Chapter 739: Mistakes
"Prince, there's some chaos in the north."
On the way to send King Wu back to Xian'an Palace, the father and son walked slowly, King Wu frowned slightly, and said with concern in his eyes.
When Jia Cong heard this, he was silent for a while, and said: "Erchen knows that hundreds of thousands of troops are crossing the border, and there are constantly people who are left behind. The soldiers who have fallen behind will inevitably despair and then take risks. In the northern provinces, there were rebels, robbing, killing, and insulting women...... Although the cabinet informed the prefectures and prefectures in advance and prepared in advance, the execution was still insufficient. There was even a county government that was broken by rebellious soldiers, and the wife and daughter of the county magistrate were humiliated......
Father, emperor, and sons know that these things are embarrassing and sinful. It was obviously a problem of the imperial court, but it caused innocent people to suffer.
However, if we do not use this method to purge the nine-sided army, it will become a big trouble sooner or later.
The military department counted 860,000 troops on nine sides, and the actual amount was only more than 500,000. Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, and those who have degenerated into generals, private tenants, and servants, there are less than 300,000 soldiers who can really fight.
But these people eat most of the treasury every year.
If it is not resolved, it will be a matter of time before it drags down the imperial court!
They are all the old subordinates of their father, and they are loyal, and their sons can't bear to kill them......"
Loyalty is not linked to drinking the blood of soldiers.
It sounds ironic, but it's true......
King Wu walked very slowly, but his pace was very steady, he glanced at Jia Cong, and suddenly smiled: "You never thought that the tens of millions of taels of silver in Neiku would be reissued, right?" ”
Jia Cong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then explained: "Father, if those soldiers are real soldiers, the sons will not be stingy, and the sons are not greedy for money and silver. However, the situation in the nine sides, after being deliberately suppressed and weakened by the imperial court for more than ten years, is really scattered and unified. Father, just one Annam, ten years ago, did you need the nine-sided army to move together? Any strong army in any town can sweep through the past. Those nine-sided generals actually knew the thoughts of their sons, and they themselves wanted to smooth out this mess.
If the Heavenly Family is turbulent and there is no one, then they are naturally not afraid, they support their own troops, and they are united in the same spirit, no matter what the central court is, they will protect themselves without worry. But after his father ascended the throne, his sons and daughters were not mediocre, and it would be strange for them to see that they did not seek a way back.
That's why they pulled out all the troops under their command, and even deliberately scattered them, leaving only the elite.
After this experience, the evidence of their guilt of drinking the blood of soldiers has completely disappeared.
The imperial court does not want to have more twists and turns, especially the military disaster, and they do not want the dog to jump off the wall in a hurry, so it can be regarded as the beauty of the two sides.
The only one who owes is the people of the northern provinces.
However, Erchen has asked Shen Lang to take most of the brocade guards to the north, and punish the rebels who are treacherous and evil along the way.
Kill what deserves to be killed, exile deserve to be exiled. ”
King Wu smiled: "It's not just Jinyiwei, right? ”
Jia Cong laughed dryly and said: "Liu Yaolun of Datong Town is an iron-faced and selfless person, and his sons thought that he could be a military discipline officer, so they let the Datong army go out of the town, and detained the rebels along the way, and sent them all to the grassland. The grassland should build a city, although the herdsmen can be requisitioned from the grassland to work, but it is also a good thing to have more Han'er. ”
King Wu sighed lightly and said, "The prince's plan is one after another, and he has exhausted the people of the world. It's a good thing that the talent is so self-conscious, but don't waste too much effort and hurt the fundamentals carefully. Wisdom will hurt, not to say stubborn, your mother was extremely smart back then......"
Jia Cong was a little embarrassed, because in his chessboard, King Wu was also on it......
King Wu didn't see any annoyance, patted his arm, and said with a smile: "It's better than letting your father exhaust his mind and maintain your position, you can do this, I can only be happy in my heart!" It's just that, don't be too anxious, don't be too anxious, I won't be able to die for a while, I can always hold you up a little longer. You don't want to be too ruthless against Zhao Qingshan and them, hehehe......"
