Chapter 476: Letter from Wei
Yu Ziling nodded blankly without asking any more questions.
In fact, she had never thought that there would be a day when she would become someone else's concubine like those ordinary women, and would have to look at the face of the main wife, living in fear every day, worried about being bullied by others.
Moreover, this first wife was no ordinary person, but the emperor of the powerful Yan State in the north.
I hope this person is easy to get along with.
Yu Ziling sighed, and then began to look at the personnel information of Yu Ying’s army.
After lunch, there was no training yet, so Yu Ziling called all ten generals under her command.
Among these ten generals, five were her old subordinates and were very familiar to her, and the other five were from Yan and came from the Military Expedition Order.
The identities of the old Yan people and the surrendered generals naturally formed two factions.
The five old Yan people were naturally closer to Yang Hongying, while the five Qi generals naturally had a better relationship with Yu Ziling.
There are factions and cronies everywhere, whether it is in the court, the army, or among the people. This is inevitable.
What Shen Changgong has to do is to maintain checks and balances, not allowing any one faction to dominate, nor allowing factions to confront each other because of excessive chaos.
The person responsible for adjustment and integration was naturally given to Yu Ziling.
After all, she is the commander-in-chief of the Yuying Army.
In the afternoon, Yu Ziling was patrolling the military camp again and was busy all afternoon. Most of the soldiers of Yu Ying's army knew her and were very convinced of her.
The guilt and uneasiness these soldiers felt about surrendering before also weakened a lot.
After all, the Queen has surrendered and become a general of the Yan army, so why should we feel guilty?
This is called a wise man who knows the current affairs.
I swear to follow the queen until death, no, Yu Shuai!
In the evening, after a busy day, General Yu called Deputy General Yang over and said,
"I'm going back to the palace. I'll leave the barracks to you. I'll be back tomorrow morning."
Yang Hongying was surprised when she heard this.
"Ah? Why do you want to go back to the palace? Aren't you already the commander of the Yuying Army? You can live in the barracks. Are you not used to living in the barracks?"
"Well, I'm not used to it."
Yu Ziling's cheeks turned slightly red. She couldn't tell Yang Hongying that she had to go back every night, take off her clothes and stick out her butt.
It's so inappropriate for a general to use his body to serve men every day.
But if she doesn't go back, the bastard will come over and spank her little butt in front of all the soldiers.
There was no other way, she had to go back even if she had to grit her teeth.
After saying goodbye to Yang Hongying, Yu Ziling rode a horse and rushed back to the palace in Linzi with her guards.
After arriving at the palace, it was still light outside. Yu Ziling asked and found out that Shen Changgong was still in the imperial study, so she rode her horse directly to the door of the imperial study.
When she entered the imperial study, Yu Ziling saw Shen Changgong sitting on the dragon throne, with two women, one black and one white, on both sides. There were also some officials sitting in front of them discussing government affairs.
"Oh? Yu Shuai is here, come and sit down."
Shen Changgong smiled and waved at Yu Ziling.
The officials inside were a little embarrassed when they saw Yu Ziling, but they still stood up and saluted.
"Meeting General Yu."
In the past, they would shout "Greetings to the Empress".
"Hmm, huh? Master Liu?"
Yu Ziling was surprised when she saw Liu Fugui.
She was not very familiar with other officials, but she had met Liu Fugui many times. After all, Liu Fugui was a third-rank doctor and held a high position of power in the court.
Liu Fugui was also embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"Lord Liu, didn't you follow His Majesty to the south? Why are you here too?"
"Um... well... I was unlucky. I ran into the Zhennan Army..."
Liu Fugui wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He couldn't tell his former master's queen in front of her that he had always been an undercover agent.
If you make someone unhappy, you don't know how they will behave.
Shen Changgong smiled and said,
"Xiao Lingling, Lord Liu, like you, is from Qi. He is now a high-ranking official in Dayan. He plays a great role in stabilizing the people and counties of Qi. We still need to cooperate with him in the future."
"What are you yelling about?"
Yu Ziling was still wearing light armor, and her pretty face was slightly red, which created a huge contrast.
"Come and sit down, why are you standing?"
"Where should I sit? On your head?"
Yu Ziling rolled her eyes.
Gongsun Wan'er burst out laughing.
Shen Changgong moved aside, patted the dragon throne under him, and said,
"Sit here."
"you…!"
Yu Ziling took a deep breath and said,
"I'm going back to my bedroom."
At this moment, the guard outside the door came in and said,
"Your Highness, the messenger from the Kingdom of Wei has arrived, bringing a personal letter from the Emperor of Wei."
"Wei? Bring it in."
Hearing this, Yu Ziling became curious and stopped leaving.
The messenger is not an envoy, so he is naturally not qualified to enter the imperial study. Moreover, he is just a messenger and knows nothing.
Yan and Wei did not have formal diplomatic relations, and their relationship was not very good. It was good enough that they could exchange letters.
The guard came in with the letter. Tu Queling opened it directly, checked it, smelled it, and only handed it to Shen Changgong after making sure it was not poisoned.
"Are you always this careful?"
Yu Ziling asked while standing beside Shen Changgong.
"There are too many people in this world who want to kill me. If not ten thousand, there must be eight thousand. I can't be careless."
Shen Changgong took the letter and began to read it.
Yu Ziling stretched her neck and watched from the side.
Shen Changgong simply pulled her over and asked her to sit next to him, then held her in his arms and let her watch.
Yu Ziling's face turned red and she gave him a fierce look.
The letter stated that the Emperor of Wei said that Tong Xuan's claim that the Wei army attacked Xuzhou and killed the Emperor of Qi was completely false. The Wei State absolutely did not do this and it was all a frame-up by Tong Xuan.
The State of Wei also issued a solemn statement that it would never let this matter go and would make Tong Xuan give an explanation.
He also asked when the Yan army would send troops to attack Tong Xuan. At that time, the Wei army would go north to attack Xuzhou, and could attack Tong Xuan together with the Yan army from the north and south to destroy Tong Xuan.
At the end of the letter, it was stated that Wei and Yan had been friends for generations, and Wei hoped to have peaceful exchanges with Yan, establish friendly relations, send envoys to each other, open up border trade, and exchange what they have.
Shen Changgong put the letter on the table and Liu Fugui took it and read it.
It made him ponder.
After a moment, he turned to Yu Ziling beside him and asked with a smile,
"What does Xiao Lingling think about this?"
Xiao Lingling glared at him again and said,
"I think this matter is not as simple as it seems. Wei State seems to want to destroy Tong Xuan to redress the injustice, but in fact it wants to find a reason to send troops and intend to invade Xuzhou.
Although Tong Xuan is now guilty, no one recognizes him and says he is a traitor. If Wei sends troops to suppress the traitor, it will not be an invasion of Qi's territory.
Once they capture Xuzhou, they will stay put."
