Chapter 123: I Have a Wish That I Have Never Fulfilled
When Wang Xiao and Lin Ruhai came to the palace, the emperor was roaring to arrest the family members of Xiao Guan's guards.
For this kind of thing of taking the generals out of anger as soon as the battle is defeated, Wang Xiao is not eye-catching.
The emperor's tricks of power may be considered clever, but other aspects are much worse.
"Two Aiqing." The emperor's eyes were eager: "Those grassland captives have already passed the Xiao Pass and are on their way to Chang'an City." How this should be for the better! ”
The emperor is really a little anxious now.
If it was before Wang Ziteng led the troops to go on the expedition, there was no need to worry about anything. The 12th battalion of the Beijing camp has more than 100,000 elite soldiers. It's easy to deal with those captives.
But now, more than half of the elite of the Beijing camp has been lost, and the rest are also panicked and demoralized. At this time, being forced into the city, God knows if it will be broken and the country will be destroyed.
The king of Zhongshun on the side was unwilling to go forward and said: "Your Majesty can issue an edict to the king of Qin, calling on the soldiers and horses of the world to enter the king of Beijing." ”
Wang Xiao and Lin Ruhai scolded at the same time, "No! ”
"Your Majesty, the garrisons are far away, and they can't come at all in a hurry. Moreover, the border passes are not very peaceful, and once the troops are withdrawn, it will inevitably lead to instability in the four fields. ”
Lin Ruhai also explained, "Your Majesty, although the border army is numerous, its armament is lax, and the empty salary is serious. Even if it is recruited, it is of little use except for spending money on food and harassing the place. ”
The number of border troops in the Great Zhou Dynasty was quite large, but unfortunately the combat effectiveness was not very good.
In the early stage, they were suppressed by Wenchen and deducted their salaries. In the later period, he was suppressed by the emperor because he mostly supported the emperor. Because of the strategy of using weak branches and strong cadres, it has long lost the strength of the early days of the founding of the country.
Moreover, the thousand-year-old tradition of empty pay is extremely serious among the border troops. In some places, it has even reached more than half.
Although there are also in the Beijing camp, it is not so exaggerated.
In a word, the border army is useless.
At this moment, the emperor thought a lot.
He thought of the shame of Jingkang and the edict of King Qin of the former Ming Chongzhen Emperor. From the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to work under the king's edict.
The king of Zhongshun said compassionately, "If you don't let the border army come to help, how should you deal with the captives riding into the capital?" ”
Wang Xiao smiled freely: "The prince doesn't need to be so timid as a mouse. Although the Beijing camp suffered heavy losses, the remaining soldiers and horses were still enough to defeat them. ”
The emperor's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What is Aiqing's opinion?" ”
"Your Majesty offered a generous reward to encourage the morale of the army, indicating that this time it is to protect the homeland of Guanzhong, and the Beijing camp will definitely fight to the death. Our army is far stronger than those captives in every way, and this time it is a local battle. Mobilize all the troops and horses to attack, and you will surely win a great victory. ”
King Zhongshun once again sang the opposite: "Mobilize all the soldiers and horses? Before the soldiers and horses engaged the captive cavalry, the sky had already changed here! ”
The Emperor nodded slowly, and the words of the Loyal King were to the point.
His current situation can be described as internal and external troubles.
Outside, there are captives riding in, and inside there is a party of the emperor and the prince who are in turmoil. If all the remaining camps were to be sent out, the gang of rebels would definitely start a rebellion immediately.
"What's so hard about that?" Wang Xiao said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, please go to the Emperor Taishang to personally conquer!" ”
Driving the Expedition!
The emperor and the king of Zhongshun were stunned, no one thought that Wang Xiao would actually make such a suggestion.
"Bring the Emperor Taishang, the King of Longwu County, and their henchmen. If the Emperor goes out, the Imperial Forest Army will definitely follow. At that time, only the five cities will be left with the Terracotta Division, and they will not be able to make any waves. ”
"Your Majesty's personal expedition will inevitably be full of morale. It can also leave a heavy mark in the history books. ”
Wang Xiao's words made the emperor's heart pound.
I have to say that this is indeed a very good proposition. It can eliminate the threat of internal and external troubles at the same time.
