The devil is coming

Chapter 489
As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger;
For an emperor, some of his habits and habits must be understood by the people below, otherwise the country's policies will not be able to continue smoothly, and it will be difficult for his subordinates to be efficient when doing things for him.
But at the same time, the emperor cannot be penetrated, because the emperor is only one person. As the saying goes, he needs to face the entire outer dynasty alone, and completely following the rules means that he is not far away from being ignored.
however,
No one thought of it,
At this point in the family dinner,
Emperor Yan would suddenly raise such a question.
Let the prince directly tell him what his sins are.
To know,
The prince is the foundation of the country, and the foundation of the country needs to be maintained.
This time, in front of all the brothers, asking him to confess his sins, is this asking the prince to destroy his own foundation?
What would the other princes think?
Uncle Zheng was sitting upright. He knew that he had no place to speak here at this time because he was a foreign minister and also a leading general.
Regardless of whether you are a "Sixth Party member" or not, you must not show it clearly in front of His Majesty.
Didn't you see that Master Zaifu remained motionless at this time and did not stand up to plead for the prince's mercy?
The benefits of the family banquet can be seen here. If all the civil and military officials of the court were sitting here at this time, when His Majesty questioned the prince like this, a group of ministers would definitely stand up to defend the prince or excuse him. Please calm down your anger.
Because safeguarding the foundation of the country is the instinct of ministers and the cornerstone of maintaining the integrity of the monarch and his ministers, at that time, Zhao Jiulang, as the head of the officials, must speak out.
right now,
He just silently put the half glass of wine left in his hand into his mouth, then picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, put it into his mouth and pressed it, then put down his chopsticks, put his hands down, and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had already With this glass of wine, I feel transcendent.
Uncle Zheng silently learned this action,
His hands were slightly clenched,
Put it in front of the abdomen,
Eyes blurred,
Out of the world.
The two of them sat together, and almost immediately, they began to feel fairy-like together.
For those who don’t know, they would think that Dayan’s Prime Minister and Dayan’s youngest military Earl were both Qi Practitioners.
And the prince at the center of the storm,
He himself didn't seem to be too panicked.
I saw him kowtow silently again,
Slowly straighten up.
There is a saying that goes well, if the king wants his ministers to die, the ministers will have to die.
And between the prince and the emperor, in addition to the monarch and his ministers, there is also a father-son relationship. Under the dual principles, as a prince, you have no reason to resist at all.
"My son is guilty, and he is responsible for three things."
The prince began to state his accusations.
Behind him, the fourth prince, fifth prince, sixth prince and seventh prince were still kneeling there, all with their foreheads on the ground. At this time, the right way was not to let the fire burn themselves;
Even Xiao Qi, who usually likes to behave in front of his father, didn't dare to raise his head and show his cute smile at this time.
"The first crime of a son-in-law is that he has made no contribution to state affairs. Now, although our great Yan has devoured the land of Jin, its treasury is empty and Yin eats nothing. This is the crime of a son-in-law."
Upon hearing this guilt,
The fourth and fifth boys who were kneeling in a row turned their heads slightly to look at the sixth boy who was also kneeling.
Xiao Qi didn't know why her brothers were all looking at Brother Six, but she still turned her head and looked at Brother Six.
Everyone knows that Hubu is now Ji Laoliu's territory.
When the prince talks about the treasury, it's hard not to make people think that he cares about something.
But Ji Chengjue remained as motionless as a mountain.
Because he doesn't need to explain to others what the specific situation of the treasury is, and he can't explain it to others, because there are many idiots in this world.
He just needs his father to know the difference between the treasury with Ji Laoliu and without him.
prior to,
The swallows swallowed up the land of the three Jin Dynasties. If we adopt plundering measures, imitating the barbarians or the Chu people, there will be no burden at all. The army can scrape the land on the spot if it needs it, and even draw blood from the Jin region to transport the swallows continuously. land.
But what his father wanted was long-term peace and stability in the Jin region, and to permanently incorporate the Jin region into Dayan's territory. This seemed to be just a change in policy, but in fact it was a change from net income to net expenditure.
From being able to suck blood, it has become a blood transfusion. Not to mention, it also has to bear the military needs of your various garrisons in Jin.
