"Ah......h

"Ah......h

In the quiet and cool Xian'an Palace, bursts of baby cries suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked sideways and saw Ye Qing and Daiyu, one holding a swaddling baby in their arms, coming in under the escort of a group of Zhaorong and Cai concubines.

Although it was not very compliant, both Gu Feng and Yin Jun were very relieved.

With the hearts of the two of them, they both felt out of breath at this moment.

Although Jia Cong didn't cry or speak, the breath of grief on his body almost made people desperate and frightened as time spread.

They didn't dare to come forward to persuade them, and they knew that it was in vain.

I racked my brains and couldn't think of a way to solve the current difficulty, but I didn't expect Ye Qing and Daiyu to be smart.

Although it was not Jia Cong's favorite little princess who was brought in, the tiger head and tiger brain born by these two little princes were the most loved by King Wu.

I want to solve the current situation.

Sure enough, Jia Cong, who had not reacted, finally moved slightly after hearing this cry.

Then he turned his face to look at the visitor.

Ye Qing opened his mouth, thought about it, and let Daiyu speak first.

She knows in her heart that in Jia Cong's heart, Daiyu's status is unmatched......

Daiyu is indeed lovely, she stepped forward with Dabao in her arms, walked to the side of the dragon couch, and whispered to Jia Cong: "Father and Emperor Yuan love Dabao and Xiaobao the most, let's take them to see the emperor's grandfather." ”

Looking at his big treasure with big eyes that were still flashing with tears in his swaddling clothes, the gloom between Jia Cong's eyebrows finally dissipated, and then looked at the little treasure that Ye Qing was holding in his arms, and nodded slowly.

At this time, Wang Chun finally dared to step forward, and bowed down to persuade: "Master, it's late at night, and there is no earth dragon in the palace yet, isn't it ......?"

Gu Feng also said in an urn voice: "Your Highness, the minister is going to send the emperor to the warm pavilion to rest." ”

Jia Cong was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at King Wu, and said softly: "Father, you should rest first, the son has retired, and he will come again tomorrow to ask for peace." ”

After saying that, after sitting for a while, Fang took the big treasure from Daiyu's hand, bowed slightly with Gu Feng and Yinjun, and left Xian'an Palace.

……

After the tenth month.

This world never stops because of a shortage.

Even, the vast majority of the people in Shenjing City didn't know what happened that night, and they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the day.

Even if I heard about the two princes afterwards, few people cared.

In the past two or three years, the emperor has died in a row, and the prince and the prince have died in a pile, as long as it does not harm the people, how many people care?

It's better to distract them from the rise in vegetable prices after the winter......

In addition to the people not caring, there is also a group of people who are not only not sad, but very secretly happy.

That's the civil service.

Because as long as the Martial King is in one day, the threat of being pressed on the head of the vulgar warrior will always hang over their heads like a sharp sword.

King Wu is indeed a god of war, but when it comes to the level of governance, it is a mess......

If it weren't for the prince, who was carefully taught by Mr. Mu Min and Song Chan Gong, the two great Confucian masters of the world, to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors in time, then at this time, the whole court would be full of martial artists.

As long as King Wu is in one day, this situation is likely to happen again.

Now that King Wu is unconscious, it is not a bad thing.

And even Jia Cong gradually regained his calm.

At least on the surface, except for being more calm, it's no different from before.

Daming Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

In the Xinuan Pavilion, the ministers of the cabinet and the secretary of the military department, Ye Chu, were all there.

Jia Cong, who looked indifferent, sat on the royal chair, and there was one in the hall, and the prince and prince Zhao Qingshan sat alone.

Ye Chu, the secretary of the military department, read the official document in his hand and bowed down.

Jia Cong bowed slightly, and said lightly: "Liu Yaolun is on the merit fold, I heard that some people are not satisfied, and feel that he wants too much, and the number of military merit requests is too much, and he also said that the imperial court does not have so much silver, so let's discuss it today...... Ye Bingbu just read it over, but he didn't hear any problems, if any of you have an opinion, stand up and say. ”

Dong Xin, who was in charge of the household department with the cabinet members, was a hard bone when he was an official in the household department, and how many people hit nails on him.

