Chapter 166: A Contradiction That Comes to Place
The area around Peacock Ridge is deep and rugged, infested with jungle beasts, and surrounded by mountains, dangerous and steep. As a border between the two countries, it is a battleground for soldiers.
As early as in the former Qi period, it was ceded by the ruler of the Tuoba clan.
After the change of dynasties in the Southern Dynasties, although he made friends with the Northern Wei Dynasty many times, he never had the intention of returning.
When Yu Wenxin was alive, he had the intention to regain the lost ground, but the regime was unstable and he had internal and external troubles.
The king is so preoccupied with his mother that he can take care of this.
Therefore, it is often mentioned in front of Yuwendi, talking about Peacock Ridge is full of treasures, there are thousands of years of Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, as well as many rare and rare medicinal materials, such as rhodiola and cordyceps, etc., and there are countless birds and beasts, it is a rare treasure land.
The Peacock Ridge is close to Taishan, so it is also somewhat involved with the Khitan, the Khitan people often graze and cultivate in this area, picking rare and exotic fruits, so if they want to recover the Peacock Ridge, the Khitan will inevitably intervene and make trouble in secret.
Yuwendi thought about it and urgently asked for a perfect solution.
King Heqing was also very worried that this matter would anger the two countries, and it would be difficult to stop it at that time, and if the war was resumed because of this matter, it would be more than worth the loss.
Yu Wendi also understood King Heqing's worries, but he was bound to win Peacock Ridge, and he must be divided into the map of Wei.
In this way, my father and the first emperor were also able to look down on them under the Nine Springs, and the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty would also admire them.
What's more, the relationship between himself and Chen Xian's rival is now in power between the two countries, and they will inevitably compete with each other.
Because even if you don't take the initiative, the other party will come first.
Rather than wait and see, Yuwendi prefers to strike first.
And Yu Wendi and Chen Xian deserve to like the same person, and even their ideas coincide.
Originally, Chen Xian also planned to start first, but since Yuwendi started, he was naturally willing to accompany him to the end!
In order to refuse to return to the palace, Xiao Mingyue deduced that his father was not in good health and could not withstand the fatigue of the journey, so only the second brother Xiao Nanchuan and the third brother Xiao Beize returned to Beijing instead of their father to receive the reward, Xiao Mingyue gave the second brother a letter and forwarded it to Chen Xian, in which he wrote that he did not want to return to Jiankang in the near future, and if he really needed himself in the palace in the future, he would go back.
So the Shaw brothers took tribute and dozens of sergeants on the road.
"Second brother, this time the emperor obviously intended to let his sister return to Beijing, but now it has become the two of us to go together instead of my father, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?!" Xiao Beize said.
Xiao Beize is different from the burly and sturdy bodies of the eldest brother Xiao Yunjiang and the second brother Xiao Nanchuan, compared with the two elder brothers, he looks weaker, and he has no interest in dancing guns and sticks since he was a child, but he is slightly proficient in some swordsmanship for self-defense, and he is more concerned about studying and gaining fame.
In the Xiao Mansion, in terms of talent and learning, only Xiao Mingyue can suppress this brother.
Both brothers and sisters can read poems and songs, and Xiao Mingyue is even smarter than this brother, which often makes Xiao Beize sigh to himself.
Therefore, when they were at home, the brother and sister often recited poems against each other, comparing who was slightly better than each other.
Xiao Nanchuan said with a smile: "Don't worry! Even if Your Majesty is really dissatisfied, our sister still left me a letter to ensure that we both come back safe and sound!"
"Mingyue really has a way, then you can keep it well, otherwise, put it here with me! You're being careless!" Xiao Beize said.
"The third brother is prejudiced when he says this, although the second brother is a rough person, but for the things that my sister handed over to me, I will still be careful to do it. But then again, third brother, you are careful, but last month, I heard that you forgot your younger sibling's birthday, and your younger brother and sister were so angry that you were not allowed to go back to the house for half a month! I've lived in Taishou Mansion for half a month?!" Xiao Nanchuan teased.
