Chapter 146: The capital moves

The capital, the imperial palace, the imperial study. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The new emperor with a gloomy face handed an encrypted fold on the dragon case to Meng Shoufu and the others below, and was silent.

Meng Shoufu took the excerpt, skimmed it quickly, and handed it to several colleagues behind him. After everyone had read the excerpt, he stepped forward and saluted.

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Meng Shoufu raised his head and looked at the young emperor above who had been taught by himself, and sighed with emotion. Your Majesty is still too young to hold his breath!

"According to Lao Chen, Li Yuanche's move is just a drop in the bucket, and it can't solve the fundamental problems of northern Xinjiang."

"Really? Shousuke-sama! The new emperor looked at this old lady who single-handedly supported his superiority, and he was also a little disappointed in his heart. Mrs. Meng is too old to understand the current situation?

Xindi picked up the teacup and spoke slowly.

"At the beginning, you said that Li Yuanche was short of money and food in northern Xinjiang, and he would not be able to achieve the climate, so let me make an order to win him over."

"You said that the northern frontier is vast and sparsely populated, and it is impossible to gain a foothold, and this person will definitely take refuge in the imperial court and be used by me!"

"But now, you've all seen it, right?" The new emperor put down the teacup heavily, and his face was cloudy.

"Then Li Yuanche is in northern Xinjiang, using hundreds of thousands of troops to reclaim wasteland and build high city walls, where is there a little bit of refuge in the imperial court."

"It's only a few days of hard work, but this person has taken advantage of my holy decree to occupy the name of righteousness, and laid down Liaodong, not only adding tens of thousands of horses, but also winning the land of the four states of Liaodong, and now a small half of the world is in the hands of others."

"You say, how can this man be used by me?"

"Your Majesty is angry." The Son of Heaven was angry, and the first few people knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty.

Meng Shoufu kowtowed again before slowly speaking.

"Your Majesty, that Li Yuanche used hundreds of thousands of troops to reclaim the wasteland in northern Xinjiang, and in the eyes of the old minister, he had no intention of digging his own grave."

"Your Majesty, do you think, the generals and soldiers in the army have gone to farm, where is the combat power to fight for the world?"

"Besides, the northern frontier is barren, the terrain is barren, and there is a lot of drought and little rain, where can we grow any food? Even if Li Yuanche used his army to reclaim hundreds of thousands of hectares of wasteland, it would be difficult to produce anything! ”

At that time, his army of hundreds of thousands, not to mention the consumption of combat strength, was still short of silver and food, and it was a dead end. When the time comes, Your Majesty, if you give another decree to give grace, then Li Yuanche will naturally take refuge in the imperial court. ”

"Your Majesty, what matters now is Jiangnan. Jiangnan is rich, rich in money and food, and has always been a battleground for soldiers. ”

"With the support of Jiangnan's money and food, Your Majesty is worried about the instability of the country!"

"What Meng Shoufu said is extremely true, please think twice!" As soon as Meng Shoufu's words fell, several ministers kneeling in front of the new emperor spoke in unison.

"Get up." After a while, the new emperor, whose face gradually regained his calm, called out to several old ministers who were kneeling down. He picked up the teacup again and took a few sips before he spoke slowly.

"I also know the importance of Jiangnan, but Jiangnan is far away from Beijing, and there are rebels in Yizhou and other places in the middle, and those families in Jiangnan have always disobeyed the imperial court and did not listen to the edict. I don't know what to do for a while, I don't know if you Aiqing has a good plan? ”

"Your Majesty, when the Emperor Taishang was in Beijing, he had already made arrangements." Meng Shoufu got up and saluted again, and when he looked up again, his eyes were full of light.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten the eldest master of the Cui family who is still in the capital?" The Cui family was originally one of the four major families, and Emperor Qing wooed the Cui family to stay in Beijing, wasn't it just for this time?

The Cui family? Xindi nodded, a look of relief on his face.

"Come on, Xuan Cui Yu will enter the palace."

……………………………………………………………………………….

Late at night, Master Cui, who hurriedly returned home from the palace, entered the house, and did not return to his house, but walked directly to Princess Annan's Fenghua Xueyue Pavilion.

At this time, Princess Annan was in the Fenghua Snow Moon Pavilion built by herself, wantonly enjoying the attentive service of several handsome faces.

I saw that in this boudoir that was burned warm like spring by the earth dragon, there was no shadow of the bed pavilion, and there was only a wide thick blanket on the ground of the whole room. The clothes were a little messy, and Princess Annan, who was wearing a light gauze coat embroidered with peonies, was lying on the blanket coquettishly, and a jade hand gently slipped through the chest of a sturdy man, unspeakably amorous.

"You guys all go out." As soon as Master Cui stepped into this boudoir, he said to several young faces in the room, "I have something to say to the princess." ”

"Yes, sir." These newcomers were all newly selected by Master Cui from Qinghe, and they were specially arranged to enter the mansion in order to retain Princess Annan. These men, whose families are in Qinghe, naturally obey Master Cui's words.

"Father, what are you going to do here?" Annan didn't care, still lying on the blanket so flamboyantly. If the Cui family can't tolerate herself, it's a big deal for her to go back to her princess's mansion.

"Oh, I see, could it be that my father can't get used to the style of this palace?" Annan seemed to think of something, and suddenly pulled the pink ribbon around his waist, and laughed stupidly.

"Princess!" Master Cui ripped off his cloak with one hand and threw it aside. The earth dragon in this room is burning too hot, and it is really hot.

"The princess is such a charming beauty, anyone who sees it will be moved, how can the old minister not get used to it?" Master Cui stepped forward a few steps, came to his daughter-in-law, and sat on the ground.

"Princess, Weichen has something to discuss with you." At this time, Master Cui had already put away his usual decent style, and looked at the woman under him with a sneer. His right hand was behind his back, but his left hand had already quietly reached to one side.

Master Cui knew that he had to please this daughter-in-law at this time, otherwise he was afraid that his life would be in danger when he went south this time. He laughed with his daughter-in-law beside him, and secretly clenched the pill in his right palm.

I don't know if this pill given to him by Imperial Doctor Zhou is useless? I said that I wanted the most powerful pill, but I don't know when this medicine will take effect? If this princess and daughter-in-law cannot be satisfied today, I am afraid that she will not agree to the request she is about to make.

"Really?" Annan's red lips were lightly raised, coquettish and moving, she deliberately straightened her upper body, and she was indescribably romantic, "Do you really have something to discuss with me?" ”

"Of course, my princess." Master Cui kissed her cherry red mouth fiercely, but after a moment, when the person under him closed his eyes in distraught, he instantly put the pill in his right hand into his mouth.

"Father!" Annan deliberately said a little embarrassed, and took advantage of the situation to hand it over, and she said coquettishly, "Don't be like last time, just .......!" ”

"Princess, let Weichen serve you." (To be continued.) )
