Chapter 140: The Five Nations (3)
When I returned to Xingzai, I saw that Concubine Xian had woken up and washed, obviously in good health, different from other women, but Rao was like this, and the movements were very unnatural.
Seeing Lu Ning sipping tea, while looking at his slightly staggering legs when he got up, his face flushed immediately, and he didn't dare to look at this guy when he turned his head, and the situation of being bullied by this guy yesterday gradually emerged, really, ashamed to death, this guy is simply a cow, but he said a lot of words begging for mercy.
Coughing, Lu Ning said: "Ai Fei, do you have private money, do you have some gold?" ”
Zhe Saihua was stunned and said, "No, what's wrong?" One question and one answer, the previous embarrassment was gone.
Lu Ning sighed, "I originally wanted to go to the field to see if there was anything fun, and buy it to make you happy, but as a result, I met a barbarian from the northern country, and I bet on who has more gold, and I made an appointment, and I will bet on the gold in the field ten days later." ”
The flower was a little helpless immediately, the lord used to be addicted to gambling, and now, it has not changed, but it is a hundred gambles and wins, and he has never suffered a loss.
However, now it is natural to help the lord win this gamble first, frowning slightly, and folding the race flower said: "Ten days, too tight, to transfer gold from the nearest Tongzhou, so that all the subjects of Tongzhou first sacrifice the gold ornaments and gold products at home, it will also take time, and then come and go, ten days is not enough." Not to mention the post road from Dunhua to the channel, just began to open the road, the previous road, it is very difficult to walk, although the lord can use the magic power of the gods to come and go in person, but in Tongzhou honorarium, I am afraid that ten days will not be enough. ”
Lu Ning had thought about this a long time ago, but when he heard Zhe Saihua say that he had the magic power of "divine travel", he couldn't help but be embarrassed.
After thinking about it, he said, "It's nothing, I'll find a way." "It's a big deal, I cut off three small pieces of gold halfway.
looked at Zhe Saihua and said, "After you rest for a few days, don't go to the northwest, go back to Beijing to help Yongning, she has a good body, and she hasn't been doing well recently." ”
Before coming to Liaobei this time, I felt that Yongning had been in a very happy mood since he had the burden of supervising the country, and he had found some motivation, but his body was a little poor, and not long ago, there was a secret report that the queen had fainted.
A huge country, but it is a kind of game mentality, everything loves to shirk out, just care about the overall situation, others seem incredible, but I feel that being reborn by lightning is the last loss, and I will not lose in this life.
Of course, it is also because I have seen the changes of various dynasties and systems, look at affairs, and grasp contradictions, which are completely different from these ancients, and I have some bottom in my heart.
However, many state affairs are completely different for Yongning, even if the cabinet system has greatly reduced its workload.
But she trusted her so much that she was "imprisoned in the country", she was grateful, but she also put a lot of pressure on herself for no reason, even any trivial matter, and she was worried that it was not so perfect.
For some completely different systems in various places, such as the Central Plains Daozhou government system, the Saiwai Huangzhuang system, etc., these problems are dazzling to ordinary people, and Yongning must follow his own ideas to understand why these systems are, and how to make the land of these different systems seamlessly connected and make the huge empire run seamlessly.
is so tired, but it is not a good thing, and it also goes against her original intention of appointing her to supervise the country.
And if you want to share her pressure, Concubine Guifei and Concubine De can't count on it, without this talent, and the personality is not suitable, Gui'er and Wuniang, it's okay to manage the internal government, and the national government is barely embarrassing.
It's Concubine Xian, who has been running around for the past seven or eight years, has a wide range of knowledge, knows herself somewhat, and helps Yongning share, so she is the most suitable candidate.
In this way, it is also avoided that Concubine Xian is tired of running around outside, not to mention, many things are difficult to say, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, in case Concubine Xian has a mistake and falls into the hands of a foreign race, then it is useless to regret her death.
