Chapter 20: The Controversy

The sun is shining, the scenery in the fragrance of flowers is full of scenery, and the high palace walls of red bricks and green tiles lock the freedom of many people and attract the expectations of many people.

Baili Yao has not had a general election for five years, and such a lord can't find a second emperor who is so infatuated even if the ancestral history of several princely kingdoms is turned out, even if he doesn't work hard for Qiang for so many years, this alone is almost enough to leave a name in history.

Since the flower festival, the temperature of the weather has been one day at a time, and the mood of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty is like a sponge soaked in water.

Bai Liyao sat on the high throne, looking at the old ministers who were half of their beards white pinching their throats one by one, making their faces red and their necks thick, and they were really afraid that they would burp if they suddenly couldn't breathe.

Baili Baoyou was wearing a pale yellow prince's suit, embroidered with a golden unicorn that was soaring through the clouds, and his body had risen a lot over the past year, standing straight at the bottom left of the throne, looking at this group of old ministers with an expressionless face who was not tired at all and arguing around, anyway, he couldn't get any results.

Originally, there was no conclusion about Heng Yuguo's affairs until now, the civil and military factions were clearly incompatible, and Bai Liyao couldn't think of any more appropriate solution for a while, and the only most appropriate way at present was to delay.

For an emperor, and an emperor born in the Anping era, although it is said that Baili Yao has been in power for many years, the people of the Qiang Kingdom have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and because of the advantages of the land, they have steadily gathered wealth that other vassal states can only hope for.

But as an emperor, the emperor's heart will never be satisfied, even if he is as quiet as Baili Yao heard that Heng Yuguo was willing to let out the city, he was also a little tempted, and the two civil officials could describe the blueprint of the future of Qiang Guo eloquently, Baili Yao's heart couldn't help but shake.

But the generals of the two main military generals of the Qiang Kingdom advocated clearing the boundary with Hengyu Guohua, and the two generals insisted so much, Baili Yao couldn't go to the battlefield to fight in person because of the favorable conditions offered by Hengyu Guo, not to mention that when it came to leading troops to fight, Baili Yao had never seen what a real war was like for a lifetime.

Then the two generals analyzed the current situation of the army of Qiang State with reasonable evidence, and it sounded that it was indeed the current situation that it was not easy to move troops.

The civil and military fights, sandwiched between the emperor of the Qiang State, Baili Yao, neither left nor right, nor did there appear any decisive plane, so now every day the civil and military officials of the dynasty have to quarrel for a while, and then talk about political affairs for a while and then quarrel until they retreat.

Fortunately, today's Qiang country is still in good weather, or maybe so, the officials who seem to have nothing to do have a collective quarrel.

A sharp 'retreat' can be regarded as liberating Baili Yao's ears in an instant, and Baili Baoyou also moved his already sore shoulders slightly, and then followed Baili Yao's ass and walked out.

Baili Yao, who was a little dizzy by the quarrel of the ministers, did not rush to his Qianqing Palace, but slowed down quietly, and Baili Baoyou, who was following behind, saw that his father had no intention of letting himself go down, and had to put on a face as the prince of Qiang Kingdom.

If you look closely, there are already some shadows of Baili Yao between your eyebrows and eyes......

"Father?" , Baili Baoyou has been following for a long time, Baili Yao is still the same as just now, although the scenery of the imperial garden is really beautiful, but for Baili Baoyou, who has seen it since childhood, even if it is beautiful, it is enough to see.

"How", Baili Yao half turned around and looked at Baili Baoyou, who was already impatient on his face, "You have an impetuous temperament, you have to sink, you have to remember that every decision you make in the future will affect the thousands of Li people in the Qiang Kingdom, don't be impatient."

"Erchen knows", Baili Baoyou heard that as soon as Baili Yao opened his mouth, he rose to the height of the people of Qiang Country, and he didn't dare to slack off and clear his face.

"Then what do you think about the matter of Heng Yuguo", Bai Liyao's words turned to the problem that had troubled him for a long time.

Baili Baoyou looked up at his father who was waiting for his answer, pursed his lips and said, "According to Erchen's humble opinion, Hengyu Guo's ambition is obvious, Hengyu can unite with my Qiang Kingdom to attack Rongguo today, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a second Qiang Kingdom and Rongguo ...... in the future."

“…… Father? ”。 Before Baili Baoyou's words were finished, he saw Baili Yao staring at him thoughtfully.

"The prince of my Qiang country has grown up", Bai Liyao's face showed a little relief, "What kind of lord of Qiang country does You'er want to be in the future?" ”。

Baili Yao was interested, and he really pulled Baili Baoyou, who was only about ten years old, to go shopping.

"This son hasn't thought about it yet", Baili Baoyou really hasn't thought about this problem, although the impression of the memory queen is very shallow, but Baili Baoyou, who grew up under the love of Baili Baoshu and the protection of Baili Yao, really didn't think about the day when he wanted to support the entire Qiang Kingdom alone.

However, looking at Baili Yao, who didn't speak for this answer, Baili Baoyou still thought for a while, "To be able to protect Sister, no one dares to bully the people of my Qiang Kingdom at will...... Whoever dares to hit the attention of my Qiang country, Erchen will be beaten back fiercely......".

