Chapter 123 The sick prince is pampered on his bed 37
Probably because he was too deeply affected by the dream, Sui Yunjing's work became more and more confusing.
He reprimanded Suiheng in front of everyone, accusing him of not looking like a Daxia person and trying to make others more prestige.
But he didn't listen to Sui Lin's opinion. He just expressed his approval and then said that if Nanzhao is not difficult, he can attack it.
He said that if Nanzhao really wanted to fight, he would personally fight the Nanzhao people and fight them back.
There was even a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Hundreds of people in the main hall were all stunned, not even thinking of words of comfort.
After all, everyone knew that Sui Yunjing had never been on the battlefield.
As I get older, I start to think about things one by one, and I don’t know what stimulates me.
Sui Heng originally felt ashamed because of Sui Yunjing's reprimand. Hearing these words, he couldn't care less about his shame. He lost his composure and asked directly: "Father, our ancestors and Nanzhao have concluded a hundred-year armistice treaty. You are showing contempt for your ancestors.”
Sui Yunjing was so angry again that he threw down the jade seal in his hand.
This treacherous son probably thought that he was in trouble for a long time, and wanted to confront him whenever he could. He wanted to see that the person who poisoned him in the dream was probably this treacherous son.
This time Suiheng learned to be smart and moved aside.
As his mind was spinning, he suddenly knelt down and said, "Father, please forgive me. I made a mistake. It's just that my father is in good health and needs more rest."
Just now, he had misunderstood. If the old immortal wanted to go, let him go. If he died on the battlefield, it would save him the trouble.
But how to send Suilin there was his biggest headache.
Sui Yunjing couldn't take a deep breath. Hearing what Suiheng said, the anger that was still held in his heart was not easy to break out.
He stared at Sui Heng with sinister eyes, and the others finally reacted.
But seeing how capable Sui Yunjing was of Sui Heng, they didn't dare to persuade him any more.
The minister of Dali Temple was silently frightened and determined to find out the fire in the post house as soon as possible to prevent Sui Yunjing from running into the battlefield without any force.
Sui Lin was also a little surprised by Sui Yunjing's decision. He was not a roundworm in Sui Yunjing's belly. Naturally, he didn't know how he, who always wanted stability, could make such a decision.
At this time, it seemed that it was more appropriate for Fu Mingchen to ask.
Before leaving the Jinluan Palace, Sui Lin glanced at Fu Mingchen before turning and leaving.
An hour later, Fu Mingchen came to his house as promised.
Sui Lin raised his eyes: "How?"
Fu Mingchen's expression was solemn, and Si Lin's heart trembled when he saw it.
"Things are bad?"
Fu Mingchen shook his head: "There's something wrong with him. He's a little... too excited."
He thought for a while before he came up with such a suitable expression.
excited?
Sui Yunjing had been lying in bed for more than twenty days after a slight wind chill. When he woke up, he was in better condition than before.
Sui Lin thought for a long time. He could not confirm what kind of poison Suiheng used on Sui Yunjing, but based on the current situation, it seemed a bit like contraband in the modern plane.
Xiao Hei is not yet omnipotent enough to detect drugs, but based on the analysis of Sui Yunjing's situation, this conclusion is probably close to ten.
"Did he say why he wanted to conquer it himself?" Sui Lin asked again.
"He didn't say it explicitly, but the implication was that he felt that his whole life had been too mediocre, and now, he wanted to leave something worthy of praise for future generations before he died."
Something worthy of praise?
Sui Lin just felt like laughing. At this time, he was still thinking only about himself.
If Nanzhao really came, it would be the people who would suffer in the end.
At present, it seems that this battle is inevitable.
This is true.
Only five days had passed since the fire in the post house, and news of war came from the southern border.
The reason why Nanzhao started the war was Luo Sheng's death.
General Yu led his men to resist desperately, but the Nanzhao people poisoned the well water of the Daxia army, poisoning thousands of soldiers.
Sui Yunjing was extremely angry. He was indeed an uncivilized barbarian who resorted to such despicable methods.
The government and the public were in an uproar. It was impossible for the news of the post house to be spread back to Nanzhao so quickly. Facts have proved that Nanzhao is really ambitious. I am afraid that Luosheng's incident was planned by themselves.
Although everyone still doesn't know the news that Luo Sheng is not dead, they have guessed part of the truth.
As a result, everyone found the words Shen Hanzhang and Suiheng said in court a few days ago to be thought-provoking.
When Suiheng learned the news, he was discussing future plans with Shen Hanzhang. After hearing the news, he was so angry that he smashed another tea set.
