Chapter 232 Waiting for your victory to marry a beautiful woman!
On the other side, Zhu Youde, who had left Shang Fang Mansion, let go of Li Renjie's support and woke up instantly.
Li Renjie was stunned. He was still drunk just now. Why did your Majesty suddenly wake up?
Zhu Youde turned around and glanced at Shang Fang's Mansion, with a smile on his lips.
Just now while drinking, I learned that although the Western Regions annexed the Yueshi, they did not completely rule them, but simply suppressed them with military force. The Yuezhi people were extremely disgusted by the brutal rule of the Western Regions.
There are many people like Anima who fled to Jinling City or other places in Daliang.
And they are all Yuezhi's petty officials or military officers. If this group of people can be subdued, they will also be a force that cannot be underestimated.
If we can penetrate into the Yuezhi hinterland, there will definitely be a fire in the backyard of the Western Regions...
"Send someone to keep an eye on Anima..."
…………………………………………
Jinling Tower.
The city defense camp generals screened out suspicious people from the city entry register.
"Your Majesty, among the people who have come to Jinling City from all over the past seven days, there are seven caravans from China that do not frequently travel. There are three caravans each from Liguo, Jingguo, and the Western Region."
This screening mainly inspects caravans that do not frequently travel between domestic and foreign countries, and cooperates with surrounding cities for verification.
If you enter Jinling City from China, you will definitely leave records in the surrounding cities. If you do not enter Jinling City, it means you are extremely suspicious.
If you enter the capital from outside the territory, there will be customs clearance documents and seals along the way.
But this situation was not found, which means that the thieves must have entered Jinling City!
Or someone in Beijing should provide them with information...
Zhu Youde carefully checked the caravan information. Although the Liguo and Jingguo caravans did not come and go frequently, they were regular trade activities.
"Focus on the investigation of the seven domestic caravans and the three caravans from the Western Regions, especially the Western Regions, pay special attention!"
With Anima's reminder, the Western Region caravan becomes extremely suspicious.
"Investigate secretly, don't try to alert others!"
He asked Xichang and Dongchang to do this, and the two organizations in Daliang that were best at investigating information took action at the same time.
It was already evening when he returned to the palace, and Wang Po entered the palace to ask for an audience.
We will go on an expedition tomorrow, and I must have come here tonight to say goodbye.
"Your Majesty, minister..." Wang Po was about to salute when he was helped up by Zhu Youde: "Although you and I are monarchs and ministers, we are brothers. Why should we be so secretive in private?!"
He pulled Wang Po to sit cross-legged on the opposite side of the desk, and added some wine: "You and I, brothers, haven't had a drink for a long time, so we'll just get drunk today! It's a good practice for you!"
"It's just a pity that my Yangxin Hall is not big enough to entertain the entire army. After leading the army back in victory, I will toast you all at Jinling Square!"
Wang Po was no longer reserved and clinked glasses cheerfully.
After drinking several bottles of wine, Zhu Youde did not feel drunk at all. Most of the drinks in this generation are impure. Although they are delicious, the alcohol content is not high. Even he can drink several bottles, let alone a military man like Wang Po.
No wonder history books record that the vast number of ancient people had a lot to do with alcohol.
"My dear, I remember when you were still a bodyguard, I promoted you to be the captain of the bodyguard, and then promoted you to general step by step. You did not disappoint me. Now you are a great general of the Liang Dynasty. Even I have to look up to you.
…”
Even if the wine is impure, drinking too much will make your mind unclear. At this time, Zhu Youde felt his feet floating, hugged Wang Po and started to talk about the past.
"I still remember that Zhang Yuanhai controlled the court, and I boiled the frog in a little warm water before eliminating Zhang Dang. Who would have thought that after Zhang Dang, Yan King Zhudi would rebel, but he was my uncle and the late emperor's sibling, and even he would rebel!"
"There is also Cining in the harem. The late emperor's women are also rebelling. Do you want to recreate the Valkyrie?!"
"Now the court is calm and the country is stable. However, the enemy from the north is coming. I ask the general to break it! Guard the north for me and guard the country's gate..."