"It's just a rumor! I am too dignified to teach the mountain chief (mountain chief: ancient meaning teacher), how can I be afraid of insiders, pure nonsense!" Xiao Beize retorted.
"Really? The third brother swears so much, but if it weren't for my brother, I would have seen it with my own eyes, and I would have believed it!" After Xiao Nanchuan finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing.
"Second brother! Now that you've seen it, you're still teasing me here, "Hey, it's okay, if it weren't for my father and mother who wanted me to marry that Zhong Wenying, it was okay when I first got married, and I was respectful all day long, but as the days went by, she changed, and she managed my head and feet, if it didn't suit her wishes, I would play a little bit of a small character, and I wouldn't have a good life every time I didn't coax for most of the day!" Why don't you marry a tigress and come back! When I quarrel, I have a good fight, but it's also happy, now it's okay, I'm not the only one who suffers! When I left, I also sent two servants to follow me, saying that I was afraid that I would go to Jiankang and get involved in flowers and grass! If I don't agree, it will seem that I am not bright enough!" Xiao Beize complained in a row.
"Don't be cheap, sell well! At the beginning, you fell in love with the girl of the Zhong family, and almost cried and shouted for your father and mother to ask you to kiss!" Xiao Nanchuan said.
"Obviously, the girl from the Yuan family I liked first! It's my father and sister who say that the girl of the Zhong family is more gentle and virtuous!"
"Yes! The same is true for my younger siblings! It's just that you are lazy and hesitant, you should also find someone who understands to take care of it, your father and sister are right!"
"Second brother, why don't you look at me!"
"I'm looking forward to you, but I believe in the vision of my father and Mingyue more!"
"
Okay, okay, I don't believe that if you don't wash your feet for a day, my sister-in-law will let you go to bed? It's not like it's going to kick you off!"
"We're all right! Don't say that if you don't wash your feet for a day, you won't take a bath for a month, and she won't be able to control me!" With that, he raised his whip and rode his horse forward as he sped away.
Xiao Beize looked at his second brother Xiao Nanchuan, who deliberately distanced himself from him, and sneered: "I think the second brother's status at home is not as good as mine!"
…………
"Miss, the slave maid heard from Xiaohong, this Yuwen Gongzi has now become Yuwen Taishi, and the new official has taken office with three fires! This first one is to start a war with Chen Guo, in order to fight for a piece of land!" Amber said to Xiao Mingyue, who was developing a scar removal cream.
"It's not that you haven't fought yet, what are you panicking about!" Xiao Mingyue held the jade box and said while sniffing.
"Miss, if they really fight, it will be terrible, which side will Miss stand on then? Who are you willing to help? Amber said curiously.
"I don't stand next to anyone."
Then he put down the jade box and said, "I only stand on the side of the people of the world!"
"Stand in the ...... of the people of the world Miss is amazing! actually thinks about the people first, but it's true, if there is a war, I don't know how many good men will die on the battlefield! I don't know how many happy people are going to be torn apart!" Amber said with a sigh.
"That's it! Those innocent soldiers and civilians are the most innocent!" Xiao Mingyue said.
"But if Your Majesty and Yuwen Gongzi really do this, it should be for the sake of Miss You, right?!" Amber asked.
"For me? Even if they think so in their hearts, but men have always liked to use women as excuses to do things, and I don't want to be Daji, Sister Xi, and the like!" Xiao Mingyue said.
"That's not for Miss, what else can it be for?!" Amber asked curiously.
"For their ambition to be a man and an emperor and general!" Xiao Mingyue said lightly.
It will anger the two countries, and it will be difficult to stop it when the time comes, and if the war resumes because of this matter, it will be more than worth the loss.
Yu Wendi also understood King Heqing's worries, but he was bound to win Peacock Ridge, and he must be divided into the map of Wei.
