Chapter 033: Heavy Troops
When the number of vacancies in the capital and the military camps in various places was filled, the elite soldiers sent to the various borders were immediately ready to go.
Three days later, Emperor Guangzhao personally set up a banquet to congratulate the generals and commanders, and arranged for the chef to set up a cauldron on the Qili Pavilion outside the palace to cook and cook, and serve a sumptuous lunch to all the elite soldiers who were about to send to the border.
At noon, the elite soldiers who had eaten lunch gathered under the command of the commander, and Emperor Guangzhao, the crown prince, the three princes, the prime minister and others all came to see off. It was originally an extremely honorable thing to be ordered to garrison the frontier, but now that the emperor himself came to send it, the morale of the soldiers was very high.
Under the command of the commander, the elite soldiers lined up in a long line and set off for the border in a mighty way.
From a distance, the elite army looked like a long dragon, moving forward at a uniform speed. The people also all came out of their homes, followed this long dragon through the streets and alleys, climbed the mountain and crossed the pass, for a time, the road was full of people, the footsteps of thousands of troops and horses and the cheers of the people gathered together, the scene was very spectacular.
Residents often gave away dry food, steamed buns and other things to the places where the soldiers passed, and some people escorted them all the way until they were out of sight.
"The emperor should be a lot more determined now, right?"
"Don't talk about the emperor, our hearts are also much more steady."
The common people were talking one after another, and they all had happy smiles on their faces.
Emperor Guangzhao stood on the tower of the city gate, looking at their distant figures, and felt unprecedented stability in his heart.
A small change can bring such a real peace to the heart, and he is more confident in the future of the Xi Kingdom. And this qiΔ actually originated from a little woman's construction, which is really incredible when you think about it.
Ten days later, news came back from all the border areas -- the elite troops stationed in the country had been settled, and the work of training field soldiers was also in full swing.
Emperor Guangzhao was greatly pleased, he walked out of the Zichen Palace, and climbed the highest pagoda in the palace, looking around on the top of the tower, but seeing that the sky was clear and clear, the sun was shining, and the mountains in the distance and the trees near were full of vitality, he exhaled deeply, and said to Gonggong Liu, who followed closely: "Go and pass on Miss Shen." β
"No." Gonggong Liu immediately took the order and left.
Half a cup of tea was less than enough, and Xizhen climbed to the top of the tower with the guqin in his arms.
"Miss Shen, sue sΓΉ me, are the rivers and mountains of Xi Country beautiful?" Emperor Guangzhao looked at the scenery in the distance and asked Xizhen.
"There is no need to doubt that the country of Xi is picturesque and full of style." Hee-jin replied as he put the piano down.
"Miss Shen, for a long time to come, I hope that you will always loyally give advice to the future of Xi Kingdom, so that Xi Kingdom will become better and better." Emperor Guangzhao looked at her solemnly and said.
"The courtiers are willing to do their best and die."
"Tell me, what kind of reward do you want to get after proposing this series of reforms?"
"The courtiers haven't thought about it yet, so it's better to keep it for now, and wait for the credit to accumulate more and then calculate it."
"Okay, it's the first time I've seen someone like you who isn't greedy for fame and fortune, come, just play a song for me in this good spring, will you be able to do this?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xi Zhen smiled slightly, sat down on the bench, and gently stroked the strings with her bare hands, and the sound of Qingyue's piano poured out, and then, she lightly opened her lips and sang generously:
Guanghan Palace, thousands of miles with Yunxiao. The snow was full of air, and Jian Yunying and the immortals arrived.
Floating monk's house, sprinkling song building in secret places, few leisure days. Good view. And laugh together.
In the depths of Huatang, the ship is full of boats. Mei Rui dismantled it, and it has been stolen, and the spring breeze is a little small.
Qiluo is fragrant and warm, not afraid of rolling bead curtains, and is drunk. Pour before the bottle. Redsleeves Hugh came to call.
Qingyue's piano sound coupled with her eloquent singing voice made Emperor Guangzhao deeply intoxicated, and after the song was over, he was still unsatisfied, and looked at Xizhen with a smile and said, "Miss Shen, do you like this song?" β
"I like it very much, if the courtiers are not mistaken, the emperor seems to be particularly interested in things related to immortals."
"Oh? Where does this begin? β
"The courtiers guessed from the songs you like to hear, and from the paintings and poems that hang in your palace."
"Miss Shen is so careful! Seeing you stroking the piano in front of me reminded me of King Seipei, who would play a song for me every time he entered Kyoto. And he also loves to read and be alone, but he has a lot in common with you. β
"How dare the courtiers compare with the king of Qingping."
"Miss Shen, don't be humble, by the way, Miss Shen, do you have an impression of King Qingping?"
Hee-jin nodded.
"He also told me that he was very impressed with you." Emperor Guangzhao said again. Xi Zhen's cheeks were immediately dyed red.
