Chapter 30: The Western Frontier Army

The reason why King Gaomi chose the Western Frontier Army as the place to accommodate sleeping cranes was after repeated consideration.

As Wu Anhou said, even if the Shu sisters are from humble backgrounds and have been favored for many years, not to mention Ji Si Chen, even their mother's family has not been able to support them, but after all, they have been cultivated in the palace for so long, and they may stand up in the East Palace if they want to, whether the East Palace will be recognized after Emperor Xuanjing goes, but it depends on the strength, they still understand this truth.

Therefore, if you want to send Rong Sleeping Crane out of Chang'an, you must give him the opportunity to get military power, at least the Shu sisters think that they can give Rong Sleeping Crane the opportunity to get military power.

Otherwise, the sisters would never have given up!

Because the Meng family didn't know the details of Rong Sleeping Crane, he thought that Rong Sleeping Crane was really raised by the Sheng family, even if he suspected that the people on Hawksbill Island did not coincidentally save Li Shengxu, who was "shipwrecked at sea", he only suspected the Sheng family...... After all, the Sheng family does have a lot to do with Tortoiseshell Island.

But King Gaomi knew that his son had actually grown up on Tortoiseshell Island.

And it was once famous at sea.

Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is difficult to recruit the Seven Seas Pirates, but for Rong Sleeping Crane, it is not necessarily a difficult task.

The most important thing is that King Gaomi calmly took out the huge dowry that Sleeping Crane easily took out, and saw that the money from the capitalless trading at sea was really too fast!

Rong Sleeping Crane, as the righteous son of the Gongsun clan, before coming to Chang'an, had hardly left the sea area of Nanfeng County, and he was still full of money.

If he subdues the pirates of the seven seas and gathers the treasures that these pirates have accumulated over the years...... So how much will his power grow?

Therefore, King Gaomi will definitely not agree to let this son go to recruit the Seven Seas Bandits, but Zhao'an still has to be carried out, but it is just to let the prince Rong Qing go. As for saying that Shizi is not like Rong Sleeping Crane who has been a bandit, and may not be able to do this well, King Gaomi has decided to send his henchmen and staff to help Shizi, and it is necessary to establish the image that Shizi is just low-key, but in fact, he has a good heart.

Otherwise, Zhao Yu and they are just silent today, if the prince continues to be mediocre and Rong Sleeping Crane continues to be excellent...... King Gaomi sighed a little tiredly, unwilling to think about it any more.

"The Western Xinjiang Army has not produced any outstanding generals in recent years, and because the imperial court decided to go on the Northern Expedition in the early years, the baggage and the like are closely related to the Northern Xinjiang Army, so that the supply of the Western Xinjiang Army has been affected for many years. King Gaomi thought in his heart, "According to the news that Gu recently sent someone to secretly go to the army to find out, there are now a lot of empty salaries in the Western Xinjiang army, and the armament is also a mess, and because the Western Xinjiang has been quiet and quiet for many years, and there is no excellent commander to suppress the overall situation, the generals are intrigued and fiercely disputed...... It's a mess!"

However, King Gaomi didn't expect this mess to completely stumble Rong Sleeping Crane.

After all, the world only knows that Rong Sleeping Crane was raised by the Sheng family, and the little prince who was exiled became a rich family, and after more than ten years of struggle, he returned to the palace with an achievement of almost six yuan...... The story is already legendary.

But if you add Yunwen Yunwu, who fell into the bandit's den at the age of five, rose step by step, and still learned, as long as his brain is not in the water, who dares to despise him?

has both talents, no shortage of money, and has just married a staggering princess with a rich dowry, the situation of the Western Xinjiang Army, King Gaomi feels that it is strange that Rong Sleeping Crane can't solve it.

In fact, he just hoped that Rong Sleeping Crane would change the appearance of the Western Xinjiang Army...... The so-called illness comes like a mountain and the disease goes like a thread, there are so many problems in the Western Xinjiang Army, and they have accumulated for so long, even if Rong Sleeping Crane is the reincarnation of General Zhou, it does not mean that it can be effective in three days.

King Gaomi thought that if he could send this son to the western frontier, how could he delay him for five or eight years.

If he hadn't come up with a result with the Meng family in the past five or eight years, King Gaomi would have admitted it, and simply let this son take the throne.

After all, if he doesn't admit it, he can't do it, the prince Rong Qingchu is too mediocre, and he will definitely not be able to fight Rong Sleeping Crane internally, and he will ...... externally The son of the foreign world is probably not an opponent even if he pulls a clever point out of the Meng family's grandchildren.

And King Gaomi himself, he is two years younger than Emperor Xuanjing, even if he is not drunk and dreaming of death like Emperor Xuanjing, but the consumption of energy and physical strength cannot be ignored after years of fighting.

He is now nearly half a hundred years old, and in five or eight years, he will be in sight.

Unless Zheng Guogong, Wu Anhou and Chengyang Hou were boiled to death by him first, he would only struggle more and more in the future.

In this way, what else can he do if he doesn't pin his hopes on Rong Sleeping Crane?

But at present, he still has enough energy, and he still hopes to personally decide the victory with the Meng family, and hand over the victory results of his life's work to the son, so the young son still has to be suppressed.

