Yan Huaiwen did not want to have a heart-to-heart relationship with the King of England so early.
However, things change at times.
After several attempts to make plans, King Qi could no longer hold himself back.
If the British king has no intention of competing for the throne and focuses on Guanzhou, if he misses it once, he will have to spend several more years.
He doesn’t want to wait.
Coming out of the Yingwang Courtyard, Yan Huaiwen came to Wei Hejin's place.
"What? Let me go back to Beijing?" Wei Hejin's surprise was genuine.
“What do you mean, Your Majesty?”
Yan Huaiwen said warmly: "General, please don't be impatient, and listen to the next words."
“General Wei is going to conquer Beirong this time. He will decide the outcome in one battle and his military exploits are shining brightly. Coupled with his past achievements and a little bit of work, he can be promoted back to the capital.”
"Once the Northern Army is eliminated, there will be no more border chaos in Guanzhou within ten years. The general will stay in Guanzhou. The prince will feel at ease, but his heart will not be at ease. It is bitter and cold in the north, but the capital is prosperous. The prince really does not want to jeopardize the future of the general."
"Furthermore, the prince has been away from the capital for many years, and things have changed. Although there are many relatives and old friends, how many can be trusted? If the general is in the capital, it will be much easier for the prince to come to the capital in the future."
Wei Hejin thought about it secretly.
The King of England has been away from the capital for ten years. If it were not for the victory of this battle, he would be quite inconspicuous among the kings.
Your Majesty is old and the throne is vacant. Since the King of England wants to compete for the throne, he has no chance of staying in Guanzhou. He must find a way to return to Beijing.
Now, His Majesty has issued a decree to summon you.
If he returns to the capital first and takes care of everything for the King of England, no one will dare to stand in front of him when discussing his achievements.
It’s just that...he actually holds military power in Guanzhou. If he returns to the capital, given his qualifications, even if he has the merits of pacifying the border, he will not be able to lead the general.
"Your Majesty, can you tell me where you want Wei to seek his throne?" Wei Hejin secretly thought about several places in the capital.
"Not at all. Although the prince has a positive intention, he intends to take the high road and take it in a clear way."
“Let Wei think about this matter for a while.”
"General, you might as well write back to Beijing and ask General Wei... By the way, Your Majesty heard that several young gentlemen in the general's residence have been taught by General Wei for many years. They are already extraordinary at such a young age, so why not ask General Wei too? I would like to allow a few young masters to come and train in the Guanzhou Army. Your Majesty values General Wei and will treat him kindly. It will be known that he will become a man of talent and guard the palace for your Majesty."
…
"Can uncle General Wei really be transferred back to Beijing?" Yan Yu knew that it was difficult to talk outside, so he held it in for a while until he returned to the couple's small yard before opening up to ask.
“It’s not a transfer, it’s a promotion.” Yan Huaiwen corrected.
“Yeah, promoted.” Yan Yu’s eyes were bright and she asked again: “Uncle, General Wei is going to be promoted. Shouldn’t he stop surrounding Huju County Yamen?”
She kept mumbling: "Is it such a happy thing? Then he raised his hand and passed by. Uncle, did you just ask General Wei? What did he say?"
Yan Huaiwen: "If a few children from the Wei family come, there is no need to mention this matter. General Wei will withdraw the troops surrounding the Yamen."
"The prince can use the Wei family with peace of mind, and the Wei family does not have the foundation to cut off the Guanzhou army. It is a situation that benefits both sides."
"Such an invisible alliance has a heavy focus. If Wei Hejin should go to the capital and explore the way for the prince first, he will be sincere and will not worry the prince again about the tiger."
Yan Yu can understand it completely.
General Wei was promoted and returned to Beijing to prepare arrangements for the King of England in advance.
When his son came to Guanzhou, the Wei family was tied to the King of England's ship.
Since you are one of your own, why don't you bother surrounding Huju County Government if there is nothing you can do about it?
Her uncle gets things done for him without asking for help. Gee, he’s so awesome!
“Uncle, let me go to the small kitchen to see what King Wu has prepared for dinner tonight!”
