Chapter 3 The rain is coming and the wind is filling the building

Autumn in the south of the Yangtze River always comes quietly, without realizing it, without obvious transitions or sharp turns, not as obvious as the north with distinct seasons.

It is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, and autumn is no exception. The continuous autumn rain is drizzling, and the entire Jinling City is shrouded in a hazy mist and rain.

On the morning court that day, Emperor Min Shengxuan sat on the dragon throne with expressionless expression on his face. The eunuch beside him sang and shouted on a routine basis: "If you have something to say, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do!"

"I have something to say, this year's rain is abundant, and all localities report that the grain harvest is good and it is a good harvest year."

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Accepted!"

"Your Majesty, yesterday I received a memorial from the Gumo City Commander. Zhou Duwei's letter said that this year, Yunfan Kingdom has almost no harvest, and a small number of refugees have come to our country to grab food and money."

"Your Majesty, this trend will become worse and worse. If you do not suppress it, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Send troops. Otherwise, I'm afraid that like the time a few years ago, the refugees first came to rob them, but later the officers and soldiers and the refugees came to commit crimes, kill our people, and seize our city..."

"My minister, please agree!"

The emperor, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, yawned indecently, glanced at the minister chattering below, and felt irritable inside.

"Okay! I know, I will send an order to Zhou Duwei and tell him to guard Gumo City for me!"

"Okay, okay! You have nothing else to do to retreat!" After saying that, Min Shengxuan stood up and left the dragon throne, striding behind the screen.

"Retreat! Your Majesty is here!" The eunuch Gao Bo, beside him, shouted, and then trotted and left in pursuit of Min Shengxuan.

Left a group of ministers who looked at each other in disguise.

"General Duan, what should you do when you see this? I always feel uneasy. The barbarians in Yunfan Kingdom are probably becoming more and more presumptuous." Yang Yukun, the minister of Dali Temple, frowned and looked worried.

"There is no way now. The emperor said this. We can't resist the order and send troops. We can only write to the Duwei Zhou to tell him to pay attention to everything and be careful of Yunfan Kingdom, otherwise it will hurt my people in Dayao Kingdom." Duan Yun also felt helpless and was a little confused about the emperor's thoughts.

The two of them muttered a few words and then they parted.

Duan Yun, who returned to the mansion, was very worried, but history would repeat itself. At that time, the old emperor was still there. Yunfan Kingdom was located in the north, with barren land, harsh climate, and extremely low grain output.

Yunfan's national customs were fierce. That year was also the early winter season. A small number of refugees from enemy countries began to flee into the territory of Dayao Country. The people kindly sent clothes and food to the refugees. The government also served porridge at the gate of the city. Later, it developed into a refugee flow. A large number of refugees poured in in Gumo City and surrounding villages.

Local people and a large number of refugees have caused food shortage. Refugees have been unable to eat enough for a long time and snatch each other. Fighting and fighting happens from time to time.

The refugee gate was dissatisfied with the current situation and began to burn, kill, rob, and loot in an organized manner! All evil was done! The soldiers guarding the city suppressed several times ineffectively. It was not until the situation developed until the city was occupied and the people were killed, and the court woke up.

If you are not of my race, your heart will be different!

The prince at that time, the current Emperor Shengxuan, volunteered to lead the troops to go, and saw that around Gumo City, there were broken walls and broken bodies everywhere, which was terrible.

What is the difference between this and bringing a wolf into the house?

Duan Yun sighed when he thought of this. The emperor volunteered at that time, but now he is indifferent. He only feels that your heart is unpredictable! He only hopes that Zhou Liang and Zhou Duwei can firmly guard Gumo City so as not to suffer from unintentional disasters again.

Ye Xun, who was unwilling to give up, was also in a state of ease when he returned home. He was worried about the soldiers and the people who were guarding the city. After thinking for a moment, he rushed to the palace again and went outside the imperial study to ask for the emperor.

Unexpectedly, I didn't even see the emperor's face. When the heavy palace gate opened, I could only hear the sound of silk and bamboo coming from afar, sometimes mixed with a few soft laughter.

Gao Bo, the chief executive who often accompanied the emperor, came from afar and stood three feet away from Ye Xun.

The chief executive Gao Bo narrowed his pair of gloomy triangular eyes and bowed, "Please return with Shangshu Ye! The emperor is busy with official duties, so let's discuss it tomorrow morning!"

"Don't ask my father-in-law to report it again! I really have important things to report to the emperor!" Ye Xun said with a frown.

Gao Bo snorted and laughed, and took a step back slightly: "Shangshu Ye really respects the miscellaneous family! You came for the matter of refugees in Gumo City? You also know our emperor's temper. What Your Majesty has decided is not so easy to change!"

After saying that, he did not give Ye Xun a chance to interrupt, and said again: "Please please return! The emperor has ordered the old slave to see you, no one who comes to ask for it will be seen. The family has been delayed for a long time after saying so much to you. I am afraid that your Majesty will lose his temper in a while, and the family should go back!" As he said that, Fo Chen, who was standing beside his arms, turned around and walked into the hall.

With a "Ga!", the hall door closed again.

Looking at the heavy hall gate closing, all the sounds were blocked by the heavy hall gate, Ye Xun suddenly felt sad. For himself, for the people of Gumo City, and for the people of the world!

The next few days of the morning court were fighting openly and secretly. A group of military generals led by General Duan Yun wanted to send troops, while a group of civil officials led by Prime Minister Li Hongyuan said that it was unnecessary to be calm.

