In the Taihe Palace, Zhang Lingyang immediately ordered Zheng Yongji to draw up a holy decree, and then distributed it to the Quartet to calm the turmoil that may be caused by the confiscation of HSBC and other ticket numbers.

After the next dynasty, Zhang Lingyang's mood was particularly comfortable.

Not to mention anything else, the fact that the ministers fell into the trap set by themselves made Zhang Lingyang very happy.

"Sun Sheng, send a message to the noble concubine, He Concubine, Cao Concubine, and Yan Concubine to Nuan Xiangwu." Stopping, Zhang Lingyang gave an order to Sun Sheng behind him, and then raised his feet and walked towards the warm incense dock in the imperial garden.

When he was in a good mood, Zhang Lingyang naturally wanted to share it with his favorite concubine.

As for how to share?

That's not enough for outsiders.

Anyway, it wasn't until late afternoon that Zhang Lingyang dragged his tired body back to the Heart Cultivation Palace......

Before you know it, the time has come to the wax moon.

The inside and outside of the capital began to gradually become lively, sweeping away the previous tense atmosphere.

As the Spring Festival approached, Zhang Lingyang became more and more disin in love with the court, but from time to time summoned Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the new cabinet, and others a few times, and indulged in the gentle township......

Juyong Pass, known as the world's Xiongguan since ancient times.

At this time, a team of men and horses dressed in grassland costumes were approaching Juyong Pass.

"Ahead is Juyong Pass, and after passing Juyong Pass, we will reach the boundary of the capital!" A gorgeously dressed young man with a resolute face pointed to the silhouette of the Great Wall looming in front of him.

This young man is the little prince of Warat and the only heir to the throne of the current Great Khan of Warat.

"Your Highness, the villain still doesn't understand, it's so decent, why do we have to pay so many cattle and sheep to the Han people?" Behind the little prince is his personal entourage Ankeda, a strong man known as the 'No. 1 Warrior of the Prairie'.

"It's not because of the wine bags and rice bags in Jinzhong? I'm afraid that the Han people have become wary of our Warat! Although he said this, the little prince's eyes were completely contemptuous.

"This time I came to the capital of the Han people, and His Royal Highness came to personally investigate the attitude of the Han emperor towards our Wara, and by the way, take a look at the defense of this Juyong Pass." Pointing to Juyong Pass, which was about to be close in front of him, the little prince smiled.

"Over the years, although the strength of our Warat has long been restored to its heyday, we are unfamiliar with what the situation inside the Great Zhou is.

In the past, there were still the ticket numbers of Jinzhong to pass on news to us, but now that the waste has been dumped, our understanding of Da Zhou is extremely limited. ”

Ankeda said: "Your Highness, didn't it come a few days ago that because of the ticket numbers in Jinzhong, many high-ranking officials in the Han court have fallen?"

In my opinion, the internal instability of the Han court must be very unstable now, so we might as well ask the Han and directly wave troops south to attack the capital of the Han people, and the Han people must be defenseless. ”

The little prince glanced at Ankeda and said with a smile: "You are an elm pimple, if the Han people are so easy to fight, will His Royal Highness go to the capital of the Han people in person?"

You must know that fifteen years ago, it was the Han people in your mouth who attacked the grassland five times, causing our Wara to lose our troops and generals, and now they are recovering their vitality.

Until the specific situation of the Han people is investigated, His Highness will not act rashly. ”

"The reason why His Royal Highness asked his father Khan for so many cattle and sheep to pay tribute to the Han emperor was to show the Han emperor our attitude of submission to them, so that they could further relax their vigilance.

In this way, we can hit the capital of the Han people in one fell swoop when we attack in a big way. ”

"It's still thoughtful and thoughtful!" Ankda rubbed his head and smiled.

At this moment, there was no joy in the little prince's eyes, but he seemed a little worried.

The reason why this is so is because the HSBC ticket number sold a large amount of military funds to Wara was found out by Da Zhou.

In the little prince's mind, the Great Zhou must have begun to guard against Warat, a vassal state that had been subjugated to the Great Zhou for more than ten years.

"Hopefully things aren't as bad as I thought!" The little prince sighed, and then led his men and horses to drive the cattle and sheep to Juyong Pass......

Late at night, the Qianqing Palace was brightly lit.

Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Sun Dingan, the prince of Ningguo, were both called from home by Zhang Lingyang.

Looking at the letter in his hand that the Juyong guard sent over urgently, Zhang Lingyang said worriedly: "Two Aiqing, let's take a look, the little prince of Wara used to come to my Great Zhou in the name of tribute, and now he has passed the Juyong Pass. ”

"Eighty horses, five hundred cattle, and two thousand sheep, Warat is really generous this time." Sun Dingan took the letter handed over by Zhang Lingyang, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Handing the letter to Zheng Yongji, Sun Dingan said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that His Majesty must have ordered to copy the ticket numbers of HSBC and others a few days ago, which aroused Wara's vigilance.

The little prince came this time, but I am afraid that nine times out of ten, he wants me to test my Da Zhou's attitude towards Wara, and by the way, to find out the truth of my Da Zhou.

Your Majesty don't worry too much! ”

After reading the letter, Zheng Yongji also said: "Weichen's meaning is the same as that of Ning Guogong, and the little prince is here for the above two points." ”

"Then why would Warat suddenly pay so many tributes to my Great Zhou?" Zhang Lingyang asked puzzled.

After thinking about it, Zheng Yongji said: "From Weichen's point of view, Warat wants to use this way to show his surrender to my Great Zhou, so that Dazhou can relax his vigilance against Warat, so that he can suddenly go south in the future. ”

"So, Warat is heading south?" Zhang Lingyang frowned and asked.

Sun Ding'an shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is too worried, the old minister thinks that although Warat has already become disobedient to my Great Zhou, he will not attack my Great Zhou in a short period of time."

This time, due to the matter of HSBC and other ticket numbers, the military towns in the north of our Great Zhou have already been wary of Warat, and if Warat goes south in a big way at this time, it will definitely not be able to get any benefits.

Therefore, the old minister thought that Warat would not attack my Great Zhou within the year.

As for the Ming Dynasty and the next two years, the old minister is a little uncertain, but the old minister thinks that if he is prepared, His Majesty can order to strengthen the border defense and the north in the future. ”

"Zheng Aiqing, what do you think?" Looking at Zheng Yongji, Zhang Lingyang asked.

After thinking about it, Zheng Yongji said: "Weichen agrees with Ning Guogong's opinion. ”

"Since Warat will not attack in a big way within the year, it is not too late to discuss the matter of border defense after meeting the little prince." Bowing his head and thinking for a moment, Zhang Lingyang, who already had an idea in his heart, said.

Seeing that Zhang Lingyang had already made up his mind in his heart, Sun Dingan and Zheng Yongji did not persuade much, and left the palace after discussing for a while.

"Decree that Concubine Zheng will come to bed!" After returning to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhang Lingyang instructed Sun Sheng and went to bathe.

Zheng Guifei is Zheng Siqi, the daughter of Zheng Yongji.
