Chapter Seventy-Two: Evenly Matched
Yao Yi's mind was very simple, and he could guess it at a glance without saying anything.
He must be thinking that Chengju, who is a serious prince and has the heart to win the throne, may not dare to ask him about the current situation of the soldiers and horses so bluntly, let alone the soldiers and horses of other countries.
Since ancient times, whether it is a troubled era or a prosperous era, the most taboo thing for the emperors of the past dynasties is only the power of soldiers and horses.
She is an emperor, although she is deeply favored by the emperor, but she is too blatant and arrogant.
She didn't say anything in her heart, she didn't want to explain anything, after all, the momentum that her father created for her is now known to everyone in this ten thousand courts, not to mention that it is related to the situation between the two countries, and she has no choice but to set off unnecessary turmoil in people's hearts.
"The old marquis doesn't have to worry too much, this palace has this question, but I want to understand the current national conditions and situation in Jinye, you know, what is the purpose of my father's visit to Jizhou in person, Zhaohua's words and words now are related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, I don't want to shame my father because of the loss of a word, or cause trouble for my dynasty. ”
Yao Yici smiled peacefully, not caring in his heart, but very respectful on his face.
"Your Royal Highness is far-sighted, not in vain Your Majesty's attention, it is not a secret, our dynasty and Jinye have not seen the flames of war for many years, and now whether it is Jinye or my Wan Dynasty, in this Kyushu can be regarded as half of the wall covering the sky, if it is not a last resort, who will break this peace and bring war to the people? Therefore, my Yao family, although I have guarded this border for the emperors of the past dynasties, has never been interested in touching any taboo of Jinye. Yao Yi said that the head of the Tao was resolute, and when he mentioned the emperors of the past dynasties, he even bowed his hand in the direction of the city, and listened and watched without saying a word, and couldn't help but gently tap on the table, the old man, leaning on the old and selling the old with her.
Therefore, His Highness asked, but the minister couldn't answer. As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to Weiyu to confess, "Please forgive your highness." ”
Weiyu's eyelids drooped, looking at Yao Yi who was bowed in front of him, Sakura's lips raised slightly, and he didn't call him to be polite, but his tone was very soft.
The old marquis's words proved that the Yao family was loyal to his father and the Wan Dynasty, and the palace was pleased for his father. Seeing that the old man got up slightly, he didn't say anything and then spoke, his tone brought out a bit of laziness and arrogance, "I Wan Zhaohua has more than one load back to the palace, as if the city is as noble as Yu Guozhang wants me to make three points of thin face, and the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, which is in charge of half of the soldiers and horses of my Wan Dynasty, is even co-branded with my Chitose Mansion, what does the old Marquis Yao think, what is the palace based on?"
Why did this suddenly turn to this compartment?
Yao Yi paused, raised her eyes to look at her speechlessly, and saw that her face was clear and smiling, but the corners of her eyebrows and eyes could not hide her arrogance, and she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
He has lived most of his life, what kind of person dares to pose in front of him, in the end he is still an immature girl.
I didn't think about it, but there was no mountain dew on my face, "Your Highness is naturally Your Majesty's trust." ”
"Father's favor...", he muttered a sentence, Shi Shiran smiled, "Yes, from the day the palace returned to the palace, the palace in this palace can cover the sky with one hand, just because the father and queen mother indulged me, not to mention, last autumn Yin Guifei framed the loyal and good deeds, and the father wanted to execute her secretly in the Zongren Mansion, as if the three princes in the city and the Yin family ran to beg each other, no one answered, they knelt in front of the imperial study for a day and a night, Fang Qiao the palace learned the news, and then saved the life of Yin Guifei in front of his father, and then stabilized the Yin family. Chengju and the Yin family owe the palace, do you think that it is not enough for the father to send Yu Fusang, and he has to send Chengju to accompany the palace in person, why do you want to come to the old marquis. ”
At a young age, his words are treacherous, and he can be described as a deep city.
Yao Yi's complexion was not very good-looking.
"The third brother has been studying hard since he was a child, and he has studied martial arts diligently, and the palace is very clear about what he is for. Now Fengyi Palace wants to add a dragon heir, whether it is a dragon son or a phoenix girl, it will not hinder the palace from planning. The Gu family and the Yao family set up the soldiers and horses of the Ten Thousand Dynasties, and now half of the palace is in hand, and you can get this half, which is the icing on the cake, if you can't get it, as far as Chengju is concerned, you can't take advantage of it. ”
"Your Royal Highness, if you talk to the old minister about such a heart-wrenching thing here, aren't you afraid that it will be passed in front of Your Majesty and hurt the relationship between father and daughter?"
Yes, if he changes to the new emperor one day, his Yao family naturally hopes to be the third prince, after all, the Yao family and the Yin family are in-laws, and at the same time guard the world for the Wan Dynasty, why should his Yao family be squeezed into this acre and three points of land, and his Gu family can cover the sky with one hand at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Yicheng City.
The prince of the Marquis of Pingyang has won the favor of His Royal Highness Zhaohua, and in the future, he will be His Majesty's favorite Chang Di Ji, so where will he Yao have a place to turn over? Not to mention that this Chang Di Ji may become a princess, or even an empress.
It's not that he doesn't know the situation and trends of the city, and it's not that he hasn't thought about throwing an olive branch to this eldest emperor, but the Gu family has already thrown himself into the Qiansui Mansion one step ahead of them, so how can he Yao Yi wipe this old face and choose a path after them? Wouldn't he be poked in the back and laughed?!
Yao Yi flashed an unclear gloomy and ugly look, and he didn't say anything in his eyes, although he couldn't guess what the old marquis was thinking in his heart, but she didn't believe it, this was really a reckless person.
What Zhaohua said just now is just that he hopes that the old marquis will polish his eyes, after all, he has made a wrong step and made a wrong step, and I believe that the old marquis must be a handsome man who can understand current affairs. ”
Yao Yi was stunned for a while when he heard this, the other party not only didn't pay attention to his threat, but also softly hit him back, didn't he tell him to use his strength on cotton and suffocate to death?
Seeing that the old man's face was so dark that he could drip ink, he didn't say anything, and he felt that if he continued to speak, maybe someone would be angry with her and fall into her yard on the spot.
Anyway, half of the purpose of her Jizhou trip has been revealed to him, and this old man can't pick up her branches, so he looks at his city, and it's worth her to make another effort.
"The old marquis doesn't have to be angry, get down to business, if the old marquis knows the movements in Jinye, it's best to tell Zhaohua the truth, and I will personally send a secret guard to investigate, not only is it time-consuming and laborious, if it is detected by Jinye, maybe it is more dangerous than what the old marquis said?"
Instructing the secret guard to investigate? Yao Yi snorted, His Majesty's secret guard went to spy on Jin Ye's soldiers and horses?
The old man's eyes moved, Yao Yi's face softened, and he sighed tiredly, "Even if the old minister doesn't say it, he must be as wise as His Royal Highness, and he can guess a few points in his heart, for many years, Jin Ye has stabilized the millions of male soldiers of my Ten Thousand Dynasty with fertile grain and grass, and how many of the soldiers and horses of my Ten Thousand Dynasty are fed inert by this unearned grain and grass, and the old minister will not count it, but if at the same time, Jin Ye is as old as before, recruiting troops every year and training unremittingly, how the gap between the two countries is narrowed, I think His Highness can also think of it." If you don't have five points of certainty, how dare the Lord of Jinye take the initiative to ask to marry my Emperor Ji of the Ten Thousand Dynasty?"
Weiyue squinted slightly, five points, and it was already evenly matched.
