The wedding of the eldest prince was held.

There are no long street hanging lights,

There is no welcoming procession composed of princes and nobles' children,

There is no onlookers from the people up and down Yanjing City,

Everything is simple,

Everything is quiet.

The court of the Yan Kingdom delivered a letter of state to the royal court of the desert barbarians, mixed with two letters.

The content of the letter is official words, which is nothing more than good-neighborliness and friendship, and the people on both sides are eager for peace;

The content of the other letter is written by Emperor Yan himself;

The real emperor with great centralization and supreme majesty, the letters he wrote in his own hand are actually countless times more credible than the so-called official words.

He can sit on the high platform of the Son of Heaven in a dignified place,

Or sit beside you like your neighbor and talk to you,

It's his freedom, it's his power, and it's his self-confidence.

In a handwritten letter from Emperor Yan,

Emperor Yan first explained to the barbarian king the reason why this wedding was simple, one was because Ji Wujiang was a general of the defeated army, and he still had the responsibility to show it off, so he could only let your daughter suffer a little grievance.

The other is that the war between Yan and Chu may break out again, according to the tradition of the Yan Kingdom, marriage is forbidden at this time, so it can only be held quietly.

However, at the bottom of the letter, Emperor Yan personally promised the old barbarian king that as long as the two countries did not fight, he Ji Runhao could ensure the safety of this barbarian princess.

If there is a fight, Yan Guo will win, and she will be safe.

The content of the letter is as straightforward as that.

reputedly

After the barbarian king received this letter,

scolded Yan Huang three times, it was really shameless,

But at night, he drank alone until he was drunk, and when he passed drunk, he still held a wolfskin cloak that he had made for his youngest daughter when he was young.

A political marriage began and ended like this.

Centuries of bitter rivals, a need to focus on the strategic posture of the countries of the East in the following period;

The other needs to face pressure from Western countries, and at the same time complete the internal power change of its own.

truce,

It is tacitly achieved by each other.

……

"The diplomatic relations between the two countries are actually inseparable from doing business, and what is important is nothing more than a matter of taking what they need."

Ji Chengjue sat at the table, drinking tea and talking with his legs crossed.

Sitting on the first seat beside him was the eldest prince Ji Wujiang.

"Of course, it would be great if you could completely smash the other party's business and swallow it and do it yourself, but when you can't afford it, you still have to pay attention to what you need.

If there is no war on the western front, I will be able to focus more energy on the east.

Qianchu is the real flower and country, desert, what are you biting, gnawing sand?

Do you think it's this sister-in-law? ”

The barbarian princess glanced at Ji Chengjue, and said angrily:

"Just you talk a lot."

"Hahaha."

Obviously, the relationship between the uncle and sister-in-law is very good.

The sixth prince has this ability to build a good relationship with people, even if the words he says are a little stinging, it will not make people feel disgusted, but will make people feel that he is very sincere.

Superior,

Except that the Supreme can do the royal way,

The rest has to add a little warmth and truth, as long as you don't wear a dragon robe, you can't do without that taste.

The eldest prince was free and easy, and said directly:

"I'm nothing, I'm a defeated general, everything, I take it for granted; It's just a bad treatment of your sister-in-law. ”

"Don't don't, don't treat me badly, don't treat me badly, brother, just treat my sister-in-law well;

Since ancient times, it is difficult to be happy with the pair of relatives, that is, the marriage between the Zhu Sect, how much can be loved?

Treat my sister-in-law well, not to mention that the life is so life-like, but at least peace also has the benefits of calm, harmony, sweetness, and the life of ordinary people is also good.

You say it's this sister-in-law? ”

The barbarian princess smiled and said very freely:

"The queen mother once told me that life is for yourself, husband, I don't care about that."

Hearing this, the eldest prince nodded.

He did have a good relationship with this barbarian princess, so sometimes he might suddenly feel at night that he had completely ruined the possibility of taking the heir because of this marriage;

But when I saw my wife's face in my sleep, I couldn't help but soften my heart again.

How can life be truly perfect?

"Are you here?"

The barbarian princess asked Ji Chengjue.

Ji Chengjue replied:

"It should be soon, I'll come first, but my daughter-in-law and my eldest brother want to send a pig over and make a pig-killing dish to be lively, so I will go to Fang Market to pick it first, calculate the time, it should be almost there."

"Then I'll go to Yingying, my younger brother and sister are also very good, and I can talk, sixth brother, I will often bring my younger brother and sister in the future, and we can play together to relieve boredom."

Ji Chengjue immediately arched his hand and said:

"Dare to disobey!"

After that, the barbarian princess got up and went to the front yard to prepare to greet the little lady of the He family and the eldest brother of the He family.

When she leaves,

The eldest prince glanced at Ji Chengjue and said:

"What you said earlier is true, what you said is actually yourself."

A dignified son, married to the daughter of a butcher's family.

Ji Chengjue shook his head and said:

"I don't want to do it again."

The topic has reached the sad place.

The rebellion of relatives has always been hated by the emperor;

Because the authority of the relatives and the royal family is actually symbiotic and one, and the relatives are vassals to the imperial power.

