204 Northland Affairs and Interrogation Chief Lai Junchen
There are actually not many affairs in the Northland.
In addition, Yan Wulu has inspected all the state capitals that should be inspected in the past few months. His father has a government agency that can be called "incorruptible".
Therefore, there is no need for me to look at everything in detail like at the beginning.
Yan Wulu summoned Cheng Huanian, Zhu Gongqi, Wu Yuechang, Yan Tiange, Guo Wei and other five generals in the army, as well as Ye Changtian, Li Mieling and Nanchuanyue who were now directly under his command, and then inside the palace Qingsi, Chen Danyang, Lai Junchen, Wang Zhaomin and other prince's staff and senior palace officials.
Ye Changtian and Li Mieling have made great achievements in the tasks of forcing the king of Jin to enter the palace, escorting the crown prince, etc., and are now senior captains in the army.
Moreover, they are different from ordinary captains.
Everyone knows that these two people have outstanding abilities and were almost single-handedly promoted by the Crown Prince. In the future, they will be the Crown Prince's right-hand man and have a bright future.
Wang Zhaomin's words were more to convey this news to the Daqian court and confuse the other party.
If it really involves a major military aircraft matter that is the core secret of the Northland, Yan Wulu will not summon most of the palace officials, including Wang Zhaomin.
As for Minami Kawagoe...it's just a random number.
At a government meeting.
Yan Wulu told everyone in the hall what he thought...
Everyone has different opinions on this matter.
Among them, led by Qingsi, Chen Danyang and others, they believed that it was too dangerous for the prince's dignity to go to the northern Xinjiang.
On the other hand, Li Mieling and others thought that they should go there, so there was nothing to be afraid of in the northern border area.
The two sides argued endlessly.
In fact, Yan Wulu had already made up his mind, and it was useless to argue and persuade him.
Yan Wulu finally decided to let Cheng Huanian stay in the Northland and take charge of the military affairs in the Northland.
He is the commanding general of the Zhenbei Army. He has the longest qualifications, the strongest ability, and the most comprehensive. He also has great prestige in the army. There is no one more suitable than him to guard the North at this moment.
But the right general Zhu Gongqi was obviously a little worried.
He was still the crown prince in his heart and was wary of the power of the "general faction" in the army.
Yan Wulu never felt that the so-called "general faction" was a threat.
However, in order to calm the doubts of the lieutenants represented by Zhu Gongqi, Yan Wulu asked him and Ye Changtian, as well as Guo Wei and Yan Tiange, two generals who had always been neutral, a total of four people. He stayed with Cheng Huanian to guard the North.
The five of them worked together to handle major military affairs in the North.
Among them, Ye Changtian is considered the most junior person, but Ye Changtian's military ability has been evident during this period of his military career.
If we say that Li Mieling's previous position as commander of a thousand men was due to his strength as an eighth-level warrior and his bloodthirsty accumulation of countless heads.
Then, Ye Changtian's military position was more based on his achievements in formation and military command, which promoted his advancement and growth.
Yan Wulu had always felt that Li Mieling was more like a "Chang Yuchun"-style pioneer general, while Ye Changtian was more like a "Xuda"-style military commander.
Yan Wulu deliberately wanted to cultivate these two people.
However, the cultivation of military commanders is much more difficult than that of vanguard generals.
Yan Wulu even believed that he could not be regarded as an excellent commander, just like what his father Yan Dong said to him when he defeated Wanyan Lie...
Rather than commanding thousands of troops, he may be more skilled at leading troops to charge into battle and penetrate behind enemy lines.
Therefore, on the one hand, in order to cultivate Ye Changtian's prestige in the army, on the other hand, he also wanted Ye Changtian to learn from Cheng Huanian and other generals who followed their father.
He thought that Ye Changtian should be able to understand his good intentions.
…
After arranging the affairs in the North, Yan Wulu bought some things for children and went to see the little princess Jiang Rongya.
The little princess is now raised in the Jiang family. Although she is not in Zhenbei Palace, fortunately, the Jiang family is not far from the palace, and it can be reached in a short time with carriages and horses.
Several nuns and wet nurses hired by the palace and the Jiang family were mainly responsible for the daily life of the little princess.
Jiang Yueling also came to Jiang's house every day and personally took care of the little princess Jiang Rongya.
Yan Wulu often came with Jiang Yueling, but after all, Yan Wulu had to take charge of the affairs of the Northland, so he was unable to come several times.
On those few occasions, Bai Yue usually accompanied Jiang Yueling.
This time, after Yan Wulu finished handling the affairs in the North, he suddenly wanted to see the little princess, so he came alone.
As a result, as soon as they entered the Jiang family compound, they saw Jiang Yueling and Bai Yue here, and they seemed to have been here for a long time.
Yan Wulu chuckled upon seeing this.
He felt that his love for his children was probably not as good as Jiang Yueling's.
Or is it because men’s way of expressing love is not as direct and obvious as that of women?
Yan Wulu didn't figure it out in the end.