The ministers who mentioned Gumo City were scolded by the emperor. The most serious one was Yang Yukun, the minister of Dali Temple, who was punished to stand outside the main hall for being fiercely spoken in the court.

The fifth-rank official was punished to stand and was outside the main hall. This was something that had never happened since the founding of the Dayao Kingdom for more than 100 years!

For a time, the civil and military officials in the court were talking about it. The emperor's move was really a warning to the monkey.

From the hour of Hai, the gate of the general's mansion was constantly knocked. The Minister of War Ye Xun, Minister of Rites Zhang Siyuan, Minister of Dali Temple Yang Yukun, Minister of War Zhao He, Minister of Rites Liang Liyan and others visited one after another.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

There was only one reason. Everyone heard that at dusk, they arrived at Gumo City, which was in the capital for help, and rushed to the palace gate, but were rejected. They all came to the general's mansion to discuss countermeasures.

The thing that everyone was most worried about was still happening. Many refugees were disguised by officers and soldiers. Yunfan Kingdom also assembled 80,000 troops on the border, and its purpose was self-evident.

The hour of Yin was over, and a group of people who had discussed all night had breakfast at the general's house and went out to go to the morning court.

Several people rushed outside the Tai Chi Hall early, and a moment later, the ministers arrived one after another, and the 351 team were talking in a low voice.

At the second quarter of Mao, the bell and drum tower rang. The ministers immediately lined up, sorted out their clothes, held court scepters, opened the hall door, and all the ministers entered one after another.

"The emperor is here!" The eunuch Gao Bo's voice sounded high in the hall.

"Long live Father, long live, long live!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Princes, please be calm! All my beloveds are not respected!" The emperor wearing a crown glanced at Gao Bo standing beside him.

I heard Gao Bo yin and yang singing and shouting: "If you have something to start, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do!"

The few people who had been discussing for a night last night gave each other a look, and saw Zhao He, the Minister of War, stepping out first.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Gao Bo looked up slightly and looked at the emperor. When he saw the emperor nodding, he shouted "Authentication!"

"Your Majesty, I ask for an order to send troops to Yunfan Country immediately! Yesterday, the eight hundred miles sent by Zhou Duwei overnight to speed up. The letter said that many refugees pouring into our country were disguised by the enemy's officers and soldiers. These officers and soldiers came to our country to spy on military information, and 80,000 troops were gathered on the border, and the situation was very critical!"

"Your Majesty, I will discuss it!" Liang Liyan, the Minister of Rites, stood up and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead my troops to drive the wolf's ambition Yunfan Kingdom out of my Dayao territory!" Duan Yun couldn't help but stand up and said.

"Your Majesty, I will discuss it!" Some ministers stood up one after another.

"Please give an order to your father! Avoid the father's people from the unintentional disaster again!" The third prince Min Baiyan clasped his fists and said while bowing.

Min Shengxuan, who was sitting on the dragon throne, glanced at the ministers in the hall, and then said in a deep voice: "Transfer to my oral order. General Duan Yun led 50,000 elite troops to Gumo City immediately. The third prince Min Baiyan was the third-rank assistant, and Duan Hengyi was the fourth-rank assistant to fight. Go and practice with you, organize and set off! No mistakes are allowed!"

In the general's mansion, Ren Mengyao learned that Duan Hengyi was going to go to war with his father, and tears fell like beads with broken threads. While crying, he was cleaning up the affairs of the father and son.

"Heng'er, be careful in everything! Remember not to be reckless and reckless in your actions, and obey your father!" Ren Mengyao held Duan Hengyi's hand and kept reminding him.

"Mom, don't worry! My child remembers it! You have to take care of yourself! I'm leaving now and go to Shangshu Mansion to talk to Wan'er." Duan Hengyi said and hugged Ren Mengyao.

My son was walking for thousands of miles away and the mother was worried, let alone this battlefield without eyes. Ren Mengyao thought about Duan Yun's scars and tears couldn't stop flowing down.

Duan Hengyi, who was coming out of the mansion and heading straight for the Shangshu Mansion, did not want to meet Ye Wanru who came to the General's Mansion on the way. Her little face that always smiled was gone, and she was full of worries.

"Brother Hengyi, you are going to fight, are you?" Ye Wanru raised her head slightly and asked uncertainly.

"Yes, Wan'er, listen to what your father said! I wanted to go to the mansion to tell you in person, but I didn't expect to meet you here. I'm really lucky to meet you!" Duan Hengyi said with a pretentious look on his face.

"Brother Hengyi, when is it now? You still have the heart to joke!" As he said that, tears surged in Ye Wanru's eyes, and they kept spinning in her eyes.

"Hey, Wan'er, don't cry anymore! You know, since I was a child, I have been crying the most. My mother had already cried at home just now, and she almost had to flood the general's mansion!" Duan Hengyi's hand gently stroked Ye Wanru's hair.

"Well, promise you! I won't cry, you must promise me, except for the scars on your back that were pecked by a hawk when you were seven years old, you can't add any new injuries! Don't think about hiding me, I will ask Brother Baiya!" Ye Wanru was snatched by Duan Hengyi and burst into tears to make a smile, but she couldn't hide the worries in her eyes.

"Wan'er, I have to leave. My father went to the barracks of Beijing to order troops. I have to rush over now, otherwise I won't be able to keep up with the team! Don't worry! I'm not hurt, you are not allowed to cry, can you hear it?" Duan Hengyi felt uncomfortable when he saw Ye Wanru holding back tears.