Furthermore,
Starting from the southward attack, the original business environment suddenly deteriorated rapidly. In the past, Dayan occupied a position at the junction of the east and the west, and people could make money by changing hands. Now, it is not that easy.
At the same time, my father and I have stepped on the throne, which must be a magnificent event in the history books, but everything was done too hastily. After the horse stepped on the throne, a war started immediately. Dayan was like stabbing himself twice. With this opportunity, It hurts so much that I immediately go to fight with others.
The fight was won, but the clans were an important part of Dayan's economy, politics, and culture. Regardless of the pros and cons for the country, people accounted for at least [-]% of the share.
This radical method of reform with a knife directly discounted the original economic production and operation in Dayan.
in short,
The deterioration of the business environment has caused Dayan's original trade income to drop sharply. The huge Jin land has become a huge burden, coupled with its own deficit and disorder.
If his father hadn't known that Dayan's finances would collapse if things continued like this, how could he have allowed himself, the chief police officer of Nan'an County, to be re-promoted to manage the treasury?
It was such a mess. It took me more than a year to make the livelihood of the people of Dayan relatively stable, although it was more difficult than before. Although the treasury said that Yin had to eat a lot of food, when Mao Mingcai made a promise to repair the Wangjiang River, the court could still squeeze out some more to invest. .
Ji Chengjue felt that he had done a good job, and if it were anyone else, there would be no way he could back up his father's "grand plan for hegemony".
"The second crime of sons and ministers is that they failed to serve their mother attentively at their knees, causing her mother to die prematurely. They are unfilial to their sons, and their sons and ministers are guilty."
Hearing this "Guilty Two",
The row of princes kneeling behind them, except Xiao Qi, all looked up in astonishment at the prince kneeling at the front.
Including Ji Chengjue.
Ji Laoliu didn't think that the prince's use of the treasury was aimed at him, because he was taking the blame for his father in this matter, and taking the blame would be a slap in his father's face.
Now it seems,
Indeed it is,
The prince is not targeting himself;
This is directed at my father!
The queen passed away suddenly, and it was announced that she died of illness, but what was the cause?
It was the Marquis of Jingnan who destroyed his whole family!
Everyone present would not believe that Emperor Yan did not know what Marquis Jingnan was going to do at Tian's house that night.
But that's it,
Emperor Yan still allowed the queen to go home to visit the bride!
After that day, the queen became frightened and became ill, sometimes sober and sometimes crazy. As the mother of a country, she ended up in such a situation. For her, living was probably even more of a torture.
"The three sins of my son are: first, he is not loved by his father; middle, he is not supported by all officials; third, he is not trusted by his brothers. I am ashamed of my position in the East Palace.
My son is guilty,
For my great Yan, I will plan for thousands of generations,
Please resign from the East Palace position! "
finished,
The prince took off the gold-rimmed flying dragon hat on his head that symbolized the prince, placed it in front of him, and bowed down.
currently,
Uncle Zheng couldn't control himself anymore.
He really didn't expect,
I originally thought that Emperor Yan's sudden interrogation was the biggest boulder hitting him, but who would have expected that the prince's attack would be even more ruthless.
This prince's position,
He won't sit down!
Uncle Zheng instinctively wanted to see Ji Laoliu's reaction, but Ji Laoliu was trembling.
Yes,
shivering,
Not trembling with excitement,
Instead, he gritted his teeth,
he,
in fear.
Although everyone knows that in Yanjing today, Ji Laoliu's "Sixth Party" is competing with the prince for the position of the country's foundation. Logically speaking, if the prince is expelled from the East Palace, it is almost certain that Lao Liu will take over.
The boss married a barbarian princess, and now he is lucky enough to continue to get the opportunity to lead troops.
The third child is useless;
After the fourth child lost the support of the Deng family, he was extremely depressed and still has no hope of coming back.
Lao Wu is the most ordinary, and has never made any sound.
Xiao Qi is too young. Unless Emperor Yan can live a long life and support Xiao Qi, otherwise he will have no chance of being in that position.
Uncle Zheng slowly glanced at Zaifu, who was sitting next to him.
It was discovered that Zhao Jiulang was still "cultivating immortality".
