To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 205 Volume 4 Subtracting Word Magnolia

The study was quiet, You Miao no longer hid her words, and shook all her burdens towards Zhao Chao.At this time, if you keep your words in your mouth, it will only arouse unnecessary suspicion. You Miao knows what Zhao Chao is thinking.He analyzed it straightforwardly.

"Listen to Brother Nie, take your brother and father back." You Miao said: "But before picking them up, the person who went there will give your brother a secret decree, asking him to write an edict and give you the Zen seat."

"He won't." Zhao Chao said.

You Miao said: "He will, he just wants to survive and return to the south, I know very well."

Zhao Chao finally really relaxed, looked at You Miao with gratitude in his eyes, nodded and said, "What should we do after we come back?"

You Miao said: "Seal the king of Jiaozhou. This way you won't be ashamed of him."

Zhao Chao: "But brother Nie won't be willing, they want him to come back and sit in this chair."

"Cut off his military power for the time being, and use him again after everything is settled." You Miao said again: "I will talk to the Tatars with Li Zhifeng, and I will talk to your brother in person. This matter is on my shoulders." .I promise you this, and you have to promise me."

Zhao Chao's eyes softened a little, and he looked at You Miao.

You Miao said again: "You shouldn't treat your brother badly. I have actually thought about what you think. You know, my family used to be like this. No matter how he treated you back then, he was always your brother."

Zhao Chao was startled.You Miao said: "Brother Nie's affairs are easy to handle. Anyway, from spring to autumn this year, it is no longer suitable for war. Let all the soldiers come back to farm and support themselves is the top priority. Brother Nie should not be in public or private. Let's go to war to the north."

Zhao Chao said: "That's all for now. But you have to tell Brother Nie not to add trouble to me."

You Miao breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, he finally found a way to get the best of both worlds. Zhao Chao continued to be emperor, and Nie Dan's life was saved.It avoided the ensuing confrontation and solved Zhao Chao's heart disease.He had no doubt that as long as Zhao Chao did not fulfill his promise, Nie Dan would continue to write the letter.Once, twice, three times, until the monarch and ministers completely turned their faces and put Nie Dan into the prison.

Now I just beg Nie Dan not to say any more, otherwise it is very likely to cause a mutiny.It's time for the soldiers to disarm and return, and they must go home.Otherwise, they will not even be able to eat food this year.And Zhao Chao's order is to let Nie Dan command the Yangzhou Army in the name of rewards, to carry out the troops to garrison the fields, and stay in Maocheng, and leave the rest of the front line to Li Zhifeng.

"You plan and talk about it." You Miao said again: "I'll talk to Brother Nie."

Zhao Chao nodded.

You Miao bowed to leave, and when she left the imperial study, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

In the evening, the snow melted on the eaves, and water was dripping downwards. At dusk, You Miao returned to the Political Affairs Hall, but saw Nie Dan in the yard, talking with Tang Bo.

You Miao: "General Nie."

Nie Dan nodded slightly and said, "I'm just here too."

Tang Bo said: "Sir, he has taken a nap and is about to take General Nie in."

You Miao said: "Let me come. Mr. Tang just go home."

Tang Bo knew that Nie Dan and You Miao had something to say, so he left without saying a word. You Miao took Nie Dan into the backyard without saying a word.

In the dark room, there was a smell of urine on Sun Yu's couch, You Miao went to the side of the couch and whispered, "Sir."

Sun Yu let out a sigh of relief and opened his eyes weakly.Since the day of the stroke, You Miao has tried everything, needle stones, medicinal materials, massage and other techniques, but Sun Yu's health still hasn't improved. He can only move his eyeballs slightly, and it's difficult to even lift his fingers. I don't know what he's thinking What.

"General Nie is here to see you." You Miao leaned into Sun Yu's ear and said.

Sun Yu didn't even raise his eyelids, nor did he respond.Nie Dan stepped forward and bowed, and said in a low voice, "Master Shenzhi."

Although Nie Dan has reached the peak of military generals, as the general of the world's soldiers and horses, Tianqi's military officer rank is much lower than that of civilian officials, only from the third rank.Sun Yu was a first-rank official. After Nie Dan met Sun Yu with his subordinates, he stepped forward to hold Sun Yu's hand.

"I don't know that you will fall ill at this time." Nie Dan said, "We only have the last two steps left on our journey to the north."

You Miao listened quietly, and wanted to leave several times, but Nie Dan didn't say a word, and left inconveniently.Not long after, I heard Nie Dan say again: "As you expected, the matter is not simple. The intention of the Third Highness is obviously that he does not want to return the throne."

You Miao was startled, and based on this, he deduced that when Zhao Chao returned to the south of the Yangtze River, he received the strong support of Nie Dan and Sun Yu, both civil and military, and ascended the throne as emperor, which must have been some kind of promise.Nie Dan finally said: "I will fight with reason and do my duty as a courtier. I must take care of my health, my lord. In the future, I will have a place to rely on you. The country and the people cannot do without you."

You Miao knew what Nie Dan said, half of it was for Sun Yu, and half of it was for herself.At this moment, he was unable to explain anything to Nie Dan, nor could he say more in front of Sun Yu.

"When did it start?" Nie Dan finally asked You Miao.

"The first day of the new year." You Miao said.

When Nie Dan asked about his condition, You Miao looked sad and replied, "The doctor said that it will gradually get better after a while."

Nie Dan nodded, then lightly patted the back of Sun Yu's hand, and said, "Master Shenzhi, take good care of your illness." Then he exited the room.You Miao closed the door and came out, Nie Dan said again: "To tell the truth, fourth brother."

You Miao sighed and shook her head.

Everyone, including You Miao himself, felt that Sun Yu was a dying candle. Since he couldn't speak after the stroke, it would be impossible to raise him well, not to mention that Sun Yu was already seventy years old-- from the ordinary family. For the elderly, those who can live to sixty or seventy are already living a long life.Sun Yu worked hard for the country every day, couldn't eat, and couldn't sleep at night.The complicated political affairs of the past few years have completely hollowed him out.

"If you don't interfere with the government anymore." You Miao said: "Send him to Jiangbo Villa to recuperate, maybe he will recover slowly. If you want him to work for Tianqi again...I think...it's too difficult."

Nie Dan sighed, and simply sat down in the yard, thinking.

"From now on, the Zhengshitang will depend on you." Nie Dan said slowly, "What are you going to do next?"

"Assist Your Majesty, treat the people kindly, and comfort people's hearts." You Miao also sat down opposite Nie Dan. It was rare for the two to meet on such a night, so You Miao decided to have a good talk with him.The last time we met was at the end of the summer of the year before last. During these times, You Miao had too many things to say to Nie Dan in detail.

Nie Dan said: "Others don't know about this Northern Expedition, but Eldest Brother understands that without your support, the Northern Expedition would not be possible, and it will not wait until now. Eldest Brother was also undecided before, whether to advance The class teacher returned to the court, and the second brother said, with you in the court, we don't have to be afraid if we go to war. If you trust us, we should trust you too."