If the foreign relatives are powerful, the imperial power will inevitably decline.

In the past, because of the gate valves, the imperial power was compressed, so the previous generations of royal families had to marry the gate valve, the gate valve itself was powerful, and after the identity of the relatives, it was naturally more expanded.

Therefore, there is no doubt that after the Holy Lord has withdrawn his authority, he has cut off his relatives and stepped on the door in accordance with the development and expansion of imperial power.

But here, it is indeed infused with drops of blood and tears, when the relatives of the gate valve and the royal family have long been conjoined with branches and leaves, cutting off any of them will hurt themselves.

The Min family is like this,

The same is true of the Tian family.

"10,000 barbarian cavalry, already sent over." The eldest prince said.

In fact, before the wedding, a barbarian tribe was sent over by the barbarian king.

This tribe has a population of nearly 30,000 people, and there are nearly 10,000 people who control the strings.

The barbarian tribe, when they reach the age of being able to ride a horse, is a qualified warrior.

"Jingnanhou went to the fold early, this barbarian tribe, he asked for it, and there was no room for negotiation." Ji Chengjue said.

Originally, once the saying of razing and destroying was thrown out, it was directly well received.

Using barbarians to resist the savages and reduce the burden of Dayan is really a good way to govern the world.

Coupled with the fact that the Marquis of Jing Nan opened his mouth without concealment,

This barbarian tribe was sent to the Jin Kingdom to supplement its defense, and that was a sure thing.

Nowadays, the Jingnan Army is not only responsible for the defense of the entire Sanjin land to prevent the Jin rebellion, but also needs to guard against the threat of the Snow Field Savages, the Chu people and the South Gate Pass.

Troops, it is really stretched.

And after this tribe enters Jindi, there is no need to guess who it will be sent to.

According to reliable information, the one who ordered the slaughter of the Chu army in place of the Marquis of Jingnan was the newly appointed chief soldier of the Snow Customs, Pingye Bo Zheng Fan.

In fact

There is one thing Uncle Zheng has always thought about too superficially,

He just thought of giving the order instead of Hou Ye, and just brushed up a wave of goodwill and trust within the Jingnan Army.

But in the court,

The impact of this incident is actually even greater.

The fact that Hirano Bo Zheng Fan is the successor in the army personally chosen by the Marquis of Jingnan is almost semi-public.

And many bigwigs know the son of Jing Nanhou, who is helping to raise it.

The imperial court is still far from the time when the birds are all good and the bow is hidden, and it is still facing a huge threat of war, and the ability of the Marquis of Jingnan to lead the army to the expedition is unmatched by the great Yan in the world.

The matter of self-destruction of the Great Wall, the monarchs and ministers of the Yan Kingdom will not do it.

At the same time, although the Marquis of Zhenbei has handed over half of the military power, if you move the Marquis of Nanhou, it is inevitable that people will die and the fox will be sad, and if you move one, it will inevitably alarm the other.

The previously extremely stable triangular relationship, in other words, is to affect the whole body.

Therefore, stabilizing the Jingnan Hou has always been a top priority, and similarly, stabilizing the successor of the Jingnan Hou is also the key to maintaining the inheritance and stability of the Zhongshan in the Great Yan Army.

There was almost no hindrance, and this barbarian tribe was moved to the land of Jin and handed over.

"Hehe, Brother Wei said in front of that Zheng Fan that he would give him this dowry, but in the end, I didn't even have the qualifications to say a word.

Originally, it should have been his. ”

The eldest prince said this a little sluggishly.

This was a hole card he was willing to take out, and who would have thought that this card had nothing to do with him at all.

"Ugh."

Ji Chengjue also let out a long sigh and said:

"Big brother, isn't the opportunity right in front of you, in less than two months, you will be able to lead the troops again, the last time the horse stepped on the gate valve, it was killed too fast, and after the Zhenbei army stepped on it once, it immediately went south and threw itself into the battlefield.

Weeds are growing too fast because of this, so let's pick them up this time. ”

"Corrupt officials and corrupt officials cannot be killed." The eldest prince sighed.

"My brother didn't say that he wanted to kill, if they can do things, they will be greedy a little, I still understand the truth of being an official for thousands of miles just for money, brother, but there are some people in some places who are a little too greedy, and they eat a lot of oil but let the treasury run rats, which is not good.

It's like a room, it's impossible to keep it clean, and it's impossible to be spotless, so you have to clean it every once in a while. ”

"You can do what you say, anyway, your eldest brother and I are half a waste, you can help you with anything."

"Brother, let's not rush, just take your time, just take your time."

"Oh, by the way, listen to your sister-in-law, Ke Yanbu, who was sent over by the barbarian king this time, is very unruly."

The barbarian king gave a dowry, in fact, it was also a trouble.

Naturally, it was impossible for his own descendant clan to send it away, and the royal court had to strengthen its own strength rather than continue to weaken it.

Therefore, the Keyan tribe, a tribe that has always been disobedient to the control of the royal court, has become a "victim".

