Chapter 8 The Upper Dynasty

"Your Majesty!"

"In Yundu, no one is allowed to fight privately and disturb the order! Chin this! ”

A young eunuch who was not tall and not very old shouted at a sharp voice.

"Han Hou, Jinghai Hou, you are all the marquis of Dayun, please set an example for the people." The little eunuch looked at Liu Li and the others with a smile.

As the saying goes, if you don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, Liu Li naturally smiled in return, it was definitely not Liu Li who was cowardly, and he didn't dare to harden these fifty people!

"Father-in-law, don't worry, Gu's father often said that if you want to be kind to others, Lone will not mess around, but this Jinghai Hou, Lone is not clear."

After Liu Li finished speaking, he looked at Jinghaihou with a smile, the meaning is very simple, but it wasn't me who was looking for trouble first, it was you, Jinghaihou!

When Jinghaihou heard this, he hurriedly bowed slightly to the little eunuch, "Father-in-law, don't listen to this person's nonsense!" Obviously, that guy beat my son unconscious first! ”

After speaking, he symbolically squeezed out a few tears, as if he was surrounded by soldiers, and he was wronged.

Liu Li secretly called out to the old fox, "Father-in-law, don't get me wrong, it was his son who caused trouble first, the so-called son doesn't teach, the father's fault!" ”

"You!" Jing Haihou stretched out his finger and pointed at Liu Li, and said angrily, "Hmph! Lone tells you, it's not over! ”

After saying that, he didn't look back and left with the group of soldiers, but Xia Hu looked back at Xiahoudun, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he left.

Seeing that the Marquis of Jinghai was gone, the little eunuch said softly to Liu Li, "Master Hou, Your Majesty hopes that when you go to court tomorrow, you can speak." ”

Liu Li didn't understand at first, so he responded with a smile, "Don't worry, father-in-law, whatever Your Majesty says, you will do whatever you want!" ”

The little eunuch nodded with satisfaction and left with a smile.

After he left, Liu Li suddenly felt relaxed, oh mom, scared me to death, this father-in-law is still very good at talking, and this emperor is also very good.

Feng Ji on the side looked at Liu Li and responded, he was very anxious, and when the little eunuch left, he immediately said: "Lord! You're confused! ”

Liu Li is a fan when he hears this? What's wrong with me? What didn't I do?

"Yuan Tu, why is Lone confused?"

"My lord, Your Majesty wants you to block the knife for him! I want to use this to weaken the strength of the princes, and there is no representative, so it just so happens that you bumped into it head-on! ”

When Liu Li heard this, he reacted, damn, this is to kill me!

"How's that good?" Liu Li looked at Feng Ji anxiously.

Feng Ji stroked his beard, and after thinking for a while, "My lord, for today's plan, I can only stand on His Majesty's path, after all, His Majesty is the most powerful." ”

"What does Yuan Tu mean, let Gu Li support His Majesty?"

"Of course, although it will offend many people, it will also have many benefits, at least Your Majesty's trust will be there."

Liu Li looked at Guan Jing with expectant eyes, hoping that he could have a ghost idea, but Guan Jing also shook his head with a wry smile.

"Okay, for the time being, the pros outweigh the cons." Liu Li had no choice but to sigh.

"Forgive your subordinates for being stupid, and you can't worry about the Lord!" Feng Ji and Guan Jing bowed their heads embarrassedly, because they really didn't have a good way.

After all, it is more cost-effective to offend other people than to offend His Majesty, at least His Majesty is alive, and they dare not do anything to Liu Li openly.

"It's okay, it's too young to be alone, and you're not guilty." Liu Li stretched out his hand to help them up.

Following.

Imperial Palace, Xuanzheng Palace.

Li Wen sat high on the dragon chair, and his gaze swept majestically over the ministers who were bowing their waists, "Everyone! ”

After all the ministers got up, the eunuch beside Li Wen shouted in his voice: "There is a book to play in the morning, and there is no book to retreat!" ”

Yuan Hong, the secretary of the military department, took a step forward.

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, 10,000 southern barbarians invaded my Dayunning County!"

"Fortunately, Li Yu, the guard general of Ning County, led 3,000 soldiers and horses, guarded to the death, fought a bloody battle, 1,500 soldiers died, and 3,000 enemies were annihilated before the southern barbarians were repulsed!"

"Your Majesty, the front line is in an emergency!"

As we all know, the Nanban has always been a hidden danger since the founding of the Yun Kingdom, with a population of 500,000 and 200,000 warriors!