It's chilling to think about a queen in history who commanded the army, and after being captured by the enemy and making her surrender to the harem, she was naked and beheaded to humiliate her.
"If you feel bored then, you can walk around and have a look, and don't go." Lu Ning gently shook the hand of the folding race.
Fold Saihua lightly bowed her head, "Okay." ”
After a matter on his mind, Lu Ning picked up the teacup and drank tea, and pondered about the gambling money, and he didn't bother to use his brain again for such a trivial matter, so he simply robbed the three small pieces of gold, but how to make this matter an opportunity to force the five countries to submit to it, but to think about it.
"The matter of gold, the lord doesn't have to worry, the concubine can help you find a way." Zhesaihua obviously knew what Lu Ning was pondering.
Lu Ning smiled and nodded.
"Holy Monarch, Niangniang, when it comes to gambling, the cheap slave has a word." Kim, who was holding a tea tray next to him, suddenly said cautiously.
Lu Ning looked at her and said with a smile: "Zhen Ji has private money?" ”
Jin said with a smile: "I can't talk about private money, it's just in case of emergency, all owned by the nobles are naturally all the saint's, with a total of thirty ingots, each ingot is five taels." ”
Lu Ning sighed in his heart, he brought a lot of private money, naturally he was going to use it to buy female officials in the palace and even make friends with powerful ministers, one hundred and fifty taels of gold, nearly ten catties, and the official value, one or two gold is one hundred thousand yuan, that is, ten yuan, one hundred and fifty taels of gold, which is one thousand and five hundred yuan.
"Okay, that's enough." pondering, the north is barbaric, and there is not much gold.
Glancing at the Jin family, Lu Ning smiled and said: "I will use ten times the banknotes in return, and when I get to the capital, the banknotes are much more convenient than gold and copper." ”
Jin was startled and hurriedly knelt down, "Holy Monarch, noble people naturally don't dare to accept it, for Holy Monarch, noble people can dedicate their hearts and livers to Holy Monarch, not to mention this pickled thing?" ”
Looking at this lady's charming but tasteful beauty in a maid's dress, Lu Ning smiled slightly, "In this way, I will accept Zhenji's heart." ”
I know that since I want to give away my private money, this Jin family must have it all, otherwise, it will be self-defeating if it is found to have gold ingots in the future.
The Jin family was overjoyed and bowed lightly, "Thank you Shengjun!" ”
……
Originally, Lu Ning hoped that Concubine Xian would return to Bianjing after reading the gambling money, but three days later, Zhi Saihua felt that her actions were okay, so she set off.
Lu Ning was a little helpless, maybe it was more or less related to the fact that he was resting every night, sharing a bed with her, talking about love, sometimes being affectionate, hugging her gently and kissing her, but he couldn't really be affectionate, a little embarrassed to share the bed, and he was in a hurry to leave.
Farewell to Concubine Xian, returned to Xingzai, sipping tea beside the stone table and stone bench under the shade of the willows in the courtyard, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Of the five ministries, the easternmost is Yueriji, and then to the west, along both sides of the Songhua River, the rest of the ministries in turn.
The Songhua River and the Heilongjiang River converge into the Ussuri River, and the westernmost section of the Five Kingdoms is on the banks of the Ussuri River.
Nowadays, the Songhua River and the Ussuri River are all called the mixed river, and the Mudanjiang River, which flows through the Dunhua Yanchang, has been named by itself, and the Mudanjiang River is a tributary of the Songhua River.
In fact, if there is a naval army, if you go downstream, you can directly attack the hinterland of the Five Kingdoms.
However, in the vicinity of the field, although there was a dock and craftsmen came one after another, they were only making small boats and fishing boats, and it was impossible for a large fleet to carry soldiers in a short period of time.
When Lu Ning was pondering, he saw that in the second room of the West Wing, there was a beautiful shadow walking to the curtain, and when he saw himself sitting in the courtyard, he retreated again.
