The Tatars attacked the border, and although they did not break through the city, they suffered numerous casualties. What's more, when winter comes, the Tatars will inevitably lack food and clothing, and in the event of a snowstorm, they will freeze to death herds of cattle and sheep. If they don't rob the border of Dajiachao, how will they survive the winter?

Therefore, war or non-war is on the agenda. The court meeting lasted for several days, and the arguments were fierce and inconclusive.

Mrs. Zhang caught a cold, and Wang Zhongfang saw it and said that it would be good to take two doses of medicine. Because she was old, the weather was cold for several days, the sky was gloomy, and it looked like it was going to snow at any time, Cui Keyin was really not at ease, and after taking care of the housework, she hugged Lele and went over, and accompanied Mrs. Zhang to finish lunch before coming back.

As soon as Cui Keyin entered the door, she heard Lele's cry, and when the two nurses saw her, they were relieved and said, "The princess is back." ”

They are nurses, and Cola does not eat their milk, and their status in the house is inevitably embarrassing.

As soon as Lele arrived in Cui Keyin's hands, he immediately stopped crying. Now he is beginning to recognize people, especially when he is hungry, without Cui Keyin by his side, he will cry and shake.

After coaxing Lele, Cui Keyin looked at the gift list presented by Liu Yongzhi for the New Year, and said, "Let's do it as last year." ”

Liu Yongzhi said: "This year, the prince has the right to approve Zhu, is the New Year's gift reduced by one percent according to last year?" ”

Cui Keyin said: "The prince's management of government affairs is no longer in line with the ancestral system, and there are a lot of people who have complaints, so we must not leave the impression that we are pampered and proud." Everything is according to last year, just like the prince is still an idle prince, and when you give New Year's gifts, it is the same as last year, and the number of gifts you should have cannot be missing. No disrespectful manners are allowed. ”

Liu Yongzhi responded and went to handle it himself.

In the past few days, Zhou Heng has been returning to the house very late, Cui Keyin sent someone to the palace gate to see if Zhou Heng had left the palace, and the guards sent soon came back and said, "The prince is back." ”

But it was at the gate of the house that he met Zhou Heng's guard of honor.

Zhou Heng came in, and happily held a stack of high folds in the back.

Cui Keyin greeted him and said, "Why are there so many twists and turns?" ”

When will this be approved?

Zhou Heng said: "After arguing for a day today, I didn't have time to approve it. Brother Huang is really right, even if he is not ready to fight, he should be prepared. You can send troops at any time. ”

The ministers quarreled for a day. Emperor Zhi'an fell asleep sitting on the dragon chair, and Zhou Heng gave him countless looks, but he didn't see it.

"What are you arguing about?" Cui Keyin motioned for Huanxi to put down the fold and go out, and twisted the handkerchief herself. Hand it to Zhou Heng. "How did you decide in the end?" ”

Zhou Heng wiped his face. said: "Where is the decision, it seems that we will have to continue to argue tomorrow." It's just a war or no war, is it up to us to do this? Even if we don't fight. The Tatars will also stir up trouble, so it is better to attack them head-on and teach them a lesson. ”

The Tatars are a people who grow on horseback, and the Dajia Dynasty is mainly based on farming, and their riding skills are not as good as the Tatars, and most of the time they rely on strong cities to hold on, and the number of defeats against the Tatars is relatively rare. It is precisely because of this that the Tatars have nothing to fear.

Zhou Heng was very unimpressed with this, everyone is human, there are many people in the Great Jia Dynasty, or one out of a thousand, or one out of ten thousand, can't you pick some good seedlings and train them since childhood, and cultivate a good cavalry? In the past, he had empty ambitions, but he couldn't put his beak in the government, since he had the right to Zhu Pi, he had made several suggestions to Emperor Zhi'an, and Emperor Zhi'an was always noncommittal. Now, for a while, it is impossible to win with cavalry. However, the idea of forming a horse riding team was put on his agenda.

