Chapter 067
In the eyes of his parents, compared to Zhao Yihe, Sun Yixuan is indeed a better choice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoThe Great Zhou Dynasty has emphasized literature over military force for many years, and in the same rank, the voice of civil officials is always heavier than that of military officials. Even if Sun Yixuan is only the editor of the Hanlin Academy of the Seven Grades, in the eyes of most people, his future achievements will definitely be higher than Zhao Yuhe's.
This can be seen from the number of people visiting the two mansions, the threshold of the champion mansion is about to be trampled, and only the military attaché's colleagues go to congratulate Zhao Yu and this lieutenant general.
The older the emperor is, the more suspicious he becomes, and the courtiers can see it, but any courtier with a brain will not violate the emperor's taboos, so few ministers will be friendly with the generals, because the emperor will only feel at ease when he sees the two sides opposed.
In the eyes of the superiors, those who hold military power must always be resisted, and the word "no doubt" will not appear in the king's mind. If it weren't for the fact that there was no successor to the military generals in the DPRK and China, and there was Northern Liao watching from the side, the emperor was afraid that he would continue to suppress the military generals. There is no other reason, just because the emperor's throne was taken from the former prince by force, and he was naturally afraid that someone would use the same means against him.
In fact, the emperor's idea is not groundless, the three princes of the previous life did force the palace to obtain the edict of succession, but there are so many variables in this life, it is unknown whether he can still get his wish.
Li Weijin has been deliberately covering up his edge recently, but he still met with Zhao Yuhe in private, and the war with Northern Liao ended too hastily, and things are definitely not as simple as they seem.
"Your Highness guessed right, Northern Liao's battle this time is just a temptation, but a small group of tribes can break through Jiayu Pass, which is obviously premeditated for a long time. "Zhao Yuhe, with many years of war experience, after a war, the estimation of the Northern Liao forces is almost the same.
"In this way, the military strength of Northern Liao is far more than that, so why do they have to retreat in a hurry?" Li Weijin thought about it from another position, if he was a native of Northern Liao, he would never withdraw at this time.
"Northern Liao has robbed a lot of military funds and food from Hexi, I thought they had no intention of my Great Zhou territory, they just wanted to rob some supplies, after all, Northern Liao was not easy last winter. "When the 100,000 army arrived at Jiayuguan, only a few thousand Northern Liao troops were found, and the part that robbed the money and grain had already returned.
"But I always feel a little uneasy, will Northern Liao stop so easily?" Although Li Weijin is in the capital, he still has some understanding of the customs and folklore of Northern Liao, which is a very ambitious nation.
"I also know that things are not so simple, but the prince of Northern Liao seems to be dying, and his princes are fighting lively, and there should be no big war in the past year or two. "With the memories of the previous life as a reference, Zhao Zhihe is still very sure of his own estimates.
"It's okay now, I'm afraid that the Great Zhou Dynasty will be in chaos by then. "His father's health is getting worse and worse, and Li Weijin has to worry.
Zhao Yuhe also knew what he meant by this, but how could the holy dragon body talk about it casually?" "Your Highness, please relax, the top priority is to take advantage of the civil strife in Northern Liao to stock up more money and food in case of a sudden war. ”
"Of course I know this, Ye Qichen is not a simple character, there will always be no big mess with him in the household department. I can't interfere with the rest. "The prince's most taboo is to meddle in the household and military departments, the third prince has been suspected by the emperor, if he dares to take care of the affairs of the household department at this time, no matter what the reason, he will die a miserable death.
"Having said that, His Royal Highness himself should save more money and food, and he is busy in the household department, I don't know if anyone can replace him?"
"Oh, Wu Shaohuai has handed over all the business matters to his fiancée, and I heard that he has made a lot of money!" Li Weijin has already put aside his prejudice against women, because after Shu Jiao intervened, the silver he got in his hand more than doubled.
But Zhao Yuhe didn't think so, he originally didn't have any opinion on Ye Shuyao, but the last time Ye Wanqing confessed, he had a very bad sense of the two sisters. "How can Your Highness entrust such an important matter to a woman?"
Li Weijin didn't hear the unhappiness in his tone, and simply thought that he looked down on women's abilities. "It's okay if others look down on her, but the money and food you went out this time came from her idea, and her talent in business is no less than Shaohuai, so don't worry about it." ”
Seeing that Li Weijin was not worried, Zhao Yuhe didn't want to refute it anymore, but he still maintained a skeptical attitude in his heart. Annoyed, he simply changed the topic and stopped worrying about himself. "There is one more thing I think Your Highness should know. ”
"Is there anything else important?" Li Weijin couldn't help but feel a headache, how easy it was when he didn't want to fight for the throne before.
"It's not a big deal, but in my memory, this year's new champion should not be Sun Yixuan. "In his previous life, Zhao Yihe had never heard of this name at all, and it was normal for his ranking to change occasionally, but in his previous life, Sun Yixuan didn't even enter the top three, and he didn't know whether he was admitted to the Jinshi.
"What does it matter who is the champion? The idea that Ye Shuyao came up with made many children from poor families read the exam questions and articles over the years, and it is because of the changes that I think there are. "Who is the champion has no impact on Li Weijin, the reputation of the champion sounds good, you can start from the editing of the seventh grade, and you can become an important minister in more than ten years.
Zhao Yuhe didn't bother much about this matter, and the two talked in detail about the defense arrangement in Beijing, and they didn't disperse until it was late.
Here in Ye Mansion, Ye Qichen and Sun Yixuan also talked happily, and when they saw that it was dark, Ye Qichen simply stayed with him for a night. Yang Qingru is also very enthusiastic and completely regards Sun Yixuan as her own family. She also wanted Ye Wanqing to get along with Sun Jingshu, but Ye Wanqing's enthusiasm was not high, and Sun Jingshu was more familiar with Shu Yao, and in the end, Sun Jingshu still lived in Zhiqiu Courtyard.
If it weren't for Shu Jiao's marriage, Yang Qingru would never let Sun Jingshu live in Zhiqiu Courtyard, in her opinion, any signs that might disrupt her daughter's marriage should be nipped in the bud.
Of course, Sun Jingshu of Hui Zhilanxin saw that something was wrong, and when she slept with Shu Yao at night, she quietly asked, "Does your mother take a fancy to my brother and want to recruit him as a son-in-law?"
Shu Yao nodded, but thinking that she couldn't see her movements in the night, she was born and said, "Almost." ”
"It's a pity that you're already married, otherwise I think you and my brother are very compatible. Sun Jingshu's voice was soft and serious, but Shu Jiao could only think that she was joking.
"Where do I deserve the talent of the champion. It's not that Shu Miao is self-conscious, but it is impossible for Yang Qingru to let her marry so beautifully.
"How can it be, my brother is full of praise for the Yongmei poem you made at the New Year's banquet!"
Speaking of this, Shu Yao was very embarrassed, "I didn't write that poem, but I saw it in an ancient book by chance before, and the situation was urgent at that time, so I am really ashamed." ”
Sun Jingshu didn't expect this to be the case, but Shu Yao was able to tell her the truth, which made her have a better impression of Shu Yao. "That's also amazing, my brother is well-read and hasn't heard that poem, you must have read a lot of books, right?"
Shu Jiao laughed twice, but he really didn't know how to answer, but fortunately, Sun Jingshu was also sleepy, and the two quickly fell asleep.
