But he overlooked one thing, she was not an object, she would be sad and would give up.
He never thought that her love would slowly fade away. In his plan, she just had to wait for him quietly in Shaoguang Courtyard.
He probably thought, like Xie Yanyu, that love between young men and women was really not that important.
That’s right, how can we feel the importance of something we already have?
So, just as he said, until he was seriously injured and dying, and was shocked to realize that he had left behind something, the thing on his mind was not the war, not the political enemies in the court, not the intrigues and calculations, but only her.
Only when you are about to lose something do you realize what is most important.
It's so wrong.
Xie Wan Ning smiled bitterly and looked at his brother in front of him steadily. "Since it is not important, please remember these words, brother. In this life, you should devote yourself to serving the country and the people, and don't be attached to the love between men and women."
I don't know what Pei Yuxuan thought when she found out that he was going to marry someone from the Li family who was inferior to her in terms of appearance and birth, and that they had never even met before the marriage.
I probably would think, since you can marry a girl who is inferior to me in every way and with whom I have no feelings at all, yet you can reject my advances time and time again.
Any girl with a bit of pride would think this is a huge loss of face.
How much do you have to hate yourself to do this?
In short, the damage has been done to these two people and it is impossible to turn back.
Now, Xie Wan Ning only hopes that her brother will never regret his decision today.
Even if I find myself attracted to someone one day, it can never be to Pei Yuxuan.
You have already offended people to death.
…………
With Xie Yanyu's departure from Beijing, the last ray of scorching heat faded away, and it gradually entered deep autumn, with the weather turning cooler.
The fighting in the northern border was in full swing, with urgent military reports arriving every now and then.
The Jin Dynasty was a nomadic people who ate raw meat and drank blood. The living conditions were extremely bitter and cold. When the weather got cold in autumn and winter, they were short of food and clothing. I don't know how many people starved to death.
It is an open fact that the Han Dynasty's national strength has been weakening in recent years. Therefore, at the end of every year, the Jin Dynasty's cavalry would become restless on the border, and burning, killing and looting were common.
If the country is weak, the people will suffer.
Women, cattle, sheep, and food were their main targets of plunder. The people living in the border areas suffered greatly from humiliation and were in great pain.
And this year, let alone harassing our border, the Jin army was even defeated by Lu Ziyan and had no power to fight back.
The battle reports sent back to the capital were more inspiring than the last.
The people rushed to tell each other, and everyone knew that the foreign tribes suppressed by the King of Zhenbei were out of breath, and retreated back to their grasslands, not daring to invade.
The emperor even praised the three good points repeatedly in the court, and kept saying that he would reward the three armies generously.
All the civil and military officials in the court were excited.
The Jin Dynasty in the northern border was the Han Dynasty's greatest enemy. They had been eyeing the Han Dynasty covetously for years, and it was unknown how much flesh and blood they had bitten off from the Han Dynasty to nourish themselves. Now that their prestige had been destroyed, how could this not be a great joy?
But not everyone is happy about such a big happy event.
For example, several other princes and their mothers.
As a legitimate prince, Lu Ziyan is now the King of Zhenbei with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and has won the hearts of the people...
The emperor keeps talking about rewards, but it can be said that apart from the chair under his butt, there is nothing else to reward him. Once he returns victorious, the position of crown prince will be the only reward he can get.
By that time, he will be loved by the people, hold military power, and be the legitimate crown prince. There will be no place for them to operate.
...How could the princes, who are from the royal family, bear to live a life of dependence on others?
Especially the eldest prince and the second prince, it would be fine if they had never seen any hope, but before Lu Ziyan's identity was restored, they were the most promising candidates to become the crown prince!
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and this is absolutely true.
The two princes fought for their own interests, but were also tied together for their own interests. They discussed this with their aides countless times.
At first, they wanted Lu Ziyan to die in Northern Frontier and put an end to it all.
But Lu Ziyan was no ordinary man. He was strict in military discipline and all of his lieutenants were promoted by him personally. Not to mention that their means could not reach the military camp, even if they did, they would find it difficult to achieve anything, let alone plot against him.
Finding that they couldn't kill anyone, the two princes had to change their method. They wanted Lu Ziyan to lose the battle. Even if the emperor was partial, he couldn't reward a defeated general, right?
But Lu Ziyan was indeed a good fighter. As the commander-in-chief, he made the final decision on all deployments and never made any mistakes. Apart from him, no one could decide the outcome.
Finally, they wanted to attack the defensive supply line.
It is said that food and fodder must be sent before troops move forward. Even if you are a military genius, you still have to make sure your soldiers have enough food.
But how could the food and grass be tampered with so easily?
It can be said that all the civil and military officials in the court, including the emperor, have their eyes fixed on the battlefield in the northern border. If there is any disturbance there, no one can escape.
At that time, let alone being dependent on others, even if he is a prince, he will not be able to escape death for such a crime of harming the country.
The Qi royal family had precedents of killing their sons. Not to mention the distant past, the late emperor personally issued an edict to execute two princes who colluded with foreign tribes for their own interests.
The idea of moving the food supplies was thus abandoned.
It's so difficult to make Lu Ziyan lose the battle!
Is he really a natural born general who is as strong as an iron wall and has no weaknesses at all?
…………
No one except these people knew about their secret intrigues, and the entire Shengjing City, from top to bottom, was immersed in the long-lost joy of victory.