These people are all sick, and those cowards dare not say anything. He just made some reasonable suggestions and did not harm anyone's interests.
But he didn't know that the Prime Minister had long been suspicious of him. When someone didn't like him, everything he did would be displeasing to him.
The war in the southern border was urgent and it concerned him. Sui Yunjing finally agreed to the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate funds to transport grain and grass to the southern border.
It's a pity that all preparations in Beijing were completed, but Sui Yunjing fell down again for unknown reasons.
He was naturally very unwilling to do so. It was clear that he had regained the high-spirited feeling of his youth a few days ago, but now he was knocked back to his original form.
Being sick twice in succession made everyone feel like a roller coaster, and they were always on tenterhooks.
The war was tight, and it was impossible to slow down the progress of others just because Sui Yunjing was alone.
The office location could only be changed to Sui Yunjing's bedroom.
This time Suiheng took the initiative again and offered to let Fu Mingchen go to the battlefield instead of Sui Yunjing to drive away the Nanzhao people.
Fu Mingchen grew up in the North and had great military exploits. He was the perfect candidate to go.
Most people in the court were afraid of Fu Mingchen and agreed to Suiheng's proposal.
Sui Yunjing was naturally unwilling to let Fu Mingchen take risks, but he couldn't resist Fu Mingchen's offer of help.
But he knew that this was a good channel to gain merit, so after thinking for a while, he agreed to Fu Mingchen's request.
And just after Fu Mingchen, Sui Lin also took the initiative to ask for help again, wanting to go to the southern border to serve Daxia.
With two serious worries eliminated at once, Suiheng was in disbelief at first, and then went crazy with joy.
Now, no one in the capital can be his opponent.
Sui Yunjing was lying on the bed and didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't agree immediately.
To be honest, this child doesn't know when he started not being able to understand.
Even though his face still showed flinching from time to time, Sui Yunjing always felt that he was not as harmless as he seemed.
After the important matters were taken care of and everyone left, he left Sui Lin alone again and asked him his purpose.
Sui Ling faced embarrassment and said respectfully: "My son is incompetent. During these hours at the Ministry of Household Affairs, I was unable to find out whether the deduction of military pay was true. Therefore, I want to go to the southern border to have a look in person."
Sui Yunjing didn't believe what he said, but he just said coldly: "You can't find out in this comfortable place in Beijing, but you can find out in the military camp?"
Sui Lin was not afraid of him at all: "The ancients once said that if you read people's feelings and know how thick the paper is, you will feel that the mountains are flat when you walk through the world. If you don't see it with your own eyes, I will feel uneasy."
Sui Yunjing snorted heavily: "If you want to go, I can still stop you. It just so happens that I haven't seen your grandfather for so many years. I'm afraid I miss you very much."
After saying that, he fell back on the bed with a heavy breath.
There was too much gloom in his eyes, which had somewhat affected his ability to see the person in front of him clearly.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that after he agreed, his son seemed to smile.
But when he turned his head, he only saw the sorrow and cowardice on his face.
Forget it, he probably misunderstood, what kind of earth-shattering things could a child raised by Liu Qingli do?
When they learned that Sui Lin and Fu Mingchen were leaving at the same time, some people were happy and some were sad.
Naturally, Suiheng and Shen Hanzhang were the ones who were happy.
Shen Qingman was a little regretful. She originally wanted to try the poison on Zainilin, but unfortunately she never found the opportunity. But now that she was going to the battlefield, it saved her trouble.
The ones who are worried are naturally the people headed by the Prime Minister.
Today, things are probably going to change.
The Minister of Rites came to persuade him several times, but Sui Lin calmly changed his mind to other topics.
As for An Ruojin and Zhuang Zhijian, they also met with him in private. They did not dissuade him, but just told him to be more careful.
And Zhao Hongxuan specially wrote a letter back. In addition to urging him to come back alive, he also brought good news.
It took him several months to completely control the situation in Tongzhou. By next month, he could start building embankments again.
The lives of the people in Tongzhou have become much better as a result.
In the letter, Zhao Hongxuan also specifically thanked Sui Lin. If Sui Lin had not sent people to Tongzhou to help, he would not have put Tongzhou on the right track so quickly.
Sui Lin was a little surprised. After thinking about it carefully, he thought it was probably the person sent by Fu Mingchen.
Even though his name was on his name, he didn't tell him the matter.
Speaking of this, Sui Lin suddenly wanted to see Fu Mingchen.
But on the eve of leaving Beijing, Fu Mingchen was also making preparations before leaving Beijing and couldn't get away.
When night fell and Suilin had rested, he suddenly heard another noise by the window.
