"There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.

The centipede has a hundred legs, and it is not as good as the snake.

The civet chicken has wings, and it is not as good as a crow.

Horses have a journey of thousands of miles, and no one can go by themselves.

People have the ambition of Lingyun, and they can't reach it without luck.

The article is world-famous, Confucius is still trapped in Chen Cai; Wu Luo is outstanding, and Taigong is fishing in Weishui.

The thief is older, not a good person; Yan Hui's life is short, and he is really not a vicious person.

Yao and Shun are the most holy, but they give birth to unworthy sons; is stubborn, and the son of the great sage is born.

……

When the sky is not shining, the sun and the moon have no light. When the ground is not available, the grass and trees do not grow.

When the water is not, the wind and waves are uneven. When people can't, good luck can't work.

Why?

Time, fate, and luck! ”

On the Hanyuan Hall of Daming Palace, Jia Cong was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair behind the imperial case, and reciting the "Cold Kiln Fu" he wrote to Guozijian in a clear voice.

"This is true of one person, and so is it with one country."

"The fate of the individual, of course, depends on the struggle of the individual, but it must also take into account the course of history. How could he have thought that he would become the prince of the country? ”

"The fate of the individual is the same, and so is the fate of the nation and the nation."

"Since the war in the north, the government and the opposition have been worried. The people are panicked, and the officials have no intention of working, as if they have reached the end of the world. ”

"There are also many people who harbor evil intentions and wantonly insult and slander the policies of the imperial court."

"That's it, why don't you even have confidence?"

"Many people outside say that now the faint king and the ridiculous prince are above, and the traitorous ministers are in charge. I know all day long that I have copied the house, and I have never heard of the prince who copied the house and the prime minister who seized the official position. said that the miasma in the court was a sign of the death of the country. ”

"Is that really the case?"

Without waiting for Zhao Qingshan and the others to come out to argue, Jia Cong smiled and said, "I think it's the opposite." With the courage and determination of the imperial court to open a knife on itself and remove the carrion with a ruthless hand, the prosperity of the great dry can be expected! Zhuqing are all old people who seek the country, you can tell yourself, our monarchs and ministers are single-minded, after scraping the bones and healing the wounds, has the luck of the court changed for the better or for the worse? As for the Khalkha Mongolian tripartite ......"

The corners of Jia Cong's mouth curled up with a touch of extremely disdainful ridicule, and said: "A group of rabble who were forced by natural disasters to panic like lost dogs, working thousands of miles on an expedition, even bluffed the people of the government and the wilderness? ”

Yang Tingzhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said slowly: "Your Highness, the soldiers are dangerous. Since ancient times, the grasslands have been a major problem for the Central Plains Dynasty and cannot be ignored. ”

Jia Cong said: "Lone understands, and he has never neglected it. Strategically it can be flouted, but tactically it is never dared to be careless. The military report submitted by the Northern Xinjiang Protectorate was originally only available to the military aircraft, but it was still read by the officials of the imperial court above the third grade. How to fight, the general of the town army has said very clearly. Of course, the princes may not know about the war.

But the father and the founding prince and the prince of Song Guo, their war-torn art of war, all praise the good soldiers used by Liu Yaolun, the general of the town army!

It can be seen that purely from a military point of view, there is no problem.

So, what is it that people in the court have been panicking for the past half a month, and everything has slowed down?

Lone didn't want to say it, but you all looked at Taifu, his eyes were red and swollen, his mouth was blistered, and his hair was white.

So don't blame Taifu for being angry and scolding people these days......

Zhuqing, do things well.

The destiny of heaven is in my court, and it will be fine.

The war has already started in the northern Xinjiang, and there may already be a result at this time, so why should you bother yourself?

Could it be that my great national fortunes are really coming to an end? ”

As the war in Northern Xinjiang continues to approach, the pressure on the courtiers is simply increasing day by day!

As soon as the Nine Sides were abolished, 200,000 iron horsemen went south, bringing them not only pressure, but also fear.

They are all people who have read history books, who dares to forget the dangers brought by the grassland for thousands of years?

Most of them are not involved in military affairs, and even if they know something, they do not know how beneficial firearms can be.

In their minds, firearms are not immortal artifacts, no matter how powerful they are, how powerful can they be, so that 80,000 soldiers can resist 200,000 people controlling the strings to the south?

Restless, naturally have no intention of working, and worry about the country and the people one by one.

However, how many major events are there in the country, where is there time to delay, which makes Zhao Qingshan, who is anxious, furious.

But no matter how angry he is, no matter how much he scolds, and even degrades officials and takes off his hat, he still can't stop the fear of the steppe wolf among the officials.

This is the reason why Jia Cong personally came forward to appease today......

He couldn't tell a group of officials with a purely classical background how beneficial firearms were.

Therefore, it is directly explained by the doctrine of the mandate of heaven.

Not to mention, although it is not possible to convince all of them, there are many officials who think so.

"Throughout the ages, there has never been a gentleman who is virtuous and the country is broken!"

"Now the Holy Son of Heaven and the Virtuous Prince are ruling in a bow, the court is full of people, there is no party fighting for the country, and the ministers are working together, such a grand occasion can only be found in the Dynasty of the Great Sage. Just a hairy tartar who drinks blood, how can it spoil my luck? ”

"The emperor, the founding prince and others are all in charge of the army, since they think it's okay, it's okay to think about it."

"Your Royal Highness once had such iron-clad words as 'the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies', the Heavenly Family is supreme and noble, and there is no fear of the enemy, so why should we be worried, as if the day is precarious?"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the court hall was gradually reversed, Zhao Qingshanhai breathed a sigh of relief.

For a moment, he began to reflect on himself, whether he was really a little too tough.

