Chapter 291: The Emperor's Grace is Mighty

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

Today, Ji Chong's complexion is good, he is in a good mood, and he rarely has a kind smile on his old face, and he bows his head slightly: "Get up." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Your Majesty, what are you looking for Weichen?"

"What? I can't look for you if I'm fine? The old emperor's moody stinky virtue made him sink his face again. When encountering such an unreasonable emperor, how dare Jiang Yun say one more crooked word, and immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.

"That's it! Sensei put on this little daughter-in-law for me, how bold are you to think I don't know? Ji Zhong glared at him and said, "There is nothing else to do with you this time, Honglu Temple has already taken office, right?" How's it going? ”

It's okay if he doesn't say it, as soon as he opens his mouth, Jiang Yun climbs up the pole and complains endlessly. "Your Majesty, you don't believe it. The minister took office before, looking at the situation of Honglu Temple, where is a group of officials, they are farmers and beggars. The amount given by the imperial court is too low, and most of the countries we are responsible for do not come to pay tribute, and the same yamen, will this gap be a little bigger. ”

"I also know about the problem of Yulu, but this is a rule left over from a long time ago, and it was determined by my ancestors, even if I am the king of a country, I should not change it rashly." Ji Zhong said lightly: "Before, it was indeed like this. But then it's different, and that's why I transferred you to Honglu Temple. I called you here today to give you an account. ”

"You say."

"I'm about to turn 70 years old."

"Alas, congratulations to Weichen...

"Alright." Ji Zhong waved his hand and said, "What is there to congratulate." Since I ascended the throne at the age of 35, it has been 9 out of 60 years, and I have not had a big birthday in more than 30 years. ”

"Your Majesty is thrifty and doesn't like to waste the field." A painless horse patted it gently.

"According to tradition, forty is not too long, and when I was fifty years old, I suddenly discovered ... I'm getting old. Ji Chongwei sighed and said: "Just like Emperor Taizu, a master of great talent and strategy, after all, it is difficult to resist the erosion of time. Every year passes, I grow old, not to mention my birthday, I haven't had a birthday since forty. Therefore, this time, no one knows about the ministers. ”

Ji Zhong suddenly smiled and said: "I wanted to take advantage of the big birthday to amnesty the world and release you from prison by the way, but I didn't think that your kid would run out by himself." ”

"In that case, why does Your Majesty insist on celebrating his seventieth birthday?"

"Passing the birthday is just a situation, creating conditions for negotiations." Ji Zhong muttered, "The competition between the Khitan and Jurchen tribes over the Wuliangha region has intensified, and war will be inevitable. The Khitan was subordinated to Goryeo, while the Jurchens were attached to the east, and both tribes had backups, and once the war started, I am afraid that Goryeo and the two countries would be led by the east. ”

"Does it have anything to do with our Da Zhou?" Fight it, it's not your business, hang it high. Jiang Yun looked very open, war... When was it too peaceful on earth?

"Goryeo, the two countries from the east have always disobeyed my Great Zhou Yang, and it is nothing more than hanging the name of a subject country, and they have never torn their faces. It's okay to go east, but you don't have much contact with me, but Goryeo has always had good relations with the Xiongnu. If the two countries go to war, they are only afraid that the Xiongnu will send troops to intervene. Ji Zhong mocked: "If the Huns intervene, they will inevitably ask my Great Zhou to send troops to help."

"It's a good calculation." Jiang Yun snorted coldly: "I only paid a false name, but I spent countless money, food, and the lives of my soldiers to fight for them. ”

"Yes, they all fooled the court for fools." Ji Chongshen thought so, and said: "But Goryeo is also my Great Zhou vassal country, and there is no reason for me to go east." ”

"Then it doesn't matter?"

"No matter what, if the Jurchens are defeated, then the Xiongnu, Khitan, and Goryeo will be connected in a line, forming a joint encirclement in my Great Zhou. You are also the leading general, you should know that once this happens, the defensive line in the north of the Great Zhou will be too long, and it will inevitably be difficult to take care of the end! Therefore, I had no choice, even if I was reluctant, I had to go east. ”

The keen sense of smell of the little citizen immediately brought Jiang Yun back to his senses, and he said tentatively: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, we have no choice but to help Dongdong, but we can't help in vain, we have to get as many benefits as possible." Since Dongchu has a request for the Great Zhou, why don't you simply take advantage of the big birthday to give them a tributary step, and let Dongchu send an envoy to Beijing to discuss how to help them? ”

"Heh, no wonder Luo'er will look down on you, yes! A little bit is thorough. Ji Zhong smiled and said: "Jiang Yun, you remember, once I finish my birthday, I will immediately form a Gyeonggi battalion and send a large army to Datong Mansion, but I will not take the initiative to fight, and the 300,000 troops placed on the border are just to warn the Xiongnu not to act rashly, and the balance in the north cannot be easily broken." What you have to do is to try to get the greatest benefit from the envoys from the east during your birthday. ”

This emperor is old and old, but he is not confused, and he is fine! However, Jiang Yun is not stupid, and he still understands the truth of being prosperous. Thinking of this, his face changed, and he changed to a flattering smile. "Your Majesty, the minister wants to help you do this beautifully, but what reward is there?"

