Chapter 354: Teaching to Be a Man (Three Watches Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The empress was able to make such an unreasonable request, wasn't it because the Emperor of Northern Qi supported her again?
Otherwise, she could be "alone" in the Empress Palace of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom for so many years?
She brought it up, not to discuss with them at all, but to choose one of the two, and if there is no benefit, she will lose face and embarrass you.
Moreover, letting Yingsleeve and Xiao Lei go to the coffin of Yuan Yinglan in the Northern Qi Kingdom is also a dead move.
They all knew that as soon as these two sisters and brothers set foot on the land of the Northern Qi Kingdom, they would definitely return to the Eastern Yuan Kingdom with three coffins. - They won't give them both a chance to come back alive.
Therefore, Northern Qi and Empress Qi Xueyun just want the throne of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.
Xie Dongli and Shen Dacheng glanced at each other, and said in unison: "It's better to be the prince of Fengjia County as the emperor's grandson." β
Emperor Yuan Hong smiled and said, "I think so too. β
What if you are crowned the emperor's grandson?
Even the crown prince is often abolished, let alone a mere imperial grandson?
Soon, Emperor Yuan Hong issued a holy decree, sealing Yuan Yingjia as the emperor's grandson, and the deceased Yuan Yinglan as the princess, and ordering Murong Changqing, the prince of Changxing, to go to the Northern Qi Kingdom to welcome her coffin back to China with the princess's honor guard.
β¦β¦
Xie Dongli returned to his house and first went to meet his two elder brothers, Xie Dongyi and Xie Dongming.
"Big brother, second brother, Yuan Yinglan died in the Northern Qi Kingdom, His Majesty named her a princess, Yuan Yingjia wanted to be crowned the emperor's grandson, and at the same time sent Murong Changqing to Northern Qi to welcome back Yuan Yinglan's coffin for a thick burial." Xie Dongli said briefly, and at the same time transcribed the note of the Northern Qi Emperor and showed it to Xie Dongyi and Xie Dongming.
"I'm going to be the emperor's grandson again?!" Xie Dongyi and Xie Dongming both sank their faces. The two got together and looked at the note of the Northern Qi Emperor with Xie Dongyi's hand.
ββ¦β¦ The million-strong army of the Northern Qi Dynasty can really teach us how to be human beings at any time. Xie Dongyi sighed.
He and Xie Dongming have always followed the path of military generals. In the Xie family, a family of prime ministers of this generation, it seems very unusual.
At the beginning, everyone thought that there was no successor to the Xie family, and after the death of the great prime minister Xie Fu, Xie Dongyi and Xie Dongming still refused to take the imperial examination, and the position of prime minister of the Xie family was occupied by the Zhang family, and the three marquis and five of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom were about to expel the Xie family.
It wasn't until Xie Fu's youngest son, Xie Donglian, finally grew up and became a blockbuster. only to revive the hope of the Xie family.
In fact, who would have thought that Xie Dongyi and Xie Dongming would refuse to go down the imperial examination and be obsessed with the road of joining the army. Is there actually another reason?
Even so, Xie Dongyi and Xie Dongming also knew that the military strength of Dongyi State could not be compared with that of Northern Qi.
Desperately fish to die and the net is broken. may be able to fight with Northern Qi. But after doing a fight, the Northern Qi can still recover, and the Eastern Yuan Kingdom can only be destroyed directly......
In particular, there is also Nan Zhengguo, a country that is trying to be left and right, and is always ready to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Xie Dongli took down the black panther map hanging in the study, revealing a territory map behind the black panther map.
This is a very detailed map of the territory of the Zhongzhou continent, and the following inscription shows that Xie Dongli and his father Xie Fu left behind.
"Actually, we don't have to be presumptuous." Xie Dongli said in a deep voice, "The wind and rain in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom have been smooth for more than 20 years, and they have eased up. To fight a war, the first thing to fight is grain and grass. In this regard, we are much stronger than Northern Qi. As long as we can withstand the attack of Northern Qi for half a year. Northern Qi itself had to be dragged across by grain and grass. The million-strong army sounds good, let him really transfer to the siege to try. After a month, at least half of his Northern Qi will be reversed. After two months, the other half will also be reversed. And we, not to be intimidated by them, the first thing to do is to deal with Nan Zhengguo first, and turn Nan Zhengguo into our reliable ally, instead of always waiting to fight the autumn wind. β
Speaking of which, when you have money, it's still easy to do things.
