After hearing the grandfather’s question, Yuchi Chifan was not panicked and pretended to be crazy and foolish: “What is the grandfather’s saying?”

"The escort business is really unheard of." Yuchi Jiong said this and added: "The escort business organizes armed escorts to pass through the state and the county. What does others think? Can the local officials of the court keep all the safety of the area?"

Who would believe this?

Yuchi Chifan thought so, but of course he didn't say it, so he could only explain it according to the topic: "Grandfather, a small vendor, can't afford to support a guard and have to go out to do business, but it's a life-and-death death."

"Small vendors, why are you running so far? The King of Xiyang is so short of money?"

"Who said no? But my grandfather knew that Huangzhou was narrow and had few people. He had no specialties before, and it was not a place where merchants gathered. If you want to raise soldiers, you had to find ways to make money and buy grain. In this way, you can only encourage business."

According to the pre-planned saying, Yuchi Chifan added another fire, which was called the tactic of hard-to-get: "Erlang was blown to Japan in the East China Sea by the wind. Now he is short of money and wants to send a fleet to the sea to sell goods to Japan."

This inside story was indeed beyond Yuchi Jiong's expectations. He was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses: "Water in the East China Sea? How do he go? Huangzhou is not by the sea."

"With the Yangtze River, a big ship can enter the sea by going downstream, but no one dares to go, so he is still thinking of a way."

"Is there still a way to find a way? If someone really dares to go, how will he pass through the Jiang section of the Chen State border?" Yuchi Jiong asked knowingly.

"Then spend money to buy the road. Chen Guobian collected the money and put it over a few ships. That's nothing. Grandfather, don't be surprised. In order to make money, Erlang had to do some small business with the merchants in Jiangnan."

Yuchi Jiong was speechless, but his granddaughter did not hide anything. Yuwen Wen was suspected of having an affair with the enemy country in doing business. He had heard many people talk about this, but it was difficult to take any measures to stop it.

He was dismissed from office and was arrested for the capital, and was sent to the Qiu government prison and waited for his death?

If there is really a stir, Yuwen Wen can make a fuss and say he wants to raise soldiers but lacks money, but he does not want to increase the burden on the court, so he can only "find a way".

Huangzhou and several surrounding states cannot afford to support too many soldiers by their own efforts, but they are bordered by Chen State. It is not wrong to confront the two countries on the front line.

Yuchi Jiong sent someone to Huangzhou to investigate carefully. There was no sign of selling the copper and iron from Dayejian to the State of Chen. As for the grain, it was indeed not abundant, let alone for sale.

Huangzhou secretly sold things from Chen State, probably mainly cloth and books. It is a bit reluctant to say that it is a big deal. If you are not allowed to do it, if Yuwen Wen rolls around and asks the court for money, it will be extremely helpless.

Others may not dare, but Yuchi Jiong is sure that Yuwen Wen can do such a thing, so after carefully investigating it, he pretended that he had not seen it or heard of it.

Anyway, there are few cavalrymen, so you can't cause any storm!

"Grandfather, the granddaughter is not very clear about the specific matters. If the court thinks it is inappropriate, then what should it do, so as not to upset my grandfather."

"It's annoying, of course, but if you don't allow it, who knows what your husband has come up with? Well? Japan sends envoys to the court every year. Isn't this all your husband provoked?"

Yuchi Chifan smiled and helped his grandfather beat his legs. Things were over like this. Yuchi Jiong didn't expect to hear any useful news from his granddaughter, it was nothing more than knocking.

After saying so many words at once, Yuchi Jiong felt tired and closed his eyes to rest. Yuwen Weicheng was now holding a night pearl and kept playing with it. The gift given to him by his great-grandfather was so rare.

"My grandma, why doesn't this bead shine?"

"Night Pearl, of course, will only brighten at night."

Yuchi Chifan held his son in his arms and stopped talking to his grandfather. Yuchi Jiong was in poor spirits and was now closing his eyes to rest, so she couldn't interrupt her.

After arriving in the capital, Yuchi Chifan learned that his grandfather was not in good health, so he did not rush to visit the Shu Palace. It was not until the mansion set a date that he brought his son to see his great-grandfather.

At the beginning of this year, Yuchi Jiong suddenly fell seriously ill and was even unconscious for a short period of time. He almost couldn't bear it. Fortunately, the imperial physicians tried all their skills and did not know how many good medicines they used to save their lives.

Yuchi Jiong was old and had already had a serious illness a few years ago. After this trouble, although he had been through it safely, the people around him realized that things were not good: the Prime Minister was afraid that there would be no time left.

How long can I last? I don’t know, for the old man, autumn and winter are the gates of hell. Now that the Prime Minister has survived a winter, I think he can last until the end of the year.

This is also the reason why I hurriedly organized a wedding for the emperor. After all, the longer it delayed, the greater the variables, which could be regarded as fulfilling the Prime Minister's wish.