It is inconvenient for the royal court to carry out overt conquest and killing of the Keyan tribe, which will make the other tribes in the desert lose their lips and teeth, which is not conducive to the continued rule and power transfer of the royal court.

Therefore, in the name of sending Ke Yanbu to Yan Country to spend flowers and rivers and mountains, in the way of sending a dowry to his relatives, coupled with the threat of tens of thousands of iron horsemen in the royal court, forcing Ke Yanbu to accept this condition for migration is the safest way.

It is the habit of politicians that every needle has a purpose.

"Don't worry about him about this, the surname Zheng is not a good bird, no matter how heavy the taste is, he can digest it for you."

For Zheng Fan, Ji Chengjue is a hundred reassuring.

The eldest prince said:

"I heard that some people in the court have recently participated in your favoritism in money and food, pretending to be public and private, and using the funds of the court to support your henchmen."

"Yo, this wind is blowing really hard, it's blowing to your ears."

"There is no wind and no waves, besides, you told me last time that you really did it."

"Yes, yes, it's really done, but so what, once you're in power, if you don't give more benefits to your own people, who is willing to help you do things and work for you?

Even now, when the ministers who criticize and impeach me need to take sides in the future, they will not still be on my side, at least they can know that they will follow me and have meat to eat. ”

"Hehe, are you not hiding it in front of your brother now?"

"If you cover it up again, you will see the outside, and besides, if you hide it all day long, you will also be tired to death."

The eldest prince hesitated,

Or the Tao:

"The impeachment of you this time should not have been done by the second child."

"Naturally, it wasn't the second brother who did it, the covenant he worked so hard to make was used as a butt wiping paper, how could he be stupid enough to jump out and do this at this time?

As for me, I have to work hard now, and when the autumn comes, the money and grain will be escorted into Beijing, and I have to give our father a satisfactory answer;

What about him, since he does more and makes more mistakes, it is better to do less, or even, do nothing, my second brother here, your second brother, everything is good, but it is too stable.

It's stable, but it's boring. ”

"How can anyone talk about their own brother like that."

"Isn't it?

Oh, by the way, brother, there's one more thing I need to do with you, brother. ”

"What's the matter?"

Ji Chengjue took out a letter from his arms, put it on the table, and said:

"This letter is a secret letter from Xu Wenzu, the chief soldier of Nanwang City, to me."

When the eldest prince heard this, his eyes couldn't help but squint, and said:

"As a prince......

Ji Chengjue replied first:

"As a prince, if you don't collude with the army, are you waiting for death?"

The eldest prince was choked for a moment, but he still said immediately: "Xu Wenzu, if I remember correctly, he is a person from Beifeng County, although this person said that when he was an official in the court in the early years, he was inseparable from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but when he looked at the war the year before last, he was not incompetent when he stopped the raid of the border army of Qianguo in Nanwangcheng, so he ........."

Most of the capable people don't bother to do the grass on the wall that is downwind.

"It doesn't matter who he used to be, now that the Marquis of Zhenbei has handed over the military power, he Xu Wenzu is a member of the imperial court.

The people in the court are equivalent to people we can dig by ourselves, and I won't tell you, with Xu Wenzu's contact, I also took Zheng Fan's path, Zheng Fan and Xu Wenzu have a good personal relationship. ”

"Sixth brother, you are playing with fire."

"Then who put me on the fire?"

Ji Chengjue stretched out his hand and knocked on the envelope, and said to the eldest prince:

"Brother, do you want to see it?"

"I don't watch it, it's not that I'm afraid of my brother, but it's that I'm not suitable to watch."

"Look, look, it's not a part, it's not a part."

"Sixth brother, for my brother, have you always been afraid of the second brother?"

"Afraid of him? What are you afraid of what he will do? ”

Ji Chengjue got up from the chair, stretched, and said:

"Because he is the eldest son of his father? Because he is the son-in-law of the Marquis of Zhenbei? Because he is the nephew of Jingnanhou?

Hehe, Zhenbei Hou is better, but after all, isn't this marriage still unfinished?

As for our father, our Marquis of Jingnan, who really cares about his relatives? ”

Ji Chengjue took a deep breath and slowly spit it out:

"Brother, don't think I'm going too fast and too arrogant, brother, my life and death never depend on whether I am low-key and arrogant;

I am humble and low-key, I am arrogant and domineering, and whether my brother and my little life can be saved have nothing to do with half of the money. ”

"What does that have to do with that?"

"Woo........."

Ji Chengjue let out a long sound,

Laughing "hey, hey, hey" to himself,

Pointing out the door,

Road:

"Brother, you say it's funny or not, brother, my life depends on the faces of the official of the Qianguo and the regent of the Chu State.

If they are useless and are directly swept away by our father, then the best ending for my brother and me is to go to Huxin Pavilion to find the third brother to chant poems against them;

If they can stand it, then even if my brother and I go to the palace tomorrow with a knife, our father will have to pinch his nose and act as if he didn't see it.

Hiss.........

It is precisely because I have long understood it that I feel ridiculous;

Straight sissy thief,

Should I expect those two to be masters or wastewood? ”