In the past, the Eastern Yuan country had no silver, so it was almost wiped out by the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Now that the Eastern Yuan Kingdom has recuperated after so many years, its population has increased, even if it cannot directly attack the Northern Qi, it is still capable of self-preservation.
Xie Dongyi looked at this map and said for a long time: "Dongli, you want me to go to Northern Qi with Murong Changqing to pick up Yuan Yinglan's coffin." β
"Big brother, do you want to go to Northern Qi to have a look?" Xie Dongming asked puzzledly, "Why don't you let me go." β
Xie Dongyi shook his head, "You stay in Dongyuan Kingdom, I'll go." What has Northern Qi been like over the years, I have to go and see it for myself to feel at ease. β
They didn't want to create a rebellion against the Northern Qi, but their family wanted to redress their grievances, and the Northern Qi at least had to change the emperor.
Xie Dongli nodded slowly, "Big brother should go and take a look." After a pause, he said: "Let's see which prince Murong Changqing is good friends with Northern Qi, and the eldest brother should also take a good look at the current prince of Northern Qi." Their eldest prince is no longer there, and the fourth prince was deposed because of the matter of the eldest prince, and now I really don't know which prince the Northern Qi Emperor prefers to take over. β
"The emperor of Northern Qi was reluctant to appoint a crown prince." Xie Dongming complained, "It's really cunning and cunning, it's all sick like that, and he still refuses to let go of power." β
Xie Donglian's heart moved, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "Second brother has a good plan!" β
"Huh? I? Xie Dongming pointed to his nose with his finger, "How can I be so strategic?" What did I just say? β
Xie Dongyi also looked at Xie Dongli in puzzlement.
Xie Dongli smiled: "Establish a prince! The second brother proposed such a good plan, it was really a good move. Wait for me to discuss it with the Prime Minister and His Majesty. We can't always wait for the Northern Qi to give us problems and teach us how to behave. We also have to teach the prince of Northern Qi to be a man, so that the emperor of Northern Qi can find that his sons are all eloquent and strategic, and they are all from heaven and earth, isn't it good? β
Xie Dongyi and Xie Dongming glanced at each other and said in surprise: "You mean...... Want to start with the prince of Northern Qi? β
"Not only the prince of Northern Qi, but also the minister." Xie Dongli already had a plan in his heart, he squinted his deep and dark eyes, and no one could see the light under his eyes clearly, "...... At least half of our officials in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom are only the leaders of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and it is time to use them to exert their residual heat. β
The matter of establishing a prince is not something that the emperor says will not be established, but it also depends on whether the people below and the prince agree.
There are pros and cons to everything.
Hasn't Northern Qi always been complacent about having many princes?
The car has come to "King X to seize the heir" a few times, and no matter how powerful the dynasty is, it has to lie down.
β¦β¦
After discussing with Xie Dongyi and Xie Dongming. Xie Dongli returned to his new house in the inner courtyard.
Yingsleeve is preparing for the New Year's gift in the house.
Although they have not yet separated, Xie Dongli is a deputy minister and a civil official. is different from the path taken by the two elder brothers, and he is also from a civil official family, so the New Year's ceremony must be separated.
In the past, when Xie Dongli was not married, his sister-in-law Lu Ruilan helped him take care of it.
Now that he is married, he naturally wants his wife to take care of it. What's more, after the separation in the future, it will all depend on Yingsleeve.
Lu Ruilan had already sent her the list of gifts over the years and asked her to look at it first. If you don't understand, ask them.
Yingsleeves responded, and read Xie Dongli's New Year's gift list from beginning to end in the house.
Fortunately, Xie Dongli has only been in the company for a few years, and the annual New Year's gifts are not too much and complicated.
"What are you looking at?" Xie Dongli walked up to Yingsleeve and asked.
