Chapter 640: Its Plan to Break the Gold
Prince's Mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liang Ao held the battle report sent from the front in his hand, sighed, and said to Liang Ao, who was sitting opposite:
"Kosi sent out five hundred warships this time, and even if we count all the warships, there are only two hundred, which is far from enough."
Liang Yi was silent for a while and said:
"It's not necessarily enough, five years ago, my father ordered me to supervise the construction of two hundred new warships on Pengling Island, although the sum is still not enough, but it is still okay to surprise Kosi."
Liang Ao was stunned for a moment, and his heart became complicated, he had never heard of the news of Liang E's supervision of the warship, and he didn't know how much Liang E. had. He always thought that Liang Yi only asked about civil politics, and because he was not good at it, he rarely involved in military affairs, but he didn't expect that Liang Yi secretly participated a lot in military politics.
His heart became more and more uncomfortable, he was annoyed by his past negligence, and his wariness of Liang Yi spontaneously appeared, he felt a threat from Liang Yi's body, and the feeling of being defeated, and his mood at this time was even more unhappy than when he came just now.
Raising his eyes, he found that Liang Yi was looking at him, Liang Ao's heart sank, he restrained his expression, and said lightly:
"That being said, two hundred more warships do increase a lot of combat power, but who to send. It is more difficult to find talents in the navy than in the army, and it is really impossible to find a suitable one when looking at the DPRK and China. ”
"I also thought of this, I picked two of the most suitable candidates and asked Lin Jiang to bring them, just so you can also meet them." Liang said.
Liang Ao frowned, full of suspicion, he looked at Liang Ao's smiling face, and muttered in his heart. He thought about it, and thought about all the generals in the court, and he couldn't figure out who the suitable candidate in Liang Yi's mouth was, and it was two.
Liang Yi picked up the ginseng tea on the table and took a shallow sip.
At this moment, the guard Lin Jiang suddenly came in, asked for peace first, and said with a serious expression:
"Your Highness, someone brought it."
Liang Yi nodded, and motioned for everyone to come in.
Liang Ao looked at the door suspiciously.
Two young men walked in, one of them was a handsome man in a water-green coarse cotton robe, his long naturally curly hair was tied back with a square scarf, and he wore a gold-rimmed glasses inlaid with tortoiseshell in front of his right eye, monocles with delicately patterned tassels, and his appearance was gentle, and his demeanor was elegant. The man standing beside him was much taller than him, and when he first entered the door, his head was almost beyond the door frame, and he was wearing an old white robe with a slight yellowing, and his eyebrows were clear and delicate, and he was as elegant as a star, but his face was very haggard, and he was abnormally pale, as if he had survived in a confined space for a long time.
Liang Ao was shocked.
The people who came were actually Liang Gu, King An, who had been demoted to a commoner, and Liang Xiao, the king of Xiang, who was imprisoned in the Ziyun Hall for life.
Liang Gu and Liang Xiao were uncomfortable, this was not only the first time they entered the Prince's Mansion after experiencing a major failure and changing their identities, but also the first reunion of their two brothers, Liang Gu and Liang Xiao were the best, but after each other suffered a fiasco, they both chose to turn a blind eye to each other.
None of them expected that they would be remembered by Liang Yi at this juncture and suddenly brought over by force, and their hearts were very repulsed, because of rejection, they didn't even do the most basic etiquette.
At this time, Liang Ao probably understood what Liang Yi wanted to do, his mood was more complicated than just now, and he asked himself, he would never be as benevolent as Liang Yi, and at the same time, he was not as bold as Liang Yi.
Liang Gu and Liang Xiao stood at the door, without saying a word.
Liang Yi sat at the table and said nothing.
Liang Ao glanced at them, paused, faced Liang Gu and Liang Xiao, and said in a deep voice:
"I don't even understand the rules after changing my identity, and I don't kneel yet!"
Liang Gu and Liang Xiao glanced at him, and were silent for a while, Liang Gu took the lead in lifting his robe and knelt down, and said in a low voice:
"The grass people greet His Royal Highness the Prince."
Liang Xiang glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, stood straight for a long time, and then bent his knees and knelt down unwillingly, without saying a word.
Liang Yi sat at the table, his expression was very calm, he stared at the person kneeling below for a while, then said softly, and said:
"Last night, five hundred warships from the Kosi Kingdom attacked Dingning Port at night."
Liang Gu and Liang Xiao were stunned when they heard this, they had been closed for a long time, and they didn't know about it.