"What? Before the thing was done, you were in a hurry to ask for a reward? "Ji Zhong is angry and funny." Aren't you clamoring for a third-rank official position? How about the Inspectorate? ”

"Can you upgrade to three grades so quickly?" Jiang Yun was excited. "Your Majesty, you are relieved that this matter is on Weichen."

"What do you think?" Ji Zhong glared and said: "It is not necessary for you to negotiate with the envoy from the east, this matter is just a small profit, at best, it is only some silver income, which is not enough for you to be promoted to five levels in a row." I transferred you to Honglu Temple because there is a big matter for you to do, as long as it is done, I will transfer you back to Jiangnan and serve as an envoy. That's your father-in-law's place, Mingcheng sits in Jiangnan, he knows everything, there's nothing for you to worry about, you just have to live with peace of mind. Hehe, he is a big member of the party at a young age, a beautiful wife, this kind of life, even I envy it. ”

Although the old emperor was moody, he was still very authentic in doing things. His two daughters-in-law who have not passed through the door are in Jiangnan, and it is not a matter of being an official in the capital for a long time, so it is always good to go back early.

"Your Majesty, say it, go to the soup and fight the fire, and Weichen will not hesitate."

"Well, it's good to be determined, but it's going to take some wisdom to get it done. I just saw that you were clever, so I made an exception and planned to let you go. ”

"You say."

"Yizhou!" Ji Zhong suddenly shouted in a deep voice, which startled Jiang Yun. "Next to the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly, Da Zhou has been sleeping for too long, and he doesn't even know when this tiger appeared next to him."

When Jiang Yun heard this, goosebumps instantly stood up. Grass! The old emperor doesn't have a brain convulsion, so he wants to use troops against Yizhou at this time, right?

Ji Zhong didn't notice Jiang Yun's somewhat ugly face, and said to himself: "The spy alliance reported that Yizhou, which has been scattered for thousands of years, has been unified more than half a year ago, and the control there is extremely tight, and the people have some "ID card" issued by the government, and the spies of the spy alliance are almost unable to move an inch there, and they can't find out more information. It can only be confirmed that as long as the Lu family, who is in power in Yizhou, is willing, they can send an army of 300,000 at any time. ”

"In a mere land, there are 300,000 troops!" Ji Zhong stared at Jiang Yun and said in a deep voice: "And from the last battle of Fujian, it is enough to see that the Yizhou army is extremely strong, and it is not even under the Xiongnu. Such a powerful force, if it can be used by me, the Great Zhou will be like a tiger with wings, and the Xiongnu will not be afraid of it from now on. But if it's my Great Zhou's enemy, I... It will be difficult to sleep and eat. ”

Jiang Yun was very entangled, Yizhou was so evaluated by the old emperor, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried. The joy lies in the fact that Yizhou's strength has been recognized by the Great Zhou. The worry lies in the fact that Da Zhou will never take it lightly in the face of Yizhou.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"For the sake of balance in the north, I want to send a large army to Datong Mansion to confront the Xiongnu, and there is no need to say much about the risks, and a war will break out if you are not careful. Under these circumstances, there must be no further mistakes in the South. Therefore, after the negotiation with the envoy to the east is over, I want you to send an envoy to Yizhou immediately. ”

"Huh?" Jiang Yun was stunned, pointed to his nose and repeated: "You want me to go to Yizhou?" ”

。。。 It's so funny! That's his home, let him go to his home? How does that sound so ridiculous? After being stunned for a long time, Jiang Yun opened his mouth and asked, "It's okay to be an envoy, the question is what do you want, Your Majesty?" ”

"Include Yizhou in the territory of the Great Zhou." Glancing at Jiang Yun, Ji Chong continued: "I also know that this is impossible, so take a step back and let Yizhou surrender to my Great Zhou." Ministers, Nagong, must ensure that during this time, Yizhou will not use troops against our Great Zhou. Whether it's a threat or an inducement, as long as you can do it, it's your success. ”

"That's it?" No landing! This old emperor's generosity was beyond Jiang Yun's expectations.

Jiang Yun thought that he had taken a big advantage, but he didn't want Ji Zhong to look at him in surprise, so he thought about it, and after pondering for a while, he added: "Of course, it's not just that, the person in power of the Lu family in Yizhou seems to be called Lu Xun, and I named him the king of Zhennan, and he is hereditary." As for whether I want to go to Beijing to thank him in person, let him be, I will not be reluctant. ”

Hey, how else to say that the old emperor is generous! One didn't pay attention, and his daughter-in-law became a second-class county king.

。。。 This Nima is really a royal grace.