"The West is a bit barren, and we don't have any people there. Although Zhao Xuan didn't know about King Gaomi's calculations, out of love for his nephew who was both talented and good-looking, he still euphemistically expressed his objection, "He'er is young, and I don't know if I can suppress the scene after I go? If not, in the final analysis, it will be the face of our faction." ”

"It's barren, but it's pure. King Gaomi said slowly, "And the crane is outcast, and he can still be the top student in high school, it can be seen that this child is a real ability, while he is young, he should walk around and broaden his horizons, which is very beneficial to his future." Even if he fails, as you said, the third brother, he is still young, and he still has to be excused, after all, how can a young man not make mistakes?

Zhao Xuan was a little suspicious that King Gaomi did this because he was afraid that Rong Sleeping Crane would steal the limelight from the world, but Rong Qingchu was both a grandson and a long man, and his temperament was good, and he was respectful and affectionate to the Zhao family, as his own uncle, even if Zhao Xuan personally preferred Rong Sleeping Crane's excellence, it was not easy to say anything at this time, but only reminded him: "The new princess of the county is young, and she has been in the south before, if she takes office with her husband, I don't know if she can adapt to the water and soil of Western Xinjiang? If she stays in Chang'an, it is not appropriate for them to separate when they get married." ”

What he said was euphemistic, what he really wanted to say was that Sheng Weiqiao married him, which shows how arrogant and extravagant he lived in his mother's house, such a sweet-hearted baby, and he was the princess of the county in the rich and noble Chang'an, and asked her to follow Rong Sleeping Crane to Western Xinjiang...... She's going to make a fuss, right?

Then Sheng Weiqiao's elders, but they haven't left yet!

King Gaomi swore almost a curse before to ensure that this little daughter-in-law would never have any trouble after passing through the door.

When it comes to Sheng Weiqiao, King Gaomi's face also darkened, as the younger brother of the Son of Heaven, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and the concubine Zhao Ziye married was the first lady of the official eunuch family of poetry and books.

Therefore, although King Gaomi knew that the intrigue between the female dependents would also be very tragic, such as the fate of Concubine Rou, he was limited by what he had seen and heard in the past, thinking that this kind of struggle was carried out in private, and no matter how hateful and angry he was on the surface, he also maintained the appearance of affection between his sisters and sisters.

Who knew that this new little daughter-in-law just didn't follow the cards?

Not only do it in public, but also do it yourself!

God knows how King Gaomi felt when he heard the news!

Yuan Donglai, who was beaten, was certainly not as valued by his grandfather as his brother Yuan Kai, but he was the grandson who grew up with King Gaomi after all. Even if King Gaomi attaches more importance to his grandson and grandson, he does not mean that he can't look down on his granddaughter and granddaughter. After knowing that Yuan Donglai was beaten by Sheng Weiqiao, how could he be happy?

But after all, he is a person who takes care of the overall situation, and after pondering for a moment at this time, he suppressed his anger, and said in a kind voice: "Thank you for the reminder, the third brother reminded me that I would explain this matter to my in-laws in person." After all, it is for the good of their young couple, and the in-laws have always doted on their daughter, so it is understandable to think about it. ”

Zhao Yu nodded and hesitated, but finally said: "It's my sister...... I wonder if I will agree to He'er leaving Chang'an?"

If Princess Gaomi disagrees, even if they suppress Meng's other actions, I am afraid that this matter may not be possible: this is a precedent, that is, the Shu sisters took a fancy to Rong Qingdrunk before and wanted to pass Rong Qingdrunk to their knees.

Although neither the Shu sisters nor the Gaomi Mansion have publicly admitted this matter until now, it is actually true.

Moreover, on King Gaomi's side, there are many more people who support Rong Qing's drunken succession than those who support Rong Sleeping Crane's direct ascension to the throne at this time.

…… Of course, Zhao Xuan and other people who value Xinjun's talents are not among them.

This is not to say that Rong Qingzui is more likable than Rong Sleeping Crane, but because Rong Qingdrunk is far less good than Rong Sleeping Crane.

This person was disgusted by the Gaomi royal couple very early, and during the period of living in a foreign house, although the Zhao family provided him with the same treatment as his own sons, and even paid more attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation, but Rong Qingdrunk didn't know if it was because he knew that the children of the clan could not take the road of the imperial examination, or because no one urged him to inevitably slack off, in short, he did not study like Rong Sleeping Crane.

If you practice martial arts, because of the Zhao family's poetry and book heirloom, even if the eldest lord of this generation Zhao Shi went to Northern Xinjiang to be a general of Huaihua, the atmosphere of the whole family still attaches more importance to studying.

There is no civil and military work, and no one teaches the way of being a king, or the situation under the fence...... Therefore, it is conceivable that after Rong Qingzui ascended the throne, if he wanted to stabilize his position, he would not be able to do without the support of King Gaomi's side.

Directly speaking, Rong Qing's drunken accession to the throne is equivalent to the regent of King Gaomi.

Then the arm of King Gaomi, the status of the king is naturally rising instead of falling.

This move is in the interest of everyone, and of course there is a lot of support.

As a result, a group of people were still discussing whether to do this, and even discussed whether to let him return the throne to King Gaomi after Rong Qingdrunk ascended the throne and killed the Meng clan in the name of this new monarch...... Princess Gaomi secretly entered the palace to meet the Shu sisters, and I don't know how she told the Shu sisters, anyway, the Shu sisters changed their attitude, saying that they had never considered Rong Qingdrunk as an heir.

At that time, I felt that I had been fighting with the Meng family for so long and had not been able to distinguish the winner, and now the Shu sisters took a fancy to Rong Qing's drunkenness, and it was a chance for everyone: ".........................................."

Now that Zhao Xuan has mentioned the princess again, everyone can't help but worry again: Should the princess come out to make trouble again? No?