Seeing her expression, Emperor Guangzhao already understood a little in his heart, he used his luck, and said loudly: "It's really strange, when you are in front of me, I always feel very kind, as if the person in front of me is my daughter. β
"The courtiers understand, thank you for the emperor's trust in the courtiers." Xi Zhen hurriedly got up and saluted.
"At the beginning of next month, King Qingping will return to Beijing to report on his work, and I want to listen to your ensemble at that time, what do you think?"
"Good!" Hee-jin replied with a smile. She knew that Emperor Guangzhao's words were punns.
"My country can only be consolidated thanks to the assistance of all people of insight, and now that you have joined, the future of Xi Kingdom will definitely be brighter, come, I salute you." Emperor Guangzhao picked up his wine glass and said sincerely to Xi Zhen.
Xi Zhen hurriedly picked up the wine glass and saluted: "The courtiers also toast the emperor with a glass, thank the emperor for his love!" "Drink it all.
Looking at Xizhen, whose face did not change, Emperor Guangzhao laughed: "I didn't expect you to drink alcohol, so let's drink a few more glasses." β
Xi Zhen hurriedly refused: "If you drink it again, you will lose your temper, so I beg the emperor to show mercy." β
Emperor Guangzhao has always respected her, so he was not reluctant, so he said: "Then you can play another song for me." β
"Okay." Xi Zhen immediately straightened his sitting posture and bounced.
Emperor Guangzhao listened to the piano while drinking, and felt that the burden that had been pressed on him for decades was much lighter at this moment. He drank slowly, savoring it carefully, feeling more and more comfortable, his heart had not been so quiet and steady for a long time.
Looking at the fifteen-year-old beautiful girl in front of him who was concentrating on stroking the qin, Emperor Guangzhao seemed to see the future of Xi Kingdom, and he liked this feeling very much. He decided to put this talent to good use.
And Xizhen could certainly guess his thoughts, but she remained silent.
After playing this song, Xizhen got up and retired, and Emperor Guangzhao nodded.
After Emperor Guangzhao returned to the Zichen Palace, he asked Gonggong Liu to go to Prince Xuan.
After a stick of incense, the prince came in.
After motioning for the prince to sit down, Emperor Guangzhao said, "Can'er, about the matter that you want to marry Xizhen as a side concubine...... I originally wanted to wait for you to marry Miss Moon before telling you about my decision, but after thinking about it carefully, it is better to sue you as soon as possible, so that you don't have to worry about this matter all the time. β
Hearing Emperor Guangzhao say this, Chu Zican immediately had a bad premonition, but at the same time, he also had a little bit of expectation. As the queen mother said, the father's city was very deep and his mind was very heavy, and it was difficult for them to perceive his true thoughts, and therefore it was difficult to predict his decisions.
However, Chu Zican is also ready to do both, if his father agrees, it will naturally be good, so that he can pursue Xizhen generously. If he doesn't agree, he will try hard, but the development of things will be much more difficult, even hopeless.
"Okay, I'm listening."
"As the saying goes: Fate sometimes needs to be there, and fate is not always forced, I advise you not to think about this matter anymore, and to tie the knot with the girl of the moon with peace of mind."
"But there is no conflict between Erchen marrying the Moon Girl and marrying Miss Xizhen as a side concubine." Although Chu Zican had already been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but shrink in his heart when he heard Emperor Guangzhao say this, so he immediately took advantage of the situation to fight.
"It's true that there is no conflict, it's just that you and her are not very suitable."
"What do you mean by that?"
"The Heavenly Master said that you can't do things together, but it's better to cooperate from afar." Emperor Guangzhao thought for a while and replied. He didn't want to say what the Heavenly Master said, but in the end, he still thought that he had to say it in order to completely dispel the prince's thoughts.
"Really?" Chu Zican's face showed a hint of loss.
Seeing the look on the prince's face, Emperor Guangzhao was also very unbearable, and hurriedly comforted: "Can'er, there are so many women in the world, don't be reluctant." β
"Then Father, who do you think is more suitable for her to be with?" Chu Zican raised his head and looked at Emperor Guangzhao and asked.
Emperor Guangzhao was immediately stunned, looked at the crown prince who was looking directly at him with fixed eyes, and stopped talking several times.
Seeing Emperor Guangzhao's reaction like this, Chu Zican was a little angry, and felt from the bottom of his heart that his father had reservations about his love.
He couldn't even figure out whether his father loved him or not.
As the crown prince, he has been loved by thousands of people since he was a child, and the only thing he feels is complicated when he is here with his father.
Regarding the succession to the throne, everyone thought that he was the right candidate, but his father never gave a clear statement, which also made him feel aggrieved.
"Father, I have grown up, I am no longer a puppet at the mercy of others, from now on, I will strive for everything I want, including the throne of the future monarch, I will not give up my vested position lightly, absolutely not." He said silently in his heart