The truth of combining rigidity and softness is known to everyone who has read the book.

But in practice, this degree is not easy to control.

Everyone thinks that they have always been combining rigidity and softness, and so does Zhao Qingshan.

It's just that at present, it seems that he, Yuanfu, is far inferior to Ning Zechen......

In the past, Zhao Qingshan was actually a little dissatisfied with Ning Zechen, thinking that he was always with mud sometimes.

Right is right, wrong is wrong, black and white should be clear.

Ke Ning Zechen will turn a blind eye to many things, originally Zhao Qingshan categorically thought it was wrong, but now he looks back and looks at it......

Or is Motosuke smart......

Zhao Qingshan gradually understood a truth: right and wrong, black and white, sometimes are not so important. As long as the set goals can be achieved, then how the process will proceed is not fixed.

In later generations, there was a great man who put forward the theory that "no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can catch a mouse, it is a good cat".

In fact, it is similar to this.

It's just that Zhao Qingshan thought to himself, even if he understood this truth, he still couldn't do it.

Because to do this, you need a very broad mind, great courage, and even more great wisdom.

And he is obviously not so high......

Thinking of Ning Zechen, Zhao Qingshan suddenly remembered the young lady of the Ning family again.

It was sent to the palace a few days ago, and now she is a female historian in the East Palace.

Due to their different backgrounds, they did not live in Chuxiu Palace with the show girls sent to the palace from other provinces and learned the rules of the palace.

The palace draft is not just based on the color, you can be selected if the color is good.

Rather, it has to go through a series of investigations, tests and studies.

It depends on whether the age is compliant, whether the body is sick, whether there is a past medical history, whether there is breath, body odor, etc.

After entering the palace, you must first learn the rules and etiquette of the palace with your mother, learn how to serve people, learn to be popular and memorize the "Female Commandment", etc.

After many exams, the excellent ones stand out.

And the mediocre will become ordinary palace people, and they will even be returned.

In this world where women's names are above all else, being returned by a man, even if the man is a heavenly family, is still an extremely heavy blow.

The daughters of famous eunuchs of various ethnic groups, who is not arrogant, who is willing to live under others, and who is willing to be returned in disgrace?

As a result, the competition is fierce and even brutal.

Yuanfu's beloved daughter was able to skip this hurdle and directly become the female history of the East Palace, which was probably the happiest thing Zhao Qingshan knew in recent days.

Thinking of this, his iron-blue face became more and more relaxed.

Jia Cong on the dragon chair saw this scene, and his heart gradually calmed down.

Now that the state affairs are becoming more and more burdensome, if he, the minister who carries the humerus, is tired and angry to death, then he will cry and faint.

Now he really has no one to replace this cabinet minister who can dominate the overall situation by means of prestige.

Just as Jia Cong was about to say some words of comfort to Zhao Qingshan, his face suddenly changed, and he heard a burst of shouts from outside the hall.

This is a nine-fold deep palace, far away from the outside of the palace.

But this kind of voice from afar is clearly coming from outside the palace.

Before the monarchs and ministers in the Hanyuan Hall could react, the shouts quickly changed from far to near, from noisy to uniform:

"Big win! Victory! ”

"Northern Xinjiang Victory!!"

"Northern Xinjiang Victory!!"

Only then did Jia Cong and the hundred officials realize what had happened, and Jia Cong got up and hurriedly walked forward a few steps.

The last war report from the north was only eight days.

Eight days ago, the war had not yet broken out.

As the entire imperial city began to boil, Zhao Qingshan's old face trembled, and he said with a trembling mouth: "Your Highness, Your Highness...... The old minister is old, deaf and dazzled, outside, what are you shouting outside? ”

Without Jia Cong answering, Lin Qinghe beside him said loudly: "Yuanfu, big victory, big victory, big victory in Northern Xinjiang!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a red feather messenger holding a royal gold medal being brought into the Hanyuan Hall by the Imperial Forest Army.

The Hongling messenger who is 800 miles urgent can directly enter the palace for an audience without Tongbing.

I saw a young soldier who was not more than a year old, and after seeing Jia Cong, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe above His Majesty, he immediately bowed down and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiqi, the general of the army of Hufu Town in Northern Xinjiang presents: On the first day of October in the fourteenth year of Chongkang, the Yulin Military Town fought a decisive battle in the Khalkha Mongolian three divisions at Wangyuepo fifty miles away, fought for a day and night, and finally defeated the enemy, beheaded 100,000, captured nothing, and millions of cattle and sheep materials!" The general bowed to the south and kowtowed, and ordered the last general to play the son of heaven and His Royal Highness: Liu Yaolun, live up to the emperor's grace! Long live my emperor and a thousand years old Your Highness! ”

Wang Chun couldn't suppress his joy, so he took the 800-mile urgent letter and handed it to Jia Cong.

After Jia Cong took it, he opened it in the eyes of the hundred officials, and after a quick look, a very bright smile suddenly bloomed on his handsome and delicate face, and he raised his head and said aloud to the hundred officials who were waiting for him with strong pressure and excitement:

"Zhuqing, the 200,000 enemies of the Khalkha southern invaders have first broken 30,000 vanguards, and then 100,000 have been beheaded, and the rest of the troops have also been defeated. What's even better is that Liu Yaolun anticipated the enemy first, laid down his back hand in advance, went around the back of the enemy, and captured countless cattle and sheep of all the enemy troops. It's already snowing on the grassland, and the scattered enemy can't go back! ”

"Taifu, summon the world: from today onwards, the grasslands of Northern Xinjiang will no longer be troubled in the Central Plains!"

"I am a great worker, and the fortune of the country will be forever !!"

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"