It would be even better if there were any more accidents on the battlefield.
"It's easy to say." King Zhongshun continued to sing the opposite tune: "You said that the royal driving pro-conquest is the royal driving pro-conquest? Why did the Emperor agree? Also, what is your intention in putting Your Majesty in danger? ”
Wang Xiao waved his hand and said, "This is a national war." How can the Emperor not set an example for the people? If you don't want to, then simply pull Jingying to Longshouyuan first and completely solve the internal worries. ”
Lin Ruhai nodded slowly, turned to look at the emperor, "Your Majesty, when you are decided, you will continue to suffer from it." Please also ask Your Majesty to make up your mind as soon as possible. ”
The emperor cherishes feathers and attaches great importance to reputation, and is unwilling to do such a thing as coercing the emperor.
But now that the external pressure is here, he doesn't have many options.
"You go back first, and let me think about it."
King Zhongshun took two steps forward and opened his mouth to say something, but was directly waved back by the emperor, "You go back too." ”
Wang Xiao left the palace and did not return to Ningguo's Mansion, but followed Lin Ruhai to Lin's Mansion.
I haven't seen Sister Lin for a while, and I miss it very much.
came to the Lin Mansion and entered the study, and without a few words, Lin Daiyu's crisp voice came from outside.
"Daddy, my daughter cooked lotus seed soup and brought it to you."
Lin Ruhai laughed, "Are you really here to give me lotus seed soup, or are you here to see whom?" ”
The door was pushed open, and Lin Daiyu, who was holding a tray, stood at the door and looked at Wang Xiao.
looked at each other, although they didn't speak, they seemed to be able to write a thick romance.
Lin Ruhai stroked his beard with relief and laughed, "Okay, put down the lotus seed soup, you two can play." ”
Lin Daiyu, who was ridiculed, blushed, stomped her little feet unobtrusively, put the lotus seed soup on Lin Ruhai's desk, took Wang Xiao's hand and ran out.
In her life, there has been a fundamental transformation.
Lin Ruhai gave her fatherly love, gave her confidence, and gave her the life she wanted.
Compared to the original book, I can't eat and sleep. Staying up day and night until dawn, Lin Daiyu completely has a new life.
Now Sister Lin eats and sleeps well, and baby fat is also on her originally thin cheeks.
The spirit of the whole person is completely different from when Yangzhou first met.
"Second brother, have you ever thought about me after being away from Duzhong for so long?"
The two walked hand in hand in the Lin family's garden, and in the face of Lin Daiyu's inquiry, Wang Xiao responded without hesitation, "I think about it every day." ”
It is written in the scumbag handbook when a woman asks if you miss her. Sure, yes, yes
Don't ask anything, just say it.
Lin Daiyu smiled sweetly, "Second brother, Zijuan said that I have become fat recently." ”
Wang Xiao immediately lied, "She has a problem with her eyes, and the girl has always been so weak." ”
Probably except for Datang, women in any era are thin for beauty.
Zijuan, who was walking behind, rolled her eyes, this second master's ability to coax girls is definitely the first class in the world.
Lin Daiyu smiled even more, "Second brother, can you paint me another picture?" ”
"No problem." Wang Xiao is very confident in his painting skills.
"I'm going to write another poem. It's like Qingwen. ”
At the beginning, Wang Xiao painted Qingwen and wrote a song of lovesickness. Although Lin Daiyu has never said anything, she has kept it in her heart. She's cautious.
Wang Xiao didn't have a poem on her painting!
"Okay." Wang Xiao still responded without changing his face.
Lin Daiyu's face was slightly red, and she slowly approached Wang Xiao's arms.
You see, it's not that difficult to make girls happy.
In Lin Daiyu's boudoir, Wang Xiao, who finished painting, wrote a Linjiang immortal poem on the side. After the dream, the building is locked.
There is no way, most of the beautiful poems of this era have been published for many years. Among the poems that have not yet come out, he remembers that life is only as it was when he first saw it.
That Nalan word is naturally not suitable for use now, and there is no chance to be a copyist. I had to use the good works of my predecessors.