Look up with sleeves. Seeing Xie Dongli coming in, he smiled and said, "You are really, you don't let people pass it on when you come in, it scares me." β
"My own home. What is the use of communication? Xie Dongli sat down beside her disapprovingly.
Yingsleeve bit her lip. His eyes rolled and he said, "Then I can go to your outer study, or I can break in casually without passing the word?" β
Xie Dongli: "......"
Sure enough, it is red near Zhu, and black near ink!
The ability to draw inferences is getting stronger and stronger.
ββ¦β¦ I'll let people pass it on later. Xie Dongli is as good as a stream, "Okay, right?" β
Ying Sleeve glanced at him, "Why are you reluctant?" Am I wrong? ββThis is the East Second Room, just like my study. β
Xie Dongli nodded. "Madame is reasonable, she is in Xia Menglang."
Yingsleeve: "......"
All right. Still inferior to him.
Yingsleeve put down the New Year's gift list, personally made tea for Xie Dongli, delivered it to him, and said curiously: "What's wrong?" Your Majesty actually announced your entry into the palace at this time? β
It's still Xie Dongli's "marriage leave", which is not a particularly important matter, and it won't bother him.
Xie Dongli lowered his head and took a sip and said, "It's Yuan Yinglan." β
"What's wrong with her? Didn't you go to Northern Qi? Ying Sleeve looked at Xie Dongli's eyes, "Could it be that she is dead?" Died in Northern Qi? β
She was very confident in her Sanjanmaru, so she didn't think that she would be immortal.
Xie Dongli smiled and nodded, "It's dead, dead in Northern Qi, but the Emperor of Northern Qi is very dissatisfied with this." As he spoke, he also showed Yingsleeve the transcription of the note of the Northern Qi Emperor.
Yingsleeve took it and glanced at it, very angry, "Teach Your Majesty to be a man?!" It's so deceitful! β
"Also, the queen took the opportunity to propose that either you and Xiao Lei be sent to Northern Qi to welcome back Yuan Yinglan's coffin, or Feng Yuan Yingjia will be the emperor's grandson." Xie Dongli took the note and threw it into the smoke cage and burned it.
"Damn Yuan Yinglan, if you die, you won't let people live in peace!" Yingsleeve was very dissatisfied, she looked at Xie Dongli, "I'll go alone, Xiao Lei can't go." β
"Would you like to go? But you have to know that if you go, there will definitely be no return. Northern Qi will definitely avenge Yuan Yinglan, and he can kill one by one. Xie Dongli said quietly, "You see that they are all using a million army to scare us." β
Ying Sleeve took a deep breath and once again made sure that he was right to leave Yuan Yingjia's life, if Yuan Yingjia was also killed, this million army would definitely come directly.
"Dongli, you say, why is Northern Qi eyeing us Dongyuan? We don't have any requirements for them...... "Yingsleeve is dissatisfied, "can't you live your own life?" β
"Of course not." Xie Dongli raised his eyebrows, "Northern Qi has always boasted of inheriting the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou, and in five hundred years, what they want is to unify the Zhongzhou Continent. β
Yingsleeve shook his head, "What then?" β
"Your Majesty has decided to crown Yuan Yingjia as the emperor's grandson, and let Murong Changqing go to welcome Yuan Yinglan's coffin back to China. - Forget it, leave them alone, we've been married for less than a month, and these people are really going to find trouble......" Xie Dongli said as he sat closer to Yingsleeve, and his hand was quietly stretched out to hold Yingsleeve's hand.
Yingsleeve hurriedly retracted his hand suddenly, and said shyly: "What are you doing?" β
"I want to touch you......"
"Nope."
"Why?"
"It's a fine day today, if you touch me, you'll get a rash......" Yingsleeve didn't look over, very embarrassed.
"Can't die. I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? Xie Dongli looked at the white and greasy neck, his Adam's apple moved, and his voice became even lower.
"Of course I'm afraid!" Yingsleeve hurriedly moved away from him, "How embarrassed! Tomorrow we will get up together in the morning, and everyone will know if we have anything at night by looking at your face...... How embarrassing ......"
