Chapter 161: The Palace

"Holy Lord, the gold lord sent someone to ask to marry Princess Jingjia is actually a last resort......" Yang Gan glanced at the few people present, and his voice was stunned.

The first Emperor Zhengde coughed a few times, and a sickly flush appeared on his face, in the autumn, his body was getting weaker and weaker, plus all things were redundant, and he couldn't get enough rest, but sometimes he could cough up blood, but at this time his spirit was extremely vigorous, Xia Jin came at the same time, which undoubtedly showed the status of Great Qin among the countries, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, how many years have there been no foreign time to come to Chang'an? The grass is growing in the courtyard, right? It would also be a great thing to be able to meet foreign envoys in his lifetime.

"Yang Qing can't talk like Wang Qing, if you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it."

As soon as he said this, Wang Daocun, the privy deputy envoy next to him, was blushing, but this was a few days ago, since Zeng Du disappeared for no reason, this privy deputy envoy was also anxious, he was not anxious about what Zeng Du was, but his son was an official in Qianzhou, he had a son in his later years, and he was very concerned about this son.

Yang Gan and several others also laughed, and Yang Gan continued: "A few years ago, Jelu Saba and Yile Wo attacked the prefecture and county, and fought a few battles with the Jin people.

In addition, the gold lords of the past dynasties are all ambitious, attacking my Great Qin is to enter Sichuan and Shu to get a glimpse of the Central Plains, and the strategy of Western Xia is to cut off my Great Qin and Tubo, and to the east of the Yellow River is to fight with the Later Zhou for many years, plus the internal injustice. Rebellions broke out one after another, and the Khitans, Tatars and Han people all regarded it as a revenge, which should be the reason for this kind of harmony.

However, in the eyes of the ministers, the Jin people, barbarians, do not keep their promises. The gold lords of all dynasties have made an alliance with the Later Zhou Dynasty and did not attack each other, but after a few years, they broke the contract and raised troops, attacked the state capital, and plundered the population. ”

Several people present nodded secretly, and the cardinal minister was really clear-minded. In just a few words, the shape shì was analyzed clearly.

"What Yang Xiang said is that the Jin people started from barbarism, swept back Youyan, and drank blood at the beginning. There is no fixed place, illiterate, no different from birds and beasts, and they live north of the Yellow River. Only to learn my Han education, so far only a hundred years, at the beginning and the Later Zhou alliance to capture the Khitan, Xu Hou Zhou to the land of Yanyun, after the destruction of the Khitan, it broke its promise and fat, occupied not returned, and then many times in Kaifeng City and the Later Zhou Dynasty to make an alliance under the city. During the New Year, they attacked again.

Such a capricious state, unpredictable mind, is rare, and there is no one who has no shameless heart, and the minister seconded Yang Xiang, but he can refuse. Wang Daocun said directly.

"Erchen has already asked someone to talk to the Jin envoy, seeing that they mean to make an appointment with my Great Qin to attack Xia, and the meaning in the words is that they are Jin people to take the Hetao. The rest belong to Daqin. You can also open the border market and exchange the salt and iron of my Great Qin for its mountain ginseng. Fur, sweaters, armor and the like, Xu has dealt with Hou Zhou a lot, and he always thinks of a wishful thinking, so he almost asks me to pay tribute to Daqin every year. The crown prince Li Xuanzhi said with a smile, then turned his head to look at Li Xuanjin who was lower, and then said: "Seventh brother, the military department also sent someone, right?" What do they say? ”

His eyes swept over the gentle smile on the third brother's face, and Li Xuanjin had to secretly admire in his heart, after all, he had been in the East Palace for a long time, and when he talked about these court affairs, he was still a little worse in terms of bearing.

"The golden envoy is arrogant, and he has said a lot of things that he doesn't like, and in his humble opinion, the alliance to attack Xia is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, and the result will be no different from the Hou Zhou."

