Chapter 4 Rest assured
An Huajin has indeed encountered a lot of murders since she was a child, and she is familiar with assassinations.
"Yes, Your Majesty, don't you think that I can grow up safely, without illness or disaster, and have always been safe in the honeypot, right?" An Huajin looked at the emperor with a look of how could you be so innocent, "Since the battle of Yuxueling eight years ago, the murder and assassination around me have not stopped, and it is also thanks to my life that I have survived to this day." ”
The emperor was shocked in his heart, "Why haven't you heard from the old Nanyang King?" ”
An Huajin sighed, "You are busy with affairs, how could grandpa tell you that her little granddaughter is killed every day?" ”
The emperor thought about it, and turned his eyes to look at Gu Qingyan, who had not spoken after seeing the salute on the side, "Huai'an, you are extremely intelligent, and you have always been by Xiao An'er's side, can you guess who did this?" ”
"Maybe it's a spy between Nanqi and Nanliang?" Gu Qingyan shook his head, "The minister can't guess for sure, and it still needs to be investigated by the little prince Chen, the criminal department and the adults of Dali Temple to find out about this case." ”
It's Nanqi and Nanliang again!
Even Gu Qingyan guessed that it was Nanqi and Nanliang!
The emperor almost couldn't swallow a breath of cool air, and said angrily, "Nanqi and Nanliang failed miserably back then, are they still thieves all these years?" ”
Gu Qingyan sighed softly and said softly, "Your Majesty, in the battle of Yuxueling back then, our Great Chu also won a miserable victory. ”
Yes, a tragic victory, two words are enough to explain the tragedy of the year.
The emperor was dumbfounded for a moment.
An Huajin spoke at the right time, "Your Majesty, I went to the Jokhang Temple today, although someone wanted to harm me, I also gained something. ”
"Oh? What's the catch? The Emperor asked.
An Huajin changed his grievances and anger, and said happily, "I was originally going to go to the Jokhang Temple for fasting, although something happened on the way, but I can't be afraid of not going, so after Chu Chen and the adults of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple went, we still went to the Jokhang Temple." Unexpectedly, the Jokhang Temple is really rich, the gold bricks and blue tiles, the style is very magnificent, the abbot drinks the tea is the spring before the rain, I am very emotional, I said that the Nanyang military salary is tight every year, the soldiers are not full of food and clothing, the abbot is very Buddha-hearted, and he said to me, the Jokhang Temple has indeed been blessed with His Majesty's grace over the years, and the offering is quite rich, he is willing to donate five years of worship income to the Nanyang Army as military salary, and then donate five years of worship income to the treasury, with the Buddha heart of the Jokhang Temple, to be loyal to His Majesty and Chu. ”
The emperor was stunned.
Gu Qingyan smiled and said, "That's right, the abbot does have this to say, Your Majesty has been worried about the salary of the Nanyang Army all these years, and the abbot must also quite understand Your Majesty's suffering." Now it happened that the little county lord went to the Jokhang Temple to fast, and mentioned a major problem of the Nanyang Army, the abbot was kind-hearted, and he was very touched, and immediately said that he would donate the food and offerings that the Jokhang Temple had eaten in the past ten years, and he would be dedicated to His Majesty and loyal to Dachu. ”
The emperor was stunned for a while and asked, "Jokhang Temple is very rich?" I don't know, how many offerings are there in ten years? ”
"Six hundred thousand gold, that is, six million taels of silver." An Huajin said with a sigh, "A Jokhang Temple is richer than the whole of Nanyang, Your Majesty." My grandfather has been worried about the military salary all these years, especially last year Nanyang suffered a natural disaster, the harvest was not good, this year's military salary is even tighter, tighten the belt is afraid that it will not be enough for the soldiers to eat. Before I entered Beijing, my grandfather called me to him and told me not to mention the issue of military salaries to His Majesty. When I saw His Majesty that day, I didn't dare to mention it. I didn't expect that the abbot of Jokhang Temple gave me such a big surprise today, so I thought that I had to hurry into the palace to tell His Majesty the good news. ”
The emperor was shocked in his heart, as if he really didn't expect a Jokhang Temple to be so rich, he couldn't control what he wanted to bring it out on the ground, and said suspiciously, "You're not mistaken? Six million taels of silver? ”
Money is moving, even if it is an emperor, in the face of such a huge number, he can't be moved.
"Make no mistake, the abbot said it himself." An Huajin immediately said, "If the monks don't speak, even if the abbot fools me, he won't dare to fool His Majesty, right?" ”
The emperor realized that he was a little out of shape, suppressed his surprise, stabilized his mind, and thought about what would happen if he sent three million taels of silver to the Nanyang army? Will the Nanyang Army be overwhelmed all of a sudden?
Gu Qingyan's voice reminded lightly, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since the abbot of Jokhang Temple donated his military salary to the Nanyang Army at this time, he must have attained the Tao and glimpsed some heavenly opportunity. After all, it has been eight years since the First Battle of Yuxueling, even if the soldiers and horses of Southern Qi and Southern Liang come to attack, it is not surprising. Eight years is enough to recover. ”
The emperor sighed in his heart, and immediately thought about Gu Qingyan's words, and felt that it was quite possible, after Chu Yan mentioned Nanqi and Nanliang to him today, he also felt that it was not impossible, Nanqi and Nanliang have always been ambitious, and they have always wanted to invade Dachu because of their vast land and resources, rice and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, brocade tea, Huaihe River salt road, etc., and have always wanted to invade Dachu. Now that it is making a comeback, who will resist?
You still have to rely on the Nanyang Army!
After a moment of struggle in the emperor's heart, he said in a deep voice, "It's just speculation, if you make a conclusion early, is it too early?" ”
"Prepare early, and you won't be caught off guard when you really come." Gu Qingyan sighed, "After all, King Nanyang is old and in poor health. The Nanyang Army has no strong generals, and if there is no military salary, I am afraid that once the enemy soldiers come to attack, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
"Your Majesty, isn't it a good thing for the abbot of Jokhang Temple to donate military salaries?" Anhua Jin pretended to be strange and asked, "Why are you sad?" ”
The emperor's face froze.
Gu Qingyan smiled, "Your Majesty is worried about the Southern Qi and Southern Liang soldiers and horses, who will resist?" ”
"Naturally, it's the Nanyang Army!" Anwar Kam Road.
"There are no strong generals in the Nanyang Army. The problem of military pay is solved, but there is also the problem of generals. Gu Qingyan looked at her, "You can't go to the battlefield with the old prince." ”
An Huajin straightened his waist, stood straight, and said categorically, "I'm on!" ”
"You?" The emperor blurted out suspicions.
An Huajin looked at the emperor's suspicious face and said unconvinced, "Is Your Majesty underestimating me?" I grew up in the military. My father and brother, I will, my grandfather taught me by hand, I can't look down on me because I am a daughter's family. ”
Emperor: "......"
He looked at the little girl standing in front of him, with righteous words on her face, she did have the style of a military general, if it weren't for the fact that her appearance was too beautiful and her body was too slender, he almost really thought she was a general in the army.
She...... Why aren't you a man?
If she is a man, without his father and brother, she is still young and does not have so many thoughts, but she is a good heir to succeed King Nanyang, and he does not have to guard too much against a young man.
It's a pity that it's a daughter's house after all.
