Summer capital.

Since Xia Ren sent Yue Fei and them to the border defense, he didn't care much about this matter, because he believed that Yue Fei and them, with just the two middle and lower legions of the Chu State, they still couldn't help Yue Fei and them.

At this time, Xia Ren was entangled in another thing, that is, the Empress Dowager Li began to urge marriage, not only the Empress Dowager Li, but even the Zongren Mansion and the ministers began to urge.

Because Xia Ren's marriage is not only his business, but also the entire Great Xia.

But Xia Ren didn't want to accept a concubine so early, he still had a lot to do, he didn't have time to fall in love, the family hadn't solved it, why did he take a concubine?

But Empress Dowager Li and the ministers didn't listen! They only knew that Emperor Xia had no concubines, which was not in line with the ancestral law, and generally speaking, the selection of concubines should have started soon after Emperor Xia ascended the throne, but because Xia Ren was unwilling, it was delayed until now.

Now that half a year has passed, the harem is still empty, and the face of the royal family is not good-looking, so it has begun to urge in the past few days.

"Queen Mother, I'm still very young, so there's no need to be in such a hurry. ”

Xia Ren was arguing with Empress Dowager Li in Shou'an Palace at this time.

The ministers urged that it would not be in the way, and Xia Ren could completely refuse, but Empress Dowager Li urged it, and it was difficult for Xia Ren to refuse.

When Empress Dowager Li heard this, she glanced at him lightly and said, "What do you mean by being young? When your father was as old as you, he already had several concubines, don't you know how embarrassing it is for an emperor to have no concubines?"

Xia Ren smiled helplessly, he had been persuading Empress Dowager Li for a long time, but it had no effect.

Thinking of this, Xia Ren simply said: "Then let's take one first, don't have too much, the sons and daughters still have to concentrate on governing state affairs now, and there is no time to talk about these children's affections." ”

Empress Dowager Li smiled: "Don't worry, the mourning family knows that you are in charge of state affairs, so I want to choose a few concubines for you to take care of you, otherwise you don't know what it will be like to be busy!"

After speaking, he continued: "And the mourning family is looking for you to be everyone's ladies, who are definitely among the best, and their status is also worthy of it, and they will not wronged you." ”

Xia Ren nodded, and then suddenly said, "Is there a candidate in the heart of the queen mother?"

Empress Dowager Li smiled and nodded.

Seeing Empress Dowager Li nodding, Xia Ren was also interested, and said curiously: "I don't know which girl the queen mother has a fancy?"

"The Qin family and the Shen family, how about it?

"The Qin family and the Shen family?"

Xia Ren frowned slightly, and then said suspiciously: "Is it the Dingnan Hou Qin family and the Nanwu Hou Shen family?"

Empress Dowager Li smiled and nodded.

This...

Xia Ren was a little stunned for a while, now that he was fighting with the family, how could he suddenly accept a woman from the family as a concubine, and she was also the leader of the family.

"Mother, this may not be good. ”

When Empress Dowager Li heard this, she looked at him deeply and sighed: "In fact, what you have done, the mourning family also knows, you also want to solve the things that the previous emperors have not solved, and now it has reached a critical moment, so it is inevitable that there are some scruples." ”

"Although the matter of choosing a concubine for you, the mourning family has long been in secret, but for a while I didn't find a suitable lady, just a few days ago, the Li family sent a message over, saying that Dingnanhou and Nanwuhou have the idea of sending their granddaughter into the palace as a concubine, so that the mourning family can arrange it. ”

After speaking, he continued: "So when the mourning family thought of what you did, they pushed the boat down the river and wanted to send them to the palace. ”

"What did they ask for?"

Xia Ren frowned.

"Yes, otherwise the mourners would not have suddenly mentioned them. ”

Xia Ren was silent, since it was the Qin family and the Shen family who took the initiative to ask for it, then there was something to say about it.

Thinking of this, Xia Ren spoke: "Since this is the case, then the queen mother will arrange it first, and the sons and daughters will leave in advance, and they will come to see you later." ”

Empress Dowager Li waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, you can rest assured about choosing a concubine, the mourning family will arrange it for you." ”

Xia Ren nodded, and then left.

All the way to the imperial study, after sitting for a while, he ordered: "Come on, go and pass on the rebellion." ”

"Yes. ”

About half an hour later, Li Yuande came.

"Minister Li Yuande pays a visit to Your Majesty. ”

"Haha, Mr. Li is exempt, I invited Mr. Li to come over today, because there is something unclear, and I want to ask Mr. Li to solve my doubts. ”

Li Yuande suddenly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please speak, the minister knows everything." ”

Xia Ren nodded, and then said slowly: "Is it that Old Li knows whether the Southern Qin family and the Shen family know much about them?"

When Li Yuande heard this, he thought for a while, and said: "The minister is not very familiar with these two families, but he is more familiar with the Marquis of Dingchao, and most of the minister's understanding of them is heard from the Marquis of Dingran, and it is only an approximation, in case it is not right, please forgive Your Highness." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"In fact, although the Qin family and the Shen family are the largest families in the south, they are a little different from the Western families, the Western families attach great importance to the prestige in the hearts of the people, but the Qin family and the Shen family are different, the reason why they can inherit for so long is basically relying on military merits. ”

"They don't have that much need for the prestige of the people, so they generally don't make changes to the imperial court's orders, go against the orders of the imperial court, and don't often manage the prestige of the people, sending people around to manage the city, as long as they ensure their own interests. ”

Xia Ren nodded after hearing this, "So, the Qin family and the Shen family are actually a little different from some families?"