Together with Jiang Yueling and Bai Yue, he took care of the young princess Jiang Rongya in the Jiang family.
Then, around noon, Yan Wulu had to leave first because of government affairs.
He needed to go to the Yanbei mansion where Wanyan Lie was under house arrest to visit the clan general of Northern Xinjiang, the legendary general who dominated the border in the past.
Since the "Battle of the Hetao", Yan Wulu has not seen Wanyan Lie for a long time, almost more than a year.
Now that we meet again, he realizes that this Wanyan Lie... has a pretty good life!
I ate and drank well every day. When I was full, I lay on the rocking chair in the yard and basked in the sun.
When Yan Wulu first arrived, Wanyan Lie was still taking a nap on the rocking chair!
Moreover, I slept very soundly.
Come to think of it, if the person next to him who was responsible for guarding and taking care of Wanyan Lie hadn't woken him up, he would have slept until evening.
After Wanyan Lie stood up completely.
Yan Wulu even noticed that Wanyan Lie had gained a lot of weight than before, and even wearing loose casual clothes could not cover his belly.
It seems that the food here in Yanbeicheng is really good.
After a brief exchange, Yan Wulu also informed Wanyan Lie that he would personally send him back to Northern Xinjiang.
When Wanyan Lie heard this, he acted very calmly, but he was not as ecstatic as ordinary prisoners would be when they regained their freedom.
He said——
"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess requested this from you, right? To be valued so highly by Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess makes Lie... feel so guilty."
Yan Wulu and Wanyan Lie briefly communicated.
From Wanyan Lie's mouth, and contacting the information obtained by Yan Wulu in the past.
Yan Wulu probably learned about the various alliances between Wanyan Lie and the eldest princess of Northern Xinjiang, as well as his special status on the grasslands of Northern Xinjiang...
You know, the land of Northern Xinjiang has been an absolute conqueror since ancient times.
The vast grasslands of Northern Xinjiang were all under the rule of Wanyan Jin Kingdom.
The territory of the Wanyan Jin Kingdom has no boundaries, and wherever water and grass grow, the people of the northern Xinjiang regard it as their own.
"I came, I saw, I conquered."
Nomadic people, all the people are soldiers.
Many northern Khan kings led their ethnic groups such as Yelu, Tuoba and other large clans, surrounding the king of Northern Xinjiang headed by the Wanyan clan.
For any dynasty, Northern Xinjiang is the most aggressive and threatening.
The King of Northern Xinjiang is now a young king with mediocre qualifications, only eleven or twelve years old. And by his side, the person he relies on most is his half-sister, the eldest princess of Northern Xinjiang—— Wanyan Lingxu.
Wanyan Lingxu is the think tank of Northern Xinjiang, the "Pearl of the Grassland" in Northern Xinjiang, and the person who once made several Northern Expeditions without success.
Northern Xinjiang Wanyan Jin Kingdom, the king of Northern Xinjiang is too young and has not yet ruled personally.
The major military and political affairs of the Wanyan Jin Kingdom were mainly planned by the three "chief ministers".
They are the eldest princess Wanyan Lingxu, the king of the North Court and the clan general Wanyan Lie, and the king of the South Court Wanyan Fen.
Among them, the eldest princess, Wanyan Lingxu, and the king of Beiyuan, Wanyan Lie, are both monarchs and ministers, uncles and nephews, and they can be considered to be on the same front.
However, Wan Yanfen, the king of Nanyuan, was a side branch of the clan, and was contrary to the political views of the eldest princess, Wanyan Lingxu, and others.
Yan Wulu secretly pinched his chin.
He probably now understands why the eldest princess went to such great lengths to exchange for Wanyan Lie.
First, Wanyan Lie is the King of Beiyuan in Northern Xinjiang, one of the three "ruling princes", and he is a cooperative ally and even a supporter with her.
Although the eldest princess of Northern Xinjiang is famous, she is still a female. Even in Northern Xinjiang, which has open folk customs, it may be difficult for a woman to rule.
Therefore, Wanyan Lingxu needs to rely on the power of Wanyan Lie, the king of the North Campus, who supports him, to compete with Wanyan Fen, the king of the South Campus.
Of the two, Wanyan Lie is a legendary general in Northern Xinjiang. He has defeated Daqian's army many times. Although he was defeated at the hands of Zhenbei King Yan Dong that year, he has rarely defeated a large number with less. , despite the great victory, Wanyan Lie still had great appeal and prestige to the people of Wanyan Jin Kingdom in northern Xinjiang.
For Wanyan Lingxu, if he can have Wanyan Lie's support, it will definitely be beneficial without any harm.
Therefore, even if Wanyan Lie is just rescued and used as a mascot after returning to Northern Xinjiang this time, it is okay.
…
After visiting the senior prisoner Wan Yan Lie.
Yan Wulu came to Jiang's house, picked up Jiang Yueling, and took Bai Yue along with him, and returned to the palace together.