Uncle Zheng really wanted to remind him:
Hey, you are the prime minister, why did you pretend you didn’t hear the prince’s resignation?
But Zhao Jiulang really pretended not to hear it.
Zhao Jiulang didn't speak, so he naturally had no role for Uncle Zheng to speak. After a while, Uncle Zheng adjusted his breathing and continued to meditate;
When you don’t know how to get through the swamp ahead,
It's ok,
You are right to follow the seniors.
Emperor Yan's eyes fell on the prince and he remained silent for a long time.
in fact,
The three major sins of the prince,
Rather than saying it belongs to the prince, it is better to say that it belongs to him, the emperor.
The national treasury was in short supply because of his great achievements and continuous campaigns;
The queen's death was due to his lack of pity for his wife.
There were even rumors among the people that the Queen's death was too sudden and strange. What's more, it was speculated that His Majesty was paving the way for the Sixth Prince. Otherwise, how could we explain the coincidence that the Queen died immediately after the Sixth Prince's wedding?
As for the third article,
The reason why the prince does not get the love of his father, the support of the ministers, and the love of his brothers is because the prince's position in the East Palace is a sign.
And this signboard was erected by the emperor.
The position of the East Palace is a great honor, but it is also a huge constraint.
I was established by you. After you established it, you pulled another brother up to beat me. Do you blame me?
Throughout the ages,
Have you ever heard of a few powerful princes?
It is true that the prince's words may sound a bit unreasonable at first, but it is indeed the case.
If he were the princess now, the Tian family would still be there, and the queen mother would still be there.
Among them, outside, there are the two princes from the north and the south to echo;
There is support from the identity of the eldest son.
He was simply invincible. No matter how hard Ji Laoliu tried, he would never threaten his position.
And these were actually cut by his father himself.
pull me up,
Then cut off my branches and leaves,
Ask me again what my sin is,
Why!
Why don't you just make Lao Liu the prince?
After the horse has stepped on the family, you only need to say that the virtuous are not established, and the civil and military officials of the dynasty are full of people. Who dares to object?
No one could have expected that the prince, who had been depressed for a long time, would explode at this moment.
Emperor Yan's eyes slowly darkened,
Coughed twice,
Wei Zhonghe immediately served tea beside him.
Emperor Yan's face showed a hint of exhaustion.
But the tiger was not dead, and no one dared to touch its beard even if it showed signs of fatigue.
Moreover, old tigers are even more terrifying.
"Prince, do you know what your biggest crime is?"
"Please make it clear, Father."
“As a king, you should have an indomitable will and have the strength to make the world collapse and become independent.
Because your ministers, your brothers, and your people are all watching you. You cannot be cowardly, and you are not worthy of being cowardly.
In other words,
The ministers can surrender, the people can surrender,
For the king,
Who should I bow to?
This is the dragon chair. If you sit on it, you will be a single man. Apart from dying on this chair, any way you get off this chair will be a dead end!
My prince,
The crown prince of Dayan,
How can it be so fragile?
How dare you be so cowardly! "
Uncle Zheng felt in his heart that His Majesty was really inhumane. This kind of education method, which was like raising worms, was really destructive to children.
But no one in this world dares to teach His Majesty the art of parenting.
"Are they all dead? Put your second brother's hat back on him."
Emperor Yan was angry.
Because the meaning of Emperor Yan's words was to let the prince help the prince put it on, Wei Zhonghe did not step forward.
Naturally, there is no such thing as the immortal duo next to them.
however,
The fourth prince continued to kneel on the ground and did not move.
The fifth prince continued to kneel on the ground and did not move.
Xiao Qi stood up obediently. His mother and concubine often told him that he must listen to his father and do whatever he calls him.
So, he ran forward and picked up the hat next to the prince.
When he was about to put it on for his brother the prince,
He also specifically turned to look at his father,
He expected to see praise for himself from his father's eyes,
My brothers are disobedient, Xiao Qi, shall I be good?
however,
He saw deep anger in his father's eyes.
Xiao Qi suddenly felt difficulty breathing, immediately dropped his hat and knelt down.
As a son of the Tian family, no matter how young you are, you still have an innate instinct.
Xiao Qi now understood why the other brothers were kneeling motionless.
scene,
I felt awkward all of a sudden.
at last,
Ji Chengjue stood up.