Emperor Zhengde only nodded slightly, the smile on his face did not decrease, and he turned his head to look at the old man on the right, "Zheqing, what do you see?" ”

The scars on this person's face are the people Zhao Shi saw above the imperial palace, and when he saw the emperor asking, he bowed slightly, but his expression was solemn, "Weichen has been stationed in the northwest all the year round, and he doesn't know much about the Jurchens, but he sees that the ministers, the party, and the Jurchens are all barbarian states, and it is okay to be false and wrong, but it is delusional to marry my princess Daqin." ”

Only said this sentence and shut up, everyone did not think it was strange, after listening to him, Emperor Zhengde laughed, "The words of the Qing family are very in line with my heart, the Tang Dynasty has a lot of friendly actions, but the time is easy, the previous dynasty was prosperous, all countries came to the dynasty, the barbarians were afraid, now I am in a corner of the Great Qin, the power is not the same as the previous dynasty, some practices we can not learn, to paraphrase a sentence of the small family, at this time, it is not a business to catch up." ”

When everyone heard it, although they felt that what the supreme said was a little not solemn enough, but it was rare for the emperor to be happy, and he also echoed it, Yang Gan even smiled and said: "The emperor clearly sees that the Xixia envoys are just that, and the people from the Jin Kingdom are very arrogant. ”

Wang Daocun has been partnering with him for a long time, and he has echoed it again and again, but at the end, he said, "Yang Xiang received those gifts?" It is really hateful to take money from people and not do things for others. ”

Yang Gan smiled slightly, didn't look embarrassed at all, and said leisurely: "My mansion should also be repaired, there is always a leak in thunder and rain, and someone just sent it to the door...... Your Majesty, there seems to be a lot of peeling ground on the west palace wall, and I will also ask someone to repair it? ”

These few people couldn't hold back, it was the most unsmiling person in Zhemuqing, and at this time he was also smacking out with a sigh, Emperor Zhengde laughed back and forth, tears fell, and after a while, he wiped his tears and said: "People say that they are young and old, Yang Qing is also sixty and eight this year, right?" Talking like a naughty child, it's really funny.

But Yang Qing, as a prime minister, how can you seem to treat you badly, and even have to stretch out the money to repair the house, this must not sound good. The imperial village in the south of the city has been negligent for a long time, you take it to subsidize it, as for the underground palace wall of the imperial city, Yang Qing, you don't have to bother, who else has received gifts from the envoys of the two countries, and handed them over, and the people below are watching you act, since you dare to accept it. They dared to sell Chang'an, but ...... After that, I can find a reason to return it to you, our Great Qin Yulu is a little lower, but there is no way, and now this situation is unrelenting.

Today I am very happy, you and others can not be afraid of foreign enemies, which is exactly what I want. As long as we wait for the monarchs and ministers to work together and cheer up, why can't we build a feat that is not inferior to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu? ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Zhengde's face flushed, as if he was ten years younger. Where could these people still sit still, and several of them received gifts from the envoys of the two countries, and at this time their faces showed shame and fell to their knees. Yang Gan took the lead and said: "My Emperor Hongzhi, the ministers are more than helping His Majesty to open an indefatigable foundation to come out......"

Several people immediately said in unison: "My emperor is ambitious, and the ministers will help His Majesty to open up the foundation of eternal eternity......"

Emperor Zhengde sat down slowly, smiled and waved his hand, "Get up." ”

After everyone sat down again, Zhengde said again: "How is Wuju doing?" If the time can't catch up, forget it, the country can't act carelessly......"

Li Xuanjin hurriedly said: "Father and Emperor are too worried, and now the infantry and cavalry battles are over. There is only one last subject left, and the time will come, besides, the envoys of the two countries all came to celebrate the birthday of their father, and they will be present at that time, and let them see the power of my Great Qin, right? ”

As soon as his words fell, the crown prince over there, Li Xuanzhi, took over the conversation, "Father." Is this position more cautious? The left guard of the feather forest has always been forbidden to the palace. How important it is in case ......"

