Chapter 278: A military general will not be a colt
Since ancient times, the two countries have made a lot of peace, and Beimo has taken the initiative to marry the princess, why does Dongli refuse to accept it? Is it the meaning of the imperial court, or the meaning of a few of you? ”
Lin Yanniang can't understand why the East Lebanese side refused to make peace, and it was the eldest brother who presided over the peace talks, right? Is it the meaning of the eldest brother or the meaning of the imperial court?
"It's easy to get along." Yun Jingning explained amusedly.
"How many princesses come, we can accept them in Dongli, but who dares to marry the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army?"
"The Duke of the Northern Desert wants to marry you!"
Lin Yanniang was startled, immediately glared at the man, didn't speak again, didn't know how to say, but felt a little unhappy in her heart.
"No, I want to marry the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, I am a general, and there are several deputy generals under my command, Qin Duan is in charge of Yangcheng, and Qin Lei is in charge of Chishui Pass."
"So if you really talk about the commander, it's the three of us, no matter what the Northern Desert side means, anyway, I won't admit that it has something to do with me."
Yun Jingning couldn't help but laugh when she found out that her daughter-in-law was eating, but thinking that she was pregnant and afraid that she would be cranky, she still quickly explained clearly.
"Don't worry, if it's an ordinary marriage, Qin Duan and I are already married, Qin Lei is still a bachelor, he is suitable, but this matter must not be agreed."
"Why?" Lin Yanniang asked immediately.
"First, Beimo and Qin can express sincerity, but the intention of naming the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army is a bit complicated, and it may be with the intention of instigation."
"Second, no matter which country, it is easy for military generals to make meritorious achievements, but it is not easy to gain a foothold in the imperial court.
"Except for the prince, the royal family will not easily marry the border generals, and those who can be connected must have a foothold in the capital for several generations."
"Third, our Dongli is an enlightened and prosperous era, but the matter of guarding the border has always been valued by the imperial court, and it will never slack off, so the status of the military generals is also very high."
"But a military general won't be a colt, let alone a colt of another country? This is a big hidden danger, my eldest brother is also a military general, how can I not understand? ”
"Naturally, this one was immediately vetoed."
"Although the explanation over there is the nature of the public director, not the meaning of the imperial court, the imperial court still wants the princess to marry into the royal family of the capital, and the first choice is to enter the palace, but the princess is willful, how can she accept this disaster?"
"So I talked about this for a long time, and finally exchanged ten years of tribute, although this is a concession from the Northern Desert, and we also won it with the posture of the winner, but ......"
"Whether it's marrying a princess or paying tribute for ten years, do you think Beimo will be honest?"
Yun Jingning took care of Lin Yanniang and went to the kang, he himself took off his robe, sat on the edge of the kang, and asked her rhetorically when he said this.
"No, it won't." Lin Yanniang shook her head.
"If it is peaceful, it will definitely be committed to building a good relationship between the two countries, communicating with each other and prospering together, and marrying a princess in peacetime is better than marrying a princess after defeat."
"But if they are restless, how can they obediently pay tribute for ten years? As long as you take a breath of relief, or if you are a strong general in the country, you will definitely have wolf smoke again. ”
"Yes, you're right."
Yun Jingning looked at the little daughter-in-law who took a few pillows and sat on her back but refused to sleep, she was worthy of being the person he fancied, and sure enough, everything was different.
"Therefore, first, we don't want princesses and relatives, and second, the ten-year tribute we negotiated must be paid in one go for five years at once, and then the tribute will be paid year by year."
"I talked about this for half a month, and it was only yesterday that it was agreed to pay it for three years first, then postpone it for a year, and then pay tribute year by year."
"After that, Yangcheng belongs, this is our bottom line, Yangcheng is our own down, if we have the ability, we will take it back by ourselves, and all peace talks must be built on the basis of Yangcheng's belonging to Dongli."
"There are not many terms in the peace talks, basically these three major problems are solved, and the rest are trivial, and the eldest brother will go back in a few days."
"And Yangcheng and Baihua Pass are important battlefields for us to defend against the counterattack of the Northern Desert."
"The Yangcheng Order is now led by Qin Duan, and when the eldest brother returns to Beijing and submits the details of the resettlement here to the imperial court, the imperial court can only be officially determined if there is no objection."
He is a general, and he can decide what is advantageous, and he has the right to decide.
However, the war has been decided to be included in the city managed by Dongli, and it will be decided by the imperial court and managed by the officials.
For the official is the official is in charge of the ministry, and for the general to be in charge of the military department, if Qin Duan has been leading it in the end, it belongs to the military department.
The difference is subtle.
It's just that he doesn't need to say more to his daughter-in-law about this detail, she can understand the questions just now, which is already very remarkable.
The two talked about things outside for a while, and he urged her to rest, but he moved the kang table over, studied some ink and began to write a letter to the family.
The official documents have already been written, and this is a family letter to be handed over to the eldest brother to take back.
informed the family that everything was fine with his daughter-in-law's birth, and he would wait to be a father in the spring of next year.
It is precisely because of this that he was supposed to return to the dynasty after the new year, so his father at home helped him report to the emperor, please stay in Beiguan and wait for the spring flowers to bloom next year, and go home with his wife and children to worship his ancestors.
His father is a military marquis, his maternal ancestor is a concubine, and the current emperor is his uncle and grandfather, with such a relationship, this face still has to be given to him.
A military general should not be a horse, his father is also a military general, but his father is a county horse, and he is the county lord of the eldest princess's mansion, of course, the situation is different.
His eldest brother married the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Xing'an, the second brother married the second daughter of Taiping Boyan, and the eldest sister married the emperor's grandson, that is, the emperor's granddaughter-in-law.
In other words, their generals can't be horses, but they go around and around, and they are still the forces behind the prince.
However, the emperor is old, and he already intends to be the prince next year.
It is also for this reason that the emperor, the crown prince and the entire imperial court all intend to start a war with the Northern Desert within the year, but they choose peace talks instead of fighting a protracted war.
In order to just show an attitude, Dongli is strong, and Mo is competing.
This battle must be won! This peace negotiation must also be occupied by them on the initiative, not to compromise for the northern desert.
After he finished writing the letter, he slept with his daughter-in-law for a while, and when she woke up, he talked for a while, put his big palm on her stomach, and felt the child's greeting.
Although he is not often at home, many times it is his daughter-in-law who feels the changes in his children.
But as long as he is at home, he will often look at her belly, will talk to her belly, and will hurriedly reach out to communicate with him when the child moves.
The daughter-in-law said that the child is very smart and will sense the love of his father.
His daughter-in-law's words made him very excited, and he had the urge to teach him to read, practice martial arts, and learn the art of war immediately.
……
Three days passed after the winter solstice, and Yun 5 and Yun 6 came again.
Seeing that they were still wearing the cotton robes she gave that day, but they were not as energetic as every time they saw them before, Lin Yanniang couldn't help but laugh.