He didn't know whether this was an outburst of the prince's self-abasement or a way of retreating into advancement;
Anyway,
Ji Chengjue is panicking now.
Yes,
He is very useful now,
Usually, I can also use some of my own uses to make some bargains with my father. Both father and son are well aware of the transactions.
But the father is the father after all, and he clearly knows how proud his father is in his heart.
Father, I will never surrender to anyone.
Once it comes to big issues of right and wrong, you must not rely on your own usefulness to instigate the dignity of an emperor.
This is a single husband.
After having a son,
Ji Laoliu felt that he was very scared to death.
fear death,
Nothing to be ashamed of,
For example, the man named Zheng sitting next to him,
He has always spoken openly about fear of death.
Even when he entered the capital, he took the Sword Master with him and brought him to the palace gate. If Wei Zhonghe hadn't intercepted the Sword Master and made other arrangements, he might even have brought the Sword Master to Chunfang Palace!
The other brothers did not move;
It's because they know
Who did the father ask to help the prince put on this hat?
The prince took off his hat, which was equivalent to moving his position in the East Palace.
Whoever is most likely to take over the East Palace will pick it up.
He picked it up not to wear it on his own head, but to put it back on the prince's head.
This is telling you clearly,
Prince,
It was established by him, the Emperor of Yan,
Without his permission,
If you don’t want to be a prince, it’s impossible!
Even if you want to be a prince, it's impossible!
Ji Chengjue walked to the prince's side and knelt down.
Pick up the hat that fell on the ground,
reach out,
Dusted off the dust on his head,
Then very solemnly,
He put the hat on the prince's head.
The two looked at each other,
In the prince's eyes, there was no joy or success, but only peace.
Ji Chengjue discovered that since the queen passed away, every time he saw the prince, he seemed to have this expression.
Ji Laoliu has no mercy;
We are all fish in the pond, both biting the hook deliberately thrown by the father. Who needs to pity whom?
At last,
Ji Chengjue faced Emperor Yan,
Kneel down.
Uncle Zheng looked at the scene happening in front of him. This is the Tian family, the most primitive ecology. To use a postmodernist term to describe it, the desire for power has distorted the family ethics of their family.
If you can,
Uncle Zheng really wanted to take out his drawing board and oil paints and make a painting at this time.
Draw the expression of Emperor Yan, the expression of the prince, the expression of Ji Chengjue, and then the expressions of the other princes below;
of course,
I and Zaifu, who are sitting with me, should also be painted together. As outsiders, they can provide a second perspective for those who will appreciate the painting in the future.
Such as,
Pay attention to the two people sitting with you. Pay attention to their eyes and expressions. What can you tell from them?
In Europe, there is actually a similar painting.
But Uncle Zheng felt that the painting was too simple and too straightforward. It was so straightforward that it could only make people smile knowingly, which was inferior.
Uncle Zheng exhaled slightly,
He glanced at the "fellow Taoist" beside him again,
It was found that Zhao Jiulang was doing the same action.
Simultaneously,
His eyes also glanced towards him.
To be honest,
Uncle Zheng couldn't read what Zhao Jiulang meant in his eyes.
At the same time, Uncle Zheng believed that Zhao Jiulang also failed to capture the meaning in his eyes.
Because he's not interesting at all.
At this time,
Emperor Yan spoke:
"Purpose."
Wei Zhonghe immediately prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then personally sent it to Zhao Jiulang's table, removed the food and wine from the table, and spread the imperial edict and pen and ink on it.
Lord Zaifu was present and the edict was drafted, so naturally it was his own handwriting.
"My dragon body is not in good condition and I am afraid that I will delay the affairs of the state. Therefore, from today on, I will order the prince to supervise the country, lead the cabinet, and handle government affairs. I appreciate this."
Zhao Jiulang wrote hard and fast.
Uncle Zheng noticed that Zhao Jiulang wrote much more words than Emperor Yan spoke.
This is the basic skill. The emperor can speak concisely and comprehensively, but when you write an imperial edict, you must add some official clichés and beautiful words to fill it in. If there are too few words, how can you let the officials below figure it out and learn from it?
After Zhao Jiulang finished writing, he put down the pen, picked up the imperial edict, blew lightly, checked it, and put it down again.