How should I arrange my affairs after death? No one dared to mention it, but Yuchi Jiong seemed to realize this and had already started the preparations. Yuchi, the prince of Shu, has begun to take over the daily affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The army that attacked Shu had already set out from Chang'an last month. I think it would be clear within half a year. As for the Southern Dynasty, I'm afraid that Yuchi Jiong would not be able to see the day when he would Ping Chen.

For the past month, Yuchi Jiong has often fallen into memories, lying on a novel recliner, often falling asleep while shaking. On several occasions, his family even thought he was away.

Yuchi Chifan, who has not seen him for many years, brought his great-grandson Yuwen Weicheng whom he had never met before to visit relatives. Yuchi Jiong was quite happy because he remembered the time he had seen the young Yuwen Weicheng again.

Among the old friends in Beizhen, the older ones were already dead, and the younger brother Yuchi Gang, who was younger than him, also took the lead. Li Mu, who was entangled with grudges, had no chance to argue again, but he had no chance to make a decision.

The Six Towns Rebellion changed the fate of all the townsmen. He Liuhun (Gao Huan), who was just a small messenger, became the prime minister of the government and the opposition, and then became the creator of a country; and his uncle Yuwen Tai became the creator of another country.

Li Hu, the son of Li Zhuangzhu, Dugu Ruyuan (Dugu Xin), the son of Dugu Tangmin, Zhao Gui, Hou Mo Chen Chong, who was born in a good family, became the fifth of the Eight Pillar Kingdom of the Western Wei Dynasty together with Yuwen Tai. These people from Wuchuan Town finally made their debut.

Yang Zhong, who also came from Wuchuan Town, his son Yang Jian seized power as a relative, and Yuchi Jiong, who also came from Wuchuan Town, took back the country. Yuwen, his cousin, who had been herding sheep together in the past, and his great-grandson was in front of him.

The tiredness surged, Yuchi Jiong opened his eyes hard and looked at Yuwen Weicheng, the prince of the King of Xiyang. This was his great-grandson. Half of the blood on his body belonged to the Yuchi family. This was the result of the marriage between the two families, and soon, the two families would marry again.

I just hope that it can continue for generations...

"Great-grandfather, my grandson has something unknown, I want to...uh..."

"Oh, I'm very vocal. What's wrong with Katsura, I'm not sure about it, I'll say it."

"Have my great-grandfather ever been to Yinshan?"

When Yuchi Jiong heard this, he was stunned. The Princess of Shu, who had just approached, happened to hear this question and said with a smile: "Silly child, your great-grandfather grew up at the foot of Yinshan Mountain."

"Ah, is that in Wuchuan?"

Yuchi Chifan quickly explained: "Of course, your great-grandfather is also in Wuchuan, and he is a cousin with your great-grandfather."

"Ah, then, will the great-grandfather sing that song?"

Yuchi Jiong became interested: "That song? Which song? Jilang sang it to his great-grandfather?"

"Uh...well." Yuwen Weicheng looked at his mother, nodded when he saw him, and then he mustered up the courage to sing.

"Chile River, under Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering all fields..."

The young childish voice sounded, and the familiar lyrics made Yuchi Jiong stunned. Suddenly, he felt a flash in front of him. He returned to his hometown Wuchuan, on the endless grassland, and was grazing sheep with his younger brother Yuchi Gang.

I couldn't help but sing: "The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep..."

This song is called "Chi Lechuan", which is a folk song that everyone is familiar with. No matter whether they have a high or low status, they can sing it.

At that time, Gao Huan, the Prime Minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, personally led troops to besiege Yubi City. After dozens of days of attack, not only could not be captured, but the losses were heavy. Gao Huan, who was helpless, summoned all the generals in the tent to drink to drown his sorrows.

It is said that Gao Huan sang "Chi Lechuan", and the more he sang, the more sad he felt, which made the soldiers cry.

At this time, Yuchi Jiong was singing "Chi Lechuan" with his great-grandson. When he recalled the past again, he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Great-grandfather, Jilang doesn't want this night pearl."

"Why don't Jiro don't?"

"There is an eternal light at home, this night pearl, which the great-grandfather can use to illuminate when reading books at night."

"Hahahaha, okay, okay, my great-grandfather accepted it."

Seeing that his grandfather was in poor spirits, Yuchi Chifan seemed to be more sad when he sang the song, so he quickly took his son to leave. After Wang ordered someone to send him out, he came to Yuchi Jiong and asked, "Your Majesty, why not go back to your room to rest."

"No, it's great here."

Wang sat down aside, Yuchi Jiong closed his eyes, held the night pearl in one hand, and lay on the recliner humming songs gently.

"Chile River, under Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering all fields..."

"The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows..."

Uncle, I have saved the Yuwen family's country...

My father, the descendants of the Yuchi family, are already rich and noble...

I have no regrets...

The voice came to an abrupt end, Yuchi Jiong stopped singing, his smile froze on his face. Wang, who was standing beside him, signaled the maid to come forward: "The king is asleep again, take the screen to block the wind."
