A big gamble: the dandy princess

Chapter 610 Three Kingdoms Standing on Their Own (4)
After the ministers spoke dryly, seeing that the regent and Jing Shizi were silent, their voices gradually died down.In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that today's Tiansheng is not suitable for sending troops.Floods and natural disasters have continued this year, and the people are already in dire straits. If they send troops, they will increase the food, grass, winter clothes and everything they need.It would be fine if the troops could capture Nanliang and Nanjiang in a short period of time. If they could not be conquered, they would be restrained or restrained. After a protracted battle, the entire army and people's livelihood of Tiansheng would be dragged down.

After changing the anger of the officials just now, the civil and military officials in the Golden Palace seemed to be silent.

After a long time, Ye Tianyi suddenly turned his head and asked Rong Jing, "Did Mr. Jing see the nebula map last night?"

Everyone didn't expect that the regent would not talk about Nanliang and Nanjiang's self-reliance, but instead said something irrelevant, and they were all startled.

Rong Jing glanced at Ye Tianyi, and said lightly: "Never!"

"I thought Jing Shizi would watch the stars at night. It is said that yesterday, the picture of the nebula is seen once in a hundred years. Didn't Jing Shizi look at it?" Ye Tianyi raised his eyebrows.

"Yesterday, Yun Qianyue was unwell." Rong Jing's face remained unchanged.

Ye Tianyi's face darkened, and he changed the subject, "What does Prince Jing think about the independence of Nanliang and Nanjiang?"

"Nanliang stopped paying tribute three years ago. Southern Xinjiang has always followed the lead of Nanliang. It is expected that today's event will happen." Rong Jingwen said: "Tiansheng has been prosperous for a hundred years, and it is no longer as good as before. Droughts have been in successive years. In the event of floods, heavy snow, and the suffering of the people, it is not suitable to go to war. The invasion of the heavenly imperial power is minor, but the fate of the people is a major matter. Only a family can have a country. If it is because of sending troops, the heavenly people will eventually die Shi Jiukong, then the family is gone, and the country is gone. Besides, Prince Yun congratulates Nanliang's envoy team is now in Nanliang. If Tiansheng sends troops, then Nanliang may kill Prince Yun first to sacrifice the flag, and follow him Hundreds of Tiansheng guards are not a small number."

"Elder Yi Jing's intention is not to send troops?" Ye Tianyi raised his eyebrows, "Are you selfishly not wanting to cause trouble to Prince Yun because of Yun Qianyue in Prince Yun's mansion, or are you not wanting to go to war because of the people of Tiansheng?"

Rong Jing smiled lightly, "It doesn't matter whether I think or not, what matters is the facts. The regent and all the adults can think about whether it is for the imperial power or the common people. If it is for the imperial power, then send troops. If it is for the common people, then it is It is not appropriate to send troops. Prince Yun and hundreds of guards are also Heavenly Saints."

"Jing Shizi said that if the king sends troops, he will not care about the people?" Ye Tianyi asked.

"Of course, if the regent can keep the taxation and all the use of troops from the people, then there is nothing wrong with sending troops. After all, the regent has the northern border. The autumn harvest in the northern border is fruitful this year." Rong Jing said softly.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and then they remembered that the regent has a northern border, and the northern border is a piece of fertile land like today's saints are everywhere.

"Northern Xinjiang can mobilize 20 troops. According to Mr. Jing, 40 soldiers and horses are combined with [-] soldiers and horses in Qingshan City, and then [-] soldiers and horses are sent from the capital. Can [-] soldiers and horses be able to take down Phoenix Pass in Nanliang?" Tianyi asked.

"Nanliang General Gu Shaoqing has 30 soldiers in his hands, and Qingshan City has 40 soldiers, which is 20. If Ye Qian in Southern Xinjiang helps send troops, there will be 60 troops. There are 40 soldiers in total, 60 With [-] soldiers and horses, plus there is a national teacher in Nanliang, I am afraid they are not opponents." Rong Jing said.

"What if you send troops in person?" Ye Tianyi raised his eyebrows, "Nanliang has the Nanliang Guoshi, Tiansheng has Jing Shizi, and they are worth [-] soldiers."