Wei Zhonghe immediately took out the big seal and came over to seal it.
Generally speaking, the emperor's will must go through the court meeting, but this generation of Emperor Yan was really too powerful, and his will was the will of Dayan's heaven.
Since then, the prince has officially taken charge of the country and oversees government affairs.
next moment,
Uncle Zheng's urge to bring up his old profession of painting appeared again, and it was so strong.
Ji Laoliu moved his knees to face the prince;
The fourth prince, fifth prince and seventh prince also moved their knees to face the prince.
All the princes knelt down together,
With a smile on his face,
Said in unison:
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for supervising the country."
At this time,
Uncle Zheng saw it,
Emperor Yan, who is sitting in the first seat,
There was also a fatherly smile on his face.
This picture,
Breathtakingly beautiful.
……
The banquet is over.
Uncle Zheng was escorted out of the palace by Wei Zhonghe himself.
When leaving, Wei Zhonghe said:
"Uncle Zheng, the princess will stay at Concubine Qin's place today, uncle, you can rest assured."
The princess is canonized today, and the princess needs to stay in the palace for one night, in order to show the Xiong family that the Ji family has not treated his daughter badly, and is thoughtful in terms of etiquette.
After all, Uncle Zheng does not have a mansion in the capital;
In fact, the implication of these words is that before Uncle Zheng leaves the capital, the princess basically has to be in the palace. Fortunately, Uncle Zheng will not be in the capital for too long, maybe only three or four days. After all, He still needs to be in charge of Xue Customs.
Uncle Zheng knew that it would not be a big problem even if he was not at Xue Customs. After all, Liang Cheng was here, but outsiders didn't know.
"Where are you going to stay tonight, uncle?"
Before Uncle Zheng could answer, Wei Zhonghe said again:
"Previously, the Ministry of Works had submitted a proposal to build an Earl's Mansion in Beijing, but His Majesty rejected it. His Majesty said at that time, His Highness the Sixth Prince's house is very big anyway, and you don't live there permanently, so building a Earl's Mansion temporarily is not practical. It’s too extravagant and wasteful.”
"Thank you, father-in-law, I understand."
Uncle Zheng originally planned to stay with the Sixth Prince.
how to say,
Based on his relationship with Ji Chengjue,
There is really no need to cover it up, no one will believe it even if it is covered up.
Wei Zhonghe is gone,
for a while,
Ji Chengjue also came out, with Eunuch Zhang at his side.
Xiao Qi is still raised in the palace, and the fourth and fifth children will not go through this door when they return to the prince's mansion.
Seeing Zheng Fan, Ji Chengjue bit his lip, took a deep breath, and smiled;
"Let's go and see my new home."
Uncle Zheng got on the carriage,
Eunuch Zhang drove the car.
Once entering the carriage,
Ji Chengjue's face first showed a ferocious look, then a look of anger, and then a look of grievance.
Uncle Zheng said directly:
"You don't feel uncomfortable doing this, but you make me feel really uncomfortable."
Ji Chengjue raised his hand,
Road:
"No, it's just that before you weren't around, I wanted to be natural without pretending, and I didn't know who to show it to. Now that you are sitting in front of me, I want to be natural and show my true emotions, but I found that I am not used to it."
"You've been wearing the mask for too long and you can't take it off anymore."
"There you go again, that's a damn apt metaphor."
"Ha ha."
"How is it? Do you enjoy watching this good show?"
"tired."
"tired?"
"More tiring than fighting outside."
"There's nothing we can do. We've had to live like this since we were kids."
Uncle Zheng said: "The prince is in charge of the country."
"Ah."
"Did he do it on purpose?"
"You mean that the prince is taking retreat as a means of advancing?" Ji Chengjue asked.
Uncle Zheng nodded.
Ji Chengjue waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. His father is pushing him. Whether he wants to stand or lie down is the same result."
"Too."
"Supervise the country, just supervise the country. Thinking about it, my father probably felt that I had been too strong in the past six months and had suppressed the East Palace too hard, so he stepped down personally to balance the situation.
It's difficult. It's normal for brothers to fight with each other. What they fear most is that a father can't handle a bowl of water equally. "
"Why do you feel that when you are in this capital city, it seems like the thunder is heavy and the rain is light."
