Yan Xiao went back and told Su Rongyi about Liu Wenchang, not saying how he persuaded Liu Wenchang, but said that he would be able to see Song Ling soon. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"If you feel bad, let's rest here for a few more days."

He still didn't worry about her, he felt that she had lost a lot of weight, and if he had known that she would be pregnant so soon, he wouldn't have come here.

In fact, it is not fast, if it is fast, you can conceive in the first month of marriage.

"It's fine." Su Rongyi smiled: "It's not interesting for me to stay here, it's good for us to leave early." ”

What's more, she really hasn't seen Uncle Song for a long, long time.

Two days later, the group set off for Minxian, a small city on the border with Xiliang.

Here and the city of Xin'an can not be compared, along the road is very chaotic, Hu people in groups of three or five, see the passing caravan will take a few more glances, sneaky, look very unruly. Some of them were bold and looted in the streets, and no one dared to say anything.

Su Rongyi had been to Yanzhou before, but he had never been to Minxian, so he didn't know what it was like.

"In the end, under the rule of the Great Zhou, this is too chaotic." In the carriage, Su Rongyi frowned and said.

Yan Xiao said: "Yanzhou Economic Strategy makes Lu Na may want to be a minister, he has been in office all these years, Mrs. Yanzhou is peaceful, and the political achievements reported to the court every year are beautiful, what is going on?" ”

Su Rongyi has also heard of this person, I heard that when he was young, he was a very brave general, and later he has been defending against foreign enemies in the northwest, being a strategic envoy, grasping the military and politics, and has great power.

"There are a lot of cases of corruption reporting, but Mr. Lu may not care about the performance appraisal of the officials, in short, his political performance is not something that the imperial court can judge, most likely because he takes the set of management places for the army, I have been here in Yanzhou before, I don't like it too much, even if the officials in the post station look at the rules, but the hands and feet are not very clean, and the small is big, it can be seen that the entire Yanzhou officialdom and people are so ethical, on the surface, the wind and waves are calm, and everyone is full of ghosts in their hearts."

Yan Xiao glanced at Su Rongyi appreciatively, "It's worthy of being my lady." ”

She glanced at him, and his face was getting thicker and thicker.

Yan Xiao sighed: "Lord Lu Na is different from my father, my father is half of the Hu blood, and he saved a lot of prestige in Yunzhou when he was young, and after the indigenous barbarians of Yunzhou were included in the Great Zhou, they have food and clothing, implement household registration, and live a better life than before, so naturally they will not think about making trouble, but Yanzhou is very different here, this place is difficult to manage because it is too close to Xiliang, most Hu people cross the border from Xiliang, have no identity, and are extremely poor, these people are the source of chaos, In order to control the relationship with Xiliang, the imperial court issued a death order not to allow these people to return to their hometowns. ”

Therefore, Lu Na's method is not right, but for Yanzhou, it is the most useful.

"Although the emperor is talented, it is impossible to know everything with his hands and eyes, you can know by looking at Xie Miao's assassination in the northwest this time, this part of the northwest is now closely watched by Lu Na and a few bosses, and it is difficult for the court to pull out these nails."

This Su Rongyi understands, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to give Xue Wan a game before, just because she knew that Xue Wan didn't know anything about the situation here in the northwest.

"It's not that you can't lay off these people, but if you do do so, there is no one to take care of you." Yan Xiao hooked the corners of his lips, "The emperor has been praised more and more over the years, and he doesn't know anything anymore, he picks hard bones to gnaw, you see, before the will arrives, it will start to be chaotic here." ”

Su Rongyi said: "I'm afraid that if he knows that it is so difficult, the emperor will slow down and let Master Lu hold on for a few more years." ”

Yan Xiao shook his head, "How can it be so easy, over the years, here in the northwest is like a tight string, even if it can't be plucked, after the chaos, even Lord Lu can't control it." Over the years, the emperor has tried his best to cut the military power in the hands of the old generals, and installed a few cronies and eunuchs in the Qin and Jieer Prefectures next to him, and if he wants to go to the military camp to transfer troops when he encounters something, okay, dozens of procedures have to be dragged on for you for three days, this is not only to control the generals, but also to drag down the morale of the army, those soldiers have long been unable to fight! ”

Su Rongyi sighed, if the emperor was willing to speak widely, he would not be so unclear about the situation here, and he also felt that it was a wonderful way to contain the generals with Wenchen.

She didn't understand before, her uncles, fathers and grandfathers were not bad, why the results of leading the troops to resist the enemy were not significant, but they died on the battlefield one by one, but in the hands of her grandmother Zhen Lao Taijun, it was better, could it be that her grandfather was inferior to her?

No, now that I think about it, Mrs. Zhen is from a Jinling nobleman, and her family has a lot of officials in the court, although they are not close, but they have a blood relationship, where do those supervisors and inspectors really dare to hinder them again and again.

In comparison, what does the Xue family have, they can fight, but in today's Great Zhou, it is useless to just know how to fight.

This is the result of the mixture of military power and political power.

Yan Xiao continued: "This time Lu Na wants to be a minister, and the emperor wants to arrange Shu Song to come over, which can be regarded as cutting off the power in his hands. In fact, this idea is not bad, Shu Song is fully equipped with humanities and weapons, and he can be regarded as a little knowledge, but here in the northwest, you have a little knowledge is not enough, if you want to govern, unless the emperor completely withdraws his hand and lets you do it drastically, if not, it will continue to rot, and the silver will continue to fill in, raise those waste people who slipped over for Xiliang, and whitewash the peace with silver money. ”

"How could the emperor spread his hands." Su Rongyi said: "This is the gate facing Xiliang. ”

Yan Xiao shrugged, "Yes, it is impossible for the emperor to let go of his hands, and it is impossible to feed the silver, Lu Na earns a lot of silver here, but a lot of it is also fed in, the emperor doesn't know, he just thinks that this old guy is not a good person, Shu Song, he dares to have the courage to make money on the border?" The emperor was the first to spare him, so there is no solution to this game. ”

Su Rongyi groaned, "The emperor is a little anxious, and in the end, there is no way, I'm afraid it will be the end of a big war." ”

Yan Xiao nodded, his face was heavy, "My father and I also feel that this is the only way in the end, only when the war starts, can this place start again, Xiliang side, there has been no war for many years, and the emperor is afraid that he has already thought about it." ”

And so it was!

Su Rongyi sighed in his heart, "How many innocent people has this harmed?" ”

Yan Xiao smiled bitterly, "What's the solution?" This has been the case in all dynasties, you see the army and officialdom in the northwest now, if you don't remember it thoroughly, how can you save it? You can't expect too much from the emperor, he would have only been like this. ”

Su Rongyi looked at the fields outside the window, his heart was heavy, and in the end, it was only the people who could bear the mistakes of the people in power.
