Yan Shouzhan dragged his feet and refused to withdraw his troops from Bohai County.

His recital finally reached the capital and was sent to Emperor Yongtai's desk.

The words are sincere, but they can't hide the truth that they want more affordable benefits.

Emperor Yongtai threw the chapter in front of the third prince Xiao Chengyi, "It's really greedy, not enough snake to swallow elephants!" ”

Xiao Chengyi laughed, "Father doesn't have to be angry!" It had long been expected that Yan Shouzhan would not give up Bohai County easily. After all, he himself did not receive substantial benefits. The benefits were given to his wife and children. ”

Emperor Yongtai snorted coldly, "You also saw the content on the chapter, he didn't mention the matter of which son the title was given to in half a sentence." I see, he was planning to delay to the end. ”

"I think the title should be given to Yan Yunquan. Yan Yunquan had already left the capital and set off for Shanggu County. If there was no temptation of the title, he would not have been able to leave the capital at this time. After all, Jin Wuwei didn't want to arrest him. ”

Emperor Yongtai sneered and reminded the third prince Xiao Chengyi, "Remember, there is no matter of course in this world. When you take it for granted, it might be a different story. ”

Xiao Chengyi immediately cheered up, "What my father taught me is." What does Father mean that Yan Shouzhan may have done the opposite? If he doesn't give the title to Yan Yunquan, who else can he give it? ”

"No matter who he gives it to, before the dust settles, don't think that Yan Yunquan will definitely get the title. You're still too young, and you're too simple to think about people's hearts. If you look at Yan Shouzhan's recital, look at his wording, it is clear that he is an ambitious general, how can he obediently follow the path of the imperial court. ”

When Xiao Chengyi heard this, he picked up the piece of music again and looked at it word by word.

Emperor Yongtai mentioned him beside him, "The chapter must have been written by the strategists around him, but the content in it must have been the meaning of Yan Shouzhan himself." He is not satisfied with the benefits I give, why? Because the benefits are not directly given to him. It can be seen that he doesn't care much about the situation of his wife, son and daughter in his heart. ”

Xiao Chengyi frowned slightly, "Then what should I do?" If he wants more benefits, does he have to give him benefits? Can he be forced to withdraw his troops from Bohai County? ”

"How persecution? Relying on the garrison of the local government is not enough to be beaten. Relying on other local generals, it is very likely that there will be a situation where the tiger has just driven the tiger and the wolf comes. ”

"What does my father mean that he can only rely on the Northern Army, or the Southern Army?"

"For the sake of a Bohai County, we will not move the Northern Army. In the current situation, the northern army must not leave the capital. Unless, you have already made up your mind to eradicate Yan Shouzhan and Youzhou soldiers and horses. Are you ready? ”

The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, turned pale.

Finally, he smiled bitterly, bowed down and said, "Erchen is incompetent!" ”

Emperor Yongtai snorted coldly, "If you are not prepared, don't use the Northern Army easily." You have to remember that the Northern Army is the last resort! ”

"Sons remember the teachings of their father!"

Emperor Yongtai let out a sigh, "What can you do about this matter?" ”

Xiao Chengyi frowned slightly, "Yan Shouzhan is willing to withdraw his troops if he wants benefits." The key question is, what kind of benefits will impress him? He can't be added to the knighthood, so it will be difficult for the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou to explain. ”

"Yes! You have to take care of the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou. Therefore, the benefits of giving Yan Shouzhan cannot be put on the surface. ”

Xiao Chengyi's eyebrows jumped.

If you don't put it on the surface, do you play with the promise in private?

He was uneasy, and subconsciously thought that this set would not work.

But he couldn't come up with a better solution.

If you can't add officials to knighthood, you can only give money and food.

If the court had enough money and food, why should their father and son be so worried.

In the final analysis, it is because there is not enough money and food that these things will be troubled.

From north to south, they are all making trouble.

The generals went out to quell the chaos and asked for money everywhere.

How can you only care about Yan Shouzhan alone.

He bowed slightly, "Please advise my father!" ”

Emperor Yongtai flipped through the recital and was silent for a long time, "Summoning the Lord of Zhuyang County to meet you!" ”

……

Xiao finally waited for the word to enter the palace!

The Emperor seemed very reluctant to see her.

She handed the sign to the palace several times to ask for a meeting, but was rejected.

After receiving the command to enter the palace, Xiao dressed neatly and followed the chamberlain to the palace.

In the Xingqing Palace, she finally met the emperor.

It's just that I haven't seen him for a few months, and the emperor's current appearance has surprised the Xiao family.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Anxiety was born in her heart.

Emperor Yongtai motioned for her to sit down and speak, "I have aged a lot this time. ”

Xiao frowned, not only is he old, his spirit is about to be drained, and he is about to become a thin little old man.

What's going on?

Why has it changed so much in just a few days?

A few months ago, although the emperor was a little old, his spirit was barely good, and he was full of imperial majesty.

Now......

Xiao Shi sighed, "Your Majesty, take care of your body. ”

Although separated by a table, she still observed that in such a hot weather, Emperor Yongtai still had a cashmere blanket on his legs. In the main hall, there is only an ice basin placed against the temple gate.

She had only been sitting down for a moment before she felt the heat rising up, and she had to drink a little cold water to suppress the heat.

However, the emperor didn't feel the slightest heat, and drank hot health tea.