"So, I will never be reincarnated as a prince in my next life. No matter where I am, I will have to be cautious. You are free."
"My freedom has nothing to do with you. The soldiers under my command can't help you. At most, if you feel that you can't play anymore, you can bring your wife and children to my side.
If the price offered by the prince is not sincere enough, I will not hand you over. "
"Thank you. I'm really touched."
"Ha ha."
"By the way, aren't you full just now?"
"Yes." Uncle Zheng nodded, "I just focused on cultivating immortality with Zhao Jiulang."
"I'm not full either. I'll go back later and let Sisi cook some dishes herself, and we'll have a good drink."
"it is good."
The carriage quickly drove into the sixth prince's residence.
After getting off the carriage and walking into the back house, He Sisi came out to greet him personally and gave Uncle Zheng a blessing.
Road:
"I've met Uncle Hirano."
"I've met my siblings."
Ji Chengjue on the side rolled his eyes at Zheng Fan and said:
"What about the face?"
"I was already older than you."
"I am the prince."
"The prince who picks up hats?"
"..." Ji Chengjue.
He Sisi covered her mouth and smiled, saying:
"Knowing that Uncle Hirano will be here today, I've already stewed the soup in advance, so I'm going to stir-fry some vegetables."
"It's time for my brothers and sisters."
The servants came up and set a small table.
The eating place is in a place that looks like a house or a pavilion. It is surrounded by flowing water on three sides and planted with green bamboos. It is very fresh and elegant.
Ji Chengjue said with some pride:
"Well, isn't this place nice?"
Uncle Zheng nodded and said:
"It's easy to attract mosquitoes."
Ji Chengjue picked up the teacup and said, "I thought my father would ask you about the war in Jin during the banquet."
"Where is the war in Jin?"
"Should we attack Qian first or Chu first? My father's original intention is to attack Qian in two years at the latest."
"Just hit that one, it doesn't matter to me anyway." Zheng Fan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with some surprise: "Daze Xiangton?"
Ji Chengjue raised his head and looked at Zheng Fan,
scolded:
"What kind of luxurious life are you living in Xueguan?"
You must know that he only had this little amount of tea, and he was reluctant to drink it on weekdays. When Zheng Fan came, he ordered someone to brew it and bring it to him.
"Drink it as herbal tea."
Uncle Zheng smiled and drank the tea in the cup.
"Seriously, the imperial court's income this year will have to be supplemented by your Xue Customs. The goods you make can really be sold for money."
"No problem, the workshops should be all built, and output will be available soon."
"Well, whatever you lack or need, I will try my best to satisfy you. Anyway, my relationship with you is here, and I don't care what other people say.
In addition, you have married a princess this time and are famous enough that no one has the nerve to gossip anymore. In the final analysis, you are the one who knows how to do business. "
"Look at what you said, the princess and I truly love each other and are happy with each other."
"..." Ji Chengjue.
"By the way, do I have to go see the prince tomorrow? He has become a prisoner today. I'm afraid that if I go to the East Palace tomorrow, outsiders will think that I want to change the family, which will be detrimental to you. I'm afraid that I will short-sell you."
"Short selling? Is it demoralizing me?"
"Yes, it will destroy the morale of your Sixth Master Party."
"If the prince doesn't send someone to look for you, you don't have to go. No one can comfort him as well as the comfort from my father."
"That's the truth. Let me go to Huxin Pavilion tomorrow to meet the Third Prince. His Majesty gave me the sign for entering and exiting Huxin Pavilion a long time ago. I have never used it once."
"It's rare that you still have such a heart. How could you be so cruel in the first place?"
said,
Ji Chengjue picked up the chopsticks,
Poke down,
Road:
"Snapped!"
Uncle Zheng shook his head,
Also picked up the chopsticks,
Poke downward twice.
Road:
"It should be...'pa', 'pa'."
"Hey, third brother has been admiring the snow at Huxinting Pavilion for three years."
"You should have written a lot of good poems."
"No matter what you do, it's not as good as your joke about drinking Yan slave's blood when you're thirsty."
"It's obviously the blood of barbarian slaves, or the blood of wild slaves. Why does your majesty know this poem too?"
"Father likes it very much."