Rong Jing smiled lightly, "There is about a half chance of winning, but the regent is assured that I will lead the army?"

Ye Tianyi glanced at him silently, his eyes were dark, and after a while, he asked everyone, "Masters, do you think it is okay to send troops according to the words of Prince Jing?"

Prince De glanced at Rong Jing, then at Ye Tianyi, and said in a deep voice: "Although Mr. Jing has a half chance of winning, but now you are the auxiliary prime minister, and the government cannot do without you, so naturally it is not appropriate for you to lead the army .”

"What if Little Prince Ran leads troops to go to war?" Prince Xiao took over the words, "Little Prince Ran is familiar with the art of war and has been in charge of the Xishan Military Aircraft Camp. He is highly skilled in martial arts. If General Gu Shaoqing of Nanliang meets Little Prince Ran, he may not He is the opponent of Little Prince Ran."

"But there is still a huge gap between 40 soldiers and 60 soldiers." Prince De shook his head, "Unless southern Xinjiang is restrained from sending troops, or more troops are transferred from various places, but adding more troops will increase taxation .”

"It may not be easy to contain Ye Qian's troops, because Ye Xiao seized power and Ye Qian integrated the troops of Nanliang. Now Nanjiang is as strong as gold inside and outside, and there is Nanjiang's uncle here, so it can't be restrained in a short time. Unless you use Nanjiang Wangfu Yunmu Han, but Yun Muhan is said to be one-hearted with Ye Qian and his wife now, and has already abandoned Prince Yun’s mansion, so I’m afraid he won’t be able to make use of it.” Prince Xiao said cautiously, “Senior Jing Shizi also said that it’s not feasible to dispatch troops from various places. If you are full of food, you can no longer afford to pay taxes to raise soldiers."

"There is no other way!" Prince De glanced at Ye Tianyi.

"Could it be that our heavenly and magnificent country is going to be dominated by two small countries?" An old minister loyal to the Ye clan's imperial power in Qin Tianjian seemed extremely angry, "If today's self-reliance is tolerated, then he will be punished by Nanliang and Nannan." Xinjiang may raise troops to attack the Heavenly Sage!"

"It's just a matter of patience for a while. Mr. Gu doesn't know how to shrink and stretch, right?" Rong Jing looked at the minister.

"Your Majesty Jing is very kind and thinks of the people of Tiansheng, and we naturally think of the people of Tiansheng, but the imperial power of the great country of Tiansheng cannot be violated." That Gu Daren said: "Although the common people cannot increase taxes, they can pay taxes to the rich. Collecting food from households, or calling on wealthy households to buy food, is the great righteousness of the country, and it is an unshirkable duty to safeguard the holiness of heaven. As long as the regent makes an imperial decree, how can there be hundreds of thousands of military rations? Jing Shizi is as rich as an enemy country, The food of the Rongwang Mansion is enough for one mansion."

Rong Jing smiled slightly, "Master Gu thinks highly of the Rong Palace! For the first emperor's birthday banquet, I donated ten grain stores, which is enough food for 30 soldiers for two winters. Lord Gu is proud of it." Is the food in the palace inexhaustible?"

Master Gu choked for a moment, and immediately said: "Although Jing Shizi can no longer provide food, there are countless big families in Tiansheng Zhumen. Under the application, there must be someone who pays more food."

"Master Gu's plan is good or bad, but everyone has selfish intentions, and the rich households may not be able to hand over their food. If it is easy to hand over, the late emperor would not have been anxious about food half a year ago." Rong Jing said.

"The Regent issued an imperial decree to collect grain, and the imperial decree cannot be disobeyed. If a rich household does not pay enough grain and has selfish intentions, he will be punished for a felony. I don't believe that grain can't be brought out." Mr. Gu said angrily.

Rong Jing smiled and said: "If the regent thinks that he can adopt Mr. Gu's opinion, then there is nothing wrong with it. After all, he should try it. The regent should be very relieved that Mr. Gu is so patriotic and protects the imperial power from being violated."

Master Gu fell silent for a while, and looked at Ye Tianyi.

Ye Tianyi remained expressionless, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay to issue an imperial edict, but you can't force it to collect food from rich households, you have to hand it in voluntarily. Let's take Master Gu's opinion! The matter of sending troops should be carefully discussed, and the first thing to do is to reserve supplies. .”

