There was a salute between the monarch and the minister, and then naturally it was a narrative between father and daughter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Princess Rui likes to listen to Lin Ying talk about things in the northwest, and listens attentively to him talk about the War Horse Sutra.

When Lin Ying said that the horses were very tall, very big, and mighty, and that she would have the opportunity to take Princess Rui to ride with her in the future, Princess Rui gestured with her fingers there and asked him, "How tall?" How big is it? Is Princess Biri taller? ”

Lin Ying smiled and said, "It's much taller than you." As he spoke, he pointed at Lin Yan and said, "As tall as your mother." ”

For Princess Rui, being as tall as her is already very high, as tall as the queen mother, that is really a height that makes her look up and marvel!

Princess Rui happily showed off to Lin Ying again: "My father also has horses, which are very tall and very big. He gestured with his hand how tall and how big it was, and then pointed to himself and said, "Father and the emperor hugged me and rode a horse, but it's fast!" ”

She wanted to say that the emperor also had a very tall and powerful horse, and then the emperor used to take her on a horse, and the horse ran very fast.

It's just that Princess Rui can't say long sentences, so it's all intermittent.

Lin Ying could also understand, touched her little head with a smile, and said, "My grandfather chose a foal for you in the northwest to raise, and when you grow up, my grandfather will let someone bring it back and give it to you." ”

The Lin family has a horse farm in the northwest, and the main ones are war horses for military use.

Princess Rui was very happy, and said, "Grandfather hugged me and rode a horse." ”

She was saying that when the time came, let her grandfather carry her to ride the horse.

Although she likes to ride horses, she doesn't dare to ride a horse yet, so she only dares to let someone take her for a run on the horse.

Lin Ying smiled: "Okay." ”

Lin Ying accompanied Princess Rui to talk for a while, and then talked to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan asked about the current situation of Lin Chengsheng and Lin Chenggang who were still in the northwest.

Lin Ying said: "They are all good, Chengsheng and Cheng have added another son, Chenggang is also sensible and mature, and he is doing well with Shi." ”

Lin Yan smiled: "That's good." Then he asked, "Is there good news for the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law?" ”

Lin Ying also sighed a little at the heir of this eldest son, Lin Chenggang is over twenty years old, but he still has no son under his knees, only one daughter.

But Shi hurt his body when he gave birth to this daughter, and if he wants to get pregnant in the future, he is afraid that it will be more difficult than others, and the doctor did not say that he must not be pregnant, but said that it is more difficult than ordinary people.

Shi wanted to give Lin Chenggang a concubine, but he stopped him. He suffered a loss in the concubine room back then, and now he doesn't want his sons to repeat the mistakes of the past, so he hopes that his sons will marry wives in the future, and it is best not to take concubines again.

He asked the Shi family to wait and talk about it, and in a few more years, if the Shi family still can't conceive by then, he will consider the issue of taking concubines and having children.

Lin Yan also sighed a little about this, she liked Shi's sister-in-law very much, and hoped that she could get along with Lin Cheng.

While the two were talking, the palace people informed the emperor that he was coming, and the emperor walked in from outside.

Lin Ying was a little surprised, but she still stepped forward with Lin Yan to salute him.

When Princess Rui heard that the emperor was coming, she had already run over and jumped on the emperor, and her voice was crisp and she shouted with a smile: "Father." ”

The emperor picked her up, stretched out his hand to help Lin Ying up, and said: "I have been waiting for you in the Qinzheng Palace for a long time, so I know that you must have been intercepted by Yuan Yuan and brought to Changkun Palace." ”

Lin Ying was a little surprised, she thought that Lin Yan dared to invite him to Changkun Palace first, she was angry with the emperor first, and she felt that this girl was cut first and then played? No, it was not played at all.

When did Yuan Yuan become so disproportionate.

looked at her daughter again, and smiled at the emperor with a nonchalant expression.

Lin Ying hurriedly confessed: "It's all the ministers who have forgotten the rules, please ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”

And the emperor really doesn't look angry.

The emperor said, "You don't have to be too nervous, I have something to ask you." Since Yuan Yuan wants to see you, I ask you the same here. ”

Saying that, he hugged Princess Rui and sat down on the low couch with Lin Yan, and asked Lin Ying to sit down as well.

Princess Rui consciously sat on the emperor's lap and played with a jade pendant on the emperor's waist.

The emperor wanted to ask about the northwest of nature, and Lin Yan saw that they were talking about political affairs between the monarchs and ministers, so she left the space for them and wanted to go out with Princess Rui.

Princess Rui refused, turned around and hugged the emperor tightly, and said to Lin Yan: "I want to accompany my father." ”

The emperor also said to Lin Yan: "Let her stay with me." ”

Seeing this, Lin Yan also nodded, and then went out to prepare lunch with the palace people.

Lin Ying raised her eyes and quietly glanced at the emperor and Lin Yan, and the relationship between them was like that of an ordinary couple.

Zhuang wrote a letter, saying that Yuan Yuan's relationship with the emperor in the palace was very good, so he didn't need to worry, he also felt that Zhuang was trying to appease his heart, and now he knew that the relationship between the two was indeed not bad.

Lin Ying was relieved at this time, in fact, he was very guilty about letting Yuan Yuan enter the palace to marry the emperor.

It wasn't until this time that he saw her doing well in the palace that the guilt in his heart was eliminated, and then he continued to talk to the emperor: "...... Nowadays, although there are often Hu people in the northwest to invade the territory, there are no major wars, and the northwest is still calm. ”

The emperor asked again: "With the current strength in the northwest, do you think you have a chance of taking the initiative to send troops to fight against the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other tribes?" ”

Lin Ying looked at the emperor and said, "Less than fifty percent." ”

The emperor was slightly surprised, he thought that it should not be such a low certainty and chance of winning, and said to Lin Ying: "Is Lin Qing too modest?" ”

Lin Ying looked at the emperor and said, "The minister knows that the emperor has great ambitions, but it is not enough to have strong soldiers and strong horses to conduct a big war, and it also needs the financial and material resources of the imperial court to support it." ”

The current Turkic, Xianbei and other Hu tribes are not willing to submit to the Great Liang, and often disturb the border, killing and plundering the people on the border, which annoys the imperial court. Although the Lin family is now in the northwest, and the Hu people have converged on the territory, but every time there is a cold winter and there is a shortage of water and grass, there will still be Hu people who go south to disturb the territory.

The emperor had an ambition in his heart, wanting to completely subdue the Hu tribe, expand the territory, expand the territory of the Great Liang, make the four seas subjugate, and the four sides came to the court.

Lin Ying continued: "The emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years, and he has implemented the policy of rest and recuperation to restore the economy, and it has indeed achieved results. It stands to reason that after so many years of recuperation, the treasury should be full. However, the emperor built water conservancy and dredged the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, these projects cost too much money, and the emperor spent a piece of silver on the household department, and the treasury is still empty, and it cannot support a big war at all. Rushing to war now will drag down the economy that the imperial court has developed with great difficulty. ”

The emperor also knew that he was a little too anxious. (To be continued.) )