Bai Liyao laughed softly.

"What is the father laughing at? Could it be that the son is not right? ”。

"There's nothing wrong, it's just that you have to always remember what you said today......", Bai Li Yao inevitably said a little more as he walked with Bai Li Baoyou.

Several concubines came in from a distance and saw Baili Yao who appeared in the imperial garden today, and they all thought about how to walk up beautifully, how to ask for An's graceful figure, and how to make the lord of the country remember their faces......

A few concubines who were laughing just now immediately had the idea of comparing with each other, this person's hair bun is not as good as their own combing today, that person's hair accessories are too shabby, and even the clothes are outdated styles, but before the comparison is finished, Baili Yao over there has already taken Baili Baoyou from the other side of the trail to go.

With other scheming in his heart, Bai Liyao was naturally not as shaken as he was a few days ago, and even the lobbying of the old lady Fu Qi did not have much effect.

Heng Yuguo's affairs have really been put on hold for the time being.

The temperature of the weather is getting higher and higher, and the door ban of the Qiang Kingdom has been extended for an hour and a half, and the main road south of Anyue City, which is far away from the palace, is becoming more and more noisy.

The rows of shops are filled with a dazzling array of goods, and the merchants and traders from the north and south have set up their own stalls, pulling long shouting tunes, and hemp ropes are tied between the lush camphor trees on both sides of the main road that can carry four carriages in parallel, and the colored lights on the hemp ropes are swaying, blending into a long dragon with no head or tail in sight.

Although Baili Baoyou can still maintain a basic posture, his eyes full of light are staring at the goods on both sides, and a pair of eyes are almost insufficient.

"Ah...... Big brother, let's take some back, okay, I promise not to let others see it", Baili Baoyou still didn't endure it for long, so he turned around and pulled Baili Baoshu, who was dressed in men's clothes, and begged.

Dressed in plain white brocade, covered with a bamboo-blue robe, the long black hair was tucked high behind his head, and tightly fastened with a clear white jade crown.

The delicate eyes reflect the lights of the night, and in the blink of an eye, it is a dazzling brilliance that cannot be seen directly.

The long eyebrows are slightly thicker, adding a bit of handsome heroism to the whole fair little face, and the diamond lips are slightly curved to look at Baili Baoyou, who is almost as tall as himself.

"The gentleman is quick to say a whip, you want to regret it", Baili Baoshu will not let go of Baili Baoyou's request this time.

Baili Baoyou reluctantly looked at the stall that was getting farther and farther away, and turned his head a little unwillingly, but now he honestly walked next to Baili Baoshu and didn't say anything.

"Master, ......", even the magpie who was wearing ordinary clothes on the side was a little unbearable and wanted to intercede for Baili Baoyou.

Although Baili Baoyou looked a little depressed and lowered his head, from the moment the magpie spoke, he instantly raised his ears and listened to the following words...... It's just that after waiting for a long time, I didn't hear the words that should be good for me below, and I just wanted to raise my head slightly to give the magpie a look, but I heard the second half of the sentence......

“…… It's getting late, and it's time for us to go back, master."

Baili Baoyou hated that iron could not become steel, and he raised his head and looked at his sister with a smile, looking at him with a smile, and he was deflated like a deflated ball.

One left and one right, Feng Ci and Nian Yao, who were walking in front of him, also paused, and the reward who walked slowly behind also yawned and looked at the subjects of Qiang Country who came and went, protecting the master on this occasion, but he was alive and well, and he should go back early.

Baili Baoyou sat in the carriage and couldn't get enough of it, so he pulled up the small curtain on the carriage and looked out.

The carriage looked ordinary on the outside, but the space inside was very large, and the magpie took out a small copper basin from the side and got some water inside, wet the handkerchief and handed it to Baili Baoshu to wipe his hands.

"Sister, when will we come out to play next time, it's okay to come out early, I haven't seen anything and I'm going back to the palace", the carriage increased its speed, and Baili Baoyou let go of the curtain in his hand, looking at Baili Baoshu with anticipation.

"Whether I want to take you or not, naturally it depends on your performance", Baili Baoshu handed the handkerchief in his hand to the magpie and smoothed the non-existent folds on the sleeves, "But I am not satisfied with your performance this time, do you know how many dissatisfaction I have?" ”。

"Sister, I'm sure I'll remember what I said next time."

"What else?" , Baili Baoshu looked at Baili Baoyou and looked at himself a little puzzled, and he was not in a hurry to ask, "When will you figure it out, when will you come and talk to me again."

The carriage slowly drove into the deep palace wall, and through the inner wall, it traveled from the other side of the path to the direction of the harem.

The two sedan chairs that came over took the initiative were side by side, and they both saw the carriage that was about to disappear around the corner.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is really ...... It's really getting more and more stubborn, as the eldest princess of the Qiang Kingdom, how can she be so rash", Mrs. Liang said with a blow on his beard.

"What kind of system".

Elder Qi Ge also retracted his glittering eyes, "Taifu Liang, don't be angry, the matter of the eldest princess, I and other foreign ministers should take care of it."