Originally, not long after returning to the palace, Bai Yue realized what was going on and walked away, and the atmosphere between Yan Wulu and Jiang Yueling had reached a suitable level.
result……
Lai Junchen, the new interrogator promoted by Yan Wulu, suddenly came to report the results of the torture to Yan Wulu.
For a moment, the matter between Yan Wulu and Jiang Yueling was interrupted.
Yan Wulu suddenly recalled the same situation when he and Zhang Chunhua came back from the suburbs of Yanbei.
Do these torturers just like to report the situation at this time?
Yan Wulu shook his head to dispel the strange thoughts in his mind.
He asked Jiang Yueling to rest first, and then went to see Lai Junchen...
Lai Junchen is now only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he already holds the position of "chief torturer of Zhenbei Palace", a senior official position, which is unprecedented in history.
Of course, the role of Yan Wulu's deliberate promotion cannot be ignored.
Yan Wulu especially remembered that the other party was wearing a torturer's uniform, his body was stained with green animal blood and bright red human blood, and he looked like an excited young torturer.
But now, Lai Junchen seems to be much more mature than before...
A lot has changed, and something is missing.
…
In fact, a few months ago, within the fifteen days promised by Lai Junchen, he had already brought the first news to Yan Wulu - the name of the immortal soul body was Yun Qingzhi.
"It's a rather artistic name." Yan Wulu responded at that time.
He thought this would be a good start.
But since then, in the past few months, Lai Junchen has made no progress.
Yan Wulu didn't blame him harshly.
But Lai Junchen said, "His Royal Highness, I may have encountered the most difficult person to torture in my life."
Yan Wulu was a little puzzled, "Is it possible that the soul body is too special? Or is this person too strong?"
"None of that."
Lai Junchen said directly, he raised his head slightly, looked at Yan Wulu's expression secretly, and continued -
"My subordinates have already solved the problem of the soul body."
"...It's just that, Your Highness, you gave your subordinate an object to carve that you were obviously very interested in but did not express it directly. I held it in my hand. Although I had some energy left in my heart, I was always worried that I would make a mistake somewhere.
Out of proportion, the object was damaged.”
"...My subordinates overestimated themselves, thinking that they could use gentler means to pry open a mouth that was otherwise impossible to pry open."
When Yan Wulu heard this, he was well aware of Lai Junchen's demands.
Thinking about it, Lai Junchen may have been influenced by many other people and thought that he liked this soul body with extraordinary beauty, but he just refused to say it, just like an awkward couple.
That's why he was so tied up.
"Thank you for your hard work, chief torturer."
Yan Wulu spoke, his words were very gentle, like the spring breeze blowing on his face.
But in the next moment, the conversation suddenly changed, "You, no matter what, I only want results."
"...But, come to Junchen, let me tell you something ugly. If you are not able to get what I want for me, I guess there are still many capable torturers who want to take the position of chief interrogator of the palace."
Lai Junchen was sweating profusely from behind.
He considers himself a torturer who is not afraid of power and devotes himself to the "art of torture".
However, at the moment when he faced Crown Prince Yan Wulu, the other person's aura and power seemed like a true king descending in front of him.
Human instinct gave him a fear of the king.
He could only kneel down and say yes.
However, Lai Junchen recalled what his adoptive father, the former chief torturer, had warned him during this period - "The prince wants those things, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want this woman.
"
Lai Junchen's thoughts were extremely complicated for a while.
Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of a method that he thought was extremely wonderful -
If the prince is allowed to do it himself, then even if something goes wrong and the soul body is destroyed, it shouldn't be blamed on us torturers?
Lai Junchen mustered up his courage, saluted Yan Wulu and said -
"Since I have received such a guarantee from His Highness, Junchen will do his best!"
"...Junchen has a method, which may have miraculous effects. However, if I can get your personal help from the Crown Prince, perhaps it can get twice the result with half the effort!"
Yan Wulu felt that Lai Junchen's words were not simple and seemed to have a profound meaning.
He asked cautiously——
"Since it is your request, Chief Torturer, then naturally I will fully support it."
"...It's just that this prince is still a little curious. What is the method that requires me to do it so that we can get twice the result with half the effort?"
"...Is it possible that I am more powerful than you experienced torturers?"
Lai Junchen swallowed, thinking that indeed, the little Jiujiu in his heart could not be hidden from the prince.
However, he bit the bullet and continued——
"Because...because, this method will involve too close contact with the prisoner, and you will often even see the prisoner's body. We, the palace torturers, do not dare to get involved in His Highness the Crown Prince's things."
"Huh?" Yan Wulu looked confused for a moment.
But this did seem to be a reason that fit the style of palace torturers like them, and Yan Wulu no longer doubted it.
only……
This is not Lai Junchen's style.
In other words, it is not the style of Lai Junchen before.
Yan Wulu sighed silently. He remembered that Lai Junchen didn't have so many worries in the past.
In order to torture the results, Lai Junchen was willing to risk anything...even his own life.
I feel that people are constantly growing. The young boy who was fearless at the beginning has now learned to be independent.