Master Gu retreated after hearing the words.

Everyone also felt that collecting food from rich households should not be forced, and that they should be cautious about sending troops to Nanliang, so they had no objections.

After the morning court, everyone returned to the meeting hall and still handled government affairs as usual.

In the Zizhu Courtyard of Prince Rong's Mansion, Yun Qianyue lay on the bed wrapped in a quilt sullenly, listening to Ling Lian and Yi Xue telling her about Nanliang and Nanjiang's self-proclaimed emperor. In Nanliang, he didn't realize that he still had this idea.However, self-reliance is also good, anyway, three years ago, he no longer paid tribute to the Heavenly Sage, and the only difference is this layer of window paper.

In the afternoon, Yun Qianyue received a letter from Nan Lingrui.It said in the letter that he might not return his father, isn't there Yun Li in Prince Yun's mansion?She is also there, and the old man is also there, let her watch the arrangement!Anyway, the original agreement with Prince Yu was voided because of Luo Yao's departure. He lost Luo Yao and left a mother to be used by her.She rolled her eyes and didn't write back to him.

Not long after Nan Lingrui's letter arrived, she received a letter from her mother, saying that she had arrived at the Peach Blossom Forest where the top ten aristocratic families were located, and lived in the Chu family as a young wife.At the same time, she talked about Nan Lingrui's self-reliance, and she said: "It's not a bad idea to take this opportunity to let your father escape." After all, he can't always be tied to Prince Yun's mansion.

After Yun Qianyue read the letter lazily, she also didn't reply.

Later, a letter from Xiyanyue came, saying that Xiyan had stabilized, and planned to announce to the world that he would form an alliance with Nanliang and Nanjiang, and also stand on his own.

Yun Qianyue put the letter aside, but still didn't reply.

In the evening, when Rong Jing came back from the palace, seeing Yun Qianyue lying on the bed listlessly, she smiled softly, "But it's better?"

"Do you think I'm alright?" Yun Qianyue glared at him angrily.

Rong Jing smiled lightly, and his cool fingertips slid across her face, which was as smooth as fat, and it was a little hot. He glanced at her lower abdomen and smiled, "When did you become so weak? You didn't get sick much before, but now Your physique is really worrying, if Grandpa Yun knew about it, he would probably scold you for not worrying about it. He is looking forward to hugging his grandson as soon as possible."

Yun Qianyue rolled her eyes, waved her hand to open the sight he put on her lower abdomen, and snorted coldly, "I just recovered from illness, and my resistance was low, but you still dragged me to see some nebula, now it's fine, tossing sick Yes, you are still happy."

"You can watch Xingyun with me, I can feel at ease. I'm not afraid of being sick, I can take care of it again." Rong Jing smiled and hugged her in his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

"Get away, who will serve me if you infect me?" Yun Qianyue opened him.

Rong Jing straightened her face, kissed her deeply, then left, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of infection, even if I get infected, I can still serve you."

Yun Qianyue took a look at him, and stretched out her hand to point to the pillow, "My mother, brother and Xi Yanyue have all sent letters, take a look!"

Rong Jing raised his eyebrows, reached out to take the letter paper, read the three letters, and said with a smile: "Ye Tianyi guessed that Nan Lingrui would take this opportunity to stand on his own, so the person who went to Nanliang to congratulate him sent Uncle Yun. Contain you. But even if he doesn't send troops now, Nan Lingrui doesn't plan to return Uncle Yun, he might not have expected it."

"If he knew about the exchange between Nan Lingrui and Yun Muhan, he probably wouldn't have sent Dad to Nanliang!" Yun Qianyue said.

Rong Jing was noncommittal, "It's a good thing for Uncle Yuan to let go of his status as King Yun! Whether it is Nanliang Guoshi or Donghai Huawang, he will no longer be restrained."

Yun Qianyue nodded, "Anyway, he is worthless as the king of Yun, and it's good to be abolished."

"Yunli has also been married for a few months, and has another heir, who just happens to take over." Rong Jing said softly.

Yun Qianyue thought that Yun Li was good at everything, but she didn't have martial arts.