"Come, talk to me." Lu Ning called.
After a while, the curtain was lifted, and Yi Lazy walked out.
The appearance of the three sisters of the Xiao family should not be stunning, at least the eldest sister Yi Lazy, and the younger sister Xiao Yanyan are not great beauties, and the second sister Hu Ran disappeared in the chaos, and now I don't know where it is, but I haven't seen it.
However, Yi lazy wears the regular clothes of the queen of Liao, with a red robe, a hanging jade pendant and a pair of concentric handkerchiefs, and red brute boots, which is indeed graceful and luxurious, and the queen of the northern kingdom has a unique style.
Yi is lazy and unruly, Lu Ning doesn't care, but he was secretly reported to Yongning by the female official, and Queen Xiao is different, since Yi Lazy was registered as Baolin, the lowest concubine, so unruly, Yongning was furious, and specially sent a female official to pass the order, so that Yi Lazy wore the clothes of the queen of the old country, otherwise, she was brought back to the inner palace of Bianjing to be stripped naked and executed.
Yongning is the queen, ruling the inner palace, and it is also her power to dispose of low-level concubines, and Lu Ning is not easy to interfere.
This laziness doesn't suffer the immediate loss, and she really wears the former Khitan queen costume, but she seems to have figured it out, and she doesn't think it's an insult to her.
However, Lu Ning felt that what Khitan queen costume to wear to deal with laziness would most likely be made by the guy Wu Niang, who had the most bad taste.
At this time, Yi lazy walked silently, Wan Fu saluted, and looked at Lu Ning's gestures, so he sat down lightly on the stone bench.
"You have seen the situation of the five ministries, as well as the general map, you say, if you want to recruit these five ministries, what is the way to get twice the result with half the effort?"
A few days ago, Lu Ning ordered the relevant materials to be sent to the lazy room.
"Great Khan, concubines have no good plan." Yi lazy face is expressionless.
Lu Ning frowned and looked at her, "From tomorrow onwards, you will be like the Jin family and Shanhua, wearing an inner dress." "It's a maid's outfit.
"Yes, concubine decree." It's lazy or it doesn't matter.
Lu Ning could feel that she was pampering herself, and she would definitely not resist, she would really be bitten by a dog.
But she will also try her best to live, so she is unwilling to disobey Yongning and be sent back to Beijing to be punished with a cane.
She should hope that she will live to see her failure.
These three sisters are very talented, and in history, the second sister Hu Yin and the third sister Xiao Yanyan have proved themselves.
One led the army to the west to conquer the south and north of the desert, expanding thousands of miles for the Khitan, and the other handled the military and politics as the queen and the queen mother, making the Khitan extremely prosperous.
Only this eldest sister is lazy, because she has not been very good at marrying, and there are no legendary stories left.
But in this life, Yi lazy became the Khitan queen and defended the battle in Youzhou, showing extraordinary command talent.
However, obviously, Yi lazy made up his mind and would not give himself a plan.
Looking at her cold face and walking corpse-like behavior, Lu Ning waved his hand helplessly: "Go, go, go." Suddenly, he said: "There is one thing, your third sister Xiao Yanyan has been found and sent to Zhaoyuan." ”
Originally, I didn't want her to know that the Khitan family was indifferent, and the three Xiao sisters were not people who missed family affection.
In the first year before Xiao Yanyan's death, she poisoned her two sisters at the same time to prevent future troubles.
That is after the three of them have grasped the authority, and the emotions of the three of them are definitely different from those after their respective experiences, but relying on family affection to impress this lazy, or threatening her with Xiao Yanyan, is also a fool's dream.
Sure enough, Yi Lazy's expression did not fluctuate at all, and he did not stop his footsteps, and went straight into the room.
Looking at her back, Lu Ning gritted her teeth, the more this is the case, the more one day you have to give in yourself.