Sui Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he sat upright as he listened quietly to the unusually obvious sound in the middle of the night.
"A Lin." Fu Mingchen stood in front of the bed, "I knew you weren't sleeping."
Sui Lin smiled: "What will you do if I fall asleep?"
Fu Mingchen thought about this question seriously: "Then I will sleep with you."
Sui Lin raised his eyebrows and patted the empty seat next to him: "Then let's go together?"
Fu Mingchen hesitated for a moment, then took off his coat and lay down in a familiar manner.
They were going on a trip tomorrow. The two of them lay together without saying anything or doing anything. They just cuddled up and fell asleep.
When he got up the next day, Fu Mingchen had already left, and the bed beside him had lost its warmth.
It seems that Fu Mingchen has been away for some time.
What an enviable waking up skill.
After riding a horse for some distance, Sui Lin looked back at the capital city in the distance. When he thought of the purpose of his trip, he finally had a real feeling that everything was about to end.
But this time, he still had a lot to do.
Ying Jue had been trapped in the capital by Sui Yunjing for a long time, and he could no longer stand the idle days. This time he finally took the chance and followed Sui Lin and Fu Mingchen back to the south.
It was a long distance from the capital to the southern border. It took a group of people riding horses a month to reach the southern end of Shuzhong.
During this period, when they passed through Shuzhong, they also met Shen Shuhong, whom they had not seen for a long time.
After several months of training, Shen Shuhong's whole personality has changed drastically.
If there was a bit of bookishness in the past, now only shrewd calculations remain.
After meeting Suilin, he received the two of them politely, neither neglecting them nor talking too much about their past friendship.
Knowing that Sui Lin and Fu Mingchen were going to the south to rush for reinforcements, he did not leave them alone. He just said something meaningful before Sui Lin left.
"Your Highness, Sichuan is rich. If you return in triumph, I will give you a good reception."
Shuzhong is indeed rich, but it has little to do with Shen Shuhong.
Although he had Shen Hanzhang as his backer, he had only been in office for a few months, and even Shen Hanzhang did not dare to blatantly let him sit in too high a position.
Therefore, Shen Shuhong’s words are worth pondering.
Did he imply that Suilin had taken bribes from the governor of Shu?
All this can only be discussed after the incident in the southern border calms down.
After leaving Shuzhong, it took another five days to arrive at the southern military camp outside Zhaocheng.
This is Daxia's last line of defense. When everyone arrived, the few people left in the military camp were patrolling around.
The others are all further ahead in Cangcheng, which is the frontline of the war.
When the guards saw the huge team, they were surprised at first, and then realized that they were reinforcements, and joy suddenly filled their faces.
It was said to be reinforcements, but less than a thousand people came from Beijing.
The real reinforcements were the troops dispatched from Jinling, which joined the battlefield long before they set off at the end of the year.
Now there has been a stalemate with Nanzhao for a month.
The people from the capital had been traveling on the road for more than a month. They could only rest for one night and set off directly to Cangcheng the next day.
When he saw the gate of Cangcheng from a distance, Sui Lin's heart suddenly beat rapidly, as if the original owner knew that he wanted to see his relatives, which made Sui Lin also excited.
The garrison on the city wall saw a large number of people coming towards Cangcheng. After seeing clearly that they were friendly troops, they took the initiative to open the city gate and welcome them in.
The war is suspended today, everyone in Cangcheng is preparing for war, and there is no manpower available to welcome the young master coming from the capital.
Fortunately, neither Sui Lin nor Fu Mingchen were spoiled people. After settling the group brought by Jingzhong, they and Ying Jue took the initiative to go to the coach's annex.
Walking outside the courtyard, the two heard the fierce noise inside.
Sui Lin and Fu Mingchen looked at each other and quickened their pace. As soon as they reached the door, the door of the other courtyard was suddenly opened. The person inside didn't use any strength and bumped into Ying Jue.
"You!" The people inside were in pain, and the curses turned into doubts before they could even leave their mouths, "Should I be punished?"
Ying Jue said "Ah": "Where is the general?"
"Inside, the man pointed behind him and left without saying anything."
Immediately afterwards, a rather gentle voice came from the courtyard: "General Ying?"
"Military advisor." Ying Jue responded, and Xian Suilin and Fu Mingchen walked in.
Sui Lin and Fu Mingchen also followed, and within two steps, they happened to bump into the middle-aged man who was about to come out.
The man looked to be in his thirties, his hair was neatly combed, and he came up to him with a smile: "General Ying is back."
After saying that, he looked at the two people behind Ying Jue: "Who are these two?"
His eyes widened: "Lin'er?"
