Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of Xiang Wife Ruyu!
The man's words, every word is cut gold and jade, deafening, the morale of the soldiers is high, and the shouts are coming and going, wanting to fight to the death with the Hu people.
Thousands of miles away, Jingshi, Prime Minister's Mansion.
There were only two uncles and nephews in the hall.
Zuo Xiang stretched out his hand and slapped the desk, making a crisp sound of "pop", pointing at Yongning's face, hating iron and steel; "Today, the foundation of Daqi is already unstable, if he didn't insist on going his own way and would definitely start a war with the Hu people, how could he fall into such a situation?"
Yongning's face is pure and peaceful, and he says word by word; "Uncle, since the founding of my Great Qi, the country has been passed down from the hands of Taizu, and there has never been a matter of cutting the land of the Hu people, if once the precedent is opened, where is the prestige of the Great Qi country, the king of Dingbei will not let an inch of land, it is a blood to protect the family and defend the country, why should my uncle not save him?"
Zuo Xiang snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves; "The imperial court has no army to support the northern frontier, after the battle of the Divine Eagle, the vitality of the Great Qi is greatly damaged, how can it withstand years of war? At the moment, he should have rested and recuperated, but Liang Bozhao was bent on asking for war, and there was no soldier in the imperial court who could throw himself into the northern frontier, and this battle all depended on his own creation. ”
Yongning raised his eyes, "The Northwest Army is still in Beijing, as long as my uncle is willing to come forward to take the lead, write to the emperor, and persuade the queen mother to issue an edict to increase troops, Daqi will definitely be able to beat the Hu people back to Mobei, Dahe has repeatedly invaded the border over the years, killed my compatriots, and captured my people, how can those frontier people not be the people of Daqi?" As the left minister, how could my uncle watch those frontier people suffer humiliation, and let the king of Dingbei fight alone? ”
Zuo Xiang glanced at Yongning and said slowly; "Yun'er, you're just a princess. You shouldn't be in charge of these national affairs. ”
"Uncle, Yongning is the princess of Daqi, but Yongning is also a child of Daqi."
Zuo Xiang turned his face and did not speak.
Yongning walked in front of her uncle, Ying Ying knelt in front of him, she stretched out her hand, grabbed Zuo Xiang's sleeve, and said softly; "Uncle, I beg you forever."
Zuo Xiang pitied her for losing her mother when she was young, and she had been treating her as her own daughter for many years, and when she saw her kneeling in front of her, she couldn't bear it.
"It's not that my uncle doesn't want to help Zhongliang, it's that this court really can't take out any troops. Although the Northwest Army is still in Beijing, but the Northwest Barbarians are barbaric and fierce, if the Northwest Army is transferred to the North Xinjiang under leisure, the Northwest will be in chaos, and at that time, the rivers and mountains of Daqi will be even more stormy. Although Northern Xinjiang is the land of Daqi, it is far away from Beijing, and it is a land of wind, sand and bitter cold, even if it is taken away by the Hu people, there is no loss for Daqi. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Yongning to speak, Zuo Xiang said again; "The Queen Mother and Uncle also mean the same, if this northern Xinjiang can be defended, it will be better, if it can't be held, then it will be fine, Daqi has lost too many soldiers for the northern Xinjiang, there is no need to let people go to give their lives in vain, enough, Yongning."
Hearing the sound of "enough", Yongning's heart cooled down for a minute, Zuo Xiang stroked the top of Yongning's hair and sighed; "Get up, you're kneeling me, it's useless."
Yongning pursed his lips and spat out a sentence; "Just ten thousand."
"What?" Left is puzzled.
Yongning's eyes were clear and met his uncle's eyes; "Yongning only begged his uncle to persuade his mother to let the Northwest Army send 10,000 troops, and Yongning would go to King Rui again, King Rui had 100,000 Royal Forest Army in his hands, let him cut out 10,000, I don't think he would refuse. He Hui still has 5,000 Western Henan troops in his hands, and I can get 5,000 soldiers and horses from the third brother's mansion, and I can make up 30,000. ”
Zuo Xiang frowned and said; "With only 30,000 soldiers and horses, what can you do? Moreover, the treasury has been empty for a long time, and how can these 30,000 soldiers and horses get military salaries when they go to northern Xinjiang? ”
"Today's northern Xinjiang has reached the point of exhaustion, although there are only 30,000, but it is better than nothing, as for the military salary, Yongning will think of his own ideas, only ask his uncle, for Yongning to raise this 10,000 elite soldiers."
Looking at the niece in front of him, Zuo Xiang looked uncertain, his heart was both pity and hatred, and his voice was full of majesty; "Yun'er, don't forget, you are the princess of Daqi."
Yongning's eyes were full of sadness, and his voice was steady and calm; "I'm also his unmarried wife."
In June, all the lotus flowers in Kyoto are in full bloom.
Yongning held a lotus appreciation party in the palace, all over the palace women, and the ladies of the court, have gone to the jasper pool to enjoy the lotus, the feast, Yongning is from beginning to end, did not see the smile, the organic spirit saw the princess so, so it is the exit to ask, Yongning sighed softly, said about the war in the northern Xinjiang, only remembered that the soldiers in the northern Xinjiang are braving the scorching heat, and the Hu people bloody fight, bravely kill the enemy, and they are in this palace to drink tea, enjoy the beautiful scenery, the heart can not help but feel guilty.
