Seeing white tea, the gloom on Wen Yuzhu's face quickly disappeared.
He walked quickly to Bai Cha, took the comb from Bai Cha's hand in a natural movement, picked up the green hair on her back with his left hand, and held the comb in his right hand to comb her long hair little by little, without any trace of gloom on his face:
"Why don't you sleep more?"
Bai Cha didn't turn his head, and looked seriously at the person combing his hair in the bronze mirror:
"Did something happen in the court?"
The raised corners of Wen Yuzhu's lips gradually fell. He looked at the white tea in the mirror and pursed his lips without saying a word.
Bai Cha didn't rush him, he just waited quietly.
Wen Yuzhu tied up the last strand of Bai Cha's long hair, and then said: "This morning, Your Majesty received an urgent call from the border crossing 800 miles away.
Wansheng invaded the border areas of Jiang State, massacred more than ten villages, killed and injured countless people, and plundered all the food."
When Bai Cha heard what Wen Yuzhu said, the expression on his face became serious.
Wen Yuzhu put down the comb in his hand: "Your Majesty lost his temper when he found out. He dismissed all the border officials and sent me to send troops."
Bai Cha knew that if it was so simple, how could Wen Yuzhu be so angry.
I'm afraid there are other things going on here.
Wen Yuzhu lowered his eyes and looked at Bai Cha: "What Prime Minister Su and I want is to use Yancheng as the boundary, recover the three states and fourteen cities north of Yancheng, make Wansheng apologize, and sign a treaty not to invade again for a hundred years.
After all, given Jiang Guo’s current financial resources, this is the most economical and appropriate method.”
Bai Cha understands what men are thinking.
The war in the south just ended two years ago. In the past two years, the entire Jiang Kingdom has been recovering and recuperating. Finally, things have improved a bit, and the national treasury is full.
Once a war breaks out and the emperor cannot afford such a huge expenditure, it is the people who will suffer.
Holding the man's hand: "So someone is pretending to understand and made some outrageous suggestions?"
Wen Yuzhu sat next to Bai Cha: "It's His Highness the Third Prince."
The white tea fox's eyes narrowed.
Your Highness?
Jin Cui’s fiancé?
"Do you know how outrageous he is?" Wen Yuzhu's voice was filled with anger and a hint of grievance.
Bai Cha gently pinched the back of the man's hand with his fingers and asked cooperatively: "How outrageous?"
"He, a person who can't even memorize the territory map, actually proposed to destroy Wansheng!
It is said that destroying Wansheng will give the people of Jiang State a bad breath, and it will also deter other small countries around them, so that they will not dare to invade.
Does he know how much money is left in the treasury?
How heavy were the taxes and corvees in the imperial court?
How many elite soldiers and cavalry does Wansheng have?
He knows nothing but says those flattering words.
Your Majesty is a sensible person, but I don’t know what happened today. His mind seems to be muddled by shit.
No matter how much I and Mr. Su persuade me, Your Majesty is determined to fight!
Finally, I asked His Majesty to find another famous general to go on the expedition, but His Majesty actually..."
Wen Yuzhu suddenly shut up, pursed his lips tightly, and his hands were shaking with anger.
He really didn't expect that the Wen family had sacrificed so much for Jiang Guo, but in the end His Majesty would be so cold-hearted.
Close your eyes, the emperor's words linger in your ears.
"Okay, since General Wen won't fight, I won't object. After all, I can't force others to do anything.
General Wen will spend time with Mrs. Wen at home and marry a virtuous and virtuous wife.
I have thought about it, and my Princess Mingya is good, virtuous and generous, and a good wife.
There is also the third child. Although he has a fiancée, it is not normal to have only one main wife at such an old age.
I've shown you that Miss Ye's family in Yancheng looks good, but her background is a bit poor. She comes from a merchant's family, so it would be good for her to be a concubine for you.
What does General Wen think of this decision?"
Thinking of the emperor's words, Wen Yuzhu was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
How dare he!
How dare he humiliate his sweetheart like this!
Even without him saying anything, Bai Cha could guess what was going on. Hugging the man, Bai Cha narrowed his eyes.
She could never forget what Tiandao said to her last night, let alone that according to the original direction, Wen Yuzhu would die in the war with Wansheng...
She would not let Wen Yuzhu make the same mistake again.
She would never let the sparkle out of her high-spirited young man's eyes.
Wen Yuzhu quickly regained his composure, and he would resolve the matter.
Marry a princess?
Marry whomever you love.
As for the third prince, if he dares to think of Xiaobai, he will be beheaded.
Did the emperor think he was the only one who could threaten him?
If you dare to use Xiaobai to threaten him, you will definitely have to pay a price.
Where Bai Cha couldn't see, Wen Yuzhu's eyes were fierce and terrifying.
"Bang bang bang" a rapid knock on the door interrupted the tenderness between the two of them.
"Major General, Miss Ye, Prime Minister Su is here. He is in the front hall."
Bai Cha pushed the man.
Wen Yuzhu reluctantly got up from Bai Cha, his face regained the casualness in front of Bai Cha, and there was no longer any sinister and bloodthirsty look on his face.
When the father-in-law comes, he must receive him well.
"You eat first, I'll be back soon."
Bai Cha knew that the other party was probably going to talk to Su Zhizhang about matters in the court, so he didn't bother him.
When he walked to the door, Wen Yuzhu suddenly turned around:
"By the way, Your Majesty has dismissed Magistrate Gao, and the new Magistrate will be on his way in a few days.
I was afraid that Gao Chunlin would jump over the wall, so last night I sent a letter to my subordinates in Yancheng, asking them to protect my father, brother and the Ye family members.
So, stop worrying and just relax and have a rest.
Just have fun in the capital these two days."
Leave all the rest to me and I will take care of it.
Wen Yuzhu said the last half of the sentence in his heart.
He doesn't need his wife to know what he has done, he just wants his wife to be safe and happy.
Bai Cha's heart almost melted when she saw the man giving her a gentle and handsome smile.
She knew that Wen Yuzhu must have been busy with this matter last night, but he didn't tell her until the matter actually came to an end.
He didn't want to give himself false hope, nor did he want to worry all the time.
This person is really gentle to the core...
The corners of his lips raised uncontrollably: "Okay, go ahead."
After breakfast, Bai Cha went to the Ye family's store in Beijing. After all, he wanted to meet his mother-in-law and sister-in-law, so it would be outrageous to go empty-handed.
And she still had some things to inquire about.
I had just packed snacks from Su Shi Zhai, and when I looked up at Bai Cha, I saw Jiang Yuheng.
Jiang Yuheng didn't expect to see white tea here, and he was suddenly surprised.
When Wen Shu saw Bai Cha, he immediately let go of Jiang Yuheng's hand and ran towards Bai Cha: "Sister, sister, I thought you didn't want our brothers anymore?"
Bai Cha immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How could it be? It's just an emergency in the capital, so I'm here. Do you want some snacks?"
Bai Cha shook the jujube cake in his hand.
Before Jiang Yuheng could speak, Wen Shu said excitedly: "I want it!"
If his wife wanted to treat him to a snack, of course he would go!
Jiang Yuheng helplessly held his forehead, this little fool was still thinking about his little aunt.
The three of them entered the teahouse next to it. Bai Cha ordered a pot of Biluochun. Bai Cha was worried that Wen Shu was too young to drink tea, so he ordered a pot of sour plum soup for him.