Nanban is settled in the mountains of Nanning in the south of Yunguo, and does not obey the religion, because it is in the mountains of Nanning

Every autumn and winter, when they are communicating, they send troops to raid the southern border of Yunguo, never go deep, run away after plundering, and escape into the mountains, and the army of Yunguo has no way but to defend passively.

When Li Wen heard this, he looked at the ministers lightly, "Everyone, how can you Aiqing do anything about this?" After speaking, he glanced at his father-in-law, General Zhao Wuxing.

After Zhao Wuxing understood, he stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan."

"Aiqing, please speak."

"Dispatch 200,000 soldiers! Go to Ning County, this time we took the initiative! Close to the mountains of Nanning! ”

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and everyone present was stunned!

Two hundred thousand? Close to the mountains of Nanning? The first 200,000 troops are okay, the central government can send 100,000, and the princes from all over the country can send 100,000.

But this is quite close to Nanning, it is unbelievable, the founding of the People's Republic of China has never been such a move in the past two hundred years! Besides, if you go deep into it, you don't know the terrain, and you don't know where the Nanban is, so you can't help the mountains of Nanning are too big, and they are worth half of the territory of Yunguo!

Before Li Wen could speak, Jinghaihou ran out in a hurry, "The general is surprised by this, my Dayun army is only 150,000, right?" Where did the 200,000 come from? ”

"And going deep into the mountains of Nanning, Lone has never heard of it!"

Zhao Wuxing looked at Marquis Jinghai with a smile, "Marquis Jinghai, this general will ask you, how many soldiers and horses do you have in your fiefdom?" ”

Jing Haihou didn't think about it, so he said directly, "It's only five thousand!" ”

Zhao Wuxing smiled when he heard this, "Since the Marquis of Jinghai has five thousand soldiers and horses, the rest of the people are not necessarily less than you, right?" ”

Zhao Wuxing's words are not bad, not to mention that there are more than fifty of them for a marquis as big as Jinghai Hou, but there are always more than twenty, and some of them have more soldiers and horses than Jinghai Hou.

One person out of 5,000, all of them have 100,000, it is conceivable that the combined strength of the princes of the Yun Kingdom is enough to threaten the central government.

When Jinghaihou heard this, he secretly screamed that it was not good, he was tricked, damn it!

However, he reacted quickly, "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to dispatch 200,000 troops, but what is the salary of this grain and grass?" ”

After Li Wen heard this, his brows furrowed, these princes really didn't want to contribute, why did they raise so many soldiers and horses? If you want to rebel, you can't?!

However, Li Wen naturally didn't show it, but said lightly, "Grain and grass are provided by me, and as for military salaries, the treasury is not full, so let's do it, I will pay 200,000 taels from the inner government!" The treasury is out of 300,000 taels! ”

When Jinghaihou heard this, he was a little stunned, this emperor is intent on fighting, and he also intends to take this opportunity to weaken us!

Before Jinghaihou could speak, Liu Lizhan said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to give 50,000 taels of silver free of charge to fund the barbarism!" ”

When Li Wen heard this, his eyes lit up, this Liu Li is a good courtier, and he has lived up to my kindness in helping him yesterday.

"Liu Aiqing, I am very relieved." Li Wen laughed for the first time.

"For Your Majesty, for me Dayun! Go to the soup and go to the fire, don't give up! In fact, Liu Li felt sorry for the 50,000 taels of silver in his heart, but Liu Li still looked selfless on the surface.

Subsequently, Zhao Wuxing also said, "The minister is also willing to donate 50,000 taels!" ”

Later, officials of all sizes have expressed their positions, and even the emperor's father-in-law has expressed their positions, do you still want to donate?

"I'm willing to donate 30,000!"

"I'm willing to donate 10,000!"

"I'm willing to donate three thousand!"

Officials have expressed their positions, but there are no more than 50,000, and the least is 1,000 taels.

However, the princes all noticed Liu Li, and they all resented him for starting this head, so that they had to, otherwise what would the upper and lower parts of the Yun Kingdom think of them?

If you don't send troops to fight the Southern Barbarians, do you still want to rebel?

However, Li Wen still exchanged courtesies and gave Liu Li an official in front of the ministers and princes.

"I heard that Liu Li, the Marquis of Han, has been smart since he was a child, has few great ambitions, and today he selflessly donated military salaries, and I am very relieved, and I am hereby named the barbarian general!"