Cui Keyin smiled slightly and said, "The prince must be the main battle faction." ”

Zhou Heng sighed: "What's the use of that?" Even the secretary of the military department said not to worry, the Tatars were just passing by. There is a great sense that the Tatars will no longer rob after grabbing enough. I'm really. ”

Xia Bing, a sixty-five-year-old man, can have any blood? How can such a person sit in the position of the secretary of the military department? Zhou Heng almost asked for his dismissal on the spot, he was out of the ranks, and when he saw that Emperor An was sleeping and snoring, he retreated in frustration.

Cui Keyin poured the tea and handed it over, saying, "Drink a cup of tea first to dissipate your anger." There's always a way to fix it. ”

Zhou Heng drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp and said, "I'm afraid it will still make Tartar proud." It's always our great dynasty that suffers, and I'm unwilling. ”

If you don't destroy the Tartars according to him, you will not be reconciled. No cavalry? Training is it. Archery is inferior to people? Training is it. Don't have a good horse? Just find a way to buy cultures. What is there in this world that does not come step by step? As long as you really want to do it, what can't you do? Everyone has one nose and two eyes, who is better than whom?

Cui Keyin saw that he was really angry, and persuaded: "You also know the emperor's temperament, how can he take the initiative to provoke?" I think he is the one who is passively beaten. ”

"Not really." Zhou Heng exhaled.

"Isn't there a bloody person in the military department?" Cui Keyin was puzzled. Who doesn't want to go to war as a soldier? Only with military merits can you be crowned a marquis, otherwise, where did the marquis come from?

Zhou Heng shook his head and said, "Don't you know, the old courtiers before my father and emperor have been driven out of the court by Wang Zhe these years, or they can't get used to seeing the emperor's brother come from Wang Zhe and return to their hometown." I remember that there used to be a general who was very good at leading troops, named Yang Qinghe, and when I asked yesterday, I realized that he had already returned to his hometown to cultivate the fields. I have already sent someone to look for it. ”

Cui Keyin said: "Now that the political affairs are in the hands of the prince, as long as Wang Zhe doesn't mess up, everything will slowly get better." ”

Saying that, she also searched in her mind, which are the famous generals in the court? I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't expect one.

Zhou Heng said: "I'm afraid that there is not much time to prepare, and I have asked the imperial brother to issue an order for Datong to strengthen its defense." Jiang Xiaotian is really not good, I want to withdraw, Wang Zhe jumped out to protect him. We quarreled for a long time, and finally the royal brother actually said that the matter would be discussed later. He is the commander who caused the mutiny, he should have been removed from office a long time ago, what is there to discuss? This man was appointed by him, and he actually accused me of not knowing how to use people. Even Guo Shouning couldn't stand it anymore, and contradicted him twice. ”

Cui Keyin said: "I'm just afraid of this, Jiang Xiaotian sent a lot of silver to Wang Zhe, if there is no silver, how can Wang Zhe protect him?" ”

really made Cui Keyin guess that something had happened, Jiang Xiaotian suppressed the mutinous soldiers, and at the same time sent someone to send gold, silver and jewelry to Wang Zhe, so that Wang Zhe could say good things in front of Emperor Zhi'an.

Zhou Heng just sighed and didn't speak, but in his heart he decided that Cui Keyin was right. Wang Zhe is insatiable, if there is no benefit, how can he stand out for Jiang Xiaotian?

Zhou Heng approved a few letters, and when he saw one, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said, "Finally, there is one person available." ”

showed the fold to Cui Keyin, but it was a man named Lang Zhongshang who asked to go to Datong, and the fold also listed six ways to deal with Tatar horseback. Each one hits the nail on the head.

Zhou Heng immediately asked Huanxi to ask for a wish to come to the house to talk, and ordered to set up a meal and eat well to see this guest. (To be continued.) )