But he didn't wait for him to finish. Emperor Zhengde shook his head and said lightly: "Zheqing, what do you think?" ”

Orimu Qing was stunned, he didn't expect this matter to be asked to his head, but then he lowered his head and said, "I wonder if Your Majesty has the ambition to rectify the Jingshi Army?" ”

He has been back in Beijing for half a year, and he is an old courtier, and he is very familiar with military affairs, and he can guess the meaning of this saint by seven or eight points, so he asked first.

Sure enough, Zhengde said: "Yes, the armies have not practiced the battle formation for a long time, and the twilight is deep, I heard that Li Yanlu has opened a gambling house in the south of the city, and the people who go there are all Yulin Left Guard sergeants, some generals are in the middle of it all the year round, and some people dare to go there to play when they are on duty, and it is not easy to find a good person in the Yulin Left Guard, I don't want to know these messy things, and I don't want to understand why a left guard commander takes the imperial court's Yulu and goes to open a gambling house, don't tell me that the gambling house is not his land." , was it his nephew who made the matter, deceived me on the throne, and didn't know what the world would do? ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Zhengde's face was gloomy as if he could wring out water, "He is deceiving the sky, deceiving the earth, deceiving the heart, deceiving me, coming to the people, planning the will, what Yongfeng gambling house is sealed for me, everyone will take it back and hand it over to the criminal department for questioning, Zhang Ze ......"

"The minions are here." At this time, the hall was quiet and even a needle could be heard falling on the ground, Emperor Zhengde's anger seemed to fill every inch of here, and the people who were pressed couldn't breathe, even a few important ministers of the court didn't expect that the atmosphere was good, Emperor Zhengde would suddenly be angry to this point, Li Xuanzhi was even more frightened and pale, this was caused by him, he can't wait to slap his mouth now, why do you have nothing to mention Yulin Zuowei?

Zhengde was furious, and said sharply: "You personally take someone to ask Li Yanlu, and ask him face to face, but I am a faint king?" I'm the one who can be deceived? Ask him if his conscience is still there? Let him go to the public hall of Dali Temple to tell him well, sue him, I don't listen to lies...... Li Xuanjin ....... ”

"The son is here."

"I remember that you were in charge of the military department for the first time, so I won't blame you, if I let me know about this kind of thing in the future, instead of saying it from your mouth, you don't want to be the head of the military department, now I will give you an errand, and Li Yanlu will be judged by you personally."

"Yes, my son obeys." Zhengde didn't even call his son anymore, he called him by his name, Li Xuanjin's heart was also as if he was about to jump out of his cavity, and for the first time he directly appreciated his father's moody side, he was also frightened, and went out with Zhang Ze and the two of them.

Zhengde eased his breath and said in a slightly milder tone: "Now you know why I want to select talents from the martial arts to be the deputy commander of this Yulin Left Guard, right?" Or do you have another candidate in mind, then say it and let me take a closer look to see if it is also Li Yanlu and others? ”

Although his voice was not harsh, but in Li Xuanzhi's ears, every word was as piercing as a knife, where did he dare to slacken, "The father and emperor have seen thousands of miles, but the son is not careful." ”

When it came to Oriki Qingnai was the prince's uncle, although he felt that this nephew was too weak in his heart, he was fighting for it at this time, but he held back all his words, doesn't this confirm that he also has selfish intentions? sighed secretly in his heart, but he still couldn't bear to look at his embarrassed appearance, and took over the conversation and said: "Your Majesty, the prince's worries are not wrong, although Yulin Zuowei is already like this, but changing to a commander may not be able to make a difference, and the responsibilities are very heavy...... The minister also felt that it was better to choose a minister who was old and respectful. ”

Seeing him speak, Emperor Zhengde softened his face, but still shook his head and said: "I know this, but the generals and colonels of the Jingshi army are all Xunqing's children, and what they originally took was their loyalty, but now I see, some people regard the Yulin army as a shortcut to the sky, and their loyalty may not be, it's time to change, I just want to find a few outsiders to bully them, to get rid of their arrogance......"

Speaking of this, Zhengde looked at everyone present with a smile, "In the future, I will restrain your children and nephews, and if I say ugly things, if anyone really thinks that I am deaf and I am blind, Li Yanlu will be a ......lesson for them." ”