In the end, King Wu couldn't help but laugh.
Jia Cong scratched his head and laughed dryly.
Seeing this, Gu Feng smacked his mouth and shook his head.
Jia Cong caught a glimpse and said strangely: "Uncle Gu, what do you mean by this?" ”
Gu Feng and King Wu have an extraordinary relationship, Jia Cong called him with his uncle, and he did not refuse.
With only one hand left, he scratched his head fiercely, shook his head and said, "Although the prince is unparalleled in calculation, he is not as good as the prince...... Emperor. The emperor didn't have to calculate who was at all back then, and there was no one who was unwilling to die for the prince. Without this, the prince would not be able to lead a mere 100,000 soldiers and horses, and be invincible across the grassland. Later, even the Mongolian princes knelt down and admitted defeat and bowed to the prince's tent. The prince is still far away, still far behind......"
Jia Cong laughed angrily: "In the history of thousands of years, how many geniuses like my father and emperor are there? Even the father of a disgusting person like Uncle Gu can stay by his side, which shows that his father's heart and spirit are not comparable to ordinary people. ”
Gu Feng snorted, not only was he not annoyed, but he also shook his head triumphantly, he really hated it.
King Wu laughed and said to Jia Cong: "It's different, the years are different, and the world is different." In fact, I may not be as good as the crown prince...... Okay, let's not talk about that. In all dynasties, there were often taboos between emperors and princes, but our father and son don't need it. Prince, don't be impatient, don't be too urgent, do things slowly, and give birth to a few more royal grandchildren. ”
Laughing all the way, after arriving at Xian'an Palace, watching King Wu rest, Jia Congfang said goodbye and left.
On the way back to the East Palace, Jia Cong still did not take the palace chariot, but walked for a walk.
Take the Yuehua Gate from the Longzong Gate, and then go through the Zunyi Gate to the East Palace.
Along the way, Jia Cong introspected himself and felt that his mentality was a little anxious.
He's not very busy himself, but he's almost maxed out his manpower.
Shandong sent Chai Liang to a huge disaster area, although Chai Liang can be amazing, but one person can carry millions of victims, you can imagine how difficult it is.
Duguyi and others are still recruiting troops in Qilu......
There were floods in the two provinces of Hubei and Anhui, and Wu Qichuan was ordered to go forward, hoping to make meritorious service for his crimes.
The south is laying out the battle of Annam, and countless grains, grasses and material resources are converging towards Yongcheng.
Not to mention the North......
In short, the entire empire is in chaos, and the cabinet, as the head of the cabinet, really can't even sleep, and can't turn one day into three days.
The strings are too tight to be tossed anymore......
Jia Cong was thinking about it, and suddenly heard Wang Chun next to him whisper: "Master, what does the emperor mean when he said that father and son are jealous......
When Jia Cong heard this, he frowned and glanced at him, his eyes glazed.
Wang Chun was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly said: "The master thinks a lot, the slave maid has a pig's head, and he doesn't dare to have a crooked heart." I'm just worried, isn't there something wrong with it......"
Jia Cong sighed in his heart, he asked Zhan Peng to lead the East Palace guards, let Guo Yun be the head of the East Palace, and politely rejected the generals that King Wu chose for him, perhaps this matter made King Wu feel a little disappointed.
However, he did not accept the strong troops of the nine-sided warriors, but asked Duguyi, Wang Cheng, Sun Chao, and Zhao Zhen to go to the land of Qilu to select innocent children from good families to train the new army, not to prevent any of them, or to trust which ones.
I just don't want to use veterans who are too "old" to handle firearms.
He had already told King Wu about this......
Perhaps, it was because he purged the army of the Nine Sides......
Touching the bridge of his nose, Jia Cong smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly.
If he had explained this matter to King Wu at the beginning, King Wu would probably not agree.