Although he is extremely in awe and loyal to Jia Cong, he still chooses to stick to his position at this moment, and he is the one who disagrees with Liu Yaolun's request.

Dong Xin stepped out of the ranks, bowed down and said: "Your Highness, the minister has no intention of denying the military merits of the general of the town army. The minister also heard that His Royal Highness wanted to give it to the British public. It's just that the minister thinks that the key to this battle lies in the firearms that His Highness has been planning for several years. It is with the benefit of firearms that the northern Xinjiang capital protects Fujian, and its merits are really His Royal Highness. Of course, the minister is not a minister, and he knows that His Royal Highness has no intention of taking credit. It's just that if the general of the town army only asks for a generous burial of the 13,862 soldiers who died in battle, the minister has nothing to say, especially the 10,000 vanguard army, and it doesn't hurt to increase the pension. But even the remaining 60,000 or nearly 70,000 troops are paid three times the military salary, isn't it too much? This is not counting the rewards for those officers who are generals, garrisons, guerrillas, etc. Combined, it's quite a lot. ”

After that, Dong Xin looked at Zhao Qingshan.

He discussed this matter with Zhao Qingshan.

Zhao Qingshan glanced at Dong Xin, and when he saw Jia Cong's face was faintly gloomy, he coughed dryly and said, "Your Highness, a person who has made great achievements, deserves a heavy reward." It's just that if you ask for a reward like Liu Yaolun, how should the imperial court reward after the southern expedition? The 80,000 people in northern Xinjiang should be compensated, and the imperial court could barely do it. But after the southern expedition of 300,000 troops, after the war to destroy the country, if they all take this as an example, then the court will not be able to reward even if it smashes the pot and sells iron. ”

When Jia Cong heard this, his face softened, and he said: "That's right, it's just that most of the soldiers of the Nine Sides are over thirty years old, but most of them haven't married yet. Over the years, it was the imperial court that couldn't stand them. The general of the town army gave Gu a secret fold, hoping that after this battle, he would relieve the 30,000-year-old soldier who was over 35 years old from the army, send him back to his hometown, and settle down to marry.

I sent Kuaima to tell the general of the town army that these soldiers, who had been soldiers for more than ten years, would find it difficult to live an ordinary life anymore after they were dismissed from the army. Therefore, it is better to leave them on the nine sides, and in the name of the garrison, often go to the grassland to sweep the horse thieves and stabilize the border city. You can also take their family members away, and even find some women for them to be their mothers-in-law. In the past six months, the imperial court has destroyed many rebellious families, and many of them are women and children. It's a pity that they were killed together, and they were all sent to the weaving factory for the time being.

The fields that were occupied by the border troops before the nine sides were all taken back this time and distributed to the people. In the first war in northern Xinjiang, millions of cattle, sheep and horses were collected, and the horses were kept for war, and the cattle were sold or leased to the people, and the sheep were divided into a part and sold to the people cheaply.

From today onwards, the nine sides can go to the grasslands for grazing.

Within three years, the border gates will inevitably prosper.

Therefore, if you take a long-term view, you must also be rewarded! ”

When Zhao Qingshan and the other ministers heard this, they pondered for a while and looked at each other.

Although they didn't say anything, they both understood the deep meaning in each other's eyes......

Liu Yaolun was promoted to the title of British Duke, with 60,000 soldiers in the world, and once he returned to Beijing, he immediately became one of the top giants in the army.

Even the cabinet has little control over it.

If you can relieve its 30,000 military power, it is not a good thing to cut half of its strength at once.

They didn't want to destroy the Great Wall, but from their eyes, it was almost time for the swords to enter Kuma and release Nanshan.

These generals in the army during the Wuwang period were even on the verge of entering the court, and the martial arts interfered in politics, so they should really retire.