Emperor Yongtai had a calm face and a very peaceful expression, "You have a heart!" I gave you a knighthood, did it scare you? ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would be promoted to the title of county lord. ”

"That's because you have a good husband, and without him, you wouldn't have your lordship."

"Your Majesty has a point."

"It's just that you gave me the idea at the beginning, saying that you would give up Bohai County and give Yan Shou a battle. Now it's a series of things. As the so-called bell is still tied to the bell, how to deal with the aftermath, you have to count on you. ”

Xiao Shi raised his head slightly, "Is Your Majesty accusing me?" ”

Emperor Yongtai laughed, "You are responsible!" If it weren't for your idea to give Bohai County to Yan Shou to fight, I wouldn't have been anxious until now, and I would have been nagged and disgusted by the courtiers all day long. ”

"However, at the beginning, His Majesty only had one request, how to let Yan Shouzhan send troops and strength, strive to drag down the Xirong soldiers and horses, and wait for the Liangzhou soldiers and horses to encircle and strangle. I made an idea for Your Majesty, and I did solve this problem for Your Majesty. As for the aftermath, His Majesty did not ask for it at the beginning. ”

"I really didn't ask for it at the beginning. But now, I have this request, and I want you to share my worries, are you willing? ”

Xiao Shi lowered his head and smiled, "Your Majesty asks, how dare the minister disobey." It's just that for a while, I didn't know where to start, so that I could share His Majesty's worries. ”

Emperor Yongtai laughed, "You and Yan Shouzhan are husband and wife, and there is no one in the world who knows him better than you." The problem now is that I have given up my title, but he will not withdraw his troops from Bohai County. And also sent a concerto, clearly asking for benefits. This is his recital, and you can look at it. Blatantly blackmailing the imperial court is taboo. ”

Xiao took the piece from the hand of the chamberlain and opened it to read.

The content was roughly known before she entered the palace.

Yan Shouzhan's letter to her was very clear, that is, he disliked the few benefits given by the imperial court, just like sending a flower child.

Hehe......

In Yan Shouzhan's eyes, a mere title is almost equivalent to asking Huazi to beg for food.

After reading the recital, she bowed slightly, "How does Your Majesty want me to share my worries?" ”

Emperor Yongtai's eyebrows moved slightly, "If I want Yan to defend the war, I can withdraw my troops from Bohai County, and from now on, I am not allowed to use this matter to blackmail the imperial court for benefits." ”

Xiao Shi made an embarrassed expression, "If you want him to take the initiative to withdraw troops from Bohai County, I'm afraid it's not easy." It is better to send the Northern Army to force him to withdraw his troops. ”

The corners of Emperor Yongtai's mouth twitched, "Zhuyang, are you embarrassed by your heart, or are you embarrassed by Yan Shouzhan?" Even if your husband and wife are not at odds, you should not let the Northern Army go out. ”

Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, "I just said that, I didn't really want the Northern Army to dispatch." If you want Yan Shouzhan to take the initiative to withdraw troops from Bohai County, it depends on what benefits Your Majesty can give. ”

Emperor Yongtai shook his head, "If I can give enough benefits, how can I be so worried, and invite you to the palace to share your worries." Great Wei Jiangshan internal and external troubles, as a descendant of the Xiao family, aren't you worried? Can you bear to watch the Great Wei Dynasty full of devastation, all industries wither, and the small people hungry? ”

Xiao sighed, "Although I am worried about the country and the people, I can't do it." ”

"But you can influence Yan Shouzhan to withdraw his troops from Bohai County. This is for the benefit of the country and the people! ”

Xiao Shi frowned slightly, and asked solemnly, "How much food can Your Majesty give him?" ”

Emperor Yongtai shook his head, "There is no money and food." At most, I will transfer 20,000 yuan from Shaofu. ”

Xiao Shi lowered his head and laughed secretly, "With only 20,000 yuan, it is impossible to impress Yan Shouzhan, let alone expect him to withdraw his troops from Bohai County." It's better to give him an official and a knight. ”

"No!"

Emperor Yongtai denied Xiao's proposal.

Xiao Shi frowned, "It's not okay to add an official to a knight, then there is only one way." ”

"You say!"

Xiao opened his mouth, and it took a long time to think about it and say, "Your Majesty can give him a promise in private." ”

Now it was Emperor Yongtai's turn to frown, "What do you mean?" ”

Xiao dipped his fingers in the tea, wrote the word "soldier" on the table, and then wiped it off with his sleeve.

Emperor Yongtai frowned, and there were 10,000 alpacas running wildly in his heart.

He sighed, "You make me think again!" ”

Xiao Shi said: "This is the only thing I can do for Your Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Yongtai waved his hand, "You retreat first!" ”

"No!"

Xiao got up and bowed back.

……

The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, walked out of the side hall, he was very curious, "Father, what did the lord of Zhuyang write?" ”

Emperor Yongtai picked up the pen and wrote the word "soldier" on rice paper!

Xiao Chengyi frowned, "What does she mean?" Are you having a bad idea again? ”

Emperor Yongtai waved his hand, signaling him to be calm.

"Yan Shouzhan has a great appetite. If he is given an official and a knight, what kind of official can satisfy his appetite? gave him the official title, do you want to give it to the Liangzhou soldiers and horses, or do you want to give it to other military generals who are quelling the chaos? This opening can't be opened! ”
