Chapter 577: Who Should Be the Prince
Shan Binbin came back from his brother's house as a guest, and when he saw Zheng Guanyin, he immediately came to Luo Cheng like a cat whose tail had been trampled.
"I just accepted a Guanyin maid, it's only been a few days, why is there another Zheng Guanyin?"
Shan Binbin was not angry with her husband for taking a concubine, but angry at her husband and didn't discuss this matter with her. After all, taking a concubine is a matter for the eldest woman, and it is up to her to take care of it.
"Zheng Guanyin is not a concubine." Luo Cheng said with a smile.
"Not a concubine? Do you want her to be a wife, what about me? Shan Binbin was even angrier.
Luo Cheng comforted his wife, "Where do you want to go, this Zheng Guanyin not only insulted me before, but also insulted Aya and his mother, how could I possibly let her be his wife?" In fact, this matter is not so simple, the Zheng family wants to mess with me, so they sent this woman, of course I will not give up, so they accepted it, but they will not give her any name. ”
A simple explanation.
Shan Binbin immediately said to her husband, "Husband, I blame you wrongly. ”
"It's okay, I should have discussed it with you first, but you're not at home."
When Shan Binbin heard that the Zheng family was so bad, he couldn't help but be annoyed, "These damn guys, the Zheng family wanted to force me to marry a fool from their family back then, and now they still want to harm their husband, see how I clean up this Zheng girl." ”
Luo Cheng said with a smile, "You can clean up as you like, it's no problem to be a slave and a maid, just remember to feed and drink for her, dress her warmly, don't starve to death, exhaust and get lost." ”
"Don't worry, there's a way to clean her up, damn slut!" Shan Binbin ran angrily to find Zheng Guanyin for trouble.
Put down the pen, put away the unfinished map of the mountains and rivers of Liaodong, Luo Cheng changed his clothes, and took the Yi'er to Beiyuan.
Recently, the emperor summoned Luo Cheng to Beiyuan to ride horses and shoot arrows almost every day, and sometimes asked him to accompany him to play polo or hunt, and often asked him to help train the Xiaoguo army.
It's hard work, but there's no way around it.
Although the New Year is over, the envoys from all over the country still have to line up to resign from Beijing.
And as outsiders at the first level of the Dao, they are even more at the end.
The scale of this official adjustment was too large, not only was the addition of the provincial level, but the emperor also made a major adjustment to such important officials as the taishou, the governor, and the county cheng of the 217 counties under heaven.
Hundreds of counties are involved, hundreds of chief officials have been transferred, and the officials are now busy.
At the same time, the Wujiedu Region and the Badu Governor's Region also have to readjust their troops, and they must send additional troops and horses to these border regions, and unlike in the past, this time the troops will be stationed in the border areas in the future, which is equivalent to adding military offices in these 13 border military regions.
There are more than 100,000 soldiers in the five Jiedu military regions, plus the eight metropolitan districts, and in the calculation, the 13 border military regions will have to set up 40 or 50 military offices, and no less than 300,000 border troops will be stationed, and their families will also be relocated, and they will also be given land and land to be allocated, and military cantonments will be set up at the same time.
For this reason, the imperial court also had to send an additional tuntian envoy to the thirteen frontier military regions to be responsible for tuntian affairs.
Correspondingly, it is necessary to select and send officers to these no less than 300,000 border troops.
In the past, the government soldiers were stationed in the Central Plains, and in non-war situations, middle and senior officers were all in the Twelve Guards Mansion in Beijing, not in the army.
Now that the frontier has to form a standing army to guard the border, it is natural to maintain a permanent group of officers above the military government to lead and command.
Originally, the emperor's plan was to go to Guanzhong Daxing after the year, stay in Xijing until early summer, and then go to Linfen Palace in Hedong to escape the summer, and then go to the Mobei grassland to meet the Turkic Khan after autumn.
But now, the plans are all disrupted.
The emperor held the moon scepter, rushed over, bowed sideways, and hit the small polo with a stick, and the polo crossed a beautiful arc, passing through several intercepted opposing players, and happened to fall in front of Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng rushed forward and struck hard, and the polo went into the hole.
On the side of the court, on the yellow side of the emperor and Luo Cheng, the drums suddenly sounded like thunder, the horns sounded in unison, the colorful flags flew over, and countless soldiers of the forbidden army shouted in unison.
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
The emperor excitedly rode his horse towards Luo Cheng with a moon scepter, "This ball was scored just now!" ”
Luo Cheng said with a smile, "It's Your Majesty's good pass, the broken ball just now is really ruthless, and that pass is even more wonderful!" ”
The game is over.