"Yes, and they are actually more loyal to the court. ”

"Then do you know that they want to send their granddaughter into the palace as a concubine?"

Li Yuande nodded, "The ministers know that they asked the ministers to tell the Queen Mother about this matter, and they also hope to gain the trust of His Majesty, so they will do this." ”

"Well, I see. ”

After speaking, he smiled at Li Yuande and said: "Okay, thank you Elder Li for solving your doubts this time, after you go back, you can tell the two of them that as long as everything is in accordance with my rules, then I can guarantee that the two of them can be passed on in the future." ”

"The minister thanked Your Majesty for the two marquis, and the minister retired first. ”

"Hmm. ”

After Li Yuande left, Xia Ren shook his head with a smile.

From Li Yuande's words, Xia Ren also knew that the two families in the south already had the intention of being soft, and sending their granddaughter into the palace as a concubine might be a means of self-preservation.

It just so happened that the Queen Mother and the hundred officials were urging tightly, if they could successfully subdue the two largest families in the south, then it would be okay to accept two concubines.

Subsequently, Xia Ren went to the Mingxin Hall again, asking Liu Bowen and others to speed up the cultivation of talents, if nothing else, the southern side will soon be completely under Xia Ren's control.

Time passed slowly, and more than half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

At this time in the west, the actions of the Chu army to commit the side are becoming more and more frequent, which makes Tang Peng very headache, although the Ruiwu Legion also comes up from the rear, but even if the two legions are combined, it is very difficult to resist the Chu army.

After all, the strength of their two legions is not as good as others, although the number has increased now, but most of those who have been promoted are new recruits, and the training effect is not at home, and rushing to the battlefield is fatal, and it will also drag down other teammates.

"Alas, now that the Chu army is becoming more and more rampant, I don't know when the reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive. ”

In a big tent, Tang Peng was sighing at He Dongcheng, the general of the Ruiwu Legion.

He Dongcheng is also a middle-aged man, but he is not as strong as Tang Peng, and he belongs to the lean type.

Hearing Tang Peng's words, He Dongcheng also smiled bitterly: "I heard that the reinforcements set off from Zhongxia Prefecture twenty days ago, and now that the time is calculated, it must be almost there." ”

Tang Peng nodded, and said again: "I don't know how the combat strength of the two legions is this time?" I heard that His Majesty has just formed it, and its combat strength is not as strong as the Qingwu Legion, so even if you come, it won't be much use!"

He Dongcheng shook his head, and then said: "It shouldn't be too bad, even if it is not as good as your Hundred Battles Legion, it is estimated that it is about the same as our Ruiwu Legion, otherwise Your Majesty would not have sent them, and Your Majesty today is not a foolish person." ”

"Yes, but I heard that His Majesty not only sent two legions to our side this time, but also sent two legions to the south?"

"Yes, I guess I'm afraid of the barbarians invading again. ”

Speaking of the barbarian invasion, Tang Peng said with some emotion: "In fact, compared to it, the pressure on Xiao Zhan's side is greater than ours, although there are many small battles on our side, there are not many casualties, and prisoners can be exchanged, while the barbarian side is different, they will never exchange prisoners." ”

"There's no way around this, the races are different, there will definitely be a gap, but I heard that the last 600,000 barbarian invasion was actually repulsed, it's really a bit incredible!"

Tang Peng also nodded, "Yes, I also asked Xiao Zhan about this matter, he just said that one of my army in Great Xia went deep into the barbarians, slaughtered millions of barbarians, and cut off the logistics of the barbarian army, so that he successfully forced back the barbarian army on the front line, as for who it was, he refused to say." ”

He Dongcheng was taken aback, he didn't know about it, he only knew that there was a problem with the logistics of the barbarians, and he didn't know how it went wrong, because he was not familiar with Xiao Zhan, and the grade couldn't keep up, and only Tang Peng, the general of the Hundred Battles Legion, could talk to him.

"You said that the legion sent by His Majesty to support this time, will there be that mysterious army in it?"

He Dongcheng said with some longing, "If there is, then we can strike a hard blow to the Chu army to avenge this period of time." ”

Tang Peng shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Such an army must be an ace army, it is impossible to send it easily until it is critical, and the number of people will definitely not be too much, so don't think about it too much, let's honestly think about how to resist the Chu army." ”

"Alas!"

He Dongcheng shook his head a little disappointed, he also knew that the idea just now was a little impossible, but he couldn't help but think about it, after all, they were here, and they were so aggrieved that they were beaten by the Chu army, and they didn't want to take a breath all the time.

At this time, it was about a hundred miles away from the garrison of the Hundred Battles Legion.

Yue Fei and Chang Yuchun are advancing with two legions.

"General, our army has captured a few scouts, but they say that they are scouts of the Hundred Battles Legion, so the subordinates don't know what to do, and please decide the lord. ”

"Scouts, scouts of the Legion of the Hundred Battles?"

Yue Fei smiled a little and said: "Since it is a friendly army, let it go after finding out the identity, let them go back quickly and inform the Hundred Battles Legion, just say that we are here, let them arrange the camp in time." ”

"Yes. ”

Looking at the endless West, Yue Fei's heart rippled slightly, he could finally fight again!