'After the dream, the stairs are locked, and the curtain hangs low when you wake up. Last year, when the spring hatred came. The falling flowers are independent, and the micro swifts are flying. ’
'I remember the first time I saw Feng'er, and the two hearts were Luo Yi. The lutea strings say acacia. At that time, the bright moon was there, and it was back from the clouds. ’
"Huh?" Zijuan, who was watching next to him, curiously pointed to the sentence that remembered Feng'er's first meeting, "Shouldn't it be remembered that Xiao'er first saw him?" Second master, is this a mistake? ”
Hearing no response, Zijuan looked over in confusion. But I saw Lin Daiyu and Wang Xiao holding their hands and looking at each other with affection.
It suddenly dawned on me that I was a fool.
When Wang Xiao returned to Ning Guofu, he found that no one had come to greet him.
Pulled a little maid to inquire and learned that Wang Xifeng and the others had gone to You's yard.
When I entered the house, I saw Wang Xifeng, Ping'er, Qingwen and Third Sister You playing horses. You Shi and Second Sister You watched the battle from the sidelines.
The women in the back house of Jiafu don't have to worry about their livelihoods, and they have nothing to do all day long. Playing with horses and hanging to kill time has become their favorite.
Wang Xifeng and Ping'er are both veterans who have been playing cards with Jia's mother for a long time, and Qingwen is a senior lover of playing cards.
What surprised Wang Xiao the most was that Third Sister You actually played very well. Because she has the most silver taels in front of her.
Wang Xiao looked at Wang Xifeng suspiciously, "Why do you have the leisure to play cards today?" Don't go to manage the affairs of the house? ”
Wang Xifeng glanced at him coquettishly, "What kind of identity am I, wearing a guilty body." I'm not qualified to take care of things, and your new lady will come in and kick me out. ”
Although the emperor exempted Wang Xifeng from the crime of Zhulian and did not need to be assigned to the teaching department, her identity was completely stripped to the end.
The entire Wang family has become sinners, and she is not qualified to continue to be the mistress of Rongguo Mansion no matter what.
Now Wang Xifeng's identity is very strange.
said that it was Mrs., and her identity had been canceled. He is said to be a sinner, but all treatment is still the same. People don't know what to call it.
Wang Xiao touched his nose and smiled, "You think too much, this place will always be your home." ”
Wang Xifeng snorted lightly and ignored it, and shot to feed the cards to Third Sister You.
The huge change in identity stimulated Wang Xifeng, but it made her and the straightforward Third Sister You gradually become intimate.
In Wang Xifeng's opinion, if something so big happened to the Wang family, it would be impossible for her to recover her identity.
In the future, Wang Xiao will inevitably marry a new lady, maybe it will be the eldest lady of the Lin family.
She is now taking the initiative to reconcile with the You family sisters, which is to win over helpers.
In Wang Xifeng's eyes, Wang Xiao, who is a womanizer, will never let go of the You family sisters.
Wang Xiao looked at You Shi, "What is she stimulated?" ”
You Shi sighed: "Today, Mrs. Wang and Master Zheng have reconciled." ”
said that it was a divorce, but in fact, it was a divorce.
After Hugh finished writing, Mrs. Wang was directly taken away by the disciplining grandmother and sent to the women's prison.
Her next fate was either to go to the execution ground with the men of the Wang family, or to be sent to the Jiaofang Division for sale.
This incident stimulated Wang Xifeng a lot.
Wang Xiao nodded, now he understands.
"I'm going to go on the expedition in a few days, and this time it's very risky, and I don't know if I'll be able to come back."
Wang Xiao sat aside and began to show his acting skills.
Wang Xifeng and the others stopped and looked at him suspiciously, "Didn't you just come back?" What's going on? ”
Wang Xiao said that the captives on the grassland had broken through Xiao Pass and were marching towards Chang'an City in a big way, and the women were anxious.
"That's good."
"Alas~~~" Wang Xiao sighed, his expression was lonely, "I have a wish that has never been fulfilled." It would be a pity if he died on the battlefield this time. ”
Wang Xifeng said eagerly, "What wish? As long as we can do it, we will do it. ”
Wang Xiao raised his head and looked at her with a very sincere expression, "I want you to accompany me tonight, okay?" ”
