Chapter 3226 You Know Nothing
Zhu Chengxuan asked, "What does Father want them to do?"
Zhu Feng said: "Transfer them to the northwest."
"Transferred to the Northwest?"
Zhu Chengxuan was shocked when he heard this, and even Nan Yan turned to look at Zhu Feng in surprise - you know, although it is common for the Ministry of War to mobilize troops, in order to save the soldiers' physical strength and food and wages, troops are usually mobilized nearby.
For example, when deploying troops in the northwest, they are generally transferred from Sichuan and Shaanxi.
However, this time, he actually transferred troops from Yongzhou to the northwest, which was almost a long journey of thousands of miles from south to north. It was too time-consuming and laborious.
She thought so in her heart, but it was not easy to interfere in politics in front of everyone.
I had no choice but to look at Zhu Chengxuan.
Naturally, as the Crown Prince, Zhu Chengxuan also understood the problem. He exchanged glances with Nan Yan and said softly, "Father, wouldn't it be too much trouble to mobilize troops from both the south and the north?"
"It's just a hassle."
Zhu Feng said calmly, "The Fuyu Guard and Taining Guard used to roam the northern grasslands, but ever since they followed Prince Jing, they've been holed up in the southern mountains and can't even run. If we don't let them stretch their legs, the cavalry will soon lose their ability to ride."
“…”
"Just to let them stretch their muscles."
“…”
"Besides, after such a long time, Chen Zixiao still hasn't been able to completely wipe out the Eastern Chahe tribe's cavalry. It seems he's a tough nut to crack. Since he's a tough nut to crack, we should send another tough nut to crack and see who has the tougher one."
Hearing him say this, Zhu Chengxuan nodded slightly.
Nan Yan had nothing to say.
Indeed, the cavalry of the Eastern Chagali tribe has been harassing the northwest. Other things are fine, but if the special envoys of the Parthian Empire come this time and are really affected by them, apart from anything else, the reputation of the Great Yan Dynasty will be destroyed first, which is absolutely unacceptable.
Zhu Feng said, "At court tomorrow morning, let the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War discuss these two matters. Once they are done, let them go and do it immediately."
Zhu Chengxuan said, "I understand."
After they finished speaking, Nan Yan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's so hard for the family to sit together. Why don't you stop talking about those state affairs and wait until the court session?"
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "That's right."
After saying that, he clapped his hands towards the young master Chang Yi and said with a smile, "Come, let Grandpa Huang hold you."
He had just talked about things in the northwest, and there was a hint of murderousness in his tone and eyes. One could vaguely see some of the brave and warlike King Yan in the past. But when he faced his children and grandchildren, he smiled so kindly, as if he was playing with his grandchildren. Nan Yan watched him from the side, and although it was snowing heavily outside, she felt warm in her heart.
A family dinner that lasted until late at night.
Seeing that the snow outside was almost up to the calves, the north wind was howling as if it was going to lift the ground up, and the palace gate had been closed for a long time. Fortunately, the Crown Princess often went to the palace, and sometimes she didn't go back until late, so Nan Yan arranged for her to stay in Chengqian Palace where the Crown Prince once lived. Naturally, they both stayed there tonight.
After arranging everything, Nan Yan helped Zhu Feng return to Yonghe Palace.
Because he had just drunk some medicine, as soon as he returned to Yonghe Palace, Zhu Feng was steamed by the heat from the already warm earth dragon. He suddenly felt a little drunk and staggered to the bed and fell down.
Nan Yan immediately came over and pulled his arm: "Your Majesty!"
Zhu Feng buried his face in the pillow and said sullenly, "What are you doing?"
Nan Yan said, "You can't go to bed without washing your feet."
“…”
Zhu Feng lay motionless on the bed. Nan Yan did not indulge him. She gritted her teeth and pulled his arm with all her might, but still could not move him. She was so tired that she sat on the edge of the bed and gasped for breath.
After a long while, Zhu Feng slowly got up by himself.
The smell of alcohol had not yet dissipated, and his face was red. He sat on the edge of the bed and squinted his eyes at Nan Yan: "You have so many things to do."
Seeing that he had gotten up on his own, Nan Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She squatted down and took off his shoes herself, saying, "The emperor has been walking around a lot today. His feet must be sweaty. If you don't wash them, they will stink!"
"How dare you! I don't stink."
"Your Majesty is already a grandfather, how can you go to bed without washing your feet?"
When he heard that he was going to be a grandfather, Zhu Feng blinked his eyes and seemed to wake up a little. He then hung his bare feet over the edge of the bed without saying a word. Nan Yan hurriedly asked someone to bring hot water, and he obediently put his feet in to wash.
Nan Yan was standing by, watching him doze off with his head down, then wake up again, blinking drowsily. She whispered, "Your Majesty, have you drunk a little too much tonight?"
Zhu Feng immediately shook his head: "I'm not drunk. I'm very sober."
"Awakening? Why did Awakening transfer the Taining and Fuyu Guards from far away Yongzhou to the northwest?"
“…”
"Even if we want to get them moving, the emperor is going to be too much of a hassle."
Hearing her say this, Zhu Feng turned to look at her, with a hint of alcohol still on his face. He raised his hand with a smile and gently touched Nan Yan's forehead with his index finger.
"You know shit."
Nan Yan rolled her eyes.
Judging from his appearance, he really drank a lot.
Although Zhu Feng came from a military background and liked to drink, he rarely got drunk like this. It was probably because it was a rare day for the whole family to get together, with his children and even his grandson being there. However, Nan Yan felt that what really made him happy seemed to be the civil unrest in Yue State.
She whispered, "The Emperor transferred the Taining and Fuyu Guards. Was it to reassure the people of Yue?"
Zhu Feng squinted his eyes and looked at her: "What are you worried about?"
"Don't worry about what the emperor wants to do."
"What's up?"
"That's what Guanzi once did."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng's drunken face suddenly froze, and his eyes suddenly became clear. He looked at Nan Yan: "How did you know?"
Nan Yan leaned against him and whispered, "Didn't the emperor tell me before that reading more books is good for you? He also asked me if I had read Guanzi. Later, I found a chance to read it."
After hearing her say that, Zhu Feng felt relieved.
He glanced at Nan Yan again and lowered his voice, "Just look at it, don't show it off."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I know."
Zhu Feng finally relaxed completely, his eyes narrowing again, and he began to stagger. Nan Yan leaned against him, half-supporting him, and whispered, "Although this is to make them relax their vigilance, but by transferring both the Taining and Fuyu Guards, isn't the Emperor afraid of something happening?"
Zhu Feng half-closed his eyes and said, "Nothing will happen."
"Why is the Emperor so confident?"
"Didn't I want to transfer the Jinyiwei over there?"
"Jinyiwei?"
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
You know, although the Jinyiwei were brave, they were only the emperor's trusted guards after all. To really fight in the battlefield, they still needed regular troops. Why was the Jinyiwei enough for the affairs of Yue?
Nan Yan said, "Then, of the four commanders, who will the emperor send?"