Wang Po held a pot of wine and took a long sip, pointed to the north, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as I, Wang Po, are here, the Huns from the Western Regions will definitely return home. They are just defeated generals, so why do they dare to be so arrogant?"
"I think back on that year, when I led 50,000 elites to defeat the Huns' 100,000 troops, and killed Yuchi Jingde so much that he abandoned his chariot and fled. This battle is no different!"
"..."
The two of them drank until they ran out of wine, then they sat at each other and boasted, showing no signs of being a monarch or a minister.
Everyone thinks that the emperor is the most decent and the most disciplined. In fact, the emperor may also be drunk.
In the eyes of outsiders, Wang Po was majestic and distinguished in battle, but at this moment, he was just intoxicating in the Yangxin Hall.
"Wang Po, you have to be careful with the sabers from the Western Regions. Today I heard from a Yuezhi man that the newly invented sabers from the Western Regions are specially designed to break shields. You have to be careful."
"I will find a way to upgrade the shield to deal with the saber. General, please be careful..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhonghou's voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, Princess Anping wishes to see you."
"Qian'er? Let her in!" Zhu Youde shook his head. Zhu Qian came so late. It was definitely not for him, but for Wang Po.
This girl once went home with Wang Po to visit her relatives. When she came back, she often talked about how brave Wang Po was.
Now that my beloved is going to war and there are many dangers, he must come to see him.
"Your Majesty, General Wang." Zhu Qian was wearing a light green dress and applied delicate rouge, which looked particularly moving.
The drunk Wang Po stared at Zhu Qian, looking dazed. Zhu Youde just chuckled and found an excuse to leave.
"Oh, Brother Huang..." Seeing that she was about to be alone with Wang Po, Zhu Qian's face suddenly turned red.
That's all, I have to go on an expedition tomorrow, and my return date is far away...
She gritted her teeth, took out a hand-sewn peace blessing from her sleeve, and handed it to the man in front of her who was looking at her longingly.
"General, this is a peace blessing made by a little girl. Please accept it and wear it close to your body to keep it safe."
Wang Po was shocked when he saw the unexpected gift. When he realized that he had lost his composure, his mind was shaken and half of his mind came to his senses.
Looking at the blushing Princess Anping, he hesitated for a moment and took off his sword.
"Thank you for your kindness, princess. I am a vulgar person and don't know etiquette. This sword was given by your majesty and he followed me in several battles. I gave it to the princess as a return gift..."
Wang Po, who had just been bragging and talking with Zhu Youde, was hesitant and could not speak for a while.
Zhu Qian was amused and laughed again and again. She stretched out her jade hand to hold the sword and held it in her arms. She took a deep breath and raised her head suddenly to meet Wang Po's eyes.
"My dear daughter, I wish you to break through the enemy's army, and hope to return in triumph as soon as possible..."
After saying this, he stood up with a shameful face and walked quickly out of the palace, holding the sword tightly in his arms.
Wang Po froze on the spot for dozens of seconds, then his eyes widened suddenly, he took a deep breath, clutched Ping'an Fu and chased after him.
Outside the hall, Zhu Youde looked at Zhu Qian's beautiful figure and heard Wang Po's loud footsteps, holding his forehead and smiling softly.
Now we will really become brothers with Wang Po...
Then he stopped Wang Po, who was about to catch up, and pretended to be angry: "I'm still chasing you. The one ahead is my harem, what are you going to do?"
Wang Po's eyes showed disappointment, regretting why he hesitated, but the next second His Majesty's words cheered him up.
"When you return in triumph, I will make the decision to give you Qian'er and make you my consort!"
Wang Po clutched the blessing of peace and knelt down to thank him.
The two returned to the palace and fought fiercely again. It was not until late at night that Wang Zhonghou personally escorted Wang Po back to his residence.
After returning to the palace, Zhu Youde had not rested yet.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go to bed..." Wang Zhonghou reminded.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Youde handed over a note, which was related to the flag sacrifice tomorrow.
After watching Wang Zhonghou's expression changed drastically, he was just about to dissuade him when he heard an unmistakable voice: "Wang Banban is affected, I will sacrifice the flag in person tomorrow..."