Naturally, the emperor and Luo Cheng's team won and won the game by three goals.
"I heard that His Majesty plans to patrol the north outside the autumn queen?"
In the warm soup bath, Luo Cheng and the emperor were both naked and soaked in the warm pool water.
The emperor's figure is good, very strong, after a fierce polo game, after a while, his kung fu has recovered as before, he has no excess fat on his body, and even has a lot of muscles, which is very surprising to Luo Cheng.
I thought that being the emperor was the most difficult to control, after all, no one could control the emperor, his power was too great, and there were naturally many temptations.
But who would have thought that the emperor could be so self-controlled, and he could control his figure so well, I heard that there were not many concubines in Yang Guang's harem before, and he didn't believe it very much, but now it seems that it is indeed true.
I think Yang Jian only had five sons and five daughters with Queen Dugu in his life, and Yang Guang has only four sons and two daughters so far, of which the eldest son has died of illness, and the youngest son has also died, leaving only two sons.
And Yang Guang is almost fifty years old, and he has only given birth to four sons and two daughters in total, and his cousin Li Yuan, who is about the same age as him, has already given birth to five sons and six daughters.
As an emperor, there are only a few children in total, which can also show that the emperor really doesn't like women too much. Therefore, in the romance of later generations, it is actually unreliable to say that Yang Guang raped his mother and concubine, even raped his sister, and wantonly drafted.
The Sui Dynasty did have a draft, a few years to choose, but the number of show girls selected every year is not much, and these show girls enter the palace, in fact, they act as palace maids, show girls enter the palace, after training for the palace maids, and then release out of the palace after a certain age, which is almost the practice of all dynasties.
The emperor was also looking at Luo Cheng's body.
Looking at the scars, I was amazed.
"Luo Cheng, tell me about the origin of these scars?"
So Luo Cheng had no choice but to explain to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this wound was on my way home from digging a canal in Jijun, and I was robbed by a blue-faced ghost, so I resisted and was scratched when I captured and killed the thief, and it was also my first wound, fortunately, the injury was not serious, at that time, thanks to Qin Qiong's return from Donglai, so I drew a knife to help and captured the blue-faced eighteen ghosts······"
"This scar is that he was stabbed with a butcher's knife when he captured and killed a cattle thief."
"This scar was left when the bandits were suppressed in Changbai Mountain."
"This is the wound of the water thieves in Onozawa, this is the salt thief of Douzigang, this is created when the Liaoxi and Gaoming people were encountered, and this ·····"
There were dozens of scars one after another, large and small, of different depths, and the entire body was covered with these scars.
Yang Guang stretched out his hand and stroked it, greatly amazed.
"A hundred battles have been successful, I only know what it means to live the rest of a hundred battles today, Luo Cheng, you have worked hard."
"Luo Cheng, I have always had a puzzle, and I want to find a solution from you today."
"I am willing to share my worries and solve my doubts for Your Majesty!"
"I am now almost unconfused, and I have only given birth to four sons in this life, of which the eldest son and the second son were born to Empress Xiao, the third son was born to Concubine Xiao, and the fourth son was born to Concubine Chen."
Speaking of this, Yang Guang was a little sad.
He only gave birth to four sons in his life, and he can be described as a thin heir. The eldest son Yang Zhaokai was born in the fourth year of the emperor, and was established as the crown prince in the first year of the great cause, the eldest son has force, can pull a strong bow, is gentle by nature, calm in speech, and lives a frugal and simple life, which can be said to be extremely satisfactory to Yang Guang, but he died of illness in the second year of the great cause and died at the age of twenty-three.
Of the remaining three sons, the fourth son died when he was born less than a year old, and the third son was just eight years old.
The only adult left is the second son Yang Jun, who is his sister-in-law and is thirty years old this year.
"Since Prince Yuande died of illness in the second year of Daye, until now, the position of prince has been vacant for eight years. I want to ask you, should I appoint my second son, Yang Yin, as the crown prince, or the eldest grandson Yang Qi? ”
Luo Cheng was stunned.
He didn't expect that the emperor would ask him about the establishment of an heir.
How dare he answer this kind of question?
"Your Majesty, the crown prince is the prince of a country, although the heir is an important military matter, but this is a family affair of the Son of Heaven, the minister is just a military general, and he will never frown when he charges into battle for His Majesty, but this important matter, Your Majesty should be the dictatorship of the Sacred Heart, or ask the prime minister and the elder, and the minister does not dare to say anything."
When the emperor heard this reply, he was silent, and he could not see his joy or anger.