They would rather vigorously support the new army trained by Duguyi and others for the prince, thinking that it is more reliable.

Thinking of this, Dong Xin and the others nodded one after another.

Zhao Qingshan said to Jia Cong: "If this is the case, it is okay to reward some generously." However, can it be replaced by a physical one? For example, the houses on the nine sides, the fields, the ploughing cattle, ......"

Jia Cong smiled lightly when he heard this, and said, "This, just wait for the British Duke to return to Beijing, and the Taifu will fight with him again." ”

……

Cining Palace, Shouxuan Palace.

At two o'clock, Jia Cong and the cabinet finished handling political affairs and returned here.

Although he is still not in power, most of the government affairs are approved by the cabinet with a blue pen.

However, news came from the south that a countess named Rosa Capet of the Hercynian Portuguese Kingdom had brought a whole thirteen boatmen to the shore.

In addition to the accompanying servants, guards, and sailors, there were a large number of craftsmen, veteran non-commissioned officers, seamen, scholars, missionaries, craftsmen, mercenaries, and so on.

After the countess went ashore, she asked to see Jia Cong by name, and when she learned that he had become the crown prince of the Great Qianguo, she immediately sent a request to see him.

Jia Cong attaches great importance to this matter, and it is also a reason why he has greatly relieved his mood recently.

Therefore, Jia Cong and the cabinet talked for a long time about the role of these people.

In fact, the importance does not have to be wasted too much, and the battle in the north showed the power of firearms.

At this time, no one in the cabinet would think that firearms were a strange skill, but a real militaristic weapon.

With this consensus, many things can be discussed openly......

As long as the foundation of Confucianism is not shaken, the cabinet will not exclude it, and select some people to learn from the Xiyi set of learning.

Of course, even the ancestors cannot be worshipped, and Western cults with divine power higher than the monarch's power are absolutely not allowed to spread in Daqian......

After discussing from morning to night, and after setting a general framework, Jia Cong came to Shouxuan Hall to say good night to the Queen Mother.

Morning and dusk are indispensable.

After King Wu fell asleep, the Queen Mother fell ill slightly, but she recovered quickly.

Perhaps in her opinion, King Wu has not really left after all, and there is no telling when a miracle will appear.

So the mood quickly adjusted, and he talked and laughed with Ye Qing and Daiyu all day long, and the phoenix body recovered well.

Jia Cong entered the hall to salute and say goodbye, and before he knelt down, he was called up by the Queen Mother, beckoned him to sit down on the edge of the phoenix couch, and said with a smile: "Yuanshou has gone down to court, but are you tired?" ”

Glancing at Ye Qing, who was teasing him with Daiyu below, Jia Cong replied with a smile: "I'm not tired, most of the government affairs are handled by the cabinet masters." ”

The Queen Mother was obviously very happy and said, "This is good, this is good." Your father was worried before, you would be fooled by the officials of the previous dynasty if you gave up power like this, and if the power of the heavenly family fell next to it, it would be a great thing. But Xiao Jiu'er said that the prince is the smartest person in the world, and he will never do stupid things. Your father watched for a while, and then he was relieved. is stronger than your imperial uncle, so you should let your courtiers contribute more! ”

Ye Qing and Daiyu were eating and laughing below, Jia Cong also smiled, and then heard the Queen Mother smile again: "Yuanshou, before your father went to bed, he specially instructed the mourning family not to forget to give you a draft." In the past few days, the mourning family, Xiao Jiu and Yu'er Niang'er have helped you meet many people. But we think it's useless no matter how good it is, in the end, the prince himself likes it! When will Yuanshou take a look together? ”

Hearing this, Jia Cong twitched the corners of his mouth, and suddenly pointed to the imperial court outside the palace, and said, "Hey, it's snowing!" ”

Everyone's attention was attracted by his "fuss", and they looked out at the imperial court through the glass palace window.

I saw that under the illumination of a series of glass palace lamps outside the hall, endless fine snowflakes fell like catkins......

It's winter.