"Your Majesty is still very discerning."
"After dinner, I'll take you to see my son. As a godfather, you can't run away."
"I won't help you take care of the children."
"What's the matter, you are willing to help Marquis Jingnan take care of the children but you are not willing to help me take care of the children?"
"Different."
"What's the difference? Just raise him as Marquis Jingnan's child."
"Ha ha."
Uncle Zheng burst into laughter.
Other children's lives are not so hard.
"Besides, that's the last situation. You just called Sisi sister-in-law. You took advantage of it. You can't show it at all."
"Ugh."
"If the day comes that I entrust it to someone else, I won't worry."
"It's not easy to get together once, don't say these unlucky words. I hope that next time I come to Beijing, I will come to help you fight for the throne and not to collect your corpse."
"Will you come and help me collect the body?"
"Yes, this can show the world that I, Uncle Pingye, are kind and righteous. After collecting the corpse, it will not be too late to worship the new emperor."
"brute."
"Ah."
"Actually, which one I, Dayan, will attack first does not depend on my father, but on Marquis Jingnan. As long as there is a fight on Marquis Jingnan's side, it is impossible for me, Dayan, not to support it.
I know what the biggest problem you are facing in Xueguan is the room for development. To the north is the snowfield, to the south is Zhennanguan. As long as you break through Zhennanguan and enter Chu, the situation will be completely solved. opened. "
Uncle Zheng shook his head.
"Why, no?"
"You can do business, but you can't fight. My biggest problem now is time. Give me another three years, and I will build the Snow Customs and expand my troops from [-] to [-]. I will expand blindly. , will lead to unstable foundation;
Even the Marquis of Jingnan had a background in the Jingnan Army from the beginning, and it took him more than ten years to personally train him.
in addition,
Zhennanguan is not that easy to fight. Under Yupan City, we took such a big advantage because the Chu people themselves were in internal strife and had no time to take care of the outside world. In addition, the main force of the barbarians was defeated too simply, resulting in the lone army hanging outside.
But now Chu people will not make that mistake again,
A Zhennan Pass,
There were tens of thousands of defenders.
Behind it and on both wings were stationed more than [-] imperial imperial troops of Chu.
Once the war begins, reinforcements from Da Chu will continue to gather at Zhennanguan.
Thanks to your father's imperial power, it is impossible for the Chu nobles to let me, Dayan, take control of the Chu land. In fact, the situation in Chu is very similar to that of our Dayan. We will be tied up in foreign wars, but when we protect ourselves, we will Extremely positive.
Therefore,
We need to attack Zhennanguan.
It is necessary to build a large camp and a large number of siege equipment.
Just for the auxiliary soldiers and civilians, no less than 30 people would be needed, which was underestimated. Moreover, the war would be protracted. The army needed to siege the city every day, which was a huge amount.
This is different from the time when the two princes from the north and south fought for thousands of miles and defeated the Helian family and Wenren family on the tenth day. The Chu people will use their best defense warfare and the advantage of their large Chu infantry to fight us to the death.
To capture Zhennanguan,
If we, Dayan, want to mobilize a larger force than when we attacked Jin, we must use the strength of the whole country to support and gamble.
After all, behind Zhennanguan is the Shanggu County of the Chu people. It can be said that it is a vast plain, and the Chu people also know the importance of Zhennanguan.
If he could fight, Marquis Jingnan would have fought long ago, because this battle must be fought to the last breath. Any failure halfway will cause all the previous efforts and sacrifices to be in vain.
Therefore,
terribly sorry,
Unless Your Majesty is determined to attack Chu first and mobilizes in advance to attack Chu, the war against Chu will not be launched at all. "
Ji Chengjue sighed and said:
"It is precisely because Chu is difficult to conquer that we must attack Chu first. It is precisely because conquering Chu will take a long time that we must attack Chu even more.
First of all, if you want to completely pacify the world and unify all Xia, it will naturally be difficult first and then easy;
Secondly,
I am afraid that the country will not be conquered. "
"Qianguo, it is true that there is no need to fight, even though I heard that they have organized and trained a new army."
The Zu Family Army, the Zhong Family Army, and all the new generals who were ennobled by the officials of the Qian Kingdom all showed their talents in the battles when the Yan Army entered Qian.
