Chapter 1160: Famous in History
Bai Zhi nodded, and with the movement of her head, tears fell on the back of her hand one by one.
She turned her hand over, took the teardrops with the palm of her hand, held them lightly with her fingers, and hid the wetness.
On the third day of August, Master Wu entered the capital. Their caravan team pa.s.sed by his house, but he turned a blind eye and led the team directly into the palace.
Chu Yan was meeting with the minister in the imperial study, and when he heard the announcement that Master Wu was outside the palace, he immediately announced him to enter the palace.
Master Wu brought the record of going to sea this time, as well as some gifts to the emperor and future empress.
Chu Yan praised him a lot. Seeing that the emperor was happy, Master Wu felt that the hard work and hard work of the past six months were not in vain.
After listening to some interesting overseas stories narrated by Master Wu, Chu Yan ordered him to compile a book about his experience of doing business in the sea, and draw a map of the sea area, so that the world can know the foreign area in detail.
Master Wu was overjoyed, he was going to be famous in history!
After Master Wu left, Chu Yan ordered Eunuch Fu to put the things left by Master Wu into the warehouse first and look at them when he was free.
The war in the Northwest broke out again, and the war was enough for him to have a headache. General Xiao led his troops to the Northwest, only at the beginning two victory reports were sent out, but later, the battle reports of repeated defeats were sent to him, and he was so angry. He wanted to go to war himself.
No one knows Xiye people better than him!
He doesn"t want to be the emperor at all, he prefers to gallop on the battlefield, shedding his sweat and blood.
But now, he has already sat in this seat.
Before becoming emperor, he thought that as long as he became emperor, he would be able to protect the people he wanted to protect, and he could do whatever he wanted.
But who knew that being an emperor would bring so much helplessness?
Every time he makes a decision, he has to weigh all the pros and cons, and he can"t do whatever he wants.
Because he was the emperor, his words and deeds represent the state of Chu, not just himself.
If it weren"t for the fact that his father was seriously ill two years ago and forced and entrust the Chu to him, he would never want to be the emperor no matter what.
What kind of emperor was he if he can"t even protect the woman he loves the most?
"Pa.s.s on the decree, Feng Zhougang the general of the North Campaign, to quickly leads the whole battalion of the Black Cavalry Battalion to aid the North. We must repel the Xiye army within fifteen days. There must be no mistakes!"
Zhou Gang and Fu Zheng were the two surviving generals at the time. Among them, Zhou Gang acted more prudently and used troops with restraint. It was most appropriate for him to lead the army to aid the North.
Zhou Gang set off on the same day and rushed to the northwest on the 5th. As soon as he arrived at the camp, he took over the military power of General Xiao, and he had full command and dispatch.
General Xiao was really suffering and couldn"t tell, so he could only knock down his front teeth and swallow blood.
Who made him lose one after another, at this time the emperor accepted his military power openly, what can he say?
When n.o.ble Concubine Xiao learned that her father"s military power had been dismissed, her usual arrogance dissipated a lot, and she didn"t dare to go out and simply stayed in her palace. Even with Chu Yan, she became a little quieter. Finally, he doesn"t have to see those disgusting things being sent to the imperial study every day.
Since General Xiao"s military power was taken away by Zhou Gang, there have been frequent reports, and all the civil and military courts in the dynasty praised Zhou Gang for using his troops like a G.o.d.
Praising Zhou Gang was equivalent to praising Chu Yan.
Zhou Gang was single-handedly promoted by him, and most of the way to use soldiers was learned from him. He can be regarded as half of Zhou Gang"s master.
With the victory in the Northwest War, half of Chu Yan"s troubles were gone. Only then did he remember the foreign things sent by Master Wu earlier, and asked Eunuch Fu to carry the box out.
A box full of gadgets, all weird things, can"t be called exquisite, at least compared to the craftsmanship of Chu State, they can be regarded as rough objects.
