Chapter 15: Asking for Others (3)
In the imperial study, Dongfang Chen, who had just left the court, and Su Hao, the general of Anyuan, who had just returned from patrolling the border pass, were chatting about military affairs. Su Hao is the elder brother of Concubine Ying Su Jinmo, a young general who is very relied on by Dongfang Chen.
The most difficult problem in this border patrol was that the two major tribes of the Hui suddenly joined forces to invade the border, requiring that the Great Zhou must pay tribute for future crossings, and even more so to remove the identity of the Hui as a subject of the Great Zhou.
There are many tribes in the Uighurs, most of them live on nomadic herding and are horse races, and the two tribes that have joined forces today are the two largest of their people.
After Su Hao's troops suppressed the tribes, although they no longer attacked, the two tribes at the border always sought trouble from time to time, causing the people to be restless.
Looking at the battle report in his hand, Dongfang Chen snorted coldly, "It's just that in the past two years, the drought has not been enough, the rain is not sufficient, and the grassland is not fertile, but if you say it in a good voice, won't I help them." This kind of autumn wind is really excessive, we are really afraid that they will not succeed! β
"Shentu and Xiya are just ratless rats at all, as long as they wait for another two or three months, as soon as the rainy season is over, it will not rain, their grain and grass will be completely cut off, where they are still arrogant, and now they have begun to snatch the food stored in the homes of the people at the border pass, where can they toss."
Su Hao, who opened his mouth to speak, was dressed in a red black suit, different from Dongfang Chen's own elegant temperament, Su Hao had the righteousness of being a soldier, his resolute face and deep facial features, Xu was invaded by the wind and sand at the border pass, and he had more of an old age than Dongfang Chen.
"That being said, if the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty do not go to the border passes, it is not feasible."
Expeditions represent the consumption of materials, and it is really not advisable to deal with a border tribe that is not to be feared, and it is not known whether several subject countries close to Hui will take advantage of this war to fish in troubled waters, so between the re-war and the non-war, the court is also divided into two forces, each occupying one side.
"Those civil officials in the DPRK and China are very capable of verbal criticism and writing on weekdays, and when it comes to such a major event, they can't say anything except war or not, they are really useless scholars! As long as the emperor says a word, the war ministers will definitely return triumphantly, give them some color and take a look! β
Su Hao remembered that this morning, several old ministers in the court had an empty shelf there, leaning on the old and selling the old there, which really made him angry.
Seeing that his best friend was still as upright as before, Dongfang Chen just smiled, and Li Mo put the freshly brewed spring tea in front of the two of them, "General, this tea is the tea that just came up this year, the general has been talking for so long, you should be thirsty, you can taste it." β
Dongfang Chen took a sip of the green and fragrant tea, and said unconsciously and unconsciously, "This tea is good, you can take some to the Yongning Palace, the queen loves to drink." β
"When it was sent, the slave had already ordered someone to take it, knowing that the emperor was concerned, the slave would still handle this matter, and now the emperor is more and more concerned about the queen's mother." Since the full moon banquet after the Dongfang Chenri in the Yongning Palace, today's Yongning Hall is the first hall in the eyes of everyone in the harem, but where there is a good one does not send to the Yongning Palace.
Li Mo replied respectfully with a smile on his face, Dongfang Chen snapped him, "Splash monkey, you can do the best thing about slapping horses, and now you are getting more and more oily and slippery." Saying this, there was no half of anger on his face, thinking that Wei Qingguan's happy Dongfang Chen still had a doting smile in his eyes, and he looked at Su Hao on the side a little surprised.
The news of the queen's resurrection from the dead is also known in the streets, but seeing that the emperor is so concerned, Su Hao is still a little curious. As the emperor, Dongfang Chen is not the kind of person who likes women, and there are only a few concubines in the harem in recent years, but the words he has heard the most in recent times are the words Empress Wei Qingguan, thinking that this woman should have great charm to hook Dongfang Chen in such a short time.
But obviously a few years ago, that woman had no sense of existence at all......
"The emperor likes the queen mother very much lately?" In the end, his sister is in the harem, and Su Hao is still very sensitive to Dongfang Chen's preferences.
"There are some of them, I feel very comfortable staying with the queen, there is a warmth that I didn't have before, it's like a feeling of home, you know?" Facing his best friend's question, Dongfang Chen thought for a moment and replied calmly.
Being an emperor has always been lonely, and a place in his heart has always been cold all these years, until Wei Qingguan's show of love, Dongfang Chen felt that the place in his heart was quietly moved. After waking up, Wei Qingguan can not be delicate and pretentious in front of him, he does not compromise, he wants to cry and laugh All his emotions are expressed on his face, such a vivid person, he is so moved that even he himself feels curious.
"So what about the past, the queen has been by your side for many years, why didn't you feel this way before?"
"Anyway, the current queen is different from before, and I am willing to spoil her!"
Facing the emperor's answer to Su Hao, who was thinking in his heart, his face was a little puzzled. And the voice of the queen mother asking to see was already heard outside.
Dongfang Chen did not have any scruples to directly announce Wei Qingguan's entry, when the door of the study was pushed open, Su Hao backlit and saw a woman in a clear pink wide-sleeved skirt palace dress, Qing Shui came out of the hibiscus to carve naturally, and there was no legendary feeling of being shocking but felt comfortable in his eyes, and Su Hao, who looked at it carefully, thought like this in his heart.
Wei Qingguan, who never thought that there was someone in the imperial study, changed his clothes and brought some snacks after sending Wei Jiang away, and came over directly, after seeing Su Hao, she just smiled symbolically at Su Hao, and the man in front of her had no contact with the original body, so the impression was indifferent.
