Chapter 579: Look at the dowry
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Spring is in full bloom, and everywhere inside and outside the capital is showing vibrant colors.
Regarding the investigation of Princess Jun's robbery, Lin Yan didn't know what happened, and the emperor didn't tell her.
At first, she asked a few times, but later saw that the emperor was reluctant to say, so she didn't ask any more. She didn't know if the emperor had found out who was behind the scenes, because the emperor didn't make any moves. But looking at the emperor's appearance, there is at least an object of suspicion about the people behind the scenes.
Because of this incident, Lin Yan no longer felt at ease to let Princess Rui and Princess Jun out of the palace, so she detained them in the palace most of the time.
In the northwest, there are frequent good news.
After a winter of campaigning, the Northwest finally captured the Ilkhanate, the third of the four major tribes outside the Northwest Pass, at the beginning of spring.
Among the four major tribes, three tribes have been returned to the territory of Daliang, and now only the Turpan Khanate is still resisting.
In the battle with Yili, in addition to the little prince Huan who was constantly praised by Lin Chengzheng and Lin Chenggang, there was another person's name that frequently appeared in the good news of the northwest.
The little prince Huan was born with the courage and good fighting of the Lin family, although his "debut" was not long and he was young, but he had gradually gained the recognition of the generals and soldiers in the Northwest Army.
The little prince Huan occasionally wrote and boasted quite proudly: "I have already fought with the wars in the northwest, and yesterday a little general told his son that when the battle is over, let his son find a daughter-in-law for him." The son also agreed to him, so the queen mother, you will help me find a few good girls in the past two years, it is best to be understanding, beautiful, able to endure hardships, and have a big ass to have children. ”
After Mu Zhi stood next to Lin Yan and read the letter, he couldn't help but smile and said: "This His Royal Highness the King of Qin is really, how can a woman not have a child, does she have to have a big butt and not be able to give birth." ”
Lin Yan carefully put away the letter, and said to Mu Zhi with a smile in her eyebrows: "Then you usually pay more attention to see if there is a suitable girl, my son wants to be a matchmaker for the first time, and I, the queen mother, naturally want to help him." ”
Mu Zhi said yes with a smile, and said: "According to what His Royal Highness King Qin said, find someone who is empathetic, beautiful, can endure hardships and has a big ass and has children." ”
Saying that, he smiled and said to Lin Yan: "I really didn't expect that Chen Ling's kid to have some ability, and he even made a name for himself in the Northwest War. At a young age, he was promoted to the commander of the town, and he was able to lead 5,000 men and horses to defeat a 10,000-strong army and horses in Yili, which is really not to be underestimated. When we rescued him on the Northwest Road, we didn't expect him to have such a talent. ”
To be honest, even Lin Yan didn't expect it.
At the beginning, the emperor left him in the northwest, but he didn't want him to fight Princess Jun's idea. However, after the Chen family back then, he experienced ups and downs as a teenager, so he naturally had such a bloody nature.
And the emperor here, after seeing the frequent good news, was very happy, even said a few "good" words, his eyebrows were soothing, his eyes were very happy, and then he ordered in front of the cabinet ministers and the prince and others in the Qinzheng Palace: "Pass the order, let the two Lin Aiqing take advantage of the victory to pursue, and continue to attack the Turpan tribe." In addition, the supply of military salaries and military supplies must be timely, and there must be no delay. ”
The crown prince frowned slightly when he heard this, and said to the emperor with some concern: "Father, the Turpan Khanate is the largest tribe among the four major tribes outside the Northwest Pass, and the king of Turpan Khan is cunning by nature, good at trickery, and has a set of soldiers. The Northwest Army had just finished fighting the Ilkhanate, and its losses were also large, and the soldiers were exhausted. Erchen thought that he should let the army rest for a while and wait until he was fully prepared before attacking the Turpan Khanate. ”
The emperor glanced at the crown prince, his eyes were like torches, and said, "I believe in the Lin family's ability to lead the army. ”
The crown prince raised his head and looked at the emperor, still wanting to argue: "Father ...... emperor"
The emperor said: "It is precisely because the king of Turpan Khan is cunning by nature that he should take advantage of the victory to continue to attack the Turpan tribe." Three of the four major tribal khanates had already been defeated, and the Turpan Khanate was feeling at a time when the rumors were rumoring and the attitude was decadent. On the contrary, the soldiers of my Daliang have just won the battle, their emotions are high, their morale is full, and they are just using the soldiers. If after a while, when the Turpan Khanate has eased its breath, the morale of the northwestern army has stopped, which is not conducive to the use of troops. This is where the quick fix comes in. ”
Although the crown prince still had doubts when he heard this, he saw that the emperor was resolute, but he didn't want to say more.
The emperor said, "Prince, I will leave the matter of transporting military salaries and supplies to you, and you must not let me down." ”
The prince's face became serious, and he said yes.
By May, the fighting in the northwest had entered the white heat, but the atmosphere in the capital was still as usual. The song and dance is still the song and dance.
The weather is getting hotter, and icebergs have been placed in Changkun Palace.
After Lin Yan recited the scriptures in the small Buddha hall for a while, she went back to the main hall, found out the booklet in the treasury, and checked out the good things inside.
Since the little prince Huan went to the northwest, Lin Yan has been used to reciting the scriptures for a while and copying the scriptures for a while every day, hoping that the Buddha and Bodhisattva can protect the little prince Huan.
After Lin Yan marked out the things that were outlined, she handed over the library book to Mu Qing and said, "Find out the two things drawn out of the palace and send them to the Wuguo Mansion." ”
Cheng's marriage daughter begged Lin Yan to come here and wanted Lin Yan to give her daughter's dowry a makeup, so that the dowry would look better.
Mu Qing said yes, and then went to the warehouse with the account book to find something.
Princess Rui on the side picked up another library book and flipped through it, and then asked, "Queen Mother, what are you going to do with so many things in these books?" ”
Lin Yan said: "The dowry for you." He said, "Don't you like the Western screen in my storeroom?" Also given to you as a dowry. Whether it is your Tang Muyi, your title and the dowry prepared by the Ministry of Rites, it is enough to be eye-catching, so these things given to you by the queen mother are not recorded in the Ming Book. The queen mother will give you a booklet in private, and you must know what you have given you. ”
Princess Rui flipped it a few times and couldn't help but say, "Why are there so many?" Queen Mother, are you planning to empty the treasury of Changkun Palace for your sons as a dowry? As he spoke, he put down the library book and said, "The father has already given a lot of things to the sons, and the sons don't need the things of the queen mother." The queen mother's things will be kept for Jun'er and Jue'er in the future. ”
Lin Yan smiled and said, "You're still afraid that your sisters' dowry won't be short." He said to her in a quiet manner, "You forgot, the key to your father's treasury is still here with the queen mother." After emptying the mother's treasury, Jun'er and Jue'er will move your father's treasury in the future. ”
Princess Rui also laughed when she heard this, and said, "The queen mother is really bad! ”
The mother and daughter joked a few more words, and then Lin Yan suddenly yawned, looking sleepy.
Princess Rui looked at Lin Yan and said, "Queen Mother, are you tired, why don't you sleep for a while." ”
Lin Yan listened to the "um" and said, "It's probably a bitter summer, and it's easy to get sleepy." ”
As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, sobered himself up a little, and said, "It's okay, let's continue to take a look at the inventory, if you have anything else you like, you can pick and choose." (To be continued.) )