General Song sent an urgent report, asking for reinforcements, Pengling Island could send 200 new warships, but the naval soldiers Yamen of Liangdu could only send 50,000 troops to Pingyi Port to support. In the current court, there is no suitable person for territorial naval warfare, if it is twenty years earlier, General Mu and General Zhou are suitable candidates, but unfortunately General Mu is seventy-five years old this year, and even General Zhou is seventy, I really don't worry about sending them out, and there are no suitable ones for the younger ones. ”
He talked to himself about the situation of the war and the difficulties of the generals of the DPRK and China, and the listeners could not guess what he meant.
Liang Yijing said to himself for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said:
"Old Five, when the Kosi Kingdom invaded the territorial waters four years ago, General Song's method to repel the pirates was yours, right?"
Liang Xiao was stunned, frowned at him, and said nothing.
"You once studied under General Mu, and your father also said that you are the best at naval warfare among the princes, although you have never led troops alone, but you have participated in many operations to clear out pirates, and you can be regarded as experienced. And you know the Chinese language of Corsi, you know the people and customs of Corsi, you also know many powerful people in Corsi, and now, no one is more suitable than you to lead troops to sea. ”
Liang Xiao laughed for a while, he still thought that Liang Yi suddenly called him to torture him, and actually asked him to lead the army against Corsi:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the criminal minister is imprisoned in the Purple Cloud Hall by the emperor and will not be allowed to leave for life."
"This palace knows, so now this palace promises you as a prince that as long as you can make the Kosi country withdraw without damaging the capital of Yue Liang Kingdom, if you return successfully, once this palace ascends the throne, this palace will pardon all your crimes, and you are still the king of Xiang; If you die in battle, the palace will also restore your title after ascending the throne and bury you in a grand honor. This is the first time Liang Xiao has said the word "enthronement", which is a big contradictory word, but at this time, it is extremely convincing.
Liang Xiao was incredulous, he looked at Liang Yi with incredible eyes, and he felt funny.
"You are bold, if you let me go, aren't you afraid that I will help Kexi Kingdom destroy Yueliang Kingdom?" Liang Xiao said coldly.
"Fifth brother!" Liang Gu frowned, he couldn't hold back any longer, and his words stopped Liang Xiao's meaningless provocation.
Liang Xiao was a little surprised that he would call him "Fifth Brother", and he glanced at Liang Gu in a little surprise.
"I really didn't feel scared." Liang Yi answered Liang Xiao's question frankly, and he said lightly, "Ah Xiao, you forced the palace to be the monarch of Yue Liang State, not to betray the country, am I right?" Maybe you have a lot of resentment towards the Liang family, but you don't resent Yue Liangguo, as you said, you also hope that Yue Liangguo will become strong. No matter how reluctant you are, you are a member of the Liang royal family, the country is here, and the country is dead; No matter how much you hate it, you are my younger brother, even if you are imprisoned in the Purple Cloud Palace, even if you are changed your name, blood is thicker than water, you will always be my younger brother, this is something that no one can change. ”
Liang Xiao didn't speak again, he didn't know how much he listened to Liang Yi's words, in short, he was silent.
"The seventh goes out with the fifth old, if you can assist the fifth to force back from the Kosi country, you will be the same as the seventh." Liang continued.
Liang Gu was slightly stunned and looked at him in surprise.
Liang Yi hooked his lips and said with a smile: "Old Seven, don't think that I don't know that you also have business in Kosi, I will hide this from my father for you." Although I do not approve of my father's blockade of the coastline and the prohibition of maritime trade, my father naturally has his own considerations, and many things cannot be rushed for a while, but must be considered in the long run. You are the prince of Yueliang Kingdom, whether it is a merchant attribute or not, or you think that Yueliang Kingdom is difficult to survive, the prince with royal blood, thinking about running away to Kosi Country all day long? Isn't that a joke? ”
Liang Gu looked at him, his face was slightly gray, his clothes were in tatters, he thought he was well disguised, but he didn't expect Liang Yi to see through him.
Liang Xiao looked at Liang Gu in surprise, he was not a businessman, so he couldn't understand Liang Gu's shocking thinking, after the failure of the struggle for power and being demoted to a commoner, Liang Gu actually wanted to flee to another country.
"Do your duty for your country and your family, although you have done many things in the past that make this palace feel very ridiculous, however, this palace still hopes that you can come back alive." Liang said.
Liang Xiao and Liang Gu were silent and did not say a word.
"Alright, all stand down and get ready."
Liang Xiao and Liang Gu silently retreated.
Liang Yi watched them off, and when he retracted his gaze, he saw Liang Ao looking at him, he smiled and said:
"What, think I'm too messy?"