Hearing the princess say this, those women naturally also laughed, and some of the people holding wine bottles also put down the cups in their hands one after another, looking at each other, and no one made a sound in the original bustling feast.
In the end, it was the wife of Dingguo Gong who said softly; "The concubine has also been paying attention to the war in the northern Xinjiang, and when she heard that the war was unfavorable, the concubine was also sad in her heart, and she only hated that she was a woman and could not serve the court."
Yongning was waiting for this sentence, she bowed her head slightly, and said; "What Madame said is very much, we are women, so naturally we can't gallop on the battlefield and serve the country like men. But Yongning has been thinking about it carefully in the past few days, and he also feels that even if she is a woman, if she has the heart, she can still do her part for the war. ”
Duchess Dingguo's eyebrows jumped, and she hurriedly followed Yongning's words; "The concubine is willing to hear about it."
Yongning stretched out his hand behind him, and immediately a palace maid stepped forward and handed an agarwood box to the princess. Yongning took the box, opened the lid, and took a look at it, but saw that it was full of priceless jewelry, jadeite, mutton fat jade, cat's eyes, thumb-sized gold beads, dazzling people's eyes.
"These are the dowries given to Yongning by the emperor when he was alive, and Yongning was kept as a dowry, and now the war in northern Xinjiang is critical, and the military salary is not continued, Yongning donated this box of jewelry to raise military salaries for soldiers from afar."
Seeing that Yongning took the lead in taking out the dowry, and the rest of the female dependents were also human spirits, they all came back to their senses, and they were willing to donate their beloved things with the princess in unison, so as to contribute to the war in Northern Xinjiang.
Yongning glanced behind him, and a palace maid stepped forward with a tray, and when those ladies saw this, they all took off their beads on the spot and put them on the tray.
Yongning's expression was calm, and a pair of phoenix eyes were looking at everyone, seeing that the jewelry on Mrs. Wang, the squire of the military department, had faded the cleanest, Yongning's face was praised, and his voice was loud, which was transmitted in everyone's ears; "Mrs. Wang's generosity, Yongning Ming is grateful in her heart, and she will definitely repay the queen mother and the emperor to know, and the court will naturally not forget the merits of the virtuous couple."
Listening to this sound of "virtuous couple", the daughters and their relatives were heartbroken, only to know how much they donated this time, directly related to their husbands, some stingy, just want to donate one or two things to get by, at this time they also took off all the beads and hairpins on their bodies, all of them were cast on the tray, the original room of jewels of the warblers and birds, at this time they are more plain than anyone else, and they don't even have a stud left on their bodies.
These women have a noble status, and this time they entered the palace to dress up for a show, and some of them wanted to dominate the crowd, and they spent a lot of effort on jewelry, including many precious things.
Yongning understands that every time there is a grand event in the palace, these women in Beijing are extremely luxurious in dressing, the wind of comparison prevails, and the jewelry is also more precious than the other, Yongning's eyes swept slightly on those trays, and he already has a little bit of calculation in his heart, although these jewelry are expensive, but if they are used as military salaries, it is still far from enough.
Her eyes looked at Mrs. Wang, who blessed her body and said crisply; "This time I entered the palace in a hurry, and the concubine still had some cherished things left at home and never brought them, if the princess did not dislike it, after the concubine returned home, she would pack up those things outside the body and send them to the princess again."
Yongning looked grateful and said softly; "Mrs. Wang understands righteousness, and women don't let them have their eyebrows."
Hearing Mrs. Wang's words, the other ladies also bowed down and followed suit.
Yongning retracted his gaze and looked at Princess Ke again.
Princess Ke knew it in her heart, and Ying Ying smiled; "Two days ago, the prince also said that the war in northern Xinjiang was severe, and he was afraid that the military salary of the imperial court was not enough. Now that the princess is leading us to donate our beloved things, we must also let them donate some silver, otherwise, the princess is not partial. ”
Yongning pursed his lips, "What the imperial sister-in-law said is very true, Yongning is afraid that the imperial brother will be reluctant." ”
Princess Ke said; "We women are all willing to do it, where are they reluctant to do it, ladies, I don't know if what the concubine said is right?"
Hearing the sister-in-law of the two sang and harmonized, those noblewomen in Beijing had to accompany the smiling face, where only the only way to say yes, only to know that this lotus reward will be just a small plan of the Yongning envoy, to ask the minister in Beijing to reach out for silver, but said that the high-sounding, people can not refuse, although one by one is unwilling, but also very good face, had to press down.
In this way, donations and materials in Beijing are prevalent, Yongning fanfare, the ministers donated two silver have been posted on the wall, who donated more, who donated less, at a glance.
In this way, the ministers who only wanted to donate some silver to pay for the errand couldn't help but sit still, so they had to donate one after another, for fear of falling behind others and being ridiculed by the Beijing people.
It didn't take long for the military salary to flow from the court to the people in the northern Xinjiang, and some wealthy businessmen in Beijing were also generous, and for a while, the Beijing division chased the wind and prevailed, and later, even the people in the market also contributed to help, wine shops and teahouses, and even the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, also donated a lot of silver.
Yongning's heart was slightly relieved, these days of hard work were finally not in vain, and the military salary was more than enough.