However, the three sides of the Qian Kingdom include the entire northern terrain of the Qian Kingdom. Unless the Qian Kingdom can suddenly summon 20 elite cavalry to compete with the Yan army in the field, it will not be able to change the situation of being passively beaten.
Ji Chengjue said: "But the Qian Kingdom is tough, especially the Qian Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River. It is densely populated and extremely rich, so it can easily fall into a quagmire."
Uncle Zheng smiled and said,
He took out his tin box, took out a piece of mint candy and threw it into his mouth.
Road:
"Why don't you just say that if the Qian Kingdom is accidentally destroyed, there will be no hope for your throne."
"You have to find some excuse for yourself, right? I'm not doing it for the throne, I'm doing it for the overall situation."
"hypocritical."
"I learn it from you."
"That's all, let's not talk about state affairs for now." Ji Chengjue reached out and took a mint candy from Uncle Zheng's iron box and put it into his mouth, chewing it and said:
"When are you going to have kids?"
Uncle Zheng shook his head and said, "You are just showing off."
"Have a child, Lao Zheng. This man will be completely different after having a child."
"almost."
Siniang has promised herself that by the time he returns this time, Siniang's injuries will definitely be healed.
"After I have a child, I can't help but want to give him the best of everything."
"Understandable."
"After you have a child, you have a real concern and a root in this world."
When hearing "Have a Root",
Uncle Zheng's mouth suddenly opened.
Slowly said:
"Trust me, I need a root more than you do."
atmosphere,
Begins to become warm,
Previously, the two grown men were talking about military affairs.
Now, we are talking about the parents' personal shortcomings.
But the two of them switched very freely, and they will become more comfortable in the future.
"Promise me that for the sake of your godson, you will treat him well in the future. You can learn from your uncle and be the regent, and then give him as much dignity as possible."
"Well, from now on, when you remove me from the military and send me to death row, ask my godson to bring me a meal. The food should be richer, and there is no need for wine, but there must be tobacco."
Ji Chengjue nodded,
Road:
"I will."
"Bitch."
"Ha ha."
"Okay, then I will learn from Dorgon."
"Who is Dorgon?"
"The name of a king in the West also became the regent."
"and then?"
"The body was whipped after death."
"It's inevitable."
At this time,
He Sisi came in personally carrying the dishes and placed them on the coffee table.
Dorgon Zheng subconsciously glanced at He Sisi a few more times.
then,
He immediately turned his head away, blaming himself for being too involved in the drama.
"Are you drinking?"
Ji Chengjue nodded and said: "Bring up all the good wines I have stored in the cellar. Today, I will get drunk with him and then we will have a rest. Tomorrow I will deliberately not go to court to let them all understand that I am peaceful." The relationship between."
"it is good."
He Sisi went down to get the wine.
Ji Chengjue handed the chopsticks to Zheng Fan and said, "Try, my wife's specialty braised pork."
Uncle Zheng picked up a chopstick and said, "It's delicious."
"Really, does your woman know how to cook?"
"Do better than this. Let's not compare ourselves to women. Yours is far behind."
"Is the princess so powerful?"
Uncle Zheng shook his head and said, "Not a princess."
"Oh, you can do it. You can hide one at home and then go out to steal the princess."
"She helped me grab it together, and she entered Chu together with me."
When showing off his wife, no man will take a step back and never admit defeat.
Furthermore,
In Zheng Fan's heart, Siniang was perfect.
Ji Chengjue frowned.
Road:
"I'm jealous."
"Well, you should be jealous."
"But I have a son, and my son will learn to walk soon!"
"Generally, faster arrows are easier to hit the target."
"You are jealous."
"I'm sorry, I'm so jealous. You should continue to be proud."
"Seriously, Lao Zheng, I'm going to tell you what's in my heart. Just listen."
"Co-author, all the things you said before were all bullshit?"
"Listen carefully, aren't you married to the Princess of Chu? In this case, how about letting my son make you the King of Chu in the future?"
After hearing this, Uncle Zheng immediately shook his head and said:
"not good."
"Why are you so greedy!"
"Okay, I'll tell you what's on my mind, and you'll listen."
"Okay, you say."
"From now on, I will make your son King of Yan."