He was a good father, a good husband, and a good commander, but the more this happened, the less he would agree.
That's it, the matter has come to this point, and King Wu doesn't blame him, and this kind of thing won't happen in the future.
Looking at the stars shining in the sky, it was getting late, and most of the palace people had fallen asleep.
Jia Cong said: "Go to Yiqiu Palace." ”
……
Although it was decided that Ping'er would stay in the side hall of Mingde Palace, before Daiyu moved in, it was impossible for Ping'er to go there.
Baochai moved out of Yichun Palace today and lived with Tanchun to the Eight Phoenix Palace.
Ping'er and Qingwen, Xiangling and others still live in Yiqiu Palace.
When it was over, Jia Cong didn't go to the side.
Stopping the greetings of the people on duty in the night palace, Jia Cong entered by himself, but he didn't see the expression of Zhaorong at the door.
The red candles in the inner palace are shrouded in thick veils, and the lights are dim.
Bing Jian exuded an icy aura, and it was cool.
The Rui Beast incense burner spit out a stream of sweet fragrance, and on the table in the middle, there were many documents and volumes, adding the fragrance of pen and ink.
On the treasure bed of Huanghuali Shuangyue Cave, in a sapine gauze tent with an apricot red and gold heart, there is a soft beauty lying quietly.
It was late at night, Jia Cong took off his coat, lifted the gauze tent, and went to bed......
……
"Woo ......"
A suppressed but joyful whimper, accompanied by the gentle shaking of the gauze tent, a slender and white arm exposed the tent, but suddenly tightly grasped the apricot red gold heart satin gauze tent hanging on the treasure bed, and three words came out:
"Uncle......"
Everything was silent, like the night sky outside the hall where the stars had not yet appeared.
After a long while, Jiao took a breather, and a puzzled voice sounded in the tent: "Keqing, why are you here?" ”
“……”
The woman quietly covered her face in the brocade quilt, and said in a soft voice: "I...... I helped Miss Ping'er sort out the documents of the Shanggong Bureau, and it was too late, so I ...... I'm just sleeping here......"
Jia Congqi said: "What about Ping'er? ”
Qin Keqing said lightly: "She went to the Eight Phoenix Palace to discuss palace affairs with Aunt Bao and Third Aunt. ”
Aunt Bao, the third aunt......
Qin Keqing relied on Jia Rong, and really wanted to call Baochai and Tanchun as aunts.
It's just that......
Jia Cong pinched his eyebrows, and he had a headache.
At first, he didn't notice anything abnormal, but when he was able to enter the alley, he noticed that something was wrong.
Ping'er has been with him for a long time, and she is often affectionate, so she is gentle and soft.
But this one is very tight......
Coupled with the difference in body size and body fragrance, Jia Cong, who was half asleep and half awake, woke up.
It's just that when I find out who is under me, I want to quit......
After all, he couldn't overcome his instincts......
Listening to the soft sobbing sound beside her, Jia Cong turned her face sideways, reached out to pinch her chin, lifted it up, and looked at the timid eyes on this peerless face with beautiful pear blossoms and rain, I really felt pity.
"Don't cry, since you've come to this point, I'll give you a place in the future. When I asked you and your sister-in-law if you wanted to leave the house, they didn't want to go out. I don't have any heirs, and I have repented of it all my life. Well, it's good now, it's in my hands. You regret it, and you have no place to regret it......"
Jia Cong caressed Qin Keqing's delicate body and said with a chuckle.
Qin Keqing's face was like a sunset, his face was full of shame, he looked at Jia Cong with a pair of faint and affectionate eyes, lightly opened his lips, and every word seemed to come from the depths ......of his heart and murmured: "Third uncle, don't you regret it?"
When Jia Cong heard this, the sage's time disappeared in an instant, and after taking a deep breath, he leaned over and bullied him.
"Boom......"
"Good uncle, what about ......"
……
PS: There are still a few pits, which are about to end, in the name of Keqing, begging for votes.