Su Hao originally wanted to avoid it, but Wei Qingguan said quickly, "The general doesn't need to avoid it, the palace and the emperor will talk about something, and they will leave soon." The straightforward appearance once again surprised Su Hao.
After Dongfang Chen saw his best friend's surprised appearance, he couldn't help but want to laugh on his face, the corners of his mouth curled in a playful arc, and he said to Wei Qingguan, "What's wrong?" What is it that has made you so hurried? β
"The concubine made a long story short, the concubine came to ask the emperor for a will." Wei Qingguan stood beside Dongfang Chen when he walked beside the bookcase, straight to the point, but there was uncontrollable anger on his face.
Dongfang Chen was also curious when he saw her like this, took her hand and patted the back of her hand to soothe, "What is it?" β
"Today, a mother came into the palace to visit the concubine, speaking of the concubine's younger brother, the concubine wanted to say that the younger brother is also sixteen, and it is not a way to always do nothing at home, if you don't learn to be a gentleman, wouldn't you lose the faΓ§ade of the Wei family's century-old scholarly fragrance, the concubine heard that the border pass is in an emergency these days, so she wants him to go through the experience, not to mention defending the border pass, it is good to learn how to be patriotic behind the soldiers!"
"How is this possible!" Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Su Hao was the first not to agree.
Who in this Manchu dynasty doesn't know that Wei Mian's wife gave birth to such a son, Wei Jiang's heart loves this son like a baby, and his son-in-law will inherit the family business of Wei Mansion in the future.
"What's not to do, as a citizen of the Great Zhou, you should protect your family and defend the country, not to mention that Wei Yiming is the younger brother of this palace, so you should lead by example."
In addition to Wei Chengcheng, the most precious heart in Wei Jiang's hands is Wei Yiming, which is an important place for her to gain a firm foothold in the Wei Mansion.
Wei Jiang's unkind wants to send Wei Tingcheng into the harem to cut off his backer, then don't blame yourself for being unjust for this daughter, let her not be able to gain a foothold in the Wei Mansion first, she can only choose one son and daughter, and then she will have to take a good look at which side of the balance is tilted.
"War is not child's play, the queen sent a son who doesn't know anything to Weichen, do you want Weichen to treat him as something, the mother has nothing to do, or do more in the harem to be a female celebrity, fluttering butterflies!" The original good impression of Wei Qingguan at first sight was exhausted at this moment, and Su Hao angrily taught Wei Qingguan a lesson, completely forgetting that the woman in front of him was the queen.
"The general should know very well the reason that the general will not be subject to the fate of the monarch outside, how to fight sloppily with the palace here, and so on to send Wei Yiming to the border pass, whatever you want him to be a firehead army, or feed the horse pawns, what does it have to do with the palace, even if there is a war and one accidentally dies, it is also a sacrifice for the country, and it is the supreme glory of the Wei family! Born as a man, he should naturally protect his family and defend the country, and the younger brother of this palace should be even more so, this palace is not worried, general, what are you worried about!
Besides, our Wei family is not the only one in the Wei family, Wei Yiming is not the only man, and it is good to die all the time, you don't have to be afraid, the father of this palace has always regarded Ling as a god, not to mention a son, even if he is his net worth, he is still willing to drag it out! β
Wei Qingguan knew what Su Hao was worried about, it was nothing more than these empty words about his son-in-law's family business.
Wei Yiming was spoiled by the Wei Jiang clan, and his father had long been disappointed in him over the years, but Wei Zhang, who was born as a concubine, had a bit of the appearance of a descendant of the Wei family. I heard that he reads books very well, and he likes Wei Mian very much, but because of the residual power of the Wei Jiang clan, he has been living cautiously in the Wei Mansion.
She didn't worry at all that Wei Mian would be worried, the emperor personally issued an order, but she was afraid that Wei Mian would feel that it was a supreme honor.
"Guan'er, the border is tight now, once something happens, not to mention the soldiers who have no experience, even the soldiers with rich experience may not come back, we still need to think about this matter in the long run!"
Seeing that the two of them looked like they were facing each other, Dongfang Chen persuaded impatiently, he knew in his heart that the Wei Mansion had been worthy of Wei Qingguan over the years, and her occasional little tricks were harmless, but this matter was related to the major matters of the Wei Mansion's bloodline, and he needed to think about it carefully.
"I don't care, if the emperor doesn't give this will to the concubines today, the concubines will cry and die here!" In the face of the man's hesitation, Wei Qingguan played a scoundrel directly regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one, and the appearance of sloppy jokes was also to look at Su Hao, who was still angry on the side.
But seeing that Dongfang Chen was not annoyed and was still carefully persuading on the side, Su Hao could only sigh, the beauty tears are really heroes' mounds, this woman is really happy and has no reservations, but Dongfang Chen actually eats this set!
In the end, in the sobbing sound of the woman, Dongfang Chen issued a royal decree and agreed to incorporate Wei Yiming into the team of soldiers who were about to go to the border pass.
Where is this the mother of a country, she is simply a shrew! Su Hao swept away Shicai's good impression of her, and said with disdain in his heart!
Before leaving, the woman glanced at Su Hao proudly, and then said, "Oh, also, if Wei Yiming goes to the border pass and always wants to mention that the Wei family wants to overwhelm people with power, or thinks that he is the dragon and phoenix among the people, the general might as well beat him a few more sticks, this palace doesn't mind at all, really!" β