"Brother Dare." Liang Ao narrowed his eyes and said.
"If I can really get military merit this time, I think it will be easy to pardon them. If they don't come back in the end, they will also die for the country. I don't want to be judged as a rebel and a thief in the mouths of future generations, which is my selfishness, and I want to give them a chance to make amends. Liang Yi said.
"Brother Prince, aren't you afraid of letting the tiger return to the mountain, the fifth and seventh are more familiar with Kosi than any of them." Liang Ao couldn't help but ask.
Liang Yi smiled faintly: "Since I can let them out, I am naturally not afraid." ”
Liang Ao looked at his indifferent and calm smile, Liang Ao felt like he had lost in his heart, he didn't want to admit this kind of failure, but even if he didn't want to admit it, the result did not change in the slightest.
He was a little unwilling, but he had to admire Liang Yi's courage and mind.
He pursed his lips.
……
In the context of Yue Liangguo's belly and back being embattled by enemies, Liang Shuo was extremely nourished, and he was enjoying his first vacation since he was born.
He slept very well, but Su Miao didn't sleep much in the palace, and she had to go to the imperial dining room to make breakfast for Liang Shuo with two big dark circles under her eyes in the morning, and her current life was miserable.
The imperial chef of the entire kitchen gave her a hand, Su Miao was pasting crispy meatloaf into the iron pot, and a person suddenly appeared beside her, and called her crisply in the imperial dining room where only the sound of oil smoke was heard:
"Sister of the Su family!"
Su Miao was startled, turned her head, and found that the person who called her was actually Liang Xi who was wearing a light blue palace dress.
"Why did the princess come to the imperial dining room?" Su Miao asked in surprise.
"Because Sister Su is only here, not elsewhere, I can't enter Wuji Palace." Liang Xi said, took her hand, and pulled her out of the imperial dining room.
Su Miao turned her head and instructed the imperial chefs a few words, and was pulled out of the door by Liang Xi and stood under a vermilion wall outside the courtyard of the imperial dining room.
"I don't see me every day when I go to Wuji Palace to ask for my father, the second brother and the crown prince haven't been to Wuji Palace for a long time, Sister Su, how is my father's health?" As soon as Liang Xi stopped, he asked without stopping.
Su Miao scratched her chin and replied to her carefully:
"The emperor is recuperating, there should be no big problem, but it is not appropriate to work and not be emotional, the princess does not need to worry too much."
Liang Xi stared at her for a long time, and seeing that she didn't mean to lie, he was slightly relieved, sighed, and said:
"I'm very worried about my father, and my father is angry with me."
Su Miao didn't know what to say, so she simply didn't speak.
Liang Xi was silent for a while and asked, "Sister Su, does my father know the news that the Kexi Kingdom has occupied Dingning Port?" ”
Su Miao was stunned, she didn't expect that Liang Xi, a little princess, would even know about this kind of thing.
This kind of thing is not easy for Su Miao to answer her.
"Princess, I just stayed in the palace to take care of the emperor's diet every day, I can't know about the military intelligence report, and the princess shouldn't talk about it to me like this, if it gets out, it's not good for the princess." Su Miao said softly.
Liang Xi smiled: "It's not wonderful, the coast of Liangdu is not far from Dingning Port, in fact, the capital should have been moved a long time ago, but unfortunately it has never been moved." This time it was a war of aggression, or it would not be long before the war reports would spread all over the streets, and in the past, because it was not a period of civil strife, it was still able to deal with the Corsi country, but this time it was more than lucky. ”
She spoke very calmly, as if she was telling a story, but Su Miao felt heavy and uneasy from her calm tone.
"The princess thinks that the Corsi Congress has come in?" She asked cautiously.
"Not necessarily. The Kosi Kingdom itself is vast, on a par with the Yueliang Kingdom, and there is no need to occupy territory across the sea, and what they want is probably the mines in the Yueliang Kingdom, the restoration of the annual tribute, and the continuation of unfair maritime trade. Liang Xi said lightly, glanced at Su Miao, and said with a smile, "Sister Su, what are you worried about, if Kexi really comes in, the ladies in our palace will kill themselves and martyr themselves, and you don't need to, you just run away with the palace maids and eunuchs and don't look back." If it is a peace negotiation with Kosi in the end, you don't have to worry, peace is a princess's business, and you are not a princess. ”
Su Miao's heart beat slightly, Su Miao is indeed not a princess, but Liang Xi is, Liang Xi is the only unmarried princess in Yue Liang Country now.