Yan Yu wants to spend a small amount of money whenever she is happy.
Although there is a banquet in the evening, conditions in Qiongshan County are limited. No matter how delicious the food is, it will be cold by the time it is served. It is better to go to the small kitchen to make a small stove first and warm up the food first to satisfy the stomach.
Yan Huaiwen thought for a while and called her out: "The King of Wu is hosting a banquet for you all, so we won't join in the fun. You can use some money to buy a table in our courtyard and invite your Uncle Liang and others."
“Okay!” Yan Yu responded cheerfully.
Yan Huaiwen couldn't help but smile when he saw the waiter jumping around in the courtyard.
Let Wei Hejin come to Beijing, but he still has something to say.
Leshan bandit suppression and the subsequent Xizhou rebellion, these two achievements, for Wei Hejin, only received more rewards and a slight promotion in rank. The court, after all, is still the world of civil servants.
The first grade of martial arts and the first grade of literary arts are worlds apart!
But it would be very different if the merits of war were added to the body of the prince.
The King of England and his Crown Prince are one and the same.
The inheritance is orderly and there are successors, which is an important help in the battle for the reserve position.
Your Majesty will definitely think more about it.
…
The king of Qi betrayed the favor of the king of Wu and reluctantly insisted on leaving after the banquet.
As soon as the officials from Xizhou left, the King of England immediately felt the enthusiasm from the adults in Leshan Prefecture.
Those who are of high rank should come first to pay a visit to the King of England, and then go to the King of Wu.
Those who couldn't reach the two princes followed the same order, first coming to Yan Huaiwen, and then going to several Beijing officials brought by King Wu to deliver the post.
Yan Yu was very lucky. Fortunately, they ate early.
She was willing to spend money, and the same dish was served earlier than King Wu’s banquet.
They brought two more jars of wine. There was wine and vegetables, and everyone ate very happily.
When someone came after the banquet, they had all left for a long time.
Yan Yu listened to it at first, but then she got tired of it after listening too much.
If everything was about the same, with Brother Santie helping her, she, a little book boy, would just hide around and be lazy.
The night was dark, and it was another night without the moon or stars.
Yan Yu misses her father.
I don’t know how dad is doing now. It has started to rain in Leshan Prefecture. Will it also rain outside Guan? Or is it snowing?
She planned to write a letter to her father to ask how he was doing.
Let’s also talk about things here.
…
Yan Laoer put the sheepskins on the three treasures one after another.
Who knows? I have been riding bulls for a long time, and it feels like my buttocks are no longer my own.
Yan Laoer is homesick.
The harder it is outside, the more homesick you become.
This longing has been suppressed, and finally broke out after receiving a letter from his daughter.
Yan Yu is definitely a caring little cotton-padded jacket.
Know what her father wants to know and what he cares about.
This is a long letter that exceeds previous records.
Starting from the time when her uncle Feng returned to his hometown, in chronological order, he continued until the Leshan incident was settled and the King of England returned to Guanzhou.
Yan Laoer has read all the others twice, except his teacher who was besieged in Huju County Yamen a full five times.
He found Mr. Xue Qi.
"Old Xue, I want to go back to Huju." Yan Laoer's face was sullen and his expression was very serious.
“What did you say?” Mr. Xue Qi plucked his ears and stared at him.
"I want to go back to Huju to see my teacher. My teacher is not young anymore and can't stand the trouble. I won't worry if I don't make this trip." Yan Laoer said again: "I won't take the militia group away. It's okay to go back and visit." I'll be back soon, and you can do whatever you want. If you're too tired, you can just go back to the temporary camp to rest."
Xue Zongqi felt his toothache was sore.
He knew in his heart how difficult it was to identify the direction in the vast grassland.
This Yan Er, among other things, is very good at identifying positions by looking at pictures. He can find one accurately every time.
To be honest, their team could do without the man named Xue, but they could not do without the man named Yan.
At the beginning of the month, I quietly asked for a guaranteed monthly pass~o(*////▽////*)q~
