general, and also made the governor, fake Huang Yue. This time Sima Yi went to Beijing to accept the reward and stayed for more than half a month. During this period, he not only went in and out of the palace several times, but also met frequently with Cao Zhen in private. The two of them The connection is very close.
In addition, Gongsun Yuan, the governor of Liaodong, was promoted this time along with Sima Yi, and he was named a chariot and cavalry general by the puppet emperor."
"Your Majesty, Cao Rui summoned Sima Yi to the capital to give a reward and to be a secret trader. It is obvious that he has a very big intention. It is very likely that he came for our Han Dynasty. It is impossible to say that the pretended emperor, monarch and ministers are planning to use troops against our Han Dynasty." Yang Xi said. .
Jiang Yin agreed: "Wen Ran is right." He turned sideways, raised his hands and said to Yang Qing: "Your Majesty, Sima Yi was ordered to guard Wancheng, and the commander-in-chief, Jing, is responsible for the military affairs of the two states of Henan. He has no less than 100,000 elite soldiers. If If Cao Wei really invades in a large scale, the Wei army in Jingzhou must be one of them. The puppet emperor conferred the title of Sima Yi at this time, which is probably to prepare for war."
"Well, that makes sense. However, the actions of Cao Rui and others are also expected. We don't need to mess up our position. We can just deal with it according to the established strategy.
However, Shu Qi, you still need to strengthen contact with Youwei Mansion, and you must find out as much as possible about the strength of the Wei army, the mobilization of grain and grass, etc.," Yang Qing said.
Wu Que bowed and responded: "No."
"By the way, you should also pay more attention to the Gongsun family in Liaodong. This person has both a head and a rat. He is definitely not a loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty. Sooner or later, he will cause trouble for Cao Wei in the northeast. Who knows, we big men will use it one day in the future. This person." Yang Qing said again.
Gongsun Yuan was the grandson of Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong, and the son of Gongsun Kang, the general of the left. At the end of the Later Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Gongsun Du took advantage of the situation and rose up to separatize Liaodong. It has been passed down to Gongsun Yuan for three generations, nearly fifty years.
Because the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the former Yuan family and the current Cao Wei have been unable to take action to solve the problem of the Gongsun family's separatism. They allowed the other party to dominate Liaodong and do their own thing. Over the years, the Gongsun family and the Central Plains regime have only maintained A relationship of submissiveness on the surface.
Wu Que raised his hand and said yes, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, according to the information we have now, this Gongsun Yuan is not a worry-free master. Ever since he forced his uncle Gongsun Gong to be the governor, he has changed from his previous surrender. In response to the behavior of the Wei thieves, they began to secretly communicate with Soochow, and I heard that the two sides have sent two batches of envoys to each other."
After Yang Qing heard these words, he immediately thought of Sun Quan's wise behavior in history when he sent people to travel to Liaodong to confer Gongsun Yuan as King of Yan, but he was deceived and lost both men and money. He didn't expect that in this world that had been disturbed by his butterfly. In this world where the plot has changed drastically, Sun Quan still hooked up with Gongsun Yuan. It seems that the inertia of history is really great.
"Liaodong is too far away from us and is currently beyond our reach. Since Sun Quan has an idea, let him do it first. We will pay close attention to it."
Wu Que cupped his fists and accepted the order: "No." After a pause, he said with a wry smile: "It's just your envoy, after all, Liaodong is thousands of miles away, and with the few men and horses under Que's command, I'm afraid it's still a little bit out of reach.
Do you think we should ask the government to allocate more money to us this year?"
"Haha, you have to discuss this with Mr. Ji Zuogong." Yang Qing said with a smile.
Jiang Yin was responsible for governing the country. In addition to being in charge of all Cao Cao's documents, Yang Qing also asked him to be in charge of Yongzhou's money and food expenses. Wu Que's application for funds naturally had to go through his hands.
Wu Que then turned his gaze to Jiang Yin: "Mr. Ji Zuogong, what do you think?"
"Careful work as a spy is of great benefit to the military and state affairs, so we must support it. Forget it, you can draft a plan in the next two days and let me take a look at it first."
Wu Que said happily: "Then I will thank Duke Ji here in advance."
"Your Majesty, the state government has a lot of expenses since the beginning of the new year, and now there is an extra expense. I am afraid that I will have to make careful calculations in advance before the end of the year." Jiang Yin said with a bitter smile.
Yang Qing smiled slightly: "Who in the government doesn't admire Mr. Gong's financial management ability? Last year, our Yongzhou ranked among the best. Qing believes that we can do the same this year."
