Chapter 66
"What?!"
Shang Ruyi was shocked: "Are you going to attack Liaodong again?"
You must know that since the current emperor ascended the throne, he has taken several measures to exhaust the people's power. Among them, the most exorbitant and exorbitant levy, which made the people's livelihood miserable, was the Gouli Kingdom's conquest of Liaodong.
The Gouli Kingdom was originally a small country in Liaodong, and it had been subordinated to the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times. When the Daye Dynasty was first established, its leader had already presented his credentials to a vassal state, paid tribute and became a vassal, and never dared to neglect it. Therefore, the late emperor
Chu Yin also focused on appeasing Gouli and used less weapons.
However, after Chu Yang came to the throne, he used troops to conquer the Gouli country several times. Although the Gouli country was small, it was not willing to be outdone when it suffered such an unreasonable disaster. It simply used the strength of the whole country to resist. Although the Daye Dynasty had strong soldiers and horses, the Liaodong region
Due to its remote location and steep terrain, it was difficult for the imperial army to win in the expedition. Therefore, countless people were expended on the expedition to no avail, and it aroused countless people's resentment.
Therefore, when he heard that Liaodong was about to be invaded again, Shang Ruyi also frowned.
Before Yu Wenye could answer her, Yu Wenyuan sent someone to ask them to go to the study to talk and discuss the dispatch of troops this time. He also called Shang Ruyi.
So, the two of them tidied up their clothes and hurried to the study.
As soon as I approached the study, before I entered the door, I heard Yu Wenyuan's heavy voice coming from inside: "Your body can't act like this."
The footsteps of both of them stopped at the same time.
There was a slight cough in the study, and after a while, Guan Yunmu gasped and said: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to persuade me. Even if you persuade me, I will not listen."
Yu Wenyuan became anxious and said: "The country of Gouli is a land of poverty and hardship. Soldiers in the past have a hard time returning. If you go there with a body like yours, wouldn't it be——"
He couldn't even say the rest.
Compared to his eagerness, Guan Yunmu seemed very calm and said softly: "Don't argue with me about this. This is the emperor's will, and you can't resist it."
This time, the atmosphere in the study became heavier.
At this time, Yu Wenye walked in: "Father, mother."
Shang Ruyi also followed him into the study room. At a glance, he saw Yu Wenyuan sitting in a chair with a frown on his face, and Guan Yunmu sitting on the other side of the desk, his face pale and looking very weak.
As soon as he saw his son and daughter-in-law coming in, Yu Wenyuan immediately waved and said: "Ye'er, Ruyi, you came just in time, help me persuade your mother. I have been ordered to go on an expedition, but she has to go with me."
Yu Wenye frowned: "The emperor wants my father to go to Liaodong?"
Yu Wenyuan waved his hand and said: "It is not a war, but His Majesty has an order for me to go to the front line in western Liaoning to recruit military supplies."
"oh."
"But even so, the situation over there is very complicated, and your mother's body won't be able to withstand it!"
Yu Wenye thought for a while, turned to Guan Yunmu and said: "Mother, the army still needs some time to prepare. When the food and grass are ready and the army sets off, it will probably arrive in Liaodong at the end of October. The climate in Liaodong is different from that in the Central Plains.
It’s not the same, especially after winter, there will be a kind of icy rain, which is biting and cold, and it is difficult for ordinary people to resist. Mother’s body is really not suitable for going there at that time.”
Guan Yunmu said calmly: "I know, I don't need you scorpions to sting me."
She couldn't persuade her anymore.
Yu Wenyuan sighed: "Why don't you listen to my advice?"
Yu Wenye was silent for a while, and then said: "I still have something to discuss with my father. How about this, Ruyi, you can help your mother back to her room to rest first."
Shang Ruyi had been standing quietly aside. When he heard this, he immediately stepped forward: "Mom, let me help you go back to your room."
Guan Yunmu glanced at her, nodded, got up and walked out.
